Season 5 Finale: Zizek Interview + Ben's Debate w/Kissinger Defender on News Nation

from Give Them An Argument · host Ben Burgis

Ben Burgis and Slavoj Zizek talk about everything from Israel/Palestine to quantum physics to the triumph of a libertarian nutjob in Argentina and what kinds of social freedom are worth wanting. It's a *really* good conversation.  It had to be prerecorced because of the extreme time difference between Los Angeles and Ljubljana and it went long enough that the last portion couldn't be played on the show. It'll be released next Friday for patrons and we'll probably run it in full for everyone on the YouTube channel a couple weeks after that.Before playing (most of) the interview, Ben and the GTAA crew watch Ben and break down appearance on News Nation last Thursday, where host Dan Abrams moderated a debate between Ben and a writer from the American Conservative on the legacy of Henry Kissinger. To end Season 5 on a high note, we even got a special postgame appearance from Big Wos.(Note that there's still going to be one last regularly scheduled debate breakdown this coming Thursday and one last regularly scheduled philosophy stream this coming Sunday. After that, regularly scheduled episodes and streams are on hiatus until January but we'll for sure have clips to get you by plus probably a couple of bits of prerecorded fresh content and maybe even a debate. We'll see.)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/benburgisRead the weekly philosophy Substack:benburgis.substack.comVisit benburgis.com
