Julian Assange's The World Tomorrow: Slavoj Žižek & David Horowitz

[stockholmer]

Slavoj Zizek and David Horowitz are the guests for the second episode of Julian Assange's interview show, "The World Tomorrow". "Intellectual superstar" Slavoj Zizek is a philosopher, psychoanalyst and cultural commentator. David Horowitz is a renowned stalwart of hardline conservative American political thought and an unrepentant Zionist.

The tone of the conversation between Zizek, Horowitz and Assange alternated between combative, personal and good-humoured. The topics covered jumped backwards and forwards at a wildfire pace, to include Palestinians and Nazis, Joseph Stalin and Barack Obama, the decline of Europe and the tension between liberty and equality, amongst many others.

2. He is a very good interviewer. I saw one show so far, he interviewed the new President of Tunisia,

who was a human rights activist, jailed by Mubarak several years ago. Tunisia at least seems to be going in the right direction after the revolution, although it will take a while.

The president told Assange how much he admires him and thanked him for all he did to help Tunisia's revolution. He also told him that if he ever needed anything, he would be welcome in Tunisia.

Assange asked him some very good questions, such as how, now that he has power, he might be able to hold on to his ideals, considering the opposition from many of his colleagues in government. The president admitted he worries about that.

It was an excellent interview.

Haven't watched this yet, but I think he will talk to anyone.

4. This is one show I'd like to see more of.

That was a great segment. Horowitz came off like Lee J. Cobb in "12 Angry Men".
