There's been some controversy lately about politics. Obviously, there was the skullbath that

0:06.4

happened on Twitter, between Crystal Ball and AOC about whether or not she was kind of falsely

0:12.2

claiming credit for the warehouse's victory, given that she didn't come when she had spoken to

0:17.7

you and told you that she was going to. There was additional controversy more recently when he

0:22.0

went on to her carlison and he seemed eager to draw you into a conversation that was critical of AOC,

0:28.6

perhaps more so than he was maybe substantively interested in talking about what happened

0:33.9

at the warehouse. Should were you surprised that Sandy Cortez, Al Jandriakazio Cortez,

0:39.9

who has said repeatedly that she's on the side of the worker against the corporation,

just for me, I don't get involved with AOC. Yes, she canceled on us, but she wasn't the only one.

1:34.2

But apparently that's what everybody's focusing on is her. I was sick because she's a big name,

1:38.4

but she wasn't the only one. And none of them showed up. None of them showed up. And that's what I

1:43.0

told Tucker. That's what I told anybody. No politician showed up. The proof is in the pudding.

1:48.4

We've been campaigning for over a year. But the first time since we won, we started to get people to
