The Story With Martha MacCallum

where the pause will lift. we want to make sure that people have a little bit of extra breathing room to pay for those loans once the pause is listed in august. so that matters. i don't think -- also his plan is actually very popular with americans. >> just process-wise, his forgiveness plan was done by executive order. even the payment pause was down through an emergency statute. the debt bill that mandates restarting payments got votes in congress to pass. this bill rejecting the forgiveness program cleared both chambers and is heading to the president's desk. how do you argue with that? this is clearly what people want to see happen? >> so, look, you're talking about debt relief that would have been -- that would have made 40 million people eligible that are borrowers. 40 million people. most of whom are making less than $75,000 a year.

that's who the president is focused on. that's what he did. look, we also preserved our ability to pause student loan payments. should be necessary in an event of future emergencies. that is also important. we have to look -- we don't know what will happen in the future. we have to make sure we're ready for that. when you think about 40 million americans, protecting 90% that make $75,000 or less. i think that is important for the president to protect the student loan relief plan. right? as he did during these budget negotiations and he will veto this resolution, as you just started that has passed. it is not the right thing to do. the president is going to focus on american families, always going to focus on americans who need it the most at this time. again, 90% from his plan, 90% of folks that are borrowers are making $75,000 less in this plan that make $75,000 or less in

from them and have a debate so they can see for themselves and make an informed decision. there's a lot of precedent to say it's not normal for a sitting president and go for a debate. jimmy carter did it in 1980. he had a series of debates with ted kennedy to show that he was the right man for the job. so i think given the fact that 70% of americans right now -- that's what the polling says -- don't want joe biden to run for a second term, there's a lot of not a significantly more amount but a lot of support for other candidates. it would be the right thing for him to do to go out there and do it. doesn't seem like that's in line with his strategy. he's more heads down focused on his job than out there campaigning. a lot of people want to hear from all of the candidates. >> when 76% are concerned, that's a big number. thanks. president biden gearing up for his speech to the nation this evening after congress managed to avoid aalamity

80, lots of people are concerned about his age. we've had ongoing questions about his ability to walk and not stumble or fall but even to the question of his mental faculty. people think he might be demented, declining. that's just part of the conversation. that's the political season. republicans have used it to attack him in a way that democrats did not even though trump is 76 as we speak. it's not the case that that was such an important element in the assessment of trump. he had some other issues, obviously. but what we see here now is i think -- i feel, you know, just as a human being, wait a minute. so every elderly person in americans and we have heavy voters, are they supposed to say because i stumbled, because i stuttered, because i forgot my keys i'm no longer competent? i just don't think it's a winning hand. >> i don't think that's part of

we watched the president reflect on memorial day when we reflect on all of our fallen heroes. >> benjamin: it is such a sacred and somber day. we had president biden yesterday say this is one day you can put aside your political differences. it's not about republican and democrats, it's about americans. the people dying serving their nation, they didn't die for political parties. they died for freedom. i can speak personally that that freedom extends around the world. it is an important event and an important thing to remember on this day. if you take one thing from this, it is unity of the american people. all races, all creeds, all religions. we see this today and we were going to hear president biden speak later. we saw the defense secretary and the joint chief of staff. it is an important event to come

are, that is a very popular issue for red, yellow, black, and white believe and probably by 60% that we should verify signatures of absentee ballots that would come in. we want to have fair elections but we also want to have fair elections and that we are not having voter fraud taking place across the country. i think the majority of americans believe in that. if democrats don't, tell us what they do believe in. >> julia: under senate bill seven, there are provisions that are put forward. drive through voting would be eliminated, partisan poll watchers would be empowered, and then a new i.d. requirement for mail-in ballots. seems like a no-brainer there. how with its deter minorities

democracy begins and grows in the open hearts when we come together for a common cause. thank you taps. that's what you do. and that is where we will be preserved. for empathy is the fuel of democracy. let me say that again. empathy, empathy, is the fuel of democracy. a willingness to see each other not as enemies, but neighbors and understand what the other is going through. to state the obvious, our democracy is imperfect. it always has been. americans of all backups, races, creeds, genders, identities, sexual orientations, have long spilled their blood to defend our democracies.
