00:00Good morning. Good morning. Pleased to be joined with representatives Gray and Kennedy and Salinas
00:11here today. On behalf of the vice chair and I, we also are pleased to welcome the Los Angeles
00:19Dodgers to Washington, D.C. area. Look forward to catching a game this homestand. Donald Trump
00:28has imposed the largest tax increase in 50 years on every single American. Republican
00:35incompetence is crashing the economy with reckless tariffs and bleeding the accounts, the retirement
00:42accounts, of Americans dry. We're watching global recession take hold because of the boneheaded
00:49policies of one person, which will cause hardworking people to lose their jobs, potentially lose
00:56their homes and their health care. At the same time, Republicans in Congress are preparing
01:03to cut Medicaid $880 billion so they can give a massive tax cut to billionaires. They are telling
01:12us with a straight face that the economy, that the economic growth will pay for these tax breaks
01:20while the economy is in a tailspin. The truth is, passing the Republican budget would be a death
01:26blow to the American economy. And the people that get caught in the crossfire of this Republican
01:32recession will be hurt most by Medicaid as a tool that Republicans want to chip away at.
01:42Congress needs to take away the keys of economic policies like terrorists from this incompetent
01:48administration and restore some stability to the economy. House Democrats are going to continue
01:55to prioritize the economic needs of the American people by working to bring down costs, make health
02:01care more affordable, and look out for everyday Americans.
