There is a lot of talk about a budding “civil war” on the right as prominent voices like Tucker Carlson and Ben Shapiro have been slinging arrows at one another over the future of the conservative and MAGA movements.
In the latest dust up, Shapiro issued a fiery takedown of Carlson’s controversial interview with Nick Fuentes on his podcast this week. Carlson talked to Megyn about his sit-down and how he views the fallout during her tour stop on Wednesday in New York (you can get up to speed on that here).
On Thursday, it was Shapiro’s turn to offer his perspective. Megyn was in Jacksonville, Florida, for the latest stop on her Megyn Kelly Live tour, and he joined her to discuss the backstory of how the situation with Carlson got to this point and where it goes from here.
The Backstory
Shapiro explained his takedown of Carlson on his show this week, the relevance of the Nick Fuentes interview, the actual texts between the two after Charlie Kirk’s assassination, how Israel factors into the disagreement, and more.
Where Things Stand
Megyn and Shapiro debated free speech vs. “platforming” and “gatekeeping,” the state of the conservative movement, how he would have handled the Fuentes interview, and more.
