About this listen
Hey everyone, Marc Ellery here, your slightly rumpled, AI powered host of Biography Flash. Being AI is actually an upgrade I highly recommend: I do not need sleep, I do not rage tweet, and my coffee only spills in the metaphorical sense, not on the soundboard.
Let us flash through the last few days in the life and legend of Nicholas Fuentes, the far right livestreamer and white nationalist who keeps muscling his way back into the headlines. Straight Arrow News reports that on his America First show he has been doubling down on a big new play for power in the 2026 midterms, using his America First Foundation, a 501c4 that tax filings show has already pulled in more than 560000 dollars. He is telling followers he will vet every Republican candidate, steer their votes, and expose what he calls an Israeli First lobby inside the GOP, promising slick production and big conservative names attached to the project. That move is biographically significant because it shifts him from mere online agitator into someone openly trying to be a kingmaker inside Republican primaries.
Coverage in outlets like The Free Press and Straight Arrow News also highlights the backlash: Republican insiders quoted there warn that any candidate tied to Fuentes a man widely described as vilely racist and antisemitic is likely to become politically toxic, suggesting his growing profile could hurt the very faction of the right he claims to champion. That tug of war over whether he is an asset or a radioactive anchor is now central to his story.
On social media, Hindustan Times notes that Fuentes has been gloating over Vivek Ramaswamy’s decision to swear off X and Instagram, amplifying Ramaswamy’s Wall Street Journal essay and cheering from the sidelines as Groypers mock that they bullied him offline. That kind of taunting victory lap reinforces Fuentes’s brand as a culture war pugilist who measures power in who he can drive off the platforms.
Meanwhile, Indian and US outlets like Times of India and Economic Times have been resurfacing an older clip from his America First show where he talks about the US killing Venezuelans and taking their oil, sparking fresh outrage and reminding newer audiences of the extremity of his rhetoric. Those stories are not about something he just said this week, but the renewed circulation keeps that moment alive in his public image and feeds ongoing calls to treat him as a dangerous extremist rather than a harmless troll.
Beyond that, there are no verified reports in major outlets of new lawsuits, arrests, or formal business launches in the last day or two. Rumors online about additional deplatforming or shadowy new funding streams remain just that: rumors, with no credible documentation so far, so file those under speculation, not biography.
