    #94 - Max Winga - The 5-Year Countdown to AI Extinction

    Max Winga, an AI safety advocate from Control AI, joins The Peter McCormack Show for a sobering look at the existential risk posed by artificial intelligence. In this episode, Max reveals how the reckless race for superintelligence, a profound lack of enforceable safety measures, and the apathy of global governance are putting humanity on a potential path to extinction. We explore the chilling capabilities of emerging AI, the concept of a runaway "intelligence explosion," why top AI researchers are sounding the alarm, and what happens when we can no longer control our own creations.

    #93 - Kathryn Porter - NUCLEAR is the Answer, NET ZERO is the Problem

    Kathryn Porter, energy analyst and founder of Watt-Logic, joins The Peter McCormack Show for a data-driven takedown of the UK’s broken energy system. In this episode, Kathryn exposes how Net Zero ideology, civil service incompetence, and corporate rent-seeking have driven up bills, destabilised the grid and betrayed the public. We dive into the real cost of wind, the myth of “cheap renewables,” the politics behind energy policy and why nuclear and gas remain the only viable paths forward. This is a forensic, clear-eyed look at the UK’s energy crisis and what needs to happen to fix it.

    #92 - Alex Phillips - Labour’s COLLAPSE, WOKE Economics & Women’s SAFETY

    Alex Phillips joins The Peter McCormack Show for a raw and wide-ranging discussion on the breakdown of safety, honesty, and leadership in modern Britain. A former Brexit Party MEP and fearless media commentator, Phillips pulls no punches on Labour’s collapse, the rise of woke economics, and the growing failure to protect women and working-class communities. We examine political cowardice, mass migration, cultural instability and the daily erosion of public trust. From the broken justice system to collapsing schools and rising crime, Alex makes the case that Britain’s elite have abandoned their responsibilities and that only radical honesty can rebuild what’s been lost.

    #091 - Rupert Lowe - Reform’s FAILURE, Restore's MOMENT & Westminster’s ROT

    Independent MP Rupert Lowe joins The Peter McCormack Show to deliver a scathing critique of Britain’s political decline. A former Brexit Party MEP, former Reform UK MP and outspoken critic of the Westminster elite. Lowe exposes how global institutions, corporate lobbyists and unaccountable bureaucrats have hollowed out the UK’s democracy. From the collapse of British farming and industry to the rise of green ideology and financial manipulation, he warns that the country is being sold out from within. This is a discussion about sovereignty, national decline and what it will take to turn Britain around.

    #090 - Lord Monckton - The NET ZERO Scam, Reform’s Rise & Thatcher’s Legacy

    Christopher Monckton is a former advisor to Margaret Thatcher, a mathematician, a climate skeptic and a fierce critic of state overreach. In this interview, Lord Monckton tears into Britain’s deep state, the climate cult, and the moral collapse of Western politics.   We talk about the real cost of Net Zero, the true roots of liberty, and how institutional rot, from the courts to the civil service, has sabotaged the country. Monckton dives into Thatcher’s forgotten legacy, the economic philosophy behind small government and why love, not control, must sit at the heart of politics.  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 CHRISTOPHER MONCKTON › X/Twitter - https://x.com/chris_monckton › Email - monckton@mail.com SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ › Gemini - https://gemini.com/ › Casa - https://casa.io/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: (0:00) – Introduction (4:32) – Thatcher’s views (9:43) – Civil service sabotage (17:56) – Love as a political philosophy (20:39) – Abortion law & PTSD case (27:43) – Communism & moral decline (35:08) – Islam, birth rates & cultural conflict (43:39) – Farage & Reform (52:34) – How Reform can capture government (1:01:07) – House of Lords & constitutional reform (1:09:23) – Net Zero & energy economics (1:17:59) – The global warming impact calculation (1:26:04) – Climate physics error exposed (1:34:43) – The free market vs state grift (1:43:00) – Bitcoin, private currency & pensions (1:51:14) – National debt & abolishing the BoE (1:58:12) – Conservative collapse (2:03:50) – Final thoughts on liberty & love - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST › 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 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    #089 - Raja Miah - How Politicians BETRAYED Grooming Gang Victims

    Raja Miah is a whistleblower and campaigner who has spent over six years exposing the cover-up of grooming gangs across Britain. In this episode, he lays out the full scope of a national scandal: children raped and trafficked, the perpetrators protected by politicians, police and the media. All in the name of protecting votes. We discuss the damning findings of the Casey review, the cowardice of Keir Starmer, the complicity of Labour MPs, and the role of the BBC in suppressing the truth. Raja explains how new Islamophobia laws threaten free speech and why this isn’t over because victims are still coming forward, and the state is still failing them.

    #088 - Assisted Dying, Abortion Reform and Medical Ethics w/ Calum Miller & James Bogle

    Dr. Calum Miller, NHS doctor and bioethics researcher, joins James Bogle, a barrister and legal expert in end-of-life cases, to discuss two of the most divisive issues in modern politics: assisted suicide and abortion. Drawing on decades of experience in medicine and law, they reveal how Britain's latest legislation undermines the Hippocratic Oath, endangers vulnerable patients, and reflects a deeper erosion of our moral and legal foundations. We explore the NHS pressures behind these changes, disturbing real-world examples from Canada and Europe, and why public debate on life and death is being shut down.   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 CALUM MILLER › X/Twitter - https://x.com/drcalummiller › Website - https://calumsblog.com   CONNECT WITH JAMES BOGLE › X/Twitter - https://x.com/10KBW › Website - https://10kbw.co.uk/barrister/james-bogle/   SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ › Gemini - https://gemini.com/ › Casa - https://casa.io/   - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -   TIMESTAMPS (0:00) – Introduction   (2:40) – Should we legalise assisted dying?   (5:00) – The NHS pressure to free up beds   (7:58) – Parliamentary vote breakdown   (12:29) – Hippocratic Oath undermined   (15:00) – Political cowardice and free votes   (21:29) – How rushed was this bill?   (27:07) – Misdiagnosis   (33:02) – 90% of palliative care doctors are against it   (37:24) – Prognosis is not an exact science   (40:08) – Are we turning doctors into executioners?   (50:00) – The role of coroners erased   (58:53) – Can the NHS workload handle this?   (1:01:08) – The Rubicon and the slippery slope   (1:10:00) – Equality law driving suicide access   (1:18:18) – The right to try experimental treatment   (1:33:43) – Morphine and midazolam abuse   (1:41:50) – Lord Sumption’s warning on social pressure   (1:45:00) – Government apathy and moral weakness   (1:48:49) – Abortion law change: what really happened?   (1:51:56) – 39-week abortion to hide affair   (2:00:17) – Society creating the problem it now punishes   (2:06:36) – Consequences of not protecting life   (2:10:34) – Final thoughts: time to reopen the abortion debate?   - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -   LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST › 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   - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    #087 - Peter Whittle - Leftist Capture, Government Betrayal and Cultural Decay

    Peter Whittle is a cultural commentator, author, and founder of the New Culture Forum, a think tank challenging the dominance of progressive orthodoxy in British institutions.  In this interview, Peter breaks down the deep institutional capture of Britain, the betrayal by both major parties, and why polite reform isn’t enough. We discuss the failure of the police and media, the collapse of national identity, and the urgent need to rethink the structure of government. Peter explains how culture drives politics, and why fighting back starts with building our own institutions.
