| This is the final scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies. | ||
| Because we're going to medieval on these people. | ||
| Here's not got a free shot on all these networks lying about the people. | ||
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||
| MAGA Media. | ||
| I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||
| Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | ||
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||

Waru, here's your host, Stephen K. Battle. | |
| It's Saturday, 26th July, year of our Lord 2025. | ||
| President Trump on a working vacation or working trip, I guess, to not a state visit, to Scotland at Turnbury today. | ||
| We're going to have Josh Pettit on in a while, a golf course architect that's going to join us, talk about President Trump's courses and why they're so important to him and why they're a little tad controversial a little later in the show. | ||
| Also on the birch gold, go to birchgold.com slash band into the dollar and part. | ||
| First of all, you get access to Philip Patrick and the team. | ||
| You get access to all the content we put out. | ||
| It's all totally free. | ||
| Here's the reason. | ||
| We never tell you to buy gold. | ||
| We never do that. | ||
| What we want to do and what we've done over the last four years is to teach you about currency, capital markets, and why gold has been a hedge. | ||
| You've got to make that decision. | ||
| But you just saw there with Judy Shelton. | ||
| And what I'm so proud of this show is that in a working class and middle class audience, in a populist national show, you have a more sophisticated understanding than so many people out there in the business community. | ||
| You know, the University of Arkansas, we're going to get the professor on here. | ||
| He took the end of the dollar empire, the six or seven installments we had, and he said, this is as good as anything that's taught in advanced college undergraduate courses in finance. | ||
| And he says it's very accessible. | ||
| You guys have just devoured that over the last couple of years. | ||
| That's where we started four years ago because we knew it was important for you to learn the concept of what is the prime reserve currency, right? | ||
| And how that's so at Bretton Woods, all of it. | ||
| So very proud of this audience and very proud of working with the Birch Gold guys. | ||
| Go check it out today. | ||
| So we got the eighth and ninth installments we're working on right now post Brazil, post-Rio. | ||
| And remember, we had with the Birch Gold guys the most sophisticated live assessments from Rio. | ||
| More than Bloomberg, more than CNBC. | ||
| Forget Fox business. | ||
| That's kind of a joke, except for Mario. | ||
| So very proud, proud of this audience. | ||
| Using your agency. | ||
| Matthew Goodwin joins us now. | ||
| And Matthew is, I think, one of the leading thinkers about populist nationalism, written books, articles, I guess formerly an academic or think tank, but now a practitioner. | ||
| Matthew, I want to talk about the poll and about Nigel, but I got to talk about, I want to start with President Trump's trip because they're talking about Brexit and, you know, Trump, we were very involved in the Brexit situation. | ||
| And then President Trump, you know, we always said that's the predicate in June of 16 for the Trump revolution that took place in November. | ||
| President Trump puts him on notice yesterday. | ||
| He says, hey, look, we're here to talk trade. | ||
| And, you know, the EU head's going to come over. | ||
| And I'm going to meet with Starmer. | ||
| But you guys got to get your act together on mass migration before it's too late. | ||
| Are you going to lose your countries? | ||
| Are you going to lose Europe? | ||
| Can you give us a sense in the summer of 25 where we really stand with kind of populist nationalism throughout Europe, particularly in the United Kingdom, but also the fundamental issues that President Trump's looking at when he comes over for this weekend, sir? | ||
| Well, absolutely. | ||
| And Steve, firstly, thanks for having me on. | ||
| I remember about 10 years ago, you and I were starting to talk about this political revolution. | ||
| And ever since then, you know, with some stops and starts, but ever since then, it's basically accelerated. | ||
| Look, what President Trump has said today as he stepped off Air Force One and he said, look, Europe, you know, you're losing yourself by not controlling immigration. | ||
| There might not be a Europe left. | ||
| That's what President Trump said today. | ||
| And it struck a very loud chord here in Europe because wherever you look, whether it's Giorgio Maloney in Italy, whether it's Maureen Le Pen and Jordan Bardella in France, whether it's Nigel Farage in the UK, whether it's the alternative for Germany, | ||
| you know, Europe is now going through its own Trumpian moment with anti-immigration, anti-elite, pro-nation movements really doing as well as they've ever done before. | ||
| I mean, if you look at all of the polling across Europe, a lot of these movements are reaching highs that would have been thought, you know, unthinkable in the early 2010s. | ||
| I've just come back from Hungary where, you know, obviously Viktor Orban there has pushed back against this relentless social liberalism in Brussels. | ||
| But, you know, in Austria, the Freedom Party has never been stronger. | ||
| And in the UK, remarkably, Nigel Farage, 34% in the national polls. | ||
| And this is all because of mass migration, Steve. | ||
| You know, I put out a video this morning. | ||
| I said President Trump is right for two reasons when he says Europe is killing itself. | ||
