I watched the 2003 discussion between Dershowitz and Finkelstein. It was astonishing. He used Dershowitz' own book as a weapon against him. Alan thinks it's okay to steal from others. Finkelstein's depth of knowledge is amazing.

Why do I pay to get the full audio days later? Legit makes zero sense

Exactly! It is very very very annoying to subscribe and then not be able to listen to and watch the full program/interview until some unspecified, unannounced time in the future. WHY?

The thing that’s so great about Finkelstein is that, in addition to all his other virtues, he’s funny!

I signed up to listen to the bonus content with Norm but only see the content already posted on YouTube here. Where is the extended interview mentioned at the end of the video? 🙏

To Finklestein - The Right doesn't 'cancel'. Cancel Culture is a phenomenon solely of the LEFT; They negate (cancel) and ostrasize (mob culture, mobbing). The Right just ignores stuff it isn't interested in or doesn't find relative; The Right is not totalitarian like the Left. BIG difference.

McConnell is a partisan asshole, period. He is anti-democratic and the internal threat. If this were in the antebellum period, he would be pro-slavery, a member of the pro-slavery Democratic Party. Of course the corollary that GOP supporters are anti-democratic and are the internal threat is also true.

Katie, you're talking too much, and ignoring Matt's responses. Boorish

More Finkelstein please.

The audio for Katie and Mr Finkelstein was painfully lacking. Hosts and guests must be micced well and have as decent the aural quality as Matt did on this episode. Had to stop listening to the extended interview. Thank you,

Great episode. I hope you can watch N. Finklestein on Zero Books 'this is revolution.' I know you are, like me, trying to make sense of American Democracy. It irritates me that you still believe that the Democratic and Republican parties individually and collectively aren't acting in concert to stifle democracy. Both parties are currently in power, and have been since 2014. In fact by using dueling media platforms and legal internet data mining they have achieved close to a 50/50 platform of influence which equals complete control by a Capitalist cabal. I am not asking that you jump on this conspiracy train with me, I just wish you would look at the evidence and recognize the possibility that no matter how loosely you define 'democracy', this isn't it.

'wish Matt and Katie had gotten into the policy differences of the Voting Rights Act. We all know about the various characters in the play. The Left really never discusses WHY the Right objected, I.e the federalization and centralization of yet more government power, much like found in the Soviet Union and China. There's a reason for 'states' rights. Matt & Katie you need to dig deeper.

Hi I have written something about the millions of people still believing in Trumpism and how they and the Republican Party will not give up until they are confronted. I would love it if you could read it. I await your reply because I didn't just want to send it. I thought that would be rude. Thanks for being here, We need you!
