This is bob out of hometown, illinois, a republican. Bob, though ahead. Good morning, john. Love cspan. Thank you, go ahead. Im calling to criticize you particularly, first i want to make one comment about that. When President Biden says hes saving after ten years, we could potentially have three other president s within that tenyear span that can adjust that. Hes just talking about money he hasnt spent. He is not saving some. My criticism, six weeks ago, john from michigan was talking about irregularities in the 2020 president ial election. And you said 60 courts threw it out, thats incorrect, about three or four were thrown out, the other ones didnt even hear it because they said there is no merit. Im not saying the election was rigged, there were some shenanigans. 300 million where that goal, for one. Put paper upon glass walls, so, observers couldnt see the counting. Something happened. I am not sure what it was, im not gonna say it was rigged particularly but something did go wrong, when trump sent the people at his rally to peacefully walk to the capital, they leave that out all the time. And the director, his first hearing, was asked under oath, was that insurrection . He said no, when people refer to this insurrection, they say 60 courts, it just makes you think a little bit. This is out of hawaii. Good morning. Good morning, thankyou for having me on. Yo know, its sofrustrating when you hear somebody call in and say crazy things. When it comes to the debt ceiling, theres so many ways we could save money, wicked t extremely wealthy, we cant tax the churches because the churches cant keep thr ses outf politics, theyre supposed to beserate, their name. Theres so many ways we can save money without hurting social sury or programs that we ne for us, the people. Wherehenes that put them in pow,nd its always the same tngwhen the democrats are in ow, the republicans refusedo rk with them, the republicans in power, the democrats actually try. The republicans never given. Its like they control it over they want, they change it to their narrative every single time, and you hear them talking about things like, saying its not an insurrection, it was absolutely an insurrection. Thats a waste of taxpayer dollars, right there, i mean, isnt he a private citizen now . Theyre going after him with our taxpayer dollars and talking about saving money, they want to cut important programs, theyve been trying to cut these programs for years. Yet, here they are, trying to use them as leverage, threatening to default our nation so they can get what they want. This is shannon and waterloo, iowa, independent. Good morning. Good morning. This is shannon. I just wanted to say education is very important. As a veteran, i get benefits to go to school, i dont feel that its fair that people arent able to get an education in the same way i did. I dont feel that people need to put their body on the line in order to get an education. I feel that universal Health Care Needs to be implemented. All that to say shannon, what are your thoughts on Debt Forgiveness for folks whove taken out student loans, to forgive Student Loan Debt . I still think people should be free, it should be waived completely, universal education. What do you say to folks who say, how are we gonna pay for all that if we do the . Taxing the rich. That is shannon. Thank you. Shannon and iowa. This is roberta, portland, oregon, independent, good morning. Its open for him. Hello. Good morning. I am a little bit perturbed an upset with the republican party. Under trump, they passed but that limit, and then they turn around and now, theyre trying to say biden is destroying the country, all of this. That does not make sense. Theyve been trying to get rid of Social Security for decades. Mitch mcconnell in all of them have been trying to get rid of it for a long time. It doesnt make sense to keep fighting over this. This is just crazy. They can cut Entitlement Programs, it wasnt an Entitlement Program and roosevelt put it in office in 1935 and it was finalized and 36, and now, they keep talking about going, you know, they cant have it both ways. Its not going out, you know, whatever they. Keep telling everybody that Social Security is gonna be and every president has ever been in office has checked money from Social Security. This does not make sense. This is just crazy. And then they want to default on the debt, Social Security, medicaid, medicare, they want people to go to work. For what . This is stupid. Don in fremont, ohio. Democrat. Good morning, its our open forum. Yeah, Social Security has when bush took office because one trillion dollars from Social Security never put it back. Started the iraq war, there is no reason to do that, destroy the economy. Trump spent 8. 2 trillion dollars. What did he do with it . Indianapolis, indiana, this is vicky, republican, good morning. Good morning. I just wanted to make a comment. You know, they talk about if they default Social Security wont get paid. Well, how about congress not getting paid .
