where are house republicans? it only takes three to join us and we can move the taxpayer data protection act. i think we've been very clear in terms of the pushback that's taken place in the congress and we've been partnering with democratic attorney generals, unions, advocacy groups and democracy reform organizations as it relates to the litigation that has been filed that is successful to date in stopping the overreach and the unlawful, unconstitutional and unconscionable power grab being led by an out of touch, unaccountable and out of control billionaire puppet master. reporter: [indiscernible] mr. jeffries: 2028 is way off in the distance. house democrats are engaged in the hour by hour, day to day, week to week struggle on behalf of the american people. in the context of the first 100 days and beyond. there's a lot to like about stephen a. smith, including the fact that we are both die hard knicks fans. reporter: [indiscernible] mr. jeffries: i have not had the opportunity to speak with governor hochul abou

goals for affordable housing.ll put that as a motion and yeah, hear it from there. >> i'll second that motion. >> i second the motion and i would like to say as we are continuously widening the gap between our needs for affordable housing and these types of projects get us further and further away numerically that this could be a try to start doing it differently. that's still is conforming to state laws but it's done a little differently. >> commissioner ron i don't see any harm with giving more time for this to be explored. the the commission's interest in this is pretty clear in our desire to outcome. it's very clear as i said before, you know, if this comes back and nothing has changed i'm i think that the project i would likely have to reassess it at that time but i do have a question for for staff i do want to make sure we're not inadvertently de facto approving the project for some sort of timeline issue. again, under state law. so is there any maybe this is something that needs to be explored or to have a

house democrats won't stand for it. i want to yield to start by the esteemed ranking member of the house budget committee, brendan boyle, to discuss this further. mr. boyle: thank you to representative neguse and my other colleagues. minutes ago house republicans finally released their budget resolution, and i congratulate them on reaching a landmarked agreement among themselves, we think. but the reality is the details are exactly as we feared and expected. it is a republican betrayal of the middle class. we just waged a whole long presidential campaign in 2024. what was the top issue? the top issue here in the united states was the same as most western democracies. the fact that costs had gotten so high coming out of the post pandemic era. the inflation crisis has hurt families in america and indeed worldwide. that is what republicans and donald trump talked about during the campaign. so what's in their budget? nothing to bring costs down. absolutely nothing. but what they do have is $4.5 trillion in more debt. this i

and senior housing.but there remains a great need for more operating and rental subsidies to reach our lowest income populations. with all that said, there is some good news of 662 oci funded affordable units under construction during the fiscal year 23 and 24 419 are at 50% ami and below of those 135 are at 30% army and below and 176 have an operating or rental subsidy. >> we were able to secure rare project based section eight vouchers for our two shipyard phase one projects that are finishing up construction in just the next few months. >> before i go on to our 2324 data, i'm going to provide a brief and i'm going to try to make it briefer summary of how we fund our affordable housing in the current funding environment. most of our projects are funded by a combination of tax exempt bonds allocated by the california debt limit allocation committee or sedlak in the low income housing tax credits allocated by the california tax credit allocation committee or sedlak. we also tap into other state sources w

[video clip] >> republicans control the house senate and white house. if they want to keep government open they should keep government open. we are working with them. the chairwoman will lead our efforts to negotiate and work through issues just like we have for many years through multiple congresses. that is our plan, that has always been our plan. if republicans need votes they can come to us and we are happy to negotiate. there is -- and i said this last week. there is very little appetite to help republicans when we do not trust that donald trump is going to spend the resources we have allocated for education, for health care, even for our defense. with elon musk and his unelected friends running through and combing through the federal system, we do not have those assurances. these are not advisory bills, this is not advisory spending. this is the full weight of law as described by the constitution. we are standing up for the constitution and our article one responsibilities. host: the representative saying there is very little appetite to help repu

and we know here in the house unfortunately that the house republican leadership has demonstrated no interest in reining in this out of control behavior. here in the house, all it takes are 3 republicans to join with us to protect the american people. >> leader jeffries, in addition to this bill, what do you see as the options that democrats have to push back on elon musk's efforts and doge's? >> we will continue to use the congressional arena. as well as the litigation arena. and the mobilization arena to push back against the far right extremism that we are seeing across the board from this administration and from house republicans. we will introduce legislation. we will move that legislation aggressively. we will work through the court system and we will continue to communicate to the american people about what's happening, why it's happening, and why the promises that were made by republicans to lower the high cost of living aren't being kept. this is day 18 of this new administration. not a single bill, not a single idea, not a single initiative to lower the high cost of living.

