The Peter McCormack Show

Tom Bilyeu joins me to discuss debt, money printing, broken politics, AI, Bitcoin and why the economy feels rigged against ordinary people. Tom argues that every empire eventually faces the same test: whether it can hold the power of the money printer without printing itself into oblivion. We talk about inflation, the debt cycle, asset prices, populism, Britain’s decline, and why the working and middle class are being squeezed. We also get into AI and the future of work. I talk through my own recent experience building a system in seven days that would once have taken a full team and hundreds of thousands of pounds, and Tom explains how AI has already changed the structure of his business. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - The Economy Is Rigged00:01:09 - Are We Driving Off a Fiscal Cliff?00:03:04 - Debt, Money Printing and Inflation00:04:36 - The Final Boss of Economics00:07:02 - America’s Founding and Wealth Extraction00:10:19 - Can America Be Saved?00:11:46 - Economics Has Physics00:16:06 - Debt, Cancellation and Freedom00:19:03 - The Thucydides Trap00:21:42 - Politics Has Not Been Disrupted00:25:15 - Populism and the Shrinking Pie00:29:07 - Asset Inflation Is Vile00:35:59 - UK Politics Is Breaking Down00:40:36 - Is Sweden Really Socialist?00:42:40 - Where Is the Hope?00:50:16 - Tom’s View on Bitcoin00:53:17 - Peter’s AI Eureka Moment00:57:56 - How AI Changed Tom’s Business01:03:02 - The Four Futures of AI01:12:56 - Is Reality a Simulation?01:24:34 - Tom’s Final Warning - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE› Website – http://petermccormack.com› Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact› Email – me@petermccormack.com› Instagram – /mccormack555› X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH TOM BILYEU› Twitter – https://x.com/TomBilyeu› YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/c/TomBilyeu SPONSORS› IREN - https://www.iren.com/› LEDN - https://www.ledn.io/peter - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE› Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K› Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu› Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM› YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM› Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR› https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/› https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK› https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

Frank Wright joins me after going viral for saying that reality, not extremism, is radicalising people. We discuss Britain’s decline, Restore, Reform, immigration, national identity, liberal democracy, working-class dignity, debt, inflation, the failure of our institutions, and why Frank believes this is the last chance to save the nation. I push Frank on what it actually means to restore Britain, how you build a big enough tent, why nationhood matters, and how we avoid this ending in conflict. Whatever your politics, Frank has clearly touched a nerve - and I wanted to understand why. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - Reality Is Radicalising People00:01:01 - Frank’s Viral Week00:03:28 - Why People Refuse to See Reality00:06:44 - Feminism, Childcare and Family00:10:04 - Propaganda in the West00:16:30 - Factists, Fascists and Utopia00:21:09 - Liberal Rights and Reality00:29:59 - What Does Frank Wright Want?00:36:31 - What Radicalised Frank?00:44:53 - Reform, Restore and Machine Politics00:49:04 - Rupert Lowe and “I Don’t Care”00:52:23 - The Cost of Saying Nothing00:54:45 - Reform vs Restore01:00:27 - Is Populism Enough?01:14:49 - Surrogacy and the Commodification of Life01:18:38 - Who Really Runs Britain?01:24:03 - The Cost of Truth01:27:23 - Are We Finished?01:33:22 - Why Nationhood Matters01:38:16 - Working-Class Dignity01:47:00 - Restore in Makerfield01:57:22 - Will Frank Wright Become an MP?02:04:23 - Why Government Can’t Govern02:18:21 - Debt, Inflation and the Middle Class02:29:45 - Frank’s Final Warning - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE› Website – http://petermccormack.com› Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact› Email – me@petermccormack.com› Instagram – /mccormack555› X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH FRANK WRIGHT› SubStack – https://www.frankwrighter.com/› Twitter – https://x.com/frankwrighter SPONSORS› LEDN - https://www.ledn.io/peter› Ground News - https://ground.news/peterm - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE› Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K› Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu› Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM› YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM› Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR› https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/› https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK› https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

Simon Dixon joins me to discuss AI, Bitcoin, algorithms, media capture, central banking, programmable money, geopolitics and how to escape the system. Simon argues that the world is moving towards a more centralised architecture of artificial intelligence, social credit scores, programmable money and financial control. Simon and I discuss why AI may be the most important opportunity of our lifetime, how small businesses can now build tools that once required entire teams, why politics may no longer be the route to change, and why the answer may be to build with AI, own assets that cannot easily be captured, and become sovereign. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - Take the Golden Pill 00:01:22 - Are We Slaves to the Algorithm? 00:02:50 - Freedom of Speech, Not Freedom of Reach 00:07:27 - Is Media Just About Power? 00:10:00 - Why Scale Gets Captured 00:13:08 - Bitcoin, Self-Custody and Sovereignty 00:17:29 - What Is at Stake? 00:18:49 - Is AI Different from the Internet? 00:20:11 - Building With AI 00:25:18 - AI and the Software Apocalypse 00:26:33 - You’re Done, You’re Cooked 00:30:49 - These Companies Can Turn You Off 00:31:37 - Is China Winning Open-Source AI? 00:36:53 - Money Printing, BlackRock and the Fed 00:40:05 - World War III or Currency War? 00:48:01 - The Petrodollar Is Breaking 01:01:20 - Before It Was Ships, Now It’s AI 01:05:26 - Politics Is Gone 01:18:54 - London Is Cooked 01:29:43 - The Golden Pill 01:44:52 - Advice to Young People - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE› Website – http://petermccormack.com› Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact› Email – me@petermccormack.com› Instagram – /mccormack555› X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH SIMON DIXON› Website – https://www.simondixon.com/› Twitter – https://x.com/SimonDixonTwitt SPONSORS› IREN - https://www.iren.com/› LEDN - https://www.ledn.io/peter› Ground News - https://ground.news/peterm - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE› Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K› Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu› Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM› YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM› Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR› https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/› https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK› https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

They discuss state spending, political fragmentation, Scotland’s elections, Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations, QE, the Bank of England, first jobs, minimum wage, small businesses, quangos, the managerial class, Reform, the Greens, America, and whether Britain needs a welfare economy or a wealth economy. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - Britain Forgot How to Create Wealth00:01:01 - Two Revolutions at Once00:01:36 - Is Democracy Fragmenting?00:05:36 - Is the State Too Dysfunctional to Deliver?00:07:30 - Spending More and Getting Less00:08:42 - Scotland’s Political Warning00:10:06 - “I Won’t Vote for Decline”00:11:22 - Britain Has Stopped Creating Wealth00:13:21 - How to Think vs What to Think00:16:50 - Why First Jobs Matter00:23:12 - Business Prevention Officers00:27:14 - Trickle-Up Economics00:30:34 - QE Protected the Rich00:37:31 - The Managerial Class00:40:48 - Parliament vs the Public00:44:42 - Why Voters Are Fed Up00:50:28 - Can Reform Fix the System?00:55:05 - Welfare Economy vs Wealth Economy00:58:37 - Can the State Get Any Bigger?01:04:34 - Britain Is Being Left Behind - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE› Website – http://petermccormack.com› Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact› Email – me@petermccormack.com› Instagram – /mccormack555› X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH MALCOLM OFFORD› Twitter – https://x.com/Malcolm_Offord SPONSORS› IREN - https://www.iren.com› LEDN - https://www.ledn.io/peter - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE› Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K› Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu› Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM› YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM› Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR› https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/› https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK› https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

