The Welfare State is Tearing Sweden Apart

My guest today is the former president of the Swedish Chapter of the Mises Institute, Jon Nylander. We discuss the large welfare state in Sweden and the damage it's doing. There has been a large influx of immigrants into Swedish society in the last few years and rather than assisting various cultures with assimilation, the welfare state is pushing them further apart from each other. Markets bring people together and multiculturalism is much more harmonious but heavy government intervention and state sponsored welfare does the opposite.  Read Jon's article here: https://mises.org/wire/welfare-state-tearing-sweden-apart Find me here: www.facebook.com/deathtotyrantspodcast Follow me on Twitter @buckrebel

The Truth About Russia-gate

Despite several years of media lies, we now know that Putin and Trump didn't actually get together and collude to steal the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton. The Russia-gate mess showed us which media can't be trusted when we're searching for factual news. We also now know who can be trusted and my guest today is one of the good journalists. Why did the Russia/Trump investigation start? What did we actually learn from this investigation? Did Trump's views on foreign policy actually make him a target from the beginning? Will some dark figures operating in secrecy be found out now that a new investigation is being launched into the origins of Russia-gate? Daniel Lazare has been reporting on this from the beginning and he's here to break it all down for us.  Read his reporting at https://consortiumnews.com Find his blog and his books at https://daniellazare.com Find our site at www.facebook.com/deathtotyrantspodcast Follow me on Twitter @buckrebel
