Megyn Kelly: Nick Fuentes “says very controversial things about Jews and Blacks and women” but “says a lot of things that have turned out to be prescient, in like politics”
Kelly: “He's nonideological, really. He's like more of a black-pilled young guy who hates both parties.”

MEGYN KELLY (HOST): So Tucker sat down with Lulu [Garcia-Navarro], who I actually really grew to like over that interview that I did with her at The New York Times. I really think she tries to be fair. She's obviously a liberal and a New York Times journalist, but I like her. And she, I thought, did a very nice job with Tucker.
Was it perfect? No. There were a couple of low moments where she's really, really focused on Nick Fuentes. But overall, I thought she gave him a fair shot. And Tucker handled himself, of course, very, very well and was very deft. And anything, any sort of would be trap she was laying, he saw from a mile away. And it made for a very interesting, robust exchange between the two of them.
There was the obsession with Nick Fuentes, but Tucker, his answer on it was very, very good.
Nick Fuentes, of course, for listening audience is like, they call him far right. I disagree. I don't think he's far right. I don't know what he is. He's nonideological, really. He's like more of a black-pilled young guy who hates both parties, says very controversial things about Jews and Blacks and women, but outside of that says a lot of things that have turned out to be prescient, in like politics.
So he's got a bit of a following because he's got a good track record on his political predictions and insights. But he's incendiary in his discussions about any group of color or vulnerable, marginalized, whatever, group.
So anyway, he's become more and more popular over the past five years with a certain segment of especially young disaffected men. And it's all the left's fault. It's all the left's fault who have told these young men that race is really what matters, it determines everything, it's the number one thing about you that matters. And by the way, if yours happens to be white and you're a male on top of it, fuck you, you suck. So the left has driven people to, you know, a commentator like this. They have only themselves to blame, but the reporters at the New York Times would never acknowledge that.
By the way, he says he's voting for Gavin Newsom. He says that because he doesn't like the fact that JD Vance, if he's the nominee, is married to — I won't repeat the ethnic slur about Usha, but it's an ethnic slur about him being married to a brown Indian woman. And so I don't — this doesn't sound far right to me, but whatever.
