Dig on America

Kathy Zhu is the new darling of the right!  As usual another B lister looking to become an A lister by using identity politics and tying that into their conservative belief system.  Will she become the next Candace Owens?  In other news the gang is joined by Tony "The Jock" from Jock and Nerd podcast to talk about how Amazon's The Boys juxtaposes with some of today's political and social issues including how power corrupts, is protected and how society in turn is both dependent on and influences the actions of the powerful.
Also the guys talk about the death of former Bear Cedric Benson in a motorcycle accident, How terrible is the Netflix series "Another Life"? BH90210 is back, does anyone care? Mario Lopez apologizes for some comments, and the VFU team takes a surprising stance on transgender traits in the very young, and Jay Z celebrates the 3 year anniversary of the first Colin Kaepernick protest by saying "we're past kneeling" - how does the gang react? We even get into the new common core math and why schools are beginning to try new ideas like Transitional Kindergarten. 
Last but not least Hass reviews an Acid Toast infused cigar and pairs it with an old classic, 50/50 soda. (https://www.famous-smoke.com/acid-toast-cigars/item-34974)

What is Dig on America?

Every week we introduce you to an event in American History, policy, and media, then discuss how that historical event impacts the socio-political issues America faces today. We give you The Dig on US History and offer political commentary and opinion, as well as discussion of current news from Progressive perspectives.

DoA is an apparent propaganda arm of The Deep State. Probably financed in some way by George Soros, The Clinton Foundation, Jay-Z, maybe even Joe Rogan.

Get the Dig with Big Hass, Dutch, Attorney Anna and Mikey as we explore current events in the good ol' USA, with a few pop-culture sprinkles along the way. We interview great guests covering all sides of tough topics from policy to systemic racism to the social messages in film and sports, as well as constitutional issues protected within the Bill of Rights and the history of injustice in America, no matter who's fault it is. You might even get a little smoke in your eye!

When you don't know your history, you're doomed to repeat it. Facts don't care about your feelings, right? Criticizing America when she is wrong does not mean you hate America, it means you love her enough to want her to be better.

Join us weekly and check out the live stream on YouTube and Twitch. Find the youtube at www.youtube.com/DigOnAmerica or Follow us on Twitter @DigOnAmerica or online at www.DigOnAmerica.com

This Independent Podcast is brought to you by Big Heads Media. A new home for Progressive Values!
