Podcast appearances and mentions of William M Arkin

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: According to William M. Arkin of Newsweek, “The federal government believes that the threat of violence and major civil disturbances around the 2024 U.S. presidential election is so great that it has quietly created a new category of extremists that it seeks to track and counter: Donald Trump's army of MAGA followers. The challenge for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the primary federal agency charged with law enforcement, is to pursue and prevent what it calls domestic terrorism without direct reference to political parties or affiliations—even though the vast majority of its current ‘anti-government' investigations are of Trump supporters, according to classified data obtained by Newsweek.” You can read the full article here: https://www.newsweek.com/2023/10/13/exclusive-fbi-targets-trump-followers-2024-election-nears-1831836.html According to a new Suffolk University/Boston Globe/USA Today poll, former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley has surpassed Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) in the New Hampshire Republican presidential primary 19% to 10%—however, former president Donald Trump still leads the poll with a massive 48%. While appearing on Fox News with Laura Ingraham, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) emphatically stated that the American people are disgusted with billions of taxpayer dollars being sent to Ukraine while there are numerous issues to address domestically. On Wednesday night, the Philadelphia Phillies knocked-off the Miami Marlins—winning the series 2-0. They'll now face the Atlanta Braves in a five-game series. 

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (10/05/2023): 3:05pm- On Monday, the office of Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas announced: “The Secretary of Homeland Security has determined pursuant to law, that it is necessary to waive certain laws, regulations, and other legal requirements in order to ensure the expeditious construction of barriers and roads in the vicinity of the international land border in Starr County, Texas.” Despite his administration's determination that a border wall is necessary to help stifle unlawful migration, President Joe Biden told members of the press that he does not believe that border walls are effective. 3:15pm- According to a report from NorthJersey.com, Nadine Arslanian—the wife of Senator Robert Menendez (R-NJ) who was recently indicted in a bribery scheme—was involved in a fatal car accident in December 2018. Katie Sobko, Ashley Balcerzak, and Kristie Cattafi write: “A month after the crash, according to an indictment brought by the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, Arslanian was texting Wael Hana, an Egyptian American businessman also indicted in the bribery scheme, about her lack of car. Hana later provided her with a 2019 Mercedez-Benz C-300 convertible, the indictment says.” You can read the full report here: https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/new-jersey/2023/10/04/bob-menendez-wife-car-accident-bogota-nj-police-indictment/71051427007/ 3:40pm- During her press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked how many times Commander—President Joe Biden's dog accused of routinely biting staff—has bitten the Bidens.

Arkin of Newsweek, “The federal government believes that the threat of violence and major civil disturbances around the 2024 U.S. presidential election is so great that it has quietly created a new category of extremists that it seeks to track and counter: Donald Trump's army of MAGA followers.

J.D. Vance (R-OH) emphatically stated that the American people are disgusted with billions of taxpayer dollars being sent to Ukraine while there are numerous issues to address domestically. 4:55pm- On Wednesday night, the Philadelphia Phillies knocked-off the Miami Marlins—winning the series 2-0. They'll now face the Atlanta Braves in a five-game series. 5:00pm- On Monday, the office of Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas announced: “The Secretary of Homeland Security has determined pursuant to law, that it is necessary to waive certain laws, regulations, and other legal requirements in order to ensure the expeditious construction of barriers and roads in the vicinity of the international land border in Starr County, Texas.” Despite his administration's determination that a border wall is necessary to help stifle unlawful migration, President Joe Biden told members of the press that he does not believe that border walls are effective. 5:15pm- During her press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked: “If the border wall is ineffective, why is the Department of Homeland Security Secretary saying that it's 'necessary' to prevent unlawful entries into the United States?" Jean-Pierre continued to insist that the Biden Administration does not believe a border wall is an effective method of preventing unlawful migration. 5:30pm- What's the greatest horror film of all time? The Exorcist? Rosemary's Baby? Rich, Matt, and Henry debate. 5:45pm- In a CBS News report, journalist Catherine Herridge reviews newly released documents acquired by House Republicans investigating the Biden family's international business deals—revealing that there are several references to “political figure 1” who is believed to be then-Vice President Joe Biden. 6:05pm- Rich has to leave the show early to attend a charity dinner with listeners—so, Mike Opelka hosts the final hour of the show! 6:10pm- Speaking at the annual Conservative Party conference, U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said: "We should not get bullied into believing that people can be any sex they want to be. They can't. A man is a man, and a woman is a woman, that's just common sense." 6:20pm- Social media influencer “Meatball” was arrested for her participation in wide-spread looting in Philadelphia. Dayja “Meatball” Blackwell, who has nearly 500,000 followers on TikTok, was charged with 6 felonies.

