Norman Finkelstein: The Supreme Court Was Always Political
Norm argues that although the court has always been political rather than judicial, the current iteration reflects America's increasing polarization. He also describes how most of the court's opinions -- right or wrong -- are terribly written and argued.

Emma Vigeland joins Ben Burgis and producer Forrest Miller to discuss New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s recent scandal: lying about the number of Covid 19 deaths in New York nursing homes.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration didn’t properly report the Covid 19 deaths of thousands of nursing home patients in order to downplay the statistics in a way that looked favorable to his decision-making. In this video mashup, Cuomo blames the fact that he lied on: Twitter, a toxic political environment, political agendas, attacks, Republicans, personal attacks … not himself, basically.

#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.”

Ana Kasparian, executive producer and host of The Young Turks joins Ben Burgis and discusses her experience of being hacked and how that led her to look into the ways in which all of our personal data is being commodified, and the extreme power dynamic that creates between the people who can acquire and interpret our data and…everyone else.

We just started a GTAA TikTok channel, and we're reposting them on here as YouTube #Shorts including with this one from Ben Burgis's debate with Charlie Kirk where Ben and Charlie argue about Norway's nationalized oil industry, the Prime Minister of Denmark saying socialism doesn't get the credit for his country's welfare state, and how people who care about keeping wages up should feel about immigration.

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.
