JILLIAN MICHAELS (GUEST): Your concern is we have to hold everyone together to get there. My concern is that people who are a bit more moderate are deeply alarmed by Nick Fuentes.
MEGYN KELLY (HOST): He's not part of the coalition.
MICHAELS: And that's what I think needs to be said as often as possible: This is not what it means to be a conservative.
KELLY: No, it isn't. He's here. Oh god. He's powerful. Well done. Well played, sir.
No, he's not. He's definitely not. I mean, he's — look, we've always had fringy, weird people who are popular and because they say really crazy, and in his case, like, genuinely — and trust me, I do not throw this word around because I've been called this word and all the other words. But truly he says very racist stuff. He uses the N-word. You know he uses all the most derogatory slurs for people.
It's like this is — he's a very fringy person. But I also understand the interest in him because he's a compelling messenger when he's not saying those things. And because really what's most interesting about him is why he's popular, like the disaffected young men who are gravitating that way. That's what's most interesting.
MICHAELS: That's exactly what I was fighting about on CNN is that if you continue to demonize these young boys, they are going to lean into that. They are vomiting on your woke ideology and you are creating an entire generation of racists. You are forcing them into tribalism.
KELLY: This is what is so galling, so galling — watching the leftists talk about Nick Fuentes like he's a right-wing problem, like he was created by right wingers, and all of his followers now — those were created by right wingers. That's not at all what happened.
The left has been demonizing young boys, in particular white boys, for 15-plus years now. They get blamed for literally everything. They have to go to school and sit through Black History Month and Women's History Month and Pride Month and all the while they're told that they're to blame for everything and then when it's time to apply for colleges, they're told you're not getting in. You're white. We don't take whites. It's basically what all these schools are saying. They get told they're toxically masculine by the same women they had to celebrate for all the months in high school. They get out and they're disaffected. They're pissed. They're angry. And he's giving a voice to it.
