(It\u2019s worth noting that all three are in favor of eugenics and IQ tests to determine the suitability of people to be citizens.)<\/p>\n<p>In clear terms, the interview was a public relations effort for the newly united front between Spencer, a trust fund beneficiary, Anglin, an internet troll known for bragging in a video leaked online about his \u201cjailbait,\u201d Filipino girlfriend, and an obscure New York blogger who frequently appears on Spencer\u2019s podcast. But Spencer seems to be willing to forge an alliance with the very factions of the Alt-Right he has tried to distance himself from using his family\u2019s wealth and his own educational pedigree.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a darkly funny podcast from Dec. 20.
