I don’t understand how America brags so much about “being the richest country in the world” yet goes “What? We don’t have money for that!” when it comes to issues like healthcare and education. My third world country pays for that, you can do it too!
Anna Laura de Paula you nailed it! Now you know why the US stays rich and your country stays poor.
Peterman Japan yeah, but a poor country in which I don’t have to worry about healthcare, education, minimal wage, medicine.... How is it good to keep you state rich and your citizens poor?
Peterman Japan But that’s just wishful thinking of mine. The only thing Americans care about is themselves. Not a lot to spare to even their fellow citizens. Hope you can enjoy your riches (better saying, your country’s riches) with a clean conscience.
Anna Laura de Paula the US is the fastest money earning country per lifetime. Meaning you’ve got the best chances in the world to get rich when not inherited. I’m poor. But I have hopes, and prefer to have my future in my hands and
not someone else’s.
Peterman Japan Then I hope you achieve everything you’re looking for, again, with a clean conscience.
Having a hair tie on her wrist on national TV is relatable af.
I had a green hair tie @ my prom and I didn’t realize until I saw it in pictures so yes, das a mood😂
BAGAGAGAHAHA THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING
Bad ass ... a bad bitch boss like her has gotta be ready to tie up that hair and get to work at a moments notice haha 😂 ❤️❤️❤️
Mommy Dearest yes i agree!!!
LOL
People do realise healthcare for all is available in every developed country in Europe right?
And it is FREE
Not in America. They're too self-centered and ignorant to understand that... It's like we reverted back to the 1910's or something.
Ricky Moore that is false. There is half the country who wants it, and then half thats against it for some strange mad up reason. Once the latter half dies in 10 years things will change. Hopefully.
BDestiny nothing is free, it’s payed by taxpayers
@@Bdestiny933 define "free"
The intelligence in this interview is unmatched in any political interview I’ve ever seen. The questions were ones I actually wanted answers for, and the answers were actual answers.
Ikr, it's refreshing to not have someone pull out the wrong charts and just tell interviewers they're interrupting you 😂
@@ThisIsTheMajor Then that's even worse. 200/330 million people, about 66% of the USA population is not making enough money. I don't think that her intelligence has got anything with miscalculating numbers and all that, she's smart because she is addressing needs not because she's the best at calculating numbers. You are a fool to think that intelligence is just how good you are in calculating numbers.
Lol, dunning kruger effect, or echo chamber? or both. Either way, your positive opinion of this interview is based on left wing bias.
Vulpinetide Cute Times I’ve grown up in a household of Republicans, and until February, I considered myself one as well. I’ve seen interviews for both sides and hers are conducted very well. If you read my comment, I didn’t say anything about agreeing or disagreeing with her political views, I said that they asked good questions. Anyone who wants to be involved in voting needs to watch interviews for both sides. Being an independent, I need to decide what my preferences are so I can be a smart voter.
This Is The Major why do you feel the need to comment with so much anger? Who hurt you?
Future president right here
Ok incel
@@elitegamer3693 lol feel better, bud
Hell yeah I'm voting for her.
have fun at the gulags
She would never make it to the swearing in.
In Europe we see her ideas as centrist, because human decency is not righ-wing or left-wing. It has its downfalls but free education and healthcare is something that has more benefits than flaws and I really want to see US getting there.
There is thing called "American Dream" and "European Dream"
AD is about big house, big money, miserable life, and being dick about it
ED is all about having meaningful life with house that is older than US (and having no school shootin' every week)
And I won't talk about immigrant influx if I were you - at least in Europe we don't steal kid from their parents and our leadres are able to speak in whole sentences.
Don't embarrass yourself and our country with your ignorance. Many of them are far better than we are and they have been like that for almost 50 years. Go pick a book and learn something.
Excuse his huge ignorance. Most of us are not like that at all.
Despite his moniker, I'd be willing to bet his life's savings that he's never stepped foot on the European continent.

