I'm Ye.
Welcome to America First, we got a great show for you tonight.
>> Kanye West was opening for Nick Fuentes show, America First.
And if the green screen situation is any indication of the quality of that show,
not a great show.
But it's more than the tech issues, it's also the fact that Nick Fuentes
is a giant pile of garbage and openly says antisemitic racist, and terrible things.
And so, perfect match for Kanye West to be there I guess.
So, here's what happened.
By now, you're probably aware of Kanye's recent antisemitic comments.
Those remarks did end up costing Kanye West all sorts of business deals,
but they also earned him a vile new group of friends including Nick Fuentes.
Now, on November 17th, Kanye was spotted leaving dinner with Fuentes,
and the following day Nick Fuentes posted a cartoon of himself and
Kanye shaking hands on Telegram.
Then on November 20th, Kanye invited X17 online
video to his studio for a video interview.
And Kanye officially announced that he is running for president in 2024.
And Milo Yiannopoulos is making a comeback because
he will be serving as his campaign manager and
if you look closely at the video you can spot Nick Fuentes in Kanye's studio.
Now, on November 22nd, Kanye was spotted at
the Miami International Airport with Fuentes, the two were traveling to
Mar-a-Lago to have dinner with Donald Trump because of course.
And two days later on November 24, Kanye posted a video on Twitter in
which he talked about what happened during that dinner.
That was amusing.
Let's watch.
>> Most perturbed about me asking him to be my vice president.
I think that was lower on the list of things that caught him off guard.
It was the fact that I walked in with intelligence.
So, Trump is really impressed with Nick Fuentes, and
Nick Fuentes unlike so many of the lawyers and so
many people that he was left with on his 2020 campaign, he's actually a loyalist.
>> Imagine being one of the top artists in the country and then devolving into that.
Well, just to give you some more details about the dinner according
to the New York Times, during the dinner,
according to a person briefed on what took place, Fuentes as Kanye likes to call him,
described himself as part of Trump's base of supporters.
Trump remarked that his advisers urged him to read speeches using a teleprompter and
don't like when he ad-libs remarks.
Fuentes said Trump's supporters preferred the ad-libs,
at which Trump turned to the others, the person said, and
declared that he liked Fuentes, adding quote, he gets me.
Now, there was a lot of backlash toward Trump for having this dinner with two
well-known antisemites and we can talk about some of that backlash and
Trump's response to it in just a moment.
But Cenk, this in my opinion is the least surprising development of all time.
I feel 2024 is gonna be in some ways a repeat of 2016.
>> Well, look Trump's a white nationalist and
everybody keeps getting surprised that he hangs out with white nationalists.
>> Yeah, exactly.
>> So remember during Charlottesville, they chant,
the Jews will not replace us and he said there's very fine people on both sides.
So, we're surprised that he's meeting with Neo-Nazis,
he said that they were very good people on that side.
And I know the big defenses from the Trump people, no,
he was saying that about the people who love the confederate generals that
whipped and murdered and lynched black people.
He said they were really good people on that side celebrating those
wonderful guys.
No difference to me.
None, okay?
He celebrates vile racists and bigots both from the past and today, okay?
So, now, when it comes to Nick Fuentes, so, you understand why people are flipping
out about him as opposed to the many other hateful people that Trump have met with.
He has said that all the Jews should be thrown out of the country.
He denies the holocaust.
By the way, he also says awful things about black people,
of course, says the military should occupy black cities etc.
But Kanye being the self-hater clown that he is,
he's, you think black people are inferior.
Great, wonderful.
I got this great guy, Nick Fuentes and I'm gonna bring him to
the other clown that I know and it's a three-ring circus.
And by the way, guys think about it, okay?
So, maybe some of you think, well look man,
I don't know who a friend brought to dinner the other day.
Yeah, but that's because you're rando, right?
He's the former president of the United States.
Should there be some process by which people are vetted?
Remember he had top secret and
might still have some top secret documents at Mar-a-Lago.
Neo-Nazis are walking in no big deal walking around the place, no security,
nobody's stopping anybody, and then just go sit down and have dinner with Trump.
I know he's escorted by Kanye but also Kanye is an obvious admitted antisemite.
>> Yeah. So let me actually get to Trump's response
to the critics and one of those critics, by the way,
happens to be his vice president Mike Pence, will get to that in a moment.
>> And one of his critics has Ben Shapiro, who I'm going to magically agree with for
the first time ever.
>> So, first, here's what Trump posted on Truth Social.
He's been melting down ever since the backlash began.
Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, [LAUGH], was asking me for advice
concerning some of his difficulties in particular having to do with his business.
I mean that's one of the biggest mistakes Kanye West could make.
We also discussed to a lesser extent politics,
where I told him he should definitely not run for President and
then he quotes himself, any voters you may have should vote for TRUMP.
Anyway, we got along great, he expressed no anti-Semitism,
[LAUGH] and I appreciated all of the nice things he said about me on Tucker Carlson.
Why wouldn't I agree to meet?
Also, I didn't know Nick Fuentes.
I mean I just knew that Kanye West had said a ton of terrible anti-Semitic
things publicly and regularly and I agreed to have dinner with him but
I didn't, I didn't agree to have dinner with Nick Fuentes allegedly.
By the way, your former president, don't you have secret service?
And wouldn't you be informed to some extent on who Nick Fuentes really is?
He's just willy-nilly meeting with randos at Mar-a-Lago.
Really?
>> So, a couple of things about that, Nick Fuentes is unfortunately
relatively well-known Marjorie, Taylor Greene, and Paul Gosar have done events
at his white supremacist conferences and that was in the news a lot, right?
