00:00
Thank you, Mr. Leader. So now we have President Trump's budget proposal for funding the government, and we have budget reconciliation.
00:06
How are House Democrats kind of showing the difference between these two, talking to constituents,
00:11
and have you seen, for example, Congressman Lawler's comments regarding affordable energy and his concerns on cuts to that?
00:19
I have not seen Representative Lawler's comments on affordable energy.
00:24
I don't know whether they were made at this very active town hall meeting, but do look forward to seeing those things.
00:31
And I commend those Republicans who actually are having town hall meetings because the overwhelming majority of them are running away from them.
00:39
But nonetheless, every single one of them are actively supporting, including Representative Lawler, Trump's extreme agenda.
00:48
And it's all part of the same thing, right?
00:51
The budget, the reconciliation, the appropriations process.
00:55
It's all part of an extreme Republican agenda that they are trying to jam down the throats of the American people
01:03
without engaging in any effort to solve problems on behalf of hardworking American taxpayers in a bipartisan manner.
01:13
And the American people are seeing the extremism, rejecting it.
01:18
It is deeply unpopular.
01:21
It's why Donald Trump is underwater in terms of his approval ratings, and that has happened in record time.
01:29
And it's also why every single generic ballot, including most recently Fox News, has had Democrats up in Fox News by seven points.
01:40
Because the American people understand that Donald Trump and House Republicans have broken their promises to them to make life better.
01:56
And we're going to continue to be very clear with the American people.
02:01
We hear you, we see you, we feel you.
02:03
House Democrats are determined to make life better for you.
02:07
Thank you, everyone.
