A Dangerous Moment, with Douglas Murray | Uncommon Knowledge

Recorded in Fiesole, Italy, on May 29, 2024.

His reporting on the harrowing conditions in those wartorn locations make his journalism a must-read.

The Nobel Prize in moral clarity goes to Douglas Murray.

[@barryyoung]

Thank goodness that we still have proper journalists like Douglas Murray

[@FrancescaDiOrio]

Douglas Murray is the only person I can listen to endlessly❤️

[@Shpunder]

The free world needs more people like Douglas Murry to re-calibrate it's moral & cultural compass.

[@TheShpongle]

I wish this man was Prime Minister, he has a genuine passion and eloquent fury about the realities we face today, one of the best truly moral journalists out there!

[@tensaijuusan4653]

Douglas Murray is the British Kassandra of our times. And what has happened to Britain is a shame and disgrace.

[@maseratifittipaldi]

All US students should listen to this conversation.

[@DavidSmith-mo3dk]

Fight for your country or lose your country, it's that simple.

[@koffifayehudia]

Absolutely brilliant! This man is the epitome of class, character and intelligence.

[@bellyfiore1]

The only person that has the moral clarity, who is consistent and courageous intellectually, Is the Gentleman I could listen too all day, Douglas Murray. Thank you both for another great interview.

[@MishMichaeli]

Love you Douglas Murray, you are a hero of our generation, and a fine English gentleman. God bless you.❤❤❤❤

[@petermathieson5692]

Douglas Murray. Razor-sharp, as always.

Douglas Murray is a shining star on the top of the hill.

Douglas Murray is an international treasure.

[@karolymuszka4704]

[@Victoria-hz3gx]

WHAT DOUGLAS IS TALKING ABOUT IS VERY TRUTHFUL. ✝️

[@rinagang]

Just watched this !!! thank you for this privilege, from Israel. "The age of grievance is over and will be over with an age of courage and heroism". Beautifully said. May it become true. As we Jews say: "From your mouth to G-ds ears"...... Or whomever is listening. Thank you Douglas Murray. You are a breath of fresh air and the voice of reason, morality and Truth. May you be blessed always.

[@ninaiversen6170]

Douglas Murray, you are brilliant as always. Thank you!

[@haroldjanser8361]

What we do without Douglas Murray,s Vital Reports. The Media should be Ashamed of itself

[@kevinetheridge7201]

Douglas Murray is always a joy to watch being interviewed, but it’s a double joy when Peter Robinson is the interviewer.

[@Aviva121]

The greatest of wisdom and clarity so well spoken. The hero of our time.

[@Brockington174]

Love Douglas Murray. ❤️🇬🇧❤️🇬🇧

[@seekyefirst2796]

Immense respect for Douglas, immense admiration

[@johanweakley2658]

Thanks Peter for setting this interview up with Douglas Murray. It is good to listen to reason while we are negotiating the rough seas of political and social insanity.

[@Bloom5056]

This was excellent. Never tire of listening to Douglas. Speaks the truth, blunt, timely, honest, and downright terrifying, but we need to hear it. Thank you 🙏

[@user-go5qw8tz5r]

Douglas you never disappoint

[@KenLeonard]

“The age of grievance will be over with the age of heroism. Life is too serious, get ready.”

[@Chonish]

as an immigrant to the US myself, it's a precious thing to be able to live with my culture and the society's embrace of it, and with life in which I get to integrate into it as an American. But I would never for one second want the American society to be morphed into something that forces my religion or customs. Everyone is free to come to it and become part of it as much as the native born citizens. But the essence of the country that allows it to be a desired location is the fact that it is a Western civilization that facilitates that desirability. Immigrants should not demand the West to adopt and force upon everyone which rendered their countries of origin a place they wanted to emigrate in the first place.

[@jkkjeldsen8249]

"The Age of Grievance is Over." I wish this was the title of Douglas' next book. As always I'm in awe of and inspired by him. Thank you both for this invaluable discussion, which should be required viewing for everyone in the West.

[@lrzezak]

An extremely high-level interview from start to finish. Douglas Murray is a rare gem from this time of great turmoil. Erudition and modesty, an ability to listen and learn. His words are of a strength seldom seen. The ending is apotheotic. I am grateful to the interviewer and to the Hoover Institution for making these videos available.

