Good evening, everybody.
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 here tonight on...
Wednesday.
We have a great show for you tonight.
Very excited to be back with you.
unidentified
What?
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼
Did I just say that part?
I'm going crazy.
We got a great show for you tonight.
Lots to talk about.
Lots to get into.
Big show.
Lots going on here.
Sort of mysterious, strange things going on today.
We got a very important show.
I'm being attacked by everybody, constantly, all the time.
And today's no different.
And tonight we're going to look at a new article by this journalist where We're waiting for this hit piece for the past few days.
And she's saying all this trash.
She's talking all this trash about your boy here.
And then, if that wasn't enough, we were going to cover that tonight, and then if that wasn't enough, I find out about a paid influence operation.
Where influencers, specifically gay Jews, are being paid to spread lies about me and call me a fag.
They had a hashtag and everything.
So, this is all breaking today.
This is all brand new stuff.
Okay.
Are you kidding me?
unidentified
Who could wanna... Who could... Who?
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼
Hey.
Who would want to take down this?
Are you kidding me right now?
Who would want to?
Who would have a problem with that?
Who would have a problem with any of that?
Who would have a problem with any of this?
So anyway, so we're going to talk.
I've got to stop looking at myself or we can't move on with the show.
So we're going to talk about all that tonight.
That'll be our show.
We'll be talking about, first we're going to cover this hit piece.
And the hit piece is from The Grey Zone.
You know what I call it?
I call it The Gay Zone.
Because that's what it is.
It's fucking gay.
The Gay Zone.
Big hit piece about me tonight by Anya Parimpil.
She is the wife of Max Blumenthal, who is Jewish.
And he is the son of Sidney Blumenthal, who is Jewish.
Which is fine, if it weren't for all the heresy and blasphemy and going-to-hell aspect of that, who worked for Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton.
So direct connection to the Clinton Foundation, just so everybody should know that before we proceed.
But it's in the gay zone.
It's Max Blumenthal's wife.
And the article is called, Is Nick Fuentes the Future of America First or Its Kiss of Death?
A kiss?
I am America First.
Future kiss.
I'm not a fucking kiss.
I am America First!
How could I kiss me?
I am America First.
How could I be the kiss of America First when I'm me?
I'm not the kiss.
I'm America First.
So, we'll cover her article and we'll read through it.
It's very long.
I don't know if we're going to read through the entire thing.
We're going to have to do some summarizing, because this thing is long.
To tell you the truth, I didn't even read the whole thing, because it was too long for me.
I had a long day.
I had a lot of work to do.
I was doing stuff.
This hit piece drops, and I'm like, what is this, 10,000 words?
So we'll go through it, and then we'll go over, in case you missed it, this is moments ago, breaking tonight, a friend of mine texted me, called me actually, and I didn't answer, because I was busy, and then they said, yo, you gotta, you know, call me back right now.
So I called this person back, and they said that, and I don't know what's going on, but they said that there's this new website called, what is it?
Influenceable?
And I guess this is a platform where sponsors and companies can create social media campaigns where it's a platform where they could go on and they use the platform to pay influencers to spread their narrative, to spread their campaign.
And it's actually questionable how ethical that is because I don't know if anybody even knows about this.
And if you Google it, nothing comes up.
If you search up Influenceable, nothing will come up.
So you have to go to Influenceable.io.
Influenceable.io.
That's the website.
And apparently all your favorite conservative influencers use this.
I've never heard of this.
I never used it.
I never heard about it until today.
But apparently all your favorite conservative influencers use this platform where they are paid to share certain political messaging and they don't disclose that.
Apparently they don't disclose that because The person who called me uses it, and he's a good guy.
I don't think there's anything going on with him.
He was saying, you know, if I see a thing and I like it, then I'll tweet about it or I'll post about it.
But he was telling me that a lot of big names are on this.
He said, you know, if you see any big names attacking you, this is why.
Apparently all the big names use this and, well, nobody knows about it.
Clearly.
Because I've never seen a post that says sponsored by Influensable or sponsored by whatever.
They just post.
So clearly, all your favorite content creators on Twitter are being paid We don't even know which ones they are, because again, none of this is disclosed, but some, a lot of them, notable ones, are being paid for their content on this platform to spread political messages, to spread specific political campaigns, they call it.
And so anyway...
So I got this call and the guy was telling me about this and he says, yeah, and there was a campaign that just got put up and they're offering money for people to spread this hashtag and this narrative.
And we're going to go through the PDF.
It comes with all these different, it comes with a hashtag, it comes with bullet points.
They say they're going to update it as the campaign goes on.
Really weird, shady stuff.
So we're going to go through the entire thing.
It's this one's a lot shorter.
This is a four page PDF.
I got it straight from the source.
And I'll tell you about how this unfolded over the course of the day, really over the course of like two hours.
Very bizarre situation.
So we're going to get to the bottom of all of it.
Very sus.
And I told all of you that this was going to happen.
Did I not say this like a week or two ago?
I don't know the timeline.
I don't know if I said it on the show, but I told it to Hiding, who's out here, my assistant, and I told this to some other people.
But clearly there is a conspiracy to come after me now.
And I don't know who's a part of it, and I don't know what the endgame is, and, you know, I don't know any of the details, but I heard that rumor a week ago that Tucker was sniffing around my situation and asking very leading questions to people that I know, and I had heard about this other thing, this SPLC thing that's coming out, and some other things.
And I had this sense, I had this, because I have a sick sense about these things, I had this sense a week or two ago that there was this conspiracy converging around me, that people are coming to get me.
And I imagine it has a lot to do with the fact that Ye and I had become friends and we're doing political work, we're doing political activity.
And this is on the heels of the Mar-a-Lago dinner where I had a dinner with the President of the United States.
I had dinner with Donald Trump and yay.
And so I'm sure this is on the heels of all of that.
