. >> ben: madness of crowds douglas murray. douglas, thanks so much for joining me. have to ask you about this approach that is being used when it comes to our politicians here in america in particular. but i believe it's happening in the u.k. as well. this performative act basically embracing wokeness as a defense maneuver to distract from the failures of your own governor nance and policy. what can we do to puncture that reality and to get the truth in front of people who certainly understand on some level that what they're being handed here is a bill of goods? >> yeah, it's such a pleasure to follow larry he would are to hear that because we so rarely get reminded of the facts. just the appalling levels of i will let race and numerous in america the world's foremost richest nation with the largest g.d.p. why do we allow this sort of thing to go on? why do we allow public schools to be pumping children out with so little proficiency and ability to enter the wilder world in the workplace? it's in part because we don't concentrate on such problems. there are so many

douglas murray is the author of madness of the crowds and he joins me now. pective. so, i said the other night on this program we are suffering from another epidemic, a epidemic of mass hysteria of the mind. you wrote madness of crowds. i'm curious, when you wrote that you thought about so many societal divisions and the madness of crowds when it came to race or gender or whatever it may be. >> did you ever think about it in terms of medical segregation? >> i didn't. i'm always tempted to do an updated addition with that in it though, because every day we see the same thing. we see the same issue. this weird crowd derangement. and all met by political leader and others who make it clear that on the national and the local stage, as much as on the international stage, they don't know what they are doing. internationally, we see american leaders who don't know what they are doing, then we see these domestic cases. sticking up barriers and sticking kids among plastic barriers that turn out not to do any good. you have mayor bill de blasio you were just talking ab

ainsley: author douglas murray joins us now to react. good morning to you. >> good morning. o leave, what's your reaction? >> yeah, this woman, laura morris, is the teacher we just heard from whose resigned really should be applauded, i think. it's clear from the tape how distressed she is about having to take this decision, but she felt she had to for reasons of conscience. as she says there, you know, it's a privilege to be a teacher it's a privilege to help the next generation of young americans grow up, to think, to be informed and to be able to go out into the world, and it's clear she says to the loudoun county board that that's not a priority, actually, to the local school authorities. in fact, in their priority system, it's things like equity class. she refers there to the equity class that says that there is a privilege in being a white female ablebodied christian teacher and this has to change, and the thing is, we all have to ask as she did, why? what's wrong with being a white christian ablebodied female teacher? what's wrong with it? if you're a good teacher, we

specifically policies against glorification of violence and platform manipulation and spasm author douglas murrayhad, haroon, who's an american trapped in afghanistan. he is risking his life to come on fox news for, to give biden a message. yet the taliban is allowed to stay on twitter. what's your reaction? >> we, it was a very moving interview, and i really hope that people in positions of power in washington hear that and act on it as fast as possible. it's an appalling situation that's occurred. as you just said there in the studio, you know, the troops were pulled out ahead of american civilian citizens, it's just unforgive bl as an oversight by the white house and the top military brass in america. but, yes, what you just mentioned there, it's an extraordinary thing, and it's something we've talked about before. you know, one of the stories that's been going on rumbling under this is the whole issue of social media platforms. twitter is perhaps the worst social media with platform in its total hypocrisy. we have seen in recent years conservative after conservative banned from the platform,

our next guest says this is no way to handle allies, british author douglas murray.rse has bolted. he didn't consult america's allies. he's spoken to them after america on the biden presidency made this catastrophe decision so there are a lot of people, among american allies, who are very sore about this. britain and the eu have the same view on this , that america should not have withdrawn at this speed, it should have consulted its allies , it should not be regarding this departure from afghanistan, this rushed departure after two decades in the country, as being the unqualified success of the white house seems to think it is. steve: well douglas, apparently, boris johnson has spoken to his advisors and it sounds like everybody at the g-7 was trying to talk biden out of it, but biden was, you know, adimate that's going to be the date, my advisors say that's the date, i'm going to follow through with it and now it sounds like the british may actually pull out the day before, next wednesday, a week from today, rather on monday, before the united states. >> britain re

douglas joins us to react. good morning, mr. murray >> morning.hat's absolutely right. we should name the names of these people, west chester school board chris mattoon and the outgoing retiring superintendent jim scanlon. they were in charge of this meeting and i can only imagine what the mother in question felt about this. you know, i've known many people who have had to flee around under the awful totalitarian dictatorship that has existed there since 1979 and everyone in that nations rights were taken away, writes that we in america take for granted, freedom of speech, freedom of congress and much more and here she is in america with this totalitarian school board just deciding, not just how they should indoctrinate the children with this weird new ideology of the crt, as the mother quite rightly said one of the people on the school board said you can't teach history without teaching crt. watch cracks how did we teach history until a day ago? they say all these things and make these assertions and then they say you have no right to say that we
