Ben Shapiro joins Freddie Sayers for a wide-ranging conversation on the future of the American Right. They discuss what Trump has got right — and wrong — in his current tenure, Shapiro’s public criticisms of the president, and his feud with Tucker Carlson.
Also on the table: the growing divide on the Right over foreign policy and “America First,” the rise of antisemitism, free speech double standards, and Candace Owens’ exit from The Daily Wire. One of the conservative movement’s most influential voices, Shapiro doesn’t hold back.
Did not listen, but an arch Zionist like Ben will have a very different understanding of the situation -to the Right leaning like me who want the end of horrific wars for political and money making purposes, and think America should do what is right for its own people instead of AIPAC and Israel. He may be on the Right, but a very particular branch of it. In fact this kind of way is going to help break the Right up.
I don’t agree with Ben on all issues but lean his way on many. Overall, an honest and refreshing discussion with Freddy. Praise for some areas and fair criticism of other areas where Trump has disappointed.
I think it’s wonderful that the right can have these open discussions – it just goes to show how unifying President Trump has been across the political spectrum; from the left (unions, free trade sceptics), the centre (gender, cultural norms) and the right (small government, free speech, libertarians, religious).
I doubt we will see this phenomenon again in my lifetime.
