Incredible exchange here as Hakeem Jeffries gets IRATE with CNBC’s Becky Quick for daring to press him on his robotic ACA talking points: Quick: Cuts Jeffries off to try to make him actually answer a question Jeffries: “You can ask the question, I’ll provide the answer!" Quick: "Answer the... question, instead of going back." Jeffries: "I'm providing an answer in order to provide context!" Quick: "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." Jeffries: "That's absolutely a ridiculous assertion. Shame on you for saying that! It’s not a partisan issue for us!" Quick: eyeroll This guy absolutely loses it at ANY semblance of media pushback to his scripted, robotic regurgitations.show more

We need more journalists that are willing to do this to be honest. Just cut through the nonsense and press the actual issue. Martha McCallum, Becky Quick, Will Cain, and to be fair even folks from the liberal side like Michael Smerconish do a good job of this.

Hakeem uses the same strategy that Kamala used during her campaign: Answer every question with a weird deflection or word salad and at all costs NEVER actually answer a question.

Flyover Countryman10 months ago

The great thing about @BeckyQuick is she plays it straight and asks tough questions of both sides. Why is this exchange not being posted by @SquawkCNBC ?

Everyone knows Hakeem Jeffries is a hack who gets nothing done for the American people. Even his own party is questioning his lack of leadership.

It was a one year extension so democrats could hold citizens hostage in a repeat shutdown for the 2026 elections. Hes a deceitful piggy.

Dollar Store Obama's "context" is a load of BS. Schumer wanted the shutdown to extend well beyond Thanksgiving. He was never interested in reopening the government in exchange for an extension of the Obamacare subsidies.

Wow. Brilliant. So now I don’t know if @SquawkCNBC Becky is a liberal which is what I thought. Now I don’t know and that’s exactly how it should be. We should have NO idea which way a journalist leans. When did that change?

UltraMAGAIndependent🇺🇸🇮🇹🇬🇷10 months ago

Jeffries is a liar. He said it was a “Republican government shutdown.” Democrats voted 14 times against opening the government in hopes President Trump and the Republicans would cave to their unsustainable unaffordable ACA demands. Fun fact: IT WAS THE SCHUMER SHUTDOWN.

Ernest Hemingway10 months ago

@nedryun Yo, “journalists”! Look at the visibility enjoyed by Ms Quick by doing her job well. That’s a lot likes and reposts! You too could accrue such notoriety by ignoring your personal agendas and focusing on doing your job well.

🔥 Hakeem Jeffries: "That's a ridiculous assertion. Shame on you for saying that.” CNBC host Becky Quick accuses him of wanting healthcare costs ⬆️ to score political points, because Dems want a multi-year ACA costs fix. (Was a Republican ever treated on there like this?)

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins just put Hakeem Jeffries in the heat seat about Epstein for over two minutes straight on national television. Jeffries tried to dodge questions about his and his party’s connections, but Collins came at him like a locomotive. She started with Stacey Plaskett: COLLINS: “Do you think it was appropriate for her to be texting with Jeffrey Epstein, 11 years after he pleaded guilty?” JEFFRIES: “I mean, I have not had a conversation with Stacey Plaskett to discuss this issue because we’ve been focused today on making sure that there was a decisive vote as it related to the Epstein files and the release.” COLLINS: “Do you plan to talk to her about it?” JEFFRIES: “I think that we……successfully defeated a resolution that lacked any basis, was not credible and was being brought by an individual who was trying to weaponize this issue to reinvigorate his own failed gubernatorial campaign in south Carolina.” “It was rejected on a bipartisan basis on the floor today. That’s the end of the story.” COLLINS: “Yeah, I was just asking if you personally believe messaging with Jeffrey Epstein, who is at that point a registered sex offender, is appropriate for a member of the House Democratic caucus?” Jeffries, clearly feeling the hear, snapped back: JEFFRIES: “That’s the third time you’ve asked me this question, and I’m going to give you the same exact answer.” “Our focus today is on making sure that the Jeffrey Epstein files were released. If you want to have a conversation with Stacey Plaskett about it, I’m sure she’d be willing to talk to you.” “It was an illegitimate effort to try to remove her from the House Committee on Intelligence, and that was defeated in a bipartisan way.”

JD Vance delivers the PERFECT response when pressed about Trump’s Hakeem Jeffries memes. The reporter framed it as a bad-faith move, but JD Vance handled the question flawlessly — capping it off with a hilarious proposal to Jeffries. REPORTER: “Is it helpful to post pictures of Leader Jeffries in a sombrero if you’re trying to have good faith talks with him?” VANCE: “Oh, I think it’s funny. The president’s joking and we’re having a good time. You can negotiate in good faith while also poking a little bit of fun at some of the absurdities of the Democrats’ positions and even poking some fun at the absurdity of the Democrats themselves. “I mean, I’ll tell Hakeem Jeffries right now. I make this solemn promise to you that if you help us reopen the government, the sombrero memes WILL STOP. And I’ve talked to the President of the United States about that.” JD Vance is too funny 😂

LMFAO A CNBC reporter was trying (and failing) to interview tech CEOs at the White House. Palantir CEO Alex Karp just took the microphone out of his hand and started asking them better questions: "Want me to get a question for you that will work? This is how you do it." "Shyam Sankar, tell me about how AI works on the battlefield. That's a question he'll answer." CNBC reporter: "I asked him what his message is to the president." "He said, 'I'm not going to answer that question. What do you think I am, the village idiot?'" Via CNBC

I honestly do not need to campaign for our Premier, he is going to remain our Premier with Ashton Hurn as opposition. I watched this video absolutely frustrated. Don’t ask a question and continually interrupt that person while they answer your question. If you do this, you instantly give me the impression that you’re arrogant. It’s one of my biggest pet peeves in politics. I want to hear the answer. We all want to hear the answer, from all sides.

Engineers and salespeople think in completely different ways. - Engineers: "If you ask them a question, a hundred percent of them will try and think of what is the correct answer to that question." - Salespeople: "If you're a salesperson, your first thought isn't: what's the answer? It's: why are you asking me that question?" "And so if you have an engineer talking to a good sales guy, it's going to upset them. Because they're often not gonna answer the question." "The guys who are good at the job get rejected, because you don't like them. And then the people who are terrible at it, those are the ones that ended up getting hired." "These CEOs just wanna take a guy who failed the engineering test, put a clean shirt on him and make him the head of sales." benahorowitz.eth with Brian Halligan

President Trump just called Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries TRAITORS on LIVE TV for attempting to UNDERMINE his negotiations with Iran "We can't let TRAITORS like Schumer put pressure on you where they say 'we want out!' Think how bad that is! I'm negotiating with these people, and they're telling us we have to get out NOW." "I want to I want to make a good deal. I'm not going to be rushed." "I don't want to be rushed by people that are really TREASONOUS as far as I'm concerned." "I watch this low IQ guy, Hakeem Jeffries... he's always ranting and raving. 'Oh, this war is so terrible!' They shouldn't be saying that when we're in the midst of a negotiation, because it does HURT us somewhat. It gives the other side some HOPE, and I don't want them to have hope!"

Today was the first chance media had a chance to ask #Eagles HC #NickSirianni about #AJBrown. I want to make it clear I think Sirianni is a very good coach but so many times he really is coached and doesn't answer the question. I will ask you did Nick Sirianni answer this question that had to be asked?
