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.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sat down with journalist, author, and host of The Brink, Jake Wallis Simons, to unpack the latest in the Israel–Hamas war, the UN’s controversial genocide report, and Britain’s recognition of a Palestinian state.
We examine what Keir Starmer’s decision really means — and why Hamas itself has called it the “fruits of October 7.” Jake explains how the propaganda war has been waged from 1947 to today, why the UN has long been biased against Israel, and how famine and aid are manipulated as weapons in the conflict.
We also discuss Jake’s new book Never Again: How the West Betrayed the Jews and Itself, where he argues that anti-Semitism is a symptom of the West’s civilizational decline, from centrist fundamentalism to the rise of radical ideologies.
A wide-ranging conversation on Israel, Gaza, the UN, Western weakness, and whether we can restore our lost values.

Journalist Michael Tracey joins The Winston Marshall Show for an uncompromising deep-dive into the murky world of Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and the web of conspiracies surrounding their crimes.
Tracey separates fact from fiction — breaking down Epstein’s 2008 plea deal, the failures of federal prosecutors, and the dubious credibility of key accusers like Virginia Giuffre. He exposes how much of the “Epstein mythology” has been built on shaky claims, media sensationalism, and opportunistic lawyers, while real questions remain about Epstein’s finances, intelligence links, and the powerful figures in his orbit.
They discuss Prince Andrew, Alan Dershowitz, the infamous “Little Black Book,” and the Miami Herald investigation that reignited the scandal. Tracey also examines the suspicious circumstances of Giuffre’s recent death, her fortune from settlements, and the ongoing disputes over her estate.
All this — Epstein’s crimes, Maxwell’s role, the credibility crisis of accusers, media distortion, and the conspiracies that refuse to die…

Journalist and author Batya Ungar-Sargon joins The Winston Marshall Show for a hard-hitting conversation on Trump’s second term, America’s working class, and the fight to rebuild the middle of the country.
Ungar-Sargon breaks down Trump’s economic revolution — from tariffs and immigration controls to reindustrialisation and the push to restore American manufacturing. She explains how these policies are shifting the balance of power away from the elites and back towards ordinary workers, while corporate media and political insiders try to discredit them.
They discuss the fentanyl crisis, China’s role in hollowing out American industry, and why Trump’s fight over tariffs in the Supreme Court could redefine U.S. economic sovereignty. Batya warns that without bold changes, the American dream risks collapsing for an entire generation.
All this — tariffs, Trump’s revolution, the fentanyl epidemic, immigration, and the battle to save America’s working class…

Investigative journalist Andy Ngo joins The Winston Marshall Show for a harrowing conversation on the murder of Charlie Kirk, political violence, and the media’s complicity in misreporting to fit their agenda.
Andy explains how far-left extremist networks celebrated the assassination, how narratives were laundered to downplay the killing, and why America is entering a dangerous new phase where political violence is normalised. Drawing on his years investigating Antifa, Ngo lays out the connections between online subcultures, extremist ideology, and the growing climate of hate.
We discuss Portland as ground zero, the role of sympathetic journalists in shielding extremists, and the chilling rise of assassination culture in U.S. politics. Andy warns that unless exposed, these networks will keep eroding trust and silencing dissent through fear.
All this— Antifa’s evolution, media distortion, and the dangerous new normal of America’s culture war on the streets…

Author Rob Henderson joins The Winston Marshall Show to dissect America’s deepening political divide.
From the shocking murder of Charlie Kirk to the refusal of Democrats in Congress to honor his death, Henderson explores how anger has tipped into hatred — fueling a climate where political violence is no longer unthinkable. He distinguishes between anger as bargaining, and hatred as wishing opponents didn’t exist, warning of a dangerous escalation.
Drawing on his work in psychology, Henderson explains the “dark triad” — narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy — and how social media rewards these traits, amplifying extremism online. He considers how the lack of a common enemy after the Cold War and 9/11 has turned Americans inward, seeing each other as the threat.
From immigration battles and “luxury beliefs” among elites, to the gender divide in politics, marriage, and the rise of anti-natalist ideology — Henderson maps out how cultural and psychological fault lines are remaking American life.
Can the US pull back from the brink of hatred-fueled politics?

Author, comedian, and economic commentator Dominic Frisby joins The Winston Marshall Show for a sweeping conversation on money, empire, and the collapse of the postwar consensus.
Frisby, whose viral songs made him an unlikely folk hero, turns here to the themes of his new book The Secret History of Gold. He explains why money is the “blood of society,” how Nixon’s 1971 decision to abandon the gold standard set the stage for endless inflation, and why fiat money is driving inequality, debt, and the anger fuelling populist revolts from Trump’s Rust Belt to Javier Milei in Argentina
They trace the story back to Bretton Woods, Roosevelt’s gold confiscation, and the technocrats who used paper money to expand the modern state. Frisby warns that today’s bloated governments, trapped in debt and endless money-printing. But can gold or Bitcoin restore trust and prosperity?
All this—the golden age of Britain, the fiat fraud of the 20th century, Javier Milei’s revolution, and why fixing money is the key to fixing the West…

