Charles Wofford, who appeared on the show once before to debate Ben Burgis on postmodernism and Marxism, comes back now for a more relaxed appearance to tell us all about the philosophy of Theodore Adorno. Before that, Ben & the GTAA crew talk about the Fetterman/Oz race in Pennsylvania and how Joe Biden apparently got high and forgot about his promise to deschedule cannabis and pardon everyone serving time in federal prisons for non-violent marijuana offense.
Bookending it all at the beginning and end of the show, Ben & the crew mark the two-year anniversary of the premature death of perhaps the most talented political communicator in contemporary American left media--Michael Brooks. Without Michael, this show would never have existed, so we thought we'd share a few clips of him. Whether this is your first time hearing about the guy or you miss him every day, we hope you get something out of it.
