Mike Benz - Exposing The EU’s Plot To Destroy Free Speech in America

Mike Benz - Exposing The EU’s Plot To Destroy Free Speech in America

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Mike Benz, former State Department official and leading critic of the Censorship Industrial Complex, to expose how governments and NGOs are working hand-in-glove with Big Tech to police free speech across the West.


Mike explains how the EU’s Digital Services Act and Britain’s Online Safety Act are being used to impose AI-driven censorship, threatening not only European citizens but also Americans posting from within the US. We explore how these laws function as a “digital censorship regime,” backed by crippling fines and international coordination.


From USAID funding NGOs to shut down cross-border political movements, to the Hate Lab in Cardiff feeding real-time speech data to UK police, Benz reveals how censorship has become industrialised — and how Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter briefly broke the system.


We also discuss the Biden administration’s role, the UK’s crackdown on comedians and dissidents, and the disturbing reality of AI censorship ‘Death Stars’ designed to silence debate on elections, COVID, climate, and more.


A deep dive into the machinery of modern censorship — and what it means for the future of free speech in the West.

Sir Trevor Phillips - The Truth about Windrush, Immigration and Identity in Britain

Writer, broadcaster and former politician, Sir Trevor Phillips joins The Winston Marshall Show for a frank and fearless conversation on Windrush, race and Britain’s deepening cultural divides.Phillips reflects on his journey from championing multiculturalism to warning that Britain’s model of integration is broken. He unpacks how good intentions gave way to segregation, silence, and parallel societies—where shared values are eroded and tough questions are avoided in the name of tolerance.Phillips tackle the failures of the political class, the limits of diversity policy, and the dangers of importing American-style race politics into the British context.All this—identity, immigration, institutional fear, and the reckoning facing a nation that’s lost faith in its own story…-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 00:00 Introduction of Sir Trevor Phillips and His Book 3:57 Personal Links to the Windrush Story 9:07 The Windrush Generation's Ambition and Determination 11:07 Challenges and Misconceptions About Immigrants 17:20 The Impact of the Windrush Generation on British Society 33:21 The Role of Education and Social Discrimination 39:35 The Evolution of British Identity and Tolerance 49:45 The Challenges of Modern Immigration and Integration57:29 The Importance of Legal Immigration and Integration Efforts 1:07:50 The Legacy of the Windrush Generation Hosted on Acast.

Ambassador Michael Oren - How The West Enabled The Iran Axis to Grow Unchecked

Former Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Michael Oren joins The Winston Marshall Show for a sweeping conversation on Iran-Israel war — and why the West keeps failing to see the bigger picture.Oren warns that the missile attacks from Iran are just the surface of a much deeper, ideological war—one in which Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and others act as Tehran’s proxies in a global jihadist strategy. He explains why the West misreads the region, mistaking economic grievances for religious zeal, and how this blindness has led to years of appeasement and strategic failure.Oren discusses historic missteps, the illusion of moderation, and the rising threat of a direct Iran–Israel confrontation that could drag the world into war.All this—Iran’s global network, the myth of proportionality, jihadist ideology, and the price of Western naivety…-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 00:00 Introduction 07:32 The Obama Administration's Approach to Iran 20:06 The Trump Administration's Perspective 25:00 The Biden Administration's Approach and the JCPOA's Violations 34:47 The Military Capabilities and Strategy of Operation Lion's Roar 45:28 The Potential for Regime Change in Iran 57:43 The Role of the U.S. and International Support 1:00:10 The Impact of British and Canadian Actions on Israel 1:04:03 The Historical and Geopolitical Context of the Conflict Hosted on Acast.

Former Israeli government spokesman, Eylon Levy joins The Winston Marshall Show to break down the recent wave of attacks between Israel and Iran—and what they signal for the future of the Middle East.Levy details how the Islamic Republic’s fingerprints are all over the region’s escalating chaos: from Hamas’s massacre on October 7th, to missile strikes launched from Syria and Iraq, to Hezbollah’s mounting aggression in the north. He warns that Iran’s proxy war is entering a new phase.We discuss wavering support, the failure of Western deterrence, and why the global community’s obsession with “proportionality” is empowering the very forces threatening regional—and global—stability.All this—Iranian escalation, proxy terror, Western weakness, and the gathering storm on Israel’s borders…-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------0:00 Introduction3:20 What's happening 7:15 The Problem With Western Media10:48 What the Left Gets Wrong About Israel14:32 The ‘Decolonization’ Narrative19:40 Is Israel Winning the Media War?25:10 The Iranian Threat & Israel’s Dilemma29:30 The Disinformation Playbook34:45 The Global Rise of Antisemitism38:00 Why Israel Is Fighting for the West41:45 TikTok Genocide Deniers & Online Hate45:30 The Limits of International Law49:00 What Happens After Hamas?52:40 Eylon’s Message to the World Hosted on Acast.

