Ben Shapiro’s unprecedented 40-minute meltdown has exposed the crumbling foundation of neoconservative influence within the Republican Party. Last week, the Daily Wire co-founder abandoned his regular programming for an extraordinary single-topic rant, revealing the establishment’s growing panic over Nick Fuentes’ relaunch of the America First Foundation and its rising influence.
“I want to do something different on today’s show. We’re going to cover one topic in depth,” Shapiro declared at the outset of his emergency broadcast. “That topic is, I think, the most important thing happening in the country… the fragmentation of the political right”[1].
What triggered this unprecedented reaction? Tucker Carlson’s recent interview with Nick Fuentes—a conversation that clearly shattered establishment composure and exposed the widening fault lines within conservative politics. Shapiro’s visceral reaction speaks volumes about the threat America First principles pose to foreign-first neoconservative agendas.
Throughout his extended tirade, Shapiro hurled increasingly desperate accusations, labeling Tucker Carlson “an intellectual coward, a dishonest interlocutor, and a terrible friend”[1]. His characterization reached fever pitch as he declared, “Tucker Carlson acts as an ideological launderer for other people’s evils”[1], claiming Carlson “softens” ideas before providing “a massive signal boost”[2].
This reaction goes far beyond personal disagreement—it reveals genuine fear. Shapiro spent his entire show lambasting Carlson, accusing him of polishing views that should fall outside the right’s tent[2]. The intensity of his response demonstrates the establishment’s recognition that its grip on Republican foreign policy is slipping as America First nationalism gains momentum.
Most telling was Shapiro’s admission that the Fuentes-led movement threatens to “hollow out the Republican Party, lead it to electoral catastrophe, and empty it and the country of any semblance of decency in the process”1. Behind this alarmist rhetoric lies acknowledgment of a fundamental shift in the conservative base toward American sovereignty and against foreign entanglements.
“There’s no question that Tucker has become the most virulent super spreader of vile ideas in America,” Shapiro claimed in his desperate attempt to discredit Carlson’s platform[2]. Yet his efforts to silence this conversation may have backfired spectacularly. Ironically, Fuentes himself “credits Shapiro’s criticism of him early in his career as helping garner significant attention and propelling him from online troll to a leading voice for the far right”[2].
The timing of this meltdown is particularly revealing—coming precisely as the America First Foundation prepares its bold relaunch as a powerhouse organization focused on:
- Exposing foreign lobbying networks draining American resources
- Evaluating candidates based on America First principles
- Educating voters on constitutional liberty and national sovereignty
Despite his Harvard law pedigree[3], Shapiro’s argument ultimately collapses under its own contradictions. While insisting he’s “not interested in ‘canceling’ Carlson or Fuentes” and that both “should be allowed to host their shows and have their social media accounts remain active”[2], his entire monologue attempts to excommunicate them from conservative discourse.
“My answer is no. No to the groypers, no to their publicists like Tucker Carlson, no to those who champion them,” Shapiro insisted, before dramatically declaring: “This is our country, this is our party, and this is our conservative movement”1. This territorial claim exposes the establishment’s fear of losing control as Americans increasingly reject endless foreign wars and entangling alliances that drain our treasury.
The fractures Shapiro desperately tried to paper over represent the inevitable clash between two incompatible visions:
- The neoconservative order: perpetual foreign interventions, billions in foreign aid, and globalist alliances
- The America First vision: constitutional sovereignty, fiscal responsibility, and prioritizing American interests
His declaration that “if we lose the right, we will lose to the left. And either way, we’ll lose the country”[2] inadvertently reveals the establishment’s recognition that its grip on Republican foreign policy is weakening. The old guard can no longer control the conversation as Americans increasingly question why billions flow overseas while domestic needs go unmet.
Shapiro’s frantic attempt to reestablish boundaries—”it is not cancellation to draw moral lines between viewpoints”[2]—demonstrates the last gasp of a fading paradigm. The very intensity of his response confirms what America First advocates have long maintained: the establishment fears genuine nationalist policies that would redirect focus and resources toward American citizens.
