Speaker 1 (00:00):
H Hello friends, I'm Robert Evans, and this is once
again Behind the Bastards the Sure we tell you everything
you don't know about the very worst people in all
of history. Uh. And today we're actually doing a contemporary episode.
We're not even diving in the history. We are talking
about the bastards of the two thousand eighteen midterm election. Now,

(00:21):
this episode will be dropping on a Thursday, which you
know if you're listening to it because it's a Thursday,
or you're listening to it after it's aired, in which
case I want you to act spiritually as if today
as a Thursday. Um, just in your own lives. Now,
the first episode of our mid term coverage was on
a Mr Ted Cruz, a man so shitty he needed
like fourteen pages of writing on him. But today we're

(00:43):
talking about something different because in all of the chaos
of two thousand eighteen, which has been a chaotic year. Uh,
it would be totally understandable if you listening at home
missed the fact that a couple of basketball teams worth
of white supremacists and Nazis all ran from major state
and federal offices this year. Uh. Now, the good news
of that a lot of these guys were running in
primaries and have already been eliminated by the time of

(01:04):
this recording. UH, guys like Paul Neelon. He lost the
Republican primary race this year in Wisconsin's first congressional district.
Now he's run several times against Paul Ryan, and he
was essentially running to take Paul Ryan soon to be
vacated space this year. UH. This year when he ran,
Mr Neelon enjoyed the support of Sarah Palin, Steve Bannon,
and other popular conservative figures until reporters revealed his open

(01:25):
support of white nationalism. See It turns out Mr Neelon
had guessed on an anti Semitic podcast called Fashion the Nation.
Oh my God. During this episode of this podcast, he
had advised a Jewish magazine editor to quote self deport
and quote eat a bullet. Mr Neelon denies being a fascist.
He's just showing up on Fashion the Nation, but he's

(01:46):
not a You know, it does sound fashy, sounds a
little fashy. Were you getting that from Katie? You know? Um,
his words really his words? Yeah, And I guess the
title of the podcast. Speaking of titles, I did not
introduce you guys when we started this. I'm just so
used to talking with you about terrible things happen. Collis,

(02:07):
My guest today are from the the some News network,
uh some more News Network. You're right, you're right, legally
sak Katie Stole and Cody Johnston, whose name I mispronounced
in the first episode despite working with you for virtually
the entirety of my twenties, it's very easy, almost a

(02:29):
decade since I couldn't legally drink good times anyway. Yeah,
thank you for having Yeah, thank you for being on.
Are you guys excited to talk about the the actual
straight up fascists and white supremacists who might win in
November literally can't win now, We're not. I want to
make it clear here, I'm not We're not just talking
about Republicans. We're not calling all Republicans fascists. Everyone on

(02:52):
this list is someone you can incredibly argue is a
straight up Nazi. That's the distinction because also, and you have,
you know a lot of Republicans you know sort of
nuzzle up too. Fascists are like white supremosis groups. But
there now there's a category of people who are just like,
oh yeah, I'm into it. These guys are full on fascists.

(03:13):
They're not just cradling the balls of fascists. Yeah, so,
I'm sorry. I didn't want to portray cradling the balls
is a negative thing. This podcast is. We're in the
wrong crushing. Shouldn't have started on this. There are lots
of types of balls to cradle in this situation. Those
are fascist balls. There fascist balls. So that's the balls

(03:33):
that they choose to exactly, and all of the balls
in this story are fashion I don't know why I
let this go so far. Let's just keep going with it.
So uh now, Mr Mr neelon the guy who told
a Jewish magazine editor to eat a bullet, selfort and
self deport the vote in the election. Now he's still lost.

(03:56):
But this means that six thousand, six d and thirty
five people thought this guy would be a good congressman.
Too many people. Too many people. Now the good news
is he's still lost. But the bad news is that
a whole bunch of people just like him when in
November people like Russell Walker. Now, Russell Walker is a
candidate for North Carolina House District forty eight. If you're
in Hoke or Scotland County, North Carolina and listening to

(04:18):
this right now, this dude might be elected to represent
you in November. Now, I just learned about him from
a Rally News and Observer article titled God is racist,
Jewish people all descend from Satan, North Carolina. Candidate says, yes,
right there we go. God is racist and Jewish people
come from the devil. Russell Walker. Uh, as you might expect,

(04:41):
Russell Walker's campaign website is something else. Uh, Cody, why
don't you why don't you describe that? That picture there,
that's a just walk our readers through. That's the landing
page to his campaign web This the pictures will be
on our website. Behind the bastardy man with very large
clothes that don't quite fit his body. Um. And he's

(05:04):
an older white man, bald with a donkey, um who
described as my little white ass and me what um?
And I'm gonna reserve judgment because you know who knows
what his views are. I mean I do because of
what we're talking about. Oh, it's Mr Building? What aged?

(05:28):
He looks kind of like Mr Building with a donkey.
So yeah, Russell Walker quaint little website looks like it
was designed by an elderly racist who believes Jews to
send from Satan. To his credit, Russell's campaign platform does
include ending the war on drugs and reducing police brutality.
It also demands an into forced vaccinations, institution of English

(05:49):
as the official language, and the removal of fluoride from
our tap water. He could almost be any fringe candidate,
left or right wing until you scroll down a little
bit more and you find his rant against the Southern
Poverty Law Center, who, as you might imagine, have declared
him an anti Semite. Here's part of his response. They
hate those who do not agree with them and seek

(06:10):
to destroy by any means their opponents. They are not Southern,
they are Jewish. How dare those Jews call me in
anti Semite? Wow, they're just mad because I says it
like it is. Yeah. Um, I'm interested to know how
he plans to end the war on drugs because I

(06:32):
bet it's not something that I would be supportive. Darkness
in there. Yeah, also the idea that you can't be
Southern in Jewish. A lot of Jewish cowboys, one of
them was in a great episode of the Simpsons, fantastic episode. Uh.
He doesn't seem like a Simpsons fan. Now I don't
think he is. Probably maybe he should be. Certainly not
that episode. Certainly not anything written by Hollywood, for reasons

(06:56):
that I'm sure he would want to elaborate on. Weird.
I wonder if there's going to be any more weird
anti Semitism. The next sentence I've written later in his website,
he makes a comment about the funding of the s
l PC and then says this the Southern Poverty Law
Center a k a. Shylock Putrid Lion Cabal. We're not done.

