joining me now is congressman ro khanna of california, who has been a big champion for progressive causes that young people care about. he is a member of the congressional progressive caucus in the house and co- chair of bernie sanders' 2020 campaign. i want to start by getting your take on something a new york times analysis piece set about how the supreme court rulings offer democrats a potential way forward. it said quote, the court's decision could fuel broader outreach to the working-class voters who have drifted away from the party because of what they see as its elitism. of course if you agree with that, how do you think democrats could use these recent rulings to more effectively reach out to working-class voters? >> well, the court is moving us backwards and young people, in particular, are outraged that the court is taking away the relief of student loans. they are moving to a time where colleges used to be just for the wealthy and largely white, so i do think this could energize young people in particular. on working-class voters, i think what the president is doing is biden no

one representative ro khanna. he asked for goidance on the technology on ai. it focuses on how federal agencies can use it on their website. his office used chatgpt to write it. he wanted to show how it can speed up work without necessarily replacing people. the version chatgpt wrote was just a first draft. >>> schoolchildren are getting ready to go back to school in a matter of weeks. for many the favorite subject is lunch. one school district is letting them make the decision on what they want on the menu. the unique opportunity the district is giving students. >> at the bottom of my list was beef stew, never ate it. i never had a chance to voice my displeasure. >> are you loving it? i love hearing it. >> reporter: lunch time is the best time. this summer there's been something different on the menu. >> we have a new item, the same sauce with roasted cauliflower. will you try it and tell me if you like it? >> reporter: she calls herself a costco sample presenter giving children samples of nontraditional foods they might like this school year. >> i wonder if

in the house, representatives khanna and buyer reintroduced term limits. candidate adam schiff is taking it a step further, campaigning on adding seats to the supreme court. so far, president biden has been hesitant. here's what he told my colleague nicolle wallace last week. >> if we start the process of trying to expand the court, we're going to politicize it maybe forever in a way that is not healthy. >> that you can't get back. >> that you can't get back. >> here to discuss is basil smikle, former director of the new york party. do you think that most people can get behind term limits as opposed to expansion of the court? >> well, that's where the difficulty is. i think voters want some kind of reform, not just because of the recent decisions but because of the concerns around ethics. something needs to get done. the question is, what's the best way forward. president biden had his own commission established to look at this, and they weren't even tasked with specific recommendations and there was concern, not just concern, there was some discrepancy as

that's why it's so important to have someone like ro khanna from the technology innovation capital ofmerica to be acting as a thought leader on these issues. one thing i know for certain is that if we pause or if we fail to strike the appropriate balance between guarding against the worst use cases of a.i., the killer robot hypothesis, while also ensuring that we dominate the innovation in this space, the chinese communist party will beat us in the a.i. race. and i can guarantee you they will use this technology for evil. so finding a way in which we keep our foot on the gas when it comes to innovation but take the concerns about ethical use of a.i. seriously is the balance we have to strike going forward. >> chairman gallagher, congressman khana mentioned you sat down with elon musk for a chat on twitter spaces about a.i. musk said that he believes china is on team humanity. that's a term he used, and that china would be willing to work with the international community on common guidelines for a.i. do you agree with that, chairman gallagher, that china's on team humanity? >> i disagr

khanna for the way he has worked with me to use the subcommittee to explore ai concepts. we had a fascinating discussion with elon musk last week. there were some sources of disagreement. mister musk believes china is on team humanity. i'm not persuaded on that point and the only thing i've become convinced is the ccp if they win this competition or win the ai component of this competition will likely use that technology for evil as a way of perfecting oppressive totalitarian surveillance state as well as exporting that model around the world whereas we and the free world at least have a chance of using it for good. to make sense of these things we are lucky to have three incredible witnesses. mr. francesca block -- alxandr wang is the most successful and mighty dropout of all time at this point. a unique subset of people qualify there. mr. kitchen is a senior fellow at the american enterprise institute and someone many of us on capitol hill look for for advice when talking about intersection of technology and warfare and then data robot is an absolute ai expert, i've bee