| He's right because economically the evidence is all there. | ||
| The kind of migration that's coming into Europe, I'll give you one stat. | ||
| 30 million people have come into Europe over the last decade alone, both legally and illegally. | ||
| And we know that a lot of those folks were low skill, low wage, low levels of education. | ||
| So we know that mass migration has been undermining the economic prosperity of Europe. | ||
| But secondly, and I think more importantly, and this is what President Trump, I think, was alluding to, it's undermining the culture of Europe too. | ||
| And some of your viewers and listeners will know this name, but the English philosopher Roger Scruton once said That a nation is not just a legal document, a nation is not just a piece of territory. | ||
| A nation is built on a shared culture, a shared identity, a shared language, a shared religion, and it's that cultural inheritance, argued Roger Scruton, that ultimately is what makes a nation. | ||
| And I think wherever you look in Europe, there is this sense, Steve, that we're at this civilizational moment, that actually that sense of who we are, that shared culture, is being rapidly undermined by the scale of mass migration. | ||
| Because as Scruton said, you know, if you lose that sense of cultural unity, you don't have loyalty anymore. | ||
| All you have are a series of empty transactions. | ||
| You don't have a nation. | ||
| You don't have a we. | ||
| It's a bit like living in a one-star motel where you don't know who's living next to you. | ||
| And I think Europeans are very aware of that. | ||
| I think they're watching the Trump experiment very closely. | ||
| I think they've taken heart from the collapse in the number of border crossings. | ||
| For us in the UK, we've got a border crisis. | ||
| What President Trump is doing is incredibly important because it gives us proof of concept when we say, look, we want to deport these guys. | ||
| We've got 170,000 mainly young Islamic men coming into the UK on the small boats, entering our country illegally. | ||
| And when me and Nigel Farage and others are saying, let's detain these guys, let's deport these guys, people in Westminster say, well, you can't do that. | ||
| Well, now we can say, well, President Trump's done it. | ||
| And that proof of concept is really important for people here in Europe. | ||
| Here's the, I think what is so shocking. | ||
| Your two points you made, it's self-evident from the receipts, from the evidence itself, right? | ||
| How this has crushed people. | ||
| You know, the 30 million have driven down wages, and culturally it's made a mess whether you're looking in Italy or in France or in England or in Ireland. | ||
| But the people at the top are the fruit of this system. | ||
| For instance, there's a book called, I think, Chums that talks about Oxford. | ||
| And I think with 13 of the last 15 or post-war, I mean, if you look at Westminster, you look at the people that control British society still, they're the elite of the elite or the sons and daughters of the elites. | ||
| They go to the best universities. | ||
| They're very pampered and offset from the reality of the lived experience of working class people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But they are the fruit of the system. | |
| How could they, in looking at this evidence, because they're smart enough, continue not just to, they are in a fight and literally a knife fight with populist nationalists, whether that's alternative for Germany, whether it's Orban, whether it's Le Pen and Front Nationale, whether it's the rise, the meteoric rise of Niger Farage Party. | ||
| The elites are dug in more than they've ever dug in. | ||
| So explain to the American people why are the European elites country by country in this death struggle with a populist nationalist movement that actually has the evidence on their side of how their policies are destroying their own nations, sir? | ||
| Well, I remember reading a book by a very disgruntled leftist named Christopher Lash in the early 1990s. | ||
| He was a disillusioned academic, a bit like myself. | ||
| And what Christopher Lash predicted, you know, a good 20 years before the Trump revolt, he said the next big revolution in politics will not be the masses rising up against the elites, but the elites rising up against the masses. | ||
| And he argued they would use censorship, they would use speech codes, you know, they would use everything within their disposal to shut down public dissent, to try and control the people. | ||
| And what's becoming evident in the UK and elsewhere in Europe is that top-down project, that elite project is collapsing around us. | ||
| Steve, as you and I are talking now, there are spontaneous protests taking place up and down England in pretty middle-of-the-road places, fly-over towns, in places like Epping in Essex, places like Norfolk, | ||
| places like Glasgow, where ordinary mums, dads and grandparents are now hitting the streets, which is a big thing to say in British politics because the Brits historically don't really do street protests like the French and the Italians, but because they are so fed up with what the elite class has been imposing on them top down, which is mass uncontrolled immigration, unvetted migration, broken borders, not to mention woke ideology. | ||
| So this thing is getting a speed and a scale that the elite class is not ready for. | ||
| The answer I think seed is very similar to what happened in the US. | ||
| We have had in this country a Tory elite class, which reminds me of what you guys might call the Mitt Romney Republicans. | ||