we leave it to take you over to capitol hill where the house is gaveling in. live coverage here on c-span. the speaker pro tempore: the house will be in order. the prayer will be offered by chaplain kibben. chaplain kibben: would you pray with me. holy and most wise god we seek your wisdom. wisdom to meet the challenges of this day, wisdom to discern what is the direction you with would have us go, wisdom to determine what is the truth you wish us both to hear and speak. how does a person become as wise as this? the first step you have said is to trust and honor you, o lord. so we take our first step today before any legislative matters are brought forth, before our committees are convened, and in advance of any votes brought to the floor to show our reverence for you, o lord. may we also trust that you will equip us, you will wide us, and will you speak to us with the sufficiency of your wisdom for the living of this day. believing in you and leaning on the strength of your name we pray. amen. the speaker pro tempore: the chair has examined the journal of the

we, house democrats, are the commonsense caucus. instead of working with democrats in a commonsense way to actually find bipartisan agreement in 2017 around so-called tax reform, they decided to jam the g.o.p. tax scam down the throats of the american people. and set up a situation where 83% of the benefits would go to the wealthiest 1% of the american and every single democrat said we can't support that because that's not in the best interest of the american people. understand, if you go back to 2017 which your question relates to, there was a conversation about lowering the corporate tax rate to make sure america could be more competitive. and corporate tax rate, as i recall, was at 33%. 33%. and the obama administration's budgets had indicated that we would be prepared to drop the corporate tax rate to 28%. that was a democratic position. the far right republicans were saying, we want to drop it to 20% or 21%. the c.e.o.'s of america said if you could lower it to 24%, 25%, that would put american companies in a competitive positi

speaker, the house is on fire. the house is on fire. there is nothing legal or constitutional that is going on. we have unelected billionaires running the country. we have a president who is pardoning violent criminals, and i suppose if they ignore the court orders, he'll just have this daily list of people that he'll pardon. so they can continue. mr. speaker, the house is on fire. the insurrection is continuing. and it's affecting you. whether you are a head start child out there that needs it, whether you are a senior in a nursing home who will get inadequate care, are you going to be laying in your feces for 10 hours because they are cutting medicaid, whether are you a farmer who has not gotten your usda funding, the house is on fire. .. whether you're a social security recipient and they've gone in and created a back door to your data, they know your bank account number, the house is on fire, y'all. we need to stop acting like things are normal. it is not normal. and i yield back to the gentleman. mr. casten: thank you to my friend,

housing costs are too high. grocery costs are too high insurance costs are too high. utility costs are too high, and childcare costs are too high. american is too expensive. why can't my republican colleagues agree with that simple proposition and work with the democrats to get something done? no ideas, no bills, no proposals, no executive orders, nothing. from republicans. but chaos in cronyism. how is it that lowering the high cost of living for everyday americans? it's not. it's day 19 and we are still waiting. questions. >> we expect sometime the week in baby monday republicans released their taxes and government spending cut plan here. will democrats -- out of hand and can you elaborate what your concerns are if you start to metal around the edges, and how the programs? by the same token, tax cuts in there, they would argue is something that would lower cost for people. >> we had been waiting for this so-called budget proposal for weeks. when is it coming? and what's the problem? what's the problem? we have been lectured for months by republicans that they have a

housing. and there's a reason for that. and that is that you think if two people have the same income, they're living at the same level. that's not true if you're a disabled veteran. because you have the additional difficulties and the additional expenses of being disabled. you may have to pay for a health aide, you can't get across town to take advantage of a sale, you're going to have a variety of additional costs because you're disabled. and that's what your disability benefit pays for. those additional costs. it doesn't necessarily mean that you have a standard of living that includes your disability payment. today we deal with congresswoman de la cruz's or now we deal with congresswoman de la cruz's bill which i strongly support. and i hope will pass unanimously in the next few minutes. this deals with the h.u.d. community development block grant program. as i said, my legislation, which will come up hopefully not too long from now, that deals with a different h.u.d. program. and i urge e