. >> ro khanna manages to come off as one of the lesser insane democrats in washington but i don't know in there as a member, watches those hearings and license to that testimony and walks away with the conclusion that this was just all normal behavior, this is how everybody gets treated. we're talking about felony charges of tax evasion, felony charges of filing false reports that hunter biden was not charged with, along with all of the other stuff surrounding it, the special treatment surrounding it and ro khanna looks at this and says see, this proves he got treated no differently than anybody else. joey: depends on where in the stream of information you start. if you start with hunter biden didn't pay his taxes and he should be penalized for that, i think that's exactly where democrats started and ended with it. one democrat said something like well, he paid that back. the whistleblower had to explain once you break the law, doesn't matter if you go back and a pay the fine. so the question is, is this democrats attempting to sweep under the rug or ignore all the information even fro

congressman khanna, joe manchin says he's going to take a little time, he's not deciding right now. how seriously do you think he is considering mounting a third-party run? >> i respect senator manchin. we work cooperatively to get the ira passed. i'm hopeful that he will run in west virginia. he can carry that seat. my view is that's what he will end up doing. >> reporter: are you concerned at all, though, that he may mount a third-party run? >> well, look, my concern is with the no labels agenda, let's just be clear what it is because the american people will not embrace it. you've got joe lieberman as the founder, who is the biggest advocate for the war in iraq. both parties have rejected that. you've got them advocating cuts in social security. both joe biden and donald trump are against that. they're advocating for a '90s sentism that hollowed out manufacturing in this country that made our jobs go offshore. john huntsman didn't get more than 1% when he ran for president because people said they wanted jobs in the midwest. joe biden and donald trump are far more in touch with t

congressman khanna says it would create an 18 year term limit for justices appointed after the law iscted. presidents would nominate a new justice every odd year and justices would no longer have an incentive to plan their retirements around whichever party holds the white house. the goal of the bill is to restore judicial independence, he says, and ensure that justices are not too far out of step with the current generation. a recent poll says 68% of americans support term limits for the supreme court. hold your breath. terrifying video of a child falling from a zipline in mexico and surviving an update on his condition. and the investigation into the incident. and hollywood is mourning tonight. oscar winning actor alan arkin has passed away after the break, we'll take a look at hi falling from a zip line in mexico. he was riding the zip line at parque fundido. amazonian expedition. when his harness suddenly failed, he lost. he fell almost 40ft. but thankfully landed in an artificial pool. a post on the family's facebook page says the tourist named cesar rescuedim. the zip line has s

earlier, i spoke to congressman ro khanna, who was at the hearing today.we saw technology and ai leaders raise the alarm, saying that the us military needs to move faster and try to integrate ai because that is what the chinese government is doing. what did you make of that? i thought they were optimistic of what we had done better, we had better datasets in our military, we have combined, when you look at the private sector and the department of defence, more spending, but they are saying that china is doubling down of the strategy and obviously has a lot of public data and we have to be intentional about making sure that we take the lead and keep the lead in the military applications of hacker0ne. precisely on the question of data, alexander wang, the ceo of scale ai, responding to a question that you asked him, he says the military needs to be able to develop ai quickly and reliably. this is what he said. as we look to applying artificial intelligence to the military, we need to have military ready datasets ready for this kind of deployment. do you agre

you heard congressman ro khanna say look, i'm going to take david weiss's word on this. he had -- he says he had the authority to pursue the charges and the full authority, but the same time in the same statement from david weiss he said he was geographically limited where he could charge hunter for taxes. i'm wondering, your republicans, i imagine the first people you want to speak to. >> oh, yeah, absolutely and i think that -- and i think that a lot more about this is going to come out if for no other reason because of the statement. the statement made absolutely no sense. the very meat of the pressure that people suspect was born by weiss is the fact that he was geographically limited. so when he says i had free rein and ultimate authority any way i wanted and any place i wanted but was geographically limited, like saying yes/no, and i'm not guilty but i'm guilty. there is no doubt that hunter biden got unbelievable cover, and the entire biden family, not just about hunter biden, the entire biden family because of so many of the questions we are talking about here do

i have congresswoman ro khanna.ple stuck for four hours, couldn't go anywhere. they are told you move away from your seat you lose your seat. i thought we were fixing this so those things wouldn't happen. >> i heard this anecdotally. people in my district who were on the tarmac for 3 or 4 hours and told that they couldn't get off, there need to be more fines, more accountability. the air system is not where it needs to be. diane: know this isn't your area but why can't they just run the air conditioning? it's 120 °. turn it on. >> they should have. they should be serving water. they have to serve water every hour and i was talking to constituents who said they weren't getting water, they had a young daughter on the plane. it's a mess but is about what are transportation needs to have better standards, fines and accountability. neil: i want to get your thoughts because within your district and your neck of the woods, talented writers and actors on strike which could drag on a while. going to the movies this weekend,

