♪♪ . >> Jessica: CONGRESSWOMAN ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ DEFENDING HERSELF OF THAT POCK ARREST AFTER WEARING TAX THE RICH DRESS TO A STAR STUDDED GALA THAT COST $30,000. >> OH, MY GOD, TAX THE RUSH, WHAT A MODEL AOC. I DIDN'T KNOW YOU MODEL AS WELL. >> WHEN AURORA AND I WERE FIRST KIND OF PARTNERED, WE REALLY STARTED HAVING A CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS TO BE WORKING CLASS WOMEN OF COLOR AT THE MET, AND WE SAID, YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T JUST PLAY ALONG, BUT WE NEED TO BREAK THE FOURTH WALL AND CHALLENGE SOME OF THE INSTITUTIONS. AND, YOU KNOW, WHILE THE MET IS KNOWN FOR ITS SPECTACLE, WE SHOULD HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT IT. >> Jessica: OKAY. SO HOUSEKEEPING FIRST. SHE DIDN'T PAY FOR THE TICKETS, SHE DIDN'T PAY FOR THE DRESS. >> Dana: WHO DID? >> Jessica: IT WAS DONATED AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT GOES ON. BUT TODAY EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT WHICH WAS THE POINT. SO DOESN'T AOC JUST WIN? >> Dana: I GUESS SHE WINS IN TERMS OF HER GOAL OF FURTHERING THE CONVERSATION, WHICH SHE DID. EVERYBODY IS TALKING ABOUT IT. BUT I ACTUALLY FOUND THIS INFURIATING AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HER DRESS. IF YOU WATCH THE WAY THAT THESE ELITES WALKING THE RED CARPET, THEY ARE WALKING UNABATED. THEIR FACES ARE OPEN. THEY GET TO SMILE FOR ALL THE CAMERAS AND ALL THE WORKING CLASS PEOPLE SERVING THEM HAVE TO BE FACELESS, THEY ARE MASKED AND WE SEE THIS AS A HABIT FOR THE LEFT. AND SHE CLAIMS TO BE FIGHTING FOR THE PEOPLE AND I WATCHED A VIDEO OF HER HAVING HER TRAIN CARRIED THROUGH THE CARPET INTO THE MET BY A BUNCH OF PEOPLE WORKING THERE WHO WERE MASKED. WE SAW NANCY PELOSI DO THIS WITH HERBIG OUTDOOR DINNER WHILE THE SERVANTS, MANY PEOPLE OF COLOR, BY THE WAY, YOU KNOW, SERVING THEM. WE SAW THIS AT PRESIDENT OBAMA'S PARTY. SO THIS IDEA NOW OF THE LEFT AND THE ELITES ALLOWING THE PANDEMIC -- THEY'VE NEVER HAD TO DEAL WITH IT. THEY ALL FLEW IN ON PRIVATE JETS, THEY DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT VACCINE MANDATES FOR COMMERCIAL TRAVEL IF THEY WANT TO SEE THEORY FAMILY. BUT THE PEOPLE THEY THINK SERVE THEM AND WORK FOR THEM, THEY HAVE TO BE SUB JEW GATED TO THESE RULES. SO IT'S NOT ABOUT HER DRESS, THIS IS ABOUT MARXISM AND COMMUNISM AT ITS CORE WHICH MEANS THE ELITES GET TO DO WHATEVER THEY WANT AND THE PEASANTS AND LITTLE PEOPLE HAVE TO SERVE THEM AND OBEY THE RULES IF THEY WANT TO JUST GO TO WORK FOR A DAY. >> Jessica: WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT POINT? >> Dana: A COUPLE THINGS. SO SHE IS AOC ANTOINETTE AND THIS IS A PERFECT EVENT FOR HER THE CHAMPAGNE SOCIALISTS ALL GET TOGETHER ONCE A YEAR AND KATIE THAT IS A VERY GOOD POINT ABOUT THE WORKING CLASS PEOPLE THAT WERE THERE. BECAUSE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS A LITTLE BIT OF A PROBLEM, AND THE REPUBLICANS HAVE TAKEN A DIFFERENT TACT IN THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS THAT THEY'RE MORE OF THE PARTY OF THE WORKING CLASS AND YOU MIGHT START TO SEE A LITTLE MORE IF THE REPUBLICANS CAN FIGURE OUT OUT HOW TO DO THIS. SHE DIDN'T PAY FOR THE TICKET, THE TICKET WAS DONATED. DO YOU THINK THAT THE PERSON WHO DONATED THE TICKET THROUGH THE NONPROFIT FUNDRAISER DIDN'T DEDUCT THAT FROM THEIR TAXES? OF COURSE THEY DID. AND THEY DIDN'T SHOW UP IN HYBRID CARS AND GREEN NEW DEAL