WELCOME BACK. THE LAST PERSON YOU EXPECT TO FIGHT FOR TECH JOBS IS A CONGRESSMAN REPRESENTING SILICON VALLEY BUT THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT OUR FRIEND FROM CALIFORNIA IS DOING. NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT IT, BUT ACTUALLY DOING IT, TRULY, POSITIVE AND PRACTICAL. HE IS HERE NOW. CONGRESSMAN, TELL US WHAT YOU BEEN WORKING ON.>>STEVE, WE ARE DOING A PROJECT WITH GOVERNOR REYNOLDS IN JEFFERSON IOWA, WE ARE GOING TO PROVIDE DOZENS OF SCHOLARSHIPS FOR KIDS TO GET ABOUT 18 MONTHS OF TECH TRAINING, IT’S A PARTNERSHIP WITH ACCENTURE, FACEBOOK, OTHER TECH COMPANIES AND AT THE END OF THIS TRAINING THEY WILL HAVE JOBS PAYING BETWEEN 60 AND $70000 AND THEY GET TO STAY IN THE COMMUNITY THEY LOVE IN JEFFERSON IOWA OR WESTERN RURAL IOWA.>>THAT’S SO IMPORTANT THAT POINT YOU JUST MADE BECAUSE EARLIER CHRIS WAS TALKING ABOUT THE WAY SO MUCH OF THE CONVERSATION IN THE LAST FEW DECADES ABOUT THE ECONOMY, CHANGING AND BECOMING TECHNOLOGY ECONOMY IF YOUR FACTORY CLOSES YOU HAVE TO GO WHERE THE JOBS ARE. YOU’RE SHOWING THAT’S NOT NECESSARY. DO YOU THINK THIS COULD GO BEYOND, IS THIS A DEMONSTRATION OF WHAT CAN BE DONE AND HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE THIS SPREAD TO OTHER PLACES?>>IT IS, I CALL IT A RIPPLE IN A POND. THERE’S NO REASON WE NEED 200,000 TECH JOBS OUTSOURCED TO PLACES LIKE CHINA OR BRAZIL. WE COULD BE DOING THAT IN THE HEARTLAND. THE REALITY IS EMMA MOST PEOPLE DON’T WANT TO MOVE. THEY LOVE THE COMMUNITY, THEIR CONCERN THEIR CHURCHES ARE DWINDLING, THEIR KIDS ARE HAVING TO LEAVE, WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS ALLOW THEM TO PRESERVE THEIR WAY OF LIFE AND BRING THESE JOBS HERE. THERE ARE COST ADVANTAGES TO HAVE THESE JOBS NOT JUST LOCATED IN THE BAY AREA AND THE TALENT IS EVERYWHERE. FOR THE DELIBERATE WE CAN MAKE THIS WORK.>>THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT HAS REALLY BEEN, YOU’VE DRIVEN IT, GOVERNOR REYNOLDS HAS BEEN INVOLVED, WHAT ARE SOME OF THE POLICY LEVERS OR POLICY CHANGES THAT YOU’D LOOK AT TO TRY TO INSTITUTIONALIZE THIS OR MAKE IT A PART OF THE ECONOMY MOVING FORWARD.>>A FEW THINGS. I THINK WE NEED HIGH-SPEED AFFORDABLE BROADBAND EVERYWHERE. WE CAN DO THAT FOR $40 BILLION, THAT CAN BE A BIPARTISAN INITIATIVE. SECOND WE ALSO HAVE TAX INCENTIVES TO HIRE WORKERS IN THESE COMMUNITIES. QUE QUÉBEC HAS A MODEL SIMILAR TO THAT WHERE THEY ACTUALLY PROVIDE TAX INCENTIVES TO HIRE FOLKS IN THE COMMUNITY. WHY DON’T WE HAVE THAT IN RURAL AMERICA. THIRD, WHEN WE MAKE SURE IF YOU HAVE A FEDERAL CONTRACT, AT LEAST 10% OF YOUR WORKFORCE IS COMING FROM THE RURAL COMMUNITIES OR FROM COMMUNITIES OF COLOR SO THAT EVEN IF 90% IS COMING FROM SILICON VALLEY WERE INCENTIVIZING COMPANIES NOT TO OFFSHORE BUT HIGHER PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY.>>THOSE ARE REALLY SENSIBLE AND PRACTICAL THINGS. I JUST THINK IF WE JUST HAD THAT PRAGMATIC APPROACH TO THESE THINGS, RATHER THAN, IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE LAST FEW DECADES HAVE BEEN VERY IDEOLOGICALLY DRIVEN. WE’VE GOT THIS LAISSEZ-FAIRE DOGMA THAT HAS DRIVEN POLICY. YOU SAY NO LET’S FOCUS ON THE WORKER AND DO THINGS THAT REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE. ARE YOU TALKING TO THE ADMINISTRATION ABOUT ANY OF THIS?