@@GodsOwnPrototype Define Native.

q same way as we have native NZ (Māori); native Japanese; native Americans, such as Navajo; and so on.
@@enzedbrit ok so tell me what's a native Brit. How far back we going. I am descendant from Scandinavia. However there also Roman descendants e.t.c. are we considering them all native.
q did I not just give you your answer? If you acknowledge your ancestors come from elsewhere and know when it happened, you’re not native. If the arrival of your ancestors in your land is lost to time or has become myth, then you’re native. JUST LIKE MĀORI, Japanese, Navajo, etc! Want to ask me the same question again? If you’ve got mixed heritage, as most people have, embrace it. Being native isn’t diluted. It’s not racial purity.
Anyone else on a Douglas Murray binge? His voice is sorely needed.
He’s everywhere right now. Which has been your favourite feature of him?
@@ChrisWillx Probably this one, or maybe his triggernometry appearence.
Agree his recent Triggernometry one was good. Also New Culture Forum. I like his US ones too.
ive been a fan for.years. i have his books.too..awesome guy.
yea he's doing a lot of interviews atm. What i loved about this one was you managed to get a different response out of him, not his fault that interviewers often ask the same questions so he uses his best ammo as a response was cool to get somthing different
Should I be worried that I am a straight woman but find myself strangely attracted to Douglas? 😂 Love the chemistry between these two and the way they make eachother laugh like children. Good stuff 🥰
It's not strange at all. His sexual orientation doesn't change that he comes across as masculine which we boring straight ladies are naturally attracted to, and his dry, brutal humour is very charming.
Nothing wrong with enjoying the complimentary eye-candy that comes with an insightful and entertaining discussion. I mean, Chris I wouldn't 'bump off the edge of the bed' either, as we say in German ;), and as you said, they have a great bromance going on.
I agree completely!😄
I'm straight and Douglas Murray reads (to me at least) as entirely masculine. Very attractive indeed.
Me too ❤
Completely agree. Douglas is an incredibly intelligent man with the rare quality of having common sense as well. That coupled with his masculine good looks and that utterly adorable lisp has this particular straight gal weak at the knees! His personal sexuality doesn't change anything.
I'm a Brit living in Cambodia. 8 months ago in Phnom Penh, I had a conversation with an American girl who bragged she is a Marxist. She asked me if I had a problem with it. I said yes. She replied why? I replied " errrr.... Pol Pot!" She had panic attack, then claimed Lenin and Satlin were actually far right, and the right had changed history to blame the left. True story. These people are unsalvageable.
PLPB&stuf and they’re stupid.
@@kityfitz I'd love to agree Olivia, but I'm starting to think they're just jealously evil.
Good word choice: unsalvageable. Sadly true.
Sometimes you wonder if they’ve ever opened a history text book? Or talked to anyone from the actual societies they are referring to!
Douglas Murray’s wicked irreverence to these absurd woke times has me in stitches.. a great panacea to all the madness
Totally agree
Picture two jihadies riding round Tajikistan on the stolen tandem bicycle.
Excellent review 👌
Deadly serious, but distinctly hilarious.
Very true, lots of great British wit in this one, I loved it!!
Actual quote from a Harry Potter film: “Dark times lie ahead of us and there will be a time when we must choose between what is easy and what is right. -Albus Dumbledore”
Thats an amazing qoute
That has always been the way and is included in all great books. It's always been a roller coaster of bad times and good times.
WOW! THAT'S EARTH SHATTERING!!!!!!!
... I don't know any of her works, but I thought that she was pretty far left. What happened?
Ironically some Portlander protests prob grew up as Potter fans before their indoctrination
It’s not a matter of a silent majority as much as a silenced majority.
The majority thinks the other side is the majority and are too intimidated to stand up against them.
Rubbish.
@@dharmaqueen7877 Not true, the majority know the left is actually the minority but it has ALL the institutional power. It's like a communist government. The government itself is not the majority but it holds the institutional power. The power to unperson you. True, cancelling a person doesn't have the same power it that it has in a communist regime, but it does intimidate some people. To see the power of the left check out the fact that the British government is making government personnel take diversity (i.e communism) training. A supposedly right wing government is using tax money raised to propagandise its staff with communist propaganda. Right in their faces! That's a lot of power.
@Elizabeth Anthony Fatigues on, ready to fight.
Elizabeth Anthony I think Peterson is far too apologetic in his approach during discussions such as these. Murray strikes at the core of these pertinent issues and is less perfunctory and abstract than Peterson.
Totally agree about that young woman who refused to raise her fist, she was heroic.
Though unfortunately she herself after in an interview said she is a firm believer in BLM, quite the downer haha
@@unendingitch4118 Can you provide a link? Genuinely interested.
@Chemist This is an opinion piece written by the woman herself. Since the incident went viral she’s kind of swayed back and forth about it, but an article in the Washington Post constitutes the end all of her beliefs/stance in _my_ opinion.
EDIT: I forgot to add the link! I have to smh at my own self more often than is comfortable to admit lol.

