Nick Fuentes says his interview with Tucker Carlson was “so friendly,” and that he never got the feeling Carlson was trying to him to stop him from being antisemitic

NICK FUENTES (HOST): The reason that I am popular, actually, it’s not because the economy is bad, actually. It’s not because young men are disillusioned, whatever that means. It’s not because young men don’t have economic opportunities and you’re going to go and tell them about the free market or whatever. 

Let me tell you why I began my generational run this year. It’s because last year I was the only one that got up and said, “Don’t vote for Trump. He’s owned by the Jews. He’ll bring us to war in Iran.” I was the only one that said that. When Miriam Adelson made her deal with Trump to give him $100,000,000 in exchange for bombing Iran and the West Bank, I said that’s a red flag. I said that means Trump will sell us out. I said don’t vote for him. 

Candace Owens supported him. Tucker Carlson gave a speech at the Republican convention. They know better. Everybody supported him. I didn’t. And when Trump bombed Iran, everybody tuned into my show because they said this guy’s been talking about it for a long time, so this guy must know what he’s talking about. That’s what started the generational run. 

Tucker didn’t put me on. Candace Owens didn’t put me on. Bradley Martyn didn’t put me on. And as much as I appreciated those people having me on their platform, what put me on is that I’m fucking right. I’m right about Israel. I’m right about our Jewish oligarchy. I’m more right than anybody else.

I’m more right than Tucker. I’m more right than this, antisemite-light thing, whatever that is. I’m more right than people like Tucker that say, “It has nothing to do with Jewish people. It’s only about Israel’s policies in Gaza.” Yeah, that’s a lie. That’s a lie. And it’s a lie from someone who has been in politics for 25 years, but only started criticizing Israel last year. Gee, I wonder why? I guess he had an epiphany. Amazing. Amazing. 

And now, these people that were wrong for 25 years or lying, they now want to circumscribe the limit of acceptable debate on the subject. “Hi, I’m Tucker Carlson. I supported the war in Iraq. I didn’t say anything about Israel for 30 years, but I just figured it out last year and now I want to say what’s acceptable to talk about. Nick Fuentes is an antisemite, that’s too far. But Nalin Haley is just right. But Candace Owens is just right. Nick Fuentes, he’s a Jew hater and antisemite. I don’t avow that, but the young people like him because they’re mad.”

I’m sorry, why are we listening to you? Because you were wrong for 30 years. I’ve been right for the last 10. So maybe you should listen to me. I don’t know why I’m listening to you.

Allegedly, I found this out after the fact, after I went to Tucker’s studio, I find out that he brought me on the show to dissuade me from being antisemitic. See, I didn’t know that because he never brought that up. In our dinner, in our interview, you know, he never brought that up. But since the interview, he’s gone around to Megyn Kelly and to Shawn Ryan and all these other people and told them, “Oh, I was trying to persuade him to stop hating Jews.” That’s weird. I missed that because it was so friendly. I didn’t get that at all. And actually in the interview, I agreed with him that we’re against blood guilt. You know, the speech that he’s been giving everywhere. I don’t know where that came from. But if that’s the case, I would like to turn it around and say, you know, maybe you should have had me on your show so that maybe I could teach you a lesson. Because you’ve been wrong or lying about things for 30 years. And I’ve been right for the last 10.
