Love Douglas Murray, the most insightful political commentator of our time. What clarity of observation, analysis and intellect!
I used to think that. Not anymore
@@burtdandy5755What changed your mind
@@burtdandy5755 Have you caught homophobia? Or perhaps leftism? It can be difficult to discriminate between them.
He is brilliant. Love Douglas. Very intelligent man.
@@GeorgePrice-wf5lx Nope I dress neither left or right - I hand down the middle The gay thing is an observation, regarding certain British gays. They seem to try and act like "You can't tell me anything" but they are little wimps most of them. Murray is a classic example of Smoke and Mirrors = drop a line from a poem, try and speak in a poetic way , etc but its just bluff and nonsense.. Murray , has his little videos in the troubled zones of Israel, of course, he is surrounded by IDF , so nothing will happen to him. The stuff he says is pure right wing talking points, hidden among flowery language. It made me laugh when he commented on Russell Brand , he was so jealous of him, of course, he is Russell is funny, has his own mind and was also friends with Murray's hero - Morrisey. The thing is both Morrissey and brand, both have something e never will, heart . I don't think you would find them two defending what Israel has been up to. To say "the job is only 80% den while speaking about human life, is revolting
Love, love, love Douglas Murray. He gives absolutely no quarter. No waffling, no quibbling, no giving people an easy ride.
The only person getting an easy ride is Douglas. All he does is waffle. He is about as capable of engaging in objective argument as a the intellectual toddler he is. The guy is a demonstrable dunce.
Very accurate description. Thumbs 👍
@@TheAtheist22 Thumbs up what, though? Not Doug, surely? Where is his head going to fit?
@@dragosapina5692 Inane comments.
Douglas is a lifeline to sanity and critical thinking amid the mob mentality and political cowardice that pervades the Western world today. His outspoken fearlessness is so refreshing and inspiring. Enjoyed the probing questions from Josh.
Spot on.
What fearlessness? He's a dunce who just parrots other dunces? He didn't substantiate one point, and if he's been to Israel, he is eithe lying about what he saw or didn't leave his hotel room. Gaza is a prison surrounded by walls, which Palestinians need permission to.leave. This guy is not just a moron, he is a clearly deranged moron who wouldn't know an intellectual discussion if he was hit on the head with it. His whole shtick is to avoid honest discussion
He is a fool. He's not outspoken, he is a cliche
The western world which of course you’re not a member of?
@dragosapina5692 A cliché of what as opposed to outspoken? I have an inkling that you don't comprehend what those two words actually mean.
I agree with everything Douglas says. But only because he's always right.
Yes, of course, but for those of us that aren't so enlightened, or might have missed something, would you be kind enough to provide an example of Doug being right about something and how you came to determine he is in fact right? You know what I mean: what objectively verifiable evidence does Doug provide to substantiate any if his assertions/conclusions. Some people, as you know, just blurt out things they want to be true and know they're going to find agreement amongst those equally eager to have their delusions confirmed, while others know they're lying and intend to deceive their audience. The latter category is particularly devious, as they will lie about the evidence they have, so it's doubly important to ensure they can justify their claims with rationally demonstrated and objectively verifiable facts. Now, I know that anyone interested in and committed to frank and fearless interrogation of facts as Doug is, would never confidently assert something as true without making sure that he is neither influenced by his own preferences and prejudices or being missed. However, I am still missing something and would be grateful to you if you could point to any objectively verifiable (you know, rational) evidence that anything Doug states is objectively right. Anything. It will help me greatly. Thank you soo much
Dunno @drag - Why don't you tell us since you're so well known and worldly wise?
@@TTFN55 Tell you what? I don't know if I'm worldly or wise, well maybe a little, but I am an adult who knows an uniformed moron incapable of engaging in honest, 'fearless' ('Fearless' - that's a joke. All he does is pander to the insecurities of the quivering and frightened who can't go to bed without the light being left on unless they're tucked in with reassurances that they have nothing to fear from ignorance) discussion when I come across one. Doug, should be called Dick. What is there to tell you, except that Doug - Dick isn't telling you anything, cause he couldn't if he wanted to. You don't listen to Dick- Doug because you're interested in facts, but because you're frightened of them. It's like turning to the Bible to learn about evolution: Doughead - Dick not only doesn't know, he doesn't care that he doesn't know because his Dickhead Doug. I don't suppose telling you to get your information from objective, informed sources would help, because it is obvious that anyone who admires Doug's Dicking around isn't an admirerer of being informed
Do you have a patreon?
