Nick Fuentes vs Dan Bilzerian: Fed Jacketing & Epstein Honeypot Drama Explodes

that my coverage of him has changed. I'm saying that his behavior has begun to concern me a bit when it comes to the candidates that he endorses or the candidates that he goes against, seeing as he doesn't seem to really endorse any candidates at this point unless they're Democrats.

nobody even cares. But you start to say, I'm off the Republican plantation, I'm voting Democrat, and everybody loses their minds. We are going to vote Democrat in the mid terms. We are going to vote for Amy Acton in Ohio.

Vivic was almost certainly going to win that. But it was interesting that Nick Fuentes chose not to back casey push and I was mystified by it. Now that being said, I'm going to do something that a lot of Knick's dissenters won't do. I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt. The reason I feel this way is because I've had opportunities to interview, for instance, James Fishback,

who's running to be the governor of Florida. I also had the opportunity, in fact, I did interview Mark Lynch, who's going up against Lindsay Graham to be Senator in South Carolina. Now I had audio issues with that recording.

My levels were totally screwed up, so I had I was going to have to redo the interview, and I opted not to because the nature of the interview it just made me feel as if this guy, while he is obviously better than Lindsay Graham, it was just not a candidate that I was prepared to get behind.

Fishback well. He gives good answers at times, and I appreciate his courageous willingness to touch third rail political topics. He also gives me the vibe of being a shape shifter to a certain extent that I don't actually know

what his principles are. He is obviously using clickbait marketing and campaign attempts when it comes to, you know, increasing taxes against OnlyFans girls, and then talking about, oh, well, I'm not going to just tax them, I'm going to tax this, and I'm gonna text that, and I'm gonna use taxes to do this and that, and it's like

I'm a libertarian like I'm not. Just because I don't like certain idle ills doesn't mean that I want you to become a right wing Democrat, which is just using taxation to try and sculpt the culture of the state of Florida. Moreover, James Fishbeck's rhetoric reminds me a bit of Obama, where it's very it's very polished, it comes across very good. If you're not astute political analyst, that sounds like I'm petting myself on the back too much. That's not what I mean. What I mean is sometimes

you just get a bad vibe. And maybe that's how Nick felt about Casey Putsch. Maybe, and I share Nick Fointe's hesitation when it comes to backing Dan Bilsarian too, even though I think that Randy Fine is probably the worst congressional representative we have on the GOP side of the aisle, and I would love to see him gone, And ultimately I hope that Dan Bilzarian defeats him, or for that matter, Aaron Day, the other guy who's running against Randy Fine. I hope Randy Fine loses, is what

I'm saying. That being said, I don't actually know what Dan Bilzarian believes in. I know that Dan Bilzerian is very aggressively against our relationship to Israel. I can appreciate and respect that, But beyond that, I don't actually know that we ideologically align. But this is where things get interesting. Dan Bilzerian and Nick Flints are in a fed jacketing off. Okay, that sounds a little bit weird. They're both fed jacketing one another. In other words, they're both calling each other

federal informants or agents for that matter. And we need to dig into this because this is a very important topic.

He's definitely an intelligent guy. My criticism of him would be that I think it's so obvious what the problem is, and he went on a bunch of big play platforms and didn't really use any of them to talk about the fucking Jewish supremacy problem that we all know about and maybe that's because he's talked about it so much that he's kind of bored of it. So I think a part of doing too much content is that you

get bored talking about the real issues. So now we got to, like, you know, talk about why Epstein was a good guy and Stalin was good and like some crazy shit that I just obviously really disagree with, and it was just like a kind of like a steady stream of bad takes that he didn't understand.

adult life affect my entire life. I would like to separate the two entities to deal with our own problems for once. And I agree with Nick Fuint's and Dan Bilzerian and Sneako and many others when it comes to that topic. I think, tactically we have our differences of opinion, and maybe that's all they this is. Maybe Dandlzarian and Nick Fuint does simply have tactical disagreements. Maybe, but it escalated to a point where you can't really assume that's all it is.

this was the hold Tucker Carlson moo. He brought me on the show, wrapped his arms around me and said, hey, look, I'm gonna listen to this kid who's got all these problems. And ever since we did the interview, he goes on every other show and says I tried to talk him in off the ledge and get him to stop being an anti semite. He hates women because he's afraid of women.

