The sources document the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee's 1943-era lobbying for a Jewish republic in Crimea and its complaints to Molotov and Beria, but none mention a Khazar Empire re-colonization plan or an agreement involving Malenkov, and no fact-checker has examined the allegation. The sources neither substantiate nor dispute the central claim.

What was said

… The overwhelming majority of Europe's Jews come from, in one form or another, that empire, and, uh, you know, um, the Khazar Empire is called Red Zion in, in many cases. There was plans to re-colonize it as early as 1943, even with an agreement with Molotov and Malinkov and Beria. The Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee was engaged in this, and when you have the oligarchic movement starting in the 1990s in both Russia and Ukraine, which was almost entirely Jewish, you had the makings of a very unique situation. …

What we found

Context. Sources describe the JAFC lobbying Stalin for a Jewish national republic in Crimea around 1943, a documented but different project from re-colonizing the Khazar Empire.[2][3]

Context. A Yad Vashem academic article documents JAFC petitions to Molotov and Beria in the 1943-1944 period, which partly overlaps with the named officials but describes aid and anti-Jewish-acts complaints, not a re-colonization agreement.[4]

Context. No source in the set mentions the Khazar Empire, a re-colonization plan, or Malenkov in connection with the JAFC, so the claim's central assertion goes unaddressed.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

Context. The claim's wording traces to the claimant's own remarks in the podcast passage, which cannot corroborate it and which the sources do not echo.
