Stew Peters is a far-right conspiracy theorist, propagandist and radio host whose program The Stew Peters Show has become a central hub for antisemitic and conspiratorial content. Peters positions himself as a courageous whistleblower who exposes globalist elites, but his content rests on virulent antisemitism, Holocaust denial and appeals to violent nationalism.
Peters amplifies antisemitic conspiracy theories by distorting global initiatives like the Great Reset — an economic reform agenda the World Economic Forum launched in 2020 — into supposed evidence of a Jewish-led plot against non-Jewish populations. He frequently claims such programs are part of a genocidal conspiracy to depopulate the world, enslave Christians, and attack American culture, merging these accusations with tenets of the “great replacement” conspiracy theory that argues Jewish people are orchestrating the demographic decline of the white race.
While other online personalities engage in similar activities, Peters’ guests — including members of President Donald Trump’s administration — elevate the threat he and his show pose. He refers to Judaism as a “death cult,” frequently calls for the mass expulsion of Jews from America as a new “final solution,” and frames many social and political problems as manufactured by Jews. Peters rose in stature during the COVID-19 pandemic, when he became a voice for spreading anti-vaccine and “plandemic” conspiracy theories. His videos routinely claimed that vaccines were tools of mass genocide orchestrated by a global cabal — a dog whistle for Jewish people. Peters monetizes his influence though merchandise, donations and a cryptocurrency he created in 2025 called $JPROOF, which he marketed as an alternative to the supposedly Jewish-controlled financial system.

Background
Born in 1980 in Minnesota, Peters initially pursued a hip-hop career, performing under the name “Fokiss.” Having failed to gain traction, he transitioned to bounty hunting with the Twin Cities Apprehension Team. In 2021, Peters was convicted of disorderly conduct after his wife contacted the police during a domestic dispute. Peters was sentenced to probation. He later pivoted to conspiracy media, launching The Stew Peters Show in 2020. Peters was able to launch the show through a network of far-right platforms and alt-tech platforms. His early content was reliant on anti-vaccine conspiracy theories, which morphed quickly into antisemitism and white nationalist talking points. His notoriety grew as he became a prominent figure in QAnon-adjacent conspiracy circles, spreading vaccine misinformation and antisemitic propaganda. In December 2024, he was also arrested for driving while intoxicated in his hometown in Minnesota.
Peters airs new episodes of his show daily, broadcasting via multiple alt-tech platforms including Rumble, X, Gab and his own website. While his show originally focused on COVID-19, Peters quickly shifted toward openly promoting antisemitic conspiracy theories, repeatedly framing Jews as suppressors of Christian values and denying the facts of the Holocaust.
Despite Peters’ extremist reputation, prominent political figures have regularly appeared on his show, including Kash Patel before he was named FBI director in 2025. Patel joined Peters at least eight times between 2021 and 2022, during and after Peters’ public embrace of antisemitism and conspiracy theories. During Patel’s Senate confirmation hearing in early 2025, he denied knowing Peters, even though Peters has said that he and Patel exchanged personal phone numbers and communicated frequently by text.
Other conservative political figures have appeared on Peters’ platform. House representatives Paul Gosar, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Pete Sessions — all aligned with hard-line right-wing politics — have, on his show, elevated far-right and white nationalist talking points. In 2021, Sessions discussed immigration and echoed conspiratorial claims that Democrats had purposefully engineered a border crisis. When it was his turn on Peters’ show, Gosar openly stated that he loves being on Peters’ show because “people deserve to know” the truth, while Peters praised Gosar as “the only congressman that will come on this show.”
Such guests as Trump’s former chief of staff Mark Meadows, election denier Kari Lake, and Mike Lindell, a major funder of efforts to overturn the 2020 election and efforts to undo voting rights, have lent Peters’ antisemitic and conspiratorial rhetoric a veneer of political legitimacy while amplifying his reach and impact.
In 2022 Peters also spoke at the America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC), created by white nationalist Nick Fuentes, whose events Gosar and Greene also attended.
Peters produced the films Died Suddenly (2022) and Final Days (2023), which present conspiracy-based data and narratives about vaccines, the global economy and climate change — for which he blames Jewish people. When promoting Final Days, Peters claimed that “they’re possessing the technology to destroy the United States in so many ways to extend the octopus tentacles into every fabric of our society,” framing Jews as omnipotent conspirators bent on undermining American stability.
In a message posted on Christmas Day 2024, Peters said that “Hanukkah is fake, and Jews are Satanic.” Later in an episode of The Stew Peters Show at the end of March 2025, guest Matt Baker said, “I still don’t think we should deport all Jewish people,” to which Peters declared, “Well, 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.’ You’ll say, you’ll say — I promise you. Just keep listening. Just stick with me here, OK? I’m a little bit ahead of people, just like I was with COVID and the bioweapon, OK? I’m a little bit ahead of people here. But yeah, no, we absolutely need a final solution on that.” He went on later to say, “We did not vote for this Israel-first BS.” The phrase “final solution” was a euphemism used by Nazi leaders in Germany in the 1940s who had decided on pursuing the mass murder of Jewish people after years of encouraging and forcing emigration as an answer to the “Jewish question.”
He has portrayed COVID and climate disasters as symptoms of a Jewish-led conspiracy or agenda. For example, in a post on the social media site Telegram in 2022, Peters stated, “We all know that the COVID agenda, combined with catastrophic lockdowns and the dangerous and deadly shots, is the first phase of the Mark of the Beast system,” and argued that the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds were the “enemy” funding the vaccinations. When Hurricane Helene struck the Southeastern United States in September 2024, Peters blamed Jews, claiming they had the ability to manipulate the weather and were responsible for the devastating storm. The following month, after Hurricane Milton hit, he similarly alleged it was a “targeted geo-engineered storm” weaponized by Jews against America.
Extending this apocalyptic worldview, Peters has been a vocal driver of the “false flag” narrative in American extremist circles, frequently alleging that major tragedies are staged by elites to distract from what he frames as Jewish wrongdoing or to target conservatives. For example, Peters claimed that “extreme and unusual flooding” was a false-flag operation to distract from Trump’s handling of the Epstein files. His program and X posts also promote the baseless theory that Israel or Jews orchestrated the Jan. 6 attack to discredit American nationalists, as documented by watchdog groups and media outlets such as Rolling Stone. After an antisemitic attack at a pro-Israel rally in Boulder, Colorado, in June 2025, Peters posted: “False flag attack just occurred on a pro-Israel protest in Boulder, Colorado. These ‘attacks’ will continue until all those deemed antisemitic under the IHRA’s ever-evolving definition are jailed and/or silenced.”
This relentless flood of conspiracy theories also targets marginalized communities, particularly LGBTQ+ people. In 2024, Peters used his show and social media to smear gay widowed father and influencer José Rolón, falsely accusing him of pedophilia and calling for his execution on air. Peters directly urged followers to contact law enforcement with fabricated tips about Rolón, provoking threats and harassment. His broadcasts repeatedly recirculate anti-trans and anti-drag event conspiracy theories, fueling a broader pattern of violent disinformation that has made him a central actor in the radicalization of American far-right audiences.
