Drama Alert: Ben Shapiro Calls Out Daily Wire Employee Candace Owens for Her "Ridiculous" Opinions on Israel

Is she still a Daily Wire employee? A source I have codenamed "Commenter" says she removed the Daily Wire tags from her Twitter bio. Another source, also codenamed "Commenter," said that she was near the end of her contract.

Owens has been caught repeating false claims from the left before:

I don't think that one incident is disqualifying. Little secret about being a public bloviator, which I'm sure none of you ever realized before, because I do exhaustive research before writing every post: We don't know what the f*** we're talking about at least 70% of the time and we basically learn by saying stupid things and then being corrected by people who know more than we do.

She's also getting knocked for deploying a line favored by Ilhan Omar, that people only support Israel because they're being paid to do so:

.@NikkiHaley supports Israel? She must be being paid!

I disagree with her on that, but let's face it, she's just going down a path that conservative favorite Tucker Carlson has been trailblazing for a while.

I've been complaining for a while that conservatives are acting like drunks who just discovered that alcohol was something they can't handle -- completely repudiating all prior positions on foreign policy. Were we too credulous of the Deep State and various militarists? Well then, we'll now hypercorrect and disavow the support of any foreign country and likewise denounce the idea of America having any opinions on foreign nations' behavior.

That's a bit extreme, isn't? Couldn't we first just try recognizing that we tend to get drunk when we open a bottle of Militarism so we should sip from it carefully and with full awareness that we have a problem with the stuff?

Do we really have to rush from one fatally-flawed extreme -- blind allegiance to anyone promising foreign adventures -- to the other fatally-flawed extreme, justifying the repulsive behavior of foreign behaviors?

And the people pushing the idea that we shouldn't support Israel because, by doing so, we "involve ourselves in a foreign dispute," need to explain to me how arguing against Israel's war on Hamas does not similarly "involve us in a foreign dispute," just on the other side.

I do find it a little weird that Candace Owens keeps pushing anti-Israel propaganda favored by the left -- and of course the alt-right, too -- but no one is required to be in 100% lockstep with "conservative consensus," which no longer even exists.

At any rate:

Ben Shapiro was asked about Owens' various statements. He pronounced them "ridiculous" and stupidity posing as "faux sophistication."

Note that in the below video, he does not call Candace Owens an anti-semite. That's the gloss added by the person linking the video.

Well here’s a welcome surprise.@benshapiro speaks up, publicly calling out Candace Owens for her too cute by half anti-Semitism as “disgraceful.”

My basic take is that I don't really agree with Owens and I find myself thinking she's a callow alt-rght hustler half the time and a decent commentator the other half. I do not approve of attacks on her for merely "platforming" Andrew Tate, or for not rushing to #Cancel Kanye West. I thought that we on the right had generally come to the realization that Snap Cancellations, and playing six degrees of cancellation (where you cancel people just for giving a "platform" to someone who's been cancelled), were bad things, generally.

And no, that doesn't mean we have to "accept everyone" nor does it mean we've abandoned the right to exclude people who are plainly bad actors. Just that we should be a lot more cautious about cancelling people, and only do so when the person in question is legitimately heinous and deserves the punishment we are urging. And cancellation is a social death penalty, which causes many of the people suffering the penalty to strongly consider suicide as an alternative, and some to actually take their own lives.

I'm not saying it's not sometimes the right and proper tactic. I'm just saying: I thought we'd all been through this enough ourselves to be extremely hesitant to push for this penalty.

I'm not even knocking L'il Ben Shapiro, who also retains all of his right to express himself and knock Owens for her, um, shaky and dubious thoughts on Israel.

Owens seems to be leaving the Daily Wire. That's fine. And it's fine that Shapiro doesn't want to renew her contract. He doesn't owe her a job and besides, she's an independent contractor. She'll just start her own Owens Wire and be just fine.

I'm only counseling against hastily-made decision to cancel Owens -- or cancel Ben Shapiro, for that matter -- given what we've all learned about cancelling people. To wit, it feels too damn good to rush out to destroy a stranger's life, and so we ought to be very suspicious about cruelty that comes in the guise of sanctimony.

Does this also apply to Donald Trump? I will say that in the interest of full disclosure I WANT to support Trump. The problem is of late he has said and done some things that make me throw my hands up.

