Podcasts about Extremism

A small Illinois town took on the Proud Boys after a blatant recruitment billboard appeared near a high school. This segment dissects the audacity of extremist groups feeling emboldened enough to openly recruit and the critical importance of local communities pushing back against hate and fascism. It highlights how hate groups exploit societal anxieties and strategically infiltrate local politics, raising questions about corporate responsibility in platforming such dangerous ideologies. This local victory proves that grassroots efforts can, and must, challenge the normalization of bigotry eroding our society.News Source: Community Outcry Forces Proud Boys Billboard Removal in Illinois By Hunter Basler and Holden Ker Wiki for Katie Askey, local news August 19th, 2025 

Well before a suspect was named and arrested, right-wingers (including President Trump) were blaming The Left and using Charlie Kirk's assassination to excuse a new Civil War against their political opponents.VIDEO of this presentation.Seth's recent SUBSTACK on the Charlie Kirk murderBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/thethinkingatheist--3270347/support.

The internet was supposed to connect us — instead it's breeding fanatics, conspiracy junkies, and digital cults. In this episode, Yannis dives into how algorithms, isolation, and endless scrolling can turn regular people into keyboard crusaders and true believers. From basement forums to TikTok rabbit holes, he unpacks the weird ways extremism spreads online, why young people are especially vulnerable, and how the culture of outrage has become its own form of entertainment. With his trademark mix of sharp comedy and cultural commentary, Yannis explores how social media is creating “radicalization on demand,” what it says about our society, and why your cousin who once just loved Star Wars might now be quoting obscure manifestos in the group chat. It's serious, it's funny, it's a little scary — and it's exactly the kind of conversation only Yannis can have.

In the past few years, we have witnessed a frightening spiral of political violence. We've seen the killing of Charlie Kirk; the killing of Brian Thompson, the health insurance executive; the assassination of a Minnesota House Speaker and her husband; the shooting of a Minnesota state senator and his wife; several attempted assassinations of Donald Trump; an attack on Nancy Pelosi's home and husband; a plot to kidnap the governor of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer; and calls to lynch Vice President Mike Pence on January 6. As The Atlantic's Adrienne LaFrance writes, this is looking to be "an age of assassinations." LaFrance, the executive editor of The Atlantic, has written tens of thousands of words, including cover stories for the magazine, on the history of political violence in the U.S. Today, we talk about media coverage of political violence before getting to the hardest question: How can America survive a period of mass delusion, deep division, and political violence without seeing the permanent dissolution of the ties that bind us?

Takfeer: Between Extremism & NegligenceLesson #5The categories of People Regarding TakfeerThe first category: The Khawarij and those who follow their way.They go to extremes by declaring Muslims disbelievers for committing major sins.The Prophet ﷺ described them as people who kill Muslims but leave idol-worshippers.Historically, the Khawārij have never fought disbelievers, only Muslims. Their error comes from ignorance and misuse of the evidence.They are not just a past group; their ideology appears in every age.Muslims are warned to stay away from them, protect their children from their ideas, and instead study authentic books of Aqeedah written by reliable scholars.

From the sovereign citizen movement to vaccine conspiracy theories, extreme beliefs are on the rise, and they can make family gatherings super uncomfortable. Why do sensible people fall for irrational ideas? And can we challenge these ideas without alienating the people who hold them?

