Centuries-Old Conspiracy Theories That Fuel Fascism Today

Sam talks with Mike Rothschild, author of the forthcoming book Jewish Space Lasers: The Rothschilds and 200 Years of Conspiracy Theories (preorder now!). From Terry Matalas: "Like Mike Rothschild’s incredible deconstruction of QAnon in The Storm Is Upon Us, Jewish Space Lasers takes a thoroughly engrossing deep dive into the absurd conspiracy theories surrounding Judaism’s ‘royal family.’ It unpacks that age-old stereotype ‘the Jews control everything’ and brilliantly examines the mysterious dynasty credited for being at the center of it all. It’s a globe-trotting breakdown of antisemitism throughout history to the very chilling moment we are in now. Absorbing, entertaining, and exhaustively researched—a must-read.” Find out more about the book here: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/733925/jewish-space-lasers-by-mike-rothschild/ Follow Mike on Twitter: https://twitter.com/rothschildmd Plus: commentary on the fascist murders that took place this month from coast to coast, the GOP debate, Trump’s arraignment in the Georgia case & more!