That was like the biggest story in the world for a week, week or two, as well as the Infowars thing.
And so because my profile has risen to these heights and because of now my Relative role of influence in this political movement and all these things.
Now I have become a massive target.
And so clearly there is money coming from somewhere and this is being coordinated by somebody to come after me.
So it turns out I was right.
It turns out I was right.
And I said this on Telegram.
There is something happening here and we're gonna get to the bottom of it.
This is just the beginning.
But shots are being fired, we're getting an idea of what's going on, and I said this on my telegram, never forget that the reason this is happening is because of the things that I say.
And it's interesting because that's actually what this hit piece is about, that's what the campaign was about on social media.
It was about saying, no, that's not why you're cancelled!
You're not cancelled for your activism, you're cancelled for some other thing!
You're cancelled for some other... actually...
But make no mistake about it, the reason that a bounty is being put on my head, like literally money is being put up for people to lie about me and to damage my reputation, the reason that hit pieces are being written about me, and this isn't the first, there was a big Mother Jones piece recently, there was a Vice piece recently, and all the press of course, during the Mar-a-Lago, during Infowars,
The reason why the RNC condemns me, the reason that some cowardly people, contemporaries of mine, are running to try to sidle up next to Turning Point USA with gay talking points, it all is coming down that way because the message that I am pushing is truly the only message that fundamentally challenges the mainstream.
And that is just fucking simply true.
Okay?
And I'm gonna be doing a big collaboration next week.
I'm leaving LA.
I'm going out, actually, out of the country.
I'm doing a big collaboration.
And I was on the phone with this person who I'm collabing with, and this person said something like, um, oh, well, doesn't every conservative say they're the only true conservative?
And it's like, yeah, but in this case, it's true with me!
Because I'm the only one that's saying this message.
There is nobody else who is touching the things I'm touching.
There is nobody else that is addressing these things.
That's why Turning Point USA hosted some big seminar yesterday about the rise of anti-Semitism.
And that's why Matt Walsh on his show will never talk about the Jews.
That's why Candace Owens refused to talk to Ye after her boss yanked a leash.
That's why Alex Jones says it's a shy comms, it's got nothing to do with the Jews.
That's why these even new guys like John Goyle and Vince Dow say, oh, it's not a Zionist-occupied government, it's a theater-kid-occupied government.
Oh, even Scott Greer, who I like for that matter, is a friend of mine.
It's the globalist American empire.
Nope.
Nope.
Yay did not have his hundreds of millions of dollars frozen because he was talking about theater could occupy government or Marxism.
It was because he talked about the Jews.
And that's not the only part of it, but that's obviously a massive part of it, and that's a massive part of the pain box.
That's a massive reason people ask me all the time, why does all this stuff happen to you?
Well, talking about Jews is a big part of that.
It's a big part of, you want to confront what has gone on in our country?
Why our country is the way it is?
What happened in the last 70 years?
You actually can't figure it out unless you talk about the ascendant Jewish elite, which is something that happened during and after the war.
And that is one of the main, one of the biggest things, one of the biggest differences about our society now that was not so a hundred years ago.
A hundred years ago they had quotas.
About who could enter Ivy League universities.
They had quotas!
And scholars like Madison Grant were admired.
And even for that matter, certain other people like Henry Ford or Charles Lindbergh or others were admired.
And now here we are a hundred years later and we know that doesn't fly and we know why.
Because there was a transformation of the American elite in the last century.
And it's part of something that's going on in all of so-called Western civilization.
It's part of something that has been going on in all of Western civilization, which is Europe and America, and that is the Jewish Enlightenment in the last 200 years.
It's the emancipation of the Jews and the Jewish Enlightenment, the creation of this idea of Zionism, the infiltration of these institutions by Jews, This is something that has just happened in the grand scheme of things relatively recently.
It's a transformation that's ongoing, and it is a replacement of the Catholic monarchies, the old regime, you know, the old way, from the French Revolution on to this new regime, which is led by people that are not Catholic, not Christian, not monarchists.
They're not even white, okay?
They're not even European.
And to say that in the same way that it would be ridiculous to say that replacing Englishmen with Hispanics in America through immigration, in the same way that you cannot take one population and replace it with another and they'll be interchangeable, You cannot take one elite class and replace it with another elite class.
Take one class of Catholics, or one class of English, or Germans, or whatever, and replace it with Jews, and it's the same elite, and you get the same kind of things.
They're not interchangeable.
People are not interchangeable.
Their identities, their ideas, their genetics, their culture, it's all different.
And it all differs in significant ways, and those differences produce differences.
They produce different outcomes.
It's just very simple.
This is a transformation that happened recently, and that is why we're living in a totally secular, revolutionary, liberal, mercantile society.
That's the big reason.
Because, I mean, why else?
Any other person in conservative politics ignores this.
I mean, they just plain ignore it.
It's not like they talk about it, but they're just on the other side of it.
They just pretend it doesn't exist.
When asked about it, they refuse.
When pressed on it, they strike back.
When they're really pressed on it, they offer up this lame reassurance about our closest ally and Judeo-Christian stuff that doesn't even make sense.
It's like a non sequitur.
I'm the only one that addresses that.
And consequently, I'm the only one that was reinstated and then banned on Twitter.
I'm the only one that is banned on every service.
I'm the only one that's banned, blacklisted, etc.
So... Or at least to the extent that I am.
So anyway, but we're going to get into that.
We're going to get into just that question.
Before we do though, I want to remind you to smash the follow button here on Cozy.
Smash the follow button to get a push notification whenever I go live.
Follow me on Gab Telegram, true social links are down below.
Okay.
So we'll dive in here and I guess I will talk about the, I'll talk about this social media thing first.
Okay, so I'll talk about the hit piece.
Okay, you know what?
Actually, I'll talk about the hit piece first.
unidentified
Okay.
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼
Let me pull it up.
Okay.
unidentified
Whoops!
