Congressman Ro Khanna struggled to defend his shutdown position as Maria Bartiromo from Fox Business pressed him on contradictions in his arguments. Throughout the exchange, he repeated talking points about funding troops and extending Obamacare tax credits while avoiding direct questions about why Democrats blocked recent funding attempts. The discussion also highlighted his shifting explanations on health care, from defending the ACA to pushing Medicare for all, even as shutdown negotiations stalled.
Key moments:
• Khanna claims he’s ready to vote on paying troops and essential workers
• Maria challenges him on Democrats blocking similar efforts in recent weeks
• His defense of ACA subsidies collides with his broader Medicare for all push

Maria should have asked why Ro voted for obamacare without knowing what was in the bill?
Medicare for all ???
I worked my whole life to EARN Medicare
Thus is a very slick dangerous slick sob
Never expected that the democrats have that many unreal, unethical little educated representatives
What is someone not from this country even in US government trying to pass laws.
Khanna is lying
OMG….these people are so desperate to keep Healthcare and Housing for illigal immigrants. That's exactly what this will fund.
Typical democrat talking out the side of his mouth! You people are all the same!
RO IS WORRIED ABOUT HIS FLIGHT AND AFTER ALL HE IS A DEM.
He is just another leftist ass kisser, And liar.
Ask directly specific question about “Medicaid for all” does he mean including the “illegals”? Spending taxpayers money to “all” . Spending our taxes on the poor “illegal” non taxpayers.😡🥵🤑😎
Eating too much curry 🍛🖕🤣

MARIA, MARIA, MARIA, 2025 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RO KAHNNA IS A COOLIE JACKASS
If the Affordable Care Act is affordable, why does it need subsidies?
If we want the obamacare to help us then we must make sure that it's like we used to have it that a person can choose this sounds like Canada half of your paycheck goes to taxes to pay for your Obamacare that's what it sounds like that's what it is take more taxes out of our paychecks the democrats have have no common sense
To Khana is such a hack
Medicare for all who?
KHANNA / HARRIS… I WAS SORRY TO VOTED FOR YOU TO REPLACE BARBARA BOXER.. what a true FAKES and LIES… comes out from both of you …… ILLEGALS is ahead of AMERICAN ??????
Ro Khanna is just trying to spin the democrat’s actions do people think they are helping Americans. He thinks Americans are dumb.
They think if they mention Marjorie Taylor Greene that that’s gonna make it true??
Democrats are destroying our country!!!
Fleeting the system? Isn't obummercare putting 10's of billions into insurance companies pockets?
Where are all our little climate cupcakes? Aren't they happy flights are reduced.
No more duel citizenships. This guy is so CA. He trys to show hes moderate but hes a wolf in sheeps clothing.
The reality is, he’s a stupid ass just sitting in their line to the people right to your face. That’s the way they do it. Hope it sticks to the wall. When he says insurance for all he means illegal immigrants that’s why the Republicans wouldn’t agree with them.
He means Medicare for fraud.That's what he really wants fraud for everybody!
I’m always disappointed in interviewers, call him out with facts about health care. It drove doctors out of private business and tripled costs. It made insurance companies rich and paid Obama himself. Ask the real questions!
it did not slow the cost of health care,however its hard to argue with people with pre existing conditions getting coverage.khanna is a better version of word salad kamala
This guy is another phony full of baloney

The Democrats designed the ACA and voted the ACA into law and now they say it needs reform. If ANYONE is to blame it's the political party that wanted the ACA from the beginning. FACT
Osamabama care destroyed my healthcare lying fuck
A couple years back Ro talked like a centrist. Now he has shown his true colors. Just another shit stain. Nuff Said
NO WORK, NO PAY! Wake up people! You are being swindled!
I'm tired of the pharmaceutical industry controlling the doctors.
We may see a doctor but it the pharmaceutical industry that controls what the doctors do for you. We don't have doctors any more we have pharmaceutical companies pushing DRUGS…bad drugs with 35+ side effects that can kill you.
I want doctors who are free from the chains of pharmaceutical companies controlling our health.
Nobody cares about your " unpacking" …were smarter than you think
Please don't unpack anything…just play the damn video
There are no (serious) contradictions in the mind of Rep Ro Khanna (R-CA).
The issue on medicare is one: the quality of the explanations for Americans in unsatisfactory.
The 'medicare' is complimentary payments of the Federal governmnet in favor of Americans in the case of decreases of health or death.
The other name of 'medicare' is the Federal insurance of Americans.
If one opens the web site of the 'medicare', the casual 1st question, what benefits I am entitled for from the federal budget?
There is no answer on this question at the government web site dedicated to the 'medicare'.
If the individual is stubborn, in 2-3 hours he/she will find the 'approximate' answer.
It appears for the individual that the government expenditure is not connected with this individual, but with the chosen insurance company.
The individual is forced to visit the 3rd party web site, where the same American stubborn individual forced to search the exact answer during next 2-3 hours, 'how much and when the insurance company will pay in case I am temporary out due to illness'.
The state insurance is those money of the government which the administration is able to pay after all others mandatory payments are done.
To change the federal social insurance is a casual agreement between the law makers on the directions and the volume of the federal payments.
It is important issue for the recipients of the benefits, but it is a very secondary issue for the federal government.
It means, the different options shall be offered by few law makers. And the same options will chosen by the majority of the law makers.
Your channel is awesome, thanks
And define when Dems have EVER voted for anything but free money
Made the system better than it was? When?!
Before you knew anything? Because you Dems never provide any sort of clarity
Thank goodness Maria brings it!!!
