Today we have a special guest: California Congressman Ro Khanna. Be sure to join us on Free Speech TV at 5pm EST, 2pm PST for a wide-ranging conversation about the recent attacks on critical parts of our government and the lawless behavior of Donald Trump and all the wealthy parasites using him to steal your family’s future. Here’s a quick preview:
RICK: As this goes forward, Democrats have got to get out and do more than just file lawsuits and make speeches from the floor. They've got to do more of what you've been doing, coming on programs like this, getting out there, holding town halls, rallies, more mobilization and organizing. Is the party up to it?
RO KHANNA: We're getting there. Look, we had our tail between our legs for the first two months after we lost. It was directionless. It was spineless. There were members going and saying, let me figure out how we work with Donald Trump. All of that has gone out the window. And now people are saying, OK, this president is using unconstitutional means. We've got to not give him any votes on the debt ceiling, any votes in the budget.
We've got to get out with people like you, Rick, who are incredible. progressive activists, voters, ordinary voters in Pennsylvania, around the country, and we've got to make the case. Because who's going to save democracy is less about the members of Congress, though we are on the front tip of the spear.
It's your listeners. It's people like you who are going to talk to their neighbors, talk to their friends, talk to their families and say, “Is this really what you voted for?”
I get you voted against offshoring. I get you voted against a decrepit, sclerotic Democratic Party, which is filled with career politicians and you want to change. I get that you voted for someone who's going to shake things up. But did you really vote for cuts in basic funding and programs?
The best part about it, Rick, that is maybe we're finally going to get to make the argument that government is good - that government does a lot of good things.
This is our opportunity to do it.
