Josh Slocum is back after almost 4 years of pushing back against this culture war. We talk about the madness becoming mainstream, cluster B psychology, the external locus of control, happiness in Canada, Alberta separation, media influence, reversal of reality, the climate thing, Trump and Carney and civil war.   In the second half we chat about American exceptionalism, the AWFUL's, these bitches, solutions, sex typical hard wire, sports, Tate on PBD, man hating, what they will say in the future, election fraud, hard realities, EU collapse, and cultural fatigue on this rise.   Mommy has been running the show, Dad hasn't come home for 60 years. Illuminating the abnormal psychology that's become the new normal.   We are in an abusive relationship with our government, our media, and increasingly, ourselves. Today's activists use the same tools as abusive families. They keep us in fear while we wonder if we've lost our minds. It's not a passing fashion and its not well-meaning misguided activism. It's abuse dynamics. Pathological narcissism, indiscriminate rage, and tactical emotional break-downs by bullies who claim that they are the victims. Domestic abuse has gone public, and feral.

Award-winning leftist editorial cartoonist and columnist Ted Rall joins The Jeff Dornik Show for a candid discussion about why political movements in America repeatedly ignite with passion and then collapse without lasting impact. Drawing from Rall's latest article, “Never Mind the Democrats. Get Organized,” Jeff approaches the conversation from the right, identifying the same patterns of distraction, emotional activism, and organizational failure that plague both parties and ideological camps. Together, they'll explore why protest culture replaces discipline, why rage substitutes for strategy, and how the absence of sustained grassroots organization ensures that neither side ever delivers meaningful, long-term change.SPONSORSupermassive Black Coffee is crafted from organic, gourmet beans fire-roasted in an antique Victorian-era roaster, delivering the rich, smooth, non-acidic taste that reminds you this is how coffee was always meant to be.

Dale Jackson interviews Alabama Public Library Service Board Chairman John Wahl.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In episode #1139 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards delivers his signature unfiltered take on current events, personal stories, and cultural commentary from Jackson, Mississippi. Kicking off with reflections on living in "interesting times," Clay dives into cancel culture, local issues, and the fight against systemic corruption.   He shares candid anecdotes from his morning commute, evolving driving habits, and life lessons on avoiding trouble. Drawing from a recent podcast featuring Andrew Tate and the fallout from a controversial nightclub incident involving Nick Fuentes and a Kanye West song, Clay warns young listeners about guilt by association and the dangers of hanging with the wrong crowd. He recounts his own past brushes with the law, including a transformative jail stint that shifted his perspective.   Weather warnings for impending freezing temperatures lead to practical advice on home prep. Clay shouts out Gen X, spars over generational divides, and critiques race relations, arguing Gen X bridged gaps only for some to sabotage progress.   Shifting to politics, he praises a new Mississippi Senate bill (SB 2329, the Mississippi Glacier Act) aimed at boosting ICE enforcement and reimbursing local agencies. Clay fact-checks Don Lemon's street interview on immigration and misdemeanors, calling out inconsistencies. He discusses school choice, sharing a listener's heartfelt story about a niece in a struggling rural school, while maintaining his stance against public-to-public transfers.   Breaking news includes President Trump's Davos remarks on 2020 election rigging and impending prosecutions. Clay plays a clip from Kid Rock on low birth rates, tying it to cultural divides. The episode wraps with thoughts on potential civil unrest in Minneapolis and the complexities of modern divisions.   Tune in for raw, no-holds-barred talk radio that challenges the status quo.

TRUMP AND FARAGE: Are They Talking Common Sense — or Madmen? #Trump #Farage #Davos #WEF #GlobalElite #MassMigration #SecureBorders #DEI #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #LIVE Donald Trump walked straight into World Economic Forum in Davos and delivered a blistering message the global elite didn't want to hear. From green energy dogma to Greenland, Denmark, and world security, Trump made it clear: this wasn't a speech for the room — it was a message for the public. Just like Nigel Farage, Trump was speaking over the heads of the political and media class and directly to millions across the Western world who feel their countries are becoming unrecognisable. People who are fed up with uncontrolled migration. People exhausted by imposed woke DEI ideology. People who want secure borders, national sovereignty, and the right to be proud of their country without being lectured or labelled. The real divide today is no longer left vs right — it's the public versus a detached global elite and their allies in the mainstream media, who simply cannot cope with a world changing outside their control. And while all this was happening, one question remains unanswered: Where exactly was Keir Starmer? Never here Keir was HERE!

