Art That's why I'm running for reelection because I know America. I know we're
good at decent people. I know we're still a country that believes in honesty
and respect and treating each other with dignity, that we're a nation where we
give hate no safe harvor. We believe that everyone is equal, that everyone
should be given a fair shot to succeed this country. Every generation Americas that
faced the moment when they have to defend democracy, stand up for our personal
freedom, stand up for the right to vote, in our civil rights.
And this is our moment. That is, of course, the voice of
President Joe Biden announcing early this morning with a six am release of the video
that you just heard, of the audio that you just heard, announcing that
he is indeed running for president again in twenty twenty four. This is despite
fifty one percent of Democrats in a new poll saying that they do not want
Joe Biden to run again. And that's despite the fact that seventy percent of
Americans, including some Republicans who are never going to support him, who are
stating that they don't want him to run again. Sixty percent of Americans are
stating that they do not want Donald Trump to run again. And in both
cases, well, in the case of Joe Biden, at least they are
citing his age, and for the case of Donald Trump, they're in citing
his indictments. So the cases are uniquely different, even though they're very close
in age. I do have a question for that fifty one percent of Democrats.
Did you not know how old he was in twenty twenty and did you
not do the math and knowing that electing a man as old as he was
in twenty twenty, that if he were to even make it to a second
term, that he would be around eighty six years old at the end of
his second term. This is not to be agist, but let's just be
real. If you're citing age as a concern. Now, he was on
the same trajectory when we were telling you to vote for somebody else in the
primaries of twenty twenty. Now, when it came down to the general election,
we did what we had to do. I supported the man, I
voted for him. And yeah, if he runs again, I'm going to
vote for him again. You know why, because on the other side of
the equation, we are dealing with theocratic fascists. We're dealing with white supremacy,
We're dealing with Nazis, we are dealing with insurrectionist, treasonist traders to
be redundant who seek to overthrow the United States of America on behalf of white
supremacy and white grievance. So yeah, if you ask me what time it
is, it's time for people to honestly know the score, right, I
understand the lay of the land. We simply cannot afford to allow candidates like
Robert Kennedy Junior to sandbag the entirety of our ability to simply hold the line,
because that's all. I had an expectation of Joe Biden. In fact,
I have it on the record. You can go back to several episodes.
My expectation of Joe Biden as president was two things. He let me
down on one, but the other one was just don't be a fascist,
you know it was it was help us get out of the pandemic, which
he didn't do. I'm sorry, Like, let's just keep it one hundred.
We're still in the pandemic. We're just pretending like it's gone. And
that has come underneath the watch of Joe Biden. I get it. The
CDC and all the powers that be realized they're dealing with an ungovernable body of
people who are more concerned about their conspiracy theories. They're more concerned about their
ability to not wear a mask than they are concerned with their own personal health,
and they're certainly not concerned about public health. So I get it.
The CDC and the Joe Biden administration just through in the towel. I'm sorry.
That's a complete and abject failure to me. But you know what would
have been underneath Donald Trump? Could it have been worse? Yeah, you
know, because Donald Trump is Donald Trump. I'm sure they would have found
a way to make it even worse than it already is. But I still
mark that in the category of a complete and total failure of the Biden administration.
When it comes to COVID nineteen, the other expectation that I had of
him, He's doing an okay job at He's not a fascist. He is
not a Donald Trump RHNDA Santists level of fascist. That is certainly trying to
move this country into the arms of a new global world order, a right
wing reactionary order in the lines of Ladimir Putin, Victor Orban and the rest
of this global cabal that is seeking to revoke the entirety of modernity and to
end the liberal democratic experiment altogether. At least we got one. I got
one out of the two things that I wanted out of the president, just
don't be a fascist. And here we are coming up to twenty twenty four
and the people who actually believed in Joe Biden. Sorry if I don't sound
like i'm if I'm not convincing you that I like Joe Biden enough, or
if I'm making you think that I like Joe Biden too much, don't really
care this morning. All I know is that when we have to choose in
twenty twenty four, we cannot afford to allow a Rhonda Santist or a Donald
Trump to get into power. It's just that simple, because there's too much
on the line. Later on in today's episode, I'm going to be going
over the target, the new target of the group Moms for Liberty, which
is doing the beckoning call of Rhonda Santists, and they are targeting school board
superintendents all over the country. Right now, they're targeting a black superintendent in
the state of Florida in Jacksonville, Florida, and they're targeting her for removal.
