was the 46th president of the United States. So please welcome the strongest defender of Social Security, the American people have ever had, President Joe Biden. Thank you, thank you. Governor O'Malley. My dad, the Biden family, started off in Baltimore. They don't say Baltimore. It's Baltimore. In Baltimore. But we've been friends for a long time.

And I just want to say at the outset, if everyone, anybody on your team, whether it's an athletic team, whether you're in a battle, whether it's a political team, whether it's a team just trying to help. You want O'Malley. the guy has guts no no I mean it's sincerely he not only has political courage

has physical courage he's across the board if everyone anybody's standing next to me I went on Malley there with me and I mean that sincerely I turned it out I didn't matter you know I always kid

the Maryland because Delaware the second small estate we we share the eastern shore Maryland with Maryland but we're close friends. And folks, you know, it's no surprise that he did a hell of a job when I asked him to be commissioner of the Social Security.

And the reason I did that is not an ordinary transition for governor. But I knew, I mean, this is from the bottom of my heart, I knew he needed someone some guts and toughness who'd fight for every single penny that needed. They would try to restore the integrity of the system. And to everyone here today, I want to thank you, all of you, very much for this award. It means a great deal to me coming from you. And I mean that sincerely.

It means a great deal. You're in the front lines every single day. You're helping. You're advocating for your fellow Americans, Americans of disability. It's a big deal. We talk about what happened in the physical side of it if we didn't have Social Security. Think of what the psychic calm gives so many people. We just don't know where to go, don't know how to traverse what they need to be done, or alone.

Last fall on the White House lawn, we celebrated the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. As the United States Senator 400 years ago, I was looking back on it, God Almighty, I've been doing this 50 years. It's hell turning four years old, anyway. But back in the year of 1990, I was a co-sponsoring. of the American Disabilities Act as a United States Senator. In my view, and I suspect many of you, it was one of the most consequential civil rights laws in American history.

That's what got me involved in politics in the first place. Delaware, like Maryland, was one of those states with a slave state. We had all the vestiges of what was going on back in the day. We were one of those states that still, I remember moving from Scranton, Pennsylvania, down to Wilmington, Delaware, and Cole died. My dad moved back to where he had, we could get a job. And remember I pulled into my mom and drive us on the Philadelphia Pike Connecting Wilmington in Philadelphia. And she, we lived in an apartment complex. And she'd drive us only about,

it's only about a half a mile to Holy Rosary School in Claremont. But it was so dangerous. She didn't let us walk up because of access road. I remember pulling in, pulled into the parking lot. And I had never seen, I'd never seen hardly any black people in Scranton at the time when I, and I was only going in fourth grade. And I remember seeing the kids going by at the time

called colored kids on a bus going by. They never turned right to go to Claymont High School. I wonder why. Asked my mom. Why? Why? So in Delaware, I'm not allowed to go to school in public school with white kids, honey. I'll spark my sense of outrage of the kid, just like it does. I mean, and these young kids right here can tell you things affect them

when they learn about something that's really just unfair and unjust. You know, my dad, my dad was an honorable man, and my dad used to have an expression. He said, Joey, your job's about a lot more than a paycheck. It's about your dignity. It's about respect. It's about being able to look at your kid now, and say, honey, it's going to be okay and mean it.

That's what you're all about. That's what the legislation is about. It's about dignity. Simple dignity. Everyone, everyone deserves to be treated with dignity. Regardless of the standard, regardless of the economics, regardless who they are. He got caps lock.

Making sure the more than 60 million Americans who live with disabilities are treated with, disabilities are treated with dignity. Dark Brandon. Is who we are as Americans? That's what it's about. I mean it. Dignity at work at school in their communities.

In every corner of American life, laws like the ADA need advocates like you. You're the ones that keep it going, God love you. You fight like hell every single day to make sure the laws respect it. And your clients' rights are protected. So from the bottom of my heart, I mean this, I give you my word as a Biden. And from the bottom of my heart, I say, thank you. Thank you for what you're doing.

Thank you for your commitment to the dignity of all Americans. Because that's what ultimately is about. Folks, today I want to talk to you about an issue that's front and center right now for millions of Americans. Social Security. You know, some of you may know, the Democrats have declared. day in the Save Social Security National Action Day, National Day of Action, I should say. We know just how much Social Security matters to people's lives. Everyone in this room fights for people with disabilities who rely on Social Security to survive, to survive.

