Illegal Immigration, Trump, & the MASSIVE Socio-Political Shifts to Expect in 2024 with Matt Goodwin
Matt Goodwin is a professor of politics at The School of Politics and International Relations at the University of Kent in Kent, UK. His writing and research primarily focus on radical right-wing politics and Euroscepticism in the British context. Amongst others, his writing has appeared in publications such as The Daily Mail, The Telegraph, The Guardian, and the Evening Standard. He also serves on the Social Mobility Commission via the British Department of Education.
Peter and Matt build upon their previous interview and discuss illegal immigration and its effects on society and politics. Matt predicts that mass migration will cause a political rightward shift and a severe backlash from the political left. Matt and Peter then discuss the consequences, including an increase in polarization as a result of the political tumult 2024 is likely to bring.

Yes, there is “a callous regard for evidence”… well said. 👏🏾
Two of my favorite "public intellectual" guys! This subject matter is so thoroughly depressing – how can countries w/the world's most powerful militaries (US & UK) not put them to work guarding the borders? Yes, I know…where there's no will, no way. (Peter, on a different subject: I remember you saying, I think to Andrew Gold, that you knew NOTHING about Israel/Palestine. I don't know much either, but have been trying to improve that. This article discusses the completely ignored, inconvenient reason for the "Palestinian problem": Why the Arab world hates Palestinians (and don't want them in their countries) https://besacenter.org/do-arabs-hate-palestinians/ )
