Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC)

I understand that Vice President Vance believes that shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not.

And that is a fundamental difference between Vice President Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

Thank you.

The Vice President-

Do you believe you should be arrested, the officer involved?

They need to pick up a phone. They're saying that they're doing all this work. They are twiddling their thumbs and talking to each other. It is actually an unconscionable abdication and refusal to work.

They refuse... I've never seen people who hate working so much in my life. I mean, genuinely. They won't even pick up the phone. If I were Mike Johnson, you should be in that office negotiating with Hakeem Jeffries every damn day until we reopen this government. And any day that you don't do that is a failure. It is a failure. And until there is accountability for people who refuse to work...

to work, then we're going to continue to be in this cycle. So, you know, in the Senate, the Senate majority leader is John Thune. He should be negotiating with Chuck Schumer. President Trump should be having congressional leaders in the White House. Do you see that every day? No, you don't, because they're playing golf and they're going to Mar-a-Lago and the House and Republicans in the House have been on vacation for weeks now.

Olemme täällä Washingtonissa. Olemme valmiita työskennellä. Olemme valmiita rajoittamaan ratkaisua. Emme ole täällä, jotta olemme vain minun puolestani koko ajan. Mutta emme välttämättä välttämättä välttämättä välttämättä välttämättä välttämättä täyttää Amerikkalaisen terveydenhuoltoa, koska republikaanit ovat päättäneet ottaa miljoonaa kansalaisia työttömyyttä.

Right now House Democrats are in Washington D.C. Senate Democrats are in Washington D.C. Even Senate Republicans, I believe, are still in Washington D.C. The only people who are not in Washington D.C. are the over 200 elected Republicans in the House of Representatives. Because Speaker of the House Mike Johnson refuses to call the House in session.

He refuse to also see Adelita Grijalva, because they want to prevent the 218th signature on release of the Epstein files as well. Can I ask you on that, because Speaker Johnson was asked about that today, and he said it has nothing to do with that, so she can have all the pomp and circumstance that is afforded to most members when they're sworn in. You don't believe that? No, Mike Johnson has sworn in several members, Republican members, in pro forma sessions. He understands that the importance

of this country, the importance of representation, is not about pomp and circumstance. And in fact, it's not just about Representative Grijalva, it's about the over 700,000 people in the state of Arizona, veterans, seniors, teachers, students,

who do not have anyone to call in an emergency because their elected representative that has been certified at municipal, state and the federal level with federal acknowledgement, he refuses to seat a duly elected official here in the House of Representatives. So we have a lot of...

which this administration is targeting in some of these infrastructure cancellations. Some of the projects that they have cancelled have been large-scale wind energy projects. And again, they think this is a democratic priority, right, because it's wind energy. But this is energy, period.

In New York State, Con Ed bills, that's our energy utility, Con Ed bills are set to go up almost another hundred dollars next year because of those cancellations. That's affecting, and it's jacking up the prices in Mike Lawler's district,

in Nicola Malliotakis' district, in Republican districts across the state. It is affecting, and they are jacking up the prices on MAGA voters too. It is killing all of us. And so while they think that sabotaging energy projects in this country, which by the way, oil and gas, much more volatile, that goes up and down all the time,

Once again, this administration is making a foolish mistake by saying that they think that investments in housing and in energy are so-called democrat priorities. Cutting the EPA as a democrat priority. You know what this country looked like before the EPA? Rivers in rural areas were on fire because of corporations poisoning.

The people who lived in those areas, poor middle class communities, getting poisoned and dumped on by corporations like Deloitte and 3M pouring chemicals into these places. And they want to call it a democratic priority.

That's why they want to eliminate the FDA. You're damn right that it's a democratic priority to keep people from getting poisoned, from identifying dangerous chemicals that are being dumped and causing cancer in people without their knowledge. You're damn right that it's a democratic priority to bring down the cost of housing.

Se on ihan oikein, että se on demokratiaalinen prioriteetti, jotta saadaan ihmisiä saavutettavaksi amerikkalaisen unelman. Jos he haluavat sanoa, että se on demokratiaalinen prioriteetti, he ovat oikeassa. He tarkoittavat meitä kaikki. Mielestäni on tärkeää muistaa, että nämä prioriteettit eivät välttämättä ole partisaalisia.