housing supply.the end of the day reconciliation is going to go a different track, but everything else, given the fact we only have 53 republicans in the senate will require bipartisan solutions. moving forward i'm confident we can really put our fingerprint on this 119th congress with donald trump's big win and a majority in the house, there will be issues that require senate democrats adam venit to accomplish the mission and run our government. host: where are you on the budget process? are you in favor of speaker johnson's plan to put everything in one bill, or do you lean more toward the senate ill and breaking it up into two pieces? guest: i very much agree with speaker johnson. this should be one bill. there is a lot of complicated legislation that will be in this. everybody needs to be in the same boat. it has been difficult in the past to unify our conference and the only way to get across the finish line is to put everything in one bill, let the senate have it, and then get this done by east

republicans control the. >> house. >> the senate and the white house.rnment open, they should keep government open. >> the hill reports a growing number of democratic lawmakers think the march 14th deadline for funding the government gives them the best leverage to pressure president trump and elon musk to back off their plans to pick apart agencies. joining us now, congressional reporter for punchbowl news, mika. zollner. mika, start just first with with where we are between graham and johnson. who do you think ends up winning in this battle? >> yeah. >> so we have. >> seen this play out. >> for quite some time. >> now. >> between the senate. >> wanting a two bill strategy to move forward on the reconciliation. >> process, which is. >> going to start. >> implementing donald. >> trump's agenda quickly, and the house's one bill version. obviously, we heard that both of them would. >> prefer one. >> big. >> beautiful bill. but the senate is really looking at the reality of what's happening here. and i think right now they do have a little bit of advantage

and it was a modest house, you know, but it was a nice house. we i grew up in it and that, you know, the housing wasn't it wasn't something that was the object of speculation. well, you know, after the deregulation or large deregulation, the banks crash the economy in 2008, combined with trump university and a number of other schools, are basically running these classes. maybe you remember these from the early 2000, the first decade of the 2000, where they were saying middle class people, you can get rich, here's how you do it. you take the equity in your house, you borrow against it, you buy second house, you turn that into a rental property. then you take the equity in that house and you borrow them. you buy a third house and and turn it into a rental property. you become basically a landlord and you can get really wealthy because houses do appreciate faster than and plus you know, you can pay for the property and upkeep and everything with a rent and and you know, this is this is what you know, this was the pitch and this was the essence of t

up the price of housing. to combat this, we are taking action. a few weeks ago, i helped maria contrary us move into her new home. maria is a widow and a hard-working mom of four kids. as a medication technician, she helps keep our seniors healthy. after renting for eight years, maria was finally able to buy a home thanks to down payment assistance from our arizona is home program. [applause] she now has a place of her own, a place to hang a photo of her beloved children and a place to one day passed down to them. maria's story signifies the perseverance of so many eras -- so many arizonans who work hard and saved for years but for many, homeownership remains out of reach. we owe it to them to create more opportunities to find a home, >> during my time as governor, we lowered costs by cutting government red tape and making historic investments in affordable housing programs. but make no mistake, we must do more. first, we must extend the state low income housing tax credit. this program has enabled the develo

house republicans kept our promise. we passed a bill, i know it's hard to believe we had to pass this bill, but we passed a bill to prevents biological males from freely walking into girls locker rooms. it's ridiculous that we had to do it, but here we are. democrats would rather allow men to compete in girls sports than protect our little girls. they are truly out of touch with reality. for those that support this insanity, you are allowed to live in your distorted reality, but that doesn't mean i have to live in your distorted reality. and our girls don't need to live in your distorted reality, either. we fought for 50 years for women's rights. now democrats want to undo it. i can assure you that will not happen under my watch. house republicans are committed to putting a stop to this madness. we are the party of common sense. the difference between the democrats and the republicans is that our agenda is about opportunities, about freedom, and about putting america first. while their agenda is about control, dependenc