Greg Lukianoff, president of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, joins The Winston Marshall Show for a sweeping conversation on free speech, censorship, and the dangers of state overreach.
Lukianoff warns that Britain is sliding into authoritarianism with the Online Safety Act, the arrest of comedian Graham Linehan for “offensive tweets,” and thousands of citizens detained each year for speech crimes. He explains why Americans should be alarmed—not only because of cultural ties, but because UK and EU laws like the Digital Services Act now risk exporting censorship to the United States.
They discuss the chilling effect of “non-crime hate incidents,” the hypocrisy of politicians who ignore Islamist extremism while cracking down on online speech, and why Big Tech is tripping over itself to appease Brussels bureaucrats. Lukianoff contrasts this with the Trump administration’s free speech battles on university campuses, where anti-Semitism and harassment rationales are being used to justify speech codes.
They also dive into the deeper history—Lenin, Marx, communism, and why the West never reckoned with the crimes of socialism—leaving us vulnerable to a new wave of ideological totalitarianism.
All this—Britain’s speech crisis, EU overreach, Trump and the universities, and the global struggle to preserve freedom of expression in the 21st century…

Lubna Zaidi joins The Winston Marshall Show for a fearless conversation on Islam in Britain, extremism, and the cultural crisis tearing the UK apart.
From her rise as a YouTuber after The Apprentice to becoming a lightning rod for controversy, Lubna explains why she began calling out her own community for failing to integrate, excusing extremism, and protecting grooming gangs. She describes the backlash—death threats, intimidation, and even people turning up at her home—simply for speaking uncomfortable truths.
They discuss the silence of so-called moderates, the dominance of extremist voices online, and the dangerous culture of denial around honour-based violence and child exploitation. Lubna warns that Britain is importing “hillbillies” from Pakistan without vetting, fuelling parallel societies that reject British values and put the country’s future at risk.
All this—grooming gangs, intimidation, failed integration, extremist apologists, and one woman’s fight to tell the truth about what’s really happening inside Britain’s Pakistani Muslim community…

Michael Malice joins The Winston Marshall Show for a blistering conversation on socialism, Stalin, and why the West never learned the right lessons from the 20th century’s bloodiest ideology.
Malice, born in Soviet Ukraine, dismantles the myths of socialism’s “good intentions,” exposing how Western intellectuals and journalists excused gulags, famine, and mass terror in the name of progress. From the Fabian Society’s wolf-in-sheep’s-clothing origins to the New York Times’ whitewashing of Stalin’s crimes, he shows how elites twisted reality to protect their ideological faith.
They discuss the post-war consensus, the West’s obsession with fascism while downplaying communism, and the uncomfortable truth that socialist ideas keep returning—whether through Bernie Sanders in the U.S. or Jeremy Corbyn in Britain. Malice warns that socialism isn’t just a failed experiment but a recurring temptation for societies in decline.
All this—luxury beliefs, starvation by design, media complicity, and why the socialist dream refuses to die…

Faisal Saeed Al Mutar joins The Winston Marshall Show for a powerful conversation on freedom, reform, and the unfinished business of the Middle East.
Faisal is an Iraqi refugee who lived through the chaos of Saddam’s fall and the U.S. invasion. He recounts his journey from Baghdad to America, and how those experiences shaped his mission to promote secularism, literacy, and critical thinking in the Arab world. He exposes how extremism thrives on ignorance, and why authoritarian regimes—from Iraq to Qatar—use culture, religion, and oil wealth to maintain power.
They discuss the failures of U.S. foreign policy, Trump’s controversial deals with Gulf states, and the ongoing struggle for genuine reform in a region caught between dictatorship and jihadism. Faisal argues that real change must come from empowering young people with ideas, not weapons.
All this—the Iraq War, Qatar’s influence, the dangers of authoritarianism, and one man’s fight to build a freer Middle East…

Luke de Pulford joins The Winston Marshall Show for a hard-hitting discussion on China’s global influence, Christian persecution, and the West’s dangerous complacency.
De Pulford details Beijing’s stranglehold on critical supply chains, from rare earth minerals to pharmaceuticals, and exposes how this economic leverage is used to silence criticism of its human rights abuses. He highlights the plight of persecuted Christians, Uyghur Muslims, and other minorities, and the systematic dismantling of freedoms in Hong Kong.
They explore China’s infiltration of Western institutions, its manipulation of international bodies, and the moral cost of prioritising trade over justice. De Pulford warns that without decisive action, the West risks becoming economically dependent and morally compromised.
All this—economic blackmail, religious persecution, political infiltration, and the urgent need to confront the CCP’s global ambitions…

Journalist and researcher Charlotte Gill joins The Winston Marshall Show for a blistering exposé on government waste, academic absurdity, and the taxpayer-funded empire of ideological nonsense.
Gill reveals how billions of pounds are being siphoned into bizarre research projects through UKRI and its academic arms—the AHRC and ESRC. From “gay pig masculinities” to “Green inclusion”. Gill has uncovered an astonishing archive of publicly funded work that seems more like parody than policy.
We discuss how Britain’s universities became captured by radical ideology under the guise of scholarship. Gill warns that without scrutiny, these institutions will keep draining public money into activism masquerading as research.
All this— gay p*rn studies, postmodern pseudoscience, and the quiet bureaucracies turning academia into a taxpayer-funded circus…

