Making the Argument with Nick Freitas

Nick Freitas

Green Beret combat veteran Nick Freitas has earned a reputation as a leading advocate for conservative policies and philosophy across the nation. Since Nick began to serve as a Delegate in the Virginia House of Delegates, he has garnered over 100 million views on speeches that he has given in defense of those conservative ideals.

In this podcast, Nick dives into the issues, policies, and political philosophies of our time to dissect the arguments presented by the left and to make the case for the conservative values and principles that make up the core of the conservative movement while telling relevant stories from his time in combat in Iraq and giving a behind the scenes look at the legislative process today.

    France Is Burning — And the Left Lit the Match

    In under two weeks, French students went from asking for more teachers to setting fire to 24 high schools and sending more than 300 police officers to the hospital. French intelligence told the prime minister it was "an operation organised" by Jean-Luc Mélenchon's hard-left party, and one of that party's mayors told reporters "violence can be legitimate." A year after Emmanuel Macron recognized a Palestinian state for what he reportedly called domestic political reasons, the Palestinian flag is flying over school barricades even though Palestine isn't in a single student demand. In this episode, we connect the dots between France's immigration system, its Palestine gamble, and the Red-Green alliance between the radical left and political Islam. We also explain why the Arab world learned this lesson decades ago and Europe still hasn't. There are big things happening at Blaze, and we'd love for you to join us.

    They Came For Me When I Was 13 w/ Brigitte Gabriel

    Brigette Gabriel knows the threat of Islamic conquest better than almost any American. She lived it from the time she was a small child until she finally escaped as a teenager. She eventually made it to the United States as a journalist. But it wasn’t until 9/11 that she had to explain to her young daughter, the same thing that her father had to explain to her that she became an activist and ardent defender of the United States against Islam.

    What Does It Mean to Be British? | Guest: Winston Marshall

    Winston Marshall says politeness is killing Britain. In this interview, he walks through how the country got here — two London synagogues firebombed in a single month while the prime minister is "very reluctant" to say "Islamism," more immigration in 20 years than in the previous 2,000, grooming gangs he traces back to the 1950s — and why he believes a right-wing government coming in in 2029 would have just five years to deliver, because if it isn't done, "it's kind of over." His message to Americans: "If America falls, the Western project falls." There are big things happening at Blaze, and we'd love for you to join us.

    The 1965 Law That Started America's Immigration Crisis

    Lora Ries says Biden's HHS lost track of 400,000 migrant children, and Congress still hasn't acted. In this interview, she walks through how America got here — a 1965 law that launched chain migration, an asylum system she calls "easy to defraud," a trafficking program that went from an estimated 600,000–800,000 victims to 27 million worldwide with only 5,000 convictions — and the specific bills she says Congress could pass right now.

    Britain's Immigration Crisis Is More Extreme Than You Think

    Konstantin Kisin says Britain did something extreme — then called anyone who noticed an extremist. In this interview, the Soviet-born "Trigonometry" co-host walks through what that looked like — more people arriving in 11 years under Tony Blair than since 1066, a London he calls "completely unrecognizable" from the city he moved to in 1996, a welfare system that fits a Middle Eastern saying: If you want to work, go to America; if you want benefits, go to Europe — and why he believes you could deport every illegal immigrant "three times over" and still not fix a country whose GDP per capita is lower than it was 20 years ago. His argument isn't that Britain is lost; it's that the Shire has to be tended, and the people meant to protect it haven't. There are big things happening at Blaze, and we'd love for you to join us.

    A Cuban Immigrant on Why Assimilation Isn't Optional

    Mike Gonzalez says the "Hispanic" box on your census form was invented by bureaucrats in 1977. In this interview, the Cuban-born Heritage fellow walks through how activists turned the promise of a colorblind society on its head, a Census Bureau that fought the new category for years before giving up, a Ford Foundation study where Mexican Americans were offended to be asked if they felt like victims, an activist he says described her hardest job as convincing happy immigrants that America hates them — and why he believes the long march through the institutions now has to be run in reverse. Coming from an immigrant himself, his argument isn't against immigration; it's that America stopped asking immigrants to become American.

    What is 'Fusionism' and Can It Save the Right Before the Left Conquers Us?

    The American Right is not one movement. Libertarians, populists, national conservatives, postliberals, traditionalists, Reagan conservatives, and heterodox liberals often vote together while disagreeing about almost everything beneath the surface.

    5 Things the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) Put in Writing That Change Everything

    The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) say it’s just about housing and healthcare — so why did they just vote to replace the Constitution, abolish the Senate, and end policing as we know it?

    Democrats Called It a Smear. Then Polled Their Own Voters

    For two years the answer to that accusation of being a socialist was that it was a smear — a fringe label invented by people who couldn’t win the argument. The polling released this week says otherwise, and it says it in the party’s own numbers, from the party’s own voters. So the question is no longer whether the base has moved. The question is what the people who run the Democratic Party do about it, when the voters who put them there have already made their choice — and the party has no mechanism to overrule them.