Nick Cohen and Sunder Katwala engage in a detailed discussion about the rise of right-wing extremism in Britain, analysing rabid right rabble-rousers like Nigel Farage and examining how his evolving stance and ambiguous approach appeal to both mainstream voters and extreme elements. They explored the current political climate, focusing on the challenges faced by mainstream conservative parties and the need for addressing legitimate concerns about immigration while drawing clear boundaries against racist ideologies. The conversation concluded with discussions about the fragmented state of British politics, the need for a coherent centre-right party, and the challenges faced by political leaders in navigating complex social and cultural issues.Nick & Sunder discuss the rise of right-wing extremism in Britain, comparing current political figures like Nigel Farage to historical fascists. Sunder expresses concern about the right setting the agenda and the dominance of emotional arguments over factual evidence. However, he remained optimistic about the long-term progress of British society, drawing on his personal experiences of racial and cultural diversity.Sunder says "we are under policing absolute fascism and racism. Elon Musk has brought it in and what [Steve] Bannon and Trump did is they said there will be no boundary between the respectful right and the racist." Sunder says the sinister issue of so-called "re-migration" - in other words expelling ethnic minority Brits - will eventually do for the rabid right, saying, "There's immigration there's asylum. And these are tough issues in the centre left, but remotion, which is, you know, more people should leave them come in and re migration is a far right code ultimately for the people who really want to hear the word Remi.It's about, you know, Sunder Katwala shouldn't been allowed to be born here. So if he was, let's get him out.... Okay. It's not gonna happen. But about from kick out the ethnic minority." Hope can still beat hate For all its problems, and the ranting of the right, Sunder argues the UK still has a lot going for it as a tolerant and diverse society, saying ":Britain is the most Successful multi-ethnic democracy in the western world. It's a generation ahead of Western Europe." Overall, Sunder has a message of hope after a summer of far right race-baiting, demagoguery and even predictions of civil war: "It was a very sinister, silly season. We had people predicting civil war every weekend and it never quite erupting; Farage setting the asylum debate."It's felt like it's going backwards for a couple of years. We can and will reverse that...And you know, if people are making impossible promises to give us sort of fantasy politics that if you quit three more international treaties, your lives will be better. Let's make the opposite case."Read all about it!Sunder Katwala @sundersays is a director of the British Future think tank and a former general secretary of the Fabian Society.

America's young men are lost. At least, that's what they're telling us online. From feeling disconnected in school, relationships, and even purpose, to loneliness, our nation's boys are turning to the internet for answers and guidance. And that's where they find the “manosphere”: a world of influencers promoting strength, stoicism… and often, misogyny. “Extremely Normal," a new investigative series by USA TODAY's National Correspondent Will Carless examines how extremist and fringe ideas and movements have moved into America's mainstream. He joins us on USA TODAY's The Excerpt to dive into one part of “Extremely Normal”: The “manosphere.” What is it and how can it devolve from ideas about fitness and discipline into something darker? Will stepped into the manosphere space to see what teenage boys and young men in their 20s are consuming online – and to understand how it's shaping their world view.You can watch Will's full video on this topic here.Please let us know what you think of this episode by sending a note to podcasts@usatoday.com.Episode transcript available here.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Lubna Zaidi joins The Winston Marshall Show for a fearless conversation on Islam in Britain, extremism, and the cultural crisis tearing the UK apart.From her rise as a YouTuber after The Apprentice to becoming a lightning rod for controversy, Lubna explains why she began calling out her own community for failing to integrate, excusing extremism, and protecting grooming gangs. She describes the backlash—death threats, intimidation, and even people turning up at her home—simply for speaking uncomfortable truths.They discuss the silence of so-called moderates, the dominance of extremist voices online, and the dangerous culture of denial around honour-based violence and child exploitation. Lubna warns that Britain is importing “hillbillies” from Pakistan without vetting, fuelling parallel societies that reject British values and put the country's future at risk.All this—grooming gangs, intimidation, failed integration, extremist apologists, and one woman's fight to tell the truth about what's really happening inside Britain's Pakistani Muslim community…Subscribe to Lubna's channel HERE: https://www.youtube.com/@Lubna.Candid-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapter 00:00 Introduction 01:21 Lubna Zaidi's Background and Journey to YouTube 04:00 Speaking Out: Breaking Points and Community Reactions 09:15 Cultural Clashes and Personal Experiences in the UK 19:24 Community Psychology and Reluctance to Address Issues 22:41 Pakistani Migration and Social Dynamics in the UK 27:18 Identity, Integration, and Celebrating Independence 31:18 Online Influencers and Community Representation 34:06 Religion, British Values, and Integration Challenges 40:19 India-Pakistan Tensions in the UK 47:10 Civil Unrest, Protests, and Fears of Division 51:36 Luton: Changes, Extremism, and Personal Encounters 56:13 Tommy Robinson: Perceptions and Changing Views 58:51 Patriotism, Self-Reflection, and the Israel-Palestine Conflict 01:02:09 Final Thoughts Hosted on Acast.

