Donald Trump's second presidential term is less than a week old and everything already seems to be coming undone. American democracy might be at a breaking point. How did the far-right militia groups like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers gain influence with the help of government allies, posing a grave threat to national stability? Author and journalist David Neiwert joins the pod, and provides expert insight into the radical right's impact on our democratic experiment. The controversial pardoning of January 6th insurrectionists signals a disturbing breakdown of the rule of law, potentially paving the way for authoritarianism. As we all grapple with widespread radicalization across the nation, we discuss the historical connections between American elements of fascism, focusing on how these ideologies have been fanned into flames by Trump's rise, and how emboldened far-right militia groups might be America's undoing.Recommended:The Age of Insurrection: The Radical Right's Assault on American DemocracyAlt-America: The Rise of the Radical Right in the Age of Trump-------------------------Follow Deep Dive:BlueskyYouTube Email: deepdivewithshawn@gmail.com Music: Majestic Earth - Joystock

An interview with David Neiwert, author of The Age of Insurrection. In the book, Neiwert charts the rise of the far right's threats against American democracy.

Do you ever feel like American society is caught in limbo? The bardo-realm between two election cycles. The dial-up static between invasive social media and quarantine isolation. Stacking sandbags against the deluge of conspiracies and disinformation as we await the slow-motion countermeasures of science and the justice system. The disruptions of Trump, COVID, QAnon, conspirituality, and January 6 all still frame our everyday lives, even as we attempt a return to a normalcy that was always tenuous at best. Whatever happens over the next few months, the oven of 2024 looks preheated for chaos—yet, one by one, the treasonous conspiracy-mongering liars who peaked in 2020 are being forced to deal with cold legal consequences. Our guest today is award-winning journalist and author David Neiwert, whose book The Age of Insurrection explains how we got here—and points a way forward.

Happy Monday! Sam and Emma speak to freelance journalist David Neiwert to discuss his recent book The Age of Insurrection: The Radical Right's Assault on American Democracy. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Israel disempowering their Supreme Court, offensives in Moscow and Odessa, the recent Spanish elections, various labor actions across the country, Bernie's pursuit of government-developed pharmaceuticals, and environmental warming, also diving into Ron DeSantis' recent comments on Florida's new “lost cause” education around the “civilizing” nature slavery. David Neiwert then joins, parsing through his own history studying right-wing authoritarianism in the US, beginning with his childhood in Idaho, strong John Birch Society territory, before starting his work in journalism during the rise of white supremacist militias, the Aryan nation, and hate crimes over the 1970s and '80s, tackling the internal conflicts of addressing these subjects as a journalist, and why journalism must be rooted in public welfare. Moving forward, Neiwert tracks the evolution of right-wing extremist and white supremacist organizations over the Clinton and Bush administrations, leading up to the mobilizing event of Obama's (a black person's) election, before looking to the era of the Trump regime and the leadup to January 6th. After walking through the defining traits of right-wing authoritarian followers – namely submission aggression, and conventionalism – Neiwert, Sam, and Emma dive into the January 6th insurrection, the various narratives around it, and why it was no doubt a neo-fascist insurrection, before wrapping with 1/6's aftermath, and how the far-right has pivoted to localized, grassroots insurrections. And in the Fun Half: Mike Pence perfectly demonstrates how abortion exceptions aren't really exceptions at all, the MR Team basks in the glory of recent labor action with UPS and McDonalds, and Mehdi Hasan goes right after one of the major players behind Trump's child separation policy. Troy from Indiana discusses anti-woke attention-seeking in country music, Hope from Nevada dives into California's Proud Boys problem, and a libertarian from Oregon spews some genuine nonsense, plus, your calls and IMs Check out David's book here: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/720886/the-age-of-insurrection-by-david-neiwert/ Become a member at JoinTheMajorityReport.com: https://fans.fm/majority/join Subscribe to the ESVN YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/esvnshow Subscribe to the AMQuickie newsletter here: https://am-quickie.ghost.io/ Join the Majority Report Discord! http://majoritydiscord.com/ Get all your MR merch at our store: https://shop.majorityreportradio.com/ Get the free Majority Report App!: http://majority.fm/app Check out today's sponsors: Nutrafol: Take the first step to visibly thicker, healthier hair.