Chemist understood, but they do give 3 free articles a month. While I’ve given them clicks, I’ve never given them a dollar
Every time I hear Douglas speak I feel this overwhelming sense of joy that there are some rational, perceptive voices to listen to. Great video, thanks.
Douglas is the sharpest and objectively honest man in this country, more Brits should emulate this man!
He’s the real deal, agreed.
@@ChrisWillx and you're on that path with this channel, keep it up mate!
Thank you 👊
@Matt Read Do you not have workers' rights where you live? I guess I should ask where you live and how have workers there been abandoned? I don't know who he is (not sure how I even got this video) - - - so I am a little lost here, in CA....:) TIA.
No, he's an Oxbridge Tommy Robinson.
60 years of Affirmative Action is the root of the problem. Self pity and imagining everyone else is the villian is getting out of control.
That's some grade A bullshit
@Kvothe Windrunner Failed attempts at solving the race problems, based on wrong ideas about the causes of those problems are at the root of the problem. They have resulted in frustration and in the growth of grievance studies at universities.
"If we wanted to be serious about evidence, we might compare where blacks stood a hundred years after the end of slavery with where they stood after 30 years of the liberal welfare state. In other words, we could compare hard evidence on “the legacy of slavery” with hard evidence on the legacy of liberals." - Thomas Sowell.
Which is ironic in the worst possible way. With all the motivational speakers, books, tapes and movies there are out there you'd think there'd be parity. But.. it isn't.. it's just a problem that gets exponentially worse it seems.
@Jeannie Seibert seriously. There are so many examples of evidence being ignored by the far left these days. A big one is socialism itself.
I’m a veteran. I was deployed to Qatar in 2005 and while there traveled all over the region performing my duties.
I went to Eritrea with a squad of Army guys. It has one of the worst human rights records on the planet. We were driving when we see a government militia truck well up ahead. The US was training the soldiers to fight the Jihadis, so we weren’t overly concerned. But as we approached, the truck sped off. When we got to where it was parked, we saw why. Two men laid on the road, shot in the head. A middle aged woman, naked from the waist down, was face down and shot in the back of the head. It was then I heard moaning from the side of the road. I stepped down the small bank and a young girl was laying there, maybe 7 to 9 years old. I picked her up, instinctively, and she started jerking her body as if to get away from me. It was then I realized her legs were covered with blood mixed with dust, and for reasons I still can’t explain all these years later, I lifted her ratty dress to see where she was shot. Except she hadn’t been shot, she had been raped so viciously that her body was literally ripped apart. She suddenly went stiff like a board, and she looked me in the eye. The only thing I remember after that look in her eye was the sergeant screaming in my ear to get back in the humvee.
These brats whining have no fucking clue what evil looks like. I know, because I didn’t either until that day. In my nightmares I see that little girl’s eyes, and it isn’t the pain, fear, or sadness that scares the shit out of me. It’s the relief. The relief she had that it was finally over, that death was welcome to what she had known all her short life.
Oh buddy . I’m so, so sorry . I have never fought in a war . I have no idea ... I have however , lived in a Gulf state and a former communist country in the 90s . I know what lack of freedom is and am seeing it in America 🇺🇸 . People have NO idea . Thank you for service dear one . As a mom I will pray for you tonight . God Bless you .
Brother. Rest easy and live the happiest life you can.
Words won’t help you but I hope time and the people around you do
Hi Jordan, I've never experienced a war. My husband did. If it can be of any help to you, I'd recommend books by Robert Monroe and hemi-sync by Monroe Institute.
Damn...just...damn. You fine sir, are exactly right. Anyone who thinks the USA is a bad country is absolutely stupid. I don't know what to say except thanks for keeping those horrors away from my country.
Prayers for you and for the little girl. I still can’t catch my breath from reading your post. You are so right.
Douglas Murray is a gift to the world. I am grateful for his friendship with Americans... and grateful for every word he speaks.
God speed Douglas. Thank you for all you do for us.
Can I double-like this? Douglas is on form!
So SO on fire for this one wasn’t he
I adore it when Douglas has fire in his belly 👍he really is above the rest, I believe there is not a queue of progressives trying to debate Douglas. Much respect and admiration. Thank you Gentlemen xx
absolutely. And to add my 2c I think as many people should go woke-fishing as possible this would very quickly destabilize the left. And would be pretty funny at the same time.
@@mike2carrington 'Destabilise the Left'? What Left?
Britain is run by a small group of unaccountable Chicago School Eton boys, sociopathic, venal and barbaric.
@Bobbie Tuggboat Are they both arse-bandits?
I often wonder if the woke understand how emotionally undeveloped they seem to the rest of us.
they are ,,adults,, with hurt inner childs screaming for attention. narcissist trying to change the world and everyone around them so they can fit in.
@Bobbie Tuggboat both ways are possible. hurt childs or totally spoiled ones. you are right too.
Arrested psychological development ... stuck in the pre-pubescent phase.
bobbie. I agree !
Absolutely right, along with the comments below. Spoiled, entitled children grow up emotionally undeveloped. It is a different type of harm and neglect with the same outcome. The west has a massive mental health crisis on our hands and it is being exploited by evil doers. Just like Charles Manson exploited his young, hippie followers and turned them into murderers.
I’m a simple man.
Douglas Murray speaks,
I listen.
This has made me very happy. As a gay man in Manhattan - it’s amazing the lunacy I hear on a daily basis - my tongue is bloody from biting it all day long. You guys are awesome. Thank you.
as the daughter of a gay father and lesbian mother who were bullied into trying to become straight and it didn't work I TOTALLY AGREE with you. And the only reason I mention my parents is because you're absolutely right here in Manhattan you absolutely have to qualify everything you say. So basically what I made as if you are of a certain color or if you're not gay then you can't say anything otherwise you will get your head ripped off. And I can even get away with saying that because my father who was gay was also black so...... but I get your point yes it's true here in New York City you can't say anything it really is insane out here
Them: We just want to have the conversation about this
Douglas: No you don't, you want to lecture people
Somebody pay this man!
That'll be the day.
I’m going to film myself stealing “In Defence of Looting” and when I get busted, excuse it as post modern performance art.
lovely but be careful. i remember "steal this book" by what'- his -name. if you do it get a dada lawyer.
if that doesn't work, just make sure you have PRESS patches all over your clothes;
In my best obnoxious John Oliver voice - - Do it!!
Do it.
@@Mudskipper_is_me Damn, you beat me to it!
Whenever I get wound up, disheartened and pessimistic over the current unrest, I turn to Douglas for an injection of calm, reason and optimism. He makes everything better.
If any one person person is to be cloned in the future, it should be Murray. Tthe world needs more of him and his clear and honest voice.
The problem is that identity politics is promoted by most of the media as well as by schools, universities, and big corporations.
We, as parents, spent a lot of money to send our kids off to college, thinking we were doing the best for them, not noticing the universities had become indoctrination centers. Now these indoctrinated adults have infiltrated business, government etc. Have you kids learn a good trade instead.
@@gwenj5419 A good trade will take them anywhere.
I admire his mind, his language and his humour. Excellent conversation. Not all is lost in the west!
i swear murray gets wittier and wittier with every passing year... such a delight to listen to
Douglas Murray a voice of reason in a sea of madness
This is the best Interview I’ve seen with Douglas Murray. It shows another side of this wonderful man. I laughed at his brilliant and caustic comments.
Thank you JS. I really felt like we were on the perfect level for this one
Thought he was really down in triggernometry...
People are not given facts, they're given speculation, and people go for the side of speculation cause humans have a killer instinct
I just love Douglas Murray, he speaks so much sense......
I love him too
Yes absolutely he is a saviour in these stupid ridiculous times 👍
I love him more 😉

