Extended Interview: Jordan Peterson Discusses How The World Shapes His Views | NBC Nightly News

[@lightfulynx]

I’m a woman. Would have up to recently identified as “left”. I’m a spiritual teacher, someone many would consider a “hippy” in many respects. Jordan Peterson has literally become a savior for my life, he has helped me bring so much peace to so many painful beliefs.... I am eternally grateful. He does NOT just appeal to young men.... he appeals to the souls calling for Truth which IS universal

[@dirtybird41482]

Miraculous Living At times, I just can’t wrap my head around the reason for these “male fan base” “alt right fan base” questions. From everything I’ve heard the message should appeal to everyone across the political spectrum to the masculine/feminine spectrum. Then I think, well, it probably doesn’t resonate with the feminine because of the finding meaning part. Most women find meaning while male counterparts wonder aimlessly. And politically, if you’re interested in the means and not the end, he can be a threat. But I whole heartedly agree. The message is universal, and in large part, missing from our society; which is sad, because he’s not saying much we don’t already know.

[@lightfulynx]

Miraculous Living, Same, been to burning man four times and found myself in a vapid merry-go-round of delusion and unrealized potential. Lost myself in that mess.

Dear NBC: You should strongly consider having an internal meeting about re-instituting journalistic integrity and honest reporting. The original piece you aired after highly editing this interview is a reputation disaster for you. It take less than 15 minutes of searching on youtube, and google to expose your reporting as highly inaccurate, and in many way blatantly biased and factually inaccurate. It is shoddy work like this that allows Trump to get away with calling you fake news. You need to return to a higher standard of pursuing truth regardless of you own personal opinions. The person who had final sign off on the editing of that piece should be fired for having damaged to public image and there by the value of NBC's Public credibility.

Then we go home to cook a healthy dinner, eat, take a walk perhaps with the family dog, open daily mail, pay bills, read pertinent email correspondance, call or go check on elderly parents, reach out to our grown children, etc... Then, with very little time left, we decide who and/or what we will read about, a detective novel?, the bible?, current politics?. Many of us who like, read, & listen to Jordan Peterson came across him accidently while delving into current political issues at hand. We are not star struck fans of a media driven current fad.

I think the problem is that he is so intelligent that most people don't understand what he's really saying. So many people these days take offense instead of trying to understand what someone is saying or where they are coming from. It's either laziness or just a lack of intelligence.

[@gsc1510]

John Caulfield Lol and your opinion is based on what?

[@dodgingdurangos924]

It's both. If it's a lack of intelligence, then it can often be followed by laziness, especially when there's no interest from the person. If it's laziness, then more ignorance is usually the result in "discussions" such as this. That's counterproductive. This interviewer telegraphed all these characteristics through his smartass "how 'bout that" kind of facial expressions. I mean, NBC producers couldn't focus on his face enough. They should have edited him out completely. But one other attitude really stood out: condescension. I detest any individual who has a big chip on their shoulder, regardless of who the guest is. Enlightening discussions suffer from this, unfortunately.

[@phosda]

you're funny.

[@lovelyeyessee]

it's not that he is soooo intelligent. he shape shifts a lot. he doesn't want to be pinned down or misunderstood so he goes into worm holes trying to explain himself.

[@danlejerskar4828]

Vb p

[@abbery9202]

Matt Bradley looks so clueless throughout this entire thing its hilarious

[@arkay85]

Conventional news is dead. These short interviews where Peterson is constantly being interjected by flummoxed 'journos' and such have had their day.

[@CannibalLecter]

You lost credibility with editing this video.

[@peterdragon6367]

Hannibal Lecter they list credibility long before that. It’s nbc after all

[@Coltranized]

Hannibal Lecter Oh, please. Even if it wasn't edited, you'd still claim foul.

[@morena012]

They never had it to begin with.

[@klettswell1]

I never watch NBC. But I did tune in for Jordan p. Last time I try that. Peterson I not pushing people to the right. NBC, CNN, ect are the ones pushing people to the right.