that's not what I'm doing. I believe that Nick is directionally correct that we need to have a nation, a government that actually represents and concerns itself with the people that are born here Americans, and I think we can all agree on that, and then if we have differences of opinion beyond that, well then okay, that's fair. I also agree with him that our relationship to Israel is

a massive detriment and it needs to end. I think Nick's problem has been that he alienates and demonizes basically anybody who doesn't agree with every single thing he says. For instance, I think it's absolutely insane to vote for Amy Acton in Ohio. And if he was prepared to do that, if he was prepared to use the nuclear option and vote for a Democrat in Ohio instead of a Aake Ramaswami, why would you not back up Casey

push right? If you actually had an option that you thought was viable or at least preferable, wouldn't you back him? But you didn't do that, So you hate fa Vek. You're willing to pull the nuclear option and vote for the Democrat, but you also hate the America first guy, white dude born in Ohio, and you're like, don't want

him either. I'm going to go with the Jewish Democrat, lady, like, I think it's fair for all of us to be a little bit surprised by that, right, And this is a trend that I've seen played out over and over again. Unfortunately with many of my friends like Dave Smith or Ian Carroll. I've also saw it, even though I'm not friends with him, but with Tucker Carlson. Tucker Carlson had him on his show, and then it seemed almost immediately afterwards that Nick started to smear Tucker. He started to say,

I don't trust him. I think he's he's duplicitous, he's you know, he's a fed or whatever. And then Tucker, you know, naturally, in my opinion, naturally started to pivot against Nick two when he was questioned about him in public, and he's like, well, screw this kid, he's gonna smere me. I'm not gonna try and defend him either. So they

both started to throw each other under the bus. But I felt as if the first shots, as is often the case in these instances were fired by Nick himself, only to then in hindsight be looked back on as if you know, this was all his opponent's fault, Dave Smith's fault, and Ian Carroll's fault, and Tucker Carls. It's never it's never Nick, It's never something he did. I just wanted to make the point that Nick is right.

He is right about this. If if no matter how bad the GOP candidate is, you are assured that you are going to vote GOP, You're gonna vote red until you're dead. As people say, it's the same thing as blue, no matter who I mean. It's if you are a partisan hack who is just going to vote for your preferred party no matter how bad they are, well, then you are not a viable consideration when it comes to electoral politics. You are a given. You are already a

box that has been checked. The only way you can actually have demands that might get met is to not be a guaranteed vote. So now I'm not prepared to vote for Amy Acton in Ohio, but I do understand the tactical argument that you cannot always vote for the GOP no matter who they force feed you. You do have to have a red line where you say, I'm not going to back this guy or gal because I

think that they are ultimately a plant or whatever. And I would take Nick a lot more seriously on taking that stand if it weren't for the fact that every time basically that I've seen, at least every time there is, in my opinion, a good America First option, he seems to either go against them, or have nothing to say about them, or certainly is not a loud proponent or backer. My example, obviously, as you guys would expect, would be

Thomas Massey. I think Thomas Massey is in a fight for his life in the great State of Kentucky, up against a total empty suit, and the Adelsins, along with a few of the other Epstein clients, are throwing twenty five million dollars to try and oust him in the GOP primary, and yet Nick doesn't deign it necessary to lift a finger to assist Thomas Massey. Thomas Massey, who in my estimation, is as America First as you have in Congress currently, and yet he's still not good enough

for Nick. So my question to you, Nick, who, by the way, I have invited to be on the show before. He has never accepted, and that's fine, that's his prerogative. But I just wanted to be on the record that I have tried to have this conversation with him. He didn't want to have it or he didn't have the time, and that's totally his prerogative. But I think it's fair for us to ask at some point, who is good enough? Who are you actually looking for? You hate Vivek Okay, fine,

why not Casey make it explicit. I know you don't like the Adelsins, so why would you not get behind the guy who they're trying to oust in Thomas Massey. I know you don't like Randy Fine, so not down bils Arian either. Okay, how about Aaron Day. I haven't heard you mention him. Joe Kent came out earlier this year and blew the whistle on our relationship to Israel, and it came to the lead up and the actual starting of the war in Iran. He resigned over it.

