"Reasonable Suspicion" podcast host and a member of law enforcement for over 15 years, including the NYPD, Zeek Arkham is a media force to be reckoned with within the MAGA community.
The South Shore Press spoke to Arkham outside the Nassau Coliseum before President Trump took the stage for his rally on Wednesday, September 18th, 2024.
South Shore Press News Director Stefan Mychajlw: “Why are you so passionate about electing President Trump?”
Zeek Arkham: "Look at what is happening in this country. We have a border that is not secure. People want to be safe and secure in their homes. Look at the price of groceries. People have to choose between buying groceries or turning their lights on. Feeding their family or paying their mortgage.
"Joe Biden came in, gas went up, it cost more to keep your house, to buy groceries. There’s people who shouldn’t be in this country in the first place because they came here the wrong way, who are now committing crimes in this country.
"So we just want our country back. We want a return to normalcy."
SM: "You worked in law enforcement. When Antifa and Black Lives Matter burnt down Minneapolis, the governor refused to call in the National Guard, and Kamala Harris supported the bail fund to spring them from jail. Is that disqualifying to be commander in chief?"
ZA: “She’s a fake cop. No real member of law enforcement would ever be on the side of rioters, saying they are proud of them, or support a bail fund for them. She likes to say ‘I’m in law enforcement. And my clientele were the American people.’ When? When you’re supporting the rioters? When you’re supporting criminals?
SM: “The immigration issue in Springfield, Ohio is huge, especially for law enforcement. There’s a migrant mess with tens of thousands of Haitian immigrants there. Isn’t that a microcosm of what’s going on across America?”
ZA: “You have all these illegal immigrants coming in. Let’s call them what they are: illegal immigrants. They’re not undocumented. They’re pouring across the border. What Trump said was right. You have jails in El Salvador being emptied out. They’re sending their criminals here. Jails in Guatemala are being emptied out. They’re sending their criminals here. They don’t respect the rule of law in their own country. What makes you think they’re going to respect the rule of law in this country? What’s happening in Springfield, Ohio, is just one example of what’s happening across this country.
"It’s going to get worse if somehow Harris gets into office. She failed at her job. She was the ‘Border Czar,’ and she failed miserably. She’s failed upwards her entire career.”
