Ben Burgis and comedian Naomi Karavani watch a Prager U video on how we should judge America. Prager thinks it’s very very important that we never lose sight of the fact that America is the most amazing country in the entire history of amazingness and that anyone who thinks that it’s done anything particularly objectionable to Iraqis or Vietnamese people or Cambodians just hates amazing things and what do you mean there’s room for improvement? Ben and Noami disagree.

In the opening segment, Ben Burgis and the GTAA crew are going to talk about a Tennessee lawmaker's strange use of Hitler in an argument about the homeless, watch a video about Tucker Carlson's demagoguery, and talk about Ben's trip to Toronto later in the week. The main event tonight is going to be an interview with Jacobin staff writer Luke Savage about his article "The Republican Party Is Waging a War Against Personal Freedom and Free Expression." Continuing with the free speech theme, Ben and his wife Dr. Jennifer Burgis are going to be talking about Plato's apology in the philosophy segment at the end of the main show. Finally, Current Affairs writer Dan Walden is going to be hanging out in the postgame for GTAA patrons where we'll try very hard to make sense of James Lindsay's demented diagram about Hegel, Marx and "leftism"--and maybe finally watched that previously promised libertarian take on Sesame Street. Should be an extremely good time all around.
