00:00:01.000 Well, it's hard to follow this, Nick Fuentes, who challenged the Republican censors and the neocons on the Chi-Com tit. 0.62
00:00:10.000 That Chi-Com tit's been called a nick Fuentes. 0.62
00:00:27.000 Thank you. 1.00
00:00:36.000 Thank you.
00:00:36.000 Thank you for a very warm introduction.
00:00:39.000 Am I good on the mic, by the way?
00:00:40.000 I know there were some issues earlier with the distance, we're good?
00:00:44.000 All right.
00:00:45.000 So, well, thank you.
00:00:48.000 Excellent.
00:00:49.000 Well, we're fired up.
00:00:50.000 We are fired up.
00:00:51.000 Are we fired up?
00:00:53.000 We're fired up.
00:00:54.000 We're America first.
00:01:00.000 Yes.
00:01:00.000 Well, it is great to be here.
00:01:02.000 This has been a very fun event.
00:01:04.000 You know, I've been to CPAC for two years now.
00:01:07.000 I went to CPAC in 2018 and 2019.
00:01:11.000 2019, I wasn't supposed to be there.
00:01:13.000 I actually got kicked out.
00:01:14.000 They tried to kick me out, if you remember last year.
00:01:17.000 And I have to say, this is way more fun than CPAC.
00:01:19.000 Does anybody, would anybody rather be at CPAC than here?
00:01:22.000 I don't think so.
00:01:24.000 But first of all, I just want to say thanks to the National File, everybody with the National File for hosting this.
00:01:30.000 And a big thanks, of course, to Infowars and Alex Jones for having us all here.
00:01:37.000 And Alex Jones is.
00:01:38.000 High energy.
00:01:39.000 And I have to say, it was very actually surreal to meet Alex Jones.
00:01:43.000 It's the first time I ever met him.
00:01:45.000 And I actually grew up watching Alex Jones, listening to his podcast.
00:01:49.000 Back when I was a wagee and I was working in a warehouse, I would turn on the Alex Jones show for three hours and it would help me get through the day.
00:01:57.000 So it's sort of like when Kanye West met Jay Z, is how I would compare it, seeing Alex Jones tonight.
00:02:05.000 But it is very exciting.
00:02:07.000 You know, I look at this room here.
00:02:09.000 We've got Alex, we've got Owen, we've We've got Gavin, we've got a lot of big names.
00:02:13.000 And I think to myself, why haven't we done this sooner?
00:02:17.000 Why haven't we gotten all the people that have been banned, all the people that have been censored, blacklisted, and everything?
00:02:24.000 It's about time that we got all of them in one room fighting for the same thing.
00:02:28.000 We're all on the same team here.
00:02:35.000 I also want to say I am grateful that Owen Schreier kind of broke the ice with the receipt situation.
00:02:42.000 Pete got up here earlier with like a packet of typed out like five pages.
00:02:48.000 I haven't written that much since I was in high school.
00:02:50.000 You know, if I wrote out like a little note card, that's how we do it.
00:02:53.000 We do it live, we do it off the cuff.
00:02:56.000 But tonight I wanted to talk a little bit about censorship.
00:02:58.000 This is, after all, the emergency First Amendment summit.
00:03:02.000 We have rallied and gathered here sort of last minute to discuss what's happening.
00:03:07.000 And as you may know, this is something that has touched me very recently because I was banned off of YouTube.
00:03:14.000 On Valentine's Day.
00:03:15.000 Yeah, you may remember this.
00:03:18.000 Still a little bit sore.
00:03:19.000 Still hurts a little bit.
00:03:21.000 I mean, we all knew it was coming for years, but when it finally hits you, I was just talking to Owen and some of the guys from Infowars.
00:03:27.000 They said, you know, you're finally part of the banned club, banned from social media.
00:03:32.000 Oh, great.
00:03:34.000 Awesome.
00:03:35.000 I'm glad to be a part of that, right?
00:03:37.000 But it does show that you're doing something right.
00:03:39.000 So over the years, I've been banned off of many things.
