9-17-24 | Jill Stein Can't Condemn Putin | Devastating Polls for Trump | The Anti-Immigrant Anti-Christ Sep 17, 2024

I think it's important to state a few things on this episode: You can vote for whoever you want. I certainly support any Arab, Muslim, or Palestinian's decision to vote for whoever they want or not to vote at all.
My beef is with people who downplay the war crimes and imperialism of Vladimir Putin, Bashar al-Assad, and the bloodshed in Ukraine. Further, anyone who -- save them being victims of Netanyahu and Biden's war crimes in Gaza -- anyone who downplays the very real threat that MAGA poses to America.

1-11-24 | South Africa Takes Israel and Netanyahu Before the Hague Jan 11, 2024

In this episode of the Benjamin Dixon Show, we take a focused look at the high-profile case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) between South Africa and Israel. Our primary agenda today is to examine and review the compelling opening statements by South Africa's attorney, Tembeka Ngcukaitobi, in this landmark legal confrontation.

1-1-24 | Palestine History & Crisis | Trump Whistleblowers | Maher's COVID Claims | Tim Pool's Civil War Fixation Jan 01, 2024

Welcome to today's episode of The Benjamin Dixon Show, where we dissect and delve into pressing issues, offering insightful analysis and thought-provoking discussions.
Segment 1: The Palestinian Perspective – A Historical and Humanitarian Lens In this segment, we turn our focus to Palestine, particularly the Gaza Strip, following the events of October 7th. We reflect on the tragic toll this conflict has had, especially on children, and trace back the historical significance of the region, highlighting the early references to Bethlehem as 'Palestine' by Greek historian Herodotus in 450 BCE, and its mention during the time of Jesus by Josephus Flavius. This journey through history is crucial to understanding the deep-rooted complexities of this enduring conflict.
Segment 2: Voices Against Trump – The ABC News Exclusive Next, we dissect the recent ABC News interview featuring Cassidy Hutchinson and two other former White House aides, unraveling their stark warnings about the potential threats posed by former President Trump. This enlightening discussion underscores the importance of heeding lessons from history and the vital role of whistleblowers in safeguarding democracy.
Segment 3: Bill Maher's Controversial Take on COVID-19 We then pivot to Bill Maher's recent controversial clip, where he links COVID-19 infections to vaccinations and leans into anti-vax rhetoric. This segment is a critical examination of how public figures shape narratives about health and science, and the potential consequences of spreading misinformation.
Segment 4: Tim Pool’s Civil War Obsession Finally, we delve into Tim Pool's fixation with the idea of a second American civil war. By analyzing his statements and timelines using GROK, we uncover disturbing trends and take time to critically examine and challenge his viewpoints, offering our audience a balanced perspective.
Join us on The Benjamin Dixon Show as we navigate these complex topics with depth, clarity, and a touch of humor. Tune in, stay informed, and be part of the conversation.

Also in today's episode, I had a chance to show Dr. Carl Mack, Engineer and Historian, what I've been working on, and he was impressed.
I've included a clip of my demonstration to him of how my efforts took Ai from failing Black History to passing with an A!

The Case Against Benjamin Netanyahu Oct 17, 2023

Support the show by becoming a patron:

Benjamin Netanyahu is widely criticized for empowering Hamas militants by strategically dividing policies between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, coupled with his passive stance towards Hamas's military actions post-2014 and his facilitation of substantial financial inflows to Gaza. This has fueled the belief among many Israelis that Netanyahu has directly bolstered the Hamas militant faction.
In 2015, Netanyahu's controversial comments linking a Muslim leader to Hitler's genocide revealed a deeply entrenched suspicion, if not vilification, of Muslims. This mindset, which borders on dehumanization, provides a disturbing context to understand his decisions in the 2023 conflict, where excessive violence led to the tragic death of over 1,000 Palestinian children. Such rhetoric, underlining distrust and hostility, can dangerously rationalize aggressive actions in political leaders' minds.
Netanyahu's controversial Supreme Court reforms, which he attacks by calling the court "elitist and liberal," have led to tens of thousands of Israelis protesting for over 36 weeks. These citizens voice their dissent and concerns about an encroachment on democracy, with one poignant remark capturing the sentiment: "democracy dies in a series of small steps." This significant and enduring public outcry highlights Netanyahu's waning popularity and might suggest a motive for seeking distractions from these substantive issues.
Benjamin Netanyahu is embroiled in accusations involving bribery, fraud, and breach of trust with allegations that include receiving gifts worth $195,000, such as expensive cigars, champagne, and jewelry. As of June 2023, his trial, which began in May 2020, remains unresolved. In a striking parallel, Donald Trump is also currently facing his own fraud trial. For both leaders, these severe allegations present situations where they might seek external distractions to divert public scrutiny and overshadow their respective legal predicaments.
Opposition leaders in Israel have accused Benjamin Netanyahu of being complicit in the assassination of former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, suggesting his and others' opposition played a role in the incendiary political climate that led up to Rabin's murder. In the lead-up to Rabin's assassination, Netanyahu, then the opposition leader, attended right-wing rallies where Rabin was branded a "traitor" for signing the Oslo Accords, a peace agreement with the Palestinians. While Netanyahu has consistently denied direct involvement in inciting Rabin's murder, he has been vocal about his opposition to the Oslo Accords, expressing his belief that it was an error to make such a peace agreement with the Palestinians.
Jewish American activists, led by groups such as IfNotNow and Jewish Voice for Peace, staged significant demonstrations against the aggressive policies of Prime Minister Netanyahu's right-wing Israeli government towards Hamas. In a profound act of dissent, these demonstrators blocked multiple entrances to the White House, underscoring that not all Jewish people support or align with the actions and ideologies of Netanyahu's administration. The Government of Israel is not synonymous with all Jewish people.
Netanyahu is wildly unpopular in Israel

86% of polled Israeli Jews fault Israel’s government for the surprise attack from Gaza.
94% believe the government was responsible for the security breach that facilitated the Hamas infiltration.
56% of Israelis feel Netanyahu should resign post-conflict, but only 28% of coalition supporters concur.

8. An Egyptian intelligence official alleged that Israel, under the leadership of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, disregarded repeated warnings about a major operation by Hamas. While Netanyahu refuted these claims as "fake news," it's noteworthy to consider that Israeli intelligence agencies, such as Mossad, have been historically renowned for their extensive surveillance and information-gathering in areas like Gaza. Given this extensive intelligence infrastructure, it prompts the question: did Netanyahu intentionally overlook the intelligence, and if so, was it for strategic, political, or other reasons, especially when considering Mossad's reputed omnipresence in the region?

There's a doctor on Twitter with some eyebrow-raising advice: not reporting COVID-19 cases in schools. We'll dig into the ethics and health issues surrounding this recommendation.

Tina Descovich and the Florida Ethics Commission (Florida):

Tina Descovich's appointment to the Florida Ethics Commission is stirring up controversy. We're looking at concerns about impartiality and transparency when it comes to political contributions.

Major news from my city, Jacksonville, Florida.
21-year-old Ryan Palmeter targeted and killed three Black shoppers at Dollar General off Kings Road in Jacksonville Florida. This after he first stopped at a Historical Black College and University -- Edward Waters University.
According to Jacksonville Sheriff, T.K. Waters, the manifesto the shooter left indicate very clearly that it was a racially based shooting. But we take issue with the Sheriff's description of this incident as a lone-wolf incident.
I'm sure we will find that the manifesto mirrors the same ideology, beliefs, and even syntax of the the TOP's Grocery Store shooter in Buffalo, NY.
We're calling on TK Waters to release the manifesto.

Sorry I've been away the past two days.
I got caught up over the past two days doing some on the ground organizing and I'm excited about what is to come. I can fill you in as time goes along, but suffice it to say, we are growing a contingency of boots on the ground. More to come.
Sunday at 5PM EST, I will be doing an episode of Clickbaity Political Thirst Trap with Marcus Ferrell and Mayor Mondale Robinson. We've invited Professor Cornel West to join us. If the Dr. West can't make this short notice, we will broadcast again the following Sunday at 5PM EST so we can discuss this important campaign and how, strategically, we can have the best of both worlds: Stopping fascism and sending a message to the duopoly.
Finally, today's entire episode is public because I need as many people to hear the messages around religious extremism particularly from the perspective I have being a religious extremist of my own kind: a religious zealot for freedom and liberation of ALL humans.

I'm a little early with this week's episode because I'm getting ready to hit the road again. This time I'm following story developing in Gulfport, MS were police shot and killed 15 year-old Jaheim McMillan. More details in today's episode.
We travel from the local level to the national level and cover the ongoing coup happening in our nation. Michael Flynn and Tulsi Gabbard provide us with the best examples of how the theocratic coup happening in the United States is tied to the pan-reactionary movement that seeks to end progress and democracy globally.
We begin today's episode discussing the need for us to process the news on three levels of analysis as provided by international relations scholar Kenneth Waltz. To that end, we discuss the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

In this episode, we tackle the most recent political issues and delve into the oncoming civil war between the multiple factions inside the Republican Party that are each vying to overthrow democracy but for two distinct reasons:
1.) The January 6th coup is to serve Trump's Ego
2.) The ongoing, 50-year coup by theocratic fascists to overtake all the progress of the 20th century will continue whether Republicans pick Trump OR DeSantis.
I also chat a little about what I'm up to out in these streets!

8-17-21 | Reparations, Yemen, FOIA, Immigration - The Best of Episode Aug 17, 2021

We're off today and tomorrow to reset and rest. Thanks to our producer, David, for putting together today's "best of" episode.
Truth is, we have had so many amazing conversations we could run a month of best of.
On today's episode:
Georgia Fort leads the conversation on reparations.
Congressman Ro Khanna joins us to discuss the Civil War in Yemen.
Nina Turner joins us to discuss being Black and Progressive in a status quo America.
Ken Klippenstein of The Intercept joins us to discuss the chilling effect of the White House cracking down on investigative journalism.
Attorney Olay Olurin joins Rebecca Azor and me to discuss the challenges of immigration for Black people.
Marianne Williamson joins us to discuss love, power, and duality.
Professor Harvey Kaye joins us to discuss Josh Hawley's attack on 'big tech' despite big tech working to the benefit of conservatives.
Finally, DJ Xclusive, Rebecca, and I discuss how the British won the long game through the colonization effect of Peppa Pig! 😊

7-19-21 | From the Filibuster to the Algorithm: Black People's Fight Against Systems
Twice the content with NONE of the ads! Patreon.com/TheBpDShow
The Senate filibuster is, yet again, being used as an excuse to not protect voting rights in America -- specifically for Black and brown people who would vote Republicans out of power. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema are Democrats doing the bidding of Republicans on this matter.
In addition to the bigotry of the filibuster, we're also having to fight the technology of the algorithm which has penalized our show for debunking covid misinformation. The algorithm conveniently doesn't know the difference between debunking misinformation and spreading misinformation but it certainly knows to demonetize our videos when we discuss Black Lives Matter.
We discuss these stories and more with On the Clock with Georgia Fort and Like it Or Not with Rebecca Azor.
Good morning, and welcome to the Benjamin Dixon Show.

WEB DuBois spoke of the double-consciousness of being Black in America. Many of us discuss this from the perspective of "code-switching", but what happens when that code-switching maintains the exact system we are fighting against?
Georgia Fort goes On The Clock to discuss the Biden checks being sent out and the incessant presence of misinformation particularly as it pertains to COVID-19. Then we discuss how that misinformation is driven by the very algorithms that drive social media.
Anthony Galloway joins Georgia, James, and myself to discuss Joe Biden calling out "socialism."
Then, the team gets a little personal discussing how each of us has had to navigate our experiences in corporate America as Black people.
We've got another KAREN video. Perhaps one day we will see a Karen realize what is happening in real-time and instead of escalating like the Walmart Karen in our video, they will, instead, correct their behavior and let that positive moment go viral. We can hope, right?
Finally, Mama Gwen joins us (DJXXXClusive's mother) and she discusses raising Black kids in the south!

The day is Tuesday, July 14th, 2021. Why do conservatives and those who suffer from white grievances want to be oppressed so badly that they create the boogeyman of “Critical Race Theory?” It’s because they know it is the narrative of the most oppressed group in society that wins the day. And they know their days reigning through white supremacy are numbered.
Georgia Fort breaks down Joe Biden’s speech in Philadelphia covering voting rights. Dr. Carl Mack, and Bro. Anthony Galloway joined her to discuss whether the rhetoric was enough.
Professor Anthea Butler and Professor Carl Livingston join me to discuss Cornel West’s resignation letter to Harvard Divinity School.
Then we go through the news and see how it is that the stories of the day tie directly to the narrative of the oppressed that conservatives want so desperately to gentrify.

