WILL: SO LOOK AT THIS.
PROTESTS ERUPTING IN VIENNA THIS
WEEKEND AHEAD OF AUSTRIA’S
PLANNED COVID-19 LOCKDOWN BUT
THE COUNTRY IS ALSO ANNOUNCING
IT WILL CLOSE 10 DAYS STARTING
MONDAY, AND, AND, VACCINES WILL
BE MADE MANDATORY BY NEXT YEAR
CHAOS BROKE OUT IN THE
NETHERLANDS WHERE RIOTS TURNED
VIOLENT.
FIVE POLICE OFFICERS WERE HURT,
SEVEN PEOPLE WERE ARRESTED.
HERE TO REACT, DOUGLAS MURRAY,
THE MADNESS OF CROWDS, GENDER,
RACER IDENTITY AROUND THE
STRANGE DEATH OF EUROPE.
GOOD TO SEE DOUGLAS IN STUDIO.
WE WERE TALKING ABOUT.
YOU JUST MOVED TO NEW YORK, WHEN
IT COMES TO WOKISM THE UNITED
STATES EXPORTS THIS TO EUROPE.
>> FOR SURE.
WILL: NASCENT IN ENGLAND.
IT IS NOT AS BIG AS IT IS HERE
FOR EXAMPLE IN NEW YORK.
BUT I CAN’T FIGURE OUT WHERE WE
ARE IN COVID?
WHO FOLLOWS WHOM WHEN IT COMES
TO COVID?
IS EUROPE ON THE FRONT EDGE OR
WE ON THE FRONT EDGE OF BEING
AUTHORITARIAN?
>> EUROPE HAS SOMETHING AT LEAST
IN THE U.S. YOU CAN DECIDE THIS
STATE BY STATE.
IF YOU DON’T LIKE ONE PARTICULAR
STATE, YOU CAN IF YOU’RE
FLEXIBLE ENOUGH, LUCKY ENOUGH
YOU CAN MOVE TO A STATE WHERE IT
IS BETTER FOR YOU.
LAST YEAR WHEN I WAS COVERING
THE ELECTION AT ONE POINT I FLEW
FROM SEATTLE AND PORTLAND,
OREGON STRAIGHT TO PENSACOLA,
FLORIDA, IT WAS LIKE LIVING IN
TWO DIFFERENT CONTINENTS, NEVER
MIND THE SAME COUNTRY.
IN EUROPE, IF YOU’RE IN A
PARTICULAR COUNTRY YOU’RE STUCK.
THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY
WE SEE THIS INCREDIBLE PENT-UP
ANGER IN COUNTRIES LIKE AUSTRIA.
AUSTRIA WAS TALKING EARLIER THIS
WEEK OF HAVING A LOCKDOWN ONLY
FOR THE UNVACCINATED.
WILL: RIGHT.
>> IF YOU’RE NOT VACCINATED YOU
CAN’T LEAVE YOUR HOUSE.
SO THEY WERE TRYING TO MAKE THIS
AS DIFFICULT AS POSSIBLE.
NOW THEY DECIDED TO MAKE IT A
NATIONWIDE VACCINE.
GERMANY IS TALKING ABOUT
FOLLOWING SUIT.
IF YOU’RE IN IN THE CZECH
REPUBLIC, OR SLOVAKIA, THE
GOVERNMENT TREATS YOU IF YOU’RE
NOT VACCINATED BEING A DIFFERENT
CATEGORY OF EVERY OTHER PERSON
IN THE COUNTRY.
I’M VACCINATED.
I HAVE FOUR VACCINATIONS.
I’M NOT FOR THESE MANDATES.
WILL: THAT IS WHY I ASK YOU WHO
IS ON THE CUTTING-EDGE WHILE
YOU’RE SAYING EUROPE KIND OF
FOLLOWS THE U.S. WHEN IT COMES
TO THE WOKE MOVEMENT.
I’M WORRIED WHEN I WATCH AUSTRIA
INVOKE A NATIONWIDE VACCINE
MANDATE IS THAT SOON COMING TO
THE UNITED STATES?
>> I DON’T THINK IT WILL BECAUSE
ISSUE OF STATE BY STATE
DIFFERENCE.
I DON’T THINK THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE WILL PUT UP WITH IT.
I JUST DON’T THINK THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE WILL PUT UP WITH IT.
WHAT VARIOUS COUNTRIES IN EUROPE
ARE TOLD TO PUT UP ARE INSANE.
THAT IS WHY WE SAW THE OUTBREAK
OF VIOLENCE IN ROTTERDAM IN THE
NETHERLANDS.
PEOPLE DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
THEY’RE TREATED AS SECOND CLASS
CITIZENS IF THEY DON’T HAVE THE
VACCINE.
HERE IS THE OTHER THING.
I’M NOT SKEPTICAL ABOUT THE
VACCINE, ORDINARY MEMBER OF THE
PUBLIC, LOOK WHAT YOU’VE BEEN
TOLD, YOU SEE PEOPLE TRIPLE
BOOSTED, STILL GETTING VIRUS AND
MUCH MORE, THEY’RE WONDERING
WHAT THEY ARE BEING TOLD.
WE HAVE A VIRUS PRIMARILY
TARGETS FOR INSTANCE THE OBESE.
WHICH COUNTRY IN THE WORLD,
WHICH COUNTRY IN THE WORLD HAS
HAD ANY KIND OF CAMPAIGN AGAINST
OBESITY?
NONE.
BUT THEY LOCK UP THE ENTIRE
PUBLIC, THEY MAKE EVERYBODY GO
INTO THEIR HOUSES.
THEY SAY IF YOU AREN’T
VACCINATED YOU’RE A SECOND-CLASS
CITIZEN.
OF COURSE PEOPLE ARE SUSPICIOUS.
AND OF COURSE THEY’RE WORRIED.
WILL: YOU KNOW IN EUROPE’S
HISTORY WITH AUTHORITARIANISM
ALMOST A CAUTIONARY TALE HERE.
>> RIGHT.
NOT LIKE THE AUSTRIANS AND THE
GERMANS DON’T HAVE GOOD REASON
TO WORRY WHEN THE GOVERNMENT
TELLS THEM IT WILL OVERREACH.
WILL: RIGHT.
>> YOU KNOW?
WILL: THIS IS TYPE OF STUFF NOT
TO BE HYPERBOLIC, I DON’T THINK
IT IS, SINCE THE MID 19th
CENTURY, MID 20th CENTURY.
>> WE HAVEN’T SEEN BEFORE PEOPLE
ARE TOLD THEY ARE PUT INTO TWO
CATEGORIES OF CITIZEN, THE
VACCINATED AND THE UNVACCINATED.
RESPONSIBLE AND IRRESPONSIBLE.
AS I SAID IN THE PIECE IN
TELEGRAPH, THIS WOULD BE
UNDERSTANDABLE IF COVID WAS
EBOLA, YOU KNOW?
IT COULD BE UNDERSTANDABLE IF
COVID WAS EBOLA BUT IT ISN’T.
IT IS A DEADLY VIRUS FOR MANY
PEOPLE WHO HAVEN’T BEEN
ADDRESSED BUT IT ISN’T, IT ISN’T
THE VIRUS THAT THEY’RE
PRESENTING, YOU TRAMPLE ON EVERY
SINGLE HUMAN RIGHT OF EVERY
MEMBER OF YOUR CITIZENTRY.
