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 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
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: 00:00:00 – The Attack 00:03:22 – Lockdowns and "Radicalization"  00:05:00 – Building a Youth Platform  00:06:55 – Debt Steals the Future  00:14:35 – Online Bans and Digital ID  00:25:28 – Inflation and the Wealth Gap  00:42:31 – The State Incentives Problem  00:44:36 – The Campus Incident  00:54:10 – "You Caused This" Policing Logic  01:10:00 – University Rules and Coercion  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 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 MONTGOMERY TOMS › X/Twitter – https://x.com/MontgomeryToms › Website – https://www.montgomerytoms.com/ › Go Fund Me – https://gofund.me/c348faad4 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 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
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 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
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: 00:00 – Introduction 02:34 – Argentina As Warning 05:00 – Anti-Business Drift 23:49 – Black Markets Emerge 44:40 – Credibility Ends Inflation 57:36 – Corruption Normalised 1:17:14 – MMT Political Reality 1:48:21 – Why Saving Dies 2:00:40 – Discipline Over Time 2:54:44 – Pain Enables Reform - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 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 EMMANUEL MAGGIORI › Website – https://emaggiori.com/ › LinkedIn – https://uk.linkedin.com/in/emaggiori 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 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Andrew Gold joins me to discuss how incentives are driving extremism, distrust, and cultural breakdown in the UK. From YouTube algorithms and purity spirals to immigration, economics, feminism, AI, and debt, we explore why honest debate is collapsing and why every political movement now frames itself as an existential last stand. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 – Introduction 00:05:29 – Purity Spirals Explained 00:10:18 – the Overton Window Effect 00:17:21 – When Ideas Become Unworkable 00:25:23 – Leaving Britain for Perspective 00:35:10 – Diagnosing the Uk 00:44:42 – Culture vs Economics 00:54:56 – Existential Politics 01:05:58 – Inflation & Asset Capture 01:43:29 – Red Lines and Leaving - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 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 GOLD › Twitter – https://x.com/AndrewGold_ok › YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@andrewgoldheretics 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 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
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: 00:00:00 – Versions Of Islam 00:03:19 – Policy Decisions Matter 00:06:01 – Media Silence 00:09:24 – Radicalisation Feedback 00:22:35 – Demographic Debate 00:37:38 – Policing Speech 00:46:40 – Authority Breakdown 00:56:16 – Extremism Threat 01:23:37 – Britain Is Declining 01:30:30 – Where's The Money - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 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 KHALED HASSAN › Twitter – https://x.com/Khaledhzakariah 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 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
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 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
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.

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 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
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 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
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.

In this conversation, Larry Sanger explains how Wikipedia's governance structure allowed anonymous editors, activist groups, PR firms, and institutional power to capture what became the world's default source of truth. This isn't a culture-war rant. It's a structural explanation of how neutrality failed and why reform may no longer be possible.