Here’s the thing her policies never worked
@@andrecarvalho1339, yep, her policies only sound good on paper but when in action it will flop, it really doesn't seem like she has a degree in economics.
leftfoot maybe you are ignorant about Europe. I live in Portugal and she is basically copy pasting out policies and if you know something about Europe is that Portugal and the Southern European countries(socialist) are not economic successes. The countries with the highest gdps per capita are Luxembourg Ireland and the Netherlands in the EU and guess what they all have liberal governments(european liberals that believe in freer markets than conservatives)
As a young woman who has lived in Ohio all her life, trust me when I say, our parents and grandparents may be staunch republicans, but millennials and gen z, you better watch out for them. We see the dangerous affects of the lies our parents have told us and we are angry and ready for change! AOC’s beliefs and ideas represent all of America, not just her district in NY.
yupp im gen z from ohio as well and i ADORE her. i hope i get to vote for her for president in my first election
@@kyrakremser2333 Omg, same. I'm in Toledo, huge minority population. We need more people like her.
I agree. I live in West Virginia which is crazy predominantly republican. I’m Gen Z and even if you want to add something to a discussion about the things that I want to see like universal healthcare, I get attacked by other people and told that socialism will be the downfall of America. In reality, the downfall of America will be and already is the ignorance of so many people in this country that’s keeping us from achieving these milestones on our road to become great again. AOC needs to run. As us Gen Z’s age and become more of a force in this country and the Baby Boomers start to... “deplete,” I think that this country will finally make a big move in the right direction

I’m literally losing friends because I lean left and I’m backing Bernie, I really like his message, I have been listening to all sides, spending my off time doing research, hell I use to be a trump supporter not all that long ago, now I feel like I can’t have a conversation without people dipping out just because they may disagree. I am a veteran too, so lots of them are super pro trump but yet I don’t believe they have real good reasons for that.
I care about my fellow human beings.
Don't lose faith! I know how frustrating it can be to navigate political conversations with friends and family. Ultimately regardless of political party we all want the same things, so I try to remember that and have empathy for people who are on the other end of the political spectrum. Often they really just don't know or their minds are too inflexible to change (most people basically stop learning/growing after a certain age). So kudos to you for doing research and forming your own opinion!
You're losing friends because you're advocating Communism in America.
If you were ever a Trump supporter then the Pope is Jewish.
Thank you for your bravery. I believe Veterans deserve to have their voices heard because you have been places and see things that many Americans only hear about. I also believe that to serve your country is the biggest act of patriotism-you fighting for our country which is full of people who are divided and against each other-don’t feel like it’s been for nothing and that you’re alone. Because you’re not. There are many, many people who want to fight for others too-by voting, by listening to the stories of Americans (such as yourself), by speaking out for others whom we may never meet in other states, and more.
In my opinion...Bernie’s campaign is patriotic because he wants to fight for people who do not look like him, for so many who will never meet him or see him in a rally, and he fights for the people whose voices get lost and forgotten.
@@ProudCommie Sanders is a communist. I don't care what HE calls himself, his stances, who he supports and advocates, the policies that he wants to implement, especially the ones he's flip flopped on lately, all communist policies.
I don't like Trump, personally. I voted against him in 2016. But he's getting the job done. The improvements he's implemented in the VAMC system that I've personally benefited from are testament to that.
If you cared about your fellow man, Sanders is the LAST person you'd be supporting. I don't believe you were a Trump supporter because IF you had been, you'd be even more so now.
Just because someone is in your face, doesn't mean they're out to get you or don't know what they're talking about. We all learned that in basic.
This is why you're losing friends. This is what you are now promoting.
@@ProudCommie first off, his medicaid for all. This isn't just regulation, this is putting the entire industry under the control of the government. He education programs, the same. They are actually re-education, soviet/cuban style and, again, put the control of the entire industry (read: means of production) under the direct control of the government.
There is not one proposal that Sanders has made that the government would not absolutely control and own by proxy.
That is communism.
Two young people talking - so clever and with humor - it gives hope for USA.
Interesting that one is not American, and the other first-generation American. A fresh breeze they bring a new and contemporary perspective to the old, tired old attitudes.
For the past 4 years in Europe we’ve been laughing at the US... Listen to her because she’ll make America great again.
Not only Europe, the whole world is laughing at the U.S now, because of Trump.
*Make America Great For The First Time

@@lorenacortez9377 are you okay?
@ICARUS 10inch its because of trump why america is ruined and we are all going to die. He isnt a good person he is sooo slow the dude wanted to drop nukes inside of hurricanes to stop them he is a big idoit and so is anyone who follows him
I really don't understand how America thinks of these as extremist views when all she wants is a place where people can live and have a fair shot at life. These seem pretty normal and logical views for any other country. I was shocked to find out how much you people pay for healthcare/ How much you pay for something as basic and necessary as ambulance services. We all go to colleges but people from other countries rarely end up in debts as there are strict regulations against how much institutions can charge for a right as basic as education. The top institutes are government funded and have very minimal fee. We don't go bankrupt if we fall ill.
