The Peter McCormack Show

Michael Malice is a bestselling author, anarchist and political commentator known for his savage wit and surgical insight. In this episode, we discuss the UK’s political collapse, the rise of civil unrest, grooming gangs, anarchism, why America has freedom and Britain doesn't, and whether anything can be saved. We cover: – Tories and Labour as rival gangs – Why free speech is over in the UK – Civil war, private security, and local resistance – The rape gang cover-ups and media complicity – American liberty vs British obedience – Why anarchism isn’t chaos — it’s clarity

Tommy Robinson is one of the UK’s most controversial public figures. Demonised by the press, jailed repeatedly, and banned from social media. In this episode, we talk about free speech, grooming gangs, government lies, working-class rage & the weaponisation of the judiciary. We cover: – The media smears & public perception – His prison experiences & assassination attempts – The truth about grooming scandals & cover-ups – The fight for local order – Why he thinks Britain is on the edge of revolt – His criticisms of Farage, Reform UK & the case for Advance

Reem Ibrahim is a 23-year-old libertarian and one of Britain’s most articulate defenders of freedom. In this powerful episode, we talk about her journey from Corbyn-supporting teen to Rothbard-reading free market radical. We cover everything from why the state fails, why the NHS is collapsing, to why young people are 53% socialist & what we can do about it.

Daniel O’Reilly, also known as Dapper Laughs, was one of Britain’s most cancelled comedians. Now he’s back sober, sharp, and with something to say. In this episode, we dive into comedy, cancel culture, fatherhood, immigration, addiction, the working class & why Britain feels broken.

Carl Benjamin joins me for a conversations about the UK’s decline. From moral collapse and socialism-by-stealth to town centre decay and mass apathy, we dive into what went wrong and why fixing it might not be possible through conventional politics. Carl and I share personal plans for Swindon and Bedford, compare strategies and ask whether it’s time to stop waiting for government and start building parallel institutions ourselves.

Fernando Nikolić is a Bitcoiner, a former VP at Blockstream, and the founder of Perception, a tool for tracking global Bitcoin narratives. He joins me to talk about Argentina’s collapse, the danger of inflation, and why fiat currency is the biggest gaslighting project in modern history.   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 FERNANDO NIKOLIĆ › X/Twitter - https://x.com/basedlayer › Company - https://perception.to/ SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ › Gemini - https://gemini.com/ › Casa - https://casa.io/ › Incogni - https://incogni.com/peter - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 – Introduction 00:01:18 – Why Britain Is Starting to Feel Like Argentina 00:02:37 – Is the UK Ready for a Milei Moment? 00:07:24 – Why Britain Needs Bitcoin 00:09:47 – The Return of Communist Ideology 00:22:28 – Policing, PR, and Political Theatre 00:30:00 – Private Sector vs Public Sector 00:36:46 – Why Bitcoin Is the Foundation for Real Change 00:43:52 – Bitcoin as Your Hedge Against the State 00:46:04 – Predictable Money vs Programmable Theft 00:52:18 – Argentina Warning to the West 00:55:27 – The Bitcoin Savings Mindset 00:59:00 – Why Inflation Kills Ambition 01:07:12 – Bitcoin’s BlackRock Era vs Its Cypherpunk Roots 01:13:36 – Has Bitcoin Become Boring? 01:17:24 – If Bitcoin Becomes the Monetary Base, Do We Win? 01:20:00 – Paper Bitcoin: Are We Recreating Gold’s Failure? 01:23:36 – What Happened to the Bitcoin Revolution? 01:26:04 – Fernando’s New Project: Perception 01:28:03 – Narrative Warfare & Media Fragmentation 01:34:00 – Are We Heading for a Post-Internet World? 01:38:00 – AI, Deep Fakes, Dead Internet 01:44:32 – Why Culture Matters More Than Content - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 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

Laila Cunningham joins me to discuss the cultural crisis facing Britain and the West. We talk about mass immigration, the failure of multiculturalism, political identity, social disintegration, and the collapse of national cohesion. Laila explores the deep psychological impact of globalist policies, the struggle for meaning in a hyper-liberal age, and why the youth are increasingly disillusioned with progressive narratives. Is there a path back to order, tradition, and identity?

Sir John Redwood has been inside Downing Street and the Treasury. He’s seen the machine up close and he’s not impressed. Sir John explains why the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) and Treasury models are flawed, how Ireland beat Britain with smarter tax policy and what Thatcher got right that no one today is willing to say out loud.

Former Conservative MP Guy Opperman joins me to discuss rebuilding Britain from the ground up. We explore local banking, Bitcoin’s potential role in pensions, infrastructure challenges, and how community action can revitalise struggling towns. Drawing on his 14 years in Parliament and time as Pensions Minister, Guy explains why grassroots civic leadership and decentralisation are key to fixing Britain’s broken economy. We also discuss the failures of centralised politics, the importance of community banks, and how financial innovation – including Bitcoin – could help restore savings, trust, and economic resilience.

In this episode of The Peter McCormack Show, I speak with Balaji Srinivasan, founder of the Network School (ns.com). We discuss the decline of the West, the rise of China, AI disruption, Bitcoin’s role in a collapsing dollar system, and why political polarisation is tearing America apart. Balaji explains why dollar inflation is global taxation, why U.S. empire is unsustainable, and how decentralised technology is reshaping money, media, and geopolitics.

