| 0:00.0 | Goody, humans. Welcome to the safe space for dangerous ideas and what dangerous ideas I've been peddling over the past week. In conversation with Douglas Murray, it's so fascinating doing seven live shows in five cities, almost all of them sold out, and wrestling and rumbling in |
| 0:25.7 | different ways with different controversial subjects with a man who I disagree with a lot and agree |
| 0:33.0 | with a lot as well. All of the shows were a bit different. Obviously, you do sort of the greatest hits, |
| 0:38.7 | and I sort of ask him, you know, if it's Douglas Murray, then we have to talk about Israel and Gaza, |
| 0:42.9 | and we have to talk about the cultural wars and social justice activism. But there's quite a lot |
| 0:49.0 | else that is innovative and original and that changed and the audience has changed and we sort of navigated. |
| 0:55.2 | It was just beautiful to tap dance with a mind that is that astute regardless of what you think |
| 0:59.8 | of his viewpoints. |
| 1:01.5 | So today we bring you the first taste, which is two Q&A sessions. |
| 1:06.6 | We did about 50 minutes to an hour in conversation and then we did a good 30 to 40 minutes |

| 1:19.6 | audience members can actually up rank and downvote questions. So you get a good sense of what |
| 1:25.0 | the temperament and interests of the audience actually |
| 1:27.7 | are and you don't have to put up with listening to people bang on for seven minutes about |
| 1:32.4 | themselves at a microphone. And next week we'll bring you one of the episodes in full and a couple |
| 1:39.9 | of weeks later will bring you another episode in full. There are also two videos of the, of two of the |
| 1:46.0 | events, which are going to go up on YouTube. Make sure that you're subscribed to the YouTube |
| 1:49.4 | channel. If you subscribe, then you'll get notified when all of those goodies drop. And it's also |
| 1:55.5 | just a way of helping us. If you watch the ads on YouTube, then that's a way of feeling like |
| 1:59.5 | you're contributing to the expansion of this project and to the expansion of sane conversation without necessarily |
| 2:05.7 | subscribing if you can't afford to subscribe to the premium substack. |
| 2:09.6 | If you are a premium subscriber, you'll get more than an hour here because this is two |
