Ro Khanna is the U.S. Representative for California's 17th Congressional District (Silicon Valley) since 2017, serving his fifth term as a Democrat. Born to Indian immigrant parents, Khanna graduated Phi Beta Kappa with a B.A. in economics from the University of Chicago and earned a J.D. from Yale Law School.

He taught economics at Stanford, worked in the Obama administration on commerce and manufacturing, and authored key provisions of the CHIPS and Science Act to boost U.S. tech manufacturing. A leader on climate, labor rights (supporting the PRO Act), and digital privacy, Khanna refuses PAC and lobbyist contributions and has championed bipartisan efforts like the Epstein Files Transparency Act (2025) for releasing sealed documents.

In late 2025, he faced Silicon Valley backlash for supporting a proposed wealth tax on billionaires to fund healthcare amid Medicaid cuts. Khanna advocates for progressive economic patriotism, reducing inequality, and ethical tech governance while working across the aisle on national security and innovation. Married to Ritu Ahuja Khanna, with two children, he resides in Fremont.

That's so crazy he's your guest... i have as of 2 days ago started looking in to him because of what he said on the floor ..

The Hoff

Man trying to walk in middle of the road gets hit by cars going both ways. I understand your intentions, and will listen with scepticism.

EpsteinJustice.com Massie and Khanna are supportive of Nick Bryants org. We need your help! EpsteinJustice.com sign up for our town hall on Zoom. Thursday @ 8pm on the 15th. Sign up & see you there.

Sam Morris

Thank you Shawn. I've only just started listening but as a father of a young girl I'm so grateful that voices like yours are out there trying to make the world a safer place.

josh

You start by taking action in the name of the lord jesus christ, you start solidifying your family unit stop for selfish, crap, deny your flesh focus on your addictions and erase them through your effort and the grace of Jesus Christ. focus on being a good human being in the name of Jesus Christ talk to your kids become a dangerous gentleman. Defend, what's yours quit Being surprised that evil is overtaking children. This is no secret that its spiritual warfare.So why fight with human things?Fight with spiritual things.Fight.The name of Jesus Christ.. As I kingdom comes, thy will be done on earth. As it is in heaven parasitists are daily bread. Forgive us of our debts.As we have forgiven, our debtors lead us not in temptation, but delivers from the evil one

josh

This is what happens when a nations leaders in the majority of citizens, given the red dot map of child sex abuse material takes over the moral fabric of what this country is becoming. God is giving us what we have sinfully inquired. This doesn't mean that the children deserve this or any body however sin has a payment. It is bitter, it is distasteful.It is beyond our ability to comprehend, fear the lord. If you ever picked up the bible and truly try to study it you will see that time and time again, even the 12 tribes of Israel still fill back into sin. In all the way through the Babylonian empire, there was always a redeemer. It may have taken decades.If not generations, but god will never leave you.Nor forsake you

Maxime

Thanks Shawn. After the light hearted mentalist episode, thats a heavy one. Btw for anyone interested in the subject, Dalton Fischer has interviewed an Epstein victim, was very intesting what she had to say and very different of what I expected

Sharon Fahey

You know Trump was giving a lot of money to Democrats before he ever ran for office. Now, he's making deals with so many dirty people and terrorists so I have to ask, were we fooled??

Sharon Fahey

They're probably the same people committing so much fraud against American tax payers.

Sharon Fahey

Could this have been why Bongino quit and Patel looks so discouraged?

Sharon Fahey

I hate both parties! Different names, same old song.

Sharon Fahey

So, why weren't you Democrats so patriotic that you didn't prosecute Clinton for destroying evidence and her failure of Benghazi! If anyone is expecting a Democrat president to release them without lying your crazy. And Shawn, if Mossad is involved then so is the CIA. If people only focus on an entity that they hate then the truth will never come out.

Sharon Fahey

I love how Democrats care so much when we have a Republican president.

Matthew Begovich

I somehow like you even more after this interview so far lol. BASED

Sharon Fahey

Why not bring down Roblox instead of just allowing him back on?

Sharon Fahey

What does he mean by unless your a coach or something!?

Sharon Fahey

Most small businesses pay over 50% in taxes, not corporations. I love how he's kissing the military ass, so sickening.