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼
Whoa!
I hate being on a laptop.
unidentified
All right.
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼
Okay.
unidentified
Let me do this.
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼
Boom!
Okay, can you see it?
You know, we can do better.
Let me make this a little bigger.
Move myself over.
Let me push this over a little bit.
I'll do this.
Okay.
Is that a little better?
All right.
So we're going to go through this article.
So this is how it all started.
And just to give you a little preface, so Last week, or a couple weeks ago, Tucker Carlson called somebody I know, and they were asking questions about Ye, among other things.
And they were accusing me of being a federal informant.
And this got back around to me.
And I talked about it on my show.
I said that maybe Tucker Carlson's doing a hit piece on me.
He's asking these leading questions, like he was reading a script.
And I said, so obviously, something's coming.
If it's not a Tucker Carlson special, What does he call that series?
Tucker Carlson?
Exclusive?
Whatever.
Well, it's gonna be something.
And it turned out that's what this was.
So this is in a publication called The Gray Zone, which is run by Max Blumenthal, who's a prominent Jewish leftist.
He is the son of Sidney Blumenthal.
Sidney Blumenthal is a Jewish Democrat operative.
He worked for Bill Clinton, famously.
They called him Bill Clinton's hatchet man, silencing his accusers.
He also worked for Hillary Clinton.
He was going to get a job in the Obama administration, but he was going to get in the Clinton State Department in the Obama administration, but Rahm Emanuel shut it down because Sidney Blumenthal helped come up with the birtherism conspiracy, which actually came from the Clinton, the Hillary Clinton campaign in 2008.
So Sidney Blumenthal, he was also involved in the Steele dossier.
I mean, he's got his fingerprints everywhere.
Hardcore Jewish leftist Democrat operative.
His son, Max Blumenthal, is another hardcore leftist Jewish guy.
And this is his publication, it's called The Gray Zone.
So, now, in fairness, Well, and this journalist is Max Blumenthal's wife, okay?
In fairness, I talked to her on the phone.
She said that she changed the piece a lot, based on our conversation.
And she says that she's being super fair to me.
You be the judge.
We're gonna go through it.
But it is important to... It is important to point out that this is a Jewish publication, okay?
This is a publication that's run by a left-wing media Jew.
And so...
The angle of the article, usually the hit pieces are talking about how, oh, he's a white supremacist, he's a white nationalist, he's a neo-Nazi.
This article is almost attacking me from the populist right.
And it's not saying you're a Nazi, it's not saying you're a white supremacist, it's saying you're not who you say you are.
They're saying you're killing the America First movement.
That's the headline.
Is Nick Fuentes the future of America First or its kiss of death?
But this is a publication written or owned by a Jewish leftist and with some very suspicious ties to a very prominent Jewish Democrat.
So I think it's a question worth asking and we're going to judge the article on its merits.
So we're going to read through and we're going to look at it and you can be the judge and I'll provide context and everything.
But this is a worthwhile question to ask.
Can a publication which is owned by a Jewish leftist give a fair treatment of this subject?
The subject being, who is truly America first?
Are Jewish leftists the authority on what it means to be America first?
Because it has been my stated position since at least August 2017, or maybe even earlier than that, That the dissident right movement in America has got to be Christian.
Not Jewish, not Judeo-Christian, but Christian.
And as a consequence of that, and subsequently, through that idea, I challenge and confront Jewish power.
We have a Jewish elite, it's disproportionately Jewish, overwhelmingly Jewish, and its Jewishness is not insignificant.
The Jewishness of the elite, you can see the evidence of it everywhere.
Here's a good example.
Pornography is proliferated everywhere and tolerated.
That is something, that is an industry that is run by Jews.
If Christians ran our society, it would be a different story.
When Christians ran our society in the past, pornography was not allowed.
It took a Supreme Court case for laws against pornography to be overturned, the case against Larry Flint in the 1990s.
So that's just one example.
So the question is this.
Here I am, a Christian, white, or Hispanic, or Italian, Irish, American.
I say that I'm America First.
I challenge Jewish power.
I say that it has to be Christian to the exclusion of other religious groups or atheists.
Can an atheist Jewish leftist be an authority on what the America First movement should be?
And can a publication owned I think that's a valid question, whether that poses a conflict of interest.
Okay.
So here's the article.
Let me adjust this so I can read it a little better.
I think that's a valid question, whether that poses a conflict of interest.
Okay.
So here's the article.
Let me adjust this so I can read it a little better.
unidentified
Okay.
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼
So we're going to go through it.
Like I said, we're not going to read the entire thing because it's super long, but we'll read a lot of it.
And like I said, this is Anya Parampol.
It's written by Max Blumenthal's wife.
It says, self-described Christian reactionary Nick Fuentes built his youthful following by claiming the title of Most Cancelled Man in America.
Now he is consciously weaponizing it to undermine the America First movement.
In part one of this three-part investigative series, we sort the fact from fiction in Fuentes' tale of persecution.
So she says that I'm weaponizing my title of the Most Cancelled Man in America, which is just about as ironic as it gets.
You want to know why?
Because, like, the banking system and federal law enforcement and big tech and just about everything has been weaponized against me.
How?
Well, I've been banned from at least four different banks.
Banned from having a personal checking account.
Like, I had a personal checking account that I was using to pay my bills and order DoorDash and go to McDonald's, and they called me up and banned my personal checking account.
Chase Bank, Bank of America, U.S.
Bank, Inland Bank.
I think there might be several others that we used for the business side of things.
Personal and business checking accounts banned from all these banks.
That's the financial system being weaponized against me.
I've been put on the, I believe, because they don't tell you, I've been put on the match list, which is a blacklist maintained by Mastercard, which disallows you from processing credit card payments on your website.
So I can't, as a consequence, I cannot process payments with a credit card on my website or for any of my businesses, for my non-profit, for my several LLCs, or for this platform.