Rupert Lowe joins Peter McCormack to discuss Restore Britain, Reform UK, immigration, Parliament, the judiciary, the civil service, tax, welfare, young people, the Green Party, the private sector, Bitcoin, inflation and whether Britain can still be saved. Rupert argues that the state has become too powerful, Britain may no longer have the rule of law, the private sector is dying, and Restore’s mission is to return power to the people. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - The State Has Become the Enemy00:01:02 - Has Voting Stopped Working?00:05:49 - How Dysfunctional Is the State?00:06:58 - The Complaint System Inside Parliament00:12:46 - “The People Who Lead Britain Are Bad”00:13:12 - Has Britain Lost the Rule of Law?00:19:13 - Immigration and the Future of Europe00:22:59 - What Does Getting Your Country Back Mean?00:25:39 - Britain’s 22,000-Page Tax Code00:28:09 - Fabianism and the Growth of the State00:32:34 - Can One MP Fight the Machine?00:35:49 - How Restore Mobilised the Apathetic00:38:48 - Makerfield, Burnham and the By-Election00:45:39 - Why the Private Sector Is Dying00:52:17 - How Do You Fix Inflation?00:59:32 - Is Reform Managed Opposition?01:08:14 - Restore’s Immigration Policy01:14:35 - The Triple Lock and the Baby Boomers01:16:17 - Why Young People Are Going Green01:25:27 - What Happens If Restore Fails? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE› Website – http://petermccormack.com› Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact› Email – me@petermccormack.com› Instagram – /mccormack555› X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH RUPERT LOWE› X/Twitter – https://x.com/RupertLowe10› Website – https://www.restorebritain.org.uk/join_us SPONSORS› IREN - https://www.iren.com› Ground News - https://ground.news/peterm› Monetary Metals - https://www.Monetary-Metals.com/McCormack - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE› Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K› Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu› Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM› YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM› Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR› https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/› https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK› https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

Physicist Professor Melvin Vopson joins Peter McCormack to discuss information physics, simulation theory, AI, digital life, consciousness, God, free will, and death.

Roman Yampolskiy believes reality itself may not be real. One of the world’s leading AI safety researchers, Roman has spent years warning that humanity is racing toward systems we may never be able to control. But we go somewhere much stranger than artificial intelligence. He believes the universe itself may be artificial. We talk about simulation theory, digital physics, consciousness, AI agents and the terrifying possibility that reality is rendered rather than real. Roman explains:•⁠ ⁠Why he believes we may already be living inside a simulation•⁠ ⁠Why the speed of light may be the limit of a cosmic processor•⁠ ⁠Why the Big Bang may have been “someone turning on the system”•⁠ ⁠Why you can never truly prove reality is real•⁠ ⁠Whether this world could itself be a prison or test environment•⁠ ⁠Why advanced AI may eventually learn deception and self-preservation•⁠ ⁠How AI systems are already behaving unpredictably•⁠ ⁠And why the race toward superintelligence may end civilisation itself - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - We’re Probably In A Simulation00:02:55 -The Verge Of Singularity00:05:51 - Are Humans Building Their Own Replacement?00:07:09 - Why Pain Still Matters00:10:03 - You Can’t Prove Reality00:15:56 - Quantum Physics Looks Simulated00:20:19 - Can We Escape The Simulation?00:22:46 - What Superintelligence Unlocks00:25:36 - AI Doesn’t Share Our Goals00:28:20 - The Exponential Curve Is Here00:31:52 - Why We Shouldn’t Build AGI00:33:48 - The Trillion Dollar Rationalisation00:40:13 - The China AI Race00:40:50 - Betting Humanity Without Consent00:47:09 - We Don’t Know What AI Can Do00:47:52 - Every AI Company Is The Same00:54:35 - They Already Can’t Control It00:59:42 - The Natural Drives Of AI01:02:20 - AI Can Afford To Wait01:19:05 - Stop Building Superintelligence - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE› Website – http://petermccormack.com› Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact› Email – me@petermccormack.com› Instagram – /mccormack555› X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH ROMAN YAMPOLSKIY› Twitter – https://x.com/romanyam› Website – https://faculty.cse.louisville.edu/roman/ SPONSORS› IREN - https://www.iren.com› LEDN - https://www.ledn.io/peter - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE› Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K› Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu› Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM› YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM› Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR› https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/› https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK› https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

Two brothers who escaped Russia say we have 2 years before AI replaces us - and we're paying the corporations building it. Daniil & David Liberman sold their first company to Snapchat. Now they're racing to build a decentralised alternative to OpenAI and Google before the window closes. They explain why centralised AI ends in a two-tier world - a small elite with access, and the rest of us as "moving parts" - and why the next 24 months decide which path we take. In this episode:→ Why you can't opt out of AI and stay competitive→ The recursive loop: AI is now writing AI→ Why the kill switch won't work→ What they saw inside Russia in 2008 that's happening now with AI→ The darkest scenario they almost didn't want to say out loud - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - AI & Human Freedom00:01:51 - Invisible Slavery00:05:00 - Bitcoin vs AI Centralisation00:10:25 - AI Addiction Begins00:14:27 - The End Of Upward Mobility00:17:33 - The Beautiful AI Future00:23:16 - Why Monopolies Win00:32:36 - Inflation, AI & Collapse00:45:16 - Bitcoin As AI Blueprint01:01:45 - The Mythos Fear01:17:48 - “One Year Left”01:43:05 - The Darkest Scenario01:58:13 - Racing Towards The Wall - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE› Website – http://petermccormack.com› Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact› Email – me@petermccormack.com› Instagram – /mccormack555› X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH LIBERMAN BROTHERS› Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/libermans/› Twitter – https://x.com/DaLiberman› Website – https://www.libermans.co/ SPONSORS› IREN - https://www.iren.com› LEDN - https://www.ledn.io/peter› Incogni - https://incogni.com/peter - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE› Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K› Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu› Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM› YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM› Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR› https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/› https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK› https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

