'The Jews did something': US podcast under fire for antisemitic segment on Holocaust

[Beastly Boy]

The popular American podcast "Fresh and Fit," which boasts more than 1.5 million subscribers, has sparked outrage in recent days after airing a deeply antisemitic segment in which guests made inflammatory claims about the Holocaust—including the assertion that Jews "started it"—while the hosts laughed and agreed.

The controversial clip, which gained wide circulation on social media before being taken down, was recorded during an episode hosted by Myron Gaines, a former fitness and wellness influencer. It aired on the video platform Rumble. The panel featured influencers and young Americans who were asked: “What do you think of Hitler?”

The responses were shockingly disturbing, with several panelists attempting to justify the actions of the Nazi dictator. “They were up to something so the Germans wanted to take them out,” one said. “The Holocaust was the only way (Hitler could) take out a huge amount of Jews all in one setting. I already know what’s going on. I’m not dumb. The Jews did something there.” Others voiced agreement, with one saying, “I’m with you on that,” another adding, “They started it,” and a third calling Hitler "a man trying to save the world." The antisemitic rhetoric escalated further when one woman declared: “We need to take them out” and “We got to kill the mother***ers”—explicitly referring to Jews. Host Gaines did not challenge any of the remarks. Instead, he was seen smiling and laughing throughout the discussion

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) condemned the episode in a statement on the X platform, writing: "Myron Gaines, one of the hosts of the Fit and Fresh Podcast, is known for spreading vile antisemitism and misogyny to his more than 1.5 million subscribers. In one his latest episodes, he asked a group of young Americans for their thoughts on Hitler. Their answers and comments are beyond shocking. But what isn’t shocking is that Gaines did nothing to intervene. In fact, he reveled in it, egged it on, and often nodded in agreement. Platforming such extreme hatred and misinformation is irresponsible and disgusting – and it’s not ok."

While some debate the fine points of anti-Zionism vs antisemitism, Jew hatred proliferates, and no one cares to debate THIS.

It will only get worse.
