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…

Middle East expert Thomas Small joins The Winston Marshall Show for a gripping, eye-opening conversation on the chaos in Syria—focusing on the horrific massacres of the Druze minority and the explosive aftermath of Assad's fall.

Small breaks down the recent surge of violence, shedding light on complex tribal dynamics, historical conflicts between Druze and Bedouin tribes, and how Israel's strategic goals have fueled instability in the region. He explains the rise of Jolani, the enigmatic leader now ruling Syria, detailing his shifting allegiances, pragmatism, and complicated relationships with Israel, Iran, and the U.S.

They discuss Hezbollah's role, Iran's regional ambitions, the aftermath of Israel's devastating 12-day war against Iran, and the volatile new geopolitical landscape emerging from Syria’s continuing chaos.

All this—the Druze massacres, Israel’s controversial tactics, Jelani’s uncertain agenda, and the hidden complexities behind Syria’s spiraling crisis…

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…