| These guys have controlled the system for decades. | ||
| Now, there were some good people that were pushed to the forefront, Margaret Thatcher being the most obvious. | ||
| But many of these guys passed through Oxford, passed through Cambridge. | ||
| They're in this for themselves. | ||
| They're not in this for the country. | ||
| They're in this for social status. | ||
| They're in this to accumulate power for themselves and their friends. | ||
| And what Nigel Farage and this reform movement have realized, the sort of alternative party now, is that actually that elite class has fundamentally misread the mood of the nation. | ||
| We are basically saying we want an end to mass uncontrolled immigration. | ||
| We want to leave things like the European Convention on Human Rights. | ||
| We don't want international courts telling us who we can let into our country and who we have to keep in our country. | ||
| We want an end to this net zero green madness, which has prevented us from investing in our own energy. | ||
| We want an end to woke ideology. | ||
| We want to take on Islamism and make sure that it doesn't become as entrenched as it is in some countries like France, where basically the Muslim Brotherhood has become a sort of Trojan horse within the state. | ||
| And we want to reassert our independence. | ||
| We want to reassert our national sovereignty. | ||
| And I think the reason Nigel Farage and Reform are now number one in the national polls, 34%, which is remarkable, is They are tapping into the same thing that President Trump did. | ||
| An elite class has moved so far to the left, has been in it for itself, lost touch with the people, that you've now got this enormous space that's opened up for somebody like Nigel Farage, like the Reform Party, to stand up and say, you know what, actually, we're going to reassert the voice of the people. | ||
| We're going to control our borders. | ||
| The first thing, you know, for example, this week, Steve, we're having a big discussion about crime. | ||
| Any of your viewers, your listeners, lots of Americans come to London over the summer. | ||
| They will all have seen the lawlessness that is taking place in London. | ||
| Phones are being stolen every day. | ||
| Gangs are running riot. | ||
| People are being, you know, stabbed to death for their Rolex watches. | ||
| And Nigel's come out this week and he said, you know what? | ||
| It's time to bring back tough on crime. | ||
| We're going to have more police officers. | ||
| We're going to put drug dealers into prison for the rest of their lives. | ||
| We're going to start sending the bad guys, the worst of the bad guys, out to El Salvador. | ||
| And we're going to start reestablishing some basic law and order. | ||
| Little things like that, Steve, because if the state cannot, as Cicero said, if the state cannot perform its most basic duty of looking after its own people, then the state will not survive. | ||
| And what we're living through in the UK is the state that is no longer performing its most basic duty, which is to look after its own people. | ||
| Matthew, hang on for one second. | ||
| I just want to hold you, short break, and I want to hold you for a minute or two on the other side. | ||
| I want to talk about this poll, and I want to talk about a political miracle, the meteoric rise of Niger Farage and the Reform Party. | ||
| Nothing short of breathtaking and stunning. | ||
| Burt Schold's our sponsor. | ||

| Short commercial break. | ||
| Matthew Goodwin on the other side. | ||

American favorite in America's heart. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Back. | ||
| Okay, Matthew Goodwin, one of the real great thinkers, academic from academia about populist nationalism throughout the world. | ||
| So, Brother Goodwin, here's what I don't get. | ||
| Because, you know, we had Breitbart, London, and Raheem and the whole team. | ||
| We were there. | ||
| You know, Nigel gave us a big shout out the morning afterwards and said, hey, if we hadn't had Breitbart, London, we might not have had Brexit because the Daily Telegraph, nobody would cover it, nobody would support it. | ||
| I thought we had Brexit. | ||
| I thought we worked for Brexit to get your sovereignty back. | ||
| How could nine years on you essentially be saying, not essentially, you are saying, and you're one of the most serious guys I've met, you're saying, we're losing our country. | ||
| I thought Brexit was supposed to solve that, sir. | ||
| Well, Brexit was about what the people wanted. | ||
| And the people said loudly, we want to live in an independent, self-governing, sovereign nation which controls its own borders and has lower immigration. | ||
| So the people told the elites what they wanted. | ||
| This is the story of Great Britain that we want to see. | ||
| And what happened after that vote in 2016 is the elite class refused to listen to that. | ||
| And we had Boris Johnson, especially part of the Tory elite, the so-called conservative elite, who won an enormous victory in 2019 when people said, look, just get this thing done, get Brexit done. | ||
| Boris Johnson won that big majority, pretending to be a sort of Chichillian conservative, presenting himself like Winston Churchill. | ||
| But what Boris Johnson then did is he opened the floodgates to mass uncontrolled immigration, even more immigration than we had before Brexit. | ||
| And all of it, Steve, coming from outside of Europe. | ||
| Here's one statistic I want every American to think about. | ||
| 81% of all immigration into the UK today comes from outside of Europe. | ||
| Comes from Pakistan, Nigeria, China, Eritrea, Afghanistan, Iraq. | ||
