Jillian Michaels Explains the Rise of Extremism and Conspiracy Thinking Among Young Americans

PragerU Real Talk with MarissaNov 19, 2025

Jillian Michaels joins PragerU CEO Marissa Streit for a powerful conversation about her evolution from fitness icon to political commentator, and why she felt morally obligated to speak out. Describing herself as a “purple person,” Jillian explains how the transgender medicalization of minors, America’s obesity epidemic, and the corruption of Big Food and Big Pharma pushed her into the public fight, even at personal cost to her family. She also warns that Charlie Kirk’s death has created a dangerous cultural vacuum and calls out major podcasters who are helping mainstream extremist ideas to disaffected young men.
