Podcasts about extremists

This week, Matt is joined by terrorism researcher Jacob Ware to unpack the rise of nihilistic violent extremism—attacks carried out by disaffected young men radicalized online without any clear political goal. They explore how social media fuels this chaotic new threat, why the FBI created a new classification for it, and what makes networks like 764 and the Order of Nine Angles so dangerous. Then, they turn to the recent string of violent antisemitic attacks in the US and what they reveal about the blurred lines between far-left, far-right, and jihadist extremism. It's a disturbing look at the future of terrorism, and what it means when violence itself becomes the ideology.

In his 22-year career in the FBI, undercover agent Scott Payne infiltrated some of the most dangerous criminal and extremist groups in America, from a motorcycle gang called the Outlaws to a white-supremacist group known as the Base. Payne shares his firsthand case accounts of gathering intelligence and stopping illegal activity in his memoir, Code Name: Pale Horse; How I Went Undercover to Expose America’s Nazis. His story is also featured on the latest season of the Slate podcast White Hot Hate. Payne sat down with Apple News In Conversation host Shumita Basu to talk about some of his most harrowing moments on the job and the growing threat of extremism in the U.S.

Attempts to moderate online hate might actually be creating more harmful content.

Part 1 The Psychopath Test by Jon Ronson Summary"The Psychopath Test: A Journey Through the Madness Industry" by Jon Ronson delves into the complex world of psychopathology, exploring the nature and treatment of mental illness, particularly psychopathy. Overview: Jon Ronson, a journalist and author, embarks on a journey to understand what it means to be a psychopath, a condition often characterized by a lack of empathy, remorse, and emotional connection.

He explores how society labels and manages those deemed mentally ill, highlighting the fine line between sanity and insanity.Cultural Perceptions of Psychopathy: The author examines how psychopathy is perceived in society, touching on high-profile cases and suggesting that some of the traits associated with psychopathy can also be beneficial in corporate settings, effectively linking business and psychopathy.Exploring the Madness Industry: Ronson takes a critical stance on the mental health industry, questioning the definitions of mental illness and how diagnoses can sometimes be arbitrary. He discusses the power dynamics involved, especially how those labeled as mentally ill can be marginalized.Personal Reflections: Throughout the book, Ronson shares his own thoughts and insecurities about sanity, wondering about the threshold that separates a ‘normal' person from a psychopath. His personal anecdotes add a layer of relatability to the subject matter.Conclusion: "The Psychopath Test" challenges readers to think critically about mental illness, the definitions of sanity and insanity, and the moral implications of labeling individuals.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. New York reporter Luke Tress joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Twelve people were wounded Sunday in Boulder, Colorado — including at least one person in critical condition — when activists rallying for the release of the Israeli hostages in Gaza were attacked by a man shouting “end Zionists,” who fired a makeshift flamethrower and threw firebombs at them. Tress updates us with what we know so far about the suspect, Mohammed Soliman, and his motives. Tress compares Sunday's Boulder attack to the fatal shooting of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC, less than two weeks ago. He reminds listeners of Jewish community leaders' warnings of potential copycat attacks on the horizon. To close, we learn about a new facility from the Community Security Service, a nonprofit that trains volunteer synagogue guards throughout the US, the first in the US dedicated to training synagogue guards as American Jews build out an array of connected security measures amid a global surge in antisemitism. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Critics have long argued that Israel's 58-year-long occupation of Palestinian lands conquered in the 1967 Middle East war has brutalised Israeli society. Israel's 20-month-old assault on Gaza and the Israeli public's attitudes towards Gazan Palestinians serve as Exhibit A of the degree of brutalisation. So does last week's pummelling of two Palestinian public bus drivers by militantly racist fans of soccer club Beitar Jerusalem, a far-right darling, after a Palestinian soccer player, Zaki Ahmed, secured the 2025 Israel State Cup title for his team, Hapoel Be'er Sheva.

The foiled plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer may be just the tip of the iceberg. Under the Trump presidency, right wing extremist groups have multiplied significantly and pose a grave domestic terror threat to the United States. In addition, through his own divisive rhetoric and coded language, the President has tolerated and encouraged the rise of violent, Pro Trump vigilante groups. Are these armed, right wing radicals, the foot soldiers for Trump's new Maga Army? Plus, a conversation with Lincoln Project's Jeff Timmer. The former Michigan GOP honcho and veteran campaign operative provides insight into how the kidnap plot is playing at a local level and discusses Trump's party takeover and how the Republican Party might repair and redeem itself. Also, make sure to check out Mea Culpa: The Election Essays for the definitive political document of 2020.