The strange and terrible tale of the far right's long war on American democracy . . . From a smattering of ominous right-wing compounds in the Pacific Northwest in the 1970s, to the shocking January 6, 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, America has seen the culmination of a long-building war on democracy being waged by a fundamentally violent and antidemocratic far-right movement that unironically calls itself the "Patriot" movement. So how did we get here? Award-winning journalist David Neiwert — who been following the rise of these extremist groups since the late 1970s, when he was a young reporter in Idaho — explores how the movement was built over decades, how it was set aflame by Donald Trump and his cohorts, and how it will continue to attack American democracy for the foreseeable future. Neiwert especially studies how the Pacific Northwest has long been a breeding ground of extremist violence, from the time when neo-nazis migrated to the area from southern California in the 1970s, through the great battles in Portland and Seattle and neighboring towns over the last decade.  Laying out how these groups organize their terroristic violence and attacks on democratic institutions at every level—including local, state, and federal targets—Neiwert details what their strategies and plans look like for the foreseeable future.David Neiwert is an award-winning investigative journalist and the author of several books, including Red Pill, Blue Pill: How to Counteract the Conspiracy Theories that are Killing Us (Prometheus 2020), Alt-America: The Rise of the Radical Right in the Age of Trump (Verso 2017), Of Orcas and Men: What Killer Whales Can Teach Us (Overlook 2016), and And Hell Followed With Her: Crossing the Dark Side of the American Border (Nation Books 2013). Buy the book from Wellington Square Bookshop - ​https://wellingtonsquarebooks.indiecommerce.com/book/9781685890360

In this episode host Michael Shields and David Neiwert get to the bottom of exactly how dangerous the radical right is at this juncture of American history. They break down the components of Trump's Army while pondering how extremism has gone mainstream in a variety of ways. They talk about Steve Bannon's role in spreading authoritarianism internationally, how the police have been infiltrated by the radical right, how organized the alt-right attacks are on democratic institutions at every level including local, state, and federal targets, and so much more.

According to David Neiwert, from right-wing compounds in the Pacific Northwest in the 1970s, to the shocking January 6, 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, America has seen the culmination of a long-building war on democracy being waged by a fundamentally violent and antidemocratic far-right movement that unironically calls itself the "Patriot" movement.

The one where we talk with Journalist and Author David Neiwert about his 35 years of covering the Radical Right, Eliminationist rhetoric, and how the old playbook hasn't changed much.Here are some of the sources we used, as well as more information on some of the subjects we discussed:Richard Mack - Constitutional SheriffsChris Rufo on Curtis "Mencius Moldbug" YarvinThe Stranger, Seattle's Hometown Newspaper, on Chris Rufo's withdrawal from the City Council raceBill Morlin -- How journalists should cover hate and hate groupsA&E Forensic Files episode on the Phineas Priesthood with Bill MorlinDead Kennedys - Nazi Punks Fuck OffDavid Neiwert on Louis Beam“This was explicitly laid out by one of these leaders, a man named Louis Beam, who was a top lieutenant in the Aryan Nations organization in northern Idaho. Writing in his magazine The Seditionist, in an essay titled, “Leaderless Resistance,” he advocated the formation of independent cells of militias that could spring into action when needed. And he encouraged “lone wolf” attacks by violent believers – attacks that would undermine public confidence in the ability of a democratic society to keep them safe and secure.”"Lone Wolves Connected Online" - New York Times article on Louis BeamThe Kehoe Brothers "Of Orcas and Men", David's "whale book"“In Of Orcas and Men, a marvelously compelling mix of cultural history, environmental reporting, and scientific research, David Neiwert explores how this extraordinary species has come to capture our imaginations--and the catastrophic environmental consequences of that appeal. In the tradition of Barry Lopez's classic Of Wolves and Men, David Neiwert's book is a powerful tribute to one of the animal kingdom's most remarkable members.”This is our current events recap program, where we offer our takes on what's going on at the bleeding edge of the information war.

