Tune in here to this Thursday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about President Trump’s upcoming meeting with Vladimir Putin in Budapest and the broader implications for U.S. foreign policy. He reflects on the historical significance of the former Soviet bloc and praises leaders like Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, and Lech Wałęsa for their roles in dismantling the Iron Curtain. Brett expresses hope that Trump will remind Putin that the territory is no longer his. Later, Brett dives into a powerful monologue examining the ideological evolution of the Democratic Party, tracing its shift from a working-class coalition to a technocratic, elite-driven platform. He outlines how Bill Clinton’s embrace of globalism, Wall Street, and Beijing marked the start of a neoliberal era, later fueled by Silicon Valley’s cultural influence. Brett argues that the 2008 financial crisis catalyzed a progressive uprising—Occupy Wall Street, Bernie Sanders, and AOC—pushing the party further left.

Congratulations are not usually in order for someone who has been forced into hiding, someone whose children are scattered across continents for their safety, someone whose supporters are sitting in prison cells for the crime of believing in democracy.  But our guest today, María Corina Machado, just won the Nobel Peace Prize—joining the ranks of Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr., and the Dalai Lama, to name a few.  On Friday, the Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded their 2025 Peace Price to the Venezuelan opposition leader for her tireless work “promoting democratic rights,” describing her as “a woman who keeps the flame of democracy burning amid a growing darkness.” She is Venezuela's first-ever Nobel Peace Prize winner.  Machado's story, as Jonathan Jakubowicz wrote in The Free Press, “is a political thriller come to life. A 58-year old industrial engineer and former member of parliament, she spent two decades as the most relentless opponent of Hugo Chávez and his successor, Nicolás Maduro.” That thriller came to a head on July 28, 2024, when Edmundo González, Machado's stand-in candidate, swept Venezuela's elections with over 90 percent of the vote. But Maduro, Venezuela's longtime dictator, claimed victory anyway and seized power. Since then, Machado has been living in hiding, her location undisclosed even to most of her allies, as the regime has arrested hundreds of political prisoners and issued a warrant for her arrest.  Machado has been nicknamed Venezuela's “Iron Lady,” the same moniker given to Margaret Thatcher, who happens to be her personal hero. She represents what may be the most significant challenge to authoritarian socialism in Latin America, and we couldn't be more thrilled to have her here today. Learn more about your ad choices.

Half of working dads feel nervous asking for time off to care for their children, more than 20% have been asked ‘where's your wife/partner?' when requesting flexibility and 44% say employers treat mothers more favourably in terms of flexible working. These are the findings of a new study ‘Barriers to Equal Parenting' by the charity Working Families. Nuala McGovern is joined by Elliott Rae founder of Parenting Out Loud and Penny East, chief executive of the Fawcett Society.In 2012, Agnes Wanjiru, a 21-year-old Kenyan woman and mother, was found dead in a septic tank near a British army base in central Kenya. More than a decade later, no one has been charged with her killing. Last month, a Kenyan High Court issued an arrest warrant for a British national suspected of her murder. We hear from Agnes' niece, Esther who is here in London today meeting with the Ministry of Defence calling for answers and for someone to be held responsible. Today would have been Baroness Margaret Thatcher's 100th birthday. Britain's Prime Minister for almost 12 years, she was the first woman ever to hold that position. Adored and revered by many, grudgingly respected by others, reviled by some on the left & criticised by feminists for doing little for women, can her legacy be clearly defined? To discuss Nuala is joined by Baroness Gillian Shephard who served in the ‘Iron Lady's' first government and Sarah Childs, Professor of Gender and Politics at the University of Edinburgh.Over the weekend, we heard that the Oscar-winning actress Diane Keaton died at the age of 79. Bette Midler called her "brilliant, beautiful, extraordinary", Goldie Hawn said "You never liked praise, so humble, but now you can't tell me to ‘shut up' honey. There was, and will be, no one like you.” They were two of her co-stars in the huge 1996 film the First Wives Club.... but Diane Keaton made her name decades before in American film classics such as Annie Hall, The Godfather, Reds. Victoria Moss, freelance fashion and lifestyle journalist and Leila Latif, film critic, discuss her impact.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Kirsty Starkey

