- Who is Douglas Murray? In this conversation with Douglas and Gareth we find out about his background, his love of literature, of critical thinking and delve into a few of the global stories he’s most interested in. We also find out what Douglas thinks we can do to work out what’s important and what isn’t.
Douglas Murray is one of the world’s foremost public intellectuals, the author of several seminal works about the seismic changes in European affairs and Western Civilization and an insightful speaker on many of the most controversial issues of the moment. He has also developed an extensive and dedicated following online thanks to his debates, appearances on leading TV shows and fierce defence of his point of view.
I listen to every interview / podcast Douglas Murray does, his eloquence, and wisdom are profound, I could listen to him all day! Kudos 👏 to you Garreth for privilege of being able to chat to him. 🙏I STAND WITH ISREAL 🙏 (Christian South African woman who is deeply ashamed of this ANC government)
And there are not too many people you could say that about today. I love his work.
I am so grateful that Douglas Murray has come to South Africa. I was so dismayed by the ANC s legal action against Israel, I felt like we are damned in the eyes of the world. Thank goodness not all South Africans are judged by the government's action. Douglas's honesty is a privilege to hear in today's world. Thank you!
Since Oct 7th I have listened to everything he has said. What a wonderful intellect!.
❤🇮🇱🙏🇮🇱
Add 💥wit to your resume.. 🤦♂️
Gareth thank you for being a voice of reason in our rather sadly misinformed and uneducated country . Don’t be afraid of being cancelled,ever
Difference of opinion doesn't mean uneducated
Chances are that you are the misinformed one
Douglas Murray is an extraordinary human being.
Extraordinarily shameless apologist for genocide in Gaza
😂😂😂 if this narcissist pompous bigot is an extraordinary human being then I'm scared to think what you might be
@vivekachudamani1 Well it's not a genocide at all so he can't be an apologist for it. Israel is at war with Hamas and there is sadly collateral damage, if they wanted genocide they could wipe out Gaza in two hours. But they haven't, they're using ground troops to try and root out the terrorists. Hamas still has hostages! Should Israel leave them there? Of course not, that would never be expected of any other country. Hamas says they won't stop the attacks, so Israel has to stop them now. Stop believing the lies Hamas wants you to believe.
YES SHE CERTAINLY IS NOT ORDINARY.... A YOUNG MISSY WHO SPECIALIZES IN ISLAMAPHOBIC RHETORIC AND HASBARA PROPAGANDA....
There's a Albert Einstein quote that agrees with Douglas's take on C.S. Lewis which is "If you can't explain something in simple terms, you don't understand it."
LOVE THIS, THANK YOU
Douglas is the most important voice outside Israel. He is very aware of the issues and the horrible mist justices being forced on our country Israel.
🇵🇸
Douglas is a brilliant author, a fantastic reporter and the absolute grand master of debating.
Douglas Murray has a brilliant mind.
Oh PLeeeeeSE!! Hitchens HATED Murray.. Saw him for the cant he is..
@@richardball1879 That was uncalled for.
Yrs..a very ad hominem attack - totally against what both Murray and Hitchens stood for. Please educate yourself!
🇵🇸
Good to see Douglas is in South Africa to see the train wreck that’s the ANC. Wonder who else is hosting him and what his agenda is.
I’m a HUGE Douglas fan! Well done Gareth for a great interview👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
How I second your thoughts! DM is one of the truest and wisest orators and thinkers who have emerged, with substance, post 2008... well done, Garreth, for the courage of being controversial now!
Douglas Murray is a brilliant man with a Churchillian grasp of language and politics. I love hearing his interviews.
I watch everything Douglas does. This man is extremely bright and articulate and as a Christian, he supports our 🇮🇱
Racists masquerading as Christians again.
He is actually a secular atheist that treasures the culture produced by Judeo / Christian heritage. I.e. The West
He is a crazy Brit who somehow believes in the insane ideology of Zionism.
@@gstar3569 Well aware
How much do you think he was paid by bibi on his holiday there?
Douglas Murray, the absolute legend!
Why?
@@meandu2-fh8jrread and watch him, it’s self evident
Do your own research! This “why” business is asinine!!!!!
