Shapiro's MELTDOWN: Tucker Hosts Fuentes, Chaos Ensues

The feud erupted after Tucker Carlson hosted Nick Fuentes on his show (around late October 2025), where Fuentes discussed his views and past conflicts with Shapiro. In response, on November 3, 2025, Ben Shapiro released a 41-minute episode of The Ben Shapiro Show dedicating it to criticizing both, calling Tucker an "intellectual coward," "dishonest interlocutor," and "the most virulent super-spreader of vile ideas in America" for not pushing back on Fuentes' controversial statements.