We begin this morning in Haiti where US-backed Haitian president Jouvenel Moise was assassinated in his home overnight according to a statement released by the Haitian prime minister.
Then we come to the United States: Minneapolis, Minnesota -- where Darnella Frazier -- the young woman who captured THE George Floyd video announced in a heartbreaking social media post that she, too, has now lost someone to police violence.
Jonathan Jay, DrPH JD, Assistant Professor at Boston University School of Public Health joins us to discuss the rise in gun violence -- not only in Black communities but in the American culture generally.
Olayemi Olurin joins us to discuss the race in Buffalo, New York where incumbent mayor, Byron Brown, has launched a write-in campaign against the young sister who beat him in the primaries fair-and-square. India Walton is the young, Black Democratic Socialist who defeated the apparent-sore-loser, Byron Brown.
We go to Tennessee to discuss the sorrowful courtroom scene in which the mother of Daniel Hambrick -- the Black man killed by Officer Andrew Delke as he ran away from the officer received only 3 years for the life of her son. Her sorrowful mourns filled the room.
They are well acquainted with our sorrows.
And, finally, Rebecca Azor leads the conversation on the assassination of Haitian president Jouvenel Moise and contextualizes it for clarity on what the PEOPLE of Haiti want versus the narratives the media will put out in light of the assassination.
*** Update: Correction from today's broadcast. The wife of the Haitian president did not die in the attack and that report has been retracted. We will correct it fully on tomorrow's broadcast. ***

My Black Child - By Benjamin Dixon Jun 21, 2021

Sometimes I look at my black child and want to apologize,
Because we birthed them into a society that can be so cruel and so uncivilized.
The very thought of my black child venturing into this world without me silently terrorizes
A lingering torment I’ve been forced to compartmentalize
Because you see their black child could very well have been my own
Empathy is when we grieve for their black child just like you would grieve for your own,
Sometimes I look at my black child and wanna level with them,
Because they were born into a system that will assassinate their character even after it has assassinated them,
Forcing our Black parents to defend their black child’s legacy before they’ve even had a chance to bury them.
All because they were born into a system that has mastered the art of dehumanizing them,
But I gotta compartmentalize that thought away
Because look at my black child,
When they go outside and play,
They dream, they dance and deduce with the magnificence of their blackness,
Only to have it gentrified and de-seasoned to be made palatable for the white masses
But look at my black child,
The descendant of a People this empire could never break.
A People so strong that their catalog of traumas is encoded in our DNA
A People who have survived everything this universe has ever thrown our way,
A People for whom overcoming is no longer sufficient, we shall lead the way,
They will call you lazy,
When they know you work harder.
They will call you ignorant
Because they fear you’re smarter.
They’ll call you ugly,
When you are the object of their desire,
They’ll call you uncivilized
When they’re the barbarians at the gate of their own empire.

Republicans Will Burn This Country To The Ground if We Don't Fight Back Like Hell.
Part 1 - Our Vote Doesn’t Matter to Them - We Can’t Capitulate (00:26)
“Do you see what’s happening? That’s exactly what’s happening. They’re willing to recognize the election when they win, but they completely disregard it as illegal if they lose. The Republicans have pushed us into a corner. I couldn’t really say this on Twitter today because it required context, lest I get a call from the Secret Service. But Malcolm X said, you either give us the ballot or the... “
“We need to let them know that we are not playing around, and if they steal our votes, then why do we have any responsibility to recognize America’s laws anymore, or this American political system?”
Part 2 - It’s Like an Abusive Relationship (22:37)
“It’s important for us to really understand the score. We are at a juncture in American history when Republicans have made the calculus that all they have to do is ignore every law, every norm, every institution, everything—if they ignore it then they can obtain and maintain power. They have absolutely no regard for the law, and yet they cry, ‘Law and Order!’”
“What they do is they gaslight you. It’s like being in an abusive relationship. If anybody in this audience has been in an abusive relationship, you will understand exactly what I’m getting ready to say... It is exactly like an abusive relationship. It is like being in a relationship where your significant other cheated on you and wants to make you feel guilty because you didn’t cook dinner right for them...They are going to gaslight you and make you second guess whether or not the media should have called this election or not.”
Part 3 You Wanna Disregard My Right to Vote? I’ll Disregard Your Right to Govern. (40:46)
“I’ve been saying the preamble to the constitution since I was in the second grade. When I got out of college, I bought the entire series on the US presidents. I bought into all that white supremacist interpretation of American history line hook and sinker, and I believed. You should not have indoctrinated me to the point where I actually believed that I was American. But now that I do believe that I’m American, I dare you to try to ignore my right to vote by saying its an illegal ballot because it’s inconvenient for the ego of Donald Trump.”
“You wanna disregard my right to vote? I’ll disregard your right to govern.”

Ep. 955 | Trump’s AG, William Barr, Most Dangerous Man In America | Assange Trial | Protecting The Election Sep 17, 2020

In one single speech, William Barr clearly enunciates why he is the most dangerous person to American Democracy. He views the Department of Justice as his own personal agency designed to carry out his orders versus carrying out justice. What’s more, he views “justice” as how he defines it versus equal justice before the law. Even worse, he, along with Trump’s Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows, attempts to pass off this perversion of Justice as “equal justice before the law.”
--
Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks, is facing extradition from the UK to the United States where he faces 175 years in prison for publishing information leaked by Chelsea Manning that revealed the depth of America’s war crimes in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Assange is facing 18 new counts including “hacking.” However, Assange engaged in no hacking and merely published this information in his journalistic capacity.
The sad irony is this: Wikileaks sought to gain favor from then-candidate Trump and now the Trump administration is pushing forward with this extradition.

Ep. 954 | Historic Settlement for Breonna Taylor Family | ICE Nurse Speaks Out | Trump Townhall Sep 16, 2020

Patreon.com/thebpdshow
---
In what is considered a historic settlement, the family of Breonna Taylor is to receive $12 million from the City of Louisville, Kentucky in the wrongful death of Breonna. The settlement includes multiple reforms that the city must undertake to reduce the chances of this happening to another family. Finally, this settlement does not preclude the possibility of charges against the murderers of Breonna. In fact, Breonna’s mother called for their arrest while at the press conference announcing the settlement.
--
For years, many on the Left have labeled ICE as a fascistic police force for the Federal Gov’t. Dawn Wooten speaks out about how this organization has performed forced hysterectomies. In another case from Texas, ICE deported a key witness in the sexual assault case against the agency.
Maybe it’s time for people to start listening to those of us who’ve been calling these thugs what they are for years: FASCISTS!
--
Donald Trump had a rough night last night on ABC’s Town Hall hosted by George Stephanopoulus. It was so bad, in fact, Laura Ingraham of Fox News called it an Ambush. In reality, it was merely the fact that Trump is genuinely a moron who has never had to deal with pushback from anyone.
--
Trump is such a disaster that for the first time in its 175 year history, Scientific American is endorsing a presidential candidate: Joe Biden.
--
We need to seriously consider what’s coming in November. We should fully expect right-wing violence, riots, and voter intimidation. This isn't to scare you. This is to ensure that you are prepared.

- Donald Trump just admitted on Fox News that is intentionally NOT providing funding for the PostOffice to block their ability to deliver and collect millions of mail-in ballots.
- While Democrats court Republican speakers like Ana Navarro and John Kasich, they've only given AOC 60 seconds to speak next week. This instantly backfired with one of the most AMAZING moments on twitter EVER.
-I'm going to admit upfront that this is not "precisely" what Mike Pence said. But, it's entirely necessary for us to return fire with fire when it comes to the rhetorical games they are playing. Pence does brag on how many jobs they created in 2020...but this is like bragging about winning $1 million dollars playing poker AFTER losing $2 million earlier that day.

Ep 888 | #WeveSeenEnough | White Protestors Get Black Treatment | Would You DARE Challenge The System Jun 05, 2020

Today is my birthday. More importantly, today is #BreonnaTaylor's birthday. She would have been 27-years-old today. But her life was cut short when police officers broke into her home executing a "no-knock" warrant and shot her eight times. The police were at the wrong house. She's dead because of them.
I'd like you to do me a favor on my birthday in honor of her birthday: would every single one of you share today's episode with someone who has never listened. This isn't to promote my show. We're growing just fine. This is because I think today's message is particularly important.
We need everyone to ask themselves, when have they seen enough? #WeveSeenEnough. At some point this week, everyone has seen at least one video of police violence that should have shaken their consciousnesses and made them consider for a moment that the problem in our country has been as Black people have said for many years: the police.
Maybe it was the video of the 75-year-old man who police officers violently pushed to the ground, cracking his head. And did they help? No, the kept walking over his bleeding skull.
Or maybe it was the video of the middle-aged, middle-income white woman in Seattle with her pink biker helmet on being tackled by at least six male police officers. You could see her struggling to cling to her dignity -- pushing herself off the ground. I could imagine her saying in her head, "They will not defeat me. They will not crush me." But in fact, the six men officers did crush her -- one even placed his knee on her neck much like they did #GeorgeFloyd.
Something you saw this week had to have shaken you to the core to make you pause and question your fundamental world view.
Do me a favor, share this video with someone who may be teetering on the edge of considering the possibility that it hasn't been Black people all this time; it has been the brutality of the police.
In this episode, I explain why they have been so brutal to the Black community for generations and why it is they are now extending that cruelty to white America.

🇺🇸 The Real American Heroes 🇺🇸
It is important that we do not allow the propaganda machine of the ruling elite to dictate to us who are the real Americans. They will always define "real Americans" as those people who do their bidding. But the real American heroes and heroines are the protestors in the streets laying their lives on the line to break this police state!
✊🏿Angry Black Men and Women ✊🏿
All our lives, Black people have been told NOT to be seen as "angry black men" or "angry black women." This is because the rulers of this nation understand that it is the righteous indignation and anger of the People that gives us the ability to change this system. And who has more of a right to their anger than Black people? Yes, we are angry. And our anger will change this nation for the betterment of all people.
☮️Peace or Progress ☮️
We do not want to sacrifice peace for progress. But we WILL NOT sacrifice progress for peace.

Ep. 885 | Capture the Flag | American Revolutionaries | Complicit With Fascism | Rejecting Greed Jun 02, 2020

I want to make the argument here as much as I made it in the episode:
How is it that people who still waved the flag of the Confederacy get to lay claim on being the "real" Americans. It's not that I have any regard for blind patriotism and nationalism that have been used as a tool of manipulation for generations in service of the ruling elite.
No. I'm thinking about how utterly indoctrinated every single American is. Whether we can admit it or not, we have an emotional connection to the "Red, White, and Blue." We've been propagandized with "Americana" since the first day our parents dressed us in our Fourth of July onesies.
And it is because of that, I feel we must "capture the flag." Conservatives and the Ruling Elite (of both parties) have decidedly labeled anything to Left of Michael Bloomberg as "foreign" and "seditious," when, in fact, the ruling elite have used the brute force of the police state and propaganda to maintain it's illegitimate hold on political and economic power in this country.
In other words, American democracy has been seized by a regime that understood that they could extract endless profits out of the American economy and keep the masses in check with the police state and propaganda.
And that is why conservatives can wave the treasonous Confederate flag and no one ever questions their patriotism.
The Left needs to capture the flag. Not out of any deference to the American propaganda that has been used to expand imperialism abroad and the police state domestically. But for two reasons:
1. If we are ever to reach the masses -- the millions of people who have, like you, been indoctrinated, then we need them to see that the Leftist revolutionaries in the streets right now are upholding the truest spirit of the Constitution -- OUR RIGHT TO REBEL AGAINST ANY GOVERNMENT THAT IS DESTRUCTIVE OF THE ENDS OF LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. The average American can clearly see that what Trump is doing is the LEAST democratic thing and the LEAST American.
2. The history of America has always been made better by the efforts of Leftists. So we have the historical validity necessary to show that we, not this ruling regime, are the real heirs of America. And, therefore, we have the right to shape this country into something that isn't a police state and something that is not imperialist.
Now go become a patron. 😀

The fight is not over. However, it was another hard night for progressives. Conservative Democrat Joe Biden wins big on Super Tuesday 2. What does this mean for the primaries? What does this mean for the progressive movement going forward?
--
Victory for Biden means a certain victory for Trump. No matter how many progressives get in line to support Biden if he ultimately wins the primaries, Biden is the perfect candidate to lose to Trump. Here's why.

Those of us fighting for justice will never be able to stop. Here's why.
--
What is our strategy moving ahead? I outline four things:
1. Don't give up on the primaries because the primaries are not over.
2. We have to maintain the small donor mechanism that Bernie's revolution created.
3. We have to be efficient with those donations and not just use it to enrich a few elite Leftists.
4. Find and groom the next leaders.