Not just the physical side, it's the mental side. It's the mental side. You make sure folks get the benefits they earned after a lifetime of hard work. The work they do is more than just It's a profession. What you do is a calling. It's not just a profession. And Social Security is more than the government program. It's a sacred promise. We made as a sacred promise. 73 million Americans receive Social Security from the first paycheck for their entire life they pay into Social Security. And in return, they count on Social Security to be for them when they're going to need it. Folks must never ever betray that trust or turn our backs on an obligation. That's why during my presidency, we protected Social Security and made it stronger. Martin, the governor can tell you, we came in office, social security administration, had its lowest staffing, she referenced it, low staffing levels in 50 years.

Why the staff matter? Shouldn't the demand? Shouldn't the effect matter? Because of my generation and the baby boom generation. reaching retirement age. So the demands on Social Security increased significantly. Our administration secured nearly $2 billion, reduce the black backlogs and improved customer service. We slashed wait times for folks in need were calling the 1-800 number. We got it down to under 13 minutes. It used to be three times

that long we took office. Made it easier for people to get help with their claims. claims online, reduced how long it takes to review a case. We fixed the appeal system to make a uniform in all 50 states which made a difference. We strengthen the anti-fraud measures to protect people's identities and to make sure benefits are going to people who actually they belong to. By the way, those 300-year-old folk getting that Social Security, I want to meet them because I like to figure out how they live out. hell of a thing, man. I'm looking for longevity, because it's hell when you turn 40 years old.

But as a result, by the time we left office, we had improved every single line of customer service, from applying for disability to filing an appeal to reporting fraud. It all became more efficient and more effective. And I'll bet it made your jobs easier, too, in the process. Now, these achievements, These achievements may not sound so glamorous to most people, but you know, yeah, absolutely essential. Yeah. And by my view, one of the most important jobs of any elected official. Damn.

It's to make sure the government works for the people. Is that it? Works for all people. It's understandable. They can understand what it is. And then we keep our promises to the people, to all the people. That's exactly what we did, thanks to all of it. of you. Also signed in law the Social Security Fairness Act. That act eliminated two unfair

rules so public employees wouldn't get shortchanged that the government pension offset and the windfall elimination provision can never come in ever again. Yeah. But as a result, more than two million people are now finally receiving the full benefits they earned. And remember, we also faced a constant threat by some members, Republican members of the Congress to cut and gut Social Security, period. Cut and gutted, period. They wanted to let Social Security expire every five years. That was a proposal.

Let it expire every five years unless reauthorized by the Congress. Who in the hell do they think they are? Every five years and then wait around and be, no. Okay. All right. I will not go further. All right. That.

Can imagine the chaos. We got that one. Every five years, Congress is going to step up? Imagine this Congress stepping up? They threatened to raise the retirement age as well. Yeah. Now, that might not be a hardship for someone working in a comfortable job. But if you're on your feet all day, you do a manual labor all day.

working with the disability. It's a very different matter. And then they even tried to face cuts, forced cuts on Social Security during the negotiation of the debt ceiling. These are wonderful guys. Last time this guy had the job, he raised the debt ceiling

because of an enormous and profligate tax cut to the super wealthy. Oh, oh. And then he said, look, then they started talking to his colleagues. well maybe we can do something about Social Security but we got to do something about the debt ceiling

how are we going to make we can find the money in Social Security yeah unless we do what they wanted they wanted to cut Social Security not on my watch we refuse to go along with any of that look

Americans can always be able to count on these benefits and let me pause a second here and say this yeah we talk about the physical needs You all right? Social security provides for people, particularly hardworking people,

people retire, people on the edge. But the psychological impact is profound. He's right. Profound. You're a man or woman. You're 70s, 80 years old. You're not in good shape. They have a disability.

And you hear the chick may not come. Oh. How do you sleep at night? I didn't sleep at night We lived up in Wilmington The three-bedroom split-level home In their development 40 homes

With four kids and a grandpa's He's gonna And I remember my bed Our bedroom headboards was near My dad's I'm gonna X this off twice And you could tell when dad was restless I remember asking one night

My mom What's the matter with dad The next minute See, it's found out that they're not going to provide insurance anymore where it works. Well, imagine if you're somebody who's been struggling your whole life. You literally count on Social Security to buy your food. Food. Just to get by.

