00:00Tonight's show will be brought to you by...
00:03I can't f***ing believe it!
00:07They f***ing caved on the shutdown.
00:11Not even...
00:12Not even a full week removed
00:15from the best election night results they've had in years.
00:19The Daily Show's Jon Stewart
00:20tore into Democrats on Monday night,
00:23fuming that they had caved by voting to end debate
00:25on a deal that would end the longest government shutdown
00:28in American history.
00:29Seven Democratic senators and an independent
00:32voted for their Republican counterparts
00:34to end the shutdown and reopen the government.
00:37Stewart seethed.
00:38Democrats, you sold out the entire shutdown
00:41not to get what you wanted,
00:43but for a promise to not get what you wanted later.
00:46The outrage comes as Democrats have nearly nothing to show
00:49for their key objectives in the impasse,
00:52which has caused weeks of grounded and delayed flights,
00:54furloughed federal workers,
00:56and put food stamps for hungry families on hold.
00:59In exchange for their vote to advance the package,
01:02Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune
01:05agreed to give Democrats a vote
01:07on extending the enhanced Obamacare subsidies,
01:09the main priority of the Democrats' shutdown fight.
01:12However, he did not guarantee its passage.
01:15House Speaker Mike Johnson has also made no promise
01:18that they would even get a vote in the House
01:20of the subsidies extension passed in the Senate.