Yes, you America can gloat all you want looking at the advancement of your top 1-5% and talk about your gdp numbers. But what is the point of all of this if at the end of the day you, as a normal citizen of the country is struggling? And the idea that people should work harder if they want better life? The title of a developed country makes sense if your country offers a good standard of life to you and makes you comfortable.
I wish there were more young women like her in every country. She is so passionate and amazing
Then you should probably do some research.
PERIOD
Exactly! I'm French and I'm just wondering how the f can American believe that free healthcare and free college are a bad thing...
@Liberty Steel That's funny because I'm pretty sure you're driving on roads and goes to the hospital from time to time. You think they just magically appeared ?
@Liberty Steel you just admitted that all those taxes are used for the benefit of all people. Not just those who pay for it. No just for one person in particular.
Cognitive dissonance is a b*tch, isn't it ?
If she doesn’t run for president at some point, I am going to cry.
This woman is a pioneer for our future and if we let her get ahold of what’s important, I would bet my life that things would become so much better.
I think she'll make more progress holding a congress or senate position, and being a "radical" thinker. If she becomes president, she will 100% have to compromise her values and take a more centrist approach and I don't think she wants that
agreed, same here
Shivangi Tomar good point I agree aswell
I honestly do not think she will be running for president ever, I think she is going to work her way into the system in congress
You want a person with zero facts and bullshit socialist idea to run America. Please do some research on her facts then say what u wrote again.

LogicKombat too expensive for America yet we can give billon dollar lotteries lol
@@vssage6899 V SSAGE We don't just "give" people money for winning the lottery. People pay into the lottery system because they choose to. People are willing to pay for a chance to win, unlike Cortez who wants to force me and everyone else to pay into the system so everyone else can have "free" shit. But hey, let me explain how the lottery works here real quick.
Instant Winner Scratch-Off Cards. These are the games where you buy individual tickets and scratch them off to see if you win. Say, for example, you set up a game with a batch of cards that would cost $1,000,000 to buy them all. Have the cards printed so the prizes on all of them only add up to $500,000. Out of the remaining $500,000 you pay the cost of printing the tickets, advertising, selling tickets, and other overhead. You still end up with a nice profit left over.
A weekly lottery where people pick a set of numbers and hope theirs are drawn. The prize grows based upon how much money people spend. Say, for example, people spend $100,000,000 in tickets and the jackpot is $100,000,000. No chance for profit you say? In the fine print, most of these types of lotteries say “payable over 20 years”. When someone wins, the administrators buy an annuity paying the jackpot amount but spread out into yearly payments over 20 years. They should be able to purchase one for half of what the total payout is. The other half of the money goes to overhead and another nice profit.
The profit is literally baked into the system. The whole thing is structured to practically guarantee a decent profit. And this doesn’t even take into account lost or destroyed tickets that are never turned in and hence never paid out. Those are just extra gravy on the top. Notice how there is no mention of money being "given away."
Is not a coincidence that the people who are against raising the minimum wage, benefit from it.
Wow! She talks with sense, why the President can't? She shows class, competent and compassion.
Its funny how aoc didnt have a politic background and is this amazing (but she does have an economics degree) , yet president trump didnt have a political background and he completely trashing this country
Brilliant lady no wonder why she’s so hated
Man in congress and politicians feel threatened by her
Not really......
how she speaks is so beautiful. I think she sounds so sincere, I really hope she doesn't change!
I've been watching a lot of her vids, and there's always comments about how she conducts herself like a bratty child. What one may label as a "tantrum", I see as youthful exuberance. Her passion and animated body language turns some people off, but that's ultimately their problem.
She talks for me and ordinary people. Don't see how she can beat the corrupt political machine but as long as she is trying I'll be supporting.
She talks for lame ass stoner kids who dont talk politics babe
She already did it. She got outspent by 10 to 1 and still won the race despite NY voter suppression.
It's a great thing that money is no longer very effective if you are not a true progressive candidate.
@Anti Cosmopolite Bring arguments or be dismissed, stupid maronite troll.