00:03:42.000 I'm now banned off of Stripe.
00:03:44.000 PayPal, Twitch, Streamlabs, YouTube.
00:03:47.000 I think there's maybe a few other things out there.
00:03:50.000 I'm banned from CPAC, so you can rest assured that I have a lot of credentials when it comes to being a dissident.
00:03:56.000 I think it was said earlier, you only get attacked, you only get censored or banned when you're saying the right things and when you're actually a good person.
00:04:05.000 It's actually something interesting.
00:04:07.000 We're, okay, quieting the room there.
00:04:09.000 It's interesting, for a long time, there is maybe a silver lining to being banned from YouTube.
00:04:13.000 For the longest time, people used to tell me, That I was controlled opposition because I wasn't banned from YouTube.
00:04:20.000 They would say, Why are you on YouTube still?
00:04:22.000 Doesn't that show that you're still part of the system?
00:04:24.000 But thankfully, now I can tell you being banned off of YouTube.
00:04:28.000 No, I can't confirm I'm not a part of the system.
00:04:31.000 But I wanted to talk a little bit about free speech and the censorship situation.
00:04:36.000 And I'm thinking about what to say.
00:04:37.000 We've been at this now for what, four, five years.
00:04:41.000 We've been talking about the situation on Twitter, the situation on YouTube, the censorship of conservatives, right wing people.
00:04:48.000 This has been going on for years.
00:04:50.000 And what can be said that hasn't already been said about censorship?
00:04:54.000 That it's wrong, it's against free speech, that we can't just go and create our own Twitter, we can't go and create our own YouTube.
00:05:01.000 There has been so much said about this, but I think a contribution.
00:05:05.000 To the conversation that I can make, which is relevant to what I've been up to lately with the Groyper Wars and Charlie Kirk, is a little bit of a new angle here.
00:05:14.000 Yes, thank you.
00:05:15.000 Can we get a shout out for the Groyper's?
00:05:17.000 The Groyper's who are with us tonight. 1.00
00:05:23.000 The Groyper's are taking over this whole week. 1.00
00:05:25.000 This is not CPAC, it's GPAC. 0.94
00:05:27.000 It is Groyper PAC the whole week.
00:05:30.000 We've got this and AFPAC on Friday.
00:05:32.000 But the angle I wanted to come at it tonight with that in mind is that it's not just the left that is in favor of censorship.
00:05:40.000 We know this.
00:05:41.000 Nobody talks about it.
00:05:42.000 But it's actually the right, too, that is in favor of censorship when you're looking at the establishment, when you're looking at the mainstream.
00:05:50.000 And I like to think about the left back in like the 1960s or the 1970s.
00:05:54.000 We know that at one point in time, the left was in favor of free speech.
00:06:00.000 We remember during the anti war Vietnam protests, we remember that Berkeley was supposedly the birthplace of free speech on the college campus.
00:06:09.000 And now they've turned against free speech.
00:06:12.000 Why is that?
00:06:13.000 We all know why that is.
00:06:14.000 Because free speech is a tool that benefits dissidents.
00:06:19.000 Now that the left is in power, they have no need for free speech.
00:06:23.000 Free speech is the means through which dissidents challenge their institutional power in the establishment.
00:06:29.000 They were outside of power and they supported free speech.
00:06:32.000 Now they are inside in power and they are against free speech.
00:06:36.000 And a similar thing actually has happened on the right.
00:06:40.000 I remember when I was in high school and I got into the conservative movement, I regret to say, That I was a big fan of Ben Shapiro, Prager University.
00:06:51.000 Oh, come on, come on.
00:06:53.000 I was a big fan of all those characters, and they were in favor of free speech.
00:06:58.000 I remember they were fighting on the front lines, fighting against Antifa, fighting against protesters, disruption, and so on.
00:07:05.000 And we've seen something very curious happen, which is that since Trump got elected, and since conservatives have built up their institutional support, Daily Wire, for example, got a little bit of support from billionaires known as the Wilts brothers.