(07:19):
The ultimate hate group. They cry hate. They are not
just haters, but all caps hypocrites. His blood be upon
us and on our children. Matthew Ashkenas Jews descend from
jap and not from him Genesis Tin one through three.
The anti Semitic thing is a blatant lie. It's like

(07:40):
your racist uncle head Aphasia proof read it, man, like,
write it and then think about what you're trying to
convince people of, and then read it. How dare of
a hate group? Is haters people who hate it? When
he is anti Semitic, These Jews, these Jews, anti semitic, unbelievable.

(08:09):
It's I mean, at least he doesn't have a section
on his website that literally is just like the holocaustant nap.
Some some candidates this year have had that. We'll be
talking about them in minutes. Yeah, that's Russell Walker. Russell Walker.
You'll be happy to know the Republican Party of North
Carolina has pulled all funding and support from Russell after

(08:30):
his views became publicized them. Yeah, after his views became publicized.
Really important, really important clause there. We should note that
North Carolina is not the only state Republican Party dealing
with a surprise fascist candidate. Surprise, Yeah, hit me. The Nazi.
Arthur Jones started as a kookie French candidate in the

(08:51):
Illinois third Congressional district. The state party was against him
from the beginnings to the Republican Party due to the
fact that he bragged about his past membership in the
American Nazi Party. Yeah, he was a member of the
American Nazi Party until and he bragged about it. He
did brag about it. Yeah, but then Jones won the primary. Anyway,
you know, the state Republican Party was against him in
retrospect and maybe in forspect. The party had numerous opportunities

(09:13):
to stop Jones before he got this far. Political Yeah, well,
Political notes that the Illinois State Republican Party missed the
deadline to register a third party candidate for its members
to vote for in the general election in lieu of
the Nazi quote. Prior to that, the party had also
failed to recruit a candidate to challenge Jones in the
primary election, failed to knock him off the primary ballot,

(09:33):
and wasn't able to field a write in candidate against
him in the primary. Okay, so what this actually means
is that they're just not going to officially support him.
That they were like, you don't just fail to do
your job like that. We don't like that this Nazi
is running as a Republican, but we will take literally
no action to stop him from becoming our candida. We
do like winning, though, We do like winning. Interesting that

(09:56):
they feel like they need to come out against these people,
but not strong enough, and even when they do, they
get voted for. Like maybe the party is sort of
like taken on a form that they weren't expecting, sort
of like the natural progression of their ideology over many decades,
and we're sort of seeing like, oh oh, oh, the

(10:17):
curtain has been pulled back. Like if you keep relentlessly
pulling to the right and refusing to compromise with anyone
who happens to be on the left, eventually that leads
you into fascism. Maybe maybe, maybe, maybe that's what I'm saying.
Maybe maybe there's some some press and I wonder if
the exact same thing happened in Germany in the nineteen
twenties and thirties, that would be good to know. There's
no way to find out there. How would you even

(10:39):
begin to look at history. It's imposting. It's impossible to
study that sort of thing now. When Politico interviewed Arthur Jones,
Jones expressed shock and glee that his state Republican Party
hadn't registered a third party candidate for the general Yeah,
Politico actually informed him that they weren't running a candidate
against him as a third party. He didn't even even know. Really,

(11:03):
you know what the worst combination of reactions is from
an actual Nazi SHO they didn't put up a third
party candidate, Jones asked, when reached by phone Thursday. That's great,
that's fantastic. I snuckerd them, he said of state Republicans.
I played by the rules. What can I say? Oh?

(11:23):
How so? How bad is Jones aside from the small
manner of having at one point been a literal registered Nazi. Well,
I'd like to turn to his website, specifically the section
of it just titled Holocaust. It's just the one. It's
just the website I was talking to Holocaust with the

(11:44):
question mark. The whole Holocaust question mark section appears to
just be a series of scammed images of very old
Holocaust denial pamphlets. Katie, you want to describe this and
then maybe read the first paragraph. First off, just tell
us what is this scanned document look like? Well, it
looks legit. Um, it's got a funky font that says

(12:06):
the Holocaust in quotes racket. You want the first paragraph
of that thing? Where don't you describe the little image
on there? First? Yeah, there's the uh what is in
the middle of this that's the star of day the
hammer and in the middle of the yes, yes, and

(12:27):
they can't um overstate how fun the font is. Super fun.
And then okay, the first paragraph says this idea that
six million Jews were killed by the National Socialist government
of Germany in World War Two is the biggest blackest
lie in history other than a few professional concentration camp survivors.