In the last analysis, he is one of the good guys, flawed as he is in many ways. Whatever the hell is between Owens and Shapiro, who are also both good and not so good at times, they are all ostensibly on our side.

And in all three cases we can and likely will do a lot worse. It is what it is and you fight the war with the army you have, not the one you wish you had.

no not really. You're supposed to "cancel" people in politics. You're supposed to try to get people you don't like to lose their jobs as public officials.

People always get this wrong. The problem is not that there are political campaigns to get people to lose their jobs in politics. That's what politics IS!

The problem is that people use these tactics and run political campaigns to get people fired from their job as repairmen, or pilots, or restaurant owners, or whatever.

Political tactics are fine to get people thrown out of political jobs. They are not fine to get people thrown out of non-political, routine jobs.

(With some exceptions: Some teachers are very insistent on defying their bosses' orders to teach math, not gender ideology, and should be fired for insubordination.)

Previously they were a strategic check on Iraq.
Presently they have obscene amounts of anti-air and are sufficiently bloc'd with Russia and China to not be worth effort.

The sweet spot probably would have been in the 2000s, if it had been the Iraq and Iran wars rather than Iraq and Afghanistan, terrorism from the Middle East would be nigh extinct at this point. As is, it was wiped out everywhere in the ME except for Iran and its affiliates.

65 The problem with the modern right and conservatives is that the legacy of their (necessary) coalition-building is that we now have several different ideologies under the same tent. Those ideologies often disagree or even conflict. Unlike the left, which is 90% unified in agreeing on pursuing violent communist oppression, the right maintains independent thought and opinion.

Exhibit A is this blog. Other than maybe the troll shitposters, we are all conservatives. We all support the same general big-picture ideology. But there’s not a single post where the post and all the comments align perfectly. Usually it’s just the opposite.

As I said, they are a pissant country with the GDP of Dallas-Ft Worth, almost all of which is derived from a commodity that has to exported by tanker or exposed pipeline. If we declared that a state of hostilities existed between us, we could bomb their pipelines, refineries, and power plants. Seize any tanker carrying their oil, seize any money within our reach, capture any Iranian citizen that we can, assassinate their leaders, and we can do all this without putting a boot on the ground in Iran.

Is Iran that much more powerful since the Iran-Iraq war which was a stalemate?
Posted by: Drive by at November 14, 2023 05:47 PM (MNhXM)

It's less that they're powerful and more that they're specifically set up to fight in a defensive war against the United States. The US would be operating without effective air support, and so could take losses in the tens of thousands over the course of the war, which I believe is more than the US could stomach.

Afghanistan is ruled by a large number of tribes who can basically fight indefinitely with local support.

The IRGC is not that. They've trained in fighting in an urban environment in a modern guerilla style, but wouldn't be able to sustain that long run. Should be possible to cut their supplies until each unit crumbles.

Their urban-centric training tells me they don't believe they can really do long-term continual operations in the mountains.

May the name of Staff Sgt Aner Elyakim Shapiro be forever remembered.

The off duty soldier died protecting civilians from the animals of Hamas. He managed to throw back at the savages seven hand grenades they had tossed into a bomb shelter at the Supernova music festival. Alas the eighth grenade killed him.

I think this is a good inadvertent summary of why the right not only loses but deserves to lose. The same people who want you to believe that our government is terribly evil on the domestic front - rigs elections, spies on its own populace and propagandizes them, applies the law vindictively to protect the nomenklatura and punish its enemies, supports mobs, civil disorder, and criminals, is trying to get to your kids and brainwash them etc. - is actually reasonably good and competent in matters abroad, that it's hopelessly astray domestically but its foreign policy is still salvageable. It's a schizophrenic view of the US government. And it's hard to believe anyone who isn't crazy or crazily unserious holds it. And pointing out how awful various foreign actors are changes none of this. It's a like the conservative love affair with law enforcement: unrequited and hopelessly out of date.

Our leadership has become weaker not necessarily our military. We have enough Naval assets in the region to lay waste to Iran but we lack the will. We didn't send a nuclear sub to the Med for Hamas, it was a (mostly toothless) warning to Iran.

good point, but also lays bare a great weakness for us that signals caution - as you say, China imports much of its oil through Kharg; so does Europe. Given how badly the Euro's have screwed up their energy supply, any destruction to Kharg is going to thoroughly destabilize both the Chinese and European economies, and thanks to interlinkage, will destabilize ours.

