ocasio-cortez: thank you. as an important note, perhaps we consider the fact that there are substantially different financial risks between 1.5 degrees celsius, two degrees, and beyond. when we look at some of our partners around the world, sweden swiss bank will only purchase bond holdings from companies complying with their climate standards. the swiss central bank will exclude coal investments in their massive holdings. the u.s. central bank has stress testing with respect to climate. do you believe the united states is behind the rest of the world when it comes to mitigating the risk climate change poses to our financial system and the commitments we're making to do so? chair powell: i take it you are asking this question -- asking me this question. ms. ocasio-cortez: chair powell, you're welcome to weigh in as well. chair powell: thank you. so i'm really focused on our domestic context and doing what we think is right under our laws and our authorities as the fed. and i would say that principally what we'

when you hear people like sandy cortez telling us we're imagining this, how do you respond to that? bogglingon exercise in gas lighting the american people. it's an insult to our intelligence. anyone who has even glanced at the data would know that the crime spike is painfully obvious. what i would want to see about what krazner said, when he took office in 2018, if you look at 2018 to 2020, 112 additional people every year died in that city compared to the three years prior to him taking office. this year as you noted, the city just broke the all-time homicide record. so really is frustrating tord someone that follows this data and watches these trends to see two really prominent figures in the public square come out and just tell the american people to not believe their lying eyes. i'm starting to think this is going to be one of the sort of main tactics that people that i are nervous about mainstream american voters, connecting the dots here and seeing the policy led to this. what they're trying to do isin basically tell us this is all a figment of our imagination. >> tucker: yea

now alexandria ocasio-cortez, she is getting called out by retailers, by law enforcement officials andng why are you so out of touch claiming that allegations of smash-and-grab looting are not panning out, it is not happening? has she not seen the videos? >> there is a pandemic of looting plaguing this nation predominantly in democrat-run cities. no one should be surprised by aoc's non-existence. she is claiming it a host. she lives in a different world where facts don't matter when it conflicts with the progressive marxist agenda. the root of this is defund the police policies, eliminating bail policies, trying to empty prisons. elizabeth: when you get rid of cash bail. downgrade shoplifting to misdemeanors, you will see this. 30 states since 2005 have done this. they have raised the dollar threshold to $1000 or more for retail shoplifting theft. that is not a good thing. by the way security guard kevin yashida was shot and killed, workers are being attacked. this is serious stuff. the white house blaming the pandemic for crime? >> well look, having been in all could of d.a.'s offices

there was a poll last week that showed the republican candidate in nevada leading cortez mastoh 55 ors, pretty good margin for republican in that state. those are two of the big spots. the other one is in georgia with rafael warnock, newly elected and defending his seat, very competitive state. the republican candidate, same polling showed herschel walker up a single point which is not great for republicans in this environment, you would think a republican candidate in georgia would be doing better but those are the three democrats are going to have to fight to hold onto otherwise losing a net of minus one seat in the senate loses their majority. sean: in the republican party what is at play? >> on the republican side big ones are pennsylvania where you've got an open seat, pat toomey retiring and really fluid crazy primaries on both sides, sean parnell was in and out, doctor oz in on the republican side, for a fluid situation but that is obviously estate the democrats think they can take advantage of and perhaps split the state, the other one is north carolina, richard burks retiring

meanwhile their leader, the real speaker of the house comrade cortez topped all of this idiocy with a statement of her own saying on twitter, quote: reminded that brett kavanaugh still remains credibly remains accused of sexual assault collaborated details this year the fbi admitted it never fully investigated yet the court is letting him to decide whether to, get this legalized force birth in the u.s. no recusal. yeah, she just referred to not aborting a baby childbirth as legalized forced birth. that is who they are. they are extremists. and hopefully soon they will lose here to respond is ben shapiro daily wire co-founder and host of the ben shapiro show upcoming feature film shut in and author of the authoritarian moment. ben, thanks so much for being here. i know where your heart is on this issue. just to step back for a moment and realize where we are, it really is a sobering moment. >> it is. it could be an amazing moment. i hope that there are five justices who are willing to go out there and simply overturn roe which is egregiously argued legally bad legal decision. even peop

is another roadblock for the progressive agenda and even alexandria ocasio cortez putting democrats onnk democrats can get reelected without pushing through the progressive objectives on the party's agenda. let's discuss. ever see lord of the flies? i think it was golding is where the tribe eventually totally closes in on each other and eats each other alive? i've got the conch which always offended me. a political football, the democratic party, we all see it. how ugly will 2020 to get for democrats in terms of the civil war? democrats is the only one with the conch is aoc or bernie sanders, the only ones that have any sort of anything interesting to say and the ones that soak up all the attention. the problem, she's got a great point. her ideas are crazy and there is no mandate for what she's talking about and take over every aspect of american life and hand the power to the federal government she does have a good point about establishment democrats, they are willing -- they won't break the glass for her agenda items or any of the things she wants done but when it comes to doing some

the problem is the alexandria ocasio-cortezs over the world are not going away. that creates a problem for how you get all of these things you want to get passed, done. how you get joe manchin and kristin sinema to go along or how you get the 13 republicans? john: the democratic caucus is not like the republican caucus. it does not look like a country club board of directors. we have an incredibly diverse, ideologically, demographically, gender, etc. the process is pretty messy and it has hurt us. i will be the first to say that. we are going to get some stuff done. that is important. it will be impact. as well. you have to deal with that, not now, not in the first quarter or the second quarter, you guys would have to deal with the effect that you do not have anything to run on. i hope you have plans of what you are going to do about the border and what you are going to do about how we perceive the broad or what you want to do about voters who have lost confidence in biden's ability to govern. not his ability to understand government. john: let us challenge. i do

we know that he conceivably will be challenged by a member of the squad from new york, alexandria cortezocus on fact that chum schumer has had progressive left we think demonstrators from nongt of his house in brooklyn at least three times over the last three years. he's under a lot of pressure. and i think that pressure moved the senate majority leader smartly to the left, and took a lot of the party with him if you consider for instance, if they had someone else, say amy klobuchar as majority leader i doubt they would have moved so easily to the left so i'm going to really attach a lot of explanation for what happened to the pressure that chuck schumer is on looking to preserve his own seat from the left in that city especially cortez makes. j i think there's a lot to it and, of course, if you get elected as president of the united states, you have a little different platform and a little different mandate than the majority leader and can't you tell the majority leader and the speaker of the house these are my priorities let's find a wie to get it done. >> yeah. every president has a o
