Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Talks to Glenn Greenwald About the Democratic Party and 2018 Midterms
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 окт 2024
- House candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez talks to Glenn Greenwald about the need for Democratic Party reform, her views on immigration and criminal justice reform, her approach to “identity politics,” why she has taken such unusually blunt positions on Israel and Palestine, and the challenges of running against a machine boss politician.
Her Democratic opponent, Rep. Joseph Crowley, has been in the U.S. House of Representatives since 1999. It has been 14 years since Crowley has faced a primary challenge, thus receiving the Democratic Party nomination automatically every two years since 2004.
Crowley has become the classic New York machine boss, having obtained both his 1990s seat on the New York City Council and his seat in Congress through a combination of dynastic politics and machine favors. But for the people of the 14th Congressional District that Crowley represents - which covers parts of Queens and the Bronx and is 70 percent nonwhite - it means they have had no Democratic Party alternative in this Democratic safe district for more than a decade.
All of that changed this year as a result of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, whose primary challenge against Crowley has sparked substantial excitement within her district and, then, media attention throughout the country.
Can a 28-year-old Democratic Socialist pull of one of the rarest feats in U.S. politics: beating an entrenched incumbent in a Democratic Party primary?

So proud she won, donated to her from Oregon! Congratulations to her and the PEOPLE!
She is so honest and all about helping ALL people. She is also so smart , articulate and well versed in the politics of the day. It's so wonderful to see this happening! Peace to you!
Scot Campbell You're a good man!👌
sheehan1able You can make up any lie because you are on the internet. You're a liar just like your President!
Peace starts with your thoughts and the condition of your life right now is a result of all the thoughts you have had up this point in your life. No one is responsible for your condition except you.
She is fantastic! A breath of fresh air for our deeply corrupt political system, Justice democrats is the wave of the future and we are making great progress. I am so inspired and proud that I am a Justice Democrat! We are creating a brand new way and moving forward. This is wonderful. I am so proud I donated to her.
What a Wonderful Candidate!!!
I'm from EU. I'd vote for her if I could
@TT You must be fun at parties. Aloha.
TipoJ M you are ignorant
She's a two faced joke. Look into her background. She was NOT from a poor upbringing at all. Hell, she grew up in one of the most exclusive parts in the country. She will get chewed up and spit out by the Dem establishment.
Wow! What a wonderful interview and what a wonderful candidate Alexandria is!! We need more like her! I lived in Forest Hills as a child and if I lived there now I would be so happy to vote for her!! I'm sharing this everywhere and donating to her campaign today.
Amy Whitman
Maybe you are the one for the district you are living in. Or there is someone you like to support like Alexandria
Amy Whitman go and read her party’s website where they say they want to take over private industry. She’s a politician and sounds nice but she’s a radical type socialist not a European socialist .
The little actress has shown her true colours. Pretending to be working class when she’s clearly from a middle class background. Not trustworthy as all has been revealed.
@@rosie8126Funny to read something I wrote about her 4 years ago! We had such high hopes for her back then. I was also a volunteer on Bernie's campaign. NOW? I have ZERO interest in either one of them!
I would pay thousands of dollars to see Hillary Clinton interviewed by a real journalist like Glenn Greenwald.
Never happen. If they can't control the narrative, they want no part of it. You can't pay them enough to change that.
It would take hundreds of thousands
400k for an hour that you cant post on the internet
Change.org petition! Do it! I’d sign the petition
She's spent millions to prevent it.
Alexandria is not only a top-notch candidate but a smart and compassionate person as well. Our country needs so many more of her running for office and eventually winning. She is a treasure.
She's a joke. Anyone who cannot see that has no clue how the economy works.
Brad Mitchell she's a treasure for republicans.. we love the fact that she's running in the general election in november against someone more qualified.
Kevin T the opposite of trump, except for everything she's running on like not taking money from pacs
Cuddly Me she only has a BS from Boston university.. Her opponent in November has a bachelor's, 2 masters, and a doctorate lmao... if she wins, her district is purely dumb.
When people don't fall for Clinton bullshit anymore, the Dems come up with Cortez bullshit. The rulers always give people what they want. But it's too good to be true. the USA is in such a psychotic mess that they cannot manage to come up with something better than Trump. Until they learn to see Trump in themselves, they will continue to be fooled. Until the solution comes from the outside, as it always does when people refuse to look inside.