Sharon Fahey

Piece of garbage! Israel is our ally. Whatever is given to Israel boosts American economy. What about the billions we gave Al Quida in weaponry, terrorists, who call for death to America! Israel stands with us whether anyone likes it or not. There were no innocent people in Gaza, none. The ones that didn't want to be there under Hamas left in the beginning before the IDF even went in That war was on their own land, we would do the same thing.

linda garbarino

Epstein files of films goes back to the 70's. Old style video cameras were used. Films used to be cut and dubbed with tape.

Sharon Fahey

Look at what you Democrats who have no sense of honor or service to the people who have used your power to destroy us and our country.

Mark Martin

How do we convince Americans to take part in what makes America Great? It is really damn easy. Stop participating in what is wrong and tearing down our country. Prosecute Government officials who have egregiously harmed our country just because they refuse to promote what they know is right because the other party introduced it. When we see criminals in politics wearing orange we might start believing in you again. Start by getting rid of the insider trading that is making millionaires out 200k salaried public servants. Stop shoving Biblically immoral lifestyles and abusing our children down our throats. You shall no them by their deeds!

Bubba Oh Seven

Maybe instead of bringing on Democrat politicians who get paid by Our Tax Dollars, then join their Democrat colleagues to destroy what we have, and invite MILLIONS of Destructive Foreign Nationals across our borders to Vote against us and soak up our Tax Dollars that our own Citizens can't even get. Go back to Hunter Biden again. I trust him to be a scumbag without dressing in a suit and making Laws against us.

Fam

This is a good interview thank you

MJ

It’s way too late, politicians are live on pink clouds of illusion. People are revolting and refusing to pay taxes NOW, and somehow asking for more right now makes sense? It’s too late, we are the majority and the sea is rising.

Sharon Fahey

Constitution of States, we have the Constitutional right when our government has become so corrupt against the people, to enact.

Cody Lambert

Since some of the survivors are known now, why couldn’t Shawn have them and their lawyers on the show? Let them out these people that are being protected. He’s big enough to make that happen.

DAB Enterprises, LLC

Glad Ro is behind this cause, kudos, but it and he comes under the broken clock rule. He's still a politician. These scum will NEVER see justice until as someone below said, they stand before God.

Michael D Mann Sr.

Respectfully disagree with your statement at 20 Minutes in

Julie

Shawn, your statement at 20 minutes is shocking. As I said to someone in the comment section above who agrees with me, your comment is flat out a FALSE STATEMENT that should be getting the attention of the DOJ or FBI. The White House is not doing the redacting or the withholding. Trump has said he wants the documents released. I believe him. The reason they haven't been released is George Soros influence purchasing. The very same reason the Clintons are not the lease bit concerned about criminal contempt charges for defying a Congressional subpoena regarding Epstein. Blatantly false statements made with conviction by the main stream media are a huge part of the reason our country is in the trouble it's in right now. Please don't be like them.

Toby Crocker

Ro only came on here because he wants to run for president and is trying to build his reach. He's pro "gender affirming care for minors", takes a ton of money from CCP donors, thinks sending billions overseas is the "right thing to do", thought Biden was "totally coherent", thought the Afghanistan withdrawal was "courageous", and approved appointing Harris as the nominee without any sort of democratic process.

Toby Crocker

Also, gotta call myself out. I commented before watching. I stand by what I said, but it was an incomplete observation. I don't like Ro but on the issue of accountability and government transparency we agree and I appreciate his efforts.

Jen

That was a great interview. I’m so glad that you interview all types of people. I hate the media silo’s of “like minded” people. It is very informative to hear different views. We have more in common with each other,

Angela

Trump signed to get the files released. I think Bondi needs to GO! Why won’t Trump dump her ass? I’m sure if the Dems win the house and senate back next year Ro will be voting to impeach Trump on bullshit. Honestly, I don’t recall Trump running on this and why was Ro quiet when Biden was in office about the files???

Jordan Dunigan

Say what you want bout his comment at 20 but the question still remains… why don’t we have the files?! And why would the comment “are we still talking about J Epstein” be made of they weren’t!!

MR

Wow this was a great interview. Very refreshing to hear at least some folks on both sides of the aisle are can be reasonable and still share values that us citizens have. Ro Khanna is a Democrat I respect. Thank you Shawn and Ro.

Toby Crocker

Yeah, this is a great interview. I definitely jumped the gun on talking shit. Thanks Ro and Shawn, my apologies.

