This is my first time commenting, I am truly happy with the long form conversation that I get to hear from these with all of you. And I appreciate you putting Jordan Peterson on the show. I really enjoyed the comments about the French Revolution in comparison to the American Revolution. Thanks Shapiro! I think the most patriotic movie that I ever saw, not including Rambo. Is the Miracle in 2004 was the most periodic movie that was based in reality.

[@JerichoJosh1]

Andrew and Jordan are my two favorite public people. Each played a huge role in helping me get on a more correct path in my life, but more importantly helped chizzle away the rot that grew upon my sense of faith and purpose. I have been waiting for them to have this exact discussion for the better part of 2 years. I felt dissonance between them from previous talks regarding "the direction of meaning", as Andrew puts it, and the relationship of this between the physical/material and the metaphysical/religious. I know both men so well because of the effect theyve had on me, and I wished I could sort out how I dont think theres any fatal contradictions between each of their theologies. It was bothering me, but I really think Andrew's line of questions--which I could tell he wanted to ask of Peterson going back many months--really helped hammer out a synergy of ideas that have been my religious beacon for years now.

[@James-ll3jb]

😂Telling a Twitter opponent that if he didn't like the world as it is he "could leave anytime"--malicious, and overt encouragement of suicide was perhaps less than shrewd, on Peterson's part. I think that his most recent difficulties have more to do with alleged unprofessional behavior than it does criticism of the government per se, doesn't it? I mean, "Poor people eat too much food" or "climate doesn't exist" aren't direct critiques of any government, are they? I lost interest in what he is saying when I checked out his assertion that "lack of serotonin is the cause of depression"¹; it turns out there is no scientific basis for that whatsoever. ² Then I looked into him further only to discover his claims, "I am an evolutionary biologist," and "I am a neuroscientist" to both be false: he's always only had a doctorate in cognitive psychology.³ ¹kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGbGhWBod7GKoZI ²www.google.com/search?q=dies+lack+of+seretonen+cause+depression%3F&oq=dies+lack+of+seretonen+cause+deoression%3F&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i22i30l2j0i390i650l4.22922j0j1&client=ms-android-samsung-gj-rev1&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8 ³kzbin.info/www/bejne/noSxiJ6IrJpmgNE See: 5:46--7:52 I've always intensely disliked and mistrusted paucity of intellectual integrity...

Cigars are the thickest roughest 2nd hand to be around when you are a non-smoker when you are in a closed setting, whether it's well ventilated or not. So I thought it was pretty great of them to switch over after they had their 'relaxer'. I used to smoke regular cigarettes, my Dad still smokes Cigars, and by God - there's no way I'd ever ask him to put one out. I suffer through it without question! So I'm certainly not bashing anyone who enjoys a good cigar by any means, but don't disparage people who vape. Especially just being considerate. I switched several years ago to vaping for my wife's sake. Never looked back. Someday maybe I'll even quit altogether. lol

[@Aubergine1941]

When Ben spoke about the difference of the land in Israel on one side of the fence vs the other side, it brought back a memory from when I was a teenager. I was puzzled about how it was possible for Israel (the people) to have their land given back to them (as I assumed they had been conquered some time in the past by the Palestinians). So I asked my mother if the land was bought of the Palestinians so it could be given to the Jews. My mother didn't really know what went down either but she said to me that the Palestinians were not interested in the land as it was all desert. She said the Jews worked very hard and cultivated and watered the land and made the desert bloom and that that was when the Palestinians decided they wanted it.

[@feliciaf8]

well actually Palestine was/is just an artificial land in the first place, after the WWI ottoman turks fallen and some of them still on that area. again, yes true even it's just dessert but SOME group of people still used it to its' full potential. when it was just a boring land to live in, no one wants it BUT when it was cultivated and cared for to its' peak by other groups, now everyone wants to have it, conquered it, exploited it. they're really hypocritical lol also no they were conquered FOR CENTURIES from the muslims, before that it was under the byzantine empire but the emperor give their(israelis) rights to have their own land(israel) and still recognized it as the home of those natives

[@agimasoschandir]

That is today's myth. The states of Palestine and Israel were suggested at the same time. The majority of people were of Arab descent. The land was basically conned from the British who were in charge of the land at the time. The Palestine people have always wanted their own state, which is a separate set of lands from the modern State of Israel

Vespasians coins have the words "IVDEA CAPTA" which translates to Judea captured. It isn't British propaganda. Israel was known the world. Your claims are equivalent to that crazy woman on tiktok who said that the Roman empire never existed. Go read books kid. And even Mark Twain writes about Israel before the Jews came.

