0:00.0	I'm joined by Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, leader Jeffries. I got to ask you now that we're
0:05.4	100 days into this Trump presidency. How do you grade it? The only question to be asked is whether
0:12.8	Donald Trump should be given a D for disaster or an F for failure. I'm going to give him an F a complete and total failure. Or I'm going to give him an F for failure, I'm going to give them an F, a complete and total failure.
0:23.5	Or I'm going to give him an F for complete and total fraud. I mean, do you believe that he's
0:28.5	perpetrating a fraud right now on the American people when he says, look, just give me a little
0:33.5	more time. Tariffs are working so good. I'm going to eliminate all of your taxes because we're

1:20.1	and House Republicans spent all of last year on the campaign trail promising to lower costs on day one, to bring down inflation
1:30.5	and to make life more affordable. That was their central promise to the American people. They lied.
1:36.8	There was never any intention to do it. And we now see that costs aren't going down. They're
1:43.4	going up.
1:50.5	Tariffs are actually adding thousands of dollars of additional costs to hardworking American taxpayers.
1:52.2	They think that Social Security is a Ponzi scheme.
1:54.9	Actually, Social Security is not a Ponzi scheme.
1:57.8	The Trump administration has turned into a Ponzi scheme.
