Welcome to The Spin State.

This week, we sat down with retired NYPD Lieutenant Zeek Arkham, to reflect on his career - from his experiences working with federal agencies, witnessing historic moments like Trump thanking him in close proximity, to the unexpected twists of patrol life, like mistakenly denying Bruce Springsteen entry into a club to riding in presidential motorcades. He discusses the realities of retirement, the shifting landscape of New York City’s police force, and the challenges of balancing safety, privacy, and civil liberties in a surveillance-heavy age.

Why does this episode matter? Because understanding the real stories behind the badge helps us appreciate the sacrifices and integrity of those who serve. It’s essential listening for anyone interested in law enforcement, justice, and the future of privacy in America.

Most people don’t realize how deeply surveillance tech and government overreach threaten our everyday lives—and in this episode, we pull back the curtain on the shocking realities behind the tools we voluntarily give away.

From a viral video of a grassroots revolt against oppressive cameras to the disturbing debate over the power and ethics of AI monitoring, this episode exposes the dangerous trajectory of our surveillance state. You'll discover how data brokers, police misuse of technology, and even the companies claiming to keep us safe are actually expanding their control—often at the cost of your rights. We break down the latest in security camera scandals, the truth about digital footprints, and the dark future of AI-enabled policing. Expect unfiltered insights, surprising revelations, and a call to arms for everyday activists.

We also explore the ethical dilemmas surrounding government agencies and private corporations, like Flock Safety, which dehumanize citizens under the guise of community safety. Learn how citizens are fighting back—whether through hacking, protests, or simply refusing to be monitored—and how you can join the movement to reclaim your privacy.

Welcome back to The Spin Cycle.

This week, we’re sitting down with Jeremy Todd, a congressional candidate in KY-04 who brazenly entered the race after Thomas Massie’s primary defeat - offering another alternative to the Uniparty candidates in the race.

We were plagued by technical issues in the first 45 minutes of the show with Jeremy’s camera, but the audio is there in its entirety. During the conversation, we were able to cover a ton of ground. From fiscal policy, to immigration, to AI Data Centers, and more, this episode is an exposition of his platform, a bird’s eye view of congressional politics, and an all around solid time.

If you live in KY-04 and you don’t want to vote for the lesser of two evils in this race, Jeremy Todd is a welcomed breath of fresh air. Please consider supporting him by donating to his campaign, buying some merch, or just spreading the word to help reach voters.