According to Audrey Fahlberg of National Review, Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) may be the next Speaker of the House. Fahlberg writes: “With the House speakership hanging in limbo after Kevin McCarthy's ouster Monday evening, allies of the former speaker say House Majority Leader Steve Scalise currently has the clearest path to the speakership as he continues to gauge support for his newly announced bid. But the race is early, and there is widespread concern among different House GOP factions about his health…with a host of House Republican sources cautioning that Scalise's blood cancer diagnosis is causing many McCarthy allies to keep their powder dry, even if his health issues aren't necessarily disqualifying.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/news/mccarthy-allies-say-steve-scalise-has-clearest-path-to-speakership-but-point-to-concerns-about-his-health/ 6:40pm- Dinesh D'Souza—political commentator, author, and filmmaker—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his newest documentary, “Police State.” You can learn more about the movie here: https://policestatefilm.net

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (10/04/2023): 3:05pm- On Tuesday, Representatives Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Matt Rosendale (R-MT), Nancy Mace (R-SC), Bob Good (R-VA), Eli Crane (R-AZ), Tim Burchett (R-TN), Ken Buck (R-CO) and Andy Biggs (R-AZ) joined Democrats in a vote to remove Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House—the first time a speakership has been ended on a no-confidence vote. The final vote was 216 to 210 in favor of vacating the speakership. According to reports, on Tuesday night House Republicans held a closed-door meeting at 6:30pm to determine what steps to take next. Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC), who is now serving as temporary speaker, has adjourned the House and is expected to hold a vote to fill the speakership early next week. 3:15pm- Representatives Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Steve Scalise (R-LA) have both announced their intention to openly contend for Speaker of the House. 3:30pm- According to Audrey Fahlberg of National Review, Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) may be the next Speaker of the House.

Although Trump is obviously not a member of Congress, that isn't a prerequisite for holding the position of speaker. 3:45pm- Speaking with reporters outside of the U.S. Capitol following a vote which vacated the House speakership, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) said America is the biggest winner now that Kevin McCarthy isn't serving as speaker. Gaetz seemingly endorsed Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) to fill the vacancy. 4:05pm- Rich speaks with listeners about the decision to oust Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House. Will changing Republican leadership in the House have an impact on the quality of legislation passed? Or do institutional checks make it impossible? 4:15pm- While appearing on Fox News, Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel condemned the House's decision to oust Kevin McCarthy as speaker. She explained, “we cannot do this and win” in 2024. 4:40pm- Who should serve as the next Speaker of the House? Jim Jordan? Steve Scalise? Donald Trump? Or maybe even…Rich Zeoli!?!? One listener hilariously calls for Rich to be nominated. 4:50pm- In one of his first acts serving as temporary speaker, Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC) evicted Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) from her Congressional office.

Burrowed among them is the White House's recent sabotage of the H-2A and H-2B visa programs—which help employers legally recruit seasonal workers, such as farm-hands and landscapers.” You can read the full article: https://nypost.com/2023/09/30/bidens-visa-rules-hurting-migrants-small-businesses/ 5:15pm- Speaking with Fox 29, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner was asked about the wide-spread looting that plagued the city last week. He said that looters will be judged on a case-by-case basis—“we will look carefully to see if this is a one-off situation and if they're fundamentally law-abiding people.” 5:20pm- Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre about Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) being carjacked in Washington D.C.—would President Joe Biden feel safe parking his Corvette Stingray in D.C.? 5:30pm- While appearing on The Pat McAfee Show, Jets Quarterback Aaron Rodgers referred to Travis Kelce as “Mr. Pfizer”—referencing Kelce's recent appearance in a COVID-19 vaccine commercial. Rich reveals that he doesn't care for Taylor Swift's music—is he even allowed to say that? 5:40pm- On Tuesday, New York Judge Arthur F. Engoron placed a gag order on Donald Trump. According to Jonah E. Bromwich of The New York Times, the order arose because Trump mocked a court clerk on social media on Monday. He explains Trump mocked “the clerk, Allison Greenfield, shortly before noon on his Truth Social site. His post was a picture of Ms. Greenfield with Senator Chuck Schumer, the Democratic majority leader. Mr. Trump mocked Ms. Greenfield as ‘Schumer's girlfriend' and said that the case against him should be dismissed.” Is Trump receiving a fair trial? You can read more here: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/03/nyregion/trump-gag-order-fraud-trial.html 5:45pm- In a video that has recently resurfaced, New York Judge Arthur F. Engoron—the judge overseeing the civil fraud case involving Donald Trump—can be heard exclaiming: “I'm going to say something controversial…juries get it wrong a lot.” 6:05pm- Representatives Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Steve Scalise (R-LA) have both announced their intention to openly contend for Speaker of the House. 6:10pm- According to William M. Arkin of Newsweek, “The federal government believes that the threat of violence and major civil disturbances around the 2024 U.S. presidential election is so great that it has quietly created a new category of extremists that it seeks to track and counter: Donald Trump's army of MAGA followers.