I cannot take payments using a credit card because the credit card companies have banned me from accepting payments.
Even still, I'm also banned from many banks that underwrite the credit card processing.
So there's like, there's layers to it.
That's a financial system being weaponized against me.
Federal government's been weaponized against me.
I've been subpoenaed.
I've been placed on the federal no-fly list.
I've had my money frozen by the federal government.
I'm currently under FBI investigation.
That's how federal law enforcement's weaponized against me.
As you know, I'm banned from Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, Reddit, Discord, Email Octopus, Stackpath.
I'm banned from...
Anything you can think of, PayPal, Stripe, Streamlabs, Stream Elements, I've been banned from.
That's how big tech has been weaponized against me.
I'm banned from Airbnb.
The press has been weaponized against me.
I've been smeared as a white supremacist, white nationalist, etc., etc.
My home address has been doxed.
I've been swatted.
My family has been doxed.
They have attacked my father and my father's place of business.
They've attacked my mother, who has cancer.
I've had shit mailed to my front door.
That's how other things have been weaponized against me.
Now, I'm not saying that to throw a big pity party for myself.
I'm saying that to say that is just a quick survey.
Of the manner in which American institutions have been weaponized against me by people far more powerful than me, far richer than me.
SPLC is an example, which marshals a lot of these and conspires in a lot of these things, has a 500 million dollar endowment.
ADL, similar sized endowment.
As you know, big tech are trillion dollar companies, trillion dollar market cap.
Federal government goes without saying.
Now, I go on my show and talk about these things and say that, of course, if all these things are happening to me, then that gives me some credibility.
If I'm a freedom fighter, if I'm a dissident, if I'm a rebel, then all of the powerful institutions cracking down on me and being weaponized in that manner, well, that gives me credibility.
That demonstrates that I'm saying something that is getting the attention of the powerful people that we seek to replace eventually.
Now, this article, the narrative of this article is that by saying that, I'm weaponizing that story.
The fact that all these things have happened to me, I am now weaponizing that to destroy the America First movement.
Me being banned on Twitter, I'm weaponizing that by saying, hey, I got banned on Twitter.
Seriously?
Now, this is... Now, granted, this is being written by somebody who uses Twitter, processes credit cards for their business, is not under FBI investigation, as far as I know, is not banned from anything.
And the same is true of her husband, and the same is true of her father-in-law.
But I'm weaponizing these bad things that have happened to me.
Okay?
That's the thesis.
And here's some bullet points.
Far-right agitator, livestreamer Nick Fuentes has urged his followers to rape, kill, and die for him while demanding Jews get the fuck out of America and vowing to piss on your Talmud.
Fuentes has claimed credit for destroying the congressional candidacy of Joe Kent, a Trump ally, national security state critic, while vying to ruin the reputations of America First leaders like Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene.
While claiming he was placed on the U.S.
government's no-fly list for his political views, Fuentes was in fact added to the list for threatening on video to strangle flight attendants he was removed after a short period.
While telling his followers the U.S.
Department of Justice seized his bank accounts because of his activism, those accounts were briefly held in a money laundering investigation and have since been returned.
From U.S.
Capitol Reflecting Pool on January 6, Fuentes urged rioters to break down the barriers and disregard the police.
Unlike some 900 other participants in the melee who have since been arrested, he has not been questioned over the day's events.
Fuentes wonders whether or not federal authorities are pursuing him as part of their criminal conspiracy case against Trump.
Fuentes injected himself into a major New York City rally against vaccine mandates against the wishes of organizers, prompting the media to brand the protest as a white supremacist event.
Some activists involved in the rally questioned whether Fuentes was controlled opposition.
And finally, a reclusive French crypto millionaire donated a quarter of a million dollars to Fuentes a day before committing suicide.
The contribution was first reported by a publication funded by the U.S.
Department of Justice.
So we'll skim the rest of the article, but I want to address each of these because these are the big pieces.
And then we'll go through and scan.
The rest is literally so long.
We'll go through each bullet point.
This is the basis of their narrative here.
So let's start with this.
Far-right agitators urges followers to rape, kill, and die for him.
Okay, obviously a joke.
While demanding Jews get the fuck out of America, vowing to piss on your Talmud.
So much of what is said about me is based on just flat-out obvious context denial.
And, you know, the things that I say on my show, like, am I joking right now?
Obviously I'm not joking.
Obviously you can tell as a human being based on my tone, if you don't have autism, that this is a serious tone and I'm speaking to you in a serious manner.
I think just about everybody can identify and recognize that.
But so much has been said about me in the last five years, not about the things that I mean and my actual political program.
It's not about my speeches.
It's not about the things that I write.
It's about obvious jokes that people transcribe as though they're not jokes.
That is a form of lying.
If I say a joke and I say, hey, rape, kill, and die, LOL, and people write and say Nick Fuentes is telling everyone to murder other people and rape women and suicide bomb everything in his name, well, that's a lie.
That's a lie, because tone and context, of course, matter.
When somebody's telling a joke, when somebody's saying something that's obviously not to be taken seriously or literally, that's actually part of its meaning.
Because words don't just have denotations, they have connotations, and also there's nonverbal meaning as well.
That's actually a big part of communication.
That should be really simple and easy to understand.
But for the last five or six years, people say, well, we just can't tell when he's joking and when he's not.
It's very easy to tell when I'm joking and when I'm not.
Obviously.
I've always said my real political views.
I've always made jokes on the show.
Nobody has really a difficult time when it's Jon Stewart or when it's some other asshole liberal on TV.
But when it comes to me, everybody has autism.
Suddenly everybody has crippling autism and they can't tell.
I'm not going to complain too much about that one.
That's par for the course.
But no, in case anybody is wondering, for the record, I have never actually encouraged anyone to rape anyone or kill anyone.
I'm a Christian.
I have actually said for years that we should not carry out political violence for that reason because it's immoral and wrong and heinous.
