at the end of the day, house democrats believe that urgent action is needed to drive down the high cost of living in the united states of america. and to protect medicaid from the devastation that house republicans are trying to bring to children, people with disabilities, and seniors in nursing homes and long-term care. house democrats have made clear we're going to protect and defend social security and medicare. we've also made clear that we will defend nutritional assistance to children, seniors, and veterans at a time when grocery prices are through the roof. yet house republicans want to take away nutritional assistance from everyday americans who they promised to help and are doing everything to hurt. reporter: [inaudible] mr. jeffries: every opportunity to be back home in the district is a welcome opportunity to engage with the people that we are privileged to represent. to make it clear, the house democrats are fighting hard to drive down the high cost of live, secure the border, while defending dreamers, farmworkers and families. and make sure that we are keeping our communities safe. at the same tim

eric adams is embrace of trump unites democrats against the new york city mayor. >> now the political timeline is happening here on top of all these other things, there is a june primary for what adams was hoping would be his second term. still is hoping would be a second term. and there is a race underway. uh, the people who are looking at this as democrats in new york city, one of the bluest cities in this country, cannot believe that there is any credible way for adams to survive here. what whether he resigns or doesn't resign, that's a separate question. whether he's removed by the governor. also a separate question. although those part of the swirl, to. but can this mayor with the situation that he's in with the corruption charges he faced with the the deal that seems to have been at least talked about, uh, according to a lot of people, uh, with the trump administration, with then the larger questions of can he manage the city under this cloud? is he going to win over democratic voters? it strains credulity to a lot of the people involved. and i will tell you that what they're sa

effort to shrink the federal workforce is indeed the executive order of the president of the united states. democrats have been protesting, reacting forcefully to everything that has been happening with regard to trying to cut some of the spending, $36 trillion in debt remember and now they are threatening that if this continues they will consider shutting down the government. watch. >> i am from jersey so i look a little differently. i say [bleep] trump. >> i don't swear in public very well but we have to [bleep] trump. >> what they meant to say.

democrats then . where are they? it's a good question. i think they're looking their own still. i think i have a feeling in united states right now. democrats aren't really trusted whole joe biden thing, people kind of can feeling of health problems and then the whole way. cala was sort of anointed without a real proper premier. i think that rubbed the lot of people who being to avoid any sort of abrupt democrats, the wrong way. and i think they're in the, in the wilderness right now. even though the kind of debating really lost by 2 points to be really get wiped out or was it a close call? it was. and so there there's, there's internal struggle going on. there's also the, the work side of the democratic party, the progressive side, are they gonna become lambs and be quiet and let the with the, the, the conservative wing of the democrats from the show again, where the democrats have a better chance winning. and for years, all these things are this debate is still has to happen to the democratic party. they haven't really got there yet. but what kind of a responsibility to the democrats have to shoulder for the si

the united states since the late 1940s, built the western. >> world as a free democratic alliance, determined to maintain its sovereignty, maintain its prosperity, maintain peace, and in many ways, to repel aggression from dictators. for the united states to be flipping and almost siding with the aggressive dictator against the democratically elected country that is a victim that is stunned, not just european leaders. it's stunned people all over the world. i heard gotten messages from asian leaders, from people all over the world wondering if the united states is not going to defend a liberal democratic state in europe, if it is not going to defend the, the, the, the threat that its european allies believe is the most vital threat they face, who is it going to defend? who is it going to support? can american guarantees be taken seriously? can american foreign policy be taken seriously? i think we're witnessing history right now in a very tragic way. >> well, and on that front, there's a real question of how these world leaders will will respond to this. i mean, we saw the british prime minis

democrats uniting in opposition to elon musk trying everything in their power to block the doge leader reform the federal government. senior congressional correspondent chad pergram is live on capitol hill. good morning, chad. >> good morning. democrats are relegated to the minority and struggling to figure out a line of attack which will stick against the gop. elon musk is now the democrats' top target alongside president trump. democrats are deploying heated rhetoric. >> elon musk is a nazi nepo baby, a godless, lawless billionaire, elon, this is the american people. this is not your trashy cyber truck that you can just dismantle, pick apart and sell the pieces of. >> pressley is a member of the squad. other democrats implored senate colleagues to lock up every nomination and slow things down. >> shut down the city. we are at war. any time a person can pay $250 million into a campaign and they be given access, full access to the department of treasury in the united states of america, we are at war! >> so far senate democrats are reluctant to slow walk most of president trump's nomine

as will house democrats in the united states congress. >> is there something that can be done in the more immediate moment? this bill seems to be either preemptive or preventative or a combination of those things. what could stop musk and this imposition of his perceived authority right now? >> what we are seeing unfold is an unlawful power grab by an unelected and unaccountable billionaire puppetmaster who is pulling the strings of house republicans and apparently, the trump administration. so it is an all hands on deck approach on behalf of hard-working american taxpayers. legislation, litigation, mobilization, communication with the american people, and that is what we are engaging in. and in fact on this particular issue, that is what you see occur. people have showed up at the department of --, we are moving litigation, we are speaking about threats to the american people presented by these extremists having access. think about this. to names, birth dates, social security, addresses, and bank account information. will and so this legislation is an important step in one of the ar

