This week, California Representative Ro Khanna returns to the podcast to challenge Biden’s neoliberal approach to rising oil and food prices across the country. He also answers questions about the divisive endorsement of Nomiki Konst for NY state senate over a DSA endorsed candidate, the Billionare Republican within a hair’s breadth of becoming mayor of LA, Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s response to Abby Martin’s call for America to have a more forceful rebuke of Israel in the wake of Shireen Abu Akleh’s murder, and more.

Maybe if we could get the President to support it, maybe we could get it to pass in the House so maybe the Senate will take it up for a vote where it will DIE has got to be the most depressing and realistic synopsis of all government action these days.

Ro’s explanation of the Konst endorsement: “I don’t know anything about NY politics but I am friends personally with Nomiki so I just endorsed her.”

Also “there are multiple progressives” is BS. Where I live, candidates just call themselves progressive by virtue of having a D next to their name and Ro throws in with that kind of thing. I heard a centrist politician here say that he thinks it’s “really the progressives vs the leftists, and I’m a progressive.” It’s a meaningless label now.

What is the added value of talking to Khanna? As clever as your questions may be, no matter if you corner him or if he still manages to squirm out of it - it doesn't bring any new insights. We, your followers, already all know what kind of personality he is. The same is true for Democratic Party candidates. Unless they're already attracting attention by formulating concrete (!) strategies for how they're going to shake up the party, listening to their platitudes for over an hour is tiring and a waste of your talent.

Kudos to him for continuing to come on, but every time he does I am reaffirmed in my opinion that Ro Khanna is not good.

This is a huge part of it. How much of Bri's audience want to hear this? I know I don't. I don't waste my time w/these episodes. I've heard it all before and I'm getting too old to listen to BS anymore. I have better things to do w/my time, like listen to Stranger Things podcasts instead.

I think the issue is that he's the only one from the "progressive caucus" that is willing to come on.

I really hate these discussions where they seem to ignore the fact that supply and demand are imaginary, for lack of better term. So there's more demand, why does that mean the price goes up? It's not physics, it's economics. Set a price cap on it. He's on here arguing against neoliberal politics but still existing inside of a capitalist supply and demand framework. Maybe the issue is we need to get out of a mindset that involves capitalism

I understand the frustration in the comments section, but I don’t understand not wanting to even hear from people who believe in capitalism, or don’t believe in nationalizing industries or capping prices. People who hold these beliefs are the ones who need to be nudged in order to make headway toward progressive goals. Yes, it seems impossible at times, but what other choice is there? Taking things by force? How exactly is that going to work? Idealism and righteous anger feel good, but pragmatism has a much better track record of getting results. Is there anything this guy is promoting that would be in the direction of your ultimate goals? At least he has to face some tough questions and be put on the record. Which is why I subscribe to this podcast. If it’s just a matter of the entertainment value, I understand. The way politicians speak is just so damned fake and off-putting. Listening to new progressive ideas is more entertaining and even more intellectually stimulating, but it also feels like getting excited and setting expectation that are bound to disappoint. I don’t see a revolution as the realistic path to progress. I see a boring and tedious uphill slog. And to be clear, you would probably not count me as a progressive, but I do feel like we need new and clever ideas to deal with some of the problems at hand. So I would like to see a strong contribution from progressives.

Honestly, at this point, it is the entertainment value because I don't buy anything from any politician anymore, no matter left, right, Mars. So, it's just not entertaining. It's just a waste of time. I don't listen to these anymore. And it's a lot of them lately. I know, it's likely because elections are coming up, but I don't care. I want good, entertaining convos and these pol interviews ain't it.

Lol lol another Ro episode, nice, saves me an hour of my podcast schedule to skip it 😆

Not wasting time listening to the opinion of an uninformed moron.

I think Ro gets a perverse pleasure out of it. He can say that he will go on just about any Lefty show, unlike all the other so-called Progressives in Congress. I also think he's gonna run in 2024. Watch out for a book deal and a trip to Iowa coming up next.

To pols: Talk = Action Support = Votes Pragmatism = Status quo They're all gaslighting liars who's only goal is to stay I office log enough to get a sweet pension, a future lobbyist/pundit gig, and maybe a book deal or paid speaking tour. Everyone, no matter how naive or fiery going in, sees the corrupt system and opts to protect and enrich themselves. If the ca$h doesn't sway them, then the threats to future livelihood or family or their own lives is employed. That's when they start justifying their actions by saying they're better than the Rethugs. Period.
