host: one more question about the proposals from joe biden. if i were a person who made much of my money because of stocks or anything like that primarily, what happens to me hypothetically? guest: if you are a millionaire, you would pay much higher taxes on your capital gains and dividends. he is proposing to virtually double the tax rate on capital gains and dividends from 20% today. they would have to pay the income tax rate of 39.6% on those capital gains and dividends. it doesn't stop there because there is the obamacare surtax on those earnings. that would increase the rate to 43.4%. that would be the highest rate ever on capitol hill gains and dividends or at least since the carter administration. that is a big change for high income earners. host: our guest joins us to talk about tax proposals. you can ask him questions. if you support the president and mike pence, one line, if you and kamalae biden harris, others, another line. we will start with an unspecified tax cut to boost take-home pay and also an unspecified made in america tax

biden. day, and sheed our gave her talk, something that really resonated with me was how she kept talking about the treasure of time. that is something that clearly, joe biden values, that they value together as we hear them say, one more day matters. i was sitting in the back, talking to craig, and it made us think about our niece a lot. we don't talk about it, a lot. we don't always have the opportunity because frankly, it is very sad. craig saidaway as earlier when she was three. she would have been eight. parents, who are the strongest people i know, they live in south carolina, and on her birthday, they gather her friends around, the friends that would have grown up with her, and they've released pink balloons into the sky. today is the first time that i have listened to what everyone up or has been saying, i've heard what people have said, coming from these groups in the talks we had this afternoon, and i actually thought, if this had happened to her today, if her, had been found today

biden: there is a solution. i have seen nothing care the president has no fortitude to deal with this. he knows better. his instinct was to say yes, we will do something. let's do it. come on. this is disgraceful. is disgraceful what has happened. reporter: the current vice president, mike pence, is in contact with the attorney general. and is in part of gun violent legislation that will include expediting a penalty for mass murderers. what is your stance on that? mr. biden: it is irrelevant. this is what we have always done before in the past. what you do when you cannot get something do is rational, you increase the penalty. do with theng to with rational gun policy. death penaltyhe would stop the white supremacist who killed everyone in texas? i don't think so. reporter: you are here on labor day. workers have more federal labor law protects which -- protections, should be allowed to unionize? mr. biden: the answer is i think they should. what is happening here and iowa and across the country is that non-unio

biden show biden up by four and in georgia up by one and the latest on the general election is up by friday from real clear politics and shows biden up by four. what in general is your take of polls at this date three months out? guest: stake inicans of more the presidential race and the governors race. inse are really high stakes november. before we get to calls, let's turn to a senate race. primaries coming up tomorrow, one of two primaries. let's focus on kansas in the race between roger marshall facing off against the secretary of state in that state, kris kobach, who served for a brief period of time in the trunk administration. tells about the dynamics at play. republicans are concerned about nominating kovach. candidates,her meeting that kris kobach could win the nominee -- nomination. they are concerned because he lost a governor race in 2018 to a democrat. in addition to this with two and then north carolina, the ideas republicans would have to invest in kansas would be a major blow to morale. host: we will look at some of those over the course of our conversation. merrimack

the media has declared biden the winner. the votes were still being counted, lots of states in question. lots of issues of corruptions by detroit and philadelphia and atlanta. i would like -- >> the supreme court heard arguments in a case that could strike down the affordable care act in its entirety. -- theirpreme court decision could take health care away from 20 million americans. it could take away protections for more than 100 and people with pre-existing conditions. and hurt the millions of americans who have come to rely on the affordable care act, getting rid of the affordable care act will take us backwards. to a time when people could charge a woman more for her health care than they could charge a man simply because she is a woman. to a time when pregnancy could be considered a pre-existing condition. it will take away free birth control and contraceptive coverage for women. this is all happening at a moment when our country is suffering to a pandemic that has claimed more than 238,000 lives. and we all know that

i don't approve of esther biden's plan. -- mr. biden's plan. my question, these last stimulus that we needed, i am curious why isn't all that money spent? wire they holding money back for the last stimulus and creating more stimulus? another thing is, we all know that corporations write off their taxes. it's a business expense. i have a suggestion. if he wants to help this country out, take the cap off of social security so everybody can pay to help everybody else. this taxing the corporations has been a smokescreen for many years. it doesn't work. they write the taxes off and the working people pay for it anyway. look at the price of things. these corporations are reaping the benefits right now. everything is skyhigh. they are already making their money back. mr. biden, take the cap off of social security so they cannot deduct that from their income. everybody pays to help everybody else. >> this from arizona. a few months ago, we were complaining that the economy was stagnant. now, the complaint is that economy is too hot resulting in inflati

