Stew Peters, a far-right media personality and outspoken Holocaust denier with a large online following, recently called for the mass deportation of all Jews from the U.S. Peters, who has previously promoted antisemitic tropes and conspiracy theories about COVID-19 and the Rothschild family on his eponymous podcast, also claimed that President Donald Trump’s support for Israel was driven by “Jewish paymasters.”

“I’m two years ahead of you on that, and in two years, you’ll come back and say, ‘Yeah, you were right about that,’” Peters told his guest, Matt Baker, who remarked that he didn’t agree with Peters’ call to deport all Jews. “We absolutely do need a final solution on that.” A clip of his remarks was first published Monday on X by Right Wing Watch. Baker, a far-right activist from California, made headlines in 2021 for shouting “Heil Fauci!” during an anti-vaccine rant.

Peter also claimed Trump redirected federal agents from mass deportation and border security operations to investigating antisemitism “because he doesn’t have to worry about reelection, so he can do whatever his AIPAC handlers tell him to do without the threat of losing his job a few years down the road or losing an election.”

He further blasted Trump as “gone gloves off against the American people on behalf of his Jewish paymasters, who spent $100 million to get him back into the White House.” Miriam Adelson, the widow of casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, contributed $106 million in support of Trump in the 2024 election. “That is the Trump agenda, and he’s made it very clear: Make America Great Again is dead, but Make Israel Great Again is first and very much alive,” Peters said in his monologue.

Peters has openly identified as a Christian nationalist, claiming he is merely working to protect Christians from what he describes as nefarious actors — often Jews — who control the government and persecute American Christians. In November, he tweeted that the Constitution “is being replaced with the Talmud.”  He once accused Jared Kushner, Trump’s Jewish son-in-law, of being a Mossad agent.

The far-right podcaster has hosted several Trump-aligned Republicans on his broadcasts. Among them was Kash Patel, Trump’s FBI director, who appeared on Peters’ show at least eight times in recent years, and Rep. Paul Gosar, a Republican from Arizona. At his Senate confirmation hearing in January, Patel defended his appearance on Peters’ show as aimed at correcting misinformation, not endorsing it. “My association, as you loosely define it,” Patel said, “is by appearing in media over a thousand times, to take on people who are putting on conspiratorial theories and to devow them of their false impressions and to talk to them about the truth.”