You have already decided, because I guess he disavowed you when he was running for Congress that he is an enemy combatant too, So you don't like him. I'm just saying, like everybody that's got a shot at winning a position of power within the federal government that seems to at least be seventy to eighty percent aligned with you, it's still not good enough. And I'm like, I'm just waiting to hear, Okay, whom will you actually back, because it

doesn't seem as if it's anybody other than yourself. So over the weekend this boils completely out of control, and you have Nick funt as well. I should say this did begin with Dan Bilzarian saying that he thinks that Nick funt Is is a fed. Basically, the reason he's coming to that conclusion is the same line of logic that

I'm using. That it doesn't seem as if there's ever candidate that Nick really gets behind, especially in the America first one, and oftentimes he goes against them loudly, proudly. And Nick didn't take that kindly, nor should he. For the record, if Nick is not a federal agent or informant, then I would expect him to be very very angry about the accusation coming from Dan Bilzerian, which, by the way, you'll note I have not made that accusation, nor do

I intend to. In this episode, but Nick Fuente's responds on May eighth, saying, the first time I met Dandilzerian at his house, he had us put our phones in another room, then asked me how difficult it would be to assassinate Israeli government ministers. Then he invited me to Dubai and Qatar, which I declined. On his way there, he was ambushed by the FBI. So let's pause there and see if this claim is valid. Does Dandlsarian actually

take cell phones from house guests? That phone thing, Dan happened. I don't know why you did it.

That if you're going to have people over your house, especially to meet them for the first time, and you only know them because of their Internet persona, it would be wise to make sure that they can't record what you have to say. That maybe they signed an NBA so that they can't, you know, rat you out to

the New York Times or something crazy like that. So, while I agree it's not the most normal thing in the world to do, it's also understandable for someone in Bilsarian's position this kind of I don't know if he's a billionaire, but one hundred millionaire playboy who's undoubtedly kind of under the watchful eye of the intelligence agencies, I think would be fair to say. Lucas Gage responds to Nick Foint to his post, and he says, Holy fuck, Nick, I swear to god he did the same thing to me.

He walked me and Jake up to that room with the batting cage. We put our phones on the couch and went up to that seclude room with the big TVs. He asked me about where Ben Shapiro lived and how he could be taken out. Nick responds, this is getting really weird, man. I wonder if anyone else has had similar experience. Seems like his move was to invite all of the prominent JQ influencers to his place in twenty four to twenty five. Maybe the whole thing was like

an Epstein style honeypot. I just thought he was really dumb. Lucasen response, I've only told one person about this and they can confirm. Now it's important to understand the Lucas Gage role in this. Lucas Gage was kind of a Nick point Dizzy and Dan Bilzarian level figure in the JQ alt right, whatever you want to call it. And he has come out over the past week basically disavowing all of his opinions when it comes to Jewish people and Jewish influence and all that. So he has made

the big pivot. But Nick is essentially teaming up with Lucas Gage to smear Dan Bilzarian, who's going up against one of the most ardent Zionist congressional members in Randy Fine. Just it's interesting, Bedfellows, is it not? And it gets more interesting in that Tim Poole seems to be backing up Nick Fuentes over Bilzarian as well, largely on.

asset himself. And I just think it's absolutely unbelievable that Tim is backing up Nick Flines on those accusations against Tucker Carlson and his evidence being that Tucker Carlson meets in private with foreign heads of state when Tim Poole very famously met with bb Net and Yahoo I think about a year ago now in private with Chathamhouse rules where you're not allowed to report on the actual things

that were discussed at that meeting. And I'm like, Tim, really, like, are you saying I mean, what he's saying there is that his own actions put him in the category of being a government asset of some variety. So if he actually believes that about Tucker, why is it applicable to Tucker but not to him? I don't understand. And what's even weirder about the accusations from Tim is that obviously Tucker Crawlson is not just a podcaster. He was the number one nightly news guy on Cable TV for like

a decade, so he is big time. He's much bigger than podcasting. Even if he is a podcaster at this point, but he is also the most successful right wing political commentator and podcaster that exists today. So the fact that he is going around and doing things that maybe Barbara Walters would have done on twenty twenty when I was

growing up, Yeah, that makes sense. It makes sense that you're going to have a guy like Tucker Cralson that has the clout, the gravitas to actually get a meeting with a foreign head of state as he did with Putin and other foreign dignitaries like that is valuable journalism. So I don't view that as evidence that Nick Foint is this correct and that Tucker Carlson is some sort of government asset. That doesn't mean that he's wrong, just

means that that's not proof of that. So I found it absolutely jaw dropping that Tim would say that, yeah, he's not just a journalist, that makes him a government agent of some variety. And to be honest, what got my hackles up was a few days prior to that, when Stephen Crowder weighed in.