@@cillamurfin258 my research suggests that he is a horrible man who has no issues with bombs being dropped on innocent children 👍

Two courageous gentlemen going against the flow
We're all pleased to have you in SOUTH AFRICA DOUGLAS.
Thank you for this interview with Douglas Murray
Thank you! That was awesome. I am a South African living in Portugal who stumbled on Murray a few yea4s ago and immediately identified a damn good replacement for Christopher H.
He has covered the most current situation in Israel with such factual content and compassion. My go to guy when I want truth!
If you think Douglas Murray is a replacement for Christopher Hitchens then I pity you, you don't know anything about anything...
Douglas is my best ❤ Keep fighting the good fight.
Never thought I would see Douglas Murray on a south african podcast. Awesome.
Was very surprized, not only his visit here but in Qatar too.
I am sure that you can never forget (like I never can), how that dishonest, Western educated and privileged host questioned Douglas' very morals, and quite a lot of the audience behaved so partially to this' courageous man sitting literally alone in the lions den.
Douglas speaks from the position of 'truth'.
@@Stan-mv1ty
@@pramodwilson2354 His confidence and integrity comes from speaking the truth. When that is the case you can take on the world.
Thank you.
Yes.
Wish I could share more, but I have no words
God bless.

Douglas is a genius
He will be British PM in future
Absolutely brilliant man
Impssible.We dont elect brilliant people.Only half educated opportunists
He is brilliant and he is also far too wise to ever be Prime Minister. I wish he would enter politics, but then he would have to table everything else he does. Politicians in the UK are often a bit dim..........sad but true
Oh my goodness!
South African here, Awesome for the 2 of you!
2 great Brains!🇿🇦🇬🇧🙏🏻🦁🐑
It's always good to hear an informed, sane, and rational discussion. So rare!
Douglas is a wonderful person with very reliable information. Pleasure to listen and learn from him.
Take care of yourself
I was so excited to see this interview. I could listen to Douglas Murray all day, every day. Such an interesting, wise person. Thanks, Gareth!
I do that sometimes and am all the better for it.
I do it
Small minds get amused by rubbish
My esteem for Cliff has just risen exponentially, having Douglas Murray on. 👏🏻
Great to have u in SA Douglas, been following the war in Gaza since Oct 7, and i must say, of all i hear about this conflict, your asessment of the situation in the middle east is spot on for me as a S African..Hopefully you will have time to talk some sense into the "leaders" of this country. Keep up the good work.👍
The leaders you mentioned are only interested in money and Iran pays well.
Although Douglas is an incredibly well traveled, highly intellectual, outstanding journalist, debater par excellence, and extremely well versed in History amongst many other attributes, I am THRILLED that he is back in SA, just so he can once again affirm to himself that not ALL South Africans are lunatics such as the ANC government.
The ANC government, who, in their infinite wisdom, decided to get into bed with Iran (thereby there savage affiliates)on Israel and thought it was a brilliant idea.
The joy is that Douglas has a very public platform upon which he can call out the utter hypocrisy of this government. A platform upon which he can speak to the ideology of these sub human terrorists. A platform upon which he can speak to the truth. The absolute truth.
THANK YOU, Douglas, for returning and speaking to those of us who listen. There are many of us who do not see the corrupt, incompetent ANC as our government. I could highlight all the reasons why, but to anyone who is not blind, that would be stating the bleeding obvious!
ISRAEL 🇮🇱 WILL FINISH THIS!
The weak, woke Western world leadership calling for a ceasefire should perhaps start thinking about how they plan to deal with their hijacked cities and countries.
I'm in total agreement. 👍
Well said
100% spot on!
So so 100% true . That’s why I tell people israel are not only fighting for their lives but they are fighting and will put these sub human savages Hamas back a few years but the world needs to take note . Europe got rid of the Jews and brought in the Muslims .
An extremely good summary, very short but well said, I like it 😆
I listen to Douglas Murray more than anyone else. He is inspirational to me. I learn so much from him and love the way he speaks the truth without trying to please everyone.
He is truly an outstanding person.
Thank you for this interview.
Douglas Murray is sending Chomsky sized shockwaves throughout the world .