| How can you maintain a nation that is experiencing that kind of cultural, religious, demographic change? | ||
| So, you know, after COVID and the lockdowns, which again, presided over by the elite class, Nigel, I've known him a long time, 15 years. | ||
| I could sense he was just getting more and more frustrated with this thing. | ||
| And then last year, 2024, we had this big general election and he said, you know what? | ||
| I got to come back. | ||
| I got to finish this project. | ||
| And the moment he did, his new party, reform, just exploded in the polls. | ||
| Now up to 34% of the vote. | ||
| Why is it doing so well, Steve? | ||
| It's now winning over more than half of all those people who voted for Brexit. | ||
| All those people who said, hey, elites, are you listening to us? | ||
| We want less immigration. | ||
| We want border control. | ||
| We don't want London and financial services getting everything. | ||
| We don't want to sell off our traditional industry, our steel and our coal in the name of this crazy green net zero project. | ||
| And they weren't listening to the people. | ||
| So now the people are taking back control of the system and they're pushing reform forward like they pushed Brexit forward. | ||
| And I think this is what separates national populism in my mind from the established class. | ||
| I think just two principles. | ||
| One is national populists believe that the true source of power, authority and legitimacy are the people. | ||
| That makes them different from the elite class because the elites believe the true source of power, authority and legitimacy lies with other elites like them. | ||
| But the second key principle which Nigel recognizes and President Trump recognizes is we believe in the principle of national preference. | ||
| We believe that in everything from the economy to housing to borders, it is your own people, taxpaying citizens, who should be prioritized. | ||
| We don't think all cultures are equal. | ||
| We don't think everybody around the world is the same. | ||
| We don't want to buy into this globalist mush. | ||
| We believe there is a distinctive, unique nation that should be preserved and should be protected. | ||
| And I think Nigel understands the power of that, which is why he's now leading in the polls. | ||
| And all the bookmakers, you know, the betting companies, Steve, they say if there was an election tomorrow, odds on, Nigel Farage would be the next prime minister. | ||
| So this is going to be another unbelievable chapter in This ongoing story, which is ultimately about the people saying, We want our country back. | ||
| We want it back from this elite class. | ||
| We want it back from mass immigration. | ||
| We want it back from the globalists. | ||
| We want it back from Brussels. | ||
| You know, we want it for ourselves and our families and our children. | ||
| And until the elite class get that and start making compromises with the people, they're going to be blown away. | ||
| And that's what's going to happen, I think, at the next general election. | ||
| And you have an announcement, too. | ||
| I take it you're now in the, you're going into the trenches to the front lines of this. | ||
| Well, Steve, let me say I spent 20 years in the universities. | ||
| I became the youngest professor in the UK, the age of 33. | ||
| I was a political scientist. | ||
| I went through all the universities. | ||
| And I think you get to a point in your life where you look around and you say, am I actually just going to write about this? | ||
| Or am I going to try and do something to save my country? | ||
| And over the last 12 months, I've come to the view, looking at this disaster of mass uncontrolled immigration, which is exactly what it is. | ||
| It's a disaster. | ||
| Looking at the contempt with which the elites in Westminster hold their own people, which has been appalling to me. | ||
| I come from a working class background. | ||
| I'm not like these guys. | ||
| I didn't go to Oxford. | ||
| I didn't go to Cambridge. | ||
| And I've seen and heard how they talk about the ordinary people behind closed doors. | ||
| And it's worse than people think. | ||
| And I said, okay, I've got to put my head above the parapet. | ||
| I've got to get involved. | ||
| So I'm going around the country. | ||
| I'm speaking at branches. | ||
| I'm speaking at meetings. | ||
| You know, we're building a massive community on all of the social media, you know, that we've got, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and X. And I said to Nigel very clearly and directly, like, I'm at your service. | ||
| You want to put me in at the next election? | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| Like, let's take back our country. | ||
| Matthew, how do people get to you on social media? | ||
| How do they get to your site? | ||
| All your writings, sir? | ||
| Yeah, so I actually have the biggest politics newsletter in the UK on Substack at Matgoodwin.org. | ||
| So we've got over 82,000 people who are all hungry for change. | ||
| We give you all the evidence and the information that you need to critique mass immigration. | ||
| It's all based on evidence. | ||
| It's all based on reliable information. | ||
| We're not misleading people. | ||
| We are just telling them what on earth is going on in what was once upon a time one of the greatest nations on earth, one of the greatest civilizations, because people can't trust legacy media anymore. | ||
| And we're giving them the truth and we're helping them to plan, helping them to campaign, and building this new ecosystem that I think is going to ultimately help Nigel get into number 10 down extreme. | ||
