Why is youtube recommending conservative "talking points" to me?

You need to train your algorithm.
When you hover over those videos there will be three dots in the lower right hand corner use either not interested or don't recommend this channel to clear the right wing trash from your feed.
On videos you do like you need to do some engagement, watch complete videos, thumbs up (or down it doesn't matter) and comment.
Do that for a few days and your feed should clear up.
I'm a daily youtube user and this has been not been the case for me.
My feed, outside the occasional straggler, is pretty free of nonsense.
Idk I've spent the last year doing what OP says and my youtube algorithm knows me so well I lose hours upon hours. It is like a firehose of all my hobbies. I don't get any politics recommended to me at all, right or left.
And make sure to turn off The setting that auto plays the videos in browser if you mouse over them (don't remember the setting's name). Hovering your mouse over it counts as you watching/playing the video if the setting is on.
