NICK FUENTES (HOST): We need something more radical and more extreme and more intense than anybody thinks is reasonable right now. That is what needs to happen. ICE has not gone far enough. Trump and the National Guard have not gone far enough.

What’s the answer to Trumpism? We need to build upon Trumpism. We need to deepen it. We need to expand it. We need to make it more radical. We need somebody in 2028 that makes Donald Trump look like a fucking joke. That’s the only solution.

That’s what makes me worried. When I see people crying about a couple of dead left-wing protesters, you are simply not prepared for what has to happen next. There needs to be a lot more ICE. There needs to be a lot more of that sort of thing before we take our country back.

So, we need to start laying the groundwork. We need to start imagining and visualizing what it’s gonna take to save our country. This is not the tragedy. We are going to be the tragedy if we don’t win the battle. Renee Good, Alex Pretti — wait until Western civilization falls. That’s the tragedy. Wait until they raise the flag of BLM. They raise the flag of the Islamic Crescent. They raise the hammer and sickle, the Star of David. Wait until they raise that flag over our defeated civilization when we live among the ruins hunted like animals in South Africa.

You think this is a tragedy? Let me give you a crystal ball. I’ll show you the tragedy. This is not a tragedy. This is nothing. This is a good start. But we need somebody to finish the job. That’s the difference.

…

I’ve been loving what Bannon has been saying. I’m trying — he has been so hardcore. I love it. We need someone pushing that message. It has to be victory. Victory at any cost, victory over everything. Only victory, there is no substitute for a total American victory.

And I don’t care how many left-wing protesters have to be ground under the treads of the tanks to get there. I don’t care how many five-year-olds need to be arrested. That’s the kind of mindset we need to bring to the table. Otherwise, you should just go fuck off to some other country and wait for America to fall. We have got to get serious.
