jeffries: good morning everyone. while house democrats are working to drive down the high cost of living in the united states of america, republicans continue to betray the middle class. last year, all we heard from house republicans was how they were going to drive down the high cost of living in the united states of america. housing costs are too high, grocery costs are too high. child care costs are too high. utility costs are too high. insurance costs are too high. america is undoubtedly too expensive. house democrats are committed to drive do you think the high cost of living. republicans haven't done a thing to address the cost of living crisis in the united states of america. not a single bill, not a single proposal, not a single idea. and the congress started on january 3. what are they waiting for? at this point in time. the reality is house republicans and donald trump and senate republicans have no interest in bringing down the high cost of living. costs aren't going down, they are going up. the price of e

jeffries: good morning everyone. day 19 of the new administration and we were told that republicans were prepared to lower the high cost of living for every day americans, but we have seen nothing, no action, no legislation, no ideas, no proposals, nothing to lower the high cost of living despite all of the focus and promises that have been made around lowering costs last year by my republican colleagues. house democrats will work with anyone in this town to improve the quality of life of every day americans. that's our focus. we want to get stuff done. we want to make life better for the american people. we want to drive down the high cost of living because america is too expensive. housing costs are too high. grocery costs are too high. insurance costs are too high. utility costs are too high. and child care costs are too high. america is too expensive. why can't my republican colleagues agree with that simple proposition and work with democrats to get something done? no ideas. no bills. no proposals. no executive

how about hakeem jeffries? joe, how about being the democratic leader of the house of representatives, the opposition party in the house of representatives against this president and against the first one ever to have to be the opposition leader, against the richest person in the world. >> i got to say to me, it sounds like the best job in the world right now because he's got this tiny, tiny, tiny majority of republicans against which he has arrayed the forces of a totally unified democratic caucus. he is in the best position in washington to give them maximum grief, and he's leading in such a way that he is calling on democrats in the house of representatives to essentially use their constituents as force multipliers. when he called on every democratic member of congress to go home and do constituent events and do roundtables and do town halls, starting today and if not today, later this week, and we will be keeping tabs on whether or not you do it, i thought, this is a man who understands how mad the whole co

leader jeffries has a 10-point plan to fight against the trump administration. there's going to be a legislative strategy, a mobilization strategy, and a litigation strategy. to that end, over 25 lawsuits have already been filed. we expect that a number of these actions by the trump administration will be reversed because all the courts have to do is follow the law. and in fact if you look at what happened, a number of trump actions have been stopped or the administration has simply folded. the administration wants to you think they are invincible, that they are just rolling right along to do all of these things. that is simply not true. a number of times they have been stopped and they have had to back down. for example, on the birth right citizenship order, a reagan-appointed federal judge declared it unconstitutional, put it an injunction on it. then with the o.m.b. freeze memo, there's pushback from democrats, from the american people, and they had to rescind that memo and a judge also declared that memo to be illegal. and then most recently you saw trump's

jeffries also encouraged democrats to unite. donald trump is not a king, and we will n never bend e knee. he said the administration is trying to disorient, discourage and disillusion the american people. while republicans pushed through an agenda that benefits only the wealthiest americans, they've done nothing to try to lower the high cost of living in the united states of america. no bill, no ideas, no initiatives. meanwhile, a new washington post poll shows just 43% of americans support the president's job so far. but he dismisses the concerns about the cuts without providing evidence. we've pulled it, and people are thrild. they can't even believe it's happening. jeffries said the president's new budget proposal could make it to the house floor by early next week. in oakland, thom jensen, nbc, bay area news. we're also following other headlines out of the nation's capitol tonight. a federal judge has temporarily blocked the trump administration from carrying out certain directives to crack down on diversity, equity and incl

house minority leader hakeem jeffries is in oakland tonight. he's giving a speech at the kaiser center for the arts. organizers say all 1500 seats in the theater are filled for the free event, which started at 7 p.m. but outside, several progressive groups held a protest. >> whose house? whose house? our house. >> jeffries was invited by the martin luther king, jr. freedom center and peralta community college. protesters say they're upset with jeffries, who became the house top, top house democrat in 2023. they accuse him of not fighting hard enough against president trump and his administration's actions, such as layoffs, funding cuts and executive orders on immigration. we will have much more on the minority leader's visit coming up tonight on the news at ten. a sunnyvale officer will not face criminal charges after shooting and killing a 19 year-old man experiencing a mental health crisis. the santa clara district attorney announced today that the officer acted lawfully. despite that decision, the teen's family is still pursuing legal action