"Idiocy masquerading as moral virtue"
I am definitely stealing this!
Thank Jesus we have Douglas in our world. Those who haven't read him are missing the wisdom they need.
Man, the more I hear Douglas the happier I get. So great to listen to someone who is so reasonable about things. You've been nailing down some excellent guests of late.
Thank you. Some more huge names incoming soon too 👀
Loved this episode Chris! That first part is gold!!! A urine stenched graffitied wasteland!
Pure quality from DM here. Enjoy the ep man
Sounds like Camden Town
I gigglying away to this quote when a BMW decided to occupy the road space that my car was using. I was in complete joy at the intelligent giddy conversation and didn't even acknowledge the traffic violation. My fingers didn't touch my sidewinder missile launcher activated by the headlamp lever.
I was happily surprised by J.K Rowling's actions and her stance on all this nonsense and she has my respect .
Ya..I thought she was with the weirdos😂😂😂
I’m a simple man. I see Douglas Murray. I click on it and give it a like.
I'm tilting my head trying to see the book collection of Douglas Murray xD
Me too 😂
If someone can figure them all out, please put up a list
I'm currently working my way through The Gulag Archipelago (Bottom left on his shelf). I highly recommend it but be prepared for a damned depressing read.
As am I, which lead to my wondering what does he do for light reading?! Wander up to those shelves and depending on your mood, you walk away with a degree or depression.
Ha! Me too!! He has the Gulag Archipelago, I’m trying to read the other titles!
Douglas is so funny, he should be hosting a late night show.
Absolutely!
Such a pleasure to listen to these two young men riffing off one another. Douglas's powerful intellect feeds Chris's curiosity, and Chris's obvious joy in identifying ironies provokes Douglas to dissect them for us. And Chris's winning smile and infectious laughter lights up Douglas for us to enjoy. Keep it coming, boys. It's wonderful.
‘They want to be the Kim Jong Un of anti-racism’. Hilarious!
As a member of staff at my local Sixth Form College, I was subjected to 'anti-racism' and 'anti-radicalisation' training around four years ago. The person delivering the talk seemed unaware that she was addressing a hall filled with graduates and post-graduates: all of whom had qualified to teach young people. Her talk was dull, and her knowledge-base poor. I complained about the waste of time and money, and poor academic rigour; but got nowhere. The problem is that the people commissioning these 'Training Companies' (among them, the infamous, 'Common Purpose') are poorly-educated bureaucrats, themselves: who seem oblivious to the controversial nature of what they are doing. The National Trust for Scotland has a Director of 'Customer & Cause', called MARK BISHOP, who writes in the Trust's magazine, "Organisations like the Trust have an important part to play in eliminating racism". I had no idea the NTS was so full of 'racists' (and probably homophobes and antisemites, too!). Needless to say, BISHOP is an Englishman who is employed, full-time, within the Charity Industry, where you only get appointed if you come out with crap like this. I thought the NTS was to care for land and buildings in Scotland: not fight racism. Small wonder Dr Neil Oliver is standing down as its President. Good for him!
Mark Dyer I was a teacher and have to agree with you these mass lectures are a waste of money. I often didn’t turn up for them, or turn up sign in then go away. Racism nowadays means ignore the needs of white students over black students. Stuff that! All students need different things and it isn’t racist to help a white person. I am so sick of the word racist being banded about, it means nothing. Mainly it’s culture that is the problem.
@@kathleensmith644 Kathleen, thank you for this. I'm now 68 and retired. I know it sounds 'snooty'; but Teachers are - often - (not always!) 'educated' people; particularly when we were educated in the fewer universities available back in the 1970s. And education does not cease with initial graduation, but continues throughout adult life. This infantilisation of the entire Teaching profession, I also saw within Nursing (I was also a Registered Nurse); where we were subjected to the same bullshit. A student of theology, I remember being told, "You must respect all religions", by a somewhat dim lecturer; who did not appear to appreciate the difference between a 'religion', and the 'person-practising-that-religion'. I may respect the latter: but not always the former.
@Arthur Roberts Why not? Unless we challenge these 'woke' morons, they are just going to ride, rough-shod, over all of our prized institutions.
