Great interview, Stephen, with a great congressperson. AOC is an excellent representative to defend Democrats in congress and The White house. She embodies a sense of hope. As a fellow New Yorker, she makes me feel proud
I'm with AOC ... dems will take back the house this year. I worry what the gop will try to pull between now and when new members are sworn in in Jan 2025.

3 things... smart, woman, articulate... and the fact that she's so beautiful is just a bridge too far for them... they are like mean girls at school... can't stand someone so different than themselves...
The GOP is anti-democracy, when they publicly go humping flags. They hate education. They can't stand the government doing its job. I honestly wonder what do Republicans are thinking when they vote for them.
They say you measure yourself by the strength of your enemies...then she would be spineless and for sale cheap. Thankfully, not all 'wisdom' is wise and that saying is largely garbage fit only for bumper stickers. She's ranked just below Jon Stewart as the boogie man of establishment, old guard politicians.
It is true how one side demonize people with a different view.... by definition that is fascism and the Blue party has to be careful not to follow their lead and in return do the same thing ... AOC is a is good for Americans but not for those who use their money to buy and pay for elected officials to protect their self interests...

I think that is a possibility down the road. She needs more seasoning first, though. I very much think that the intellect is there, but she does have a lot of haters (quite unfairly, IMO). She's got her stuff together but needs more support, including a Dem majority, to better succeed.
She should be, but if Obama was any example I have my doubts about how much she will able to change things (unless she has a strongly Democrat House & Senate behind her).
@@kathydurow6814 She wouldn't let things like that stop her. Obama and Biden's problem is they were centrist Dems trying to appeal to everyone. Obama was the best President we've ever had but wasn't smart enough to understand that trying to reason with an arsonist and meeting them halfway, leaves half your things in ruin. Had he had more backbone I'd have been prouder. Republicans were literally open about trying to tank the economy to make him look bad and he hardly ever spoke about it. She is the kind of progressive leader we need. She's just as smart as anyone to ever run and has the fortitude to get things done. If they try to stop her, she will embarrass them and put their idiocy on display.
Isn't that the funniest bit? Over 500 people and the two people that freaks them out the most are the ancient tiny Italian lady and the really young former server lady. People can disagree with her politically, but really, if you view it through the lens of "if this is what you believe, and this is what you represent, how do you advocate for it?" she's incredibly effective. I mean she even does educational content online to help younger people understand the inner workings of government. We actually have someone who acts like "if your student council President actually became part of the government" who seems honest and articulate and -- a rarity among REPRESENT-a-tives -- carries water for her people instead of only being concerned with her own ego.

@@glockasauruswrex6362 Sorry, it wasn't personal, lots of commentators mentioned her looks under this video and I fail to see what one's perceived beauty has to do with their ability to do the job as a US Representative.

Voting Blue all the way. Peace ✌🏻
I'm Gen X and when a Millenial friend and colleague answered my questions with saying the student loans were predatory as were the 2007 mortgage loan industry. ohhhh! That flipped the switch on my understanding of the issue. I paid off a $3500 loan in 3 years in 2002. It doesn't sound that can happen with the interest rates of these loans!
Republicans made the student loan special so you can't even get rid of them through personal bankruptcy. They are a huge ball and chain for employees in the work force. That's why Republicans loved this. Eliminating loans will set free a lot of energy.
We have a similar issue here in the UK, although thankfully not as bad. In 2010 the government voted to increase tuition fees and it lead to a full scale riot.
AS usual you are all missing the important part: This was never about impeaching anyone. It was about sowing doubt fear and uncertainty. With the added benefit of blocking congress on anything important like Ukraine aid, etc.......
@@thegoodfight4874 Hmm, I often hear people (newspeople, politicians, YT commenters) saying Trump and the GOP and all these impeachment investigations are attempts to distract us from the real business before us. It's the reason some of the Rs have been giving for resigning from Congress lately. Maybe it depends on who you're listening to...?!?
@@DanielBarberMusic I guess. I don't watch Fox, MSNBC, or CNN because they treat current events like a partisan gossip column. I Try to stick with Reuters, Associated Press, and C-SPAN and assortment of channels for foreign affairs from channels from diplomats like secretaries of state because my job requires me to operate in nearly 2 dozen countries. I also follow some of Simon Whistler's TH-cam channels, but hey, maybe I am still uninformed in some areas.
