"MAGA Was Betrayed" - Ben Shapiro Reacts to Tucker Carlson’s Political Revolt

**Patrick Bet-David** (0:00)
I'm sure you saw the tweet that they posted.
I think Marjorie Taylor Greene posted first with a picture of them at the house in Maine. And it was, I think it was Joe Kent, Thomas Massey, Joe Kent, MTG, Tucker.

**Ben Shapiro** (0:15)
And some of her spousers, yeah.

**Patrick Bet-David** (0:17)
Right, and then Tucker said MAGA Was Betrayed, we all were, it's time for a new path forward, more tomorrow night, 6 p.m. What do you think we're gonna get with Tucker next?

**Ben Shapiro** (0:32)
Um, you know, I think it's very unlikely that he's gonna launch a full-scale political party.
The reason that I think that's unlikely is because that requires a certain amount of time and effort that I don't think that Tucker is probably willing to put into it, and third parties have a pretty negative history in the country in terms of electoral success. I think what he's probably gonna launch is some sort of, you know, call it DSA light for the right, and sort of an internal, an internal, you know, horseshoe right movement that tries to nominate, say, primary candidates in particular districts, that tries to sound off in loud ways in the primaries. You know, that would be the smartest thing for him to do, for sure. Not that I want to give him advice, but...

**Patrick Bet-David** (1:12)
Do you think there's any chance that he runs, because they're saying right now that they feel JD Vance has been compromised?

**Ben Shapiro** (1:20)
I think this is very, very unlikely.

**Patrick Bet-David** (1:22)
That he runs.

**Ben Shapiro** (1:23)
I think it's extremely unlikely.

**Patrick Bet-David** (1:25)
Yeah, apparently they're saying they went there to convince him to run, because they think it was supposed to be JD, and now they don't trust JD, because they think JD has been compromised with the Iran war and all that stuff.

**Ben Shapiro** (1:34)
If that's what JD Vance gets for all of his loyalty to Tucker Carlson, that would be kind of astonishing. I mean, come on.
I mean, the fact is the vice president obviously has a very close relationship with Tucker Carlson, and that's just prerogative.

**Patrick Bet-David** (1:50)
His son used to work for him, right?

**Ben Shapiro** (1:51)
Yeah, Buckley was in his office. I have nothing against Buckley. I've heard he's a nice guy.
So, yeah, that relationship is obviously quite close. I'd be quite shocked if Tucker were to turn around and then stab JD right in the back that way. I think that would be bizarre.