Alexandria is 100% correct on this. Super delegates and neoliberalism are the reason we have Trump. And I'll take Bernie's democratic socialism over Trump's neofascism any day. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez 2018
Here here
So what the fuck is the logic there? Superdelegates are the problem, so she decided to run in the only party with superdelegates??
How is Trump neofascist
Look up the definition. Follow how he participates in politics. And you'll have your answer. If you're genuinely questioning it to learn, then I encourage you to do the above. IF you're a Trump supporter and don't think he's neofascist, then you're very lost. We need people like you to realize that Trump pulled the wool over eyes.
Lol it's so cute when right wingers are so ignorant that they project it to others. Everything (well, almost everything) Trump does is in a neofascist manner. He LOVES dictators, and undoubtedly would love to become one. It's who he is. And will you right wingers ever get better comebacks than "liberal snowflake?" It's so lame. Leftists actually want to help the average American. Trump is the king of the swamp, yet you Trumptards are too blind/cultish to even see it. But have fun being in your little neofascist cult, as you claim "the others" are the ones devoid of facts. Your head is so far up your (and Trump's) ass that you seem simply too far gone.
She won!!! ✌️☺️
She hasn't been elected yet, even though she runs around saying she has. She has only won the primary against a democrat who dropped out of race lmao she might get elected but she hasn't won yet
Yes she did!

We lost!!!
Wow, an actual hopeful representative who understands what the majority of citizens want
The majority of Americans want stricter gun laws, and the STRONG majority of Americans also want affordable healthcare and a sustainable minimum wage raise. The future is absolutely progressive. Look at the data of voters under the age of 30... conservatism is in its final act, and it's a disgusting one at that.
Sir Alfred Lawrence - Well if you're hoping it's a joke, you're hoplessly out of touch. It will take longer than a sound bite or a fast food order but a progressive political revolution is underway and will wipe out the waste that is our current political structure. Maybe 2 or three cycles.
Jack is a Soy boy loser who is out of touch with the actual public. Yeah, people want free healthcare, cuz they are lazy ass bums who dont want to pay for their own health problems.
FUCK THEM!!! They eat taco bell everyday. FUCK THEM. They treat their bodys like disposable items and wonder why they are fat and have heart disease. FUCK THEM.
The future is not progressive, its conservative. Learn to eat less sugar, guess what? thats called being conservative. Dont be Liberal with your sugar intake, discriminate against sugar and you wont be so fucking fat.
I agree that the future is more progressive, but lets face it, Trump is going to win again in 2020. Mark my words lmao XD
Jack Ham she is so beautiful
Benevolent ideas i like it, it is nice to see benevolence in this malevolent country we live in i want more benevolent people in the Senate.
Toby Henderson you are almost on point except some key factors!
Never tie any concepts gender unless they are concepts based on gender such as the word gender, women and men can both commit act of benevolence and malevolent.
And virtues are a code of ethics that are based around benevolence the concept benevolence is to do acts of kindness virtues a are a list of actions that can lead to doing acts of kindness!
My favorite of the virtues is compassion I am not sure how good i am at the humility I think i would rate myself a C- on that one.
Alexandria is a intellectual black belt. This voice must be sent to Congress!
lol
She is moronic.
Doug Hilton no you’re moronic lol. Explain exactly what are wrong with her ideas and I’ll destroy you when I explain her ideas are perfectly sensible intelligent ideas you unbelievable fuckin toolbox
good script ocasio cotex
Black belt in idiocy
When is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez going to run for President? Thanks for having her!
Say what no one in there right mind would vote for this wannabe
I’m from Puuuuerrrrrto Riiiiccccccooooo .... but it’s the only word I accentuate with a Spanish accent Ocasio-Cortez.
2024 she will be old enough to run
@@youtuber6185 Because it's the only word that is spanish, dumbass.
You voting for socialism or voting cause of a physical cultural trait?
Thank you Glenn Greenwald and The Intercept for giving this amazing woman a platform.
Let's hope Amy Goodman and Democracy Now! has her on also.
She's been on the Jimmy Dore Show👍
Wow Jimmy Derrr Show. She got on the left's version of Glenn Beck, whoopee. The American left isn't full of extremist wack jobs like the right so if anything, it might hurt her chances getting on a conspiracy theorist's show. But she's been on several progressive media outlets. Jimmy Derr is the last one to brag about.