David Neiwert is an investigative journalist. He is the author of numerous books including Alt-America: The Rise of the Radical Right in the Age of Trump, The Eliminationists: How Hate Talk Radicalized the American Right, and Red Pill, Blue Pill: How to Counteract the Conspiracy Theories That Are Killing Us. His forthcoming book is The Age of Insurrection: The Radical Right's Assault on American Democracy. Neiwert warns that there is a high potential for right-wing violence in response to the midterms and beyond. He also explains how the Republican fascists and larger white right have been planning their attempt to end American democracy in plain sight for decades – and that the Age of Trump and this escalating democracy crisis should not be a surprise. And he reflects on what it feels like to have been sounding the alarm about American neofascism and the violent extremism of the American right-wing for decades and to not have been listened to. David Rothkopf is the CEO of The Rothkopf group. He was also a senior official in the Clinton Administration and CEO and editor-in-chief of Foreign Policy Magazine. He is the author of many books and articles including the new book American Resistance: The Inside Story of How the Deep State Saved the Nation. Rothkopf is a frequent contributor to such leading news media outlets as The Washington Post, The New York Times, Financial Times, Time, CNN, and Newsweek. Rothkopf is also the host of the podcast Deep State Radio. David Rothkopf explains why being calm and focused is necessary to defeat the Republican fascists and the larger white right's attempt to end American democracy. In the end, panic is a recipe for disaster – and is exactly what the Republican fascists and their forces want to create among the American people. He warns that voter turnout and mobilization are one of the few ways to stop the Republican fascists and their campaign against American democracy during the 2022 midterms and beyond. And Rothkopf reflects on what he learned from his time in the Clinton administration and why there can be no compromise with today's Republican fascists and why doing so is to surrender and betray American democracy and freedom.

On June 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court ignored decades of settled precedent about abortion access and women's health care in a sweeping decision that rolled back the court's 1973 decision Roe v. Wade. The new ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization is the culmination of decades of anti-abortion activism. Clarence Thomas, one of the reactionary justices who joined in the new 6-3 ruling, signaled in a concurring opinion that he aims to overturn the Supreme Court's decisions protecting the rights to contraception, private consensual sex acts, and the right for people to marry someone else of the same sex. “We have a duty to ‘correct the error' established in those precedents,” Thomas wrote. “Accordingly, we should eliminate it from our jurisprudence at the earliest opportunity.” No other justices formally signed onto Thomas's opinion, but it's critical to note that the Dobbs ruling and all of the other recent SCOTUS decisions are part of a much larger political and legal movement that is extremely radical and extremely influential. Since the rise of Donald Trump, many people have become aware of right-wing extremism, but what you might not know is that the radical right is actually far more powerful in the Republican party, especially at the state and local levels of government. Joining us to discuss this is David Neiwert, he's a senior staff writer at Daily Kos and also the author of a number of books including “Red Pill, Blue Pill: How to Counteract the Conspiracy Theories That Are Killing Us.” He's also a long-time analyst for the Southern Poverty Law Center.

It's an all-Idaho episode today! First we get a briefing from Redoubt AFA about the fascist shennanigans that led up to Patriot Front getting mass-arrested at Couer d'Alene Pride earlier this month. Then we talk to independent reporter Alissa Azar, who was on the ground in Cour d'Alene for the event and got some of the best footage of Patriot Front getting mass-arrested. Then we give a rundown on the two large adult sons of Christian fascist leader Matt Shea's right hand man who got caught participating with Patriot Front. Lastly, we're talking to veteran journalist David Neiwert, who's giving us a deep-dive on the groups threatening Couer d'Alene Pride-goers and the deep roots of hate in the Pacific Northwest.SHOW NOTES:Our reporting trip fundraiserTickets for Rock Against RacismVideo of Pahandle PatriotsAlissa's linktreeAlissa's Cour d'Alene threadShea's statementThe weird Buster standup routine at churchNeiwert's latest book, Red Pill, Blue Pill Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

In this episode of extremely, Oren Segal speaks with David Neiwert, investigative journalist, and author of, “Alt-America: The Rise of the Radical Right in the Age of Trump.” David, who has been reporting on extremism for decades, provides his insight into the evolution of anti-democratic movements in the U.S. and how it culminated with the January 6th insurrection.In addition to describing how he made extremism reporting a beat, David argues that to truly understand the impact of extremism on communities, media needs to “interview the people who are afraid to even raise their heads in their towns and who feel frightened and intimidated by this wave of thuggery that this tide of right-wing extremism has unleashed in their communities.”You can follow David on Twitter @DavidNeiwertStay engaged and follow along for more on Twitter at @OrenSegal @ADL and @PERIL_AU

Download the episode With a large right wing protest planned for the Capitol Campus this weekend (Saturday, March 5), it is a good time to check in with David Neiwert. David is the expert on far right militants in the Pacific Northwest. We talked to him in 2020, and this episode takes off where that one left off. He gives us an update on what has been going on with right wing militants and protest groups and what we can expect this weekend. Episode 66: Who are the people with guns David Neiwert at Daily Kos David is an author of several books, but my favorite remains "Death on the Fourth of July."