@Anti Cosmopolite Oh :-) So NOW you seem to understand really better how stigmatizing someone over his religion is as bad as racism? Great, you've made progress today, be thankful to us. No, it's not technically racism, but who the fuck cares if it's as bad?
(mais c'est bien, t'es super polyglotte, tu sais insulter et faire des généralités dans 3 langues?! Bravooooo :-) **claps**
Ed 😑you are fucking stupid.
Why are simple things like having healthcare, having affordable education, and saving the planet controversial? We ALL want to be healthy and educated. So what’s the problem? Can someone please tell me ? Bc these corporations seem to only care about money and it sickens me
Because when one us used to being privileged and using that privilege to exercise power over those who aren't, it feels like something is being stolen from you when the less privileged become equal. Which, in a way is true. Because they lose the ability to exercise unjust power over another human being.
Furthermore, "The American Dream" is another culprit. Generations of this country has been sold on the idea that with hard work and perseverance you too can make it big. So those that have sneer down on those that haven't. All the way down the class ladder. Doesn't seem to matter if you earned your resources or had them handed to you either. Just that you have X over Johnny down the road so you're one step closer to "The American Dream" and therefore better than lazy good for nothing Johhny boy.
It's a way to keep us divided, disenfranchised, and unable to really organize to effect real change.
Because it's expensive

@@erikdayne5429 Name one.
The money spent in the military gets returned into the pockets of the members of Congress. I'll give you an example. I was in the Navy for 8 years as an Interior Communications Electrician. The phones, speakers, fire alarms, smoke detectors, flooding sensors, nuts, bolts, screws, we used. All cost 10x as much than it would in the civilian world. One little screw is worth more than $30, a piece of crap phone is worth $248.00. It adds up quickly to millions of dollars when you think of every compartment on every ship needing a phone. One company name is Dynalec. (Some people steal them and sell them on Ebay but that is besides the point) The Navy is under contract so we have no choice but to buy these over priced items that would cost less literally anywhere else. The owner of said companies are members of Congress. So the money they give to the military, goes right back into their pockets.
BINGO!!! I'm Air Force, been in 3 different career fields and noticed the same thing. It amazed me how when i ordered furniture for the Honor Guard, I learned that of the 3 estimates researched, 90% of the time Unicor (a prison industrial complex company) wins the contract. I literally was speaking to am inmate who was taking the order. I've always concluded that someone in Congress got these military contracts.

social democratic parties are totally normal and are in power in germany, spain, etc.
its good that americans are finally seeing their absurd social politics.
AgentPaul101 Agreed. A lot of their "liberal" ideas are considered pretty conservative here. Such as the right to free health care.
I live in America its because people don't tend to see between the hidden lines and people always think they're being screwed over. In some cases they're right, other cases they're being fed some ideological bullshit.
AgentPaul101 We're an infant country, growing up slowly.
now with the republicans radicalicing under trump and moving to the right, the only way to get voters back, the democrats need to move left, so they give them a real alternative. going back to politics after trump you can score a lot with being serious about what exactly you want to do and be the complete opposite of trump.
it might be bold but bernie is to old to run again, i guess. so democrats should move to the real left and implement her as president-candidate in 2024 or even 2020.

I am 89 years 'old'. I have been waiting for umpteen years for a Bernie, an Alexandria Ocasio- Cortez and yes, an AMLO from Mexico. I sense a fresh breeze sweeping across my country and the world. A breeze carrying the scent of honesty, concern and love. I want to hang on for a few more years to witness the outcome of their efforts. "Onward 'Christian' soldiers." WOW!
Honesty? She lied through most of this interview.
Lots of love to you David!! My dad is 85.
Can you back this up/
@Ann Schurman
1) "200 million Americans make less than 20K a year. That's 40% of this country." WRONG! There is 327(give or take) million people in this country. 200 million is actually 61% unless she thinks there is 500 million people in this country.
2) But let's look at that first sentence again, "200 million Americans make less than 20K a year." Accord to 2016 wage statistics, 36% of wage earners make less than 20k a year (That's 59 million people). Again, that's earners, not population. Now 59 million seems high but there are a couple reasons. 27 million Americans only work part time. Then you have 19 million workers are between 16-24. Let's say someone working full time during summer and winter breaks and then part time during school season. These groups typically aren't making over 40k a year.
3) "If corporations paid their fair share. If Warren Buffet paid as much as his secretary paid 15%..." His secretary doesn't pay 15% in taxes she pays 35% in income taxes. Also Warren Buffet pays 20% capital gains tax.