I'm not sure I've ever experienced a virus that was so precisely tuned to bring our consumer economy to its knees. Wall Street suspended trading today for 15 minutes because of the markets opening at a 7% decline. This is one of the worst days since the 2008 recession. And it's only getting worse due to all of the businesses having to adjust or close due to Coronavirus.

Episode 821 |
Mayor Pete has dropped out of the race just before Super Tuesday. This move is obviously to help the moderate vote solidify around Joe Biden. Regardless, having Pete out is a win because of what Pete stood for -- more precisely, because of what Pete stood against.
--
Democrats are putting their hopes in a man whose biggest selling point is "No We Can't." Joe Biden does not have the capacity to build the movement necessary to stop Donald Trump.
--
There are class divisions in the Black community. Not everyone voting for Biden or Bloomberg are "low info voters." Stop with that lazy, racist trope. Up your class analysis: bourgeois black people have solidarity with bourgeois white people.

I want to say something that will sound like an inspirational or motivational speech, but don't misunderstand me. You are so important. You contribute to everything we have through your labor, your consumption, the taxes you pay, and the sheer fact that you participate in this system.
There is not a billionaire who exists without the labor and consumption of the people. There is not a superstar who is famous without the adoration of millions of people. There is not a government that exists without the consent of millions of people.
It is the power of the people that make all of this work. That's why you're so important. Without your contribution, none of this exists.
And because of that, we must change our perspective from "the government doing us a favor" to "none of this works without us so here is what we demand from you for our continued participation."

The Democratic Party is considering a brokered convention. This is all the media is talking about at this point. As we stated yesterday, the reason they're talking about it now so much is because if they can make you desensitized to the idea, they win.
This is why we are organizing now!

Propaganda is an unbelievable dark art form. The most insidious type that we see through the media is the art of making you believe that you made a decision on your own when, in reality, you made one of the decisions they prepared for you.

Last night, we got to see for the first time the reality that the Gods of Capital are inept when compared to us mere mortals of the working class. Mike Bloomberg looked unprepared, unqualified, and mystified that he could not control the stage in the face of the onslaught from Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. It was glorious.
--
All of the candidates except Sanders said they would be okay with a brokered convention. Basically, they're willing to use the super delegate process to secure their own victory even if that means taking democracy away from the voters.

In a press conference, Bloomberg cracked under pressure from questions by journalists. When asked about his 2015 statement, he said that "It was five years ago and doesn't reflect how I governed." But no, it literally does reflect how you governed, Mr. Mayor.
--
Here is a list of all the elected officials who have endorsed Bloomberg. They need to either retract those endorsements or we will retract our support from them.
--
The real problem with Bloomberg is that, with his pocket change, he can purchase people and our democracy. What we are going through with him is the quintessential example of income and wealth inequality. At this point, he is buying up the staff that other candidates need, leaving nothing for them to use.
--

Michael Bloomberg is attempting to purchase our democracy. The Democratic establishment seems to be assisting him with this. But Bloomberg is not only an oligarch, he has a racist, classist, transphobic past that shows that he will not only serve the interests of his fellow oligarchs, but he will be a threat to minorities, poor people, and the LGBTQ community.
--
Walker Bragman (@WalkerBragman on Twitter) found an amazing clip of Mayor Pete from just a year ago where he makes the case for socialism and expanding the Overton window to include everything that Sanders stands for. What happened to this Pete!? Which Pete is the real one? Does it even matter?
--
USA Today has an article out saying that Moderate Dems must consider Bernie Sanders because he is the candidate that can beat Trump. Thing is, the people want to beat Trump -- but the establishment players would rather lose with Bloomberg than win with Sanders.
***** PATRONS ONLY SHOW PAST THIS POINT *****
Michael Bloomberg purchasing this election is a unique threat to democracy and we need to start calling out all of the people who have shown that they are for sale. What's more, the argument about the Supreme Court picks carries little weight because of Bloomberg's conservatism. At best we'd get someone like Justice Kennedy. At worst, we could end up with another Scalia based on Bloomberg's harsh brand of conservatism.
--
Mayor Pete had a horrible weekend. Amy K thrashed him in the debates. New Hampshire ripped his soul at with the #WallStreetPete chant, and Joe Biden sonned him with a new ad that makes him sound as inexperienced as he is. Poor Peter.
--
Finally, Sanders has the movement to beat Trump. Anyone saying otherwise is a goddamned liar.

Episode 806 | Sanders Claims Victory in Iowa | Media Propping Up Pete | Warren Team Defections
--
Finally, after three days of Pete claiming victory, Bernie Sanders has declared victory in Iowa based on the 6000 additional votes he got over Pete. But is it too late? New polling shows that Pete has closed the gap in New Hampshire to 1% which means New Hampshire is anyone's game.
--
The media has been complicit in propping up Pete. Particularly MSNBC. Listen to several clips where they completely engage in doublespeak to help Mayor Pete.
--
Several Black women have left the Warren campaign citing being "tokenized" by management and having their complaints ignored by HR. This does not bode well for Warren at all. Additionally, I feel like this marks the beginning of the end for Warren. However, I'll make the case in this episode that we need not slamdunk over this defection because of how pervasive the issue of tokenization is in ALL of politics from Conservatives to Communists. Not only that, we need to win as many of them over as possible.
--
Should Sanders team call for a recanvassing? The DNC already has. But my concern is whether we can trust the people who would be involved in the recanvassing. I'm not sure that we can. What do you think?
--
Finally, a young teenaged Black girl was assaulted by an NYC transit officer over a $2.50 turnstile fee that, as I have been informed, is free for school-aged children anyways. Let's talk about the racial dynamic, but also the class element of cities extracting another TAX from working people through these fees, citations, etc.

With 97% of the data in, Bernie has closed the gap in Iowa and, like many of us have insisted, is in a strong position to win. But, how can we not be disturbed by the sheer incompetence or corruption at play here? And how can we not speculate about the possibility of corruption when all of the errors to date have been to the benefit of one candidate: Mayor Pete.
--
I called it. Republicans are now filing Ethics Violations against Nancy Pelosi for tearing up Donald Trump's speech. The same Republicans who ignored all of the evidence of Donald Trump's high crimes and misdemeanors. This is an asymmetrical fight and I don't believe the current Democrats are equipped to win it.

Donald Trump has mastered the art of using a kind gesture towards a single individual as a tool to protect the system that placed the individual in need in the first place. For example, he uses a pardon for a Black woman as a means of protecting the criminal justice system that wrongly arrested her in the first place.

Last but not least, the asymmetrical fight that has been going on for decades has pushed us to the Right regardless of the administration in power. Last night, the Republicans being furious at Nancy Pelosi ripping up Trump's speech but showing that they'd never hold Trump accountable for anything is a perfect example of this asymmetrical fight.

Last night was a mess! But let's not blame the poll workers. Let's put the blame squarely where it belongs: Tom Perez, the DNC, and the Iowa State Democratic Party.
An app developed by Shadow, Inc (literally their name), crashed and caucus workers could not report their data.
Internal polling showed that Sanders won. Pete came in second, and Biden somewhere around fourth.
--
But while no one else claimed victory, sniveling weasel Pete had the unmitigated gall to get on the national stage and claim victory.
--
Joe Biden is done. As he should be. The people propping him up should be ashamed of themselves.
**(bonus show for Patrons)**
Dr. Jason Johnson argued on live television with Nina Turner that Michael Bloomberg is NOT an oligarch. And, he went so far as to compare Bernie's net worth of 2 million to Bloomberg's net worth of 60B. That's 30,000 times more wealth than Bernie.
I had a few words with Johnson via twitter.
--
Finally, the time is now. This fight is critical. And, I believe this is the first time in a generation where the average joes, janes, and jxes have the opportunity to take power. The time is now!

Alan Dershowitz got on the Senate floor last night and forwarded two extremely dangerous arguments:

Don Lemon and his guests are catching the ire of the President and everyone else who hates the "smug liberal elite" because they laughed at the stupidity of Donald Trump and his supporters. Well, laugh at them because we are living in the era of Idiocracy. Also, Donald Trump and his supporters treat America like sh*t so forgive me if I have no sympathy for their ignorance.
--
It's about time. Reporters are finally asking questions of politicians that will, at other times, get their access revoked. But in the era of Trump, access journalism with softball questions was not enough. Trump wanted media that would serve his propaganda needs. And so, in a twisted way, Trump has been good for actual journalism.

Finally, a new exclusive from Politico was dropped this morning about Trump surrogates handing out cash envelopes to Black communities in order to woo the Black vote. This has serious implications in terms of campaign finance, but also, it's going to be hella effective.

So one last time, Joe Biden and Hunter Biden are guilty of nepotism, but they are not guilty quid-pro-quo in the same fashion as Donald Trump.

--
Nikki Haley thinks Democrats are bad because, as she accuses them, they "mourn" the death of Iranian general Qasim Sulemani. Democrats have actually prevaricated as much as they could to make sure everyone knows they couldn't possibly say a good thing about a man our country just assassinated. But that's never enough for Republicans.

Mitch McConnell gave a heart-warming speech in the Senate chamber yesterday about unity. Mitch McConnell is by far the most devious political machiavellian whose machinations are on the scale of Senator Palpatine.

Episode 784 | Trump's War Lust | Evangelicals Give Trump's War Religious Cover | Twitter's Role In War Jan 06, 2020

Episode 784 |
Trump is taking us into war based on his ego and his ignorance. Evangelicals are giving him a religious covering. Congress will now receive their notifications about war via Twitter. Folks, we're living in the worst timeline imaginable.

Episode 783 | Trump Drones Kill Iranian General | War is Not Inevitable | Pandering to Extremism Jan 03, 2020

Episode 783 |
--
Donald Trump ordered a drone strike that killed a top Iranian general as he left the Baghdad airport en route to meet with Shia militias in Iraq. The attack has stoked fears of armed conflict with Iran. The question now is, how will Iran respond and what will be the United States' response to their retaliation?
--
War profiteers have been making billions of dollars off of non-stop war since 2001. We often mistake the faux-patriotism of "support our troops" and the "red, white and blue" with what it really is: a windfall-profit scheme that pours trillions into the hands of defense contractors trying to hit their quarterly profit targets.

Episode 782 | 5 Million Donors | Buttigieg's Astroturf Campaign | Climate Disaster | Biden's Reaganism Jan 02, 2020

Episode 782 |
--
Fundraising numbers are in and Bernie Sanders has broken records. Mayor Pete raised a lot of money with billionaires but wants to convince you that he has a grassroots campaign. Elizabeth Warren has fallen behind but still posts impressive numbers.
--
A video of Joe Biden taken out of context has gone viral and now everyone is apologizing for it. At least the Left is willing to correct itself. Unfortunately, this places us all at a major disadvantage when dealing with Right-wingers who have no regard for the truth.
--
Fires in Australia highlight the impending climate disasters. Meanwhile, a new UN report shows that we can buy ourselves 20 years with just $300 billion. That's just the net worth of Bezos, Gates, and Buffet combined -- so it's not really that much. But odds are, the world will end before we tax the rich sufficiently.
--
Finally, compare Joe Biden's track record on economic policy to that of Bernie Sanders. Biden was groomed in Ronald Reagan's trickle-down, neoliberal economic theory. Sanders has been calling out the resulting concentrated wealth that those theories create for at least 33 years.

Episode 781 | #ItsOkayToBeWhite? | Biden's Republican VP Pick | Neera Tanden and the Waning Influencers Dec 31, 2019

Episode 781 |
--
At least twice a year, a group of white, conservative, men and the white women who love them -- plus Candace Owens -- come together to celebrate their collective victimhood and oppression at the hands of Black and Brown, gay and trans, atheist and agnostics. Because as we all know, the most marginalized group in our country are white, Christian men who somehow have the most economic and political power of all other groups combined.
--
Joe Biden says that he'd be willing to pick a Republican as a VP/running mate. Need I say more?
--
Neera Tanden has been, for some time, one of the most influential Democratic operatives in the nation. Today she is trending on Twitter and I believe it's because she's absolutely terrified of losing that influence to a rag-tag group of progressives.

Andrew Yang's latest commercial claims he's supporting Medicare for All when his actual plans don't even support a public option. What's going on here?
--
An antisemitic attack in New York has led to accusations of anti-Semitism against Bernie Sanders. Let's unpack this weird contortion of logic.

Boots on the Ground. I'm thinking of discussing with my partners evolving Progressive Army into a team of volunteers who will be sent to assist organizers in their own city. What do you think?