The culture war isn't theoretical anymore—it's shaping our laws, our churches, and our future in real time. In this episode of 1819 News: The Podcast, Bryan Dawson takes a hard look at why the culture war is the real battleground shaping America's future. From Minneapolis and anarcho-tyranny to media control, education, and the collapse of the Christian ethos, Bryan explains why politics is downstream from culture—and why Christians can no longer pretend faith and politics are separate. We explore how decentralized media is reshaping public life, why neutrality is a myth, and what history—from King Alfred to modern America—teaches us about restoring order in times of chaos. If you've felt like the world is spiraling and no one is naming the real problem, this episode is for you.

TRUMP vs STARMER – WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON?  #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #LIVE #TrumpVsStarmer #SpecialRelationship #UKPolitics #USPolitics #Trump #Starmer #ChinaEmbassy #ChagosIslands  Tonight we ask a blunt question: has the US–UK "special relationship" finally broken down? Tensions are rising between Donald Trump and Keir Starmer: Trump has slammed the Chagos Islands deal as an act of "great stupidity" Starmer has approved plans for a major Chinese embassy in central London  Starmer has opposed Trump's ambitions regarding Greenland And now, Starmer is skipping World Economic Forum—missing a chance for direct talks Is Britain drifting away from the US? Is Starmer gambling with national security? Or is Trump overreaching?

In this episode of the MuslimMatters Podcast, Zainab bint Younus speaks to Imam Dawud Walid about the political and cultural pendulum swinging to the right after the leftist allyship of the 2010s. She asks him about his book "Towards Sacred Activism" and what priorities Muslims need to keep in mind before choosing to engage with or seek allyship with political and cultural groups in the West. Are Muslims meant to be right-wing or left-wing? Tune into this episode for a deep dive into this contentious discussion.

In this episode of Uncommon Sense, I'm calling out a problem no one wants to confront: the normalization of partying, drinking, and casual sex especially among so-called “conservative influencers.”You cannot claim to defend Western Civilization while publicly celebrating the very behaviors that destroyed past civilizations. Conservatism without morality is just aesthetic rebellion.We don't need more clout, cocktails, or compromised values. We need a return to godliness, self-discipline, and moral responsibility because the future generations watching us will inherit whatever standard we tolerate today.If we want to save the West, we have to get serious about being truly Christian again.--https://www.bible.com/

Minneapolis descends into chaos as shocking footage shows violent anti-ICE protests spiraling out of control — including mobs storming a church service and terrifying children hiding from protesters.Don Lemon inserts himself into the chaos, kisses a protest organizer, clashes with bystanders, and later admits the goal is to make people “uncomfortable,” triggering massive backlash online. Meanwhile, investigations into Minnesota leadership heat up as questions swirl around Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey.PLUS:Scott Jennings unloads on CNN hypocrisyEric Swalwell faces growing scrutinyViral Miami influencer scandals explodeDaily Wire roasts Candace OwensBen Shapiro delivers a powerful messageMedia insiders warn about Democrats' next power grabSUPPORT OUR SPONSORS TO SUPPORT OUR SHOW!Refresh your wardrobe with Quince — head to https://quince.com/chicksfree for free shipping and 365-day returns.Start protecting your bones now with HealthyCell's NEW Bone Strength—visit https://Healthycell.com/CHICKS, use code CHICKS20 for 20% off!Lock down protection on both your new gadgets and your old faithful devices with 60% off Webroot at https://Webroot.com/ChicksSubscribe and stay tuned for new episodes every weekday!Follow us here for more daily clips, updates, and commentary:YoutubeFacebookInstagramTikTokXLocalsMore InfoWebsite

STARMER OUT OF HIS DEPTH – GREENLAND COULD FINISH HIM #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #KeirStarmer #StarmerOutOfHisDepth #Trump #Greenland #UKPolitics #SmallBoats #BorderCrisis Donald Trump is playing hardball — and Keir Starmer has no answers. Starmer's address to the UK today was a rambling word salad. Weak. Evasive. Pointless. It won't stop Trump. It won't protect Britain. And it won't fool the public. Now the numbers confirm it:

