She didnt grill anyone. Jamie said only that people shouldnt go to jail for not paying the subwayticket and that she needs to talk with legal experts for the rest of the conversation… Stupid clickbait
What is potientiality?
She do OK, but the question is to long for a yes or no reply.
@Andrew bro u so biased its insane lol. he is literally criticizing her LOL
AOC grilling people about stuff that happened years ago. She is so carried away with herself. What an annoying, obnoxious idiot. How arrogant. There is a way to question people without coming off nasty. Wow, she’s going on and on and on…is there a question somewhere in there? She’s “concerned”…. Ha ha ha…she represents Riker’s Island…..how absolutely appropriate! She is no match for this man. Too funny. Delusional woman.
she’s like birdshit, she’s all over the place
So you favor the banks. What a idiot
Captains of industry still free and clear to plunder again, ’til the next Socialist bailout. You’re all capitalist. Not us we have state help.
I guess AOC never saw this video: subprime lending was virtually nonexistent before 1998, when Andrew Cuomo and his boss Bill Clinton forced them down the financial markets’ throats by massively suing banks that wouldn’t issue them: https://youtu.be/6JPraGHh-rM
AOC should have asked if JPM was cornering the silver market…
#M2Au
Why ? Was JPM buying a lot of silver during the past few days or weeks ?
#M2Au they’re trying
KennethHo1999 Music everyone’s buying silver and gold especially China and russia
Hardly. He flicked the question like he was swatting a fly. Good click bait caption!!
like some wise man had said, “give a man a gun and he can rob a bank, give a man a bank and he can rob the world”.
Challenge accepted! 🙃🤪🤔
Rob the world? How so?
who said that u bum
nobody holds a gun to your head to borrow money poor decisions have poor outcomes
@- money brings power, power brings theft. got it .
AOC is sooooooo dumb! The 8 million that got foreclosed on got to buy luxury homes with no money down by lying to mortgage lenders and them got to live in those houses for free for several years without making payments so those 8 million were the lucky ones and the perpetrators of the financial crisis. As for the so called fare jumpers she claims went to jail for being unable to afford public transit fare, how does AOC know if they couldn’t afford the fare or if they just didn’t want to pay the fare? And it was the people that elected AOC herself that also elected the very judges that sentence the fare jumpers to jail.
Them top executives should of gone to prison!!!! Double standard country!! Wen will it change????
If you look at the impact and value a lifetime of wages as a life they should of got the death penalty multiple times over. Enron was steeling retirement and they got a few years . If you consider the risk to reward one might argue we encourage white collar crime.
What crime did they do?
@the dude do ur research 🤣
@David Jordan lets not forget the 2008 crash was caused by everyday americans who lived beyond their means. Its also everyday americans who elected a government that forced more subprime than a bank would naturally take on. Live wothout a credit score and these kinds of downfalls wont affect you.
I viewed AOC at first as just another far-left wacko. But if she is going after Dimon and other Wall Street scumbags, I will have to change my opinion of her.
Joseph Van Zandt Don’t all far-left wackos go after Wall Street. She sounds really stupid in this. The foreclosures happened after the financial crisis because people took loans to buy houses they couldn’t afford.
Jamie Dimon is a boss.
Cortez 😍😘💖💖💖💍🌹
This idiot shouldn’t be “grilling” anyone. She a complete moron and shouldn’t even be in her current position. She belongs bartending. Possibly even doing adult movies with as much bad acting as she does…..
So AOC is asking if Denocrats should have gone to jail? The housing crisis started with Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac which was a government subsidized home loan companies. These companies being pushed by Democrats who tried to indicate everyone should own a home no matter HOW much one made. President Bush warned the Democrat controlled congress in 2003 to 2007 but top DEMOCRATS pushed back. The two companies i mentioned started giving BAD loans and THEY sold off those loans to GOOD banks. When these banks realized they were BAD loans and the amounts where way oversold all under FALSE pretense and allowed by DEMOCRATS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMnSp4qEXNM
Maybe people should LEARN before trying to blame wrong people.
Now Democrats want to give away FREE health care and FREE college which will turn out just as BAD as what they created pushing the RIGHT of people to have homes even if they CAN NOT afford it. The U.S. can NOT afford to give free anything.
Exactly.
Jamie Dimon commands respect, they know he won’t back down when being questioned.
She got everything she wanted from him. AOC 1, Dimen 0.
