'God did this so that they would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from any one of us. For in Him we live and move and have our being.' Acts 17v27-28
Frankly most people think reasonably or somewhat moderately like this. We are talking about political minorities that control the media, and corporations that bend the knee to communist Chinese views for money, and thus control the perception. It's reaching a boiling point where more and more people are realizing what this is, I feel, but a lot of damage has already been done/continues to be done. Many people have left the woke movement and continue to do so in increasing numbers, after they realize it has become a pseudo-religion (and especially after their city gets burned down).

There are other voices, thank the gods. One of those voices is Professor Jordan Peterson. If you don't know of him yet, check him out I'm sure you would like him. Quite apart from anything else he has a towering intellect and a well developed sense of humour, sorely needed these days.
If even a small part of the hype about breakthroughs in medical research and longevity research is true, then you're not even over the hill yet. 🙃There's still a good chance you'll be around for that book and even get a signed copy of it.
Peter Robinson is the best interviewer around. There is no one better at teasing out and promoting rich discussion such as this. Thank you Peter and please continue your work 👍
Yeah I just still don't understand the "game is rigged" stuff. There are very good jobs out there that are increasingly going unfilled. Jobs that will absolutely get you into the six figure bracket in a decade. I have a young immigrant kid across the street from me who is balling out working construction. His parents still can't speak English but they did well after immigrating and there kid has pandemic proof employment, a house in his early 20's, a nice truck, etc. He's doing better than some people almost twice his age nowhere near paying off school debt while justifying an $1800/month one room apartment in a declining city.
douglas is pretty on point. i appréciate his words. but he seems to not réalise his beautiful europe actually plundered and pillage much of the world, made themselves rich of the resources of others then when those oppressed people need help or want to move because of their own economic problems he says no stay there. dont come here we dont need you anymore. not to mention he seem to think that europe invited people over to do jobs then they should have sent them back.. its like dude come on.. you use a people struggling whom you have spent hundreds of years subjugating then when they come to you for help you get mad. granted he représente a small fraction of this mentality in europe but it comes across as very bigoted. and i know he is not..

I feel helpless to the fact that my daughters have been taught to believe this ludicrous 'social justice' is the way to be a moral person. I am grateful to watch this video as I am realizing I was not the one that is going crazy.
The idiotic thing about this revenge is that these individuals never suffered the things they are seeking revenge for. So who are they seeking revenge for - because it wasn't them that suffered. It's an imaginary feeling that they are sating because they have no right to seek retribution often on the behalf of people that are no longer alive and didn't bequeath their feelings as a legacy.
Indeed. That can be said of many a person, commentator, comic or intellectual. It's interesting to see their journey from, say, stand-up somewhere to vociferous and even slightly-scared champion who knows they have publically burnt their boats. One that can never go back now to the place they started from.
If you watch a MMA fight with a "transitioned" female, you'll realize just how hard it is to watch. There's no achievement there, it's just a horror show for whoever the natural female in the ring is. Just a man beating the shit out of a woman.
Thank Man for giving you the god you thank, Douglas has more courage, and wisdom, than the imaginary monster of an iron age book written for gullible, illiterate, goat hearders.
Douglas Murray and Jordon Peterson co-existing in these dark times is no coincidence. The sane world truly needs them for the pushback against insanity and lies and a return to truth and reality. They are leaders of reason when the world is only coming to understand what the dystopian version of an applied fake reality really looks like after the initial shock.
I love Douglas Murray. I especially love the fact that he can no longer hold back. He's angry. But, importantly, he is as clear and vital as ever. Also, big thanks to Peter Robinson for his unmatched ability as an interviewer.
Fantastic. I've listened to lots of Douglas' interviews about The Madness of Crowds, and as time has passed his distaste for all the various wokisms has become more pronounced, and rightly so. It is a joy to hear someone present what is so obviously true so eloquently. Even the wokists know they're fighting against truth, that's why they become so angry, because it doesn't matter how intellectual or abstract your concepts are, the truth does not change.
I'd consider a counter-argument here. Ever considered 'they' don't consider themselves as fighting against any fixed 'truth' but rather they may be coming from the point of view that the 'truth' they are being fed is a creation of systems/hierarchies/people over time and are subject not only to change but should be reset and reinvestigated in a 'progressive' manner? Its not a new thing, itsa pretty old concept going all the way back to before the Bolsheviks but here it is. It's that process is actively taught in the Universities at the undergrad level and given terms like 'post-modern' and 'progressive' and young students with very little grasps on the traditional concepts they have just been exposed to are then told to deconstruct them and subject them to dogmatic screening for acceptance into the good graces of their peers.