Special guest Nathan Halberstadt joins Tate and Connor to break down why runaway housing prices have pushed so many Zoomers into despair. disengagement, and blackpilling. From impossible homeownership and stagnant wages to the feeling that the system is rigged, they explain how the housing crisis is reshaping an entire generation's outlook on work, family, and the future. They also dig into how immigration policy, population pressure, and rapid cultural change intersect with housing scarcity, and why many young people feel they're being asked to accept permanent decline. The conversation zooms out to the broader sense of cultural decay, lost social trust, and why optimism is collapsing among the young, and what is driving the renewed interest in Christianity among Gen Z.

Owers traces our contemporary culture war back to the end of the seventeenth century, when the conflict between Whigs and Tories was the central drama of English politics. One side was isolationist, opposed to immigration, and preferred a small state. The other was open to the rest of the world, and had ambitious plans for tax rises and state expansion. The two sides differed on the role of religion in public life, and on which ideas and symbols ought to be considered sacred. Does any of this sound familiar? Owers argues that we are still seeing this drama play out, not just in England but across the Anglosphere. Our political conflicts are still theological conflicts, and they are surpassingly important. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Are All MPs Self-Serving Pigs With Their Snouts in the Trough? #UKPolitics #Westminster #MPs #PoliticalCorruption #ExpensesScandal #BBCBias #PoliticalEstablishment #Starmer #Jenrick #JonGaunt #LiveShow #JonGaunt TV #YouTubeLive Are all MPs self-serving pigs with their snouts in the trough? After 30 years in radio and TV, watching politicians off-camera in green rooms, I've had enough of the act. On screen they shout, sneer and pretend to hate each other. Off screen they laugh, joke, slap backs and sneer at how stupid they think voters are. Today I'm saying what millions suspect but the media won't admit: Westminster isn't about public service — it's about careerism, ego and performance. Is politics just showbiz for ugly people? Does Westminster corrupt decent people — or does it only attract the wrong ones in the first place? From expenses scandals to fake party rivalries, from cosy BBC panels to MPs who've never done a real job, this is the reality they don't want discussed. No script. No filters. No apologies. You decide — I'll tell you what I've seen. Say what you really think. #UKPolitics #Westminster #MPs #PoliticalCorruption #ExpensesScandal #BBCBias #PoliticalEstablishment #Starmer #Jenrick #JonGaunt #LiveShow #JonGaunt TV #YouTubeLive UK politics, Westminster, MPs, political corruption, expenses scandal, BBC bias, political establishment, public service, British politics, Jon Gaunt, live show, YouTube live, politics exposed, green room truth, voters, Jon Gaunt TV, This is political blogging and hard-hitting social commentary from Triple Sony Gold Award-winning talk radio legend, Jon Gaunt — former host on BBC, Talk Radio, and Sky News.

Across the Pond is BACK! Tate and Connor return for 2026 to break down the latest high-profile defections to Reform UK, what it signals about the collapse of Britain's political center, and why Rupert Lowe current moves are completely reshaping the Right. They also dig into Keir Starmer's ongoing implosion, the leadership vacuum in Labour, and the growing sense that the UK establishment has lost control. Across the Atlantic, they react to the chaos unfolding in Minneapolis, examining how media and political elites are scrambling to assign blame, including the bizarre rush to scapegoat "Karens", while avoiding serious discussion of immigration policy, enforcement, and public safety BUY CAST BREW COFFEE TO SUPPORT THE SHOW - https://castbrew.com/ Become A Member And Protect Our Work at http://www.timcast.com Hosts: Tate Brown @realTateBrown (everywhere) Connor Tomlinson  @Con_Tomlinson  (everywhere) Subscribe to Tomlinson Talks on Substack for more analysis: https://connortomlinson.substack.com/ Follow me on X: https://x.com/Con_Tomlinson Listen to Tomlinson Talks on podcast platforms: Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/2lVAFqUZQQTQW8XiNhODP0 Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/tomlinson-talks/id1811957060 Amazon Music / Audible - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/be9537ec-b746-4a5c-9d79-40f8d0a87f19

