Welcome to this episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. Today, Tom is joined by Congressman Ro Khanna for a deeply candid and wide-ranging conversation about the true state of the American Dream, the forces shaping today’s economy, and what it will actually take to create a future where all Americans can thrive.
Together, Tom and Ro dig into the causes and consequences of the government shutdown, the ever-expanding federal deficit, and the policies driving America’s growing wealth inequality. With raw honesty, they debate the value—and risks—of wealth taxes, deficit spending, and the proper role of government in healthcare, education, and housing.
Ro brings a unique perspective as a son of immigrants and representative of Silicon Valley, advocating for what he calls “economic patriotism” and laying out a detailed plan to reduce the national debt while investing in American families. Tom, meanwhile, challenges the idea that more spending guarantees better outcomes and presses Ro on the importance of results, personal freedom, and market-driven solutions.
This episode is more than a political debate—it’s an exploration of values, results, and what it means to believe in America’s promise. Stay tuned as Tom and Ro grapple with big questions about policy, prosperity, and the urgent need to pull the country back to the middle, finding common ground in a time of division.
If you’re ready for a thoughtful, no-holds-barred conversation on the future of America, you won’t want to miss this.