Following recent tragic events in Melbourne, the "sovereign citizen" movement has re-entered the public spotlight.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The process of demoralization and destabilization, as it has been nearly completed in the United States, has not fully spread to other parts of the civilized world. Countries like Japan are protected by vast stretches of ocean, a very strong societal expectation of cultural values, and a historical conservatism of the strictest magnitude. Recently, politically right groups have been calling to reform the Japanese political landscape, as has the political left. Both appear to desire a change to the Japanese constitution, particularly the part about peace and war, and some even want nuclear weapons. After winning the First Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895) against China and the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905) against Russia, Japan received very little respect and some historians attribute this to the expansion of imperialism over the next few decades. Japan is in a similar situation today. In fact, the entire world is to some extent. The Japanese Constitution was, however, partly written by the Allies, but the concept of peace has been embodied by the local people since before the third century, when the Chinese called them the land and people of peace - WA. We know that Germany blamed the first world war and Treaty of Versailles for what led to World War II. The same unjust dumping of guilt was placed on the Japanese after the second world war through the war guilt program. Germany has been totally conquered and destroyed, but Japan remains stronger in many ways now than ever - despite birthrate and economic issues that are part of a larger global system. Now that more people are learning about this, and it's becoming obvious there is a plan to facilitate the destruction of Japanese society and eastern cultures in general, like in the west, Japan has begun to turn in the opposite direction, far faster than the United States attempted to do before it was too late. There is an international global conspiracy to destroy sovereign nations and enslave the world population under a communist and fascist order. Resistance to the sabotage of civilization will be met with aggressive violence, just as the resistance itself is aggressively violent. When human beings are placed at the core of a movement, its ideologies become naturally unstable. When the rule of law is abandoned to fight those who would burn the law, everybody loses. Even if victory could be achieved in some of the sense over the corruption, what replaces it? Human history shows us that it's an even worse tyranny. Since countries like Japan have not lost their cultural values to the same level the west has, or at all, and nationalistic calls of pride and honor are erupting, we just might see the rise of an imperial Japan once again. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

A summary of the mood of fear in Washington DC as August 2025 comes to an end. It is even worse than it was more than a decade ago when political scientist Norman Ornstein published (with co-author Thomas Mann) It's Even Worse Than It Looks: How the American Constitutional System Collided With the New Politics of Extremism. In this wide ranging conversation Ornstein and FRDH host Michael Goldfarb analyze the current situation, discuss whether the 2026 Midterm elections will be free and fair and what can be done right now to push back on the radical path Trump and the MAGA Republicans are trying to force America down. Give us 58:39 to explain.

A group called Return to the Land (RTTL) is creating a whites-only settlement in the Ozarks, requiring members to prove “European ancestry,” identify as straight, Christian, and exclude Jewish people, Black people, immigrants, and LGBTQ+ individuals.

Last month, RCMP charged four people for their alleged involvement in a plot to forcibly take land north of Quebec city in what Mounties called an incident of "ideologically motivated violent extremism". Three of the men were denied bail last week.The accused, they charged, had planned to create an anti-government militia, but even more startling: two of the four people charged by RCMP are active members of the Canadian Armed Forces.While it's the first time an active member of the Canadian Armed Forces has faced terrorism-related charges, extremism in the military isn't new.Jonathan Montpetit, a senior Investigative Journalist with CBC News, chronicles the Forces' uneven track record on extremism, and how deeply this issue has infiltrated the ranks over the years.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

Monday's mass shooting in Manhattan prompts Chris Cuomo to dig into what he believes is the real root cause: a culture of extremism that's been supercharged by social media. Cuomo examines how algorithm-driven outrage, partisan politics, and a warped incentive structure are creating an environment that fuels radicalism — not just abroad, but at home. From CTE and mental illness to algorithms and ideology, Cuomo warns that America's growing appetite for destruction is no longer just rhetorical. It's being acted out in real time, and unless we recalibrate what we reward in our politics and culture, the violence will only escalate.

