With that, I'll introduce Leader Jeffress.
00:06
Thank you, Chairman Aguilar and Vice Chair Liu, for your leadership, for convening House
00:11
Democrats, and for the manner in which you have presided over the House Democratic Caucus
00:18
in such an effective way during these very challenging times.
00:24
Donald Trump and House Republicans are crashing the American economy in real time and leading
00:30
us toward a possible recession.
00:35
Donald Trump and House Republicans promised that they would lower the high cost of living
00:39
on day one.
00:40
Costs aren't going down, they're going up.
00:43
Inflation is going up.
00:46
The stock market is going down.
00:48
Consumer confidence is going down.
00:51
Consumer spending is going down.
00:54
The retirement security of the American people is going down.
00:59
And it's all connected to the chaos, confusion, and corruption of the Trump administration
01:07
and extreme MAGA Republicans.
01:11
House Democrats remain united in the effort to protect Medicaid and the health care of
01:16
the American people.
01:18
We remain united as it relates to protecting Social Security and Medicare.
01:24
House Democrats strongly opposed the reckless Republican spending bill that will hurt families,
01:31
hurt seniors, and hurt veterans.
01:35
House Democrats remain committed to building an affordable economy and driving down the
01:40
high cost of living for everyday Americans.
01:45
And House Democrats are united in our understanding that we must take back the majority next year
01:54
with the fierce urgency of now.