00:07:19.000 And Charlie Kirk got a $10 million check from Foster Freeze.
00:07:23.000 Now that they have money, now that they have, in other words, institutional power, suddenly all these establishment conservatives don't really have a need for free speech.
00:07:32.000 And what exactly do I mean by that?
00:07:34.000 Well, there's a very fine line between the conservatives that we see today, like Alex Jones, like Gavin, like myself, who have been censored, and all the conservatives that you see readily able to use YouTube, Twitter, and they're on Fox News.
00:07:49.000 I've compiled actually some examples, some hypocrisies that you see which are unexplainable if you're only thinking about censorship in the paradigm of it's a left versus right issue.
00:08:00.000 The New York Times on November 23rd, 2017, called Ben Shapiro a controversial gladiator in the battle of ideas.
00:08:12.000 Now, I think gladiators are supposed to be tall.
00:08:17.000 Gladiators are supposed to be large.
00:08:19.000 They're fighters, they are pugnacious.
00:08:22.000 It will meet you in the arena and fight you.
00:08:24.000 Alex Jones is a gladiator.
00:08:26.000 We all know that, right?
00:08:28.000 We are gladiators in the battle of ideas. 0.96
00:08:31.000 Ben Shapiro is a pot-bellied goblin.
00:08:33.000 But, to borrow a phrase, I have to give credit for that one. 0.97
00:08:39.000 But yet, the New York Times, which is, we know, anti-white, globalist, liberal, the epitome of fake news, they heap praise upon Ben Shapiro.
00:08:51.000 And they say that he is a celebrated gladiator in the conservative battle of ideas.
00:08:55.000 Well, why is that?
00:08:56.000 We could go to other examples: The Economist in March 2019.
00:09:01.000 They called Ben Shapiro alt right.
00:09:03.000 They ran a headline, you may remember this, and they said that Ben Shapiro is this alt right provocateur.
00:09:09.000 And Ben Shapiro went after them and he went on Twitter and put them on blast and said, How dare you?
00:09:14.000 Don't you know that I'm Jewish?
00:09:16.000 Ask Ben.
00:09:17.000 We all know.
00:09:19.000 We all know.
00:09:21.000 Don't you know that as a Jewish man, I'm the number one target of attacks by the alt right?
00:09:26.000 But what did The Economist do?
00:09:28.000 The Economist issued a retraction, they changed the headline.
00:09:32.000 And they put out a groveling apology.
00:09:34.000 I'm sorry, Mr. Shapiro.
00:09:35.000 We didn't mean to call you alt right.
00:09:37.000 Does this happen with anybody in this room?
00:09:40.000 When they falsely call us, it doesn't happen.
00:09:43.000 When they falsely call us white nationalist, fascist, neo Nazi, and we get on Twitter and say, well, I'd like to fact check that.
00:09:50.000 You know, we've never said anything like that.
00:09:52.000 Does Jared Holt, Will Sommers, all these characters, did they put up a groveling apology?
00:09:58.000 We're so sorry, Mr. Fuentes.
00:09:59.000 We're so sorry, Mr. Jones.
00:10:01.000 We retract the headline, you're just a good conservative.
00:10:04.000 It never happens.
00:10:05.000 There are many other examples of this.
00:10:07.000 CPAC is a perfect example.
00:10:09.000 CPAC last year was sponsored by Google.
00:10:14.000 Shouldn't that be a red flag to anybody?
00:10:18.000 All these people that get on the stage and talk about the censorship of conservatives on the college campus, the censorship of conservatives on YouTube, even Breitbart, you know, we all heard the clip after the 2016 election when the Google employees said, We're never going to let a Donald Trump election happen again.
00:10:35.000 Well, then, why is Google sponsoring CPAC, the event where Trump speaks at?
00:10:40.000 Why were the Heritage Foundation, the American Enterprise Institute, and the Cato Institute present at a Google lobbying conference last month?
00:10:51.000 I also think about even this administration.
00:10:53.000 There's another grand irony.