and so what we've got here is really a kind of a concern for the democrats here in the united states. okay, kimberly thank you so much for that reporting from washington dc. we'll speak to ben goodwin godwin, excuse me, who's a partner at prison strategic intelligence, that's an advisory firm. joining us from kyra. so what would you advise the ukrainians, as well as their european allies on, on what to do next? when it seems like you have a us president now who, or seemingly aligning himself with russia and the russian narrative, i think we've moved into a world of obsolete politics and how it all takes. and there's every possibility that the trump administration could change across. but i think europe in the ukrainians need to act on the basis that it was, i think web are very likely to move towards a deal where russia secure with most of its goals. and it's going to leave you up and ukraine extremely isolated. i think the ukrainians for that bar need to see what the bank they can offer the russians. but they also need to make sure that somehow that part of the tools and that's going

but here the headlines, there are the pictures and those are the democrats in the united states senate saying we don't care what the american people say, we're going to shut down the government. president trump is shrinking the size of government. we know that government is too big. we know it spends too much. president trump is accounting for every single penny. and we're not going to make pennies anymore as a result of the fact it costs three cents to make a penny. that's why democrats want to shut down the government. they don't like the success that america is having today. they don't like the optimism that is pervasive throughout our country. so once again, if there's going to be a shutdown, we're talking about a schumer shutdown of our country because they lost the election. mr. chair. >> mr. president, i come to the floor this afternoon to join a number of my colleagues because of my concern for the national security of the united states. whether it's the terror attack, a cyber attack, from nonstate actor, whether it's a threat from russia, china or iran, we in the united states

united states of america, we are at war! >> sean: we are at war? wow. most democrats didn't seem to care about americans in east palestine or the hurricane victims of hurricane helene in north carolina. they made excuses for california's government as fire hydrants and reservoirs ran dry and entire neighborhoods burned to the ground in l.a. they said nothing as millions of unvented harris biden illegal immigrants, including terrorist, cartel members, gang members all poured across the southern border. they didn't get that worked up. elon musk uncovers massive government waste, fraud, abuse and exposes billions and billions and billions of far left taxpayer-funded global piggy bank that they get their power from and they are ready to go to war? according to the left, elon musk is now anti-american with a threat to democracy. why? for holding america's elected bureaucracy accountable? take a look. >> we are witnessing a constitutional crisis. we talked about trump wanting to be a dictator on day one. and here we are. this is what the beginning of dictatorship looks like

like to point out, also, that in the history of social justice movements in the united states, and be very clear the democratic party should not be a billionaire-funded corrupt >> and in all the history of the great social justice movements of the united states know how many came from religious and spiritual sources. among white abolitionists they emerged from the evangelical churches of new hampshire. many of the became r women were religious quakers. dr. king was a baptist preacher. so, today we must ask for a purity of heart and for courage and for changes in our owning which will enable us to be the people we need to be in order to do the things we need to do now. from this point forward there will not only be a new chapter in democratic party, there must be an intention, an alignment here today that this will be a new chapter in the american story. we can begin today by purifying our own hearts of any childishness, of any exclusivity and any way ourselves know we are not standing up and rising up to the task at hand. i would like to finish by reading to you from the 1862 speech abraham lincoln to congress

obviously, since she served in the congress of the united states as a democrat, i and she may not agreeevery policy. however, representative gabbard made clear that she does not see her position as director of national intelligence as a policymaking decision. she understands that president trump is the one who was elected. as director of national intelligence, tulsi gabbard's job will be simply to make sure that the intelligence community is able to provide the best, unbiassed information to help president trump make the proper decisions. she and i also spoke about some of my past oversight work regarding the intelligence community. i have had mixed results in getting legitimate information that i have sought depending upon who was in that particular pos position. for instance, when granell make the director, i suddenly and surprisingly gotten material that i had asked for after being totally stonewalled by previous directors of national intelligence. based on my conversation, i expect tulsi gabbard along with cia director ratcliffe will ensure that the intelligence community will be fo

david: as we talk donald trump is about to be inaugurated again as president of the united states. as a democratic leader and a democratic governor of maryland, a very democratic state, do you feel like you are a leader of the opposition or that your job is to cooperate with him? how do you view donald trump, someone you work with or oppose? gov. moore: i'm not the leader of the resistance. i'm the governor of maryland. i've got 6.5 million people i answer to and some of them voted for donald trump and some did not vote for donald trump. what they all have in common is they are from maryland. the way i will approach working with this new administration is the way i would approach working with any administration. i understand how tethered maryland is to washington and the federal government. we have over 160,000 federal employees. we are the home of some of the largest federal installations in the country in the state of maryland. a lot of our infrastructure projects are being underwritten i the federal government, including the key bridge. i understand how important the relationship is and i am ve

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

united states. host: never president. guest: the democrats keep putting up women who are bad candidates. hillary clinton was one of the most detested figures in american public life and kamala harris was an extremely weak candidate. she was at a disadvantage because she never had a real primary. one time she ran in a primary she was out almost immediately, she was the first candidate out. nobody really wanted her. conservatives like plenty of women figures in politics. margaret thatcher is probably the clearest example. we have lots of great governors. plenty of strong women in the trump administration. the candidates the democrats put up, let's say as president trump says as some other country sending illegals here, the democrats are not sending their best. host: who you think will be the first republican woman president of the united states? guest: if you judge by the last election cycle nikki haley would like to do that. kristi noem might be eyeing that job. i think sarah sanders who was so prominent in the first trump administration, i think she has a real shot at it. it would probab
