Has Pride Month Gone Too Far? Why a Lesbian Founder Is Fighting the LGBT Movement From the Inside | The Brief | PragerU

Fri, 12 Jun 2026 23:04:00 -0000

In this episode of The Brief, host Shabbos Kestenbaum sits down with Jaimee Michell, founder of Gays Against Groomers and author of the organization's first book, The Gender Trap, for a conversation that challenges everything mainstream media says about the LGBT community and children.

Jaimee argues that sexual orientation and gender identity have nothing to do with each other — and that lumping them together under the "LGBT" umbrella has been catastrophically damaging. She says the gay rights movement should have declared victory in 2015 after Obergefell, packed up, and gone home. Instead, what she calls "LGBTQ+ Incorporated" found a new revenue stream: children.

Did Feminism Make Women Unhappier? Tiffany Marie Brannon Explains | The Brief with Shabbos Kestenbaum | PragerU

Sat, 06 Jun 2026 14:00:00 -0000

Is modern feminism making women happier — or lonelier? Is the “girlboss” promise collapsing in real time? And why are kids, marriage, and dating falling apart at once?

In this episode of The Brief, Shabbos Kestenbaum sits down with Tiffany Marie Brannon to unpack the cultural and policy forces behind today’s gender divide: second-wave feminism, the welfare-state incentives that reshaped family formation, and why single parenthood and marriage decline have ripple effects on education, crime, and social stability.

They also dig into the online economy shaping Gen Z, from OnlyFans and porn exposure to the social media beauty pipeline affecting young girls — plus Tiffany’s blunt take on the “trad wife” trend: Is it real change or another online fad?

Tommy Robinson on the Unite the Kingdom Rally, Immigration, and the Future of Free Speech | The Brief with Shabbos Kestenbaum | PragerU

Sat, 30 May 2026 18:07:00 -0000

Is free speech dead in the United Kingdom?

In this episode of The Brief, host Shabbos Kestenbaum sits down with Tommy Robinson — the UK's most prominent and controversial right-wing activist and founder of the English Defence League — for a wide-ranging conversation about civil liberties, government overreach, and the state of modern Britain. Just days after Robinson led his "Unite the Kingdom" rally in central London, which drew tens of thousands to Westminster to protest the Starmer government's immigration policies, Tommy explains why he believes an entire nation has learned to self-censor — all while a decades-long child exploitation scandal unfolded across dozens of British towns and cities, with police forces, social workers, and local officials choosing not to act.

Did the SPLC Actually FUND the KKK? Tyler O’Neil Breaks it Down | The Brief with Shabbos Kestenbaum | PragerU

Sat, 16 May 2026 14:00:00 -0000

Why was the SPLC indicted? The story is bigger than anyone expected.

In this episode of The Brief, host Shabbos Kestenbaum sits down with Tyler O'Neil, Senior Editor at The Daily Signal and author of Making Hate Pay: The Corruption of the Southern Poverty Law Center, to break down the explosive DOJ indictment against the SPLC.

In April 2025, a federal grand jury indicted the SPLC on 11 counts including wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank, and conspiracy to commit money laundering — all tied to a secret decade-long program that paid more than $3 million to informants embedded in the KKK, the Aryan Nations, the National Alliance, and the organizers of the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville.

But the real question Tyler raises: was the SPLC actually manufacturing the hate it was profiting from?

We also cover:

Why the SPLC labels Moms for Liberty, PragerU, and the Family Research Council as "hate groups" on par with the Klan
How the SPLC classifies groups (and why the criteria matter)
What was the SPLC’s role in Charlottesville
How the SPLC became a weapon used by Big Tech, corporations, and Democrats to silence conservatives
The bank fraud charges that Tyler says the SPLC cannot escape
What the $800 million endowment means for the organization's future
The 2012 terrorist attack on the Family Research Council — and the SPLC's role
What is the SPLC's defense against the indictment
Was there fraud with the SPLC donor money

If you’ve ever asked: “Is the SPLC credible?” “How do they pick ‘hate groups’?” “Why does the Hate Map have so much influence?”—this episode is the deep dive you’ve been looking for.

America’s Cost-of-Living Warning: New York Is the Blueprint | The Brief | PragerU

Sat, 09 May 2026 14:00:00 -0000

Why Is New York So Expensive NOW?

In this episode of The Brief: Insights From The Inside, Shabbos Kestenbaum sits down with Bruce Blakeman to break down the affordability crisis squeezing New Yorkers—from skyrocketing housing costs and tax burden to daily cost-of-living pain that’s pushing families and young professionals out of the state.

But here's what should concern EVERY American, not just New Yorkers: Blakeman breaks down the exact policies that drove New York to this point—runaway green energy mandates, unchecked illegal immigration spending, rent freezes that kill housing supply, pied-à-terre taxes that chase out job creators, and sanctuary policies that tie law enforcement's hands. If you're watching from another state and any of those sound familiar, this episode is for you too.

