Today is Friday, July twenty eighth, twenty and 5 00:00:31,079 --> 00:00:34,719 twenty three. Thank you so much for joining me. Presidential hopeful Rhn de 6 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:43,000 Santis has responded to Florida Representative Byron Donalds criticism very mild criticism of the language 7 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:49,079 in the new Florida curriculum that states that black people benefited from slavery by acquiring 8 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:54,759 skills. This was his response to fellow Republican Byron Donalds the end of the 9 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:59,200 day, you gotta choose. Are you gonna sign with Kamala Harris in liberal 10 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,399 media outlet? Are you going to side with the state of Florida? And 11 00:01:02,479 --> 00:01:06,280 I think it's very clear that these guys did a good job on those standards. 12 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:11,120 It wasn't anything that was politically motivated. These are serious scholars. You've 13 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:17,159 seen doctor Allen out on gun TV talking about the stories, talking about his 14 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:21,640 own family history and everything like that. So don't side with Kamawah on that 15 00:01:21,879 --> 00:01:25,560 stand up, so run to Santis is now telling black conservatives not to stand 16 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:30,239 up for their blackness, but rather stand up for his particular Florida Curriculum. 17 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,200 Will have much more on this later in today's episode, but first the Headlands. 18 00:01:34,159 --> 00:01:38,280 The United States is facing the possibility of yet another government shutdown, this 19 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,599 time the result of the far right wink House Freedom Call because waging a culture 20 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:48,680 war attempting to defund all so called woke federal funding. We should not fear 21 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,799 a government shutdown. Most of what we do up here as bad. Anyway, 22 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,680 most of what we do up here hurts the American people. Mostly American 23 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,760 people won't even miss if the government is shut down temporarily. That was the 24 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,760 voice of Representative Bob Good, the congressman from Virginia's fifth congressional district and also 25 00:02:01,879 --> 00:02:07,240 member of the House Freedom Caucus. House Republicans erupted into booze as Katherine Clark, 26 00:02:07,319 --> 00:02:14,159 the representative from the fifth Congressional district of Massachusetts, called out Republicans recklessness 27 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,360 with their latest attempt to shut down the government. Funding our government is our 28 00:02:17,479 --> 00:02:24,159 basic job. The comments from the GOP conference about how we could go into 29 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:30,039 a MAGA shutdown and it wouldn't matter. Our outrageous and don't talk to us 30 00:02:30,159 --> 00:02:37,039 about standing for veterans when the GOP was the one that have cut veterans housing, 31 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,960 has cut their healthcare. Has said to our women, our active women 32 00:02:43,719 --> 00:02:53,560 military women said it is okay to ask our military women to fire. Georgia 33 00:02:53,599 --> 00:02:58,840 Representative Marjorie Taylor Green, who is facing a possible public reprimand for displaying nude 34 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:04,120 images of Hunter Biden during a recent congressional hearing, un ironically called for California 35 00:03:04,199 --> 00:03:08,039 Representative Robert Garcia, who adhered to the Houses rules of decorum actor calling out 36 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:13,800 Green over her anti VAXX conspiracy theories. But just like rfkin are the conspiracy 37 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,879 theorists, members this committee continue and continue to attack the vaccines. Vaccines saved 38 00:03:17,879 --> 00:03:23,439 lives. The pandemic costs US one point three plus million Americans. It's the 39 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,360 single largest, most devastating loss of life event to win, Mister Chairman, 40 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:32,159 modern era. Mister Chairman, I'd like to make a point of order and 41 00:03:32,199 --> 00:03:36,800 ask the members to be reminded of the rules of decorum. Sure, what 42 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,159 rules are those? What rules of decorum? Indeed, and during a congressional 43 00:03:40,199 --> 00:03:45,560 hearing on whether or not the government should ban gender affirming care for all trans 44 00:03:45,599 --> 00:03:51,719 