4) Carbon tax to incentives people away from fossil fuels" Carbon tax is only a cash grab and doesn't change consumer behavior at all. In fact France literally had month long riots in November because of a carbon tax.
5) "Just last year we gave the military a 700 billion dollar budget increase. Which they didn’t even ask for!" Militaries budget is only 575 billion. So unless the budget for 2016 was only 75 billion that is also wrong. Plus the military always asks for more money.
She is a lying politician and because she is promising free shit you all are falling for it. Might as well just vote Santa Claus in office if you only care about gifts. When Trump lies we jump down his throat. When she lies we make excuses and call the right sexist. Yeah, that makes sense.
@@farlanghn I see you remembered to take your think, do and say pill today...You probably think the fat cheeto tells the truth....
So many cruel and ignorant comments here only show that public education in the US needs serious improvement.
forogaföld perfect comment
We need to have an education system first, then we can try to improve it.
forogaföld 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
@@erikgonzales8804 She graduated from B.U.(Thats Boston University for the Trump knuckle draggers...)
Where did you get your degree?
she know nothing about politics
"it's not a coincidence that they profit off of low wages"
I literally just stopped going over the comments to concentrate on the interview.... I have never done that before
I'm from the midwest. I support her & other progressives. She is a God sent in a deeply troubling time
Well said, J T
I think you mean she is god sent
This woman truly loves our country. Not just the ideals and values of this country, but the people of this country.
Mary Also, her country.
Haha I saw what Mary did there
@Mary That's why we need her in that office. That's how our elected officials are supposed to be.
You’re stupid
@Diego Garcia Well, at least you didn't spell it like "Your stupid" like so many do. 100 points for that.
Boy the intelligence in this interview is beyond anything I watch, not only from AOC actually answering the questions with valid arguments to back up her talk but also from Trevor, who knew that a comedian will actually do a much better job than a journalist, his interviewing style is so smart and much better than anything I've seen in a while
You must be watching paint dry... aoc makes pretty false statements in this video...
Her and Bernie Sanders. Best politicians in the world.
Why ?!!!!!
Ladies and Gentleman! I believe that we are watching the future President of the United States of America!!!!!! Cortez I Love You!!!
Vote for cortez my dear and i will marry u baby
Hopefully not.
Better her than Ivanka.
@@lorestrahan2207 Benghazi??????
Krystal Thompson :
The first, youngest, woman, of color, President of the United States.
Can't happen soon enough.
I like how gentlemanly Trevor is during interviews
I do, too! He's really a terrific interviewer, and he has a hundred different accents he can do, too! :) We're lucky to have him doing _The Daily Show._ I heard no one else wanted the gig except him. I'm so glad he did!
Kelly Killoran fuck Tomi Lahren. Lol.
@Kelly Killoran he was still respectful with her even if he disagree with her
@Kelly Killoran aaawwwe did you get your feelings hurt?
@Anthony DelVecchio Wow, little male ego rage? He makes more in a week then most Americans make in s year! He's from South Africa and his father was white!
Remembering when Trevor wore a shirt, tie and suit for interviews - not just a sweatshirt (;-)
it's a hoodie...:)
My god! She is born to revolutionize the society 🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yeah. Lenin would be proud of her
Isn't it kind of sad that the best interview of this great candidate has to be on a comedy show?
We keep hearing that we cannot afford healthcare or education - yet we have no problem with a 12 billion dollar bailout for farmers due to trump's botched trade war. Our nation's priorities are screwed!
I don't think it's sad this just happens to be a major program
Isn't it sad that comedy shows are a far more reliable source of information than the "serious" media? I'm not even American, and I notice this...
Tito Tim's Videos Comedy? Name a joke.
Jakub Piatkowski yeah they're comedy shows for a reason and people unironically believe shit they say.
lol old man... you think this is comedy?
WOW! You have to admire this lady. She must really frighten some people.
Yeah she does. The rich and the stupid. Aka Drumpf* supporters.
the rich folks on the left and right are terrified of her
have fun in the gulags
Everything that AOC wants for the US, everything that the US deems too radical, is everything that us Scandinavians have been thriving with for years and years. I'm soon finishing with a masters degree and I never paid a single penny in tuition, and I actually receive money from the government every month while I'm studying.
Which country?