>>I HAVE, ABOUT ACTUALLY TALK TO JARED KUSHNER, THESE ARE PRACTICAL IDEAS TO MAKE SURE THAT AMERICA WINS THE 21st CENTURY. WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT MORE PEOPLE HAVE ACCESS TO TECHNOLOGY IN A TECHNOLOGY REVOLUTION AND MORE PEOPLE HAVE JOBS WHETHER IT’S ADVANCED MANUFACTURING OR AGFA TECH OR SOFTWARE DESIGN. THE INTERESTING THING HERE IS THAT IT IS NOT IDEOLOGICAL. OBVIOUSLY YOU NEED THE PRIVATE SECTOR. I HEARD YOUR EARLIER SEGMENT, YOU’RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, YOU CAN’T JUST HAVE COLLEGES ARE HIGH SCHOOLS WHO HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT WHAT THE PRIVATE SECTOR NEEDS. YOU NEED TO HAVE PRACTICAL PARTNERSHIPS BUT YOU ALSO NEED GOVERNMENT WITH STRATEGIC INVESTMENT AND THAT’S WHAT BUILT AMERICA, GOVERNMENT INVESTMENT WITH COLLEGES, UNIVERSITIES IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR.>>I REALLY.
Let'em have them..TIME TO finally bring in THE BIG Boy's and Girl'sđ
I doubt it works. Most training programs he talks about offer very little value. Tax incentive is just corporate welfare for select companies. Much better to lower tax rate in general.
The Banksters wont like this
Hiiiii
It wonât happen, if companies had a brain headings it, there is no other country in the world with a capitalist market economy with greater potential to go up with its structuring
Yeah how bout y'all talk about something ACTUALLY worth talking about.. There are so many more meaningful topics.. This was stupid, and a waste of my time as an American.
To late Trump and his daughter are way ahead of you…next!
Where is the money that TRUMP STOLE FROM F.E.M.A. ?????
ANYTHING FOX ???????????
will you vote trump 2020 like if you will vote for TRUMP 2020
yes get them into google…we need more whistle blowers…
Ro Khanna one of the Justice Democrats the group who got AOC elected! Be triggered Conservatives đ
LOL he is a an Indian, he came to America on some H1b Visa to steal an American tech job.
It funny how suprised the moderator is listening to real progressive speaking common sense in stead of establishment rebublicans or democrats empty words
They donât have to ship the jobs overseas. They are bringing the foreign labor to the jobs. The H1B changes they passed have now loaded up 10 years of engineers and programmers. đ
His face color is poopđ©đ©đ©
Kim Reynolds is governor of Iowa, Mike Parson is governor of Missouri, where in the hell are they talking about?
Bad foreign tech is a problem. We are the people who planted Stars and Stripes on the moon, so our tech is unquestionably undermined by foreign workers.
More fake news from the Trump propaganda Network
He is full of baloney: we need a law which prohibits offshoring service work. Trade in services needs the same tariffs that trade in physical goods is currently receiving. I know, I speak from experience. Look at my youtube channel.
Why do we allow software jobs to move to India? That is the biggest outsourcing. Remember Boeing 737 Max ? It is the result of outsourcing, and it costs Boeing in the end. The fact is India outsourcing is cheap, but not productive. The management just looks at the compensation and feels happy. However, India workers cost US workers times to train them, and then they leave ( high turnover rate ). The management does not measure productivity especially when management has disproportionately high Indian decent.
