00:00
Good morning. So grateful to be joined today by DPCC Chair Debbie Dingell and Co-Chair Lori Trahan.
00:09
Both of those members, and of course Vice Chair Ted Lieu, both of those members are on the Energy and Commerce Committee.
00:17
And as we all know, House Republicans are running scared this week because they plan to take away health care for millions of Americans
00:25
while rewarding billionaires with tax giveaways, and these members will speak specifically to that.
00:34
Most endangered members on the other side of the aisle have already voted to cut Medicaid by $880 billion,
00:42
and Speaker Johnson is scrambling now to give them cover.
00:46
And his most extreme members, by the way, those are the ones that he owes having the gavel to,
00:52
are going to revolt if Medicaid cuts aren't as harmful to working families as possible.
01:00
All of this is taking place against the backdrop of an economy that is in a free fall.
01:07
We're heading toward a recession, a supply chain crisis that will resort in more price hikes,
01:14
and all of this is because of Donald Trump's policies.
01:17
He lied to the American people when he said he'd lower costs on day one,
01:22
and he lied to them over the weekend when he said that he won't cut Medicaid.
01:27
Trump's lies are going to cost people their jobs, their livelihoods, potentially their homes,
01:32
and he could care less because his billionaire friends and family get rich.
01:38
House Republicans should use this time, this free week that they have,
01:42
to vote on policy that matters for everyday Americans.
01:46
But instead, they should be talking about turning off tariffs that are reckless and dangerous.
01:54
But instead, we're talking about Marjorie Taylor Greene's bill to rename the Gulf of Mexico.
02:00
A slap in the face to hardworking Americans who want their leaders to bring down the cost of living,
02:06
the cost that they face each and every day in child care, in health care, in gas, groceries, rent.
02:14
Those are things that the American public cares about,
02:16
and those are the things that House Republicans are ignoring each and every day.
02:21
With that, I turned it over to Vice Chair Ted Lieu.
