| #163 - Scott Horton - How Debt, Inflation and War Are All Connected | 07 avr. 2026 | 01:15:06 | |
Scott Horton is the director of Antiwar.com and one of the most outspoken critics of US foreign policy. In this episode, Scott explains how war connects directly to the things people feel every day - rising prices, falling purchasing power, growing debt and a system that never seems to improve no matter who is in charge. We also discuss how governments fund wars, why debt keeps expanding, how inflation quietly shifts the cost onto ordinary people and the incentives that keep the cycle going. Lastly, Scott explains the role of media, the relationship between politics and defence spending, and why these conflicts continue even when public support is weak. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE CONNECT WITH SCOTT HORTON SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | |||
| #162 - Mike Green - The Economy is Collapsing, Time to Prepare | 02 avr. 2026 | 01:07:56 | |
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: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE CONNECT WITH MIKE GREEN SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | |||
| #161 - Lyn Alden - The Inevitable Collapse of The Financial System | 31 mars 2026 | 01:25:55 | |
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: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE CONNECT WITH LYN ALDEN SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | |||
| #160 - Mark Suman - AI Is Quietly Changing How You Think | 25 mars 2026 | 01:39:22 | |
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 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE CONNECT WITH MARK SUMAN SPONSORS LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | |||
| #159 - Matt Goodwin - It Might Already Be Too Late For Britain | 23 mars 2026 | 01:59:27 | |
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.

| #158 - Simon Dixon - Why the World Feels Chaotic (And Who Profits) | 19 mars 2026 | 02:00:23 | |
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:

| #157 - Neema Parvini - Who Runs the World: The Mechanics of Elite Power | 17 mars 2026 | 01:34:28 | |
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 . From the uniparty's obsession with foreign wars to the generational theft of the national debt. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE CONNECT WITH NEEMA PARVINI SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | |||
| #156 - Tim Gregory - Becoming a Type 1 Civilisation: From Nuclear Power to Harnessing the Sun | 12 mars 2026 | 02:02:37 | |
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. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE CONNECT WITH TIMOTHY GREGORY SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | |||
| #155 - Connor Leahy - AI is MUTATING: We Don't Know What It is Doing | 10 mars 2026 | 01:34:24 | |
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.

| #154 - Firas Modad - Who Actually Runs The American War Machine? | 06 mars 2026 | 01:35:42 | |
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: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE CONNECT WITH FIRAS MODAD SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | |||
| #153 - Luke Gromen - The AI-Debt Collision Breaking the Financial System | 04 mars 2026 | 01:22:13 | |
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 interview we discuss how the system works: leverage, entitlements, interest costs, bond markets - and what happens when deflation hits an economy that depends on inflation to stay upright. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE CONNECT WITH LUKE GROMEN SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | |||
| #152 - Balaji Srinivasan - The Mathematics of Collapse: Why The West Is Going To Zero | 02 mars 2026 | 02:31:29 | |
Western Civilisation is collapsing, and the exits are being bricked up. In this episode, Balaji Srinivasan (Author, The Network State) delivers a clear warning: the US and UK are approaching a sovereign debt default, and the "Berlin Wall" of capital controls is coming to trap your wealth inside. We discuss why "staying is surrendering," the rise of the "Grey Tribe" (Tech) against the State, and his 3-step survival guide for the middle class: Liquidate, Emigrate, Accelerate. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE CONNECT WITH BALAJI SRINIVASAN SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | |||
| #151 - Laila Cunningham - The Post-British City: How Globalisation Hollowed Out London | 25 févr. 2026 | 01:26:10 | |
In this episode, Laila Cunningham discusses London's demographic change, mass immigration, housing failure and whether the capital is becoming a stress test for Britain. We discuss debt, inflation, generational decline, state expansion, and why productivity gains from technology aren't improving living standards. We also explore AI, education reform, automation, housing regulation and whether the UK is prepared for technological acceleration. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE CONNECT WITH LAILA CUNNINGHAM SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | |||
| #150 - Curtis Yarvin - Can Democracy Survive AI and Debt? | 23 févr. 2026 | 02:17:48 | |
In this episode, Curtis Yarvin argues that modern democracies may lack clear sovereignty and that technological acceleration and sovereign debt are exposing that weakness. We discuss AI as a force multiplier, bureaucratic continuity, legitimacy, regime structure and the limits of procedural governance. We also explore fiscal exhaustion, debt sustainability, and whether a system that cannot make decisive changes can survive compounding crises. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE CONNECT WITH CURTIS YARVIN SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | |||
| #149 - Kathryn Porter - Energy is Civilisation: Why Power Matters | 19 févr. 2026 | 01:11:56 | |
In this episode, Kathryn Porter explains why energy is civilisation and how he UK grid may be heading toward rationing and rolling blackouts within the next decade. We discuss aging gas power stations, unrealistic utilisation assumptions, weak grid conditions, North Sea decline and why no single institution is accountable for security of supply. We also cover what a blackout would actually look like, why nuclear build timelines matter, and how regulation and governance failures are compounding energy risk. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE CONNECT WITH KATHRYN PORTER SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | |||
| #148 - Jeff Booth - Debt v AI: The Trillion Dollar Collision | 17 févr. 2026 | 00:52:49 | |
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: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE CONNECT WITH JEFF BOOTH SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | |||
| PMQs #010 - AI Is Coming For Everything | 13 févr. 2026 | 00:50:03 | |
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?