Episode 779 | Bloomberg's Exploited Prison Labor | Farmers Devastated By Tariffs Stand By Trump Dec 27, 2019

Episode 779 |
--
The Intercept exposed billionaire presidential candidate, Michael Bloomberg, for using prison labor to make phone calls for his campaign. The use of prison labor for profit is nothing new. But the fact that a billionaire running for president has been caught exploiting that labor is amazingly apropos.
--
The Washington Post details a story of a struggling dairy farm family fighting to survive amid changes in demand for their product but very directly because of Donald Trump's trade war. But despite the direct impact of his policies, the barriers to getting assistance, and the concentration of the farm bailout going to the top 10%, these farmers are standing by their man.

Listen, Joe Biden is going to lose to Donald Trump. Anyone telling you otherwise is being grossly irresponsible with the future of our country and our planet.
--
In response to Christianity Today coming out against Donald Trump, the Christian Post (another magazine) has come out to defend Donald Trump. This has led to the resignation of their editor. Let's discuss this.

Episode 777 | Wine Cave Pete Fights Back | Stormzy: UK 100% Racist | 200:1 Ratio Evangelicals Back Trump Dec 23, 2019

Episode 777 |
--
Pete is pushing back against the wine cave issue. But Axios just released a story showing that Pete is doing exactly what everyone is concerned with: selling influence to rich donors.
--
UK artist, Stormzy, just called the UK 100% racist. Ironically, some of the same people pushing back against him called the Labour party racist. Centrists, no matter where you find them, know how to weaponize calling people racist but conveniently ignore it when it's their own.
--
200:1. 200 pastors signed a letter decrying Christianity Today which, so far, is the only major group of conservative evangelicals who dared to call out Donald Trump. 200:1 ratio.

Episode 775 | Donald Trump Impeached | Tulsi Votes "Present" | ACA Under Attack Again Dec 19, 2019

Episode 775
--
Donald Trump is now the third American president to be impeached. And while he stands no chance of being found guilty and removed from office, this was a necessary step to protect American democracy and will be an indelible stain on his legacy.
--
Tulsi Gabbard is the only congressperson to not take a stand one way or the other on the impeachment of Donald Trump. This didn't play out the way she had hoped.
--
The Affordable Care Act is a conservative idea that upholds everything Republicans ever wanted in a healthcare plan. And yet, they have stopped at nothing to destroy it. A new court ruling may give them what they seek.

Episode 774 | Justice Gorsuch on Fox | Dem Primary Polling | Trump's Unhinged Letter | The Black Vote Dec 18, 2019

Episode 774 |
--
New Democratic polling shows increases for Bernie Sanders. Sanders is the most popular Democrat in the field. So let's discuss why the political establishment hates the man who the people love so much.
--
Donald Trump sends Nancy Pelosi an unhinged letter that should terrify every American. Yet, we've become used to his democracy-destabilizing behavior.
--
Supreme Court justice Neil Gorsuch went on the most partisan network to do a promotional for his book. While on Fox News, Gorsuch took the time to discuss how stupid Americans are and the so-called War on Christmas.
--
Finally, the Black vote may not be here to save a party that makes them an afterthought.

Episode 773 | Insulin Prices Double | Workers Pay Higher Taxes Than Corporations | Voter Purges Dec 17, 2019

Episode 773 |
Insulin costs only $6 to produce, but the price of insulin is doubling yet again. Why on earth do we allow profit companies to extort the most vulnerable? This is the norm in America and we have to change our way of thinking.
--
New report shows that workers, not corporations, pay a higher percentage in taxes to the gov't. This is by design and, yet, another thing that we have to change the mindset of the people over.
--
Voter purges are spreading across the country again -- this time in Wisconsin and Georgia. I know this question has been asked a thousand times, but I must pose it again: if voting didn't matter, why has so much energy been invested into keeping you from voting?
--
After we vote in a progressive President, senators, and congresspeople, we have to fund progressive think tanks and media. That's the only way we can come from behind and push us towards the future.

Episode 772 | ACA Sticker Shock | Dem Establishment Pick Turns Republican | Cenk | Identity Politix Dec 16, 2019

Episode 772 |
I signed up for Obamacare this weekend and LORD these prices. **NOTE** Twice I mistakenly said "copays" when I meant "deductible." **
The real problem with Obamacare is that it didn't address the profit motive in the insurance industry.
--
New Jersey freshman Congressman Jeff Van Drew was the pick of the Democratic Establishment and the DCCC. The establishment jumped into the primaries to prop him up and suppressed a Black woman progressive. Well, Jeff Van Drew is converting to the Republican Party.
--
Bernie Sanders retracts his endorsement of Cenk from TYT. It's a big mess and it sucks. But part of me feels like they should have had foresight enough to know this was going to happen.
--
Looks like I need to address weaponized identity politics again.

Mike Huckabee trolls America with a tweet about heading up the 2024 campaign for Donald Trump. But all things considered, we can't take this as a joke.

Election day in the UK. This is the first salvo in the resurgence of the global Left.
--
Michelle Obama says she has the same values as GW Bush. Really?
--
We like to think America is a meritocracy. If that was the case, there is a list of people in the American limelight that we'd otherwise never have heard of.

Episode 769 | The Kids Love Bernie | Trump to Designate Judaism a Nationality | New Breed of Democrats Dec 11, 2019

Episode 769 |
-- Rise and Grind, Progressive Army!--
Have your episode with a cup of coffee and let's sit down and discuss.
--
A new Quinnipiac poll shows that 52% of Democrats under 35 support Bernie Sanders. The future is Progressive!
--
Donald Trump is slated to use an executive order to designate Judaism as a nationality. This is in efforts to crush the BDS movement. Of course, we don't expect "Free Speech Absolutists" on the Right to say anything about this because this is a part of their overall strategy.
--
Democrats are failing at every stop. Let me be more precise, the old vanguard of Democrats are failing at every stop. It's time for a new breed of Democrats.

Episode 768 | Horowitz IG Report | The Lie Is the Thing | Pelosi, WHAT? | Sanders and Evangelicals Dec 10, 2019

Episode 768 |
The Horowitz report and the subsequent competing interpretations is the perfect muse for us to understand why there may be no hope for America or humanity. LOL. Sorry to be so dramatic, but we are at the point where the people are demanding that our leaders and our media LIE to them. We're in trouble.
--
Nancy Pelosi is impeaching Donald Trump and simultaneously working out a trade deal with him. What is their problem?
--
Bernie Sanders is ready to cancel all student and medical debt. That would be what we consider in the church, "The Year of Jubilee" for most of America.
--
Listen, I'm fully aware of the fact that White, Evangelical Christianity is devoid of anything that could be remotely considered Christlike. But that there is not a single, organized resistance to Donald Trump and, quite to the contrary, a full embrace of him as some messiah figure blows my mind.

Episode 767 | AOC 1- Amazon 0 | Trump's Antisemitic Rant | White Youtuber Questions Kamala's Blackness Dec 09, 2019

Episode 767 |
--
AOC showed us that we don't have to engage in corporate America's race to the bottom. It's time these businesses start paying their fair share!
--
Donald Trump went on an antisemtic rant. Here's the gag: no one is going to say anything about it.
--
Youtuber, Jimmy Dore, decided he and his wife wanted to interrogate Kamala Harris' blackness. The caucacity.
--
Finally, everywhere we turn Black people have our intelligence and question and our agency challenged. Enough's enough.

Episode 766 | Pete's Deficit Problem | UPS Police Shootout | 43% of Republicans Basically Want a Dicatator Dec 06, 2019

Episode 766 |
--
Mayor Peter thinks the Democrats don't "worry enough" about the deficit. Nevermind the fact that every Democratic president has lowered the deficit after inheriting it from their Republican predecessors. Lawrence O'Donnell from MSNBC was not having it. Neither was I.
--
A police shooting yesterday in Miami claimed the lives of four people including a UPS driver who was a hostage and an innocent bystander. Enough is enough!
--
A new poll shows that 43% of Republicans think the President could be more efficient if he didn't have to wait on Congress or the Courts. Basically, a dictator.
--
A few voicemails for you!
--
Finally, a "last word" from Senator Sanders.
See you next week,

Episode 765 | Impeachment | Retirement to Pay Student Debt? | Cutting Food Stamps | GZ is Still Alive Dec 05, 2019

Episode 765 |
--
Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi has called for the chairman of the committee leading the impeachment proceedings to draft articles of impeachment. Trump responded. Are we living in two different realities where half of America can see the direct need for impeachment and the other half swears there is nothing there?
--
Rand Paul wants you to use your retirement to pay off student debt. Here's the gag: most Americans don't have a retirement. 66% of millennials don't have retirement.
--
The Trump administration has moved to cut SNAP benefits and school lunches which could lead to nearly 3.7 million people losing their benefits. All this to save $5.5 billion dollars over 5 years. This is basically a rounding error in the wealth of Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos. This is smaller than a rounding error for the Defense budget.
--
George Zimmerman is still living able to terrorize the family of his victim, Trayvon Martin. That he is free to sue the family of Martin for $100 million suggests very loudly to me that the moral arc of the universe does not necessarily lean towards justice: we have to fight like HELL for justice!

Episode 764 | The Tale of Two Prosecutors | Drop Out, Tulsi | A Letter To Young Black Progressives Dec 04, 2019

Episode 764 |
--
Two prosecutors in the race. Only one got labeled a cop. The other hasn't been touched by this narrative. Why this matters and what we should learn from this.
--
Tulsi Gabbard has 5 points in New Hampshire. Sanders is down by only 3. Time for Tulsi to drop out and endorse Senator Sanders.
--
A brief note to young, Black progressives. It's just my experience and I want to share it with you. What I will say can be applied to any identity that doesn't control the reigns of power. But I only have one identity that isn't in power: Black. I'm a man. I'm Christian. So that part of my life is easy. But there are some experiences I want to share with young, Black progressives that I feel they should know.
Listen in.

Episode 763 | Kamala is Out | The Middle-Class Squeeze | Medicare for All | Co-opting Malcolm X Dec 03, 2019

Episode 763 |
--
Kamala Harris' team just announced that she is out of the running as she no longer has the funds necessary to compete for the presidency. This is breaking news.
--
The Middle-Class Squeeze is a real thing, and people need to understand that even if you're making $250,000 a year, you have more in common with minimum wage earners than people living off capital gains.
--
The UK is facing the grim possibility of losing the NHS system to America's vulture healthcare industry. Let's discuss.
--
And white supremacist, Richard Spencer, shared a clip of Malcolm X. Here's why.

Episode 762 | The Problem with Pete's Plan | No. You're Not Rich | Social Conservatives Like Bernie? Dec 02, 2019

Episode 762 |
Mayor Pete is pushing hard against providing college for the rich kids of CEOs. This is a disingenuous argument that creates a means-tested program destined to collapse in the future. It is also an argument that leaves the families that make between $100,000 to $150,000 a year without free college.
--
The way Pete is able to make this argument is the same way Democrats and Republicans have been able to make this argument for years: people who think they're rich but really aren't are the ones who bare the brunt of these means-tested programs. This inevitably sows dissent and discord around the program. It eventually leads to more animus between the working class and people who think they're rich but they're really not.
--
Ross Douthat of the New York Times put out a piece championing a case for Bernie Sanders based on the idea that Sanders will not stoke the wedge issues of social liberalism (abortion, LGBTQ rights, Race issues, etc.) The problem is, Republicans will still label Bernie a social radical and, even if he is, would we want him to go mum on these issues to appeal to social conservatives?
Let's discuss.

Episode 761 | Republican Weaponized Projection | Interview w/@MalaikaJabali on Obama Intervention Nov 27, 2019

Episode 761 |
Republicans are masters of projecting onto "the Left" the very things they are doing. But since the election of Donald Trump, we've seen an escalation in this tactic to the level that we can best describe as "weaponized projection." Let's discuss this tactic and its implications.
--
Welcome to the show Malaika Jabali. She currently writes for The Guardian and has bylines in Essence, Current Affairs, and The Intercept. We discuss Barack Obama's alleged plan to intervene if Bernie Sanders gets too far ahead. We also discussed the Black vote and its importance to the 2020 election.

Episode 760 | Obama v Bernie | Bloomberg Doesn't Want a Salary | Corporate Media Complicity Nov 26, 2019

Episode 760 |
Politico is reporting that former President Barack Obama has made it clear that if Bernie Sanders runs away with the primaries, he would consider intervening to stop him from securing the win. We covered this possibility last week as another outlet discussed this possibility. But let's discuss this from the perspective of how incompetent the establishment is in terms of fighting off fascism.
--
Mayor Bloomberg says he won't take donations or a salary. But this is far from impressive for two reasons: 1. salaries for politicians is a progressive concept that allows for non-rich politicians to serve; 2. The presidential salary of $400,000/year is NOTHING compared to the $3.1B that he'd pay if Warren or Sanders wins.
--
Finally, billionaires own our media. How can we ever expect corporate media to do the difficult stories of reporting on their bosses?