And I've said as much for years.
I have also said that people should not be dying.
I've also said that people should not even be starting YouTube channels or defending me in public.
I've said that people shouldn't even get in fights with their parents.
About the things that I say on my show, let alone die for the things I say on my show.
And in case anybody needs that for the record, there it is.
Demanding Jews get the fuck out of America.
I actually said, I mean, that one's fair enough.
I said, if you think that Christ is burning in hell, then you can get the fuck out of America.
But I'm not going to quibble too much about that one.
That one's, you know, maybe that's fair.
It says, Fuentes has claimed credit for destroying the congressional candidacy of Joe Kent, and he's a national security state critic vying to ruin the reputation of leaders like Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Goes without saying, of course, that Joe Kent attacked me first.
Joe Kent called me an anti-Semite.
He said that I was shoving my race and my religion in everybody's face.
He disavowed me unequivocally.
Then he lied about the fact that him and I were in contact, and I had his phone number and talked to him on the phone, and consulted with him about social media.
So that's a little context.
Marjorie Taylor Greene also, of course, denounced me as an anti-Semite.
And I think actually she ruined her own reputation by sledding it up for Kevin McCarthy.
Claiming he was placed on the U.S. government's no-fly list for his views, Fuentes was, in fact, added to the list for threatening on video to strangle flight attendants.
Again, I flew back from Miami, or was it—maybe this was before, I don't recall— But I flew back from Miami, a flight attendant yelled at me for wearing my mask below my nose.
I got on my show and said, oh, I'll put a mask over your nose!
Just kidding.
He was put on the no-fly list for threatening on video to strangle flight attendants.
This is maybe the most outrageous because I talked to this journalist on the phone And she has the recording of it, so if she wants to release it, she can.
But she said, you were obviously joking.
We talked about it.
I said, are you really going to publish that I was not put on the no-fly list for January 6th because the TSA's official reason is this joke I said on my show?
And she goes, well, yeah, because that's what they said.
I said, but you know that that was obviously a pretext, right?
Because it was obviously a joke.
And she goes, well, you were joking.
You were obviously joking, she goes.
And I think that it's so wrong they put you on the list and they were harassing you.
But she publishes this like I got on my show and said, I'm going to actually do an actionable threat.
And because the TSA said that, that's why I was on the no-fly list.
That's actually why I was on the no-fly list.
Let me ask you this.
If other people made jokes about masks on planes, were they put on the federal no-fly list, which is actually a really big deal?
No, of course they weren't.
Was this a legally actionable threat?
No, of course it wasn't, because charges were never filed, and I was removed from the no-fly list when they investigated it.
The reason given that I was put on the no-fly list is a pretext.
They put me on the no-fly list after January 6th because I was there on January 6th and I didn't trespass there, obviously.
The reason that this even came to the attention of federal law enforcement is because of media attention about me being at the Capitol, being one of the most vocal supporters of Stop the Steal from the November 3rd election through to January 6th.
I was in Atlanta, Lansing, Phoenix, Harrisburg, D.C.
for months leading up to it.
I was there with a megaphone with Alex Jones and Ali.
And of course, being put on the no-fly list had everything to do with January 6th and nothing to do with a throwaway joke on my show that, doubtless, federal law enforcement is not even watching.
But was just turned over to them and some partisan hack threw me on the list with this as a pretext.
The journalist knows that, she admitted as much, but she printed in the publication the stated reason from the government.
We should believe the stated reason from the government.
Why?
This is the same government that raids Mar-a-Lago, the same government that went to war without a reason in Iraq, that does... The point is they do all these kinds of things.
But they say, well, we got him for a joke.
He was removed after a short period.
I was removed after more than a year.
I was put on the list in January, I was removed in November, I wasn't even told I was removed until March the following year, and I remained on the Quad S, which is Selective secondary security screening, which is almost as bad as a no-fly list.
I was removed from that in June.
So I was on a list.
I wasn't told I was off of it.
I remained on enhanced security screening for about a year and a half.
That's not a short period.
And during that period, I almost missed my annual political conference.
I missed a funeral of one of my good friends.
I missed a wedding of one of my best friends.
I missed several weddings, actually.
I'm an American that was never charged for any crime.
Not even accused of committing a crime, and I was denied my civil liberty, my freedom of movement to travel in my own country for no reason.
And then they said, oh, well, we actually put you on the list for making a joke, which, by the way, is First Amendment protected speech.
And they didn't even tell me until six months after the fact.
But this fucking hack is going to go, even though she knows all that, she's going to go and publish and say, Fuentes was in fact added to the list for threatening on video to strangle Flo- for making a fucking First Amendment protected joke.
If that was a real threat, I would have been charged with the crime.
Federal aviation is a serious business.
Incitement is a real federal statute on the book.
If they were made aware of that video by the activist class, they could have filed charges.
They didn't.
They were aware of it, they took action based on it, and they took me off.
Because that is First Amendment protected speech.
It's First Amendment protected speech and probably it's not actionable as a charge because it was obviously a joke.
The journalist knows that.
I know that.
Everybody knows that.
The people that reported that to law enforcement knows that.
Law enforcement knows that.
But she's gonna print and say, oh, he was added to the list for threatening on video to strangle flight attendants.
unidentified
He was removed after a short period.
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼
And this is just about minimizing what has happened to me.
You know, you could say that, you could say, what's short, what's long?
Is one and a half years short relative to a hundred years?
Sure.
But it doesn't change the fact that it happened.
It doesn't change the fact that that is overreach that has not happened to anybody else.
It didn't happen to Tucker.
It didn't happen to Alex Jones.
It didn't happen to Ali.
It didn't happen to anybody.
Other people were put on Quad S. Baked Alaska was put on Quad S. Lowell's was put on Quad S. Other people were put on the Quad S security screening list.
I was the only one that was put on the no-fly list.
And they say it's for a joke.
