About this episode
Last week, former Fox News host and conservative pundit Tucker Carlson invited white supremacist and antisemite Nick Fuentes onto his highly-ranked podcast for a friendly conversation about Israel and conservatism. The podcast episode has garnered millions of views – and highlighted a dangerous schism on the American Right. Because while many conservatives condemned Fuentes for his racism and antisemitism and Carlson for basically giving him a nice backrub for two hours, others seemed to find it necessary to defend Carlson. To discuss Fuentes, Tucker Carlson, and the rift within the Right, I spoke with Robert Draper . He is a New York Times journalist focused on the politics of the right wing. And in headlines, a Syrian President may visit the White House for the first time in history, President Trump joins 60 Minutes after cashing out his $16 million lawsuit against CBS, and the government shutdown is only days away from becoming the longest of all time.
