interesting she asks that question because even if he didn't, neither does she, and yet that doesn't stop her from making all kinds of economic commentary. her degree is in broadcast journalism. so in other words she has a degree that allows her to talk eloquently about things she knows nothing about.
Don't think that was a valid question at all. The debate and argument are to be based on facts. She does not have the right to ask him about his educational qualifications because he does not agree with her. Media people are on a power trip most times. It's not politicians who push their own agenda
It's a logical fallacy known as appeal to authority, meaning she is trying to appeal to an authority as evidence rather than actually debate it. so for instance 2 doctors arguing... and 1 says im a doctor, the other replies im a doctor too... yes you are both doctors but at least one of them or maybe both is still wrong.
Slam. He actually handled that quite civilly. If he would have wanted to rub it in, he could have responded, "Yes I do. With highest honors. And do you have a degree in economics, ma'am?"
Why would an news anchor as a man standing on the steps of Capitol Hill, if he had a degree in Economics?? I'm baffled, not least because I'd have put money on it that she a simple news presenter, sure wouldn't have had one.
She posted on facebook "just learned why lawyers are told never to ask a question they don't know the answer to." She quit her anchor position with MSNBC a month later.
Contessa Brewer: Do you have a degree in economics? Rep. Brooks (R-AL): Yes, ma'am. Highest honors. Producer: Start interviewing for Contessa's replacement.
Mo Brooks graduated from Duke in 3 yrs with degrees in political science & economics, high honors in econ. He got his JD from Alabama. Ms. MSNBC lost the battle before it began.
Nice show prep there Contessa, it's literally in the first paragraph of his on-line bio. But then in all fairness, how could she know that she was going to ask that question?
Right there is EVERYTHING that is wrong with "journalism" today. He has a degree in economics with highest honors and yet this git persist in her vain, stupid questions instead of saying, "Sir, I see that I am an idiot and apologize. Please explain to me and the viewers what is happening."
Love the way she blabbers about "simplifying the issue" "we were going to a deppression" blah blah as if she is an expert...Then asks for degree to person who disagrees...Glad she was owned
i know this was a long time ago by i have to say "Insert foot in mouth" i sometimes watch this video to get a good little laugh i even put it in my bookmarks lol
She really didn't stumble much. She challenged his credentials, he answered the challenge, and she continued to press her point essentially saying "so even though you have highest honors in economics you disagree with [people mentioned] about the recession?"
Does SHE have a degree in economics? If not you have no right when DEBATING with someone about a said subject(economics) to challenge them in that manner. Shes just being a classic MSNBC bitch.
Tyler Hoagland More importantly, the degree isn't even relevant to the discussion. Her asking that seemed to be an attempt to discredit his position based on an irrelevant attribute of his (also called an "ad hominem" fallacy), and she got shut down. Hard. And she totally deserved it. XD
She clearly meant, "How can you tell me that. I have a degree in economics and you don't." Then she found out he did and looked stupid on live national television.
WakeSideLife She was associating herself with academia assuming that her answer would be acceptable to anyone who has a degree in economics. She got debunked, totally destroyed there as a matter of 'fact'.
WakeSideLife In fact, I would take it a stretch further and call her outright stupid. Anyone who has taken Economics knows that different people think differently, hence the development of 'different schools of though'. Hell... even a high school Econ exam mark scheme would acknowledge that.
@cindy astra bella More importantly, what does having an Econ degree have to do with stating an opinion regarding her assertion that the economy was entering a depression?
a degree in rektanomics
Casey Fraz Animation highest honors*
Perfect
why so many +'s :O
Casey Fraz Animation lmfao! as soon as I saw your comment, I almost spit out my coffee.. simple, precise and direct rektification.. thanks!
with that comment you graduated me in Kekonomics
interesting she asks that question because even if he didn't, neither does she, and yet that doesn't stop her from making all kinds of economic commentary. her degree is in broadcast journalism. so in other words she has a degree that allows her to talk eloquently about things she knows nothing about.
it's like literally shooting her career I'm the face
+PHLY林朗新 I'm the face too, what a coincidence.
She asked because her source was the fed chairman who does have a degree in econ. Still a smug move nicely owned.
lol Max. Nice.
He should have also responded with, "And you?" "Other than the notes you are reading from the DNC, what are your qualifications?"
This is what influenced me to pursue a degree in economics.
this is unbelievably satisfying
. Every few months I return to this, just enjoy such moments vicariously 😊
"Fuck... Nobody has ever had a degree before..."
***** Cuz she doesn't have one.
+TheWhiteOwl23 You're not very bright, aren't you ?
LMAOOOOOOO
''What am I going to do now...?''
That congressman was a class act. He could have easily insulted that horrible MSNBC interviewer.
After he answered: he could of asked, Do you yourself have a degree in economics? Which she does not... then turned i back on her.

This is the classiest man I have ever seen. Even when she tried to discredit him, he didn't stoop to her level.
They are still trying to clean the wreckage in the MSNBC studio to this day.
Still isnt fixed lol.
@@pallec4246 STILL isn't fixed!!!
7 years later, it's surreal but MSNBC is even worse now.
@@THEAdmiralXizor STILL isn’t fixed
@@dillydoc4379 Nope! STILL not fixed... 🤣
Well know about someone before you try to shame or discredit them.
Bravo congressman!
OK, so....so
Commander Shepard so so so. ok.
All her base are belong to him.
froochie123 that destroyed my sides
this deserves more credit and attention
Underrated comment
#ThugLife Highest Honors!
that's what argument from authority gets you!
she started to cry a little at the end
I would have enjoyed this even more if his response had been, "Yes, ma'am. I do. Do you?"