LIVE: ROBERT JENRICK JOINS NIGEL FARAGE?! HERO OR TRAITOR?  #RobertJenrick #NigelFarage #ReformUK #UKPoliticsLive #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #Live #KemiBaddenoch  

With lawmakers still mired over renewing enhanced tax credits for Affordable Care Act plans, much of Washington has turned its attention to culture war issues, including abortion and gender-affirming care. Meanwhile, “confusion” remains the watchword at the Department of Health and Human Services as personnel and funding decisions continue to be made and unmade with little notice. Alice Miranda Ollstein of Politico, Anna Edney of Bloomberg News, and Joanne Kenen of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Politico Magazine join KFF Health News' Julie Rovner to discuss those stories and more. Also this week, Rovner interviews KFF Health News' Elisabeth Rosenthal, who created the “Bill of the Month” series and wrote the latest installment, about a very hot pepper and a very late ER bill. Plus, for “extra credit” the panelists suggest health policy stories they read this week that they think you should read, too: Julie Rovner: The New York Times' “E.P.A. to Stop Considering Lives Saved When Setting Rules on Air Pollution,” by Maxine Joselow.  Alice Miranda Ollstein: ProPublica's “After Sowing Distrust in Fluoridated Water, Kennedy and Skeptics Turn to Obstructing Other Fluoride Sources,” by Anna Clark.  Joanne Kenen: The New Yorker's “What ‘The Pitt' Taught Me About Being a Doctor,” by Dhruv Khullar.  Anna Edney: MedPage Today's “Worried About Liability After CDC Vaccine Changes? You Shouldn't Be,” by Joedy McCreary.  

Is America descending from a culture war to a civil war?! Jillian Michaels sits with political journalist and firebrand Brad Palumbo to expose how the unthinkable is being normalized.  How political violence is openly celebrated, how extremist rhetoric is laundered through mainstream media and publicly elected politicians, and how figures with massive platforms are dragging the country toward something far darker than disagreement. We examine moments that should have ended careers—Jennifer Welch celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk—and instead became stepping stones to legitimacy. We dissect how Tucker Carlson reduced U.S. foreign policy to a conspiratorial narrative involving gay marriage and Jewish influence, how Candace Owens and Nick Fuentes stoke dangerous conspiracy theories bringing them from the most toxic corners of the internet the masses.  What follows is already visible: citizens encouraged to view federal law enforcement as tyrants, treated not as civil servants but as Hitler's secret police. Neighbors are rebranded as enemies.  The scapegoating of minorities etc.  When violence is reframed as resistance, when institutions lose all legitimacy, history tells us exactly where this leads. This episode confronts the question no one wants to ask out loud:Are we sleepwalking toward civil war? Because when truth collapses, moral lines dissolve, and extremism is rewarded instead of confronted, the next phase isn't debate.It's conflict. Topics include: political radicalization, normalization of violence, conspiracy laundering, media corruption, delegitimization of institutions, tribalism, algorithmic extremism, and the growing risk of civil unrest in America. 

In this explosive episode, Tara walks listeners straight into the courtroom—and straight into the ideology driving today's most controversial cultural battles. ⚖️ An ACLU lawyer argues that a biological boy should compete on a women's sports team… while simultaneously claiming the court cannot define what a woman is. The result? A legal meltdown that exposes something far bigger than sports: a Marxist oppressor–oppressed class system being embedded into American law. From women's athletics and locker rooms, to ICE agents being attacked with impunity, to NGOs controlling $14.2 TRILLION in assets, Tara connects the dots between culture, power, money, and enforcement—and explains why none of this is accidental.

UK is Run by CLOWNS!  #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #Live #KeirStarmer #CraigGuildford #UKPolitics #BrokenBritain #ClownGovernment #CommonSense #EstablishmentFailure #TwoTierJustice #ImmigrationCrisis  Britain is in chaos — and no one in charge seems to know what they're doing anymore. We've got a government led by Keir Starmer that's already performed 14 U-turns. Fourteen. Even his own party don't know what they stand for now, other than heading for an electoral wipe-out.  Whatever happened to common sense?  Today, the Chief Constable of West Midlands Police has been sacked — yet the truth is there are still far too many clowns running our public institutions. Just look around you. The water industry is a mess. Trains don't work. Gas and electricity bills are out of control. Nothing functions as it should. Then there's the prisons crisis, two-tier justice, and talk of scrapping trial by jury. Immigration — legal and illegal — is clearly out of control and the public have had enough of being ignored.  The establishment has failed. Completely. So the real question is this: how do we take our country back and put it right?