Really?
You think that's a big coincidence?
It goes on.
While telling his followers the U.S.
Department of Justice seized his accounts because of his activism, those accounts were briefly held in a money laundering investigation and have since been returned.
That is an outright lie.
And the journalist who printed that also knows that.
And in fact, I center the correspondence.
If you want to know the truth about the money that was seized, I center my correspondence with the U.S.
Attorney's Office.
February 16th, 2021.
My money was frozen, I think, on January 24th, 2021.
This is February 16th, 2021.
This is from U.S.
Attorney Jesse Camille, Jesse Camille Brooks.
And this is a email to my legal counsel.
She writes, Uh, to my lawyer.
Thanks for reaching out.
I hope you are well.
To answer your two questions, one, the government does not have a timeline for the unfreezing of the funds.
Two, Mr. Fuentes is currently a subject of investigation due to his placement on the Capitol grounds on January 6, 2021.
I am CC-ing my co-counsels, Risa Burkauer and Elizabeth Alloy, for further correspondence.
She writes, this is a follow-up, good morning, the government is indeed claiming his frozen assets are tainted.
As mentioned on our phone call, the civil action slash investigation is against the assets and their involvement in a variety of suspected criminal behavior.
We should have more updates for you regarding the funds within the next few weeks.
So let's return to this, and by the way, I told her that I received that email when she called me for comment on Monday or Sunday.
She writes, while telling his followers the DOJ seized his bank account because of activism, those accounts were held in a money laundering investigation and have since been returned.
Well, that's just not even true.
Because here I have correspondence from the U.S.
Attorney's Office from February 16th, 2021.
Three weeks after the funds were seized, saying the assets are being investigated due to my placement on the Capitol grounds on January 6th.
This is the number of the U.S.
Attorney that was given to me by Bank of America regarding the legal order placed on those funds.
This is the first correspondence that she had with my legal counsel regarding the unfreezing of the funds.
They were not frozen for an unrelated money laundering investigation.
They were frozen because of my presence on the Capitol grounds, which yes, is because of my activism.
So that's just a fucking lie.
It goes on.
From U.S.
Capitol Reflecting Pool on January 6, Fuentes urged rioters to break down the barrier and disregard the police.
Unlike some 900 other participants in the melee who have been arrested, he has not been questioned over the day's events.
Fuentes wonders whether or not federal authorities are pursuing him as part of their criminal conspiracy case against Trump.
Well, the 900 that she's referring to are people that were charged by the Department of Justice.
Do you know what nearly every single one of those defendants has in common?
They were charged with trespassing.
They were charged with trespassing or unlawful presence on restricted capital grounds because they ascended the steps of the U.S.
Capitol.
That's what they all have in common.
And the ones that were charged who did not have a trespassing charge or did not have a charge for unlawful presence were people that were part of militias.
Every single one of the defendants was either trespassing or a member of a militia group like the Three Percenters, Proud Boys, Oath Keepers.
So why was I not questioned or charged like those defendants?
Because I didn't trespass.
I'd never ascended the steps.
I never cleared the threshold.
I didn't enter the building.
I didn't enter the Senate chamber.
I'm not part of the Oath Keepers, the Three Percenters, or the Proud Boys.
So the question, or rather the statement, seems to insinuate that there is something conspicuous about the fact that I wasn't questioned.
Or about the fact that I wasn't charged, but unlike every single other defendant, I neither trespassed nor was a member of a militia group.
However, almost all of my friends were questioned.
Vince James was questioned about me.
Bryson Gray was questioned about me.
Lowles was questioned about me.
Perhaps the difference is that I retained legal counsel, and so when the FBI or the DOJ was questioning About my involvement, they were talking to my legal counsel as I read from the correspondence on February 16, 2021.
So actually, I was contacted by the U.S.
attorneys.
I actually was subpoenaed by the U.S.
Congress, and I am currently under investigation by the FBI, or at least as of January 2022.
So the idea that I wasn't questioned is not true.
I was actually the subject of an investigation by the FBI, still may be.
U.S.
attorneys reached out to my counsel and I was subpoenaed by the House.
And why I never got charged or why I wasn't questioned in the manner of these other, of the 900 defendants, it's because I didn't do the things that the 900 others did.
C.J.
Pearson was never charged with anything.
C.J.
Pearson was on top of a cop car.
Now, I don't have a problem with that guy.
Alex Jones was never charged.
Alex Jones was up.
He was further than me.
He was on the steps on a megaphone, like a lot of people were.
They never got charged.
That's because they didn't trespass and they weren't part of militia groups.
And that doesn't mean, by the way, that charges are not still pending.
I still retain legal counsel, which is extremely costly to this day, because this investigation isn't over.
Has the Department of Justice cleared Donald Trump in their investigation?
No.
That's because this thing is still ongoing.
That's why they're still arresting people.
That's why it took them a year to arrest Stuart Rhodes and a year to arrest Enrique Tarrio.
If you think that Donald Trump and Giuliani and Lindell and Alex Jones and Ali and I are out of the woods yet, you're just mistaken.
You're just wrong about that.
But they're begging for it.
I mean, and this is how they operate.
It doesn't matter what happens to you.
It's not enough to show, it's not enough to demonstrate your credibility as a good faith actor.
I could be put on the no-fly list.
Be subpoenaed.
Have my money seized.
Get put on the match list.
Retain expensive legal counsel for a variety of things.
It's not enough to demonstrate that I'm a good-faith actor being oppressed.
Because, well, they took you off the no-fly list.
Well, they said it was about something else.
Now in spite of the fact that that's not even, it's not even finished yet, the day that I get charged or the day, you know, God forbid, the day that I get charged or arrested, then they'll still say, oh well, he's still whatever.
You know, they want me to go to jail.
They want me to go to jail.
That's what it is.
