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

Former Royal Marine and war correspondent James Glancy joins The Winston Marshall Show to expose the forgotten frontlines in the global war against the West—from the collapse of South Africa to the decline of Britain itself.Glancy paints a stark picture of South Africa’s state failure: rampant corruption, electricity blackouts, water scarcity, violent crime, and a government captured by radical Marxist factions. He warns of the Chinese Communist Party’s growing grip on African nations through arms deals, infrastructure control, and soft power dominance. But the rot isn’t limited to the Global South.Turning to the UK, Glancy sounds the alarm on the surge in illegal small boat crossings across the Channel—highlighting how Britain’s borders are no longer secure, and its military forces, once the pride of the West, are being hollowed out by budget cuts, political cowardice, and institutional decay.We explore how both nations—one emerging, the other formerly imperial—are now plagued by similar crises: elite complacency, ideological capture, and the erosion of national identity.All this—CCP power plays, Britain’s vanishing navy, border chaos, racial politics, and the silent unravelling of Western civilisation…Watch more of James HERE: https://www.youtube.com/@UCXQDiBz2AxH3HzuIT09g9FA -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------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 1:44 James Glancy's Military Background and Early Career7:32 Tours in Afghanistan and the Impact of Conflict 13:21 Strategic Defence Review and British Military Decline 37:33 Chagos Island and British Foreign Policy 1:01:34 British Military Role in Channel Crossings1:08:32 South African Farm Attacks and Racial Incitement 1:11:34 White Farmers' Safety and Media Representation 1:18:59 Complexities of Race Relations and Farming Life 1:22:20 Economic and Social Impact of Farming1:24:12 Refugee Status and Political Implications 1:30:46 Conclusion and Future Plans Hosted on Acast.

Author and satirist Andrew Doyle joins The Winston Marshall Show to unpack the death throes of the woke movement—and why the culture war is entering a dangerous new phase. Doyle makes the case that wokeness, as we’ve known it over the past 15 years, is collapsing—from the fall of DEI in major corporations to legal blows against gender ideology and the quiet retreat of activists once loud and proud. But he warns that authoritarianism never truly dies—it mutates. The two dive into the roots of wokeness in postmodern theory and Marxist identity politics, the alliance between Islamists and progressives, and why institutions like the NHS, civil service, and comedy world became infected with ideology pushed by just 8% of the population. Andrew also defends free speech by arguing that provocative art like Kneecap's performances and Kanye West's controversial song should be protected as essential expressions of artistic freedom.All this—non-crime hate incidents, Islamophobia laws, comedy censorship, deep state subversion, and the long war between liberty and control…-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------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 Critique of Wokeness and Political Correctness 1:45 The End of Woke: A New Phase5:31 The Decline of Wokeness 8:28 The Cultural Turn and Marxist Influence19:00 The Role of Authoritarianism in Wokeness 34:50 The Impact of Wokeness on Democracy 40:22 The Defence of Liberalism 1:02:22 The Failure of Liberalism and the Rise of Post-Liberalism 1:05:02 Kanye West and Censorship 1:08:14 Kneecap Band and Their Controversial Statements 1:16:20 Artistic Expression and Incitement to Violence 1:22:07 Free Speech and Political Figures1:25:18 Liberalism and Political Figures 1:30:09 Conclusion and Book Promotion Hosted on Acast.

Theologian and First Things editor R.R. Reno joins The Winston Marshall Show for a sweeping intellectual conversation on nationalism, identity, and the postwar consensus that still haunts the West.Reno argues that the true crisis isn’t a conspiracy—but a consensus forged after WWII: a fear of nationalism, religion, and moral conviction, shaped by the horrors of Auschwitz and Hiroshima. He calls this the age of “weak gods”—a culture hollowed out by relativism, therapeutic liberalism, and meaning without truth.From Karl Popper and the Open Society to the cult of DEI and the rise of populist rebellion, Reno makes the case that Western civilization is suffering from a kind of civilizational PTSD—and that only the return of “strong gods” like loyalty, love, and faith can offer redemption.All this—postwar ideology, the collapse of civic trust, mass migration, shared mythos, and the spiritual malaise of modern life…-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------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 1:49 Populism and Its Global Phenomenon 4:32 The Return of Strong Gods 21:58 Karl Popper's "The Open Society and Its Enemies" 28:29 The Impact of Post-War Consensus on Education 47:33 The Return of Strong Gods and the Role of Love 1:09:32 The Role of Religion and Spirituality in Society 1:14:37 The Impact of Popper's Ideas on Conservatism 1:18:31 Loyalty and Fanaticism in Sports and Society 1:21:15 Nationalism vs. Patriotism 1:23:15 Censorship and the Never Again Mentality1:27:54 The Death Throes of the Open Society Consensus 1:33:41 The Role of Strong Gods in Non-Western Countries 1:37:32 The Paradox of Western Ideologies 1:38:21 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Hosted on Acast.

