First, we have amazing folks helping with this podcast, and they might make mistakes sometimes, as do all of us. Thanks for your understanding on that. Second, Niall Ferguson is a great historian, please check out his work and his conversation with me:    • Niall Ferguson: History of Money, Pow...

I love the fact that Douglas will not under any circumstance stand down from answering as truthfully as possible. One really gets to known him here, if we care to listen. Maybe even credits to lex here for being cheeky at times to distill it even further for us ! Sorry for the abysmal language, I come from Germany

Not since the passing of Christopher Hitchens have I listened to such a fearless truth and sense talker as Douglas Murray. I find his relative youth comforting and hope he lives a long and healthy life as he massively needed.

Lex it’s a year later please have Douglas back. IMHO there’s no better interviewer or interviewee

The more I listen to ‘Douglas Murray’, the more books I add to my library… as he weaves references to them in the way they’ve informed his worldview.

Lex managed to get more out of Douglas than I’ve seen from any other interviewer or podcaster. A joy to listen to. Respect to both gentlemen.

I know I'm a little late to the conversation here, but as someone who was in a PhD program headed toward a CRT-type dissertation--and so gratefully thankful that that path didn't pan out--I can say with total truth that Murray is absolutely right about academic "activists" who push these ideologies out into society mostly for the benefit of furthering their branding within a career--tenure, book deals, speaking tours, pensions, and paying off sh!tloads of the student-loan debt they undertook to do this. Not to mention a practically self-serving idea of "changing things for the better"--well intended as they may think they're being--but it's mostly for the betterment of themselves. Genuine thirst for knowledge and truth--even when it's inconvenient--go out the window in favor of, perhaps not ill-intended, but nonetheless practical selfishness and positioning of themselves as "better" or "smarter" than "the masses." That ivory-tower thing is very real.

Douglas Murray is the greatest social commentator of my lifetime. I wish we had his equal (or near equal) in the US.

Excellent and important conversation. And yes, we each have the right to "talk about whatever the hell we want to talk about".

Douglas is amazing. I could listen to him for hours. He so casually flows between history, philosophy, and searing critiques, all in an endless tango with sophisticated humor and wit.

This guy is "on another level" ... Top notch podcast. No bullshit, no fear, searching for approval, just pure facts and truth.

(27:05) "I have the right to talk about whatever the hell I want, and no one gonna stop me or intimidate me or tell me that I can't simply because of my skin color". Well, he hit the nail in the head. Bravo.

"I drink vodka and I hang with the peasants." Lex's sense of humor really has come a long way.

Absolute gentlemen, both. If only such video conversations were played and discussed as a basis for school education.

What I loved most about this was watching two people whom I greatly admire betray their obvious friendship, admiration, love, and acceptance of one another, especially near the end. Damn it, I enjoyed this whole interview so much. Thank you.

Easily the best interview with Douglas Murray that I have seen. Many others just seem to ask him the same scripted questions. Lex asks some unique ones.

Murray is by far the intellectual I admire the most in the current landscape.