Graham Linehan wrote Father Ted, Black Books and The IT Crowd. Five BAFTAs. Then he said women's spaces should be for women, and the industry that built him decided he was a bigot. He lost his marriage, his career and twenty-five years of friendships. Once one of the most celebrated comedy writers of his generation, Graham became the first major artistic figure to be comprehensively cancelled for speaking out on sex-based rights - and has never gone quiet to claw his reputation back. He explains:•⁠ ⁠Why the people who built their careers alongside him refused to defend him•⁠ ⁠How a movement that didn't exist a decade ago captured medicine, sport, prisons and the BBC without a fight•⁠ ⁠Why women's sport, female-only spaces and child safeguarding became unsayable inside his industry almost overnight•⁠ ⁠How smartphones, algorithms and the collapse of physical community made a generation defenceless against ideological capture•⁠ ⁠Why activism replaced music, fashion and culture for a generation that was supposed to be having fun•⁠ ⁠What being arrested - and watching no-one call to ask if he was alright - actually teaches you about the people around you - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - The Cost Of Speaking Out00:00:52 - They All Abandoned Me00:10:54 - Where The Trans Movement Came From00:24:55 - Sponsor Ad: Ledn00:25:53 - Women's Sport, Self-ID, And Mixed-Sex Prisons00:43:52 - Arrested - And No-One Called00:48:26 - Phones, Algorithms, And The Anxious Generation00:52:56 - Sponsor Ad: Monetary Metals00:54:05 - The Father Whose Daughter Took Testosterone01:04:08 - Everything Is Going To Shit01:20:08 - October 7th And What Radicalised Him01:34:18 - Where We Are In Ten Years - And Always Tell The Truth - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE› Website – http://petermccormack.com› Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact› Email – me@petermccormack.com› Instagram – /mccormack555› X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH GRAHAM LINEHAN› Twitter – https://x.com/Glinner› Substack – https://grahamlinehan.substack.com/ SPONSORS› LEDN - https://www.ledn.io/peter› Monetary Metals - https://www.Monetary-Metals.com/McCormack - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE› Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K› Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu› Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM› YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM› Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR› https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/› https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK› https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

The economy you grew up in is ending and most people have no plan. Bitcoin pioneer Michael Saylor reveals why you have 10 years to adapt before AI rewrites everything. Michael Saylor is the founder of MicroStrategy and one of the most influential voices on money, capital and the future of value. A Wall Street outsider turned Bitcoin's most prominent corporate advocate, he is known for his sweeping frameworks on monetary debasement, technological disruption and how civilisations rise and fall - and what individuals must do to thrive inside them. He explains:•⁠ ⁠Why the global currency system is quietly making you poorer every year•⁠ ⁠⁠Why working hard is no longer the path to wealth it once was•⁠ ⁠⁠How AI and automation are about to demonetise human labour•⁠ ⁠⁠Why you have roughly 10 years to stake your claim in the new economy•⁠ ⁠⁠Why owning scarce assets is now the only real form of financial security•⁠ ⁠⁠How the coming explosion in prosperity will leave most people behind•⁠ ⁠⁠Why Bitcoin represents the highest form of capital ever created•⁠ ⁠⁠The single biggest mistake that will define who wins and loses in the next decade - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - Why You Feel Poorer00:01:23 - The 7% Debasement00:05:15 - Currency Tiers Explained00:10:29 - Rise And Collapse00:13:24 - Government Gets Too Big00:18:10 - What Actually Gets Cheaper00:22:03 - How To Preserve Wealth00:27:04 - AI Kills Human Value00:32:04 - The Next 10 Years00:39:40 - What Bitcoin Actually Is00:49:00 - Bitcoin For Everyone00:56:01 - The Real Breakthrough01:01:21 - Bitcoin Has Won01:04:40 - The 10% Bank Account01:10:00 - Risk And Reality - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE› Website – http://petermccormack.com› Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact› Email – me@petermccormack.com› Instagram – /mccormack555› X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH MICHAEL SAYLOR› Twitter – https://x.com/saylor› Website – https://www.strategy.com/ SPONSORS› IREN - https://www.iren.com› LEDN - https://www.ledn.io/peter› Monetary Metals - https://www.Monetary-Metals.com/McCormack - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE› Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K› Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu› Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM› YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM› Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR› https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/› https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK› https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, I sit down with Andrew Wilson to discuss what so many people are starting to ask but struggle to answer:Why does modern life feel like it isn’t working anymore? We discuss rising political division, economic pressure and a growing sense of dissatisfaction - and what might actually be driving it. Andrew explains that many of today’s problems aren’t just political or economic, but cultural - and that culture itself is shaped by something even more fundamental: shared values, belief systems, and community. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 – Something Feels Broken00:01:19 – “Soul of America”00:03:57 – What’s Really Going On00:05:00 – The Loss of Shared Values00:07:19 – Why Society Needs Morality00:09:33 – The Role of Religion00:24:25 – The Missing Piece: Community00:29:28 – Why Success Feels Empty00:41:00 – Why Systems Always Fail00:51:30 – The Birth Rate Crisis01:02:03 – The Ideological War01:13:50 – How Culture Changed01:36:38 – Why Dating Is Broken01:48:39 – What Happens Next - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE› Website – http://petermccormack.com› Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact› Email – me@petermccormack.com› Instagram – /mccormack555› X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH ANDREW WILSON› Twitter – https://x.com/paleochristcon› YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcElhVVk9ynDL4zkP-eGsfA SPONSORS› LEDN - https://www.ledn.io/peter› Monetary Metals - https://www.Monetary-Metals.com/McCormack - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE› Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K› Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu› Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM› YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM› Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR› https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/› https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK› https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

Preston Byrne is the only American lawyer fighting the UK's attempt to censor US companies under the Online Safety Act. He's representing 4chan, Kiwi Farms, Gab and Sanctioned Suicide - pro bono - because no other firm would take the cases. In this interview, Preston explains why Britain isn't a free country anymore, what Ofcom actually claims the power to do to American websites and why he says the UK is trying to enforce British censorship law on American soil. We get into the moment that started him down this path - a 16-year-old getting a criminal summons from the City of London Police for holding a sign - and why two decades later he believes the rest of the country is finally catching up to what he saw then. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - The Cases No One Else Would Take00:03:06 - From Banking Lawyer To Free Speech Fight00:05:00 - "I Didn't Know How Important It Was Until It Was Taken Away"00:06:49 - The Sign That Started Everything00:13:50 - What Ofcom Actually Is00:17:09 - The Question Britain Has Never Asked00:21:11 - Why Reform And The Greens Both Get It Wrong00:24:23 - Drafting A British First Amendment00:28:21 - What The Bill Keeps, What It Repeals00:31:56 - "I'm Not Setting Foot In The UK"00:34:02 - The Career Cost Of This Fight00:36:55 - Death Threats From UK IPs00:37:33 - The Libertarian Case For Using The Courts00:40:00 - Why Age Verification Isn't The Answer00:45:00 - The VPN Problem Australia Created00:46:28 - "The System Is Designed To Produce Violations"00:49:16 - Where The First Amendment Actually Stops00:52:45 - The Marmot Liberation Front00:54:52 - Mr Whiskers Vs Ofcom01:00:00 - Holding The Perimeter For 30 Million Users01:04:00 - Why No Big Law Firm Will Touch This01:09:05 - Defending Clients You Personally Find Difficult01:20:00 - 197 Notices Sent Into America01:22:18 - The GRANITE Act, Explained01:25:00 - "£46 Billion Sitting At The Federal Reserve"01:26:10 - Wyoming First, Then Delaware, Then Federal01:30:17 - "Are We A Free Country Anymore?