adults, Representatives Sheila Jackson Lee from the eighteenth Congressional District of Texas utilize her 45 00:03:51,759 --> 00:03:53,639 time to make this state. But I will not sit here and allow the 46 00:03:53,719 --> 00:03:59,400 trans community to be abused and in essence to be rejected. And for someone 47 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:04,240 somewhere let me say your life is worthwhile. And finally, former President Donald 48 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:09,800 Trump, who is facing his third and fourth potential indictment, is facing new 49 00:04:09,879 --> 00:04:14,800 charges in the mari Lago Classified Documents case after new allegations have emerged that he 50 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,680 ordered his staff at Marlago to erase the servers containing surveillance footage. This, 51 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:24,839 ironically after years of Donald Trump alleging that the DNC and the Hillary Clinton campaign 52 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:29,160 did the same. Where is the server? How come the FBI never got 53 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,879 the server from the DNC. Where is the server? I want to see 54 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,639 the server. Let's see what's on the server now. I don't know how 55 00:04:35,639 --> 00:04:41,639 the FBI can investigate something if the DNC the Democrats refuse to give the server. 56 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,160 Both Washington, d C. And Fulton County, Georgia are preparing for 57 00:04:45,199 --> 00:04:49,279 potential violence with the third and fourth potential indictments of Donald Trump alone. These 58 00:04:49,319 --> 00:04:53,920 are just some of the headlines for today Friday, July twenty eighth, two 59 00:04:53,959 --> 00:04:58,560 thousand and twenty three. Also on this day in Black history, July twenty 60 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,959 eighth, nineteen seventeen, and estimated fifteen thousand Black Americans marched without words in 61 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:08,319 New York City and what is known as the Silent Parade. The Silent Parade 62 00:05:08,399 --> 00:05:13,120 was in response to lynchings, murders, and every form of violence inflicted upon 63 00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:16,480 Black Americans at the hands of whites and known white supremacists across the nation. 64 00:05:16,959 --> 00:05:23,800 However, the immediate events which precipitated this impressive protest were the lynchings in Memphis, 65 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,120 Tennessee of l persons, the Waco horror of Jesse, Washington, and 66 00:05:28,199 --> 00:05:31,519 the race riots of East Saint Louis in May and July of nineteen seventeen. 67 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:36,279 These riots resulted in the murder of forty Black Americans. The protests march was 68 00:05:36,399 --> 00:05:43,360 organized by the NAACP church and community leaders. Leading the Silent Parade were children 69 00:05:43,519 --> 00:05:46,800 dressed in white, followed by women dressed in white, ending with men dressed 70 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:51,879 in black, and although the protest was silent. Participants carried signs with various 71 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:57,800 messages including we march because we deem it a crime to be silent in the 72 00:05:57,879 --> 00:06:01,120 face of such barbaric acts. They also had signs as stated, we march 73 00:06:01,399 --> 00:06:05,920 because we want our children to live in a better land. Black Boy Scouts 74 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:12,680 handed out informational flyers who onlookers as the participants marched silently to the cadence of 75 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:21,920 muffled drums The Silent Parade y eight nineteen seventeen. For more Black history facts, 76 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,279 go to Black Heritage days dot com, where you can get access to 77 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,040 three hundred and sixty six days of Black history provided by none other than my 78 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,759 friend and my brother, doctor Karl Mack, who I consider to be the 79 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:40,360 people's historian. When we come back, Black conservatives are speaking out against Ron 80 00:06:40,399 --> 00:06:45,759 De santiss revisionist history in the state of Florida, and the De Santist campaign 81 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:50,480 is attacking they have attacked. These Black conservatives who dare to speak up for 82 00:06:50,639 --> 00:07:06,279 their blackness will be back right after the spring. Look, I'm in nine 83 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:10,920 with the stars. I'm gonna sink with the earth tintoast deep flower Child from 84 00:07:10,959 --> 00:07:13,959 the turf. I never switch sides like even when I die, I'm gonna 85 