"an uncomfortable alliance with republicans" trump has always enjoyed above 90% approval rating in his party "Hes not part of any broader right wing movement or tendency" except his immigration stance which you agree with, his anti Muslim rhetoric@actions which you agree with, his anti leftist rhetoric which you agree with, his capitalistic stance which you agree with&on&on&on, you would have to be completely delusional to say this what Douglas Murray claim "i see your brand as antithetical to what Donald Trumps policy is" WTF!!!!!!!!!!!! "Borders have not been traditionally seen as a right wing aspect" "Dondald Trump is a person who is difficult to take clear lessons from" HMmmmmmm i wonder why he wont answer whether or not he would vote for Trump "Who are you voting for?" " I dont tell people who to vote for out of principle" he never asked you who you are telling other people to vote for. "why are people of our time finding it so difficult to listen to a contrary opinion? Family cant come together anymore" give me a fucking break dude "quite easily beat Bernie Sanders" there was a nationally coordinated strategy to narrow the field to Biden within one weekend but ok. dont really think thats the full story i cant go on.. if you enjoyed this interview you are dense. THIS IS WHY DONALD TRUMP IS GOOD, BECAUSE IT REVEALS HOW DISGUSTING PEOPLE LIKE DOUGLAS MURRAY ARE.

Sorry disagree with David using analogy of books to be a better salesman. That is a stupid analogy. As an IT person I’ve been recommended lots of books to be a better programmer or analyst. But that isn’t remotely the case of what’s happening with cancel culture. What is happening is mind control and character and thought control of even things that are TOTALLY PERSONAL And private, like political preferences, like moral values, etc. NO boss or company should be in the business of punishing people on those basis. That’s ISNT different than discriminating people based on race, gender, religion, etc.

Actually, discriminating based on ideas and actions isn't discriminating. Its just fairly judging people based on what they do. If I owned a small business, I would have a major preference in hiring non-racist employees for the benefit of my customers and therefore profit. That's not discriminatory, thats an employer demanding basic moral decency from his associates. The only thing one must not tolerate is intolerance itself.

David. I think you are out of touch here. I work at a University and I can tell you that EVERYONE feels the burden of wokeness here, even though we’re still in a super conservative state. Let me give you just one personal experience out of many. We had a Christmas party, which was deemed a holiday party (totally fine) and I was selected to be in charge of the music. Since I was already paying for Pandora I thought, “Easy peasy! I’ll just type in Christmas music and bam! My contribution is done.” BUT NO. It was made abundantly clear that a random playlist would be too risky! God forbid we’d offend someone if a song about Christ started to stream. So what happened? Well, I had to find 2 hours worth of “Christmas” music that didn’t mention anything religious. Jiggle bell only type songs. Fun times! I promise you, stories like this are abundant everywhere and they aggravate a whole hell of a lot of people, including myself.

Hasn't it always been common in America for people to refrain form telling others who they'll vote for? Also, if you ask me, it's perfectly legitimate to tell someone what is wrong to think if that thought is that women are incompetent or something along those lines. And I live in England and I can say first hand that nobody is more afraid of these discussions than white English people. From high school all the way through to university I've witnessed meltdown after meltdown resulting from just the mention of the words 'race' or 'white'. Its actually crazy. England hides from its past by burying it's history of race relations and pretending like the British empire never existed.

I’ve felt it multiple time’s. People always say stuff like “we ended slavery” in response to anything about race in England. Of course this isn’t everyone, most people just keep their mouths shut and some are actually aware/informed, but it is common. I’m not from here and I’ve had friends (black and white) tell me that they’ve only had 3 classes about black history or black people in British history in their entire lives.

I thought the exchange about whether one should have an opinion about who you would vote for in other countries was very revealing- Murray's position is obviously more mature and recognises more appropriately the deep complexity in such decisions and the inappropriate/bordering on disrespectful nature of opining on such questions regarding other people's communities. Pakman's approach I think showed a lack of humility, an improper willingness to speak for others and an undue confidence in full understanding of complex issues- that in my mind is the hallmark of the kind of liberalism that is rooted in self-aggrandisement and naivety. I don't think Pakman neatly fits in that box because he can be sensible in many cases- but he definitely has an unfortunate streak of such thinking.

