00:00Hands off Social Security, hands off Social Security, hands off Social Security.

00:11That's our money that we paid in.

00:13I worked 47 years paying into Social Security.

00:18So yeah, keep your hands off.

00:20That money was supposed to be banked for me for now.

00:24And now, three years into my retirement, I have to be concerned.

00:29That's not fair.

00:30That's not fair to me.

00:35This billionaire needs to keep his hands off of our Social Security.

00:46This is what I can say.

00:47What the numbers they should be taking is the numbers of seniors that vote.

00:52All of us get out and vote.

00:54Why?

00:54Because we got nothing else to do but pay attention.

00:57So guess what?

00:58That's right.

00:59We're going to vote them out of office.

01:00We're going to vote them out of office if they don't start speaking up about

01:05our Social Security.

01:07Hands off of it.

01:08So Social Security is part of the fabric of this country and it needs to be protected,

01:24not just for the elderly, which is what people think of a lot when they think of Social Security,

01:41but also for the disabled as well.

01:43And that's the population that I work with.

01:48No more trying to up the retirement age.

01:54No more restrictions.

01:56We want Social Security, we want Social Security to remain solvent.

01:59We want the government to start taxing the rich because they can afford it.

02:04If the rich were taxed appropriately and the cap were lifted off of Social Security, Social Security

02:10will remain solvent indefinitely.

02:12With the folks here, would you like to put your name and locality?

02:19We will likely be doing this at least once a month.

02:23The way this administration has been behaving, which is a lot of bait and switch and, you know,

02:29distraction, distraction, it means that there's a lot of stuff going on.

02:32But we will not be taking our eyes off the ball.

02:35We will make sure that we all eyes are on Social Security and that we will make sure that we

02:40will continue to show up and to push back.

02:47And I feel, I suspect, that what the Trump administration is trying to do,

03:02is to cripple the service so that Musk or one of Trump's friends can come in or maybe a combination

03:13of them can come in to try to rescue it through privatization and make huge money off of it.

03:24And that goes with that and a number of other things that Musk does.

03:29The people united will never be defeated.

03:34The people united will never be defeated.
