“Crazy like a Bernie”Over the weekend Senator Sanders launched his first campaign rally in Brooklyn New York – He was introduced by his wife Jane Sanders and a parade of sincere advocates who shared their stories. Then it was off to a packed warehouse in Chicago where Bernie again made his case for worker’s dignity and fundamental economic change. Today we are going to address two challenges you’re likely to hear against Bernie Sanders. First – He’s old. •His ideas are even older – they date back in America to the early 1900’s as an antidote to the great depression and a check on anarcho-capitalism.•He’s 77 years old, but we have video of him making the exact same arguments when he was only 45 years old. I’d rather have somebody who’s been saying the same thing for over 30 years than somebody who had different positions 30 months ago. •Hillary Clinton is 71 years old. Donald Trump is 72 years old. Joe Biden is 76 years old. •The purpose of age is it assumes the candidate represents younger generational interests. But Bernie has more millennial support than candidate in history. oIn the 2016 primaries Hillary got 766K voters under 30 years old, oTrump zoomed past her with 830K oBernie Sanders got over 2M votes by people under 30 years old. oBernie got more youth voters than Barack Obama did in his 2008 campaign, making him hands down the most supported candidate by Millennials in voting history.

“Boss Bernie”$10M in less than a week1M volunteersThe Young Turks’ Ana Kasparian runs a segment called “unfiltered” in which she tells it like it is.

“Maduro Madness”Venezuela Summary: •Public unrest and systematic dismantling of democracy have lead to massive protests against the current elected President Nicolas Maduro. His oppressive hold on power and suffering of the people have come to a head with opposition figure Juan Gaiado announcing that he is self-recognizing as a the President, which America and other nations swiftly acknowledged. •Is Venezuela socialist? Yes, kind of. Hugo Chavez made the oil companies which fuel the countries economy public and the nation has since had strong public programs. Maduro encountered runaway national problems and applied a strong-man anti-democratic approach with poor economic management. Most experts agree Venezuela’s biggest problem isn’t socialism, its political polarization and destabilization. •What makes this more complicated? Venezuela has oil. The country began the OPEC organization and is the western hemisphere’s Saudi Arabia. But they sell their oil to China, Russia, and other specific non-American interests. America and Venezuela have a long history of our country attempting to overthrow their country’s government because – oil. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/24/world/americas/noticias-venezuela-protests-maduro-guaido.htmlTrish Regan – Fox News BusinessRecap the problem: Florida Democratic party – lead by Rep Debbie Wasserman-Shultz – has made statements indicating they are dumbfounded that Bernie Sanders will not “denounce” current President of Venezeula Nicolas Maduro as a dictator. Rep Donna Shalala of Miami is the loudest voice saying “He is not going to be the nominee of the Democratic Party. He has demonstrated again that he does not understand this situation, I absolutely disagree with his imprecision in not saying Maduro must go.” https://www.politico.com/story/2019/02/21/bernie-sanders-venezuela-maduro-1179636•First, of the 10 declared democratic presidential candidates, 3 have used the word “dictator” to describe Maduro – Harris, Gillibrand and Warren. 70% of the field hasn’t used the word, in part because they believe Trump will incite a military action in the region in a desperate attempt to save his presidency. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/venezuela-juan-guaido-donald-trump-2020-democrats_us_5c520bd0e4b04f8645c745f4https://www.politico.com/story/2019/02/23/venezuela-maduro-democrats-2020-1182427•Second, Bernie stated his position at length https://twitter.com/sensanders/status/1088573769243914240?lang=en•Third, Venezeula is a real crisis – but Democrats should not play with republican ‘regime change’ fire.