Political polling is all over the place this week, and things have already changed a lot since last week. We'll explain what's going on - and what is actually real. Tucker Carlson is out with a new documentary where he tries to rewrite the history of what actually happened on January 6th. Daily Kos contributor and author David Neiwert will help us break down this disturbing new production. What you are missing on the Member Show this week: Donald Trump keeps hinting at a third run for the White House, and it already looks like he would be a lock for the nomination if he were to enter the race. Salon.com contributor Chauncey DeVega will be here to explain what could happen if Trump gets back into the White House, and why it would be incredibly dangerous for the country.

Join us as we continue our conversation with David Neiwert, one of the nation's leading experts on extremist cultures. We talk in more depth about his recent publication, "Red Pill, Blue Pill," specifically the relationship between conspiracism and authoritarianism, and how our current epistemic crisis poses a threat to democratic governance. Join us if you're interested in concrete steps that individuals can take to counteract the red-pilling effect, the importance of empathy as an antidote to radicalization, and why killer whales are natural counterparts to humans (and Jedi!).

Join us as we chat with David Neiwert, one of the nation's leading experts on extremist cultures. Part one of our conversation covers his early career as journalist reporting on militias and how this evolved into an expertise on extremist cultures. We focus on two of his books, "The Eliminationists" and "Alt-America," in which he argues that the mediatization of extremism has transformed these ideologies into pathological contagions that motivate individuals into psychopathic behaviors. We also begin to discuss his most recent publication, "Red Pill, Blue Pill." Tune in to learn more about white nationalism and extremism, our current conspiracist historical moment, and how “transmitters” pose a serious threat to democracies around the globe.

On March 4th, Qanon adherents will flock to D.C. to support what they believe will be Trump's “true inauguration.” The March 4th date is a Sovereign Citizen conspiracy that dovetails with followers anticipation of “the storm.” Trump, on-brand, has increased the prices for his hotel stay for this date. In this episode journalist, OG Glitterpill member, & friend David Neiwert and I talk about how conspiracy theories operate, the harms they cause, the role journalists can play in reducing their circulation. We also discuss how a trans allegory in a popular 90's film mutated to a far right recruitment mechanism.

This week, we're joined by David Neiwert, the author of Red Pill, Blue Pill: How to Counteract the Conspiracy Theories That Are Killing Us, to talk about the heartbreak of losing a loved one to the QAnon cult--or down similar rabbit holes--and why it's so difficult to bring them back to the real world. This is something that social psychologists really need to figure out, because these conspiracy theories are ripping our society apart.    And then we welcome Rep. John Sarbanes (D-MD) to tell us about the comprehensive package of democratic reforms that he introduced in Congress, H.R. 1, the For The People Act. We talk about what this much-needed bill would do, and how he hopes his colleagues in the Senate might get it passed in the narrowly divided upper chamber.   PlaylistMaggie Lindemann: "Knife Under My Pillow"Jack Sheldon: "I'm Just a Bill"Sam Roberts Band: "All of Us"

Sono state ore convulse e complicate quelle che hanno seguito il voto in Georgia. Gruppi di manifestanti pro Trump hanno fatto irruzione, alcuni armati, all'interno del complesso di Capitol Hill, dove il Congresso era riunito per certificare l'elezione di Joe Biden. Ne abbiamo parlato con Marco Valsania (corrispondente del Sole 24Ore a New York), Marta Dassù (direttore di Aspenia e Senior Advisor, European Affairs, The Aspen Institute), David Neiwert (giornalista, autore di "Alt-America- L'ascesa della destra radicale nell'era di Trump", pubblicato da minimum fax), e Joe Imperatrice (sergente del NYPD, portavoce di Blue Lives Matter).

After trawling the depths of Pig Empire history to understand the root causes of fascism in capitalist, western “democratic” societies, our dynamic podcasting duo take a look at the modern era and till the fertile soil of Islamophobia and reactionary American politics to ask a simple but important question – would the American fascism movement we know as Trumpism today, have happened even if Trump had never been born?

"Arguably the biggest problem with living in a time of rising fascism is figuring out how to define and most importantly identify fascist movements when fascists, and fascist leaders aren't exactly known for their honesty - especially when it comes to answering the question, "hey buddy, are you guys fascists?" In this episode, our intrepid hosts Nick and Nina hash out a back-of-the-napkin identification method by looking at the lowest common denominator "beliefs" found in virtually all fascist movements, in the broadest possible sense. Encompassing the work of historians, scholars and psychologists, the No Fugazi crew takes a deep dive into what we've jokingly taken to calling, the Crass Psychology of Fascism."