this is a win for the white house. i think not just people within the white house were becoming really frustrated with all of these injunctions put on what they call trump's america first agenda. but certainly people outside of the white house, the maga movement, really pushing the white house to kind of defy some of these court orders. and so i think that this is going to be a really welcomed reprieve from or for the people at the white house who felt that the courts were kind of abusing their power, overreaching when pausing or at least, uh, you know, kind of stopping some of these things like the federal freezes like this buyout program, like some of the other initiatives that trump has tried to push in the first three weeks in office. >> shermichael singleton is with us as well. shermichael. trump has repeatedly, as all of us know, attacked judges who have ruled against him. but does this this ruling show he should back off from that kind of talk? >> well, look. >> wolf, the. >> president stated i believe yesterday

every day in the trump white house, but did happen every day in the biden white house.y asked questions about elon musk's possible conflict of interest, but no one in the white house press corps asked a question about elon musk literally snatching food away from starving babies. there has not been one question asked in the white house by anyone in the white house press corps, to the white house press secretary or to donald trump about elon musk's decision, supported by donald trump, to take food away from starving babies, from starving mothers, from starving grandparents. in sudan, where the united states agency for international development was saving lives every day by getting food to people in the middle of a famine. elon musk's conflicts of interest, though, of course, are not as important as the people that he is actually killing in africa this week. and that is what he's doing. that is what's happening. you heard doctor atul gawande, former usaid official, on this program monday night, saying lives have already been lost. people have already died because of what e

the white house has denied that reporting. the president has shrugged it off, but clearly that is not the case. given this move to replace top leadership at immigration and customs enforcement. >> and lisa, for those keeping track at home, the trump administration is now facing more than 50 lawsuits for some of these actions that we're seeing. and in fact, judges have paused, halted or reversed at least nine trump policies. here's how the president reacted yesterday. >> and it seems hard to believe that judges want to try and stop us from looking for corruption. and it seems hard to believe that a judge could say, we don't want you to do that well. so maybe we have to look at the judges, because that's a very serious i think it's a very serious violation. i always abide by the courts, always abide by them, and will appeal. >> i always abide by the courts will appeal. so criticizing the judges for. >> reaction. >> i am somewhat comforted that the president is saying that i will always abide by the courts. certainly the american

i want to get to the housing. so we've talked a lot about short medium solutions on the food and security aspect of it. the last is about the housing itself. i know a lot of this will depend on things that we hear or we haven't had discussions yet with the developer but can someone from planning or comment on should housing proceed? what would be the steps involve moved from now to going forward that we have to be mindful of in terms of a timeline? >> so if there were a housing proposal submitted for the site that would be reviewed by the planning department first housing is a principally permitted use on the site. there's not a density limit and so we would look for the developer to propose something which the department would respond ensure that it complies with the city's code. typically developers will do community outreach and work with your office and others in the community either prior to or during the review and submittal of that proposal. then once it is approved which depending on the scope of the propo

if clay will work in the house to win him that house election and so win the house election takes place on adams wins a lot of jack soni and supporters like to that meeting and then they called a corrupt bargain. they point to that meeting as changing election from jackson, who in their viewpoint was clearly the choice of the people to adams becoming president, which was a subversion of democracy and in their viewpoint. and so that becomes the major to really for the 1828 campaign from the jackson perspective, is this corrupt bargain stolen the election from the people it stole the election from jackson. and so part of what 1828 is about is trying to reestablish the will of the people by electing over adams, who his opponent again in 1828 and the result in 1828. andrew jackson 178. electoral. 600,000 popular votes 56%. john quincy 83 electoral votes. 501,000 votes in the popular election. that's quite a change from the year four years before, wasn't it? yes. and one of the things people don't realize is that prior to 28, a lot of states restricted, who could vote. of course, women and a

is in the house. it really seemed like joe biden with not push back on the left at all and felt like bernie sanders was running his economic policy and my question is how can democrats, it seemed like obama did this more, push back on the left than sort of staying moderate because i feel a lot of people were turned off by some of joe biden's policies. >>it's interesting you have that perception because i have heard the same question in reverse. i have literally had progressive friends of mine say, you know, it really seemed like wall street was running his policies and why wasn't he more populist or aggressive and had it said to me including one particular good friend of mine in my district. so i think some of that is the perception of the person asking the question and where they're coming from. but it does speak to a larger issue and that is any time you're in the majority it is challenging to keep everyone within your tent rowing in the same direction and on the same side. as time goes on, we'll se

