Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) challenged the House Oversight Committee to a "lightning round game," shedding light on the US financial system and political corruption. #CNN #News
I think these questions are already send in before the hearing, so the people giving the answers have time to find the correct answers and can just say yes or no
She's not blaming nobody, she's not pointing the finger. She's just asking questions and letting people hear how stupid the answers are and making them reflect about it. She's so smart
@@kyleking3839 Stupid is too stupid to notice that stupid is stupid... it's easy to spot though, this person appears to have made no engagement at all with what she said!
exactly- executive privileged has been a problem on both sides of the aisle for far too long. and the checks and balances of our government are a joke- presidents are given defacto power like kings. they aren't supposed to be kings.
@Chuck Taylor haven't you seen what she said about Democrats who receive money from big companies? She went against one in New York and she pointed that out multiple times.
she's bringing to light the corruption and the messed up systems that are in place in the government. she hasn't named anybody and while there's large implications towards some politicians, she's not directly attacking them. many people seem annoyed that she doesn't have 'solutions' to the problems, but the first step is pointing out the problems and making people acknowledge that they exist (cos a lot of people still don't). she did it in such a smart way and honestly she's doing so much to help the system in whatever way she can
All of them are the pure copy in everything but updated of Fidel Castro, Chavez and even Ortega himself, I invite you to review the speeches of these people long before becoming President and then you draw your own conclusions.
@@stevehamblin10353 points to show the potential for corruption in government. 1. Show that a person can run a campaign funded almost entirely by special interests, then get elected and draft legislation to help those interests. 2. A member of congress can hold stock in a sector at the same time as they write legislation affecting the same sector. 3. The laws/statutes limiting corrupt practices by the President of the United States are less stringent than congress.
And yet people will claim that she someone managed to twist their own words. Smh. You can’t win with irrational folks. It’s like an atheist trying to make a Christian realize that they’ve had it wrong all along, despite the indoctrination that’s been instilled at birth.
idk if it has to do with her being a woman. im a guy and i was also impressed by her, but not necessarily proud because im not american but i would be if i were
She’s calling out American politics, not Trump, not really. This has been a problem for a few decades now. Citizen’s United made it exponentially worse.
livi p things that could happen resulting in pregnancy: •rape, especially in young girls •victims of sex trafficking •two consenting adults have sex, but the man lies about wearing a condom or pokes a hole in it •fetus develops in a way that wouldn’t allow for it to survive outside the womb, like heart or lungs developing outside the body •fetus is already dead and mother is a risk of sepsis
here come the trump supporters with their hate-based arguments calling her a liar or whatever even though everything she said were facts and the people in that video literally confirmed it :) she’s a goddess
@Alan Uchiha Bro, even I hate Trump but the only reason that people like AOC is because she's a woman and she's not white lmao. Like, I have no clue why people think she's such a goddess or whatever. I feel as if she doesn't actually know what she is talking about. For example, the Green New Deal. While it obviously has good intentions, it'll make our economy go bye bye. But that's just my opinion, you might have your reasons too.
If she is educated, anyone walks on the sea. These people prefer politics to being scientific and being on TV and fooling people. His family is from Puerto Rico but he never wants to be a political member of Puerto Rico. She's a mask like everyone on the left wing
😌 That's why the republicans attack her, she just calls their bullsht so effortlessly -the way a mom would do 😅-, and they hate the fact she has them figured out.
Curtis Couls Trump is also uneducated and pretty dumb. Neat how he can brag about being a genius for getting a perfect score on a test designed to test one’s deviation from mental health disorders?
