Season 4 Episode 7: Rick Perlstein (+ Sean Hannity Thinks You Should Work 90 Hours a Week)

Sean Hannity thinks that if you don't want to be poor you should be willing to work "70, 80, 90 hours a week," so Ben Burgis & the GTAA crew start with that and then review an impromptu debate that Ben & Connor Halbleib (Berniecrat & Democratic nominee in Kentucky's 5th Congressional district) had with a Callin caller on Medicare for All. The main event is Ben's unlocked interview with Rock Perlstein, author of "Before the Storm," "Nixonland," "The Invisible Bridge" and (most recently) "Reaganland," which was previously released to GTAA patrons. At the end of the main show, Dr. Jennifer Burgis joins Ben for a brief philosophy segment (on the what the Ad Hominem fallacy is vs. what the internet thinks it is) and then Mean Djene Bajalan from This is Revolution hangs out in the postgame for patrons!
