Fresh and Fit podcast repeatedly platformed antisemitism long before Holocaust clip
Host called Hitler “a visionary” and claimed Jews control banks in clips predating viral outrage
A podcast with more than 1.5 million subscribers has repeatedly aired extreme racist content, with host Myron Gaines denying the Holocaust and praising Hitler in multiple clips that have resurfaced.
The Fresh and Fit podcast, which first came under fire last week after panellists claimed “Jews deserved” the Holocaust and called for their murder while Gaines laughed along, has now been linked to additional footage showing the host himself spreading conspiracy theories and glorifying the Nazi regime.
In the new clips, reviewed by Jewish News, Gaines declares: “The Holocaust is the base – if we debunk that, the whole f***ing house of cards crashes down,” and claims, “Hitler was widely misrepresented” and “not as evil” as history suggests.
He continues: “The gas chambers – questionable. The cremations – nearly impossible. The witnesses – not really credible. They never found any real documentation saying, ‘We need to kill the Jews’.”
In another segment, Gaines, a former federal agent turned online influencer, states: “We are occupied and controlled by the Jews… World Jewry and the power and influence of Zionist Jews all across the world have been a thing for a while. We need to take our country back from these Jewish supremacists.”
He also asserts that Germany was “better off with Hitler in charge” and reads from Mein Kampf, saying: “I’m a free thinker. I don’t believe a lot of the history of World War II.”
The podcast, co-hosted by Walter Weekes and streamed on Rumble after being demonetised by YouTube, has long been accused of promoting misogyny and hate. But the resurfaced material suggests a consistent platforming of antisemitic ideology, not just a one-off outburst by guests.
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) said: “Myron Gaines… is known for spreading vile antisemitism and misogyny… Platforming such extreme hatred and misinformation is irresponsible and disgusting – and it’s not okay.”
While the earlier viral clip sparked outrage for its explicit Holocaust glorification, the newly exposed comments suggest Gaines’ own views mirror and exceed those of his guests.
Despite multiple controversies, Gaines continues to stream content to hundreds of thousands via Rumble, where he promotes himself as a “free speech” advocate.