At last South Africans can exhibit a brilliant uncorrupted mind Douglas Murray is brilliant and a legend thank you Gareth. You should invite Tucker Carlson to your show next.
I don't trust Tucker, he stretches things to make them sensational. I think Douglas is in a different class.
@@derekaarts4997you are entitled to your opinion. Nobody stretches things like the main stream news networks CNN, BBC and others.
Douglas is a light in the darkness. God bless him for his honesty and courage!
He is the total package. Brilliant, honest, truth seeker, funny, charming, compassionate, fearless.
And fearless - says what he believes - often not what people want to hear! He does “travel” to uncomfortable places!!! Most seek to avoid them. Most are generally cowards! Well done Douglas Murray and Gareth Cliff.
Douglas murray is a treasure. I love the "no filter" approach to things. Mr Murray please let Israel know that there are alot of people in this country that fully support Israel and do not agree with the disgraceful ANC government.❤
I agree 1000%👍
You are in the minority. It's only you settlers who support another settlers state. We the natives of SA support the natives of Palestine in what is today called the Zionist state. Douglas is a treasure to those that lack knowledge and are lazy to do research beyond what this failed journalist feeds them. The only time I give him props is if he is debating the gender community. That's his level. He knows how to debate the alphabet crew. But on the Israel matter, he is out of his depth.
@@lorraineniemack6801no one cares whether you agree or not. The fact is that the minority whites are the only ones who support an apartheid state of Zion. I'm not surprised coz the minority whites called on Israel to help them with the genocide of Africans here in SA.
@@shubielechesa8836 it is obvious that you lack knowledge about Biblical History
@@lorraineniemack6801 how anti-Semitic of me😱😱😱 sue me
Gareth! What a fantastic podcast. I agree 110% with your opening remark, Douglas is indeed the only man I know who can give AI good competition! I follow Douglas Murray's interviews and I do believe that he is one of if not the only person who is a true seeker of truth. I remember in my childhood being told "the truth will always come out", how true, and he is a past master of getting the truth out. In closing may I echo your words, "Fantastic"
Thank you Douglas Murray
Douglas, I love you! You talk what I believe. Welcome to South Africa, sadly not the place it once was due to the most idiotic, corrupt government you can think of!
And the education system which has steadily eroded the "settler history" of South Africa. In the larger geo-political sphere, South Africa needs to form part of the West - not the China-Russia-Iran axis, regardless of the legacy of apartheid, it is the right side of history. Long after Putin and the ANC are gone, we will still be learning about Plato, and the ideas that shaped human civilisation.
Turns out the criminals were where they belonged and should never have been freed and given a country.
Stop being biased. BJ Vorster was the beginning of a period of foolish leadership which was exacerbated by ANC cadres. This is best seen by the infrastructure crisis that was inherited due to sunset apartheid leaders pouring funds into military expenditure(e.g. Angola, Nukes) instead of maintenance and education. Even Verwoerd spoke of the uneducated Afrikaner problem symbolic of historical education deficiencies regardless of race which were studied by Rev. William Nicol who posited the education problem is a result of language.
@@paulamarsh1 As for this, we can learn from the US, UK(Commonwealth), Germany(Nord Stream) etc who are non-aligned(hence manufacturing/investment hubs in the east.) This east-west logic is antiquated and isn't practiced by major industrial powers who trade based on price/value concerns. All G7 countries have major trade links with Eastern nations.
The ignorance of sans is shocking.Here is a racist kant being interviewed and u r all impressed
It's so refreshing to hear an interview with Mr Murray when he is not being used as a political toy to steer a narrative. It's so evident that Gareth is a hugh admirer of the man and his mind as much as I am. Thank You.
Political toy? He is no one’s political toy- that what makes him so unique & important voice; he thinks .. critically… for himself !
@@shelley4677 Yes and his views are often used to drive a narrative , it's the price you pay for becoming internationally recognised. Independently the man has unique ideas.
No no no.
Being used by whom pray tell. Israel? No one steers Murray. This man put boots on the ground. Unlike most useful idiots who march for a cause they know NOTHING about.
Welcome to SA douglas❤❤❤❤❤ just adore this man!!!