And you hear the threats, but what might happen. Yeah. Many of these beneficiaries are their only income. Yeah, of course. They were cut or taken away. It would be devastating, devastating for millions of people. He could be the president right now. You know that, right? The psychological pressure we put people under by having this debate. It's absolutely devastating.

That's why we work so damn hard to make Social Security Administration stronger than I've been in years. And that's why I asked the governor to take over, by the way. But look what's happened now. Fewer than 100 days, this new administration has made so much, done so much damage and so much destruction, it's kind of breathtaking you could happen that soon. They've taken a hatchet to the Social Security Administration. A hatchet?

Pushing additional 7,000 employees, 7,000 out the door in that time. How is the value of, including the most service employees size? Now they're getting ready to push thousands more out the door. How are you basing it off of how many people are hired? Already we can see the effects. For example, thousands of people use the Social Security website every single day to check on their benefits and submit their claims. Old people can't use computers. The technology division of Social Security Administration has been cut in half.

And so the website's crashing. People can't sign onto their accounts. What do you think it does to that woman's living alone? A 74 years checking and just not able to even find out whether she can't even find out what that disability claim is she has. She can't file a new disability claim. And there's a lot of these people being told incorrectly that the benefits have ended. Folks. Folks.

Imagine the panic that causes. If you're an attiree living alone, we're only Social Security to depend upon. Yeah, sure. So now people are overwhelming the phone line. Oh. Was showing up as a local Social Security office tearful and frantic and told, do you have an appointment? In that tone, by the way.

I can give you a personal example if I'm not going to go. The capital all off, serious people are now generally concerned for the first time in history, for the first and only time in history, and Social Security benefits may be delayed or interrupted. Uh-oh. Folks, let's put this in perspective. In the 90 years since Franklin Roosevelt created the Social Security system, people have always gotten their Social Security checks. Yep.

They've gotten them during wartime. Yep. During recessions. Yep. During a pandemic. Yep. No matter what, they got them. But now, for the first time ever...

They're still getting them, right? What? It would be calamity. They're cancelings? For millions of families, millions of people. Wait. Are they getting rid of Social Security? Commerce doesn't seem to get it.

Or based on his comments, he doesn't seem to even care. Many of you saw what he said the other day. They're deleting it? By the way, he's a billionaire. God love him as my mother would say. Paying 8.5% in taxes. Anyway, a billionaire's not only he's paying. But when he talked about the possibility of Social Security checks,

not going out this month. Yeah. He shrugged it off. Here's what he said. He said his 94-year-old mother-in-law wouldn't complain. Wouldn't bother her. She's probably a lovely woman. No kidding.

Her son-in-law is a billionaire. What about that 94-year-old mother? He's right about this. Biden is right about this. He doesn't have a billionaire in the family. Are all the retirees who depend on that monthly check to feed themselves? Yeah. All those people with disabilities have no other source.

What about all those people? Well, they haven't canceled it, right? That's who you fight for. So they should desperately need you. Folks, it's not just the Secretary of Commerce. I don't think so. Others empowered and emboldened by this administration talk about Social Security. One of them called a Ponzi scheme.

Oh. A Ponzi scheme? Oh. What the hell are they talking about? People earn these benefits. They paid into that benefit. They're relying on that benefit. And no one, no one, no one should take it away.

Yeah. You know, Franklin Roosevelt had a different view. He was president coming out of the Great Depression. Yeah. He and all his colleagues saw great suffering. Yeah. so much poverty. It also took steps to raise standard of living for ordinary Americans, including creating

Social Security. He himself was from a very wealthy family. He did his Social Security, but understood how much it would mean to millions of Americans. He knew it would make America stronger in the process. It has. It makes our economy stronger. makes the community stronger.

Yeah, social security is good. It gives peace of mind. That's where the vast majority of Americans, including many wealthy Americans, still support, thank God, Social Security. Well, yeah, obviously. Very wealthy billionaires still support Social Security. They may not rely on themselves,

but they know. They know. Social Security deserves to be protected for the good of the nation as a whole. Yeah. You got to ask yourself. Social Security is good. That's true.

Yeah. God ask yourself, why is this happening? Oh, oh, oh. Why are these guys taking aim and Social Security now? They want a boomer remover. Well, they're following that old line from tech startups. The quote is, move fast, break things. Well, they're certainly breaking things.

They're shooting first and aiming later. As a result, the result is a lot of needless pain and sleepless nights. Uh-huh. My friend, Governor O'Malley, knows what they're really up to. He says, and I love his quote, they want to wreck it so they can rob it. They want to wreck it so they can rob it. They're going to steal all the money from Social Security? Why they want to rob it?