Knowles : What children are taught today about the flag. In my son's cub scout troop we go on two camp outs every year. At almost every one we retire a worn flag during the evening campfire. We sing a few songs including "It's a grand old flag". We talk about what the flag means. We talk about from where the flag that we're retiring has come and what it has been through - we have retired several flags that were sent to us by troops serving oversees - troops that we've often met through our service projects. The striped field of the worn flag is cut into pieces and each boy reads a line or two about the flag's symbolism and history before placing his piece into the fire. Lastly, the three most senior boys present the field of stars from the flag and explain why this field is never cut apart just as the union is never to be sundered. Then, together they place this last piece whole into the fire. My son has participated in this ceremony probably seven or eight times in his young life. He's carried and raised fresh new flags and reverently retired worn old ones. He's seen how we take some ashes from each campfire to salt into to the next as a symbol of the continuity of our fellowship. Today, our culture ridicules such symbolism. It seeks to tear down the metaphors of our history and heritage while offering nothing to replace them. I have no wish for my son to be slave to symbolism - no wish that he follow anything blindly - but neither will I ever want him to find himself rudderless on a sea of confusion and contradiction. Anyway, to answer your question, that is what a few children at least are being taught about the flag today.

Smoking gives you lung cancer

[@AintGotNothinOnUs]

Orson Welles Actually, lung cancer rates for those who smoke a couple cigars per week were shown to be less than in nonsmokers. Now that was only slightly less and in reality probably just means that they are at the same risk. Those who smoked daily were barely higher than nonsmokers. You don't inhale cigars (obviously a small amount inadvertantly gets inhaled), and also cigar smokers are seldom chain smokers. Lastly, cigars are made of tobacco, and that's it. They arent filled with all the additives that cigarettes are.

Cigars are one entire tobacco leaf rolled up, all natural no chemicals added. Cigarette tobacco is loose with fillers and other chemicals added.

[@acolchad83]

Wow, I can listen to these type of discussions all day long!!

[@blehbleheh]

The camera man was way ahead of his time.

[@oldhunterdraveris3940]

So awesome to see beautiful minds all together having a philosophical and theological discussion of epic proportions.

[@Jaredeger]

AMERICA!

[@Marlaina]

Growing up in New England and taking field trips in school to historical sites from the Revolution, the homesteads of prominent historical figures, and being in the actual spot where significant events happened to shape our country is what has made me patriotic. Huge American history buff! I no longer live in NE but I feel so nostalgic and homesick for it because of the history that’s there.

[@M0ssFr0g]

This was the best daily wire backstage yet!

[@libertyblue2696]

Happy Canada🍁 Day to my fellow Canadians!! Dr Peterson is most definitely a Canadian HERO. Love all u guys♥️

[@biggiebong2875]

Baddazzrider Turner . Should connect by FB.

[@baddazzriderturner3321]

I'm not on any social media

[@kyleeisenhauer5501]

Use kiwi browser, it can play KZbin in the background so you can shut your screen off and listen still. I think its android only though.

[@biggiebong2875]

Kyle Eisenhauer ... Hey that sounds awesome. . Does it stop the mega data download because of video? If not is there an app that can take any video and only relay the audio?

[@FriendlyNeighborhoodSnyderMan]

The thing that made me a patriotic American was a combination of my father being a US Marine, and our VHS copy of The Patriot getting stuck in the family VCR. My dad must have played that movie at least a thousand times and it inspired me to read and learn more. Add to it my 1st reading of the Red Badge of Courage and I couldn't help but be a patriot!

[@LJBXYZ]

Great job Gentlemen! What each of you ultimately elude to is that your patriotism grew from your young experiences of american rituals that your elders practiced each year in accordance with our responsibilities to uphold the symbols and practices of our forefathers that remind us all of the costs and suffering of those unique ideals & freedoms that we enjoy today.