@@shinmellow Interesting you took my prior comment so seriously. Not sure why you did but I will take you up on your challenge. AOCs resume just prior to getting elected in 2018, at age 28, was her 5-6 years as a WAITRESS and BARTENDER in a Mexican restaurant. Is that who you want to reconstruct the entire economy of the USA? The Green New Deal is BS and much more about Economics than the environment. Ever read it? I did and know you did not. Also, AOC admitted in a PBS interview, just after she was elected, that she knew NOTHING about Geo-politics or the Israeli- Palestinian conflict. In 2019, she claimed that the Pentagon (aka the Dept. of Defense) had a $21 TRILLION accounting error and that she would finance her Green New Deal with that money. Hahaha.....the one problem Teeny Bopper AOC had was that there was no $21 Trillion accounting error and that in the entire history of the USA, the Dept of Defense has NOT been budgeted anywhere near that amount, in total (a Pentagon spokesperson announced as much the next day but any intelligent person already knew that). She also had no clue what tax credits were so she LOST 25 THOUSAND JOBS for her own district and NYC when Amazon pulled out of that deal because of her and one other idiot Dems ignorance. She mistakenly thought the state of NY was going to write a check for $3 billion to Amazon. Unreal! She lost jobs for young people that look like her (aka Black and brown kids that go to schools like CCNY and CUNY). She is a train wreck; she is lost, has a low IQ, is poorly read, very inexperienced and possibly emotionally wounded. I get it; you are young and she is young and you connected with her. But that is why young people never run the country because you have no clue how things work. The ability to understand how economics, business, financial markets, govt, education, medicine, geo-politics, trade, yearly budgets and many other areas are all connected, cannot be understood by young waitresses from Mexican restaurants no matter how passionate they are or how big their mouths are. Loud does NOT mean right or smart. You are welcome for this free life lesson.
@@thomasluby1754 Just like Trump... oh wait. He got in with 0 experience, uneducated about anything politcal, and still a president. At least AOC taught herself. You don’t have to be a big time celebrity, or a 40 year senator. You just have to know what your talking about and advocate for it, and thats how she got into Congress. She has that appeal because she knows what she is talking about and done her homework.
GullyBop The history in being a woman speaking up on how corrupt the system of the government is and using examples such as how the president could get away with anything in order to achieve higher status and more wealth.
@@robloxbros6963 care to explain your reasoning? Because she is extremely intelligent, and she is certainly a very powerful and strong willed woman who is eloquent unlike the current president, so you saying cap is confusing me a little
I think trump or wtv his name is would try to interrupt her as much as he can so that she isn't able to get her point across. Unless they mute his mic cuz he's got covid 🤪🤪
I volunteer to be the person who’d shut donald trump up for interrupting her- bc lets be real he would interrupt her a lot if they were in an actual debate (just to throw a tantrum of course)
@@TAYLORFAN50 the public school system has failed everyone to busy reading shake spear rather than debating communism or capitalism or reading the constitution. Or one of Milton Friedman many books.
Wow. Revelatory. Thank you for this. Though it is shocking and sickening. There was an assumption of moral character in years past. That politicians were statesman, upstanding, and would be ethical.
If she is educated, anyone walks on the sea. These people prefer politics to being scientific and being on TV and fooling people. His family is from Puerto Rico but he never wants to be a political member of Puerto Rico. She's a mask like everyone on the left wing
@@rubiperez8142 i more meant, when your at that age you see the corruption, your more determined and passionate. Then you get bit older and more time and realise how infiltrated, deep it runs and cant do it as one man ...or woman before anyone freaks out, lol. Human.
Bernie sanders and trump actually made me want to listen to politics. Bernie opened the path to progressivism but trump is what really pushed me onto that path.
@@modernbaseballfanclub AOC has a constituency that voted her in because of an Hispanic surname: period. It sure as hell wasn't based on her experience and know-how.
Maynard G. Krebs but when we vote for a man called Donald its clearly because he’s a worthy candidate. Just admit you hate to see women who aren’t white rip you to pieces
@@known_film4081 Capitalism in aMerica is already extremely corrupted. It's built on greed, manipulation, exploitation, etc. I can't say if it's better or worse than how other countries operate, but the lack of genuine structure for a fair system so that society works fairly and efficiently is becoming more impossible with there being so many problems that get covered up as the solution rather than an actual solution. Things could be better but it's held back by people not worthy to be in charge.