On Monday, dozens of Afrikaners arrived in the US as refugees. On this week's On the Media, how a fringe group of white South Africans have been lobbying for Donald Trump's attention for almost a decade — but refugee status was never on their wish list. Plus, the second episode of The Divided Dial, all about how rightwing extremists took over shortwave radio.[01:00] Host Micah Loewinger talks with Carolyn Holmes, a professor of political science at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, about the arrival of white South African refugees in the US, why Afrikaner white rights groups are objecting to the policy, and the long-standing exchange of ideas between white nationalist elites in the US and South Africa.[16:42] Episode 2 of The Divided Dial, Season 2: You Must Form Your Militia Movements. Many governments eased off the shortwaves after the Cold War, and homegrown US-based rightwing extremists edged out shortwave peaceniks to fill the void. Reporter Katie Thornton explores how in the 1990s, US shortwave radio stations became a key organizing and recruiting ground for white supremacists and the burgeoning anti-government militia movement. On this instantaneous, international medium, they honed a strategy and a rhetoric that they would take to the early internet and beyond.Further reading:“Tucker Carlson, those South African white rights activists aren't telling you the whole truth,” by Carolyn Holmes (2019)“‘Kill the Boer': The anti-apartheid song Musk ties to ‘white genocide'” by Nick Dall On the Media is supported by listeners like you.

In this episode of “Financial Crime Matters,” Kieran talks with Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler, Senior Director of the Counter-Extremism Project about the current violent threats posed by Islamic radicals, and right-wing and left-wing extremist groups. Drawing on his expertise as Senior Director of the Counter Extremism Project and years of diplomatic service, Hans names the extremist organizations that currently threaten to unleash global violence. While detailing some of the catalysts for the militancy of these organizations, including ongoing conflict in the Middle East and Africa, and political polarization in the United States and Europe, Hans also discusses what financial institutions and government can do individually and in concert to cut off funding to terror groups

In this dark age of Trumpian rule, is there any glimmer of hope?

In April, Israel's Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir toured the United States in his first-ever trip to the country as a government official. Many Jewish groups refused to meet with Ben-Gvir, a follower of Meir Kahane whose extremism stands out even in an Israeli political scene awash in anti-Palestinian racism. But Ben-Gvir was welcomed by Chabad rabbis at Yale in New Haven, in South Florida, as well as at 770 Eastern Parkway, the Chabad headquarters in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. The latter appearance sparked protests outside 770, which were met with violence by Chabadniks. In particular, a mob chanting “Death to Arabs” chased a female passerby for several blocks, kicking, spitting, and throwing objects at her. Other videos showed Chabadniks lighting a keffiyeh on fire, shoving and kicking members of the Hasidic anti-Zionist group Neturei Karta, and bloodying a female protester (herself a Jewish Israeli). To discuss Chabad's alignment with Ben-Gvir, its long-standing antipathy to leftist movements, and its uneasy relations within Crown Heights, Jewish Currents editor-in-chief Arielle Angel spoke with Jewish studies scholars Shaul Magid and Hadas Binyamini. They discuss Chabad's historic anti-Zionism, the quasi-Zionist cultural shifts that have solidified after October 7th, and the tensions the movement is currently navigating between its outreach orientation and its increasingly exclusionary politics.Thanks to Jesse Brenneman for producing and to Nathan Salsburg for the use of his song “VIII (All That Were Calculated Have Passed).”Texts Mentioned and Further Resources:The Rebbe, the Messiah, and the Scandal of Orthodox Indifference, David Berger“Israel's Class War Conservatives,” Joshua Leifer, Jewish Currents “The three-decade saga that led to the Crown Heights tunnels,” Chananya Groner, The Guardian“The Happy-Go-Lucky Jewish Group That Connects Trump and Putin,” Ben Schreckinger, PoliticoLetter to Hitler from the German Free Association for the Interests of Orthodox Jewry, 1933“Lubavitcher Hassidim Oppose Public Demonstrations on Behalf of Soviet Jews,” JTA“The New Heimish Populism,” Joshua Leifer, Jewish CurrentsRace and Reli­gion Among the Cho­sen...