some democrats, like congressman ro khanna and congressman don beyer, have also proposed legislationerm limits or expanding the court. but president biden argues that could lead to even more politicization of the court. i >> put together a threat of constitutional scholars to try to expand the court, which i think is a mistake after all the judgment was that doesn't make sense. it can become so politicized in the future. i think if we start the process of trying to expand the court, we are going to politicize it may be forever in a way that is not healthy. >> that you can't get back. >> that he can't get back. >> joining me now, msnbc law and politics analyst, legal correspondent, author of lady justice and host of the amicus podcast. dahlia, thank you very much for coming back to the show. the president has been clear that he doesn't want to expand the supreme court. but this is not a, quote, normal court. what are the options here. >> there is many many options, the lowest hanging fruit's ethics codes, either asking to impose one on itself, or efforts to impose one on the court. an

i saw one member of congress i think it was ro khanna comparing to one of the whistleblowers to shahn trying to make his family. is he making millions of dollars from for no apparent and son of a very powerful politician if that is what they are stooping too. it's hard to overstate how weak that is. ♪ cross that line ♪ it won't take long to find out ♪ i recommend you don't ♪ try that in a small town >> i was so impressed with the song. >> small towns now they have their priorities right. i'm shocked by what they are seeing in this country with people attempting to cancel the song and cancel jason and his beliefs. >> we're back with the panel. the song igniting culture wars anew today. take a look at variety. jason aldean already had the most contemptible song of the decade the video was worse. what do you think? >> i think if you don't know the history involved with that courthouse, you would say what's the big deal. this is court why are they picking on that guy. i happen to know that history because i wrote a biography of thurston marshall. he has almost lynched as a result of a tr

ro khanna, when he was questioning gary shapley, got him to admit that the "vast majority" of cases liketer's, that go before the tax counsel, they decide not to charge. he also got gary shapley to admit that he never said that merrick garland lied to congress. so that is a right wing talking point. there is always a timeline problem, and this happened with the twitter files, too, where i heard all about that pesky biden administration that wanted to censor everyone and then it turned out that the dates didn't align and that it was the trump administration. so, ziegler's testimony -- and there are mainstream news outlets that are posting snippets of his testimony, not admitting the fact the irs investigators, when they were talking to appointees in the doj about going forward, were trump appointees. it was bill barr. david weiss, also a trump appointee. it's true. he said he was someone who shared his vision for making america safe again. >> jesse: blocked from bringing felony charges on two separate -- >> jessica: he sent another letter saying -- >> jeanine: at the time they made contem

this is ro khanna talking about this hunter biden investigation. >> we had president trump appoint a.s. attorney in delaware, and president biden had the ability to fire that u.s. attorney if he wanted. president biden didn't fire the u.s. attorney. he had his past opponent's appointee have total power over making a decision on. >> kayleigh: but, sir what the whistleblower is saying is weiss, appointed by trump, said that he was not the deciding official. doesn't that directly contradict what the attorney general has said? >> but weiss is not saying that. isn't the source weiss? i mean, if weiss was saying that, i would have a concern. if weiss was out there saying, i didn't have total authority, there was interference, but weiss, weiss is the key person and he's not saying that. >> steve: and so i believe what the congressman is talking about, on friday, mr. weiss, who's the u.s. attorney for the district of delaware where they've been doing this five-year investigation, appointed by donald trump. he sent a two-page letter to jim jordan and members of the republicans up on capitol h

here's what congressman ro khanna told me in the last hour. >> ultimately, i think people are going todo we really want to president who's got all these lawsuits? it is going to have the ability to focus on improving our lives and doing the job of the presidency? >> let's go right to nbc's ryan riley in washington d.c.. brian and how significant is the date for the documents trial, and could trump face even more trials? >> but they just very significant for the documents trial, because it really is a smacked of in the middle of this primary calendar. it would happen, basically with a trial wrapping up just before the republican national convention was about to get underway. so basically, that primary would be decided at that point. you know, just based upon how busy the schedule is getting, the next year is really shaping up to be quite an ordeal. it's also important, because with those facts won't be on the board before voters who get to vote in several of the states, at least in the primary. they will be, of course, more information in the general but even we're talking about the fut

joining me now on is congressman ro khanna of california. he's been a proponent for causes the young people care about. he is a member of the -- he was a co-chair of bernie sanders 2020 campaign. i want to start by getting your take on something the new york times announced that how these supreme court rulings off of the republican party way forward. the court's decision could fuel broader outreach to the working class voters who have drifted away for the party because of what they see is it's a lead at some. of course, do you agree with that, but if you do, how do you think democrats can use these rallies to reach out to working class voters? >> jen, the court is moving us backwards. young people in particular are outraged that the court is taking away the relief of student loans. they're moving to a time where college is used to be just for the wealthy and i do think this can energize young people, in particular, are working class voters. they what the president's shooting and bidenomics and saying, i'm delivering what trump promised is pr
