Fire at Will

The war in Gaza has revealed some ugly realities of life in modern Britain: antisemitism, the failures of multiculturalism, and sectarian violence to name but a few. Whilst the war may (hopefully) be coming to an end, the problems at home remain. Has the multicultural melting pot melted? Will is joined by author of the new book, 'The Melted Pot: Diversity, Antisemitism, and the Limits of Tolerance', Harry Saul Markham.

Charlie Kirk's assassination has sparked a global conversation. We have been forced to grapple with issues of free speech, political violence, the changing faces of the right and the left, faith, and the future of western civilisation itself. Will discussed all of these pressing topics with the host of The Rubin Report, Dave Rubin. Following his sold-out run alongside tour with Jordan Peterson, Dave will be returning to Australia this October for three exclusive, can't-miss shows in Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane. Tickets are available here [https://www.daverubin.com/events]. * Melbourne – October 18 * Sydney – October 21 * Brisbane – October 27 Follow Will Kingston and Fire at Will on social media here [https://linktr.ee/fireatwillpod].

As October 7 has faded in the public consciousness, a pervasive narrative has taken hold that Israel are the real antagonists of the war in Gaza. Western media is overwhelmingly anti-Israel (and in some instances, flat out antisemitic). There are few people with the experience and honesty to cut through the fog of war and explain the conflict as it is. John Spencer is one of those people. John is considered one of the world's leading experts on urban warfare, having served as an advisor to the top four-star general and other senior leaders in the U.S. Army as part of strategic research groups from the Pentagon to the United States Military Academy. John currently serves as the Chair of Urban Warfare Studies at the Modern War Institute at West Point and Co-Director of the Urban Warfare Project.

Many UK politicians think illegal immigration is an unsolvable problem. It's easier to put illegal migrants in fancy hotels and hope for the best. GB News host Patrick Christys has put them to shame. In recent weeks, Patrick has infiltrated the people smuggling networks in France. His insights into the migrant crisis are astonishing. Will and Patrick also discuss the 'Great Afghan cover up', the failures of the UK media, and whether Nigel Farage really is the right man to save Britain.

The UK government is "going for growth" whilst pursuing an aggressive net zero energy policy. Are the two goals compatible? Spoiler alert: No. In this conversation with Will, philosopher and energy expert Alex Epstein dismantles the accepted climate science narrative, and advocates for a world with more fossil fuels, not less. Alex's most recent book is titled, 'Fossil Future: Why Global Human Flourishing Requires More Oil, Coal, and Natural Gas - Not Less'.

The nanny state is on the march across the West, propped up by weak leaders taking their cues from a small group of tedious, moralising activists. It's time they were exposed. Enter the '25 Nanny State Index, compiled by the Institute of Economic Affairs' Chris Snowdon. Will and Chris discuss why 'nanny-stateism' is on the rise, how the UK compares to Europe, and which country wins the ignominious award for Europe's most miserable nanny state.

When classical liberals and conservatives took the fight to the 'woke left', many made the mistake of thinking that victory would automatically mark a return to classical liberal and conservative principles. Whilst the battle is not over, it is now clear that it won't be that simple. In fact, perhaps the greatest achievement of the 'woke left' has been its role in the creation of a 'woke right'. To discuss the troubling phenomenon that has been the talk of Twitter in recent months, Will is joined by author, podcaster, and professional troublemaker, James Lindsay.
