About a week and a half after the Capitol riot, Ben co-wrote a Jacobin article with fellow TMBS alumnus Daniel Bessner in Jacobin: https://jacobinmag.com/2021/01/trump-capitol-riot-fascist-coup-attempt Ben and Danny think that the case they were making in the article has only gotten stronger in the last several months. Their friends (really, not just a courtesy, we like these guys) Matthew Sitman and Sam Adler-Bell disagree. Matt and Sam criticized the article on the last episode of their (otherwise excellent) podcast Know Your Enemy. Everyone graciously agreed to come on YouTube to sip a little bourbon and talk it out.

Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) cast the only vote against the Authorization for Use of Military Force in 2001, following the 9/11 attacks. The Authorization gave George W. Bush’s administration carte blanche to wage a nebulous and, as we now know, frequently secretive and incredibly broad ranging “war on terror” that had nothing to do with the events of 9/11. Writer Luke Savage joins Ben Burgis to discuss the fact that Barbara Lee was right, and everyone else was wrong.
