(The Blaze)—Glenn Beck hosted Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna of California on “The Glenn Beck Program” Thursday, where the two reached across the aisle to share some friendly disagreement, as well as some areas of common ground.
Khanna is one of few Democrats who refrains from acting as an ideologue and is willing to talk to those he will likely disagree with. Whether it’s DOGE cuts or nuclear energy, Khanna has no problem breaking from his party’s messaging.
“You’ve got a lot of followers, and look, at the end of the day, we’re all Team America,” Khanna told Beck. “We have differences of opinion, but this country has gone down a place of greater and greater division. And I do hope that the next generation, whether that’s JD Vance, Rubio, myself, others, that we find some way of turning that around.”
Khanna’s veneration for our country’s founding makes him stand out within his party. Rather than condemning the roots and the history of our nation like some of his fellow Democrats, Khanna says he was raised to appreciate and value America.
“Our common, defining moment as a nation is the Constitution and the Bill of Rights as interpreted through the Declaration of Independence,” Khanna said. “The biggest blessing I had, as a son of immigrants born in Philadelphia in our bicentenary, is I got to go to a school that taught American history and gave me a reverence for this country.”