At 85, the venerable Jeffrey Archer has lived through enough crises to stay calm and carry on whatever the stormy political weather. The best-selling author—who has sold 275 million books and, as a Conservative MP and party chairman, served Margaret Thatcher for 11 years—speaks with the authority of someone who witnessed the Iron Lady's firm politics up close and personal. But Mrs Thatcher isn't the only British grande dame who Archer now mourns. His latest William Warwick thriller End Game, set against the backdrop of the 2012 London Olympics, is the story of a plot against Queen Elizabeth II, the beloved monarch who, in contrast with Mrs T, unified Britain. And then there's what Archer definitely calls his “final novel”—a World War II story to be published next year that he believes will be “bigger than Cain and Abel.” But he also weighs in on today's political chaos in Britain and America: Trump's absurd contradictions, the chilling specter of Farage and Robinson, Starmer's political problems, and why Maggie would have known exactly how to handle them all.1. Archer's Final Chapter At 85, Archer announces his next book will be his last. After 50 years and 275 million books sold, he's on the 17th draft of a WWII novel about September 15, 1941—a day when the war “could have ended” if Hitler hadn't changed his mind three times. He believes it's “bigger than Kane and Abel.”2. Thatcher Would Have Dominated Trump Archer, who served Thatcher for 11 years, believes she would have “handled Trump very well” and that “Trump would be in awe of her.” He compares it to her successful management of Reagan, Gorbachev, and Chirac—knowing exactly “what to do with each one.”3. Farage Could Be 30 Seats From Power Archer reveals he warned David Cameron a decade ago to neutralize Farage by making him a Lord. Cameron ignored the advice when Farage polled at 0%. Now Farage leads in polls and could be “only 30 seats short of forming a government”—despite having no one in his party with governing experience.4. Britain Has Peaked Archer sees 2012's Olympics as Britain's high-water mark. Since then: five Conservative leaders in six years, Starmer's rapid collapse, potential bankruptcy from an aging population, and a declining interest in the monarchy among young people. “Top people are not going into politics anymore.”5. AI Threatens the Next Generation of Writers While grateful his 50-year career predated artificial intelligence, Archer worries about the future. He's discussed with his children ensuring no AI-generated “Jeffrey Archer” books appear after his death, calling it “a cop-out.” The odds for aspiring writers have never been tougher: 1,000 manuscripts submitted weekly, only one published.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. #1265 The Charlie Kirk Assassination: Lies, Cameras, and Cover-Ups When conservative firebrand Charlie Kirk was assassinated on stage, the “official” story snapped into place almost instantly — a lone gunman, a clear motive, a case closed. But beneath the headlines, cracks are spreading fast. Why was security so lax at a known high-risk event? Why did Israeli outlets break the story before U.S. media? And why do key surveillance videos appear altered or missing? Investigative author Geoffrey Gilson — a former Thatcher speechwriter and expert on covert power — joins Richard Syrett to expose the threads connecting politics, intelligence, and the media in what may be America's most suspicious “open-and-shut” case. GUEST: Geoffrey Gilson is a British-born investigative author, attorney, and political strategist who once penned speeches for Margaret Thatcher. His explosive book Maggie's Hammer uncovered the shadowy intersections of Western intelligence, covert arms deals, and political money networks — linking figures from Epstein to Maxwell. Drawing on decades inside London and Washington power circles, Gilson brings a lawyer's precision and an insider's skepticism to the mysterious assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Sanae Takaichi is not just set to be the first female prime minister of Japan -- and someone whose childhood hero was the legendary Margaret Thatcher. She also launched her global claim to fame by saying she “wanted to abandon the idea of work-life balance” and planned to “have everyone work like a workhorse.” Well, this has generated some push back from people who are apparently happy with Japan's 0 percent real GDP growth for over 30 years. In today's episode, David analyzes why Takaichi is starting off as his favorite leader on the planet.

