Douglas Murray is back at The Free Press, where he started the column Things Worth Remembering. He is one of the most clear-eyed writers working today on the threats facing Western civilization, and I was glad to have him back on the show. We started by looking at Britain, where Keir Starmer has just resigned after two years of achieving very little. Douglas is not surprised. He walked through what Brexit actually delivered, why immigration numbers went up rather than down under the Conservatives, and what the repeated scandals and riots reveal about a political class that keeps addressing the wrong problems. It is not a cheerful picture, but Murray is characteristically honest and clear-eyed about the issues facing Britain. It’s a lesson in how to diagnose some of the same problems we know all too well in our own country. From there we turned to Iran, which Murray considers the more serious subject. He makes the case that the Iranian regime has been telling us its intentions for decades, and that the people who claim otherwise are either foolish or quietly hoping the regime succeeds. A nuclear-armed Middle East would be among the worst outcomes imaginable for the region and the world. That’s why he thinks the deal currently being discussed matters so much, and why he doesn’t think it will hold. We also get into what the recent strikes actually achieved, and why leaving a fire 10-percent lit is not the same as putting it out. 0:00-Intro 1:29-Keir Starmer's Legacy 5:25-The Southport Stabbings and Government Response 10:06-The Politicization of British Police 16:27-Brexit and the Immigration Failure 22:53-The State of British Politics and Reform 25:21-Douglas's Love for America 30:58-The Iran Deal: Win or Failure? 39:07-Iran's Nuclear Intentions 47:20-Would Mutually Assured Destruction Work on Iran? 54:02-Iran's Reckless Overseas Activities