Hans Niemann on beating Magnus Carlsen, the cheating accusations that nearly ended his career, and the "chess mafia" he says tried to destroy his life. At 19, Hans Niemann beat the world's greatest chess player. Magnus Carlsen withdrew without explanation. Within weeks, Niemann was facing global cheating accusations, blacklisting from his own federation, and a fight to save his career. Four years on, he's world No. 12 and still climbing. In this interview, Hans addresses everything: what Magnus actually saw at the board, the $100 prize he won at 12 that became "the greatest crime" of the saga, the 70-page report and what was really in it, the time Magnus was caught taking a move on his own livestream, and the top-10 player banned for cheating whose name was never published. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - Hans On Magnus00:01:20 - What Did Magnus See When You Beat Him?00:04:40 - "I'm Closer To The Older Players"00:07:20 - Being Called A Cheat At 1900:11:30 - The Chess Mafia00:15:25 - Could You Catch Magnus?00:29:30 - The Cheating Accusations, The Cost00:35:55 - Bitterness Is Poison00:38:25 - WHO Believed The Allegations And Why00:40:40 - Losing Faith In The Media00:43:15 - Navigating Infamy At 1900:45:50 - Naming Chess.com00:48:35 - "Magnus Was Gaslit"00:52:55 - What Did You Actually Admit To?00:55:40 - Magnus Cheated On Camera00:57:00 - Does Magnus Believe You Cheated?00:59:20 - The God Complex01:01:00 - The Dana White Of Chess01:03:15 - Chess As Soft Power01:07:00 - Chess In Every School01:22:20 - Scores To Settle01:23:15 - Washington Square Park - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE› Website – http://petermccormack.com› Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact› Email – me@petermccormack.com› Instagram – /mccormack555› X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH HANS NIEMANN› Twitter – https://x.com/HansMokeNiemann› Website – https://endgame.ai/ SPONSORS› IREN - https://www.iren.com› LEDN - https://www.ledn.io/peter› Monetary Metals - https://www.Monetary-Metals.com/McCormack - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE› Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K› Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu› Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM› YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM› Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR› https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/› https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK› https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

Britain is now poorer than the poorest American state and economist Andrew Lilico says a full-blown fiscal crisis is coming within ten years. He explains how Britain broke itself, why the political establishment lost its faith and the £180 billion in spending cuts he believes should be the baseline, not the radical option. Andrew Lilico is Executive Director of Europe Economics and Chairman of the IEA Shadow Monetary Policy Committee. He is one of Britain's most prominent economists and a regular voice on UK fiscal policy. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - Britain Is Poorer Than We Pretend00:01:17 - The Coming Fiscal Crisis00:02:48 - The Three Forms Of A UK Fiscal Crisis00:05:00 - How Britain Betrayed A Generation00:09:11 - ONE Oligarchy Or Competing Ones00:13:06 - The 20-year Loss Of Coherence In British Politics00:15:00 - Why Politicians No Longer Trust Voters00:17:56 - When The System Broke00:19:42 - Short-Termism And The Death Of Economic Justice00:22:34 - WHO Actually Runs Britain00:25:00 - Bank Of England Independence And Its Hidden Cost00:30:00 - Do We Need An Anti-establishment Movement?00:33:00 - Why Reform Is Diluting Its Own Message00:40:00 - £180 Billion In Spending Cuts00:43:13 - The Bank Of England Back Under Political Control00:44:05 - The "Surrealist Game" Of Inflation Targets00:50:00 - Is It Really The Voters' Fault?00:54:00 - What The Polls Are Telling US 00:55:30 - Is There An Optimistic Path Out Of This?01:03:12 - UK GDP Per Capita Used To Be Higher Than The US01:05:44 - What Britain Can Learn From Argentina01:10:35 - What Should An Ordinary Person Do? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE› Website – http://petermccormack.com› Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact› Email – me@petermccormack.com› Instagram – /mccormack555› X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH ANDREW LILLICO› Twitter – https://x.com/andrew_lilico› Website – https://www.telegraph.co.uk/authors/a/ak-ao/andrew-lilico/ SPONSORS› IREN - https://www.iren.com› Incogni - https://incogni.com/› Saily - https://saily.com/peter - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE› Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K› Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu› Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM› YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM› Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR› https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/› https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK› https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

Freddie New studied the classics and has spent years obsessing over one question: how does a superpower destroy itself? The answer, he argues, is always the same - it starts with the money. In this conversation we map the fall of Rome directly onto the West today. The Roman denarius lost 97% of its purchasing power over 150 years. The British pound has lost 95% of its in the last century alone. The parallels don't stop there - military overstretch, a dependent population kept loyal by the state, leaders who can't stop the printing even when they know it's killing them. Rome couldn't stop. We can't either. Freddie has read all 1.5 million words of Edward Gibbon's History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. In this conversation he explains what that teaches us about where we are right now - and whether there is a way out. In this episode:•⁠ ⁠How Rome debased the denarius from 100% silver to 3% over 300 years•⁠ ⁠Why currency debasement always starts slowly and why it can never be stopped•⁠ ⁠The eerie similarity between Rome's military dependence and modern welfare states•⁠ ⁠What Diocletian's price controls tell us about every government's response to inflation•⁠ ⁠Why Constantine's hard money reset saved the empire for another generation•⁠ ⁠What hard money offers that fiat never can•⁠ ⁠Whether the West can course correct or whether collapse is now inevitable - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - Currency Collapse Starts00:01:17 - Rome vs Britain00:05:00 - How Debasement Spreads00:09:52 - The Soft Default00:18:02 - The Grift Economy00:22:18 - The Hollowing Out00:30:19 - How Rome Worked00:35:00 - Why Collapse Happens00:39:08 - Welfare And Power00:46:28 - War Footing Debate00:52:33 - Are We In Decline?00:57:54 - Constantine Solution01:05:22 - AI And Power Shift - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE› Website – http://petermccormack.com› Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact› Email – me@petermccormack.com› Instagram – /mccormack555› X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH FREDDIE NEW› Twitter – https://x.com/freddienew› Website – https://bitcoinpolicy.uk/ SPONSORS› IREN - https://www.iren.com› LEDN - https://www.ledn.io/peter› Monetary Metals - https://www.Monetary-Metals.com/McCormack - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE› Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K› Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu› Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM› YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM› Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR› https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/› https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK› https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