@Bongo Dave I don’t think so – he’s still making four times more than any of his employees and haven’t increased any wages or made any substantial changes to the way his Organization operates with regards to his enployees. So what did she get? Oh it must’ve been that nice luxury condo she got that doesn’t allow low income renters. Surely you heard about that..
No respect from me he’s evil
@Bongo Dave It’s never been AOC 1, the other 0 – she always loses
@shaunmc01 really so that’s him winning cause he’s still got money? In that world its not about money, um hello they all have money. Its about power. I wish the Doj actually followed through with what they said they would do and put these ceo bankers in jail for stock manipulation and misleading investors to over loan beyond there means…….equals the 2008 crash that not only changed the way we currently do business but has changed everything going forwards. I know i was a little more stable when the covid pandemic happened because of what 2008 taught me. (dont put all your eggs in one basket) spread them around. thus not being so damaging
What seems criminal to some is actually incompetence. They didn’t lose money on purpose, they didn’t put their banks and the entire financial system in jeopardy on purpose. They can’t control all of their own employees or the decisions they make. The financial incentives they provide for their employees have come back to bite them.
Anyone that says these people should go to jail for 2008 just doesn’t understand how things work. They made mistakes and guess what? They lost a lot of money from it, and then they made it back on the upside… but they didn’t lose it in the first place on purpose.
Hating the rich is not the same thing as loving the poor.
She totally hates on the rich. It’s sickening and not appropriate
I think Jamie Dimon would be a great president. Good guy.
shitpost
She is a bartender who would take her seriously?
Me!
Are you saying certain people can’t run for congress? A black reverend just won in georgia. Crawl back into your classist hole
Every “news” piece published by Yahoo is intended to anger, to mislead, to distract, or to encourage emotional incontinence. Their only business is to manufacture psychological junk food. Thanks Yahoo, but I’ll get my news from independent sources. Maybe just stick to email and running chatrooms full of perverts.
Alexandria I Occasionally use my Cortex is a wanna be who is nothing more than a child that hasn’t left the sand box yet and just screams at the adults. She won’t last long and the district that voted her in are embarrassed they did.
You couldn’t be more wrong.
While maybe she has noble intentions of wanting their to be more accountability i think she came unprepared and uninformed. This is a big complex problem, and if she had really wanted to deal with it she needs to ask specific informed questions. Asking Jamie Dimon if he thinks their should have been more accountability is unproductive and really is just childish. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to bring about change AOC… rigorous research and analysis, critical thought, etc. You’re not the first person to want to change the world lol
@- I mean everyone probably would want the world to be a little be different if they had the choice. What makes her special?
NOBLE??????? LOL, That tool is not noble.
I think she did a great job of asking him simple clear questions which he’ll pay a big price if he lied to, and also she got him to say that it’s up to law makers to make the system more fair, so she can put pressure on lawmakers. It won’t be “just her idea”, it will also have Jamie Dimon’s uncomfortable blessing. If that makes any sense. To me it’s like a simple efficient move of chess just happened in the larger scheme of things. It also takes time to change the world.
Please google anything she has done this why she’s “special”
she is very young.
AOC is a joke
You’re a joke!
He responds like she is a dumbass daughter loool
how can you have an idiot like her questioning anybody?
Like during the American Revolution & The Civil War, nothing will improve until the corrupt start paying with their lives.
She’s the worst. AOC is a politician through and through trained young to work the people and get money from the special interest groups. She got millions from unions in nyc and did some bad practice in nyc for special interests instead of helping people
I’m not going to lie this is a joke
I Hate AOC & anyone who voted for this Cunt.
wow, yahoo fans sure are a bunch of republican IDIOTS!! why am I not surprised? I bet more than half of you have an aol.com email address, too. LOL LOL you said it all for us, thanks for proving what “ignorance” really means. Hysterical!!!!!
AOC: grills*
Dimon: laughs(internally) in Profit Maximization
He should be in prison.
He’s a joke
Your manhood is threatened because she’s smarter than you and kicks ass. Poor little incel snowflakes!
How many trumpy are there here?
What about your illegal financial transactions?
Jamie Dimon is a total legend.
@Sanmitra Pardeshi go look up how many billions….with a b….of fines they incurred over the years. Also I READ that they have an expectation of these fines (aka breaking the law and scamming their customers) and they build it into their budget to be able to cover the cost. You see his principles shine quite clearly, no?
@Sanmitra Pardeshi also do you know what they pay entry level employees at that company? Not enough for a decent living after average rent and groceries. A man of principle!?! A man of shams and fraud and dollar signs.