00:10:55.000 Last year, there was a social media summit at the White House, you may remember.
00:11:00.000 I think some of the people here might have been in attendance.
00:11:03.000 And Donald Trump invited all the influencers who have been censored to the Rose Garden.
00:11:07.000 To share their stories and to show support for free speech, but there was actually one notable absence at that conference.
00:11:14.000 Somebody who was invited, but then disinvited.
00:11:17.000 You may remember this.
00:11:18.000 Ben Garrison.
00:11:19.000 Ben Garrison, who is a great cartoonist, yes?
00:11:25.000 Ben Garrison, who has been censored, was invited to the Social Media Censorship Summit where he was apparently supposed to fight against the censorship that he's been a victim of, but he was disinvited.
00:11:38.000 And we all know the reason why.
00:11:40.000 A person by the name of Sheldon Adelson, billionaire funder of the Trump campaign, picked up the red phone to the White House and he said, I don't like the way Sheldon Adelson talks about George Soros.
00:11:53.000 I don't like, or rather, Ben Garrison.
00:11:55.000 I don't like the way Ben Garrison talks about George Soros.
00:11:58.000 I don't like the way that he talks about all these billionaires.
00:12:01.000 It comes across as hateful, anti Semitic, something like that.
00:12:04.000 So they promptly disinvited Ben Garrison from the social media summit.
00:12:08.000 And what do we see in every single one of these examples?
00:12:10.000 Whether it's the New York Times, Praising Ben Shapiro, the Atlantic retracting their headline and issuing apologies, the White House censoring somebody on their social media censorship.
00:12:22.000 What do we see when Google is sponsoring CPAC and the Heritage and AEI and Cato are at the Google conference?
00:12:28.000 It's very simple.
00:12:29.000 It's the same thing that happened to the left.
00:12:32.000 All these right wing people that say they're against censorship, they're in favor of free speech, that worked 10 years ago when they didn't have this institutional power.
00:12:40.000 But now that they've got the money and they've got the think tanks and they've got the NGOs and all that institutional power on their side, free speech is no longer convenient for them.
00:12:51.000 Now that they are in positions of power, They do not like the free speech that we are offering up as true conservatives.
00:12:59.000 And Nick, you're knocking it out of the park here.
00:13:02.000 We want you to continue.
00:13:04.000 But I totally agree with you that I don't care what somebody says.
00:13:07.000 They have a right to free speech.
00:13:09.000 And what the establishment really fears is power.
00:13:15.000 They fear human action that has that electric spark.
00:13:19.000 You've got that.
00:13:20.000 And they're scared of you.
00:13:22.000 And no matter what they do, they can't suppress you. 1.00
00:13:26.000 Because I get on air and I talk about America and freedom and fighting radical Islam and I see the headlines, Nazi Alex Jones, because that's all the left's got is to say somebody trying to promote freedom is a Nazi when the Nazis are a bunch of losers 70-something years ago got their ass kicked. 0.99
00:13:49.000 And so they just keep saying, though, you're a Nazi, you're a Nazi, you're a Nazi. 0.99
00:13:53.000 I'm like, no, I'm an American, I'm a capitalist, I'm a freedom lover, and I'm not going to bow down to you.
00:14:00.000 And so I think that's why we can talk about it all day, Nick Fuentes, how they do this, but no one buys it anymore.
00:14:08.000 Trump was called an anti-Semite.
00:14:11.000 So is Senator Cruz by the head of the ADL. 0.56
00:14:14.000 Even though they're pro-Israel, I'm not against Israel, they want to use that as a tool of control.
00:14:20.000 I don't think it has power.
00:14:22.000 And I think you should tell the leftists that their race-baiting has no more power.
00:14:28.000 That's right.
00:14:32.000 So true, so true.
00:14:37.000 And that's exactly right.
00:14:38.000 As Alex said, it is about control.
00:14:41.000 At the end of the day, now that these establishment conservatives are in power, they are after control.
00:14:46.000 Control of the conversation.