Once a revolutionary manufacturing innovation, 3D printing has become a double-edged sword. While the technology is driving progress across sectors like medicine and aerospace, it's also being exploited to produce untraceable, homemade firearms.In this episode, host Lucas Webber is joined by Yannick Veilleux-Lepage, Assistant Professor at the Royal Military College of Canada and a leading expert on the intersection of terrorism and emerging technologies. Together, they explore how 3D-printed weapons are being used by extremist actors, how online communities are spreading firearm blueprints, and why policymakers are struggling to respond to this growing security challenge.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (05/13/2025): 3:05pm- The Democratic National Committee has taken the initial steps to void the results of a party election that resulted in David Hogg and Kenyatta Johnson winning Vice Chair positions. According to complaints, the initial vote disadvantaged female candidates. However, Rich speculates that the real reason Hogg is on the verge of being replaced is because he has threatened to spend $20 million primarying moderate Democrats in the House of Representatives. 3:10pm- According to a report from Politico, internal polling suggests that Senator John Fetterman's (D-PA) support with Pennsylvania-based Democrats has faded—with only 46% having a “favorable” opinion of him currently. Meanwhile, New York Magazine reports that staffers for Fetterman are voicing concerns about the state of his mental health. But are these stories suddenly being pushed because Fetterman has vocally opposed the far-left? While speaking with reporters on Capitol Hill last week, Fetterman called the article a “hit piece” and noted that it only has one source. 3:20pm- While promoting his new book, “Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” CNN's Jake Tapper revealed that a White House physician informed then-President Joe Biden's aides that he might require the assistance of a wheelchair in his second term if he were to continue falling. While Tapper is reporting on these stories now, why wasn't he doing so prior to Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 presidential election? 3:35pm- While speaking with Ross Douthat of The New York Times, Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) struggled to defend his position that biological males should be permitted to participate in women's sports. Rich jokes: this might the worst answer to a question since Kamala Harris's appearance on The View just before the 2024 presidential election. 3:40pm- Democrat political strategist James Carville is now imploring his party to stop using terms like “intersectionality” and “oligarch”—noting that common Americans don't use those terms and “don't know what the f*** you're talking about.” 3:55pm- While speaking from Riyadh, President Donald Trump announced that Saudi Arabia will be investing $600 billion in the United States economy—focusing on technology development and including a $142 billion defense sales agreement. PLUS, should President Trump accept a $400 million plane from Qatar? According to reports, it would replace the current Air Force One—which is nearly 40 years old—and would eventually be gifted to the Trump Presidential Library after Trump leaves office in 2029. 4:05pm- Alexis Sneller—Policy Analyst for PA Family Council—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the Pennsylvania state Senate ‘s passage of the “Save Women's Sports Act.” She explains that SB9 reinforces common sense and basic fairness. If it passes in the House, will Governor Josh Shapiro (D-PA) sign the bill? 4:15pm- Did Rich mention he was on Fox News today? 4:20pm- Should President Trump accept a $400 million plane from Qatar? According to reports, it would replace the current Air Force One—which is nearly 40 years old—and would eventually be gifted to the Trump Presidential Library after Trump leaves office in 2029. Appearing on Fox News, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said accepting the gift would be a violation of the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution and is not worth even “the appearance of impropriety.” Listeners call into the show and explain why or why not the president should accept Qatar's offer. 4:40pm- Should “Shoeless” Joe Jackson be banned from the MLB Hall of Fame for betting on baseball? Rich says yes…then no….but probably yes… 5:00pm- Jack Ciattarelli—Republican Candidate for Governor of New Jersey & Former New Jersey State Representative—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to offer reaction to President Donald Trump endorsing him last night. In a post made to Truth Social, President Trump stated: “Jack C ...

