Luke Mogelson, a contributing writer at The New Yorker, is one of the rare reporters who has seen the war in Ukraine from the front lines. He recently spent two weeks embedded with a group of fighters from around the world who had chosen to travel to Ukraine and join the war against Russia. In a new story in the magazine, he writes about the sophisticated and incessant violence of the war, and the mentality that keeps these volunteer soldiers there, fighting on behalf of a country that is not their own. He joins Tyler Foggatt to discuss what he witnessed.

For this episode I spoke to Sam Knight about his book The Premonitions Bureau, published by Faber. It's nonfiction, about a phsyciatrist, a journalist, and an experiment they ran for a while to see whether people could predict the future. I won't give the ending away.You can buy Sam's book here: https://uk.bookshop.org/books/the-premonitions-bureau-a-sunday-times-bestseller/9780571357567The book he recommended is The Storm is Here by Luke Mogelson:https://uk.bookshop.org/books/the-storm-is-here-america-on-the-brink/9781529418712And you can buy my books here:https://uk.bookshop.org/contributors/andrew-hankinsonThanks for listening.

In his new book, The Storm is Here: An American Crucible, longtime war correspondent Luke Mogelson explores the rise of right wing extremism in the U.S. Today, Mogelson joins us to talk about the events leading up to the Jan 6 insurrection and what he saw firsthand at the U.S Capitol that day. The Oath Keepers have been accused of having a large role in the Capitol riots, and are one of the far right extremist groups Mogelson has followed. A recent report by the Anti-Defamation League shows 476 state residents are part of the Oath Keepers membership database, reports Hearst CT. What does their influence look like today, a year and a half after the riots? How influential will these groups become after the midterm elections?

Air Date 11/15/2022 Today, we take a look at our extremely steady history of political violence from the Revolution, through the Civil War, Reconstruction and Jim Crow, into the Civil Rights era, the Militia Movement and domestic terrorism, and now to our current once-again-radicalized, right-wing movement willing to use and tacitly condone violence as a political tactic.

In it, Luke shares his on-the-ground reporting across America — from anti-lockdown protests in Lansing, Michigan, to the uprising in Minneapolis after the murder of George Floyd — to explain how the forces that animated the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6th, 2021 came to gather strength.

It was an unprecedented attack on the peaceful transition of power that had defined democracy in the United States for more than two centuries. On January 6, 2021, a mob of Donald Trump supporters besieged the US Capitol in rioting that ultimately killed five people. War reporter Luke Mogelson was there that day. His book, "The Storm is Here: An American Crucible," recounts how months of budding discontent led to that moment. He joined us for Perspective.

Luke Mogelson spent years reporting on wars in Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq. When he began to see similar turmoil and social fragmentation emerge in the U.S., he came back home to write about the disturbing parallels. We discuss his new book, "The Storm is Here: An American Crucible."

It's just six weeks until the midterm elections, which often sees the party in power get a “shellacking,” as President Obama once put it. Democrats are bracing for a result that could cost them all or part of Congress and reduce President Biden's power. The Senate's longest-tenured member, Democrat Patrick Leahy is set to retire after 48 years in Congress. He joins the show from Capitol Hill.  Also on today's show: Raffaele Trombetta, Italian Ambassador to the UK; Luke Mogelson, author of The Storm Is Here: An American Crucible.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

The title of Luke Mogelson's new book works on a few levels for us. I was going to play his interview on Friday, but too much was happening to do it all justice, so I opted to save the interview for today as we dealt with the latest atrocity from the governor of Floriduh. DeSantis is now enjoying all the attention he's getting for his perverse and sickening stunt perpetrated on 50 Venezuelans who risked their lives to come to the US to ask for asylum. We will have a few postscripts on that story, and a few words about the other storms we're weathering, both figuratively and literally as Puerto Rico is flooded and without power yet again... As for Luke Mogelson, the celebrated war correspondent came home to cover the storm he saw brewing with the rise of right wing extremists, conspiracy theorists, QAnon and MAGA world... We'll hear from him beginning at around the 20 minute mark.

we're all watching the situation unfurl on Martha's Vineyard, summer home to the very rich and reclusive. I'll have an update on the disconnect between reality and the actions of a few assholes who happen to be governors of Magat states.... But we'll start with the news that broke last night... the so-called judge (named by Trump with zero qualifications to a lifetime appointment in a federal court) who bent over backwards to do TFG's bidding and ruled against the DOJ, keeping them from dealing with the reams of confidential documents stolen by Trump when he left the White House. To explain just what a travesty and perversion of justice this is, we'll start the show with Lisa Graves, who served as a Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Clinton and W Bush administrations.... (We'll hear the interview with Luke Mogelson on Monday!)

After Joe Biden delivered a landmark speech a couple of weeks ago warning that the extremism of Donald Trump's Republican supporters now threatened the country's democratic foundations, Jonathan Freedland speaks to the journalist Luke Mogelson, who has written a book chronicling the transformation of America in the run-up to January 6

Abbott and DeSantis should be looking at jail time or serious civil fines for engaging in this heartless, racist sport. Is using the plight of migrants as political pawns an unlawful and immoral act by DeSantis and Abbott? Do they not see them as human beings? Gov. Abbott sends buses of migrants to Kamala Harris's residence and Fox News is there to cover it live. Also award winning correspondent from The New Yorker, Luke Mogelson reports on right-wing extremism: The Storm Is Here!