00:14:48.000 And I actually think it's relevant to bring back CPAC a little bit.
00:14:51.000 This is the reason we're all gathered here, ostensibly for the mass migration of conservatives to D.C. for CPAC.
00:14:59.000 And what is the theme of CPAC this year?
00:15:01.000 Did anybody get a chance to look at it?
00:15:03.000 Do you know what they're calling this year's CPAC conference?
00:15:07.000 That's right.
00:15:08.000 The theme this year, it's not a parody, not a joke.
00:15:12.000 The theme for them this year is America versus socialism.
00:15:16.000 And to me, that says it all.
00:15:19.000 What they want us to do for the next 50 years is to relitigate the Cold War and fight this argument America versus socialism.
00:15:28.000 They want control of the dialectic, of the conversation between the two poles the right as defined by hamburgers, capitalism, and on the other side, socialism.
00:15:39.000 I guess I'll wrap it up here.
00:15:40.000 No, don't wrap it up.
00:15:42.000 I just want to say this.
00:15:46.000 This is a good guy right here.
00:15:47.000 He's not a bad guy.
00:15:49.000 They always say he's so short, he just calls me.
00:15:52.000 Thank you.
00:15:52.000 I'm like, my guy.
00:15:53.000 No, I don't have a Napoleonic complex.
00:16:00.000 But seriously, Nick Fuentes says a lot of things that people agree with.
00:16:05.000 He's popular.
00:16:06.000 So the system wants to ban him like a race car driver that keeps winning races.
00:16:11.000 That's all.
00:16:12.000 This guy's not a racist.
00:16:14.000 He doesn't hate black people or white people or gay people or anybody.
00:16:17.000 He just wants to have his own say.
00:16:20.000 And you know what?
00:16:21.000 I'm a confident man.
00:16:23.000 I say, hey, buddy.
00:16:26.000 I say in the market ideas, you get to have a run at it.
00:16:29.000 That makes us all stronger.
00:16:31.000 But they call him a white supremacist all over the news. 0.94
00:16:34.000 And then the ADL and Southern Property Law Center fund white supremacist compounds with terrorists, with bombs.
00:16:42.000 I've studied it. 0.99
00:16:43.000 Ready to blow up black communities and create war, but they can't ever find white people to join. 1.00
00:16:48.000 That's the good news. 1.00
00:16:50.000 The truth is, humanity loves humanity.
00:16:53.000 We want to come together.
00:16:55.000 We want to be strong.
00:16:56.000 We want to build a human future.
00:16:58.000 And people that try to silence speech are the enemy.
00:17:04.000 Because I'm smart enough, I'm smart enough to hear what somebody said.
00:17:12.000 When somebody tells me I'm not supposed to hear what somebody said, that's when I start getting suspicious.
00:17:18.000 So, Nick, you're a great speaker.
00:17:20.000 Five more minutes. 0.99
00:17:21.000 Give them hell. 0.98
00:17:22.000 Got the next speaker coming up. 0.97
00:17:23.000 All right.
00:17:23.000 Thanks.
00:17:26.000 So true.
00:17:27.000 It's true. 0.78
00:17:27.000 I'm like the race car driver of the Groyper War. 0.78
00:17:30.000 We keep winning battles. 0.98
00:17:31.000 It's absolutely right.
00:17:33.000 But yeah, so to wrap it up a little bit, to get back on this America versus socialism thing, it is about control of the conversation.
00:17:41.000 Too often, we talk about free speech for the sake of free speech itself.
00:17:46.000 You know, we're in favor of free speech.
00:17:48.000 Well, what do you want to say?
00:17:49.000 Doesn't matter.
00:17:50.000 We just want the open marketplace.
00:17:53.000 Free speech matters insofar as we are using it.
00:17:58.000 To express ideas that challenge the system.
00:18:01.000 That is the crux of free speech.
00:18:03.000 You see, a lot of people out there that will say, free speech, free speech.
00:18:07.000 But then when it comes to the ideas that actually challenge the status quo, well, then suddenly they don't want to hear it.