In order to deliver huge tax cuts to billionaires and big corporations keep it going. They're going to steal it? They want to make money. permanent the 2017 tax cuts, which overwhelmingly benefited the wealthiest Americans and the biggest corporations. That's going to cost $5 trillion. Oh. Or are they going to get $5 trillion to pay for it? I'm going to continue to run the deficit up. Oh. Well, what are they always doing by winning, by running up the national debt, number one, and then by taking the money from someplace else. One of the two big,

pot some money out there in raw numbers. Social Security and Medicaid. Yeah. Well, from other programs that people rely on and have paid into Republicans, these guys are willing to hurt the middle class and the working class in order to deliver significant greater wealth to they're already very wealthy.

Oh. Who in the hell that they think they are? I really think they. I mean, just basic, basic decency. Uh-huh. Who do I think they are? I think anybody should go up.

They can make a billion dollars here. They can fine. Pay your fair share. What? You know what the average? We have a thousand billionaires in America. You know the average federal tax they pay? What?

8.2%. Anybody want to trade that number? Who's their accountant? What's your pay? Close. I need to know that guy. Can you? I'm sorry to go on so long.

This, anyway. I need to talk to him. Pennsylvania as a kid and then Claymont Delaware. Middle class towns, working class towns. Places where people worked hard all their lives with a promise that they'd be able to retire someday with a little bit of dignity. Because they've been paying anything called Social Security

since the very paycheck they've earned. Uh-oh. These people get not. knock down every day, learn to get up. My dad's wanted to get knocked down, just get up. Get up. They get up every day. The last thing they need from their government

is the liberal, there's deliberate cruelty. Is the liberals true brother, true brother? People who are neighbors across the country who look out for each other. You don't see empathy. They don't see this as a sign of weakness. They see empathy. a decent instinct.

They don't see cruelty as a sign of strength. Social security is about more of the retirement accounts. It's about honoring a fundamental trust between government and people. Yeah. It's about peace of mind. Yeah. For those who work their whole lives. So you can rest assured they have a chance.

Come on. Did he say it? Some of what they earned and what they deserve. Did he? But more than anything else, I mean this sincerely. And as my friend says, maybe it's the Irish of it. It's about who we are as Americans. Who are we?

What makes us distinct from the rest of the world? It comes down to basic, in my view, fundamental American values. Like what? Nobody's king. Pizza. Nobody's the boss. Everybody has a shot. Hamburgers.

All people ask you for is a shot. McDonald. Honesty. Decency. We're hard work as rewarded. Have some fake in each other. Fairness. Simple fairness.

Jesus Christ. We can't go on like this as divided as we are. Oh, on. I said I've been doing this a long time. It's never been this divided. Granted, it's roughly 30%, but it's a 30%. that has no heart.

30%. We see in America. That's who we believe in. Fairness. Uh-huh. And that's the America we can never forget or walk away from. Folks, I mean this.

I know it sounds tripe, but I have to remember who we are with United States of America. The United States of America. The most unique country in the history of the world, and that's not hyperbole. Every other nation was found because of religion, geography, ethnicity. We're the only nation in the world found on a notion.

We hold these truths to be self-evident. That all men and women are created equal and doubt by their creator. That's the one thing you're not. It's an idea. Every other nation was because of a purpose. It's an idea. Yeah. The other countries are stupid. the meaning that idea. We walk away from just basic fundamental decency. Folks, sorry to go on so long, but I feel deeply about this.

You know, I heard me say it before and I'll say it again. There's nothing, nothing beyond the capacity of America to do when we do it together. Let's do it together. God bless you all, and may God protect our truth. I mean, thank you for what you do. And thank you for this wonderful award. Thank you. Like, honestly, Trump missed a big opportunity.

If Trump was able to live react to this, I think that's what he should do from now on. Like, and I'm not even kidding. Like, literally just film him reacting to these speeches and just talking mad shit. Right? Yeah, Donald reacts. We deserve help to get you. We deserve help to get you.

I'm going to get you. We deserve help and pay for them. Thank you. So good to get you. I'm going to be. I'm a shot gun shack to the super tall deal. It's so ridiculous. I'm sorry it's just too much. Joe Bind's been his first speech.

They've got to grew up around black people. I've never seen those. Oh fuck.
