    Jordan is the closest adult leader that I have seen in a long time that I perceive to understand what it means to be a Good Shepherd. I don't care what his critics say, Everything he says and does is for the protection of those who are broken and left without a voice. God Speed Jordan. There are many false prophets in our day but you are a light in the darkness. May God heal your soul.
  • @stevejhkhfda
    You have a wonderfully polite and gentlemanly manner Winston and it is a pleasure to hear you interview people and especially JP.
  • I hope Jordan lives a very long life, the world needs his mind. When he has gone who will we have left? I'm a female and I literally listen to him for hours regularly. Whoever calls him a voice for incels is an ignorant person who clearly hasn't listened to him enough. Such a mind can not be so limited.

    Despite the sadness of leaving Mumford and Sons it's great to see Winston Marshall pursuing this avenue. Never thought I'd see an interview with these two people together, how very interesting!
  • @jerrymoore838
    Winston's style of interviewing is very good. Rare is the interviewer who has a natural feel for timing and flow. Thank you
  • @MariaBM1
    This was such an interesting interview. It's so much more interesting to listen to diverse viewpoints than to just cut them off isn't it? I am someone who believed horrible things about Jordan Peterson entirely because I'd been told he was awful. Clearly, he's not. He has some very interesting thoughts and perspectives, and this was a very thoughtful interview. Keep up the good work.
  • @maggen_me7790
    Jordan speaks wonderfully about art and the spirit of the artist 💓
  • Jordan is by far my favorite commentator on the important things challenging society these days. He articulates many of the things most of us suspect is true but don't always have the words for. He also has a way of including those he disagrees with in thoughtful conversation that is extremely rare in modern discourse. All power to him and I hope we all as individuals take on board his core ideas regarding the power of individual responsibility. As he says "we don't know the limits of that". In the people I know who embody that principle, whether they learned it through him or discovered the truth of it themselves, it most certainly has far reaching positive consequences well beyond the person making the stand. Fantastic!
  • Great interview. Thank you for letting Dr. Peterson talk without interruption. Good questions too.
  • @EddieStyle
    Wow. I can’t stopped being amazed by Peterson. He is so smart and genuine. The host is also very intelligent and has good listening skills. He is calm and asked great questions! It was very fun to watch!
  • @alandodds8250
    The first interview I've heard which permits this chap to speak freely without endless interruptions and challenges. Thanks to you both.
  • @meek2280
    When Mr. Peterson talks about emulating a spirit at the end of the interview, in relation to biblical stories and characters, oh my days this guy is something else for our generation - I am born in 1986 . Thank you Mr Peterson! As someone who found God again in a time of crisis it’s interesting to learn the parallel of the Abraham story and God spirit leading to the adventure of your life. Mr. Peterson is so valuable. I’m blessed to hear him 😊 We are literally watching this man figure out the meaning of life and helping us along the way! Hallelujah! He is dropping nuggets of wisdom all through this interview and and I will also say that his talks on the Middle East and Israel are a extremely valuable and that I recommend them.
  • JP on art "If you know exactly why you're doing it then it's probably propaganda" 100% accurate. In my experience the real meaning nearly always appears in retrospect.
  • Good to see him back in form! At one point, I had thought he was not going to be his old self ever. But now, I'm so glad to see him back and I know some of the things he is talking about. For example, the story of all those who let the privilege of having a Coca Cola after the 1 hr. 33 min. mark (or even having refrigerated water). In the sixties, in Kolkata, our school brought a Coca Cola truck every year to give us a bottle of soft drinks. For the rest of the year, I didn't have a second one and so didn't most of my friends. In the first seventeen years of my life, I must have had less than 15 bottles of soft drinks. But we had the kindest teachers who also had very little.
  • @anklebar1
    I am a liberal and love listening to Jordon. Ideas and conversation before party or labels!!!
  • I like these kinds of interviews where the interviewer just throws softball questions that trigger deeper insights and then just let Jordan go on his insightful tangents. Excellent!
  • I'm sure you must have felt a little star struck interviewing the great JP! I didn't realise you were in Mumford and sons but I'm a regular Spectator viewer and I think your contributions are often very insightful. Brilliant interview, you definitely have soul.
  • @timbaybutt172
    I was lying in bed half asleep listening to this and I had to check the video because I was convinced it was Davd Bowie conducting the interview. I've since watched it in full....excellent interview of a true genius.
  • Great conversation. JBP, as always, is infinitely interesting but hats off to Winston. He's a natural at this and I'm looking forward to listening to many more of his future interviews.
  • @MajorShot
    Brilliant interview. I only just realised at the end who Winston Marshall is - but I was going to say anyways that he was a great interviewer because he actually is well read on Peterson's work and knew how to ask the right questions. There was a few times where I was thinking the same question and then he asked it!
