A recent episode of a U.S.-based podcast has sparked national outrage after guests praised Adolf Hitler, justified the Holocaust, and made violent threats against Jews—all while the host smirked and laughed.

The controversial remarks came during an episode of The Fit and Fresh After Hours podcast, hosted by Myron Gaines and broadcast on the video platform Rumble.

The podcast, known for its provocative conversations, crossed a dangerous line when several young panelists engaged in openly antisemitic rhetoric.

In a now-deleted clip that went viral on social media, a female guest launched into a tirade defending Hitler’s actions during the Holocaust.

“The Jews did something to the Germans that made them act a certain way,” she claimed. “The Holocaust was the only way [Hitler could] take out a huge amount of Jews all in one setting.”

“They are stealing from American people,” she added, blaming Jews for the collapse of American systems. “They’re the reason the healthcare system, and everything around us is falling apart.”

Rather than challenge the comments, other panelists offered support. “I’m with you on that one,” said one.

Another added, “They started it.” One guest even encouraged her: “Talk s**t about them.”

The segment escalated even further when the group began discussing what actions should be taken.

“We need to take them out,” one said. Another added: “We got to kill the motherf***ers.”

Host Myron Gaines, who appeared on camera throughout the discussion, reacted by smiling, rolling his eyes, and laughing but did not attempt to stop or condemn the conversation.

Gaines, whose real name is Amrou Fudl, has often taken to X to launch expletive-laden tirades against Jews and Judaism.

The footage was widely condemned after being reposted on X (formerly Twitter) by Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY), who described it as “profoundly disturbing.”

Torres warned that “the only thing more terrifying than Holocaust denial is Holocaust glorification.”

“The comfort with which these commentators defend the most evil man ever to roam the earth should send chills down the spine of every decent person,” he added.

Conservative political commentator Scott Jennings also weighed in with a scathing monologue posted to X.

“This is one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever seen,” Jennings said.

He identified the host, Myron Gaines, by name and criticized him for sitting by silently while dangerous hate speech unfolded on his platform.

Jennings called the episode a sign of rising antisemitism among young Americans and urged a stronger national response.

While Rumble has since removed the video, neither Gaines nor the podcast has issued an apology.

The incident has renewed concerns about the radicalizing power of influencer platforms and the normalization of hate speech online.

Critics say the episode illustrates how conspiracy theories and violent rhetoric are being casually spread by young creators to massive audiences—with few, if any, consequences.

As the backlash continues, many are calling on major platforms, advertisers, and political leaders to take a harder stance against online antisemitism and the figures who help amplify it.