This meltdown signals a pivotal moment for the America First movement. Clips from Shapiro’s rant have circulated widely, inadvertently amplifying the very messages he sought to suppress. Meanwhile, Fuentes’ foundation relaunch positions the movement to capitalize on growing public skepticism toward foreign aid and military interventionism.
As this conflict intensifies ahead of the 2026 midterms, Shapiro’s hysterical response will likely be remembered as the moment neoconservative influence began its terminal decline. The establishment’s panic confirms what many have suspected: America First nationalism isn’t just gaining ground—it’s becoming the dominant force reshaping Republican politics for a new generation of patriots committed to restoring constitutional governance and national sovereignty.
II. The America First Revival: Nick Fuentes’ Vision for National Sovereignty
Image Source: The Intercept
After years of relative quiet, Nick Fuentes has ignited a firestorm within conservative politics by announcing the revival of the America First Foundation. This strategic relaunch, scheduled for 2026, signals a fundamental realignment in right-wing politics that extends far beyond mere rhetoric—positioning the organization as a direct challenge to establishment figures like Shapiro who’ve dominated conservative discourse[4].
The announcement sent shockwaves through political circles when the foundation declared its intention to resume operations as a formidable 501(c)(3) nonprofit. “Through our events, publications, and fellowships,” the website proudly proclaims, “we are building a formidable network of activists and thought leaders committed to preserving our nation and reclaiming our independence”[4]. Following the model of successful conservative institutions, the foundation will operate as a “nonprofit, non-partisan research institute”[5], allowing it to educate voters without the constraints of direct electoral involvement.
Yet unlike traditional conservative organizations that focus primarily on economic policies or social issues, Fuentes envisions something far more revolutionary: a systematic effort to map and expose the complex network of foreign influences—especially Israel-aligned lobbying groups—that he believes have captured American foreign policy at the expense of national sovereignty.
The foundation’s relaunch comes amid what insiders describe as “an undeclared civil war within the Republican Party, as it relates to Israel, antisemitism and the Jewish community”[6]. This internal conflict has created the perfect conditions for Fuentes’ vision to gain traction among conservatives increasingly skeptical of foreign entanglements and unlimited aid packages that drain American resources.
Ruthless Candidate Evaluation: No More Fake Patriots
Fuentes has made it abundantly clear that the revived foundation will implement rigorous standards when evaluating political figures claiming the “America First” mantle. His recent criticism of prominent MAGA figures demonstrates his uncompromising approach to maintaining ideological consistency.
In a revealing interview with Tucker Carlson, Fuentes openly called out Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene and Joe Kent as “fake America First,” accusing both politicians of having “diluted the nationalist vision originally embodied by President Donald Trump”[7]. This willingness to criticize even popular MAGA figures demonstrates Fuentes’ commitment to ideological purity over political expediency.
The foundation’s candidate evaluation process appears designed to prevent the watering down of nationalist principles. When discussing Kent’s platform, Fuentes dismissively noted, “Inclusive populism… that doesn’t sound like authentic America First. That sounds like GOP slop”[7]. He argued forcefully that the movement’s authenticity was being systematically eroded by Republicans attempting to broaden their appeal—a compromise he finds unacceptable.
Fuentes’ relationship with these figures reveals much about his approach. Initially, he supported Kent and “offered help from his followers,” only to withdraw that support after Kent publicly distanced himself[7]. Similarly, after Greene spoke at his America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC) in 2022, Fuentes was incensed when she later “pretended like she didn’t know me” and reportedly “fired that guy because someone found out that a groyper was working in her office”[7].
Throughout these conflicts, Fuentes has maintained that his motivation remains purely ideological: “It’s not personal for me. My goal is America First. It’s about winning for America”[7]. This commitment to placing principles above personalities will likely inform the foundation’s approach to endorsements and candidate evaluations in the coming election cycles.
Mapping the Influence Networks: Following the Money
Perhaps the most controversial aspect of Fuentes’ vision is the foundation’s planned effort to systematically document and expose what it views as foreign influence operations in American politics—with a special focus on pro-Israel lobbying networks.
