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.
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.
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.
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.
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. Bob Mueller testifies before Congress that Trump would be indicted if not President. Trump's white grievance is the source of violence and threats across the country. Let's discuss.
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.
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 conservati...
Go become a patron for bonus content! www.patreon.com/thebpdshow 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 ...
Bernie Sanders one-upped Elizabeth Warren and has called for the complete cancellation of $1.6 Trillion in student debt. In this episode, I break down the arguments against this plan and give you a socialist and capitalistic argument for this plan. Go become a patron today! www.Patreon.com/thebpdshow
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.
Patron's bonus episodes daily at Patreon.com/TheBpDShow Today's podcast covers Harvard University's decision to rescind Parkland shooting survivor, Kyle Kashuv's, acceptance over his N-Word tirade. Of course, the Right thinks this is a disaster for free speech. Trump needs a war with Iran. Full discussion available on Patreon.com/thebpdshow Finally, it seems like every summer there is an intra-Left argument over class and race -- or more specifically, class versus Identity. Let's dig in once aga...
20-year-old Brandon Webber was gunned down by authorities in Memphis Tenessee. The people have taken to the streets to express their righteous indignation. Democrats are terrified of socialism. Let's talk about what the REALLY means. And, Bernie Sanders is pushing a new phrase to describe Capitalism: Corporate Socialism. I mean, I get it. But here's why he shouldn't do this.

No matter how much conservatives attack the LGBTQ community during Pride month, you have EVERY REASON TO BE PROUD.
Decided that I'd do an episode on my birthday because --- well, that's just what I do. The best that I can give you today is the many lessons I learned just between June 2018 and today. People, family, life, and situations will try to break you and your confidence. Don't let em.
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.
Be sure to check out the behind the scenes look at the new format of the show available to Patrons only later this evening. Video is coming! Professor Matt Sienkiewicz fills in again today and brought an entire show of guests including Josh Moss, Max Thunder, and Murtaza Hussain of the Intercept.
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.

This week I filled in for David Pakman. So Professor Matt Sienkiewicz fills in along with Max Inhoff. Lots of laughs in this one. They cover the UK Milkshaking controversy, Trump v Tillerson, and the Krassentsein Brothers are banned.
White supremacy has always had the ability to evolve. Listen to today's episode with Professor Matt Sienkiewicz as we discuss collaborators Ben Shapiro and Candace Owens as we try to unpack the motivation to work with groups who historically would rather oppress you than to work with you.
Episode 676 | Rapper Nipsey Hussle killed and the debate over his legacy. Why people need to stop defending Joe Biden from his creeper past. And the Incel movement is growing: why this is both terrifying and hilarious.
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. Let's discuss.
Bernies back.
It's been a long... I shouldn't have left you...without a dope podcast to step to
Part 3
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 ...
This conversation with @MediaStudied got real! Matt is a good friend of mine and I hate to see him this upset, but it's for good reason. Imagine someone who thought your loved ones were going to burn in hell was sent to comfort you? Imagine if Candace Owens was sent to comfort the families of Mother Emanuel AME. Listen in.
