The Peter McCormack Show – Details, episodes & analysis

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.

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.

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.

In this episode of The Peter McCormack Show, I'm joined by Adam Coleman—author, campaigner, and rising political voice—for a deep dive into the state of Britain.

We discuss the impact of uncontrolled immigration, the collapse of traditional values, youth disillusionment, political cowardice, and the urgent need for localism and cultural renewal. Coleman pulls no punches on what's gone wrong and why it's time for a radical reset.
