After six years of being mismanaged on so many fronts, New Zealand requires firm direction.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Winston Peters, opens up on our relationship with the U.S., the Middle East, China and Russia.

We discuss the Covid inquiry, the WHO, the state of the world and New Zealand’s place in it.

And we visit the first (very full) Mailroom of the year with Mrs Producer.

At the same time a new private institution, the University of Austin, Texas, is prepping for its opening.

Leighton is on summer break, so we are highlighting some of his favourite guests from 2023.

Professor James Allan returns to discuss our election, Jordan Peterson, The Voice, and Trumps legal challenges.

Jim encourages any so-called conservative parties to “fight the culture wars”.

Has any party in New Zealand got the required courage?

Is there “weaponised collusion” between The White House and the DOJ?

And what are the top universities and law schools teaching?

It’s a broad and energetic conversation.

In a world of lies, scepticism is your friend.

David Bell is a Public Health Physician and biotech consultant in global health.

What he has to say should be heard by every thinking person in this country, and every other “free” state on the planet.

As the World Health Organisation meets to convince countries to endorse changes to it’s original purpose, Dr Bell warns that “the WHO has changed and now it is a threat”.

Science is in trouble.

Facts have taken a back seat to ideology, and political activism masquerades as scholarship. We live in an age of increasing unreason. Can science be saved?

John Staddon, Professor of Biology and Psychology and “battle-scarred” by decades of experience, urges scientists to resist the demands for their unconditional surrender.

AGAINST THE GREAT RESET; 18 THESES CONTRA THE NEW WORLD ORDER…

In one of the most informative and enjoyable interviews, we talk with editor and contributor Michael Walsh.

He and sixteen eminent writers contributed a total of eighteen chapters on the World Economic Forum.

Each author wrote on a different aspect; for example, the socialist history of woke capitalism, big tech and government censorship, and the WEF’s ideas for a fourth industrial revolution with China's commitment to being a leader of a post western world.

The events in Israel on October 7 shocked the world.

The differing reactions from various countries, cultures, races and religions should have shocked just as much.

The lack of historical knowledge and perspective exposed the thin veneer of civilisation.

The similarities and differences of AD 70 to 2023 indicate that while some things change, human nature doesn’t.

Via the writing of Josephus, Simon Sebag Montefiore and Douglas Murray, we can improve perspective.

Daniel Hannan sat as a Conservative MEP for 21 years.

During that period he made countless speeches, usually berating the European Parliament itself.

He was arguably one of the best members of the European Parliament.

Daniel was keen to discuss matters Covid, the new government in NZ, and the Israeli crisis.

And we finish up in The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.
