Ro Khanna

I'm also watching you on X over the holiday break.

I feel.

I feel.

I didn't feel better.

I was going back and forth, back and forth.

You're replying.

You're in your mentions as billionaires.

Billionaires are very mad that you would dare propose.

A higher tax on them.

That they be taxed in ways that horrify them.

What's very funny as I listen to you say these things is that you're very practiced at being able to say and rattle off, here are these things we should accomplish.

And I can sense, of course, your political polish.

And yet the reason...

I keep on wanting to ask you for these things because they're radical, despite the fact that they also can be presented in such a way that's like, yeah, this is a platform, but also like it takes balls to say the things that you just said and to argue with these people in Silicon Valley and to understand their psychology, right?

So I want to actually go back to the demographics that you represent, both as a politician and also come from, right?

So you know these people.

So I think the shorthand for what happened to Silicon Valley in terms of why did they pivot further right?

The phrase that I often find myself using is that their brains got eaten by the Internet.

And I don't know if that's sufficient to describe what's really the psychology here.

Because you and I both know these are men with cognitive processing power.
