Hi Mark,
Greetings from Hong Kong! Hope you are feeling slightly better.
As I look across the Western countries, I wanted to know why there is such a split between the mindset of the United States and the rest of the West in leadership. I believe that on the ground, the native populations are getting fed up. Even the recipients of a land acknowledgement in Canada, can't honestly think that the likes of what's happened to Brampton or Vancouver is worthwhile for any of their interests. Who ranks where in the grievance hierarchy?
I knew the left would make sure that the TV screens and doomscrolls are full of the sob stories, but I am proud that very few seem to have changed their minds. With the revelation of 55m visa holders in the US, and at least 30m more illegally, do you see the course continuing even with all the roadblocks being thrown up by democrats?
As always, I'll be asleep when the show is live and I can listen on the action replay.
Thanks,
Chris

Mark, we are seeing here in America the results of President Trump closing our border. Crimes by illegals are way down, and those we apprehend are being deported rather than let loose back into society. Do you think there is any chance that Great Britain, or anyone in the EU for that matter, will follow our example and stop the insane migration patterns that threaten to destroy their societies (a scenario you predicted, as you say, twenty years ago)?

Hi Mark,
I hope you are well, or at least improving. The situation in the UK and elsewhere in the west is grim indeed. The manifestations of mass migration are undeniable, but it appears that this is a symptom of deep ailments and pathologies with western societies themselves that has been worsening for decades now. In the interests of getting to the root of the problem, would you care to elaborate on what you think are the weaknesses within western civilization itself that have given rise to the current landscape?

Greetings, Mark-hope you are feeling better and enjoying the last of Summer.
Two questions on topics that are all too familiar:
What's your take on this crazy project whereby the British Government is planning to fund high altitude geoengineering to block sunlight? It seems rather counter-intuitive seeing as how they are spending a fortune to put up solar panels on every square inch of land that's available.
Also in the UK, I understand they are trying to come up with a new, formal definition of "Islamophobia". Angela Rayner, the Deputy Prime Minister, has set up a working group to provide recommendations to the Government on "appropriate and sensitive language" to describe "unacceptable treatment, prejudice and discrimination against Muslims". What could possibly go wrong?

Mark,
I asked this a couple of weeks ago while you were out, but I believe Laura thought you might prefer to take the question. And given the links you've shared, she might have been right. The question is simply what was the point of bombing Iran's nuclear facilities when Great Britain is on a glide path to being an outright Islamic state within the next 15 years?
It's entirely possible if not likely that Britain will find itself more aligned with Iran in the next 25 years than it does with the United States. So why risk failure in Iran when even a completely successful mission will become pointless in relatively short order?

Hi Mark, It's interesting to read your comments on 'the Ulsterisation of politics' For years, our betters have looked down at the deluded Unionists clinging to their Union flags, not realising that being under siege for (at least) the last 50 years has caused us as Kipling put it, 'through good and ill to cleave, to our own flag and throne'. Perhaps that poem of Kipling's, 'Ulster 1912' could now be applied more widely to the entire UK - 'The dark eleventh hour, Draws on and sees us sold, To every evil power, We fought against of old'. It certainly seems that way. John

Is there a snowball's chance that if Nigel is elected he would stand firm and actually carry out deportations? I expect he would collapse as soon as there is pushback. Be well!

Mark,
Welcome back.
I hope you are well.
Nigel Farage assures us that Mohammed Zia Yusuf is really good at maths.
Now I am passable with numbers but I can't seem to get Reform UK's numbers to add up.
If you have over 1M people a year arriving in your country and you're only going to deport 650,000 (which is now in question) over 5 years, I calculate you've added over 4M migrants to your population.
How does that work for a policy of Mass Deportations?
Am I missing something or is this simple sophistry?
Keep well Mark.

Hi Mark,
This is more of a literary question than a political one: There's a quote in Michel Houellebecq's Soumission that I've heard you and Douglas Murray reference on more than one occasion.
The quote is "There's no Israel for me." It's an interesting thought, and a deep one. I assume you would agree, being that you've referenced it. However, the very next line in the novel is, "A stupid thought, but an exact one." Why do you think Houellebecq wrote that it was stupid?

Greetings Mark,
My ethnic background is Swedish, German, and English—folks that I assume were agrarian/working class. The type of people Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote about in Little House on the Prairie. I feel a certain kinship with the peoples of those countries, and I particularly feel for the children from working class backgrounds who are being terrorized by migrant populations that hate them.
Inasmuch as these families have been abandoned by their governing elites, do you think it is advisable for the U.S. to use the established programs currently abused by economic migrant "asylum seekers" to save some of these kids from an appallingly situation they do not have the resources to otherwise get out of?
Welcome back, and thanks.

Mark, in a shameless attempt to entice Mark Steyn to put in a bonus appearance on today's show, I make reference to Burt Bacharach, Hal David. Their song which was released back in 1965 and was performed by Jackie DeShannon "What the World Needs Now is Love" was right for the time.
But, maybe what the world needs now is war and lots of it, but not the kind of war you declare on your enemies. Better would be war declared on allies. It might be that some of our allies' citizens are thinking they'd like to invite America to declare war on them ("the war starts at midnight"). They could immediately surrender unconditionally, say at a minute after, then let the mean old dictator Trump commence with the deportations. What about it? Do you think we could get Mark Steyn to swing by for this one?

It seems now after watching this importation of foreign people and collieries that this was not just an invasion for the sake of gaining voters, this was a wholesale suicide of western culture for the ability to control the population. If the powerful could break the spirit of the Englishman by importing his replacement, or the American by stripping him of his worthiness then the powerful could create a complacent people. Covid seemed to be the test to see who was left in the "non-broken" population.
Do you think the importing of people was an experiment designed for what the powerful thought would be political permanence gone astray, or do you think this was a more intentional action, designed for control?

Dear Mark: Glad to have you back and hope you're tanned, rested, and ready.
We hear a lot of talk about Britain being on the brink of civil war. I'd like to compare the current British 'troubles', (that's the word for it, isn't it?) to the American Revolution.
Here in King George III's North American Colonies, 12 years passed from the proclamation of 1763 to open fighting at the Battle of Lexington/Concord and the Siege of Boston. Iin between was a decade of political wrangling, followed by protests, boycotts and outright rioting against the Crown.
Keir Starmer seems as mendaciously incompetent as Lord North. If we were to compare Britian's situation to the American colonies during the buildup to the American Revolution, in what stage is Great Britain?

I think Mayah, Queen of Scots, the knife and hatchet wielding 14 year old, is a heroine and a turning point for the British Isles. It appears to me people are furious over her needing to defend herself. Do you agree?

Mark,
"On Saturday, August 23, 2025, at around 7:40 pm in Dundee, Scotland, a 14-year-old girl reportedly named Sophie was filmed standing between her 12-year-old sister and two adult men described as Islamic migrants who had been harassing them. The footage shows Sophie shouting, "Don't touch my little sister, she's twelve!" as she brandished a knife and a small hatchet."
This answers the question of what Scotsmen wear under their kilts.
Nothing. Nothing at all. They are all gelded cowardly bastards.

Hello Mark, hope you are doing well today considering the evil that is happening in this country.
How much are we willing to bet that the headlines from the national news media will be "trans community fears backlash"?
As it is already one headline I read was "church shooter went by multiple names"
We already have Amy Klobuchar saying it was the guns fault.
What a sad state of affairs we are in because of democrats insanity and many on the right who refuse to fight back against it.