Episode 759 | Bloomberg Vs Wealth Tax | Economists: Canceling Loans Booms Economy | Danger of Trump Nov 25, 2019

Episode 759 |
Michael Bloomberg has committed to spending between $500 million and $1 Billion to run for president. If you're wondering why he wouldn't spend this on progressive causes, realize that this is 100% about stopping Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders from instituting their various wealth taxes. Under Elizabeth Warren alone, Bloomberg will have to fork over $3.1 billion next year alone. So investing $500 million is nothing compared to what he can save if he stops Warren.
--
Economists now say that canceling student loan debt will be a stimulus for the economy. But this was never rocket science. If you put more disposable income into the hands of consumers, the economy will inevitably grow.
--
Finally, Trump has signaled to the military that he will pardon them and back them no matter what they do so long as they are loyal to him. Yesterday, the President fired the Secretary of the Navy, Richard Spencer, in support of a disgraced Navy Seals member who was found guilty of posing with the corpse of a teenage member of ISIS. This is terribly disturbing and dangerous. Let's discuss why.

Episode 758 | Biden to Protester: Vote Trump | Trump Admits Obstruction | Contrarians Bolster Gabbard Nov 22, 2019

Episode 758 |
Biden is not ready for the mainstage. He doesn't respond well under pressure. Listen to this clip of him telling a protestor that they should vote for Trump. That's right... Donald Trump.
Donald Trump calls into Fox and Friends and basically admits to obstruction of justice. If only Republicans weren't on the wrong side of history.
The contrarian left is bolstering Tulsi and this may come at the expense of Bernie Sanders.
Finally, socialism is spreading. The fear of socialism is waning. And people are coming to their senses to understand that we have the ability to create any society we so choose.

Episode 757 | Dem Debates | Impeachment Proceedings | Don't Try it, President Obama Nov 21, 2019

Episode 757 |
Let's breakdown the high points of the debate from last night. Also, the impeachment proceedings just got VERY interesting. And finally, Barack Obama is getting ready to wade into the primaries. This will backfire tremendously.

Episode 756 | Amazon Pays No Taxes | Chicken Culture War | Mayo Pete and the Tea Party Nov 19, 2019

Episode 756 |
Amazon made $11.2 Billion in profits in 2018 and will be paying $0 in taxes. I PAY MORE IN TAXES THAN AMAZON. You likely do as well. Let's discuss how they are extracting this obscene amount of wealth from our society but not contributing anything to its maintenance or development.
Chick Fil-a is promising -- again -- to stop being bigots. Popeye's got em shook. But if they would just stop being homophobes, I'd much rather eat their chicken.
Dave Rubin -- the resident token Gay of the Republican Party -- has decided that since Chick-Fil-A will no longer be homophobic that he will now boycott the chain. Seriously.
Finally, why is it that we just can't help but laugh at flatulence?

Episode 755
Neal Carter of Nu View Consulting joined me to cover all of the day's news including Colin Kaepernick's workout for the NFL that went sideways.
I start the show off with a discussion on Medicare for All and the new Gallup poll that states that 34 million Americans have lost a family member because of the lack of medical coverage. MedicareForAll is a TANGIBLE!
Neal and I discussed Kanye West and his problematic pulpit profiteering.
Finally, we jumped into a conversation about Joe Biden's fear of the WEED.

Episode 754 | Dave Rubin Takes Tokenism to New Low | Deval Patrick & Humility | GOP's Nazi Problem Nov 15, 2019

Episode 754
Deval Patrick has already messed up. He thinks we need to be more humble when it comes to Medicare for All.
The impeachment proceedings aren't exciting enough for America? Well, that's part of the reason we got Trump in the first place.
Dave Rubin has always been a bootlicker, but now he's given Donald Trump, Jr. permission to call him the F-word.
Check out this 11-year-old who sounds more like a 60-year-old steelworker when it comes to fried chicken. ROFL
And finally, Conservatives have been dog-whistling to racists and nazis for a long time. Now the Nazis are taking over.

Episode 753 | Deval Patrick Enters Chat | Dems Need to Move Right??? | Contradiction of Capitalism Nov 14, 2019

Episode 753
Former Massachusetts governor, Deval Patrick, has entered the presidential race. After serving as governor, Patrick went to work for Bain Capital -- yes, that Bain Capital. I like Patrick on a personal level -- but politically speaking, Patrick represents the last generation of Democrats who bought into the notion that whatever was good for business was good for America. Not only is this untrue, but this thinking is exactly what this generation (not based on age, but based on everyone of any age who are adopting this new move to the left) -- this is exactly what we're fighting against.
--
Some suggest Democrats need to move further to the Right on cultural issues as a strategy to beat Republicans. How, Sway? HOW? This is what Democrats have been doing for nearly 40 years and it also is why Republicans have had to become even more rabidly intransigent and bigoted.
--
A high school in Minnesota was caught on camera throwing away hot meals of students who owed more than $15 in lunch debt. This is another thing that capitalism has wrought. When we could have a society that feeds all of our children for free, we've decided to NOT tax the rich so little that they won't even have to give up their yachts, all so that they never have to contribute to the society from which they've taken so much.

Episode 752 | Hipster Coffee Shop with @Mediastudied | Impeachment, Jewish White Supremacists, and Rebellion Nov 13, 2019

Episode 752 |
I had a chance to sit with my good friend, @Mediastudied, at a coffee shop to discuss politics and some religion. We covered the politics and possibilities of Trump's impeachment, how Stephen Miller could be both Jewish and a White Nationalist, Ben Shapiro's evolution, and rebellion against our parents.
See you tomorrow!

Episode 751 | Polling Data | Trump Putting Millions Into Black Vote | Medicare For All is a #Tangible Nov 12, 2019

Episode 751 |
Polling data shows that Bernie Sanders is in third place in the first four primaries/caucuses. Biden has a commanding lead still despite clearly being the worst pick imaginable.
Democrats have a problem. They cannot win without the Black vote OVERPERFORMING. Yet, Black voters have not been motivated to overperform since Obama. So the problem is, White voters are extremely divided and a majority still support Donald Trump. So Dems should be pouring everything into getting the Black vote and by everything I mean policy specific solutions as well as funds into organizers and media.
Finally, there are several movements trying to convince Black voters that programs like Medicare-for-All aren't a #Tangible benefit for African Americans. Well, when Black people die at a disproportionately higher rate from treatable and preventable diseases, something tells me Medicare-For-All will be one of the biggest tangibles we can imagine --- LIVING instead of DYING!

Episode 750 | All Out Battle For the Black Vote | Bolivia and the Right-Wing Global Movement Nov 11, 2019

Episode 750 |
Donald Trump and the Republican Party have been consistently throwing millions of dollars into getting the Black vote. They won't win the Black vote. But if they can convince just enough voters of something that isn't particularly untrue -- that the Democrats aren't doing anything for us -- then it may be enough to give them victory in 2020.
Finally, the military coup in Bolivia is the next step in a global right-wing movement that is unified around religious fundamentalism, capitalism, and exploitation. And our American opposition to this movement doesn't know the score.

Episode 749 | Democrats Throw a Hail Mary with Bloomberg | Breitbart Loves Tusli | Voicemail Friday Nov 08, 2019

Episode 749 |
Michael Bloomberg enters the presidential race, and he is the last hope for the monied-interests in the Democratic Party. But it is too little too late. This generation of Americans understands the game and we're giving the middle finger to BILLIONAIRES.
Tulsi Gabbard returns to the premiere white supremacist media platform, Breitbart. This time, her visit was to fearmonger over "open borders."
I've got a lot of voicemails with great questions and great comments.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Episode 748 | Endorsements for Warren | Bernie is Our Nicest Offer | Revolution Nov 07, 2019

Episode 748
Ayanna Pressley has endorsed Elizabeth Warren along with 100 Black women organizes, activists, and influencers. Let's discuss.
When it comes to how radical Americans can be, the wealthy should take Bernie Sanders up on his rather considerate offer.
Finally, the best response to Republican treachery is a movement big enough that they couldn't possibly deny it.

Episode 747 | Dems Win Big, But What's Next | More Aftercare or Shorter Workdays? | A Better Way To Do This Nov 06, 2019

Episode 747
Democrats win big last night, but what's next? Will this new batch of Dems be prepared to take on Republicans and actually do something to help society? Or will they triangulate?
Kamala Harris announced a plan that would make schools equipped to keep children until 6 PM. The idea is meant to assist working parents. Here's a better idea: Let's shorten the workday.
Finally, I just think we are doing civilization all wrong. There are better ways of organizing society, and it starts with us believing we are more than just workers.

Episode 746 | Mayor Pete and The Black Vote | Blinded By Identity Politics? | Capitalism Sucks Nov 05, 2019

Episode 746 |
Mayor Pete has a problem in the Black community and it's not homophobia.
The Amazing Atheist and Kyle Kulinski have issues with identity politics. But they clearly see the problem with the way America treats their identity.
Finally, capitalism just sucks.

Episode 745 | Bernie Sanders and the Black Vote ... Again... Nov 04, 2019

I've said this since 2015. I know for certain that Black organizers have said this since then as well.
In fact, former Black, Sanders staffers said this while working on the campaign in 2016. Bernie has both the ability to authentically connect with Black voters of all backgrounds, but he isn't connecting with Black voters of all backgrounds.
Yes, he does well with Black millennials and Black Zoomers. But he needs to connect with Generation X, Boomers, the Black church and the politically apathetic. He certainly has the authenticity to do so. Will he? That was the question of 2016.
Let's discuss.... again.

Episode 744 | Paula White's Service to Trump | Gubernatorial Candidate Takes on Facebook | Voicemails Nov 01, 2019

Episode 744 | Evangelist Paula White made her entire career on the back of the Black church. Now, she's serving as spiritual cover for Donald Trump -- at the expense of the Black church.
Special guest, Adriel Hampton, discusses his primetime clash with Facebook over false political advertising and how he is challenging them head-on.
Voicemails!

Episode 743 | Joe Manchin Is a Backstabbing Judas | Obama's Hope for Civility? | Impeachment Vote Oct 31, 2019

Joe Manchin is a turncoat, backstabbing Judas who said he'd would NOT vote for Bernie Sanders if its Sanders versus Trump. Let's discuss.
Barack Obama speaks about "wokeness" and basically civility. He's mostly wrong. Let's discuss.
Finally, the vote for the impeachment inquiry took place today. Two Democrats voted against it. Time to get these JUDASES out of the paint.

Episode 742 | Bernie Up in Polls | Kirk Franklin Boycotts Christian Networks Oct 29, 2019

Episode 742 |
Bernie is up in the polls. He's pulling 1% from Joe Biden while Tulsi Gabbard is now at 5% and pulling that from Biden's 9% drop. Let's discuss.
Also, Kirk Franklin is a gospel artist who has decided to boycott a Christian awards show and television network. Here's the thing -- the problems he's calling out have been there all along.
Let's discuss!

Episode 741 | Bernie's "Answer" | Trump Get's Baghdadi AND Booed | Kanye's Religion of White Supremacy Oct 28, 2019

Episode 741 |
Bernie answered a difficult question over the weekend. Here's why his answer was both correct and insufficient.
Donald Trump managed to get Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and BOOED on the same day.
Finally, Kanye West is the lastest false-prophet of White Supremacy sent to the Black community to keep us focused on the hereafter while they collect checks in the here-and-now.

Episode 740 | Facebook "Trusts" Breitbart | Tulsi Shills for Trump? | What You'd Do With Medicare For All? Oct 25, 2019

Episode 740 |
Facebook will begin curating news articles from "trusted" publishers including The New York Times, LA Times, and... {checks notes}...Breitbart??? Let's discuss how we need to operate under the notion that Zuckerberg is just a conservative tech-bro who is fine with White, male supremacy because... BREITBART is a TRUSTED source??!?
Tulsi Gabbard went on Fox News and pandered Donald Trump's talking points helping to insulate him from impeachment. Time to call a spade a spade -- and Tulsi Gabbard is a conservative in "progressive" clothes.
Finally, four voicemails covering a wide variety of topics including "what you would do if you had Medicare for All."

Episode 739 | NYTimes Corrects Its Hillary Story as Tulsi Escalates Her Feud Oct 23, 2019

Episode 739
Folks -- I've got to call a spade a spade: Tulsi is increasing her grift and it is directly affecting the campaign of the one candidate running on a progressive platform -- Sanders.
The New York Times has corrected its original reporting claiming Clinton called Tulsi a "Russian Asset." I've got the audio that shows this is not what Clinton said.
More importantly than that, I need everyone to see how easily Tulsi and her Republican supporters are using everyone's hatred of Hillary Clinton to siphon off just enough percentage to swing this election to someone like Mayo Pete in the primaries and to Donald Trump in the general election.
So let's call a spade a spade and crush this narrative with alacrity.