[@stanwoltynski4153]

Outstanding breadth of knowledge and experience? I could listen to Douglas for hours. Shame he isn't UK PM.

[@Mr.E.Shoppa]

Bravo! This is one of the best talks given this year! Thank you Douglas Murray!

[@gregoryleake6260]

What an awesome interview with a man that has the courage I almost never hear, see, or encounter anywhere. Speaking from a family with several living veterans. But what’s also missing in our world is the lack of being able to clarify and articulate the point like Douglas Murray does. My G-d Bless and keep him safe for a long lifetime, for all of us. 😘

[@raymondzehrung9274]

Douglas Murray is one of the leading intellectual voices of the 21st century. His analysis and pragmatic rationality are truly based upon logic, reason and classically known truths. Bravo, Peter, for interviewing this sharp-minded man.

[@CarlaKnight-yq3rw]

Thanks to Hoover Institution and Douglas Murray. Such a wonderful people are in a short supply.

[@MishMichaeli]

Just Wow, this was a magnificent interview. God bless you both, everyone needs to watch this, Douglas Murray is the prophetic voice of our dark times. Thank you.❤❤❤❤

[@annaan8232]

Bravo, as always! Douglas speaks very precisely and unambiguously.

[@lornacarlos]

The world needs more courageous men like Douglas Murray who fights for the truth and the just. Leadership is so lacking these days enabling evil to prosper and destroying every good done by the western nations.

[@MB-uw6eh]

I’m glad Douglas is always bringing rational discussion and a good sense of the truth to the table about the world’s most pressing problems and social issues. He’s good company.

[@MontecristotoValjean]

Thank you Douglas

[@myzenlifeinnature]

Outstanding. Murray's final comments should wake us all up to reality

[@kateheron6005]

THIS MAN. How lucky we are to have him. I agree that something is coming - to England, for sure, where I live - and I for one am ready, like those amazing Israeli/Ukrainian women. I would almost welcome it. Terrible though it will assuredly be. Because we can't go on like this - and pretending that we can go on like this.... living through the death of our civilization.

[@No_OneV]

Douglas Murray is a real one.

[@priestofpartagas]

Always a fascinating discussion with these two intellectual giants. What a treat!!

[@basedautistic6021]

Would love to hear Douglas Murray ask any Muslim apologist to take what Muhammad said about the Jews, change the word to black, and then post it on their social media…

[@veneciasingh9494]

Love Douglas Murray he is so truthful.

[@jessemounoury6065]

there are very very view 1 hour interviews with 1 person i listen to from beginning to end. Mr. Murray is one of them

[@deanfunk8448]

There are echoes of Churchill and Christopher Hitchens in Mr Murray's speech. The path before the West is existential. Are we prepared to listen and take action?

[@marinaarbuck4703]

Thank you, Douglas, you are the best!

[@ravitgibali2527]

It's a joy hearing you. The unbelievable smyr of Israel, the disrespect towards Jewish hostages and disbelief of atrocities committed on the 7th and continuing till this day in gaza's tunnels is beyond comprehension for me as an Israeli

[@katrinewiner710]

You make me tear Douglas!! Thank you for your deep understanding of Israel and the deep adult view!! Thank you❤❤❤

[@richardmanoogian8513]

Great conversation I am an admirer of Douglas. You know we’re in trouble when it’s left to the skinny gay guy to tell the West to “Man Up “. Bravo, Sir

[@suzang1213]

How horrendous and impossible to understand how these evil terrorists are so proud of the atrocities they committed.

[@funfoodiesusie_1533]

Great interview spot on, Douglas articulates everything so well.

[@svetlanabrodsky2215]

Brilliant interview! 👏👏👏

[@oritcroft6263]

Moral journalism, level head clarity. Thank you , Douglas Murray.

[@MCBOJAR]

UK needs Douglas Murray as PM

[@agagas]

douglas murray is fantastic. Courage and honesty

[@servantsofchristph8700]

Listen to this man before he get silenced!

[@Maryculligan]

Brilliant! Douglas Murray. TY for supporting justice / Israel.

[@michelledreksler4158]

Well done! Let’s hope more journalists follow suit!

[@yankelovich]

Thanks, gents. Sanity exists!

