Ben Burgis and Djene Bajalan geek out about Ronald Moore's 2004 version of the "Battlestar Galatica" reboot--the show itself, and the politics of it as a phantasmagoric remix of America's collective consciousness of the War on Terror plus a lot of mysticism and hot robots.

We watch a clip of Ayn Rand talking about Immanuel Kant, saying that he is a devil whose teachings will lead America’s youth to believe they should do nothing and be completely unselfish (oh no). Ayn Rand is not our moral compass, thank God, and Ben and his ingenious and beautiful wife Jennifer Burgis join the show to unpack Rand’s statements and elaborate on Kant’s theories on morality. One moral imperative is to never murder anyone, ever. Makes sense.

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.”

Ben and Dr. Kuba analyze the type of conservative nationalism espoused by Ron Dreher, and all the BS that entails. Of particular interest are his claims that critics of Qatar are being culturally imperialist.

Ben and Dr. Eric Osgood watch and comment on a section from the recent debate between Emma Vigeland and Tim Pool. After a little back and forth on crime statistics, Emma pivots from a weird question from Tim about the origins of subway-track pushers to whether Tim supports medicare for all. His answer is quite interesting.

Ben Burgis has new producer Jake Appet of Jacobin and J. Andrew World on to watch a PragerU video that attempts to allow an American CEO to lay claim to the “good” parts of capitalism and socialism and define them as capitalism and then define anything that doesn’t benefit capitalists as harmful to everyone in a society.

Philosophy professor Jamie Lombardi joins Ben to talk about "heartbeat bills" and other current threats to abortion rights, and to revisit the arguments in classic papers on the subject by Don Marquis ("Why Abortion is Immoral"), Judith Jarvis Thomson ("A Defense of Abortion"), and Margaret Olivia Little ("Abortion, Intimacy, and the Duty to Gestate"). Jamie is starting a chapter of Corrupt the Youth (https://corrupttheyouth.weebly.com/) at her college and raising money for Garden State Equality (https://gardenstateequality.rallybound.org/JamieLombardi).
