The ideological sewer known as social media was alight this week with the latest escalation in a feud that has been brewing for months, if not years: the Candace Owens versus Ben Shapiro showdown. This particular chapter began after Shapiro was recorded describing Owens’s weeks of “faux sophistication” regarding the Hamas terrorist attacks on Oct. 7 as “disgraceful.”
Owens apparently then cracked open Google and frantically copied and pasted a verse from Matthew that ends with, “You cannot serve both God and money,” to which Shapiro responded , “Candace, if you feel that taking money from The Daily Wire somehow comes between you and God, by all means quit.”
Now, one of the primary criticisms of Candace Owens’s rhetoric since Oct. 7 is that it’s intentionally vague, with carefully worded pseudo-analyses designed to either enrage or delight its readers without having to stand by a specific viewpoint or principle.
And as her amazingly timed interview with Tucker Carlson showed, she learned from the best.
During her interview, which began with Carlson comparing the treatment of Candace Owens to Galileo, the pair touched on a number of controversial subjects, including Ben Shapiro’s comments, Nikki Haley’s attitude toward free speech and Israel, and predictions for the 2024 election.
But the glue that held each of these segments loosely together was Tucker Carlson’s own brand of vile, conspiratorial, and often antisemitic garbage, masked using his trademark strategy of fake cluelessness and supposedly good-natured questions.

You tell him. I don’t talk to him and I’m not all maniacally obsessed with these things.
What antisemite Tucker doink?
How would he have reacted if Trump had bombed Iran?
Tucker had a temper tantrum after President Trump droned Qasem Soleimani. Tucker could barely control his anger.
The Uke Reich fans sure dislike him lol.
Zactly
I love my Dad and have already considered some funny stories for his funeral.
Hope he lives to 100 but, he is 82.
Cept for his hearing, he seems fine.
He may even outlive me as I am going paragliding this spring and will summit K2 for my 65th birthday in 5 years
LOL
I hope he comes to see me jump off the side of the cliff in the spring and watches as I glide back to the landing in Pacifica, CA.
Then I’m going to take him either to my favorite restaurant in Carmel, CA or...hopefully my best friend, who is a renowned chef will make us dinner
He really likes her and she is always interested in him.
After dinner, we can go upstairs and i will lose a game of chess to him again. He has this unworldy ability to think so far ahead and map out probabilities....
Hes a Dork...
I still look up to him and we are the same height.
If it leads to us getting into a full on war with Iran I’m sure Tucker would be against it. But then Trump himself isn’t looking for another full on war if it can be avoided. He does what’s necessary to protect America and its interests and our enemies know that if push comes to shove he isn’t playing around. Notice Putin didn’t attack Ukraine while he was in office. That speaks for itself.
Tell Tucker to return the $15 million he accepted from Omeed Malik.
Trump did that as a favor to Netanyahu. And how did Netanyahu return the favor? By being one of the first heads of state to congratulate Biden on his ‘win’. This while many were still questioning the legitimacy of the election. Trust me Trump hasn’t forgotten this betrayal.
Sounds like God blessed you in just the way you needed!
You’re overstating it. It’s what heads-of-states do. He knew it was unlikely to be overturned, so he ingraiiated himself to the new regime. Sucking up to SloJoe was in his calculation best for Israel and we don’t know everything that went into that calculation. If it had be overturned there acceptable “means culpas” would have been said and life would have moved on.
Right, the Jacksonian peace through strenth approach. Neo- Conism is wilsonian nonsense.
Bet he regrets it now.
No, that was peace through strength - Trump made those threats to avoid war.
The neocons actually want war. They profit from it no matter which side wins.
A lot of Jews are even more anti-Zionist/anti-Israel than Tucker is.
We had peace with Trump
Yes
👍
That makes 4 of them, I definitely am unimpressed by Taylor Swift.
And don’t call me Shirley.