(12:50):
That's all in caps, such as the concentration camp survivors,
that's what they're saying, Oh my god, such as the
late Simon Eisenthal, you know, Simon Vaisenthal, famed, it's a famed,
fake concentration. The current Semitic superstar Eli Wisel. There is

(13:11):
no proof such a so called Holocaust ever took place
anywhere in Europe against the Jews. Yeah, so well, you know, God,
that's convincing is that he's also like, well, the Nazis
were actually socialists, just call them nationals. So like seeing that,
I'm like, okay, So not only are you saying, like,

(13:33):
what like the thing that Nazis did that was bad,
they didn't even do that, but also they're the bad
thing that you need to reject, Like there's no you
can't together. It's like a double side collision of crazy
in the car of our national I mean, listen, he
is so blatantly anti Semitic. I almost don't understand why

(13:53):
you even need to deny the Holocaust, Like like, well,
he doesn't deny it, he's just asking questions, which is
why it's just I'm just asking questions, questions about the Holocaust. Man.
This is a neat scan of Nazi propaganda. Yeah, of
a pamphlet like you would find shoved into your mailbox

(14:15):
after fucking swastika was spray painted on your garage door. Yeah.
Uh so, congratulations Illinois Republicans. This guy officially represents y'all
in the eyes of the world because you had a
chance to stop him, and instead of trying to stop him,
did nothing. I didn't try, didn't try at all, didn't
try at all. Wasn't that big a deal. Don't seem

(14:36):
to mind, don't seem to mind. I do hope he
loses the election. Well at that point, also, like this
is the thing that really frustrates me. I mean, aside
from everything, aside from everything, but like with the Republican
Party in this situation, and I think to a degree
this applies to like Donald Trump as a person and
as as their president. But like in this situation, come
out and say vote for the Democrat. Yeah, that's what

(14:58):
you do when you're accidentally running a Nazi. Yeah, when
a Nazi is and you didn't, maybe like put forth
another candidate, and you've done nothing to make sure that
the Nazi doesn't win. When that happens, you say, vote
for the Democrat. We Republicans were sorry we put forth
the Nazi this time, but don't vote for the Nazi.
We don't support the Nazi. Democrats to vote for the Nazi. Yeah,

(15:20):
officially say it. You just can't officially say it. But
they can do nothing to stop the Nazi from winning.
The good news is that this has played very badly
for the state's Republican governor. It's possible he might lose
reelection as a result of this, So you know, fingers,
motherfucking cross. It's actually kind of remarkable how bad state
Republican parties have been at containing the spread of fascism
in white supremacy within their own ranks. It's almost like

(15:40):
they don't care enough to even try to stop it.
This brings me to the Commonwealth of you. On Tuesday,
August two, eighteen, Corey Stewart beat Nick Fritis in the
Virginia Republican Senate primary. Stewart is running against Tim Kaine
this November. When Stewart won, the President Donald Trump sent
out a congratulatory tweet, congratulations to Corey Stewart for his
great victory for Senator from Virginia. Now he runs against

(16:02):
a total stiff, Tim Kane, who was weak on crime
and borders and wants to raise your taxes through the roof.
Don't underestimate Corey a major chance of winning. Now, I've
got a picture of the tweet on this, and I'm
going to hand this to you, Cody, And why don't
you read up at the top. Who retweeted Donald Trump? There?
Jason Kessler, organizer of the first Unite the Right rally. Now,

(16:25):
of course this doesn't necessarily say anything can can retweet whoever, However,
Jason Kessler, the white supremacist who planned and organized the
first two Unite the Right rallies Virginia. In Virginia knows
Corey Stewart because before the first Unite the Right rally,
Stewart made several passionate speeches and defensive Confederate monuments. He
also showed up at Charlottesville to support Jason Kessler's attempt

(16:46):
to get Counselor West Bellamy removed removed from office for
quote supporting a black supremacist agenda. So Corey Stewart was
unning for governor at that point, but he didn't soften
his attitudes on the Confederacy once he started his Senate campaign,
or in the wake of the bloody Unite the Right
rally for that matter. At one rally in two thousand seventeen,
he stood next to a Confederate battle flag and stated, folks,

(17:07):
this is a symbol of heritage. It is not a
symbol of racism. It is not a symbol of slavery.
I am proud to be here with this flag. No,
white man, you don't get to say, what's a symbols
all it ever wants. But also, yeah, you don't get
to say that this is not a symbol as thing.
This means this, No, it doesn't mean no. It was

(17:30):
the battle flag of a nation founded for slavery. It's like,
there's a video I saw the day was another one
of these like we want to tear down this statue,
would take down this, uh, this slavery flag, and as
an argument being recorded and like look at this person,
he's like being so mad. But then the person who
wants the statue to say is being very respectful and

(17:50):
they just wanted to have a conversation, and you zoom
in the video in the back of his ears an tattoo.
It's like you're not even trying to hide him, and
you're just enough. It doesn't matter how polite's being. He's
a Nazi. Like you, just don't trust Nazis. Yeah, don't
don't believe what they say. If I feel like that
should be a whole class we have to take in

(18:10):
high school. Don't trust Nazis, don't trust don't don't trust Nazis.
Things that are Nazis the class, just like apparently we
need it. There's some room for debate on things that
are Nazis. But SS ruins on your neck, that's a
pretty clear I've also heard it's just the it's half
of the Kiss logo. Finish it, then finish the kiss

(18:31):
logo or that or that that unit of Marine Corps
snipers who said it stood for Scott Sniper even though
it was the exact same things and they had a
banner printed up and good times. So yeah, the good
news is that Corey Stewart will almost certainly lose his
race against the incumbent, So good on you, Tim Kane,
bashing against fascism, bull work of democracy and guy I

(18:53):
completely forgot existed. On November nine, two sixteen. We were
watching the news recently and Tim Kaine apparently was on,
and we were like, that's not Tim Kane. That's not
what he looks like. Is it is that generic man
with his teachers receding into a self Tim Kane, who
is this potato with googly eyes? Sorry, Tim Caine. He's

(19:15):
the distilled essence of a Democrat politician. Yeah, most forgettable man.
They just picked one who spoke Spanish, where like, this
is enough to you can you can do it. You
hold the line, You'll really help that inferno of charisma
Hillary Clinton deliver her message. We need to sort of
balance these Canadas her wild firebrand. They have two dynamos,

(19:40):
too much, too much flavor. Really good strategy from the Democrats, solid,
solid plan. Well that's the one thing I know about
Democrats is they're good at strategy. Yeah, yeah, they're really
masters of that. Speaking of not Democrats. Next up on
our list of fascists who might have political power very
soon is Bill Fowl. Like Arthur Jones, He's from Illinois.