@plantgal lawmakers (people like this congresswoman) can solve these issues. Nobody has tied their hands.
@plantgal she is asking Jamie if there is any flaw in their system of laws…looks like she is not so confident about the system….which is definitely not the case….
@plantgal apart from this…I am an Indian living in India doing this only to test my English skills….so please comment about this too..🙏🏻
Tr he climate changes everytime the light in the sky go down
look at some actual data instead of rolling your eyes with assumptions
Shes so dumb
AOC’s income = 1% * Dimon’s income
To all Americans… these people are the enemy! Not trump voters, not liberals!!
I didn’t see a grilling. I think she asked good questions, and he gave reasonable answers.
@7:47 “Getting Jamie Dimon to say that too many people are in jail … is a headline there.” Such an ignorant comment, have you never heard Jamie Dimon speak at least once before? He has been consistent on principles and value such as these, but the media loves to demonize “all bank execs are sharks”.
so many violations where they got caught but we can only wonder at how much theyve gotten away with
How the hell did she get a Bachelors in Economics (Boston Univesity)? It is beyond me.
Shut up and get back to your vacuuming and sewing, you Doormat.
Copy and paste
How the hell did you become intelligent enough to use the internet. or did your child type this
a child reading her part in front of the class comes to mind
Do you need a hug?
@Steve Hubbard depends from who
American you have build so fine prisons, use them Well. I Think the bankers would trive in a prison cell, it’s like a safe bold.
Dick Fuld (Lehman) is my #1 nomination for jail for the completely fake earnings reports.
So she talks about wells Fargo which is not Chase and other banks issues , can we then talk about congressional people that have been removed for corruption as well ? can’t lump them all in one basket. I am not responsible for my competitors mistakes. Hey AOC Barney Frank said FNMA and Freddiemac was solvent and they weren’t This is your fng fault yes the Democrats
AOC is a hypocrite
The Corrupters (politicians) vs the Mobsters (bankers) lol …. What a joke! The Mobsters owned the Corrupters.
She can’t even read…
Long-winded aoc
A total child
The brand “Jamie Dimon” is so strong that 53.693 viewers would suffer AOC blabbing for the most of the video, just to hear Jamie talk for 10 seconds. That’s value.
Facts 😂🤣
Shark.
So true🤣🤣…the only surviving CEO from the crisis
While I feel like a majority of the big banks and their CEO’s and Boards were and are guilty of fraud in connection with the 08 crisis is also knew that they were never going to do anything but pay fines and it wouldnt be the individuals paying it was going to be the company paying. Of course AOC is pushing race and a relaxation of private prisons. This chick was in the wrong meeting.
Further more this was and AOC Special, Meaning she does a lot of talking but doesnt say anything. People as far left as she is are going to and up crippling this country. And not im not from the far right or the right at all. I dont vote party lines in vote for the least horrible Video put up for office.
AOC- “Mr.Dimon is money doesn’t grow on trees, why do banks have branches?”
her questions are not simple. it’s sooo long
Aoc 🤢🤬🤬🤬💩💩🤡😌
Along with the bankers, AOC should go to jail for enslaving the public in trillions of debt with all of her social program spending we cannot afford. Government is the problem, not the solution, and it was the government who bailed out the banks in the Financial crisis…never forget that.
Cortez should realize that the money made is far and away higher than the fine. Do you really think this will ever stop and she is a part of it.
The United States government should talk,……… They rip off American taxpayers for billions and billions of dollars each year 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕. The Congress and the Senate are criticizing the very Frankenstein that they allowed and created????????. Just more political theater that goes nowhere!!!!!. Especially from a woman like this who doesn’t know anything about anything except how to flap her gums. And this goes on decade after decade. This is why I don’t bother to vote anymore 🖕🖕🖕
Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves!
AOC can’t even grill a hamburger.
Get them
Get them !!!!
Much of this is just me in larger terms. The IRS fined me for failure to file and I had my cancelled check. They told me that they lost my file but that I had no recourse but to pay my fine. Extortion and no guilt.
i do not believe you i owed the IRS 15k because my ex wife failed to file for two years. I had no problem resolving my issues with the IRS.
Ask me no questions, I will tell you no lies_ Jamie Diamon.
She is COMPLETELY CLUELESS!!! Imagine admitting you voted for this woman. SHAME on those who did.