mass shootings or the Charlie Kirk assassination. There are many instances where he is fed information in the twenty four hours after a major event that makes me know that he's got inside sources that it makes me doubt his full independence. I'll put it like that. So I find it interesting that Crowder would use Nick Fuentes as kind of a wedge issue to try and attack to Carlson,

while simultaneously Nick is actively attacking Dan Bilzarian. It just seems as if there's a lot of and maybe it's all just organic power struggles, as people want to be the biggest right wing voice and this is how they get notoriety and clicks and listeners and viewers. Maybe that's all it is. Maybe, but I think it's fair to wonder aloud if it might be something bigger than that.

And just to give you an example, here's Alex Jones talking to Nick Wantz as well as Owen Sroyer, who I just did a four on four debate with him, and Kevin Mcinness and Josie and a bunch of other people, and it's an absolute barn burner. Will be out in a couple weeks I can't wait for you guys to see it. But anyways, I got to meet Owen, great dude. Anyways, let's hear what Alex had to say.

the fledgling young movement at the time. I've already covered this extensively on my show, but I think a similar dynamic happen at J six. You had hundreds of plain clothes Capitol police that were at that event, iron you had Alex Jones and Nick Fuentes and Owen Troyer, I think owing to we're all present on J six, and in fact, Nick very famously grabs the bullhorn and he says, you go into the Capitol, we're taking it, taking it over for the people or whatever.

or whatever. That you could suspect that someone in our world, and probably someone's plural, are assets, they're agents, their informants, whatever. So when you have Dan Bilzarian making that accusation against Nick Wentes, and Nick Fuentt is returning fire with that same accusation, particularly given that Nick has also made that acquisition against Tucker Carlson and others, you start to wonder, well, who whom of you? Which it's not none of you

that I'm pretty confident of. I just don't know who.

who knows who knows what she's actually saying. But I do find it fascinating that you have so many of these figures that all seem to be coming together around flent Dez and going against Bilsarian. It's just an interesting dynamic. But at the same time, there's real reason to question Bilsarian.

do something back in return. So it's not a normal relationship. It's not like this guy went to the fucking federal agency. It's not like he's fully employed. But he absolutely could be a fucking asset, and if he is, he would be doing exactly what he's doing.

was they misclipped it. They clipped it really hard to make it sound as bad as possible for Bilsarian, But my research says that what he was actually saying was when he said fuck America first, it's America only. So that was the clarifying point he was trying to make, not to say that he actually against America first. So I think a lot of this is just internescing battles, This is just ego stuff. But it is important to understand that this is going to be a dynamic that

we're going to deal with moving forward forever. And there are real members of the opposition that are really funneling major money to create this discord. So everybody needs to kind of put down the weapons and start to think a little bit more critically.

that do serve the narrative. We also create content for non Jewish influencers that collaborate with us.

This is a dynamic that isn't going away. What she's describing there is digital assets, which I would guess means bot networks, and she explicitly says that they create content for non Jewish content creators to put out, which means that they are feeding talking points to some of the people that you probably listen to and respect, and you don't even know that that's happening. So you need to be aware that this is serious, that this is real,

that this is a real thing. That doesn't mean that Dandel's Aerian, Ornate Flentes or Stephen Crowder or Tucker Carlson or anybody else is necessarily a federal informant or agent or asset or whatever else, but it does mean that there are efforts to create that dynamic.

because Trump wasn't empower yet. And I've already shown you the clips in prior episodes of bebing Thattna, who's sitting down with American influencer brigades, dozens of them, just talking about how you're the most important weapon in our fifth front of the war, eighth front of the war, whatever it was, and he's just saying, like this is where the next frontiers of propaganda fights that we no longer are listening to corporate news, so there is now another

battlefield that they have to prevail in.

