Hakeem Jeffries just got banned from CNBC. Every time they interview Timu Obama, he refuses to answer any of their questions. He lies, he gaslights, he deflects. But today, one of the hosts finally had enough, hits her breaking point, and snaps. She humiliates Hakeem on live TV and gives him a tongue-lashing he will never forget. As always, like the video and subscribe to the channel. Walmart Obama has been having a terrible week.

0:30

So every like on this video will be us just doing our small part to make his week just a bit worse. Let's get into it.

0:37

House Democrats have launched a discharge petition to try to compel an up or down vote on a straight three year extension so we can provide working class Americans with the same level of certainty that my Republican colleagues provided their billionaire donors when passing the one big ugly bill.

0:56

Minority leader Jeffries, let's talk about that discharge petition. You need 218 votes in the House in order to pass that. You've got 214 members in the Democratic caucus. So you only need four House Republicans to have to sign onto it to get this passed. But the idea of saying that this is a three-year extension

1:16

instead of a one or even two-year extension has any potential Republican saying, forget it. This is dead on arrival. That's the opinion of Representative Don Bacon Bacon he's a Republican from Nebraska who has been working with the idea of potentially extending for two years but three years they say is dead on arrival so if this is something that you want to satiate if

1:36

you want to get done you are going to need at least some Republicans to come over why not start with a one-year extension or potentially even a two-year extension? Well, Lita Schumer offered a one-year extension in the context of trying to end the Trump-Republican shutdown. That's different. I'm talking about what you have now. Let's not go back to what's done in the past and what has not been extended. If you want to get something that it has actually done, you need to do something that will have bipart you can you can ask me the question you can ask me the question I'll provide the answer instead of the answer. No, no

2:08

CNBC is business news their audience are business people and investors who rightfully expect the house Minority leader to be able to answer direct questions with direct answers and the host is beyond Frustrated that every time Hakeem Jeffries comes on their show, he insults the intelligence of everybody there by dancing around every question and responding with a Democrat word salad littered with meaningless platitudes. The Democrats were just asking for a one-year Obamacare subsidy extension in exchange for

2:41

opening up the government. And since they got embarrassed by caving while getting nothing in return, now they're demanding three-year Obamacare subsidy extensions. Why three years, you might ask? Well, that way they're expiring going into the 2028 elections, and Democrats can use it as leverage by saying,

2:59

look, the big bad Republicans want your healthcare premiums to increase and extend subsidies permanently rather than having to address the underlying foundational problem, which is Obamacare is fundamentally broken. But let's get back to Hakeem defending his word salad and the host just continues to grill him.

3:19

I'm providing an answer in order to provide context. Republicans have repeatedly refused to take yes for an answer. It was a very reasonable multi-year extension that was offered. It was a one-year straight extension plus a multi-year process through a bipartisan commission to more permanently resolve the Affordable Care Act issue. So having that context is absolutely important, regardless of what you may think.

3:45

It's important context to make me realize that I don't think you want to get a deal done. I think this is something where you'd like to see the rates go higher and allow the Republicans to hang themselves with that. Is that the answer? Is this politics?

3:57

That's absolutely a ridiculous assertion. And really, shame on you for saying that. Because we're fighting, it's not a partisan issue for us. In fact, the states that are most impacted as it relates to an affordable CARE Act tax credit expiration are all Republican states. We're talking about West Virginia, Wyoming. Mississippi, right? Tennessee. I know. Over and over and over again we can go through the list.

4:25

That's why you probably have some Republicans who would sign on if you guys could come up with something that actually looks like a bipartisan deal.

4:31

Everybody smash the like button if you love that. She is cooking him. And did you notice she rolled her eyes in disbelief the moment he started talking like here we go again. And then as Hakeem is rattling off how red states will be more affected, she goes, I know, I know, because she's heard the exact same thing come out of his mouth for months now. Hakeem is like a toy with a string in the back that has six pre-programmed sayings.

4:57

You pull his back and he goes, Republicans have the presidency, the House, and the Senate. This is a Republican shutdown. The Democrats keep claiming they're trying to seek bipartisanship while having these extremely hyper-partisan stances. They held the government hostage to give free taxpayer-funded healthcare and transgender

5:16

surgeries to illegal aliens and then were mad when Republicans wouldn't meet them in the middle. And now they're refusing to be satisfied with a one-year extension of subsidies, which by the way, just a few weeks ago when they were holding the entire government hostage, they said was perfectly acceptable. But now they're demanding three years so they can use it as a political issue to run on in the future, while simultaneously being able to avoid the fact that their great lord and savior Barack Obama's magical health plan is extremely broken and caused health care costs in America to skyrocket. But it's really no surprise that the people who are willing to

5:52

starve Americans as political leverage are now willing to let health care premiums skyrocket too. But here's where the host calls out Hakeem's absurdity for demanding three-year extensions and calling Obamacare broken.