now we know that all the stories , about biden's laptop, it was hunter biden's laptop. so every american should be , concerned about the biden administration creating a disinformation board that will be able to tell americans what the truth is, just like going off to the left, they will tell americans with the truth is and what you could talk about. reporter: you have been adamant about protecting the filibuster. i just wonder if the supreme court does strike down roe you , are majority leader, do you commit to keeping the filibuster in place at all costs? senator mcconnell: absolutely. we don't want to break the senate. and that's breaking the senate. we went through an exercise a couple of months ago and i said it was the most important day of the senate as an institution, it remains the case, and as far as i'm concerned, if we are in the majority it will remain the case into perpetuity. >> we make the court overturn roe, possibly responsible for the 6-3 majority. do you take personal credit for abortion rights likely to go away for millions of people in the country?

here is more of what joe biden had to say. [video clip] >> trump still doesn't have a plan of how to reopen safely. no plan of how to make parents feel secure for their children. he is offering nothing but failure and delusions on the start to finish. paying then are price. failure to take this virus seriously inflicting long-term lasting damage. i heard a gentleman, some of you were at that meeting from harvard say that every year is $10,000. they lose a tremendous amount of money. they lose a lot by every year of education that they lost. gainedear again, they $10,000. when you're sitting at home playing with the computer, it's not the same. it can never be the same as being in a classroom. >> good morning. every time you turn around, it's somebody with the virus. do when we going to they say clean up the schools and we have a lot of kids who were going back to schools with the virus? especially college kids. you can bring the virus home to your prayer -- parents. i would rather the school at home. the economy -- the virus t

what real leadership looks like is joe biden. to speak up, sometimes telling us the stuff do not want to hear but we need to know. the need for this mandatory mask be about whatlso joe has articulated and what a biden harris administration will do in terms of crating a pandemic testing board to get tens of millions of testing kits where needed, to build a public health job corps, hiring at least 100,000 americans to lead asthrough contact tracing soon we take office. and to chart a clear path forward for a safe and effective vaccine and guarantee every it byan equal access to investing $25 billion, which is in manufacturing and distribution. isn joe talks about this, it important the american people looking at the election coming up ask the current occupant of the white house, one of my going to get vaccinated? getof my actually going to vaccinated? there may be some grand gestures offered by the current president about a vaccine, but it does not really matter until you can answer the question, when am i going to get vaccinated?

did president biden, speaker pelosi and other democrats -- yet president biden, speaker pelosi and other democrats still want to tax and spend more. even the most liberal economists tell you that's wrong. which rarely seldom happens. they decided to propose another $5.2 trillion in new spending, as if there's a bottomless cash pit for politicians to draw on. they also decided to propose the largest tax increase in american history, including making the corporate tax rate the highest in the world. higher than france, higher than ventilators, a socialist country, -- venezuela, a socialist country, and higher than communist china. madam speaker, why would the democrats and speaker pelosi want to give china a benefit over america? i don't understand why we wouldn't look after american workers first. these proposals reflect a fundamental difference between republicans and this new socialist democrats. republicans believe that there is dignity and value in hard work and risk taking. democrats believe that process comes by forcing people to be dependent on their government. that's not progress.

joe biden and the radical left are now coming for our freedom of speech. they want to bully us into submission. if they get their way, it will no longer be the silent majority. it will be the silenced majority. this has to stop. freedom of expression used to be a liberal value, at least before the radical left took over. now the republican party is the home of free speech, the place where anyone from any background can speak their mind, and may the best ideas win. people of faith are under attack. you're not allowed to go to church, but mass chaos in the streets gets a pass. it is almost like this election is shaping up to be church, work and school versus rioting, looting and vandalism or in the words of biden and the democrats, peaceful protesting. anarchists have been flooding our streets and democrat mayors are ordering the police to stand down. small businesses across america, many minority owned are being torched by mobs. the democrat mayors pretend it is not happening and actually call it a summer of love. that brings me to another important princip

