You're watching America First.
My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes.
We have a great show for you tonight.
Very excited to be back with you tonight on Friday.
Wow, thank God it's Friday, right?
It's been such a long week.
Time goes on, right?
Every week, it's long days, long weeks.
It's been a long year, but hey, thank God it's Friday.
The weekend has finally arrived, and we've got a great show for you tonight.
Lots to get into, lots to discuss.
We've got a casual, low-key, very comfortable episode, as you can tell.
I'm not wearing a necktie, and this of course indicates that it is casual Friday.
Time again for another fun show.
Tonight we'll be changing it up a little bit.
I know last week I was at CPAC.
The week before that we did a call-in show.
So tonight the news is a little bit slow.
So we're going to talk about a few things.
First we're going to get into this statement from the College Republicans at Iowa State, which I missed yesterday.
I did my whole show yesterday talking about my trip to Iowa State and I completely neglected, I guess I just didn't see it, but the Iowa Republicans who hosted me, or were supposed to host me on Wednesday night, they posted their own little statement about the event, which I did not find out about until immediately after the show yesterday.
So we're going to take a look at that and go over it.
I think it deserves a little bit of special attention.
We'll talk about International Women's Day and then we will get into a call-in portion of the show and we'll take a little bit of time to take some calls and hear from people.
It's been a while and some big things have happened so it'll be good to hear from the masses.
You know I love to hear from the masses.
So it should be a fun show.
We're going to experiment with the format a little bit.
We'll have a little bit of talk and then a little bit of the calls.
I know the calls are a divisive portion of the show.
Some people love it.
Some people, you know, they could describe their experience as less than loving it.
You know, I don't think they particularly care for the call-ins.
We'll mix it up a little bit and it should be a fun time.
But like I said, the first thing we're going to talk about here tonight on this International Women's Day... I have to say we're not going to get into all that right now.
We'll get into that in a moment.
But doesn't it feel like there's multiple days like this?
Has time really just gone by that quickly?
Or does it feel like every week there's something like this?
I don't know.
Has it really been a year since we last talked about International Women's Day?
Because I feel like these things happen, like, every few months.
The same thing happened with, like, Holocaust Remembrance Day or something, where it felt like there were three or four within the same month or within, you know, six months.
So I don't know.
Maybe it's just been a year.
But anyway, we'll get into that in a moment.
The first thing we want to talk about here is this statement.
Like I said, the statement that was given by the College Republicans, as you know, and maybe people went back and reviewed it, I went to Iowa State on Wednesday for my first ever campus speech, and who knows?
Maybe that'll materialize into some kind of a college tour in the fall.
Who knows?
You know, there's early planning stages happening, but that was my debut on the college campus.
We were finally able to make it happen, and could have gone better.
It also could have gone a lot worse, but I was there, and I discussed in great detail yesterday sort of the build-up to the event, the event itself, some takeaways, some conclusions we can draw from it.
But something I missed, a little piece of the story that I missed here was from the College Republicans.
And it's funny because last night on the show I said, oh these guys are pussies and they totally backed out.
And that was just with the information I had.
I had never seen this part before.
And who can really blame me?
Nobody told me about it, and I don't follow what goes on on Iowa State campus, right?
I wasn't really keeping apprised of the situation after I got out of there.
But while I was driving home, you know, it was about a five and a half hour drive from Ames, Iowa back to the suburbs of Chicago.
While I was en route, you know, and this was a long journey in the wasteland and the That's what it appeared to be, I guess.
You know, just driving past farm after farm and no geographical or topographical features, no landmarks, no nothing.
While I was driving home, this statement was posted and I totally missed it, but we'll review it here tonight and I'll pull it up on the big screen here so you guys can take a look.
This statement was posted, like I said, at 1120 a.m.
on March 7th.
So that was yesterday.
Like I said, I was driving home, so I totally missed this.
And you can see they've got a pretty nice ratio going over here.
A cool 7 likes, 5 retweets, 163 replies.
And that's, of course, because I went off a little bit about this on Twitter last night.
Like I said, I did the whole show last night only to discover then, once the show ended, that this had been posted hours before I even went live.
And so I'll read you the statement in full.
This is the official College Republican statement over events... I don't know, maybe that's not really the right wording... that transpired on campus last night.
So I'll read you the statement.
Bear with me, it's a little bit long and kind of cringe.
You're going to be cringing the whole time here, but I'll read it in its entirety for you.
So it says, for immediate release March 7th, 2019, last night's events have left many people shaken.
People are literally shaking because of this event.
First and foremost, we want to reiterate that College Republicans had nothing to do with the speaker, Nick Fuentes, who appeared on campus.
There have been many lies, slanderous attacks, and some genuine honest miscommunication that have appeared recently and we would like to address these issues immediately.
The aforementioned speaker's views were in no way shape or form representative of the Republican Party's or College Republicans' views.
College Republicans had been led to believe that this was an approved turning point event with a turning point approved speaker.
This individual was largely unheard of And we had no reason to suspect otherwise.
His views are in direct contradiction to our club.
We apologize for our carelessness in that assumption and are deeply sorry to anyone who was hurt by it.
We have all been greatly misled.
As previously stated, College Republicans had nothing to do with this event.
College Republicans cancelled our meeting for this week two weeks ago due to midterms.
While we did initially have a reservation on one room used, this is because we reserved our meeting rooms for the entire semester over winter break.
As of Tuesday morning, any hold we had on the room in question should have been cancelled.
Now, here's my favorite part, the best part perhaps.