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,040 ride for the squad letter ties in the hearse I've been on the five. 86 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,959 Kind of hard to describe. I remem between I'm good and it's fine, 87 00:07:18,959 --> 00:07:21,879 but I'm tired of the grind. Then I come alive in the night to 88 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,920 realize I'm in the middle with the time of my life. I never saw 89 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,279 back Chris Stack at the light on the back batter back from the pain that 90 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:36,439 I write it, Queen looking Tyson, that's fine. Welcome back to The 91 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:46,560 Benjamin Dixon Show. Visitors online at the Benjamin Dixon Show dot Com. Yep, 92 00:07:49,240 --> 00:08:01,199 welcome back. I um, I must admit that I have changed my 93 00:08:01,279 --> 00:08:07,720 opinion and my take on the black conservatives that are standing up against this revisionist 94 00:08:07,839 --> 00:08:15,040 history, this insult to injury, this tip, this consolation prize for slavery, 95 00:08:15,079 --> 00:08:18,399 which was at least black folks acquired some skills. I think it is 96 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,839 revisionist history, and I think it is the attempt of the cruelty is the 97 00:08:22,879 --> 00:08:28,079 point, right. I think they enjoy pouring salt into the open wound that 98 00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:33,159 is America's original sin. And my original take was almost to just say, 99 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,240 you know what, black conservatives I told you so. And you know what, 100 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,279 I can admit when I needed to shift and change a little bit, 101 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:48,480 because despite the fact that I disagree with the politics of these black conservatives, 102 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,559 probably i'd say a good seventy five to eighty percent clip, I disagree with 103 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,600 them, but I have to admit, I am I can't help but to 104 00:08:56,639 --> 00:09:03,320 be extremely proud of the fact that when the rubber met the road, these 105 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,879 particut not all black conservatives. I still have to see what Candice Owens is 106 00:09:05,919 --> 00:09:09,759 going to say. Yea, she has me blocked on Twitter, so I 107 00:09:09,799 --> 00:09:13,120 don't know. She probably has already come down on the side of Rhonda Stantists. 108 00:09:13,159 --> 00:09:18,240 But these black conservatives, Byron Donalds, who I have never said a 109 00:09:18,399 --> 00:09:22,279 kind thing about, I have to admit that I am proud of this brother 110 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,159 taking a stand against Rhonda Santists at the risk of his own career. The 111 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:31,000 rest of Byron Donald's politics suck. He still supports Donald Trump, but when 112 00:09:31,039 --> 00:09:33,000 it came down to his blackness, he said, no, I'm gonna draw 113 00:09:33,039 --> 00:09:37,559 the line here, and so I salute that brother, even if it's in 114 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,919 a limited sense. But I want you to listen to this clip of Rhonda 115 00:09:41,039 --> 00:09:45,840 Santists as he was asked by a reporter specifically about Byron Donalds, and I 116 00:09:45,879 --> 00:09:50,679 want you to listen to how he simply suggests that Byron Donald's should get in 117 00:09:50,759 --> 00:09:56,159 line, stop following Kamala Harris, and stand up for this revisionist history in 118 00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:03,840 the state of Florida. So he was critical about particularities, this little dust 119 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,679 stuff between the campaign environ Donalds. Is that helpful though? So, Um, 120 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,279 the end of the day, you got to choose. Are you gonna 121 00:10:11,279 --> 00:10:16,039 side with Kamala Harris in liberal media outlets? Are you gonna side with the 122 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,759 state of Florida? And I think it's very clear that these guys did a 123 00:10:18,799 --> 00:10:24,639 good job on those standards. It wasn't anything that was politically motivated. These 124 00:10:24,639 --> 00:10:30,320 are serious scholars. You've seen doctor Allen out on on TV talking about the 125 00:10:30,399 --> 00:10:33,919 stories, talking about his own family history and everything like that. So don't 126 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:39,840 side with Kamala on that stand up. Don't side with Kamala on that stand 127 00:10:39,919 --> 00:10:46,480 up for Florida. Um, he's not siding with Kamala Harris. I can. 128 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,120 I can certainly tell you that if you ask any black conservative what they 129 00:10:50,159 --> 00:10:54,840 think about Kamala Harris, they are not siding with Kamala Harris run Descantis. 