Trump issues new warnings over Iran as U.S. citizens are ordered to leave the country, while reports suggest internal debate over possible military action. Karoline Leavitt responds to Iran's message to Trump, and executions in Iran are reportedly set to begin within days.Back at home, Minnesota sues the federal government over immigration enforcement, Mayor Frey claims chaos “doesn't happen in red states,” and AG Keith Ellison announces a lawsuit that former federal prosecutors say won't go anywhere.The show also breaks down AOC's evolving political image and 2028 speculation, viral man-on-the-street interviews, Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens turning on Christian pastors, Elon Musk seeking full custody, and the Washington Post facing backlash over a controversial story.SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS TO SUPPORT OUR SHOW!Give your pup their new year glow-up with Ruff Greens—get a FREE Jump Start Trial Bag (just cover shipping) at https://RuffChicks.com with promo code CHICKS.Stand up for women and girls with XX-XY Athletics.

On the radio show this week we dive into the importance of coming together ahead of the midterms, drawing parallels to historical examples of resistance and resilience. We hear about the devastating impact of Republican cuts on health care, and a hopeful moment in the ongoing fight to lower costs. We also cover inclusive education and embracing the fullness of humanity in the classroom, and why we need to protect the education programs that make this happen. Finally, we discuss how the far-right is launching a culture war against child care that led the Trump Administration to freeze funding to blue states.    Nadine Smith, Color of Change & Equality Florida, @ColorOfChange, @EqualityFL; Felicia Burnett & Lauren Hipp, MomsRising / MamásConPoder, @MomsRising, @MamasConPoder, @momsrising.org, @mamasconpoder.org; Dr. Kim Pinckney, KP Solutions & Consulting LLC.   

IS STARMER TRYING TO TURN UK INTO NORTH KOREA?  #KeirStarmer #UKPolitics #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #FreeSpeech #DigitalID #TwoTierPolicing #BBCBias #CivilLiberties #StateOverreach #UKDemocracy #LiveDebate #OFCOM  Today's show is driven by today's news. On the same day this stream goes live, Keir Starmer has asked Ofcom to investigate X over responses generated by its AI system Grok.  A sitting Prime Minister encouraging a state regulator to step in over images produced by an AI should alarm anyone who believes in free expression. This is not a literal comparison. The reference to North Korea is political hyperbole — a long-established way of warning about authoritarian direction, not dictatorship. Tonight's live show asks a simple but serious question: when governments start leaning on regulators to police speech they dislike, where does that road lead?  WHAT WE'RE COVERING  This broadcast examines a wider pattern — not one decision in isolation. Topics include: Digital ID and the expansion of state oversight  Free speech, censorship, and government pressure on platforms Two-tier policing of protests and public disorder The Southport riots and the Lucy Connolly case Selective enforcement of the law and narrative protection BBC bias and the absence of real accountability (BBC) Birmingham policing controversies and institutional double standards Cultural inconsistency and political taboos The collapse of the Red Wall and voter alienation Tolerance of the intolerant — and intolerance of dissent Weak or delayed action on Iran Disregard for Parliament and democratic scrutiny Media-friendly videos versus genuine accountability The Laura Kuenssberg interview and soft questioning Early prisoner releases and justice priorities Government acting as parent — from breakfast clubs to behaviour control Immigration narratives and the Dover crossings "bogeyman" Moves toward rejoining the European Union without a clear mandate Demonisation of opposition voters Constant attacks on Nigel Farage and Reform UK as "racist" instead of being debated Grandstanding on the world stage while trust collapses at home Leadership surrounded by compliance rather than challenge Manifesto contradictions and broken promises Growing concern over elections, democratic norms, and consent WHY THIS MATTERS This is not Left vs Right. It is power vs accountability. If asking questions is treated as extremism, if speech is managed by regulators, if policing and justice depend on who you are or what you believe, then the issue isn't the language used to criticise it — it's the direction the country is being taken.

