    Episode 1: The Explosion

    Episode 1: The Explosion

    In a remote desert town in the summer of 2016, a bombing took place and almost no one noticed. When Glenn Jones killed himself and blew up the family home of Josh Cluff, no one thought much of it. But what if it was something more? What if the bombing was actually a small window into the world of extremist violence that's been fueled by the anti-government movement?

    Episode 2: The Bomber

    The 2016 bombing in Nevada is far from the only act of violence related to the self-described Patriot movement. In fact, it wasn't even the only bomb to blow up that year. Another explosion happened that summer near a Bureau of Land Management cabin in Arizona — and the man who pushed the detonator tells us what made him do it.

    Episode 3: The Martyr

    When police killed Arizona rancher LaVoy Finicum in 2016 during the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge takeover, a grand jury deemed it a justified shooting. But for the Patriot Movement, it was an assassination. They call Finicum a martyr. So, what happens when people who have a deep-seated mistrust of the government finally have a justification to take action?

    Episode 4: The Homeland

    Stevens County, Washington, has been the origin point for a litany of white supremacist and anti-government violence over the past 40 years. In a time of extreme political rhetoric and conspiratorial thinking, we explore how the Patriot movement is workshopping some of their most radical ideas here and who is being recruited into the movement.

    Episode 5: The Politician

    Episode 5: The Politician

    The violence perpetrated by the anti-government movement has long been fringe and rare. But more politicians are starting to accept extremist language and ideas as a part of their platform. One of those people is Washington state Rep. Matt Shea. He says he sees a chance for a 51st state in the Northwest — a place that would be governed by strict biblical laws and made up almost entirely of white people.

Such amazing reporting

I live in MT, and am aware of some of these groups & their behavior. Still, I'm blown away with how much more is here synthesized into several short, important hours. Thank you!

Semi bad reporting

I enjoyed this podcast over all with the movements of extreme domestic terrorists. And I would agree with you on most of your reporting but one thing. Your reporting on Steven’s county is a bit off. While reporting north Idaho’s Arian nation and the link to stevens county is false. Do they have a few crazies, yes. But what rule small community doesn’t. Born and raised in the area your reporter from Spokane was false about many things. The Kehoe family and Keyes family were not from the area, they moved there from out of the area and left the area and committed their crimes. What because Ted Bundy drove through the area once now he’s from stevens county now. Yes it’s conservative, sometimes bigoted, and is MAGA everywhere yes. It’s also a great place to live and raise a family away from large city crime and judgment. As a proud gay man in the small community of stevens county I see people that are excepting and full of love. Not how you portray us whatsoever.
