BlazeTV Host Jason Whitlock Heaps Praise On Antisemitic Author

On the latest episode of his show, Fearless, BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock interviewed antisemitic author E. Michael Jones. During the interview, Jones claimed that Jewish people control the porn industry, founded the NAACP, and used the Harlem Renaissance to enslave Black people. Whitlock said that Jones was “speaking facts” and lauded him as “fearless.”

E. Michael Jones has a long track record of spewing antisemitic conspiracy theories and pseudoscientific beliefs. He has denounced the civil rights movement as a “Jewish war on the South,” claimed that Jews are responsible for murdering Jesus Christ, and said that “the Holocaust created Jewish privilege.”

His interview with Whitlock was no different. After Jones asserted that Jewish people control the porn industry, Whitlock asked why he “single[s] out the Jews.” Jones replied that, “The Jews have controlled pornography from the beginning. And they’re controlling it to this day. That’s why there’s a rabbi who owns Pornhub. You cannot talk about pornography unless you talk about the Jews.”

Jones’ claim that a rabbi “owns Pornhub” is overly simplistic. Solomon Friedman is a lawyer, rabbi, and co-founding partner of Ethical Capital Partners — the private equity firm which acquired Aylo (formerly Mindgeek). Aylo, in turn, owns Pornhub.

“We have a crisis here right now, okay, because no one can say the word ‘Jew’ without having the [Anti-Defamation League] get on your case,” he continued. “And so we now have a situation where people I respect like Col. [Douglas] Macgregor and Tucker Carlson will talk about the war in Gaza, and use the word ‘neocon’ or ‘neoconservative.’ That’s not the issue.”

Jones criticized Macgregor and Carlson for not using the word “Jew” to describe people like Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and noted that Sun Szu instructed people to know themselves and their enemies. Jones explained that this is why the Catholic Church lost “every battle in the culture war” during the 20th century.

Jones continued to rant about Jewish people, claiming that they’re working to destroy the country. He told Whitlock that the “recipe” for human happiness is marriage, that the Jews “know this,” and that they have “spent their entire time here in the United States of America undermining the moral fabric of the American people.”

Whitlock said he couldn’t say he disagreed with Jones’ points, but asked if he was “lettin’ Joe Biden and a lot of other politicians, Left and Right, off the hook” by only pointing at Jews. Jones stated that President Biden is “not in charge of the government” and that there are “457 Jews who are running the Biden administration.”

Jones then pivoted to another bizarre conspiracy theory: that Jewish people founded the NAACP and spearheaded the Harlem Renaissance in order to enslave Black people.

“The Jews took over the Blacks early on,” he said. “They created an institution called the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, okay? Now this was created for one reason, and that was to destroy Marcus Garvey, who was a great Black nationalist from Jamaica, in New York at this time.”

Jones went on to say that “the Jews had taken control of the Black population,” “destroyed Black nationalism,” and “created this plantation for Black people known as sexual liberation.” “It was called jazz. It was called the Harlem Renaissance. It was always some Jew determining how you were supposed to be as a Black man,” he added.

As proof that this was still ongoing, Jones referenced Ye — the rapper formerly known as Kanye West — who, in 2022, made comments praising Adolf Hitler and denying the Holocaust. Jones said the reaction to Ye’s antisemitic remarks demonstrated that “you can be a rich Black guy with a lot of gold around your neck,” but that the one thing you can’t say is “the Jews.”

Whitlock reacted to this rant by calling Jones “fearless” and saying that he was “speaking facts.”

After the interview ended, Whitlock spoke with Shemeka Michelle — an anti-gay, Christian rapper who sometimes contributes to Whitlock’s show. Both Whitlock and Michelle spoke highly of Jones and his antisemitic conspiracies. Whitlock also attacked “elite Blacks” on TV who paint “white, Christian men” as the enemy, and repeated Jones’ argument that Jews are behind this.

Whitlock ended the program by presenting viewers with what he called a “sanitized way of arguing what E. Michael Jones argued on our show.”

He explained that, for Christians, “your enemy is the people who believe Jesus Christ is not your Lord and Savior.” And he said that “most people are afraid of this battle” because the people who “don’t believe in Jesus Christ” have “enormous influence over the banking industry,” “corporate America,” “pharma,” and “how you get your money.”

“So you can keep your head buried in the sand, and you can continue to lie to yourself, but the rest of us with a pair are going to stand out here in the middle of the street and say ‘I think you’re looking the wrong direction,'” he concluded.
