In an interview with Auron McIntyre of the Blaze, Tucker Carlson discussed how conservatives actually have their own cancel culture; namely, for anti-Semitism. This phenomenon shows a divide between the old guard and younger conservatives, who are not necessarily on board with that. And you might say Tucker is the titular head of this skeptical faction. In fact, he tore right into that issue in the podcast.

Surely Tucker wanted to say this on Fox News, but it’s just not something you can do not with Rupert Murdock at the helm. The idea of questioning our relationship with Benjamin Netanyahu, while there might be some interest aligned, as Tucker says, not necessarily. That is quite the heretical statement in conservative media.

Auron added on the Israel-Palestine conflict: 

“Why should we get involved on either side of that?”  

He concludes:

“It's just not our problem.”

But things only get more edgy from there.

Tucker mocked the notion that he’s somehow “a tool of Qatar.” Indeed, the allegation that critics of Israel are being paid by Qatar is ubiquitous, and I don’t frankly know if there’s any truth to it.  In George Washington’s farewell address, he warned against entangling alliances, and we’ve apparently learned nothing.  Or maybe President Trump is learning, Tucker speculates, in showing some caution in wedding ourselves to Israel. 

Meanwhile, Auron McIntyre proved himself to be a thoughtful commentator, a cut above the usual conservative talking heads.

The boys had a fairly profound discussion about the decline of the West, and they both found particular fault with England. McIntyre commented:

 “They're completely destroying any Anglo understanding of rights.”  

Indeed, it’s depressing to think about how politically correct and woke and it is in England, where you literally get arrested for hurting someone’s feelings–if they’re from a protected group; especially considering the swaggering British Empire when they were hardly known as Mr. Sensitive. 

“Those are the founders, Anglo-Protestants, 100%.”

-Tucker Carlson 

Tucker and Aaron discuss the Anglo-Saxon roots of the country, which is not necessarily exclusive to people with Anglo-Saxon ethnicity. In fact, it’s a cultural identifier that even transcends Anglo-Saxons and Protestantism. It’s taken on by Jewish people or Italians or whoever else might identify with that core American group and core American values.  

However, this doesn’t mean that entire peoples are interchangeable. As Tucker says, “when you change the people you change the country.” So that’s obviously true. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a bad thing, but it does logically follow.

McIntyre points out that the Constitution begins with “we hold these truths to be self-evident,” but those truths were only “self-evident” to a particular people in a particular time and maybe their progeny. It wouldn’t necessarily work in Afghanistan, for example, McIntyre says.  They have their own ways of doing things.