| #147 - Andrea Miotti - The War Against AI Has Begun | 10 févr. 2026 | 01:41:12 | |
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: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE CONNECT WITH ANDREA MIOTTI SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | |||
| #146 - Izabella Kaminska - The Soviet Collapse of Britain | 06 févr. 2026 | 01:42:44 | |
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: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE CONNECT WITH IZABELLA KAMINSKA SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | |||

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. We discuss deep on the "psychological warfare" of lockdowns , the indoctrination of "victim culture" in schools , and the reality of two-tier policing that targets political dissidents. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE CONNECT WITH MONTGOMERY TOMS SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | |||

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: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE CONNECT WITH RUPERT LOWE SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | |||
| #143 – Emmanuel Maggiori – The Economics of State Failure | 05 févr. 2026 | 03:03:21 | |
Emmanuel Maggiori joins me to explain how inflation, incentives, and broken monetary rules quietly reshape behaviour inside an economy. From Argentina's black markets and capital controls to money printing, MMT, saving vs spending, and institutional credibility, we explore why inflation destroys trust long before it destroys prices — and why countries don't collapse overnight, but drift into dysfunction as rational people adapt. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE CONNECT WITH EMMANUEL MAGGIORI SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | |||

| #141 – Khaled Hassan – The Silent Coup: How The Muslim Brotherhood Captured The UK | 05 févr. 2026 | 01:46:06 | |
Peter sits down with Khaled Hassan to discuss immigration, extremism, and why Britain's institutions have become incapable of enforcing boundaries or even discuss them honestly. 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. This is a conversation about red lines, state authority, and what happens when a country refuses to define either. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE CONNECT WITH KHALED HASSAN SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | |||
| #140 – Ben Habib – The British Right Has a Leadership Problem | 05 févr. 2026 | 01:06:07 | |
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: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE CONNECT WITH BEN HABIB SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | |||
| PMQs #009 – Jenrick's Defection Changes Nothing | 19 janv. 2026 | 00:55:29 | |
In this PMQs episode, we discuss Robert Jenrick's defection to Reform and how it signals a political system that can only manage decline, not reverse it. We discuss debt, inflation, incentives, and accountability - why every party borrows, why promises don't bind, and why voters are increasingly trapped choosing between different speeds of the same outcome.

| PMQs #008 – Why the Financial World Order is Shifting | 14 janv. 2026 | 01:04:43 | |
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.

| #139 - Simon Dixon - How the Financial-Industrial Complex Runs the World | 08 janv. 2026 | 02:04:50 | |
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: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE CONNECT WITH SIMON DIXON SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | |||
| PMQs #007 - Why Trump Wants Venezuela | 06 janv. 2026 | 00:58:31 | |
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?

| #138 – Steve Baker – The Structural Failure of Government | 05 janv. 2026 | 01:24:35 | |
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: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE CONNECT WITH STEVE BAKER SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | |||
| PMQs #006 - The Quiet Leviathan — Inflation Is Breaking Everything | 31 déc. 2025 | 00:53:10 | |
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. And once you see it clearly, you can't unsee it.

In this episode, I explain why I no longer believe voting can fix what's broken and why the real problem isn't left vs right, race vs race, or party vs party but unconstrained government power. This is a continuation of ideas sparked by recent debates around Nick Fuentes, Carl Benjamin, identity politics and the collapse of legitimacy in modern democracies. I'm not calling for violence.

Young men aren't radicalising because of ideology, they're reacting to a world that no longer works for them.

I've reached an inflection point. I no longer believe Britain's political system can fix itself. This isn't about left vs right, Labour vs Conservative, or the next election. It's about unconstrained power, broken incentives and a system that rewards failure while hollowing out the next generation. In this PMQs episode, I explain why I'm withdrawing my consent from the British state and why so many young people have already done the same. It's a vote of no confidence.

A single benchmark shaped American markets and policy for decades and economist Mike Green believes it distorted risk, inflated asset prices, weakened the middle class and misled policymakers about the true state of the economy.

Modern economics is built on competing theories that often describe the world in very different ways. In this conversation, economist Steve Keen sets out his explanation for how money works, why he believes mainstream economic models fail, and why debt, banking and housing play a far greater role in economic crises than most policymakers acknowledge. Keen's perspective challenges the assumptions of neoclassical, Keynesian and Austrian economists alike. In this episode we discuss: Economics didn't fail by accident — it failed because ideology replaced reality. Steve Keen is one of the world's leading heterodox economists, known for his critiques of mainstream theory and his work on private debt, banking, financial instability and the 2008 crisis, which he warned about years in advance. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE CONNECT WITH STEVE KEEN SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | |||

Inflation isn't an economic metric — it's a political tactic. When governments lie about inflation, they're not miscalculating; they're stealing from you. Economist Karl-Friedrich Israel explains how inflation quietly enriches asset holders, punishes workers and pushes Europe into a slow, silent decline. If your living standards are falling while politicians insist everything is fine, this conversation will make sense of it. If you still believe governments can print prosperity without consequences, you won't enjoy what follows. In this episode we discuss: Britain is being lied to — and people are finally waking up.

If you earn, save, build or invest, Labour just came back for round two: punishing work, killing incentives and pushing the UK deeper into decline.
