Summary

Andrew Doyle returns to the podcast for a wide-ranging conversation about his book The End of Woke, the culture shock of moving from London to Arizona, the far Left and far Right overlap in anti-Semitism, the rollback in DEI policies, why you shouldn’t use the term “hate speech, “ and the UK’s failure to enforce certain laws because police have been trained as activists.

All right. I'm with Andrew Doyle again, everybody. Welcome back to Walkins. Welcome in person. In person. I'm actually here. I know. I know. It's so fun. What brings you to Austin? Well, I'm actually, I'm living in Arizona now. So I moved from England over to Arizona. So it's not that far here. It's just a short flight. That's a pretty big move. It is a big, it's for a pasty Brit to go to Arizona. I don't go near the sun here. Like I can burn at night. So I just, I just completely stay out of it. It's crazy. Because I'm in the desert now. Yeah. There are scorpions. There are rattlesnakes. There are cacti that are bigger than me. That is not what I'm used to in the leafy suburbs of Hartfordshire.

0:38.0

No. What, what? It's so like wet and and dreary. Oh, it's dreary. Yeah. That's our

0:45.0

character though. That's why the British are the way they are. How do you, do you go hiking or anything?

0:51.6

That's far too much effort. I know. Sometimes I go for walks in the countryside where I live.

0:56.3

What part are you in Scottsdale? Yeah, I'm in Scottsdale. Okay. Which is really nice. It is nice. Yeah. It's really good. I have been exploring a bit. I've been to Tombstone. Okay. Because I'm quite into the okay corral and the cowboy kind of thing. I went to a rodeo.

1:09.5

Oh, fun.

1:10.2

There isn't someone who's more incongruous as a rodeo than me.

1:13.1

Have you been to Sedona?

1:14.5

Yes. Sedona's gorgeous. It's gorgeous. So it is beautiful. It is incredible. It's amazing. Yeah. There's a lot of natural part, like beauty in Arizona. There's all of that. And also, I will say people are nicer than in London,

1:29.1

where I normally spend a lot of my time. Because in London, people don't really talk to you,

1:32.5

people don't smile at you, there's a lot of mistrust. Here, everyone's really polite in Scottsdale.

1:37.9

London seems like it's going through it right now. Oh, yeah, yeah. London is a problem.

1:43.8

When was the last time you were home?

1:46.0

Oh, not long ago. Just a couple of months ago. So I had Jewish friends who recently went and they were

1:52.1

saying that they didn't know if they'd be able to go back. There is over anti-Semitism going on in

1:58.1

London. Like crazy. I mean, there were... That's crazy. Yeah, and the police don't really do anything about it. So, you know, there were charges dropped when there were some Islamist activists were driving through a Jewish area of London shouting anti-Semitic slurs and threats. And there was just completely dropped, like no one cares. And of course, you have these various pro-Palestine marches and most of the people there aren't there to be anti-semitic and aren't

2:21.1

there to cause trouble but there's a sizable minority who are and they do explicitly call for

2:27.1

violence against Jewish people nothing really happens there do you think there's like a

2:31.2

something in the gut of western people that is like gets activated i mean

2:39.0

clearly we see it in you know islam there's a there's an anti-semitic streak yes to say the

2:45.5

least but um do you think that there is something in the west too too, that seems to, like, rise up?

2:53.2

It always recurs, doesn't it?