Veteran journalist Eli Lake joins The Winston Marshall Show for a sweeping, provocative conversation on Israel, foreign lobbying, and the ideological corruption of American academia.Lake dismantles the conspiracy theories swirling around AIPAC and explains why blaming the Israel lobby for U.S. foreign policy is both analytically lazy and politically dangerous. He warns that the real threat comes from foreign influence through backdoor channels—Qatari billions funding American universities, PR firms, and think tanks that shape the national conversation.They dive into the Foreign Agents Registration Act, China's influence via TikTok, and the rise of academic anti-Zionism, tracing it back to Edward Said and the postcolonial dogma now dominant in elite institutions like Columbia.All this—foreign influence, the weaponization of academia, Middle East power games, and the narrative wars shaping the West…-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------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 1:17 Introduction and AIPAC5:03 Foreign Aid and Military Industrial Complex 8:21 AIPAC's Influence and Criticism 19:22 Historical Context of AIPAC and Foreign Lobbying 34:29 Qatar's Influence and Hamas Funding 45:41 Free Speech and Deportation of Mahmoud Khalil 58:22 Columbia University and Anti-Semitism 1:05:11 Qatar's Role in Middle East Negotiations1:10:28 Arab League Plan and Ceasefire 1:13:19 Challenges and Future Leadership 1:16:07 Historical Context and Podcast Promotion 1:17:49 Conclusion Hosted on Acast.

He argues that the real enemy isn't your neighbor—it’s the oligarchs running Washington, BlackRock, and Big Tech.From Trump’s appeal to the populist left, to the weaponization of identity politics by corporate elites, to the deep state’s grip on foreign wars and media censorship—nothing is off-limits.Jimmy and Winston discuss the Israel-Hamas conflict from different perspectives - October 7th, Netenyahu and the end of the recent ceasefire.All this and much more…-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------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----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters00:00 Introduction 02:01 Economic Policies and Globalization 07:21 Manufacturing and Globalization's Impact on Workers10:04 Illegal Immigration and Worker Solidarity 14:41 Historical Context and Deep State Influence 21:25 Trump's Foreign Policy and Public Perception 29:15 Israel and the Greater Israel Project 44:57 Trump's Relationship with Israel and the Palestinian Conflict 55:20 Hope for the Future and the Role of Working People1:05:44 Jimmy Dore's Political Stance and Upcoming Tour Hosted on Acast.

Historian and author Raymond Ibrahim joins The Winston Marshall Show for a powerful, eye-opening conversation on the hidden history of Islam’s conquest of the Christian world—and why so few dare to speak about it today.Raymond traces the rapid Islamic expansion following Muhammad’s death, showing how, within just one century, Muslim armies had violently overrun three-quarters of the original Christian world—from Syria and Egypt to Spain and deep into Europe.He dismantles the myth of Andalusian "tolerance," reveals the brutal realities behind the so-called Islamic Golden Age, and explains how the Islamic conquests shattered the Mediterranean world, plunging Europe into the Dark Ages.Raymond explores the modern censorship around Christian persecution, the resurgence of historical jihadist rhetoric in groups like ISIS, and the urgent lessons today's leaders refuse to learn.All this—the real story of the Crusades, the lost Christian heartlands, the enduring legacy of conquest, and the history the mainstream media won’t touch…Learn more about Raymond belowRaymond’s Website: https://www.raymondibrahim.com/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------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----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------00:00 – Introduction01:37 – Who is Raymond Ibrahim?02:21 – Personal Background: Egyptian Heritage and Academic Journey05:00 – From Academia to Writing: A New Path06:08 – Key Works: Sword and Scimitar and Christian Persecution07:12 – The Impact of His Work and Public Controversy10:00 – The Battle of Yarmouk: Turning Point in Islamic Expansion12:10 – The Expansion of Islam: From Arabia to the Christian World17:07 – The Battle of Tours: Stopping the Islamic Advance20:00 – The Dark Ages: How Islam Shaped Europe’s Future25:00 – Why Was the Muslim Conquest So Successful?28:50 – The Reconquista: A Slow and Steady Christian Resistance33:13 – Andalusia: Myths of Peaceful Coexistence40:00 – The Seljuk Turks and Pre-Crusade Persecutions44:10 – Pope Urban II and the Call for the First Crusade50:00 – The Crusades: Misunderstood or Justified?55:30 – The Battle of Manzikert and the Beginning of the Crusades1:00:00 – Charlemagne and the Rise of Christian Defensiveness1:05:00 – Early Relations Between Islam and the West1:10:30 – The Persecution of Christians in the Middle East1:15:00 – Crusades: Religious Wars or Defensive Actions?1:20:00 – The Myths of Islamic Golden Age Contributions1:25:00 – Crusades and Their Aftermath: The Long-Lasting Impact1:30:00 – The Religious and Ideological Roots of the Conflict1:35:00 – Western Misunderstanding of Islamic History1:40:00 – The Rise of Jihadism and Modern Conflicts1:45:00 – The Importance of Historical Context in Modern Conflicts1:50:00 – The Ongoing Persecution of Christians1:55:00 – Reflections on Western Values and Islamic Influence2:00:00 – Conclusion: Understanding the Past to Navigate the Future Hosted on Acast.
