In episode 35 of his newest production, “Tucker on X,” host Tucker Carlson interviewed the head of the UK Independence Party, Nigel Farage, on the effects “anti-Western” refugees bring to Western countries amid the current conflict in the Middle East.

Kicking off the 13-minute interview, Carlson said, “Of all the effects of the current conflict in the Middle East, one we can be certain of at this point, is that there are going to be a lot of refugees. Hundreds of thousands – possibly millions. Where should they go? That’s a real question.”

Carlson went on to note how some politicians on both sides of the aisle are advocating for refugees from Gaza to be sent to English-speaking countries, including the United States.

Farage, who noted how the UK has been accepting refugees from all corners of the world for hundreds of years, said accepting refugees from “anti-Western” backgrounds – including followers of terrorist groups like Hamas – will ultimately always pose a national security threat.

Farage further warned that any nation accepting refugees from Gaza will end up having a “significant number of Hamas sympathizers and supporters among them.”

“But remember, the duty of any government – its primary duty – is to the integrity of its own country and its citizens,” Farage added.

Carlson pointed out how countries, specifically Christian countries in the West, have been “destroyed” by accepting waves of refugees coming from anti-Western backgrounds long before Hamas’ attack on Israel October 7, noting, “this is a longstanding problem.”

Carlson concluded the interview by saying to Farage, “Countries that hate themselves have trouble continuing, I would say, and I hope that both of ours change course.”