I believe we could defeat Iran without too much trouble, but the second great depression would be an inevitable consequence. On the flip side, it's probably inevitable no matter what we do, so better to go down figthing.

The Revolution was not asymmetric warfare aside from a few places in the South and back country. From the start the Colonials used formed militia, and soon developed their own regulars ( the Continentals ).

We were definitely aided by the distance from England and a bit of reluctance to go nuts on other 'englishmen'. The French intervention, especially naval was useful in cutting the war shorter for sure and bagging another British Army, but we'd already taken one at Saratoga.

Hell, I wanted to glass Afghanistan rather than waste 20 years dicking around in the mountains fighting goat herders.

But I digress.

Unfortunately for Israel, they need the US's ok and support to f**k Hamas and the Palastinian's sh*t up.

And they are not going to get that ok and support.

So what's going to happen, is that Israel is going to f**k a little sh*t up, get the leash pulled and then the two state okdoke is going to start up in short order.

Israel should build a real wall with no gates. Cooperate on a UN controlled port for supplies. Sell water and electricity that can be cut off if arms show up again. Fortify the area and make it disarmed. They want a state, give them a state. But if they attack that state will be disbanded.

But that last clip of her was disappointing; it's one thing to satirically suggest that a candidate is swayed by big-money interests (completely plausible in many/most cases), but her comment about public opinion going against Israel I find utterly counter-factual. Yeah, the media, college students, college faculty, and Islamists don't like Israel--nothing new there--but I think the vast majority of normals are solidly on the side of defeating evil, which means supporting Israel in this case.

Nah. Nobody really likes the Gazans, or they'd be at war. Iran could have had Hezbollah get frisky and the Marines and carriers couldn't do much about it. Having an active north front would make ammo expenditure and reserves a potential problem, and Israel can't really hold Lebanon as they have found out. They will make a bunch of noise to mollify their own lunatics much like Biden does with his ceasefire suggestions and let things go. While it is useful for Iran to have a force at Israel's back losing Hamas if the IDF can do it matters little with them entering the BRICS and trading with Russia and China.

Pro-Hamas MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell is still falsely insisting that Hamas is not using hospitals as human shields.
"The counter from Israel is that Hamas has tunneled under the hospitals. We have not seen that intelligence. That's based on IDF video, IDF claims."

329 Look, let's be clear about Nikki Haley, for one....

She ABSOLUTELY, 100% has cashed in. Not from Israel, but from the Military Industrial Complex. Her bread is buttered on war. Period. She supports more support for Ukraine, she supports more aid for Israel. Because for every $100 spend on either of them, $1 is getting back to Nikki Haley.

So, Candace Owens may be off target a bit on that one, but she's in the area of the target.

Owens is a grifter but smart enough to use her privilege pass as a black woman to drop some deserved truths and has done more than lil' Ben WRECKING college trannies.

Shapiro has been so psychotically pro-Israel it's getting to the point where even Matt Walsh (tryhard tough guy) is even saying this slavish adherence people in this country have to OTHER COUNTRIES is getting ridiculous. I've never seen lil' Ben suck America's dick as hard as he's sucking Israel's right now and it's getting incredibly annoying.

338 Sorry to be late to the game. Today was death by PowerPoint. With that out of the way, my issue with the foreign policy of the neoconservative/chickenhawk wing of the stupid party is that we suck at war. Not at the tactical doorkicker level, but pretty much anything that involves any sort of operational or strategic thinking. We've totally forgot how to war like we did in WWII. No pauses, no escalation, no cease fires, no armistices, none of that bullshit. Hammer them hard, often, and repeatedly. Call it the LeMay plan. Don't stop until there's not 2 bricks standing on top of each other. THEN maybe people will stop fucking with us.
Oh yeah, cut the number of GOFOs by about 30% (to start).

They are all tired of us funding every other nation's wars. I don't want to fund another bullet for Israel, Ukraine, or Somalia. However, I think we should tell Israel do whatever they need to do and we'll veto any resolution that goes to the security council.