Liderii bisericii au văzut că nu pot rămâne indiferenți față de situația apărută după primul tur al alegerilor prezidențiale, și anume câștigarea primei runde de George Simion, președintele Alianței pentru Unirea Românilor (AUR), așa încât le-au cerut adepților lor:„Alegeți-l pe cel capabil să contracareze forțele politice extremiste, să promoveze dezvoltarea vieții sociale și eficiența administrației de stat și să asigure menținerea României pe calea europeană.”Jurnaliștii maghiari scriu că premierul Viktor Orbán are o viziune diferită în ceea ce-l privește pe „anti-maghiarul și naționalistul George Simion.” Vineri, prim-ministrul a vorbit destul de aprobator despre liderul de extremă dreapta din România. „Atât maghiarii, cât și românii sunt și vor rămâne membri cu drepturi depline ai Uniunii Europene.” „Ne putem baza unii pe alții în lupta pentru creștinism și suveranitate,” a spus Viktor Orban.Hunor Kelemen, președintele Alianței Democrate Maghiare din România (URMD), a reacționat la cuvintele lui Orbán spunând că Simion nu este prieten cu maghiarii și nu va fi niciodată unul, deoarece reprezintă principiul că maghiarii nu au ce căuta în România, precizează publicația.Fostul președinte al partidului Momentum solicită formațiunii să nu participe la alegerile din 2026 din UngariaPotrivit lui András Fekete-Győr, o candidatură nu ar face decât să priveze forțele reale ale schimbării de oportunitatea de a contracara formațiunea premierului maghiar, Viktor Orban, relatează index.hu.„Un partid care fluctuează între 2 și 3% din intențiile de vot nu ajută la producerea unei schimbări de guvern,” a spus politicianul.„Participarea la Momentum nu ar fi în prezent o soluție, ci mai degrabă o parte a problemei. În loc să se consolideze, ar slăbi șansele mult așteptatei schimbări politice în țară. Pierzând 2% din voturi aici, 3% acolo, pierdem imediat orice șansă de schimbare”, a insistat el.Cum a fost vizita lui Fico la Moscova? Un istoric slovac în acuză pe premierul țării de ignoranță istorică„În timp ce prim-ministrul Robert Fico  se afla la sărbătoarea Zilei Victoriei de la Moscova, unde a dat mâna cu președintele rus Vladimir Putin, miniștrii de externe ai UE s-au întâlnit la Liov, în Ucraina. Fico a stat chiar lângă Putin și a discutat cu președintele belorus, Alexander Lukașenko. El a călătorit în Rusia ca singurul lider din Uniunea Europeană și NATO, ceea ce, potrivit unui istoric cunoscut, mărturisește ignoranța sa în materie de istorie,” relatează spravy.pravda.sk.Călătoria prim-ministrului slovac nu a fost ușoară. Întrucât nu putea zbura deasupra Ucrainei, spațiul său aerian fiind bombardat ilegal de armata rusă de mai bine de trei ani, a trebuit să caute o altă rută. Companiile aeriene europene nu mai zboară deasupra Belarusului după incidentul din 2021, când Minskul a forțat un avion Ryanair să efectueze o aterizare de urgență, așa că avionul special al guvernului slovac trebuia să treacă prin Polonia și țările baltice. Dar cu o zi înainte de plecarea programată de joi, Lituania, Letonia și Estonia au anunțat că nu îi vor permite să intre în spațiul lor aerian.Ministerul de Externe al Letoniei și-a justificat decizia spunând că Fico călătorea la un eveniment de propagandă al Kremlinului și că participarea sa la acesta era incompatibilă cu valorile fundamentale ale Uniunii Europene. „Putin este un agresor”, a declarat pentru Pravda, Dušan Kováč, istoric la Academia Slovacă de Științe și frate vitreg al primului președinte al Republicii Slovace, Michal Kováč, ca răspuns la călătoria lui Fico la Moscova. Potrivit acestuia, celebrarea eliberării Europei de sub naziști alături de un agresor este o dovadă a necunoașterii istoriei.„Nu are sens, nu are logică. 1945 a fost cu mult timp. Astăzi, situația s-a schimbat. În secolul XXI, Putin este un agresor, la fel cum a fost Hitler în secolul XX. Iar Fico sărbătorește... Este o carte de vizită foarte proastă pentru Slovacia”, a remarcat Kováč.„Este ignoranță a istoriei. Trebuie să urmărim istoria nu doar din 1945, ci să ne uităm la ce s-a întâmplat în anii care au urmat”, a avertizat istoricul. Potrivit acestuia, nu există nicio îndoială că Putin este obsedat de ideea de a restaura fosta Uniune Sovietică. Au participat la Revista Presei, Europa Plus:Kevin KOVÁCS, UngariaAnna Réka, RÁFI, UngariaDominika ZVARIKOVÁ, Slovacia

An episode that figured out it was in a cult!In Episode 129 of The Autistic Culture Podcast, we're talking about cults and extremist religious movements in autistic culture. We're joined by Jude Mills, an autistic theologian and former hospice chaplain, and host of Fkd up by faith, whose research and lived experience offer us an inside look at why this isn't just a trauma story—it's a culture story.Here's what we cover in today's episode: * Why do so many of us Autistics find ourselves in Cults? Why do we stay? * The same traits that can make autistic folks susceptible to cults—intense focus, logical systems, emotional honesty—also show up in the leaders of these movements. But what does it mean when the very systems that exploit autistic people are often built by someone with autistic traits?* What happens to your SPIN when it used to be Jesus or Revelation or prophecy? Do you mourn it? Rework it?* What does the journey out look like for most people? What's uniquely hard for autistic folks?Jude Mills' BioJude Mills is an interfaith Minister and spiritual counsellor, ordained with One Spirit Interfaith Foundation in 2020.

