The Democrat Socialists of America (the DSA) are suddenly thriving in American politics. Their positions are said to be transforming American government, abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement, terminating Congress, remaking the Constitution, abolishing police and prisons, and packing the Supreme Court. Why is socialism suddenly gaining support from younger college "educated" generations? Let's take a deep look into what socialism is, has been and might lead to in the United States.
Do the younger generations expect luxury without struggle? Is society conditioned to believe every person is a king or a queen even if they have an entry level job? Find out!

In this episode, we reflect on the broader impacts of Anthony Fauci’s guidance during the pandemic, particularly on the lives of families who faced loss and isolation. Attorney Jacobs highlights the ongoing repercussions, such as the lingering presence of masks in public spaces. We also explore the misconceptions about socialism, the realities of government planning, and the social and economic impacts of different political ideologies. The discussion aims to clarify common misunderstandings and examine the historical and practical implications of socialism and progressivism.
The conversation kicks off with a nod to Socrates, humorously reflecting on the implications of Fauci's writings. The diaries reveal a troubling narrative, echoing sentiments of desperation and a quest for approval:
"They love me, he doesn't love me, so I don't love him... I'll do whatever it takes to make them love me."The discussion doesn't shy away from the political implications, particularly the recent pardon issued by President Biden for Fauci. This leads us to ponder why such a pardon was necessary in the first place. Was it a response to political pressure or a reflection of the contradictory statements made during his tenure?

Welcome to Super Intelligence Politics with Jonathan Jacobs. AI is changing politics, business, jobs, national security and potentially the future of humanity. Weekend Politics explores what…
Artificial intelligence is increasingly at the center of that conversation. Who should control AI? Will it eliminate millions of jobs? Does America need to win the AI race against China? Should governments regulate artificial superintelligence? Are massive AI data centers worth their economic and environmental costs? And could AI eventually become more intelligent than the humans who created it?
Weekend Politics explores the promise, politics, power and potential dangers of artificial intelligence without assuming that AI is either humanity's salvation or its destruction.
Our show also tackles the major political, economic and cultural stories shaping the country, examining competing arguments rather than simply repeating the talking points of the left or right.
AI. Politics. Power. The future is being decided now.
New episodes of AI, Power & Politics with Jonathan Jacobs are Available each week.