Even if you have deeply investigate a swamp, you’d only start to notice the amount of rot once you repeatedly and critically describe it. The constellation of smaller “gross” or “immoral” thoughts, into a larger unified system shows itself as you converse, thus bringing the full abomination closer and clearer into view
I have been listening to Douglas Murray all day today. Starting with his interview with Caroline Glick. He is incredibly logical, wise. I am now an avid fan.
Tomboys are simply girls who enjoy the company of boys and young men as well as the sports over dealing with gossiping drama addicted girls. They usually only have one or two female friends that can easily relate to them and that are not like the other girls. Tomboys don't all want to be boys, they simply enjoy their logistical mindset, their fun personalities.
I'm one of those 48% of current (and former) Trump voters that voted for him both times in order to show I do not approve of the toxic leftist cancel culture PC crap. And I have a feeling that's the biggest motivation for most Trump supporters
I've been on a Douglas Murray binge all November, now December. This interview did not disappoint, but at this point I'd watch him read the dictionary 😊
The idea you'd punish the least sexist, least racist group of people in history for the benefit of those who've faced the least sexism and racism is reprehensible. It can only lead to a society shredding conflict... which appears to be what they want.
I think you are correct. You don't drive down this particular road unless you expect a battleground at the end. The question is, why do the Left seek war?
I swear Douglas Murray is my spirit animal (no insult intended). He verbalizes eloquently what i think about our societal madness. Helps me to know there are others cut from the same cloth. must be something to do with being born before 1990.
The guy is a prophet and a leader. Douglas Murray brings observations and insights that are indispensable if we are going to survive this totalitarian Leftist tsunami.
We have DEEP societal issues right now. We desperately need more people like Douglas willing to tear into it and treat it with the contempt it deserves.
You are absolutely right!! This is all about wasting our time, distracting us and not allowing us to focus and really improve all life. Divide and conquer.
Whenever I listen to Douglas Murray speaking about the current state of America and the West, I am reminded of the words of author Theodore Dalrymple (a.k.a Dr. Anthony Daniels): “Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.”
This is why the current globalist worldwide power-grab (on the pretext of virus) is succeeding. There is no-one left in any position of responsibility in any western country who has any moral fibre.
You are describing the scene right out of "1984" when Winston is forced to say 2+2 is not equal to 4, but whatever Big Brother says it is. I experience the same in "Diversity and Inclusion" meetings.
“An existence like this leaves its mark. We all become slightly unbalanced mentally - not exactly ill, but not normal either: suspicious, mendacious, confused and inhibited in our speech, at the same time putting on a show of adolescent optimism. What value can such people have as witnesses? The elimination of witnesses was, indeed, part of the whole program.” -Nadezhda Mandelstam on life in 1930s USSR
Several thoughts on this interview 1. Peter Robinson's preparation for these interviews is outstanding. He actually reads the books, asks great questions and has the perfect mix between speaking/listening. 2. Douglas Murray has the magical ability to take the issues that we know are wrong but we don't have the ability to accurately articulate the problem. 3. In this Woke world of cancel culture, you have to give Murray a great deal of credit for speaking out. His harsh views on BLM, George Floyd and big tech companies takes a tremendous amount of courage. 4. The only issue I have with Douglas Murray is latest conversations are too much on LGBTQ. I want him to speak more about US race issues, biased world media and the wokeness of major corporations.
What a huge pleasure. Mr Robnson, an interviewer par excellence who demonstrates a deft skill lacking in most others. And then Douglas Murray! He speaks for me and expresses the views and fears that I have witnessed for some twenty years.
All I can say is THANK YOU, Douglas Murray (and Peter Robinson for a great interview)! You've explained what it is that I've suspected is ailing our world today, but couldn't put into words. You will help me and many others to participate in being a growing voice of reason in a world going mad.
I fully agree with Douglas on his last point. We have to start doing things ourselves and not waiting for a sort of hero, a leader, a messianic figure, whatever you want to call it, to come along and save us from ourselves. Another great interview of Peter as always! I love the Peter and Douglas conversations the most, very insightful and interesting.
Apart from his decency, his incisive intellect shines through....we are lucky to have big Doug to negotiate this difficult terrain on our behalf and reveal the sinister agendas that oft lurks behind them....