It's great watching two people talking sense, laughing and enjoying each others company
I’ve always said, “I am my own peer group”. Don’t follow fashion, don’t follow trends. I don’t care if I’m “cool” and don’t care if people view me as weird. I respect others and their beliefs and expect the same from them.
Douglas Murray is literally everywhere over the last two weeks.
Karl P - Good!!!
Karl P And that’s a great thing!
Douglas Murray is beyond brilliant. The Madness of Crowds clarifies so much of the convoluted thinking of wokeness.
I can’t imagine why anyone has given this a downvote unless it’s a perpetual Douglas Murray hater.
I agree right. More upvotes pls, internet
Douglas Murray is a quasi ethno stater, he flirts too closely with concerns about the cultural whiteness being important for a host society like Britain.
I don't want that shit in the US, and people who agree most strongly with Murray have that nasty strain inside them.
@@ubuu7 He's addressing the deliberate dilution of native Europeans. Which we know is happening because our last Labour government are record discussing the idea, and official census confirms it is still happening. There's nothing wrong with recognising and tackling a real threat.
@@J4CK4L7 the threat if what? too many non whites? Not what conservatives CLAIM they cared about. The values of the people coming in, the beliefs, the self sufficiency and being able to bring something to the table like higher skills, no.
Gotta worry about the WHITENESS so we don't dilute our aryan dominance.
This is the core sameness bias that infects every shitkicking right winger across the fucking globe.
And Murray is further enough along on that spectrum for me to want nothing to do with him.
I got that when he was on Sam Harris podcasts and let the european numbers obsession slip.
Race matters to Murray. He explicitly says so in polite and genteel tones. He's not a fire breather and does not demand we mass deport ALL the people in western countries, so it goes under the radar. But at the end of the day, he is an open enemy to a liberal society that is not based in part on the logic of a semi ethno state that demands a critical number of white people be the dominant ethnic group lest our way of life falter!
As someone that is not white, I find that shit abhorrent. No doubt the white conservatives, and living minstrel shows like Jesse Lee Peterson's of the world have no problem with that.
And for the record, I'm not fond of the idea of a mass influx of say, a bunch of salafist muslims into my country the US. But it's not because of the race, it's the conservative and theocratic attitudes that are associated with that.
I'd take some of the more liberal muslims I know here over a bunch of paint sniffing conservatives any day. Even though they are not white! Because I don't hold onto ethno state logic as part of my world view.
Murray does. IF you and people like Modern wisdom paid the fuck attention, you'd get that.
I for one can't believe that Douglas said George Floyd was 'killed'- he died of a self-imposed drug overdose that was exacerbated by his having Covid at the time of his arrest, could have picked up a few dislikes because of that?
I heard this guy speak for exactly 2 seconds and love him already! Maybe there's still a glimmer of hope for the world.
I think Nietzsche said it best "The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price to high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself"
"I'd like to think that it's more butch than that." Funniest, most relatable line in the whole interview!
Douglas is on point 😂
Sir Thomas More was having an argument with his son-in-law William Roper who said that he would tear down all of the laws of England to get and the devil and More said that when you have torn down all of the laws of England and the devil turns around on you what do you use to defend yourself? |So an anecdote from the 16th century is still so relevant to today.
I make a point of reading that play, Robert Bolt's "A Man for All Seasons", every time I come across it in my book collection. Definitely a book for our times. A great movie was made of this play, too. God bless my high school English teacher who made us read it.
Douglas Murray is definitely a clear voice in a boisterous world. Definitely need to follow more of him. Great interview, loved the hilarious banter as well!
- “You increasingly just do sort of a ballerina dance through these land mines ...”
- “I’d like to think it’s slightly more butch than that...”
LMAO... funniest thing I’ve heard in a while.
Douglas Murray is such an intelligent, funny and interesting man. The only other man I find as interesting is Jordan Peterson. Murray is funnier. lol