#KemiBadenoch #ToryConference #StampDuty #BritishPubs #NigelFarage #Jon Gaunt #MargaretThatcher #GaryNeville  Kemi Badenoch has exploded onto the national stage with a powerhouse conference speech that's shaking up British politics.  Her promise to scrap Stamp Duty and defend our Great British pubs has people calling her the new Iron Lady — the next Margaret Thatcher.  Meanwhile, Gary Neville is under fire for his attacks on the National Anthem and our flag, with fans demanding that Sky TV sack him.  Tonight, Jon Gaunt is LIVE at 6.30 — fiery, unfiltered, and unapologetic — as Britain debates whether Kemi Badenoch is the future of Conservatism and whether Gary Neville has finally gone too far.  Kemi Badenoch's knockout conference speech has lit up British politics! Her promise to scrap Stamp Duty will be cheered in every home — and her defence of our great British pubs has the nation raising a glass.  Finally, a Tory with backbone and belief! Could this be the rebirth of real Conservatism — and is Kemi the new Iron Lady, the next Margaret Thatcher?  Meanwhile, Gary Neville — once an England hero — has turned into a national embarrassment. From refusing to sing the anthem to sneering at our flag, he's insulted the very fans who made him rich.  Sky TV must act — viewers are cancelling in disgust. Neville's morphing into another Gary Lineker with a chip on his shoulder and sixth-form politics in his head.  Join the debate LIVE — Kemi's rise, Neville's fall, and why Britain's fighting spirit is back!

Britain's Cold War story is bigger than you ever knew.In this explosive episode of History Rage, host Paul Bavill sits down with historian and author Fraser McCallum to uncover the often-overlooked story of Cold War Britain. Too often reduced to a superpower showdown between the United States and the Soviet Union, the Cold War was a global conflict — and Britain was absolutely central to it.Fraser, author of Cold War Britain: 50 Years in the Shadow of the Bomb, reveals how the Cold War reshaped the UK — from British intelligence and its notorious spy scandals to the rise of protest movements like CND and the Greenham Common protests. He shows how Britain's nuclear ambitions, NATO involvement, and cultural life all intertwined with a conflict that defined half a century.You'll discover:Why Britain's role in the Cold War was far greater than most people realiseHow the UK was vital to the creation of NATO and the success of the Berlin AirliftThe devastating truth behind British nuclear weapons testing and its human costHow British intelligence in the Cold War was rocked by class privilege and spy scandals such as the Cambridge FiveThe way Cold War protests like Aldermaston and Greenham Common shaped politics and public debateHow the Cold War left its mark on British culture, television, music, and everyday lifeWhy the Cold War's legacy still influences British politics and society todayFrom the NHS scaling back services to fund the bomb to Margaret Thatcher turning “Iron Lady” into her personal brand, this episode reveals the Cold War as a British story — one of espionage, nuclear strategy, protest, and pop culture.If you've ever thought of the Cold War as a distant standoff between Washington and Moscow, Fraser McCallum will change your mind. The story of Cold War Britain is one of courage, compromise, scandal, and survival — and it still shapes our world today.

PREVIEW: Historic Election of Takaichi Sanae as LDP Leader and Presumed Next Prime Minister of JapanGuest: Scott Harold John Batchelor's conversation with Scott Harold focuses on the newly elected head of the LDP (Liberal Democratic Party) in Japan, Takaichi Sanae, who is presumed to be the next prime minister. Ms. Takaichi's political background is that of a conservative LDP member and an acolyte of the late Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzo. Her victory was attributed to two main factors. First, she was the most conservative candidate at a time when the LDP was worried about losing conservative votes to another party that sought to emulate parts of the MAGA ideology. The party viewed her as the best candidate to retrieve those votes. Second, while her competitor was the younger, more liberal son of a former prime minister, LDP voters and legislative members were ultimately "more comfortable voting for an older conservative woman." Additionally, a major scandal involving derogatory remarks posted by her competitor's supporters helped drive down his support late in the race. This is a historic election as Ms. Takaichi will be the first female Japanese prime minister. She has described herself as an emulator of Margaret Thatcher and emphasizes boosting the Japanese economy with substantial spending, including on defense, to enhance the US-Japan alliance.

