Historian and author Raymond Ibrahim joins The Winston Marshall Show for a powerful, eye-opening conversation on the hidden history of Islam’s conquest of the Christian world—and why so few dare to speak about it today.

Raymond traces the rapid Islamic expansion following Muhammad’s death, showing how, within just one century, Muslim armies had violently overrun three-quarters of the original Christian world—from Syria and Egypt to Spain and deep into Europe.

He dismantles the myth of Andalusian "tolerance," reveals the brutal realities behind the so-called Islamic Golden Age, and explains how the Islamic conquests shattered the Mediterranean world, plunging Europe into the Dark Ages.

Raymond explores the modern censorship around Christian persecution, the resurgence of historical jihadist rhetoric in groups like ISIS, and the urgent lessons today's leaders refuse to learn.

All this—the real story of the Crusades, the lost Christian heartlands, the enduring legacy of conquest, and the history the mainstream media won’t touch…

Trump’s Director for Counterterrorism, Dr. Sebastian Gorka joins The Winston Marshall Show from inside the White House to lay out Trump’s war on terror 2.0—foreign and domestic.

Islamist cells, Venezuelan cartels, Antifa radicals, fentanyl from China, jihadi recruitment through gaming platforms—Gorka warns the threats are real, escalating, and now finally being met with force.

He details Trump’s executive kill order on an ISIS leader in Somalia, the crackdown on Hamas sympathisers on U.S. campuses, and the revival of a serious counterterrorism strategy that Biden dismantled.

All this—SignalGate, open borders, the war on the Houthis, fentanyl deaths, and the terror networks hiding in plain sight…

Trump’s former chief strategist Steve Bannon invites Winston Marshall into the heart of the War Room to lay out the geopolitical, economic, and cultural revolution of Trump’s second term.

In the White House, the deportation of 10 million illegal immigrants is underway, with the Alien Enemies Act invoked and the administrative state under assault. Meanwhile, Secretary Marco Rubio warns that an Ukraine ceasefire must be achieved—or U.S. support ends.

Bannon calls for total economic war on Iran—naval blockades, asset seizures, and sanctions—and rails against Qatari money, the CCP’s long game, and the “network effect” eroding Western sovereignty.

All this—China decoupling, World War III, Goldman globalists, and Trump’s 100 days in office

Journalist and author David Zweig joins The Winston Marshall Show to expose one of the greatest scandals of our time—the catastrophic shutdown of America’s schools during COVID.

Zweig reveals how faulty public health planning, political tribalism, and media malpractice led to the closure of schools for over 50 million children—causing untold harm while doing nothing to stop the virus.

He dismantles the myths: no, school closures didn’t protect communities; yes, lockdowns hurt the poorest children the most. From teachers’ unions to the CDC, from Trump’s missteps to Fauci’s failures, Zweig names the names and follows the evidence.

All this—Silent Lunch, the corruption of expert authority, media complicity, and the long-term damage we’re only beginning to understand...

Former Fox News host and political strategist Steve Hilton joins The Winston Marshall Show to expose the catastrophic failure of California’s ruling class—and why he’s now running for governor.

Hilton sounds the alarm on the state's sky-high poverty, homelessness, housing costs, and mass exodus. He blames decades of far-left policies, Soros-style “compassionism,” and a corrupt "homeless industrial complex" for gutting California’s promise.

We dive deep into the collapse of public education, the climate extremism destroying the economy, the war on affordable housing, and the madness of shutting down nuclear plants while importing dirty oil on carbon-belching supertankers.

All this...elitism, green Jim Crow, Newsom’s failures, and a battle to rescue the American Dream before it’s too late… #california #democrats #gavinnewsom

And the topics of credentialism, Anti-semitism laws, the popularity of conspiracy theories, Jeffrey Epstein, Nazi apologia, the “dancing Israelis” of 9/11, the “woke right”, the ancient Blood Libel against the Jews, free speech, the failure of mainstream media and the failure of new media.

This episode was filmed on April 3rd, 2025, before the viral Douglas Murray and Dave Smith debate on The Joe Rogan Experience, but deals with some of the same issues.

Political scientist Yascha Mounk joins The Winston Marshall Show for a sharp, wide-ranging discussion on the evolution of populism, the crisis of democracy, and the future of America's political coalitions.

Mounk draws a clear line between populism and fascism, warning that even democratically elected movements can veer into dangerous territory—citing Venezuela and Turkey as cautionary tales.

He critiques the failures of modern media, the persistence of woke ideology post-Trump, and the inefficiencies of U.S. foreign aid programs like USAID.

The conversation turns to 2024: Kamala Harris’s faltering coalition, the Republican Party’s pivot toward a multi-racial working-class base, and the growing tension between big donors and Main Street voters.

All this—populism’s promise and peril, woke culture’s staying power, the death of old political norms, and the battle for America’s soul...

Tim Pool welcomed The Winston Marshall Show to his West Virginia compound for a high-stakes conversation on civil strife, censorship, and the looming risk of American collapse.

Tim makes the case that the U.S. is already in a Civil strife—escalating from administrative sabotage to sporadic political violence, and warns that the tipping point is near. From Trump’s lawyer arrests to Tesla firebombings, from judges blocking executive power to the targeting of Elon Musk—nothing, he argues, is off the table anymore.

The two dive into the Fourth Turning, the MAGA revolution, and whether Trump could (or should) run for a third term.

All this—populist revolt, Big Tech warfare, Soros-backed chaos, and the war no one wants to name…