😂
Thank God we have people like Douglas to speak for the rest of us.👏
For whom?
It’s not his responsibility to do it alone. It takes all of you, all of US to say what is right, what is true, even if that truth cuts your soul. The truth is the truth. The good thing about life is that you’re alive and you can change your perspective.
Yes so there is ray of hope and light… more Douglas’s needed
@@dragosapina5692 Also for YOU (you will have developed enough common sense to approve, won't you?)
They could have another Singapore…..
I can listen to Douglas every day. Straight forward morals.
What's wrong with you? Wouldn't you rather listen to someone who has a clue?
"Morals'? Fuk!
I never watch 1 hour and half of podcasts/interviews unless it's Douglas Murray
@@SoMeBoDyThatUKnowUS Yeh, I can't believe it either
Same here. The way his speaks is just so captivating. Always makes you think.
We love you Douglas!!!! Douglas is a man with moral clarity! Palestinians = Hamas …. Hamas = Sharia Law….LONG LIVE ISRAEL!!!!!🇮🇱❤️🇮🇱❤️
Yes, Douglas speaks a lot of sense. However, "Palestinians = Hamas" may be a bit of an overgeneralisation. It does have the merit of simplifying the situation and removing a lot of moral ambiguity, but it also suffers from the problem of not bring right.
Yes, but you love him because he reflects your preferred version of reality, right? Not because he engages in the truth. Palestinians = people. Israel is committing genocide before our very eyes. It is an indefensible crime against humanity. In a just world there would be a Nuremberg type trial to bring those responsible for this horror and their enablers to justice. In a just world, consideration wold need to be given to breaking up the state of Israeli in it's current form, cause the name 'Israel' will be forever tainted in history. No matter what the outcome of this nightmare in the short term, the name "Israel' will be a historical byword for unimaginable inhumanity and cruelty on a par with that of the Nazi regime. Who do you think will utter the word "Israel' in the future with anything but contempt? Do you think future? It is already causing disgust amongst young Jewish people in the global community. You may say 'long live Israel', but live with what? Shame?
❤🙌🏻🇮🇱🙌🏻THANK YOU DOUGLAS GOD BLESS U 🙌🏻 🙏 🔥✝️🕊🛐🙌🏻🇮🇱🙌🏻
@@catzzzvd2635 I spoke to God yesterday, and he told me he's blocked Doug's number
Retribution?! I thought we did that already by dissolving slavery. What was UNICEF, save the children and CARE? I think we've given enough already. If you want more go open a 'Go Fund me' account. I live in London where I've always worked under unskilled, uncertified, inexperienced managers of African, Indian, and Arab backgrounds, if not recently immigrated, half my age.
I loved that warm welcome for Douglas Murray in Australia. He's reaching all of the English speaking world and, I hope, beyond that too. We sure need him now.
And Israel! Such a powerful voice for them as well, for sure!
Very much Israel ❤, 🇮🇱.... He is a hero, educating the world on things about Israel and the whole civilization.
Thank god for Douglas Murray. We need more like him
Look, as an atheist all I ask is can we start by thanking his parents? Then, afterwards you can take it how far you'd like, all the way to whichever god or spaghetti monster you'd like
@@B01There you go! A prime example of cancel-culture in your words. Live and let live!
Yes, Jenny, thank God for Douglas Murray and thank God for YOU for having wisdom.
Yes I couldn't agree more. There's no one else like Douglas.
The world needs more Douglas Murray
Imagine what the world can look like if more people like Douglas were leading it
Brilliant. Murray is a rare embodiment of outstanding "common sense".
Douglas murray is an absolute legend.
Douglas Murray represents the very best of the British. ❤
Yes, but thank god the younger generation is improving
@@dragosapina5692unfortunately, recent events showing that younger generation is actually intellectually degenerated which doesn't understand even basic logic
He is a star!
@@dragosapina5692younger generation in current time showing moral and intellectual degeneration.
