Ben, Djene Bajalan, Ryan Lake, and Mark Warren discuss Sam Harris's piece "In Defense of Torture" and the philosophical (and real world) impact of "defending torture" at a time when the US government really is torturing people.

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, Ben, and Jason Myles, host of This Is Revolution podcast, talk about the challenges that Libertarians face when debates go from the theoretical to even the tiniest drop of real-world situation.
Also, we revisit the time that Walter Block contemplated theoretically being the “King of the Blacks.”

#JordanPeterson #Zizek #Mikhaila Peterson
Author (https://nupress.northwestern.edu/content/subject-lessons) and Professor of English and Critical Theory at Seton Hall University Russell Sbriglia (https://twitter.com/rsbrigs) joins Ben Burgis to discuss Zizek Slavoj (co-editor of Russell’s book), the absolutely bizarre and actually alarming reality of Jordan Peterson’s recent life, and Peterson’s earlier antics and fraudulent claims.
Following a claim that the Left would not debate him—a week after he cancelled a debate on a Left podcast—an entire conference was set up just to force Peterson to debate someone on the Left.
Shockingly, Jordan Peterson was difficult and weird to work with.
Also, Zizek innocently called Mikhaila Peterson “Beef Girl.”

Ben Burgis and the GTAA crew watch Tucker Carlson and a guest talk about how the military should be full of people who want to sit on a "throne of Chinese skulls." Repeat GTAA guest Paul Prescod talks about his campaign for PA State Senate. Emma Vigeland joins Ben Burgis to break down the antics of Jordan Peterson, Josh Hawley, and Ben Shapiro. Professor Jennifer Burgis comes on for a philosophy segment at the end of the main show and we learn that in addition to having terrible political views Shapiro is pretty clueless about Kant. Anders Lee comes on to hang out in the postgame.