And you know what, this is the strategy that is being employed all
over the country because the people we are fighting against, these right wing reactionaries,
these theocratic fascists, who are more concerned with banning books about black history,
about being gay or lgbt qia. They're more concerned with that because they
want to control the religion and the spirituality and just the life of every single
person on this planet. That is their static goal with trying to force the
quote unquote Kingdom of God on everyone. And that's just one arm of this
three headed monster that is the global right wing reactionary movement, the theocratic fascists.
We aren't even we haven't even delved over into the right wing reactionaries in
this particular conversation. Right, So, these are the people that we are
standing against. And I'm sorry, America, you chose Joe Biden to be
the defender against this group in twenty twenty, and now he's choosing his prerogatives
to run again. He has the right to run again. He has the
control. He's the leader of the Democratic Party. The DNC is not going
to allow any primary debates in the build up to twenty twenty four. And
honestly, with the likes of Robert Kennedy Junior being there, why would they
Why would they allow someone like Robert Kennedy Junior who is spending the majority of
yesterday, who have spent rather the majority of yesterday lamenting and mourning over the
loss of Tucker Carlson at Fox News. We'll talk about that in a minute.
That's neither here nor there for this conversation. What matters is that we
have people who are committed to ensuring that the right wing reactionaries win. Robert
Kennedy Junior is one of those individuals, and he expects to be able to
give be given a platform to undermine our collective fight against fascism. That's again,
there's quite a bit of ambivalence in my heart regarding Joe Biden because he's
only one for two for me. I mean, in terms of the plaque
community. Where are we on the George Floyd Justice Act? Where are we
in terms of that, where are we in terms of protecting the voting right
there? I mean, there's gonna be a lot of black folks who can't
even vote for Joe Biden because you know, they couldn't over rule, they
couldn't whip Joe Manchin and Kirsten Cinemato into into line. So there's a lot
to criticize Joe Biden over ferociously. But I'm sorry, guys, gals,
non gender conforming friends, when we are in the fight for our lives,
just simply for democracy, just a modern coum of democracy, not even not
even a real full fledged democracy where all people are created cool and treat it
equally underneath the law right that we don't have that what we do have is
a fighting chance because we held the line in twenty twenty and now it seems
like quite a few people are saying, let's just roll the dice in twenty
twenty four. Okay, welcome back. Word has just come down that Fox
News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways. Thank you for a
service to the lot working hust A Fire contributor. Ways. You know,
we'll talk more about it tomorrow because but we wanted to make sure that we
let you know what was going well. Can I can I ask the audience
if they will help me do something? Come on folks, NA yeah,
I you know. That was Anna Navarro with then Hey Hey, and then
of course Whippi Goldberg, both of the view when the news dropped yesterday morning,
it was just after the podcast was released that that's the one thing about
being you know, the early bird, uh in this podcasting game, is
the news hit sometimes immediately after I pushed publish, and immediately after I pushed
publish yesterday, Tucker Carlson was fired from Fox News summer citing the seven hundred
and eighty seven dollars million dollars I'm sorry um settlement with dominion voting systems as
calls. But there seems to be more information coming out that it has to
deal with more allegations against Tucker Carlson for inappropriate behavior. And we'll get more
information on that as that comes out. But as it stands right now,
Tucker Carlson is out at Fox News, and conservatives are you know, losing
it. They are they are unsubscribing from Fox News as their you know,
digital subscriptions, and they're deleting the apps from their phone. They're calling this
to be the butter Light moment for Fox News because I guess conservatives really believe
they did something to hurt but Light. Okay, anyway, I digress.
The point is is that we do have calls to celebrate because the chief propagandist
for white supremacy has been removed. Now, he has not gone away.