@@beyondthepale9071 My Swedish friend (who was an exchange student for a year) told me he received money to study. I think Norway and Denmark do so as well?
@@yozora55555 Denmark does and they have a problem so bad they are called "eternity students." Norway may be free. Either way, imagine taxpayers paying for people to be students for as long as said student wants to be. Also, there is no penalty for dropping out. Hilarious.
In Hungary is the same actually.
@@beyondthepale9071 Have you ever heard of university extra year limits? Also Scandinavia is not Democratic Socialist but they are Social Democracies which means 100% capitalism but the state takes care of its own citizens by providing healthcare and education so they can equally compete in Capitalism.
I love this woman. She is amazing and has a great sharp mind. 🙏👌💕
For once in my lifetime (I’m 26), I’m engaged, hopeful, and inspired hearing a politician speak! I hope she makes it far!!
I’m really starting to like her. Especially when she mentions climate change
Climate change is a Marxist fraud
How willl she pay for it
@@jackwertz8301 ...... im done
@Jack Wertz , holy shit u r on every comment 😂 are you one of those flat earthers?
Climate change is real, according to scientist it is biggest global threat to human existence but pieces of shits like u want to make it political when it should be a moral issue if u cared u would open ur eyes and see it as a dire situation for all of mankind
Trevor with all the right questions to truly bring people together!!
I don’t care if you agree with her or not but just the fact that she won’t sell herself is admirable. She’s so dope.
Hell yeah!
Broah Noah is the best interviewer ever!
His asking all the right questions, im so happy his doing this!
God bless you Noah, better than all these media reports combined!!!
If this lady and Trevor Noah had kids together, they would rule the world
They would be like a huge power couple in general heheh look at us fantazising about a politicians ans a talkshowhosts love live
I personally hope to see either of them marry a white supremacist to convert their spouse back into human decency.
@Drake Pryce you just wrote "late term abortion. Lol" Which part of that phrase do you consider laugh out loud funny?
Alex De la Luna I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING. But he is MY husband. Lol
@@alexdelaluna519 ...there's far more "brown" supremacists to worry about.
I like how she mention that she just considers the needs of the people and she doesn't like labels because it's a distraction from issues at cause
"I have taken a public pledge not to accept any corporate pack money whatsoever" now that's how you win ordinary peoples' trust.
You let Bernie slip through your fingers, now you are being given a second chance... Don't F**K it up America!
I was only allowed one vote.
duchesswannabe The only obstacle is the party of Joe Macarthy. The Commie lie has been premeditated through out our society. I mean look at the question when he asked about money in politics and running into reality. That there shows how far right we went the last 40 years.....and we didn't even know it.
duchesswannabe in all fairness the DNC bullied us out of a Bernie presidency with Superdelegates and disenfranchising new voters by closing them out during the primary
You think Bernie ever had a chance against trump? What world do some of you people live in?
I hope this speaks to everyone's heart that's been able to see this the way it has me.... Thanks for being alive
Smart, articulate and compassionate! God, do we need more of her in Congress! You go, girl!
And honest.
Shit, we need more people like that in the world.
Haha
Lynn Manyfires LORD WE REALLY DO...SOMEONE WITH HEART...
Hahahahahaha, not that smart...
These two give me hope for America.
I am from a working-class family and I can’t wait to be old enough to vote. I would definitely go for the democratic socialist party.
Ocasio-Cortez is just what America needs, and I hope she’ll someday run for the presidency.
AOC is so relatable, she even plays League of Legends!
She has so much positive energy I love her...
She’s a one term wonder. And a complete moron. As soon as her term is up she’s gone. She’s a racist and operates in la la land. 🖕
And she has no idea what she is saying. Bartender who won an audition to be a career politician, that's who you're a fan of.
@@7stargeneraldipshitdeturd529 150% that's who I am a fan of! A person that has real proposals and a clear path forward, unlike the corrupt fool that is in the Whitehouse at this moment that cant pronounced basic words. You know what is making you guys go crazy the fact that her popularity is soaring and in your feeble mind, you just can't comprehend how a Puerto Rican black woman from the Bronx is so popular... I will remember this message to reply again to you if one day she becomes president.
