Rep. Ro Khanna

from these more extreme cases, then we would disincentivize the most extreme hate that is being spewed and pushed to a lot of our kids and people around the country.

Well, first of all, there's a choice, and the choice is do we tax billionaires 5% one time over five years, or do we have 2 million people lose health care?

And this is specific to California, we should clarify.

And some of the people who are opposed to this are saying, well, the union is so self-interested.

Yes, they're self-interested.

They're looking out for their home care workers and the nurses' aides and people who are doing elder care.

And I guess my values are that I'm fine with billionaires paying 5% more, 5% of their wealth when they've had 150% increase, 158% increase, so that people don't lose health care.

Well, I still have a relationship with a lot of tech leaders, of course.

But what it says is when push comes to shove, people will know who I stand with.

I'll stand with the kids who I grew up with in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, with working families, not with people in power.

My values are one that I want to see this country work for those.

who are left out, those who don't have health care, those who don't have child care.

I'm very proud to represent Silicon Valley.

I'm proud of the innovation.

But they have to understand that there is a broken social contract.

There needs to be a social contract where they build wealth, but then that contributes to the economic security and success of every family and every person.

Well, it's certainly a soft launch to get these issues as part of the national conversation.

You know, I am, someone said, oh, there was this, Asaf took your Epstein class for his speech.

I said, great.

Every senator, I'd love every senator to do that.
