Cluster bombs and student debt purgatory
Welcome back for an exciting week of KK&F. We’ve had Representative Ro Khanna on the show before — way back in 2021! — to talk about party unity among Democrats, the fight for the budget bill that was up for consideration two years ago, and more. Now he’s returning for a second appearance on Krystal Kyle & Friends to share his insight on the political issues that progressives in Congress are confronted with — and to help us imagine what the way forward might be.
From the war in Ukraine to the Biden admin’s ever-dwindling follow-through on student debt relief promises, there’s a lot to cover with our guest this week. The Biden admin’s recent decision to send cluster munitions to Ukraine has drawn serious pushback in mainstream American news from those cognizant of the dangers these weapons pose to civilians, and their massive capacity to cause harm and destruction. What should American support of Ukraine look like? We look forward to digging into this complicated and urgent question with our guest, alongside a conversation about what the status of student debt relief is here in the U.S. After a Supreme Court decision last month took Biden’s debt relief plan off the table, Biden has promised action. But what will this action be, and can we really expect it from him?
You can hear this exciting and wide-ranging conversation on Friday when the video is released for paying subscribers via Substack. Everyone else can tune in Saturday through Spotify, Pandora, Apple Podcasts, and more.