Ya instead they are going to bring in millions from over seas here to take the jobs driving down wages due to the over flow of workers.
Democrats are snakes! They feed tech sector in America to censore you and spy on you!
This Rep is a complete idiot. Tech people should get paid between $150 and $200k
Corperations knew the china deal when they moved our jobs overseas now won't consumers to pay the tax TARIFFS for corperate welfare
A Republican is the sort of genius that would throw a hissy fit about robots flipping burgers instead of sending kids through a 2 year robotics program. Nothing will advance in the U.S. until these brain dead people are out of office.
Congressman dumbass
The majority of those jobs are already in China, need bring back here & not move from China to other asian countries, also should tax penalize big biss that takes monies to other countries for starting in USA, do good on USA tax payers & move jobs & monies other countries & no choices on shelf to buy Made In USA.
I must be delusional! Did I actually hear a real idea? Jobs for Americans? From a Demsaster? Oh it's a scam. One decent idea which won't be implimented among the hundreds of truly criminal, corrupt, insane thoughts. I dare him to get silicon valley and the Demsasters to vote for it. I double dog dare him.
Fox… please report on what is being done to fight these red flag laws and other infringements on the 2nd amendment…
To late Millions outsourced since 1999. 100,000 H1B Tech workers in Dallas alone. Americans have been made destitute due to Corporate Outsourcing and Insourcing. Corporate Managent are greedy scumbags
On the upside – if they do move overseas ( teq Jobs) would get rid of a bunch of self centered cry baby millennials- lol
70 grand a year for a tech job??..wtf…i need go into tech….lol..i make 40 killin myself on a roof all day…Sitting in the AC behind a desk sounds so comfortable…đ
He was doing great until he said "people of color". I am Black and I am sick of people focusing on my skin color. Just do the right thing for everyone, leave their skin color out of it. Typical Democrat!
I really like Ro Khana. He is one of the only people in Congress that tries to get anything done instead of just virtue signaling while doing nothing.
$4000.00 a month for a 600 sq.ft. studio in California, the technological area this man is talking about. This guy speaks from a political perch ! Totally unaffordable to live anywhere near Silicone Valley !
Well, in the Clinton days, one corporation was saying to another: -We won't do business with you unless you move your production to China. I think we ought to arrest and prosecute those traitors now.
Either the jobs go overseas…or if they stay in the US, the jobs are given to foreign labor via H1B visa…the great American displacement. What a great âsensibleâ idea! đ€Șđ€Șđ€Ș
1:25 Khanna said tech jobs going to China or Brazil! They have been going to India where his parents came from! Especially software programming jobs! China has the manufacturing jobs.
It's amazing to see all the commenters here who are more conservative completely betray their belief in capitalism and the free market. The trade war is a dumb policy that will oy hurt Americans.
Ro Khanna is smart guy.
Conservatives have Failed America.
Plans to "buy" tech jobs (using taxpayer's money, of course) will, at best, work temporarily. In the end, if the "owner/employers" can get the job done elsewhere (overseas) for less cost, that's where the jobs will be.
It is blatantly obvious to anyone who cares to look that we just don't need everyone working. Maybe back 100 years ago we did… but not now. What we do need are some "smarts" in our elected representatives who have the guts to acknowledge the reality of today and put in place plans to completely overhaul our capitalist/marketplace driven economic system.
Don't ask me HOW to do accomplish this. All I know is that to keep doing what we've always done and expect a different result is insane (and won't work). It won't be long before the "techies" have advanced AI to the point where very few jobs will require humans – the ROBOTS will be doing the bulk of it.
Something's gotta change… either by design and planning… or it will be forced on us. How about working on that, Ro Khanna?
sure, now put an end to the visa program which imports labor. american's with degrees can't find work because of this. trust me when i say, i see it literally daily.
The DOW is up 370 right now. If it were DOWN by 370 you can rest assured the Drudge fairy would have it as a headline to continue his "INEVITABLE RECESSION" narrative.
