I'm glad he talked about Henry George. "Progress and Poverty" is one of the best books I've ever read.

13:32 "a sort of crony capitalism racket...", I've been calling the real estate industry the realty racket for at least a decade, noting the trilateral relationship of the house building industry, the house reselling industry and of course the house taxation industry, AKA the various levels of government that feed primarily on land and realty tax/fees revenues.

This guy is my hero

Stop speaking in generalities. Any leader, regardless of political affiliation, needs to evaluate the facts. Does the policy work? If not, stop doing the policy. Stop enabling government corruption and stifling money printing. Stop letting the loonies run the asylem.

I love Lionel!

Most impressive, from me over here in Manhattan. Grateful for the voice of Mr Hitchens.

OMG doom and gloom Hitchens again, how can he pull Britain down in this speech I wonder..

Bad education destroys the country.

Absolutely embarrasses hannah to prove his point

Thiel.... another deep state tool. Don't trust him or his associates

AR's take on Special Relationship and Russia is utterly weak and modern English Tory nonsense.

I want Douglas Murray to read bedtime stories so I can fall asleep to his voice. The small shots of poetry he does for The Free Press are too short!

Awesome speech. If one wants an organized Good Society, it must be a hierarchical society with wise men and women at the highest echelons of the hierarchy. We do not have this today. To defend this Good Society a strong military and industrial complex must exist with the Warfighter held in the highest esteem. The ancient ideas of glory and conquest shall return. A true distinction between friend and enemy will return. The absurd liberal principles of state sovereignty, international law, and failed U.N. mechanisms for resolving conflicts will all go away. The notion that a weak state can be allowed to attack a powerful neighbor without any recourse is unsustainable.

I'd like to take this opportunity to say thank you to Douglas. Douglas Murray is one of those Gentlemen that brings about greatness in others. I respect and admire him a great deal. Thank You.

I can't believe Peter crossed paths with Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson twice in his career and Al won out both times. What could have been! If Question Time and The Daily Telegraph went with Peter instead, how different would Britain be today? (Edit: I forgot "de")

The subtleties just seemed to go right over the heads of the audience - did they turn up for the wrong gig? So many witty comments fell on apparently deaf ears.

Daniel Hannan typifies the worst aspects of fake conservatism. Hilarious considering Peter spent the previous hour railing against it.

And dear Douglas appears to have a cold....and still over delivers.

If u dont believe in diversity, then u dont believe in Heaven. Race is human-made. Mostly by agents with agendas. The US and its diversity is the best thing going on the entire planet for peace and tolerance and respect for other cultures. Its greed and selfishness that continue to inject cracks into this melting pot. We should continue to strive for the ideal and not give into evil racism. No matter how professional, eloquent, & logical it sounds. Eve found the snake very trustworthy and convincing as well. All that division does is create suspicious "others". I'm American. I love being American. I love Americas diversity and richness of cultures and I can freely and publicly celebrate those cultures with that culture. America, as an idea, is the closest thing to Heaven we have on Earth.

Peter Thiel as per usual makes you think and provokes deep thought.

A blathering well-spoken, well-dressed conspiracy theorist for the upper classes.

Starts at 10:26

It's incredible how tilted Daniel Hannon was by the speech. He then questioned Peter Hitchens like a left-wing TV presenter, instead of a 'conservative'. Which pretty much proved the point of everything that Hitchens said.

Hannan came off as so hollow, following that impassioned speech from Peter.

Scruton allegedly sexually abused young boys. Now that he's dead. These victims will not receive justice.

Britain? He's preaching to the choir! The cult of Thiel; who's company, Palantir, works with the CIA,NSA and make his fortune in the surveillance and murder business. An unapologetic Monopolist, who's money shaped elections with his brilliant technology. Playing the "woke" card was invented by people of his ilk. By creating infighting, it's very effective at division and discouraging efforts to organize in class interest. Superficial tactics like DEI acts as an insurance policy against the next revolution, but it is unraveling.

Oxford comma? Pry it out of my cold dead hands. God bless clarity.

_"At that time, 80% of British subjects were neither white nor Christian."_ 1:06:49 THEY WERE LIVING IN THEIR OWN COUNTRIES, WITH THEIR OWN PEOPLE.

The trolls have landed. Amusing to read such criticism of Roberts from such ignoramuses. And rather funny how many of all these alleged different people are not aware of the difference between "he's" and "his"....

This should be mandatory listening for everyone.

It is good to know there are educators like you

This nobody woulda remained a nobody but for his brother, Christopher.

I had to listen to this like 3 times Peter is so information dense is a marvel of efficiency

Speechless.

Thiel always throws some fascinating curve balls into any conversation...

Truss was a scapegoat. The alternatives are all worse.

Using the word 'progress' is highly misleading.

US suburban houses are the problem, not the solution. Awful single family homes in dormitories with zero community that require you to drive to do anything due to dumb zoning laws. Europe is better, you don't usually need a care, you live in medium density areas not single family homes with zero amenities or community around it.

Single family housing is one of the worst things about the USA, it's why you have endless suburbs, no communities, endless traffic, stroads and you have to drive to get a pint of milk, go to a restaurant, watch a movie, see a friend, basically everything. Europe has medium density housing instead of endless single family suburbs. It's better.

Such an extraordinary experience! The beautiful lecture of Douglas Murray and powerful performance of Kevin Spacey left me feeling the words of Roger Scruton quoted by Murray come to life, as if the computer screen I was watching this on became THAT window - "....we suddenly come across a window through which we catch sight of another brighter world, a world to which we belong but cannot enter".

what they call autism was the first wave of "woke" and is fully benefitting from the virtual signaling sentiment.

By saying that the likes of Jackson Pollock and Cy Twombly had to study to make their art, this lecturer gives them credit for some sort of intentionality that really ought not to be granted

Katherine has sussed it out!👍😊❤

Too bad mainstream society hasn't listened to this guy more over the years. Always refreshing to hear him speak.

He concluded by saying that DEI = CCP, that “diversity” is Communist, but didn’t make any real arguments to prove that point. Garbage.

I’m halfway into this garbage lecture. What a crock. He’s all over the map. Old Testament, New, Romulus, Remus, the old cantina in Star Wars. He’s talking gibberish. There’s no way that “white” people can be allowed to be the authors of “diversity.”

What the FUCK is this guy even going on ? Bulsshiter of the highest order.

Truth!

Amen peter, Amen

The guy once said he would never die and live forever. Time thinks differently as I see. The guy is aging quite fast
