Ben Burgis and Ana Kasparian watch Ana's opening statement from her debate with Ben Shapiro and talk about why the Right wants to talk about manufactured culture war distractions instead of talking about material problems facing working-class people, and why the road forward has to involve rebuilding strong labor unions.

Ben and Will zoom through the crowded GOP primary field, and no one emerges unscathed, even some people you probably have never even heard of. Particular appreciation goes to Ron Desantis for being so unintentionally hilarious.

Tim Pool thinks the existence of upward mobility in society means socialism is invalid. He also tries to claim he is "moderate leftwing" in his approach to politics, despite the fact he voted for Trump. Ben, Matt, and Producer Jake evaluate these claims.

Ben is off this week while traveling, so Super-Producer Jake is taking the reins for an episode on labor organizing! He's welcoming famed Jacobin labor reporter Alex Press as well as rank and file organizer José Sanchez to discuss some of the biggest current organizing drives in America. Of particular relevance -- José is currently organizing with fellow grad students at Duke to form a union. Before that, the gang discusses extremely failed attempts to define the word "woke." On the post-game, the crew will examine some of the wildest Alex Jones clips Andy could find.

The gang plus writer Dan Walden attempt to make sense of Jame's Lindsay's odd visual aid to understanding the broad historical sweep of left-wing thought. Stick around to hear a leftist interpretation of the role of dragons in fantasy lore.

Ben accepts the standing challenge from Arizona State University's Dr. Owen Anderson to debate any Marxist professor. According to Dr. Anderson, most university professors these days are Marxists, even if they won't admit it, and furthermore -- they are all too cowardly to debate him. We hope Dr. Anderson will jump at the chance to debate a self-admitted Marxist professor.

Ben Burgis and the crew watch a recent clip from the Ben Shapiro show in which the "other Ben" makes an arguably unhinged comparison between Joseph Robinette Biden and deceased rock star Kurt Cobain. Then our Ben reminds the audience of an interesting assertion by Joe Rogan -- that Mr. Shapiro would most likely agree to a debate on GTAA. An open invitation is extended. Will it be accepted? Only time will tell.