"From the Frontlines" is an ADL podcast which brings listeners to the frontline in the battle against antisemitism and hate through conversations with ADL staff who are living that battle every day. Today's frontline is unlike any we've faced before - it's digital, it's rapidly evolving, and it's reshaping how hate spreads and how we fight it. Nowhere is this more clear than with artificial intelligence. The irony, though is that the same technology that holds incredible promise for fighting hate is also being weaponized to spread it at unprecedented speed and scale. Today's conversation explores both sides of this digital battleground with three experts who are literally on the frontlines of this technological fight. 1. Daniel Kelley, Director of Strategy and Operations at ADL's Center for Technology and Society. Daniel leads ADL's efforts to understand how emerging technologies impact hate and extremism, and he's been instrumental in developing ADL's approach to AI governance. 2. Sara Aniano, a Disinformation Analyst at ADL's Center on Extremism. Sara tracks how AI is being used to create and spread false narratives that fuel antisemitism and other forms of hate, and her work helps us stay ahead of rapidly evolving disinformation tactics. 3. Tomer Poran, Vice President of Solution Strategy at ActiveFence, a company that uses AI to detect and counter online harms. Tomer brings a private sector perspective on how technology companies are grappling with these challenges and developing solutions. Together, they help us understand not just the threats we face, but the tools we have to fight back. This conversation was originally recorded in June 2025 as a moderated panel at ADL New York/New Jersey's Annual Meeting. In the audience were the region's top leaders and donors.

Incel Extremism EXPOSED, From Elliot Roger to Bryan Kohberger In this special conclusion to our five-part deep dive, we bring together everything we've uncovered about the incel phenomenon—from its toxic digital roots to the real-world trail of blood it's left behind. This episode unpacks how loneliness, rejection, entitlement, and misogyny have merged into one of the most disturbing and violent ideologies of the internet age. We trace the timeline from Elliot Rodger's 2014 Isla Vista massacre—where he filmed his manifesto and became a cult figure in incel circles—through to copycat killers like Alek Minassian, Scott Beierle, and more. These aren't random killers. They're men who felt entitled to women's attention, rejected by society, and validated by online echo chambers that turned their self-pity into shared rage. And then there's the case of Bryan Kohberger—accused in the 2022 Idaho student murders. Though not confirmed to be an incel, his background paints a chilling portrait of social isolation, rejection, misogynistic behavior, and creepy patterns eerily aligned with known incel killers. We break down the evidence, the speculation, and why it matters—because even without a manifesto, the patterns are there. This isn't just a true crime breakdown. It's a look at how misogynistic extremism festers in online forums, how it radicalizes vulnerable young men, and why law enforcement is now calling it a domestic terror threat. If we want to stop the next Kohberger, the next Rodger—we need to understand how they're made. This is the final chapter. Watch it all come together. #Incel #BryanKohberger #ElliotRodger #AlekMinassian #TrueCrimeAnalysis #MisogynisticExtremism #BlackpillCulture #MassViolence #ToxicMasculinity #IncelTerrorism Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

extremely's Oren Segal speaks with filmmaker Wendy Sachs about the parallels between the aftermath of the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel and the response to the recent deadly antisemitic attacks in Washington, DC, and Boulder. They also discuss the impact of Sachs' documentary, October 8th: The Fight for the Soul of America, which examines the surge of antisemitism seen at protests, on college campuses, across social media and beyond in the wake of October 7.extremely is a podcast from the ADL Center on Extremism. Sign up for our weekly newsletter here. extremely's Senior Producer is Russell Gragg.

These back-to-back broadcasts lay out a sweeping indictment of what the host describes as the Democratic Party's embrace of radicalism and rising political violence. The first segment dissects the candidacy of a self-described Marxist running for mayor of New York, whose platform includes abolishing police, seizing property, and hostility toward Israel—accusations of antisemitism included. The second segment shifts to alarming revelations about Iranian assassination plots targeting Donald Trump, the infiltration of U.S. borders by missiles, and the apparent failures—and promotions—within the Secret Service. Together, these reports paint a picture of a nation drifting toward chaos, where extremist ideologies flourish and security institutions allegedly fail to protect their most high-profile target.

This segment delves into shocking reports of activists sabotaging ICE vehicles in Los Angeles with homemade spike strips—an act the hosts call domestic terrorism. The discussion expands into Axios revelations that House Democrats, speaking anonymously, described their own constituents demanding violence, including calls for bloodshed and open defiance of laws to resist Trump policies. As Hakeem Jeffries stops short of condemning such rhetoric in a CNN interview, the hosts argue this signals tacit approval of escalation. The episode concludes with commentary on New York politics, claiming rising support for radical candidates and a troubling mainstreaming of extremist ideas under the Democratic banner.

