but give them a cookie and a star.
star. >> NOW HERE’S SOMETHING YOU
MIGHT NOT SEE THE EVERY DAY.
AOC AND TEXAS REPUBLICAN SENATOR
TED CRUZ JOINING FORCES.
HERE’S HOW IT HAPPENED.
AOC THINKS MEMBERS OF CONGRESS
SHOULD BECOME BANNED FROM
BECOMING LOBBYISTS AFTER THEY
LEAVE OFFICE.
LEAVE OFFICE. SENATOR CRUZ TWEETS HE AGREES.
AOC RESPONDS LET’S COSPOSER A
BILL AND CRUZ RESPONDS, YOU’RE
ON.
ON. AND THIS IS TED CRUZ, THE SAME
GUY WHO MOCKED AOC FOR NOTING
AIRPORT CROISSANTS COST ALMOST
HALF AS MUCH AS THE HOURLY WAGE
FOR PEOPLE WHO WORK AT AIRPORTS
AND BLASTED AOC’S OWN GREEN NEW
DEAL.
DEAL. >> I SUPPORT COWS.
I HOPE TO SEE PETA SUPPORTING
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY NOW THAT
THE DEMOCRATS WANT TO KILL ALL
THE COWS.
THE COWS. >> AOC WHO IS GOOD WITH DIGITAL
ORGANIZING POSTED A VIDEO SAYING
SHE’LL DO ALMOST ANYTHING TO GET
MONEY OUT OF POLITICS INCLUDING
TED CRUZ.
TED CRUZ. SHE ADDED PRAY FOR ME.
SHE’S SPENDING THE DAY
BARTENDING IN QUEENS THE SAME
JOB SHE HELD WHEN SHE WAS
RUNNING FOR CONGRESS.
SHE’S GOT THE PROMISE AGAIN TO
MAKE THIS ALL COME TOGETHER IN
ONE STORY WHICH IS GETTING MONEY
OUT.
OUT. >> THEY CALL IT WORKING CLASS
FOR A REASON.
BECAUSE YOU ARE WORKING NONSTOP.
WE’RE UP AGAINST AN OPPONENT.
HE’S TAKEN $3 MILLION PER CYCLE
FROM WALL STREET, REAL ESTATE,
AND PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES.
WE NEED TO HAVE THE COURAGE TO
STAND UP FOR WORKING PEOPLE AND
STAND UP AGAINST CORPORATE
INTERESTS.
INTERESTS. >> SO LET’S TAKE A BREAKING FROM
TRUMP AND TALK ABOUT THIS
PARTNERSHIP WITH THE PARTNERSHIP
OF OUR OWN.
LIBERTARIAN MATT WALSH OF REASON
MAGAZINE AND PROGRESSIVE LIZ
PLANK, HOST OF VOX’S
"CONSIDERATE."
"CONSIDERATE." A LOT OF PEOPLE SEE TWITTER AS
AN ENDLESS PLACE.ANGRY TIRADES
AND CLICHES.
AND CLICHES. THERE’S PLENTY OF GOOD STUFF, AS
WELL.
WELL. US THROUGH AOC WHICH MIGHT HAVE
BEEN A MOMENT TO FORCE POTENTIAL
ACTION.
ACTION. >> AOC WORKING WITH CRUZ IS LIKE
BATMAN WORKING WITH THE JOKER.
I CAN LET THE PEOPLE AT HOME
DECIDE WHO THEY FEEL IS BATMAN.
IT’S VERY SURPRISING AND VERY
SURPRISING BECAUSE IN THE
DOCUMENTARY IN THAT DOCUMENTARY
YOU PUT IN AT THE BEGINNING, YOU
SEE ONE OF HER FIRST VIRAL
MOMENTS SORT OF ON THE NATIONAL
STAGE WAS ACTUALLY GOING AFTER
TED CRUZ IN A TWEET WHERE HE WAS
GOING AFTER NET NEUTRALITY USING
THE WORD SNOWFLAKES AND SHE SAID
YOU’RE A SITTING SENATOR.
COMCAST MADE YOU X AMOUNT OF
MONEY TO PUT OUT THIS TWEET.
YOUR RECORDS ARE PUBLIC.
WE KNOW HOW MUCH MOPE YOU’RE
GETTING FROM THESE LOBBYISTS.
IT’S INTERESTING TO SEE THEM
WORK IN CONCERT TOGETHER WHEN AT
THE BEGINNING THEIR FEUD OR THEM
FEUDING WAS SUCH A POINT OF
STARDOM FOR HER.
>> MATT, I WANT TO GET YOU ON
BOTH THE POLITICS AND THE
SUBSTANCE.
SUBSTANCE. THERE’S CERTAINLY A BIPARTISAN
OR NONPARTISAN VIEW THAT THE
ABUSE OF THE LOBBYING SYSTEM IS
NOTHING LIBERAL OR CONSERVATIVE
ABOUT IT.
ABOUT IT. TO A LOT OF PEOPLE, IT’S JUST
RANCORUPTION.
RANCORUPTION. WHEN IT COMES TO CRUZ, WE WANTED
TO HAVE ON A PROMINENT SUPPORTER
OF TED CRUZ AND COULDN’T FIND
ONE.
ONE. I SAY THAT NOT TO BE MEAN.
BUT LOOK AT EVEN IN HIS OWN
PARTY.
PARTY. IT’S WELL-KNOWN.
IT’S WELL-KNOWN. WE’LL SHOW PROMINENT REPUBLICANS
WHO ALWAYS HAD PROBLEMS WITH
HIM, TOO.
HIM, TOO. TAKE A LOOK.
>> IF YOU KILL TED CRUZ ON THE
FLOOR OF THE SENATE, AND THE
TRIAL WAS IN THE SENATE, NOBODY
COULD BE CONVICT YOU.