The Homeless Crisis Nobody is Talking About | The Brief with Shabbos Kestenbaum | PragerU

Sat, 02 May 2026 14:00:00 -0000

Joey Tuccio is a volunteer animal rescuer with Starts With One Today, and he's seen things on the streets of Skid Row most people refuse to look at—dogs sold for crack, newborn puppies found alive in trash cans, animals used for dogfighting, and abusers arrested and back on the streets within days.

In this episode of The Brief, Shabbos Kestenbaum sits down with Joey to pull back the curtain on the animal welfare crisis hiding in plain sight in Los Angeles—and why local leaders like Mayor Karen Bass and City Council members are allowing it to continue.

Is Science Embracing Intelligent Design? Stephen Meyer on The Story of Everything | The Brief | PragerU

Sat, 25 Apr 2026 14:00:00 -0000

Is the universe fine-tuned for life? Is DNA “digital information” that points to design? And why are more people asking whether science supports the God hypothesis?

In this episode of The Brief, Shabbos Kestenbaum sits down with Stephen Meyer — author of Return of the God Hypothesis and featured voice behind the new film The Story of Everything (in theaters April 30) — to tackle the questions people keep searching: What is intelligent design (and what isn’t it)? What do scientists actually mean by “fine-tuning”? Is the “information problem” in DNA real — and why does it matter? Can evolutionary theory explain novel biological information, or does it mostly rearrange what already exists? And why are some thinkers arguing that the “God hypothesis” is becoming scientifically discussable again?

Can DHS detain immigrants without bond—even if they’ve lived in the U.S. for years? Host Shabbos Kestenbaum and Will Chamberlain (Article III Project) break down the legal fight that could change immigration entirely, what it means to be an “alien seeking admission,” and why the courts are split right now.
In this episode, Shabbos Kestenbaum gets Will Chamberlain to unpack the Alien Enemies Act debate, including the question voters keep asking: can judges block deportations in real time — even turning flights around midair?

DHS Shutdown Chaos: TSA Wait Times Explode — Randy Fine on Who’s Blocking Funding | The Brief | PragerU

Sat, 04 Apr 2026 14:00:00 -0000

Why did DHS shut down — and why are TSA lines now hitting record wait times? Congressman Randy Fine breaks down the standoff over DHS funding, the Senate filibuster, and the political fight behind immigration enforcement.

We dig into the SAVE Act (proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote + photo ID to vote), why Democrats claim it’s “Jim Crow 2.0,” and what the bill actually does. Fine also argues the filibuster has become a “fake filibuster” and lays out what he thinks Republicans should do next to get DHS reopened — including TSA, ICE, CBP, Coast Guard, and Secret Service.

If you’ve been asking: Why are TSA wait times so bad right now? Why won’t the Senate pass DHS funding? What is the SAVE Act? Should the filibuster be abolished? — this episode is the full breakdown.

California Waste, Fraud and Abuse: Larry Elder Explains the REAL Affordability Crisis | The Brief | PragerU

Sat, 28 Mar 2026 11:00:00 -0000

California already had the highest gas prices in America before the Iran war — so why is Gavin Newsom blaming foreign conflict for a homegrown crisis? Larry Elder joins Shabbos Kestenbaum to break down what’s driving California’s affordability collapse: taxes, regulations, a worsening homelessness problem, outbound migration, and a state budget heading toward an $18B shortfall.

They also discuss the proposed “billionaires wealth tax,” why major companies and high-income residents keep leaving, the “homelessness industrial complex,” and how one-party rule in Sacramento shapes everything from the cost of living to public services.

Sat, 14 Mar 2026 13:00:00 -0000

Comedian, impressionist, and political commentator Ami Kozak joins Shabbos Kestenbaum to unpack the growing divide on the right over Israel, free speech, and the future of MAGA. From the viral Tucker Carlson–Mike Huckabee interview to the broader fight over how conservatives should talk about Israel, Kozak explains why the phrase “Israel has a right to exist” is often misunderstood—and why Israel is held to a standard no other country faces.

They also discuss the debate over “platforming” controversial voices within the conservative movement, whether the right is developing its own version of cancel culture, and how online personalities are shaping internal ideological battles inside MAGA. Kozak also weighs in on Candace Owens controversies, the rise of what some call the “woke right,” and President Trump’s second term.

Asst Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon (DOJ Civil Rights Division) joins Shabbos Kestenbaum to break down the Minneapolis church disruption case against Don Lemon, why the DOJ says this isn’t “criminalizing journalism,” and where free speech ends and obstruction begins. The AAG also explains how the Trump administration plans on confronting theatrical journalism and judicial activism.

They also discuss the FACE Act being applied to houses of worship, time/place/manner rules for protests, and why the DOJ is using federal tools—including withholding funds—to push elite universities to address religious discrimination and antisemitism on campus.