biden: thank you, reverend. well, i am here to introduce, another biden who is going to become president of the united states, my granddaughter, finnegan biden. from chicago. [cheers & applause] if anybody can make it, she well. by the way, i lost a daughter, i have one daughter that survived, and i have four granddaughters, and let me tell you, they are incredible. how many men and women have a granddaughter out there? how many have a daughter as well? here is the deal -- daughters always are wonderful. matter of fact, we always have an expression "a son is a son , you get to wife, a daughter is a daughter you have the rest of your life." here is the deal -- when your daughter is 12 and a half years old, you put this little butterfly in bed, you kiss her good night, next morning when you wake up and walk in, there is a snake in her bed. "daddy, daddy," and they all come back between 19 and 21, and my granddaughter, congresswoman says, you're not hydrating enough. i have to take care of your dad. she is a social

joe biden: folks -- i tell you what, folks. i can't tell you how much i appreciate pete's endorsement. and i know, from pete's supporters, the many people here, this is also a bittersweet moment. because you supported a man of enormous integrity. a fellow who has as much moral courage as he has physical courage. i really mean that. there has not been a harsh word between us since we started to compete. and i think that it's clear to everyone that this is a man who is not only brilliant but is decent. in this is a man who, when i called pete when he got out, which surprised me, when he said he was going to suspend his campaign -- i did not ask pete to endorse me, but i called him and i told him we needed him to stay engaged and needed him badly to be involved. because when you talk in the campaign and the debates about passing the torch to the next generation, that's absolutely essential. and i am absolutely confident, with further exposure of the nation to pete and all he stands for and all he will do and all he can do, that th

biden jr. will the aid please read the citation? staff: vice president joseph r. biden jr., in a career of public service spanning nearly half a century, vice president joseph r. biden jr. has left his mark on almost every part of our nation, fighting for a stronger middle class, a fairer judicial system, and a smarter foreign policy, providing unyielding support for our troops, combating crime and violence against women, leading our quest to cure cancer, and safeguarding the landmark american recovery and reinvestment act from corruption. with his charm, candor, unabashed optimism and deep and abiding patriotism, joe biden has garnered the respect and esteem of colleagues of both parties and the friendship of people across the nation and around the world. while summoning the strength, faith, and grace to overcome great personal tragedy, this son of scranton, claymont, and wilmington has become one of the most consequential vice presidents in american history, an accolade that none the less res

biden: my name is joe biden. i am joe biden's husband. that is how i notice my family. and i'm proud of it. -- i am jill biden's husband. that is how i am known in my family. and i brought it. your commitment to this cause, and it is a cause, i said this for the last 10 years, it is the civil rights issue of our day. i am not looking for applause. it is about what we are as a country. i told you before, chad give me early, butcoming out it was a very late. coming out early for marriage equality. i told the team that asked me to join them as vice president, that i would not make the case, but if i was asked, i would not remain silent. i have told you before, this was not difficult for me. it took nothing. as i told some of you before, i learned early on from my father a civil proposition. i was being dropped off at city tol in wilmington, delaware get an application to be a lifeguard in an african-american community. i wanted to work on the east side. i was 17 years old and i got out of the car, two men dressed in suits, one heading to the hercules building, the other he

that will be job number one in the new biden administration. either we have the majority in the senate or the minority, we democrats are going to push like anything to get a bigger, stronger bill. this bill is a good bill. tonight is a good night. but it is not the end of the story. it is not the end of the job. anyone who thinks this bill is enough does not know what is going on in america. does not look into the eyes of a small business owner who is losing his business. there's a lot of things in this bill that helped new york. i'm proud of the mass transit provisions, of the save our stage of provisions. when it comes to state and local , even though the republicans were relentless against it, we found other ways to aid the states so the states will get at least some of the aid they need, the localities and tribes will aid they need, but the republican relentlessness against state aid is just the filing. whens it any different someone who works for the local government loses his or her job and cannot feed their kids or someone from a small b

patrick's day little less than a year ago joe biden said listen, give me an opportunity. in those days only about one third of young people had a favorable view of him but they gave him a chance and that view is much higher now. it is 54%. then we have the george floyd murder where young people of all races, ethnicities, genders took it upon themselves to call attention to the concerns they had about systemic racism and inequality in this country. and that movement from the streets absolutely turned into movement on election day. young people see that the political institutions were actually listening to them, perhaps for the first time in their lives. i think that goes a long way to explaining why there is so much hope, especially hope among young african-americans and blacks. as you said i think less than one in five four years ago had hope about the future of our country. today it is closer to seven in 10. that just makes me feel good. i am the dad of three zoomers so when our children are hopeful that should make everyone hopeful. host: our guest with us until the top
