The Conservative Civil War: Shapiro vs. Owens, Carlson, and Kelly

Candace Owens' Meltdown and Ben Shapiro's Critique

• 💡 Ben Shapiro delivered a speech at Afest calling out Candace Owens for her attacks on Erica and TPUSA, which the speakers describe as "horrific" and "beautiful."
• 💥 Candace Owens responded with a highly aggressive, "f-bomb-filled" rant against Shapiro, which the speakers found uncharacteristic and "vicious."
• 💬 Owens' response included strong language directed at Shapiro, questioning his relevance and public appeal.

Shifting Messaging and Political Allegiances

• 🎯 Candace Owens tweeted that the GOP base is more concerned about Israel than radical Islam, a statement the speakers argue misrepresents conservative sentiment.
• 📉 A poll from TPUSA indicated attendees considered radical Islam the number one threat to the US, contradicting Owens' assertion.
• 🤔 The speakers question the sudden and dramatic shifts in messaging from figures like Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, and others within the conservative sphere.

Consistency and Transformation in Conservative Media

• ⏳ The Chicks on the Right hosts emphasize their own 17-year consistency in values and messaging, contrasting it with the recent pivots of other commentators.
• 🔄 They observe a "complete 180" in the positions of many prominent figures over the past year and a half, finding it "super weird."
• 🗣️ The speakers question the motivations behind these transformations, suggesting financial incentives or other undisclosed reasons.

Tucker Carlson's Stance on Radical Islam

• 📺 Tucker Carlson, in an interview, claimed not to know anyone in the US killed by radical Islam in the past 24 years, a statement the speakers call a "blatant lie."
• ⚠️ This claim is contrasted with the beheading of a Daily Caller employee by ISIS, an event the speakers believe Carlson should remember.
• 🔄 Carlson's current stance is seen as a stark departure from his past commentary on issues like Venezuela and socialism.

Historical Context and Shifting Views on Islam

• 🎤 A clip of Candace Owens from an earlier time shows her expressing concerns about Islam's compatibility with Western civilization, a view that seems to have reversed.
• 🧐 The speakers highlight the stark contrast between Owens' past statements and her current claims that opposition to radical Islam is an "Israeli op."
• 🧐 They question why more journalists, like Megyn Kelly, are not investigating these sudden ideological shifts among conservative figures.
• 🚨 The speakers reference Charlie Kirk's past statements about Islam being incompatible with Western civilization, suggesting he would also be alarmed by current trends.
