Summary
For the past few weeks, conservative, corporatist Democrats in Congress have been chipping away at what Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders have teamed up to create -- a massive $3.5 trillion investment in the American people. The negotiations on this legislation are ongoing and Mike is joined by a member of Congress fighting to keep the bill as robust and helpful to the majority of Americans as possible, Rep. Ro Khanna of California. Mike and Rep. Khanna discuss what’s in the damn bill, what listeners need to do to help get it passed, what it’s failure might mean to the country, and how devastating it could be politically. They also discuss Rep. Khanna’s collaboration with Paris Hilton to end the abuse of young people at treatment facilities. Finally, Mike listens to your voicemails.

| 0:29.8 | Moore. Welcome everyone. Today's podcast we have a special guest, the |
| 0:34.5 | Congressman from Northern California, Congressman Roe Conner. He is one of the |
| 0:41.0 | leaders of the Progressive Caucus in the House of Representatives in Washington |
| 0:45.5 | DC, and he is working around the clock right now to preserve as much of the |
| 0:53.4 | Progressive Agenda that is in the Human Infrastructure Bill that is probably |