Compare this to over 500 witnesses to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. St Paul later wrote that most were still alive (they could be interviewed). The leaders went to their deaths asserting the death for our sins, burial & resurrection in glory of our Savior. The New Testament Book of Luke is history based on first hand witness and "many proofs". I encouraged all to read the Book of John & Luke.
I genuinely admire this man I will forever thank God for giving us a courageous mind to defend our right of freedom against these totalitarian minds and their diabolical agenda
The Hoover Institution is doing an incredible job with these interviews. This guy asks the best possible questions which lead to the most interesting interviews.
too bad he said absolute falsehoods regarding Macron's politics, Douglas corrected him gently, but he was completely wrong, about the chain of events, the declarations and Turkey , and the state of the catholic church in France , 66% of the population is atheist, churches are empty. it was shocking. I'm not sure I'm going to trust that guy in the future , these were basic political informations and facts.
Can't get enough interviews with Douglas Murray. It's like earning a PhD every time I listen to him. Wish he had one of those contests where the prize was to have dinner with him or win a weekend with him at some chateau sitting around talking all day.
Very good. I loved this. I was, and still am at age 52, a real tomboy. I have a very masculine outlook and way of thinking. Never felt comfortable being 'girly'. I 'grew up' to be bisexual and clearly physically female. Growing up now, I am horrified to think that some boyish girls will be convinced by peer groups that they are in fact trans. It's absolute nonsense. No one can be 100% sure of their sexuality and gender until much, much, MUCH older
Couldn’t leave this brilliant interview for a minute...I greatly respect both these men. If their intellect was more widespread, the world would be a better place to live
It's just different angles of Anti-Traditionalism. They take positions that normal people are forced to be opposed to and then prosecute them for opposing them.
Isn't is interesting that "conveniently" just when people were getting along, certain "fragile and volatile groups" have been spurred to action and the coals of discomfort have been stoked into flames of dissention? Those who believe this is happenstance are confused and those that think it is the natural order are truly lost.
Thankfully there is a venue for a smart, calm and methodical conversation about things that cannot be openly discussed but are percolating under the surface at all times.
I appreciate the way Douglas Murray has placed his book on the table behind him, just a subtle plug for his new book. Whereas other writers will have their book front jacket facing the camera or multiple copies. Respect
This is an excellent discourse of our current state... Where most countries in the western world find themselves. Douglas Murray is a true intellect and his depth of knowledge gives him a legitimacy that not many have earned. It's not just his depth of knowledge, but also his wonderful ability to communicate, that puts him head and shoulders above many current intellectuals. I really enjoyed this! Well worth watching!
At last, someone who tells it how it is and so nice to listen to someone i can fully agree with. Sanity with Douglas and over a million views can`t be wrong. Thanks for this.
So, so, good. I haven’t watched mainstream television in a long time. Thank you for making this available and I appreciate you NOT censoring so I can make my own choice. Thank you!
Douglas Murray is just brilliant. To listen to him is amazing. My mind jumps for joy at his logic. So completely reasonable and powerfully truthful. We need your voice Murray.
Very great interview and much appreciated. I'm so impressed by his " Uncommon knowledge"👏. It is my honor to have grown up in a "saner world" of the 1940-60s in Traditional Catholicism. After studying the Holy Scriptures for 50 years, I feel like I'm on solid ground because I stand on the solid rock Jesus Christ. All my family left Christ after schooling in university and turned to Marxism. I am 73 and sad for this world but pray and stand up for God's Truth. I just won't leave Him. He's my hope, consolation and my Savior. I'm am a sinner, flawed and groping for true love, honesty and truth. Dear Lord Jesus, have mercy on us. Jesus, I trust in You!
Absolutely brilliant - this should be compulsory listening at every university- thank you for this informative interview. I just ordered 2 copies of the book. One for my 18yo grandson.
Fantastic interview. I am not afraid of my woke family calling me horrible names after having sacrificed all for them in the name of unconditional love. Even after 35 years of marriage my husband is lost in their disrespect by keeping silent. My faith in Jesus Christ comforts me. Thank you.
LOVE Douglas Murray. Thank you Mr. Robinson for your very interesting conversations with interesting people. There are so few of these platforms left like this. Much appreciated and what a great service and record of current culture trends this has provided to the world.
Absolutelyt brilliant. The interviewer makes CERTAIN that Douglas Murray's thoughts are the focus of this interview, which is how it should be. Thank you.

