DONALD TRUMP (GUEST): DeSantis wants to cut Social Security and Medicare. Nikki Haley wants to cut Social Security and Medicaid. Nikki Haley wanted to raise the age from 65 to 74, 75 --

MARTHA MACCALLUM (CO-HOST): Only for young people in their 20s. That's going to run out of money.

TRUMP: That's what they say --

MACCALLUM: At some point, someone has to address it, right?

TRUMP: That's what they say when it starts. They say, "Only for young people. It's only for young people." And then it doesn't work for young people and they end up getting up to people that are of the age where it matters. No good.
