Ro Khanna

Well, I think the establishment needs to go. I think we got to get a new generation in there. This was a clear rejection of the establishment. We ran as the status quo party. We said everything in America is fine. Donald Trump said, no, it's not. People are hurting. People don't have a fair shake. Their jobs have been offshored. Your industries have been hollowed out.

And what we have to do as a party is say we're the party that's going to take on political corruption. And we've got a real economic message. Now, I think on the economy and we can get into it. We believe that the fundamental one of the fundamental issues is the massive income inequality in America. You look at my district. You mentioned some of the guys.

Twelve trillion dollars of market value in my district. Twelve trillion dollars. While this country has gone from 50... Just in your district, $12 trillion. You got Apple, Google, Nvidia, Tesla, and a lot of other companies, $12 trillion. Now, you're living in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. We're in Ohio, downriver Michigan. Steel left this country. Aluminums left this country.

Shipbuildings left this country. And you see $12 trillion in Ro Khanna's district, and you say, where am I fitting in? So the Democratic Party has a vision of how we're going to actually reindustrialize this country, how we're going to create jobs in places that have been hollowed out, how we're going to make sure people have child care and health care can have the American dream.

Look, I'm not for stock trading in Congress, and I think you need to ban it. And I have a political reform bill to do that. I've co-sponsored AOC's bill, co-sponsored the bill that Chip Roy introduced, which says, look, you come with money. It's fine to have money and go to Congress. I mean, a lot of people have wealth, but you've got to put it in a trust and not be engaging in trading.

Now, here's... I think what's going on with Pelosi, I mean, you may disagree with me. She has a husband who is a tech investor and a tech venture capitalist, and he's a very, very savvy investor. He makes investments. I don't think he's making investments based on what Congress is doing because I don't think Congress has a clue about technology.

If Congress was that savvy about technology, we'd actually have smart AI and privacy policy. impropriety, and that's why it should be banned. Tom, what do you think about this?

Well, that's why I think we should ban the trading. But the bigger corruption issue, I'm not saying there shouldn't be trading, but the bigger corruption issue is the money that these companies are often giving members of Congress in campaign contributions and super PACs. Look at Meta, for example.

and the amount of money they have sunk in to members of Congress and lobbying to kill the Kids Online Safety Act. The Kids Online Safety Act says let's not have kids exposed to eating disorders and suicidal thoughts, and that can't pass. It passed the Senate overwhelmingly, can't pass the House, not because of the stock trading, because of the money they're pouring into Congress.

We have. I mean, I haven't had it one on one, but I've had it with her in a group with the California delegation and with other members of Congress where we said, let's pass this. It was in 2022 when she was still speaker of the House and we didn't get it onto the House floor. Now it hasn't. Look, it's a bipartisan issue that the Republicans haven't brought it.

Democrats haven't brought it. There are about 60 of us on this bill to ban it. And and we we need more people on it.
