00:00Good morning everybody.
00:02Good morning.
00:04Trump's first 100 days have been a complete and total disaster,
00:08and House Republicans own all of it.
00:12Instead of functioning as a check and balance on an out-of-control executive branch,
00:19which was the intentions of the framers of the Constitution, including James Madison,
00:25who said that Congress at its best should be a rival to the executive branch,
00:32House Republicans have functioned as a rubber stamp for Donald Trump's extreme agenda.
00:41Period. Full stop.
00:44That extreme agenda has done nothing to lower the high cost of living in the United States of America,
00:51notwithstanding all of the big, bold promises that Donald Trump and Republicans made on the campaign trail
00:59that they were going to make life more affordable for the American people.
01:03What has happened is that life is getting more expensive for the American people.
01:10Donald Trump and House Republicans are crashing the economy in real time,
01:14and they are driving us toward a painful Republican recession.
01:20The whole thing is a complete and total disgrace.
01:24And the American people are paying attention, they see it, they know it,
01:30and House Republicans are going to be held accountable for it.