(20:02):
He believes the Sandy Hook mash shooting of two thousand twelve,
in which twenty children were murdered, was a false flag attack.
Here is a post from his campaign's Facebook page. It's
elect Fowel. It's a it's pictures of a principle that
died at the Sandy Hook school, and it essentially is
arguing that she looks like someone who is present at
the Boston marathon bombing. And so this woman who was

(20:23):
murdered protecting children was actually an actor hired by the
government to take away your guns. Cool, right, I wish
I could get one of those jobs, working as an
actor for the government. There's a whole snokes conspiracy theory
on this lady. It's it's whack up. I mean, there's
two different people. There are two different people. It's just
not it's just very offensive. Other posts by the followl
campaign list the San Bernardino attacks in nine eleven as

(20:45):
false flags. Nine eleven. By the way, it was done
by the massad. Interesting. I wonder if that's gonna have
anatic undertones. No, no, now, Fawol does seem to have
a special obsession with Sandy Hook. My favorite post of
his is a Facebook post a link to wak Shington's blog.
The title of the article is overwhelming irrefutable video and
documentary evidence Sandy Hook and at their false flag criminal attack.

(21:08):
And the picture with it is just George Washington next
to George Washington denying the murder of twenty children. Classic
George got und imagine, Well it's Washington. They uncovered George
Washington's old blog post about Sandy Hook. I'm sure he'd

(21:29):
be proud to be associated with this. Oh. Absolutely. If
there's one thing George Washington loved, it was denying the
murder of great school children. Bill Fowell was also an
early prominent supporter of the pizza Gate conspiracy theory. It
was shocker right. He claimed in an interview that there
is nothing fake about pizza Gate, and he posted this
to his Facebook on November two, sixteen. Click on and

(21:51):
like at the bottom of the first paragraph of this
article and see the YouTube videos of coment Pizza confirming
the Podesta Pedophilia January party to celebrate the birth of
their Lord. Yeah. You might think I'm crazy, but I'm
just sharing the increasingly obvious truth that Satanists are trying
to take over America. He's right, I do think he's crazy.
I do think he's crazy. I think now by the

(22:12):
standards of this list However, I will say Foul is
probably the best person we're going to talk about today
because so far nothing inherently Nazi. Okay, so he's just
kind of a crackpot Alex John supporter. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
he does believe again that the Massad was behind nine
eleven seems like something. Yeah, well, he he seems like

(22:33):
more of a normal conspiracy right wing kind of candidate
than an explicitly fascist one. And that's why he first
ran unopposed in his primary. That's also why he was
able to secure endorsements from several Illinois Republican groups. But
then Media Matters helped break the story of his conspiracy
theorist bullshit. And you know when they did this, they
asked the Rock Island County GOP chair Drew Milky, if

(22:53):
the fact that this guy was spouting Pizza Gate conspiracy
theories changed his endorsement. Milky said, we support Foul and
he's a constitutionalist. In talking to him, I've heard him
focusing on the issues of our district. There are a
lot of things that Bill Fowel could do for our
districtblicly ignore the problem though. Well, after this, all Republican
Party officials in Illinois have since withdrawn their support of Fowl.

(23:13):
Before we leave him, I do want to note that
some heroic journalists over at CNN unearthed a bunch of
his old blog post and found that he also believes
Beyonce is part of the illuminati, which is, in fairness,
a reasonable thing to believe. Sure, Yeah, I mean, if
anyone's going to be that will be her. She in
it without jay z it seems like itationship. You would
have to ask Mr Fowl I do. I will pinpoint

(23:37):
nothing explicitly like, oh, you're not anti Semitic, openly like
you're not like literally saying I support fascism. But there
is a very clear like tie between fascism and like
far right conspiracy theories. Yeah, it's umberto Echo is probably
the first person to really noted that there has to
be the sense of being under siege and by like
international conspiracies outside and inside, or of trying to take

(24:00):
you down, and like you see that in all these
sort of fascist groups, that they have these wild conspiracy
theories about maybe a specific race of people, but maybe not.
Maybe it's all about the ers meet right down to it.
May if you like dig a little bit push push, push, push,
and find out speaking of not that Thank goodness, you

(24:21):
know what's good and not racist or this is a
bad ad? I think it's really good. You want you guys.
I was going to say products. It sounds very interesting
to me. I like products. All right, let's hear some
of products and also perhaps a service or three, and

(24:44):
we're back. We're talking about the fascists and the one
guy who's kind of on ads, you know, conspiracy theories,
Bill Fowl. Best guy we've talked about so far. Now
we're moving on to John Fitzgerald. Now we've been hitting
the Midwest in the South pretty hard so far. But
John Fitzgerald is running in California's eleventh congressional district. History
ought to be nombly familiar to y'all by now. The

(25:05):
headline the New York Times gave to this July sixth
article is a good starter. Summary of his campaign, Holocaust
denier in California congressional race leaves state GOP scrambling scrambling. Well,
this one's this is what you're gonna laugh. You're gonna laugh.
It sounds hilarious. So far in June, he won almost