These two segments explore escalating attacks on ICE agents and the broader surge of far-left violence across America. The hosts condemn proposed legislation to force ICE officers to reveal their identities even as they face assassination attempts. They argue that Democrat leaders have not only failed to condemn these ambushes but have emboldened radical factions. The conversation also connects the violence to foreign adversaries, claiming Iranian funding and influence are fueling domestic unrest and targeting political figures like Donald Trump. Together, these discussions paint a stark portrait of what they see as an unprecedented convergence of extremist ideology, partisan politics, and international threats undermining national security.

This comprehensive analysis exposes what hosts describe as an alarming surge of far-left extremism targeting ICE agents, law enforcement, and political figures. Across multiple incidents—including assassination attempts, embassies attacked, and violent riots—they argue that Democratic leaders have not only failed to condemn the violence but have enacted policies that endanger federal agents. The discussion links these attacks to foreign influence, especially Iranian and Chinese funding, suggesting an unprecedented threat from adversaries exploiting America's internal divisions. From unmasking ICE officers to threats against Trump and infiltration by radical networks, the segments paint a picture of escalating guerrilla warfare and warn of profound national security consequences if this convergence of domestic extremism and foreign interests remains unchallenged.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, open borders, radicalized college campuses, and biased media drive cultural decay in the U.S. Unvetted immigration from conflict zones, homegrown terrorism fueled by media misrepresentation, and Marxist indoctrination in universities are key issues. A Marxist allegedly killed two people in D.C. weeks ago and now an Egyptian illegal immigrant allegedly tried to kill people protesting Hamas in Boulder, Colorado, with Molotov cocktails. Biden's policies worsened these problems, and outlets like CNN and the New York Times spread Hamas propaganda, such as false claims of Israeli attacks. Later, colleges and universities have been destroyed by Islamists, Marxists, and foreign influences like Qatar, Iran, and Hamas, with Jews being targeted in a manner reminiscent of the 1930s. These groups, supported by the Democrat Party, media, and courts, are anti-American and aim to collapse the system. Also, President Trump forcefully posted about Iran – “The AUTOPEN should have stopped Iran a long time ago from “enriching.” Under our potential Agreement — WE WILL NOT ALLOW ANY ENRICHMENT OF URANIUM!” He may have posted this as a response to leakers claiming there's a deal that allows Iran to enrich uranium. These leaks might come from the fifth column isolationists or Iranian sympathizers within the administration aiming to undermine Trump.  Afterward, the United States is among the most religiously tolerant nations, with the Constitution ensuring freedoms for all, regardless of beliefs. Faith acts as a moral foundation, moderating behavior and fostering societal civility, even influencing non-believers through surrounding values. Christianity does not seek political control, in contrast to political Islam, which aims for centralized authority over society and government. Without an enlightenment embracing individual liberty, Islam's dominant establishment often supports Islamism, which clashes with Western values.  Importing such ideologies into the U.S. may lead to resistance against assimilation, as seen in parts of Europe and emerging in America.  In Addition, George Washington University's Program on Extremism details how Hamas established early ties with Iran through meetings led by Mousa Abu Marzook, a key Hamas figure, while he was a student in the U.S. in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Marzook, who later became Deputy Chief of Hamas's Political Bureau, orchestrated these connections from American soil. These ties, formalized during a 1991 Tehran meeting, laid the groundwork for Iran's long-term backing of Hamas, including advanced knowledge of Hamas's October 7, 2023, attack on Israel. Can you imagine what's going on today? Finally, Steve Moore calls in and highlights the economy's strong performance in the second quarter, citing a Federal Reserve estimate of 4.6% GDP growth, a significant rebound from the negative 0.2% in the first quarter under Biden. He notes low inflation at under 2.5%, compared to Biden's average of 6%, and emphasizes rising personal income and consumer spending. Moore credits these improvements to the early days of Trump's presidency, countering media predictions of economic collapse. He also stresses the urgency of making Trump's tax cuts permanent to avoid a historic tax increase, which Moore says would cost the average family $2,500 annually. Learn more about your ad choices.