Scott

The names thing really bothers me, all victims, witnesses and "suspects". I think what is hard just because a name appears in a file does not mean the person was a paedophile, perhaps an unfound accusation, a witness that lied. I get releasing files is transparency but also understand the need to redact parts. The line is fuzzy, also I question timing, did democrats purposely withhold info documents from AG Pam Bondi knowing the team could never get through all the "found" documents in New York in 30 days.

Kelly Starr

Shawn you are the fucking man you ask all the questions that the public wants to know like you can’t tell me they can’t figure out how to redact the victims names and then put the files out if it was some other bullshit that we wanted we would have it in a matter of minutes

Shana Hatch

And guess what…. The Clintons didn’t show up for their questioning. Let’s see if they are really held in contempt.

Toby Crocker

Used to love Bernie until he rolled over for Hillary in 2016. He promised a contested convention and caved. AOC was a huge inspiration for me at one point also. But they sold us down river for sure, with the Biden cover up, with the Harris appointment. And they're both mouthpieces for the Tribalism. Bernie's a broken record at this point. AOC.... she's gone full Pelosi. It'll be interesting to hear what they have to say when you get them on. Kudos to you bro. This is the convo America needs.

Ryan Kelly

Holy shit this should be good to listen to this weasel make excuses for everything

Ryan Kelly

Why does EVERY WHITE HOUSE protect pedophiles, Shawn? You’re angry about this, which is obviously the right emotion. However, this guy and Massie didn’t do ANYTHING on this for YEARS, but now all of a sudden they want justice? I don’t think a single person in congress actually cares about this at all. They are all protecting themselves, not the citizens. At first I thought “let Shawn let these guys hang themselves”… but now I’m thinking you need to push back harder on these guys when they filibuster in an interview. They can say whatever they want - but dig into their records and see if they have actually ever pushed to release the files.

Shawn Osborn

He had put his work in on destroying California

Sharon Fahey

Every word coming out of his mouth is such a leftist Socialist word. He commends everything that is turning our country into a wasteland. He's using the victims and Epstein files as leverage for endorsement. One good bill or appeal doesn't erase the hundreds of critically disastrous ones they've passed. It's sickening if he thinks he will ever appeal to military or veteran voters, he has no integrity at all.

Nicoli7153

It's about honor and staying true to your word. Which seems to have become passe to many. If you do not have honor and do not live an honorable life you are nothing!!!

SunkotaRidgeBaskets

I would love to see the Epstein victims have their day! As horrible as this is we can’t forget about the adrenochrome babies who are placed in hideous fear and then murdered for the adrenochrome! Again politicians, Hollywood and others who use this are fully aware of where it comes from and don’t care! The people who guard these sickos are just as guilty! Epstein-USAID NGOs-Ukraine-Somalians-illegals! If Elon Musk had been allowed to expose the Congressional Criminals and others many of these people would have been exposed and arrested! Even if the doors of Congress had to close due to all involved would be awesome we would not be paying these criminals while they are also stealing from us. I bet there are many on all the lists of corruption and it would open the other illegal activities! Also, I am not one who agrees that everyone gets an award! If taxes went away or severely reduced everyone would have more to bank however I don’t believe it should be on the backs of rich individuals who built their success! If taxes were like TN and people kept more of their money, it should be parents who teach their children , you know what it takes for college, if you don’t put time into studies then have a plan we all approve of!

Shush

Kevin Annett is someone who might know more about what's going on. It's a lot bigger than what you think. He connects the dots. Worth having a private convo with. You can see some of his interviews on YouTube with other hosts. He could be a good ally for Ryan Montgomery. He isn't tech savvy. He is just a guy who's done his research.

Steve usmc

Good interview. Don’t agree with his progressive views, but if he is genuine, we need more like him to work for the people vs the party. Also hate when he and others say we are a democracy. The founders purposely opposed democracy in favor of a republic, for good reason.

Zib

Another awesome interview Shawn!! Thank you for being you and so neutral for information and truth!! 🙏🏼❤️💯🎯

Dino Fonz

Shouldn’t be giving asshats like this leftist a platform imho…. I know you’re doing your best to be an objective podcaster but did we run out of people of sound logical minds?