È una teoria del complotto? È un'ideologia? È uno strumento di consenso? È una setta? Secondo esperti di comunicazione e debunker che hanno assistito alla sua incredibile ascesa nell'arco di pochi mesi, QAnon è tutto questo, e anche molto di più: è diventato un ombrello sotto il quale si raccolgono tutte le cospirazioni possibili e, allo stesso tempo, una tendenza politica con la quale fare i conti alle prossime elezioni americane. Ne abbiamo parlato con Mario Del Pero, docente di Storia della politica estera americana a SciencePo, Adrienne LaFrance, caporedattrice di "The Atlantic", e David Neiwert, giornalista e autore di "Red pill, Blue pill: how to counteract the conspiracy theories that are killing us".

David Neiwert has researched the U.S. far-right since the 1990s. In this episode, David talks to the Cola Corporation about his new book, "Red Pill, Blue Pill: How to Counteract the Conspiracy Theories That Are Killing Us." www.thecolacorporation.com

WNBA players link arms in protest for justice for Breonna Taylor. Photo by Seattle Storm on Twitter On this show: 0:08 – On “Mondays with Mitch,” we talk about the Trump and Biden campaigns coming out of the conventions, as well as chances of new Covid-19 economic relief from Congress. California is set to begin disbursing $300/week in additional unemployment benefits, a reduction from the $600/week that workers previously received. Mitch Jeserich hosts Letters and Politics, weekdays at 10 on KPFA. 0:34 – The CDC issued new guidance recommending against testing people who have been exposed to Covid-19 but are asymptomatic — scientists say this is deeply concerning and completely contravenes what we know about how the deadly virus spreads. John Swartzberg, clinical professor emeritus of infectious diseases at UC Berkeley's School of Public Health, joins us to talk about this and take listener calls about the virus. 1:08 – A 17-year-old pro-authoritarian Trump supporter shot dead two protesters last week in Kenosha, Wisconsin and wounded a third. Why didn't law enforcement intervene to stop him? And how much worse will far-right violence become, as vigilantes find encouragement from Donald Trump and permission from law enforcement? We talk with two guests: David Neiwert is an investigative journalist tracking far-right movements in the Pacific Northwest. His most recent book is Alt-America: The Rise of the Radical Right in the Age of Trump. Michael German is a fellow with the Brennan Center for Justice and a former special agent with the FBI who infiltrated far-right groups; he just authored a report called Hidden in Plain Sight: Racism, White Supremacy, and Far-Right Militancy in Law Enforcement 1:34 – The professonal sports world erupted last week when athletes began launching wildcat strikes, led by Black women athletes in the WNBA. We talk about their longtime leadership on racial justice with Amira Rose Davis (@mirarose88), Assistant Professor of History and African American Studies at Penn State, focusing on race, sports, and politics. She is also co-host of the feminist sports podcast, Burn it All Down.  1:51 – This past weekend, tens of thousands attended a rally in Washington, D.C. on the 57th anniversary of the March on Washington. KPFA's Kate Iida (@kiida26) reports.   The post Black women in the WNBA are leading athletes in wildcat strikes and calls for racial justice. Also — How law enforcement enables deadly far-right violence in Kenosha, Portland, and across the U.S. appeared first on KPFA.

Recently in Olympia, we've been experiencing an intimidating culture shock that have left many wondering: who are the people with guns? To answer this question, we interview David Neiwert, a journalist and author who has followed far right extremist movements in the Pacific Northwest for decades. We talked about who these groups are, why they are here, and what we can do as a community.Download this episode

