24:03Aguilar says Democratic members are expected to attend votes on government funding and defense legislation.

Placards reading "AFFORDABILITY" and "ACCOUNTABILITY" frame the House Democrats' briefing, but a reporter's impeachment question brings out an important distinction: a shared agenda does not mean instructions on every vote.

Pete Aguilar says leadership will leave members to decide on the impeachment resolution before them. "It's not being whipped. Members are going to have to make their own decisions based on the articles of impeachment," he says. That is a statement about this resolution, not a blanket rejection of impeachment.

The Financial Express's upload, carrying footage credited to Reuters, reached about 378,000 views in 19 hours, far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for regular videos.

Aguilar opens with a concise statement of the caucus's priorities: "Our agenda is focused on three priorities: lowering costs, protecting healthcare, and rooting out corruption." Ted Lieu and Suzan DelBene join him to discuss the election results and preparations for the incoming Congress.

The questions turn those broad promises into more specific positions. Lieu says Democrats plan hearings and legislation establishing guardrails for artificial intelligence. Aguilar supports a legislative ban on mid-decade redistricting, while saying Democrats will keep legal and defensive options available unless such a ban becomes law.

Leadership questions also run through the briefing. Aguilar reiterates support for Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker, and the final exchange returns to a basic expectation of Democratic members: being present to vote on government funding and defense legislation.
