congressman khanna, it's great to see you! start there with what we just heard from now president biden about this package. he, of course, ran on the idea of unity, trying to get bipartisan support. they're now essentially saying that's not necessarily what unity means and that this is very popular broadly with the country. what do you think you're actually going to be able to get done in this bill? do you think the minimum wage provision is going to stay in it? and do you think that handling it this way with reconciliation right out of the gate potentially is going to make it harder to work with republicans on other issues in the future? >> kasie, i'm pleased that president biden has been so strong on delivering for relief for working class and middle class americans, on delivering on tackling the pandemic. that is what he campaigned on. he said he was going to do this with the recovery. he said we were going to get monthly checks. he said we were going to tackle child poverty. he said that we were going to give americans a r

khanna: thank you. the gentleman from louisiana is recognized for five minutes. >> thank you for your work regarding the doj report on the trump administration child separation policy. the republic welcomes anyone to participate in the american dream while balancing the rule of law. for decades, our country has struggled with this balance. how do we as a country enforce our laws and protect our citizens while at the same time maintaining decency and compassion for those who are truly seeking refuge in our country? this should be a bipartisan effort to determine that balance. in addition to being a member of this committee, i served as a member on the homeland security committee, and as the ranking member of the board operations subcommittee. i have seen the challenges we face at our nation's southern border and i have to say we have serious challenges that are only further complicated by the biden administration's recent actions. in a video i am about to show you, you will see how more than ever we need

for more we are happy to be joined by at forementioned congressman ro khanna, democrat of california. and congressman, thank you very much for coming back on the broadcast. i guess i'd start this way. when members of congress from texas, you know who they are, they tend to be a vocal bunch, and politicians back home in texas ask you what's a liberal democrat from the bay area in california doing heading a hearing on our problem in our state, what's your answer? >> i'm a member of congress for the united states, and the subcommittee i chair on the environment, the oversight committee, has jurisdiction over the united states. this is our responsibility. and one of the most outrageous aspects of this crisis is politicians getting up there and lying to the american people that somehow this was caused by renewable energy when the facts are so obvious that the failure was actually a financial gas pipeline. yes, there was some failure of wind but wind is such a small percentage. texas has been largely dependent on natural gas. they failed to weatherize. they had this problem in 2011. there w

we'll see what happens, ro khanna, california congressman.erted, sir, to what kind of progress you're making on this move to try to find a way to salvage a higher minimum wage and help small businesses the process. meantime, fair and balanced. lance good den joining us, the texas republican. serves on the house financial services committee. congressman, good to have you. i don't know if you had a chance to hear that with ro khanna about finding a way to offer credits and the like to help small businesses absorb that higher minimum wage. what do you think of that? >> it's a nice gesture but this $15 number is too high. i don't believe it will get bipartisan support. doesn't have the support of the democrats in the senate. i think democrats in the house know that so they're trying to come up with these carrots to get a little more support on the side of their policy. with the issue as i think is that we have seen a covid relief bill come forward. 9%, less than 10% of what is in this bill will actually go to coronavirus relief. that is the frust

and joining us now is democratic congresswoman rowe khanna of california. i know you were upset about this ruling opinion. and you tweeted this. i'm sorry an unelected parliamentarian does not get to deprive 32 million americans the raise they deserve. this is an advisory, not a ruling. v.p. harris needs to zard and rule a $15 minimum wage in order. we were elected to deliver for the people. it's time we do our job. congressman, the white house made clear it doesn't plan to overall the parliamentarian orp the democrats don't have the votes to do that. where does it go from here. >> first of all, reconciliation says that anything that has a budget impact should be in. and if you raise the minimum wage you'd increase tax revenue. it clearly has a budget impact. the progressives are trying to organize to get the president and the white house to reconsider. because if vice-president harris rules it in, it would take 60 votes to overturn her decision. so there is still the ability to rule this in and have a vote on the package. >> some lawmakers have suggested f

your democratic colleague ro khanna who also sits on the foreign affairs committee, he criticized theseikes. he says there's absolutely no justification for the president to authorize a military strike that is not in self-defense. this is not unlike the protest we saw from democrats to military action by trump for not seeking congressional authorization first. do you agree with khanna that biden, president biden should have gotten authorization from congress for this? >> i'm expecting to get more information. we are the committee of jurisdiction as it pertains to the war powers resolution. so i'm expecting to get some more information in short order and then we can make a determination to where we go. but i'm waiting for more information. >> okay. >> we will follow up with you on that. as a matter of principle, though, should a president get authorization for military action from congress? >> i think that as a matter of precedent that the president -- any president should give information to all of the committees of jurisdiction. the foreign affairs committee being one. and that's why i