(25:27):
a quarter of the votes in his district's open primary,
making him number two overall in the district. Now, the
eleventh Congressional District is around Berkeley, so we're talking about
the San Francisco Bay Area. We are talking about what
is generally considered to be a bashion of leftism. This
guy one, yeah, about a quarter of the votes, and
he was the top ranking Republican. So he's gonna wind
up running against the Democrat here. And the State Republican

(25:50):
Party of California had a policy of whenever there was
a Republican who was the only Republican running in a district,
automatically endorsing him. That was the policy, you know, adomatically
endorsed these people. So they automatically endorsed John Fitzgerald when
he when he came at number two. Now this became
a real big problem for them after the primary when
John Fitzgerald grew more open about his beliefs. About three

(26:12):
weeks after becoming the endorsed candidate of the California Republican Party,
he showed up on a radio show and stated, everything
we've been told about the Holocaust is a lie. My
entire campaign, for the most part, is about exposing this lie.
That's not it's California bals, California bro his entire campaign.
That is, I can't imagine that this development is going

(26:34):
to help him. Well, I mean, the California Republican Party
did eventually disavow Mr Fitzgerald, stating in an email to
The New York Times, once we learned of Mr Fitzgerald's
anti Semitic worldview in late May, we moved immediately to
undo the unfortunate automatic endorsement. Maybe automatic endorsements are a
bad idea, right, like it, but maybe undo the policy.

(26:58):
Maybe consider that, Yeah, take get a step first, like
what was what was the problem in the first place? Yeah,
if I were to have accidentally endorsed Holocaust, and I
would think really carefully about the things that may happen,
like why did you Why did you automatically endorsed Holocaust?
And I are without knowing that he was a Holocaust
and I are. Yeah, did some some tips for the

(27:20):
California But maybe that like yeah, and I'm sure they're listening,
taken under advisement, they're big listeners of the show, big fans.
You're doing a great job. You're doing other than this endorsing. Now,
John Fitzgerald, of course has a website. Uh now, when
I first visited his website, it had a very long
and detailed section about the sinking of the USS Liberty,

(27:41):
which was a US warship that was off the coast
of Israel and was accidentally destroyed by the Israelis in
like the seventies or eighties. It was just a horrible accident,
and he had a whole thing about John Fitzgerald's attitude.
It has since been removed from his website, and in fact,
I can no longer find anything anti semitic on John
Fitzgerald's website. Uh yeah, yeah, yeah, as of right now.

(28:02):
The first three or four paragraphs of his platform statement
are broadly sane seeming, if inaccurate. It takes about six
paragraphs before he claims that the nine eleven report was
a fraud and starts ranting about geo engineering and airborne aluminum,
which is airborne aluminum. I love that's why planes work, science, Oh, airplanes.

(28:28):
I love the bar that we have. Now of visitings website,
I couldn't find anything explicitly anti semitic, things that were
explicively anti semitic. Yeah yeah, I will say, being an
explicitly anti Holocaust happened Canada, and then it's okay to
be anti Holocaust, but anti Holocaust happened. But then removing

(28:48):
all of that from your website when it has a
political cost. It's like the Nazi equivalent of when Obama
gave up on closing down Guantanamo. Like yeah, now. A
few days after that New York Times article, voters in
the East Bay started receiving robot calls urging them to
vote for John Fitzgerald. We're gonna play one such call
in its entirety and the Jewish takeover of America and

(29:11):
restore our democracy by voting John Fitzgerald for US Congress,
even if you are a registered Democrat. It's no longer
a real democracy when the two percent ethnic minority that
are Jews has dominance over America and uses it to
serve the foreign country of Israel. Your vote for John
Fitzgerald means no more US wars for Israel based on

(29:31):
their lives, like a Jewish conductive attack of nine eleven.
Your vote for John Fitzgerald means no more sacrificing the
lives and limbs of our children for Israel. Your vote
for John Fitzgerald means no more killing for Israel. Don't
be swindled by their cliche slander of him as being
a neo Nazi, which only shows how done they think
you are. Reversing the takeover of America by a single

(29:53):
two percent ethnic minority. Is a hundred percent American, a
hundred percent Democratic, whatever your party of afiliation of. Save
our democracy while you still can and vote John Fitzgerald,
Free West Congress. It's message paid cool by the Road
to Power dot Com. Don't use that song. I like
that song Road to Power dot Yeah, we're going to

(30:15):
tower dot Com. Want to talk about that. I was
going to say, like, I hope we get to visit
Road to Power dot huh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. The
Road to Power dot Com sponsored this message. Now, the
first coverage I found of this robocall was an ABC
seven news report. Uh, and it just noted that this
group had paid for quote similar racist messages in the past.
It also noted that Fitzgerald denied coordinating with them at

(30:37):
all or having any rule in the creation of that ad.
It's actually possible this is true, although it does jell
in exactly with things his opinions seemed. Yeah, so I
looked into the group the Road to Power dot com.
Just a little bit more. I found an article on
them by the Anti Defamation Leak. The article reports that
during this last year, the group has robo called communities
in California, Idaho, Iowa, Florida, and Pennsylvania. The Fitzgerald Ads,

(31:00):
even their most racist, Andrew Gillum, became the first black
man to win a major party's nomination for governor of Florida,
and the Road to Power was ready with a racist robocall.
I'm not going to read out the text of the
racist robocall. It involves a man making a minstrel voice,
That's how it's described by the A d L and
talking in what would have been a stereotypical blackmail accent