This initiative comes as conservative groups increasingly recognize antisemitism as “a recurring political issue in the coming year, as Democrats and Republicans battle for control of Congress in the midterms”[6]. However, Fuentes’s approach differs dramatically from that of establishment conservatives, who focus primarily on left-wing campus activism. Instead, the foundation appears poised to examine how foreign policy decisions—particularly regarding aid to Israel—may be influenced by organized lobbying efforts that prioritize foreign interests over American sovereignty.
The mapping project aligns perfectly with Fuentes’ nationalist vision, which fundamentally questions why billions of American tax dollars flow overseas rather than being spent on domestic concerns. By documenting the complex web of organizations, funding sources, and political relationships that shape American foreign policy, the foundation hopes to provide voters with unprecedented transparency about influences that often remain hidden from public view.
This initiative has already created significant tension within conservative circles, evidenced by the turmoil at the Heritage Foundation—”a leading think tank whose president, Kevin Roberts, initially refused to distance himself from Carlson” after his interview with Fuentes[6]. The controversy led to the resignation of a board member. It prompted an antisemitism task force to “sever its ties with the organization”[6], demonstrating the establishment’s discomfort with open discussion of these topics.
Undeterred, Fuentes appears committed to pressing forward with the mapping project, recognizing that traditional conservatives find themselves increasingly divided on these issues. As Matt Brooks of the Republican Jewish Coalition noted, “We are at this point in what I consider sort of the early stages of an undeclared civil war within the Republican Party”[6]—a division that creates space for Fuentes’ uncompromising vision.
Reclaiming Authentic Nationalism
Throughout his public statements, Fuentes has positioned himself as the guardian of genuine nationalist principles against what he sees as compromised versions promoted by mainstream figures. When confronted about disputes with Greene and Kent, he framed their positions as marking “a broader split inside the America First movement, with newer politicians embracing ‘inclusive populism’ rather than Trump-era nationalism”[7].
This ideological battle represents the core of Fuentes’ vision: a return to uncompromising advocacy for American interests above all else—including questioning longstanding alliances and aid packages that drain resources from American citizens. By establishing the America First Foundation as a 501(c)(3), Fuentes can build the intellectual and organizational infrastructure needed to advance this vision systematically.
For supporters, the foundation’s relaunch represents a bold attempt to reclaim nationalism from those who have diluted it. For critics—including establishment figures like Shapiro—it means a dangerous challenge to orthodox conservative views on foreign policy and America’s role in the world. Regardless of perspective, one thing remains clear: Nick Fuentes’ revived America First Foundation has positioned itself at the center of the struggle for the soul of right-wing politics in America.
III. Exposing the Israel First Betrayal: No More Billions for Endless Wars
Image Source: Idaho Capital Sun
The shocking truth of America’s financial servitude to Israel has finally broken into mainstream consciousness. Staggering figures reveal that U.S. taxpayers have funded a massive USD 21.70 billion in military aid to Israel in just the two years since October 7, 2023[8]. This astronomical sum doesn’t even include tens of billions in arms sales agreements committed for future delivery.
Fellow patriots, as true conservatives, nationalists, libertarians, and Republicans bound by our sacred Constitution, it’s time to rise and reclaim our sovereign Republic from the globalist chains and Israel First betrayers draining our treasury for endless foreign wars!
The scale of this betrayal is difficult to comprehend. Not satisfied with direct military aid, our government has spent an additional USD 9.65 to 12.07 billion on military operations in Yemen and the wider Middle East region, sparked by or supporting Israeli army operations since October 2023[8]. This brings the total American spending on post-10/7 wars to an unconscionable USD 31.35 to 33.77 billion and counting[8].
Where does this money go? Primarily toward arming a foreign nation with American weapons:
- Israel’s entire combat aircraft fleet comes from the U.S. – including 75 F-15s, 196 F-16s, and 39 F-35s[8]
- All attack and transport helicopters are U.S.-made – 46 Apache helicopters, 25 Sea Stallion, and 49 Black Hawk transport helicopters[8]
- Tens of thousands of American bombs, missiles, and targeting systems[8]
These weapons have inflicted what can only be described as a humanitarian catastrophe, with over ten percent of Gaza’s population killed or injured and at least 5.27 million people displaced throughout the region[8]. Yet the Israel-first establishment demands more of your hard-earned money.
