The Bastards of the 2018 Midterm Election

about the bastards of the two thousand eighteen midterm election. Now, 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 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 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 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 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, 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 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 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. 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 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. 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 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, 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 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? 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 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 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 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 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. 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 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. 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 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 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 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, 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 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

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

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, 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? 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

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 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 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.

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 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, 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 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 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 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 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, 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 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 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, 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 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, 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 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 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

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 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 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 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, 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. 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 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 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. 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

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 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 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 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 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. 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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

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. 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 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, 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. 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. 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 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 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 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 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 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 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, 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 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, 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 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 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 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 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. 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

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 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 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

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, 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 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. 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 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 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, 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 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

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 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 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. 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 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 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, 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

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 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, 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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, 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, 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 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 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 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 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

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 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 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 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

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 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 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 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. 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 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, 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, 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, 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, you guys got some pluggables to plug always Yeah.