(31:20):
in like nineteen thirty, like that kind of racism, like
brear rabbits. Yeah quote. The voice talks about mud huts
and unfair policing practices while the sound of drums and
monkeys play in the background. Fu yeah that one. Yeah yeah.
The same group both attacks wherever a political issue in
this country has taken on even the faintest racial dimension,

(31:41):
the Road to Power has been there. They were both
called people in Charlottesville after the bloody Unite the Right rally.
Their calls urged voters to strip black people of civil rights. Uh, hid,
maybe they're not hiding. When an undocumented immigrant was implicated
in the of Molly Tibbots, out came a robocall by

(32:02):
the Road to Power dot Com stating that Latino Americans
were quote low i Q bottom feeding savages. So these
ads are obviously cartoonishly racist garbage. And according to the
A d L, the founder of the Road to Power
is Scott D. Rhodes, who they described as quote a
white supremacist to achieve local notoriety in late two thousand
seventeen when police linked him to the distribution of white
supremacist propaganda at Sandpoint, Idaho High School, harassment of a

(32:26):
Standpoint resident, and threatening anti Semitic calls that included recordings
of Hitler. Yeah. Now, it does appear that the website
The Road to Power dot Com has been taken down.
If you try to find it, you will be taken
to his bit shoot account. Uh. He also has a
gab that's still now those of you don't know. Gab

(32:46):
is basically Twitter for Nazis. Bit shoot builds itself as
anti censorship YouTube, which basically means it's YouTube or nazi.
These are the Nazi versions of the social media apps
we all use. I'd like to play you a selection
from one of the Road to Powers bit shoot videos.
So this video, which is like a regular show that
he was doing, opens with like a montage. It's very

(33:06):
offensive and racist. This is what I like. It's they live,
but they've got like a star of David superimposed on
it and yeah, just uh Nazi imagery. It's pretty unfortunate.
So pire Scott Rhodes, founder of the Road of Power
dot com, talking on his podcast slash bit Shoot Show
about the fourth of July, which had just happened when
this video ran. In sad reality, there isn't much to commemorate.

(33:33):
The American Revolution was a divide and conquer strategy by
the same ethnic group behind the destructive English Revolution, the
French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, the German Revolution, the revolutions
of eighteen forty eight, and even behind the Southern Secession

(33:54):
of eighteen sixty one. Who did the Confederate Jewe manipulation
of the South a swindle that never should have happened. Relution, Wait, wait, wait,
what didn't they do. They are a busy people. They
were behind the American Revolution. So he's saying, but he

(34:17):
doesn't like America. No, he's saying that it was a
way to divide. I don't the ideological. I think he's
saying kings are good and Jewish people wanted to stop that. Yeah, yeah,
it seems like he's I mean, he's fascist. Yeah, he
wants he wanted to have some sort of like strong
man diatorial figure, so kings would be good and the

(34:37):
revolution was bad because apparently the Jews did it. That
all checks out, It all checks out. This is unimportant.
But is a Road to Power spelled like his name?
No it's not, you'd think. So missed opportunity, really missed opportunity. Now,
this video I just played an extrait from only has
about views in seven up votes. In his last posted

(34:58):
video was near the end of August. The Road of
Power seems to have paused its video production and I
haven't heard of a more recent robot call coming out
from them. But they meaning Scott, are still active on gabs.
So that's nice, good, good for GAP. I'm glad that
they have a place. Oh it's nice. Yeah. One of
the big conversions in GAB right now is they just
banned essentially animated child porn, which is really frustrated some
free speech advocates. Oh I saw somebody complained about it,

(35:24):
and it's like it's so very clear, Like I just
I'm angry other people can't freely express their desire to
fuck children to children, but I think it's everybody else
right to be able to want to. On principle, the
free speech is important for these people who aren't me,
who want to look at this kind of stuff. That's

(35:45):
not why I'm on GAB, but I do support free speech. Unbelievable,
it's great, I mean, extremely believable. Yeah, super believable. So
the last candidate we're going to talk about today is
an actual member of Congress right now, Representative Steve King. Yeah, yeah,
good stuff. He is up for re election in Iowa.

(36:07):
He was first elected to the state Senate and has
been a member of the U. S House of Representatives
since two thousand and three. And we're going to talk
about Steve King for the rest of the episode pretty much.
But first, you know what, I love Lysol scrubbing wipes
there on the table right now. Those him for wiping
up Lisol. I just feel so redderless without Doritos to

(36:30):
plug well those Derrito cheese with these Lysol wipes. No, no,
they don't get no more free advertising through Doritos. People.
I'm putting my foot down. Wipe up the memory of
them with these license Wipe up the memory or purchase
delightful costpo brand, fake Doritos, Factritos, or just some other chip,
A Son chip. I would recommend Son chips. Son Chips

(36:52):
are great, one of the one of the better chips,
one of the better chips, of the chips in the
top or so for sure. Yeah, the humble sonship, they're good.
They're not good for gluten free. But speaking of things
that are in the top, our sponsors and we're back. Boy,

(37:15):
those ads were great. I love a good ad. Let's
talk about Steve King. Now. As I was writing this
story on October eighteen, Vanity Fair published an article titled
Republican Congressman Steve King endorses white supremacy. Now, Vanity Fair
is being a little bit unfair in the title because

(37:36):
Steve King did not just come out and say I
am a white supremacist. They do, they rarely do, but
not actually all that rarely and winning Yeah when they do.
Um so representative. Steve King, however, did not openly endorsed
white supremacy, just a white supremacist. The racist in question
was Faith Goldie. Faith Goldie is a right wing YouTuber

(38:00):
amy oral candidate for Toronto. She's run on a platform
of preventing white genocide in Canada and recently recited the
fourteen words oath on a podcast. She did it laughingly
and then proceeded to pretty vociferously defend the idea of
essentially establishing a future for white children. Yeah. One thing
that struck me is, uh, like I'm familiar with the

(38:21):
fourteen words and like what they are, like what they
what they espouse. She didn't miss a beat. She knows
him by heart. And then that has the memorize, right,
That's the thing. It was like, you want me to
say him, Okay, I'll say him bam bam bam bam bam.
I know it. Some people like to wrap as a
party trick and she likes to memorize. She just like
one of these is an interesting to me? Is the
guy interviewing her in that video While they're having a

(38:43):
conversation says millennial millennial was says something along the lines of,
you know, those words aren't as controversial as they used
to be. Not an accurate statement. Why do you think
that is? Yeah, what do you think God is there?
And do you think they should be? Do you think
they should be? No? I don't think millennial wis does now.