[@kgeorge6713]

I had to drop out of high school in ninth grade to take care of my nine other brothers and sisters so I love it when you guys talk about real history THANK YOU

[@androidzombie4769]

The reason I watch shows like this, is because where I live, this kind of sit around the coffee table with friends and talk deep just isn't possible. I wish it were.

[@idalily3810]

More Backstage with Jordan Peterson, please!

[@stankahuna5271]

we live in very interesting times, I go out into the world and its full of left wing craziness, come home and watch a video like this and it somehow puts me at ease, thankyou

Gods work was done here.

[@jcook6157]

Damn it, Klavan! Somebody should have told him quit sucking so hard on that vape pen!

[@DJSkippyCaterpillar]

the sound is obnoxious

[@michaelhutchison4123]

This should be watched every July 4. Well done gents.

[@macgyverman9847]

I love how Jeremy is just spinning in the face of such a dominant intellect. Everyone is lulled by the genius in the room. Jordan has Michael in a sweet state of word ecstasy. The order of intellect is Jordan, Ben, Jeremy and Andrew, and Michael. However, all are exemplary gentlemen.

[@populistreport4813]

I want Jordan Peterson's tailor.

[@satchboogie2058]

That woman's smile is pure bliss. Keep being cheerful!

[@20yrs_oldBlackGuy]

You mean keep being quite and submissive. Let the grown alpha males speak.

[@helenperez9828]

My dad came here from Sonora Mexico in 1939, and I really must say never once did he fly a 🇲🇽 why? Because he served in the U.S Army and he was so grateful to become an American citizen 🇺🇸 (legally btw) and he raised us to to proud AMERICANS with no shame of where he was born but cuz this is where he laid his foundation and as he said several times, it was a new beginning for all of us and future generations! Now we are 4 generations in ❤️

[@Estoikheion]

Happy 4th of July from Spain! I have a silver dollar with the image of the Liberty: so beautiful. I wish my country find your way someday.

[@outnabout6966]

Ricardo Aparicio - Muchas gracias Ricardo, vya con Dios. Hope l got all that right.

[@ENCwwe]

I could listen to JBP all day long, he’s one of the most brilliant thinkers of our age.

[@tedrick79]

Klavan trying to politely corner Peterson on God - good times.

[@rlee2772]

Blessings to North America. Good show DW, thank you. 👍👏

[@levythompson5571]

absolutely loved the conversation, sadly, some of the it went over my head.. I hope these continue. can't help but wonder, if the cigars, expensive sloshing scotch ect. is another joke that went over my head. truly inspiring fellas, the lot of you

[@jasonparnes1388]

This has fantastic production quality! I'd love to see more of this. Organic conversation between thoughtful people. Much of the dialogue is not obviously conservative or partisan, which I like. For a left-leaning listener, there is the feeling of thoughtful, reasoned dialectic here. This is good for the cause of seeing others across the spectrum as individuals rather than the "other", or evil, or political shills.

[@aleksanderdanecki]

The line by Ben about gender studies profesors was priceless: "At least we came with a solution for the people with IQ under 85"

[@paryanindoeur]

Just the fact that so many people are so interested in intellectual discussion is the most heartening development I've seen in decades... but its combination with spirituality -- not the vacuous atheism of decades passed -- is beyond what I would have hoped to see not too long ago.

[@melissacairney3493]

When people say, let’s hang….it is words of people that are united. I just realized it!😢 so beautiful.

[@danielprivate7442]

This is excellent content.

[@blane1814]

Gentlemen and intellectual , This is sexy

[@windsongshf]

I agree! Be still my heart. ❤

Blaneʚ Steph My wife agrees. She also finds Stephen Fry sexy though.. and me... so I’m not sure if we should trust her judgement

[@blane1814]

Nic Harvard 🤣 i think it’s the blue eyes , the fact of the matter is that quality’s that these men have has become so rare ,,, it’s the main reason that I enjoy listening to them there view on things and I love that they are pro marriage, living in California that’s not popular at all, and never talked about , it’s easy to become jaded, than I listen to these great men and I can see that they are paving the way for young men to be Men.

[@blane1814]

Nic Harvard that’s very impressive, thank you for sharing that

[@WhopyStompy]

I could have listened to the 5 of you talk for another 4 hours at least. Good stuff. Bring Dr. JP back on at some point!

[@battleofhastings7586]

So nice to see friends gathered together:)
