How Many Radical Islam Sleepers are in the United States? | Mosab Hassan Yousef
Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of a Hamas co-founder, was raised to fight Israel and help take over the West—until a life-changing event opened his eyes. He later risked everything to work with Israeli intelligence and eventually escaped to the United States. Now an American citizen, Mosab joins PragerU CEO Marissa Streit for a behind-the-scenes conversation about why he chose to expose Hamas, how he sees the Muslim Brotherhood infiltrating the West, and why he has become a passionate advocate for Israel, America, and Judeo-Christian values.

Tyler O’Neil Lays Out How Organizations Like the SPLC, CHIRLA, and Antifa Fuel Violence and Riots
Investigative journalist and author Tyler O’Neil joins PragerU CEO Marissa Streit to explain how the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), brands mainstream conservative and Christian groups as “hate groups” while defending groups like Antifa. He exposes how the SPLC’s so-called “hate map” has inspired real-world violence, shaped government policy, and been weaponized by Big Tech and the media to suppress dissent. He also draws concerning connections between radical activist groups like Antifa and CHIRLA, showing how these organizations fueled anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles all while receiving taxpayer funding. If you thought the SPLC was just another civil rights nonprofit, this conversation will shock you.
