Welcome to the Tinfoil Right

_WHAT’S HAPPENING_

The right-wing podcast ecosystem is increasingly focusing on Israel and Jewish conspiracies, pushing narratives that diverge from mainstream conservative politics. Major online voices are platforming figures who argue that Jews control American politics, were responsible for historical assassinations, and played a central role in global conspiracies.

_THE FACTS_

• Podcaster Joe Rogan hosted Ian Carrol for a three-hour episode. Carrol is known for obsessively focusing on Jews and Israel, claiming they control American politics and were behind Jeffrey Epstein’s crime and the murder of President John F. Kennedy.

• Carrol has posted extreme rhetoric, including: “When I see an Israeli flag I immediately know that they support Jeffrey Epstein and want to rape my children.” He also blames Israel for the 9/11 attacks.

• During the episode, Carrol also claimed that “demons” are responsible for recent UFO sightings.

• Rogan is set to host Darryl Cooper next week. Cooper previously appeared on Tucker Carlson’s show, where he labeled Winston Churchill as the villain of WWII and downplayed the Holocaust.

• Viral podcaster Theo Von hosted Candace Owens, who repeated similar conspiracy theories about Jews and Israel, including claims that Israel was behind JFK’s assassination.

• As Upward News has covered, Owens has made openly antisemitic statements, referring to a Jewish cabal controlling American politics and promoting modern-day blood libel.

• Dennis Prager, a conservative commentator who helped launch Owens’s career, rebuked her for her antisemitism.

• Jeremy Boreing, CEO of the Daily Wire, condemned Ian Carrol’s episode on Rogan, calling it a “terrible day for American Jews.”

• Boreing also called out the Blaze’s Jason Whitlock for defending Andrew Tate amid Florida’s criminal investigation into him for allegedly sex trafficking minors. Tate has been another anti-Israel, anti-Jew commentator in the same vein as Owens.
