Weekends: The Biden Doctrine on Foreign Policy w/ Nicole Aschoff, the PRO Act, and Cult of the Elites

Every Saturday at 1 PM ET, Ana Kasparian and Nando Vila broadcast live from the Jacobin YouTube channel. Weekends features free-flowing and humorous commentary on current events and political strategy. This is the podcast version of the show from February 27, 2021.

Nicole Aschoff, an editor at Jacobin and the author of “The Smartphone Society” and “The New Prophets of Capital,” joins the show to discuss Biden's foreign policy and the recent airstrikes on Iranian-backed militias in Syria. We also get into what the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act is and why it's important for the labor movement and how the Andrew Cuomo COVID coverup is emblematic of the broader turn in global politics toward cults of elite figures.