| And I think that's the crucial first step to taking back our country. | ||
| And the last thing I'd say, Steve, while I'm on, is you guys completely called this. | ||
| I remember both yourself and Raheem Kassam more than 10 years ago saying this is where it's going to go. | ||
| And here we are, 2025. | ||
| And you guys were absolutely on the money. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So kudos to you guys. | |
| Matthew, thank you so much. | ||
| Your original book on that is outstanding. | ||
| We'll make sure audience gets everything. | ||
| How do they get, they go to Substack and they can subscribe to your Substack? | ||
| That's right, MattGoodwin.org. | ||
| Just Google me, they'll find it and come on board. | ||
| If you're interested in what's going on in Europe, we'll tell you all the craziness that's going on, the attacks on free speech, you know, this new definition of Islamophobia that our government is trying to impose on us so we can't debate Islam, we can't criticize Islam. | ||
| If you're out there and you're interested in the countercultural perspective, you know, get involved. | ||
| And we're learning from America. | ||
| So, you know, I'd say to all of your viewers and listeners, if you think there are things we can learn from the Trump take back, let us know because, you know, this movement's going into government, Steve. | ||
| I mean, Nigel Farage is going into government. | ||
| And the state, and I've said this to him, the state is going to launch a war on Nigel Farage and reform. | ||
| So anything we can learn from the differences between Trump 1 and Trump 2, anything we can learn about how you take on the state and how you can root out, you know, the swamp and all the rest of it, anyone out there with useful tips, just get them to me. | ||
| Matthew, fantastic. | ||
| Take care. | ||
| And thanks for taking time away on a Saturday when you got a three-year-old you're looking after, so thank you, sir. | ||
| Juggling. | ||
| It's a global revolution. | ||
| This is why we cover Bolsonaro so closely and front nationale and alternative for Deutschland and what's happening in Italy. | ||
| Of course, the great Viktor Orban, Poland. | ||
| I think Mo's going over to the Polish inauguration. | ||
| We have a whole team going over there. | ||
| Poso's going, etc. | ||
| Just extraordinary. | ||
| Do I have Taj Gil? | ||
| Taj, brother, now more than ever, I need a good, strong cup of coffee. | ||
| I'm going to need a couple, three cup of coffees. | ||
| Get me through the day. | ||
| We've got a lot going on here in the war room. | ||
| What do you got for me, brother? | ||
| We've got plenty of coffee for you. | ||
| The website is warpath.coffee. | ||
| Use promo code warroom, and it is the best coffee out there. | ||
| We've got just under 12,000 five-star reviews on the website right now. | ||
| It's cranking. | ||
| We can't roast it fast enough. | ||
| We roast it on a perforated drum. | ||
| So by doing that, we don't burn our beans at all whatsoever. | ||
| And that's why you can drink it straight black. | ||
| We don't need milk or sugar with our coffee. | ||
| It is the smoothest, best coffee that you can drink. | ||
| So promo code warroom warpath.coffee for the best coffee. | ||
| We've got a dark roast breakfast blend. | ||
| We've got the cake cups. | ||
| We've got espresso. | ||
| We even have decaf now. | ||
| We just launched the decaf 4th of July and it's almost sold out. | ||
| We're roasting more this week. | ||
| And we've got the flavor coffees. | ||
| We've got mugs. | ||
| We've got it all. | ||
| But if you haven't tried it, try it. | ||
| If you're a coffee drinker, you will love this coffee. | ||

| By the way, Taj, one of our next guests, Josh Pettit, the great golf course architect Out on the West Coast, going to talk to us about Turnbury and President Trump's courses in Scotland. | ||
| He's a huge fan of Warpath. | ||
| He texted me during your pitch that, hey, you two, go easy on the medium roast. | ||
| He's a big fan of the medium roast. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Awesome. | |
| So you've got decaf, you got medium roast, you got olive. | ||
| You've got not just the dark roast and the espresso, you've got everything, right? | ||
| That's right. | ||
| We've got it all. | ||
| And we're going to be launching more. | ||
| We've got an instant coffee coming probably in the next month or two. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Love it. | ||
| The instant coffee has been a difficult road because we have to freeze our coffee and it's expensive to do it. | ||
| So we actually, we're outsourcing the coffee and it's hard to find any coffee that tastes similar to ours, but we think we've almost got it nailed down. | ||
| So instant coffee coming soon. | ||
| Warpath.coffee. | ||
| Make sure you put in promo code worm. | ||
| Tej Gil, thank you on a Saturday, sir. | ||
| Let's get a good strong cup of coffee. | ||
| The champagne of coffee. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Man. | |
| Ben Harnwell from Rome. | ||
| You know a couple of things about this. | ||
| Is President Trump right? | ||
| Is Matt Goodwin correct? | ||
| Are the polls that show, and folks, the reason this poll is so stunning, the reform guys have no money. | ||
| This is all bootstrapped. | ||
| Nigel's in commons right now. | ||
| But if you see, I could show you videos. | ||
| Nigel, you can't even hear him when he stands up to speak. | ||
| He's shouted down by both parties, the Tories and Labor. | ||
| It's 34% for reform, Ben. | ||
| It's 16%, I think, for the Tories. | ||
| The Tories have been around for a couple of hundred years. | ||
| I mean, hell, they've run Great Britain for two-thirds of that time. | ||