The treachery extends far beyond recent expenditures. Under former President Obama, a massive deal was struck committing Americans to provide Israel USD 38 billion in military assistance over 10 years[9]. This long-term financial shackling of American taxpayers represents precisely the type of “entangling alliance” our Founding Fathers warned against.
Fortunately, a few brave constitutionalists have stood against this betrayal. Senator Rand Paul courageously placed a hold on the U.S.-Israel Security Assistance Authorization Act, blocking its passage and drawing fierce attacks from pro-Israel lobbying groups[10]. These organizations subsequently launched an expensive advertising campaign against Paul, demonstrating their determination to continue the flow of American money overseas[10].
Senator Paul’s principled position reflects actual America First values: “While I’m not for foreign aid in general, if we are going to send aid to Israel, it should be limited in time and scope so we aren’t doing it forever, and it should be paid for by cutting the aid to people who hate Israel and America”[10]. This commonsense approach challenges the endless blank checks written by establishment politicians.
Furthermore, Paul has consistently advocated redirecting foreign aid toward American needs. His statement to Jewish Insider clarified: “Why are we giving twice as much money to nations that surround Israel, which forces Israel to spend more on defense? We have given billions to Pakistan and the Palestinian Authority. I’ve repeatedly introduced legislation to stop this, only to be opposed by AIPAC and others”[11].
The constitutionalist position is clear: America’s government exists to serve American citizens first. Each billion sent overseas represents funding denied to secure our borders, care for our veterans, or be returned to hardworking taxpayers.
This policy represents a profound misallocation of resources. Though many Americans believe foreign aid consumes roughly 25% of the federal budget, in reality, it’s less than 1%[12]. Yet within this 1%, the Israel lobby has secured a massively disproportionate share – all while domestic needs go unmet.
Additionally, the mechanisms of this aid reflect disturbing double standards. While the U.S. government imposes “stringent, some would say onerous, reporting and accounting requirements”[12] on most foreign aid recipients, Israel receives uniquely preferential treatment. Unlike other nations receiving American assistance, Israel can use this money to purchase weapons from its own defense industries rather than exclusively from American manufacturers.
Surely any America First patriot must question: Why does Israel deserve billions in annual aid while American citizens struggle? Why must we fund a foreign nation’s entire air force while our own veterans sleep on the streets? Why should American tax dollars finance conflicts that create more enemies and entangle us further in foreign disputes?
The evidence indicates growing skepticism among rank-and-file Republicans. Consequently, the America First Foundation’s focus on exposing this betrayal comes at a perfect moment – as conservative voters increasingly question the orthodox position that unlimited Israel aid is somehow compatible with putting America First.
Essentially, this battle represents the fundamental divide within the conservative movement: those who place American sovereignty and the Constitution above all else versus those who prioritize foreign interests and endless military interventions. The stakes couldn’t be higher – not just billions in taxpayer dollars, but the very soul of our Republic.
As the America First Foundation exposes these networks of influence, patriots across the nation are awakening to a simple truth: no foreign country, regardless of historical ties, deserves unlimited access to American treasure. The time has come to demand accountability, adherence to the Constitution, and an actual America First foreign policy.
IV. Republican Awakening: Purging Globalist Puppets from the GOP
Image Source: The Atlantic
The Republican Party is undergoing a seismic shift as rank-and-file conservatives increasingly question the establishment’s unwavering support for Israel. Recent Pew Research polling reveals an unprecedented transformation: 59% of Americans now hold an unfavorable opinion of the Israeli government[13], up dramatically from 51% earlier this year. Moreover, 39% believe Israel is going too far[14] in its military operations, compared to just 27% in late 2023.
This awakening isn’t happening by accident—it represents a fundamental realignment as true America First principles finally penetrate mainstream Republican consciousness. Accordingly, conservative influencers like Tucker Carlson have played a pivotal role in this transformation by challenging orthodox GOP positions on Israel. Carlson bluntly stated during a recent interview, “Israel does not matter”[15], directly contradicting decades of Republican foreign policy doctrine.
On account of this growing skepticism, the divide between establishment figures and the MAGA base has widened into what experts describe as “an undeclared civil war within the Republican Party, as it relates to Israel, antisemitism and the Jewish community”[16]. This internal conflict creates the perfect environment for purging globalist puppets from Republican ranks.
