Summary

Dr. Peterson's extensive catalog is available now on DailyWire+: https://utm.io/ueSXh Dr Jordan B Peterson and Amala Ekpunobi discuss her early life being raised in a far left household, the instances that caused her to question the all-encompassing ideology she had been fed, and her rise to providence as an internet and podcast personality, advocating for the truth across party lines. Raised in a far-left activist household, twenty-two-year-old Amala Ekpunobi was once a student organizer for the left. Unanswered questions–and a search for the truth–led her to a complete ideological transformation. Passionately sharing her new conservative values online, Amala became a viral social media sensation. Now the host of PragerU’s popular show “Unapologetic with Amala,” she inspires millions of young people every day to discover the truth, defend their values, and lead better lives. - Sponsors - Black Rifle Coffee: Get 10% off your first order or Coffee Club subscription with code JORDAN: https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/ Exodus90: Is it time for your Exodus?

0:00.0	Hello everyone on YouTube and it's associated platforms and podcasts.
0:20.2	I'm talking today to Amela Epinobi.
0:24.0	She was a radical leftist activist as a young person and has undergone quite a political
0:31.3	and philosophical transformation in recent years.
0:34.5	And so we're going to talk to her about that and about her work with Prager U today.
0:39.7	She's an American YouTube commentator, as I said, working under the Prager U brand.
0:43.6	Her channel, Unapologetic, has a massed over half a million subscribers in a very short

1:14.5	oppressed you are.
1:16.1	And this was the final straw.