Two of my favourite human beings. What a pleasure to see you together❤
Douglas Murray should be our UK Prime Minister
Thank you, Douglas. You bring so much clarity in this mad world we live in.
He inspires me , thank you hosting him
Douglas Murray is an Incredible Gentleman ....🇨🇦
Gareth Cliff is highly underrated
I absolutely love Douglas Murray, his wit, intelligence and especially his ability to bravely say it like it is. I watched his discussion on the Jewish Report and really want to know which journalist interviewed him, claiming she was in Gaza. The one that worked for Al Jazeera previously - would love to see him set her straight!
As a Black South African Douglas Murray is one of my favourites. The ultimate debater.
A man of substance, charisma, eloquence, a pleasure to follow....
He’s so brilliantly verbose, brilliantly intellectual, fun, charismatic, and always logical and courageous. Such a treasure.
Can not get enough of him. falling in love with him. He is smart, eloquently speaker, an amazing sense of humor/sarcastic humor, and above all, a strong supporter of the state of israel.
Oh Gareth I am so excited to hear Douglas Murray in South Africa
So happy to see you in SA. Looks like our hectic sun zapped you. Great talk.
Big Douglas Murray fan here; great conversation. Loved the mention of C.S. Lewis who remains so very relevant. I’m currently reading If I Had Lunch with C.S. Lewis; Exploring the Ideas of C.S. Lewis on the Meaning of Life by Alister McGrath - delving into Lewis’ childhood and youth and his evolving views on life and Christianity.
What a treat. Thank you. Douglas Murray is discerning, erudite and a pleasure to listen to. His written word and debating skills are excellent. No. 1 fan.
douglas is one of those few people who is easy to listen to and tells us things we don't know, like that translator story
My admiration for Gareth has jumped 100 %. He is articulate, intelligent and totally wasted on our embarrassingly bad TV programs. This interview is 5 star quality.
Been a follower of Douglas for a while. Interesting to see him on a South African podcast. Well done Gareth and thank you.
Best interview/ discussion of the year so far.
`Wish I could meet this man while he was in SA. Awesome
I know, from listening to him that Murray is well educated and intelligent, but I was delighted to discover this side of Gareth Cliff. A delightful interview with an interesting meeting of minds.
Worthwhile interview, thank you to both of you
So pleased to see how well Douglas has been received in SA. I hope he’s back soon. Pretty well kept secret this time round.
Gareth Cliff + Douglas Murray = love.
Telling people what they need to know, not what they want to know. Gareth Cliff and Douglas Murray. Thank you.
Murray Douglas is a brilliant author reporter. I can listen to him all day. He’s one of the few true friends of Israel. He sees things clearly. G-D bless and protect him
Who is Murray Douglas? Is he related to Douglas Murray?
Welcome to South Africa,love your work ❤
Since Douglas (and I concur) dislike the moniker ‘brave’ for a writer then I shall say I admire his intellectual fortitude and am grateful for his moral integrity.
Thank you Gareth for interviewing Douglas Murray, whom I regard as a hero.
Gareth, thank you for hosting Douglas Murray in South Africa. Douglas is a smart gentleman, one of my favorite speakers / writers on world matters. That said, I have much respect for you Gareth, especially after seeing this interview. This interview reminds me of the interview between Douglas Murray and Tucker Carlson. I hear the same calm, respectful, articulate and intelligent communication. This was a brilliant interview. Please try to bring Dr Jordan Peterson to SA to have a similar interview. Well done Gareth.
Would love to spend an hour or two with Douglas Murrey. Incredible man!
Oh my word!!! Douglas Murray and Gareth Cliff!! Awesome!!!
Very good discussion. Interesting to listen to. I always enjoy listening to Douglas Murray. I only discovered him in the last 3-4 years. His point of view has helped me to understand and to ground myself to the madness of what is our current situations in the world. He is very wise and has courage to speak out. I admire his balanced humility. He reminds me of the saying “his wisdom is only surpassed by his humility”. Thank you for sharing this conversation. Watching from Canada.
An ardent fan of Douglas Murray. I can listen to him for hours. A brilliant mind, beautifully eloquent and he has a kind and brave heart. Thank you, Gareth.