Today, we remember and celebrate the extraordinary life of Jilly Cooper, who has sadly passed away at the age of 88. A literary icon, Jilly captured hearts and imaginations with her wit, warmth, and unmistakable voice. Her novels, especially beloved titles like Riders and Rivals, sold over 11 million copies in the UK alone and most recently inspired the hit Disney+ adaptation that introduced her work to a whole new generation. I had the immense privilege of speaking with Jilly just last October. She was everything I'd hoped she would be - funny, sharp, generous and inspiring. Today, in tribute to her legacy and the joy she brought to so many, I'm honoured to share the conversation with you again. ___________________________________________________________________ Dame Jilly Cooper. What a legend. For the uninitiated (where have you been?) she's a journalist and author most famous for her bestselling Rutshire Chronicle series which includes Riders, Polo and Rivals - the latter of which has now made into a hugely popular TV series starring David Tennant, Danny Dyer and Katherine Parkinson. In the past, Dame Jilly's books have been unfairly dismissed as mere ‘bonkbusters', charting the sex lives of the upper classes. But, as I discover, there's much more to both her writing - and to her. We talk about her failures with technology, why she wishes she could throw more things away, as well as the terrifying time she lost an entire manuscript on the number 28 bus and had to rewrite it. Plus her experiences of interviewing Margaret Thatcher, her friendship with the Queen, her obsession with beautiful people and ‘macho men' - and why she'd wholeheartedly recommend adoption to others. Thank you Dame Jilly. A total sport (but we knew that). ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Remembering Dame Gili Cooper 03:43 Personal Reflections and Literary Success 07:37 Exploring Themes of Masculinity and Beauty 10:15 Family, Loss, and Resilience 11:28 Failures and Fertility Challenges 21:18 Dieting and Body Image 25:12 Interviewing Margaret Thatcher 26:46 Technical Challenges and Writing Process 30:27 Friendship and Social Media

Pat Leahy and Jack Horgan-Jones join Hugh Linehan to talk about the week in politics: We already know next Tuesday's budget is going to be a much less generous affair than recent years. Jack and Pat share what they know about the tough stance being taken by Ministers Paschal Donohoe and Jack Chambers in negotiations, including one Government source's characterisation of Chambers as akin to Margaret Thatcher: “no, no, no”. Of the three presidential hopefuls, Catherine Connolly has run the strongest campaign so far. But could the news that she employed a woman convicted of firearms offences hinder her in gathering the votes she needs?Fianna Fáil candidate Jim Gavin's campaign also made some missteps this week, hampering the novice politician's campaign as it finds its feet. Security issues are at the top of the European agenda thanks to the ongoing war in Ukraine and the fear of Russian cyberattacks and drone incursions. Finally the panelists pick their favourite Irish Times journalism of the week including Senator Michael McDowell's explanation for why he didn't nominate Maria Steen, the passing of Martin Mansergh and a relatable personal problem.

In this week's episode we consider the Labour Party conference and what it all meant. We reflect on the odd goings on, like Labour Home Secretery Shabana Mahmood saying her political hero is Margaret Thatcher and we tackle Kier Starmer's conference speach. With Labour and Reform facing off on migration policy and plans for so called Brit Card compulsory ID Cards we look at what is motivating these policies and whether this is the type of country that you'd want to live in.We also ponder some interesting history that saw the archives of Scotland sink in a boat in the 17th century off the Northumbrian coast with no report very little knowledge or understanding of this event in Scottish consciousness.LinksEstonia The Baltic Tiger - YouTubeA Bleather O'Books  - TicketsSunday, November 2 · 10:30 - 11:30am (Doors at 10:15am)Robertson Room, Robert Burns Birthplace MuseumMurdoch's Lone Alloway KA7 4PQHow Cromwell and Edward I robbed Scotland of centuries of its historyhttps://www.thenational.scot/news/17300143.cromwell-edward-robbed-scotland-centuries-history/Lost to the Waveshttps://blog.historicenvironment.scot/2020/08/stormy-past/ ★ Support this podcast ★

