The Benjamin Dixon Show

Episode 616 | We are being held to a standard of civility while Donald Trump isn't even being held to a standard of constitutionality. Our anger is deligtimized while they're anger is weaponized politically. This is an asymetrical political conflict and we've already lost if we continue to allow them to hold us to different rules of engagment.

Episode 615 | Sarah Sanders got denied service at a restaurant for being the spokesperson for a bigot and moderates lost their minds.

Episode 613 | Black nationalists/Hoteps (I'm intentionally drawing with a broad stroke here) are saying that we shouldn't have solidarity with immigrants at the border. Here's why that's stupid. White identity politics is at the core of what drives Donald Trump and his base. Therefore we have to fight based on that. Antwon Rose was killed by a police officer who was on his first day on the job.

Episode 612 | Republicans support Trump's separation policy. This barbaric act is precisely why we can't coddle any form of supremacy. They have to be confronted head on. I make the case in today's episode.

Episode 611: It's one thing for Trump to be cordial and kind to Chairman Kim in hopes of fostering peace. But this clip shows that Trump admires Kim as a dictator. Jeff Sessions is a devil. Listen to this clip and you'll agree.

Episode 610 is a little longer and a bit more dense than average episodes. So here is a breakdown of each section: Section 1 (opening): Criticizing the criticisms of the Singapore Summit.

Section 3 (12:40): The democratization of our political ideology Section 4 (19:20): The first ideological contradictio...

Howard Schultz wants to run for President but has serious economic problems. Finally, Mesa AZ police assault is unbelievable, yet, so very believable.

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. Never apologize to conservatives.

Episode 604 | BREAKING: Donald Trump to Pardon another convicted criminal -- Dinesh D'Souza. Trump's loyalty fears no hypocrisy.

Episode 601 | Ben Shapiro, Dave Rubin, Jordan Peterson, Sam Harris -- they are all perfectly carrying out the mission to win the culture wars once and for all. They are all in some fashion funded by wealthy conservatives who know that the new fight is to be won in New Media. And progressives and liberals are FAR BEHIND! All of that and why I joined my church choir. It's a funny and heartwarming (m...

EPISODE 600!!!!! Let's discuss Jordan Peterson's "explanation" of "enforced monogamy" and how the Right has intellectualized and monetized "bigotry" to sustain the White, male power structure of the United States.

***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? ********************************************************************************** Thanks to all of our newest patrons! NO NE...

Episode 593 | Kanye West is doing so much damage by spreading old, tired white supremacists idoleogies and wrapping them in "Free Thinking" to the detriment of Black people across the globe. It's no longer just an "artist" speaking his mind. Here's why it's so important.

Episode 592 - Interview with Glenn Greenwald on his article about Joy Ann Reid and wether progressives gave her too much energy last week. Also, did I "subtweet" him or nah? lol... great conversation. Enjoy.