Erudite, articulate, funny - Douglas Murray is brilliant in this interview!
It's almost exactly how Yuri Bezminov described demoralization
@Auxiliary Stream Services I don't know about calling it shitposting considering the internet wasn't exactly in existence when the soviets were, but the parallels really are crazy. At the time he was being interviewed he was under the impression that academia had already been fully subverted (I believe in the 80s), and literally said the population will be convinced that it is alright to use violence in the name of social justice when in actuality this is never acceptable, especially in the name of social justice, it is exactly what is occurring

Great interview. Douglas is a most sage, well humoured, compassionate chap. What a treasure. All the best. Peace
Douglas is simply wonderful. A hero and voice of sanity in an increasingly demented world.
Hey man, glad I discovered your podcast.
I watched your interview with John Devitt on dealing with depression and never realized that you were involved in entertainment and the club scene.
Pretty amazing to watch someone transition from being involved with something as shallow as 'Love Island' to interviewing the leading public intellectuals of our time.
You've managed to capture an entirely different audience and I think its refreshing to have a less 'dryly academic' (or at least someone from an industry that could be considered a different planet altogether) type of person around doing these interviews. Like a younger, more informed and less fatuous version of Joe Rogan.
Keep up the great work.
Thank you very much man. That means a lot. I love the trajectory my life has taken these past 5 years, can’t wait to see what comes next
Can't get enough of Douglas, already finished his book on audio in the past 2 days.
This man is a treasure! We need more voices like his.
I love Douglas Murray, and watch anything I see with him. I think this may be the best interview I've ever seen with him. Well done!
Literally just finished listening to a chapter of The Madness of Crowds. Highly recommend!
I’m waiting for the Cardi B - WAP Edition

