Some highlights:
at 24m: Hasan says that Trump's policies in Israel such as moving the capital to Jerusalem and Abraham Accords caused Oct 7 to happen. AOC seemingly agrees and nods along.
at 29m: Hasan brings up the point that Democrats don't pass enough regulations to combat inflation. AOC talks about targeting Ticketmaster.
at 32m: Hasan criticizes the Democrats for adopting Trump's border policy. He says that Democrats should not accept the right wing framing of the border. He says that Democrats are legitimizing the Republicans. They spend like 10 minutes talking about how immigrants need an easier path to citizenship and how undocumented labor is used a tier system to suppress wages of all workers.
at 43m: Hasan criticizes Trump for throwing out the Iran de-nuclearization agreement.
at 47m: Hasan criticizes Joe Biden for running on reversing Trump's border policies and then never doing it. AOC seemingly agrees and says we can't beat Trump by using his polices and that Democrats need their own vision of a border policy.
at 54m: Donald Trump pauses his speech because someone in the crowd at the Trump rally is having a medical emergency. Hasan calls it a "massive L" to have a medical emergency at a Trump rally.
at 73m: Hasan criticizes the Democrats for accepting the right wing framing on the crime panic during the mid term election. He says that police lied about being defunded and were never defunded. AOC brings up Walgreens. Hasan talks about how the Walgreens CFO lied by saying that Walgreens locations had to be shutdown because of shoplifting. He says that Democrats accepting right wing framing is always devastating.
at 87m: AOC says that she is out of time and has to leave. What is surprising here is that she doesn't try to promote Joe Biden or Democrats at all. Never says vote for Biden. I thought she would. She does say that she wants to help Hasan raise money for Palestinian aid. Hasan mentions a fundraising campaign called "Creators for Palestine".

    Do I really want to watch an hour plus interview with someone that's shown herself to be a massive lib? Do I hate myself enough to do it? Eh, I'll think about it.

    at 29m: Hasan brings up the point that Democrats don't pass enough regulations to combat inflation. AOC talks about targeting Ticketmaster.

    I might just watch this part though. Like, really? Targeting Ticketmaster is the major victory she wants to hoist up as a way of dealing with inflation?

      Regulating Ticketmaster may only be a small victory but it has massive popularity among normal people, which is why I included it in the highlights. Normal people who go outside like to attend concerts. Ticketmaster has a monopoly on concert tickets and is known for hidden fees and jacking up ticket prices. Regulating Ticketmaster would be highly popular. I am doubtful that Democrats will actually accomplish this in a meaningful way.

      I watched that part because it just seemed so ridiculous. She talks about the FTC and anti-trust policy. Which is about as milquetoast as expected from her.