00:18:12.000 Suddenly that's, well, that's outside.
00:18:14.000 We can all agree that's actually not polite.
00:18:17.000 That's actually not civil enough.
00:18:19.000 And so going back to CPAC, it is about controlling that conversation.
00:18:23.000 They do not want free speech to allow other ideas, particularly in the right wing space, to enter in and challenge the definition of conservatism.
00:18:31.000 Why is it, as an example, that CPAC claims that the theme for this year is America versus socialism?
00:18:39.000 It is because targeting socialism and the Trump administration railing against Venezuela and socialism and socialism sucks is because this is a pretext to defend the interests of the capitalist class, of the firm holders, the elites, the billionaires.
00:18:57.000 We are talking about the Koch brothers.
00:18:58.000 We are talking about Sheldon Adelson.
00:19:00.000 We are talking about billionaires that are responsible.
00:19:03.000 For funding the open borders lobby.
00:19:06.000 We are talking about.
00:19:08.000 That's exactly right.
00:19:09.000 Exactly right.
00:19:10.000 We are talking about huge titans of industry who are working against the interests of the American people.
00:19:16.000 Why do they say they're against socialism?
00:19:18.000 Because they are funded by these huge billionaires and elites.
00:19:21.000 And when they say they're against socialism, that means open borders for immigration, that means free trade, that means all kinds of loopholes and other things for the big people, for the billionaires, for the people that are making their money.
00:19:35.000 Off of investments rather than income.
00:19:37.000 That is why they choose to define it in that way.
00:19:40.000 They do not want real conservatives to go into CPAC and make it about America first.
00:19:45.000 They don't want to make it about make America great again and halt the mass immigration, not just the illegal immigration, but the legal immigration.
00:19:52.000 And they don't want us to do that because, again, the people that are putting up the money for their thing, putting up the money for their conference, are benefiting from their open borders agenda.
00:20:01.000 So, in conclusion, was that five?
00:20:05.000 No, but it's true.
00:20:06.000 It's not that we're against the third world populations. 1.00
00:20:09.000 It's they're being weaponized against us. 1.00
00:20:12.000 So he's gone like three times longer.
00:20:15.000 So the internet's going to say, I censored Nick Fuentes.
00:20:17.000 I did not.
00:20:18.000 I actually extended him.
00:20:20.000 They're going to kick us out of here in like 30 minutes.
00:20:22.000 We've got like five more speakers.
00:20:24.000 We just got rid of the whole question and answer conference.
00:20:27.000 But it's true.
00:20:28.000 It's not that anybody's bad.
00:20:30.000 It's that the globalists are weaponizing them.
00:20:33.000 And you're right.
00:20:35.000 Ben Shapiro and all these people are pushed by the system.
00:20:39.000 We're banned by the system.
00:20:41.000 What does that tell you?
00:20:44.000 It's like a tag team.
00:20:45.000 We tag them in.
00:20:46.000 I'm back in.
00:20:49.000 That's exactly right.
00:20:50.000 It tells you about the system that Ben Shapiro is a part of the system and we are not.
00:20:56.000 That is why he is celebrated and we are on the outside.
00:20:59.000 He is saying things that are benefiting the elite and not the people and we are the reverse.
00:21:03.000 And so, in conclusion, you said 30 minutes.
00:21:06.000 I didn't realize we were so pressed here.
00:21:09.000 In conclusion, I'm probably going over, but I wanted to make one last important point to keep in mind for everybody.
00:21:15.000 So, I want to say one last thing thesis statement.
00:21:19.000 We as conservatives who are in favor of America first, whatever our differences, We will either hang together or we will most surely hang separately.
00:21:29.000 That's the most important thing.
00:21:31.000 Thank you.
00:21:32.000 And now, and now we have Gavin McGinnis.
00:21:38.000 Gavin McGinnis, founder of Vice, great patriot, major censor.
00:21:43.000 Anyone involved in this?
00:21:45.000 Yay, Nick.
00:21:46.000 Like this.