Episode 738 | Zuck v Democracy | The Good Fight | Mayor Pete's Primary Oct 22, 2019

Episode 738 |
Mark Zuckerberg is a unique threat to democracy -- not just America -- but the entire experiment of democracy. Here is why.
"Good people will fight if we lead them." - A few quick thoughts about "good people" who need to fight as viciously for justice as other people are fighting against justice.
Finally, Mayor Pete. Please.

Episode 737 | AOC Endorsement | Tulsi Cannibalizing Bernie Support | Steps to Victory Oct 21, 2019

Episode 737 |
There was never a moment that I doubted whether AOC was going to endorse Bernie Sanders. Let's discuss!
Let me be clear: Tusli is cannibalizing Bernie support. Period.
Finally, let's talk about the practical steps we need to take for victory.

Episode 736 | Weekend Edition: Hillary versus Tulsi Oct 19, 2019

Special edition. I couldn't wait until Monday to chime in. A lot of thoughts. I hope you have time over the weekend to digest and to respond.
Have a blessed weekend.
-Ben

Episode 735 | Phone Call Friday | Bernie 2020, Kurds, China, and a Progressive Foreign Policy Oct 18, 2019

Episode 735 |
So this episode is going to be extremely long. SORRY!
But the callers had so many great questions that I decided to give as full answers as I possibly can. The topics that we covered were:
Turkey and the Kurds
Bernie 2020 -- how to beat Biden
China
American Empire and a Progressive Foreign Policy.
Sorry for the delay! I'm preparing for my wife's surprise 40th birthday party.
Have a great weekend!

Episode 734 | Rep. Cummings Dies at 68 | Squad Endorsements | Human Suffering Oct 17, 2019

Episode 734 |
We woke this morning to the news that Baltimore congressman Elijah Cummings had passed away at the age of 68. Let's discuss one of his most powerful speeches defending the children being caged at the border.
AOC and Ilhan Omar both endorsed Bernie, but now people are acting like these endorsements don't matter? How Sway?
Finally, I want to refine for you my fundamental position on almost all issues: Human suffering. This is what drives me to oppose the MIC and American imperialism. But, this is what also drives me to support oppressed people across the world no matter where I see them and no matter who is doing the oppressing.

Episode 733 | Debate Analysis | #BernieSquad | China's Capitalism Oct 16, 2019

Episode 733 |
Big night last night. Let's do a quick recap of the highs and lows of the evening. Then, we'll discuss the endorsements that broke the internet!
I discuss Bill O'reilly's apparent "come to Socialist Jesus" moment from yesterday evening.
Finally, I have to revisit the conversation on China from yesterday.
Love and Respect,
- Ben

Episode 732 | John Bolton | Zuckerberg and Tucker | Lebron and China Oct 15, 2019

Episode 732 |
Is John Bolton one of the whistleblowers? Could it be that the most blood-thirsty person on the planet did a decent thing on his way out? Will this lead to liberals embracing another monster from the Bush administration?
Mark Zuckerberg had a meeting with conservatives to compare notes about conservatism and social media. None of these tech companies are allies.
Finally, a long discussion on Lebron James and his "fumble" (yes, I know that's football) on the issue of China and why this story is so complex we have to break it apart piece by piece.
Let's go!

Episode 731| Phone Call Friday | Environmental Justice | Praxis Against Biden | Obama's Legacy Oct 11, 2019

Episode 731 | Another Phone Call Friday!
Thanks to all the callers. We discussed Elizabeth Warren's environmental justice plan, how we can actively get Biden out of here, President Obama's legacy, and my upcoming book!
Have a great weekend everyone!

Episode 730 | 100+ Kurdish Deaths So Far | Ellen's Class Solidarity | Bernie Makes a Comeback Oct 10, 2019

Episode 730 | Turkish officials confirm over 100 Kurdish fighters have been killed. Some images released show civil deaths -- even the deaths of children as young as six. All of this because Trump didn't understand or care about the magnitude of his responsibility. Now the real question is what will the rest of American leadership do about this? Tweet?
Ellen tries to censor a video criticizing her decision to stand in class solidarity with George W. Bush despite his war crimes.
Finally, Bernie is slowly but surely making a comeback! But here's what his supporters should consider.
Note about the featured image for today's episode: it's a recreation of the most compelling image from the Ellen video that was taken down. Behind Ellen is the image of one of George W. Bush's torture victims.

Episode 729 | Trump, Turkey, Kurds | Joshua Brown Vilified | Staus Coup | Apologizing to China?! Oct 08, 2019

Episode 729 | This is a FULLLLLL episode.
First, a quick update on everything happening in Northern Syria since Donald Trump betrayed our Kurdish allies. Things have gotten wild.
Second, Joshua Brown was a key witness in the conviction of Amber Guyger. He was shot dead last week. Now authorities are saying this is the result of a "weed" drug deal gone bad and that three men drove from Louisiana to buy weed from Brown. I call bullshit.
Third, my friends over at Status Coup got amazing audio of Trump supporters calling for Democrats who don't support him to be tried for treason and HUNG. It gets even wilder.
Finally, James Harden of the Houston Rockets apologized to China!??!? What the what?!?

Episode 728 | Trump Betrays Kurdish Allies and Leaves Them To Be Slaughtered By Erdogan Oct 07, 2019

Episode 728 -- today is an extremely sad day. Trump has betrayed our Kurdish allies in the fight against ISIS and left them to be attacked by his despotic buddy, Recep Erdogan.
Let's discuss.

Episode 727 | Phone Call Fridays | Impeachment, Hate Mail, and Bernie Contengency Plan? Oct 04, 2019

Episode 727 | Phone Call Fridays.
Four voicemails from our listeners including one guy who hates my show so much he regularly goes back to listen to our Election Night coverage just so he can relive our anguish. HAHAHAHA. That is hilariously sad on so many levels.
But the other callers were great! They asked questions about impeachment, why are some progressives afraid of impeachment, and the last caller asked about whether Bernie supporters should consider a backup plan.
Have a great weekend and I'll see you Monday!

Episode 726 | Black Christianity Forgives While White Christianity Goes to War Oct 03, 2019

Episode 726: I want to be clear upfront. I am not criticizing the family of Botham Jean for forgiving Amber Guyger. However, they need to heal is their business and theirs alone. However, this episode is about the requirement America places on Black Christians to constantly forgive their abusers. When has America ever shown Black people the amount of mercy they require from Black people!?

Episode 725 | Sanders Hospitalized | Will This Affect His Campaign? | Polling Data | Tulsi is an OP Oct 02, 2019

Episode 725 | Sanders is hospitalized.
First and foremost, a speedy and complete recovery to our friend, Bernie Sanders. Running for president is extremely demanding.
We have to discuss the political ramifications because, if the shoe were on the other foot, I would certainly use this against another candidate.
Next, let's discuss the polling data that shows how Biden has been cutting into Sanders' support for some time now. Yesterday's show wasn't that popular, but I've never lied to you. Here is the data. Bottom line, Biden is getting Sanders supporters from 2016 who hated Clinton but now see Biden as most electable. The action point? "BIDEN is unelectable" must be the talking point.
Finally, Tulsi Gabbard is an op. Listen to this audio of her parroting Donald Trump talking points nearly word-for-word.

Episode 724 | Joe Biden is Cutting Into Bernie Sanders' Base Oct 01, 2019

Episode 724 | Biden is Cutting Into Bernie Sanders' Lead
The prevailing narrative in the 2020 Primary cycle is that Elizabeth Warren is the artificial substitute for Bernie Sanders. Subsequently, we see a consistent press from social media and independent media going after Warren because of fears that she is pulling away voters from Bernie Sanders. The fact is, the real threat to Sanders' victory is Biden's support amongst white voters and older Black voters -- particularly in the South.
Let's discuss this.

Episode 723 | Phone Call Friday: 2016 Regrets, Culture Wars, Trump's N. Korea Strategy, and Transphobia Sep 27, 2019

I am so excited about interacting with you all again through phone calls -- even if only voicemails for now. We had four (maybe five) really great voicemails and we covered issues from North Korea to the culture wars to my personal journey from being homophobic to being an ally.
Listen in as we cover the issues brought up by you, the listener!

Episode 722 | Whistleblower Complaint Released | Tulsi is Against Medicare for All? Sep 26, 2019

Episode 721 | The whistleblower complaint has been released and it is entirely different than the "transcripts" from the call that Trump released yesterday. Let's dig into the details and the leaps of logic being committed by Republicans.
Secondly, it's Medicare for All or Nothing At All. Tulsi Gabbard has come out AGAINST Medicare for All and that's a problem.
Finally, I've included a short clip of the bonus show I'm giving Patrons based on my gut feeling that 2020 is going to be worse than 2016 and there may not be anything we can do about it.
Final finally: Call in and leave a voicemail for tomorrow's show: 857-600-0518

Episode 721 | Why Are Folks Mad About Impeachment? | Interview with Isaac McCorkle Sep 25, 2019

Episode 721 | Some people are working overtime to find ways to be upset about the impeachment inquiry. Why? Let's unpack this ridiculousness.
I had the chance to interview Isaac McCorkle. He's running for Colorado's 4th district.
Finally, Republicans are going to try to present themselves as calm, rational, and reasonable. Not on my watch. Always remember how they've carried themselves over the past 20 years.

Episode 720 | Pelosi Announces Impeachment Inquiry Sep 24, 2019

Episode 720 | Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi announces an impeachment inquiry into the crimes of President Donald J. Trump. Let's discuss the timing, the potential impact, the opposition, and the strategy.

Episode 719 | Greta Thunberg Shames Politicians Over Impending Climate Catastrophe | Poor & Frugal Sep 23, 2019

Greta Thunberg is the 16-year-old evinronmental activist who traversed the Atlantic Ocean to bring her message to America. In that time, this young woman has challenged the world and, arguably, changed the world. In here speech today she said that she refuses to believe that politicians understand the dilemma and still refuse to act because, if she believed that, then they would be evil. I've got bad news for this brilliant young woman.
Part 2 of today's show, a clip from Professor Rashawn Ray discussing the frugalness of poor black people. This goes against the standard tropes of Black poverty -- but that's intentional. Here's why.

Episode 718 | Biden Voters Have Their Matching Outfits READY for Primary Day | What is Pelosi Doing? Sep 20, 2019

Episode 718 | While we are engaged in an "extremely online" battle over the WFP poll, the reaction to that endorsement, the reaction to that reaction and -- I AM NOT EVEN JOKING -- the reaction to the reaction to the reaction to the WFP endorsement, older Biden voters have their outfits ready for Primary Day. They have an advantage that we -- no matter Warren or Sanders -- have to overcome.
And WHAT is Nancy Pelosi doing? I thought about this, and I only have one possibility left that she could be implementing to rid our nation of Donald Trump. "Timing." Timing of impeachment is almost as important as deciding to impeach the president or not. It may be a stretch -- but I think it is the only route she has left to NOT going down as the biggest threat to our Democracy second only to Trump.

Episode 717 | Primary Bitterness: Exacerbating the Divide Between Sanders and Warren Sep 19, 2019

Episode 717 | CHILL OUT EVERYBODY! Warren and Sanders is the team we need and we need to talk about all of the different voices trying to exacerbate the divide between those two. Let's discuss the four categories of people who would benefit from this division.

Episode 716 | Warren and Sanders OR Sanders and Warren | Black Media is CRITICAL Sep 17, 2019

Episode 716 | Warren and Sanders OR Sanders and Warren? Let's discuss. I firmly believe these two candidates need each other not only to win but also to govern in favor of progressivism. Because of that, it's critical that we do not throw so much "salt" into the conversation that it becomes impossible for these two to unite in the general election. We can disagree on which candidate should be at the top of the ticket. In fact, I argue both sides. Argue back. Tell me what you think.
Finally, Black media is going to be critical to 2020. I make the case showing you how much conservatives have begun investing in Black media ahead of 2020. Let's discuss.

Episode 715 | Trump "Locked and Loaded" for War with Iran | Bret Kavanugh and How Powerful Men Get Away Sep 16, 2019

Episode 715 | America Considers War with Iran over Houthi Attack in Saudi Arabia. One Democratic Senator, Chris Coons, already laid out the map for Trump to take. Notwithstanding we absolutely must get an Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF), let's discuss why it is that we have NO moral obligation or legal justification to go to war on behalf of Saudi Arabia.
Second on the show: Bret Kavanaugh. More allegations have surfaced, and now Democratic leaders are considering impeaching the Supreme Court justice. But let's discuss powerful men and how it has been the case through history that they are able to get away with abuse because we don't believe women.