hakeem jeffries. when we call january 6, perhaps pull up the clip, a day of infamy, which fdr used to explain the entire pacific fleet to the nation. by the way, mr. jeffries has no support in his own district, new york eight. he actually received fewer votes than the loser in new york 17. host: robert, he was just reelected in november. caller: let me explain. mr. jeffries was in the wall street journal a few days ago, trying to change the rules to fill the seat of miss stuff ionic. mind you, mr. jeffries should resign immediately, as he demonstrates a high level of intellectual dishonesty. host: that's robert in texas. back to the independent line. mark, jefferson, colorado. caller: good morning, america. i want everybody to think about this. as doge cruises through the computers of the united states, what is he doing in the veterans affairs computers? disabled veterans, why is he pulling our names, addresses, social security numbers, bank routing and account numbers? this is happening to everybody

leader jeffries has mentioned a few times that he invites three republicans to join you all. is that something you all are talking about inside the caucus? mr. aguilar: absolutely. each of us enjoys relationships based on our committees and based on when we came to congress. we came to congress 10 years ago with republicans, some of the reasonable partners on the other side of the aisle who i've worked with on things have moved on, retired and left this place. and that's unfortunate. but we will continue to have conversations, but what you highlighted is incredibly important. what republicans say in the hallways and in the elevators is often very different than what they're comfortable saying and doing in front of voting, to push back against donald trump. and so we will highlight time and time again that it only takes a couple. if you want to protect americans' data at the treasury department, join our efforts. if you want to ensure that essential cuts to education and the classroom are not implemented, join us. if you want to protect vital funding for people at nursing home

turn it over to leader jeffries. >> on topic questions. >> thank you, mr. leader. can you help me understand how this connects to the bill that you discussed with leader schumer the other day? is it the same? is it -- could they complement each other? can you just help me clarify how this bill connects to what you, -- >> yeah, it's our expectation that leader schumer and senate democrats will introduce a companion bill shortly. we believe that the unlawful access to sensitive and financial information for hardworking american taxpayers has to be stopped. 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 bac

democratic voters are gathering for a rally, calling on jeffries and other party leaders to take more action against the trump administration. our kevin ko is live outside the center where organizers say they're fed up with their own party right now. kevin? >> reporter: juliette, they say outraged and take a listen and a look for yourself. i just want to show you and be able to set the scene. you have hundreds of protesters out here. essentially all of them are democrats, angered at their own party, and right now we have a group of protesters with all these signs standing just outside of these chain link fences that are outside of the convention center, the auditorium where hakeem jeffries will be speaking tonight. i also spoke with milly cleveland who organized this. she lives in oakland. she's upset with the democratic party leadership because she doesn't think they're doing enough to counter the sweeping actions by the trump administration. >> the democrats need to fight as hard as the republicans fight. they need to be disruptive. they need to delay things and they need to be fier

not from house minority leader hakeem jeffries. the idea that democrats would concede defeat less than a month into trump's presidency is not just disheartening. it's also alarming. republicans currently have just a three vote edge over democrats in the house. that's one of the smallest majorities in us history. let's go back to 2010, when republicans were the ones in the minority. remember, they weaponized backlash against the affordable care act and embraced the tea party movement, ultimately leading the party to pick up 63 seats in the house in the midterms. it was so bad that then president obama famously said democrats took a shellacking. four years later, senate republicans successfully campaigned against obama, allowing the gop to take full control of congress. and let's not forget what the democratic party accomplished in 2018 after trump's first presidential victory, house democrats campaigned on the backlash to trump's first term and his efforts to repeal the affordable care act. they won back the house with the highest v

jeffries. how hard of a line that jeffries will draw in that fight. >> this is the clear leverage point that the democrats have, at least in the near future, is to try to extract something. and, you know, there have been plenty of questions that have been thrown to him at these press conferences and to his aides. et cetera. like, what are you honing in on? what are you focusing in on? and jeffries, maybe it's a negotiation tactic, it seems, basically keeps going back to, well, the republicans are in charge. they're the ones that say that they have this overwhelming mandate. >> they have votes to. >> exactly, exactly. particularly in the senate, where they need the republican or democratic buy in to overcome the filibuster. and it's not clear what exactly they want to extract. at least jeffries isn't showing his cards there yet. and he's known, of course, to operate very close to the vest. one of the things that i'm keeping an eye on is, what do they try to do to maybe counter musk or try to rei

stuart: hakeem jeffries revealed the democrats plan to take on trump. madison: the plan is to use the federal government deadline as leverage to prevent donald trump from freezing or diverting more congressionally appropriated funds. hakeem jeffries put out a letter and in it, any effort to seal taxpayer money from the american people must be choked off in the upcoming government funding bill if not sooner. republicans have a razor thin majority in the house. that is why jeffries and democrats believe speaker johnson will have to work with them to fund the government, that cooperation could open opportunities for them. jeffries is urging members to take the fight outside washington, go to your constituents and tell them what trump is doing and how it impacts them. stuart: thank you. back to the markets. thou is down 8 points. i will call that flat, the s&p is pretty flat as well. nice game for the nasdaq hitting 200 points which i want to show you pal and tear, boosting the nasdaq big time, it is up $23, 22%, daniel newman with me this morning, china is