Really? she is smarter than most in congress and way smarter than any republican, ANY REPUBLICAN. VOTE BLUE
Jamie Dimon epic response saying you have to talk to legal system folks 😀
Without any opinion on Dimon or AOC, just to answer the question in video title, the answer has to be a resounding “yes”.
AOD and Rashida really needs to get a serious education on economy. Their lack of knowledge shines like a beacon. They want to be taken seriously but don’t know how to approach it.
Stealing is a crime.
AOC is the worst…
rename the video to “idiot bartender plays congresswoman”
What a joke this woman is …..
AOC is a SPUNK.
This little communist AOC girl is not a banker.
FEDS pay off FINES only CON”S GOVERNMENTS wanting money for the crimes>>> This pay for next governments and RETIREMENTS of White House all others LUMP”S CONS CRIMES WITH COURTS AND COP PROTECTION FOR ALL UN Nato all other crimes or over pay grades police this all they every say over their there pay grades ,THIS ONLY PUBLIC AS LAWS ON PUBLIC KNOWING WHERE THE OTHER GET BLAMED AS YOU SAID LOOK ITS PUBLIC then COURTS POLICE ALL OTHERS DUST LAWS THE LAWS the must tell they doing this from all crimes they made , its ALL WORKS fore public must JAIL THEM OR GET ALL MONEY BACK , First its all on your slave ass and public know every thing how all POLICE AND COURTS ALL OTHERS turn the heads on all crimes from all
The financial system is not safer. I commend Jaimie Dimon for absolutely nothing. He made his money in the private prisons and got out when it wasn’t profitable for his image. He has tried hard for years to lower social security payments while he was making millions breaking the law for which he paid fines that were pennies to him.
AOC is what happens when you give power to a child. She’s not smart person and in over her head (to put it lightly). It’d be like me or any other average person thinking they are qualified to sit at this table.
Puro pedo. The cages are worse than ever
How did she end up like that? Let the swamp change her completely.
When you must hit 750 words on a essay and don’t have the material.

Glad she pretends to care. While she wears like a million dollar dress lol
Shut the hell up Alexandria you’re digging in the wrong places
What if I told you that Jamie Dimon is the grandson of Nelson Rockefeller and AOC is the great granddaughter of Nelson Rockefleller?
Jami Dimon literally SAVED the financial sector from the throne of just one bank.
he’s actually helping cause it
“Grills” she asked a couple questions
She’s out of her league she’s nervous as she’s asking questions
People here defending jamie dimon in the comments he is the face tax doging corporate greed which is destroying America and making it the land of inequality. The question why are we talking about the GFC 10 years later because there was no accountability for the wall st bankers dimon being one of them that put millions of Americans on the street instead of going to prison for their crimes against the American people they got a 750 billion dollar tax payer funded bailout to bankers who dont pay tax and they stole some of that thanx to GW Bush republicans. The people who suck up to these monsters of greed like dimon one can only assume their on the gravy train as well. AOC is exposing the ugly side of capitalism it works very well for the rich but for everyone else its sink or swim and in America the bastion of capitalism theres a lot more sinking than swimming thanx to dimon and his cronies who should be on prison especially when you look at what they get away with. Wall st have corrupted the political system to the point of no return especially the Republican party who are basically a crime gang for the rich who they only represent welcome to America go AOC keep exposing these crooks its that bad its just pay the fines youll still be laughing all the way to the bank or tax haven.🤑👹🤏🙏👁👀
Don’t touch my children. My babies are children! We did nothing to anyone!
Hats off to AOC for her service but she wasted her five minutes by spending most of that time reciting the various legal infractions made by banks. Instead, she should have attacked the legal non-outcomes of the finanacial crisis: the number and type of cases investigated and their outcomes, the alleged conspiracy between the rating agencies and Wall Street, the misbehavior of account executives and their bosses, how many senior execs were investigated and those outcomes. And her question to Jamie Dimon (for whom I have much respect) was childish and silly. For future questionings she should prepare by watching the many Frontline documentaries on this subject and others regarding Wall Street.
The weakness of government is those who are best at stealing power are the least capable of running a city, state, or country. AOC is a perfect example. How a complete imbecile can be put in a position to dictate to well-educated experienced banking CEOs on economic policy is a travesty.
White collar crooks. Find a loophole and exploit it. That’s why Nike paid Jordan’s fines for wearing mostly red shoes. The profit outweighs the fine. Government officials are in way over their head when dealing with corporate goons.
