Good morning. I’m going to talk to you about Nick Fuentes and Tucker Carlson, and specifically Nick Fuentes calling Tucker Carlson an anti-Semite, but let me get to that. All right, I have to work up to it.
So yesterday, October 20th, 2026, I attended a conference in DC—and now please remember all my videos are just my personal opinion, I’m not representing anyone.
So I attended a conference in DC. It was the Google Public Sector Conference, and, you know, they serve like, you know, food and coffee, and they have candy, and they had a photo station. It was really fun.
And this is not an endorsement or anything of Google; I’m just telling you where I was. And so I go to—they had like the soda area, and I’m looking for a diet soda that doesn’t have caffeine, not finding it. And they have in the corner—they’re doing TV interviews. It’s like whatever TV station, you know, local coverage of this particular event, or specialized coverage, I should say. And this thing has studio lighting, the cameras are on, and it looks like they’re doing continuous interviews of different people associated with the conference, and you have the interviewer talking to them. And sort of behind the gated-off part, you have photographers. I guess they’re taking pictures or they’re recording the audio, I don’t know what they’re doing, but it’s the media. And I was sort of studying this out of my interest in media, rhetoric, propaganda, narrative, because I couldn’t hear anything that was being said. And I noticed that the host was, first of all, very skinny—you know, the camera really must add a lot of weight. This was a very, very skinny guy, and I thought to myself afterwards about how, in person, if you’re watching a media interview, it looks very fake and staged. You know that the person who’s being interviewed is portraying themselves in the best light. It’s a sort of staged situation. But when you’re watching it at home, it seems real, it seems authentic.
And I guess we spend a lot of time trying to pick apart which of the remarks are authentic, not authentic, you know, staged, not staged, but overall whatever is put in front of us by the TV screens or a screen has a sense of reality to it. I think this is important when you talk about someone like Tucker Carlson. Tucker Carlson—let me—I don’t know how I can say this strongly enough: he doesn’t know anything. He knows zero about actual national security. 0, 0. And whatever he does know is well-camouflaged behind his persona, his kind of like folksy “let’s go duck hunting” persona or whatever he’s doing. You know, he is an interesting person to watch. He says, I think, sometimes interesting things, things that resonate as true. I know I definitely watched his show and enjoyed his show and was a fan before he sort of turned. He became this kind of weird—I think Nick Fuentes is right—like an obsessive anti-Semite, and now he’s kind of turned and now he has, you know, Jews on the show. But in any case, the guy doesn’t know anything, but a lot of people really, really, really like Tucker, and he is a dangerous person from the perspective of being a know-nothing who actually lies, yet he has political potential. He has that star quality. He is deeply, deeply dangerous for being a self-serving know-nothing who lies, but people like him.
Now, another person who is like that is Candace Owens. Now, Candace Owens, in her commentary on the Cornell 7—it was a fantastic commentary. She said they’re all disgusting people who are badly raised, that being said, blah blah blah. She has the gift. Unfortunately, Candace also squandered the gift. She went down the rabbit hole into obsessive Jew-hate and said crazy stuff, and look where she is now. Not in a good place.
So the question comes about Nick Fuentes, who said, you know, famously about the Holocaust, that the figures were made up, and he talked about the cookies and the oven. Very painful to even think of that.
So Nick Fuentes called out Tucker Carlson for being an anti-Semite. What are we to make of this? If you go back in time, you rewind: Nick Fuentes was friends with Kassie Akiva. By his account—I think she disputes this account—by his account, he lost her as a friend when she thought that he sort of was asking too many questions or was anti-Israel or anti-Semitic. There was something about the way he was behaving that she said, “I don’t want to be friends with you anymore.” That’s how he interpreted it, and he has an issue with the fact that he’s been wrongfully branded an anti-Semite. So he naturally wants to say, “If you’re looking for the anti-Semite, look at Tucker.” That’s the first thing.
The second thing is that Nick Fuentes is deeply patriotic. I know it’s a difficult thing to say that because he’s been pretty anti-Semitic, but I think he’s a patriot. He doesn’t have to like Jews. I also think that his commentary is often very sharp. He’s much—it’s not even the same playing field. He is a brilliant guy. Tucker’s not a brilliant guy. Nick Fuentes is a brilliant guy. Unfortunately, with Nick, I don’t know if it’s self-serving and for his own entertainment, or he goes off. There have been times when he just has demonized Israel, and it doesn’t jibe with the rest of his really, really very sharp commentary.
So Nick has also said, very intelligently, that Tucker Carlson is a two-face. And I don’t know if you recall this clip, but he talked about Tucker being super friendly to him and then turning on him. And I think this was in the context of a media interview. So I think that Nick is motivated by: “Look, I have this guy Tucker’s number. I get him. I know what he’s trying to do.”