[@darkmaitri]

I've been a radical liberal for most of my life. I love Jordan Peterson. Though he has no intention of generating "fans," he has them. Whether he likes it or not he is performing now; people are "reading" and interpreting what he says and does. So anyhow, I am not a right winger most of time and yet Peterson's views resonate with a great deal with my own. So interviewers need to realize that he is not as aligned ideologically as they're leading people to think.

[@CulletonClan]

Calm, articulate, well-supported reason. There is hope for the human race. If only more people will listen to Jordan Peterson, even if it's just to speak to each other with more calmness and respect.

[@americafirst3562]

Only a a panicked dying media would produce a hit piece like this. Ordering Dr Peterson's book today!

[@housejunky777]

NBC trying to reach Kathy Newman status.

[@irathompson1665]

Dr. Peterson is like an old testament prophet, calling the lost and disillusioned of this generation to first correct their own behaviour before trying to correct the world's, these days that message is profound and often life changing.

[@Adam-mz2cp]

I love the idea that this interviewer decided to bring out the cushion to defuse any tension and to attempt to bring Jordan’s guard down whilst being interviewed. Nice tactic. Didn’t work though did it mate?

[@timerian]

So the extended version of a 90 minute interview is less than 14 minutes?

[@nativecompanion1562]

The interviewer is unimpressive.

[@SoularisSoul]

Clearly stated why his listeners arent "fans" and interviewer goes on to say "your fan base". Like hes an act of some sort. Weird twist of language they kept trying to push

[@johnhaythorpe206]

This man is truly a gift to us and the world in an hour when we all need to listen more. When he says "I don't have fans, I have people who are listening carefully to what I am saying", @ 6:30, that really resonates with me (as he skillfully avoids being "Labelled" by the interviewer). What a wonderful world it would be if people listened instead of talking, considered instead of reacting. I believe the greatest gift an effective communicator has is the ability to carefully and critically listen, (not just hear). Some sage advice; "Listen and consider what the others are saying and do not blindly follow anyone, nor any dogma, nor the vox populi". In the end, you should question everything, listen to the responses and consider, rather than making noises (to drown out the other person if what they are saying doesn't fit your current thinking), reacting and labeling someone, simply because their opinion is different to yours.

[@amerbur]

How many times does Jordan Peterson have to say he is not a part of the "Alt-Right" or "radical right", whatever that means.

[@MrGulf4]

It's not the "alt-right" who follow Peterson, it's those of us who wish to hear more sophisticated and diversified viewpoints, of today's social issues, than those that can be found in the MSM. Or maybe tuning out of the MSM is what's now considered "alt-right".

[@AleXoEx0]

Alfred Wessex The alt right do listen to jbp, they listen because some of the things he says resonates with them. Such as hierachy mattering in society, the loss of religious sentiment and disillusionment in the young, he acknowledges the differences in the genders, the infestation of neomarxists in educational establishments, the west and western civilization under threat of collapse. These are all concerns of the alt right. He never address the issue of problem being that westerners are being replaced, but he asked those to try and treat others as individuals rather than groups, so it's a start.

[@noahholderman5725]

Oh, he's actually in this one

[@dheeeraj1000]

@7:36: "It's ridiculous to defend yourself against an accusation that has no grounds"! A statement that is so obvious yet appears to be so profound shows the sorry state of affairs of our society

[@ruseldcruze]

"In times of radical uncertainty, what was once common becomes profound."

[@BigFrakkinOgre]

[@wolfdemon4038]

Don't you dare think I watched this video because I am a fan of yours NBC! I'm here for Jordan Peterson. You disgust me the way you've tried to twist the truth to fit your narrative. 13:25

[@michelleg4346]

Thank you for your comment. I feel the same way.