Ann Coulter joins The Winston Marshall Show for a no-filter conversation on Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and the powerful elites who still haven’t faced justice.
Coulter digs into the unanswered questions around Epstein’s death, the sweetheart deals that protected him for years, and why the media refuses to name names. She exposes the bizarre silence surrounding Maxwell’s trial and sentencing—asking why none of their high-profile clients have been held accountable and what is really happening behind the closed doors of the White House with Attorney General Pam Bondi.
They discuss the complicity of state agencies, the role of Maxwell, and why Epstein’s story is the ultimate indictment of a ruling class that protects its own.
And she gives her thoughts on why Trump isn’t releasing the Epstein files.
All this—elite impunity, media cowardice, institutional rot, and the scandal that still haunts the corridors of power…

Political philosopher Yoram Hazony joins The Winston Marshall Show for a sweeping conversation on faith, nationhood, and the collapse of the postwar liberal order.
Hazony lays out how the consensus forged after World War II—built on globalism, secularism, and individual autonomy—is disintegrating under the pressures of identity politics, cultural relativism, and civilisational amnesia. He argues for a return to tradition, rooted in family, faith, and the nation-state, as the only antidote to the West’s accelerating decline.
They explore the false promise of rationalist liberalism, the betrayal of conservative institutions, and why Western elites now see religion and patriotism as threats rather than virtues.
All this—the crisis of meaning, the rise of woke authoritarianism, national renewal, and the urgent need to rediscover the foundations that once made the West strong…

Catherine Perez-Shakdam joins The Winston Marshall Show for an astonishing firsthand account of how she infiltrated Iran’s inner circle—posing as a devout Muslim to gain access to the highest levels of the regime.
In this explosive conversation, Perez-Shakdam reveals how she met the Ayatollah, was recruited by Tehran’s ideological machine, and witnessed the brutal inner workings of a regime obsessed with control, martyrdom, and religious supremacy.
She details the psychological toll of living a double life, the whispers of internal dissent, and the ideology she describes as “genocidal.”
They explore the regime’s strategic use of Western converts, the manipulation of media narratives, and how Iran exports its revolutionary vision far beyond its borders.
All this—espionage, radicalisation, religious indoctrination, and one woman’s battle to expose the truth from inside the heart of the Islamic Republic…

Entrepreneur and Head of DOGE at Reform UK, Zia Yusuf joins The Winston Marshall Show for a jaw-dropping exposé on Britain’s Afghan cover-up, mass migration crisis, and the state’s total abandonment of its own people.
Zia breaks down the staggering truth behind the secret relocation of over 18,000 Afghans to the UK—hidden from the public under a super injunction and bankrolled with £7 billion in taxpayer money.
He reveals how sex offenders slipped through due to a lack of vetting, and how British veterans are being evicted to house illegal migrants at inflated rates.
Zia uncovers how county councils are spending public money on Netflix, Nando’s, and safari trips for asylum seekers—while British families struggle to heat their homes. Zia argues this is no longer mere incompetence—it’s betrayal at the highest levels.
All this—systemic corruption, mass deception, migrant incentives, and the explosive rise of a political insurgency determined to dismantle the blob…

Writer and cultural critic Brendan O’Neill joins The Winston Marshall Show for a searing breakdown of Ireland’s Israel obsession, immigration, and the ideological void left by the collapse of Catholicism.
O’Neill paints a portrait of modern Ireland, where Israelophobia has become a quasi-religion—replacing the moral certainty once provided by the Church. From Dublin to rural Connemara, Palestinian flags fly, Holocaust memorials are politicised, and the Irish President himself compares Israel to the Nazis.
They explore Ireland’s drift from its once pro-Israel roots, the rewriting of Irish history, and the influence of postcolonial ideology and woke dogma. O’Neill warns that antisemitism is no longer just a fringe prejudice—it’s now embedded in elite institutions, political discourse, and cultural life.
All this—Ireland’s moral inversion, anti-Israel mania, the rise of “progressive” bigotry, and the dangerous return of the oldest hatred in a new disguise…

Middle East specialist Andrew Fox joins The Winston Marshall Show for a haunting, firsthand account of the horrors unfolding in Gaza—and the global narratives that refuse to face the truth.
Fox, recently returned from the region, describes scenes of unspeakable brutality—massacres, ch*ld soldiers, and war crimes ignored by much of the international press. He explains how Hamas manipulates both civilians and the global media to fuel its propaganda war, while using human shields to mask its operations.
They discuss the international community’s moral double standards, the weaponisation of victimhood, and the psychological toll on those who witness the atrocities firsthand.
All this—media distortion, humanitarian tragedy, Hamas war tactics, and the unseen horrors the world still refuses to look at…