How is it that she formulates her arguments so well that she even gets the opposition to agree with what she’s saying, yet people on here are calling her dumb. She is the very opposite of dumb.
But THE ADULT KILL US AS THE NEXT GENERATION. THEY JUST KNOW HOW TO MAKE A BABY AND THEN KILL THEIR CHILD THAT OBVIOUSLY RIGHT. THE YOUNGER ONES IS THE NEXT GENERATION OF ALL COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!

Yeah, unfortunately it's not an easy task at all. First time she went public, she received massive backlash for being progressive. I saw sooooo many youtuber who are into gaming mock her ideas. Most people wouldn't even be able to imagine what mental pressure she's gone through.
@@kevinschafer6345 I support her for being progressive. She makes sense to me, she's not a lot of bs. Simply saying things otherwise won't convince me to change my mind
@@alexmurray9843 if biden wins kamala will run for pres in 2024 and will run in second term if she wins 2024 but aoc 2032 bc she will have more expierience shes too youn
Thank you for being an honest woman who still believes in democracy and working for the people of this country rather than self serving, greedy, dishonest politicians who seem to have taken over government especially the one right at the top!!!! 🥺
no one is scared of her, multiple people have offered a debate, Ben Shapiro offered 10k to debate, Candace Owens offered 100k, she refused all offers to a debate.
Even though I don't fully agree with what she says, I still agree she brings a new unique way of forming arguments that presents a new, "scary" challenge for the older people she's working around.
Yeah you travel by trains and boats.. kill airlines.. take buyouts for being vegetarian 😘 read the entire green new deal lmao hope you’re vegan or vegetarian. By the way I was for over ten years and I’m not now, by choice. She’s an avid supporter of it lol.
@@lemmeborrowthttop believe it or not, just cause someone believes in something for themselves doesn’t mean they’re gonna make everyone else do the same, especially with someone like her who is, as far as I know, a great person
@@MatthewSmith-to1hz maybe reevaluate your grammar before you call out a strong and powerful woman who has worked her way to a respectable position in politics.
she definitely had a great confidence and its great to have minorities in office but her politics are just soooo stupid she has no idea what she’s talking about
I luv her she's like the monster of justice. She should be president, anybody can tell she's not corrupt,she is pissed by corruption,that's a true leader's trait.
Except she doesnt have a clue on economic policy or immigration policy, she just spoke words that we dont even know if she wrote them, and presented somewhat no fact against trump, just exposed a major flaw in campaigning, in which dems and repubs use alike. And everyone with a brain is against corruption, and before u come at me with trump is corrupt, Mueller report came back with no evidence. And the former head of ice had to tell her that crossing the border illegally is a crime. I love strong women in politics, but not her. She is would never make a good leader based on her mentality, and her intelligence.
@@SwedeInCPH If you actually look at the clip he was referencing UV injections, which might help and people, and he surely didnt tell us to drink bleach, And as to your bankruptcy comment, Thomas Jefferson, Abe Lincoln, and Ulysses S Grant also went bankrupt along with others.
@@charliecrump350 Are you really going to try and defend the disinfectant injections? This was his exact quote: "And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning?"
@@michaelhighlights1614 well, because we already have a bad guy who uses and publicly sexualy harassing women as president who shouldn't be there so.... Let's just say that the choice was obvious
Okay she’s directly calling out the fault in our political system, not the president. But, if you listen to her describe these behaviors and these are behaviors I think we can all agree are damaging, and you think, “How dare she call out the president.” Then doesn’t that mean that you yourself connect these behaviors with the man who you are defending?
@@tyvole36 We shall see in the future. You know, calling someone stupid just because they support someone who you do NOT support is pretty immature. Grow up, my friend, and respect other people's decisions and choices.