I’ve never seen Douglas so angry as of late. He’s gone from 100% passion to 110% !!
He’s under more and more desperate attack by deranged leftist cultists
Let’s face it, he’s got good reason to be angry!
And rightly so
He's also getting shredded.

All I can say is THANK YOU, Douglas Murray (and Peter Robinson for a great interview)! You've explained what it is that I've suspected is ailing our world today, but couldn't put into words. You will help me and many others to participate in being a growing voice of reason in a world going mad.
This Tomboy has grown up to be a fantastically wonderful heterosexual Woman. Thank you for speaking Truth!
Thankyou for rejecting the stereotype molds of gender identity.
How is he so eloquent? He finds just the right words.
I fully agree with Douglas on his last point. We have to start doing things ourselves and not waiting for a sort of hero, a leader, a messianic figure, whatever you want to call it, to come along and save us from ourselves. Another great interview of Peter as always! I love the Peter and Douglas conversations the most, very insightful and interesting.
I've come to the same conclusion, but what can we do? Response to people on Facebook? Yell at people on the street?
We urge for people with critical thinking - we are about to reach a tipping point.
Brilliant interview. The host asked the right questions and the guest had superb answers.
Douglas is magnificent
Believe me, we ARE ashamed of SF, Portland, and Seattle
This is what the internet was made for. So happy to see logical reasoning is still alive and healthy in our highest institutions.
Apart from his decency, his incisive intellect shines through....we are lucky to have big Doug to negotiate this difficult terrain on our behalf and reveal the sinister agendas that oft lurks behind them....
Douglas says what I want to say, but I couldn’t form the sentences, brilliant man , love listening over again.
Excellent, EXCELLENT interview. Thank you so much for this liberal dose of sense and truth. Very impressed with this Murray guy.
Refreshing to see I'm not completely off my rocker, he has a gift for putting complex societal issues into a simple to grasp context.thank you.
"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." ('1984', George Orwell).
Compare this to over 500 witnesses to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. St Paul later wrote that most were still alive (they could be interviewed). The leaders went to their deaths asserting the death for our sins, burial & resurrection in glory of our Savior. The New Testament Book of Luke is history based on first hand witness and "many proofs". I encouraged all to read the Book of John & Luke.
@@lindaanderson1016 Christ is King, woman! Amen! Thank you for that.
Thank you for the Interview of the most reasonable public intellectual of current Europe.
I genuinely admire this man
I will forever thank God for giving us a courageous mind to defend our right of freedom against these totalitarian minds and their diabolical agenda
Gentlemen, thank YOU BOTH, for these conversations!
If I were gay I'd totally fall for Douglas Murray. He's a fantastic human being.
I just love Douglas Murray. Thank you DM for helping to keep us sane!
The Hoover Institution is doing an incredible job with these interviews. This guy asks the best possible questions which lead to the most interesting interviews.
Try to find some interviews where Hoover interviews Thomas Sowell
I can almost guarantee it won't disappoint; Sowell's an intellectual fucking Titan!
too bad he said absolute falsehoods regarding Macron's politics, Douglas corrected him gently, but he was completely wrong, about the chain of events, the declarations and Turkey , and the state of the catholic church in France , 66% of the population is atheist, churches are empty. it was shocking. I'm not sure I'm going to trust that guy in the future , these were basic political informations and facts.
Absolutely......
(1:13:50) "Don't wait for someone else to permit you to think" ...amen!
AGREE
Can't get enough interviews with Douglas Murray. It's like earning a PhD every time I listen to him. Wish he had one of those contests where the prize was to have dinner with him or win a weekend with him at some chateau sitting around talking all day.
Very good. I loved this. I was, and still am at age 52, a real tomboy. I have a very masculine outlook and way of thinking. Never felt comfortable being 'girly'. I 'grew up' to be bisexual and clearly physically female. Growing up now, I am horrified to think that some boyish girls will be convinced by peer groups that they are in fact trans. It's absolute nonsense. No one can be 100% sure of their sexuality and gender until much, much, MUCH older
Couldn’t leave this brilliant interview for a minute...I greatly respect both these men. If their intellect was more widespread, the world would be a better place to live
I love the courage of this man
It's just different angles of Anti-Traditionalism. They take positions that normal people are forced to be opposed to and then prosecute them for opposing them.
"tyranny of the mob", in this country we say no to tyranny, anyone that respects freedom, should be absolutely against mob mentality.