(39:04):
Steve King, of course does not identify as a white
supremacist or a neo Nazi or anything like that, but
he does have a nasty habit of continually agreeing with
people who are open white supremacists and neo Nazis. Back
in June, he retweeted a British neo Nazi, Mark Collette,
a white supremacist activist in the subject of a two
two documentary Young Nazi and Proud. So the post from
Mark Collette it's a Twitter post of a what appears

(39:27):
to be a bripe Heart article and Collett's Italians under
the age of thirty five now opposed mass immigration. Europe
is waking up. Steve King quoted this and responded, Europe
is waking up dot dot dot will America dot dot
dot in time fun stuff. Now King claims he didn't
know Mark Collette was a Nazi when he retweeted him.
But he's refused to take down the tweet because that

(39:48):
would basically mean admitting that he got bullied into not
endorsing a Nazis opinions, which is as bad as being
a Nazi. I hate being bullied into not endorsing a Nazis. Oh,
it's terrible. That's what the real Nazism. It's telling people
supporting Nazis is bad. Just that attitude, that attitude, just
refusing to say I made a mistake, right, It's the like,

(40:11):
never apologize to the mob. Well what if they're like,
don't endorse that Nazi? Yeah, what if the mob says that,
like the idea that because of like tons of people
think a thing, that you should just resist it no
matter what. Well, maybe they're right, Yeah, maybe you're continually
agreeing with Nazis is a sign that you should reevaluate

(40:31):
your value, rethink, like what your opinions. You don't identify
as a Nazi, but maybe you do identify as a Nazi.
Maybe you're Nazi. Maybe you accidentally slid into Nazism, and
that's how it often happens with people. Maybe, hey, g op,
just like think about why there are so many Nazis
that support you. Yeah, uh, he told CNN. I mean

(40:52):
it's the message, not the messenger. I love that, right,
it is the message. I right, he's tweet that. Before
recently it was like I would I would retweet the
devil if the devil said I love Jesus. And first
of all, you'd also retweet the devil if he tweeted
the fourteen words. But like the whole point is that,

(41:15):
like I don't believe what the devil says because he's
the devils. If like, if the devil says I love Jesus,
maybe he's trying to trick you into perhaps like the
thing the devil does, like literally, like think about what
the devil does. The thing you should do with the
devil is engage him in a fiddle playing contest. If

(41:36):
you're good, if you're good at if you're good at that.
You're saying that if the devil had to come to
Jesus moment, you wouldn't accept him. I would wait for Jesus.
I would wait for Jesus. All right, So Jesus, the
devil said this thing, and like I'm not one to
trust the devil, so I'm waiting for you to I
know you just retweeted a Nazi, but like, what if

(41:59):
suddenly is yeah, did the Holocaust happen? He has some
strong opinions on that. So Republicans have been notably loath
to since your Representative Steve King, when he tweeted that
Western civilization can't be maintained with someone else's babies, Paul
Ryan said, I'd like to think he misspoke. When Representative

(42:20):
King clarified that he had not misspoken, Paul Ryan said,
not a goddamn thing. He didn't. He didn't say a word. Now.
Steve King still sits on the Congressional Subcommittees for Civil
Justice and the Constitution UH. He continues to receive thousands
of dollars from Coke Industries pack King's racism has been
evident for some time, and it has not cost him
any success with the Republican Party. According to a two

(42:42):
thousand and fourteen Talking Points Memo profile. During the Iowa
Senate campaign, he stumbled upon his signature issue in the legislature,
English is the official language. He remembers the moment down
to the exact date. During an October tenth n fundraiser
at Yellow Smoke Park, sponsored by the then governor Terry Branstadt,
a Republican, he made the speech that shaped his political future.
I was running through my topics and I said, and

(43:03):
I believe English should be the official language of the
state of Iowa. And it just brought the house down.
There was this huge applause. King says, I knew how
strongly I believed in it, but I didn't know how
strongly they believed in it. That's how the politics go.
Representative King is known in Washington for keeping a small

(43:23):
Confederate flag on his desk, even though Iowa fought with
the Union. How do you like, you're in Iowa, dude,
that's nuts. Iowan's died stopping the Confederacy, And like, obviously,
like even if you live in the South, maybe like
recognize the history and like what that means, but like,
you're Iowa, man, what are you doing? I have a
little bit more It's not right, But if like you

(43:44):
come from a family and a bunch of your relatives
fought for the Confederacy, you have a little bit of
a leg to stand on. I don't think it's a
heritage issue, but like it's different from an Iowan elected
representative taking It's like, well, yeah, you live in Georgia
and your whole family fought for the Confederacy. I'm not
surprised you have a Confederate flag on your desk. I
think it's fucked up, but it's not weird. Got there,