I'm beyond tired of the media cheering for a downturn.
This idea for these jobs in America will never work because these Elites can't make their money off that they get these cutbacks from the jobs going other places byb big companies and China going to other countries they won't make money from that anymore so they're not going to let that happen that's the Democratic Elitesđ±đ·
You want job security? Go into medicine or a building trade. If you can do your job from home on a computer, you will never have job security, regardless of which party is in power.
I finally like something that ro khana says…
Something about social media.
There's only one way. Split the USA in two: coast vs. heartland. Then the heartland would be a third world country and the wages would be low enough to support it.
trump wont get re elected in 2020….America wont make the same mistake twice.đșđž
Ro Khanna is good people's.
A true representative of the Left.
Not some Pretender! A true Progressive.
CONGRATULATIONS TO A GREAT AMERICAN SERVING AMERICA IN CONGRESS!!! âïžđđșđžâ€ïž
If tech jobs are moved to smaller communities heavy with talent, but do it in hundreds instead of a select few; can they prevent those communities from sky rocketing house costs after moving in?
Hey Foxtards, you keep spreading anti science BS like creationism, climate change denial, or vaccines causes autism, and you wonder why high tech industries goes elsewhere?
Hey, hey, whoa there bubba! If you're not careful, you'll get labelled a centrist!
Government sounds so good but really really sucks… 40 billion for broadband. 10 percent for rural or communities of color.. this is exactly what we don't need to do but he was elected so he has to do SOMETHING which really means anything as long as it gets press coverage…
We need to close the the door on on these guest workers Visa programs that put American workers out of the job market.
CCP needs DOLLARS
Hint: don't give them the DOLLARS
Hong Kong PROTESTS
Hint: pull the plug on China trade.
Q
Representative Ro Khanna: you seem to be honest. Would you please tell us why the democrats are running in George Soros plan? With open borders?
You know George Soros the man that protects the EU and has the foundation open society. He is for open borders and globalization. He said America is on the way of globalization. Everything that he wants are the Democratic plans but his last goal in his book is one global government.
Italian Favor Prime minister candidate got outsted this weekend by 2 other politicians in favorite of EU. Italians are upset because they wanted close borders and to rebuild Italy but the migrants are celebrating.
Trudeau just signed the UN immigration allowing Canada to receive unlimited migrants and apparently Some Canadians not so happy
Now UN is going after Mexico. Whatâs is going on? Would you explain?
This man (not Hilton, the other) just proposed giving government jobs based on quotas. He said 10% to people of color. I consider this nothing more than simple racism. Affirmative action is racism. If you want a society at war with itself, and formerly loyal viewers at war with Foxnews, then keep on having on guests and presenters like this guy. Good job Hilton, you're now a real American.
This alien clown just wanted to import more H1B frauds to take jobs away from US citizens, worse
Please President Trump go after the Federal reserve so we can get out of debt once and for all.
All the maga hats are made in China !
Let Chinese move into America and show Americans how rich with wealth full of resources in America lands…they have study since China became republics of China……
Another Justice Democrat Soros funded shill
Someone said the other day on Rush, they are going to Allow 6 million H1B visas to foreign workers. 6 million! for high paying jobs in America. How does that help our people here?
Cool
You ever contact customer service and they don't speak english? For American cutomers? They use voice recognition software and their computer populates the script they are to read back, they dont have actual grasp on the language and heaven help you if your solution isn't cookie cutter perfect and you again need actual customer service……..When I find a company with American Customer Service? We stay with that company with gratitude!
We Native Americans are sick of White people and mass immigration. After dealing with evil White people, we have to deal with a flood of people from India.
I used to be a staunch liberal, now a proud Republican. This congressman is so out of the proverbial Democrat box. Heâs pragmatic and makes sense. I would vote for him!!!
'And once they all work for google we will have complete control over their lives.'
Programmers of Color.