@@thelastrebelshow1627 You are insane and part of what is destroying the United States of America... You are the few and once the electoral college is abolished the likes of you won't see power again in a generation.
eblgraphics Isn't she being investigated for stealing about $1M of campaign contributions within her 1st year in office? Not a good start even for a career politician. She said she had to scrub toilets to help pay bills as a kid when in reality she grew up in a GATED COMMUNITY FULL OF MILLIONAIRES! How much more evidence do you need she is an outright manipulator and not even a smart one? Please just stop playing politics and look into why everyone is laughing at the Green Deal nonsense. You're all being played with like puppets and so is AOC. God you Americans are thick these days.
My goodness 28 yrs old, I can only begin to imagine all the great she'll do and push for at 40!
Frank Roth And you'd know this because let me guess you never leave the bar?? I think all those beers you've consumed have destroyed the little brain cells you had left Frank, if indeed you think like that. The "public" you say.....lmao
Frank Roth Si, yo si tu echas mentiras!
Frank Roth 👅✍️🕳️🙄🐯🐊🥀🍃🕗👉👉🍗🍕🍗🍝👋🗽🌃⚓🗿🎣⚠️🚭🚭🚭🚬⚰️⚠️⚠️⚠️
Hehehe
She'll be dead before she reaches 40
It’s nice to listen to an educated politician who actually paid attention in school and to the world around her. Pleas run for president when you are older. Sadly boomers hate her cause a large portion are scared of socialist ideas due to PTSD from the Cold War. Aka my parents and their friends
There is some good reasons for being scared of socialism. It has never worked anywhere
She's the leader US deservers and needs.
Such an intelligent, compassionate, thoughtful person.
That's why Trump and the ultra rich fear her because she's intelligent, compassionate and thoughtful.
@@davidunger7872 how mature of you
@@wagcat64 she just said that 200 million people as she said 40% make less than 20k a year... the US population is 330 million how tf is 200 million 40% of 330 million.
my god, whats wrong with you
She's the ideal politician with logic and truth
She's not a politician, she's a stateswoman.
She ideal alright, dumb and corrupted.😂😂😂😂
She has no idea what she is doing
@@dantasticmania8728 wut?
@@landonheywood9030 plz enlighten us and explain
I finally see someone in politics I can relate to! Well said!
She speaks clearly and everything she says has a point. Unlike a lot of other politicians who take people for a ride by using such a convoluted manner of speaking to confuse people. She's relatable, and I really do hope she runs for President one day!
Every single time I hear the words “tuition free public college” my whole body gets chills and i tear up a little. I’m a high school senior about to sign up for $100,000 of student debt and i can’t even fathom it.
Kate I sure hope you don’t make that commitment without having a career that’s able repay those debts.
People should be able to go learn even without it having a financial pay off 🤷🏻♀️
Assh Scott that’s certainly the way it is right now.
@@JeepCherokeeful duh and I'm saying it shouldn't be😂
Assh Scott I mean no one is stopping you from learning right now!
I love her. Hope she wins the seat.
She will, but you should also check out Kaniela Ing, Cynthia Nixon, Zephyr Teachout, Emily Sirota, Abdul El-Sayed, Ben Jealous, Kerri Harris, James Thompson, Brent Welder, Kevin DeLeon. It's an inspiring movement to make America more prosperous and it's much bigger than just AOC
Norma Jean + the audience are amazing. They were quietly glued to what she was saying.
Hey There thank you for sharing those names people need to be informed on the progressive side of politics via watching online news like TYT secular talk. Rational national and alot more ... people are being stuck on mainstream media like cnn fox and MSNBC and those guys are not talking I mean at alllll what going on on the progressive side ... I knew about alexandria a year before she got elected and I wasnt to surprised when she won the primaries
Well Yea tyt? Hahaha I love reading the comment section on here
@Norma Jean Joe Crowley's trying to pull shenanigans with that Working Families Party stunt but it won't work.
She's WAY too popular now. She can FAR outraise him & outfund him now. Will be able to get as many people on the ground to ensure her victory now that she has *825,000 Twitter Followers* & rapidly counting at the time of this posting August 14, 2018.
As for the Republican in that race Anthony Pappas, he hasn't even put up a proper website for his campaign & has not even raised any funds for his race. The real contest is Alexandria vs. Crowley once again to make sure he doesn't sneak in from 3rd Party.
And she will win. You simply can't submerge a National Star. They wanna see this woman become President one day.
Ain't no way they're gonna let Joe Crowley steal it from her like that.
People always ask how are you going to pay for medical and raise minimum wage. There’s so much money being stolen by the 1%. Just a fraction of that money is enough to keep Americans from dying. This always baffled me.
