Ben Burgis does a Give Them An Argument crossover episode with German podcast 99 Zu Eins (99 To One), and in this segment, he addresses Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) — her popularity, her role on the Left, two recent controversies (one real: her “present” vote on military funding for Israel, and one no-so-real: her “Tax the Rich” dress at the Met Gala). Ben’s take isn’t exactly complicated: AOC is one individual who is certainly flawed; she’s one lawmaker among many who will not always make the right political choices; fundamentally she is a tool of the people and we should hold her to certain standards.

Shahid Buttar (https://twitter.com/ShahidForChange) (https://shahidforchange.us/) is a Constitutional lawyer and Progressive activist challenging Nancy Pelosi in Congressional district CA-12, joins Ben Burgis and discusses Nancy Pelosi’s complicity in the many, many failures, abuses of power, and illegal actions of the CIA, ICE, DHS, NSA, and other intelligence agencies by leading the Democratic Party’s decades-long funding of agencies and programs that betray the Left’s most basic values.
Buttar also elaborates on the composition of the current U.S. Supreme Court and the Court’s enabling of these harrowing policies and events. He explains his thoughts on the ways that Supreme Court Justice appointments could be systematically resolved more equitably than resorting to court packing when the country is faced with a highly manipulated court composition like the one we’re facing today.

Ben Burgis and Djene Bajalan geek out about Ronald Moore's 2004 version of the "Battlestar Galatica" reboot--the show itself, and the politics of it as a phantasmagoric remix of America's collective consciousness of the War on Terror plus a lot of mysticism and hot robots.

Ben Burgis harkens back to a moment in his debate with James O'Keefe in which James claimed that Project Veritas is not beholden to big donors. Ben comes back with receipts to show the organization's ties to big, dark money, and the dishonesty of James' assertions.

Ben Burgis invites Sam Seder, host of the Majority Report, to Give Them An Argument to take a look at a few of Sam’s debates with libertarians.
In this clip, Sam debates 2016 Libertarian presidential candidate Darryl Perry, who has no chill. Darryl Perry wants to be your president, yet he cannot keep his cool while talking to Sam Seder. Not great. Ben Burgis, Sam Seder, and Jason Myles discuss Libertarian talking points.