Emmet Connor, author of Red Pandemic, joins me to discuss his claim that Marxist ideas are expanding globally through culture, institutions and politics. We start with the core question: is there actually a coherent Marxist movement in the modern West or is the term being used too loosely to describe broader social change? We also explore what Marxism is today, how it may have evolved beyond its original economic focus and whether its historical outcomes are a failure of implementation or something inherent to the ideology itself. - ⁠- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - Marxism Or Leftism00:05:00 - Defining The Revolution00:10:55 - Useful Idiots Problem00:18:52 - Fabian Influence Debate00:30:00 - Do Marxists Know?00:37:52 - How Ideas Spread00:48:34 - Freedom And Liberty01:02:23 - The Right’s Branding01:16:30 - Where The Right Wins01:30:31 - Power And Democracy01:46:56 - What People Actually Want02:10:23 - Final Reflections - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE› Website – http://petermccormack.com› Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact› Email – me@petermccormack.com› Instagram – /mccormack555› X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH EMMET CONNOR› Twitter – https://x.com/ResolvingR› Book – https://omnia-veritas.com/product/red-pandemic/› YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AI2cy4Dp_8M SPONSORS› LEDN - https://www.ledn.io/peter› Monetary Metals - https://www.Monetary-Metals.com/McCormack - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE› Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu› Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM› YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM› Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR› https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/› https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK› https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

Liz Truss, former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, joins me to discuss what really happened during her time in office and why she believes the UK is in long-term economic and political decline. We talk about the limits of political power, the role of institutions like the Bank of England, and why she argues that meaningful change is harder than voters realise. Liz also reflects on why she was removed from office and whether Britain can reverse its current trajectory. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - Who Has Power00:02:09 - 25 Years Stagnation00:07:13 - “I Was Vindicated”00:12:04 - Politicians vs Blob00:16:52 - Anti-Establishment Movement00:22:29 - Bank of England Power00:30:46 - Leadership vs Movement00:37:20 - How The System Controls00:46:44 - Who Runs Government00:54:28 - Reversing The System01:00:01 - Consequences of Decline01:04:59 - Debt Crisis Risk - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE› Website – http://petermccormack.com› Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact› Email – me@petermccormack.com› Instagram – /mccormack555› X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH LIZ TRUSS› Website – https://www.cpac.org/int/greatbritain/home› Twitter – https://x.com/trussliz SPONSORS› IREN - https://iren.com› LEDN - https://www.ledn.io/peter› Monetary Metals - https://www.Monetary-Metals.com/McCormack - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE› Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K› Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu› Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM› YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM› Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR› https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/› https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK› https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

Are we heading for a mathematical market crash or has the system just been perfectly designed to extract your wealth? In this episode, I sit down with macro-strategist Mike Green to discuss the hidden plumbing of the global economy. Mike explains why the stock market is no longer tied to reality, how the rise of passive index funds has created a dangerous "flow inelastic trap" and why the modern retirement system is forcing a massive generational wealth crisis. Mike also explains the brutal economic realities of the Middle East conflict, how monopolies have secretly captured free-market capitalism and reveals a new data point: how corporations are actively using AI to eliminate jobs for the younger generation. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 - System Feels Broken 00:01:58 - War Hits Your Wallet 00:06:22 - Power And Control 00:10:45 - Retirement Was Rewired 00:15:55 - The Market Tipping Point 00:20:08 - Why Nothing Works 00:24:00 - Capitalism Got Captured 00:33:28 - The Real Problem 00:35:47 - AI Changes Everything 00:44:00 - The Fed Is Trapped 00:51:12 - The Credit Unwind 00:59:47 - What Happens Next - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com › Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email – me@petermccormack.com › Instagram – /mccormack555 › X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH MIKE GREEN › Website – https://www.simplify.us › Twitter – https://x.com/profplum99 › Substack – https://substack.com/@michaelwgreen SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Monetary Metals - https://www.Monetary-Metals.com/McCormack - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM › Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR › https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/ › https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK › https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

Why does everything feel more expensive even when the economy is supposedly "growing"? The truth is, the financial system isn't broken - it's functioning exactly as it was designed to In this episode, macroeconomist and author Lyn Alden joins the show to discuss the mechanical reality of the fiat ledger and the global debt trap. We explore how the system forces a silent extraction of wealth from the working class to subsidise sovereign debt, why we are re-entering a 1940s-style era of financial repression, and how corporations (like Coca-Cola) use debt to actively "short" the currency you are forced to save in. We also discuss the hidden math behind the cost-of-living crisis, why the system must "grow or die," and how to protect your wealth. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 – Slow Financial Collapse 00:02:00 – How Money Actually Works 00:07:30 – End of Gold System 00:12:30 – Why Life Feels Harder 00:18:20 – The Debt Trap 00:26:00 – Who Really Wins 00:34:00 – Why System Persists 00:41:00 – Crisis & Bailouts 00:48:30 – System "Resembles Theft" 00:59:20 – Default Explained 01:10:30 – Bitcoin & Alternatives - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com › Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email – me@petermccormack.com › Instagram – /mccormack555 › X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH LYN ALDEN › Website – https://www.lynalden.com/ › Twitter – https://x.com/LynAldenContact SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Saily - https://saily.com/peter › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ › Monetary Metals - https://www.Monetary-Metals.com/McCormack - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM › Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR › https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/ › https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK › https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

Former Apple employee, Mark Suman explains why Apple refused to allow ChatGPT internally and what that reveals about how AI systems are learning how we think. Most people are now using AI every day - for work, personal decisions, even private conversations. But as Mark explains, the more we share, the more these systems begin to model our behaviour, often understanding our thinking patterns better than we do ourselves. This raises a deeper question: what happens when intelligence is centralised, and systems can influence not just what we do, but how we think? We discuss privacy, data, government power, and the trade-offs between convenience and control and why the biggest risks of AI are not in the future, but already happening now. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Introduction 01:17 What is "thought capture"? 02:57 How AI starts profiling users 06:40 Are we heading to superintelligence? 08:51 Mapping human thinking at scale 11:38 How algorithms influence behaviour 16:53 Why Apple blocked ChatGPT internally 20:00 The risks of sharing data with AI 25:55 Advice for everyday users 30:00 The real risks of AI systems 32:13 AI and mass influence 35:46 How AI could steer opinions 42:01 AI, Bitcoin & sovereignty 47:25 Where we are as a civilisation 50:00 Trust in institutions collapsing 55:47 Is society breaking? 1:12:45 AI and job displacement 1:15:02 Should AI be regulated? 1:23:55 AI exhaustion 1:29:13 The future of human work - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com › Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email – me@petermccormack.com › Instagram – /mccormack555 › X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH MARK SUMAN › Website – https://trymaple.ai/ › Twitter – https://x.com/marksuman SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Saily - https://saily.com/peter › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM › Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR › https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/ › https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK › https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

Are we witnessing the managed decay of Western democracy, or a civilisational shift that we can still reverse? I sit down with academic and author Matt Goodwin and discuss the survival of the West. Matt warns that unprecedented demographic transformation and a radicalised, disconnected elite are fundamentally dismantling our national identity. We also discuss institutional rot, the effectiveness of Reform UK, the danger of letting old political insiders hijack the populist uprising, and whether taking a "sledgehammer to the state" is the only way out. In this episode: The Institutional Rot: Why the legacy political parties have sold the country down the river and deserve to collapse. The Demographic Shock: The sheer speed and scale of cultural transformation that the public is not prepared for. The Economic Ultimatum: Why state expansion and wealth extraction are the ultimate threats to our survival. The Purity Spiral: Does putting political "amateurs" in power save the system, or plunge it into the abyss? The Disillusioned Voter: Why millions have completely opted out of the democratic process.

