00:00Last question.
00:01The House report today includes language to block resolutions of inquiry until October.
00:06How does that hinder House Democrats' pushback against Trump?
00:10This is a pretty similar line that the Speaker and Republican leadership have taken.
00:18They have used rules to turn off our ability to fight back against dangerous tariffs.
00:23They are opposed to bipartisan solutions that would make our voices heard.
00:28To end these national emergencies that Donald Trump is using to raise prices for families in our districts.
00:37So this is a tool that the leadership has chosen to use and to put off future votes.
00:44Put off opportunities for us to work on a bipartisan basis.
00:49I'm not surprised by it.
00:50This is something that they have done and I would imagine will continue to do.
00:54Because they are afraid that both Democrats and Republicans oppose their dangerous and worthless policies.
01:02Thank you, Mike.