AOChavez received a political donation from Apple INC (that's a Corporation!) No "real change" here - just another lying politician... Here you go - Scroll down to where is says APPLE INC votesmart.org/candidate/campaign-finance/180416/alexandria-ocasio-cortez#.XF79nFxKjIU
Akshay Murthy Ok this is not an insult comment but I simply want to ask you a few questions and let me know what you think So as you know Cortez is proposing the green new deal Now I took the time to read through it and you can do the same it’s on line In it and I am quoting it verbatim, it says eliminate all fossil fuels within ten years and provide a wage income to all energy industry employees who will be out of work No money figure is presented so no one even knows the cost of that part and the millions of people affected It says eliminate all air travel and develop a train system Yes it really says this So I guess traveling for vacation or overseas is out of the question It says eliminate all meats And cow and poultry industry Yes it actually says this I’m not kidding. So no more burgers bacon hotdogs at parties It says provide a wage income and housing to all who are unable or unwilling to work So lazy people can get money and a place to live I could go on but what I am only suggesting is forget what party we are from and simply make educated evaluations research yourself before taking what someone says as true Her plan has no cost figures only estimates and the kicker is at the end it says the government will determine how to raise taxes on all Americans not just the richly so that this plan can be implemented Hope you have s good day really
RoninRacingDesign you must have read Fox new's take on it. Eliminate air travel and the cow and poultry industry? Paying for people that don't want to work? Really? I'm so tired of people making shit up to vilify those who don't deserve it and protecting those who are tearing this country apart. Why don't you read the actual document. ocasio-cortez.house.gov/sites/ocasio-cortez.house.gov/files/Resolution%20on%20a%20Green%20New%20Deal.pdf. I know you probably won't read it ... I'm posting the link so others can read for it themselves and see the outrageous statements you made are pure propaganda.
@@johnlesling8376 she's an airhead for correctly pointing out the channels a person could abuse to come to power at the promise of helping the corporations by working in their interests once in power? How could you have even possibly come to that conclusion without being a rampant moron or just a spiteful and unthinking republican backer?
I had this convo earlier with a trump voter. He brought up aoc and I said that I thought she was really great to have in congress, mainly because we don’t see younger politicians, which means by the time they get out of office they still have an America to live in for more than just 20 years so they are actually fighting for a more so common interest of the American people than a 70+ yr old multi-millionaire. That and even if you don’t agree with aoc’s politics, you have to at least acknowledge that she is a fish out of water, even within her own party, but doesn’t change her stances or just conform to the majority opinion.
I feel like she has many secrets on the government but can’t say and that’s what makes her dangerous but vulnerable I mean they could kill her and make up a whole story
@Me, i'm not not necessarily, I can believe who and what I want. Of course I do like some things about her and some not, but as long as humans have opinions and they come naturally, I am allowed to like her. I just liked her speeches. Give me a break.
@@a.arianiti8169 pretty oneside comparisons if you don't consider the negatives they are facing... It's very easy to just see the good side of a country without understanding why and how are they there.... Just like how philosophicaly "open borders" and "socialism_ sounds good... But when in reality, it will undermine the country's sovernity... Look, I'm not american, I can't vote... But I am from a allied country of America. The entire economies of democratic countries are very reliant on what happens in the USA... and trust me when I say Trump is doing a good job not only for u Americans but for us... If Trump 2020 doesn't happen, we will get another global recession... Esp with China fucking up Wuhan virus... U can count on it. So please America, don't fuck shit up for the rest of us.
The way she's passionate about it and the others are bored and tired... that's why young people should be on those jobs, old people do not want to get better, they just want to live and die.
they’re terrified and it is hilarious. they know she’s right in every way, very smart and educated, and is actually trying to have change for the better
@Jacob she knows what she is doing and knows how to do it. how on earth is trump better than her. trump is one of the worst presidents i think we have ever had. he has done so much that has negatively affected the united states.