Amy Goodman has been compromised. Pacifica was bought by NeoLiberals, and her reporting has changed. She stopped giving Jill a voice in2016, and recommended voting Yes on the corporate takeover of the cannabis industry in CA. Prop 64 is bankrupting tens of thousands of farmers, and the communities they live in. It was bankrolled by the Napster guy, and is paving the way for Monsanto to take over the Hemp Industry. Surely Amy knows all this, but stays silent, to satisfy her owners
I heard Amy recently say "pacifica" (in the intro) and didn't know the term (a location?). - I think they are biased regarding Syria (some gulf money ?). - I mean they are still much, much better than the MSM - it is just that one needs to know which network has which weaknesses.
In the end the bills must be paid. - I wish the government would allocate each citizen some form of vouchers (could be in form of an alternative currency) and they citizens can donate it to whatever outlet they want.
One could do the same for political parties. (again vouchers that are earmarked).
Well said twice, I wonder if the R icky & Tara have a driver's license issued from Langley.
Don't stop! Don"t ever stop! Love you
Tyler how about sharing the kool-aid in your mug.
Elect this lady ASAP.
Twirlip Of The Mists Except her ideas are progressive so the DNC wouldn’t back her. She sounds like Bernie.
she mentions blackstone. i worked for a tribal casino and they were baking all of our 401ks
IDIOT
Socialist confirmed! I'd love to vote for her but I don't know her position on abortion.
Zr M
I love that she defeated idiot Crowley. Her socialist agenda is not going to see the light of the day, I don't even worry about her or Benny Sanders. This will send shivers down these tired legs democrats' spines.
She won.
Who is here after the Jimmy dore interview!!?
Me. It's painful to watch this, knowing how she'll change from then.
@@Nominay ya I had forgotten how exciting of a candidate she was during her campaign :(
@@Yupyoubetcha I thought she was the best thing since JFK.
@@Nominay How has she changed? I don't follow her that closely, but I generally agree with everything she says, and haven't noticed her change. I have noticed that as she gained popularity, conservative criticism of her increased in frequency to counter her popularity, but that criticism has always been shallow and transparent.
@@Barstool1979 Scroll to the 10-45 mark in this link: ruclips.net/video/uvh59z_8g2I/видео.html
I'd vote for this young woman in HALF a heartbeat. She has a CREATIVE, not DESTRUCTIVE agendas.
Hahaha.
She supports nuclear war in October 2022.
You were saying ?
Your foresight was amazing.
Too bad she didn’t hold up her end of the bargain.
I'm here after Glenn mentioned this interview on the Tim Dillon Show.
Me too!
She really is different. She sold out a long time ago.
Future is bright with her and great interview!
this is the death of the nation, sadly you don't see it.
She represents new progressive values that America so badly in need of today more than ever. Hope she makes it for the good of America !!!
Uday Bhaskar “Progressive” is code for socialist/communist. It worked so well in Venezuela. It destroyed Brazil. Brazil is in a worse economic crisis then the U.S. during the Great Depression. They got there by voting for candidates like her.
@Cup Cake - LOL, no, you fall for the same bullshit as the people you condemn. It is actually telling that the "socialist" label so quickly turned into "progressive", as if that hasn't been a Demoncrap label for ages. I look through the comment section and read "progressive" everywhere, but not "socialist". That's because Sanders and Cortez are still the problem, still a deception/delusion scheme. Controlled opposition. You are ALL fucked. External forces will do the parenting and be the nemesis. All chances for an internal solution have been missed, shunned.
It is about time the US adopts progressive values which have existed in European countries for decades and some cases, well over a century (Example = Germany initiated the firs steps towards universal health care in 1871 under Bismarck)
Uday you're as dumb as this lady
@@cupcake8867 You seem to be very knowledgeable, God bless you...and America....!!
Congratulations Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez!!!!
This interview was visionary. Thank you for paying attention to Alexandria before the big networks did.
It sure was "visionary." 🤣
@@dabrupro Exactly LOL what a hack! Pray for Peace
It’s good to have gotten her on the record so she can be shown now how much she has diverged.
She's good. She has a great future.
She is naive nearly beyond belief. The fact she was elevated to a position of power is a symbol of our deteriorating society.