Yes nothing to be proud of. Britain can honour he'll. Its caused trauma for centuries on other nations - read the history
I spent a year in Australia as an exchange student. I realised then that people there are so naive. You have not experienced war or conflict and it shows. The questions here were infantile. I am African. We know better and particularly with Islamic extremism
Totally agree. The questions are so naive they border on outright rudeness.
so... to help us out could you give two or three examples of 'grown up' questions
@tgward313 I love Australians and mean no disrespect. I admire the host for going against the grain. However, you cannot look at a conflict through rose tinted glasses. They are brutal, horrifying, and pretending that is not the case does not help
@@wannenburgg I don't think they are pretending anything
@tgward313 They may not think they do. However, from the age of 19 I was monitoring violence in South Africa. I saw dead bodies every day. An average of 7000 people were killed per week. That is why I am saying that the experience molds you. It has not affected our government as they were in exile. They never experienced it.
Agree with all DMurray said, he’s helping western Nations to wakeup n do something to avoid Islam Ideology around the world, with their logistical attempts, we stand with Israel 🇮🇱 from NZ 🙏🫶💙
no, he really isn't
@@dragosapina5692troll much? 😂😂😂🤡
@@GrumpleSenior I think you might want to learn the meaning of that word. Disagreeing with your opinion is not trolling, it is the kind of free and sincere discussion this offensive knuckle dragging child pretends to engage in.
Douglas Murray is a breath of fresh air who is never afraid to speak up for what he believes in. He is a man of truth, enlightment and intellect. We need more people like him.💕
Douglas Murray is the man for our time..! Smart, insightful & erudite 🇬🇧
As usual a conversation with a breath of fresh air with Mr Douglas Murray
Brilliant!...as always. Thank you Josh for having Douglas as a guest. His closing chat reminded me of a verse I remember from the 50's: ''Your life lies before you, like a sheet of driven snow, be careful how you tread it, for every mark will show''...!
Yet again another wonderful meeting with Mr Murray, what a truly amazing man. 🙏🇮🇱
'Amazing' doesn't begin to cover it. 'Unbelievable' is more accurate. I'm not religious, but I think I need to pray
@@dragosapina5692ok this is getting weirdly personal. I’m done feeding it. I had fun
Thank you God for Douglas Murray. He is brilliant and courageous.
Hearing Douglas always restores my faith in humanity, that there are good sensible people that have courage and integrity. This was such a great discussion. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing this. Douglas Murray is just brilliant!
Thank God for Douglas Murray.
I wish I could think as clearly as Douglas. He is sharp as a tack!
Same!!!
Went to the Adelaide show. Great to hear Douglas speak. Acid sense of humour and brilliant, intelligent man.
Fielding questions in open debate and responding with honesty, clarity, forthrightness, knowledge, and good humour is the antithesis of those who seek vociferously to denounce, to silence, to "cancell" those they oppose. Douglas Murray is a man of stature.
What?
but all he does is cancel, silence and denounce. He is the antithesis of rational discussion. No fact is convenient
@@dragosapina5692thanks for your steady stream of garbage.
May I respectfully suggest to "Dragosapina" ( though I must say that I am wary of those who mask their identity behind curious pseudonyms ) that he, she or "it" read more ( and cross-reference!), and tweet less Self-opinions are all well and good, but facts matter.
@@williamsnowden8186 - Drag appears to believe he's entitled to his own facts and has such an overabundance of them that he in compelled to share them. Just so you know, YT has canceled me so many times I'm having to get creative with my username. I really liked GuyFawkes too! My birthday, bonfire night in the UK, election day 2024 in the US and a day that will live in infamy all rolled into one propitious date!
Thank God for Douglas
What a wonderful conversation, I think everyone who has thirst for doing the right things for next generations’s future, a must watch and listen to this. Excellent as usual. Thank you Mr Murray What joy to listen to you. Thank you anchor….Thank you Josh…….❤️🙏❤️
Douglas keeps me sane in these times!
You might consider getting a second opinion.
Yes!!!!!
Fantastic conversation!
I,ve listened to countless talks and interviews with Douglas Murray . I never get tired . Truly brilliant , insightful and fearless .
Ditto!
Every speech by Douglas is a mix of history teaching, stand-up comedy, and philosophy. If I wanted to start commenting on each sentence this evening that made me laugh, rethink, or loudly agree, this text would be endless. Thanks, Douglas, as always for your courage. It's always a blessing.
Nobody seems to remember all the people in Gaza cheering when dead girls were driven around in the back of trucks. Those people weren’t Hamas. They were Palestinians.
Sad, but true. People need to stop allowing themselves to be gaslit by Hamas and their sympathizers.
