It seems like every time I talk about Democratic Socialism I get accused of using a strawman argument. I have stated (correctly by the way) many times that Democratic Socialism is nothing more than communism by another name. Each time I get a listener who points out Bernie Sanders claim that Denmark and Sweden are proof his ideas work.

Well, let me just put that idea to rest once and for all. What Democratic Socialists like Bernie advocate for is NOT Denmark style government. Quite the contrary. I'll explain on today's show.

**** Trump is skillfully threading the needle on oil, tariffs, and trade by treating our enemies and our allies. Will it end in disaster? I don't know. What I'm sure of is tactics run contrary to the principles we advocate for on this show and I'm going to call him on it.