David Neiwert is an investigative journalist based in Seattle and a contributing writer for the Southern Poverty Law Center. He is the author of numerous books including Alt-America: The Rise of the Radical Right in the Age of Trump, The Eliminationists: How Hate Talk Radicalized the American Right, Of Orcas and Men: What Killer Whales Can Teach Us, and Over the Cliff: How Obama's Election Drove the American Right Insane.  Neiwert explains how Trump's fake “anti-lockdown” “protests” are the latest iteration of the so-called Tea Party Movement which viciously harassed President Obama and laid the foundations for Donald Trump and his neo-fascist movement. Neiwert warns that although many of the players in the right-wing Tea Party grift are the same as Trump's anti-pandemic public health “protests” they are now even more energized and dangerous because of the more prominent role now being played by white right-wing militias and terrorist groups in the Age of Trump. He also decodes how the guns, Nazi insignia and other regalia -- and yes, the Hawaiian shirts being worn at Trump's fake protests in Michigan and across the country -- are threats of violence and a 2nd American civil war in the form of the “boogaloo”. Chauncey DeVega shares more examples of Donald Trump and his right-wing death cult's urgings that people should be willing to sacrifice their lives for “the economy”. Chauncey also highlights how history may not repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme as seen through how Trump's pandemic death cult sounds very similar to the eugenics program of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. And Chauncey DeVega continues to share public health advice about the pandemic. This week's alert: scientists and other researchers are warning that the vile disease can potentially be transmitted through sex. How? The pandemic may be hiding in men's testicles.

This is an encore presentation.

This is an encore presentation. Until a few decades ago, the killer whales of the Puget Sound were frequently captured by the dozen and sold for entertainment at marine parks across the U.S. Today, these incredible creatures are the subject of new protections, and increased scientific inquiry. But their waters remain under threat. Pollution and marine traffic continue to wraek havoc, and orcas’ ability to thrive is still very much in doubt.

There are two guests on this week's episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show.  Bandy Lee is a professor at the Yale School of Medicine and one of the principle editors of the New York Times bestseller The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President.  She continues to warn the public about how Donald Trump's mental health is a threat to world peace, how his fake "national emergency" is an extension of his apparent mental illnesses, explains the knot of symbiotic pathology that ties him and his supporters together, and how sick societies produce sick leaders. David Neiwert also stops by the virtual bar and salon. He is an investigative journalist based in Seattle and a contributing writer for the Southern Poverty Law Center. He is the author of numerous books including the new Alt-America: The Rise of the Radical Right in the Age of Trump, The Eliminationists: How Hate Talk Radicalized the American Right, Of Orcas and Men: What Killer Whales Can Teach Us, and Over the Cliff: How Obama's Election Drove the American Right Insane.  David highlights how America's police have been working with the so-called "alt-right" white supremacists and other hate mongers against Antifa and other freedom fighters, why right-wing militias are not up in arms--literally--against Donald Trump and his "national emergency", and how there will be more violence from Trump and his MAGAites.  On this week's show, Chauncey DeVega shares a story about how Trump's vile regime views nonwhite babies and children as being "disposable". How? By placing them in concentration camps located on toxic waste dumps.  Serendipity of the worst type: after Chauncey talked with David Neiwert we learned that a white supremacist neo Nazi who is an officer in the U.S. Coast Guard was planning to commit mass murder inspired by and as directed by his leader Donald Trump.  SELECTED LINKS OF INTEREST FOR THIS EPISODE OF THE CHAUNCEY DEVEGA SHOW  The Trump Administration Wants to Detain Migrant Kids at Toxic Waste Sites  Coast Guard Officer Accused of Racist Mass-Murder Plot, Kept ‘Hit List' of Democrats and MSNBC Hosts  Hate groups reach record high  MSNBC guest: FBI often calls white supremacist violence "hate crimes" instead of "terrorism," diverting resources from enforcement   Fox News has spent years promoting claims of a “coup” against Donald Trump IF YOU ENJOYED THIS WEEK'S SHOW YOU MAY LIKE THESE EPISODES OF THE CHAUNCEY DEVEGA SHOW AS WELL Ep. 205: Psychiatrist Bandy Lee Warns That Donald Trump is Delusional and Living in His Own Reality  Ep. 210: Donald Trump is Responsible for the Pittsburgh Synagogue Massacre and the "MAGA Bomber"  Ep. 178: Donald Trump is the Leader of a Political Cult  Ep. 173: Bandy Lee Continues to Warn the World About Donald Trump's Mental Health  Ep. 152: Lance Dodes Warns That Donald Trump is Sociopathic WHERE CAN YOU FIND ME?

David Neiwert is an American freelance journalist (Mother Jones, Washington Post, The Baffler and more), the recipient of the National Press Club Award for Distinguished Online Journalism in 2000 for a domestic terrorism series he produced for MSNBC. David's work can also be found on SPLC's Hate Watch. David is the author of several books. His latest, "Alt-America: the Rise of the Radical Right in the age of Trump is vital reading. David Neiwart is the go-to regarding right-wing extremist information.