6:06

Which is why it would be nice to see a one-year extension so that none of these things happen immediately and give you all time to actually try and work on bipartisan situations, rather than a three-year extension that basically kicks it down until the next administration is here. I think both sides need to come together and find some way of getting around this that's not necessarily saying okay we're gonna spend 350 billion dollars to extend these tax credits without having any way

of trying to get at the real problems of what is causing higher premiums, what is causing this inflationary health care environment to begin with. Yeah what's

6:39

interesting is that Republicans just spent trillions of dollars to provide their billionaire donors with massive tax breaks. And in that same bill, cut Medicaid by the largest amount in the history of the country, and also ripped $186 billion in nutritional assistance away from hungry children, seniors and veterans, the largest cut to snap in American history.

7:00

But somehow we can't find a dime to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credit, even for I want to highlight one of the things Timu Obama said. The Republicans are spending trillions of dollars giving tax breaks. The only way you think letting people keep more of their money costs the government something is if you believe that the government is entitled and owns everybody's money. The government letting any of us keep any of our money costs them money if it's theirs. That is the fundamental view of Democrat politicians.

7:50

It's all their money, and anything they let us keep is them being gracious because they believe in an all-powerful government that is in complete control of everything, not the traditional American values belief that government should empower individuals to solve other problems for individuals.

8:08

And she called out the entire problem with Obamacare. If every year the government needs to spend more and more money subsidizing healthcare premiums from this program, it means something is fundamentally wrong with it. If the only way that it's affordable is if the government covers 90% of it, that's unsustainable and the only proof you need to realize why government shouldn't be in charge of running critically important industries.

8:34

It's the same exact thing that happened when the government got involved with college student loans. Everything the government touches becomes astronomically more expensive. But here's where she hits Hakeem Jeffries below the belt, mocking him and the Democrats for caving on the shutdown while getting absolutely nothing for it.

8:53

Do you think that, what do you think, do you think you were successful in shutting down the government? Do you think you got what you wanted?

9:01

We didn't shut the government down. Donald Trump and Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the presidency. And in fact, the American people prior to the shutdown, during the shutdown, and after the shutdown know who was responsible for the government shutting down. And in fact, in the midst of it all, Republicans refused to even sit down and have a conversation about keeping health care affordable for everyday Americans.

9:23

And so we're going to move past it. We have a Affordable Care Act tax credit expiration deadline that we need to tackle. We have a whole set of spending agreements that we need to find common ground on in advance of those agreements expiring in terms of the continuing resolution. By the end of January, we just need partnership on the other side of the aisle.

9:45

Aha! He said one of his pre-programmed slogans. But run that clip back and look at her face when Hakeem says that we didn't shut down the government. This lady is absolutely tired of Hakeem Jeffries. He thinks people are just going to obliviously nod along with him and pretend that they don't

10:01

understand the procedural rules of the filibuster. He thinks everyone exists in the same Trump deranged bubble as him and are perfectly willing to accept his gaslighting. I love how the other two hosts on the panel just sat back and let this lady cook Hakeem by herself. She clearly had a bone to pick with him and came prepared to deal with his non-answers by cutting through the minutiae and pointing out the glaringly obvious fact that the Democrats are playing politics because they're desperate for a win. But the last clip I'm going to show you is her clapping back at Hakeem's claim that it's the Republicans who are unwilling to engage in bipartisanship and it's actually Hakeem

10:42

and the Democrats who are unwilling to engage in good faith negotiations.

10:47

Now Republicans said in the House they were willing to deal with the Affordable Care Act tax credit issue after the government funding agreement was reached. Well, now the government shutdown is over and there's still been no conversations with House Republican leaders.

11:01

Mike Johnson never said that. The leader never said that. You do have Republicans, though, who would agree with you on something if it was actually bipartisan in nature. That's what I'm trying to get at.

11:10

Mike Johnson actually did say that there was always a plan to specifically deal with the expiration of the Affordable Care Act tax credits. In fact, he said that repeatedly.

11:21

So I'm not sure what you're referencing. I think their plan is something that looks more like an HCA, which I'm guessing you would say is dead on arrival too. If you want to set up these health care plans that are funded instead of going through the ACA. I'm assuming you would say that's dead on arrival too because there have been Republicans who put that forward.

11:38

Am I wrong in thinking you would not go along with that? What I'm saying is that what's in front of us is the immediate expiration of the Affordable Care Act tax credits. Republicans have had all year to deal with this issue and they've refused to do it.

11:50

I don't think Hakeem Jeffries is getting invited back on this show. The Democrats have it in their head that whether they're the minority or whether they're the majority, they get what they want all the time, always, because they are just so damn morally superior. They are just so enlightened and righteous that they float above the realm of hypocrisy. They claim they are fighting to preserve democracy by undermining the will and the agenda of the democratically elected president and congress. They believe they're our feudal lords who rule over us.

And elections are merely symbolic. They're a charade, like they are in North Korea. They think they're a way for us to pretend to be civically engaged. They're disenfranchising Republican voters in California, in Illinois, because they actually see elections as an inconvenience, if not even a threat.
