What kind of antagonistic woman do they have interviewing here get her off of stage
Why would anyone support a J6 insurrectionist Rep Jim Jordan that attempted to overthrow our Constitution along with the Criminal Defendant P01135809?
Why is she interrupting Jeffries, that is so rude!
Hakeem is a walking, talking 'talking point'. He talks the same talk every time he's at the podium or being interviewed. Hakeem is just a wind-up-doll for the Democratic Party. He talks about the Biden administration as if it's the greatest thing since the invention of the wheel. Somebody please point out one thing that Joe Biden Jr has done that has directly benefited the citizens of this Country while serving as POTUS. Under Joe's administration and the Democrat Party rule we have experienced extreme inflation, military failures in Afghanistan and maintaining the force, two major wars overseas, placating Iran, an increase in U.S. poverty, higher consumer interest rates, higher energy and food costs, censorship by government agencies, out-of-control spending, a U.S. debt that is well over our GDP and rising, a loss of energy independence and security, and a divisiveness within this Country not seen since the Civil War. Everything Hakeem says about 'putting the people first' and 'building the economy from the bottom up' is absolute BS. And please, don't bring up Joe's claim about all the jobs that have been created since he became President. In January 2021, the unemployment rate was 6.3 percent, dropping from the April 2020 high of 14.8 percent. Biden didn't do one thing to reduce unemployment or create new jobs. The simple truth is that the jobs were already there, and people wanted to get back to work. I truly hate the spins, the propaganda, and the lies. By the way, Hakeem doesn't truly care about the interests of the American people. It's all about power baby, nothing more, nothing less. You Get It Blanket-heads.

JEFFRIES would be a fairer and more capable speaker than ANY Republican. What does he need–like 7 Republican votes?
This is not rocket science. The Democrats have no role in choosing a Republican Speaker. That has never been the responsibility of the minority party. Why does the idiotic media keep asking Democrats about bailing out the Republican party?
Hawkcream is full of 💩! What have you done for the Brooklyn ghettos, hoods, projects, slums… This man is more concerned about meddling in the affairs of a democratically elected government of Guyana and prevent the extradition of a wanted criminal from the very country. He need to be investigated.
3:05 Thank you, #HakeemJeffries for setting it straight, that #Democrats are not demanding anything; they are praying the #GOP will either, fall off the face of the earth, or wake-up and start actually governing. 🤨
3:12 This reporter is rude. She interviewed the orange turd and could not stop referring to him a president, (even though he hasn't been president for nearly 3 years) and she purports to be a 'hard-hitting journalist' when all I've even seen is rudeness. I get wanting to get to the crux of the matter, but she only pushes when there is no push. Mr. Jeffries is being pleasant and answering her questions and rather than hear his answer she pounces like he's the enemy. 🤨 Maybe she thinks she's still on #FauxNews? 🤷♀️ (And, judging by the comments, I am not the only one. 🤨)
JJordan is a self-serving publicity hound. … apologies to hounds.
@MSNBC,
What are Kristen Welker's motivations here? Her method of questioning here is wild. Why is she trying to place blame on the Democratic party for something that isn't their fault? It isn't their job to save the Republicans from themselves.
The wildest thing about all this is that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is the closest member to 215 votes with 212 votes in the bank and Kristen Welker wants to know why he won't sacrifice some of his votes to prop up another clown car?! What is Kristen smoking, MSNBC?!
Good interview I wish she would.have also asked the tough questions to Ex-President Donald Trump it was like she was afraid to ask him direct questions? Chuck Todd the ex host was the same unfortunately! The only that can safe Meet the Press is the son of Tim Russert which I believe study journalism like his Dad…😮😮😮
Stop the hand waving, get control of yourself.
Why didn't Dems find a bipartisan solution with Kevin McCarthy and avoid all the politics? Does anyone know about negotiations between Jeffries and McCarthy?
ℒ𝒾𝓏 𝒞𝒽ℯ𝓃ℯ𝓎 Note: Jim Jordan was involved in Trump's conspiracy to steal the election and seize power; he urged that Pence refuse to count lawful electoral votes. If Rs nominate Jordan to be Speaker, they will be abandoning the Constitution. They'll lose the House majority and they deserve it. ⚔
Why is this woman beating up on him. She looks and sounds like she's pretending to be tough and comes across like the neighbourhood bully but can't pull it off.
can never trust a guy named Hakeem who is a democrat!
Why on earth did Matt Gaetz shut down congress with literally no one to replace the speaker? And who are the dummies that elected this guy?
I think if she grilled someone like DJT like she did here, he'd call her a "nasty woman"
I have to agree Kristen was aggressive with Leader Hakeen Jeffries! She need to have the same aggression with Republicans!! She was so rude I couldn't watch the whole interview!!!
As a Democrat, I know that Leader Jefferies could help with a good solution to the House Speaker mess. Another solution, if she were willing to accept the position with all the chaos, Liz Cheney would be a great choice for Speaker of the House. She is a dedicated Republican who has integrity, experience and would be against the MAGA nonsense.
I get that this conversation is about the current crisis in Congress but the recurring phrase all congresspeople inject in their discussions is “putting America first.” I’m sorry, but how is it that “putting the American people first” doesn’t include major aid to Maui? Too many times our American states have suffered a lack of critical support from our government while financial and humanitarian aid goes to foreign countries. And although I don’t want to specifically bring up race, these American states and protectorates are largely or primarily Brown: Hawaii, Puerto Rico (which isn’t a state but should be), Louisiana, parts of Mississippi, Texas, and West Virginia. Where’s the help for their recovery? They continue to barely exist, struggling to survive in devastation and/or economic failure without basic human necessities and comforts to which the rest of us have access: food, clean water, a place to live, jobs. This governmental ignoring of our own has to stop! We cannot have any confidence in a government that doesn’t support our American people.
Or they need a bipartisan committee of 3 Democrats and 3 republicans who edit legislation and make the final submissions of bills. No bill should ever not be bipartisan
What has Jeffries did for New York????
There should be one republican speaker and one Democrat speaker and a mediator judge. They need to have an independent judge make final determinations and both speakers can always make their case to the judge over policy changes etc. Place a judge over two speakers for fairness and ebipartisan ship. A bipartisan mediator should be similar to a special council. Someone who knows Senate Congress law who doesn't have to take the role of the dual speakers. We need a new system. We can have this majority rule stuff anymore
THE REPORTER IS NOT LISTENING TO CONGRESSMAN. THE REPORTER IS TRYING TO BLAME DEMOCRATICS FOR ""THE REPUBLICAN CHOICE TO SHUT GOVERNMENT""….DEMOCRATICS ARE NOT THE MAJORITY, THUS IS THE REPUBLICAN CHOICE…..11 DAYS…ON THE HOUSE REPUBLICAN DECISION TO DO NOTHING…
All this knew NOT about Trump is sending the fat man into a rage.
If there’s a government shutdown I see 60 million protesters in front of all government offices. Gonna see us out there with our wheelchairs, canes , oxygen tanks . Portapotty drinking water
Hakeem Jeffries is our House Speaker