A brilliant mind! Always worth listening to and makes so much sense in all of his debates I've watched! Unfortunately the people that should listen to him and benefit by his knowledge and wisdom, like politicians don't and that's such a pity! Such a blessing to have him in South Africa!
What a great interview! Loved it.
What a thoroughly wonderful way to wake up on a Saturday morning listening to your dulcet voices. Big welcome to these sunny climes, Douglas looks like he caught some rays. I hope he has some rest days after reporting for months in Israel. War on the West opened my eyes on what I don't know but want to find out. His book whets my appetite to explore the brainwashing in my own head. Douglas's brilliance is by challenging ideas that on the surface look virtuous but underneath hold no substance and does so with timeless wit and generosity. He has changed my mind on many belief systems I held without causing too much shame for having believed them in the first place. THANK YOU.
Douglas Murray is the most important political and social commentator in the world today. Brilliant, erudite, brave and insightful 👏🏽 he's like a character from Brideshead Revisited who's wandered into the 21st century and found it seriously lacking ❤ love that he mentioned the legendary Christopher Hitchens, the man who's still the platinum standard of language models! 🇬🇧 thank you Gareth Cliff
Am Yisrael Chai 🇮🇱♥️
Douglas is the voice of reason we need today ... 👍
Thank you for remembering Nigeria Christians. We need voices to speak out for us.
Yes, Gareth, bloody fantastic!
Douglas is such a wonderful man. I cant get enough of his wisdom and kindness
Douglas is a brilliant product of extensive reading, a vastly civilized upbringing and the common sense that comes from both. Sadly most of the world shuns reading and being civilized. I never miss an opportunity to listen to what he has to say because he speaks to my values and outlook on life. 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Fantastic Podcast.
Well done Gareth on getting this legend of a man to agree to an interview with you.
Gareth, you are an excellent interviewer! For me, you are in the same class as Douglas Murray. Proudly South African.
Trash you mean
Lovely conversation love it.
Excellent!
Incredible man Douglas you are! Admirable human.
I love the way both Gareth and Douglas think, they have their moral compasses pointing in the right direction
You were clearly happy with that Gareth and you are quite right, it was bloody great! Douglas is rarely less than superb, however you interviewed very well indeed also. Thank you
look at his humility...the more learned he is the more humble
Thank you for this. I had no idea who Douglas Murray was, but am blown away by his insight and knowledge.
I am more than grateful to have you visit our country South Africa. You are just brilliant person to spend time listening to your interviews. You know all your stuff quite well. I picked up a good advice during your talk to our Jewish community. This advice stuck in my mind ( To understand the Jewish people one need to study history diligently ). I hated the Jewish in my earlier life but God threw at me a work by Paul Johnson called THE HISTORY OF THE JEWISH. That book opened my eyes. From then on I like these people so much that I share much of their hardships, grief, happiness, they are in fact awe-inspiring people. God help the world inhabitants to understand your choosen nation. Amen. 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥. In God we trust.
I'm so very glad UA-cam let this podcast pop up on my page! Excellent interview Gareth
We love you Murray ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
We need more people like Douglas...his arguements are really based on his thorough research on something... facts, thorough, legitimate, and confident to deliver... please continue doing what your knowledge and things you are good at 🙌 🙌
I love Douglas Murray🥰
Wow, I’m shocked Douglas is in SA. I love him ❤
Brilliant Gareth!.Thank you for bringing Douglas to South Africans. 🎉❤
Hi Gareth, I left South Africa many years ago. I now live in Chile. I remember the old days of radio 702 and John Burkes and your early days in radio. It is wonderful to see you again and connect with you. I am a fossil that is 74 years old. but it is great to see you so healthy and strong. Stay safe and strong.
The thoughts on resentment and gratitude are an absolute Masterclass !!!!
So good to listen to a decent, interesting and thought provoking conversation. Wish you could both meet up for further conversations!Thanks so much to both of you.
I enjoy listening, he came onto my radar because of Christopher Hutchins
Nice to see that you are still around Gareth. Thanks to Douglas having a go at Jane Dutton. Gareth and Douglas, two great minds.Love you Jane.
