 Somebody's asking do I really think AOC is smart? Absolutely. I mean the fact that you disagree with somebody doesn't mean I think she's very smart. I watch her communicate. I watch her talk. She's better than 95% of politicians I know. So the idea that because you disagree with her, because she says things that you find offensive that she is not smart is absurd. I mean the fact the idea that people on the left are not smart is absurd. She is very good. She's a very good communicator. She has the potential to really influence people and to sway them towards her direction and she talks in terms of terminology and in terms of in ways that people with better ideas don't do and therefore fail. She would win a debate against a Republican easily because she talks the language of morality. She knows what's fair, what's just, what's small and she can pivot the conversation very quickly to the things that she thinks are important and to the points that she wants to convey. So no I don't think she's stupid at all. I think you underestimate your her at your own peril. How do you like AOC quote of Milton Keynes totally economic illiterate, confusing Milton Friedman with John Meneke. She misspoke, right? I mean I know people love to jump on these things but I'm sure I do things like that. I'm sure other people do things like that. I'm sure people misspeak all the time but you know people love to jump on her but the fact is that she's succeeding. She's succeeding. Her policies are the policies everybody's talking about. She introduced the Green New Deal. Not only is everybody in the Democratic Party talking about it. It's all over Europe. It's all over everywhere. People are talking about different forms of the Green New Deal. She is backing Sanders. Sanders is doing very well. So again I think it's a mistake to attack her personally. I think it's a mistake to jump on you know miscues. I don't think I don't think she doesn't know the difference between Milton Friedman and John Meneke. I think she misspoke which happens. Now I hate AOC. I think she's evil. I think her ideas are evil. I think she's a manipulative horrible person but if you think that everybody who disagrees with you is stupid. If you think that everybody who disagrees with you and that misspeaks sometimes as an idiot then you're confused and you have no clue and you will lose. I mean if Republicans jumped on Trump every time he misspoke. I mean he misspeaks like a hundred times more than AOC does but that's not the standard. The standard is your ideas. Her ideas are evil. They're wrong and I hate her for that but that doesn't mean I need to say she's an idiot because she's not. You have to appreciate and understand your opponents in order to defeat them. You have to in a rational debate. Now politics is not rational so maybe the right way to approach defeating AOC is making fun of her and that's fine but you know it's it's not intellectual. It's not how you win the intellectual battle and that's the battle that counts and that's the battle she is beating you on. If what we need today what I call the new intellectual would be any man or woman who is willing to think meaning any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason by the intellect not by feelings wishes wins or mystic revelations any man or woman who values his life and who does not want to give in to today's cult of despair cynicism and impotence and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist Using the super chat and I noticed yesterday when I appealed for support for the show many of you step forward and actually supported the show for the first time so I'll do it again maybe we'll get some more today.