That all sounds good, but, why did Congressman Khanna have to throw in hiring "People of Color." It made the whole thing sound isolationist and reserved to me, and far from inclusive to those that are considered by the masses to be People of Non-Color. What am I? Invisible? Those People of Color, Congressman Khanna, are they Americans, or Indian immigrants on work visas that marry whom they are told to marry by their families, then brought over to the U.S. have a baby then never having to leave, once there work visa has expired? Then, being allowed to bring the rest of their klan. There is a huge difference between keeping Tech Jobs in America, under the guise of keeping Americans employed, and then bringing in Foreigners to fill those slots that were just kept open, Congressman Khanna.
by making Iowans more dependent on CA the more they can influence Iowans votes
stop talking ro and get your speaker to put some stuff up in a bill!!!!!!!!!!
wow that was unexpectedly… nice
The guy should cross the floor correctly and effectively.
Sorry but this is coming from a Democrat so I take no truth in what hes trying to peddle!!
It's so rare these days to hear a Democrat working on behalf of the American people.
Thats the only democrat i have heard with a good idea for years.
Tomi Lahren is expanding her business empire with a line of gun-ready athleisurewear…and guess what its made in CHINA!!
He lost me when he mentioned hiring based on quotas. Iâm completely all for not outsourcing and keeping the hiring within Americaâsince there are plenty of capable and willing workers hereâbut hiring based on who is part of a certain type of âcommunityâ…?? Businesses should be able to hire the best worker based on experience, etc. and who they believe will be best suited for the jobâtheir skin color or where they live shouldnât factor into a hiring decision.
Another commentor said that anyone can learn skills if they are doing them on a daily basis. Thatâs only true to a point. Programming, coding, and other tech jobs are not like manufacturing and the like, which he compared them to just because they are âjobs.â. You still have to have a certain type and combination of hard and soft skills to be successful in tech jobs. Not having those could diminish the success of the company.
From a citizen of the heartland: Thank you Steve!
Left and right wing populists need to temporarily work together to overthrow the centrist establishment!
I have heard this song and dance before, also from a democrat .stop allowing jobs leaving our shores so businesses can have a bigger bottom line. I have to say Steve this level of naivete in you surprises me. maybe it's your lack of knowledge of American history, or maybe you are just too easily seduced by the term bipartisan. democrats always trot out these Band-Aids for these economic wounds they intentionally inflict.
18 months training is long enough to learn so much in IT if the trainees have proper aptitudes.
At least a Democrat that wants jobs and no everything for free.
fuk fox
The elephant in the room is the scheming with US silicon wafer manufacturers. He'll sell out his constituents and you'll end up with higher taxes and the same problem with all of the tech manufacturers outsourcing where they get energy and labor benefits from tyrannical regimes. I don't trust Khanna because of his magical view of education, technology and manufacturing. He doesn't really understand why Intel, Apple and so forth go overseas.
OTOH, it is rooted in education problems. We create idiots. Spending more money without changing fundamental teaching doctrines in all of our academies will just contribute to a faster decline.
Democrats are taking our Republican ideas and calling them new. Ivanka is working on this for a long time.
Yeah, 8 years did nothing, now act like you care. Your Dem elite globalist buddies aren't gonna like it.
How bout we institute meaningful classes and training rather than 1 after another of these brainwashing useless SJW courses for students and hire them rather than using the VISA BS programs to bring in cheaper workers from other countries. Force companies to hire citizens and current legal immigrants first. If they threaten to close everything here and leave the country to open shop elsewhere, tariff the crap out of their products to the point they have to do the right thing and return work to the U.S.
Quotas are NEVER good, qualifications are.
When I was in school,in the 60's and 70's, there were tech school busses from school to the tech school. Half day in school then load up to finish the day at tech school. Bring that back.
THE ONLY THING INTERESTING HERE IS: THE FACT WE GLOBALY LIKE MESSING WITH PEOPLE IS THAT GLOBALY PEOPLE LOVE BEING MESSED WITH.
Obama did it
Trump 2020…..In the nut-house that is
Good job Indian American
This guy is good. Hard to argue in theory. Corruption is throughout the system. Put in a way to keep the gov and corperations in check and this is great.
See Trumptards? This is what REAL populism looks like.
This is true American progressive policy. Genius.
