Shmuel Sackett doesn't shy away from controversy. A student of Rabbi Meir Kahane, founder of the civil disobedience movement Zo Artzeinu, and a convicted felon for sedition in Israel—he's proud of every arrest, every protest, and every stand he's taken for Jewish strength.

In this raw conversation, Shmuel takes us from his days in the Jewish Defense League fighting Soviet Jewry in 1970s New York, to blocking roads at the Russian Embassy, to moving to Israel and getting arrested 15 times fighting the Oslo Accords. He explains why he believes Jews can never afford to be weak again, why Rabbi Kahane was misunderstood, and what it means to fight for redemption instead of waiting for it.

We discuss the fine line between self-defense and national strength, why he thinks every Jew outside Israel is "broken," his vision for a Jewish state following Torah law, and how he's raising over $1 million annually through The Dream Raffle to fund IDF widows, orphans, and Israeli farmers.

This isn't about politics. It's about identity, destiny, and what Jewish pride actually means in 2025.

In this special year-end episode of None Of Your Business Podcast, Michael and Ushy revisit the most powerful moments from 2025 the conversations that stopped us mid-recording, the stories that challenged how we think, and the guests who reminded us what resilience really looks like. From Jonathan Pollard digging graves on Mount Herzl the night of October 7th, to Noiky Roberts watching a painfully shy student cry tears of joy over a test score. From Ellie Cohanim's family escaping Iran on one of the last flights out, to Yossi Green's 12-hour plane conversation that brought two strangers back to Judaism. From Shlomie Zionce's breakthrough after years of rejection, to Shimmy Jay getting fired from a pizza shop lunch and turning it into his biggest break. From Fally Klein learning Gemara despite reading difficulties, to Abby Wolin opening her business books to the world when everything felt like it was falling apart.

These aren't just success stories. They're pivots, failures, moments of clarity, and the decisions that came after. The conversation covers October 7th, Jewish identity, entrepreneurship, mentorship, grief, faith, career transitions, knowing your worth, and what it takes to rebuild when everything changes.
