Tonight we will speak with Dave the Prepper of Thando Radio Show about the continued spread of Corvid 19. Since yesterday afternoon, Corvid-19 cases confirmed by the CDC have jumped to over 600 cases, that a hundred more than reported yesterday.

During the second hour we will speak to journalist Jon Jeter about the Democratic primaries and how is it that Joe Biden is so popular with Black voters, boomers to be specific as Sanders continues to capture the Black youth vote. What happened in South Carolina? What happened on Super Tuesday and what will happen today after voting concludes? Is Sanders's reluctance to go "negative" on Joe Biden hurting his campaign since obviously voters seem to be rejecting any kind of sensible policy evaluation of the candidates.

Jon Jeter is a published book author and two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist with more than 20 years of journalistic experience. He is a former Washington Post bureau chief and award-winning foreign correspondent on two continents, as well as a former radio and television producer for Chicago Public Media’s “This American Life.” You can support Jeter's current journalistic endeavors via Patreon.

By Scotty T. Reid - As a person who took leadership classes while in the US Army (87-92), held positions that gave me power and responsibility way above my rank, I can say Elizabeth Warren does not exhibit leadership qualities but rather as she said herself, "just a player in the game".

As she drops out of the race where she portrayed herself as a progressive running in the progressive lane, a leader would not need time to decide whether or not to support the progressive Sanders or the Neoliberal Joe Biden who wrote the bills protecting credit card companies and preventing students from discharging debt in bankruptcy she was so adamantly opposed.

 

This wasn't the first clue of her lack of leadership qualities. How do you co-sponsor Sanders's Medicare For All bill, come out making it part of your platform and then crumble when pressed on how to pay for it and not being able to say simply, a payroll tax and you would actually save more than you spending now? Then to bail on it for a "public option". That isn't leadership.

 

To say just last week, Bernie has been trying to push these progressive policies for decades and he hasn't been able to do it. That is saying to those with an ear to hear, I am not a fighter, I will quit when everyone is against me even when I'm standing on principles and morals. That's not leadership.

 

Then the biggest sign she was not a leader was her over and over talking about getting money out of politics and pledging to never allow a Super Pac to operate on her behalf but when she doesn't attract the small-dollar donations, she flip-flops and accepts Super Pac help to stay in the race through Super Tuesday. That is not leadership.

 

While I'm glad she dropped out, probably could not get any more Super Pac help after another poor showing on Super Tuesday, she said, I'm staying in it to get delegates and take them to a contested convention. She just said that last week and now she is dropping out.

 

I know the media has programmed a lot of people to repeat the bullshit line that "I like Bernie's policies but his supporters are mean". Take this how you want to but I am going to speak my truths.

I saw a white woman today on Twitter say Bernie's supporters should study Dr. King's non-violent approach. First of all, Sander's supporters are not running around beating up people, getting into fights with Antifa and whatnot, secondly, MLK was trying to show, and he did, that white people can be so vicious and barbaric, they will sick dogs on young people, children, and turn fire hoses on them for challenging the status quo of Jim Crow. However, to say some bullshit like that to a base that is majority non-white, the children and grandchildren of those Black people she talking about is racist. What she is really saying is, why don't y'all be passive Negroes and lie down and say nothing when the media and other campaigns lie on Sanders and constantly talking crap about you, his supporters, in a gaslighting operation. If a white person can come close to understanding what it is like to be Black in America for millions, a white Sanders supporter should be able to identify.

I want to say, I can't believe Warren went on MSNBC's Rachel Maddow to whine about the push back she got online for lying and trying to make Bernie out to be sexists or any other self-inflicted wounds but I can totally believe it.

CoronaVirus (COVID-19)

On tonight's broadcast of BTR News w/ Scotty Reid, we will discuss the spread of CoronaVirus (COVID-19) in several states, the fight in Congress over funding to supply test kits, treat people and develop an affordable vaccine. Only in the profit-driven healthcare industry is this even an argument to be had and what will happen to those who don't have healthcare insurance which is in the millions. Capitalism is threatening to cull the US population-based on socio-economic factors which could be just what some people want or in the very least, make them not care. If poor elderly people who are most susceptible to dying from the virus, that means that's less social security checks the US government has to mail out.

White Moderates & Negroes In The House For The Status Quo

Tonight we will also do a post-Super Tuesday analysis that will take a look at the curious outcomes as Joe Biden comes out of nowhere to be up 65 delegates in the race for the DNC nomination which according to a fraud lawsuit from 2016, the DNC as a private corporation can change its rules whenever it gets ready as it did with Bloomberg and more recently to keep Tulsi Gabbard from the debate stage while people like Hillary Clinton pontificate to Sanders about following the rules, as she once again has to answer questions about not following the rules on federal record-keeping laws.

Heading into Super Tuesday, national polls showed that Bernie Sanders had taken the lead over Joe Biden in support from Black voters but according to reports, Black voters, particularly Boomers in the South, voted overwhelmingly for Biden.

I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection. -
