00:00Hakeem Jeffries spars with Joe Kernan during CNBC interview.

00:05House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries went on CNBC to argue Democrats aren't to blame for the government shutdown,

00:11but his talking points unraveled under host Joe Kernan.

00:14What followed was the political version of backing into a corner as Kernan calmly tested Jeffries' logic.

00:20Kernan, hardly a fire-breathing partisan, pressed while Jeffries tried to claim the shutdown as the GOP's fault.

00:26Jeffries arrived with the usual Democratic toolkit and talk of bipartisanship.

00:31There was an election, Kernan says.

00:33Republicans were put in a position to pass the big, beautiful bill.

00:37Now Democrats don't like it, so you're shutting the government down until Republicans undo what was lawfully passed?

00:43Cue the awkward silence.

00:45Kernan flipped the scenario, and you could almost hear the internal panic clock ticking.

00:50If Republicans had fought to undo the Inflation Reduction Act or a Joe Biden stimulus package

00:55and frozen pay for troops and services, the media would run End of Democracy Day 7.

01:01But when Democrats try to undo duly passed legislation, it's rebranded as Standing Strong.

01:07Jeffries pivots and blames Republicans.

01:09Kernan interrupts.

01:10How could they do that?

01:12He offers word salad about cruelty, bipartisanship, and a health care crisis,

01:16but never denies Democrats won't budge unless Republicans strip out House-passed provisions.

01:22The demanded negotiation sounds like this.

01:24Give us everything we want, and then we'll talk.

01:28That's not compromise.

01:29That's extortion with a side of moral lecturing.

01:32Here's what's infuriating.

01:34Jeffries and his allies are still drawing paychecks.

01:36While military families and small business contractors worry about lost income,

01:41capital politicians keep cashing in and grandstanding on TV.

01:45The shutdown is a calculated maneuver to nullify Republican wins with political blackmail,

01:50followed by cable hits and cries of cruelty.

01:53There's a reason public trust in Congress is in the basement.

01:57And if this is the strategy Democrats are going with,

01:59they better hope voters aren't watching these interviews.

02:02Because when even CNBC is poking holes in your narrative,

02:06the spin cycle's officially broken.

02:08If this means one Fakechan María,

02:10thanks to the strategy you've been 21 Porno.

02:11If this is part of a fair life and not knowing the same story,

02:13you'd actually keep picking up antibodies.

02:14If this is the strategy

02:30of Unless we do a court,

02:31one would make a short model.

02:31There's some people in town,

02:32one would make a Espirito.
