Tucker Carlson unleashed a fierce critique of neoconservatives and Zionists in a recent episode of the podcast Part of the Problem with Dave Smith, branding them as unapologetically pro-violence.

Carlson strongly criticized those who support violent acts, questioning how anyone could rationalize the mass killing of civilians or endorse acts of terror. “They are blatantly pro-violence,” Carlson stated. “How can you possibly justify the slaughter of tens of thousands of children or defend a terror attack, which indiscriminately maims people? What exactly are you celebrating? It’s the celebration of violence.”

He clearly set his stance apart by opposing the killing of innocents, drawing a distinct moral boundary between himself and neoconservative figures like Ben Shapiro and Lindsey Graham.

Dave Smith provided additional perspective by referencing a notorious tweet from Ben Shapiro in 2011, where Shapiro labeled Ron Paul as “manifestly evil” and compared him to someone “gripping the neck of a Jew”—a harsh critique of a person known for his peaceful approach. Smith commented, “If you said that about Ron Paul? Then, Ben Shapiro, you deserve Nick Fuentes.”

Carlson broadened his criticism to include other well-known conservatives such as Josh Hammer and Ted Cruz. “They categorize people into groups… if that group is your family, that’s understandable, but if it’s solely based on ethnicity, then you inevitably harbor animosity towards other groups,” Carlson articulated. He pointed out the ethnic animosity in Shapiro’s attack on Paul, bluntly stating, “I don’t like it.”

Addressing the political elite, Carlson criticized leaders like Lindsey Graham as “violence worshippers” who are captivated by the “thrill of killing their adversaries” and the deceptive sense of “godlike power” that comes with taking human lives. “We don’t have the right to kill people. We do not have the right to kill the innocent, period,” Carlson asserted.

Dave Smith provided context by invoking a controversial 2011 tweet from Ben Shapiro, who had called Ron Paul “manifestly evil” and compared him to a man “gripping the neck of a Jew” — a severe attack on a figure known for gentleness and nonviolence. Smith said, “If you said that about Ron Paul? Then you know what, Ben Shapiro? You get Nick Fuentes.”

Carlson expanded this critique, calling out other prominent conservatives such as Josh Hammer and Ted Cruz. “They think in terms of groups… if your group means your family, that’s one thing, but if purely your ethnic group, then you inevitably become hateful to other groups,” Carlson explained. He highlighted the ethnic hatred behind Shapiro’s attack on Paul, saying plainly, “I don’t like it.”

Turning to the broader political establishment, Carlson condemned figures like Lindsey Graham as “violence worshippers” intoxicated by the “thrill that they feel killing their enemies” and the illusion of “godlike power” in extinguishing human life. “We don’t have a right to kill people. We do not have a right to kill the innocent, period,” Carlson emphasized.

He accused Shapiro of attempting to silence critics by accusing them of being “Holocaust deniers” merely for opposing the mass killing of civilians. According to Carlson, Shapiro’s worldview revels in “joy in killing innocents.”

The commentary reached a climax when Carlson cited a video from the recent Republican Jewish Coalition Leadership Summit showing Graham boasting, “We’re killing the right people.” Carlson warned, “Imagine what it’s going to be like standing at the judgment… celebrating killing the right people. I wouldn’t want to be that man.”

This hard-hitting dialogue between Carlson and Smith exposed the fatalistic and violent ideology underpinning Neoconservative and Zionist politics, urging listeners to recognize that what is often framed as patriotism or loyalty is, at its core, an endorsement of violence.

This episode of Part of the Problem sheds light on the stark divides within the conservative movement, exposing a faction that embraces violence and ethnic hatred versus those who reject such extremism in defense of innocent life. Carlson’s unflinching stance challenges the mainstream right-wing narrative, demanding accountability for those who glorify war and civilian suffering under the guise of group identity or foreign policy.