[@jackiekjono]

My personal favorite anti-Israel argument is the one about Jews being ethnically European and not Arab and therefor they don't have a right to live there. The first person I heard making it was a mixed race (black dad, white mom) American girl who was very very stoned at the time. She could not see that she was arguing herself out of existence.

[@RN-lo6xc]

Excellent interviewer, incisive insights, interesting guests. Does not get better than Uncommon Knowledge.

[@tabithadorcas7763]

Thank you, gentlemen!

[@LeeGee]

Douglas Murray is for me the George Orwell of my time.

[@lfinn6125]

Proportionality? Dresden, Hiroshima, Nagasaki? Proportionality is naivety.

[@user-js6rz4vk6d]

WHY are terrorists supported and excused? At all?

[@ewannabloom]

Always so insightful, with clarity and realism.

[@kennbmondo]

Excellent show. Thank you.

[@elisahx]

On point as always! Small dose of sanity in a storm of media nonsense

[@johnnorris2716]

Thank you, DM and PR.

[@chrisspeksnijder1717]

Good talk. Good man, Douglas.

[@servantsofchristph8700]

A different tone of discussion when thinkers talk.

[@kristiLB93]

Great conversation.

[@tonya3144]

Always a pleasure, Douglas.

[@goshaletun8164]

Thanks to this channel and thanks to Douglas Murray. You are the voice of sanity in the see of intellectual madness and moral degradation. It would be very interesting to hear an analysis about how this all came to be. Is it Wests fascination with Post-Modernism? Is it something else? And the most important - How can we reverse it? How to change minds and souls of young generations?

[@OTOss8]

Woah, this'll be really good. I'd just love to sit at a dinner table with these two and listen.

[@ernazeldovich1904]

Thank you you for the observations analyses and education Brilliant mind and dedication and knowledge!!!

[@Catherine-2008]

Wise and honest as always. Thank you Douglas!

[@CrisPalacios-nj1ef]

Such a great interview. ❤

[@nickmiller4814]

Why is the term "cease fire" used and not "surrender"?

[@colleenvarlow8764]

Thank you so much. A pleasure listening to both of you.

[@asdisskagen6487]

Peter Robinson is my all-time favorite interviewer, and was doing long-form interviews long before Joe Rogan made them cool. 😂

[@angelikasusanne2830]

Great talk. Thank you so much!

[@userccvv]

“Grievance studies”: I am going to borrow the expression.

[@vickycohn4586]

Loved the message of Murray at the end! Thank you!!

[@ElanMorin]

very pleased to see Douglas Murray on Uncommon Knowledge. this will undoubtedly be a good interview.

[@AkachukwuMadueke]

Always a pleasure watching the Hoover Institutions Interviews with Peter Robinson!

[@Ronzo777]

A little advice, Hoover Institute: You make great content - however your thumbnails really aren't competing. This isn't the first time I have almost missed out on a great video because the thumbnail has been so unappealing. There's a few different ways you could change things but at the very least it being made clear that this is a one-on-one sit down conversation with a fairly major guest would be a start. I'm not being overly critical, just trying to get more eyes on your content.

[@Drewe223]

Fantastic interview as always.

[@Sprnggold]

Evil ignoramus narcissists abound and not just on the campuses. Thank you for telling it like it is.

[@Healthy-Life-Happy-Now]

Douglas, you are amazing. I tear up every time I listen to you.

[@scott2452]

Of the commonalities between the Anti-Vietnam movement of the 60’s & 70’s, I’d suggest one is that for many it is simply empathy & being presented with the harsh realities of war… but another of the commonalities is that the most vocal activists are ideologically aligned with the opponents of ‘the west’. “Aligned” rather than holding the same ideology…the communists that helped the Islamic revolution in Iran soon found out how different they were from their erstwhile allies.

[@martino8114]

I love you, Douglas Murray

[@EponymousRex]

"One day, it's Thanksgiving..."

[@andreamays7585]

Fantastic interview. Murray has a clarity of vision - TY for sharing your wisdom.

[@mbroitt]

Thank you❤

[@StevieTjelly]

Douglas Murray does not hold back😂

[@OldBenKenobi1964]

One of the foremost minds of our time. Don’t agree with everything, but he is darn special.
