Real Talk with Marissa Streit | PragerU

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.