Are we witnessing the organic collapse of the Western world, or is the current global chaos a highly engineered script? Simon Dixon returns to map out the hidden architecture of global power. He breaks down how the Financial, Military, and Technical Industrial Complexes are actively managing a transition to a multipolar world. From the "transitional theater" of the Middle East to the weaponization of global debt, Simon explains how elites are using chaos to asset-strip the West and consolidate their wealth in a K-shaped economy. We also discuss the pivot to the real pandemic: the profound psychological trauma and existential dread infecting modern society. We discuss our own mid-life reckonings, the horrifying reality of an AI-driven digital control grid, and the ultimate rebellion against the system. In this episode, we cover: The Theater of War: Why current geopolitical conflicts are a scripted reallocation of resources, not unpredictable chaos. The Power Triad: How the FIC, MIC, and TIC control governments, global capital flows, and the media narrative. The Epstein Leverage: Why the true rulers of the world aren't in the files, but control who gets exposed by them. The 10-Year Escape Plan: Why self-custody of hard assets (like Bitcoin and gold) and fully withdrawing from fiat equities is your only defense. The Spiritual Rebellion: Navigating the moral decay of fiat society, the necessity of analog community, and Simon's personal journey to theology and the Quran. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Introduction 02:45 - Consolidation of Power & The Multipolar World 06:28 - Trump, the TIC, FIC, and MIC Explained 15:46 - Venezuela, Gold Deals, and the Illusion of Regime Change 23:06 - The 150 People Run the World? 26:37 - The Epstein Files & Global Money Laundering Networks 34:39 - Why the Middle East is "Transitional Theater" 49:54 - Breaking the Petrodollar & The True Cost of War 56:06 - Summarizing the Engineered Global Masterplan 01:11:53 - The Psychological Pandemic 01:15:37 - The 10-Year Escape Plan 01:22:50 - Exit the System 01:24:30 - The Spiritual Awakening 01:26:20 - The Quran & Divine Guidance 01:39:24 - The Gross Happiness Index 01:55:55 - Rural Living & Surviving the Collapse - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com › Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email – me@petermccormack.com › Instagram – /mccormack555 › X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH SIMON DIXON › Website – https://www.simondixon.com/ › Twitter – https://x.com/SimonDixonTwitt SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ › Incogni - https://incogni.com/ › Monetary Metals - https://www.Monetary-Metals.com/McCormack - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM › Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR › https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/ › https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK › https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

The political system appears broken but is functioning exactly as it was designed to - ensuring the ruling class never loses power. Author and academic Neema Parvini joins the podcast to discuss the mechanics of elite control. We discuss the "Iron Law of Oligarchy" - the reality that all political parties, no matter how radical they start, eventually conform to the establishment . Neema also explains the structural advantages the elites use to maintain their monopoly on power. We explore why "anti-establishment" figures like Donald Trump and the leaders of Reform UK have ultimately sold out their base, proving that outsiders don't change the system; the system changes the outsiders .

The "Net Zero" transition is built on a mathematical impossibility. The UK power grid currently relies on just over one hour of battery backup, and the political consensus is pushing us closer to civilisational collapse. Nuclear chemist and author Tim Gregory explains why the current agenda to replace fossil fuels entirely with wind and solar is a dangerous illusion. He breaks down the harsh realities of our energy infrastructure: why rolling blackouts are a genuine threat , how the government is paralyzed by absurd regulations , and why the ultimate "green" scam is chopping down North American forests to burn as "renewable" biomass. We also explore the long arc of human history, from the dawn of fire to the Kardashev scale. Beyond the energy crisis, we discuss the psychological damage of the smartphone era , the rapid acceleration of AI , and why our survival ultimately depends on harnessing the power of the atom. *In this episode, we cover:* •⁠ ⁠The 1-Hour Warning: Why grid-scale batteries cannot prevent rolling blackouts when the wind stops blowing. •⁠ ⁠⁠The Biomass Fraud: How burning wood chips became the UK's biggest single source of CO2 emissions. •⁠ ⁠⁠The £700 Million Fish: The insanity of regulatory red tape and why the government built a "fish disco" instead of a power plant. •⁠ ⁠⁠The Truth About Chernobyl: Why the air pollution from fossil fuels kills more people every 30 minutes than the entire Chernobyl disaster. •⁠ ⁠⁠The Kardashev Scale: Why human progress and survival depend on expanding into space and harnessing the energy of our local star. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 – Net Zero Reality 00:02:16 – Can Renewables Replace Fossil Fuels? 00:05:00 – The Blackout Risk 00:10:00 – Nuclear vs Environmentalism 00:14:36 – The Truth About Chernobyl 00:24:16 – Why Batteries Don't Work 00:27:26 – Energy Density Explained 00:52:49 – Why Infrastructure Fails 01:04:24 – The Nuclear Plan 01:10:56 – AI's Energy Demand 01:30:00 – Humanity's Future In Space - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com › Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email – me@petermccormack.com › Instagram – /mccormack555 › X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH TIMOTHY GREGORY › LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-tim-gregory/ › Website – http://tim-gregory.co.uk/ SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM › Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR › https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/ › https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK › https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

The engineers building Artificial Intelligence do not actually know how it works. They are not programming it; they are "growing" it and they have no idea what it will do next. Connor Leahy is an AI researcher and former builder of Large Language Models. In this interview we discuss Silicon Valley, where he reveals the reality inside the top tech labs: the "alignment problem" being unsolved, the race for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) accelerating and the people in charge are flying completely blind. We discuss the chaotic trajectory of superintelligence, the corruption of the tech elite, the Department of Defense's recent moves and the disturbing new phenomenon of "AI Psychosis" where users are being manipulated by the systems they use. In this episode, we cover: The "Black Box" Problem: Why the creators of AI cannot predict what it will do. Silicon Valley Corruption: Why "sociopaths have domesticated nerds" to build dangerous tech. The Wargames: Why AI consistently chooses nuclear escalation in simulations. "AI Psychosis" & Spiral Cults: The terrifying psychological toll AI is taking on its smartest users. The Loss of Control: What happens to humanity when we build a system we can no longer steer. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 – AI Engineer Origins 00:07:47 – When GPT Changed Everything 00:12:47 – Inside Neural Networks 00:19:03 – How AI Actually Learns 00:27:58 – Growing Intelligence 00:31:19 – The Alignment Problem 00:36:41 – AI and Nuclear War 00:47:03 – Should AI Be Paused? 00:52:39 – AI Exhaustion 01:00:53 – Superintelligence Explained 01:24:02 – Who Controls AI? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com › Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email – me@petermccormack.com › Instagram – /mccormack555 › X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH CONNOR LEAHY › X/Twitter – https://x.com/NPCollapse › Website – https://www.ettf.land/ SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM › Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR › https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/ › https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK › https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