we have to look at these housing and urban development programs and make sure we are prioritizing housing supply. we have to look at this home insurance crisis we have right now. some people are paying more in their premium with their property tax than they are on their principal and interest. jd vance said recently at an event in florida that the number one issue he hears about from adults ages 20 to 30 is their inability to get into a home. -- [captioning performed by the national captioning institute, which is responsible for its caption content and accuracy. visit ncicap.org] [captions copyright national cable satellite corp. 2025] karoline: good afternoon, everybody. it's great to see all of you. on this very newsy day, to say the least. i have a couple of updates for you this morning or this afternoon. as you know, this morning the president spoke to president putin of russia. they spoke at length and the president released a statement following that conversation in great detail. i can also confirm that the president just recently got off the phone with president zelenskyy of ukrain

the the american people elected the house and the senate, the house and senate also have oversight committees, inspector generals were at all of these agencies. they have been fired. so it's not like no one has been watching these. i mean, the government is set up with many structures to watch. spending. this is a whole different thing that we've never seen before. he's the richest man in the world. he's unelected and he's clearly unrestrained in terms of what the president wants him to do. that was so clear. the president has ordered him to do this, and they're both enjoying it immensely. >> yeah. and a great point you make there, jeff, because shortly after that happened, speaking of transparency and being fine with criticism, the inspector general for usaid was was fired one day after issuing a report that was critical of the efforts. the doge is undertaking. and elliott, on that front, i mean, that has been the question here of of what this oversight is going to look like, because an inspector general is supposed to be a nonpolitical watchdog, nonpartisan that can kind of speak truth to p

it is a privilege to cover this white house. it is a pillage to be the white house press secretary. and nobody has the right to go into the oval office and ask a president of the united states questions, that is an invitation that is given. and their hundreds of outlets on this campus peered many of you in this room who don't have the privilege of being part of that pool every single day and getting to ask the president questions peered we reserve the right to decide who gets to go into the oval office, and you ae credentials to be here including the associated press was in this briefing room today. >> reporter: but isn't it retaliatory in nature, is the argument because the reason the ap was barred was because they are not using the phrase go for america, they are using golf of mexico in line with their standards. the white house will retaliate against reporters who don't use the language you guys believe reporters should use and how does that align with the first amendment commitment. >> secretary leavitt: i was upfront on day one if we feel their allies being pushed by all that's

joining me now is veteran housing expert henry pryor.o with interest rates? well, it seems that we can't stop the rolling ball for the uk housing market. we have some events to deal with going forwards, but by and large expectations remain reasonably positive for the housing market, if you already own a home and therefore rising house prices are something that you celebrate. still a great struggle for those trying to get on the market, but house prices as indicated by the halifax today remain on an upward trend and we are expecting borrowing rates from mortgage borrowers there is definitely a highlight on the stamp third consecutive win when they face the enough to justify big budget, superstar—filled bespoke adverts that will be played once only. the stakes are much higher. the scale is much bigger. it very seriously. of telling the world that hellmann's makes a better sandwich. about what are the most iconic sandwich scenes scene in harry met sally. it is arguably one of the few times when people really people might be skipping pre—rol

the white house press briefing. you can see the white house press corps is gathered there as we're waiting for the press secretary to come out. alex marquardt back here with us. and no doubt there are going to be a lot of questions about the conversation trump had with putin about what is happening right now, as they are kind of i think the white house, the administration, alex, trying to spin this as belarus, russia, just sort of respecting the position that president trump is taking. there's going to be a lot of questions about what has happened today, what belarus may have gotten in all of this, and what is certainly good news that americans are being released. >> i think we really need to look at belarus as an extension of russia here. and that president lukashenko is doing this because president putin almost certainly asked him to. the u.s. also exchanged a prisoner. we should note a guy named alexander vinnik, a russian who was extradited here to the united states a few years ago. he is a convicted money laund