"American Extremists Aiding Radicals Across Border," trumpeted the Detroit Free Press in 1919. "707 Illegal Aliens Arrested in Checkpoint Crackdown," reported the Los Angeles Times in 1987. "87 Bronx gang members responsible for nine years of murders and drug-dealing charged in largest takedown in NYC history," announced the New York Daily News in 2016. "'Top secret' Hamas documents show that terrorists intentionally targeted elementary schools and a youth center," claimed NBC News in 2023. Each of these headlines includes a label for a certain type of Bad Guy. Whether it's the "Extremist," the "Illegal Alien," the "Gang Member," or the "Terrorist," these terms—and their cousins—seek to exceptionalize the alleged transgressions of their targets, separate them from both the law and history and dehumanize them, all while priming media audiences for crueler laws, harsher policing, longer incarceration and sometimes even extrajudicial punishment. The terms, of course, don't have clear, universally accepted definitions—nor are they supposed to—their use is often heavily racialized and, by their very nature, subject to the whims and ideologies of the Security State and the media doing its bidding. What effects, then, do these Bad Guy Labels have on public perceptions? How do they serve to foreclose critical thinking about who is deemed inside the bounds of due process and humanization and who is categorically an other in urgent need of disappearing and punishment? On this episode, we examine four thought-terminating Bad Guy labels, analyze their origins, why they rose to prominence and explain how they are selectively evoked in order to turn off people's brains and open up space for quick and cruel state violence. Our guest is attorney and author Alec Karakatsanis.

Extremism in America has been on the rise. Last episode, we looked at extremist groups in Chicago and how they terrorized select groups of people and influenced housing policy in the city during the 1950s. But what does extremism look like today? Curious City host Erin Allen talks with Odette Yousef, a national security correspondent focusing on extremism at NPR, about why it's less about fringe groups and more about ideology that has permeated our culture. “January 6 was a good example of how everything has changed,” she says. “That to me was really a milestone in terms of how extremism looks in this country, because I think we have long expected it to come out of small cells or groups. And here it was just everyday Americans who had gotten really kind of radicalized until the point where they participated in the violence that day.” She also talks about how extremism has shown up in Chicago and how the city compares with other large American cities.

Extremist groups of the 1950s played a violent part, alongside real estate and neighborhood organizations, in keeping Chicago segregated.

When Trump was running for office last year, he promised to “lower prices on day one.” So… why are eggs still so expensive? And why are other groceries still so expensive too?Sure, bird flu is one factor - but it's actually having less of an impact than you've been told. A lot of other factors are at play too, from tariffs to corporate profits to immigration policies that target our agricultural workers. Just this week, Trump is set to announce a new round of tariffs in what he's ironically calling “liberation day.”All of this would be bad enough, but in the meantime, Republicans are cutting funding and programs that help struggling families put food on the table. The USDA has stopped $500 million in deliveries to food banks and slashed a billion dollars from programs that helped schools purchase fresh local food. And SNAP (the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps) is likely to experience major cuts too.You can't find a more “kitchen table issue” than what families can afford to put on their literal kitchen tables. Extremists want us to think the economy is too complicated to understand, but it's actually quite simple: we need leaders who prioritize families over profits. Access to food is a basic human right and we need them to treat it that way.For a transcript of this episode, please email theswppod@redwine.blue.

How do ordinary people become dangerous extremists? Former FBI agent Scott Payne infiltrated America's most violent hate groups and reveals their playbook. What We Discuss with Scott Payne: Scott Payne worked as an undercover FBI agent infiltrating various extremist organizations, including white supremacists like the KKK and accelerationists such as The Base, which aimed to trigger societal collapse and establish a white ethnostate. Accelerationist groups differ from traditional white supremacist organizations in that they don't believe in political solutions, but train for violence and "Boogaloo" (race war), preparing with tactical gear and weapons while planning attacks on infrastructure and targeted individuals. During his undercover work, Scott encountered disturbing rituals and behaviors, including a goat sacrifice during which members drank blood and took LSD as part of a neo-pagan ceremony associated with white supremacist ideology. White supremacist recruitment often targets vulnerable individuals from broken homes who are seeking belonging and connection, with online platforms like Telegram and Gab serving as recruitment grounds where extremist content can radicalize disaffected youth. Deescalation and communication skills proved to be Scott's most valuable tools throughout his career. His experience shows that even in hostile environments, the ability to talk through situations and remain calm under pressure is often more effective than physical confrontation — a skill anyone can develop and apply to their own difficult interactions.