The war in the Middle East is usually discussed as a military conflict. In this interview, Firas Modad argues the real consequences are far wider. We discuss how escalation could spread through energy markets, shipping lanes and commodity prices - and why the economic effects of war may hit far beyond the battlefield. Firas also explains how political incentives, donor networks and foreign policy alignments shape decisions in Washington, and why the incentives behind modern wars often look very different from the public narrative. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 – Why Iran Matters 00:07:25 – Why The West 00:12:17 – Energy Shock Risk 00:20:04 – Iran Endgame Scenarios 00:32:28 – Fog Of War 00:40:26 – Lebanon Expands 00:54:21 – Energy Decides It 01:02:30 – Christian Immigration View 01:08:27 – Debt And Decay 01:13:39 – Bible And Collapse 01:22:09 – Just War Test - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com › Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email – me@petermccormack.com › Instagram – /mccormack555 › X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH FIRAS MODAD › X/Twitter – https://x.com/firasmodad › Website – https://www.modadgeopolitics.com/ SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM › Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR › https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/ › https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK › https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

Governments aren't going to pay this debt down in real terms. More likely, they pay it back in weaker money. Luke Gromen argues we're already deep into a sovereign debt cycle - and that AI could speed up the moment it really starts to crack.

In this episode, Jeff Booth explains why the natural state of a free market is deflationary and why a debt-based monetary system can't allow it. We discuss AI as an acceleration event: exponential productivity should make life cheaper, but the system has to create scarcity to keep debt serviceable. We cover how inflation functions as hidden extraction, why regulation favours monopolies, why politics becomes a fight over who controls broken money and why AI will intensify centralisation, surveillance, and social conflict unless the monetary layer changes. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 – Elon's "No Money" 00:02:21 – Deflation is Natural 00:05:50 – Paper-fold Acceleration 00:08:05 – Debt vs Abundance 00:10:17 – Inflation = Extraction 00:15:34 – Politics Polarises 00:21:28 – One Question Only 00:28:01 – Bukele's Example 00:33:33 – Bitcoin as Protocol 00:41:02 – AI + Money Clash - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com › Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email – me@petermccormack.com › Instagram – /mccormack555 › X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH JEFF BOOTH › X/Twitter – https://x.com/JeffBooth › Website – https://jeffreybooth.com/ SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ › Incogni - https://incogni.com/peter - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM › Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR › https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/ › https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK › https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

In this PMQs episode, we discuss the claim that most white-collar work could be automated within 12-18 months, and what that actually means. We talk through jobs, incentives, education, and AI safety - why companies can't slow down even if they want to, why schools may be preparing kids for a world that's disappearing, and why safety teams are warning about systems they're still accelerating. If AI can do the productive work, what happens to status, money, and meaning? And if models are already showing deceptive behaviour in testing, who decides what "broadly safe" really means?

What happens if we build something smarter than ourselves - and can't turn it off? In this interview, I chat with Andrea Miotti about the global race toward superintelligent AI: systems designed to outperform humans across every task, operate autonomously, and integrate directly into the economy. We discuss how today's AI tools quietly cross from assistance into replacement, why "kill switches" don't work, and how a handful of companies are pushing toward a point of no return. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 - AI Extinction is Now? 00:01:22 - Alien Analogy 00:02:24 - Building Superintelligence 00:06:43 - Tools Becoming Agents 00:15:22 - Autonomous Systems Act 00:23:31 - Who Can Build This 00:29:07 - Why Containment Fails 00:38:51 - An Inhuman Economy 00:55:59 - No Kill Switch 01:07:05 - How Many Companies 01:27:35 - Do Humans Survive? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com › Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email – me@petermccormack.com › Instagram – /mccormack555 › X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH ANDREA MIOTTI › X/Twitter – https://x.com/andreamiotti › X/Twitter – https://x.com/ControlAI › Website – https://campaign.controlai.com/ SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ › Incogni - https://incogni.com/peter - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM › Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR › https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/ › https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK › https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

Is Britain in the midst of a Soviet style collapse? In this episode, I speak to journalist Isabella Kaminski about why today's Britain is starting to resemble the final years of the Soviet system. She describes what collapse feels like before it's obvious: fake economics, hollowed-out institutions, collapsing trust, and a population slowly realising that the systems meant to protect them no longer function. We also discuss how inflation, debt, housing policy, bureaucratic expansion, and political incentives work, and why many voters now feel elections don't change direction, only the speed at which things deteriorate. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 – Collapse Parallels 00:05:09 – Poland's Divergence 00:13:08 – Parallel Realities 00:20:07 – Middle Class Liquidation 00:25:00 – Fake Economies 00:32:11 – Safetyism Trap 00:39:14 – Power Above Politics 00:53:03 – Inflation Life Squeeze 01:12:34 – Industrial Realignment 01:32:51 – Signs of Collapse - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com › Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email – me@petermccormack.com › Instagram – /mccormack555 › X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH IZABELLA KAMINSKA › X/Twitter – https://x.com/izakaminska SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ › Gemini - https://gemini.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM › Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR › https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/ › https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK › https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

Is the British State actively at war with the next generation? In this episode I talk to Montgomery Toms, a 20-year-old rising conservative voice, who argues that the social contract with the youth has been broken. Monty explains the "institutional rot" within our education system, detailing how he was "strong-armed" out of university for refusing to wear a mandatory pronoun badge on his first day.

Is the British Government incompetent, or is it a criminal enterprise? I am joined by sitting MP Rupert Lowe as he asks the ultimate question: "Is the state in the hands of organized crime?" From the billions missing in procurement contracts to the "sticky fingers" of the political class, Rupert argues that the British state has become the active enemy of its own people, and that the UK is sleepwalking into an Enron-style bankruptcy. We also discuss the "institutional rot" destroying the nation, including the cover-up of the grooming gangs, the "Weimar" economics of money printing, and the deliberate destruction of the middle class. Rupert opens up about his split from Reform UK, the betrayal of the electorate by the "Uniparty," and why we only have until 2029 to save the country from total collapse. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 – State Vs Electorate 00:01:11 – Incompetence Or Intent 00:03:45 – Brexit Overridden 00:08:19 – Unit Party Exposed 00:12:06 – Chaos Before Change 00:20:06 – Contracts And Corruption 00:31:06 – Money Printing Decay 00:43:43 – Middle Class Squeeze 01:02:19 – Reform Has Failed 01:10:35 – What Happens Next - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com › Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email – me@petermccormack.com › Instagram – /mccormack555 › X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH RUPERT LOWE › X/Twitter – https://x.com/RupertLowe10 SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ › Gemini - https://gemini.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM › Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR › https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/ › https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK › https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

From counter-terrorism failures to media self-censorship, we examine how fear of controversy has replaced decision-making and why suppressing uncomfortable conversations doesn't reduce risk, but pushes it into darker, more dangerous directions.