130 00:10:54,919 --> 00:11:00,480 They're siding with their blackness. They're siding with the reality that under no circumstances 131 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:05,480 should we try to cast a single facet of slavery in a positive light. 132 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:13,639 You even have a Senator Tim Scott who came out and said the exact thing, 133 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:18,200 that there's no reason for anyone to try to cast a single component of 134 00:11:18,279 --> 00:11:24,120 slavery as something positive. And listen, have you ever heard me say something 135 00:11:24,159 --> 00:11:28,600 positive about Tim Scott? Um? But I would be remiss. It would 136 00:11:28,639 --> 00:11:33,399 be a shame on my blackness if I allowed my disdain for all of the 137 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:39,399 rest of their politics to make me ignore the fact that in this moment they're 138 00:11:39,399 --> 00:11:43,159 speaking the truth. Listen, listen to this clip. I apologize for the 139 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,159 quality of the audio. It's a little difficult to hear, but if you 140 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:52,480 listen closely, Tim Scott is speaking the truth upon the freedom, greatest dear 141 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:58,799 freedom for slavery. There's there's no silver lining freedom and slavery. The truth 142 00:11:58,879 --> 00:12:03,960 is anything you can learn that any benefits of people suggests he had the slavery, 143 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:09,000 you would have had a free person. Slavery was really about separating. 144 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:15,320 Factis about mutilating humans and even ripping their wives. It was just devastating. 145 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:20,879 So I would hope that every person in our country, certainly running for president, 146 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,279 would appreciate that. And people have bad days sometimes they regret what they 147 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:30,000 say, and we should ask them again to clarify the musicians, Well, 148 00:12:30,039 --> 00:12:33,080 they did ask him again. And see this is where I started parting ways 149 00:12:33,159 --> 00:12:39,480 with my conservative brothers and sisters. I part ways with them because they are 150 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,240 giving Rhan de Santists too much of the benefit of the doubt. Byron Donald's 151 00:12:43,279 --> 00:12:48,440 criticism of this curriculum was very tepid, was I mean, it was a 152 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,759 slight disagreement. If there was ninety nine percent agreement, there was only one 153 00:12:52,799 --> 00:12:58,919 percent of disagreement. And yet and still it was enough for the Disantists campaign 154 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,320 to come out forth wrote it against them. I mean, the type of 155 00:13:01,519 --> 00:13:07,000 the number of people who call this man a sellout. Now I have called 156 00:13:07,039 --> 00:13:11,200 him sellout myself. I'm not even going to front. But to see white 157 00:13:11,279 --> 00:13:16,759 Republicans calling this black man a sellout, these two black men sellouts because they 158 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,600 stood up for their blackness, you just have to forgive me. I just 159 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:26,120 could not possibly sit back and not say something about that. But to Tim 160 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:31,360 Scott's point, he said that there's there's no there is literally nothing that black 161 00:13:31,399 --> 00:13:37,039 people may have acquired during slavery that they could not have acquired in freedom, 162 00:13:37,759 --> 00:13:43,639 and that there is no silver lining in slavery. Where I disagree with Tim 163 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:48,960 Scott on and Rhonda Santists disagrees with them also is the fact that we should 164 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,120 give them another chance to answer. Well, Runda Santists got another chance to 165 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:56,200 answer. He was asked by another reporter at the same event, and at 166 00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:01,440 this time, Ruhnda Santists got upset because we'll reasons one, how dare anyone 167 00:14:01,519 --> 00:14:05,200 questioned the fewer? And number two, well, Rhonda Santists is just a 168 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:09,480 small, petty man who's not ready for prime time listening. Were there beneficial 169 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:13,759 aspects to slavery? That's not what the curriculum says. What do you think 170 00:14:13,039 --> 00:14:18,360 There's no, it's not And the curriculum is very clear. You have I 171 