00:00Brzezinski and Scarborough discuss shutdown.
00:03There it was, the usually smug and synchronized duo of Morning Joe
00:07turning into an emotionally combustible mess faster than Joe Biden can forget a name.
00:12Nope, this time the drama was real and spectacular.
00:16Well, let's just say Mr. I used to be a Republican.
00:19Scarborough decided, out of nowhere, to channel his inner gladiator
00:23and swing at his wife's woke word salad right there in front of the cameras.
00:28Apparently, it was Mika doing what Mika does best,
00:31blaming everyone but the Democrats for the mess the country's in.
00:34She was on a tear, wailing about Republicans lying in the coarseness of political discourse,
00:40as if her own network hasn't been ground zero for hot takes,
00:43half-truths, and full-blown meltdowns for the last, oh, seven years.
00:47He pushed back.
00:49They're supposed to fight back, he practically yelled, looking one part exasperated,
00:53one part like he realized halfway through the rant that he was, in fact, contradicting his entire brand.
01:00And then came Mika's death stare, like she'd just been served gluten at brunch.
01:05And lie as well?
01:07Like what, exactly?
01:08She snapped, with the tone of someone about to start googling divorce lawyers.
01:13You've got to love the irony.
01:14It wasn't a heroic stand.
01:16It was messy, defensive, and loud.
01:19But boy, was it revealing.
01:21This was the mask slipping.
01:23Scarborough, of all people, realized that even on his best days,
01:27he can't polish the Dems' current dumpster fire into anything remotely electable.
01:32The economy's a mess, the border's a joke,
01:34and now we're shutting down the government to pay for illegal immigrants' health care?
01:38That's the winning strategy?
01:40Really?
01:41She looked like a deer caught in the headlights of reality.
01:44Because, let's face it,
01:46defending the indefensible is a full-time job at MSNBC,
01:49and Mika's been putting in overtime.
01:52Scarborough cracked.
01:53And right now, the Democrats are out of ideas,
01:56out of credibility,
01:57and, judging by this little episode,
01:59out of unity.
02:01For the rest of us,
02:02it's like watching the Titanic argue over who hit the iceberg while the ship sinks.
02:07Calling it a spirited debate doesn't hide the meltdown.
02:11The facade is falling apart.
02:13This isn't merely bad morning TV.
02:15If this is before 9 a.m.,
02:18imagine the chaos at MSNBC the rest of the day.
02:22The left is eating itself,
02:23on camera.