Norris aka Norri-san

New member to the community thanks shawn for what you do I've been podcast crazy for a couple of years I uses to watch them all....now I only watch one 🇮🇪❤️🙌

Charles Coachman

I live in Silicon Valley and I don't believe in what Ro does on most things, but on the Epstein files, I want them released. Our state has been run into the ground and there is a lot progressive thinking that is eating this state up. I've lived in the Bay Area my entire life and now at 67 years old and caring for my wife who had a bad stroke 4 years ago, we may have to leave the state because the writing is on the wall for us. Our state is going to run out of billionaires quickly and then our one sided legislature will be putting the screws to us in the middle and lower middle class for more tax revenue. We put out more money for illegal aliens to live in our state, than we do for our own citizens that truly need the help. CA is a beautiful state, but our governor and legislature have used our tax dollars as a progressive slush fund! Ro is tied right into it! Great Show Shawn Ryan! Cheers to your continued success!

Dylan Stockman

So Shawn....you're saying there's a CHANCE you'll run for office?? 😂

Trace

He’s so scared to blame Israel lol

Kyle Girdler

All of the victims are now over 18 just release all the files unredacted get them in Congress’s hand can be done with

Ron

Release the Files !!!

Bob Ogg

Hopefully Mr. Khanna can assist in getting some of those people he mentioned at the end. It would be good to hear what they say in an actual interview.

Chris Clark

This Ro dude is a joke. Typical slippery politician. Claims we wasted a bunch of money in Argentina and Venezuela, but failed to mention Ukraine? Says the Clinton’s aren’t dodging testimony? It’s just a scheduling issue? Come on Shawn, drill harder on these guys.

Kimmie

They are protecting the victims-women & men so they won’t be killed or embarrassed.

Dustin Rust

I wish we had a king kicking doors down here and afar, hunting the ones who wish to do evil against us. The accomplishments of this administration will have no weight if you allow the extreme level of sex trafficking that has happened go unpunished, the democrats arrested people for nothing and the trump admin won’t even do a perp walk we never won. It’s all Epstein don’t forget pizzagate, Clinton’s emails and the whole Hollywood abuse we could be arresting people and getting them to turn but no let them go to another island and resume the wickedness and learn from the mistakes don’t get caught this time but if you do “no big deal”

Pugley

He sounds good for a democrat but his words mean next to nothing after the pork fill bill flew thru Congress this past Wednesday. Your buddy Tim B went on line a spoke about how disgusted he was.

Pete Palmgren

Who are Ro’s constituents? Not me! If he wants to take care of children then why is he not working on the $200 billion plus fraud in his state. Is that not a way to help children? Child care, Medicare California care and all the others that are there to help the people of California. While I want justice for all the people involved with Epstein, I feel the shell game is going on to pull the sheet over his state’s fraud and cry out Look over here at the Epstein crap and all I’m doing. Over $200 billion of Our hard earned tax dollars that deserves some handcuffs also. I am also a Vet, never was asked or ordered to go into battle and I will never think or speak that I know how all of the Vet’s that did go feel or think. I was offended when Ro used the WE word in that part of the interview. The tax thing is horrible 5% on forecasted revenue. Ask him what is happening to the value of his trillion dollar area now. It’s not even voted in and multiple billion dollar businesses have left. Living in Florida and also moving the business. How is that helping California and their people? How is that American by picking out the certain rich and taxing only them? California is a beautiful place with a bunch of great people that has been corrupted by greedy power hungry people. Ro Khanna is Newsom’s mini-me. Same corrupt individual that speaks a great line of BS an expert at CYA . He talked about putting term limits on politicians. Seems he has been in it a while. Is he grandfathered in? Or is he going to back out? Whole bunch of bad narcissistic people. Let’s all fight for the children and justice. Turn on the fan to blow the smoke away from Ro’s agenda.

Chris Clark

Question: how exactly does raising taxes fill

Chris Clark

One more thought. Watch this guy and what he’s super concerned about once Trump is out of office. If he’s still fired up about Rape Island, ill

Gary Bradford

Increase self governance?! By tax? Not an American value to say the very least. They are only seeking dollars to fix their failed policies. Fuck him and people that think like him. I’ll keep my fucking money and you can give yours up. Do politicians support the American people? Mostly not. Why fucking have them? They’re idiots!

Gary Bradford

He also said that he and everyone in government did nothing about Epstein in the past decades. Fuck that mother fucker!

Gary Bradford

I can’t hear this politician anymore.

