AMC's "Mad Men" came out 15 years ago this month. The main guest this week is labor organizer, writer, and professor Shaun Richman, who wrote an essay for Jacobin Magazine about the show's surprising points of connection to leftist ideas:https://jacobin.com/2022/07/mad-men-15-years-advertising-left-ideas-monopoly-capitalBefore that, Ben Burgis & the GTAA Crew go over an interesting part of Ben's debate with Tim Pool, Tulsi Gabbard & James O'Keefe where O'Keefe repeatedly dodged Ben's question about whether Project Veritas has wealthy donors. (Shockingly the answer is "yes, of course it does.") We also take a look at a recent incident where (defeating our expectations laid out in Episode 3) Jordan Peterson actually popped his head out from underneath his rock to talk to a leftist (Kyle Kulinski). At the end of the show, there's a philosophy segment on positive rights w/Dr. Jennifer Burgis and then Marcus from Left Flank Vets hangs out in the postgame for GTAA patrons.Watch the Valley Labor Report episode where they talk about the debate with Tim Pool, Tulsi Gabbard & James O'Keefe:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Djh4AiC0nTU Follow Shaun on Twitter: @Ess_DogBen Burgis faces off against an interesting trio at the Minds.com Festival of Ideas about media manipulation, freedom of speech, and labor unions.Follow Ben on Twitter: @BenBurgisFollow GTAA on Twitter: @Gtaa_ShowBecome a GTAA Patron and receive numerous benefits ranging from patron-exclusive postgames every Monday night to our undying love and gratitude for helping us keep this thing going:patreon.com/benburgisVisit benburgis.com

He asserts that the current moment is also “pregnant with possibilities,” and he offers ideas for the movement's next steps.Shaun Richman spent a decade and a half as a union organizer and representative. He was a Deputy Director of Organizing for the American Federation of Teachers, where he ran the union's national charter school organizing division.
