Thursday Night Debate Breakdown: Khrushchev vs. Nixon (The "Kitchen Debate")
Producer Jordan and Current Affairs magazine's House Economist Rob Larson join Ben Burgis to continue the weekly series of Thursday Night Debate Breakdowns by watching the classic impromptu debate between Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev and then-Vice President Richard Nixon at the opening of the American National Exhibition at Sokolniki Park in Moscow on July 24, 1959. It's a short debate--no postgame tonight--but it's a fascinating glimpse into a time when big arguments about capitalism and socialism dominated global politics.

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.

Ben is going to be on a plane back to the West Coast tonight, but Andy and Cale are holding down the fort, recapping the big NYC live show, and then playing an interview Ben recorded with socialist philosopher and GTAA fan-favorite Lillian Cicerchia about her Jacobin article "socialists Need to Talk About Justice."

The crew plus Matt Lech watches a clip of Jordan Peterson being interviewed by Andy Ngo, in which he speculates on the psychological motivations of Antifa's violence. This serves as a launching off point into a discussion of both Mr. Peterson's appeal and his odd use of his background as a psychologist.

Ben Burgis is joined by J. Andrew World, Jake Appet, and Djene Bajalan for some wild fun with PragerU. The PragerU cartoon people are time traveling again, which means we’ll definitely encounter some racism or misogyny or genocide of indigenous peoples that PragerU will find a way to tell us was an awesome event in history. This time, these two travel to Victorian England, so that they can extol the wondrous virtues of brutal colonialism. Yes! What a fanciful time full of frivolity and gaiety for all!