If I somehow by the grace of God survive, I'm able to make money, I'm able to put on my show, I'm able to evade, which I would prefer to do, evade a conviction or a charge from the federal government.
If I somehow survive, well that's evidence of how I'm controlled opposition and a fad.
If they fucking kill me and take me out, if they throw me in jail and throw away the key, or they put a bullet in my head, or they wipe me from the internet, or they bankrupt me, and I'm out of the game, then they say, oh, guess he was legit.
You can't win.
You can't win until you lose.
And I've said this before.
The day that I die, all these shills are gonna appropriate me.
I'll become a legend like X Tentacion.
I'll become a legend like any, like, underground rapper.
The day that I die, if I die young, mark my words, All these people that were afraid to associate with me as I live now, they will try to appropriate my image or my ideas or pretend like they were part of it.
Why?
Because I'll be in the fucking ground, and I'm not still active, and I'm not still alive, and I don't still pose a threat, and I'm not still fighting.
But every single day until my dying breath, People are gonna say, they're either gonna run away from me, or hide their association with me, or they're gonna outright attack me and lie about me.
And it's the same thing here.
It doesn't matter how bad things get for me.
If I'm still alive, they'll say, well, it's not enough.
Until I get thrown in jail.
Then they'll say, oops, guess we were wrong!
Cause like, I still could get charged.
And that's something that I worry about.
That's why I still retain legal counsel, which costs me a fortune.
Which I've never fundraised for, by the way, which we'll get into some of these other aspects of it.
Because that's still hanging over my head.
And that's because I was there.
That's because I answered the call.
The election was stolen, and Donald Trump told us to be there.
So I was there.
And now I've paid the price.
Now I face the consequence.
Do I get any kind of praise?
Do I get credit for that?
Do people say he was a soldier, he was loyal, he did the right thing?
Unlike Tucker, who never covered it once.
Unlike many people who didn't show up, or stayed silent, or did the bare minimum, or they couldn't be asked to go to Pennsylvania because they wanted to sit at home and play Spider-Man on the PlayStation 5, I was actually out there spending my own money, which I never fundraised for either, spending tens of thousands of dollars of my own money
And flying out on my own dime and putting myself up and going out and giving speeches and working hard because that was the right thing to do.
It was maybe a lost cause, but it was legitimate.
You all see the fallout from that.
You all see the consequence now of living in a country where elections are all rigged and nothing's ever going to be done about it, and now we don't have a chance in hell at doing anything.
We went out there to do the right thing and fight for the dying cause, the lost cause, because if there was even a small chance, it was worth it to go out there and risk life and limb and spend my money doing it.
Well, other people, they couldn't even use their platform to talk about it or fly out and do anything.
They were busy, I don't even know, having sex with brown girls or something in Austin, Texas or Dallas or something.
You know, or they were sitting at home playing video games or whatever.
I was actually out there and I actually did what I was supposed to do because I wasn't foolish enough to rush in and commit a crime.
Now they say, oh well, you're a fed or whatever.
Even though I still paid a price.
Even though I didn't commit a crime, I still paid a hefty price, but that's not enough.
And you know what?
It's like whatever.
Obviously these are just lies.
Obviously this is just like totally misleading and bad faith and just straight up wrong and it's just like immoral.
I mean, I know they all have a glib attitude about it, and they're like, you know, haha, like, we're gonna make Nick's life hard, we're gonna go and lie about him, we're gonna, like, damage his reputation and all that.
It's just wrong.
Like, the reason that I get passionate about it is because it's just wrong.
And, you know, a lot of people are going to believe this crap, and people keep on lying about it all day long, and then they'll rub their hands together with glee because this is causing me reputational harm.
But no one will make my case for me, because, you know, that's just how it is.
But I have to make my case for me.
This is just flat-out wrong.
And the facts are against this.
Anyway, it goes on, Fuentes injected himself into a major New York City rally against vaccine mandates against the wishes of organizers, prompting the media to brand the protest as a white supremacist event.
Some activists involved in the rally questioned whether he was controlled opposition.
This one is just stupid.
Injected himself into- We organized our own rallies.
The Staten Island rally was our rally, which we fucking paid for.
The Gracie Manor rally was a rally that we paid for and we organized.
The Pfizer rally, we attempted to join up with a local group and they didn't want any part of it because they're liberal.
Am I supposed to apologize for what the media calls me?
The media called him something after he... We were the biggest spokespeople against the vaccine.
I was one of the only ones.
So that's just retarded.
Reclusive French crypto millionaire donated $250,000 to Fuentes a day before committing suicide.
The contribution was first reported by a publication funded by the U.S.
Department of Justice.
And that's just true.
I think though actually it was first reported by an Antifa guy and I could pull the screenshot if you look on Twitter.
The first report on this was in December and it was by some Antifa guy who was monitoring my Bitcoin wallet address.
But let's go on here.
So these are some quotes here from my deal.
So those are the major points but we'll go through and we'll kind of skim this.
Let's see.
I'm a true radical 24 year old live streamer told the gray zone during a lengthy phone conversation.
I'm just about creating disruption.
Characterizing himself as a Christian reactionary, Fuentes described his vision for the future of American politics, a total purge of government agencies, complete shutdown of the border, constitutional reform to mold the country into a Christian nation.
Not a violent revolution, nothing illegal.
I'm a revolutionary in that way, and so that's why when people say, oh, like, you're making the Republicans look bad, it's like, well, fuck the Republicans and their party.
It doesn't do anything for us anyway.
Indeed, since he first attracted the national spotlight during the 2016 season, Fuentes has functioned like a grenade inside the America First wing of the party.
Not really, because there was never an America First wing until, like, three years ago, and I kind of started it.
After appearing seemingly out of nowhere to shadow hip-hop art- Out of- I love- Every time I get national press coverage, they say, he appeared out of nowhere.
I definitely didn't appear out of nowhere.
With Ye, and by the way, it's not Kanye West, it's Ye.
