I've been there quietly congratulating myself on a show well done, come back home, maybe open a bottle of fine French Bordeaux, have a little glug, and then I hear Trump just got shot. And then you know and I know, okay, well, that's the next three weeks gone then. Right. And everything changes. So I love that again.
I love the dynamism of the news where things can change in a heartbeat, literally. And through the day, I'll then keep reading stuff, talking to people, might speak to a few people who've got a particular expert view about any of these issues, get a sense of what they think. You're always trying to cut through all the partisan noise and the people on the extremities of debate. The thing about X is,

You're always trying to cut through all the partisan noise and the people on the extremities of debate. The thing about X is,
I think under Elon, I might be a bit better now, but it used to be that 10% of the people on X made 80% of the noise. And you think about that, and they're normally skewing to the extremities. There's a lot of extreme noise going on, and you need to cut through that and get to an underbelly of more interesting and rational debate where people don't know what they're talking about.

You might not agree with them, but I always want to get a sense. When you and I debate, I often think, well, I don't agree with you, but actually it's a really interesting debate. Right? You've put the yards in to formulate your opinion. You're not just thinking of the first thing you've seen on TikTok. And I think they're the type of guests I like.

I like it more if I don't agree with them because it's more interesting. You're on a little journey of exploration. And I also don't like to be now, this is not how I used to be, used to be very intransigent. I mean, come to some of my more intransigent moments. which I don't look back on in glory, but I certainly feel like I want to learn from people.

I often end a debate now by saying to people, do you know what? I've learned so much from that debate, and that was really interesting. And especially when you have two sets of people who know the facts but are interpreting those facts differently, but they're not challenging the reality of what happened. They're just saying, in my opinion...

this means X, Y, Z, and the other person goes, no, no, no, it means boom, boom, boom. Try to work out actually what does it mean? People often say to me, if you go back to the start of the Israel and Palestine conflict in, say, 1948, you can go back a lot further, but say you go back to 1948, you could construct a very good argument for both sides. over the next 75 years. You could.

If you were just sitting back and just taking a set of facts and trying to present the argument for the defence of Israel or the Palestinians, you could do a powerful piece for both. And there was a Jewish journalist called Jonathan Friedland who actually said that, which I thought was interesting. And I sort of agree with that about almost all issues.
