About this listen

 Tucker Carlson's interview with white supremacist Nick Fuentes--and Heritage Foundation President Kevin Robert's initial defense of it--is highlighting a rift in the conservative movement. While the Heritage president has since walked back that support, the fight underscores fringe elements of today's New Right movement and risks to the coalition going forward. On this episode of All Things, Kim Strassel looks to that future with Tim Chapman, president of conservative advocacy group Advancing American Freedom. The two discuss the recent rise of the New Right/National Conservative movement under Donald Trump, its abandonment of longstanding free-market principles, and some of its more toxic cultural elements. Why does Carlson's "grievance politics" appeal to younger conservatives? How do JD Vance and other prominent New Righters navigate this political landscape? And what does the wider conservative coalition look like post-Trump? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