00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:22,279 think it's like two hundred plus pages of all kinds of stuff that you can't 172 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:28,840 read that have you read it? So what's your Have you read it but 173 00:14:28,919 --> 00:14:31,320 you haven't read it? So I'm just just making that clear. That makes 174 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:37,679 it very clear about the injustices of slavery in vivid detail. So anyone that 175 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:43,240 actually read that and then listens to Kamala would know that she's lying. And 176 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:48,360 that particular provision about the skills that was in spite of slavery, not because 177 00:14:48,399 --> 00:14:52,600 of the ap course has made that same point. Other courses have made that 178 00:14:52,639 --> 00:14:56,039 same point. Nobody said anything about that, and doctor Allen and those people 179 00:14:56,039 --> 00:15:00,919 will say, look, this is what was used postbellum when these folks were 180 00:15:00,919 --> 00:15:03,120 doing stuff. So that was very very clear, And I would just say, 181 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,480 you know, people can read it, but they did a very good 182 00:15:05,519 --> 00:15:09,679 job on it, and there can be no confusion about where they would come 183 00:15:09,679 --> 00:15:13,320 down. He keeps referencing doctor Allan, this is the guy who's gone, 184 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:18,639 the black man who's gone across Fox News and so many other platforms to defend 185 00:15:18,759 --> 00:15:24,440 Ronda Santis, but completely ignores the fact that there are plenty of black conservatives 186 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:30,879 who have a problem with this language. Very directly to state, at under 187 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:35,440 any circumstances that there was a benefit to the cruelty of chattel slavery in the 188 00:15:35,559 --> 00:15:39,960 United States of America is a slap in the face, and as black conservatives 189 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,600 are standing up for their blackness. White Republicans are trying to whip them back 190 00:15:45,639 --> 00:15:50,080 into submission, whip them back onto the plantation of the Republican Party. And 191 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,919 you know, forgive me for using the same language that they try to use 192 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,879 as it pertains the black people who might be progressive. They always like to 193 00:15:56,879 --> 00:16:02,240 say that black people who are not a part of the Republican Party or somehow 194 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:07,039 on the plantation of the Democratic Party. Well, this is really plantation slave 195 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:11,200 master behavior coming from run to Santis, he is refusing to acknowledge that there 196 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:17,960 are high ranking Republicans and his party, black Republicans and his party who absolutely 197 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,720 take issue with every bit of this language about there being a benefit to black 198 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:27,559 people from slavery. Yet he regularly goes and says, you know, I 199 00:16:27,679 --> 00:16:30,600 have a black friend who still supports me. Well, sure, I'm sure 200 00:16:30,639 --> 00:16:33,840 you're going to get Candice Owes to support you as well. Right, but 201 00:16:33,879 --> 00:16:38,960 at least that there are there are black Conservatives with enough integrity, enough soul 202 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:44,480 in their blackness to stand up to you, even at the risk of their 203 00:16:44,519 --> 00:16:48,399 careers. Now, I might regret this in the next you know, next 204 00:16:48,399 --> 00:16:51,519 week, because they're gonna say something that I'm gonna have to slam them all 205 00:16:51,559 --> 00:16:53,320 there. I know Byron Donald's is going to say something. He's going to 206 00:16:53,399 --> 00:16:56,360 come out supporting Donald Trump. They're going to come out with some of their 207 00:16:56,519 --> 00:17:00,919 their anti VAXX messaging, They're come out with some of their anti science, 208 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:06,960 anti climate change, anti trans talking points. So I'm sure I'm going to 209 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,000 regret this next week. But as it stands right now, they are on 210 00:17:11,079 --> 00:17:15,200 the right side of this, and Rhonda Santis and his campaign think that they 211 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:19,759 are big enough to tell black Republicans to get in line. Now. I 212 00:17:19,759 --> 00:17:23,640 want to play one last clip on this story because I think this individual, 213 00:17:25,519 --> 00:17:30,839 Gazelle Clark, she's a black Conservative and I'm God, I hope I don't 214 00:17:30,839 --> 00:17:34,359 regret playing this next week because I've seen her on Fox News attacking wokeness. 