Welcome to another episode of The Chicks on the Right podcast.

Very excited today to have with us, Shabbas Kestinbaum.

He's a Jewish activist who filed a suit, you may recall, against Harvard for not protecting Jewish students from discrimination, from harassment.

And more recently, you might recognize him from having the misfortune of being on the same panel as Carrie Prejean

Bowler at a roundtable for the Religious Freedom Commission. And even though Shabbas was a registered

Democrat, he spoke at the RNC in 2024 and ended up endorsing President Trump. And I know our audience

has seen you lots of your appearances

on various news shows because we have played those clips on our show. And you are now host of

the Brief, a show that is part of the Prager You Network. And we want to talk to you today about

that religious freedom commission. But first, because the timing is just

right, what did you make of Tucker's interview with Mike Huckabee?

Oh my gosh, where do I begin? First of all, let me just say as a young person, there are not

many times in my life where I would agree to wake up at 8 a.m., but they're not many of those

yours. So it's really a pleasure to be with you guys. I'm a long-time fan, so thank you for having me. Tucker's interview with Mike Huckabee really exposes what Matt Walsh of the DailyWire often calls Israel derangement syndrome. So if you truly believe that the economic woes that the United States faces. If you truly believe that the reason

we don't have universal health care, if you truly believe it's because of a conflict in the Middle East, then I'm sorry, you're not engaging in reality and you're not engaging in domestic policy. And Tucker Carlson kind of proves that. So a month ago, he went on his Twitter to say, who cares about Israel? If you're still talking about the Middle East, get over it. We want to focus on America.

Yet almost every single episode of his show since has been exclusively focused on Israel and Gaza.

And he's not even asking questions in good faith.

He's asking questions in order to posit a theory.

So according to Tucker Carlson, I as a Jewish American need to be taking a DNA test to prove my ancestry

days of 2,000 years. I mean, these are deranged theories that have been debunked generations ago,

but he's placating and acquiescing to the lowest common denominator of our American political

culture. And it shows for the millionth time, I will state, disagree with the state of Israel.