He is still going to be on the national stage. He is still going
to be doing the bidding of white supremacy. You know, that's who he
is. And just to put a fine point on it, here's John Oliver
from this Week Today or whatever the show is called, outlining exactly how much
white supremacists and Nazis leaned on the coverage of Tucker Carlson Listening. For the
record, white supremacists themselves seem to be big fans of what Tucker has been
doing. Just as to Derek Black, a former white supremacist whose father started
Stormfront, the largest oldest white supremacist site on the Internet, talk about just
how much his family likes Tucker's show. My family watches Tucker Carlson Show once
and then watches it on the replay because they feel that he is making the
white nationalists talking points better than they have and they're trying to get some tips
on how to how to advance it. Yeah, they watch it, wants
to enjoy it, and a second time to learn from it. Of course,
Tucker has been endorsed by white supremacists. James also, a far right
activist who marched in Charlottesville. Won't said this to a conference room full of
fellow white supremacists. An example of someone engaging in very effective rhetoric is,
of course, Tucker Carlson. Tucker is helping mainstream conservatives change the way they
think about politics and causing a massive swath of Trump voters to look deeper into
many of the issues that we already talk about. Last year, when endorsing
Trump for president, Duke even suggested that Tucker Carlson should be his VP,
explaining Tucker's value to the white supremacist cause like this, He doesn't use the
word white very often, but that's the underlying message that he's showing, and
he shows that there is massive racism in Americans white people, while at the
same time saying there's no systematic racism, but people get the message. Yeah,
people do get the message. Yeah, by period that has been the
breath and the depth of Tucker Carlson's coverage. He simply puts a nice cosmopolitics
and prep boy, you know Manhattan the near on top of what is a
very rapidly racist white supremacist ideology. And don't get it twisted. White supremacy
has always manifested itself in that form with a suit in a tie. The
most dangerous form of white supremacy comes in a suit and tie, as evidenced
by Tucker Carlson and by so many politicians in this country. There are a
lot of people who are losing their minds today. But the Schottenfreuder is just
really delicious. And here's a clip from The Daily Show last night. It's
very short, but when you consider the unparalleled attack against the lgbt QIA community
that Tucker Carlson himself has also led the front owner, Wow, I can't
believe that a network that's so opposed to gender affirming surgery just cut off their
own deck. I had to drop that one. Yeah, congratulations, Fox
News. Fox News is going to suffer because of this again because conservatives are
having a total meltdown there Comparing this to the bud Light moment. They firmly
believe that Fox News is going to implode because of this, and that would
be great news. Please Conservatives, if it wasn't good enough for us to
get rid of Tucker Carlson, if you could do us the added bonus of
helping us get rid of Fox News too. God bless you. I mean,
I prayed that my thoughts and prayers are with you, like may the
universe assist you in destroying Fox News because they got rid of Tucker Carlson.

Dixon Show. Visit us online at the Benjamin Dixon Show dot com. Welcome
back, Welcome back. Yesterday. Yesterday we covered Moms for Liberty, who
had a glowing profile on CBS This Morning or CBS Sunday Morning in And to
be fair to CBS This Sunday, whatever the show is, it wasn't a
profile. They did have some dissenting voices on there. But one thing you
know about America and American media is that these groups don't care if opposition exists.
They only care if you give them the promotion that they need to be
seen all over the country. And so Moms for Liberty, which is to
me, a fascistic group of white women who are weaponizing their white womanhood and
their white womanhood tears against not only the LGBTQIA community, but black folks.
They are targeting the black community. I want to be sure. The same
folks who are trying to ban LGBTQIA even conversations, right, they can't even
talk about it in the state of Florida in schools, right. They're the
same folks who are banning African American history, folks who are trying to ban
so called critical race theory that doesn't exist in grade school. They are masters
of creating monsters that don't exist and then getting people fired because of the monster
that they created. We saw this happen in South Carolina Berkeley County school District,
where Moms for Liberty had endorsed candidates who ran for the school board.
They won, and as soon as they got the majority, they immediately fired
the first black superintendent in the history of that country, of that county.
So this is their agenda. They are doing the bidding of conservatives all across
the country. In Florida, they are doing the bidding of Runda Santists,
and they have assisted in the firing of multiple superintendents. Their newest target is
Diane Green, the superintendent in Duval County schools. The black woman extremely successful.
