Timcast IRL #905 Ben Shapiro Tells Candace Owens TO QUIT Daily Wire, Owens Responds w/Dinesh D'Souza
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode 905 aired on November 16, 2023, with Tim Pool hosting live from the Heritage Foundation headquarters following the premiere of Dinesh D'Souza's film 'Police State.' The episode centered on the explosive controversy between Ben Shapiro and Candace Owens regarding her stance on the Israel-Palestine conflict. Ben Shapiro publicly called for Owens to quit the Daily Wire, with Mike Cernovich describing it as "constructive termination" - a legal term suggesting she was being pushed out. Owens responded on Tucker's show. The panel discussed the implications for the conservative media ecosystem and free speech concerns. The episode also covered Antifa's arson attacks on construction vehicles in Atlanta resulting in 61 state racketeering charges, which Tim noted were state rather than federal charges. Dinesh D'Souza appeared to discuss his new film, while panel members including Julie Kelly, Phil Labonte, Hannah Clare Brimlow, and Seamus Coghlan provided commentary on the cultural and political issues of the day.
