A Podcast Had Guests Calling on People to ‘Take Down’ and ‘Kill’ Jews — and Nothing Happened

Is a podcast guest in America permitted to call for the killing of Jews?
As far as I know, that’s incitement.
A random antisemitic female guest appeared on the Fresh and Fit Podcast with host Myron Gaines, whose real name is Amrou Fudl. The show has more than 1.5 million subscribers.
Gaines pretends to be an intellect, and he is not a very good actor. He is a coward and a fool.
Put aside that Gaines is the author of a book called, Why Women Deserve Less.
Gaines asked his guests: “What do you guys think about Hitler?”
Here’s how The Forward describes the now-deleted video:
The deleted video, from a segment titled “After Hours w/Girls,” included this exchange.
“What if the Jewish did something to the Germans that made them act a certain way, but nobody wants to talk about it? Like the Jews don’t want to take accountability,” said a woman on the six-person podcast panel, identified by Canary Mission as a recent high school grad named Suzette.
“They was up to something, so the Germans wanted to take them out. Like, it had to be something,” she continued.
“They started it,” another woman chimed in.
“How do we take them down?” co-host Walter Weekes asked.
“We gotta kill the motherf—ers,” responded a second woman, identified by Canary Mission as Kadriyanna James.
A clip of the guest calling on people to “kill the motherf—ers” can be found here.
We also hear someone say Jews are “selfish.”
Sadly, many foolish people will think this is great content — and many will agree with it.
A few years ago, there would have been repercussions for a host having this kind of show. Now, there will be none.
What started with Kanye West and continued with Candace Owens spewing conspiracy theories has now flowed into new territory. Antisemitism is no longer simply normalized; it is welcomed to get clicks, and is seen as cool.
It is true that podcast hosts can have wild opinions, but this is simply beyond the pale. Gaines had to know where this was going.
A guest goes on to say “the Jews did something” — but of course she doesn’t say what they did, because she knows she will get attention just by spewing hate against Jews.
Sadly, many of the viewers might think she is correct, simply because the podcast has millions of listeners — many of whom are uninformed.
A male guest says, “How do we take them down?” This guy is asking how to “take down” the Jews.
Someone else said “kill the mother-f-ers.”
How does the host not speak out against that? No other group in America has a show saying that they should be killed — only Jews, in 2025.
America is built on free speech, but you cannot call for killing people.
Just when I thought things could not get lower, they do. And of the other guests who remained silent, almost nobody would sit quietly as someone called for the killing of any other minority group in America.
Ironically, the female guest, who is Black, was defending a man who referred to Black people as inferior and said they were infecting the white race. Perhaps she should pick up a copy of Mein Kampf before rationalizing Hitler’s actions.
Still, how many people who watch this podcast will think this idiotic guest is correct?
Freedom of speech doesn’t extend to saying people should be killed. But of course the government won’t act — because Jews are the target.
Gaines will likely face few repercussions — who knows, it could even help his career. It’s utterly disgusting and disgraceful.

After False Dawns, Gazans Hope Trump Will Force End to Two-Year-Old War

Exhausted Palestinians in Gaza clung to hopes on Saturday that US President Donald Trump would keep up pressure on Israel to end a two-year-old war that has killed tens of thousands and displaced the entire population of more than two million.
Hamas’ declaration that it was ready to hand over hostages and accept some terms of Trump’s plan to end the conflict while calling for more talks on several key issues was greeted with relief in the enclave, where most homes are now in ruins.
“It’s happy news, it saves those who are still alive,” said 32-year-old Saoud Qarneyta, reacting to Hamas’ response and Trump’s intervention. “This is enough. Houses have been damaged, everything has been damaged, what is left? Nothing.”
GAZAN RESIDENT HOPES ‘WE WILL BE DONE WITH WARS’
Ismail Zayda, 40, a father of three, displaced from a suburb in northern Gaza City where Israel launched a full-scale ground operation last month, said: “We want President Trump to keep pushing for an end to the war, if this chance is lost, it means that Gaza City will be destroyed by Israel and we might not survive.
“Enough, two years of bombardment, death and starvation. Enough,” he told Reuters on a social media chat.
“God willing this will be the last war. We will hopefully be done with the wars,” said 59-year-old Ali Ahmad, speaking in one of the tented camps where most Palestinians now live.
“We urge all sides not to backtrack. Every day of delay costs lives in Gaza, it is not just time wasted, lives get wasted too,” said Tamer Al-Burai, a Gaza City businessman displaced with members of his family in central Gaza Strip.
After two previous ceasefires — one near the start of the war and another earlier this year — lasted only a few weeks, he said; “I am very optimistic this time, maybe Trump’s seeking to be remembered as a man of peace, will bring us real peace this time.”
RESIDENT WORRIES THAT NETANYAHU WILL ‘SABOTAGE’ DEAL
Some voiced hopes of returning to their homes, but the Israeli military issued a fresh warning to Gazans on Saturday to stay out of Gaza City, describing it as a “dangerous combat zone.”
Gazans have faced previous false dawns during the past two years, when Trump and others declared at several points during on-off negotiations between Hamas, Israel and Arab and US mediators that a deal was close, only for war to rage on.
“Will it happen? Can we trust Trump? Maybe we trust Trump, but will Netanyahu abide this time? He has always sabotaged everything and continued the war. I hope he ends it now,” said Aya, 31, who was displaced with her family to Deir Al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip.
She added: “Maybe there is a chance the war ends at October 7, two years after it began.”

Mass Rally in Rome on Fourth Day of Italy’s Pro-Palestinian Protests

Large crowds assembled in central Rome on Saturday for the fourth straight day of protests in Italy since Israel intercepted an international flotilla trying to deliver aid to Gaza, and detained its activists.
People holding banners and Palestinian flags, chanting “Free Palestine” and other slogans, filed past the Colosseum, taking part in a march that organizers hoped would attract at least 1 million people.
“I’m here with a lot of other friends because I think it is important for us all to mobilize individually,” Francesco Galtieri, a 65-year-old musician from Rome, said. “If we don’t all mobilize, then nothing will change.”
Since Israel started blocking the flotilla late on Wednesday, protests have sprung up across Europe and in other parts of the world, but in Italy they have been a daily occurrence, in multiple cities.
On Friday, unions called a general strike in support of the flotilla, with demonstrations across the country that attracted more than 2 million, according to organizers. The interior ministry estimated attendance at around 400,000.
Italy’s right-wing government has been critical of the protests, with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni suggesting that people would skip work for Gaza just as an excuse for a longer weekend break.
On Saturday, Meloni blamed protesters for insulting graffiti that appeared on a statue of the late Pope John Paul II outside Rome’s main train station, where Pro-Palestinian groups have been holding a protest picket.
“They say they are taking to the streets for peace, but then they insult the memory of a man who was a true defender and builder of peace. A shameful act committed by people blinded by ideology,” she said in a statement.
Israel launched its Gaza offensive after Hamas terrorists staged a cross border attack on October 7, 2023, killing some 1,200 people and taking 251 people hostage.