Blah blah blah, the establishment press spent days inundating the public with his provocative persona, quoting his Hitler-sympathetic tirades—oh, they're tirades?—providing breathless coverage of his outrageous antics both on and offline.
In unified chorus, corporate hosts blasted Trump for associating with a white nationalist neo-Nazi who represented worst of the worst in American politics.
Yet, bizarrely, Amidst the swell of hysteria over the brief Fuentes-Trump encounter, virtually no journalist bothered to ask obvious questions about the live streamer's trajectory.
Yeah, like that's true.
I've had journalists stalking me for six years.
Mother Jones just did a huge piece last week about 2016 on.
The Chicago Tribune did a hit piece about my- they interviewed people I knew in high school.
Or was it the Sun-Times?
It was one of the Chicago papers.
Oh, nobody asked where I came from?
Everybody!
Dude, SPLC, ADL, Right-Wing Watch has been writing about me for six years.
They wrote about me during Groyper War, In Time, Atlantic, Fox News.
They wrote about me during January 6th, everywhere.
They wrote about me during the Mar-a-Lago thing, everywhere.
Virtually nobody is asking these questions.
Okay, so, like, Source?
How exactly did a seemingly fringe Gen Z internet phenom, well that's true, Managed to embed himself within an A-list artist-trusted inner circle, and from there gain access to the former president just as he launched a fresh run for office.
If anyone had bothered to account for Fuentes' rapid rise, they would have uncovered a captivating, yet depressingly zoomer-coming saga that illuminates many of modern U.S.
history's most significant cultural and political moments, from Trump's insurgent presidency to January 6th to Ye's fateful dinner in Florida.
They would have also discovered that Fuentes' surprise appearance at Mar-a-Lago was consistent with a well-established pattern of contradictory behavior.
While cultivating a public image akin to an archetypal MAGA villain plucked from the nightmares of Washington's media and political elite, Fuentes has in fact defined his entire career through an exceptional ability to instigate conflict and inflict massive structural damage within the very movement he claims to represent.
I inflict damage on the... When have I ever claimed to represent Marjorie Taylor Greene and Ronna McDaniel?
Inflicting massive structural... Do you know what the word structural means?
What structural damage have I caused?
And what movement do I claim to represent that I've damaged?
I've damaged the cause of, what, Catholicism?
How is that the case?
I have hundreds of people that have super chatted me over the years saying that I've converted them to Catholicism.
I've not caused any damage to that.
I've not caused any damage to the cause of promoting white racial consciousness or a consciousness of Jewish power, awareness of Jewish power.
I've not caused any damage to the cause of bringing attention to the Israel lobby and its pernicious influence on our foreign policy.
Everything that I've championed is now burgeoning and bursting at the seams In the mainstream political conversation, everything from Hitler, to Holocaust revision, to white genocide, to traditional... All of these things are on the rise!
All of these things are exploding in relevance!
All of these things are everywhere!
All of these things move from unspeakable, radioactive at Charlottesville, To the subject of mainstream conversation on Fox News, InfoWars, Turning Point USA, Daily Wire.
Do you think without Nick Fuentes that any of that would be happening?
At Charlottesville, I was radioactive and untouchable because they were talking about white genocide.
Now that's everywhere.
You don't think Royper Wars had anything to do with it?
You don't think my show had anything to do with it?
Of course it did.
Take a look at high-profile mainstream figures like Elijah Schaffer, John Miller, Bryson Gray, among others, who are behind the scenes and don't even want to be acknowledged yet, who were once, you know, self-described California conservatives, or whatever, and are now totally down with the mission.
You don't think that they were having conversations in the break room?
You don't think that they talked to the... You don't think You don't think that me championing these ideas everywhere all the time, viral, relevant, antagonizing them, in the Gruyper War, in the backrooms, you don't think that that produced a sea change?
The idea that because Ronna McDaniel's getting called a neo-Nazi because of me has got nothing to do with my movement.
That's, if anything, that's inflicting structural damage on my enemy, which is the conservative establishment.
Who has done more damage to the conservative establishment?
Who has created more problems for them than me?
That's why they filter Groypers out of Turning Point.
That's why they filter them out of Daily Wire, Fox News.
Anyway.
Massive damage on the movement he claims to represent.
Groipers?
I don't think I ever inflicted any damage on the Groipers by being fucking awesome.
In short order, Fuentes evolved from a charismatic campus conservative to the commander-in-chief of the Groiper Army, a dedicated band of disaffected youth who found common purpose through the live streamer's underground internet community.
He now commands his own non-profit, the America First Foundation, which has raked in enough funding to host an annual convention rivaling even the long-established CPAC of the Republican elite.
So wait, which is it?
If I'm inflicting massive structural damage on my own movement, then how am I able to rake in massive amounts of money and build a huge non-profit and create a conference that rivals CPAC despite being censored and blacklisted?
That doesn't seem like I'm inflicting structural damage on my own movement.
If I could do all that, it seems like a pretty obvious contradiction.
During an October livestream, Fuentes turned up his white supremacist tirades to a new level, demanding, Jews, get out of America.
You serve the devil.
You serve Satan.
He thundered.
Let's watch the actual clip.
They hate Jesus.
If you hate Jesus, you have a problem with me.
Newsflash, and every Christian, this should be the mantra.
If you hate Jesus, you have a problem with Christians.
Straight up.
Don't tell me religious Jews or whatever.
Question, do you hate Jesus?
Because if you do, that's a problem.
That's a big problem.
It's especially a big problem if you have any influence whatsoever.
If you hate Jesus and you have influence, it's my job that you don't have influence anymore.
Because I'm a real Christian.
I'm not just one of these, hey, believe whatever you want.
Our job is to save souls and get people to heaven and fight the devil.
So don't tell me they're entitled to their religion.
If their religion involves my Lord in hell, then they can get the fuck out of America, frankly.
So what's the quote?