Jonathan Pageau - “World War II is the founding myth of the modern world” The End Of The World War Two Consensus

Theologian and cultural commentator Jonathan Pageau joins The Winston Marshall Show for a profound discussion on meaning, myth, and the crumbling foundations of the post-war consensus.Pageau argues that the secular order built after WWII—rooted in liberalism, materialism, and the rejection of transcendent values—is collapsing under the weight of its own contradictions. As old narratives dissolve, chaos rushes in to fill the void: identity politics, technocracy, and ideological extremism.They explore the spiritual cost of modernity, the dangers of trying to build a society without sacred stories, and why the breakdown of shared mythos is leaving the West vulnerable to civilizational decay.All this—rituals, relativism, revolution, and the desperate search for meaning in a world that has forgotten its soul…-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters2:39 Reframing World War II and Its Consensus 43:28 Emerging Narratives and Historical Revisionism 58:21 The Dichotomy of Nationalism and Globalism 1:05:41 The Role of Symbols in Cultural and Political Narratives 1:08:54 Online Phenomenon and Political Parties 1:15:43 Role of Christianity and Identity 1:21:34 Nationalism and Empire vs. Modern Nation-State 1:24:15 Closing Thoughts Hosted on Acast.

Tim Samuels - The War on White Men and The Tyranny of DEI in 2025

Documentary maker and journalist Tim Samuels joins The Winston Marshall Show for a thoughtful and challenging conversation on masculinity, identity, and the unique crisis facing white men in the modern West due to DEI. Samuels explores how white working-class men are increasingly left behind—struggling with poor mental health, social disconnection, and a sense of being vilified in mainstream discourse.They discuss the collapse of traditional male roles, the decline of industrial jobs, and the lack of public sympathy for a group often portrayed as privileged, yet facing rising suicide rates and dwindling prospects.All this— forgotten communities, identity taboos, and the silent suffering of men who no longer recognise the world they’re in…Watch first episode of 'White Men Can't Work' here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-iSxM8Xt8o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters0:00 Intro & Context3:14 What Is DEI?

Matthew Syed - The Anti-Western Ideology of The Elite

Author and broadcaster Matthew Syed joins me on The Winston Marshall Show for a sharp takedown of the post-colonial guilt underlying the decision making of Britain’s governing elite, Britain’s looming debt crisis, the case for diversity and the decline of reason in Western discourse.Syed dismantles the lazy assumptions behind identity politics, arguing that equality of opportunity has been hijacked by a culture obsessed with group identity. He warns that diversity, when divorced from excellence, becomes a hollow virtue—and that critical thinking is being replaced by moral posturing.Syed delves into Britain's racial discourse, the myth of systemic whiteness, and the dangers of importing American-style race politics into a very different British context.All this—taboo truths, intellectual cowardice, the tyranny of groupthink, and the fight to restore reason in an age of ideological madness…-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters0:00 Introduction 2:20 Matthew Saeed's Career and Views on Elite Guilt13:23 Historical Context and Moral Psychology 22:23 British Colonialism and Its Legacy 31:17 Challenges of Modern British Policy 55:54 The Role of Nationalism and the Nation State 1:00:10 The Impact of Post-Modernism and Critical Theory 1:13:59 The Consequences of Elite Failure and Guilt1:16:43 Diversity and Unity in Sports and Society Hosted on Acast.

Raja Miah joins The Winston Marshall Show a harrowing interview exposing the full extent of political capture, community intimidation, and media complicity behind Britain's grooming gang scandal.Raja Miah unpacks how taxpayer-funded NGOs, local councillors, and powerful religious leaders colluded to silence whistleblowers and gaslight victims.
