On his Rumble show, The Rift Report, ex-BlazeTV host Elijah Schaffer claimed that young people are increasingly embracing white supremacist politics. According to Schaffer, people he spoke with at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) who were “under 25” told him they “liked Hitler”

On the Apr. 21, 2025 episode of The Rift Report, Schaffer and his co-host, former Jan. 6 defendant Michael Hennessey, discussed a recent debate between Dave Smith and Douglas Murray on Israel and Gaza. Using barely coded terms like “Hollywood types,” Schaffer suggested that most of the people who said Murray won were Jewish

Schaffer remarked that he “didn’t see one post from like a non-Hollywood supporting person or, like, Con Inc.-level talking head that was like ‘Yeah, my mind was changed. I’m convinced.'” And he said he agreed with post-debate analysis by misogynistic right-wing troll Mike Cernovich

Paraphrasing Cernovich, Schaffer said that the pro-Israel side is losing the debate over it’s treatment of Gaza, even among right-wingers. And he agreed with Cernovich’s assessment that Israel is missing an opportunity to gain support from American conservatives by taking a stand against Islam

Instead, he said, Israel is “push[ing] Muslims into our countries” while declaring that “you have to call us your greatest ally” otherwise “you’re a bad person in your own country and deserve more Muslims in your country”

“[Cernovich] goes, this is a recipe for what? Literally creating Nazis,” Schaffer said. “And that’s what’s happening with Gen Alpha and Gen Z. Every person I met at CPAC who was under 25 was, like, actually telling me they liked Hitler. At CPAC. And so that’s not good for the Jews. You know what I mean? And Zionists”
