I just talked to an employee at the VA and he's very concerned. Many of his employees are just sitting in a conference room waiting whether or not they're going to get fired. And this is not just happening at the VA locally in Cleveland. It's happening at HUD. It's happening at DFAS. It's happening at our local EPA affiliate. And these are good paying jobs in our city.
And because of all the uncertainty that we've seen with these cuts led by Elon Musk and Doge, we launched just yesterday a rapid response hub for federal workers living in Cleveland and across Chicago County to make sure they can get job training, resume help. and a pathway to another job if their job goes away. And there's a way to do this.
Democrats all across this country, especially Democratic mayors, we believe in good government. We believe in efficiency. And we've been here before. Under President Clinton and Vice President Gore, there was a focused strategy to cut unemployment.
fraud and waste out of the federal government and they worked with a republican speaker of the house a new gingrich to not only you know make the government more efficient but they balance the budget so we know how to do this uh but it's important that we bring some common sense back to washington in terms of how we manage the federal government look under former president biden
Yeah. You know, it's so frustrating now to hear all these, um, uninformed anecdotes that Democratic-led cities are failing. And look, do we have some major challenges in big cities across this country? Absolutely. But in cities like Cleveland, Atlanta, Detroit, Nashville, Tulsa, we're seeing real gains. Right here in Cleveland, just today, we're going to house our 150th resident who
who had been living on the street in an encampment, or we're gonna essentially have functional zero homelessness in Cleveland because of the work we've done to get government out the way, to make sure there's nobody in our city living in a tent. We're making big strides, not only in Cleveland, but across the country around violent crime.
In Cleveland, we worked with our police union leadership to reduce violent crime by 26 percent by investing in the police. And that's the same story you're seeing in big cities and medium sized cities all across this country led by. by Democratic mayors. And so under President Biden, we had a president who believed in investing in cities like Cleveland. He was a great partner to us.
And I just want to implore President Trump to work with mayors on these issues. Immigration, case in point, now is the time to not only secure the border, but make sure we work with this Republican-led Congress to pass common sense immigration reform. And mayors, especially Democratic mayors, have been delivering every single day.
Yeah, I mean, we have a great group of mayors in Ohio. The mayor of Springfield, Mayor Rue, he had just recently got elected when all that nonsense went down last year during the presidential election. And he's a Republican, a common sense Republican. And thankfully, we banded together as mayors and supported our Republican governor, Governor DeWine, to support
Springfield, who was getting attacked with major bomb threats to the mayor and that community. That's not how we lead in Ohio. And that should not be how we lead in this country. And you mentioned that the president's speech on Tuesday, he talked for almost two hours, the longest address to Congress, I think, in American history, but spent less than five minutes talking about the economy.
And now every day there's a new policy around tariffs. And look, I'm all for making sure we hold our trade partners abroad accountable. accountable to ensure we're protecting American workers, protecting American industry. But this is not the way to yield our influence abroad. The economy right now is certainly going to be faced with a recession.
You saw the Fed in Atlanta came out with a report earlier this week that's predicting a nearly negative three percent decline. in GDP. I have employers in Cleveland who are concerned about hiring and investment. And it's our economy right now is fragile. And so, again, we can't afford chaos in economic policy. We can't afford chaos in immigration policy.
And mayors are seeing this every single day.
Yeah. Well, my message is simple. As the old saying goes, there's no Democratic way to create a job and no Republican way to fix a pothole. And America's mayors, especially America's Democratic mayors, are delivering every damn day.
from addressing our issues around violent crime and public safety, to making sure we have an economy that works for the middle class and working class, but also to make sure we uplift the values we hold dear in this country, the values of safety, the values of security, the values of freedom, and the values of choice. And so continue to fight for those values, support your mayors.
And now more than ever, it's important for the Democratic Party to make the case and articulate our alternative vision for this country. And our mayors have the right ingredient to making that vision a reality.
Play this clip. There are obviously conversations ongoing right now with the U.S. administration. But as I've said a number of times, we will not be backing down from our response tariffs until such a time as the unjustified American tariffs on Canadian goods. are lifted.
Er hat gesagt, er möchte einen totalen Verlust der kanadischen Wirtschaft sehen. Denn das würde es einfacher machen, uns anzunehmen, ist die zweite Hälfte seines Erachtens. Nun, erstens wird das nie passieren. Wir werden nie das 51. Staat sein. Aber ja, er kann die kanadische Wirtschaft schaden. Und er hat heute Morgen angefangen.
Aber er wird schnell herausfinden, wie die amerikanischen Familien herausfinden werden, dass das Menschen auf beiden Seiten der Grenze schaden wird. Amerikaner werden Jobs verlieren. Americans will be paying more for groceries.
We're not angry at the American people for this. We don't have anything against Americans. Americans are our neighbors, our friends, our partners. We do things together. We've done things together for decades and generations. This is a policy decision by the American government designed to go after the Canadian economy. This is a trade war, yes. But Canadians... Canadians are hurt.