Douglas Murray is a brilliant man.
Isn't is interesting that "conveniently" just when people were getting along, certain "fragile and volatile groups" have been spurred to action and the coals of discomfort have been stoked into flames of dissention? Those who believe this is happenstance are confused and those that think it is the natural order are truly lost.
"How did this happen?" Answer: By design.
Thankfully there is a venue for a smart, calm and methodical conversation about things that cannot be openly discussed but are percolating under the surface at all times.
I appreciate the way Douglas Murray has placed his book on the table behind him, just a subtle plug for his new book.
Whereas other writers will have their book front jacket facing the camera or multiple copies.
Respect
Dougla Murry, a dynamically reasoned voice who seems to have "picked up the gauntlet"...he's on fire!!!
This is an excellent discourse of our current state... Where most countries in the western world find themselves. Douglas Murray is a true intellect and his depth of knowledge gives him a legitimacy that not many have earned. It's not just his depth of knowledge, but also his wonderful ability to communicate, that puts him head and shoulders above many current intellectuals. I really enjoyed this! Well worth watching!
At last, someone who tells it how it is and so nice to listen to someone i can fully agree with. Sanity with Douglas and over a million views can`t be wrong. Thanks for this.
So, so, good. I haven’t watched mainstream television in a long time. Thank you for making this available and I appreciate you NOT censoring so I can make my own choice. Thank you!
It is wonderful to listen to someone who speaks based on logic and truth.
I find Dr. Murray's candidness refreshing. We need more such conversation. Excellent interview. Thanks to both of you.
I'm not crazy! Needed to hear Douglas Murray today. Thank you!
It's late, I'm tired, so I wondered if I should listen to this. An hour later, I'm so glad I did. Pretty sure I will be listening again.
I could listen to Douglas Murray for hours, thank you for this interview, well done!
Thank you for posting this. In a world that is characterised by growing neuroticism and overall madness it is pure gold.
Douglas Murray is just brilliant. To listen to him is amazing. My mind jumps for joy at his logic. So completely reasonable and powerfully truthful. We need your voice Murray.
Very great interview and much appreciated. I'm so impressed by his " Uncommon knowledge"👏. It is my honor to have grown up in a "saner world" of the 1940-60s in Traditional Catholicism. After studying the Holy Scriptures for 50 years, I feel like I'm on solid ground because I stand on the solid rock Jesus Christ. All my family left Christ after schooling in university and turned to Marxism. I am 73 and sad for this world but pray and stand up for God's Truth. I just won't leave Him. He's my hope, consolation and my Savior. I'm am a sinner, flawed and groping for true love, honesty and truth. Dear Lord Jesus, have mercy on us.
Jesus, I trust in You!
I think Douglass Murray does sprinkle fabulousness and wonderousness everywhere he goes though he would probably think that’s undignified. 😁
What an incredibly intelligent, thought provoking conversation. I plan to read his book.
It's good to hear a wise man speak
Absolutely brilliant - this should be compulsory listening at every university- thank you for this informative interview. I just ordered 2 copies of the book. One for my 18yo grandson.
Reason is like light in the darkness.
"Never have lives less lived been more chronicled" - Dennis Miller
Another great, albeit rambling & jovial, interviewer!.
That's a good quote. I always liked Dennis even though I don't think he's funny.
These people HAVE tried our patience quite long enough. Time for this house of cards to come down.
Murray your sound mind blows me away. Never have I heard such perfect articulated common sense. Bravo 👏
God I love Douglas Murray. And I wish Christopher Hitchens were here.
Peter Robinson is no slouch either.
hitchens met god and god said there is no hitchens anymore
Fantastic interview. I am not afraid of my woke family calling me horrible names after having sacrificed all for them in the name of unconditional love. Even after 35 years of marriage my husband is lost in their disrespect by keeping silent. My faith in Jesus Christ comforts me. Thank you.
Douglas Murray is amazing. I can listen to him speak endlessly 👍🏾
LOVE Douglas Murray. Thank you Mr. Robinson for your very interesting conversations with interesting people. There are so few of these platforms left like this. Much appreciated and what a great service and record of current culture trends this has provided to the world.
"..some of the best minds of our time are talking about lavatory arrangements..." Such a sad and true quote.
Absolutelyt brilliant. The interviewer makes CERTAIN that Douglas Murray's thoughts are the focus of this interview, which is how it should be. Thank you.
