Nick Fuentes, thank you for doing this. Yeah, thank you for having me. I wanted to meet you. I've heard about you. I've heard about you. Thank you. I want to understand what you believe, and I want to give you a chance in a minute to just lay it out, not what you're pivoting against, which are a lot of the same thing. I agree with you on some of the things you're pivoting against for sure, but what do you affirmatively believe? So I just want to stand back and let you explain it. But first, I want to understand how you got to where you are, how you became Nick Fuentes. So here's, this is my understanding of your life arc. And tell me if I'm wrong you show up at Boston University you grew up in a

suburb of Chicago kind of working class suburb of Western suburb and you show up at Boston

University in the fall of 2016 at the height of the well the battle between Trump and Hillary it's like

this kind of pivot point in history.

And you show up with a MAGA hat and you have a Trump hat and you have like basically off the shelf Republican views.

Yes.

And so describe the views that you had then and then describe what happened.

Okay. that you had then and then describe what happened. Yeah, so when I was in high school, I was very political.

I was reading a lot of the libertarian stuff, Austrian school, Chicago school, economic-type literature, because that's what was popular at the time.

If you went online in the mid-early 2010s, that's all the conservative content there really was. That was the most extremely online type of. Liberation economics. Well, yeah,

yeah, basically, kind of the remnant of the Ron Paul Revolution. Yes, the Young Americans for Liberty,

Prager You, which kind of skews a little more, I guess, conservative, but very basic, small government, individualism, libertarian type stuff.

So you watch Prager You videos? Oh, yeah. I was in the Prager Force. What's that? It's a Facebook group for college kids, and they promote the Prager You videos.

Wow.

That's of the college students and high school students.

So you really were a product of the moment.

Absolutely.

And how did you feel about Trump?

Well, initially, I didn't like Trump.

When the primary started in 2015, I considered him to be a statist.

Yeah.

Which sounds so ridiculous now. No, a lot be a statist. Yeah. Which sounds so ridiculous now.
