LOOKS LIKE THE STOCK WILL BE UP
BIG TOMORROW.
MELISSA: BLASTING CAPITALISM.
CONGRESSWOMAN ALEXANDRIA
OCASIO-CORTEZ IS TAKING HER
ATTACKS ONE STEP FURTHER.
TAKE A LISTEN TO THIS.
>> THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS
CONCENTRATION OF CAPITOL.
IT MEANS THAT WE SEEK AND
PRIORITIZE PROFIT AND THE
ACCUMULATION OF MONEY ABOVE ALL
ELSE AND WE SEEK IT AT ANY HUMAN
AND ENVIRONMENTAL COST.
THAT IS WHAT THAT MEANS.
AND TO ME THAT IDEOLOGY IS NOT
SUSTAINABLE AND CANNOT BE
REDEEMED.
WHAT WE'RE RECKONING WITH THE
CONSEQUENCES PUTTING PROFIT
ABOVE EVERYTHING ELSE IN
SOCIETY.
MELISSA: THAT WAS HER DEFINITION
OF CAPITALISM.
THAT IS WHAT SHE SAID THE
DEFINITION OF CAPITALISM IS.
JOINING TO US REACT IS DAN
HENNINGER FROM
"THE WALL STREET JOURNAL."
PART OF THE EDITORIAL TEAM AND
FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR AS WELL.
I THINK THAT SHE NEEDS A
DICTIONARY OF SOME TYPE BECAUSE
SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT CAPITALISM
IS.
IT IS, WHEN THE MEANS OF
PRODUCTION ARE IN PRIVATE HANDS
AS OPPOSED TO IN STATE HANDS OR
GOVERNMENT HANDS.
SOCIALISM VERSUS CAPITALISM.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF HER
INTERPRETATION OF WHAT SHE
THINKS CAPITALISM IS?
>> I HAVE READ THROUGH A LOT OF
THAT INTERVIEW SHE GAVE DOWN
THERE IN TEXAS.
THAT IS THE MOST COHERENT THING
SHE SAID.
AMONG OTHER THINGS SHE MARKED
THAT RONALD REAGAN'S PRESIDENCY
WAS RACIST.
FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT'S NEW
DEAL WAS RACIST.
SHE WAS ON A ROLL.
THE DANGER OF HER REMARKS ON
CAPITALISM NOT SO MUCH THAT THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS GOING TO
ADOPT ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ'S
VERSION OF SOCIALISM.
IT THAT'S I THINK A LOT OF THE
DEMOCRATS ARE INTIMIDATED BY HER
LARGE PRESENCE.
SHE WAS THE MOST POPULAR PERSON
TO APPEAR DOWN THERE AT THE
SOUTH BY SOUTHWEST CONFERENCE.
AND SO THEY BEGIN TO SORT OF
MOVE IN HER DIRECTION.
WHILE I DON'T THINK WE'LL GET
ANYONE LIKE THAT RUNNING FOR THE
PRESIDENCY, THIS WILL BE SORTED
OUT IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY,S,
THE REAL DANGER WHAT WOULD THE
NEXT DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT DO?
MELISSA: YEAH.
>> IN MANY WAYS YOU CAN REGARD
HER AS STALKING HORSE FOR
SOMEONE LIKE ELIZABETH WARREN
WHO HAS ACCOUNTABLE CAPITALISM
ACT WOULD CHARTER LARGE
CORPORATIONS, REQUIRE THEM TO
HAVE FEDERAL CHARTER OR ELECT
40% OF THE THEIR BOARD, OPEN
ELECTIONS TO WORKERS.
MELISSA: I DON'T KNOW IF
REPUBLICANS ARE POINTING OUT THE
HYPOCRISY IN HER ARGUMENT, SHE
SAYS SHE IS FOR THE PEOPLE BUT
WHAT SHE IS ADVOCATING FOR
SOCIALISM IS A GOVERNMENT
TAKEOVER OF RESOURCES.
BASICALLY A POWER GRAB FOR HER.
SHE WANTS HER AND HER FELLOW
POLITICIANS TO BE IN CHARGE OF
INDUSTRYAND AND DOLING OUT MONEY
AND GOODS AND SERVICES, HEALTH
CARE AND FOOD TO THE REST OF THE
COUNTRY.
