- 0:00Speaker 1: Now it's sevent w oars Beat on the Street with
- 0:06Speaker 1: Natalie MIGLIORI. Wow, you survive. New York City has a
- 0:10Speaker 1: flash flood warning because of heavy rains in your back.
- 0:14Speaker 2: I can't believe I washed my hair last night. That's
- 0:16Speaker 2: the freaking news.
- 0:17Speaker 3: I should have. I should have.
- 0:19Speaker 2: I was wearing a hat anyway, I should have just
- 0:21Speaker 2: kept it, you know, I know.
- 0:24Speaker 3: Look, thank you.
- 0:28Speaker 1: God through it.
- 0:30Speaker 2: Look there is still plenty of time before the twenty
- 0:33Speaker 2: twenty eight presidential election, but it'll be here before you
- 0:36Speaker 2: know it.
- 0:37Speaker 3: And who's the talk of the town right now?
- 0:39Speaker 2: New York's very own Alexandria Ocazio Cortes, widely known as AOC,
- 0:46Speaker 2: and even though no one has you know, substantially declared
- 0:49Speaker 2: to run their speculation around it, with a recent poll
- 0:52Speaker 2: from the University of New Hampshire showing AOC has twenty
- 0:57Speaker 2: two percent of the vote among likely Democratic voters, taking
- 1:01Speaker 2: a lead from a former federal official, Pete Boudhage edge
- 1:05Speaker 2: at one point. So he's a big name in the
- 1:07Speaker 2: Democratic Party, of course, all in a hypothetical race.
- 1:10Speaker 3: So what a New Yorker thing?
- 1:12Speaker 2: I think she's a hole backage, she's young, she is
- 1:16Speaker 2: open mind, she.
- 1:18Speaker 4: Is looking towards the future.
- 1:20Speaker 3: She does a nautic actions for self game, and she
- 1:24Speaker 3: looks much better for the greater good.
- 1:26Speaker 5: I don't think that she will serve everybody, and I
- 1:28Speaker 5: don't think that the powers and principalities that be would
- 1:31Speaker 5: participate with her. So if she got elected, oh god,
- 1:38Speaker 5: it would be chaos.
- 1:40Speaker 2: Yeah, so a bit of a bit of conflicting, and
- 1:44Speaker 2: I think I found that all morning, a bit of
- 1:45Speaker 2: confliction there. Now there are great articles from the National
- 1:49Speaker 2: Review about AOC, a Democrat, and Marco Rubio, a Republican,
- 1:53Speaker 2: taking sort of these influencerlike approaches to connecting with their audiences.
- 1:57Speaker 3: Very interesting reads.
- 1:59Speaker 2: Another college from town Hall even gives insight on how
- 2:02Speaker 2: AOC's PR team might be trying to turn her into
- 2:05Speaker 2: the political version of Taylor Swift.
- 2:08Speaker 3: Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift.
- 2:11Speaker 2: As she starts publicly sharing her journey to freezing her eggs,
- 2:14Speaker 2: which actually Curtis and Larry a lot of people saying, oh,
- 2:17Speaker 2: I recognize that they sort of didn't necessarily recognize AOC
- 2:23Speaker 2: in a sense, we think she's such a big name,
- 2:25Speaker 2: but then when you start talking about the freezing eggs part,
- 2:27Speaker 2: they really get into it. So and her breakup with
- 2:30Speaker 2: her longtime fiance. She was with that guy for a
- 2:32Speaker 2: long time, they broke up. So is it a way
- 2:35Speaker 2: to appeal to broader audiences in a more human way?
- 2:39Speaker 5: If you got to convince somebody of who you are,
- 2:42Speaker 5: then not who you are, you gotta work at being
- 2:45Speaker 5: something else. But when the lights come on, it's still you.
- 2:49Speaker 3: I don't see how that will work. I don't think
- 2:51Speaker 3: there's any connection there.
- 2:53Speaker 4: Plus, taylors Off is a finger.
- 2:54Speaker 3: She's gonna be somebody that's gonna be working into our future.
- 2:58Speaker 3: What would she have even a connection in there?
- 3:00Speaker 4: I heard about that, But and I think freezing her
- 3:03Speaker 4: eggs and health can't it's gonna it's gonna do any good.
- 3:06Speaker 4: The men run this country, not the woman. I don't
- 3:10Speaker 4: care how many women go out and vote. The men
- 3:12Speaker 4: are gonna have the upper hand because they run the country.
- 3:15Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 3:16Speaker 2: So I guess that this leads us to my last question.
- 3:19Speaker 2: Is America it's long been debated ready for a female president?
- 3:25Speaker 3: Do we have that bite? Is it there?
- 3:28Speaker 2: Oh?
- 3:29Speaker 4: Now?
- 3:29Speaker 3: So what's the answer.
- 3:31Speaker 2: Well, one person says no, because we couldn't get Hillary
- 3:34Speaker 2: Clinton in.
- 3:34Speaker 3: We couldn't get Karla Harrison. Another guy said, hey, it's not.
- 3:39Speaker 2: About who, it's about It's not about a woman, it's
- 3:42Speaker 2: about who, and then he said, Elizabeth Warren should be
- 3:45Speaker 2: the president.
- 3:48Speaker 3: Poka Hunt. I'll leave that to you.
- 3:51Speaker 1: Court. It's a generational change, and as you can see,
- 3:55Speaker 1: AOC does have a following that she's been building on
- 3:58Speaker 1: for years. Her problem would be if she enters into it.
- 4:02Speaker 1: The DNC chose South Carolina over the weekend to be
- 4:06Speaker 1: the first primary state for Democrats. As predominantly black, a
- 4:10Speaker 1: lot of elderly blacks who vote. I wouldn't say that's
- 4:13Speaker 1: your constituency, but you can't rule her out either, which.
- 4:16Speaker 2: Is interesting because the one of the men who I
- 4:18Speaker 2: was talking to was an elderly black man and he
- 4:21Speaker 2: was saying, no, he'd rather see Trump in office still
- 4:24Speaker 2: than AOC.
- 4:25Speaker 3: So it was a very interesting. It is way to
- 4:28Speaker 3: get people. I think she's going to run for Senate.
- 4:30Speaker 3: I don't think she's going to run for president, but
- 4:32Speaker 3: we'll see.
- 4:33Speaker 2: It depends on how likely where she thinks her chances
- 4:36Speaker 2: are more likely of winning.
- 4:37Speaker 1: She's so young, and they take another step, you know
- 4:40Speaker 1: what I mean, because some people, as you said, still
- 4:43Speaker 1: think she's crazy.
- 4:45Speaker 3: And some people don't even know who she is.
- 4:47Speaker 2: Still, even though she has this massive following, You ask
- 4:50Speaker 2: people what they think about.
- 4:51Speaker 1: Her, and well Shenn asked people what they thought about Israel.
- 4:56Speaker 1: You want to be shocked at the responsors from both
- 4:59Speaker 1: republic against the Democrats.
- 5:01Speaker 4: I think