VEHICLES. THEY ARE RIGHT NOW TRYING TO PASS A $3.5 TRILLION BILL AND REVERSE ENGINEERING, LIKE IT'S GOING TO HELP ALL SORTS OF PEOPLE. AND THE TRUST IN GOVERNMENT IS AT SUCH A LOW HE BEEN RIGHT NOW THAT I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GOING TO PASS OR NOT. THE THING FOR HER IS, SHE KNOWS HOW TO GET ATTENTION. SHE DOES IT VERY WELL. BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WOMAN. SHE'S GOT A BIG FOLLOWING. MY LAST POINT IS, I REALLY RESPECT THE DESIGNER, AURORA JAMES. IMPRESSIVE PERSON. BUT IN HER TWITTER FEED, AOC SAID THAT SHE WAS AN IMMIGRANT. OKAY, SHE COMES FROM CANADA. OKAY? IT'S NOT LIKE SHE WAS MAKING HER WAY UP FROM A REALLY TOUGH PLACE LIKE BANGLADESH OR NICARAGUA. SHE CAME FROM TORONTO. >> SHE SPEAKS CANADIAN SO IT MUST HAVE BEEN REALLY TOUGH. >> THE OTHER THING ON THAT TOO IS AOC IS NOT WORKING CLASS. SHE GREW UP IN A VERY RICH SUBURB WENT TO BOSTON UNIVERSITY, WAS A BARTENDER FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND NOW IS A CONGRESSWOMAN LIVING IN WASHINGTON, DC, IN ONE OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE BUILDINGS IN DC AND LIVES ABOVE THE WHOLE FOODS AND DRIVES A TESLA. COME ON. >> JESSE:. >> JESSE: BERNIE SANDERS WOULD HAVE STOOD ACROSS THE STEPS OF THE GALA WITH A LITTLE PLACARD THAT SAID TAX THE RICH AND A BULL HORN. THAT'S A PROTEST. THIS IS A PERFORMANCE. THIS IS A POP STAR SOCIALIST TRYING TO GET STREET CRED FOR THE SLOGAN AND ALSO WANTING TO HANG OUT WITH CELEBRITIES. HERE'S HOW IT GOES, ANNA RUNS THE TOP OF THE MET. SO SHE SENDS AOC A TICKET, AND EVERYBODY ELSE, AS DANA SAID, WRITES THIS OFF AS A TAX DEDUCTION. SO AOC GOES, SHE GETS BUZZ, THE MET GALA GETS BUZZ. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT. AND ALL THESE RICH LIBERALS GET TO FEEL LIKE, YEAH, WE'RE VERT WITH US, YEAH, SURE, TAX THE RICH. AND THEN THE NEXT DAY THEIR ACCOUNTANTS ARE WORKING 24/7 TO LOWER THEIR TAXABLE INCOME. THE FUNNY THING IS AOC WRITES THE TAX CODE. SHE'S RAISING AWARENESS? OKAY, WE KNOW LIBERALS WANT TO RAISE TAXES ON THE RICH. WE'VE KNOWN THAT FOR A HUNDRED YEARS. SHE COULD WRITE A TAX BILL. AOC HAS NEVER WRITTEN A BILL THAT'S GOTTEN OUT OF COMMITTEE HER ENTIRE CAREER. SHE DOES NANCY AND CHUCK DO IT WITH A ROOM FULL OF LOBBYIST THEY CAR HAVE OUT THE LOOPHOLES AND THEN THE NEXT CYCLE THE REPUBLICANS SCAR HAVE OUT THE LOBBYISTS AND WORK OUT THE LOOPHOLES. SHE DOES IT EVERY TIME AND GETS WHAT SHE WANTS. >> Brian: RIGHT NOW IF YOU WORK IN NEW YORK AND YOU HAVE $10 YOU HAVE TO GIVE AWAY SIX. HOW MUCH MORE MONEY DO YOU WANT. 61% OF EVERYONE'S INCOME ON THE BOOKS BETWEEN STATE AND LOCAL AND CITY TAXES, GOES TO SOMEBODY ELSE. AND YET MOST OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT ARE RICH, VERY FEW INHERITED IT. A LOT ARE WORKING 60, 70 HOURS A WOKE SUPPORTING OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT WORKING OR WHO WORK GOVERNMENT JOBS. THE OTHER THING IS, TO BRING UP, MAYOR de BLASIO WAS ALSO THERE. THIS GUY'S POVERTY, A MARXIST REALLY AGAINST THE RICH AND FOR THE WORKING CLASS AND HATES COP AND HANGS OUT WITH THE RICH AND FAMOUS. THAT'S WHERE HE'S GOING TO END UP IN HIS YEARS. I FIND THE WHOLE THING DETESTABLE. BUT I FEEL AS THOUGH THIS IS GOING TO BE THE PRELIMINARY TO THE MANSION AOC HEAVY WEIGHT BOUGHT THAT'S GOING TO BE TAKING PLACE IN TWO OR THREE WEEKS. >> I DON'T KNOW, MANSION WAS DISMISSIVE ON THE SHOWS, HE SAID WE HAVEN'T SPOKEN I REALLY DON'T CARE. >> HE WASN'T AT THE MET EVEN
