Nick Fuentes: “How much losing is enough on every issue? … Every issue is a TACO. Trump always chickens out.”

Fuentes: “Chickens out on Greenland, on tariffs, on Russia, on Iran, on the Strait Of Hormuz. Chickens out with the European Union. Chickens out with the East Wing of the White House, on mass deportations, on birthright citizenship, on the border wall.”

NICK FUENTES (HOST): So a year ago, during the blitz of the opening months of the second Trump administration, during the high period of the golden age, in the era of the high golden age, in the first two or three months of the Trump administration, Trump signed an executive order overturning birthright citizenship. It was hailed as a victory. Everybody said, “This is amazing. See? We can just do things. We're wielding executive power. We could just do things. And this is why you needed to trust the plan because now Trump has overturned birthright citizenship and that's the most important thing of all time.” And you go, “Do you really believe that the president of the United States can sign a memorandum?” 

Because that's really what an executive order is. It's a memorandum. It's a memo. The executive branch has no legislative power other than to veto. They can propose a budget. They can veto legislation. They can nominate Supreme Court judges and nominate cabinet officials. But as far as the legislative process is concerned, the legislation originates in Congress. So what an executive order is is it's an MO. Who is it addressed to? The departments and agencies that execute the laws that are passed by Congress. Legislative, executive, judicial. The legislative legislates. The executive executes. The judicial adjudicates. So the president cannot make laws, cannot change laws. What the president can do is sign memorandums that determine the application and enforcement of the laws by the various federal departments and agencies. 

Now, do you believe that Trump has the authority with a memo to deprive, I don't know, 20 million people of their citizenship? However many people it is. How many people have birthright citizenship? How many people have naturalization because they were born on the land? Does anybody believe that Trump can sign a memo and take all that citizenship away for all those people? Obviously, that's not legal. But Trump submitted that last year and everybody counted that like a victory. Everybody said, “Oh, well, we did it, so that's done now. That's on the ledger. That's a good thing that Trump did.” Well, here we are now. The Supreme Court is adjudicating this and they're about to tell us that no, you can't overturn birthright citizenship. Trump is on Truth Social yesterday saying the Supreme Court is terrible because he's anticipating that they're going to strike it down. He's actually going to hear the oral arguments in court tomorrow. 

And so you say at a certain point, how much losing is enough on every issue? Literally every issue, big and small, significant and insignificant. Every issue, it's a TACO. Maybe that's why I'm a specialist. Maybe that's why you need a Mexican to come in and discern these things. Because every issue is a TACO. Trump always chickens out. Chickens out on Greenland, on tariffs, on Russia, on Iran, on the Strait Of Hormuz. Chickens out with the European Union. Chickens out with the East Wing of the White House, on mass deportations, on birthright citizenship, on the border wall. It's literally every single thing.