They're in the county, and she is being targeted not only by the
state runda santists, She's being targeted by Moms for Liberty. Their agenda across
this country has been to weaponize their white woman tears to forward the conservative agenda,
which is to deny any historical reality about racism, any modern conversations about
racism and white supremacy. You could just forget it. And then they always
lump in their transphobia and their homophobia to boot, and so it is always
a one two punch with Moms for Liberty alone with the conservative movement. There
is no question in my mind if I look at what's happening in Duval County
with the targeting of doctor Diane Green, and from my understanding she is She
was rather the superintendent of the year in the state of Florida and in the
top ten of superintendents to finish as the superintendent of the year for the entire
nation. As I taught dropout prevention in Duval County, I learned how difficult,
how how really hard it was to get a successful graduation rate. She
managed to get it up to ninety one in Duval, and as someone who
you know was into trenches in Duval, that is an astounding accomplishment, and
yet she has been targeted to be fired. There are a lot of layers
to this story and a lot more information that I want to give to you
about it, but I want to make sure that we find and target the
people who are doing the targeting of all of these black superintendents around the country.
Right it's are pastime for us to stop being on the receiving end of
a highly coordinated conservative agenda which is in lockstep with reactionaries across this country and
across this globe. We are underneath a systematic attack that is happening at every
single level, and it's important for us to understand how it's happening on the
local level, particularly at the school board meetings. These are the same people
who insisted on ensuring that students would not be able to wear masks to school
and that teachers would not be able to wear masks to school. These are
the same people aligned with Rhonda Santists who sat there and told children in a
press conference that they didn't need their mask in the middle of a pandemic.
And so we understand their agenda has been it has coalesced around several several pillars,
and it's including history denial. Right. They will not allow people to
discuss the responsibility of this country for what they did to black people historically.
They just don't want that in school ap African American history has been banned in
the state of Florida, teaching of critical race theory, which never really was
taught. That's the boogeyman has been used as a boogeyman all across the country
to get rid of superintendents, and now they're targeting what this would be their
tenth This would be their tenth superintendent in the state of Florida that they have
gotten rid of. And folks, when you weaken the school boards, right,
this is your weakening, and you're putting in power people who are going
to undermine teacher unions, people who are going to undermine your students clearly,
and people who have a political agenda that is not remotely aligned with your best
interests. But they are highly coordinated and they are very active, as evidenced
by the interviews that we covered yesterday from CBS This Morning or CBS Sunday Morning.
And just to give you a little bit more back guy, I'll talk
about it more in the Patron's Only episode more of the details. Apparently the
method that they're using to attempt to oust doctor Green, the black, super
successful, super successful superintendent of Duval Schools. She's being targeted because of a
long time teacher who had been allowed to just fester at a school with complaints
of sexual harassment against children, was finally identified and fired by doctor Green's administration.
No, you heard that right. A teacher who had been sexually harassing
and eventually it looks like it turn into sexual assault, had been getting away
with it in Duval County for years, and once doctor Green's administration came in,
he was identified, fired and arrested. But because their administration allegedly did
not report it to one picular reporting system. They reported it to DCF,
they reported it to the police, they reported to every the teacher was arrested
and fired underneath their administration. They are now saying that she is responsible because
she did not have it reported to a particular state reporting system. That's that's
yeah, I'm sorry, she's the one that fired him. I mean she
And as to who's supposed to do the reporting to this particular system, not
not to the Department of Children of Family Services, not to the police,
not to the school board, not to the school, not to the parents,
like all those things were done, but because one particular system in Ronda
Santis is the Department of Education the school board. Apparently or possibly, we
don't even know those details, right. This is just a letter of accusation
that came down to the school board. She's being targeted to be fired.
I'm sorry she got rid of the guy. Anyway, we'll talk more about
that in the Patron's Only episode Patreon dot Com forward Slash the BBPPD show.