| What is going on? | ||
| And Trump throws down right when he gets off the plane and says, hey, look, the head of the EU is coming over. | ||
| I'm going to talk to Starmer. | ||
| We're trying to cut this deal with the EU. | ||
| But hey, forget about it. | ||
| You've got to take care of if this mass migration, mass immigration problem didn't get solved. | ||
| You're not even going to have a country. | ||
| You're not going to have countries. | ||
| Forget Europe. | ||
| Ben Harnwell from Rome, your thoughts and observations. | ||
| Well, let's tie all these things together, Steve, and good morning to you. | ||
| Firstly, just to recap what President Trump said this morning on his flight over. | ||
| On immigration, you better get your act together. | ||
| You're not going to have Europe anymore. | ||
| And that is an absolute throwdown to Ursula von der Leyen, who's flying out there to meet POTUS in Scotland. | ||
| And as Matt Goodwin was saying, Europe, specifically the UK, is taking inspiration from the fact that the most powerful, economically powerful, culturally powerful, militarily powerful nation in the history of mankind is sending people back. | ||
| And when the United States does that, when it actually embarks on forced repatriations, it basically throws great difficulty in the performative centre-right political spectrum because words are no longer satisfactory, right? | ||
| If Donald Trump is actually sending people back, then, you know, and you see this definitely in the UK, less so in Italy because there still isn't a credible alternative to Georgia Maloney. | ||
| But just the words that, you know, we need to have stronger controls and, you know, we need to take people's concerns into consideration. | ||
| It's not going to do the trick. | ||
| And here's the thing, Steve, about the UK. | ||
| And as you say, the Tory Party is the world's oldest political party. | ||
| And it's, over recent generation and a half, its political leadership really has driven that party into the ground. | ||
| You mentioned Boris Johnson. | ||
| I still, to this day, have a small residue of affection for that guy. | ||
| But when was the last time we saw political leadership in the Tory Party fight for the UK's interests with the intensity and passion that Boris Johnson fought for Ukraine? | ||
| That's why the Tory Party is imploding, because they can't even pretend to care about the people whose votes are hemorrhaging away to Nigel Farage and reform. | ||
| Let me repeat that. | ||
| When was the last time in the UK a Conservative leader fought for British interests with the passion and dedication that Boris Johnson fought for Zelensky and the Zelensky regime in Ukraine? | ||
| And you'd really need to go back to the days of Margaret Thatcher. | ||
| And that's why you see the poll flip that you see that came out two days ago. | ||
| That's why reform is on 34%. | ||
| Because Nigel Farage has been absolutely consistent. | ||
| It's a guy I first met in 1999, 1998, actually, when he was first running for his seat in the European Parliament. | ||
| He has said the same thing. | ||
| In fact, you could look at a Nigel Farage speech. | ||
| You wouldn't know by looking at the speech when it was said, because he's been so consistent. | ||
| And if there's one thing you can say about the British people, it's that they are fair. | ||
| They may be weak occasionally. | ||
| They may not come out and burn tractors and what have you on the roads like the French do. | ||
| But if it's one attribute that you can say in favour of the Brits, that they are fair. | ||
| And they respect being fair. | ||
| They respect Nigel Farage's integrity and his coherence. | ||
| And the polls are finally starting to show that. | ||
| As Matt Goodwin said in the last segment, if there were an election today, Nigel Farage would win that. | ||
| And that's right, that's absolutely right. | ||
| Because, you know, it's the same thing that we're discussing just a few days ago in Japan with that Sanhato political party. | ||
| People are getting, you know, they're beyond fed up. | ||
| They're actually, it's very difficult to get someone to change political affiliation, but it's actually happening. | ||
| It's happening right around the world, drawing inspiration from the United States because people are not, it's not that they're fed up, they will no longer tolerate the performative going through the motions of the centre-right political Establishment, and the UK is going to be the next to fall. | ||
| The lesson for us, and this gets to Tulsi's conspiracy and this Epstein thing, is that you had Brexit nine years ago, and it's actually could argue it's worse today, right? | ||
| Don't get me wrong, you've gotten your sovereignty back to a degree, but the elites have refused to implement it. | ||
| Is that a lesson for the United States? | ||
| This is why we must take on the deep state. | ||
| I mean, we don't have a choice. | ||
| If you don't do that, if you don't break that, all the tax cuts, everything we've done, it's just going to be unwound over time. | ||
| Sir, your observations. | ||
| What did the Tory Party do when David Cameron, the then Prime Minister, who called that referendum, what did the Tory party do when David Cameron resigned as Prime Minister in order to deal with the fallout of Brexit? | ||
| Before you got on to the get Brexit done, they handed the party over to Theresa May, who campaigned to remain. | ||
| That is in your face contempt for a political party to its public. | ||
| The Toy Party loses a referendum, right? | ||
| The British party, I think it was about 50, 53, 47. | ||
| It was a clear, decisive result. | ||
