A public fight between Tucker Carlson and Ben Shapiro has split the right, mostly over whether Americans care more about the cost of living or foreign policy.

• Shapiro attacked Carlson as a rich fake for his podcast with Hunter Biden, calling both spoiled elites playing man-of-the-people.
• Carlson fired back that people care far more about high grocery prices than distant foreign threats, and polling backs that up.
• Carlson also said Shapiro is bankrolled by wealthy donors — two billionaire Texas fracking brothers reportedly poured millions into the Daily Wire and PragerU.
• The fight has divided conservatives: some now admit affordability matters, while others insist the money should go to war and Israel first.

Outlook: The affordability-versus-foreign-policy split will keep widening on the right, with Carlson gaining ground as the more popular voice.