With party conference season underway and Andy Burnham circling with a bolder agenda, former special adviser Callum Price asks the hard questions: Why is Labour so wary of defining its purpose? Why does Starmer still seem like a fox pretending to be a hedgehog — chasing contradictory goals without a guiding principle? And what happens when a party with power has no story to tell?Drawing on lessons from Isaiah Berlin and even Margaret Thatcher's ideological clarity, this edition explores what happens when governments try to govern without vision — and why the vacuum is already being filled.Stay informed with CapX's unmissable daily briefings from the heart of Westminster.

Listen to today's podcast... When you think of stress and food, you are often told to stay away from treats, like ice cream cones. Ice cream: My favourite food. Creamy. Cold. Sweet. Hard or Soft…doesn't matter. I love ice cream. It can be high in fat and it contains a lot of sugar. And it's not the kind of snack food that I should have everyday…though wouldn't that be absolutely wonderful? An ice cream cone has some definite pros. Ice cream may help in maintaining weight. How interesting is that?  Ice cream for weight control.  Research from the American Society of Experimental Biology found that a diet that included dairy prevented about 50 percent of weight regain and 80 percent of fat regain after the animals had lost weight and were allowed to eat at will.  Now this research was done with animals, but if it works there it may work on humans….I would at least like to be a part of the experimental group…test group…not the control group. Ice cream may help me to keep my girlish figure. The North American Association for the Study of Obesity found in a study of 800 men and women that those who ate the most calcium were also the leanest. Research from Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Woman's University in Houston reported an association between the consumption of low-fat milk and dairy products and a lower waist-to-hip ratio. Ice cream may keep me from shrinking. Calcium is essential in preventing osteoporosis.  One reasonable (insert small) serving of ice cream can give you 10% of your daily calcium intake.  Did you know that: Ice cream is not a new treat…people have been creating frozen delicacies since 400 BC Britain's Margaret Thatcher was part of a research team that helped to develop soft ice cream The average American eats 18.3 litres of ice cream each year while Canadians eat 8.7 litres.  Japan has the lowest consumption with .01 litres per year. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!      Here are my tips For Building Resilience By Celebrating National Ice Cream Cone Day: Ice cream can be a healthy treat.  But it is a treat.  I have nothing else…just go out and celebrate. Now which kind to choose…DQ, Kawartha Dairy, soft, hard, dipped, sauced, fruit, chocolate….. #mentalhealth #hr

The former Labour leader gives his views on patriotism, Keir Starmer, the upcoming Budget, inequality, child poverty, raising taxes, the left behind, the future of British manufacturing, charisma in politics, the survival of the Tory Party, Nigel Farage, populism, Donald Trump, proportional representation, the legacy of Thatcherism, and what it was like facing Margaret Thatcher at the despatch box. In an emotional moment towards the end, Kinnock weeps as he remembers his late wife, Glenys, Baroness Kinnock of Holyhead.  (Note in reference to mention of Nigel Farage's plans for mass deportations, there was uncertainty about exactly which people illegally in Britain the Reform leader was referring to, and he made clear he didn't want a repeat of the Windrush scandal).