David Neiwert is an investigative journalist based in Seattle and a contributing writer for the Southern Poverty Law Center. He is the author of numerous books including the new Alt-America: The Rise of the Radical Right in the Age of Trump, The Eliminationists: How Hate Talk Radicalized the American Right, Of Orcas and Men: What Killer Whales Can Teach Us, Over the Cliff: How Obama's Election Drove the American Right Insane. David and Chauncey discuss how Donald Trump, the Republican Party, and the right-wing hate media instigate violence such as what took place last week in Pittsburgh, the "MAGA Bomber", and the hate crime killing of 2 elderly black people in Louisville. David also details the various elements of the so-called "alt-right" and how its white supremacist politics are central to the violence inspired by Donald Trump. In addition, David explains the role (and dangers) of "scripted violence" and "eliminationist" language used by today's conservatives against their fellow Americans and the intentional violence which occurs as a result. David and Chauncey also issue a warning: there will only be more violence as directed and encouraged by Donald Trump and his allies if the Democrats win control of the House of Representatives in next week's midterm elections. During this week's podcast Chauncey "connects the dots" about the sensationalistic violence of Trump's "MAGA Bomber" to the barbarism of the mass murder which took place at Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh. Chauncey also offers a new concept for listeners of the podcast: America is a "pathocracy". Chauncey again asks, "what are the American people going to do?" in the face of Donald Trump and the right-wing movement's fascist violence against them.

 "Dehumanisation is the essential program of the radical right." David Neiwert believes that the so-called “alt-right” of right-wing populists in America has been born of a toxic mix of factors: mainstream conservatives unifying with the racist far-right; a young, media-savvy generation of online white supremacists, and forces in the right-wing media feeding hostility. Throw in the historical strains of xenophobia, racism, misogyny and resentment, and you've got yourself a cultural phenomenon. David Neiwert, author of Alt-America: the Rise of the Radical Right in the Age of Trump, examines the growth of extremist groups, their influence on Trump politics, and how we can work for positive change in a world that trades on sensationalism. He was with The New York Times Australian bureau chief, Damian Cave at ANTIDOTE 2018. Watch David in Fringe-Dwellers and Fanatics.  

Like the proverbial overnight sensation that actually took years, the roots of Donald Trump’s alt-right America stretch back to the 1990s, to patriot militias, white supremacists and Tea Party activists. Emboldened by right-wing media, they found a common object of loathing in the first black president. Their unlikely messiah was a controversial property developer and reality TV star, but is Trump really an ideologue? Investigative journalist David Neiwert has tracked US extremists for more than two decades. He talks with Listener journalist Paul Thomas about the result: Alt-America: The Rise of the Radical Right in the Time of Trump. Presented by the New Zealand Listener and supported by the Christchurch City Council Sister Cities Programme.

A white supremacist holding a US flag over his face during a Unite the Right rally in Washington in August. Michael Reynolds/EPAThe rise of the radical right-wing movement in the US has become closely linked to Donald Trump’s presidency and the mainstreaming of ideas about race that were not so long ago found only on the furthest fringes of society. David Neiwert’s new book, Alt-America: The Rise of the Radical Right in the Age of Trump, charts the key political and social moments that have shaped these movements. He has spent more than two decades immersing himself in the strange, disturbing world of radical right-wing groups in the US, which are characterised by conspiracy theories unhinged from reality and a growing tendency to espouse violence against liberals as a solution to the world’s problems. Alt-America: The Rise of the Radical Right in the Age of Trump. Verso Books While many of the ideas championed by these groups are similar those propagated by the Ku Klux Klan of the past, the new radical right-wing groups have benefited from the internet and social media. This allows them to easily communicate their perceived grievances to a new generation of followers, predominantly young men. In some ways, this provides for a degree of anonymity, as well. Some of the more violent, racist and often misogynist views are promulgated by these groups online with little personal social cost. What is most concerning, and what Neiwert demonstrates in detail throughout the book, is the way in which the mainstream news media, in particular Fox News, has become a forum for mainstreaming some of these ideas about racial superiority, fuelling political division and partisanship. With the election of Trump, these once marginalised groups now have a clear figurehead – one who promotes their wild, and sometimes dangerous, conspiracy theories to the world. Neiwert’s book delves deep into the anxieties these people feel about their status in a changing and complex world. Issues like immigration, changing race relations, women’s rights and economic stagnation have all fuelled a desire to find someone to blame. When this is mixed with a pervasive gun culture, the result is a highly volatile mix of anger, paranoia and violence. Investigative journalist David Neiwert. Author provided The consequences have been deeply disturbing. Political rallies that end in frenzied screams of “lock her up”, alt-right rallies that result in death, and the growing toll of mass shootings that are disproportionately carried out by offenders influenced by the alt-right are a sign that something fundamentally twisted and nasty is colonising mainstream American politics.