She is FANTASTIC. I suppose that it's wrong to make comparisons but in this case I need to make the exception - I've never heard nor could ever imagine Sarah Palin or Michele Bachmann articulate their case for their Tea Party movement's cause nearly as fluently. It's critically important that a cause's or position's spokesperson or be humble, intelligent, informed, above reproach and articulate as was the case with the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The character and integrity of the messenger means everything but noting that also in no way intends to condemn the persons named above. Thank you.
@@DDEENY I have watched her drown in far too many interviews. She is clueless about anything her team hasn't briefed her on recently. This is why you don't elect young bartenders that don't have any life experience. This neuvo nonsense that children know better than their elders is for the intellectually unfortunate.
Ken Hiett like how you elevated Trump. If Cortez is naive, you must be naive AND dumb.
@Shoestring Tom Some of the most knowledgeable and intelligent people I know have names followed by post-nominals earned at highly respected institutions. On the contrary, some of the most intellectually deficient and ideologically dysfunctional people I known have names followed by post-nominals earned at highly respected institutions.
Unfortunately for Ocasio-Cortez, we have a history of her own moronic words and actions during her tenure in Congress. I would share a list if it wasn't longer than John Dillinger's rap sheet.
Appealing to authority is never a valid argument.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!
Ocasio-Cortez's brilliant mind and gutsy earnestness inspire trust and respect.
She is not this person now. Corrupt. She practiced these answers even without the questions.. Listen to her now. Clueless
She is a BOSS!
bawse
Very Well Informed and Smart answers to challenging questions. She is very clear on her politics so this interview will hold true for her in the future hopefully a bright one
gave a small amount to this phenomenal candidate-native New Yorker but do not live there anymore
A future presidential candidate for sure
Philip Wingfield one day. Dont put the cart in front of the horse.
let's hope so. then republicans can have more time to make america great
of what country?
100 % for sure, she became ( a kind of Bernie and Elizabeth ) one of the greatest thinkers of Modern & Humane American Democracy in 21 Century and forever …
Agree!
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, now the Democratic nominee for NY's 14th district! I am so elated that she showed corrupt Joe Crowley the door, and resoundingly so. This is big. She has shown progressive candidates how to win tough primary races. It's about connecting directly with the grassroots and making sure they know about your policy ideas, exactly what you'll be fighting for if elected. Congratulations Rep. Ocasio-Cortez!
The future ‘First Latina President of the United States of America’
First woman president, first latin president and youngest ever elected president. AOC2024!
Tell that to White House Barbie Doll Ivanka, who had planned to be the first female POTUS - I guess she would exchange Daddy's hair for an orange jump suit.
Never!
CNN, MSNBC take note. This is how you are supposed to conduct an interview.
She did it!! 1 down...
Dang, NY sounds very undemocratic. I hope she wins. If you're in NY, please spread the word about Alexandria Cortez.
What a leader!!!! I love you
what an intelligent and well-spoken woman, it says a lot about the state of political system that a dud like Crowley still has the upper hand in this race
Max Fiedler can't always trust those pre-election polls. she won by a landslide.
Who's here because of Tim Dillon and Glenn Greenwald? Wow has she changed in 3 years!!!
Inspirational. In a normal world this shouldn't be a contest. The corrupt incumbent versus a real life, local, extremely intelligent progressive challenger?
This comment did not age well
Didn’t age well. It aged wonderfully

As a Norwegian who follows US politics its really refreshing to see someone like Alexandria rise up to the established regime of politicians, it is really strange to me to se how far away from the main american the politicians are in your country....
I was thinking of moving abroad. I'm so embarrassed about américa. Even after the Panama and Paradise pApers. We see their corruption and we just have to take it. I didn't even file taxes this year
@@ShangaMcnair And that's why a 28 year girl from the Bronx can exact change in her district and now in Congress.....she didn't runaway she's advocating change in politics. You can't change anything you don't like by running away to another country where they would look at you like...What?
I love what you have to say....so far in 100% agreement on views.
buenisima suerte hermana ! we need people like you.
By far the most coherent Democrat out there.
I am glad to hear a young, articulate and intelligent, lady with moral commitment running for office. Best wishes.
Amazing energy!!! I love her l love her...
Ro Khanna must ONLY endorse her!
In the end, he lacked either the balls or the values to stand up to Joe Crowley.
And now she's going to be a Congresswoman anyway : )
So Crowley doesn't even LIVE in this district. But Ro Khanna thinks he's the better candidate?
Damn! I wish she were running in my district. This really was a refreshing interview.
Great interview. Congrats Ms Ocasio-Cortez!