Dennis Heher

Ro Khanna is a socialist anti-American democrat. He and many leftist politicians aren't coming on Shawn's show to 'work across the aisle.' They are coming on hear to wrap their messaging in a context that masks their true intent. Ro Khanna is for open borders, amnesty/citizenship for all. I do not believe for a second that he is on here to get to the bottom of Epstein. The only reason he has suddenly started caring is because he thinks he can use it to make the Republicans look bad.

CarolM

Shawn, it's nice you have a range of points of view on your show. But the naïveté is a bit much. Khanna wants to imposes huge taxes on Americans when we are in the midst of a taxpayer rape like no one has ever seen--to wit, USAID, Medicare and Medicaid a la MN daycares and CA home health care and illegal alien health care, etc. This is madness. "The Epstein Files," what a crock. We know who was on the island--Bill Clinton was probably the biggest client. Just look at his flight logs, which have been available for years. I am still wondering why the victims can't just name names. They have NDA's, but who is going to enforce them? We know who was staying at Epstein's, the names have been out for years. Khanna stood by for years while his party raped the country with tax money going to NGOs to launder back to his party and importing millions of illegals to replace YOU, Shawn. Please, stop being a tool of the bad guys.

AFjoe

This guy is a commie politician. Send him Hunter, and Gavin to China where they can live happy….they are not going to change…just spread their BS and propaganda!

Chris S

You’ve had nick bryant on..we know who’s on the list..get together with guys like him and some attorneys and bring the victims out with whistleblower protections..Bryant has the list..Ro khanna likes to pretend he’s a moderate because he saw his party going down the drain but we all know he’s anti American anti constitution socialist piece of trash

Sharon Fahey

But who controls them? But old Ro doesn't seem to be too concerned about it. I know what they are doing so far but I'll bet there's more neferious things they have planned. SO, how can we cut the head off the snake?

Steven Peters

Thanks Shawn for your diverse pick of guests. We appreciate you Sir. First thing I believe people like your guest should realize that it’s the Santa Clara valley. People like this really need to look at history. No matter how near or far. Thanks Again Shawn!

Stephen Casey

What that makes him think that suddenly when someone gets in government, they turn over a new leaf and are morally pure? Federal government waste just as much money as local governments. The government is not some savior that’s gonna fix everybody’s problems; it’s the individual seeking their own needs.

Gary W

If Ro’s lips are moving he’s lying! Guess who didn’t vote to hold the Clinton’s in contempt yesterday over the Epstein hearings? Yep, this 💩

Pia

News Flash ! It’s not “in this country” , it’s the entire world! And it’s in every family. It’s your uncle, your neighbor, your grandfather, your dad’s friend, your brother’s friends…. It’s the people you’d least expect. It knows no class , it doesn’t discriminate, it’s the world we live in. You ask what parents can do…. You do as I did …. Have five children over a span of 21 years and two marriages…. You KNOW that no one can be trusted with your children….. that’s right … NO ONE …. You be a parent … a protector …YOU DO YOUR JOB …. DILIGENCE…. NEVER let your guard down…. That’s the ONLY way to protect your children from this . I wasn’t tall enough to reach the faucet at the kitchen sink the first time I was sexually assaulted…. I grew up hearing “Oh she’s so beautiful … such a pretty little girl…. What beautiful eyes she has …. “ I used to think my “beauty” was curse! …. There were predators in EVERY aspect of my life … I EXPERIENCED IT. I learned to navigate through it … avoid situations where I’d be most vulnerable . Never told a single living soul until my first child was born …. When I became a mother, there were zero people on my “100% trust with my children” list. If I experienced it , others did as well admittedly or not . Some use that as an excuse for those who molest …. That’s bullshit ! Those who are molested and then molest are simply a lower form of human than those of us who do not . Lower IQ for certain . To inflict all those conflicting feelings on another human being is inhuman . I could go on and on and on…. The book I could write …. I will add that the first man in my life who set an example of how a father/ daughter - man/child relationship should be was my step father. I am very lucky to have had this in my life. He was the first person to come close to making my “trust with my children” list.

Thomas

As a postscript...many of us know Rho Khanna is not who he presents himself to be. Currently I am seeing that it is being reported that disgraced congressman Eric Swalwell is implicating Khanna is some form of scandal. Stay tuned. tps