congressman ro khanna is defending the constitutional merits of the impeachment trial. he told us today what matters is the house charged president trump before the end of his term, the house took up the impeachment while president trump was still in office. and it was mitch mcconnell, who didn't allow for the trial. so. it would be one thing if we were to impeach after president trump had left, but this is the business that was conducted while he was in office. the standard is not a criminal prosecution under the first amendment. the standard is congn khanna says if mr trump is acquitted, it would run the risk of eroding the public's trust and confidence in government coming up here. a boat catches fire at the bethel island marina. what? we're learning from authorities as one person is still unaccounted for. also had tonight a group of local girls is among the first to achieve the boy scouts highest rank up next, we'll hear from one of them about earning eagle. what earning eagle means. fire started about 10 o'clock last night when firefighters arrived. the 30 ft cabin

congressman ro khanna is among those pushing for a delay in second doses of the vaccine so that morean initial shot. do you think that's a good idea? this is very interesting argument made by some outstanding people who are rethinking our approach. and they really created a very robust dialogue about this topic. the idea is that if you just give one does to people you can actually save more lives than if you give to dose to half the number of people two doses to hafner, the number of people that maybe that's what the modeling shows. my personal opinion is that i would much rather follow the data that we have in the data that we have is compelling that two doses give enormous protection to the individual into this. society and if we're guessing wrong, just give one dose and we don't get that kind of protection for the same duration. it won't be good. the number of daily cases and deaths is down substantially across the country. how much can we read into that? are we turning the corner? or is that too optimistic to say right now? well we've clearly turned the corner from a just a horri

and i think ro khanna is right in that sense. if you want to talk about the $1,400, we said back in december that we thought americans needed $2,000. the house and the senate made a down payment on that of $600. and we're going to do the other $1,400 that president biden said he wanted to see the american people have. >> okay. what about all of the discussion relative to whether or not donald trump should receive intelligence briefings that are typically afforded to former presidents. president biden had this to say on it. >> should former president trump still receive intelligence briefings? >> i think not. >> why not? >> because of his erratic behavior unrelated to the insurrection. i just think there's no need for him to have that intelligence briefing. what value is giving him an intelligence briefing? what impact does he have at all other than the fact he might slip and say something? >> the white house made clear that intelligence officials are going to be the ones to make the decision on that. do you agree with president b

we really appreciate your time good to hear from you. >> thank you >> congressman ro khanna of silicon valley delano, do you think that anything should actually be legislated into law at this point? >> that's a great question and i think what we're seeing is a lot of people angry and upset on both sides. i think the conversation needs to be had on how we can have better transparency and better literacy for investors, especially smaller investors you know, my firm, we serve smaller investors. and a lot of them have been trading -- a lot of them are newer to this. i know from my standpoint i started trading when i was 20. i'm 31 now there's a lot of things i learned along the way. that would have probably been better said if they were talked to me or someone had -- i know we talked earlier in the show if there was education in schools i think there should be some level of education that's put out there. as far as legislation i wouldn't go as far as to say how that's going to be put in place but i do think we need to have investors that are educated so we can understand the plumbing behin

democratic representative ro khanna is joining us now. what's your reaction, congressman, to this roll call, not official yet, but it looks like it's for all practical purposes over. >> i'm heartened by the overwhelming vote. brian fitzpatrick who represents where i grew up, bucks county, pennsylvania, republican, voted to remove her from the committee. so i'm really heartened by that. >> 11 republicans voting in favor of removing her. we'll see what the final number is. three representatives still not voting. there may be various reasons for that. we'll see it gavelled pretty soon. was that what you were expecting, that there would be all the democrats voting in favor and some republicans joining them? >> i did expect that all democrats would vote in favor. what i didn't expect was the overwhelming republican vote. i think what you saw is that republicans were holding out until the very end. and then they saw that this was going to be an overwhelming vote, and they needed to vote their conscience. what marjorie taylor greene did was outr

i mentioned the sanders, shiv and ro khanna letter to president biden.ing one year in we need to production and supply of n 95s using the defense production act. maybe have them at usps where people can pick them up for free. what do you think about that? >> i think that's great. that's what some european countries are doing. i understand the state of michigan is also distributing good mask respirators to people. so we need to do this more broadly. the -- the tight-fitting face masks don't necessarily have to just these disposable n 95s we're familiar with. there is tremendous capacity in this country to build and to make elastomeric masks masks mam last longer and are more comfortable. >> speaking of comfort, catherine i'm getting questions about the essential mask brace. basically people want to know how long can you wear it and have it still be comfortable? and also do you have a version fitting behind the ears? or tell me about the design. >> so with respect to how long you can wear it while still comfortable, a lot of the people who bought the essen

also on that point congressman ro khanna says the constitution gives democrats the power to la decide whether itny can pass through reconciliation. do not let anyone tell you that we did not have the power to pass $15 wage. steve, you make the minimum wage in north charleston, south carolina. what do you do for a living? >> caller: this question about n yes or no minimum wage, i don't know how thatway to got on ther anyway i completely agree with through reconciliation. i understandment o arguments on sideshe issue, greta.g inde if it's federally mandated it should be regional based on the regional cost of living index.pr rural wage earner in spending power of $15 in mississippi is a lot less -- a lot more than them spending power of $15 in los ths angeles. federal employees in the midwesi make a lot different than let' california. it reducea roofer incentive and employees in labor-intensive het jobs. a roofer in south florida, 95 degrees in the summer, walked up on the roof and tells his helpers i got to pay you $15 ane hour now and the guy is like you got to pay us more than that. i