215 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:40,400 Okay, yes, but a broken clock can be right, and this clip 216 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,359 that I'm going to play for you, I think is absolutely sound. The 217 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:52,000 comparison is apt. You do not get to flex any skills that were learned 218 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:57,200 from trauma trigger warning. This clip contains references to sexual assault. So I've 219 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:03,640 been thinking about this whole floor, the education standards thing. You know, 220 00:18:03,279 --> 00:18:11,160 if you were sexually assaulted as a minor repeatedly for your years and years and 221 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:21,039 years, and then you claim that your sexual assault made you a better lover. 222 00:18:22,599 --> 00:18:30,519 It would mortify people. That's why it's mortifying to hear people say that 223 00:18:30,599 --> 00:18:41,440 you benefit from slavery in any way, because learned things from trauma is not 224 00:18:41,559 --> 00:18:45,960 a flex. It just ain't. It's not. That's that on that. 225 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,079 And while I was really hesitant about playing this particular clip because of the comparison 226 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:55,279 to sexual assault, truth of the matter is sexual assault was a feature of 227 00:18:55,359 --> 00:19:00,920 chattel slavery. It was a standardized feature of slavey in this country, and 228 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,359 so I think the comparison is apt. Even if it is difficult to hear 229 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:11,839 anyone suggesting that there is a benefit that should be derived out of a sustained 230 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,880 trauma should be ashamed of themselves, and Rhonda Santis and his entire campaign should 231 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:22,279 be equally ashamed of themselves for attacking these black conservatives for standing up for truth. 232 00:19:52,759 --> 00:20:00,599 Welcome back to the Benjamin Dixon Show.

It's for grown folks, you know what I 242 00:20:48,319 --> 00:20:51,440 mean. It's not something for young kids and whipper snappers. That's how you 243 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:56,400 know how old I am whipper snappers. But I digress. I want to 244 00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:02,039 play a clip of Representative Nancy Mace, who it's being called out by so 245 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:08,000 many Republicans and conservatives this morning because of her unfortunate too much information moment that 246 00:21:08,079 --> 00:21:11,759 took place at a prayer breakfast and it honestly could not have happened at the 247 00:21:11,799 --> 00:21:15,000 worst place. I'm not defending her. He's a conservative, so I have 248 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,160 very little reason to defend her. But I want to play the clip. 249 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,839 I want you to hear it, and then I want to discuss the kind 250 00:21:21,839 --> 00:21:26,920 of backlatch that she's getting from a bunch of conservative men this morning. And 251 00:21:26,079 --> 00:21:30,480 when I woke up this morning at seven, I was getting picked up at 252 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,759 seven forty five. Patrick, my fiance tried to pull me by my waist 253 00:21:34,039 --> 00:21:36,880 over this morning in bed, and I was like, no, baby, 254 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,319 we don't got time for that this morning. I gotta get into the prayer 255 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:44,359 breakfast and I got to be on time, and a little t am I, 256 00:21:44,759 --> 00:21:48,240 but I know he can wait, he's got we got I'll see him 257 00:21:48,279 --> 00:21:55,200 later tonight. But I was here generally speaking, all rules of decorum have 258 00:21:55,319 --> 00:21:59,160 been thrown out. Let me let me start by my discussion there like that 259 00:21:59,319 --> 00:22:03,559 is way too information, especially at a prayer breakfast, Like come on, 260 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:10,559 you have to know better. But what I think Nancy Mace doesn't realize is 261 00:22:10,599 --> 00:22:15,400 that she is in a party who will target her the way they are targeting 262 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,559 her this morning, calling her out, calling her a fake Christian, you 263 00:22:18,559 --> 00:22:23,559 know, calling her a sinner, calling her all these things really just outright. 