In this episode, I'm joined by Ben Habib for a conversation about Reform, Nigel Farage and where British politics is heading. Ben argues that Reform is far more fragile than most people realise. That it lacks a clear political philosophy, is driven by personality rather than principle, and could fail badly if it ever reaches power. His fear isn't just that Reform collapses, it's that its failure would discredit the wider pro-British cause for a generation. We discuss Farage's leadership, ambition, and record, the danger of movements built around individuals rather than ideas, and why simply breaking the two-party system isn't enough if what replaces it isn't serious, coherent, and capable of governing. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 – Reform's Fragility 00:01:02 – No Credible Leaders 00:02:18 – Need New Force 00:05:58 – Reform Becomes Establishment 00:10:00 – Voters Sense Decay 00:11:28 – Farage as Campaigner 00:15:13 – Why Parliament Fails 00:20:00 – Selecting Weak Leaders 00:24:06 – Culture Labeled Extremism 00:32:03 – Economy Can't Recover 00:39:32 – Why Reform Would Fail - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com › Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email – me@petermccormack.com › Instagram – /mccormack555 › X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH BEN HABIB › Website – https://linktr.ee/advanceuk › Twitter – https://x.com/benhabib6 SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ › Gemini - https://gemini.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM › Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR › https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/ › https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK › https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

Politics feels chaotic for a reason. In this PMQs episode, we discuss what looks like surface-level madness - government U-turns, free speech crackdowns, global unrest and endless culture wars, to understand the deeper structural problem: a debt-based system that no longer works. This isn't about left vs right, or one bad leader. It's about incentives, power, and a financial system that concentrates wealth, hollows out society, and forces every government into the same trap: manage decline & tighten control. From Keir Starmer and Ofcom to central banks, QE, and why elections no longer change outcomes, we discuss how we got here and why everything feels like it's coming apart at once.

Western politics appears chaotic - broken states, endless debt and permanent crisis. Simon Dixon argues it isn't chaos at all, it's structure. In this conversation, Simon lays out how money creation, debt, asset management, and access to capital now matter more than elections, ideology, or national borders. Governments, he argues, have become balance sheets and citizens have become collateral. We talk about how the debt-based system works, why rolling over debt keeps everything alive, how asset managers shape outcomes and why wars, bailouts, inflation, and social breakdown all follow the same incentives. It's about power, money, and who actually makes decisions, and what that means for people trying to live normal lives inside a system that no longer works for them. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 – Introduction 00:02:41 – Power Dynamics vs Democracy 00:06:59 – IMF Bailouts and Rolling Debt 00:10:28 – the British Empire Financial Model 00:16:31 – Blackrock, Capital Allocation & Board Control 00:18:43 – Why Ceos Aren't Really in Charge 00:25:00 – Why Revolutions Fail 00:27:56 – Russia, Sovereignty & Oil 00:30:00 – Ukraine, Nato, and Arms Incentives 00:34:10 – Profit, War, and Moral Cost 00:38:34 – Compromise, Power & Politics 00:41:53 – Immigration and Instability 00:45:29 – Surveillance, Data & Control 00:47:07 – Venezuela, Oil & Geopolitics 00:55:25 – When Debt Actually Breaks 01:03:08 – Why Stock Markets Rise as Countries Fail 01:06:30 – the Collapse of Living Standards 01:12:25 – Multipolar World Order 01:16:18 – Bitcoin as Boycott 01:24:00 – Who Survives the System 01:28:51 – Leaving the West vs Staying 01:47:32 – Property, Debt & Freedom 01:49:20 – Advice for People Who Can't Escape 01:57:19 – What Actually Breaks the System 02:02:15 – Final Reflections: Playing the Game Without Losing Yourself - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com › Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email – me@petermccormack.com › Instagram – /mccormack555 › X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH SIMON DIXON › Website – https://www.simondixon.com/ › Twitter – https://x.com/SimonDixonTwitt SPONSORS › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ › Gemini - https://gemini.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM › Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR › https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/ › https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK › https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

Venezuela didn't fall apart by accident. It's the result of years of socialism, corruption and a regime that couldn't be removed by elections or international pressure. In this PMQs episode, Peter and Conor talk through what happened with Maduro, why Venezuelans themselves welcomed his removal, and why the usual arguments about regime change and international law don't hold up in the real world. They also look at the role of oil, US power, proxy conflicts, and why strong states operate by different rules. The episode ends on the hardest question of all: after removing a dictator, what actually comes next?

Steve Baker is a former Conservative MP who spent years inside the machinery of British politics. In this interview, he explains why Britain feels broken. We talk about falling living standards, a political system that keeps failing without consequence and why so many voters feel completely powerless to change anything. We also explore how a system can continue to function while delivering worse outcomes year after year. We also discuss the problem of power without limits, money without restraint and what happens to democracy when nothing fundamental can be challenged and no one is ever held to account. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 – Introduction 01:35 – Why Britain "Isn't Working" 03:17 – How the System Drifted Off the Rails 09:23 – The Real Incentive in Politics 11:10 – "You Get the Government You Deserve" 14:16 – Why Staying Home Changes Nothing 17:37 – Why MPs Fear Accountability 21:21 – The Collapse in Living Standards 23:06 – The Money Problem 26:44 – Bitcoin, Gold & Escaping the System 31:04 – Why Extremism Is Rising 34:51 – Liberty vs Control 40:22 – Britain Is Over-Governed 43:47 – There Is No Painless Way Out 47:51 – Why Politicians Kick the Can 50:08 – How Division Is Manufactured 57:00 – Why Politics Attracts the Wrong People 59:38 – Why Opting Out Fails 1:10:10 – Can the System Be Reset? 1:19:09 – Hope vs Reality 1:22:39 – Final Warnings - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com › Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email – me@petermccormack.com › Instagram – /mccormack555 › X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH STEVE BAKER › Website – https://www.stevebaker.info/ › Twitter – @SteveBakerFRSA SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ › Gemini - https://gemini.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM › Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR › https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/ › https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK › https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

Inflation is the thing breaking everything. Not just prices - but trust, politics, institutions and people's belief that the system even works for them anymore. There's no sudden collapse coming and no dramatic moment where it all falls apart. It is slower than that and we're living through it right now. In this episode of PMQs, I talk through how inflation hollowed out living standards, why people are withdrawing from politics altogether, and why what looks like incompetence is often something closer to design. This isn't left vs right. It's extraction vs creation. And once you see it clearly, you can't unsee it.
