Steve Bannon Goes SCORCHED EARTH On Ben Shapiro! (Jimmy Dore)

Infighting within the conservative movement continues to escalate, most recently with Steve Bannon’s public attacks on Ben Shapiro at TPUSA’s AmFest, calling the Daily Wire founder a “cancer” who tries to control organizations like Breitbart, David Horowitz’s network, and even Turning Point USA itself. Shapiro didn’t hold his fire, lighting into the likes of Bannon, Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, Candace Owens, and others, accusing them of antisemitism and disloyalty regarding Israel policy, while critics accuse Shapiro of pushing neocon foreign policy, corporate interests, and unwavering pro-Israel priorities.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss Glenn Greenwald’s suggestion that Shapiro is waging war on major conservative figures to force the GOP back into Bush/Cheney-style neoconservatism and Wall Street alignment ahead of future elections. The segment frames TPUSA’s handling of speakers, internal conservative power struggles, and the rhetoric between Shapiro and Bannon as “WWE-style” political theater driven by panic and control rather than honest debate.