Investigative journalist and Northwest correspondent for the Southern Poverty Law Center, David Neiwert has been covering the radical right-wing for decades. In Alt-America: The Rise of the Radical Right in the Age of Trump (Verso, 2017), Neiwert takes his years of experience to chronicle the rise of what is now known as the “Alt Right,” and how it contributed to the election of Donald Trump to the White House. Neiwert shows how the militia movement of the 1990s, the anti-immigrant Minutemen of the 2000s and the Tea Party that surged in 2010 all led to the “Alt Right.” Neiwert also discusses the Alt Right’s relationship with domestic terrorism, from the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing to the 2015 Charleston church massacre. The book also explores the far right’s attraction to conspiracy theories, going back to Henry Ford’s promotion of the “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.” Neiwert considers radical right is fundamentally authoritarian and anti-democratic, and considers the question often asked about fascism in America: Can it happen here?

Show #192 | Guest: Dave Neiwert | Show Summary: Just as Donald Trump’s victorious campaign for the US presidency shocked the world, the seemingly sudden national prominence of white supremacists, xenophobes, militia leaders, and mysterious “alt-right” figures mystifies many. But the American extreme right has been growing steadily in number and influence since the 1990s with the rise of patriot militias. In Alt-America: The Rise of the Radical Right in the Age of Trump, investigative reporter David Neiwert looks into the phenomenon and its ringmasters. Following 9/11, conspiracy theorists found fresh life; and in virulent reaction to the first black US president, militant racists have come out of the woodwork. Nurtured by a powerful right-wing media sector in radio, TV, and online, the far right, Tea Party movement conservatives, and Republican activists found common ground. Figures such as Stephen Bannon, Milo Yiannopoulos, and Alex Jones, once rightly dismissed as cranks, now haunt the reports of mainstream journalism. Neiwert has been tracking extremists for more than two decades. In Alt-America, he provides a deeply researched and authoritative report on the growth of fascism and far-right terrorism, the violence of which in the last decade has surpassed anything inspired by Islamist or other ideologies in the United States.

North Korea's nuclear program is racing forward. The regime tested a Pukguksong-2 missile on Sunday and leader Kim Jong-Un made a big show of ordering the missiles into mass production. Ankit Panda, host of the podcast The Diplomat, joins Lindsay Beyerstein to talk about North Korea's nuclear strategy. Mainstream media pundits often portray Korean leadership as erratic and irrational, but Kim's nuclear strategy is anything but haphazard, Panda says. What kind of nuclear conflict is North Korea envisioning? What can their arsenal already do? The Trump administration has promised a new approach to North Korea, but officials have struggled to articulate what that means. Is the era of “Strategic Patience” really over?

There’s no getting around the fact that the alt-right has come out of the shadows to fully embrace Trump as their candidate. From Steve Bannon to David Duke, controversial support did not wait long to rush to Trump's side. It’s clear that for many “make America great again” may just mean to make America white again. To help us get to the root of this unprecedented following Trump has produced, we welcome author and award-winning journalist and blogger, David Neiwert.   Neiwert is an expert on the radical right and a correspondent for the anti-hate group the Southern Poverty Law Center. He most recently coauthored an award-winning piece in Mother Jones titled, "How Trump Took Hate Groups Mainstream." Neiwert and coauthor Sarah Posner have thoroughly tracked Trump's social media engagement with the white nationalist movement from the start of his campaign. Neiwert suggests that while we can’t know for certain how many of these alt-right ideals are ones Trump personally adheres to, he undoubtedly shares alt-right rhetoric that has enticed a strength in the white nationalism movement we haven't seen in decades.   Sarah Posner also appeared on Point of Inquiry last year in Sarah Posner: Trump, Carson and the Religious Right in 2016.  

In the wake of the election, it is time to listen to one another and to believe the specific testimonies people offer. It is also time to bear witness to God's love of the stranger and the vulnerable in the face of authoritarian white supremacists who have for so long lived in the shadows but now believe this is their moment.