When she says, “Periodt.”
She's on her game. If an older Bernie scares the shit out of the establishment a younger Alexandria should terrify them.
pR1mal An older Bernie doesn't scare anyone. It's a stupid Bernie that people have a problem with, this woman clearly isn't stupid.
You should check out and support Kaniela Ing, Cynthia Nixon, Zephyr Teachout, Emily Sirota, Abdul El-Sayed, Ben Jealous Kerri Harris, Stacey Abrams, James Thompson, Brent Welder and Kevin DeLeon. And then let's elect Bernie in 2020. Make sure to donate and volunteer if you can! Don't just sit on the sidelines
The only person Bernie scared was Hillary. Trump was waiting for him with a fresh Trojan (ribbed for his enjoyment).
They are pissing their pants - with laughter.
She answered every single question perfectly. Really, perfectly. Trevor Noah has been for more than a while the best interviewer in TV and the net. Strong words, but all true.
There is this spirit of courage in her that shows her knowledge and understanding the role she is to play in the Congress, truly informed and formed visionary
I love how the interview ended. PERIOD. Like yes, points made.
I was at the rally in Wichita, KS. It was the first political rally I've ever been to & it was AWESOME!!!!
try provide someone with constructive criticism if you think they are wrong, or else you're wasting your internet ink.
Please triple check that you (or anyone able to vote if you can't) are registered as a Democrat to vote for Brent Welder in the upcoming primary. Its great to be excited but excitement means nothing without votes.
Dana Moore.
I really like her too. Smart, young, not rich.
Articulate.
Trump Thumpers are very against her.....wonder why that is 🤔
Salterino Kripperino us "lunatics" refer to them as group sessions...but how do those klan rallies feel? 😂
Daisy Elmir she's a dark female.
I'm actually from the Midwest, I can guarantee she is not scaring us away. LOVE HER :)
Yes.
But, she's gonna crack under pressure.
@@lordzeus2652 That's an opinion anyone could have about anyone. FACT: she's literally working towards bettering the lives of ALL people.
So why all the hate?
@@sarahestrada3211 It's not hate. It's an honest observation. She doesn't have the "under pressure" skills yet. And, if she's goes up against someone like Trump, it won't be easy. As much as people want to paint him as an idiot, you hafta remember that he's not where he is by accident whether you like him or not, or that he has had some failures, as he's had way many more successes. Seriously, make fun of him all you want. Point out that he's done shady stuff. BUT, if you don't get taken out of the game, then you have game. Just gotta understand that.
@@lordzeus2652 - "Point out that he's done shady stuff."
As soon as you're done with that bucket of whitewash, you can collect your trophy for Understatement of the Year.
AOC is a warrior!!! I loved this interview!! Thank you, Trevor!
This is what an interview should be. A respectful host offering thoughtful questions, and a genuine guest giving honest answers.
Forget about electing her for Congress. She should be the next president. Her heart and mind is in the right place. We need more people like her. It is not socialism to take care of your own people by providing everyone with health care and quality education. These things should not be only for a privilege few but must be made available for all. A healthy and well educated citizenry is what we need to make this country great again.
@Nenette Santos - Obama had his heart and mind in the right place, and he even had experience as a community organizer (not to mention a law degree, intelligence, etc), yet he had a really hard time rallying the _Democrat controlled congress_ in his first 2 years. I genuinely believe this was simply due to his lack of actual political experience at such a large scale. AOC gives me _even more hope_ than Obama did, but please, let her have some hands on experience so she can build alliances and learn the necessary negation skills, to be successful, before considering her for POTUS.
Congress is more important since the Pres is only around for 2 terms while Congress usually sticks around for a longer time
Basketball4life U.S. unfortunately is controlled largely by special interest groups who provide campaign funds to politicians. So if people like her would run for office without using money coming from those special interest groups, then the people's best interest will be given top priority instead of what the rich and the businesses want.
Nenette Santos It can’t happen right away. Remember you need to be at least 35 to even qualify for president.
James, so you just go to videos like this, complain and start attacking people directly, huh. Hows that working out for yah? Does it feel good? Yah, changing hearts and minds over there?
I love the way she has white supremacists shaking in there boots!!!
She's a normal regular human being...LIKE MOST OF US AMERICANS!!
Me, a European: wait, you guys don’t have that covered by government? Crazy
I need Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in every country.
