17 Oct 2025
Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hei, kuka ajaa? Mä oon juonut vain neljä. Niin me nyt sit mennään. Mitäs täällä arvotaan? Bussilla, taksilla tai selvällä kyydillä tietty. No tottakai, obviously näin. Vaikea tilanne. Helppo ratkaisu. Rattiin vain selvänä. Liikenneturva.
Herra budjettiministeri, millaisia merkkejä näette tällä hetkellä ilmassa? Ei minkäänlaisia. Sen sijaan näen erinomaisia merkkejä laduilla, kaduilla, rinteissä, siis vaikka ja missä maan päällä. Mistä ihmeestä te puhutte? Ei mistään ihmeestä, vaan Putkesportin talvialesta. Siis mitä? Mitä vaan, sieltähän ne kaikki merkit tulevat. Tarjolla on parhaita merkkituotteita jopa 60 prosentin alennuksella.
This is how it's done. MAGA-republicans like Mike Johnson and Donald Trump were just ripped to shreds by AOC on live TV. I mean, she eviscerated them for being MIA on vacation, abandoning the Capitol building while this government shutdown is taking place. This is how it's done. Watch Congresswoman AOC live last night on CNN. Let's play this clip.
Chapter 2: What did AOC say about Republican leaders during the government shutdown?
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...
Chapter 3: How does AOC criticize the work ethic of MAGA Republicans?
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.
Chapter 4: What are the implications of MAGA Republicans' absence in Washington D.C.?
Exactly, exactly. They're twiddling their thumbs. They're on vacation. What the hell are they doing, these MAGA Republicans? Here's another clip from AOC, where she says, MAGA Mike Johnson and these MAGA Republican House members, they refuse to even be here. They're like partying. What the hell are they doing? Here, play this clip.
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...
And that's how you message it, authentically, authentically, authentically. Here AOC is talking about how these MAGA Republicans are cancelling large-scale wind energy projects. And they're saying these are democratic issues, that energy is somehow democratic. This is energy, damn it.
The country needs energy. The country needs FEMA. The country needs disease control, okay? These are not democratic issues. These are issues that people need to live. Watch AOC as only AOC can do it. But people need to learn and take note. Here, play this clip. Of course. Well, you know, here's what we have to say. Not only should this infrastructure funding be released, but in New York,

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,
että he uskovat, että nämä projekteja sabotaatio on jotenkin omistamassa. Ei. AOC sanoo, että olet ihan oikein. Nämä ovat demokraattisia prioriteetteja. Olet ihan oikein, Maga Mike Johnson. Katsokaa tämän videon.
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.

Chapter 6: What is AOC's stance on bipartisan cooperation in Congress?
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.
I thought this was a particularly poignant moment where AOC talks about how these MAGA Republicans are radicalizing a generation of young boys and taking them away from healthy masculinity into this insecure masculinity. A great point that is not discussed enough. Here, play this clip.
When they talk about Republicans and their success online, they have been successful because they have also been very clear, especially digitally, about what they believe. That women are inferior. And they do not deserve equal rights. That they believe that LGBTQ Americans are subhuman. That they believe and are circulating disgusting racial,
and white supremacist messaging that they are able to get away with digitally and online. And they are able to radicalize and target and exploit a generation of young boys in particular away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker or a different gender than them.
Ja siksi he ovat online-resonantteja, koska he sopivat kaikkein vähimmäisimpiin ja huonommin osiin ihmisen luonnosta, jotta meidät jätetään yhdessä. Ja miksi meidät jätetään yhdessä? Jotta samat ihmiset, jotka omistavat niitä platformeja, ihmiset kuten Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Mark Zuckerberg,

Chapter 7: Why does AOC believe energy projects are essential for all Americans?
that these people can continue to get away with highway robbery in tax cuts and in order to fleece all of our pockets, cut our healthcare, keep our wages low so that we remain fighting amongst ourselves while they make themselves richer. And so in order for us to fight back against that, we must be clear about what we believe, have strong beliefs,
and also be completely unwilling to bow to that kind of division and stand in solidarity with one another, especially when it is someone whose culture is different from ours or whose background we may not entirely understand, but that we honor, love and see as our fellow Americans.