Businessman, former MEP, and leader of Advance UK Ben Habib joins The Peter Mccormack Show to deliver a blistering critique of Britain’s political and constitutional decline. In this discussion, Ben exposes how Tony Blair’s reforms, the Human Rights Act, and decades of globalist policies have eroded British sovereignty, weakened our borders, and crippled our economy.  We discuss the collapse of public trust, the migration crisis, EU entanglements, judicial overreach, and why Keir Starmer’s Labour government poses an existential threat to Britain’s future. Ben reveals Advance UK’s plan to rebuild the nation from the ground up: secure our borders, return power to Parliament, revive our economy, and defend British values.

Katie Lam, a Conservative parliamentary candidate and former senior civil servant, joins The Peter McCormack Show to deliver a critique of Britain’s cultural decay, political cowardice and the institutional failures undermining national trust. From grooming gangs and immigration to women’s safety and the collapse of political consensus, Lam calls for a bold new conservatism rooted in honesty, dignity and real public service. We discuss how the Left abandoned fairness, how the Right lost courage, and why Britain needs a cultural revival not just another election cycle.

Labour MP Josh Simons joins The Peter McCormack Show for a frank discussion on Britain's broken system and his mission to fix it from within. As founder of the Labour Growth Group, Simons challenges his own party’s orthodoxy on tax and the “win-win” rhetoric of the political establishment. He lays out a vision to put working-class people back at the heart of politics , rebuild our broken institutions , and radically rethink education for the age of AI. This is a blueprint for a different kind of Labour party and a look at how a new generation of politician is tackling the UK's decline.

Swiss politician Samuel Kullmann joins The Peter McCormack Show for a deep dive into Switzerland's unique model of governance and why it offers a powerful alternative to Britain's broken system. Kullmann breaks down the power of direct democracy, the importance of decentralised government, and how a nation run by part-time politicians with real-world skin in the game avoids the corruption and incompetence plaguing Westminster. Drawing a sharp contrast, he compares the stable, prosperous, citizen-led approach of Switzerland with the top-down, bureaucratic failure that is driving the UK's decline and wealth exodus. This is a lesson in how real democracy works, a blueprint for political accountability, and a vision of a future where power truly belongs to the people.

Historian David Starkey returns to The Peter McCormack Show for a blistering historical analysis of why modern Britain is broken. Starkey unleashes on the 'neophilia' of the Blair years, the catastrophe of incorporating universal human rights into English law, and the failure of modern conservatism to defend the nation's unique heritage. Drawing a line from the French Revolution to today, he contrasts the organic, bottom-up wisdom of English individualism with the top-down, bureaucratic model of continental Europe. This is a lesson in the ideas that underpin true liberty, the importance of historical continuity, and the urgent need to recover the values that once made Britain exceptional.

Max Winga, an AI safety advocate from Control AI, joins The Peter McCormack Show for a sobering look at the existential risk posed by artificial intelligence. In this episode, Max reveals how the reckless race for superintelligence, a profound lack of enforceable safety measures, and the apathy of global governance are putting humanity on a potential path to extinction. We explore the chilling capabilities of emerging AI, the concept of a runaway "intelligence explosion," why top AI researchers are sounding the alarm, and what happens when we can no longer control our own creations.

Kathryn Porter, energy analyst and founder of Watt-Logic, joins The Peter McCormack Show for a data-driven takedown of the UK’s broken energy system. In this episode, Kathryn exposes how Net Zero ideology, civil service incompetence, and corporate rent-seeking have driven up bills, destabilised the grid and betrayed the public. We dive into the real cost of wind, the myth of “cheap renewables,” the politics behind energy policy and why nuclear and gas remain the only viable paths forward. This is a forensic, clear-eyed look at the UK’s energy crisis and what needs to happen to fix it.

Alex Phillips joins The Peter McCormack Show for a raw and wide-ranging discussion on the breakdown of safety, honesty, and leadership in modern Britain. A former Brexit Party MEP and fearless media commentator, Phillips pulls no punches on Labour’s collapse, the rise of woke economics, and the growing failure to protect women and working-class communities. We examine political cowardice, mass migration, cultural instability and the daily erosion of public trust. From the broken justice system to collapsing schools and rising crime, Alex makes the case that Britain’s elite have abandoned their responsibilities and that only radical honesty can rebuild what’s been lost.

Christopher Monckton is a former advisor to Margaret Thatcher, a mathematician, a climate skeptic and a fierce critic of state overreach. In this interview, Lord Monckton tears into Britain’s deep state, the climate cult, and the moral collapse of Western politics.   We talk about the real cost of Net Zero, the true roots of liberty, and how institutional rot, from the courts to the civil service, has sabotaged the country. Monckton dives into Thatcher’s forgotten legacy, the economic philosophy behind small government and why love, not control, must sit at the heart of politics.  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 CHRISTOPHER MONCKTON › X/Twitter - https://x.com/chris_monckton › Email - monckton@mail.com SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ › Gemini - https://gemini.com/ › Casa - https://casa.io/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: (0:00) – Introduction (4:32) – Thatcher’s views (9:43) – Civil service sabotage (17:56) – Love as a political philosophy (20:39) – Abortion law & PTSD case (27:43) – Communism & moral decline (35:08) – Islam, birth rates & cultural conflict (43:39) – Farage & Reform (52:34) – How Reform can capture government (1:01:07) – House of Lords & constitutional reform (1:09:23) – Net Zero & energy economics (1:17:59) – The global warming impact calculation (1:26:04) – Climate physics error exposed (1:34:43) – The free market vs state grift (1:43:00) – Bitcoin, private currency & pensions (1:51:14) – National debt & abolishing the BoE (1:58:12) – Conservative collapse (2:03:50) – Final thoughts on liberty & love - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 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 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
