BRAVE AI:

Benjamin Azariah Southworth is a 40-year-old Los Angeles-based podcaster, former Christian television host, and LGBTQ advocate who was arrested on September 3, 2026, on federal charges.

Previously known for hosting the syndicated show The Remix and the podcast Yass, Jesus!, Southworth came out as gay in 2008 and was named one of Instinct Magazine’s “Leading Men” that year. He was indicted by a federal grand jury for threatening to assassinate President Donald Trump, cyberstalking, and harassing interstate telephone calls.

Charges: Prosecutors allege he posted videos on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube from January to May 2026 calling for Trump’s death, including an April 7 video stating, “Kill Donald Trump.” He also allegedly “doxxed” Trump’s personal attorney, Jay Sekulow, by publishing the lawyer’s home address and photos, and left threatening voicemails for the attorney’s family.

Penalty: If convicted on all three counts, Southworth faces a maximum of 12 years in federal prison (up to five years for threatening the president, five for cyberstalking, and two for telephonic harassment).

Status: He was taken into custody at his Westlake, Los Angeles, home and scheduled for arraignment in U.S. District Court in downtown Los Angeles.
