Is Ukraine the One Issue Congress Can Agree On? (with Rep. Ro Khanna)
03/16/22 • 54 min
2 Listeners
Andy begins by talking about the rise in COVID cases around the world and what that could mean for us here in America. Then, listen in as Andy and Silicon Valley Congressman Ro Khanna have a wide-ranging conversation about the war in Ukraine, the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, and what it takes to build bridges both across the aisle and within one’s own party. Ro explains his views on how far the U.S. should go to defend Ukraine, what it means to be a "progressive capitalist," and how we can achieve dignity in a digital age.
