Thank you SO much for this discussion with Douglas. One of the best and reassuring one hour plus discussions I've ever listened to. You both are brilliant and thoughtful. No one is more articulate, perceptive and able to present both obvious and subtle solutions to the situations we find ourselves in. BRAVO!

Such a great podcast! I think I could listen to Douglas Murray on an endless loop and not get enough. I find his positions clear, fair, to the point and refreshing in a world going mad.

Murray is a genius and model for how to approach and think about the illogical challenges emanating from both Left and Right... Hearing from Mr. Murray and Ms. Wies on the same pod cast was fantastic. These are the true thought leaders of our age...

BTW - I had to listen to this on my computer from the web page. It was not offered by my podcasting App. ("Overcast") unlike all of the other Honestly podcast episodes. Not sure why but if this was censorship on the part of Overcast, I am done with them...

Great chat Bari. Love DM, we are standing by you. We need a strategy. I am optimistic, but we need to step up the fight, culturally speaking...

Great conversation. I like him and really enjoyed The Madness of Crowds, but couldn't get into The War on the West - not the content, just the narrative. Maybe I will give it another try.

Is this released via Honestly podcast (I don't see it) or via Common Sense (I also don't find it)?

Exceptional talk! Thank you for this poignant defense not only of Western civilization, but the Western canon, as well.

Can you upload to Spotify?

I am convinced that statues of “old time” guys like Jefferson and Lincoln are taken down because people don’t actually known who they are are what they did. The same people could give you a dissertation on the life of a Kardasian, but those dinosaurs most have been bad.

I'll be teaching a course on ancient philosophy, this fall. In the back of my mind, I'm wondering whether any of my students might try to cancel Aristotle.

I'd like to see them try!

Bari Weiss, thank you so much for being such an eloquent commentator and resourceful producer of Common Sense and Honestly. I absolutely respect Douglas Murray, and have read several of his books, including The Madness of Crowds and The Strange Death of Europe. He is a terrific observer of cultures and trends, and a powerful writer. There is hope in today’s world!
