Jillian Michaels joined Megyn Kelly Live on Tour in a new video posted on YouTube on November 27, 2025. The talk focused on Nick Fuentes, a far-right figure known for harsh comments about race, women, and Jewish people on his livestream America First.The main point of the talk was: Why do some young White men follow Nick Fuentes?Megyn Kelly started the talk with a strong note. She said that Nick Fuentes often uses very hurtful words, including racial slurs. But even after this, she said many young men still listen to him. Kelly said this is what she finds “most interesting,” because his popularity tells a bigger story about how these young men feel.
Jillian Michaels then shared her worry. She said that when society keeps calling young boys “bad,” it can push them away. She said this push makes them turn to people like Nick Fuentes, who use anger to attract them. Michaels said some boys feel like they are “vomiting on your woke ideology,” meaning they reject things they feel are forced on them.
She said this constant blame can make a whole generation feel angry and alone. Michaels also said that even people with normal, moderate political views feel scared when they hear Nick Fuentes because he does not sound like a regular conservative. Megyn Kelly agreed. She said Nick Fuentes is “not part of the coalition,” meaning he does not represent mainstream conservative ideas. She also said that politics has always had “fringy, weird people” who become popular only because they say “really crazy” things. She called Nick Fuentes “a very fringy person.”What Megyn Kelly said about why Nick Fuentes attracts “disaffected white men”As the talk continued, Megyn Kelly explained why she thinks some young White men feel drawn to Nick Fuentes. She said the left often blames conservatives for creating him, but she feels the reason is bigger.Megyn Kelly said that for “15-plus years,” many young White boys have been blamed for many things in society. She said they grow up hearing they are the problem. She also said they go to school and sit through events like Black History Month, Women’s History Month, and Pride Month, and during this time, they feel blamed instead of included.Kelly said that later, when these boys apply for college, some feel they are told they may not get in because they are White. She said this makes them feel unwanted. She also talked about how boys are told they have “toxic masculinity,” sometimes by the same people they are asked to celebrate.These mixed messages make young men “angry,” Kelly said, and Nick Fuentes uses that anger to build a following. Nick Fuentes has not shared any statement about Megyn Kelly’s or Jillian Michaels’ comments.
