Dig on America

Dutch and Hass discuss racism and bias on the podcast where politics and pop culture collide! This week we talk, and disagree, about whether Michael Brown and Travon Martin should be talked about in the same breath as Philando Castille, Eric Garner, Sandra Bland and others. Dutch has a conversation with a most likely racist woman at a bar, while Hass defends a white woman on Facebook. 
In the news, a man body-slams a young boy for not removing his hat during the National Anthem, then says Trump told him to do it and thousands are stranded in the Hong Kong airport.  On the lighter side of things, the duo talk about some of the advantages and dangers of Ketogenic diets, on the request of a listener, we read some reviews from listeners, including one telling VFU they are useless, discuss our ongoing suspension from Twitter, and talk about our favorite Saturday morning cartoons.  On the Humidor, Hass reviews a Hoyo de Monterrey no 1 Maduro Presidente cigar and pairs it with an unlikely food... Red Vines!  Last, we play a clip from Ben Shapiro and play a new game, "Hold your Horses", which lampoons comedian Terrence K Williams, who appears via recording to tell us about the Clinton crime family and Jeffrey Epstein.  Join in the racism and bias discussion with America's favorite politically moderate conversational podcast!

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!