Look at this for Israel minus forty seven points. That's a forty four point shift away from Israel on the net favorability amongst young men.

declined so precipitously. But I also think it's all the more reason to believe that there are additional assets or financial mechanisms that are being deployed to try and control that narrative, to try and get in there, to push both censorship but also bought networks, so compromising political commentators, figures that become very popular in this arena, in this lane, that then get used to that end because they have already built up credibility within the dissident network, and then

all of a sudden they start to push a different message, and it's like, well, why is that happening. Is that just an organic shift or were they compromised in some fashion.

We found hundreds of accounts that continue to push out his videos, So whereas his account isn't there, we found accounts with well over a million followers pushing out his groyper videos on a daily basis. So continues to populate and propagate his poison on Instagram despite this sort of cosmetic kind of policy that they've taken. They're not even forcing their own policy. They get overall one hundred accounts with millions of followers pushing out Nick Flentte's garbage every single death.

the establishment, or at least he had been. I think it's interesting that he is. He is pushing the support of Democrats, which I think the establishment will love. Why would they not? So the real question here with his backing of amyac And as the governor of Ohio, is is Nick Fuent is doing that because he is a brilliant five D level chess tactician and technician when it comes to politics. It's possible, and I mean that sincerely.

Maybe he thinks that if he demonstrates that he can get amy Acton to prevail over Vivek Ramaswami, that he will have additional political clout and capital that he can wield in the twenty twenty eight presidential election. Maybe that's the angle that he's playing at. But I'll tell you, I don't look so much at what people say as much as what they do. And to me, I would take funt As a lot more seriously if he was

using his limited political capital as we all have. He's got much more than I do, but I respect anyone who wants to use it intelligently. That's what I'm doing when I'm not backing up Fishback or Lynch or these others, is like I'm going to only put my finger on the scale on things that I think matter tremendously and to me, the most obvious and existential campaign or race that we have this year is Thomas Massey in Kentucky, and if he prevails, then I will I will take

my little victory lap. Ultimately, it doesn't save the country or anything, but at least is a step in the right direction. What I find fascinating about Funt is that it doesn't seem to be He doesn't seem to be interested in deploying any of that political capital to actually get a win for his movement. And by that I mean, is it a win to see Amy Acton become the governor of Like No, what he's saying is it's a win to see vivek lose. Okay, sure, sometimes it is

a win to see your opposition lose. If that's your worldview, I can respect that. But when do you intend to deploy that political that limited political capital on an actual win, an actual step in the right direction. I think that Thomas Massey is clearly that. I think it's It could easily be argued that Casey Putsch or Dan Bilzerian or a handful of others Mark Lynch could all be the same thing. I haven't seen Nick Funt is back any

of those options. So I think it's fair and I hope that he'll take this in the good spirited, open minded way that I'm conveying it. Tell me what the plan is. Lay it out a little bit more explicitly, because if the plan is to just destroy the GOP by voting for the Democrats and then you expect to what in twenty twenty eight, if you win these races by putting Democrats into the power in twenty twenty six, do you expect the pendulum to swing more aggressively towards

the America First side in twenty twenty eight? Okay, maybe, but I don't. I don't see how that A leads to B to C. Like I don't see it, and I think a lot of your supporters are probably feeling similarly. So if there is a tactical way that that is a net benefit that Amy Act and being the governor of Ohio over a casey push or of a Ramaswami lay it out, I'm all ears And until you do that, I would, I would hope, or I would encourage not

just nick literally everybody. I'm imploring everybody to stop calling everybody a federal agent or asset unless you actually have proof of that.

But this is what fed jacketing is. This is actually its origin labeling people who are genuine dissidents as federal assets, agents informants, that is Gladiol, that is CIA. So be very cautious before you start playing that game, because in truth, you are doing your enemy's bidding if you are doing so improperly. And just to be clear, I am not just levying this against Nick Fuentes. I'm saying this to

Tucker Carlson. I'm saying this to Dan Bilzerian, both of which have made similar accusations against Nick about him being a fed. Until you guys know, please stop. Please. If no one knows who to trust, then no one knows who to back. If no one knows who to back, then it makes it almost impossible for us to defeat the duopoly, and I think that's exactly playing into the hands of our actual enemies.

see how we can actually win. And if you if you don't want to back up Thomas Massey, tell me the fuck why I want to know? Nick is there's nobody else that's more America first in DC.