First: a look ahead to President Trump's state visit next weekTransatlantic tensions are growing as the row over Peter Mandelson's role provides an ominous overture to Donald Trump's state visit next week. Political editor Tim Shipman has the inside scoop on how No. 10 is preparing. Keir Starmer's aides are braced for turbulence. ‘The one thing about Trump which is entirely predictable is his unpredictability,' one ventures. And government figures fear he may go off message on broadcast – he is scheduled to be interviewed by GB News.It is rare for leaders to receive a second visit, especially those in their second term. But, as Tim says, ‘Britishness is fashionable in Washington' and no-one likes ‘royal treatment' more than Trump. So, can Starmer take advantage of the President's ‘love of the deal'? Tim joins the podcast to discuss.Next: why are historical figures being labelled neurodiverse?A new biography of Margaret Thatcher has provoked much discussion by claiming that Britain's former Prime Minister was autistic. The proof for such a claim rests on the Iron Lady's (supposed) lack of a sense of humour, a lack of feeling embarrassed and a tendency to see the world in black and white. But is there a danger in reappraising historical and political figures, particularly when it comes to personal traits? Historians – and frequent Spectator contributors – Robert Tombs and John Keiger joined the podcast to give their verdict.And finally: is everyone on Ozempic?One of the Spectator's writers, under the pseudonym Henrietta Harding, headed out on what she terms ‘Ozempic safari' – spotting the ‘Mounjaro Mummies' as they drop off their children at school. ‘We know what to look for', she says, ‘sunken faces, slightly wasted arms and, of course, envy-inducing weight loss'.But the school gates aren't the only place Ozempic seems to have taken hold. Westminster is awash with politicians who have suspiciously slimmer fitting suits – but why? Associate editor Toby Young and deputy political editor James Heale join the podcast to make sense of the trend for trim.Plus: As President Xi re-emerges, Francis Pike asks who's really in charge in China?Hosted by William Moore and Lara Prendergast.Produced by Patrick Gibbons and Oscar Edmondson.

Geoff Gilson is a retired lawyer, development consultant, and political strategist and speechwriter. He began his career crafting speeches for Margaret Thatcher and leveraged his dual British-US citizenship to navigate elite political circles. With decades of front-row access to senior UK and US officials, Gilson served as a key operative for the British Conservative Party, gaining unparalleled insight into global power structures. His book, Maggie's Hammer, is a meticulously researched and gripping exposé that unravels a complex web of money laundering, arms deals, and political collusion, that leads all the way to connections between Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein, Margaret Thatcher, and Vladimir Putin. Gilson's 30-year investigation traces covert operations from the Iran-Iraq War to Russian financial schemes, revealing covert ties to Robert Maxwell, Israeli Intelligence, and the Russian Mob.  On one side, MAGA loyalists are laser-focused on the Russia “hoax,” demanding accountability from Hillary Clinton, James Comey, John Brennan, and others they believe orchestrated a coordinated effort to kneecap Trump's presidency. On the other side, the mainstream media and Trump's fiercest opponents are pouring energy into the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, a labyrinth of abuse and influence implicating elites across finance, politics, and culture. At first glance, these two narratives look like the personification of a political cage match, each side weaponizing its own “third rail” issue for political advantage. But Gilson argues they're not separate stories at all. They are two faces of the same beast. Behind the headlines, he sees overlapping power structures—shared interests among intelligence agencies, global financiers, and political dynasties—that profit from distraction, division, and the erosion of public trust. Both scandals, he says, reveal a deeper bipartisan rot that neither party wants fully exposed.   Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please subscribe)

"Liberalism," divorced from its particular connotations in this or that modern political context, refers broadly to a philosophy of individual rights, liberties, and responsibilities, coupled with respect for institutions and rule of law over personalized power. As Cass Sunstein construes the term, liberalism encompasses a broad tent, from Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher to Martin Luther King and Franklin Roosevelt. But liberalism is being challenged both from the right and from the left, by those who think that individual liberties can go too far. We talk about the philosophical case for liberalism as well as the challenges to it in modern politics, as discussed in his new book On Liberalism: In Defense of Freedom.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2025/09/01/327-cass-sunstein-on-liberalism/Support Mindscape on Patreon.Cass Sunstein received a J.D. from Harvard Law School, and worked as a clerk for Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. He is currently Robert Walmsley University Professor at Harvard. He served in several government roles during the Obama administration.