Episode 714 | Progressive Foreign Policy Questions | Democratic Debate Tonight Sep 12, 2019

Episode 714 | Progressive Foreign Policy Questions.
We need to be able to offer a coherent and complete Progressive foreign policy that goes beyond analyses that end at "end America empire." While we all absolutely agree that American intervention and imperialists pursuits across the globe have been catastrophic--- if we take America completely out of the equation, there are still questions that we must answer to form a coherent progressive foreign policy.
Tonight is the Democratic debate! Initially, I wanted Warren and Sanders to not touch each other. However, Warren released her health care plan and it includes private insurers. This is not Medicare for All and I think tonight we need to be able to show the nation why this distinction matters.

Episode 713 | Tucker Carlson Claims Bolton was Progressive | Interview with Activist Cori Bush Sep 11, 2019

Episode 713 | Tucker Carlson of Fox News claims John Bolton was progressive. The level of lies and propaganda has gotten to an unimaginable level when one of the most devout conservatives in American history can be tossed away as a progressive for the convenience of the weekly news cycle and for the benefit of their Dear Leader, Donald Trump. But this is our new reality.
Also, I had the chance to speak with activist and community organizer, Cori Bush. She is a candidate for Missouri’s 1st Congressional District. We discussed her background, her politics, her activism and how her faith informs all of that.

Episode 712 | Trump Fires John Bolton | Interview With Brooke Thomas of TYT Sep 10, 2019

Episode 712 | John Bolton is OUT! And the world is safer because of it. The irony of the situation is that Trump fired him for fiercely opposing Trump's secret meeting with the Taliban. And as I always say, when two monsters fight, we should sit back and enjoy the show.
I had the chance to interview Brooke Thomas of The Young Turks Network. We spoke about being Black in media -- particularly in progressive media. The full interview is available on Patreon.com/TheBpdShow.
Tomorrow we speak with Cori Bush -- activist, organizer, and candidate for MO-01 congressional seat.

Episode 711 | Trump Rejects Dorian Refugees Without Visas | PragerU Goes Full Nazi Propaganda Sep 09, 2019

Episode 711 | The Trump administration is rejecting Hurricane Dorian refugees -- calling some of them "gangsters and drug dealers." Let's discuss.
Hank Green (one-half of the VlogBrothers) wants to know why the Left doesn't have anything like PragerU. Well, Hank, let me explain. (And I'll see you next Tuesday).
Finally, PragerU has gone full-Nazi propaganda. Let's discuss in terms of the global white supremacy that is so resurgent.

Episode 710 | Think Progress Shuts Down | Can Progressive Media Compete? Sep 06, 2019

Taking live calls discussing politics, media, and everything in between

Epsiode 709 | Trump's Legion of (Ryhmes With Doom) Sep 05, 2019

Episode 708 | Trump's Legion of (Rhymes with Doom)
**WARNING ⚠️ There is language in this episode that will offend many and make for an uncomfortable listening experience. I don't apologize for the language. Just want to give you a fair warning. ⚠️ **
This is a tough episode for me. I don't like discussing internal Black issues publicly. I generally like to only discuss these issues at our monthly secret society of Blackness meetings. But this can't wait. Let's discuss Trump's legion of doom -- his legion of black folks who Stepin Fetich their ways to a nice check.
And keep in mind -- unlike what some have said on Twitter, I don't think they are mentally ill and I think they are making a conscious decision to fill a lane that the vast majority of Black folks would never dare fill. Finally, they're making money doing this. So they're laughing all the way to the bank.

Episode 708 | Interview with "The Family" Netflix Documentary Author, Jeff Sharlet Sep 04, 2019

Episode 708 | The Family is a Netflix documentary about an "enigmatic Conservative Christian group... The Family wields strong influence over Washington D.C. in pursuit of its global ambitions."
In this episode, I speak with the author of the book that the documentary is based on, Jeff Sharlet. We dig into this series as well as the political and social implications of a religious organization that wields this much influence over political leaders.

Episode 707 | Interview with Jamelle Bouie of The New York Times | Xenophobic Attacks in South Africa Sep 03, 2019

Episode 707 | Interview with Jamelle Bouie of The New York Times | Xenophobic Attacks in South Africa
I had the chance to speak with Jamelle Bouie of the New York Times and we discussed his articles on a range of topics from politics to race and media bias. Full, un-edited version of the conversation available for Patrons.
Also, xenophobic violence has erupted as Black South Africans are targeting Nigerians. We'll listen to the reaction by President Cycil Ramaphosa and leader of the Economic Freedom Fighter, Julius Malema. You will recall, we did an extensive episode on Malema's plan to expropriate farmland from white South Africans without compensation. Episode 556 is available here: https://www.spreaker.com/user/thebenjamindixonshow/episode-556-south-african-land-expropria

Episode 706 | Labor Day | Bigotry is Bigotry | Jay-Z is Shucking and Jiving Sep 02, 2019

Episode 706 | The Labor Force Awakens
When last we met, our heroes had sacrificed.... okay nevermind. I can't possibly write this description in the format of a Star Wars episode... but I tried.
Labor Day 2019 and labor is as important today as ever before.
Check out this video of a woman who uses a new law in Mississippi to discriminate against the LGBTQ community and "Mixed Race" marriages.
Finally, it hurts me to have to say this: but Jay Z is a Stepin Fetchit-@$$-N*gga. Listen to this clip and let's discuss the real implications of blaming "angry young men" for their assassinations by the police.

Episode 705 | Fred Hampton 50 Years Later | Race and Class | Our "Black" Free Agency Aug 30, 2019

Episode 705 | So many miles to cover in this episode. First, we honor Chairman Fred Hampton on what would have been his 71st birthday. Then, we discuss his supposed alliance with a "racist" organization that was actually anti-racist. Finally, we discuss the need for non-black people to respect the political agency of Black people. Believe it or not, we can make decisions on our own.

Episode 704 | Bret Stephens' Bed Bug Controversy | No Joe Walsh | Yamiche Calls Trump a Liar Aug 28, 2019

Episode 704 | Imagine the worst thing you've been called is a bed bug. Now imagine leaving twitter over it and going on national television to complain about it. That's exactly what one conservative commentator did. Let's discuss how conservatives are the snowflakes they hate so much.
Joe Walsh launched a campaign against Donald Trump. Now he's lost his nationally syndicated radio show. And for what? Trump is going to win the primary because Republicans love his policies even if they hate his oafishness.
Finally, credit where credit is due. PBS reporter Yamiche Alcindor is perhaps one of the only journalists bold enough to call Donald Trump a liar to his face.
Now go become a patron. www.Patreon.com/TheBpDShow

Episode 703 | Interview With Rosa Clemente on Organizing In the Renaissance Of Fascism Aug 27, 2019

Episode 703 | Interview with Rosa Clemente
This episode was a pleasure to record. I had a chance to speak with organizer, activist, and independent journalist, Rosa Clemente. I was also joined by my good sister, Anoa Changa. We spoke about Puerto Rico, the diaspora, the renaissance of fascism and global white supremacy, as well as organizing, voting, and changing America.
Enjoy this immensely important conversation.

Episode 702 | Trump's Trade War | France Leads on Iran Nuke Deal | Nikki Halley Fails | Primary Pettiness Aug 26, 2019

Episode 702 |
Donald Trump's chief propagandist was sent out to Fox News to try to explain why the trade war with China isn't going good. Amongst other lies, Stephen Miller tried to rewrite history blaming deindustrialization on the Obama administration. But we've been headed this direction at least since 1972. Let's discuss.
Also, Nikki Haley tries to bash socialism and makes herself look like a fool in the process.
Finally -- let's talk more about primary pettiness and why it's extremely important that we don't get caught up in it.

Episode 701 | Deranged Donald | 2 Corinthians | Matt Sienkiewicz | Now Republicans Want Bipartisanship? Aug 23, 2019

This week has been particularly unhinged for Donald Trump. This is no hyperbole. This is terrifying. Let's discuss.
Also, Evangelicals have long been telling us how to live. But they see nothing wrong with Trump declaring himself the chosen one? Let's recall all the ways Trump is anything but Christian.
Part 1 of an extensive conversation with professor Matt Sienkiewicz as we discuss the "King of Israel" and "Jewish Loyalty" remarks from the President.
Finally, some Republicans want to get rid of Trump and seek bipartisanship with the Left. Umm... no. Trump is a monster of their own creation. Let's discuss.

Episode 700 | The Cost of Living | Insulin Rationing | Pia Klemp: The Hero We Deserve Aug 22, 2019

Episode 700 | The Cost of Living
The cost of living in the United States is having to accept that corporations can charge exorbitant prices for life-saving medications. And now, another young adult has died from having to ration his insulin supply. Let's discuss.
Pia Klempt is the German ship captain who helped save nearly 14,000 migrants in the Mediterranean Sea. While she was offered a medal celebrating her efforts, she faces 20 years in prison in Italy. Pia rejected the medal from Paris because of the hypocrisy.

Episode 699 | Trump: King of Israel? | No Flu Vaccines for Immigrants | 2020 Primary Pettiness Aug 21, 2019

First, Donald Trump questioned the loyalty of any Jewish person who votes for the Democratic Party. Then, the President shared tweets calling himself the King of Israel and the "second coming of God." God help us.
The Trump administration is gearing up to deny immigrants the flu vaccination. This could lead to the deaths of hundreds.
Finally, PLEASE PEOPLE! Don't let 2020 divide us the way 2016 did. There is a fascist in the White House. Act accordingly.

Episode 698 | Ben Shapiro's Eloquent Sophistry | Jill Biden Wants Us To Settle | Jay-Z Still In The News Aug 20, 2019

Episode 698 | Shapiro, Biden, and Jay-Z
Ben Shapiro is incapable of operating in good faith. His latest claim is that no major Republican figure ever questioned the legitimacy of Barack Obama's presidency. Nevermind Donald Trump.
Jill Biden wants us to go with her husband even if he isn't the best because the polls say he can beat Trump. We're more than a year out. Here's why this is a foolish suggestion.
Finally, I thought Jay Z was OUT of the news. But it's necessary for us to discuss this again.

Episode 697 | Trump Furious w/Fox News | CEO's Worried About Income Inequality? | GOP v 1619 Project Aug 19, 2019

Episode 697
Donald Trump is Furious with Fox News because they gave him less-than-perfect coverage. No one seems to care about this totalitarian behavior because we're so inundated with his madness.
CEOs release a statement that suggests they are concerned with income inequality and that, perhaps, they will no longer place shareholder interests above the interests of the broader community. I'll believe it when I see it in action.
The New York Times released its 1619 Project that documents the impact of slavery on modern-day American capitalism. Conservatives are pissed. But you would think they'd be okay with this since they were the party that ended slavery, right?

Episode 696| Jay Z Foils Kaepernick | Bernie v Media | Ben Shapiro v Hard Work | ADOS Aug 15, 2019

Jay Z is my favorite MC. Period. But this move with the NFL is trash.
Bernie Sanders versus the Media is NOT the same as Trump v the Media.
Ben Shapiro hates hard work and poor people.
Steve King defends rape and incest. (You heard right).
ADOS... so much to say.

Episode 695 | Wretched, Huddled Massess? Nah. Trump Wants Your Rich White Europeans Aug 14, 2019

Trump appointee, Ken Cuccinelli, rewrites the famed poem by Emma Lazarus. Then he went on CNN and denied saying it even though we have audio. What's more, he claims that the poem was referencing EUROPEANS.
We've gotten to a point in the American discourse where the racist parts are said out loud and the lies require zero effort.
Let's discuss.

Episode 694 | Trump's Tax Breaks FAIL | The Brutal Fight Ahead for Medicare for All Aug 13, 2019

We saw it coming a mile away -- and yet, here we are. Trump's tax breaks have exploded the deficit. And now they have the unmitigated gall to be asking for more.
And, have you considered the real fight ahead for Medicare For All? Can you imagine how far the filthy rich will go to protect billions -- if not trillions -- of dollars in revenue?
Let's discuss.

Episode 693 | El Paso Manifesto | We Know Who These Shooters Are Aug 05, 2019

WARNING: NSFW -- Do not listen to this episode around children. But, we know who these mass shooters are. We know who is possibly going to be the next shooter. But we do nothing about it. And we do nothing about the laws.

Episode 692 - Democratic Debate Drama | Why CNN Should Never Host Another Debate Aug 01, 2019

CNN is nothing but reality TV dramatics. They wanted to create as much drama as they could during the recent Democratic debates. Let's discuss the drama -- or at least the drama that was rooted in meaningful conversations -- and the broader issues of 2020.

