AI isn't just getting smarter - it's getting more personal. In this episode, Mark Suman explains how modern AI systems are learning not just what we know, but how we think. From "thought capture" to behavioural influence, this is a shift from tools that assist us… to systems that can guide us. We explore the incentives behind AI: data collection, engagement loops, and the economic pressure to centralise intelligence. What happens when those systems are controlled by governments, corporations, or both? The conversation expands into something deeper - power, autonomy, and whether individuals can retain sovereignty in a world where both money and intelligence are increasingly centralised. This isn't a prediction of dystopia. It's a discussion about direction - and whether we're building tools for freedom… or control. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Thought Capture Explained 01:42 - Why No One Is Thinking About This 04:58 - AI We Don't Understand 08:25 - Mapping Human Thinking 10:23 - Algorithms & Manipulation 14:03 - Privacy vs Convenience 30:00 - Layers of AI Risk 31:20 - Weaponising AI Systems 45:00 - Centralised Power Risk 1:12:59 - Jobs & AI Shift 1:29:11 - AI Exhaustion - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com › Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email – me@petermccormack.com › Instagram – /mccormack555 › X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH MARK SUMAN › Website – https://trymaple.ai/ › Twitter – https://x.com/marksuman SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Saily - https://saily.com/peter › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE

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

Are we witnessing the organic collapse of the Western world, or is the current global chaos a highly engineered script? Simon Dixon returns to map out the hidden architecture of global power. He breaks down how the Financial, Military, and Technical Industrial Complexes are actively managing a transition to a multipolar world. From the "transitional theater" of the Middle East to the weaponization of global debt, Simon explains how elites are using chaos to asset-strip the West and consolidate their wealth in a K-shaped economy. We also discuss the pivot to the real pandemic: the profound psychological trauma and existential dread infecting modern society. We discuss our own mid-life reckonings, the horrifying reality of an AI-driven digital control grid, and the ultimate rebellion against the system. In this episode, we cover: The Theater of War: Why current geopolitical conflicts are a scripted reallocation of resources, not unpredictable chaos. The Power Triad: How the FIC, MIC, and TIC control governments, global capital flows, and the media narrative. The Epstein Leverage: Why the true rulers of the world aren't in the files, but control who gets exposed by them. The 10-Year Escape Plan: Why self-custody of hard assets (like Bitcoin and gold) and fully withdrawing from fiat equities is your only defense. The Spiritual Rebellion: Navigating the moral decay of fiat society, the necessity of analog community, and Simon's personal journey to theology and the Quran. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

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: 00:00:00 - System Failure 00:02:09 - Iron Law Explained 00:06:21 - Voter Delusion 00:09:49 - Anti-Establishment Energy 00:17:38 - System Changes You 00:21:23 - Who Holds Power 00:24:05 - Can It Be Broken 00:30:13 - Fear Politics Trap 00:39:49 - Benevolent Elites 00:53:34 - Reform Critique 01:28:18 - Trump Betrayal - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 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 NEEMA PARVINI › X/Twitter – https://x.com/AcademicAgent_X › Substack – https://forbiddentexts.substack.com/ SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify:

