Summary
Shane Smith sits down with Senator Bernie Sanders for a conversation that cuts straight to the heart of America's biggest crisis artificial intelligence. Bernie warns that a handful of the world's wealthiest men are quietly engineering the most consequential revolution in human history, one that could wipe out millions of jobs overnight and leave ordinary Americans with nothing but unanswered questions. Driverless trucks, automated warehouses, AI lawyers and accountants the future is arriving fast, and Congress isn't even having the conversation. Bernie then unloads on the billionaire class fueling this transformation exposing how wealth and power have never been more dangerously concentrated, how money has corrupted American democracy from Citizens United to Elon Musk's $290 million in campaign spending, and why a federal wealth tax may be the last line of defense for working people. This is Bernie Sanders unfiltered and he's sounding the alarm. Subscribe to VICE News here: http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-VICE-News Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