Now, rather than continue to discuss an individual who lives off attention and should be forgotten and left in the past, we would like to commend two individuals who took the time yesterday to respectfully listen to each other's views and create an open dialogue.
Many times College Republicans has tried to open up an exchange between opposing views and unfortunately we find that oftentimes others are unwilling to meet us halfway and just want to protest and resort to name-calling.
That's kind of interesting.
A little bit of irony there, right?
Last night, Alexis Holmes of the Black Students Alliance and Anthony Labruna of College Republicans held a conversation addressing why they were there to a crowded lecture hall, each focusing on free speech.
Individuals were allowed to speak after waiting and being properly addressed, and great progress was made to bring people of different backgrounds together.
Oh wow, that's really nice.
That's so adorable.
It was made clear that members of the Black Student Alliance were there to quietly protest, to listen to what this individual had to say, and to refute anything they disagreed with later.
Similarly, any college Republican members were there, thinking this was a much different speaker, willing to listen to what he had to say and then think for themselves.
This is at the heart of free speech.
If one dislikes a message, be it simple, Okay, so again, this is just littered with all kinds of clunky and improper wording.
Be it a simple disagreement or a vile message, the best thing to do is refute the arguments one by one and expose their weaknesses to the world.
Simply birding or censoring speech only creates a forbidden knowledge, which the taboo makes stronger.
Who wrote this statement?
What are they teaching at Iowa State?
Is everybody at Iowa State retarded?
Because I also read an editorial from the Iowa State Daily, and I don't know, is just the language not their specialty there?
Is this like, I don't know, I guess that's what you get at a state school, right?
But anyway, after hearing the speaker, Anthony Labruna later denounced Nick Fuentes stating, quote, everything he said last night were views that are not held by the Republican Party.
Yeah, damn right, by the way, damn right.
And maybe that's why the Republican Party is gay and is failing.
Maybe that's why they're going to go extinct.
Talk about people being left in the past, right?
We would like to applaud both individuals for, in this incredibly polarized political world, discourse between opposing views is seemingly discouraged.
The irony is lost here.
These are individuals who both their organizations should be proud of and it is with great honor that we can call Anthony Labruna a College Republican.
The College Republicans of Iowa State University.
A couple of things.
In the first place, we have to correct the record here.
The College Republicans were involved in this event.
And I don't know if many people are interested in the nitty-gritty logistical details.
I'm honestly over it.
You know, who reserved the room and all this bureaucratic stuff is not interesting to me.
But what you see here is the head of the College Republicans whose name is Minnick or something.
He was directly involved in the event and what he's trying to do now is avoid responsibility.
The situation has got a little too hot for him on campus.
unidentified
I don't know!
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼
because their campus newspaper is writing hit piece or something.
And so he's trying to evade responsibility.
He's trying to sidestep all the controversy and say, oh, I wasn't aware.
I don't know.
I don't remember.
I don't know what was going on.
I had nothing to do with this.
But just for the record, for the press, I got a couple of requests for comment from the media, and I'll get to that after my show tonight.
Yes, the College Republicans were involved with this.
They did reach out to me.
They did organize this event.
They did reserve the rooms.
They know full well who I am, my views, my show.
This was discussed in great detail.
Moreover, it was discussed in great detail how we could evade the press.
So if this guy's going to try and throw me under the bus and paint this picture like I invaded their campus or something, obviously this is not true.
An event like this does not just metastasize out of thin air.
Somebody should take responsibility.
But it gets to the fundamental point, and this is something that I addressed on the show last night, which is to say that there's just so much cowardice in the Republican Party.
And it comes all the way from the top, all the way down to college Republicans like this, When are people finally going to take some responsibility for their views, for their country?
Do they really believe that the people in the Black Student Alliance, again, if they just sit down and have a conversation, and there's enough apologizing, and there's enough appeasing, that we're all going to be able to get along?
Do you think that the people in the Black Student Alliance, all those people, little rows in their handles on Twitter, They're all going to like you.
They're all going to care about you.
They're going to take it easy on you.
They're going to respect your existence and your right to free speech if you just cuck on these sort of things, you backstab your allies.
I guessed!
Of course not.
And I'll also say this.
Last night, and I came to the event, or I'm sorry, not last night, Wednesday.
I came to the event and you might have seen I was talking to a police officer.
This was a picture in the Iowa State Daily to try and paint it like I was being apprehended or something.
But I was about to give my speech in a classroom and a police officer from ISU, he pulled me aside and said, hey, look, you know, the college Republicans are saying they didn't reserve this room, so we can't let you speak here.
It was very congenial.
But here I am as a guest, trying to work out this situation logistically with room reservations and everything else, and one of the protesters, this black girl, I don't know if I said this on the show last night, but I tweeted about it, this black girl who, I don't know what organization she was a part of, but she came to Whatever it was, protest, or to refute my racist points, or whatever.
But she said, oh really?
They totally bailed on you?
They didn't show up?
I said, yep, they totally bailed on me.
They totally stabbed me in the back on this one.
And she just shook her head.
And there's a lesson in this.
Whether you're a right-wing person, you're a left-wing person, whether people agree with your views, other people don't agree with your views, Nobody respects bad character.
Nobody respects cowardice.
Nobody respects treachery.
I mean, these are things that universally are not admirable traits, and I have to say it just reflects very poorly on everybody involved.
You know, it's bad enough that I was embarrassed by this big situation, but you know, I come on your campus as a guest.
I'm a special guest there.
