In this episode of Western Conservative, we break down the two major factions battling for control of the modern Right — and what their war means for MAGA's future.

• Neocons vs. Populists:

  • Shapiro, Hannity, Levin, Crowder vs. Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Fuentes, Dave Smith.

  • Neocons push pro-Israel, pro-Ukraine, interventionist policies.

  • Populists lean non-interventionist, culturally Christian, libertarian-leaning, and conspiracy-friendly.

• The Fight for MAGA's Future:

  • Charlie Kirk's death becomes a battlefield for narratives about Israel and the direction of the movement.

  • Tucker's camp dominates online culture; neocons still control much of the federal bureaucracy and Trump's policy team.

  • Gen Z overwhelmingly aligns with the Tucker/populist worldview, signaling where the movement is heading.

The conservative movement is deciding what comes next — and only one side can define the future.