David is a smart guy but at times I feel that he (purposely?) misses the deeper issues some of his guests are pointing to and kind of hand waves them away. He did the same thing in his conversation with Sam Harris on political correctness and the "woke" left. But David himself has admitted to self censoring because of the blowback he knows he will receive from some of those on the left. If this is the case then the argument that these censorious individuals make up a statistically insignificant portion of the population is meaningless if they are having such an outsized effect on what people are willing to say.

It's crucial to get the meaning of small events right. David used to belittle the criticisms of SJW culture on college campuses by saying "it's just a bunch of kids with pink hair shouting, no one takes them seriously and they are not the left"; well, now the kids have poured into society and we clearly have a problem, and not a word has come out from David about this.

I think you were incredibly fair to Murray, I don't think you went for gotcha moments, it seemed like you genuinely were probing and interested. I do agree with Murray that internationally conservatism cannot be easily compared. In the UK, as much as I despise Boris Johnson and disagree with Tory Policy, the UK Conservative party is probably slightly to the left of US Democrats. You can probably guess, I'm much further to the left than that.

I don’t think its tax fraud. Its simply a peek behind the curtain of how the well to do live, and why our tax code is so complex. Think about it....we could have an incredibly simple tax code based on income of all forms, and instead we have an entire branch of government that exists solely to allow the rich to keep their money, so the country can function almost entirely off of middle-class income. If you have the means, you can pay $30,000 to a tax lawyer with a team of accountants, in order to practically skip paying taxes. The rest of us pay H&R Block or risk doing it ourselves on their basic standardized forms, resulting in us paying out of our ass.

I try to stick to policy, but it's hard, and now all I can think is that they have been brainwashed into "taking the easy way out" bc trump is so simple-minded and offers simple solutions to their fearful brains. Its very hard tonreapect them. I want to be able to "agree to disagree" but it feels so disingenuous to not fight back against this administration

@@chriser555 I don’t believe that. That is a cop out. Guess you didn’t notice when he abandoned our allies, the Kurds. He isn’t good for the economy for the majority. Manufacturing jobs have continued to leave. He is doing nothing to get us in the game of renewables, he is still pushing for coal and oil. The rest of the world is moving forward in energy, we are stagnant. Obama’s numbers for new jobs were better. And Obama pulled us out of a recession. The Trump team has no idea how to rebuild an economy, they can ride a good one, and explode a deficit with tax cuts that did nothing. Meanwhile we are still stagnant in the Middle East.

I think David is wrong. I know most people friends, neighbors, etc that won't talk politics period. Doesn't matter who it's with. We've been told for years that polite people don't discuss politics, religion or money. When I've pushed people to tell me the seem a bit embarassed about their vote and I think that comes from people voting because they aren't aware of what's even going on in the community square. They're voting Trump because they feel that's the appropriate vote but they don't have an explanation for their choice just some pithy comment like don't challenge me or don't talk about Trump, etc,

@@Unix815 I really don't see how you come to the conclusion that he regrets the discussion. A considerable amount of their conversation was about the problem of people being intolerant of those who hold a different view. It would therefore be a tad ironic if a man who speaks of the dangers of suppressing different opinions then says he regrets having a discussion with someone who has a different opinion from him.

@bill mill - Biden worked for the only black US president in human history for eight years and, if he wins he will give the US their first black Vice President in human history. So, given those facts, want a perfect example of selective cognitive dissonance? Donald Trump spent FIVE YEARS STRAIGHT desperately trying to convince terrified White people that the only black president in human history was secretly a foreign-born, Kenyan Muslim who had his birth certificate and college records faked so he could one day steal the presidency from someone legitimate, American and white. Trump then added to that sense of unearned grievances in White people by bitterly complaining that the only reason the media wasn’t covering the “biggest political scandal in American history” was because Obama was black and they were all being too “politically correct”. Simple question: did that happen? Yes or no?