| And the Toy Party, David Cameron resigns, and the next day, the next Prime Minister is Theresa May, who campaigned to remain. | ||
| That is one of the reasons to this day. | ||
| Steve, the point is they tried to sabotage, the Tory party tried to sabotage the effectiveness, the opportunities of Brexit from day one. | ||
| And the British people stood there. | ||
| And, you know, you say Brexit hasn't been implemented to the best of the potential that's there. | ||
| And that's absolutely true. | ||
| And that's deliberate. | ||
| That's absolutely deliberate. | ||
| And you see this signs from the political leadership of both political parties sort of dropping hints occasionally about perhaps we should go back in. | ||
| That is one thing that the British public to this day are adamant they do not want to see. | ||
| Even if it has been painful for the UK and even if the British Tory Party has tried, had tried when it was in power to sabotage that result. | ||
| The British public are absolutely adamant they do not want to go back into the European Union. | ||
| So we need a political party that is going to make the best out of independence and the nationalist integrity that being outside of the Union affords. | ||
| Because I voted for Brexit. | ||
| I haven't had a scintilla of regret over that. | ||
| But it has been a painful experience for the UK. | ||
| There are some advantages to being inside the European Union. | ||
| For a country like the UK, the advantages of being out vastly supersede the advantages of being in the Union. | ||
| But there are certain advantages of being in the European Union. | ||
| We need a political party as a government like Reform UK, led by someone like Nigel Farage, to draw out those advantages so that the working class, the middle class of the UK, can start to perceive the benefits that being outside of that union afford. | ||
| Because the whole grifting political class is dependent. | ||
| It was brilliant for Steve Brexit because above all the elected opportunity you had in Parliament, if you lost your seat, if you were thrown out by the electorate at the general election, you could then go kissing up and try and get an even bigger grift going by getting yourself elected to Brussels, | ||
| a sign that you're there, of which all the benefits and the kilometrage and everything vastly exceed the grift available to an ordinary backbench member of parliament. | ||
| It was their insurance opportunity. | ||
| You had the opportunities for the civil service to go out to Brussels, to Strasbourg, to Luxembourg, where they paid 10% income tax. | ||
| And it was great for the political class because if they got kicked out, they had an insurance ticket to play. | ||
| The only people who didn't benefit out of it were tax-paying Prits outside of the political system who had no interest in joining that racket because they just wanted to work decent jobs and get on with their lives and prosper and pass something on a better future to their kids. | ||
| So you have all the elites coming together and plotting against the British people. | ||
| So 34% for reform. | ||
| That might even inch itself up between now and the next general election. | ||
| That might even inch itself up a couple more points. | ||
| Let's hope so. | ||
| Because Nigel Farrow certainly deserves it. | ||
| Where do you get we'll get to Ukraine next week. | ||
| We've got a lot to go through. | ||
| Where do people get you over the weekend on social media, sir? | ||
| Thanks, Steve. | ||
| On Getter, my social media platform of choice. | ||
| Just tap in my surname, Harnwell. | ||
| And I do have some pretty provocative posts at the top of my feed waiting for you. | ||
| Thanks, Steve. | ||
| God bless. | ||
| Pretty provocative. | ||
| Thank you, sir. | ||
| Ben Harnow from Rome. | ||
| Josh Pettit joins us. | ||
| Josh, the President Trump, and people should know, these are his kind of beloved properties he has. | ||
| He flew over to Turnbury. | ||
| Why is it so controversial about Turnbury, about President Trump being there, President Trump owning it? | ||
| It's one of the great golf links in the world. | ||
| It's one of the best, used to be one of the best venues for the Open Championship as the formal title of the British Open. | ||
| Why is that, everything, all the money he's put in, how he's turned around, why is this not accepted by the Rollin Ancient, the elites of British golf, as one of their championship venues, sir? | ||
| Well, Steve, as Americans would call it, the British Open, but globally it's referred to as the Open Championship. | ||
| It's the oldest and most prestigious tournament in championship golf. | ||
| They just conducted the 153rd Open. | ||
| It's been going On since 1860, and it's the most prestigious championship in golf, and it has a long history of being hosted on these fantastic Lynx golf courses in the UK and sometimes in Northern Ireland, which it just was in Port Rush last week. | ||
| And it's been hosted at Turnbury, which is now Trump Turnbury, four times. | ||
| The last time was 2009. | ||
| And for a golf lover like President Trump and a prolific golf course developer, naturally it would be the dream of a developer like President Trump to host an open championship on one of his properties. | ||
| The only problem with that is, as I said, the open is always hosted on these old historic golf courses. | ||
| So a developer like President Trump couldn't build a new golf resort and host the Open Championship. | ||
