Jon Wiener: From The Nation magazine, this is Start Making Sense. I’m Jon Wiener. Later in the show: we need to make the Democratic party a working–class party — and to do that, we need to promise something big, and keep it simple. That’s what Tom Gheoghegan says. We’ll speak with him later in the show. But first: Ro Khanna, member of Congress from the Silicon Valley, says “economic empowerment” should be the Democrat’s “defining cause.” He’ll explain – in a minute.
[BREAK]
Now it’s time to talk with Ro Khanna. He represents Silicon Valley in the House, where he’s a member of the Progressive Caucus. He’s a key strategist for the Democrats, writing recently for The New York Times op-ed page about the party’s future. Last time he was on this show was in 2022 when we talked about “making tech work for all of us.” Ro Khanna, welcome back.
Ro Khanna: Thank you, Jon. 2022 seems like a pleasant memory – compared to what’s going on today.