I read The Madness of Crowds after your last podcast with Murray. Although highly critical, he's able to be respectful and centered throughout the book. A powerful intelectual! Thanks for bringing him to my attention, and yet another awesome conversation. Cheers from Brazil!
Just freaking love Douglas Murray. He has a penchant for putting the truth in such an interesting light, in a hilarious way.
Laughing out loud, having my tea and a pastry, I feel better than I have in awhile watching this. Thank you gentlemen!
Douglas Murray makes the UK worth it.
Douglas Murray makes so much sense. He inspires me to realize that the things I have always believed are okay. He is inspiring.

I'm old enough to remember when Gore Vidal anointed Christopher Hitchens as his heir apparent, Hitchens in time would anoint a young Douglas Murray as his future successor, The Hitch was on the money as ever! Douglas Murray is an unstoppable blend of intelligence and wit. Brilliant interview.

I have been loving the volume of Douglas Murray on TH-cam lately. Like finding water in the middle of a desert.
Melanie Eccles here form "smoke infested, usually sunny" Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. Thanks for adding a "lite touch" to an otherwise serious topic. The segment about "woke fishing" was particularly funny, but sad and totally believable. I like and respect the two of you and glad I found you out there. Keep producing meaningful content - Lord knows - there is none in the MSM. CHEERS!
It's so refreshing to listen to people who really seem to have fun during the conversation, because they can freely speak their minds among each other.
Douglas never disappoints. Great 👍🏻
The silent majority:
1. is preoccupied with being productive members of society (ie: meeting society's needs, earning a living, raising responsible children, etc).
2. is understandably intimidated by the violent screeching of the minority's irresponsible children
3. understands that the minority's tantrum will eventually burn out / eat itself
4. trusts in the foundational institutions of properly liberal (small "l") enlightened society to endure the minority's periodic tantrums
society is destroyed before 3 happens
Barefoot, Yes Agree with you. Unfortunately too many people think that number 3 and 4 will just naturally come and pass. It will not
Wrong on No. 3. This tantrum is now ideologically embedded in all of our institutions and will bring our system down
Douglas being a bit cheeky and a flirt in this one - love seeing that playful side of him.
You're both looking gorgeous and talking sense. It's all good 😎
Douglas Murray is the man. I always feel more empowered and brave after listening to him
Thats a shame .
I think he gives pseudo intellectual legitimacy to
Scared bigotry
Absolutely love Douglas Murray. Nobody cuts through absurdity quite like him
or wears a tight white t-shirt!