This interviewer needs to be schooled! Every sentence from Douglas is the spot on and worth gold ! Audience is appreciating DM and responding so well 💙
What is one thing he is 'spot on', about? An audience of idiots is always going to respond well to an idiot who affirms them in their idiocy
There is nothing provocative about Douglas. Just common sense.
Precious Douglas Murray
A hero of our time
God, lets hope not
Bravo! Douglas the most honest man alive!❤
He is a liar
Absolutely, he put out true which some people trying to hide or ignore
@araxonUK Not exactly. Douglas' area of interest isn't related to that of those interested in an inquiry into truth or objective reality. He would be the first to be surprised if anyone concerned with philosophical concerns of that type, even considered his interests as related to theirs. Doug is putting something out there, but whether it is true or not is irrelevant to his objectives, as long as it achieves its ends. Neithe interested in phenomeology nor epistimology, Doug belongs to a completely different discipline: self deluded moron
Keep speaking the truth Douglas
Murray is absolutely right 💯
Re Doug Murray - How refreshing to have a man with complete moral clarity and lucidity of thought...a rare breed in today's dazed and confused culture.
Douglas are our man !
What a master of explaining the most complex issues. Quietly, methodically, brilliantly. If anybody can change any minds - it’s Douglas.
I enjoyed Douglas Murray - he’s brilliant, eloquent, funny as usual. I would like to compliment the host - Josh - whom I heard for the first time. Excellent interviewer: gives space to the speaker, asks challenging enough questions, and last but not least - his voice, OMG, so captivating - I don’t mind listening to him even if he reads aloud recipes 😊
Thank you for sharing the intelligence of Murray with the rest of the world.
Douglas is brilliant.
Spot on Mr Murray. The gap gets wider.
Honest. Integrity. Well informed. Rational.
Man. That is the saddest thing I have heard this week. You really need help if you think there was anything informed, rational or even close to having integrity about that twit. Talk about the decline of civilisation. If that idiot passes for informed and rational, we have fallen beyond the point of no return.
Very grateful for Douglas Murray
❤THANK YOU DOUGLAS MURRAY 🙌🏻🇮🇱🙌🏻 FROM SOUTH AFRICA
YES, Thank you Douglas. The ANC are common criminals
More people like Douglas Murray
Thank you Douglas Murray for being spot on. Bless you 🇮🇱❤🇮🇱.
Brilliant as usual and thanks to his mum and dad for bringing him into the world .
When a brilliant mind becomes a new-age ROCK STAR🌟
No, he's less of a new age rock star than a prehistoric brick
I don’t get the demand on Israel to know or plan “the day after” in Gaza Did the Brits plan for the day after WWII ended?
its not a war. Its a genocide. Britain didn't win WWII and subsequently did whatever their masters, the USA, told them to do - including get out of India and dismantle the empire. Similarly, what Israel gets away with is what the USA tolerate
douglas speaking facts and basic common sense 👍💪
That was a wonderful interaction, well worth the two hours.
Thank God for Douglas Murray and his clarity and brilliance.
So many arm chair politicians! Ya’all need to get out there and find out the facts! Brilliant informative discussion as always! Thanks Douglas.
What a wondrous human being is Douglas Murray. The ideas, the morals, the insights, the intellect the common sense the experiences the student of the past all these things are encompassed within one man. He is just a wonder!!!!!!!
Douglas is stunningly eloquent and brilliant. He helps fill the yawning hole left by the late, great Hitch.
Hitch? They couldn't be more different
Way more knowledgeable and and open minded than Hitch
@@carsandsports123 Yes, you'd think that if you could think. Keep knocking the rocks together
Incredibly clear-eyed. And has the courage to articulate obvious observations.
Spot on Douglas put Josh straight. Josh hasn't got a clue.
Love Douglas Murray ..Thank you for the courage & integrity 🙏💕..
Regardless of how I'm feeling about the state of tbe Western world, I always fee much better after listening to the wonderful Douglas Murray.
I love hearing and watching Douglas Murray.
Douglas Murray keeps us all sane. He is the lodestar.
Great questions and great answers by Douglas. This was a great listen. Thank you
He reaches Canada too. Ty❤❤❤❤ for Douglas who is always a fountain full of truths and faces the tough questions like no other! You are a breath of beautiful fresh air, in these times of so much persecution. I STAND WITH ISRAEL.❤ FROM 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦
Douglas Murray is loaded with intelligence & knowledge that I doubt if there are many Israelis with such knowledge. Well done Douglas 👍👏👏
Thank you for an amazing conversation!