more pressure, some of it led by indian american legislators like the congresswoman from seattle, ro khannathe congresswoman from california. given the gent -- there is a general sense that, given the pressures on the u.s.-china relationship, perhaps the degree of pressure by the biden administration on the indian government might be somewhat less. >> one of vice president harris's nieces, nina harris, has been using her twitter account to get involved and comment on indian politics. how has that been received? >> badly. >> why echo >> --why? >> she has no idea what she is talking about. it is easy to tweet things about these things and it hardly helps. i would have thought she would be more aware, and it puts her aunt in a somewhat weird position. >> dr. kapur, if you wrote a headline on the last 50 years of indian immigration to the night states, what would it be? >> i think the headline would be , the possibilities the u.s. has. i mean, indian agreement it -- indian immigrants have done well in many countries. but there degree of success in the u.s. is quite exceptional -- but their degr

california congressmember ro khanna condemned the attack, saying -- "there is absolutely no justification for a president to authorize a military strike that is not in self-defense against an imminent threat without congressional authorization. we need to extricate from the middle east, not escalate." president biden spoke with saudi arabia's king salman thursday as the u.s. prepares to release an intelligence report on the 2018 murder of "washington post" columnist and saudi dissident jamal khashoggi. a white house readout of the call says biden reaffirmed the u.s. commitment to joint defense against "iranian-aligned grpsou," as well as the effort to end the war on yemen and the importance of human rights, commending the recent release of prominent women's rights activist loujain al-hathloul. the readout, however, does not mention jamal khashoggi or crown prince mohamed bin salman, who is widely thought to be responsible for khashoggi's assassination. brazil's covid-19 death toll has passed a quarter of a million -- the second-highest toll in the world after the united states and about 1

silicon valley congressman ro khanna sent a letter to the cdc thursday urging officials to consider delaying the second shot for people in order to get first doses to his many is possible, a decision he came to after talking with a handful of doctors. they're saying that we may see another surge. come april or may because of all the variants, and the biggest thing we can do is get a shot in every american's arm. dr robert wachter, professor and chair of the department of medicine at ucsf, agrees with delaying the second shot, the fda says modest delays between doses up to six weeks apart is not expected to decrease protection against the virus. if you look at some of the models you probably saved more lives by getting more high risk people. their first doses and then come back and get everybody there. second doses, even if that causes you to be a week or two or three and maybe even a month or so late. walker says. evidence does show you were 80 to 90% protected after your first dose, but the second dose increases your protection to 95% there's no question that you need the two doses. the del

democratic congressman ro khanna of california is a member of the house armed services committee anda bill back in 2017 to end u.s. support for the saudi-led war in yemen. it's a big win for you and for progressive antiwar activists in this country. although joe biden says he's ending all american support for offensive operations. clearly a good thing. but how far does that go? the saudis will just say all their actions in yemen are defensive. >> it's a big win for the activists around the country that you have an american president saying we're going to end this war and not provide intelligence support for the saudis, not provide any support for the saudi bombing campaign. here's the important point, it's the congress and the united states that gets to decide what an offensive campaign is. so if the saudis come and say they're going to bomb some yemen village, we're going to say, no way. and this congress is going to make sure that the saudis don't get away with that. >> that's good to hear. tonight it's been reported that the biden administration is reserving trump's last-minute de

i want to bring in california democratic congressman ro khanna, you were furious last week, blaming hedgefor not allowing people to trade, saying it was unfair. what did you want done differently? >> we need to regulate the hedge funds. there are two things that could be done differently. one, we need more capital requirement before hedge funds can short. two, there was a rule in place from 1938 to 2007, called the uptick rule, it restricts short selling to prevent exactly this kind of situation. that was repealed as a giveaway to wall street. we need to reinstate the uptick rule. and three, we need better capital requirements on robinhood, they can't be promising in their terms of service that they trade and not have reserve requirements. these are common sense reforms for wall street that would get to many of the problems that your segment highlighted. >> the reason robinhood connecticut service their clients is they didn't have the money to do so. do they need to change their terms of service. people signed up for robinhood assuming they were getting a full service broker. when stress

this was something that also senator chris murphy and congressman ro khanna expressed sentiment. agree. are many pushing back or does that have bipartisan support? >> it has bipartisan support. i believe congress ceded way too much of our war-make powers in the constitution to the administration. we need to reclaim our war powers authority and i look forward with working on that issue. >> another issue you helped spearhead, an effort with three dozen of your house colleagues urging president biden to relinquish his sole authority to order the launch of the nuclear weapons. there's conservatives suggesting you're questioning his ability to execute on this. is that what it's about or trying to prevent someone like donald trump from making threats like he did against north korea? >> the issue is a systematic floor and it's unconstitutional. if you look at the constitution it says only congress has the power to declare war. there's no way the framers of the constitution would have given one person the sole authority to launch nuclear weapons that can kill hundreds of millions of peop
