Ben Burgis and the GTAA crew look at some insane responses to Joe Biden's declaration that he won't start World War III and review a mini-debate that Ben and Ryan Lake had with a Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist during Ben's Callin show. Benjamin Teitelbaum, author of "War for Eternity," is the main guest. Ben Burgis tends to think Steven Bannon is just a regular Reaganite Republican (which is bad and dangerous enough!) withe edgy prince-of-darkness branding, while Teitelbaum thinks Bannon is something different and qualitatively more dangerous. At the end the two Bens' positions converge a bit. In the philosophy segment at the end of the main show, Ben (Burgis) and his wife Dr. Jennifer Burgis watch a clip of a third Ben, Ben Shapiro. Finally, in the postgame for GTAA patrons, Plastic Pills co-host Victor Bruzzone and YouTuber "Mouthy Infidel" (whose channel has more recently been renamed "Electrons in Love" and whose parents named him Ethan) rejoin Ben to watch the Q&A from the debate the three of them broke down last Thursday.

(We always skip the Q&A when we do debate breakdowns but we've been assured from many sources that in this particular case the Q&A is worth watching at least a spectacle. Sparks were already flying during the debate itself but apparently they get spark-ier and fly-ier during the Q&A.)