Welcome to week two of our Darts and Letters summer showcase! Darts and Letters is a show about the politics of ideas. We're celebrating joining the New Books Network by bringing you some of our favourite past episodes of the show. Each week, we're following a different theme. Last week's was “ideas in strange places” - and today, we're kicking off a week of episodes about the politics of education. This episode asks a big and nefarious question: have intellectuals enabled the US empire? Our host Gordon Katic looks at the RAND corporation (famously lampooned in Dr. Strangelove as the BLAND Corporation), and the broader defence-intellectual industrial complex. Get ready to meet some of the boring calculator men who are partially responsible for our permanent state of war. We'll be launching brand-new episodes of Darts and Letters here on the New Books Network starting on September 18th - until then, stay tuned for more of our greatest hits. ——————-FURTHER READING AND LISTENING—————— Have a look at Daniel's book Democracy in Exile and check out his other books and articles on his academic homepage, including his co-authored volume The Decisionist Imagination: Sovereignty, Social Science and Democracy in the 20th Century. Listen to his podcast, American Prestige, including the latest episode special “Auf Wiedersehen, Merkel.” Read more of his popular writing in The Nation, including “Can We Live Without Twitter,” The New Republic, including “The Case Against Humane War,” and Jacobin, including “Everything You Need to Know About What's Happening in Afghanistan — An Interview with Derek Davison.” For some further reading on the national security state, dig into Top Secret America: The Rise of the American Security State by Dana Priest and William M. Arkin.

William Arkin joined Scott on yesterday's Antiwar Radio show to discuss the war in Ukraine. Arkin has spent the last two months following the war closely to try and get an accurate read on what's happening on the ground. He shares his findings and latest analysis with Scott. Arkin believes that Russia's military failures have exposed them as a paper tiger, invalidating all the money and resources that have been poured into NATO over the decades. At the same time, the absence of diplomacy and the apparent U.S. intentions to turn this conflict into a prolonged proxy war pose the greatest danger to Ukrainian civilians.  Discussed on the show: William M. Arkin's Newsweek Page “Putin's Iskander Missiles Are Battle-Tested—and Can Carry Nuclear Warheads” (Newsweek) William Arkin is a military intelligence analyst, activist, author, journalist, academic and consultant. His award-winning reporting has appeared on the front pages of The Washington Post, The New York Times, and The Los Angeles Times.

John Burris, civil rights attorney, joins us to discuss the shooting of Daunte Wright. Tense times continue in Minneapolis, as pepper spray and rubber bullets fly and 60 people are arrested. Also, Washington County attorney Pete Orput has been charged with handling the decision of potential prosecutions to avoid the appearance of conflicts of interest.Mark Sleboda, a Moscow-based international relations security analyst, joins us to discuss the phone call between President Putin and Biden. President Putin outlined a political settlement for the current military crisis in Ukraine. Putin's position is that the settlement should be rooted in the "Minsk package of measures."Julie Varughese, Solidarity Network Coordinator for the Black Alliance for Peace, joins us to discuss Afghanistan. President Biden has stated that US troops will leave Afghanistan by September 11, 2021. While there is some level of jubilation amongst anti-war activists, there is also great trepidation over the possibility of this move turning out to be a tactic for further delay. Also, the Taliban has announced that they will not attend any peace talks until US troops no longer occupy their nation.Dr. Yolandra Hancock, board-certified pediatrician and obesity medicine specialist, joins us to discuss the current state of covid vaccination. The US' unofficial covid czar Dr. Anthony Fauci advises that he sees similarities between clotting issues that have arisen as a result of both the AstroZeneca and Johnson & Johnson vaccines. Also, increasing reports of side effects are slowing the world vaccine drive.Scott Ritter, former UN weapon inspector in Iraq, joins us to discuss Iran. Iran has announced that they intend to enrich uranium to 60% by next week, in response to a recent terrorist attack by Israel. Also, Secretary of Defense and former Raytheon board member Loyd Austin advised Israel that the United States will not allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon.Kweku Lamumba, external relations coordinator for KOSSSA, joins us to discuss Haiti. Haiti prime minister Joseph Jouthe has resigned, as the island nation has devolved into chaos over the illegal extension in office of US-backed president Jovenel Moise. As Jouthe is a supporter of Moise, opposition figures are asking if this is an example of rats jumping off a sinking ship or possibly offering him as a sacrifice in hopes of appeasing the opposition? Nicholas Davies, peace activist and author of "Blood on Our Hands: the American Invasion of Iraq," joins us to discuss US weapons sales. The US State Department has announced that they intend to move forward with the Trump administration's deal to sell 23 billion dollars in arms to the United Arab Emirates. The deal was crafted by the Trump foreign policy team as a sweetener for the agreement to normalize relations with Israel.Dan Lazare, investigative journalist and author of "America's Undeclared War," joins us to discuss US endless wars. In a detailed article in Newsweek, William M. Arkin writes that America can't stop its endless wars. He articulates in detail the development of a US war infrastructure that has made ongoing military conflict an integral part of our economic and political reality. He also explains how the US has developed methods for fighting war without the need for troops on the ground in targeted nations.