>> LUCY FER IN THE FLESH.
I GET ALONG WITH ALMOST
EVERYBODY, BUT I HAVE NEVER
WORKED WITH A MORE MISSABLE SON
OF A [ BLEEP ].
>> EVERYBODY HATES TED.
THEY ALL HATE HIM.
FOR A LOT OF REASONS BUT THEY
ALL HATE HIM.
>> I MEAN, HE’S A -- HE STABBED
HIS BEST FRIEND IN THE SENATE IN
THE RIBS MIKE LEONE THE CRIMINAL
JUSTICE BILL IN 2016 AT A
CRUCIAL MOMENT, COMPLETELY
SURPRISED HIM.
SURPRISED HIM. YEAH, HE HAS THIS REPUTATION
THAT PRECEDES HIM.
I HATE TO BE THE GUY TO GET IN
THE MIDDLE OF A PERFECTLY NICE
AND FUN CROSS PARTISAN TWITTER
LEGISLATION.
LEGISLATION. >> DO IT.
>> DO IT. YOU ALWAYS DO SOMETHING.
>> I’M NOT SURE THIS PASSES
CONSTITUTIONAL MUSTER.
CONSTITUTIONAL MUSTER. IT ENUMERATES THE RIGHT TO
PETITION YOUR GOVERNMENT,
WHETHER YOU LIKE THE PETITIONERS
OR NOT, WHETHER THEY’RE PAID OR
NOT.
NOT. WE DON’T LIKE THEM OR MEMBERS OF
CONGRESS.
CONGRESS. WE FOUND TWO CLASSES OF PEOPLE
WE DESPISE.
WE DESPISE. LET’S PUNCH THEM SOMEHOW.
>> YOU’RE SAYING WE LIVE IN A
WORLD WHERE NOW PEOPLE SAY THE
IDEA OF LOBBYING IS A DIRTY WORD
ON THE LEFT AND THE RIGHT BUT
YOU CAN BE HE LOBBYING AS
ANTI-WAR PROTESTER.
ANTI-WAR PROTESTER. >> SIERRA CLUB.
>> YOU’RE CONCERNED ABOUT THE
SIMPLICITY OF THIS PLAN.
>> ALSO THE AOC IDEA AND THIS IS
SOMETHING PROGRESSIVES HAVE TO
LEARN EVERY GENERATION, WHEN YOU
HAVE A BIG IDEA ABOUT TELLING
BUSINESSES WHAT TO DO OR
AMERICANS WHAT TO DO, THAT IS
REGULATION.
REGULATION. THIS IS ELIZABETH WARREN IS THE
MOST ENTHUSIASTIC AND
KNOWLEDGEABLE REGULATOR RUNNING
SINCE RALPH NADER.
IF SHE GETS HER WAY, WHAT IS
THAT GOING TO DO?
THAT’S GOING TO DRIVE LOBBYISTS
IN BUSINESS.
IN BUSINESS. >> PARADOX.
>> PARADOX. >> WE ARE NOT GOING TO WANT TO
LOBBY THEIR INTERESTS.
>> WE END UP IN A PARADOX.
>> RESPONSE.
>> RESPONSE. >> I THINK YOU’RE RIGHT.
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE EVEN SAYING
IT’S TOO SIMPLISTIC TO INCREASE
SHADOW LOBBYING.
SHADOW LOBBYING. I THINK IT REVEALS THE PARADOX
OF THE AOC EFFECT THAT
REPUBLICANS SEEM TO HATE HER BUT
THEY KIND OF ARE IN AWE OF HER
AND I THINK THERE’S MORE
REPUBLICANS THAN WE THINK.
THERE’S A LOT OF COVERTLY -- I
THINK THERE’S A LOT OF ACTION
MORE COVERTLY HAPPENING IN
WASHINGTON WHERE REPUBLICANS
WANT TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH HER.
BECAUSE SHE’S POPULAR.
>> AND BRIEFLY, DON’T A LOT OF
AMERICANS LOOK AT THIS THROUGH
THE LENS OF WHO IS GOING TO
FIGHT FOR THEM AND NOT ALL THE
PARTISAN POLARRY DECISION.
>> SHE DOESN’T USE SOCIAL MEDIA
TO TALK ABOUT HEARSE BUT TO
LISTEN.
LISTEN. NOT TO JUST CONSTITUENTS BUT TO
OTHER.
OTHER. >> LIGHTNING ROUND GIVEN THAT IT
STARTED ON TWITTER, WHAT EMOJI
WOULD YOU GIVE FOR THE
LIKELIHOOD OF THE SUCCESS OF
THIS BILL?
THIS BILL? >> I DON’T THINK I CAN SAY IT ON
TELEVISION.
TELEVISION. IT’S THE.
IT’S THE. >> DON’T.
>> DON’T. >> I WON’T.
IT’S THE NOT VERY NICE EMOJI,
IT’S THE POOP EMOJI.
PROBABLY NOT.
PROBABLY NOT. >> WE HAVE TO ERASE THE 1 AFTER
THE 100 SADLY.
IT WOULDN’T BE SIGNED INTO LAW.
IF IT GOT THAT FAR IT, WOULDN’T
PASS CONSTITUTION IT MUST TER.
I AGREE, IT IS FUN AND CLEARLY
GAME RESPECT GAME WHEN IT COMES
TO SOCIAL MEDIA.
>> MATT WELSH WITH KEEPING IT
100 AND A GAME REFERENCE.
LET’S REFLECT ON THAT.
>> KIND OF.
RIGHT?
RIGHT? >> YOU’RE THE ONE WHO INVITED
US, ARI.
US, ARI. >> AND I DON’T REGRET IT ONE