Douglas Murray is the best smart and truthful.
Thanks Douglas. I love what you are trying to do for future generations.
A two state solution is utterly unworkable, as the majority of Arabs living in both Gaza and West Bank believe that the Zionists established the Jewish state illegitimately - meaning that Roman & Ottoman 'Palestine' - belong to Arabs not Jews. Therefore they have rejected every effort by intermediates to establish a two state solution. Both West Bank and Gaza should be fully incorporated within Israel. Any Arab wishing to abide by Jewish rule and law would be welcome. On the other side of the a one state solution; i.e. Arabs live as Israeli citizens would also not work as the population explosion amongst Palestinian Arabs would ensure that Jews will very rapidly become a minority within Israel - which as it stands will not find favour amongst Israeli's. So the only way forward is that Arabs return to their original states - and incentives be provided to make that transition possible. Outside of that, the outcome of the war must decide who own the territory. Based on the economic success of Isreal verses the dismal failure of the Gaza - its pretty clear to deserves to own and manage the territory.
Douglas is excellent as always! I’d love to get his take on the recent Iranian attack on Israel.
I'll save the hassle, he supports Israel.
Thank you, Douglas Murray! Speak the truth!
Insightful as ever Mr Murray
The Palestinians have a state. It’s called Jordan
Love Douglas Murray!! So well read, knowledgeable and educated. Never talks of things he hasn’t studied or researched. ❤
DM an absolute Legend
I keep hearing that line about slavery in the modern world.. "there are more slaves now than there has ever been in human history.." Where are the politicals on this? Where are the news articles? Where is the media? In an educated discussion, how can that be a throwaway line?
Because to deal with the slavery that exists today - ten million in Africa alone- would take work. Much easier to demand reparations for past ills.
Thanks for the share!
As has been said time and time again….if reparations are wanted you need to start with the source and that is Africa. The Portuguese weren’t running around with huge butterfly nets capturing Africans, they stumbled upon an established slave trade that had already been going for hundreds of years.
I would like to share this to those I know who are pro Palestinian...but I know very well that would be the end of the friendships :(
You are not alone. Stay strong!
I've already lost friends so they're really not friends
Stop be friends with them
It’s been an eye opener. I have distanced myself from those who refuse have an honest discussion but spout catchphrases and rhetoric aligning with their tribe.
Why would that be? Doug is only endorsing the mass slaughter and genocide of Palestinian people. Surely it would be unreasonable of them to disagree with him
What a Star
The production of this show is fantastic, the clarity of the voices is spot on , oh Murray as always is brilliant 🧐☝️
Here is THE MAN,sent by G_d!!! A mother who born this man is blessed!🙌
Thank you, Douglas!
Great to listen to Douglas, and the love and respect expressed towards him in the comment’s.
Thank you Douglas Murray....an intellectual giant with a great moral compass...Your kind is what the world needs at such a time like this...
The way that I would respond to Chuck Schulmer would be to ask him about the proportionality of the response to September 11. The US wanted revenge and to try and prevent another attack, so went to war in a country that was sheltering OBL. The allies of the US were resolute and supported them in their efforts. Afterwards, I would ask him if there were any parallels that could be drawn between the two situations.
Douglas Murray the Voice of truth and reason..🙏🙏🙏 💙🇮🇱🇭🇲
Legend. Was great meeting you both in Perth 🙌🍻
Douglas you are gorgeous ❤
Loved the video and the new filming techniques are groundshaking 😂
You’re amazing covering even the last round following a tough draw. Thank you for all you do!
I’m so glad you brought up the pandemic as an example of something you hadn’t dived into enough at the time, and now have different views on, Douglas. What shocked - and terrified - me during the pandemic is how many countries, governments, and (educated) people swallowed the same false narrative. Tragically it is not over. Although the truth is slowly allowed to be said, nobody has taken responsibility …law suits are not being won, people are dying on a large scale especially in countries where vaccinations were administered to large numbers of the population. I love listening to you; your interests and knowledge are divers and extensive. You love the truth. Maybe truth on this matter will appeal to you somewhere in the future? I'd love to hear it.
Ma’am please take your conspiracy theory ass out of this discussion- people WERE dying due to the virus, thanks to the vaccine the odds of getting infected and dying are extremely low! I have friends who are suffering from long term Covid, and others who lost family members who refused to get vaccinated.
Douglas Murray is a star.
A delight listening to this man.