Number two, Kanye is a mentally unwell person, when he brings
a guy you don't know to dinner with the former President, not just Trump, but
secret service to Anna's point should be, whoa, we don't know this guy at all and
he's being escorted by a well known lunatic, right?
But the problem is everybody in the house is a lunatic and so
they're having a conversation inside an asylum.
So, as they're bouncing off the white walls, right?
They're saying weirdo stuff to each other but
Trump assures us that at that dinner Kanye was not at all anti-Semitic.
>> Thank God.
I mean that makes it all better, right?
>> Yeah. >> Okay, let me give you more.
>> But hold on, let me just say one quick thing about that.
So, when Trump says the last part of that comment, but
he said nice things about me on Tucker Carlson, why wouldn't I want him?
>> That all that matters.
>> Think about it guys, he's saying, you could wish death con three on
all Jewish people and you could praise Hitler several times and
say you look up to him but as long as you say nice things about Trump,
Trump likes you because Trump doesn't care about anyone but himself.
You could be the most racist anti-Semitic, bigoted piece of crap in the world and
as long as you like him, he's good with you.
And to be fair he proved that already with Kim Jong-Un,
the worst dictator in the world.
And he said he wrote me a nice letter.
So, I like him now.
In fact, he says he loves him.
>> Trump said also on Truth Social quote, so, I help a seriously troubled man,
meaning Kanye West, who just happens to be black, Ye, Kanye West,
who has been decimated in his business and
virtually everything else, and who has always been good to me,
that's always the heart of what he thinks about people, right?
Are they good to me?
By allowing his request for a meeting at Mar-a-Lago, alone, so
that I can give him very much needed advice.
He shows up with 3 people, two of which I didn't know,
the other a political person who I haven't seen in years.
I told him don't run for office, a total waste of time, can't win.
Fake news went CRAZY.
Okay, so, let's show you why people would, I don't know,
not be so happy with Trump meeting with Kanye West and Nick Fuentes.
Let's take a look at this compilation video.
This is just a little taste of who Nick Fuentes really is.
>> Maybe just get rid of Congress altogether after that happens.
Here's the pathway.
We have one more election where white people can make the decision.
But white people got to make the right decision and
then Trump's got to get in there and never leave.
I don't believe in democracy.
I do not believe in universal suffrage.
I don't support women's rights.
I don't support LGBT rights.
I believe in race and gender essentialism.
I'm catholic, I'm a catholic reactionary.
I believe that organized jury is extremely influential in the United States.
We need to go back to burning women alive more.
The Jews had better start being nice to people like us because what
comes out of this is gonna be a lot uglier and a lot worse for
them than anything that's being said on this show or has been said on this show.
These left-wing people in their heart of hearts,
they know they're wrong because like they know that black people are violent.
I will say, hey, black people are violent and then they'll go,
I bet you wouldn't say that in front of a black person.
Why?
Because they're a thug that'll hit me.
Hitler was a German statesman, not even joking this much.
I would prefer Taliban rule in America to this.
You want to know why?
Because at least if black people were fighting at the airport,
they would get their hands cut off.
>> Gee, I wonder why people would be upset that Trump would take a dinner meeting
with someone like Nick Fuentes.
And I don't believe for a second that Trump didn't know who Nick Fuentes was.
I don't believe for a second that he didn't expect Nick Fuentes to be there.
I just don't buy it.
I don't believe it.
This is what he does all the time.
It's always the Bs plausible deniability line.
>> Well, the first thing I tweeted over the weekend when I first saw that was
Bernie Sanders doesn't accidentally wind up at a dinner with white supremacists.
>> Right.
>> You know why?
Cuz he doesn't know any white supremacist, he doesn't know any biggest,
he doesn't know the anti- Semite.
That's not to say that he doesn't know a single person and is unaware of it, right?
But it's that Trump hangs out with people like that all the time.
Kanye West is the best-known anti-Semite in the country at this point,
it's not like it was a surprise to him.
Would an anti-Semite bring another anti-Semite to dinner?
Very likely, okay?
So, that's why he's like golly Gee that the guy who hates Jews,
bring someone else who hates Jews.
God, I couldn't have seen that coming.
I mean come on, this is absurd.
And if you notice they keep referring to Kanye running for president, who cares?
I mean the guy's gonna get three votes like he did last time,
he's a literal lunatic, okay?
But for them, since they live in an asylum,
that's a perfectly rational conversation.
And Kanye asked Trump to be his VP, cuckoo for cocoa puffs, right?
Completely detached from reality.
And then Trump, you could tell in his two comments, caught feelings over that and
he's, well, I was giving him business advice.
Dude, you had six bankruptcies.
Everything is in an alternate reality, where he's a great businessman.
You've lost all $400 million twice, two different times,
you lost $400 million you're the worst businessman in America.
But in his world, he's, and I wanted to tell Kanye now, of course, he shouldn't
run for office because I'm running for office and he's gonna take voters away.
Guys, you're having a nonsense conversation.
The real issue is you're all deeply hateful pricks and unfortunately one
of you is in charge of one of the major parties in America still to this day.
And lastly, the Republican voters get by far the majority of the blame.
Guys, you don't know Trump?
>> They know.
>> You know. >> They know.
>> You know.
And trump himself has said 1000 anti-Semitic comments.
And you love to hide behind the fact that his son-in-law is Jewish or
some of his top advisers are Jewish.
No, he's constantly saying that they support Israel instead of America.
That they like to negotiate and
renegotiate deals to anti-Semitic tropes nonstop.
And for the Republican voters though, as they see that monster at Mar-a-Lago, they
don't think it's the bug, they think it's the feature that he hates all those groups
