the joining us know is congressman ro khanna. i want to start with freshman congresswoman marjorie taylor green. she reportedly indicated support for executing prominent democrats prior to being elected so in one post she hit the like button on a quote that a bullet to the head would be quicker to remove house speaker nancy pelosi. in other posts she liked comments about executing fbi agents who she believed were part of the deep state working against trump and, congressman, she once called the parkland shooting a false flag operation and now we're learning today she has a new committee assignment and joining the education and labor committee and now we're hearing from axios that kevin mccarthy plans to have a conversation with her. congressman khanna, a conversation, what do you think needs to happen? >> it's shocking. it reminds me of the mark twain quote there's one distinct class and that's the united states congress. she actually has tweets talking about the assassination of president obama, of hillary clinton. she's threate

khanna: thank you, mr. speaker. thank you, mr. chairman, for your leadership. in history there are many generals who are celebrated for logistical fetes to win a war -- feats to win a war. rare is a general who is celebrated for logistical feats to end a war. general austin presided over the most significant withdrawal of troops and equipment, over 150,000 troops from iraq, successfully. he helped bring that conflict to an end. general austin helped us prevent getting into a catastrophic conflict in syria. now, i don't think the american people are concerned about process arguments about whether someone wore a uniform or didn't wear a uniform. what they want to know is the outcome. is the leader going to help start new wars or end wars? general austin, with secretary blinken and jake sullivan, is going to help end the war in yemen. they want to know is the leader going to turn a blind eye to white supremacy or are they going to stand up for equality? general austin will stand up for equality in our military. and most importantly, they want to know is a leader g

joining me now to further the conversation, california congressman ro khanna, democratic member of the house oversight and reform committee, and first vice chair of the congressional progressive caucus. congressman, welcome to you. i had your partner tim ryan on a bit earlier. we're going to talk about what you guys have been trying to do with those stimulus checks in just a moment. but a growing number of republican senators and representatives planning to object to congress's certifying of the electoral college results next week. what do you, sir, make of all of this? why do you think so many of your republican colleagues are willing to stand for the president like this? >> well, it's outrageous and it shows trump's shadow still hovers over the republican party. some of us thought after he lost by over 7 million votes that republicans would strike some independence, but this shows that they still fear trump's tweet. they still fear a republican primary challenge, and you have few senators, senator sasse and romney willing to speak up for the country. and they're saying this is a fire

. >>> joining us now is congresswoman ro khanna. he announced he supports efforts to remove president trump from office including impeachment or the 25th amendment. time is of the essence here. there's only 13 days left in the administration. there's also the question of pardons. we've been talking about this story before all this violence broke out. there had been talk about the president wanting to pardon himself, members of his family. is that playing into any of the considerations in moving quickly on this? >> katy, there are two reasons. first is national security. the fact that -- [inaudible] now we find out trump wasn't willing to do that. that's one reason we need vice president mike pence. the second is i think -- republicans are breaking with trump. they don't want to see mass pardons. vice president mike pence will be far more responsible than president trump. >> congressman, you made some real efforts to reach across the aisle, not just to sort of get to know members on the other side, but go to their districts. you've g

joining me is democratic congressman ro khanna and is the progressive caucus deputy whip. thanks for being with us. what do you make of this letter, these new actions? how necessary are they, do you believe? >> i think they are necessary. i personally, john, feel safe, but some of the very high-profile colleagues, particularly women of color, there are a lot of threats. and here's my view. the congress is just like any other workplace. we need to have some basic workplace standards. if you were to tweet out something that was abusive about colleagues or threatening colleagues, you probably wouldn't be there. if you said i'm a cnn anchor and don't have to go through the security, that wouldn't be acceptable. why should congress be any different? we should have the same workplace rules as any other workplace in america. >> the fence, the proposed fence from capitol police. they are suggesting that go around the capitol maybe as something permanent. how do you feel about that? >> i'm saddened by it. one of the things i love about the capitol is anyone could have come and seen

congressman ro khanna, representing california 17th congressional district congressman appreciate your time this afternoon. thank you. thank you for having me on an fbi investigation has begun into yesterday's violent rampage inside the halls of congress. crews work this morning to clean up the debris left behind. many of the mob members broke into the offices in the building and caused damage to furniture and windows. fences are being installed around the u. s. capitol as the congressman just mentioned one day after supporters of president trump's stormed the u. s institution crews began erecting fences around the west side of the capitol building. that's where many people broke into the congressional chambers as congress was in the process of certifying the results of the presidential election. the violence at the capitol led to some sudden resignations from white house staff, the first lady's chief of staff and former white house press secretary stephanie grisham stepped down just yesterday, she released a statement saying it has been quote an honor to serve the country in the white

