The Brief: Insights from the Inside | PragerU

What are data centers—and why are they suddenly being built everywhere? In this episode of The Brief: Insights From The Inside, Shabbos Kestenbaum sits down with Joe Honan, CEO of Singularity Compute, to explain the data-center boom powering artificial intelligence. Honan breaks down what data centers actually do, why AI requires so much compute power, how much electricity and water these facilities use, and why communities across America are debating whether data centers are worth the cost. The debate is getting bigger than local zoning fights. A House Science Committee probe is now examining foreign funding and potential influence in opposition to American AI and energy infrastructure, citing a report that found activist groups fighting U.S. data center development received more than $39 million from foreign donors. Honan argues this fight is about more than the environment—it’s about compute power, national security, and which country wins the AI race. The conversation covers hyperscale data centers, edge computing, liquid cooling, power grids, water recycling, noise concerns, the Nashville Zoo controversy, construction jobs, skilled trades, foreign-funded opposition, China, national security, orbital data centers, and whether Americans should be optimistic or worried about AI. ▶️ Watch more episodes of The Brief at:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://l.prageru.com/46yupO6 ⭐️ Enjoyed this episode?

What really happened on September 11th—and why do so many 9/11 conspiracy theories still persist 25 years later? In this episode of The Brief: Insights From The Inside, Shabbos Kestenbaum sits down with Gerald Posner, investigative journalist and author of Why America Slept: The Failure to Prevent 9/11, to revisit the September 11th terrorist attacks on their 25th anniversary. Posner explains the official account of 9/11, the intelligence failures between the CIA and FBI, the missed warnings before the attack, and why he believes the evidence points to incompetence—not an inside job. He also responds to some of the most common 9/11 conspiracy theories, including “let it happen on purpose,” Donald Rumsfeld’s $2.3 trillion Pentagon statement, the “Dancing Israelis,” Larry Silverstein and “pull it,” World Trade Center 7, “jet fuel can’t melt steel beams,” the Pentagon missile theory, Flight 93, and unanswered questions about Saudi knowledge before the attack. ▶️ Watch more episodes of The Brief at:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://l.prageru.com/46yupO6 ⭐️ Enjoyed this episode?

The Lindsay Clancy trial ends with the prosecution resting its case—and hundreds of women still showing up in pink to support the mother who admitted killing her three children. How did we get here—and what does that say about abortion, motherhood, mental health, and American culture?  In this episode of The Brief: Insights From The Inside, Shabbos Kestenbaum sits down with Lydia Taylor Davis, Gen Z activist and spokesperson for Students for Life of America, to discuss the Lindsay Clancy trial, postpartum psychosis, abortion culture, chemical abortion pills, Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, and the growing divide among young Americans over the pro-life and pro-choice movements.

As Massachusetts just became the 10th state to remove all statutory limits on abortion — including in the third trimester. The governor signed it in front of dozens of cheering women. So what exactly did they just legalize?  And what ACTUALLY happens during an abortion? In this episode of The Brief, host Shabbos Kestenbaum — who notes upfront that he invited abortion providers to appear and none would — sits down with Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life of America and Students for Life Action, to answer that question directly and without euphemism. Kristan opens with the response that stops the "late term abortion doesn't exist" argument cold: if it doesn't happen, why did Massachusetts feel the need to legalize it? And why were women cheering for it? She then walks through exactly what late term abortion procedures involve — medically, scientifically, and without the language that usually obscures what's actually happening. 🔔 Follow The Brief so you never miss an episode. ▶️ Watch more episodes of The Brief at:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://l.prageru.com/46yupO6 ⭐ Enjoyed this episode?

Fauci's own journal proved he recommended closing the schools. Then he said under oath that he didn't. A doctor who questioned him from day one breaks it all down. In this episode of The Brief, host Shabbos Kestenbaum sits down with Dr. Houman Hemmati — ophthalmologist, biotech entrepreneur, frequent Fox News medical contributor, and one of the earliest public voices questioning COVID lockdown policy — for a comprehensive, evidence-based reckoning with everything that went wrong. Dr. Hemmati breaks down why the concept of "America's doctor" was itself the original sin — the idea that one person could be omniscient, infallible, and immune from questioning. He explains his own background in gain-of-function research (conducted as a teenager at UCLA), why the lab leak theory was always the most scientifically logical explanation, and what Occam's razor tells us about where Covid came from. 🔔 Follow The Brief so you never miss an episode. ▶️ Watch more episodes of The Brief at:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://l.prageru.com/46yupO6 ⭐ Enjoyed this episode?