This country doesn't work anymore. 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. I'm not calling for chaos. I'm calling for something far more dangerous to the state: Withdrawal of consent. This is a conversation about: – Why living standards never improve – Why every government consolidates power – Why identity politics is a trap – Why money printing breaks societies – And why peaceful, lawful non-compliance may be inevitable SHOW NOTES › https://substack.com/@petermccormack › https://www.inolongerconsent.com/ › https://x.com/ConsentEnds CONTACT PETE › Website - http://petermccormack.com › Feedback - https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email - me@petermccormack.com › Instagram - /mccormack555 › X/Twitter - https://x.com/petermccormack/ SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ › Gemini - https://gemini.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 – Introduction 01:55 – "This Country Doesn't Work Anymore" 05:36 – Government as an Extractive Machine 06:33 – Nick Fuentes & Piers Morgan 09:41 – Why Identity Politics Makes the State Stronger 12:22 – Voting Isn't an Option 15:00 – What Withdrawing Consent Means 22:25 – Peaceful vs Violent Revolution 29:47 – Mass Lawful Non-compliance Explained 36:27 – Creating a Movement 40:54 – Uncontrolled Money Creation 48:26 – Separation of Money & State 51:00 – Final Position: Why I'm Convinced This is Right - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST › 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 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Carl Benjamin is a political commentator and cultural critic. This discussion focuses on diagnosis — not slogans — and on understanding consequences before they arrive. Young men aren't radicalising because of ideology, they're reacting to a world that no longer works for them. In this conversation with Carl Benjamin, we break down why the post-war consensus has collapsed, why politics feels illegitimate and why a generation feels pushed to the edge. In this episode we discuss: – Why young men feel shut out of the system – The collapse of the post-WWII consensus – Piers Morgan, Nick Fuentes, and generational revolt – Identity politics vs material reality – Legitimacy, consent, and non-compliance – Why politics no longer fixes anything – What happens when power has no limits – Why discomfort is unavoidable - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:04:18 – Why Young Men Feel Politically Homeless 00:11:42 – Moral Outrage vs Material Reality 00:19:27 – Why Figures Like Nick Fuentes Resonate 00:27:53 – Identity Politics and Manufactured Resentment 00:36:41 – Media Incentives and the Outrage Economy 00:48:12 – Piers Morgan, Debate Culture, and Spectacle 01:01:08 – Loss of Legitimacy in Institutions 01:15:18 – What Happens if Nothing Changes 01:32:44 – Generational Breaking Point 01:35:21 – Final Warnings and Consequences - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 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 CARL BENJAMIN › Website – https://lotuseaters.com/ › Twitter – https://x.com/Sargon_of_Akkad 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 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
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. This isn't apathy. It's a vote of no confidence. In this episode: – Why politicians care about only one thing: staying in power – How unconstrained government creates inevitable failure – The collapse of trust in institutions – Why young people feel betrayed by the system – Nick Fuentes, Piers Morgan & generational revolt – Why Reform and the Greens are the same phenomenon – The moral failure of intergenerational debt – Why Britain needs limits on power, not new parties SHOW NOTES › https://substack.com/@petermccormack › https://x.com/PiersUncensored/status/1998127009981947930 › http://youtube.com/watch?v=UiAhS7AuB8k › https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkK312fMPsQ&t=3814s › https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TEnJ5pyFDg › https://graceblakeley.substack.com/p/generation-despair CONTACT PETE › Website - http://petermccormack.com › Feedback - https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email - me@petermccormack.com › Instagram - /mccormack555 › X/Twitter - https://x.com/petermccormack/ SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ › Gemini - https://gemini.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 – I've Reached an Inflection Point 02:06 – Why All Governments Are Set to Fail 05:43 – The One Thing All Politicians Care About 08:23 – Nick Fuentes, Piers Morgan & Moral Outrage 12:43 – Why Young People Don't Care Anymore 19:18 – Collapse of Institutional Trust 24:24 – We Sold the Future to Avoid Recessions 27:10 – The Rise of Reform & the Greens Explained 30:44 – Withdrawing Consent from the State 45:13 – Why Britain Needs Limits on Power - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST › 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 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Mike Green is a macro strategist known for his work on market structure, benchmark distortions, passive flows and systemic fragility. 