Rep. Ro Khanna

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.

I'd love every senator to take my AI-7 principles and congressperson to take them and run with that.

I have a vision of where I think this country has to go to solve the economic divides, to make sure we don't have a next Gilded Age that's even worse, to make sure that we have an economic contract that actually meets the moment to have economic independence and success for every family and every community.

Now, whether that means that I'm actually a candidate or not, I'll look at that after the midterms.

But I certainly want to be part of the conversation.

Congressman, thank you for your time.
