Fundamentally, that's why we were sent to Washington, D.C. We have to drive down the high cost of living. We have to secure the border. We have to keep communities safe. We have to protect our dreamers and farm workers and families. These are the things that matter.

Good evening. Great to be with you.

Well, I think we understand the passionate outcry that we are seeing all across the country as it relates to the flood of extremism that's being unleashed on the American people by this administration, by this president, by his allies like Elon Musk. And of course, it's creating chaos and confusion and crisis. And there's corruption that's connected to it as well.

And so we're going to continue to operate in an all hands on deck way. That's what we've said from the beginning.

It means that we've got to push back aggressively in the Congress, as we're doing, and certainly we'll have a budget fight that will be on the floor as early as tomorrow, where every single Democrat, I believe, is going to stand in firm opposition to this GOP tax scam, which is all about rewarding their billionaire donors and wealthy corporations and undermining working class Americans by sticking it

to them and cutting Medicaid and things that are important to their health, their safety and their economic well-being. It's all hands on deck in the Congress. It's all hands on deck in the courts. And it's certainly all hands on deck in communities across the country. And you are seeing that kind of mobilization take place, as you've illustrated.

Well, one of the things that's important is we have to tell the story of the everyday Americans who are at risk of dealing with the pain and the suffering that these extreme MAGA Republican proposals and cuts will unleash on them and the American people. If you just take, for instance, the proposal to cut as much as $1 trillion from Medicaid, if not more,

If you just take, for instance, the proposal to cut as much as $1 trillion from Medicaid, if not more,

in connection with the Republican budget resolution proposal, that's going to hurt children, hurt everyday Americans with disabilities. It's going to hurt seniors. It's going to close hospitals, including in rural America. It's going to shut down nursing homes. It's going to hurt veterans and others who rely on Medicaid benefits.

And so we've got to be able to tell that story, of course, with urgency, of course, on the floor of the House, certainly in committees. But we also have to take the case directly to the American people. And tomorrow at 12, that's exactly what we're going to do. Having stories told through the voices of those Americans impacted the most.