The most striking aspect of this revolution is its rapid spread among younger conservatives. Polling demonstrates that negative views of Israel among conservatives under 50 have jumped dramatically from 35% to 50%[17] in just three years. Even more tellingly, among evangelicals aged 18-34, only 32% now sympathize with Israel over Palestinians—more than 30 points lower than older evangelicals[17].
This transformation extends beyond mere polling data. Prominent MAGA voices, including Steve Bannon, Candace Owens, and Tucker Carlson, have publicly criticized Israel’s actions. As Curt Mills, editor of the American Conservative Magazine, explained: “They are using Donald Trump’s presidency like a rented car. The Israelis, the Israeli lobby, the Netanyahu Government, the neoconservatives in his ranks”[17].
Nonetheless, this awakening represents more than just criticism of Israel—it marks a fundamental reclamation of nationalist principles. The Republican base increasingly recognizes the contradiction between an “America First” agenda and unconditional support for foreign nations. Vice President JD Vance perfectly captured this tension when he stated, “Sometimes they have similar interests to the United States, and we’re going to work with them in that case. Sometimes they don’t have similar interests to the United States”[16].
The establishment’s panic over this growing movement is evident in their desperate attempts to maintain control. Senator Ted Cruz lamented, “In the last six months, I’ve seen more antisemitism on the right than I have in my entire life”[16], while staffers at the Heritage Foundation publicly rebelled after its President refused to distance the organization from Carlson’s interview with Fuentes.
This struggle represents the latest chapter in what political scientists identify as the decades-long tension between nationalism and conservatism within the Republican Party. As Angie Maxwell of the University of Arkansas explains, this partnership was “forged in the middle of the 20th century when the Republican Party worked to break the hold the Democratic Party had on the South”[18].
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has emerged as a powerful voice in this nationalist resurgence, declaring, “We need to be the party of nationalism, and I’m a Christian, and I say it proudly, we should be Christian nationalists”[18]. Her recent criticism of Israel’s actions in Gaza as “genocide”[19] signals how far this awakening has penetrated even among Trump’s most loyal supporters.
For true America First patriots, this Republican awakening couldn’t come at a better moment. The foundation of MAGA has always been the belief that America was once great but “has lost this status owing to foreign influence, both within its borders (via immigration and multiculturalism) and without (via globalization)”[20]. Now, as conservatives increasingly question unlimited support for Israel, we’re witnessing the natural progression of Trump’s original vision—a truly sovereign America free from globalist entanglements and foreign control.
V. Constitutional Call to Arms: Restore Liberty, Slash Foreign Entanglements
Our nation’s Founders, in their profound wisdom, left us clear warnings about the dangers we now face. To begin with, George Washington’s Farewell Address explicitly cautioned against “permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world”[21], urging Americans to maintain neutrality with foreign governments whenever possible. This fundamental principle guided American foreign policy for over a century and a half[22].
Washington specifically warned that a nation developing “habitual hatred or a habitual fondness” toward another “is in some degree a slave”[22]. Undeniably, our current foreign policy entanglements—coupled with billions flowing to Israel—represent precisely the dangerous condition our first President sought to prevent.
The constitutional case against these foreign entanglements couldn’t be more transparent. As a matter of fact, the Constitution’s framers recognized the corrupting influence of foreign money and power, particularly on the presidency[23]. They built key provisions to guard against such threats, including the emoluments clause in Article I, Section 9, which states: “no Person holding any Office… shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title… from any King, Prince or foreign State”[23].
At this moment, we face a fiscal crisis that makes adherence to these constitutional principles not merely ideological but essential to national survival. The national debt has skyrocketed to over USD 37.00 trillion [24], with interest costs alone approaching USD 1.00 trillion this year[24]. These astronomical figures make continued foreign aid completely unsustainable.
Given these points, a growing movement of patriots demands a return to our constitutional roots through measures like the Balanced Budget Amendment. The U.S. has recorded budget surpluses in only two of the last 50 years [24]. Currently, it maintains the most significant deficit as a percentage of GDP among all Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development countries [24].