congressman ro khanna actually mentioned this on cnn yesterday and really hit it in a very concise way what democrats hope to see happen. take a listen. >> they should look at what she's done. she's tweeted out about assassinating leaders, threats against president obama, threats against hillary clinton. she said she didn't do that while she was in congress. who does that? in what environment can you put that stuff out on social media and still have a job? and she's really crossed the line. i do not take it lightly to be calling for something like that but she's crossed the line in a way that is very disturbing. >> congresswoman greene is very much doubling down. she actually tweeted in a ten-part tweet thread today that she had a great with former president donald trump and she will continue to follow his lead, putting america first. so seems like she will not be changing her actions in any way way. however, she's going to be talking to minority leader kevin mccarthy next week. it's unclear what exactly is going to happen and what the result will be but, of course, you heard there fro

that said, just quickly here as i was talking to ro khanna a little bit earlier, i mentioned the fact that we have known for quite some time what hedge funds have been doing, what big banks have been doing and how they operate and the inequity in the banking business and wall street in general. that's been known for quite some time. people have won elections over it. why does it take something like this to get people to perk up? >> i think because it's really finally starting to affect -- it's really affecting the market. you know? this hedge fund had to basically get in a big infusion of capital to handle this. they think it's actually starting to really affect the people's bottom line. so, yes, we've had movements and a lot of people have talked about a lot of this stuff for a while, but it hasn't really, you know, dug into these people's bottom line so much. and i don't think it -- it's not, like, you know, this stunt is going to destroy the market or anything but i do think it showed the power of what's possible and you're already seeing these groups online sort of targeting their

this is ro khanna saying the minimum wage it should be even higher, andy. he says $15 an hour should be the floor. considering the increase in the rate of productivity since the last time minimum wage was changed, american workers are adding a value of $23 an hour. so, based on this discussion and what you see from your view, andy, what is the right number? what should the federal minimum wage be? >> by the way, the average wage in this country is well above $23 an hour. if they are talking about average productivity. i mentioned my grandson, he also produced $15 worth of value in our. he can only pay people how much value they produce for your business or your business will go under. we'll go out of business. we've already got businesses because of the pandemic failing right and left. the small businesses can't survive. you can't raise the wage beyond what they are able to pay. i don't think they should be a federal minimum wage, personally. you can probably raise it to $10 and nobody would notice because everybody makes more than that currently. at least

. >> congressman, thanks for joining us >> thank you >> representative ro khanna. kourtney, what do you make of this it sounds like they're intent on trying to change the system. >> they are. and regardless of kind of why that's come about, everything happens kind of in arrears it would have been great for someone to have dug in the fine print sooner but if this is brought to the forefront, the need for -- i won't call it additional regulation because that scares the market but different regulations in order to keep our markets safe for all participants i think everyone would be open to that. and i want us to really be clear from a statistical perspective, like let's not sit and pretend by allowing retail investors to participate that they're suddenly going to overthrow the market we cover institutional investors at my firm, and 80% of the assets, right? 80%. are held by institutions okay so there's not going to be overthrowing of the system and everything's going to go to you know what in a handbasket. let's be honest about what this means. if you can have people

we have far-left congressman ro khanna, he's calling, a, for an investigation of robinhood, but more importantly, he says you've got to have a stock transaction tax. in other words, a tax on every stock trade. [laughter] tammy -- >> yeah, sure. stuart: they're going to come out of this with something for the far left. there will be hell to pay, there will be some action taken. not in favor of it, but it's going to happen, tammy. >> well, you know, we see it already, there seems to be some kind of conflict of interest with janet yellen and her involvement with some of the players in this dynamic, speaking fees, etc. so if the republicans do their job, as any opposition party should, they should stand up against that and not accept it as inevitable. there's even some whispering about wanting to tax unrealized gains which is insane. but, you know, this is what the democrats do. they go too far, they ruin the economy. and so you're correct, they'll try to do things that will be bad, but the republicans have enough power with a split senate and in the house and for 2020 to put their foot

. >> congressman khanna, the market should cure this. nobody, conservatives, whoever feels slighted don't need to use twitter, don't need to use facebook then twitter and facebook have to suffer the consequences of losing business or whatever. what about it was something like a parler or maybe they wanted to go there and it almost looks like a concerted movement all at the same time to put that company out of business, maybe for good reason because of all of the stuff that was on there if you were watching from the outside, you would say some of this looks like it's not fair. >> look, parler was being supported by apple, google, amazon for years there was no problem with right wing speech. there's no problem with speech that maybe even be false i actually as you know defended the idea that hunter biden stories, as false as they were, they should have been published. i'm not for censoring speech based on something being false or true, but violence is different. you had parler sites talking about assassinating leaders, not just democrats,
