Dave Rubin sat down with Andrew Gold, the former BBC filmmaker who now hosts Heretics. The title of the episode is the claim: if this is not stopped, the UK’s fall is irreversible.
Gold starts with psychology. Political tribes and social-media loops, he says, run on the same machinery as cults: belonging, status, conformity. Intelligent people get trapped because the group rewards the approved answers. People usually leave only after the group mistreats them. October 7 did that for some progressive Jews.
Then the machinery that is supposed to keep the argument open.
Yesterday and today, Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta was hit by one of the largest single migrant surges in recent European memory.
Thousands of people (Spanish Interior Ministry figures later put the total who crossed or attempted to cross since Thursday morning around 50,000) poured in from Morocco. Many swam around the border fence. Reception centers for unaccompanied minors hit 2,400% of capacity. Local authorities declared a humanitarian and social emergency. At least nine people died in the water. Spain deployed military units to back up the Civil Guard. Morocco cooperated on rapid returns, and tens of thousands were already turned back by Friday.
President Trump addressed it during a cabinet meeting at Camp David. Here are the key lines:
“I saw Spain yesterday, and I watched the catastrophe that took place. It looks like an invasion of a country… hundreds of thousands of people.”
“That same thing’s going to happen to us if the Republicans don’t get elected, except worse. Much bigger… our country will be invaded at levels that made Spain look small time.”
“They’re coming in by the tens of thousands. They’re just invading the country… weak law, bad management, but very liberal law… That will look good compared to what’s going to happen to the United States.”
There’s a new Triggernometry interview with Peter Hitchens that dropped over the weekend. The title is blunt: “We Live in the Age of Delusions.” He spends a good portion of it diagnosing Britain’s condition with the kind of clarity most politicians still refuse to touch.

I had to write a far more timely news-based post regarding President Trump's new Air Force One (the one donated by Qatar in May 2025) and why he had to use the older Air Force One planes.
Glenn Beck recently highlighted a revealing moment from President Trump’s trip abroad. In his segment, Beck played clips from a gaggle aboard Air Force One where reporters were unusually asked to lower their window shades on the return flight from Turkey. Beck used the exchange to explore the serious security threats the president faces and how Trump appears to be mentally preparing for them.
This morning on the PBD Podcast, British MP Rupert Lowe joined Patrick Bet-David for a wide-ranging, no-holds-barred conversation. The episode — focused on the Rape Gang Inquiry Lowe recently released and Keir Starmer’s resignation — pulled no punches on Britain’s institutional failures, mass immigration fallout, and the rapid turnover of prime ministers.
It’s the kind of direct talk that rarely makes it through mainstream British media filters. Here’s a clear breakdown of who Lowe is and what stood out, especially his comments on the “revolving door” in the Prime Minister’s office.
Who Is Rupert Lowe?
Rupert Lowe is the Restore Britain MP for Great Yarmouth (elected in 2024 originally on the Reform UK ticket). He previously served as a Brexit Party MEP and built a career as a businessman, farmer, and former chairman of Southampton Football Club.
He split from Nigel Farage’s Reform UK after internal disagreements and launched Restore Britain as a harder-edged alternative focused on mass deportations, scrapping net-zero targets, and confronting what he calls the grooming gang cover-up. Lowe crowdfunded around £600,000 for an independent inquiry into organized child sexual exploitation, which he released recently. The report estimates (conservatively) up to 250,000 victims — mostly white British girls aged 11–13 — with perpetrators overwhelmingly of Pakistani Muslim background, alongside other groups.

In the conversation, which dropped amid news of Keir Starmer’s resignation, Lowe doesn’t hold back on Britain’s leadership instability and the grooming gang scandal.
I watched Ben Shapiro’s latest episode — “JD Vance’s Weekend Was Worse Than You Think” — and it hit on a key tension in how we handle high-stakes diplomacy. Then I checked Patrick Bet-David’s Valuetainment clip for more on Vance’s side of the story. Here’s a clear breakdown.
Vice President JD Vance led U.S. talks at the Bürgenstock resort near Lucerne with Iranian officials. Pakistan and Qatar mediated. Goals included Lebanon/Hezbollah de-escalation, nuclear steps, and keeping the Strait of Hormuz open.
Vance projected optimism: progress on ceasefires, possible IAEA inspectors returning, technical work ahead. Trump kept the hard edge with public warnings about consequences if Iran crossed lines.
Shapiro’s Critique: Optics Matter
Shapiro focuses on the visuals and tone:
No strong joint photos.
Moments where Vance appeared sidelined or lightly corrected.
Language leaning “give and take” rather than dominance.
Progress claims (assets, inspectors) called thin.
Takeaway: Looks like weakness next to Trump and Rubio’s firmer approach. “Not peace through strength.”
