Marshall and Saga here. Welcome back to the Realignment.

0:09.0

We've got a really awesome show for you guys today. We are talking to Douglas Murray.

0:13.8

He's a really interesting person from the United Kingdom. He's been on Joe Rogan.

0:17.5

Has released a couple books during this sort of Trump era. So this is another one of those good

0:22.0

long-form conversations with a person who's interested in issues beyond just their sphere.

0:27.7

Yeah, I really enjoy talking with Douglas. He's such an interesting guy.

0:31.2

Interviewed him on rising about a year ago. And Douglas has always been a really interesting

0:35.6

person. He's wrote the strange death of Europe back in 2017 about immigration.

0:40.5

He's looking tracked the social justice moving very closely. He is somebody who kind of identifies

0:46.5

pathologies and trends a lot sooner than a lot of other people will and then calls him out.

0:51.4

So I suspect that Douglas's work will look and be in the mainstream in a couple of years,

not like it, but I think you'll be better off having listened to the whole conversation. We definitely

1:12.8

press him a little bit. Yeah, and that's really what makes talking to Douglas worth it because the

1:17.5

conversation I wouldn't be interested in is like generic like the social justice warriors are crazy.

1:23.8

That conversation was slightly edgy four years ago, but it definitely isn't edgy in 2020.

1:28.4

But what's good about Douglas is you've not only pushed back against him, but you guys

1:33.4

are listening to their going to see him actually think when we push back instead of just giving

1:37.6

us a generic response, which is the worst thing to hear. So a lot of good value there.

1:41.9

Yeah, that's right. Okay, so make sure you guys give us a five star rating on Apple podcasts.

1:46.7

And if you feel up to it, write a five star review. You can leave us a question within that review.