In today's episode of The Jeff Dornik Show, Jeff exposes how those in power manipulate nearly every debate into a false two-team choice, even when truth often lives in the tension between both or in a third option entirely. From election versus free will to Zionism versus Replacement Theology, Jeff explains how ignoring the truths of the so-called other side leads to distorted theology, shallow thinking, and broken conclusions.Follow Jeff Dornik on Pickax - https://pickax.com/jeffdornikSPONSORSupermassive Black Coffee is crafted from organic, gourmet beans fire-roasted in an antique Victorian-era roaster, delivering the rich, smooth, non-acidic taste that reminds you this is how coffee was always meant to be.

STARMER VS MUSK – TODAY IT'S X, TOMORROW IT'S YOUR FREE SPEECH #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #FreeSpeech #Starmer #StarmerVsMusk #ElonMusk #Censorship #DonaldTrump #Trump #Iran #IranProtests #UKPolitics #IndependentMedia #CultureWar #YouTubeLive Keir Starmer wants to ban X — today it's social media, tomorrow it's your free speech. This is not about safety. It's about power, censorship, and silencing criticism. Not satisfied with cancelling elections, locking people up for "hurty words" and enforcing two-tier policing of political protest, Keir Starmer now wants to silence the internet itself by banning X. The excuse? Deep-fake nude images — which I utterly condemn. But let's stop pretending. This has nothing to do with protecting women and everything to do with protecting Starmer. This is about power. This is about control. This is about shutting you up. The idea that a government-appointed censor like OFCOM should police what adults say, think, read and watch online must be resisted. We don't even need OFCOM for broadcasting — we all have an off button. Don't like it? Don't watch it. What's next — banning football? Because every ground in the country now rings out with "Starmer is a wanker", doesn't it? Instead of censoring criticism, how about dealing with the real threats: Grooming gangs still waiting for a full public inquiry Rapists being allowed into the Met Police Birmingham officers falsifying evidence to blame Jews instead of Muslims BBC bias — including falsified edits of Trump speeches Without social media: The Iran protests would be invisible The grooming gang scandal would have died quietly Police corruption would never see daylight The truth? Starmer and the mainstream media hate Musk because their grip is slipping. This is a revolution — and they can't control it.  #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #Live #FreeSpeech #Starmer #StarmerVsMusk #ElonMusk #X #Censorship #UKPolitics #OFCOM #CancelCulture #TwoTierPolicing #BBCBias #GroomingGangs #PoliceCorruption #DonaldTrump #Trump #Iran #IranProtests #CultureWar #MediaLies #IndependentMedia #YouTubeLive Jon Gaunt, Jon Gaunt TV, live, free speech, Keir Starmer, Starmer vs Musk, Elon Musk, X, censorship, UK politics, OFCOM, cancel culture, two tier policing, BBC bias, grooming gangs, police corruption, Donald Trump, Trump, Iran, Iran protests, culture war, media lies, independent media, YouTube live This is political blogging and hard-hitting social commentary from Triple Sony Gold Award-winning talk radio legend, Jon Gaunt — former host on BBC, Talk Radio, and Sky News.

TRUMP or STARMER — whose side are you on?  #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #LIVE #Trump #Starmer #Leadership #Venezuela #OilTanker #Atlantic #ForeignPolicy #StrongLeadership #UKPolitics  A brutal new YouGov poll puts Keir Starmer's disapproval rating at around 70%. Let that sink in. Seven out of ten voters unhappy with the Prime Minister — and the numbers are getting worse, not better. So tonight we ask the question the Westminster bubble is desperate to avoid: Is Keir Starmer a dead man walking?  While Starmer sinks under public disapproval at home, Donald Trump dominates headlines abroad — taking decisive action on the world stage, from Venezuela to the Atlantic, showing the kind of hard-power leadership his supporters say Britain no longer has.  Two men. Two totally different styles of leadership.