So it has happened. The British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced his resignation today. As was predicted with certainty by President Donald Trump. I wonder if his spot-on call came from communication between the two “peers.”
Fresh reports say UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer could announce a resignation timetable as early as Monday. The Observer detailed his weekend at Chequers and internal pressure, while Reuters and BBC covered the shifting mood inside Labour and speculation about successor Andy Burnham. President Trump weighed in on Truth Social, declaring “Keir Starmer will resign” and citing failures on immigration and energy.
I watched Bloomberg Originals’ This Is What Brexit Cost the World amid this news. Here’s a concise breakdown.
The Lebanon angle is one of the biggest reasons the US-Iran framework agreement feels shaky just days after it was signed. The deal isn't only about the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's nuclear program — it explicitly ties in ending military operations "on all fronts, including in Lebanon." This reflects Iran's long-standing support for Hezbollah and its insistence that regional ceasefires go hand-in-hand with any broader truce.
Why Lebanon Keeps Derailing Progress
Linked commitments: The memorandum calls for a permanent halt to fighting across the region, including Israeli operations in Lebanon. Iran has warned that continued strikes there violate the spirit (and possibly terms) of the deal.
Recent flare-ups: Fresh Israel-Hezbollah clashes — with strikes killing civilians and militants on both sides — led to the postponement of technical talks in Switzerland. Iran briefly claimed to close the Strait of Hormuz again in response, though shipping appears to continue.
Proxy dynamics: Hezbollah is a core part of Iran's "Axis of Resistance." Any deal that doesn't address Israeli presence or operations in southern Lebanon risks Iran backing away from nuclear concessions or Hormuz commitments.
US officials (including envoys like Steve Witkoff) are still heading to Switzerland for talks, with Vice President Vance involved, but the Lebanon situation adds real friction. Israel isn't a direct party to the US-Iran MoU, which complicates enforcement.
In this eye-opening Glenn Beck interview, South African farmer Jason Bartlett describes escaping what he calls a hidden massacre of white farmers and building a thriving new life in rural Alabama. The conversation is raw, hopeful, and full of contrasts that make you rethink everyday American freedoms.
In 2021, on this blog I shared a video from the edu-tuber Mr. Beat. He breaks down historic figures in a straightforward way, and one of them was billionaire George Soros. Here's what I wrote back then:
As of late you hear a lot about how Soros uses his fortune to fund politicians favorable to his political ideology. He's also been accused of funding soft on crime prosecutors here in this nation from Los Angeles to San Francisco to Philadelphia. Even right here in Cook County/Chicago with our current State's Attorney.
That post stuck with the basics—his funding of progressive causes and DAs. It didn't dig into the "why" or the full picture of what Soros represents.
Recently, I came across a video from Michael Franzese, a former mobster who's shared a lot of raw stories about living that Mafia life. He often steps back to look at bigger issues in the world today. This time, he takes a hard look at Soros.
Introduction: Trump’s Latest Deal in the Middle East
Folks, the United States and Iran have reached a preliminary memorandum of understanding (MoU) to de-escalate months of conflict. President Trump is calling it a strong step forward, centered on a ceasefire, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and 60 days of further talks on nuclear issues and sanctions.
It’s not a final peace deal, but it aims to end active fighting after over 100 days of tensions that disrupted global energy markets.
Key Points of the Agreement
Ceasefire: 60-day halt to hostilities, with paths toward lasting peace (including Lebanon-related issues).
Strait of Hormuz: Iran to reopen the vital oil waterway; US lifts naval blockade. This should ease supply pressures quickly.
Nuclear Program: Iran reaffirms no nuclear weapons pursuit. Talks will address enriched uranium stockpiles and enrichment limits.
Sanctions/Assets: Conditional relief based on compliance, including potential access to frozen funds.
Timeline: Formal signing elements expected soon in Switzerland.
The West is hitting a dangerous tipping point. Native citizens in countries like the UK are being pushed aside by policies that favor mass immigration from the third world, often at the expense of safety, culture, and basic fairness. Anti-white racism, demographic replacement, and elite contempt for everyday people are fueling growing unrest.
This blog used to be known for covering the news of the day so here's one development that's been discussed today regarding the Iran War. They've been talking about a deal and hopefully an eventual cessation of hostilities.
The US and Iran still need to work out several sticking points before an agreement on the war can be reached, Vice-President JD Vance has said.
Asked by the BBC if President Donald Trump was close to signing a deal, Vance said it was too early to say "when or if" the two sides would finalise an agreement.
The deal would reportedly extend the ceasefire for 60 days and launch talks on the future of Iran's nuclear programme.
Earlier on Thursday, US officials told the BBC that the two countries had agreed a framework of a deal, pending the approval of Trump and Iran's leadership.
But Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency reported the deal had not been finalised or confirmed.
