0:00.0	You know, I have to tell you, AOC, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-C-Cortez, she has been laser-focused on zooming in as to what all of this right-wing posturing is really about and has done an excellent job,
0:24.5	as good as anybody in the Democratic Party at this point, of really uncovering what is the
0:30.5	true goal of all of this stuff, you know, and what what there is here that is not always
0:36.4	obvious is that as observers of politics, we see