| Like, for instance, his Trump Aberdeen property, which I think we'll get to in a minute, as good as it is, it would never be able to host an open championship because the RNA, the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, which is the governing body of golf in partnership with the USGA, they only host it on these old historic properties. | ||
| And so enter Trump in 2014. | ||
| He bought this property, Turnberry, that has this long history of hosting the Open Championship. | ||

Turnbury was actually, Josh, hang on for one second. | |
| We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| I want to get to the punchline after the break because this shows you how much the global elites detest and hate President Trump. | ||
| Even historic venue, and arguably one of the greatest venues in the Open Championship, out because of ownership of Donald Trump. | ||
| Short break. | ||

| Christmas in July, and you'll be stunned at the type of deals you can get. | ||
| So Josh Pett at Turnberry. | ||
| And people should know, this is the, it's not a hobby, it's deeper than that. | ||
| President Trump has a deep love for golf, but he also has a deep love for classic golf architecture. | ||
| He owns Durow, Bedminster, just some great venues in the United States, but the ones in Scotland, not just his family, but he has a great love for the beginning of the game. | ||
| And he's put a tremendous amount of money. | ||
| Turnbury was essentially bankrupt when he came in. | ||
| Why is the Royal and Ancient taking a great venue like Turnberry that Donald Trump's put a ton of money in to refurbish and bring it back to its greatness? | ||
| Why is it still not in the rota of the open championship, sir? | ||
| Well, most architecture fishing artists will tell you that of the courses on the open rota, Turnberry is right up there as one of the best, you know, right with St. Andrews and maybe Mirfield. | ||
| Architecturally speaking and from a strategic and the challenging standpoint, it's a fantastic venue. | ||
| But when Trump acquired the property in 2014, and yeah, as you mentioned, he invested a bunch of capital to rehab it, and it's absolutely fantastic. | ||
| Everybody raves about the changes he made. | ||
| But then, you know, he began his political career in 2015, and then we know the rest. | ||
| So the RNA, the Royal and Ancient, their position pre-2020 was that they weren't comfortable hosting an open there because they thought the focus would be on the owner and not the golf. | ||
| That's their stated position. | ||
| Then, you know, after 2021, they said, you know, when January 6th happened, they used that as an excuse. | ||
| They said that they feared for security concerns due to the events that happened in January 6th. | ||
| That was their official reasoning for pulling it. | ||
| That and like logistical issues and transportation issues, it is hard to get people there. | ||
| But that was an excuse. | ||
| They pulled it because of January 6th. | ||
| They said Trump is not acceptable to us and we will never – They thought they had seen the last of Trump. | ||
| Surprise, he's now not just back. | ||
| He's in Scotland in their face, sir. | ||
| That's exactly right. | ||
| And then as of 2023, the RNA's position was as long as Trump or the Trump family owned the golf resort, they would not host an open there. | ||
| That was their stated position. | ||
| And then earlier this year, like I think in January, February, the new chief of the RNA, he sort of eased off of that position. | ||
| He said, well, you know, it may return, but it's not going to be returning anytime soon. | ||
| Fast forward a few months. | ||
| And now they've, I think, announced, I think it's public knowledge that they've been in conversations with the Trump organization. | ||
| And my sources on the ground tell me that these are high-level conversations and the open will return there eventually. | ||
| And my guess is that there's a chance. | ||
| Hang on, hang on, hang on. | ||
| We only got a couple of minutes. | ||
| I'm going to have you on Monday to talk about his new courses because that's a whole nother set of controversy. | ||
| I'm going to stay on Turnberry. | ||
| You're breaking news here. | ||
| Your high-level sources are telling you that they're open, that Roland Achen are open to have Trump, with Trump's ownership, bring Turnberry back into the open rota? | ||
| Yep, that's exactly right. | ||
| Enough people in the golf world, and I spent a good amount of time over in the UK and Scotland and England, they're fed up with the politicization of golf. | ||
| You know, it shouldn't be politicized, and the RNA has really dipped their toe into politics, and they're kind of tired of it. | ||
| And these are people that, I don't know their political stances, but they're just tired of the politicization and they want golf. | ||
| They want their greatest championship, arguably one of the greatest, most important sporting events on the global stage to be hosted at the greatest venues. | ||
| And so they've heard enough backlash and they know that there's a demand to host it back at Turnbury. | ||
| And they're in high-level talks right now with the Trump organization to bring it back. | ||
| My guess is it may happen in 2028 or 2029. | ||
| I mean, it'd be pretty good for President Trump. | ||
| You know, he always likes to talk about how he's got the World Cup in 2026, you know, the semi-quincentennial, the American 150th, and then the Olympics in 28. | ||
| And so to have the Open, let's say, in 28 or maybe 29. | ||
| I'd like it in 29 because it'll be the first summer of his third term. | ||
| Josh, where do people go on social media? | ||
| We're going to have you back Monday talk about President Trump's tour. | ||
| He'll be at his other courses in Scotland, his new ones on Monday. | ||
| We'll have you back. | ||