But to me, this reeks of Moms for Liberty one because as of this
previous election, it looks like a Mom's for Liberty candidate was actually elected to
the school board there in Jacksonville. And we see the fingerprints the m O
the methodology of Floridian superintendence and black superintendence all across this country being targeted by
Mom's for Liberty for nothing, and in this case, for something that she
was responsible for handling, taking care of. She got rid of that teacher,
but apparently that's not enough. Jacksonville is one of the cities that I
had the pleasure of organizing with pastors in throughout this last summer, and you
know, I have a lot of tie is there. So I am interested
in that story, and I'm interested in it not only because I was a
teacher there at one time, but I'm also interested in it because we must
fight back against these these groups that are highly funded, highly organized, and
they are executing the groundwork, the boots on the ground. They are the
ones who are going to school board meetings all across the country. They are
the ones who are making it impossible for us to get out of this pandemic
because they are specifically targeting from superintendents and school boards that tried to have mask
mandates. They are specifically targeting any school board that could remotely be seen as
quote unquote woke. And they are obviously doing the bidding of conservative reactionaries like
Rhonda Santis without question. So we'll keep our eye on that story alone with
them. Senator Cinema, what about one hundred thousand dollars premier campaign fund spent
on Limo's wine jests Today, We're talking about tragic violence that occurs throughout our
community. Guys, Let's keep the question soon we had. Over just the
past six months, the Senator has spent at least eighteen thousand dollars on chauffeurs
and luxury car services. She spent at least twenty two thou eight hundred dollars
on hotels. This includes five star hotels like the New York Edition and the
Rosewood sand Hill in California, where the rooms cost more than a thousand dollars
a night. At least thirty one thousand, nine hundred dollars on airfare.
According to Newsweek, Cinema is among the top spenders in the Senate on private
jets. There are also thousands of dollars in campaign expenditures at exclusive vineyards and
wineries and luxury resorts. We reached out to Senator Cinema's campaign for comment.
They said they have no comment on this. Of course, they have no
comment on it because they did it. Kirsten Cinema is by far one of
the worst Democrats in this country. That's saying a lot, because you still
are competing with people like Joe Manchon, who went on Fox News last night
to attack the Biden administration for their investments into the green economy, and as
it is attached to the Inflation Reduction Act. Here is Joe Manchion, a
so called Democrat. And again I don't really care about the titles so much
except for the fact that most of America cares. And here is your Democrat.
Here is the guy that people are saying, you got a vote for
him, vote blue, no matter who. Here's what, vote blew,
no matter who got you. Here he is on Sean Hannity last night,
Joe Mansion talking about voting and repealing his own Inflation Reduction Act, which he
used to hold this administration hostage in the first place. Let me make it
very clear, if this administration does not honor what it said it would do
and basically continue to liberalize that where three eighty four billion dollars is what we're
supposed to invest over ten years and they blow that out of the water and
it's six or seven or eight hundred, I will do everything I can in
my power to prevent that from happening. And if they don't change, then
I would vote to repeal my own bill. These two, Joe Mansion and
Kirsten Cinema, they have stood in the way of all progress over the last
three years. During the Joe Biden administration. Now, I'm well aware of
the controlled opposition. I'm well aware of the rotating villain theories that suggest that
these two have been propped up to make sure that nothing gets done right.
The best way for Democrats to not have to do anything for anyone is to
always have someone like Joe Manchin and Kirsten Cinema, much like Joe Lieberman,
remember him during the debates of twenty ten when we were trying to get the
Affordable Care Act pass. There's always a rotating villain, But in this case
it is so patently transparent and laughably hilarious that this is allowed to continue.
When the entire party apparatus is very effective at getting rid of progressives yet instill,
these two minions of the Republican Party are allowed to just stay and to
pretty much go unchallenged, except for some really vocal voices on the local level
that are doing their best to get rid of these two individuals. But if
you want to look at who is instrumental in ensuring that the Biden administration didn't
get anything done, here they are, and they're living in the spoils of
it. Kirson Cinema. You know not coming from wealth, now getting to
fly on private jets, now getting to stay at the nicest hotels across this
country. You know, it's just like this. She really believes she's living
out a romantic comedy and she's the star of the movie. Joe Mansion has
always been a coal baron. He has always been a person who's going to
do the bidding of the wealthy because he is wealthy. He has his maserati,
he has his yacht. Never would forget the protesters who rolled up to
him with rafts, makeshift rafts, and there he was lecturing them from the
balcony of his yacht. Who needs Republicans when you got democrats like Joe Mansion
and Kirson Cinema Patrons, stay tuned. Everyone else will see you tomorrow.
