Dr. K. and Darren discuss the recent debate in Milwaukee -- yes, Debra Wasserman Schultz is still stacking the audience for her bestie Hillary. And.. when you run for president, you think you'd start with a message and then run on that -- unless you have to shift positions again and again depending on your big dollar donors and what you're told by your supporters (who are in the pocket of big dollar donors). Bernie Sanders has it much easier: as a true progressive, his message is guided by what America needs -- not how much it can spend. Also in this podcast: the shocking money fueling the Congressional Black Caucus Pac -- follow the money, especially when those big donors are in business AGAINST the interests of people of color. Shame, shame...

If you're not a progressive but you say you are, you may not be lying -- but you are being INTELLECTUALLY DISHONEST. Today, Dr. Kaufman lays out the facts: there is a definition of what a progressive is. Hillary Clinton has proved that she is NOT A PROGRESSIVE by doing things that progressives just don't do. Is Senator Bernie Sanders the "gatekeeper" of who's progressive? Dr. K. makes the case that well, you know... he ACTUALLY IS! Also today: people have asked for a QUICK list of some of Hillary Clinton's negatives -- and they get one!

Listen as Darren and Dr. K. spend several minutes weeping and gnashing their teeth at the devastating blow inflicted by Clinton campaign. They beseech the skies: "Why? Why?" Two broken men, they search in vain for glimmer of light in the inky darkness.
Dr. K. and Darren grab a quick interview with some women who were at the rally for Bernie Sanders at Daley Plaza in Chicago on January 23rd. Afterwards as Darren headed north on the Red Line train, he grabbed a great conversation with a few more Sanders fans. Topics included the way social media works its magic, hopes that Hillary's $2,700 per person lunches at least include some good food, and how MATH and the power of exponential growth could help the Bernie fire spread far and wide.

Darren and Dr. K. were at the Daley Center rally for Bernie Sanders and were warmed by Feeling The Bern along with a few thousand other supporters! (The brief audio clip from the rally is from the speech by Martese Chism of National Nurses United, which is the largest union & professional association of registered nurses in U.S. history.)
This week: Obama came into office on a wave of hope and change, but that was clearly set aside, almost certainly due to the same Wall Street influence that makes Hillary Clinton a weak candidate today. Bernie Sanders is poised to fulfill Obama's promises, even if the mainstream Democratic party's message is a resounding "No We Can't!"
The podcast ends with Darren's prediction that Iowa will be big day for Bernie. Fingers crossed and... GO BERNIE!!

Warning! Darren and Dr. K. mix entirely too much singing in with their usual detailed nuts and bolts about how Bernie Sanders plans to change America for the better. The music comes out of a discussion of the wonderfully hopeful song Bernie Sanders has chosen to inspire his supporters as the campaign moves into New Hampshire and Iowa -- contrasted with Hillary Clinton's new ad, which uses fear as a tactic. Because that worked so well for her in 2008. Also: Liberty and Medicare for all, more on Bernie's plan for revamping the nation's broken healthcare system. The end of corporate welfare -- it's payback time: time for corporations to pay their fare share and pay US back for all the easy money they gained through shockingly low taxes. Get so fired up you'll FEEL THE BERN!

Darren and Dr. K. have a conversation after the Democratic debate held on Sunday, January 18th when as few people as possible were watching, as DNC Chair and Hillary BFF Debbie Wasserman Schultz wants no actual information to get in the way of HRC's sure rise to her throne.
Interestingly, hours ago DWS and DNC added a "Forum" to the debate schedule. Now that Hillary is slipping in the polls, maybe having as few debates as humanly possible isn't such a good idea after all. It will be moderated by CNN anchor, Chris Cuomo, who's brother, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo said, "I wholeheartedly endorse Hillary Clinton’s campaign for President." We'll be watching... and feeling the burn for Bernie!

Iowa lot to Hillary! Bernie is now neck and neck with Hillary in the polls! That means she's gone on the offensive and her husband Bill Clinton and daughter Chelsea are helping her attack Sanders on guns and especially on healthcare. Thanks, Hillary! Her attacks have been a fundraising bonanza for Bernie. Also, Hillary's political evolution means she's against Obama's raids of immigrant families -- but not of deportations. And Hillary is not so hard on guns as she wants us to believe. Guess which current president and wannabe president invest with firms with substantial stock in gun manufacturers?

Bernie's blistering address to Wall Street made very clear that on Day One of a Sanders administration there would be real penalties for those who decide to play fast and loose with billions of dollars in taxpayer money. Also this week, Dr. K. describes how Obama and Hillary Clinton back child deportations that, in the words of one individual "we would expect from Donald Trump." Hear how Bernie makes 'em Feel The Bern! ALSO: It's Now or Never! Learn more about how you can be involved in the important push to move the Bernie Ball toward the goal line!
