The American Right’s Civil War Over Israel w/ David Austin Walsh | The Time of Monsters with Jeet Heer
Much has been written about how the Israel/Palestine conflict is dividing the left, but the
same is true of the right. Tucker Carlson’s interview with the antisemitic critic of Israel Nick
Fuentes has created an intense debate on the right about anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism,
currently playing itself out in turmoil at the Heritage Foundation. I spoke with the historian
David Austin Walsh, whose bookTaking America Back: The Conservative Movement and the Far
Right provides a crucial background for this story.

Trump’s Chaotic Foreign Policy w/ David Klion / The Time of Monsters with Jeet Heer
There’s an ongoing feud in the Trump administration between restrainers (advocates of a less hawkish foreign policy) and neoconservatives (advocates of militarism on multiple fronts). David Klion wrote about this conflict for the Nation but notes that the ideologies are less important than the fact that Trump is an impulsive bully who often changes his mind. I talked to David about this conflict and the larger incoherence of right-wing foreign policy.
