Is there a civil war breaking out on the right?

Tucker Carlson 0:00
Christmas is here. That means you're eating a lot. We are. It's a tough time to get on the scale because the meals keep coming and so does the weight gain. But what if there was a way to eat like you want to eat without getting really fat over Christmas week? This is an ongoing concern in my house. A snack that tastes excellent and is healthy. Well, it exists. It's called masa chips. It's part of a growing movement to revive real food, the kind your grandparents ate before snacks were designed in labs. How do they do it? Well, we'll tell you because it's very simple. Masa chips are made from three ingredients, only three, organic corn, sea salt, and 100% grass-fed beef tallow. That's it. This is not some weird Franken cocktail like most big chip brands.

Masa chips taste delicious and you feel way better after. You're not bloated. You don't feel mindless. It doesn't take you out of the game for hours. And if you want to pick a flavor, we recommend lime. My producer is literally eating a bag right off camera right now. Ready to give it a try? Masachips.com slash Tucker.

Tucker Carlson 1:28
Glad you feel that way anyway.

Why doesn't Matt Walsh care about Israel?

Tucker Carlson 1:30
No, I mean, the reason I want to talk to you is there's a lot that I admire about how you've handled this just as a man. Leaving aside our opinions, which I don't even know if they are probably different in some ways, same in other ways, but it's not even about that. you know everybody involved personally or most of them involved in all these dramas on the right. And I think the way that you've handled it is just so impressive. So thank you for that. But first, what is going on? There is a civil war, probably not too strong on the right within the Trump coalition. What is it?
Matt Walsh 2:29
Yeah, I mean, this has been, it's been a really awful, I think, for everybody. And a lot of this drama obviously goes back, goes back a long way. But I think after Charlie was killed, it's created this kind of this vacuum. And it's a leadership vacuum because Charlie was, I think, the best leader we had on the right. And the tragic reality is that a lot of the stuff that we said right after he was killed turned out not to be true. Stuff that even I said, like, well, you killed Charlie, but you made a million more, right? You killed one Charlie, but now we have a million more Charlies. And I think we said that because we wanted that to be true. And for a brief amount of time, it felt that way because it felt like everybody was sort of unified and we were coming together and going to the memorial and everybody was there.
Matt Walsh 3:33
And it felt like almost this revival, even this religious revival and all these things. But then I think quickly reality sets in. And what we have realized and what we've seen is that you kill Charlie and And now Charlie's gone. That's the thing. When you kill someone, they're gone, at least in this life. And so, no, we didn't go from one Charlie to a million Charlies. We went from one Charlie to zero Charlies. And that's just, that's what happens. That's why assassinations happen. That's why people do them. There's a reason. Because they work. Because it works. Yeah, because they work. And that's been the greatest tragedy about all this. I mean, aside from the human tragedy that an actual human being lost his life and his wife doesn't have a husband, his kids don't have a father.
Matt Walsh 4:20
I mean, that's the great tragedy, the human tragedy. But on a kind of national scale, the tragedy is that the strategy of assassination has been proven effective again, as it has all throughout human history. And so now this guy who was this, I think to an extent that none of us fully realized was the glue that was holding everything together on the right, holding this whole crazy coalition together.