Kyle Corrie
Exactly my thoughts
Was just thinking the same. He totally JBPd that news anchor. A class act, this congressman.
Yup that would’ve been great but I’ll take the highest honor remark
Well that assumption went well.
Every time I have a bad day I come back to this video and get a good chuckle.
BODIED
The way he says “ma’am” is so soft yet so brutal
Don't think that was a valid question at all. The debate and argument are to be based on facts. She does not have the right to ask him about his educational qualifications because he does not agree with her. Media people are on a power trip most times. It's not politicians who push their own agenda
I think I know what you mean. How can she challenge his credentials when she isn't qualified herself?
It's a logical fallacy known as appeal to authority, meaning she is trying to appeal to an authority as evidence rather than actually debate it. so for instance 2 doctors arguing... and 1 says im a doctor, the other replies im a doctor too... yes you are both doctors but at least one of them or maybe both is still wrong.
Just over a month after this, she announced she would no longer be anchoring.
Should have been that day
She never should've gotten the job to begin with.
Good news
Probably for reasons unrelated to this.
She did us a favor
That will NEVER stop being awesome.
A Degree In thugnomics
"Damn it feels good to be a gansta"
he should have asked her "do u have a certificate in economics" would love to hear her response.
MrYezayeza "No ma'am I have a _degree_ in economics, highest honours, not everybody can get a community college certificate and start working.
I love that he didnt follow up or press the matter. He knew she was done.
This is great.
She tried to shame him then when it didn’t work moved on 😂
This moment lives in my mind rent free forever lol
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn
Slam. He actually handled that quite civilly. If he would have wanted to rub it in, he could have responded, "Yes I do. With highest honors. And do you have a degree in economics, ma'am?"
i come here every few months...just to remember a moment like this existed in real life!...ok back to work :)
Could he have replied any dryer? That was so funny.
The best slap down video ever. "Highest honors". LOL He didn't even need to say, "Dumb Bitch", but he did.
And that is why I dont project my insecurities onto others
In her Face, straight but gentle!
Owned. Never ask a question you don't know the answer to. That's what he said on her FB page.
I got to church with this dude 🤭
So, after this female challenges him, and he trumps her, she goes on, PRETENDING that she didn't lost!
NO WONDER men think that we, women, are idiots!
LOVE IT
like a boss
She got Toasted lol
She walked into that one.
A Degree in Rektanomics, Highest Owners
hahaha he shut her well. "WIth the highest honours" wow she is dead now. Look how quickly she changed the topic, women like these GET owned! :))
How do you like them apples?
Way to go MSNBC research team.
He should have done a Jordan fade away and said “ And that’s the ball game!”
Owned.
"yes MAAM I do" haaaaa
"Yes ma'am I do, highest honors", good one LOL. Texans SUPPORTRUMPENCE!
He should have just causally bop danced out of the shot
Why would an news anchor as a man standing on the steps of Capitol Hill, if he had a degree in Economics?? I'm baffled, not least because I'd have put money on it that she a simple news presenter, sure wouldn't have had one.
She was like "Ah, fuck... I can't believe you've done this."
She's probably wondering how the fuck he got past fox's no-degree-interviewees screening
Onitz Yeah she passed MSNBC's total-bullshit-interviewees screening with highest honors
so told...
this is what made me pursue a degree in economics
Amazing
Ruthless
Is she still working or did that hammer hit too hard? Brutal.
She posted on facebook "just learned why lawyers are told never to ask a question they don't know the answer to." She quit her anchor position with MSNBC a month later.
Classic....
Boom!!
Game...set...match.
Never ask a question like that unless you know the answer.
She recovered quickly, I'll give her that.
Owned......
Even in this quality, you can see the exact point where she didn't know what to say.
"Well I disagree that we were going into a depression, you though, after this interview, oh boy, now we're talking depression"
It was a sucker punch for sure, she shouldn't have said it like that, but then again to be fair she's right; he is simplifying the issue...
He should have also responded with, "And you?" "Other than the notes you are reading from the DNC, what are your qualifications?"
Everybody gangsta till they meet an Economics degree-holder with the highest honors.
Contessa Brewer: Do you have a degree in economics?
Rep. Brooks (R-AL): Yes, ma'am. Highest honors.
Producer: Start interviewing for Contessa's replacement.
Today's media in a nutshell
Mo Brooks graduated from Duke in 3 yrs with degrees in political science & economics, high honors in econ. He got his JD from Alabama. Ms. MSNBC lost the battle before it began.
Nice show prep there Contessa, it's literally in the first paragraph of his on-line bio. But then in all fairness, how could she know that she was going to ask that question?
If there's a God, he definitely paused reality and said OH SHIT SON
At least she didn't call him Rev. Al Sharpton.
Damn she fell into his trap XD
hahaha unbiased professional "journalism" at its finest
This still makes me so happy 😂😂
Dumb question for so so many reasons...
What does he reply after 'Yes Maam I do' ?? It sounds like 'highest signs'...
"highest honors"
he said 'highest honors'
"Highest Honors"
how do u hear signs out of this, it's IMPOSSIBLE
Don't worry, it'll never be something that concerns you.
Right there is EVERYTHING that is wrong with "journalism" today. He has a degree in economics with highest honors and yet this git persist in her vain, stupid questions instead of saying, "Sir, I see that I am an idiot and apologize. Please explain to me and the viewers what is happening."
Even though I hate All the media most of them have a general idea of the person they are soaking to in interviews. She was clueless.
A counter question *"Do you?"* after that question would've been more satisfying