The "Net Zero" transition is built on a mathematical impossibility. The UK power grid currently relies on just over one hour of battery backup, and the political consensus is pushing us closer to civilisational collapse. Nuclear chemist and author Tim Gregory explains why the current agenda to replace fossil fuels entirely with wind and solar is a dangerous illusion. He breaks down the harsh realities of our energy infrastructure: why rolling blackouts are a genuine threat , how the government is paralyzed by absurd regulations , and why the ultimate "green" scam is chopping down North American forests to burn as "renewable" biomass. We also explore the long arc of human history, from the dawn of fire to the Kardashev scale. Beyond the energy crisis, we discuss the psychological damage of the smartphone era , the rapid acceleration of AI , and why our survival ultimately depends on harnessing the power of the atom. *In this episode, we cover:* •⁠ ⁠The 1-Hour Warning: Why grid-scale batteries cannot prevent rolling blackouts when the wind stops blowing. •⁠ ⁠⁠The Biomass Fraud: How burning wood chips became the UK's biggest single source of CO2 emissions. •⁠ ⁠⁠The £700 Million Fish: The insanity of regulatory red tape and why the government built a "fish disco" instead of a power plant. •⁠ ⁠⁠The Truth About Chernobyl: Why the air pollution from fossil fuels kills more people every 30 minutes than the entire Chernobyl disaster. •⁠ ⁠⁠The Kardashev Scale: Why human progress and survival depend on expanding into space and harnessing the energy of our local star. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 – Net Zero Reality 00:02:16 – Can Renewables Replace Fossil Fuels? 00:05:00 – The Blackout Risk 00:10:00 – Nuclear vs Environmentalism 00:14:36 – The Truth About Chernobyl 00:24:16 – Why Batteries Don't Work 00:27:26 – Energy Density Explained 00:52:49 – Why Infrastructure Fails 01:04:24 – The Nuclear Plan 01:10:56 – AI's Energy Demand 01:30:00 – Humanity's Future In Space - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com › Feedback – http

The engineers building Artificial Intelligence do not actually know how it works. They are not programming it; they are "growing" it and they have no idea what it will do next. Connor Leahy is an AI researcher and former builder of Large Language Models. In this interview we discuss Silicon Valley, where he reveals the reality inside the top tech labs: the "alignment problem" being unsolved, the race for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) accelerating and the people in charge are flying completely blind. We discuss the chaotic trajectory of superintelligence, the corruption of the tech elite, the Department of Defense's recent moves and the disturbing new phenomenon of "AI Psychosis" where users are being manipulated by the systems they use. In this episode, we cover: The "Black Box" Problem: Why the creators of AI cannot predict what it will do. Silicon Valley Corruption: Why "sociopaths have domesticated nerds" to build dangerous tech. The Wargames: Why AI consistently chooses nuclear escalation in simulations. "AI Psychosis" & Spiral Cults: The terrifying psychological toll AI is taking on its smartest users. The Loss of Control: What happens to humanity when we build a system we can no longer steer. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 – AI Engineer Origins 00:07:47 – When GPT Changed Everything 00:12:47 – Inside Neural Networks 00:19:03 – How AI Actually Learns 00:27:58 – Growing Intelligence 00:31:19 – The Alignment Problem 00:36:41 – AI and Nuclear War 00:47:03 – Should AI Be Paused? 00:52:39 –

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

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: 00:00:00 – Debt Reality 00:01:57 – Math vs Politics 00:06:26 – Already In It 00:08:51 – Japan Warning 00:14:38 – Acute Phase Risk 00:15:32 – What To Do 00:21:33 – End Of The Cycle 00:34:13 – AI Disruption 00:40:20 – 2007 Parallel 00:49:07 – UBI & Politics 00:58:02 – Sovereign Insolvency 01:08:26 – Meaning & 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 LUKE GROMEN › X/Twitter – https://x.com/LukeGromen › Website – http://fftt-llc.com/ SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM

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: 00:00:00 – Introduction 00:33:35 – "The West Is Over" 00:41:36 – No Saving America 00:43:47 – Internet First Future 00:52:52 – Take The L 01:10:28 – Debt Reality 01:29:12 – Liquidate.

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.

In this episode, Curtis Yarvin argues that modern democracies may lack clear sovereignty and that technological acceleration and sovereign debt are exposing that weakness.

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: 00:00:00 - The Threat 00:05:27 - 12GW At Risk 00:08:03 - Political Complacency 00:11:59 - Iberia Blackout 00:14:47 - 65-85% Probability of Blackouts 00:28:02 - January Near Miss 00:36:08 - What Rationing Looks Like 00:39:34 - Governance Failure 00:40:54 - Nuclear Build Path 00:55:04 - Civilisational Risk - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com › Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email – me@petermccormack.com › Instagram – /mccormack555 › X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH KATHRYN PORTER › X/Twitter – https://x.com/KathrynPorter26 › Website – https://watt-logic.com/ SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ › Incogni - https://incogni.com/peter - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM

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

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

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

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 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
