Regardless of Malcolm's politics and opinions, it's awesome to see two authors engaging in great conversation

I watched that entire debate and the “wiping the floor” wasn’t really substantive. They were playing to the crowd throughout the whole debate. They actually just resorted to personal attacks.

It was fascinating to watch Jack engage in this heady conversation and then display knives at the end. Being both intellectually and physically strong makes for an interesting life.

Not a fan. Gladwell seriously discredited and beclowned himself in his debate with Matt Taibbi and Douglas Murray

Truly. His conduct during the debate sinks below further remark.

If your a student of warfare keep in mind how bad his take on northern Ireland was. He started with a concept: David can beat Goliath, then fit history to the narrative.

Douglas Murray took him to task for his many errors on this topic.

This should be interesting. I was a huge fan of Malcolm, listened to most of his audio books and Revisionist History, then I watched him debate Matt Taibbi and Douglas Murray and watched him lie, be rude and condescending to both. Not sure if I was naive before or if he changed, but I lost most of the respect I had for him watching that Monk debate

I posted this comment prior to the episode. I have a different view on things having watched the full episode. While I don't feel any different from what I wrote earlier, I realize I had incorrect expectations. I expected more of an interview, but that's not what Jack does from what I've watched of his podcast so far. His podcast is a conversation with a person. He's not a journalist or a debater getting to the bottom of a story, or trying to prove a point. I'd imagine Jack has differences of opinion on various political topics from Malcolm, but there's a reason the old adage of "don't talk politics or religion with family or friends" exists, and in the atmosphere of his podcast, it seems clear to me Jack applies this. @JackCarrUSA - I learned to like Malcolm again, and you reminded me that its fine to not like certain things about a person and still like the person. On a more general scale, its the only way this country can heal, we need to start talking to each other again and remind ourselves we have similarities or at least things that we can like about a person "on the other side". I'd imagine this is a crucial skill in military leadership, since not all of your men and women are going to agree with your political or religious belief. Thanks Man! Great episode!

Best wishes on your daughter's college journey. I know the feelings of sending a daughter off to college, a mix of happy, proud, scared and sad but mainly excited to see them begin their journey.

I’m glad you told your daughter that you would follow her a street over on the way to school. My sister and I were waiting to tell the stories my Dad didn’t know about the teen years and unfortunately he was killed in a car accident on his way to his first day of work after 32 years in the Navy. Don’t wait. Life is short. Thank you for your service and that of your family. I am a huge fan.

Great session Gents. There’s a sweet-spot / pivot-point between philosopher and warrior that is revealed through this type of discussion and genuine curiosity. More, please! 🤙🏼

This makes Journalist Anne Jacobsen interview look even more spectacular!

I just watched No Way Out with my son last night. He loved it!

It was a good thing I was sitting down when this one came across my feed last night. I can't say I ever imagined the two of you sitting down for a long chat, but I can't wait to listen to it on today's drive.

Cesar Romero was a military man and wouldn't know unless Catwoman brought up his service in Saipan. Always enjoy your little different interests and incorporate it into the show. One of the best and my favorites of any channel

Great podcast 👏 good interview as usual!

This merits a 2nd podcast

Read both of you. I’m a fan. I also love Silva I’m halfway through his series.

Jack, did you read all of the Creasy books? They are great. I haven’t read the other Quinnel books yet.

Blink is one of my favorite books.

Regarding "Outliers", it helped explain quite a bit of what I went through as a young guy in the class. Six months makes a hell of a difference.

Speaking of Texas, it's amazing natural history, the beginnings of the power of money in shaping national political power in individuals, and the fascinating truth about "Lyin' Lyndon" Johnson, I strongly recommend Volume 1 of Robert Caro's The Years of Lyndon Johnson. Edited to remove draft at bottom.

Before I listen I'm going to check that debate… might change my view on Malcolm. Let's see

Love Jack, but can't watch this. Watching the Douglas Murray debate was hard enough. And it wasn't even just that he showed himself to be just like everyone else (not a unique thought in his head) but that he was SO unintelligent about his debating. He could only go back to, "yOuR a RaCIst!" And to think he goes around tauting himself as a thinker.

I agree, it was quite strange. I know Malcom is intelligent but he showed none of it in the debate.

Munk debates with Taibbi and Murray .... Jus sayin

Edc update video soon?

Bob the Nailer!! The way Hunter pulls you into his Swagger series, like nothing I had experienced before!! Found him in 1998!!

I would also like to add that all my friends had both parents which is not the case in today’s society both parents have to work And too many kids are getting raised by television shows and daycare providers that don’t really care about them and don’t forget our schools that we don’t care either

Stephen Hunter... many great hours have been spent reading the Swagger saga's, but one of my personal favorites would be 'The Day Before Midnight.' I was a Reagan era Marine assigned to Marine Security Company, Camp David in the 80's and that book is full of action scenes in the mountains of Maryland in and around Camp David.

Thank you for this, Jack! I always appreciate how brilliant, thoughtful and genuine you are. Conversations like these remind me that we are all far more alike than we are different, regardless of our political affiliations. As you note in your books, media (on both sides) plays up those differences to make us angry to watch more, to help them earn advertising $. Conversations like these are how we repair that damage and come together.

Certainly, Gladwell was quite disingenuous when debating media integrity against journalists Matt Taibbi and author Douglas Murray. Still, I don't give a fuck about that since this is not what the conversation is about. If I'm interviewing a celebrity I admire for their acting or athletics, I'm not going to bring up their political BS. Good on Jack for having people who probably doesn't agree ideologically with him, at all, and focusing on other things.

Get ready for some TDS Jack. Gladwell is nuts.

30:00- that whole generation came from hard times. They weren’t strangers to hardship or stress. They were protected from - for good or for ill.

I watched Gunsmoke as a child and So did hundreds of my friends and none of them have shot anyone but now let’s take a look at today’s society and social media and video games such as call of duty and Grandtheft auto rethink your comments boys and do more research don’t blame a TV show from the early 70s

MUNK DEBATES ! Gladwell is a 🤡 who needs to be debated , not coddled as shown in this conversation

Jack Carr is great

Why listen to anything a Canadian has to say about America?

Does Jack have wood under the table?

Jack, have you seen the alternate ending to die hard with a vengeance. It's soooooooo much better and darker

Jack, do you speak too much about yourself as interviewer. I think the interviewee should get 70 to 80 percent of the time. You can always interview yourself.

Super interesting guy, but................ Showing himself to be the elitist intellectual liberal he really is. Malcolm is not a journalist. He's an author/sociologists/op-ed kinda guy.

Gladwell is a great conversationalist, but a poor debater.

When I watch these two, and then watch a Cam Hanes, or a Joe R podcast, I think, how pathetic.
