Wow. This man even looks like Theodore Roosevelt

[lavarbukowski]

One of my most cherished possessions is a letter from Roosevelt to my Great grandfather, Ellis Parker Butler. Roosevelt was inviting him to watch him speak at Schutzen Park in NYC .

Nice of Teddy to come back from the dead to do this interview

[gruweldaad]

Watching the professor talk to Douglas about how amazing it was that Roosevelt had a naval history of the War of 1812 published at the age of 23 when Douglas himself wrote the authoritative biography of Lord Alfred Douglas when he was 19. 😂

Somehow, so0meway, please don't let this series end (even if the underlying theme changes). This kind of content is exactly what the hope of mass media was supposed to be about. These interviews have been so deep, surprising and sophisticated, yet entertaining and fun to watch. There is something being captured in this format that you can't get anywhere else: I think videos produced at this level of quality have become a serious addition and alternative to the written word. Douglas Murray is doing genuinely significant work here. It's too important to let it fade into the YouTube abyss.

These episodes are fantastic. I’m a law student with an MPhil in intellectual history and this series has been pure gold. PLEASE make a Season 2!

My favorite story was when TR sent the US Navy, the Great White Fleet to sail around the world on a mission to display US naval power. However, Congress only authorized funding for the mission to sail half-way. TR had the ships sail half-way around the world then told Congress to get them back!

I think the lousy great grandson is asking for the removal of the statue, because he knows he will never be anywhere near, the greatness of his illustrious ancestor.

[hevonperseensuti]

By the looks of his guest, Douglas Murray could've been interviewing Teddy himself. Anyway, excellent series, I've listened thrue all parts and I'm still mesmerized.

[debbiestyer]

Douglas is excellent at getting the author back on track.

[LorBell]

I am subscribed but only recently and have just binge-watched the entire series so do hope it will continue for as long as you are able. I thank you kindly for uploading these master works and still wish (hope) that the USA will return History to the classrooms so that we never again have to experience the insanity that is today. Again, thank you for offering these marvelous discussions to the masses. If I was still teaching, these would be required views.

[jjroseknows]

Douglas, I am biting the bullet and devoting my brain to learning what you are, so expertly, trying to teach us. It's so easy to follow the emotions of hot topics - where this is a slow piecing together the quilt of history, our history, that creates a better understanding of what's going on these days. Thank you!

[wagz]

Douglas needs to get his friends to promote these for him. How are the view counts so low?

[Rearmostbean]

Theodore was a near mythic man
His adventure through the Amazon with his son was fascinating.
Almost an Indiana Jones story

[shoofly]

When TR was the NYPD Police Commissioner, he had their revolvers upgraded from .32 caliber to the bigger .38 Special round for better stopping power. That was the authorized ammo until the mid 1990's when the job switched over to 9mm. Also the desk TR used as Commissioner has been used by every other PC since & is still the desk of the current PC.

What a great channel. Very high quality content, and in need of many more subscribers.

[njgrandma]

I am enjoying the conversation with Mr. McClay very much. I loved the statue in front of the American History Museum, and did not find it degrading to the two figures walking alongside TR. Yes, it was the product of another age, but why can't we be more tolerant?

[Me-svkv]

Excellent series. Please Sir, some more.

[briannicholas]

Mr. Murray, thank you for these presentations and discussions. You bring legitimate debate back into our country.
I have always admire Theodore Roosevelt, and am grateful that you have presented this academic look at him.

Douglas is a good egg. I must admit, I am a bit of an anglophile. Being that half of my ancestory is primarily Welch (the other half being Hungarian which makes me Welhung! Sadly, that the only way I can claim as much 😕😉) I do love how bloody proper English Douglas is, especially at the beginning of these episodes. Makes me think of some BBC show in the 70s. All erodite and serious.
With that said...with a wee bit of teasing to my cousins across the pond...I do appreciate Douglas' insights and views. As we would say here in the states... He's a pretty smart dude.😉 I very much enjoy this series.
