If you had to grade Trump's first 100 days, what grade would you give him? F. Would you expel him if you were the principal? He should be expelled. Get his ass out of there. I just went to the Trump rally, the 100-day celebration rally, and they all said A-plus. All right, I have a special video for you all. I'm currently at a political conference in Washington, D.C.,

where all of your favorite creators, all of your favorite politicians are in one place to talk about messaging and to talk about the future of the party. Talk about where we go from here and how to rebuild. So I had the amazing opportunity to sit down with House Minority Leader Hakeem. Jeffries. And we had a great chat about Trump, about his tariffs, about Social Security and Medicaid and Medicare. Without further ado, check out this chat. Make sure you drop a like, drop some blue hearts, and subscribe to help support my D.C. trips. And check it up. I'm joined today by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. How are you doing today, sir? Good. Good to see you.

Let's jump right in. So you've been talking a lot about Medicare and Medicaid lately. Can you summarize exactly how Republicans are playing this tricky game with the House Energy or House and Energy Commerce Committee and acting like they're not cutting Medicaid and Medicare, but they're clearly going for that, right? Absolutely. What they've proposed is the largest cut to Medicaid in American history. As you've indicated, they've charged the House Energy and Commerce Committee with finding up to $880 billion in cuts in the committee's jurisdiction.

It just so happens that Medicaid and health care is in the committee's jurisdiction. So everybody understands that the reality is, is, if they are trying to slash and burn $880 billion in connection with their reckless budget scheme, and they've given that number to the Energy and Commerce Committee, that means health care, that means Medicaid. It necessarily has to come from Medicaid, right? And this comes at a time when Trump is turning the economy into an unpredictable, insane mess. I've been talking a lot about the tariffs, and sometimes I get too caught up in relationships

with other countries, how do you message to average everyday Americans and tell them that entrepreneurs, business owners, are going to be affected by the unpredictability of these tariffs? Every single person in America is going to be impacted by this reckless trade war and by the unpredictability of these tariffs that Trump has launched. Tariffs will actually increase costs on everyday Americans thousands of dollars a year, and everyone's going to be impacted by it. The other problem is because of the uncertainty with the

tariffs, on again, off again, here one day, gone the next, and then they're back, different percentages at different points in time, all of it randomly thrown out there, creates uncertainty. And uncertainty is bad for small businesses. It's bad for entrepreneurs. It's bad for corporations. It freezes job creation, and it freezes investment, and it's going to trigger a recession. How are we going to build these manufacturing plants if nobody wants to invest into the U.S. because we're in such an unpredictable area. So I want to ask one final question. If you had to grade Trump's first 100 days,

what grade would you give him? F. Would you expel him if you were the principal? He should be expelled. Get his ass out of there. I just went to the Trump rally, the 100-day celebration rally, and they all said A-plus.

They all said, the one said A-plus-plus. I'm like, what are you guys celebrating here? Right. It's unbelievable. When you think about it, literally, he promised to lower costs on day one. Costs aren't going down. They're going up.

He ended the Ukraine war on day one, right? Supposedly. No, he didn't. That's right. But thank you so much for your time. I really appreciate it. Thank you for what you do. Yeah.

And have a great rest of your day. All right, thank you. Awesome.
