congressman khanna, thanks for being here. >> thank you for having me on. >> we know that you've workeds and afghan allies in the recent weeks. we understand that there are at least 50 afghan families in the bay area in your district area, asking for help evacuating loved ones. so how is your office providing resource to those not only who have arrived, but for those who have been left behind? >> juju, i'm very proud of my team. we've helped numerous families get on the state department list. they were able to get to the airport. some faced beatings, some had to go multiple times before they could actually get on a flight. but we've had about 17 cases where families have been able to come. but in candor, there are still people who have written to us who are unaccounted for. we still have american citizens that we're trying to get out. there are still green card holders that are trying to get out. there are still s.i.v. applicants trying to get out. we are working to make sure that happens. we want to work with the state department to see what specifics we should tell these families. >>

which is exactly what congressman ro khanna said. i think there are dozens and dozens of colleagues who are going to vote no if needed. because we have to deliver the entirety of the president agenda. i think sometimes people think that we have some secret information, we have information that they don't have. i just want to show people, this is what we received today for what is going to be voting tomorrow. question mark, first votes, question mark, less votes question mark,. so we don't know exactly the sequence of what we are going to do tomorrow. what we do know is what the outcome will be, until senator sinema, and senator manchin are going to come up with what they

i caught up with progressive lawmaker ro khanna earlier today. this is what he said about the status of those negotiations. >> there's got to be an agreement by the holdout senators, by the hold out eight house members, and the agreement has to be simple, we're going to respect and get behind our president. i think it is actually really hurtful to the democratic party that you don't have people showing this president respect. he won the election. we ought to unify behind his agenda and start falling in line. the progressives have fallen in line. >> now, what's important about what he said there is he is willing to vote for the bipartisan infrastructure plan as long as there's an agreement in place, a framework. that doesn't necessarily mean that needs to be passed by the house and senate, that's what they're working on right now. that seems to be the path that would allow democrats the best pass to be successful. the question is can they pull it off. >> clearly a very critical moment. right now, ryan, i want you to stand by. we're going to get ba

. >> why should ro khanna count on kyrsten sinema voting for the overall domestic agenda when they don'tnow that she will or what she supports? if she's not saying what she supports, how can they go into this and make any kind of teal? . >> that's exactly what we're working on. legislating takes time. you are talking about a significant investment. we are working on both. she has made it clear she is willing to get something done. it's all why she is were spending all the hours working on this. i don't understand that argument. sit claiming we're not working on reconciliation -- >> do you have a number? if it's not $3.5 trillion, what's your number? >> i love you, but we're not going to negotiate on television here. >> but that's the problem. >> by the way, that's exactly what the members are working on. but, again, that's how we legislate. we're going back and forth. we're negotiating. and i hope today's we're going to get more guide answer, by the way, from every side. again, i bring you back to the simple fact what i'm confused about, why would anybody not vote when it comes to the fl

. >> congressman ro khanna, progressive in the house, brought up with reporters the idea that -- that something like two democratic senators and ten-or-so democratic house members are holding up the agenda of the whole republican party. i mean, do -- have you seen something like this -- excuse me, the democratic party -- have you seen something like this before? did you think you would see? >> you know, i worked in 1993 in the clinton white house where the clinton economic plan which led to the strongest job growth in -- in history passed by a single vote in the -- in the house and a tie-breaking vote by vice president gore in the senate. so it was right down to the nail-biting wire. but it did pass, and i think it produced really great returns for the american people with wages growing across the board. so, i kyou know, these things happen. but i think it's time that everyone cinches their belt and -- and gets this done and really the -- the time is so short. and as speaker pelosi said tonight, the vote is on for thursday so that's the -- that's the new deadline and hopefully we'll m

"the rachel maddow show" starts right now. good evening. >> good evening. i wish you a happy and restful weekend. do you have any big plans? >> a little. yes, some block party, some block party action, some hanging with the kiddos and with kate. >> block parties? >> yeah. it is block party season in new york city. >> wow. i forget -- >> this is the time of year, they put the little police horses on each side of the block and then you know what is the most amazing thing? you take cars away from any street and it just becomes a party. that's literally what a block party is. you get rid of cars and you have a party. that's why people go to paris. that's why they love it. you walk around, there's no cars. it is a party. >> this is -- i mean there's two things. the differences between us, everybody thinks that you and i are like doppelgangers and everything. first of all, you take cars away from a block and it means you are in my town. >> yes.

