Douglas Murray: British Monarchy vs. Ame...

Fox News Podcasts
About this episode

On this episode, Will sits down with New York Post Columnist and author of 'The War On The West' Douglas Murray, to discuss what Queen Elizabeth II's passing means for this moment in history. 

 

Douglas and Will discuss the historic moments the Queen has lived through and why her passing signals the end of what some may see as a better era. Plus, they look at the complicated history of the British empire but ultimately conclude that despite some drawbacks, England was a force for good in the world. Will and Douglas debate whether the British monarchy or American oligarchy is better, while explaining why Americans should care about the British monarchy.
