Patrick Bet-David Co-Host Says Neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes ‘Is On Fire Right Now’
Patrick Bet-David and his co-hosts discussed the ongoing battle between MAGA influencers Nick Fuentes, Candace Owens, and Tucker Carlson on the latest episode of the popular PBD Podcast on Wednesday. Fuentes, in recent days, has had a kind of media resurgence with his high-profile feuds and wild takes. He has long been considered one of the most controversial far-right voices over his explicit anti-Semitism and violent rhetoric – including calling for non-Christians to be executed.
“So I think there’s something going on on the Republican conservative MAGA America First debate on X that a lot of younger people are following. And there was a little bit of a– and also for the people that was extremely cool to be anti-Israel in the weirdest way,” Bet-David began, while discussing the topic.
“They are right now more… look, if I have to choose between Israel and Islam and Muslim and what they’re doing to all these other places, I hate to say this. If it’s between the two, I’m going Israel over that,” Bet-David continued, bucking what he sees as a growing anti-Israel trend, which Fuentes has long been a part.
“And listen, all these guys, I’ve had them on. I’m in communication with many of these guys. I talk to most of them here, not all of them, most of them here. And I’ll host Dave Smith. We’ve hosted Candace many times on election night. We’ve hosted, you know, you name them, many of these, and who knows, maybe in the future we’ll have Nick on as well to have a conversation with them. But it’s been a very interesting, specifically Vinny, I would say it’s been a very interesting last three weeks,” Bet-David concluded.
“And Nick said it himself from his mouth, he’s on a generational run. And right now, I don’t care what anybody says, he is freaking on fire,” replied co-host Vincent Oshana.
“You believe in it, though, I get a feeling that you believe in it,” Bet-David hit back.
“You know what it is? Because, okay, name the person that can’t even be on YouTube, he can’t be on YouTube because of the stuff that he says, they froze his bank account. I guess he had like $500,000 in the account,” Oshana replied, referring to Fuentes’s deplatforming over his rhetoric.
The panel continued discussing Fuentes and later played a clip from his show. Fuentes has historically called for limiting the rights of women, minorities, and the LGBTQ community, saying in 2022, “We need to take control of the media or take control of the government and force the people to believe what we believe.”