IT'S A POWER GRAB ON HER PART.
WOULDN'T IT BE GOOD FOR PEOPLE
TO POINT THAT OUT?
SHE IS NOT A FRIEND OF THE
PEOPLE.
SHE WANTS TO BE THE BOSS AS SHE
SAID.
I'M THE BOSS.
I'M IN CHARGE?
>> WELL THAT'S, YOU KNOW, I
THINK THE BENIGN VERSION OF THAT
WAS THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
PRESIDENCY WE JUST HAD FOR EIGHT
YEARS.
I'M NOT GOING TO EQUATE
BARACK OBAMA'S PRESIDENCY WITH
ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ BUT IN
TERMS OF ITS INTENTIONS, THE
ADMINISTRATIVE STATE, THE
ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF REGULATION IT
IMPOSED ON PRIVATE SECTOR.
THE IDEA WAS THE PRIVATE SECTOR,
CAPITALISM HAS TO BE MANAGED BY
PEOPLE WHO ARE SMARTER THAN THE
PEOPLE RUNNING THESE COMPANIES.
MELISSA: YEAH.
>> THAT IS WHAT THE OBAMA
PRESIDENCY DID AND I THINK
ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ THE
RISK HERE, SHE IS MOVING THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY EVEN FURTHER IN
THAT DIRECTION SO THE
ADMINISTRATIVE STATE UNDER
PRESIDENT WARREN OR PRESIDENT
HARRIS WOULD EVEN BE BIGGER THAN
IT WAS UNDER BARACK OBAMA, WHICH
HAS SUPPRESS SIEVE EFFECT ON
PRIVATE ECONOMY.
MELISSA: THAT IS A GREAT POINT.
LISTEN WHAT SHE HAD TO SAY ABOUT
AUTOMATION AS WELL.
PLAY THAT SOUND BITE FOR US.
>> WE SHOULD NOT FEEL NERVOUS
ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE TOLLBOOTH
COLLECTOR NOT HAVING TO COLLECT
TOLLS ANYMORE.
WE SHOULD BE EXCITED BY THAT.
WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY WHERE YOU
DON'T HAVE A JOB YOU ARE LEFT TO
DIE.
MELISSA: SO SHE SAID SHE IS
SAYING WE SHOULD BE EXCITED
ABOUT AUTOMATION BECAUSE YOU
HAVE MORE TIME TO DO OTHER
THINGS.
YOU CAN BE CREATIVE, YOU CAN BE
ENTREPENEURAL.
THAT PART IS TRUE.
THEY WERE THE CONCLUSION SHE
COMES TO THE REASON WHY
EVERYBODY IS AFRAID BECAUSE IF
YOU DON'T HAVE A JOB YOU'RE JUST
LEFT TO DIE.
I'M LIKE, WHERE IS SHE LIVING.
IF ONLY THAT WERE THE CASE.
WE'RE PROPPING UP EVERYBODY
EVERYWHERE ALREADY?
>> THAT IS WHAT I MEANT ABOUT
THE INCOHERENT PARTS OF HER
TALK.
THAT IS BASICALLY DOUBLE-TALK.
NO ONE IS LEFT TO DIE.
SHE SOMEHOW HAS IN MIND THAT
EVERYBODY IN THE FUTURE IS NOT
GOING TO HAVE TO WORK.
THEY WILL BE ABLE TO SIT HOME
AND PAINTING PICTURES OR PLAYING
VIDEOGAMES.
PRESUMABLY WITH GUARANTEED
INCOME OF SORT.
THE REAL SERIOUS QUESTION,
MELISSA, WILL THIS SELL?
THIS IS SOMETHING A LOT OF
DEMOCRATS THINK THEY WILL HAVE
TO TALK ABOUT IN THE DEMOCRATIC
PRIMARIES BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE
THE PEOPLE LISTENING TO HER WANT
TO VOTE FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT
BUT THE BIG QUESTION AMONG
SERIOUS DEMOCRATS, IS THERE ANY
CHANCE THOSE SORTS OF IDEAS