is right now >> yes, she gave that we are notorious thum down vote on the minimum wage, we have ro khannahouse caucus who said >> we've got one senator of the state from the state president biden, carried from the state where she is a colleague of 100% on the. board and holding up th agenda -- the senator refuses to give a number, so here's my question one is the democratic party gog to tell senators senator that it's time to t behind the president it's time to get in? line > that is true that is the equation the prlem is that senator, youan tell them what to do. chuck schumer is not their ss. >> wh i talk to both house democrats and the nate democrats, they are incredibly frustrated particularly with senator sinema they feel like they can work with, senator manchin we know that that number from 3.5 trillion is going to be something different. we heard speaker pelosi say that. but they aren't really sure what to do right now with senator kyrsten sinema i do think that among democrats across the country and certainly in arizona this is not going to go down very well if the president's agen

last month more than 100 members of congress led by democratic representatives ro khanna and katie porteripartisan letter demanding a briefing from the fda to clarify this time line. congressman porter joins me now. it's good to see you. three weeks ago, what have you heard? >> well, we did get a response back from the fda. it was very brief. essentially repeated what we already knew is that the fda is working on it, but we did schedule an in-person briefing when we were back in washington so congress can get more information. i think the biggest concern i have is just the confusion. we have people say the beginning of next year, people saying november. pfizer is going to submit the data in september. we missed a real opportunity to be in conversation with parents out back to school, which is really trust me as a parent i'm getting a lot of information back to school time would have been nice to have a better sense what are the steps in the process and what is the potential time line. >> right, because, you know, we care about the kids. you've got two teens and a 9-year-old. i've got two

. >> but local lawmakers are weighing in congressman ro khanna tweeting out this message today calling the drone strike, quote, an unbelievable tragedy. comma says more transparency and oversight is needed to ensure this does not happen again today the congressman met with afghan families who recently arrived here in the bay area. he along with other local lawmakers have been fighting for weeks to make sure these refugees have a place they can call home. kiahnna says the bay area, which has the largest afghan population in the nation is a natural fit for the refugees and he has more still needs to be done to save those in afghanistan who are still trying to get out. >> we need more charter flights. we need more poor nation cast on pakistan and more pressure on the taliban come and people in afghanistan is not because they want to be. they have to leave. >> you know, they have their own house. they have their own life jobs that everything but they they must leave because they want to live like they want to said they life. >> california is expected to receive more than 5,000 refugees fro

joining us now to discuss democratic congressman ro khanna whose california district is home to one of the largest afghan american populations in the u.s. he's also on the house armed services committee. thank you so much for joining us. i do want to get your reaction to this news that the taliban has named four former gitmo detainees, two senior leadership positions in the afghan government. these are individuals freed by president obama in exchange for bo bergdahl. >> i still believe we need it to withdraw because it was an ugly civil war. and there is a brilliant piece in "the new yorker" saying that women and children were being killed in rural afghanistan, many who wanted an end to the war. so the decision to end the war was right, but we should be clear-eyed about what the taliban is. >> it's a very powerful piece about why women in the countryside, 70% of the population of afghanistan in the countryside, why they turned against the u.s., turned against the afghan government. there are at least a hundred american citizens right now remaining stuck in afghanistan. they're trying t

joining me now is congressman ro khanna. thank you for being here. seems like she's competing with joe mansion to see who will be the most obstructionists. here he is talking about the frustrations of your caucus. >> what do you say that progressives are frustrated that they don't know where you are? >> i'm in the senate. right here. >> the progressives. there are progressives within the senate that are frustrated that they don't know where you are, either. >> i'm literally right here at the elevator. >> i don't know if that was supposed to be a joke congressman. kyrsten sinema was there from 2013 to 2019. you've been there since 2017. do people consider her at this point to be an honest negotiator or just doing that smirking comedian thing she thinks she knows she's doing and not acting in good faith? >> joy, congratulations on getting her on tape. i've never seen her do an interview. it's like an oricle. she never comes on television. >> can i just say -- i will have to not take credit for that personally because you're right. we've invited her to

i wrote a letter with 100 bipartisan members along with ro khanna asking the fda to be clear with theize and then deliver vaccinations to kids and we got a response last week. we had a briefing this week with the fda's vaccine chief and the good news is that the data is in the hands of the fda. they described the plan that they're going to use to analyze those data and make sure that these vaccines are both safe and effective for kids. what we heard is it's likely that if the data are as expected that the authorization, the emergency use authorization for kids will come as early as halloween. i know that's what my kids want which is a candy bar and a shot, but it may come a little bit later into thanksgiving, but we're going to get this done hopefully in the next few months. what i'm focusing on now is turning to the cdc to make sure they have a plan to actually deliver the vaccines. vaccines don't save lives, chris. vaccinations save lives. we have to actually get the shots into arms and that means the cdc needs to have a plan to do that. >> so is what you're saying right now with th