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. In this conversation, he breaks down how a flawed model became accepted as truth, how it quietly rewired incentives, and why he thinks the consequences are now impossible to ignore. In this episode we discuss: – What the "broken benchmark" actually is – How flawed assumptions shaped U.S. economic policy – Why markets mispriced risk for decades – The rise of passive flows and distorted price signals – How asset inflation hurt the middle class – Why housing affordability collapsed – Why policymakers didn't correct the model – The structural consequences for future generations – Whether America can fix the system without a crisis – How the UK is importing the same benchmark problems - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 – How a Benchmark Became a National Problem   00:16:24 – The Rise of Passive Flows & Market Distortion   00:32:18 – Why America Misprices Risk   00:48:05 – Asset Inflation & the Middle-Class Squeeze   01:04:22 – Housing, Debt & Structural Fragility   01:19:57 – Why Policymakers Didn't Fix the Benchmark   01:36:44 – Elites, Incentives & the Illusion of Prosperity   01:53:30 – The UK's Imported Benchmark Problem   02:10:42 – What a Saner Benchmark Would Look Like   02:27:15 – Future Scenarios & Final Thoughts - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 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/ › 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
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: – How economics became political ideology – Why neoclassical theory broke the West – The Left vs Right illusion in economic policy – What money really is (and how banks actually create it) – Why inflation is misunderstood by almost everyone – How private debt fuels instability and inequality – Housing, mortgages & the destruction of the middle class – Why equilibrium economics is fantasy – What a sane, reality-based economic model looks like – How young people can survive a debt-driven system 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: 00:00:00 – Introduction  00:03:12 – Why Economics Became Ideology   00:09:04 – Economists vs Reality   00:14:47 – How Money Actually Works   00:21:18 – Banks, Loans & Money Creation     00:33:44 – Inflation: What Really Drives It   00:38:59 – Wages, Markups & Bargaining Power     00:47:55 – The Housing Crisis Explained   00:54:03 – Deregulation & the Death of Affordability   00:59:22 – Middle Class Collapse   01:04:48 – Left and Right Get Economics Wrong   01:11:02 – Neoclassical Economics 01:17:26 – The Problem With Economic Models   01:22:31 – Why Economists Misunderstand Production   01:28:08 – AI, Automation & The Future of Work      01:44:28 – Structural Failures    01:55:46 – Can Government Use Good Economics?   02:01:23 – Global Debt, Fragility & Future Crises   02:06:40 – What Would Real Reform Look Like?   02:13:28 – Why Young Generations Feel Hopeless   02:19:47 – Can We Build a Post-Ideological Economics?   02:25:10 – Final Thoughts   - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 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 KEEN › Website – https://www.patreon.com/ProfSteveKeen › Twitter – https://x.com/profstevekeen 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 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
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: – How inflation secretly taxes the poor – Why CPI hides the real cost of living – Europe's long, slow economic decay – The rise of modern socialism – Cronyism vs capitalism – Collective corruption of elites – Why asset inflation fuels inequality – The Argentina warning – Whether Bitcoin can fix the money – AI, automation & the coming labour shock Britain is being lied to — and people are finally waking up. Karl-Friedrich Israel is a German economist specialising in monetary policy, inflation and inequality. His work reveals the economic mechanisms accelerating Europe's decline. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 – The Inflation Lie 00:06:21 – CPI vs Real Cost of Living 00:12:13 – Inequality: What's Legit, What Isn't 00:14:02 – Why Socialism Is Surging Again 00:19:34 – Inflation as Political Illusion 00:24:10 – Welfare, Dependence & the Trap 00:26:47 – Argentina, Milei & Monetary Chaos 00:33:16 – Should We Abolish Central Banks? 00:37:21 – Europe's Coming Decline 00:53:59 – Brain Drain & the Death of Opportunity 00:58:07 – Academia's Ideological Capture 01:23:02 – AI, Job Loss & the Future Economy 01:39:19 – Bitcoin, Freedom & The Path Forward - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 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 KARL-FRIEDRICH ISRAEL › Website – https://kfisrael.com/ 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 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Marty has outstanding thoughts and cogent arguments. It is a shame that his "vocal fry" is as pleasant as rusty nails on a blackboard. It is most often young educated females who think that their ideas are more brilliant if delivered with raspy vocal noises imitating someone in the final stages of throat cancer. Marty Bent has compelling arguments...would be nice if he could talk without the overly contrived vocal fry that is obnoxious to listen to.

The U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says that she has not made up her mind about whether the Fed should issue a central bank digital currency (CBDC). “There are some benefits” to a digital dollar, Yellen said, but noted that “there are also meaningful costs.” https://bitcoin-tidings.com/us-treasury-secretary-yellen-says-shes-undecided-whether-the-fed-should-issue-digital-currency

The interview with Lynn was very interesting apart from where she talks about BTC being decentralised and POS being equity, the problem with these types of argument is that they essentially take it’s read that the only real proof of stake platform is Ethereum, that’s simply not the case , Ethereum is still a mix of POS and POW , to see POS at work one should look at Cardano and Algorand they are decentralised to the extent possible, far more than BTC with its uneven ownership