264 00:22:25,599 --> 00:22:30,599 I mean, giving her scarlet letter a you know this, this is 265 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:36,039 the this is the reaction that you are getting from overwhelmingly conservative men. And 266 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:40,440 of course you're going to always have some women, conservative women who are willing 267 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,160 to do the bidding of the patriarchy, just like you have some black conservatives 268 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,880 who are willing to do the bidding of white supremacy, because that's you know, 269 00:22:48,039 --> 00:22:51,039 that's just the way of the world that we live in right now. 270 00:22:51,599 --> 00:22:56,920 But I hope, I hope, for the sake of the future that more 271 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:06,559 women can see the clear hipcricy of having men who are one hundred percent participants 272 00:23:07,039 --> 00:23:14,519 in every bit of sin, every bit of debauchery, every sexual assault case, 273 00:23:14,599 --> 00:23:19,720 every case of children being molested, whether they're molested by priests in the 274 00:23:19,799 --> 00:23:26,000 church, whether they're molested by school teachers, whether they are overwhelmingly men. 275 00:23:27,559 --> 00:23:33,519 The ninety nine point nine percent of them are men, and they are some 276 00:23:33,559 --> 00:23:37,799 of the same men who are trying to lecture Nancy Masis morning, the same 277 00:23:37,799 --> 00:23:41,279 men who are voting against women's rights, the same men who are trying to 278 00:23:41,319 --> 00:23:45,680 control women's bodies, the same men who are trying to usher in this new 279 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:52,440 Puritan era where they get to pretend as though they are religiously devout and pious 280 00:23:52,519 --> 00:23:56,160 and they live. I mean, you even have Andrew Tate. Let me 281 00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:00,519 just give you the extreme of what's happening right now. And Drew Tate, 282 00:24:00,559 --> 00:24:06,640 who is currently under arrest in Romania for sex trafficking charges for rape and sex 283 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:11,240 trafficking charges. His new position and his new rebrand. He's now an anti 284 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:18,759 degenerate. He's now actively condemning any any sex workers, anyone who any woman 285 00:24:18,839 --> 00:24:22,000 who is showing parts of her body that he doesn't approve of. You know, 286 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:26,880 he's really trying to take this position of women should be more modest. 287 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:32,039 What about the women that you sexually assaulted? My guy, where if are 288 00:24:32,039 --> 00:24:34,640 you saying that if they had been more modest you would not have sexually assaulted 289 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,640 them or sexually trafficked them. You know, you have people like Sneako, 290 00:24:38,799 --> 00:24:45,160 this, this influencer guy who is all over the place now condemning black culture. 291 00:24:45,519 --> 00:24:51,160 Right, you have him who he is condemning all of the degenerate behavior 292 00:24:51,279 --> 00:24:56,279 from women. Meanwhile, he's got porns out there that he's starred in where 293 00:24:56,319 --> 00:25:00,000 he allowed his woman to have sex with someone else while he watched. Just 294 00:25:00,279 --> 00:25:07,759 just google the Sneako chairs n e a Ko chair. He has a whole 295 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:14,400 he has a whole entry in the Urban Dictionary because of his debauchery. But 296 00:25:14,519 --> 00:25:18,720 they have now been able to rebrand themselves to be morally pious, and in 297 00:25:18,839 --> 00:25:25,720 these seats of righteous indignation, right they get to condemn women. And there's 298 00:25:25,759 --> 00:25:30,920 a fascinating thing that happens in this country where men who commit the acts of 299 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,480 debauchery get to turn around and now become men who condemn the very acts of 300 00:25:34,519 --> 00:25:41,599 debauchery that they participated in. Mind you that they sponsored, that they flew 301 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,559 all the women out to their yachts to have this, these nights of debauchery. 302 00:25:45,599 --> 00:25:48,839 But now now that they're tired of this branding, or this branding has 303 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:53,519 become inconvenient for them because they're facing sex charges, sexual assault charges. Now 304 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,519 they've turned and started to lecture women and tell them to how they should dress, 305 00:25:57,559 --> 00:26:02,279 and they're condemning the likes of Nancy mase Well. I hope Nancy Mason 306 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:06,960 other Republican women realize before it's too late, before they wake up in the 307 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:40,000 Republic of Gilead. Under his eye, the state of Texas, the Houston 308 00:26:40,039 --> 00:26:45,720 Independent School District, they're moving away from the prison to school to prison pipeline 309 00:26:45,759 --> 