@@thegoodfight4874 yes, this does boil down to who we mean by “anyone.” I thought the OP was generally referring to either people likely to be watching this video, or the people in the video, or just the general public. And yes, definitely true that larger news outlets and diplomatic channels would be more oriented to reporting facts and leaving things like strategic motivation to editorial boards and political commentary. Depending on the outlet, they may or may not be saying much these days about the distraction tactics, since that has been such a ubiquitous feature of our politics for so many years now. It definitely IS a problem that’s worth raising again and again, since we are so easily distractible.
That's why they defame her so much about every nonsense from the beginning. They are scared because she's what a representative for the people should be.
Student debt, is such a burden on so many, education needs to be more freely available, every society to effectively function needs free, well educated, citizens.
Those who complain about student debt cancellation and/or mitigation were never heard when the paycheck protection program passed during Covid gave business so called loans which repayment of were cancelled after a certain amount of time. These funds were supposed to go to businesses to pay their employees during the shutdown. That's NOT always what happened and a LOT of businesses simply released the workers and kept the cash which few got in trouble for!
@@kethmarhkfy7luf.263 You should maybe read the actual bill. It's not completely waiving all debt. Student loans have been predatory for a long time. Even if someone is forced to file for bankruptcy, student loans can't be included in their case. Wow.
Totally agree...most people have no idea that Israel is propagandizing to America through AIPAC and it's ALL lies just like fox entertainment putting putins propaganda LIES out there.
When they say representation matters oh my god ❤️. I am a waitress from the northeast and every time I see AOC I see myself staring back at me. I'm so proud to be a part of this moment in history. We have the first president to ever stand with workers on strike, Biden isn't the best but he sure isn't the worst. I'm so disappointed that this is even an election, and that it's going to be a tight election at that. What is going on
It's the crippling interest rates that are the problem. When you pay back what the original loan was and still owe a ton of money it's just an unending future of debt.
Oh dear. Another one who should've taken the 5 seconds required to see this was just one segment. He has to take commercials at pre-set intervals. She was on TWO more segments. One seven minutes and change and the other 4 minutes. Sixteen minutes total? He doesn't give many people that much time in the guest seat.
She is a force to be reckoned with, very informed, intelligent, and very genuine.No wonder , the Republicans are always attacking her, she's everything they are not.👍🍀
We nearly missed out on Congresswoman AOC for her to become just another doctor? Scary thought. (Yes yes doctors are important but if they're so important why do we let the AMA monopoly limit their production?)
Lady Leningrad Lindsay would do a pirouette in her sleazy ballet slippers, wearing her greasy GQP tutu. She would be doing a swan dive to her knees as she kneels before her holy Russian orangeness.
I am from the Netherlands and watched this specifically for AOC. Besides that I completely agree with her political positions, I have an incredible admiration of how articulate, simple and concise her language use is. Ive studied politics in many countries and ages all my life (ok, im not that old) and have rarely seen someone that can explain things as clearly.
She talks the talk, but unlike most Democrats she hasn't signed discharge petition 9 to actually remove speaker Johnson. Until she does she is no better than the MAGAs she is helping.
That woman is „Presidential material“. Smart, integer, progressive and more. I hope she will make her way through governmental bodies. Very squeaky voice, though😅
"A government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from this land...", as long as there are people like Representative Ocasio-Cortez to protect it.
Love love this woman. She’s not only smart as a whip, incredibly insightful and empathetic (having not lost her connection to her roots, her district) but she’s also very beautiful inside and out. I’m smitten, in case one couldn’t tell 😂

I'm Gen X and when a Millenial friend and colleague answered my questions with saying the student loans were predatory as were the 2007 mortgage loan industry. ohhhh! That flipped the switch on my understanding of the issue. I paid off a $3500 loan in 3 years in 2002. It doesn't sound that can happen with the interest rates of these loans!
I paid off a $5,000 one in 2000 and now my son is facing an $18,000 one. 😢
Republicans made the student loan special so you can't even get rid of them through personal bankruptcy.
They are a huge ball and chain for employees in the work force. That's why Republicans loved this.
Eliminating loans will set free a lot of energy.
We have a similar issue here in the UK, although thankfully not as bad. In 2010 the government voted to increase tuition fees and it lead to a full scale riot.
I worked my way through college. But that was a half century ago, back when even Republicans supported education. Not anymore.
And, Doctors leave school with loans of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Very impressive! The Democratic Party has a very long list of smart, outspoken and young leaders that are standing up and pushing back!
We need more AOCs!!!