FBI Director, Christopher Wray testifies before Congress that white nationalism is the greatest source of domestic terrorism.

Episode 690 | America Finally Calls Trump a Racist | Pandering To Racists Cause Economic Anxiety? Jul 22, 2019

Most of America finally admits Trump is a racist. But there are still a few hold outs who think he isn't actually racist but strategically being racist. What's the difference, and who cares?!
Let's talk about the AOC/Ilhan Squad #SquadGoals.

Episode 689 | Jeffrey Epstein Arrested: Low People In High Places | Conservatives HATE Megan Rapinoe Jul 08, 2019

Why do people protect pedophiles?! Why would people put their entire career, reputation, and legacies on the line to cover for people like Jeffrey Epstein?
We'll soon find out now that he has been indicted and evidence has been seized that could potentially implicate very powerful people.
Megan Rapinoe has another gift beyond soccer -- the ability to make conservatives enraged just by her being great. Let's discuss the impact her political activism has on the sport and on the minds of conservatives.

Episode 688 | Nike, Ross & Kaepernick | AOC Snaps over Genocide, GOP mad about her BEHAVIOR?! Jul 02, 2019

Episode 688 | Nike is catching heat over Kaepernick once again. This time over a very poorly designed Betsy Ross-themed running shoe. Seriously, have you seen the shoe?
Kaepernick is saying that it's because of the shoe's connection to slavery, but he could have just as well said the shoe was just ugly and no black person would ever by that -- even without knowing the flag has ties to slavery and to present day white supremacy.
In other news, AOC got angry at genocide and screamed at some working-class border patrol agents. Obviously, Republicans are concerned with what really matters like treating people like humans at the border, ensuring that children are specially cared for, and creating a sensible and humane asylum process. HAHA, yeah right. They're concerned with AOC yelling over human rights violations.
Let's talk about how Republicans regularly use "civility" to create a false-equivalence between AOC yelling and the genocide she was yelling over.

Episode 686| Est. 1953: America's Long Road to an Unnecessary War With Iran Jun 19, 2019

Donald Trump is going to wag-the-dog us right into war with Iran. Everything about this possible conflict is unnecessary. And everything about this -- everything that led to this point-- is America's fault.
Take a listen in as I rant about how from 1953 to the present, America created its own problems in Iran and now their latest solution is an all out war.

Episode 681 | Republicans Are Neoliberals. Period. Jun 04, 2019

Fair Warning: I yell a lot in this episode. Check your volume.
Episode 681. Listen, I've argued this before but it has to be argued again. Republicans ARE Neoliberal. Neoliberalism is an economic paradigm and has been a constant in America since Ronald Reagan. So if you're arguing that people are pushed to fascism because of Neoliberalism and neoliberalism is constant in both parties, it is highly illogical.

Episode 679 | Placating Revolutionaries: Boomers Got Homes , Millenials Get Social Media May 28, 2019

Capitalism is always finding new ways of satiating the masses -- to keep us from rebelling against the systemic economic plunder that takes place every day. But today it dawned on me that, while Boomers were placated with home ownership, our generation is basically distracted and happy with flexing on social media.
Let's talk about it.

Episode 675 | The Establishment is Trying to Out-Flank Sanders on Reparations and He isn't Helping Mar 11, 2019

Bernie Sanders still doesn't support reparations. This is 2016 all over again except the political establishment has head-faked to the Left of Sanders as though they actually support reparations. They don't. But Sanders has been so bold on other issues that it is frustrating to see him be *pragmatic* only when it comes to reparations.

Episode 671 | BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: The Relaunch of Frederick Douglass's North Star Nov 01, 2018

The biggest lesson I've learned over the past four years of doing independent media and using that platform to fight for what's important to us is that if you don't control your stories -- if you don't have decision making power to determine what is told, how it's told, or when it's told -- then someone else will, and it's a good chance that "someone else" doesn't have the concern and love for our community that we do.
BIG NEWS.
My good friend Shaun King and I are relaunching Frederick Douglass and Martin Delany's North Star with the full blessings and permission of the family of Frederick Douglas (which is pretty dope everytime I think about it). We're rebuilding it as a modern media company focusing on the stories that matter to us and the stories that are seldom heard.
We are in the pre-launch phase and want you to become a part of our launch team. Basically, just signup for updates and announcements.
Share this news on social media. Email it to a friend. What we're doing is historic and will have an impact that reverberates around the country and the globe.
Help us build the North Star.

Episode 666 | Stacey Abrams Burned a Confederate Flag. People Upset Probably Weren't Voting For Her Oct 23, 2018

Stacey Abrams burned a Georgia flag that had the image of the confederacy on it. My friend Marcus Ferrell put it brilliantly: Anyone that has an issue with this was never going to support her.
I think that this statement can say a lot about the fight that I apparently refuse to let go of: Anyone who has an issue with directly fighting racism was never going to support a coalition that does fight racism.
So why should we waste time on them when there are tens-of-millions of people we CAN reach who never voted.

Episode 662 | The 2020 Court Packing Litmus Test | Why YOU Need to Run for Office Oct 10, 2018

There is no progressive future without fixing the damage on the Supreme Court. In 2018 it is critical Democrats get majorities in the Senate (except Manchin, he can eat a ****). But in 2020, it is critical that we hold Democrats to a Court Packing litmus test.
IMPORTANT: This isn't a litmus test that says "I'm not gonna vote for Dems if they don't do what I like." This is a litmus test that says, "I'm going to check with the politicians from my district and state and if they aren't going to pack the courts, then I will run against them."
You don't have to vote for the lesser evil if you run to be the greater good.

Episode 656 | Republicans are LITERAL Neoliberals Oct 01, 2018

For some of you, this will be like "Duh." But I'm discovering more and more how many people don't understand that Neoliberalism is a specific set of economic policies that are most promoted -- and promoted in their extreme form -- by Republicans.
If this is a review for you, then bare with me as I make this plain for some people.

Episode 655| A Farewell to Ignorance Sep 30, 2018

Enough is enough. Time to move on from hoping to talk sense into a group that doesn't want any.
Long story short, we've got to work. We've got to organize more. We've got to get into position to actually effect change. Shouting at Democrats from the sidelines while Republicans are running up the score for neoliberalism is a failing strategy.
Let's talk about it.

Episode 654 | Kavanaugh Wielding Power Over Women's Bodies | Grandstanding Over Gillum Sep 27, 2018

We're seeing the worst in the treatment of women revived to help elevate Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court so that Bret Kavanaugh can enforce his will on the bodies of women by repealing Roe-v-Wade just as he allegedly forced his will on the body of the women who reported sexual assault.

Episode 653 | Part 4: Independent Media: No Girls Allowed with @MuseWendi and @Sansdn Sep 25, 2018

I delayed part four so I could include voices of women. Even though I pointed out the male-dominated space, I would have been perpetuating the problem by not including the voices of women.

Episode 652 | Part 3: Why Media Caters to Its Audience Versus The Hard Truth w/@mediastudied Sep 21, 2018

Part three in a four-part series on independent media and how it reflects mainstream media.
In this conversation, I speak with @MediaStudied again about the lanes that support the current power structure and why it has become increasingly necessary for media to cater to those lanes.
In the context of how people of color (Black people specifically) fit into these lanes, historically it has always been about how we can serve one of those lanes. The moment you challenge your lane, you're likely to get similar treatment as you would in any of the other lanes be it the Democratic establishment lane, the Republican establishment lane, or the "anti-establishment" establishment lane.
Which leads us to the question of access to platforms? Well, the answer is, so long as you say what they want to hear, you can access any of these three lanes. The moment you challenge it -- even the so-called anti-establishment lane -- you either lose access or that media company runs the risk of losing the demographic it serves.
All of this is applicable to politics and policy. All of this underscores the importance of identity.

Episode 651 | Part 2: How The Independent Media Space Is Nearly Identitical to Mainstream Media Sep 19, 2018

Part two of an ongoing conversation. Today's podcast is a conversation I had with @QGotNoRings and @Deuce1042 about this independent media space.

Episode 650 | How Independent Media Reflects and Serves the Current Power Structure Sep 18, 2018

This is part one of four podcasts based on two hours of conversations I had with @MediaStudied, @QGotNoRings, and @Deuce1042 (all on twitter) about how independent media both reflect the current power structure and, in its own way, is merely fulfilling a function of the current power structure.
We get into the weeds a bit, but it was an important conversation -- especially for me.

Episode 649 | The Smearing of Botham Jean Sep 14, 2018

Watching the Dallas police smear a man who was killed while resting in his home is surreal. But they've done this so many times, the smearing of Black people killed by police has been perfected down to a science.
Today's bonus show I cover "Useless contrarianism" -- the performative art of grandstanding but doing nothing to help progressive goals.

Episode 648 | Why The Culture War and Social Issues Are All That Matter Sep 12, 2018

Kyle Kulinski of Secular Talk is a friend of mine and I respect his work. But a tweet he sent out -- though he certainly offered clarification -- gives us the opportunity to explore the idea that the culture war is a distraction or best understood as a tool used by oligarchs to keep us divided. I used to think this too until I thought this all the way through.

They are plotting to end our freedom of speech while crying that we -- who are actually defending their free speech-- are actually trying to take theirs away.

Donald Trump has taken the party's most essential command a little too literally asking the people to not believe their eyes and ears. But what's far worse than what George Orwell could foresee is that the people, the proles, aren't being controlled by Big Brother. The people are rejecting tangible, objective reality on their own accord because of hyperpartisanship. They will literally convince themselves that 2+2 =/= 4 just to own the libs.
Nina Turner read this CNN panel for filth. Let's enjoy it together with a couple of points for analysis.
Finally, Meghan McCain is a moron. I don't mean that in an overly simplistic, ad hominem fashion. I mean it in the sense that her political-economic analyses are as fatuous as those made by Dave Rubin.

Episode 605 is wild. First up, a conservative from VA is proud to be a pedophile and thinks he can win because America is tired of "Political Correctness." A Black family in Florida is "awarded" 4 cents for the wrongful death of their loved-one. Finally, Samantha Bee is trash -- but not for calling Ivanka Trump the "c" word.

***EPISODE 596 | Trump is pulling out of the Iranian Nuclear Deal because it doesn’t address all of the other problems with Iran. So in other words, he doesn’t want to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon until they stop being “bad guys.” Doesn’t that make perfect sense?

Episode 571 - John Paul Stevens v 2nd Amendment - Facebook Data Helps ICE - Guns & Violent Revolution Mar 27, 2018

***EPISODE 571 | Notes and Links***
97-year-old John Paul Stevens is far more radical than most liberals when it comes to gun policy. We discuss his NYTimes opinion piece calling for the repeal of the Second Amendment.
Turns out ICE is using Facebook data to track down their targets.
I think it’s time we discuss these fantasies of violent revolution against the United States and how those dreams are being co-opted to serve White Supremacy through the NRA.
Finally, Linda Brown -- the woman at the center of Brown v the Board of Education (1954) has died at the age of 76.

***EPISODE 570 | Notes and Links***
March For Our Lives was phenomenal. Emmaz Gonzalez spoke powerfully. But there seem to be a lot of venomous criticisms of the Parkland youth coming from the Left and the Right. Let’s take a look at both sides’ criticisms as well as listen to an amazing clip from Tiffany Loftin that I argue is the exact way you should handle these types of things.

Episode 568 | Austin Bomber is Dead | Donald J. Trump: The Master of White Supremacy Mar 21, 2018

***EPISODE 568| Notes and Links***
The Austin Texas bomber has been identified as 24-year-old Mark Anthony Conditt. He killed himself in a suicide-bombing injuring police.
It took three weeks for Donald Trump to mention the bombings and even then he did not mention the Black victims. America is currently suffering from a white supremacists murder spree and the President who has all the words for “terrorism” has not only been silent, but he’s enabled this violence with equivocations that betray the “bumbling idiot” persona he has carefully crafted. Trump is the master of White supremacy.

In Florida, your sentence can vary dramatically for no other reason than your race. The Herald Tribune put together a study to show empirically what systemic racism in our Justice system looks like.

Episode 564 | TN GOP Refuses To Condemn Neo-Nazis | Trump Lies to Trudeau | Remembering Draylen Mason Mar 15, 2018

*** Today's Show ***
The GOP in TN refused a resolution that would condemn neo-nazis and white supremacists. That's because they couldn't possibly label their supporters as domestic terrorists.
Donald Trump is a liar. His base doesn't care. That's the real problem.
Democrats are already showing they learned the wrong lesson from PA18 race.
And honoring the memory of the 17-year-old young, Black man killed by a package bomb this week.
