Bernie Sanders Can’t Answer When Asked How Humans Find Meaning If His Socialist Dream Is Realized

Bernie Sanders wants to solve AI with socialism — but he doesn’t know how humans will find meaning in his socialist paradise.

The 83-year-old senior senator from Vermont recently took time off of his “Fighting Oligarchy” tour to appear on “The Joe Rogan Experience.”

During the almost two-hour episode, Rogan asked Sanders how humans will find meaning if artificial intelligence takes jobs and the government provides for everyone’s needs.

Andrew Yang was talking about this giant epidemic of automation in this country and the solution being universal basic income, but that’s not the solution for meaning,” Rogan said. “And how do we convince all of these people that they have to not just take this money from the government, but also take action to give themselves meaning in their lives?”

Sanders tried to reframe the question as “a revolution in human experience.”

“So throughout history, people have worked so hard just to stay alive, right?” Sanders said. “If you don’t need to do work, right, because we’re wealthy enough, how do you find meaning in your life?”

Sanders called it a “trillion-dollar question” and said dependence on AI is not the answer.

All I would say at this moment is the answer is not to fall in love with your AI creature out there,” Sanders said.

Rogan wasn’t satisfied.

“Yeah, don’t do that,” Rogan said. “But also, how do you find meaning? How do you — if all you’re doing is just getting a check, and you can just stay at home and stare at the TV, and the money keeps coming, and then you eat processed food all day, and it’s all subsidized, what is life?”

Sanders said the immediate solution is to take care of workers who lost jobs to AI.

I think you tell those workers, you’re going to have health care as a human right, you’re going to have education as a human right, you’re going to have a decent income as a human right, and we’re going to lower — substantially lower — the work week,” Sanders said. “What happens later, when even more work is eliminated, and what the purpose of human life becomes, that is a very profound question.”

What do you think happens?” Rogan asked.

“It’s hard to imagine,” Sanders said. “Then the answer will be that we are going to have to find different meaning in life. We have to find it in ourselves in ways that you don’t know and I don’t know, because we’re not there yet.”

Sanders said he doesn’t know how far out the problem is.

“But I think human beings are capable of replacing work with other emotionally satisfying things,” Sanders said. “Yeah, I think we can do it.”

Rogan said the problem would be providing meaning for millions of people.

“What do you do to all those people to give them some sort of a sense of meaning?” Rogan asked. “You’re essentially redefining life for them.”

I don’t have the answer to that question,” Sanders admitted again. “That’s the problem. I don’t think anybody does.”

Despite not having an answer, the senator still managed to bring the issue back to taxing the rich.

“The people who own that technology and the corporations who utilize that [AI] technology are becoming phenomenally richer,” Sanders said. “And that is the issue. Which gets back to things like tax reform, like making sure that in America, we do not have the massive levels of income and wealth inequality that we currently have.”

House Judiciary Opens Investigation Into Leftist Group’s Ties To Anti-ICE Riots

The House Judiciary Committee has launched an investigation into a far-left organization to see if it used federal funds to organize anti-ICE unrest in Los Angeles.

The committee announced its investigation into the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), a far-left organization. A Daily Wire investigation last year revealed that CHIRLA had received federal funding under the Biden-Harris administration as it worked to “dismantle the U.S. immigration enforcement system” and pushed for mass illegal alien amnesty.

The House Judiciary Committee explained that it is concerned “that CHIRLA may be using federal funds to support violent criminal activity that impedes the enforcement of federal immigration law.”

The federal funds awarded to the far-left organization under the Biden-Harris administration were earmarked for “citizenship instruction and naturalization services” and “innovations in citizenship education.”

The letter requests that CHIRLA produce “all documents and communications” pertaining to the federal funds it received and specific information detailing how those funds were spent.

The organization is also being asked to turn over communications and documents “referring or relating to protests against ICE, DHS, Customs and Border Protection, enforcement of immigration laws, or the Trump Administration’s immigration policies.” The House Judiciary Committee gave CHIRLA a deadline of July 8th to comply with its requests.

A spokesman for CHIRLA said that the organization has not been involved in coordinating protests in Los Angeles, instead stating that the group “organized a press event” to speak out against the ICE raids and had “been sending legal observers to immigration courts and detention centers.”

“We have not participated, coordinated, or been part of the protests being registered in Los Angeles other than the press conference and rally,” the CHIRLA representative said.

While the House Judiciary Committee works to ascertain the extent of the organization’s involvement in the protests and unrest in Los Angeles, other leftwing groups have directly fueled the protest efforts, The Daily Wire previously revealed.

Left-wing activists in Los Angeles raised money to purchase and distribute helmets, respirators, and other items to be used by those at the “front lines” of the unrest as they faced off against police officers.

A local branch of the Democratic Party even distributed the addresses of hotels that were housing ICE agents and organized protests at the businesses, demanding that they refuse to provide the federal law enforcement agents with rooms.