In light of these facts, true America First patriots must recognize that American foreign aid programs simply “do not promote our interests abroad because their strategic purpose is ill-conceived”[25]. Conservative criticism of these programs is nothing new. During the Cold War, groups like the Citizens Foreign Aid Committee argued that such assistance was “a wasteful program fueled by confiscatory taxes bestowed by our government bureaucrats upon a foreign government to do with it as it pleases”[26].
The Constitution explicitly places “the power of the purse” with Congress through Article I, Section 9, Clause 7, which states: “No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law…”[27]. This requirement represents “a constitutionally mandated check on executive power”[27] that has been systematically undermined through endless foreign aid packages and military interventions.
To restore our constitutional Republic, patriots must utilize powerful information sources to expose these violations:
- The Cato Institute, which documents how foreign aid undermines sovereignty
- Antiwar.com for tracking military interventions
- The Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity
For decades, conservative Republicans have correctly asserted that foreign aid “wasted taxpayer dollars, subsidized authoritarian rulers, undermined a global order built on national sovereignty, and left Washington bogged down in foreign lands”[26]. This criticism remains as valid today as it was during the Cold War.
Your action today secures our nation’s God-given liberties tomorrow—let’s crush the neocons in 2026! 🇺🇸
Altogether, we’re witnessing a pivotal shift in American politics. Public sentiment increasingly aligns with our Founders’ vision, as “a growing number of Americans—across both political parties—now believe that the United States should prioritize solving its own problems over trying to solve the world’s”[28]. Recent polling shows “fewer than a third of Americans mark international engagement as top foreign policy priorities”[28].
This momentum reflects what historians describe as a “paradigm shift” in American foreign policy—”moving away from global leadership and intervention toward a more isolationist and domestically focused stance”[28]. As true constitutionalists, we must capitalize on this awakening to restore the Republic our Founders envisioned—one free from entangling alliances and committed to fiscal responsibility.
VI. Rally for Victory: Join the 2026 Midterm Revolution
The time for mere words has passed—the 2026 midterm elections represent our final opportunity to reclaim America’s destiny from globalist puppets. Presently, polls show Democrats holding a concerning 14-point advantage over Republicans[29], with independents giving them a staggering +33-point edge[29]. Yet these numbers don’t reflect the growing America First revolution bubbling beneath the surface.
First and foremost, we must acknowledge the power of our movement. When Tucker Carlson interviewed Nick Fuentes, over 20 million viewers tuned in[30]—proving Americans’ hunger for the uncensored truth about the Israel lobby’s grip on our nation. Therefore, the battle for 2026 begins now.
Action Plan for Patriots:
Nick Fuentes, once inspired by Ron Paul’s libertarian revolution[31], has established the America First Foundation as a 501(c)(4) nonprofit [32] to lead this fight. This organization will be our vanguard in exposing foreign influence networks and evaluating candidates on their commitment to American sovereignty.
Don’t just read—act now: Donate to the America First Foundation at https://americafirstfoundation.org/donate to fuel the fight against the Zionist lobby’s grip, sign up for their mailing list to get exclusive 2026 candidate evaluations and exposés on foreign influence, and share this article far and wide to wake up millions! Tag @NickJFuentes @TuckerCarlson @RonPaul @RandPaul @RepThomasMassie @RepMTG, flood X with #AmericaFirst #NoMoreAidToIsrael #DrainTheLobby #MAGA #ConstitutionFirst #GOPRevolt, and join the revolution to put We the People—not Israel’s puppets—FIRST.
With this in mind, our social media strategy must be relentless. The most effective hashtags to amplify our message include #AmericaFirst, #Trump, #MAGA, and #USA[33]—proven to generate maximum engagement. In this case, every share, every retweet, and every comment builds the momentum needed to overcome the establishment’s stranglehold.
Looking ahead to 2026, we face a critical battle against media and governmental institutions that have lost public trust—only 25% of Americans have confidence in the press and a mere 20% in Congress[29]. As a result, our grassroots movement must bypass these corrupted institutions and speak directly to patriots yearning for constitutional governance.
Thus, the revolution begins with you. Your donation, your voice, your commitment. America awaits its restoration—join us and make history!
