Political scientist Yascha Mounk joins The Winston Marshall Show for a sharp, wide-ranging discussion on the evolution of populism, the crisis of democracy, and the future of America's political coalitions.

Mounk draws a clear line between populism and fascism, warning that even democratically elected movements can veer into dangerous territory—citing Venezuela and Turkey as cautionary tales. 

He critiques the failures of modern media, the persistence of woke ideology post-Trump, and the inefficiencies of U.S. foreign aid programs like USAID.

The conversation turns to 2024: Kamala Harris’s faltering coalition, the Republican Party’s pivot toward a multi-racial working-class base, and the growing tension between big donors and Main Street voters.

All this—populism’s promise and peril, woke culture’s staying power, the death of old political norms, and the battle for America’s soul...

Tim Pool welcomed The Winston Marshall Show to his West Virginia compound for a high-stakes conversation on civil strife, censorship, and the looming risk of American collapse.

Tim makes the case that the U.S. is already in a Civil strife—escalating from administrative sabotage to sporadic political violence, and warns that the tipping point is near. From Trump’s lawyer arrests to Tesla firebombings, from judges blocking executive power to the targeting of Elon Musk—nothing, he argues, is off the table anymore.

The two dive into the Fourth Turning, the MAGA revolution, and whether Trump could (or should) run for a third term.

All this—populist revolt, Big Tech warfare, Soros-backed chaos, and the war no one wants to name…

Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks joins The Winston Marshall Show to rip into Trump’s China tariffs—and the bipartisan rot at the heart of American politics.

He slams the MAGA trade war as clumsy and counterproductive, arguing that broad-brush tariffs will backfire economically and geopolitically. Uygur calls instead for smart, targeted industrial policy—and a higher minimum wage to lift up working Americans.

With trademark fire, Cenk torches corporate capture in both parties, hails economic populists like Ro Khanna and Greg Casar, and urges the left to drop the culture wars and focus on kitchen-table issues: wages, drug prices, and inequality.

All this—populism left and right, Trump’s economic fallout, and the future of honest politics in an era of tribal madness… #trump #tariffs #politics

Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt joins The Winston Marshall Show for a no-holds-barred conversation on the decay of American institutions—from Soros-backed prosecutors to Big Tech censorship.

Schmitt recounts his early battles against "taxation by citation" in Ferguson, exposing how local bureaucrats turned traffic tickets into a cash cow—and how that injustice sparked bipartisan reform.

He lifts the lid on the Soros NGO network, the rise of activist judges, and the collapse of law and order in cities like St. Louis, where violent crime surged while prosecutors turned a blind eye.

The conversation turns to Missouri v. Biden, where Schmitt helped expose government coordination with social media giants to silence dissenting voices on COVID, vaccines, and lockdowns. He blasts the Biden administration’s Disinformation Governance Board as “Orwellian,” and warns that the First Amendment is on life support.

All this—free speech under siege, activist judges, USAID scandals, and the $2 trillion debt crisis no one wants to talk about… #trump #courts #america

Congressman Thomas Massie joins The Winston Marshall Show to lift the lid on Washington’s broken spending machine and Congress's Silent Coup against President Trump.

He takes aim at the lobbyists and party bosses who sabotaged key parts of the MAGA agenda, from slashing federal spending to dismantling the Department of Education.

Massie sounds the alarm on a compromised Social Security database, raising fears over non-citizen voting—and calls for an end to omnibus bills that keep the government lurching from one shutdown threat to the next.

All this, Trump-era dysfunction, tariff truth bombs, and a rare voice for fiscal sanity in D.C…

JFK expert and investigative journalist Jefferson Morley joins The Winston Marshall Show to break down the explosive new revelations from the release of 80,000 JFK assassination files.

He outlines the CIA’s decades-long surveillance of Lee Harvey Oswald, and points to damning evidence of deception by senior intelligence officials—James Angleton, Richard Helms, and George Joannides.

From intercepted mail to falsified testimony, from CIA infiltration of U.S. embassies to the sealed Kennedy family interviews—this episode dives into the heart of America’s most enduring political mystery.

Morley explores the consequences of the 1992 JFK Records Act, Trump’s executive order for transparency, and the shadow still cast over Langley.

But most importantly, he exclusively reveals never seen before files...

All this and much more...

Professor Eric Kaufmann discuss the evolution and future of woke, noting its peak and potential resurgence. It was not in fact ended by the reelection of Donald Trump, he argues, and in this interview explains why. Kaufmann argues that woke-ism, characterised by the sacralisation of marginalised groups, has seen a decline in corporate and educational practices but remains strong among younger generations. Will there be new versions of BLM, MeToo, Antifa as a reaction to Trump’s second term? Are we already seeing it in response to Elon Musk, with the targeting of Tesla?

Eric and Winston explore the concept of national identity in the era of “diversity is our greatest strength”. What is the truth about ethnonationaolsm? Is former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak English? They also explore the impact of immigration on social cohesion, and national identity.He notes that cultural debates, such as those over free speech and diversity, are a secondary response to populism. And that populism is a response to mass migration, Islam, LGBT and feminist issues.

Eric Peter Kaufmann is a Canadian professor of politics at the University of Buckingham. He is author of several books including: ‘The Rise and Fall of Anglo-America: The Decline of Dominant Ethnicity in the United States’, ‘Shall the Religious Inherit the Earth?: Demography and Politics in the Twenty-First Century’, ‘Whiteshift: Populism, Immigration, and the Future of White Majorities’ and ‘The Third Awokening’

Anti-Elon Musk arson and vandalism targeting Tesla’s have erupted up and down America and across the world. Far Left anarchism is back.

And it turns out that Trans are over represented amongst alleged perpetrators. Or as journalist Andy Ngo calls them: Trantifa.

Andy Ngo, a journalist and author, discussed the rise of far-left extremism, particularly the over-representation of transgender individuals in recent attacks on Tesla dealerships across the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Ngo highlights that these attacks, which include arson and bombings.

With Winston they examine to what extent they are coordinated, by Dogequest for example.

Andy also detailed the Zizians, a transgender, transhumanist, rationalist cult linked to multiple violent deaths, including the murder of a Border Patrol agent and a double homicide.

Ngo criticises the mainstream media for downplaying the ideological aspects of these extremist groups and their transgender identities.

And Winston and Andy discuss how their lives have become entangled…#tesla #elonmusk #news

Kelsi Sheren, a Canadian war veteran and activist against assisted dying, discusses the expansion of “Assisted Dying” and euthanasia in Canada, Britain, USA and the West.

In the U.K. the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, introduced by Kim Leadbeater, proposes to legalize assisted dying for terminally ill adults in England and Wales. Sheren explains the dangers of this proposed bill

She argues that MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying), initially intended for terminally ill individuals, has expanded to include those with mental illnesses and mature minors.

She cites examples of misuse, such as a 27-year-old autistic woman approved for MAID.

Sheeran emphasizes the slippery slope towards eugenics and the societal impact of devaluing lives. #health #MAID #healthcare
