The Benjamin Dixon Show

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 Zoom...

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!

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 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.

Let's discuss!

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 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 Tru...

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 every...

Episode 738 | Mark Zuckerberg is a unique threat to democracy -- not just America -- but the entire experiment of democracy. Here is why.

Please.

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.

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

I'm preparing for my wife's surprise 40th birthday party. Have a g...

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 al...

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 | 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 discu...

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 | 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...

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...

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. 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...

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 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...

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...

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 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...

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 pa...
