I've said this since 2015. I know for certain that Black organizers have said this since then as well.

In fact, former Black, Sanders staffers said this while working on the campaign in 2016. Bernie has both the ability to authentically connect with Black voters of all backgrounds, but he isn't connecting with Black voters of all backgrounds.

Yes, he does well with Black millennials and Black Zoomers. But he needs to connect with Generation X, Boomers, the Black church and the politically apathetic. He certainly has the authenticity to do so. Will he? That was the question of 2016.

Let's discuss.... again.

Episode 744 | Evangelist Paula White made her entire career on the back of the Black church. Now, she's serving as spiritual cover for Donald Trump -- at the expense of the Black church.

Special guest, Adriel Hampton, discusses his primetime clash with Facebook over false political advertising and how he is challenging them head-on.

Voicemails!

Joe Manchin is a turncoat, backstabbing Judas who said he'd would NOT vote for Bernie Sanders if its Sanders versus Trump. Let's discuss.

Barack Obama speaks about "wokeness" and basically civility. He's mostly wrong. Let's discuss.

Finally, the vote for the impeachment inquiry took place today. Two Democrats voted against it. Time to get these JUDASES out of the paint.

Bernie is up in the polls. He's pulling 1% from Joe Biden while Tulsi Gabbard is now at 5% and pulling that from Biden's 9% drop. Let's discuss.

Also, Kirk Franklin is a gospel artist who has decided to boycott a Christian awards show and television network. Here's the thing -- the problems he's calling out have been there all along.

Let's discuss!

Bernie answered a difficult question over the weekend. Here's why his answer was both correct and insufficient.

Donald Trump managed to get Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and BOOED on the same day.

Finally, Kanye West is the lastest false-prophet of White Supremacy sent to the Black community to keep us focused on the hereafter while they collect checks in the here-and-now.

Episode 740 |

Facebook will begin curating news articles from "trusted" publishers including The New York Times, LA Times, and... {checks notes}...Breitbart??? Let's discuss how we need to operate under the notion that Zuckerberg is just a conservative tech-bro who is fine with White, male supremacy because... BREITBART is a TRUSTED source??!?

Tulsi Gabbard went on Fox News and pandered Donald Trump's talking points helping to insulate him from impeachment. Time to call a spade a spade -- and Tulsi Gabbard is a conservative in "progressive" clothes.

Finally, four voicemails covering a wide variety of topics including "what you would do if you had Medicare for All."

Episode 739

Folks -- I've got to call a spade a spade: Tulsi is increasing her grift and it is directly affecting the campaign of the one candidate running on a progressive platform -- Sanders.

The New York Times has corrected its original reporting claiming Clinton called Tulsi a "Russian Asset." I've got the audio that shows this is not what Clinton said.

More importantly than that, I need everyone to see how easily Tulsi and her Republican supporters are using everyone's hatred of Hillary Clinton to siphon off just enough percentage to swing this election to someone like Mayo Pete in the primaries and to Donald Trump in the general election.
So let's call a spade a spade and crush this narrative with alacrity.

Finally, Mayor Pete. Please.

Episode 737 |

There was never a moment that I doubted whether AOC was going to endorse Bernie Sanders. Let's discuss!

Let me be clear: Tusli is cannibalizing Bernie support. Period.

Finally, let's talk about the practical steps we need to take for victory.

Special edition. I couldn't wait until Monday to chime in. A lot of thoughts. I hope you have time over the weekend to digest and to respond.

Have a blessed weekend.