[@arcepowell4085]

“I DON’T HAVE FANS” salute good sir..”you’re such a brilliant-pragmatic man…you’re helping us face and dialogue issues that are uncomfortably necessary…

[@MRebeccaPowers]

Please Dr. Peterson don’t quit teaching and speaking in public! Your calm voice of reason and always present curiosity is so needed by those of us than can learn from you but don’t have the experience and education to approach your analysis of our various societies in these times of great flux.

[@stripesandpipes429]

NBC whispers: Jordan, you don't have the strength to weather the storm. Jordan whspers back: I am the storm tldr: Jordan: COME AT ME BRO

[@tedireland1552]

Nailed it!

[@onegorgeouschick]

Heehee

[@gunman462]

hahaha awesome

[@michaelmattice4986]

After watching and listening to hours and hours of Professor Peterson, I'm convinced that all he does is...make sense.

[@bachiano1]

So true 🙄

[@michaelmattice4986]

:)

[@amazingcezo]

Peterson’s brilliance, for me, is in his innate ability to put into words what many of us are thinking but in the most awesome way possible.

[@the40yearoldvegan53]

so many nuggets of eloquently expressed truths...Pererson is amazing

[@BTBSteve]

embarrassing interviewer

[@siok4375]

Thank you 4 helping me with my life mr JP

[@wingchunone]

"Your fan base seems to come..." Piece of crap interview. What a low level of journalism, if we might even conceal to name it as that! This Matt Bradley does not even understand what he is hearing. Crap, pure crap.

[@keithwilliams8342]

Anyone know where i can find an unedited version of this interview?

[@Draftgon]

Okay so NBC released a longer version of the interview but you still can’t fathom how they put him into the alt-right field despite talking to him about it. It’s like they didn’t care what he says.

[@Draftgon]

NBC - Asks „What do you say to people who think you‘re alt-right?“, still does the same thing. Why, just why.

[@martinmesicek5286]

The face of the journalist is quite telling, he looks confused.

[@LuisofLosAngeles]

JP is so patient. He can tell this stuff is way over the guy’s head, and he eats cheap shots while he tries not to insult his intelligence. It’s like when a kid is kicking you and you have be firm but kind.

[@ricksta5350]

This man is truly a gift. It's sad that I even half to mention this but as a man of mixed race, born in Africa and raised by a community that believes in glorifying this sense of victimhood, I've come to the brinknofnthrowinf blows over mybdefending this man...but I'd do it every single say if need be. He's been the father I never had; a voice that's in my head whenever confronted w/significant choices and my life has improved in various facets since discovering hin 3 yr ago. No, I do not believe he's some deity, infallible, or superior to those not of his intellect, but if the world took the time to listen to his logical, rational roadmap, espnthe African American community, void of paternal guidance, and actually applied his suggestions, there's only one way to go - upwaeds. Very sad that he's been politicized or disregarded b/c of the pandemic of emotional incontinence ever present with the leftist ranks

[@chriscar1000]

Interviewer is anxious to put a tag on Jordan. What a terrible listener.

[@ecurb10]

No he's not. He's just asking important questions, giving Jordan the opportunity to clarify his position and correct any misconceptions about himself. Isn't this a good thing?

[@rakibulhasan5597]

@@ecurb10 yeah. Why is ppl blaming the interviewer?! He was farrrrr more civilized than any other interviewer

[@attrition71]

and you made a great point proving your own listening skills. Well said

[@durodesduvo8424]

What’s the point of being dishonest about others?

[@luckyvet]

Pushing the communist leftist narrative at all costs.

[@matthewherr1588]

They're afraid of him and the superiority of his ideas because if he is right, what they believe and how they have structured their lives and worldview are wrong. That's why.

[@devinngeorge]

Durodes Duvo many things, but the main thing is to create a unifying enemy out of said person.

[@antmanpr]

I came here looking for a very specific quote and I found it. "It's ridiculous to defend yourself against an accusation that has no grounds"

Is there an uncut, unedited version of this up anywhere?