The MSM has a lot to answer for.
Defund/dismantle the MSM
Back in March when this all went down I knew I needed some perspective on society so I read Tale of Two Cities and The Jungle and got exactly what I needed to weather this storm. Reading old books are great!
Books are real friends
I was made aware of Douglas several years ago and I really like his ideas. He is so calm and polite I don't know how he does it. I wish more people would listen to what he says and leave their hate at the door for once. I see a very dark time for those people when the backlash comes, however long it takes to get here. It is coming. And many of them will not survive it.
I’ve seen so many interviews with Douglas Murray and this is my absolute favorite!! Glad to discover this channel!
Wonder if we will get to a point where the majority of people will discover the courage to stand up against this nonsense.
I think the host hit the nail on the head when he said they are very clever people who constantly move the goal posts and tie you in knots to the point you dont even know what sport you're playing. And they intellectually intimidate people. I think thats why many people stay silent.
@G*man thats true also.
The majority of people will likely not find the courage, but if enough find the courage to tip the scales then the majority will likely follow!

Forget it dude, most people, especially men, cant even stand up to the "I am a female and therefore right" sociopaths
The laughter is refreshing, thank you. Not many laughs to be had these days, at least not in public.
I'm a great admirer of Douglas Murray's writing and debating skills.
I've noticed that recently he has changed his image and looks younger, fitter and more relaxed. He used to dress and style himself as what was once called a Young Fogey. Perhaps he has no need to look older as his words give him the gravitas he perhaps thought he lacked when young. Or perhaps he has got a young toy boy. Either way, good luck to him - a genuine independent thinker in a world of groupthink.
All good things in our society happen due to bright individuals, like Douglas Murray.
Thank you! I love Douglas Murray! As usual the voice of common sense and reason!
Douglas Murray is my absolute favorite! Watching clips of him decimating his opponents on Islam &PC BS is the reason I even made a YT account😊.
Yeah Douglas Murray is my total fave too, love how he demolishes Islam ..
Yes
I love listening to these two who clearly love each other and seem to be true friends. Seeing them crack up together is what we all need. We need to laugh again, damn it!
Love the interviewer and Douglas Murray is at his acerbic best. LOVE his humour!! This cheered me up so much.
Chris has one of the best laughs of all time.
It’s how I imagine a horse would laugh

You’re not giving yourself enough credit.
But wait.....there’s a term called “horse-sense”.
I always thought that described someone with an immense amount of common sense.
That describes you very accurately.
Thoroughly enjoying this brilliant interview. Excellent stuff, many thanks.
Thanks Glenn. Douglas is a dream to speak to
@@ChrisWillx he was more animated than I've ever seen him!
I think he might have had some wine. Or lots of coffee. Or both.
Notice the humorous tone of the conversation and the hearty laughs shared by these two. You never seem to see this sort of discussion on the left, they are bitter and utterly joyless.

As brilliant as Douglas is, he’s also hilarious! Wildean wit with keen observation. A man who we need to listen to more so now than ever. This is why these podcasts are extremely important...don’t watch ITV or the BBC and seek out informative content yourself!
This is just the most wonderful conversation - informative and intellectually captivating, seed planting and nurturing, and the conversing relationship of these two is full of wit - elevating each other beautifully
Only with Douglas Murray do I go from a sense of dread about the future of humanity to laughing helplessly, tears coursing down my cheeks. Oh my, the world so needs this great thinker
"I'm mainly against it"
That was so British.

Wisdom explained in the first 45 seconds. Thanks Douglas Murray. Brilliant man.