00:26:49,359 and going straight to the prison they have decided in the state of Texas, 310 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:56,960 Houston Houston Independent School District, they are eliminating librarians at twenty eight school districts 311 00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:03,599 and they are turning the libraries into discipline centers where children with bad behavior will 312 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:10,000 be sent to be locked down throughout the day. This is yet another step 313 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:17,400 towards the destruction of our public school systems, towards the vilification that it is 314 00:27:17,559 --> 00:27:22,319 necessary to treat our children even more like prisoners than they're already being treated. 315 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:29,119 It's not as though these schools are necessarily great places for our students to thrive 316 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:33,319 and be happy, but that's not enough for Houston. They are deciding to 317 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:37,640 do away with their libraries, firing the librarians, and they're going to use 318 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:42,640 those facilities to discipline children with bad behavior. And I guarantee you that the 319 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,920 students who are going to be targeted the most, just like in any other 320 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,640 scenario we see across this country, it's going to be three groups. It's 321 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:55,720 going to be black children, impoverished children, and children with mental health needs. 322 00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:00,279 That is always a case in this country when we see the vilification of 323 00:28:00,519 --> 00:28:03,960 poverty, we see the vilification of blackness, and we see the vilification, 324 00:28:03,039 --> 00:28:08,279 the criminalization of people with mental health issues. We know that it also applies 325 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:12,480 to our children, and so as the State of Texas Governor Greg Abbott as 326 00:28:12,519 --> 00:28:18,920 they embark on all of their draconian and downright fascist policies. This is just 327 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:22,839 another part. This is just another piece in the puzzle that they are trying 328 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:29,200 to assemble all across this country that is going to be nothing more than a 329 00:28:29,319 --> 00:28:33,200 theocratic, fascist police state. We think there's a lot. There's some of 330 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:37,920 my comrades who you know, former comrades, because you know, they don't 331 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:42,279 really consider me a comrade anymore. But that's their problem. They think that 332 00:28:42,319 --> 00:28:48,440 America is so bad now, you know, bad enough for them for some 333 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:53,680 of them to be supportive of Vladimir Putin and supportive of an accelerationist mentality of 334 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:59,279 burning this country to the ground and hoping that something will emerge from the ashes. 335 00:28:59,559 --> 00:29:03,519 You know, they do. They take that position because they think America 336 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,640 is so bad now. The sick and sad irony of it is is that 337 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:12,480 if we allow the Republicans to gain any more power, in fact, if 338 00:29:12,519 --> 00:29:18,279 we not only don't hold the line here but push these fascists back into the 339 00:29:18,359 --> 00:29:22,720 dregs of society. We are going to see in short order exactly how bad 340 00:29:22,799 --> 00:29:30,039 this place can really become. This is not hyperbole. Every indicator that we 341 00:29:30,079 --> 00:29:36,720 are seeing across this country suggests that we are quickly moving into an era of 342 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:42,039 a complete and total theocratic fascist state under the control of Christian nationalism. So 343 00:29:42,759 --> 00:29:48,119 we cannot look at what's happening with Moms for Liberty as they attack the school 344 00:29:48,119 --> 00:29:53,680 boards all across this country, as they remove school board superintendents, particularly black 345 00:29:53,720 --> 00:30:00,799 superintendence all over this country, as they start installing puppets that support the agenda 346 00:30:00,839 --> 00:30:03,680 of people like Rhonda Santist, like that's the agenda that's happening all around this 347 00:30:03,799 --> 00:30:08,000 country. We cannot look at the reality of what's happening and sit back and 348 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:14,519 believe that things will get better if we first allow them to get worse. 349 00:30:15,319 --> 00:30:18,319 That is completely absurd.