Basically we wiped out their military, we killed the top tier of their leadership (remember in the initial airstrikes Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei was killed). Reports are the new Supreme Leader also Khamenei is incapacitated - when his appointment was announced all they showed as his head on a cardboard body, he wasn't even there to show himself as the newly appointed Supreme Leader.
I just wonder how long the Iranian Revolutionary Guard will continue fighting?
[VIDEO] Tommy Robinson is an activist making his rounds in conservative (right-wing) circles that has a lot to say about immigration and his thoughts on Islamic immigration. What he says seems infuriating, however, when you consider the whole idea of illegal immigration or unlimited immigration you might want to rethink what that entails.
Why does it seem like they want to fill up western nations with people who have little in common with the society? Could it be an invasion?
After watching Elimination Chamber this evening and following the news primarily online in addition to TV news regarding the strikes on Iran. These strikes are substantial and see that amongst other gov't officials killed in Tehran, the strikes claimed the life of Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Khamenei.
All I can say to that is wow. I was watching the emergency PBD podcast this morning and the Iranian regime seemed to announce that the Ayatollah has planned to speak, however, later on Saturday the regime confirmed that the Supreme Leader was killed. I was looking for some official confirmation as President Trump said he was killed in these strikes, and the Israeli gov't said he was dead.
Now I see that there were some retaliatory strikes by Iran on American military targets in the Middle East and Israeli targets.
At this point the only thing I can ask is what now? Will the Islamic Republic of Iran survive these airstrikes? Will the people of Iran rise up against the regime as they had been since about December last year?
Oh yeah a little history the Pahlavi family ran iran until 1979 when Iran was known as the Imperial State of Iran - Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was the King before he was overthrown in a revolution. In Pahlavi's place was the previous Supreme Leader of Iran the Ayatollah Khomeini. And we had well over 46 years of a very theocratic gov't that was considered a state sponsor of terrorism.
These airstrikes were as a result of stalled talks on Iran's nuclear program. The concern is that the theocratic regime would acquire nuclear weapons and use them. Last year in airstrikes US & Israeli had struck a severe blow to the Iranian nuclear program.
Either way most of the day on Saturday sees the emerging military operations over the skies of Iran and how long with this continue since the sitting executives of the gov't there had essentially been decapitated.
Here are President Trump's remarks on the airstrikes on Iran [VIDEO]
[VIDEO] I will trust Bill O'Reilly's take on the recent Trump administration actions against the President Dictator of Venezuela Nicolas Maduro. He gives you a basic rundown of Operation Absolute Resolve and that the police and military of Venezuela allowed the Army Delta Force to apprehend Maduro. There are a lot of moving parts to this mission I see.
Well this weekend has been exciting. I wonder if this blog post title will age well.
As of now the President of Venezuela, a man named Nicolas Maduro and his wife are in US custody. US Special Forces - actually the US Army Delta Force - went onto a military base in the national capital of Caracas and captured the first couple of Venezuela.
Also let's also state the official line from the Trump administration that President Maduro isn't considered the legitimate leader of this South American republican. The reasoning for his capture and the fact that he did stand in Federal court in New York is based on charges of "narcoterrorism"
We have 60 Minutes thanks to their new and recent editorial direction under Bari Weiss take on this issue. I will admit I've yet to see this segment so if you watch we'll be watching together. [VIDEO]
I had watched some of the President and the comments of this in his administration - including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Secretary of State, and the Secretary of Defense War. The President even evoked the Monroe Doctrine the whole idea of America hegemony over this hemisphere and the area of North & South America and keeping out the influence of other powers.
What has been discussed are the influences of Russia, China or even Iran. And Iran is especially is on notice and there has been protests there in recent weeks.
It's easy for me to compare this to invading Iraq, however, this was a short operation which took a matter of hours. Removed the head of state & gov't from power, physically from his nation. And now I see the President is saying the United States of America will run Venezuela until a transitional gov't is put into place.
I mentioned Iran having protests. There are Venezuelans who are celebrating Maduro's removal. They're celebrating here in America and there in Venezuela.
As evidenced by the previous administration opening up the border and seeing those migrants taking up shop here in Chicago during that time, it seems times weren't great in Venezuela. Many of these migrants were Venezuelan and sadly some of them were criminal. Something the current administration is attempting to clean up now.
We shall see how this develops. I would generally shy away from meddling in the affairs of other nations. Time will tell if this was the right move or even the right justification which may well including questions of Maduro's legitimacy as the Venezuela President.
The big news over the weekend. The ceasefire in Gaza Strip between the Israelis & Hamas. It looks like Trump will have his dream of turning that part of the world into a resort. And of course the hostages come home and no more bombing and terrorism.
You know the peace has been broken before so I'm in trust but verify mode. However, time will tell if this sticks. The President has shown a willingness to retaliate decisively if he must.