What as thrilling interview ^^ a promiseful well spoken policy-driven uncorrupt (as far as I know) politician, and one of the best journalist world wide :) I wish it a the start of the progressive wins across America.... and the world
Alexandra ocasio cortez is brilliant. So smart congress woman. She is doing good job in the congress. Thanks you Alexandra for fighting for us
I REALLY LOVE THIS LADY SHE REALLY KNOWS HER STUFF OPEN HONEST KNOWLEDGABLE
Charly Sue
She DOES seem to know her "stuff" - really well...barring foreign policy. She has NO CLUE about Gaza/Israel & should have kept her mouth shut. It's NOT a black & white humanitarian issue when you're dealing with terrorists. Maybe some homework....
Fool, she is not knowledgeable....
Congratulations Ms Cortez. thank you Mr Greenwald for helping her
Alexandria is the most amazing person I've seen in politics.
Great interview, great candidate!
Glen - can you do a follow-up interview after her win?
She makes me hopeful again! To see someone so eloquent, level-headed and humane gaining a foothold in politics!
You must be crushed how she turned out.
I respect this "true" journalist!✌
*Gorgeous!*
She won! Wahoo!
Excellent!
Thank you for covering AOC. She's a vote in the right path.
I freaking love this woman!! I hope that she kicks Joe Crowley's ass in the primary!
Awesome...iam so late..but i still voted for you Alec
Congrats, Ms Ocasio-Cortez!
She will be in congress soon along with other justice democrats, this is wonderful!
This little latino hammer hits the nails right on their heads! She's the rep I always wanted
Thank You both of you stellar intellectuals!^^ xo
This entire interview has aged like milk.
yeah Glenn went fucking crazy
Glenn is the man. Are you one of those people who sees Russians under your bed at night?
I still like both of them. I guess most people would rather pick a tribe, but they both have something to offer.
I wish she was a representative of Florida
Bet you don't now
Love her.. We need someone like her to get these old incumbents out. (maxine waters.. cough)
thumbs up x one million
great lady...
I am so pleased she won! Now on to Washington! GREAT NEWS!!!
An impressive candidate. I hope she wins.
what chat app did y'all use to record this? Good video quality and sound. Need this.
good interview. I hope she wins, we need fresh minds and faces
As a conservative, I'm impressed.
She's an intellectual ninja, she's beautiful and speaking to the abandoned majority. Prescient interview Glen
Nathan Scott Shoemaker Really?
This was amazing. Glenn FINALLY met his equal !!!! God bless them both !!!
Great interview. Thanks
Brilliant bold progressive. Amazing.
Ahhhhh, wouldn't be a Greenwald interview without 20 dog in the background. :-----)
No matter what happens tomorrow, we need you to stay in the game, Alexandria!! And btw Centrist Machine, there will always be more and more Alexandrias coming up and you can't get rid of this movement.
Where has she gone now? This woman is not evident today
what a disappointment she turned out to be
Thanks for this.
We did it TYT fam! Wolf Pac, Justice Dems, etc. WE DID IT!
I'm 65yrs old white male and I totally support Alexandria Ocasio Cortez Go progressive from Vietnam VET
All talk no action
💜Glenn💜
I appreciate the questions u asked.
This lady has it together. She speaks about the issues, she will be heard for many years. This country needs more voices like her.
Intelligent questions and intelligent answers. Refreshing.
This lady is too smart, too beautiful, and too articulate for this corrupt system. I would love to see her win. Sadly, I doubt it will happen. The forces of established power will crush her. She's obviously tough and a threat to the present structure, and if she can survive and persist, she could be a capable leader. But the overall future is so uncertain, it's probably just wishful thinking on my part...
Fortunately she won!!
She is doing it! With the help of the people, not corporations. It's good to be with the people and not having to choosee between the same old corporate backed politicians that don't care about people. THIS IS REAL CHANGE! So excited about what's going on!
I like her. Actually seems like a real person.
What a good journalist, congratulations for this astonishing interview.
Wow an informed eloquent politician that has an in-depth understanding of Americans political landscape, who cares about age a bumbling fool doesn’t become wise because they are over 50 just as being under 30 doesn’t make a person politically naive. She is by far more informed than many American Presidents, and you can tell this simply by her comments about addressing the issues by addressing causes not trying to squash the symptoms by force.
She is so insightful. I could see her as president, right now!
She just won!