I can't wait to vote for her for president!
##RepublicansAreTheProblem.
so damn beautiful and smart...
she's a fantastic example of humanity and I'm glad she's working for us
Everybody's beautiful in their own way. Don't be so shallow.
Her appearance is irrelevant and objectifies and diminishes an intelligent, articulate and savvy congresswoman.
AS usual you are all missing the important part: This was never about impeaching anyone. It was about sowing doubt fear and uncertainty. With the added benefit of blocking congress on anything important like Ukraine aid, etc.......
I think most all of us are aware of this.
@@DanielBarberMusic Then why doesn't anyone say it?
@@thegoodfight4874 Hmm, I often hear people (newspeople, politicians, YT commenters) saying Trump and the GOP and all these impeachment investigations are attempts to distract us from the real business before us. It's the reason some of the Rs have been giving for resigning from Congress lately.
Maybe it depends on who you're listening to...?!?
@@DanielBarberMusic I guess. I don't watch Fox, MSNBC, or CNN because they treat current events like a partisan gossip column. I Try to stick with Reuters, Associated Press, and C-SPAN and assortment of channels for foreign affairs from channels from diplomats like secretaries of state because my job requires me to operate in nearly 2 dozen countries. I also follow some of Simon Whistler's TH-cam channels, but hey, maybe I am still uninformed in some areas.
@@thegoodfight4874 yes, this does boil down to who we mean by “anyone.” I thought the OP was generally referring to either people likely to be watching this video, or the people in the video, or just the general public. And yes, definitely true that larger news outlets and diplomatic channels would be more oriented to reporting facts and leaving things like strategic motivation to editorial boards and political commentary.
Depending on the outlet, they may or may not be saying much these days about the distraction tactics, since that has been such a ubiquitous feature of our politics for so many years now. It definitely IS a problem that’s worth raising again and again, since we are so easily distractible.
JAW Dropping info! Great interview!
AOC future POTUS.
I sincerely hope so.
AOC for Speaker of the House.
That's why they defame her so much about every nonsense from the beginning. They are scared because she's what a representative for the people should be.
Can't happen.
One day for sure
Student debt, is such a burden on so many, education needs to be more freely available, every society to effectively function needs free, well educated, citizens.
Those who complain about student debt cancellation and/or mitigation were never heard when the paycheck protection program passed during Covid gave business so called loans which repayment of were cancelled after a certain amount of time. These funds were supposed to go to businesses to pay their employees during the shutdown. That's NOT always what happened and a LOT of businesses simply released the workers and kept the cash which few got in trouble for!
@@kethmarhkfy7luf.263 You should maybe read the actual bill. It's not completely waiving all debt. Student loans have been predatory for a long time. Even if someone is forced to file for bankruptcy, student loans can't be included in their case. Wow.
If America is going to complain about foreign interference and propaganda in the government, they should look into AIPAC
Totally agree...most people have no idea that Israel is propagandizing to America through AIPAC and
it's ALL lies just like fox entertainment putting putins propaganda LIES out there.
Definitely money for Israel 🇮🇱
💯💯💯
Your racism is showing.
@@DissectGibberish Whatever. 🙄
A person with high moral compass. So refreshing
When they say representation matters oh my god ❤️. I am a waitress from the northeast and every time I see AOC I see myself staring back at me. I'm so proud to be a part of this moment in history. We have the first president to ever stand with workers on strike, Biden isn't the best but he sure isn't the worst. I'm so disappointed that this is even an election, and that it's going to be a tight election at that. What is going on
Interest rates are TOO high on student loans
But they're working on it! There is hope!
Don't get one
It's the crippling interest rates that are the problem. When you pay back what the original loan was and still owe a ton of money it's just an unending future of debt.
She is a breath of fresh air
It's compound interest.
It's predatory lending.
She is just a summer sun isn't she. 😊
A summer sun at noon. So bright and clear.
She is the darkness, you bots are rediculious.
@@HighOutdoors even my doorknob knows you are lying. hateful creature.....
@@HighOutdoors what is wrong with you man.... seriously....
@CyberBeep_kenshi if you can't see how this is the true propaganda, then you're a lost cause.
The Gold Standard against which politicians, world-wide, should be measured. If only we had people of this quality in the yUK parliament.
I also wish you would. With love from a german UK lover.
Love AOC. Massively intelligent serious conversation for a late night comedy show but necessary.
Just 5 minutes? Come on Colbert! Where is the beef? AOC deserves more time than that.
