Season 5 Episode 12: Norman Finkelstein Came Here To Chew Bubblegum & Burn Bridges (He’s Out of Gum)

Norman Finkelstein makes his debut appearance on GTAA to talk about his book "I'll Burn That Bridge When I Get to It! Heretical Thoughts on Identity Politics, Cancel Culture, and Academic Freedom." Norm is a lifelong, deeply committed leftist who's faced real consequences in his own career for his advocacy on behalf of the Palestinians, so when he says the Left is f*cking up, perhaps it's a good idea to hear the man out.

Before the interview (and later in the postgame for patrons) Ben and the GTAA crew talk about the Rutgers strike, Clarence Thomas, Peter Hitchens, and Gene Epstein.