(44:05):
Steve King? How how did this happen? And like, I
know how, but yeah, we we know how. Steve King
has also claimed that Dreamers who came here as children
have calves the size of quote cantelopes because each of
them carries seventy five pounds of marijuana into the country
with him when they crossed the border uh In two
thousand eight, he stated that because of Barack Obama's middle name,

(44:25):
if elected president, the radical Islamist the Al Qaeda would
be dancing in the streets and greater numbers than they
did on September eleven because they would declare victory in
this war on terror. Do you guys remember that when
Okada won the war on terror because Barack Obama's middle
name was the name of a guy who hated al
Qaeda and fought them brutally. Remember that the anti Islamist

(44:47):
Saddam who's saying how that was a big. I don't
understand the logic here. Yeah, familiar. All brown people are
the same. Yeah. King turns, Yeah, yeah, there we go.
Steve King twists yeah. Now. In two thousand sixteen, Representative
King filed an amendment to block attempts to put Harriet

(45:09):
Tubman on the twenty dollar bill. It's just he's just
a gargoyle. At least he's doing something useful with his
time in office. Yeah, it's something you're very useful, impactful
on people's lives. Yeah, well, I mean Harriet Tubman, what
heroic thing did she do other than smuggle thousands of

(45:29):
people to freedom? Meanwhile, Andrew Jackson genocided some people. You
want she was breaking the law. Man, she was a criminal.
He was a president with a big old wheel of cheese. Now.
In December of last year, Steve King quoted Hungarian prime

(45:51):
minister and almost dictator Victor Orban in a tweet. The
quote from Orbon that he tweeted was mixing cultures will
not lead to a higher quality of life, but a
lower one. Um, fuck the melting pot. That is literally
not true. No flies in the face of literally twelve

(46:12):
thousand years of human experience. That's like, oh, my god,
you had or text mex buddy, did you just wake
up and like, look at honest rock and roll music.
Give them a little country. They can all go live
and die off and just become inbred and it would
be nice, right right, just like do the thing that
you want. Go ahead, see how it works up. If

(46:34):
we just had two planets and they could do whatever
they wanted to one and we could not poison the
atmosphere of this to have our political disagreements. But I'll
be like, well, conservative or liberal, let's keep the oxygen breathable,
common ground, common common ground, common air. Wouldn't that be nice?
I love this idea. This emergence of like diversity is

(46:57):
just bad and it hurts everybody, and like no, it
hurts racists running on racist and like studies even show
that like yeah, at first, like a lot of diversity
and like multiculturalism can like cause people to sort of
like hunker down and like getting their little tribes, but
over time it benefits everybody in all aspects of life. Yeah. Yeah,
kind of like how we land on the moon when

(47:17):
we stole scientists from all around the world, multiple different countries,
and had them all working together to put people on
the moon, and like when you have like, uh, the
code talkers, it's like, yeah, you have people from like
different walks of life and like you work together, Like
that time when a multicultural to actually multicultural massive nations

(47:39):
defeated an alliance of of unicultural fascists in a global
war that killed tens of millions, the time when the
people who believed in multiculturalism won that war. Speak on that,
tell me about this magical sounds very true. Also, like

(47:59):
you in existence and like life on the planet, evolution
is built off of diversity and time. Like how hybrids
when people who are different make babies, the babies are healthier, beautiful. Yes,
how like racially mixing is literally the best way to
ensure your child has a robust immune system. Yeah that

(48:20):
sounds made up. That sounds like some scientific number bulls.
Now you're gonna tell me they should be vaccinated to
It is weird have the far left and the call
right there lock step about whooping cough being great common
ground given the measles as we think kind of locks
stuff about Jewish conspiracies too. Yeah, yeah, that is kind

(48:42):
of weirdly common anyway in interviews and saying this as
a as a leftist. A whole lot of creepy Jewish
conspiracy theories on the left too. Nobody's blaming this here,
yeah now. In interviews, Steve King has also advised Americans
to read The Camp of the Saints, a far right fascist,
anti immigrant book, The Vote Filled with Brown people sailing
over to destroy a white civilization. Steve Bannon loves this book.

(49:07):
I met Lauren Southern loves that book, got it. I
bet she's got the cover tattooed on her. That's probably
where she got her idea like block boats from saving
people in the ocean. Uh. Steve King is currently running
against Democrat J. B. Sholton Man, whose most notable trait
is his ability to not repeatedly agree with and amplify
the voices about right fascists. Sounds great to me. According

(49:31):
to the Des Moines Register, he has significantly outraised King,
but the election is still something of a long shot
for the Democratic challenger. So if you are in Iowa,
please please don't vote for the guy who regularly recites
neo Nazi for that guy. Vote for that guy. We're
going to talk about this race and next our next podcast. Yeah,

(49:54):
I mean, just like all these like amplifying even like
a Tucker Carlson, just like amplifying like Nazi talking point. Yeah,
it's like, I'm just to have some questions. I'm just agree.
I'm not agreeing with you, just asking Nazi questions. Stop
it right now, stop asking those questions. Stop asking Nazi questions.
We answered that question in with a no. We said no, yeah,

(50:18):
we killed like nine million of them, well the Russian
and then like the lead boy was like, I'm gonna
kill myself. Yeah, and that was great. Really the best
choice Hitler made. I support that last that last year,
he finally did something right. Finally you didn't, buddy, You
know what. That is kind of inspiring because we all
got on the same page at the end there. Ye,

(50:42):
Hitler needed to die. This is a bad idea. I
shouldn't be right, Oh boy. Common ground, common ground and ground,
common air. All right, now that we've achieved common ground, Katie, Yeah, Cody,

mine on you. Aside from don't vote for Nazis, I
think that's the one thing we should all be able
to agree on. Don't vote for Nazis.