Oh dear. Another one who should've taken the 5 seconds required to see this was just one segment. He has to take commercials at pre-set intervals. She was on TWO more segments. One seven minutes and change and the other 4 minutes. Sixteen minutes total? He doesn't give many people that much time in the guest seat.
A true "public servant" - love her!
This is a woman that we as Americans can be proud to have in government.
She is a force to be reckoned with, very informed, intelligent, and very genuine.No wonder , the Republicans are always attacking her, she's everything they are not.👍🍀
If only she was running for President.
We nearly missed out on Congresswoman AOC for her to become just another doctor? Scary thought.
(Yes yes doctors are important but if they're so important why do we let the AMA monopoly limit their production?)
Love this lady!
Stephen is the King of Talk Show and we love our talented AOC
Not funny- so very serious! Thank you for having AOS there to speak truth.
She's fantastic...exactly the type of leadership we need! They should have given her so much more time!!!
kind of glad she could not afford medical school she is doing great work now
I started pre-med at 38. I hope she stays in politics
I just love her! She is great, smart and not afraid to tell it like it is!
You should have her more often on your show!
The name Alexander Smirnoff sounded too much like a Russian agent for them to think he was actually a Russian agent.
Talk about drinking the Smirnoff! LOL!
Education should be free like day care, like medical. It happens in the best countries in the world.
Even though she would have made a great Dr., we're very fortunate to have her intelligence, optimism and energy in congress.
Rep Ocasio-Cortez has all the qualities of a great leader and I find her soo very arreactive..can't evon spell corectly.
AOC is the smartest, most eloquent member of congress.
I love her
Pete Buttigieg / AOC ticket would be awesome.
AOC for President!
This is really dumb. We are making more student debt daily. What are we going to do next time when it’s worse
Future president
The worst politican in congress and. History.
The “Freedom Caucus” is neither.
An aside….It’s so much fun to just say her name. So smart, critical thinker, high morals. Imagine if all politicians were embodied these traits!
Yea but just try to say her name 3 times fast! Hence, AOC. I hope I get to vote for her for President some day, she'd be a good one.
when trump is crowned will curtseying and bowing be mandatory in HIS PRESENCE and what will dear dear lindsay opt for?
The salute will be one arm raised while holding your nose with the other.
Lindsay could just stay out of Maralago
Lady Leningrad Lindsay would do a pirouette in her sleazy ballet slippers, wearing her greasy GQP tutu. She would be doing a swan dive to her knees as she kneels before her holy Russian orangeness.
This Young Woman would be the Salvation of Democracy and Positive future of the United States. Your Canadian neighbours support AOC for President.
Isn’t there someone like the beekeeper who can sort out this Russian propaganda thing?
I want to be able to vote for her for president in the not so distant future.
Beautiful.
I LOVE HER SO MUCH!! 😍💙💙
I used to love her, but now I love ice cream.
She is a 10/10 in every way
As a 47to man I was proud to do a report on her for my Uni Degree I just finished
She teared me up
I am from the Netherlands and watched this specifically for AOC. Besides that I completely agree with her political positions, I have an incredible admiration of how articulate, simple and concise her language use is. Ive studied politics in many countries and ages all my life (ok, im not that old) and have rarely seen someone that can explain things as clearly.
She talks the talk, but unlike most Democrats she hasn't signed discharge petition 9 to actually remove speaker Johnson. Until she does she is no better than the MAGAs she is helping.
She is in politik for peopel ........like Biden, Bernie,etc
Perhaps learn the language first...
That woman is „Presidential material“. Smart, integer, progressive and more. I hope she will make her way through governmental bodies. Very squeaky voice, though😅
Is so satisfying to see a young very intelligent woman involved in politics ….i wish her the best ..
Reading all these comments it's easy to see what is wrong with this country ...
The US lucked out because she could have and would have been a brain surgeon instead.
In a way...she is.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
She is a National Treasure. We need 200 more like her.
Seriously, Comer should be impeached.
If this guy or any of the maga morons had one shred of honor they would resign. Fat chance that would ever occur in a batch of liars!!😊
"A government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from this land...", as long as there are people like Representative Ocasio-Cortez to protect it.
Love love this woman. She’s not only smart as a whip, incredibly insightful and empathetic (having not lost her connection to her roots, her district) but she’s also very beautiful inside and out. I’m smitten, in case one couldn’t tell 😂
Gotta like tyla she got gut.