STARMER MUST SACK TOP COP OVER ISLAMIST FOOTBALL LIES #JonGauntTV #LIVE #TwoTierPolicing #CraigRutherford #WestMidlandsPolice #Starmer #ShabanaMahmood #IslamistExtremism #Antisemitism #JewHate This is the scandal that blows apart the myth of "policing without fear or favour". In sworn evidence, West Midlands Chief Constable Craig Rutherford admitted that police intelligence was shaped to fit a decision already made — to ban Tel Aviv football fans from Villa Park. Why? Because the truth was inconvenient. It has now emerged that the real and serious threat came not from Israeli supporters, but from Islamist extremists in Birmingham, some allegedly armed and openly threatening violence against Jews attending the match. Let that sink in. Instead of confronting the real danger, police chiefs pointed the finger at the victims, dressed it up as "risk management" and expected nobody to notice. This is two-tier policing in black and white. Lie to justify a ban. Downplay Islamist threats. Sacrifice Jewish fans to avoid "community tensions". And now the spotlight turns to politics. Kemi Badenoch has called for Rutherford's sacking. So why hasn't Keir Starmer acted? Why is Shabana Mahmood, responsible for policing oversight, still sitting on her hands? If a Chief Constable can admit misleading evidence in open proceedings and keep his job, then the system is rotten from top to bottom. This show will call it exactly what it is: A disgrace. A cover-up. And a test of whether Britain still believes in equal justice under the law. No apologies. No censorship. No establishment protection racket. Sack the cop. Or admit two-tier policing is real. #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #LIVE #TwoTierPolicing #CraigRutherford #WestMidlandsPolice #Starmer #ShabanaMahmood #KemiBadenoch #AyoubKhan #IslamistExtremism #Antisemitism #JewHate #JewishSafety #PoliceScandal #VillaPark #BritainInCrisis #FreeSpeech Jon Gaunt, Jon Gaunt TV, LIVE, Two Tier Policing, Craig Rutherford, West Midlands Police, Keir Starmer, Shabana Mahmood, Kemi Badenoch, Ayoub Khan, Islamist Extremism, Antisemitism, Jew Hate, Jewish Safety, Police Scandal, Villa Park, Britain, Free Speech This is political blogging and hard-hitting social commentary from Triple Sony Gold Award-winning talk radio legend, Jon Gaunt — former host on BBC, Talk Radio, and Sky News.

Why Can't Britain Be More Like Hungary? | Starmer's Brexit Betrayal EXPOSED #Brexit #UKPolitics #Starmer #Hungary #ViktorOrban #FreeSpeech #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #LIVE Tonight, we ask a simple but urgent question: Why can't Britain protect its borders like Hungary does? While Keir Starmer cosies up to the EU and signals a clear desire to drag Britain back into their orbit, the UK's borders remain wide open — despite the clear democratic mandate of Brexit. Hungary proves it doesn't have to be this way. Under Viktor Orbán, Hungary has made its position crystal clear: ❌ No migrant camps ❌ No forced relocation ❌ No weakened borders ❌ No becoming a country of mass immigration As a result, there were fewer than 1,000 illegal entry attempts. What's even more striking? Hungary is still in the EU — and even in Schengen. Orbán has openly warned: "European democracy is in decline. Elections rerun, parties surveilled, candidates blocked, leaders punished for defending borders, free speech sanctioned. Hungary chooses competition over bans and sovereignty over centralised control. That's what democracy looks like. Come and see for yourself." So why won't Starmer listen? Instead of ignoring and betraying the British public, Starmer should take up Viktor Orbán's challenge — and follow Hungary's lead on borders, sovereignty, and democratic accountability.

New Year New Keir! Can STARMER survive until 2027? #KeirStarmer #NigelFarage #ReformUK #LabourParty #UKPolitics #GeneralElection2027 #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #Live Westminster insiders are whispering what voters are already shouting: Starmer won't last until 2027. Labour looks nervous, bland, and terrified of saying anything real, while Nigel Farage and Reform UK are charging straight through the middle and hoovering up angry voters Starmer can't reach. This is a man who's scared of Reform, scared of his own party, and scared of the public. And now he wants another relaunch? In this LIVE, no-holds-barred Jon Gaunt TV debate, we tear into: Starmer's desperate New Year reboot — leadership or last rites Why Farage is setting the agenda while Labour hides. How Reform UK is humiliating both main parties And whether Starmer is already a lame-duck leader
