Background
Dennis Prager is a conservative radio talk show host and author. Prager and his business partner Allen Estrin founded the conservative 501(c)(3) online media organization Prager University, or PragerU, which works to spread โ’Americanism’ through the power of the Internet.โ It promotes โconservative sound bites that clarify profoundly significant and uniquely American concepts for more than 100 million people each year.โ2Madaline Donnelly. โHow Dennis Pragerโs Conservative Online University Reaches Millions,โ The Daily Signal, November 4, 2015.

While it styles itself as a university, the website footer notes that โPrager University is not an accredited academic institution and does not offer certifications or diplomas.โ According to a Rewire profile, โDennis Prager, has historically fought against what he describes as ‘liberal’ evilsโmarriage equality, feminism, and multiculturalism.โ The profile suggests that PragerU targets middle school and high school children.4Bria Shea. โFracking Titans Spend Millions Proselytizing School Children,โ Rewire, April 30, 2015.

Prager first began broadcasting on radio in 1982, and his show became nationally syndicated in 1999. From 1994 to 1995, Prager also hosted a national television show. Prager received an honorary doctorate from Pepperdine University. In October 1986, he was appointed by Ronald Reagan to the U.S. Delegation to the Vienna Review Conference on the Helsinki Accords.6โBiography,โ Dennisprager.com. Archived September 5, 2017.

Talking on the Dennis Prager show, Prager described human-caused climate change as a โfraudulent, make-believe, created mythโ:15โDennis Prager On Global Warming,โ YouTube video uploaded by user โAudioburst,โ January 12, 2017. Archived .mp4 on file at DeSmog.
โYou know there’s not a grant that goes out from this government unless there is a tie-in to the fraud of global warming? Do you know how many scientists’ lives have been ruined by that fraud? That fraudulent, make-believe, created myth of global warming caused by man? Every research grant has to show a tie to global warming to be funded.
Do you know how many young scientists’ and old scientists’ lives have been ruined because they wouldn’t go along with that? I would tell Donald Trump to reach out to them and bring the real scientists back into science and into medicine. So that America can see real science and real medical research again, not the Soviet-style science that has emerged under Barry Obama from Honolulu.โ16โDennis Prager On Global Warming,โ YouTube video uploaded by user โAudioburst,โ January 12, 2017.

In an interview with climate change denier Ian Plimer, Dennis Prager describes climate change as โonly the latest hysteria,โ comparing it to what he describes as โthe hysteria over heterosexual AIDS in Americaโ:17โLeading Australian Earth Scientist Debunks Global Warming,โ The Dennis Prager Show, April 27, 2009.

โTo me, this is only the latest hysteria. I have lived through so many in my lifetime, that I donโt believe a single one has actually panned out. [โฆ] And then the hysteria over heterosexual AIDS in America, millions were predicted to die from it, Newsweek and Time were culprits there as they so often are. The popular media are spectacularly irresponsible, because hysteria sells and non-hysteria does not sell copy. [โฆ] If it turns out that global warming is a tragedy, then so I should be so judged. In the meantime, the President and others should be judged because they are transforming the American economy and therefore the world economy based on drivel.โ
Dennis Prager on Covid-19
October 2021
In October 2021, after he was diagnosed with Covid-19, Dennis Prager said he had tried to get Covid-19 with the intent to “achieve natural immunity”:18Julian Mark. “Conservative radio host said he constantly hugged strangers to catch covid: โWhat I hoped for the entire timeโ,“ The Washington Post, October 19, 2021. Archived October 20, 2021. Archive URL: https://archive.ph/toY6K
“I have engaged with strangers, constantly hugging them, taking photos with them knowing that I was making myself very susceptible to getting covid,” Prager said. “Which is, indeed, as bizarre as it sounded, what I wanted, in the hope I would achieve natural immunity and be taken care of by therapeutics.”
October 2020
Prager previously appeared on his “Fireside Chat” in October 2020 to echo then-President Donald Trump’s sentiments to suggest people shouldn’t fear COVID. Prager claimed even the elderly had a “minuscule chance” of dying from it.19“Fireside Chat Ep. 155 โ Does COVID Dominate Your Life?” YouTube video uploaded by user “PragerU” October 8, 2020. Archived .mp4 on file at DeSmog.
Dennis Prager: [00:05:26] As of now, about 200,000…210,000 Americans have died of COVID. We will really not know the real numbers for a while because we really will know it based primarily on excess deaths. Because a lot of people are listed as a COVID death when they tested positive for COVID, but may have died of a heart attack or something else.
But anyway, let’s even say that it is that number. You know, about 700,000 Americans, I think that’s the number, say, 600,000 just to be safe, die each year of heart disease. Now why should we not allow fear of heart disease, which kills more than three times the number of people each year that COVID has? Why shouldn’t we allow that to dominate our life? Because it happens every year, whereas the virus doesn’t happen every year? That’s the only reason I could think of. [00:06:28]
[00:06:27] And at what number should it dominate our lives, and by the way, why should it dominate the lives of anybody under 70 or under 80? Your chances of dying of COVID under 70 are miniscule, just miniscule. So why why would it dominate your life? [00:06:47]
Dennis Prager: [00:07:00] There are a lot of people in the medical profession and of course, in the media who think it’s good to frighten people. This is astonishing to me.
You know, I often contrast this world to the value system that I inherited from what we call the Judeo-Christian tradition. Do you know that the you know what God says the most in the Old Testament? And I was probably in the Bible, including the New Testament. What God says the most to human beings. The phrase or the statement, God says by far the most: do not fear. [00:07:47]
Dennis Prager: [00:07:50] The fear it leads you to irrationality. I have no issue with people wearing masks as I do when I go indoors. But outdoors, especially when you’re not in a very condensed crowd, is simply irrational. It’s the function of irrationality, which is a product of fear because the fear is irrational. Why don’t I fear it? I love life, I don’t want to die. But why don’t I fear it? Because the chances of my contracting have been dying from it, even at my age, are miniscule. That’s why. So I don’t want I want to live life, I don’t want to only be safe. [00:08:33]
Dennis Prager: [00:09:35] Thousands of scientists don’t agree with the lockdown, but they don’t follow them. Thousands of scientists believe in hydroxychloroquine, but they’re not even allowed to be on Twitter or on Facebook. They’re taken down. Scientists! It’s not true about “follow the science.” Most science, by the way, has actually been furthered by lone voices or lonely or minority voices. Thank God for those voices. Isn’t that why you go for a second opinion? [00:10:08]
August 6, 2020
In a “Fireside Chat” episode entitled “The Left Is Weaponizing Medicine,” Prager promoted Hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for Covid.
Dennis Prager: [00:01:35] Anyway, this one is it is addressing an issue of the moment that is very, very, very disturbing to me, and that is the the mockery of all doctors who believe that hydroxychloroquine and zinc, and the zinc part is very important, but that hydroxychloroquine and zinc can help people the very earliest stages of COVID. [00:02:03]
Dennis Prager: [00:02:39] You know, people who say better safe than sorry don’t seem to apply it to hydroxychloroquine. Hydroxychloroquine is completely safe. It’s been used for over 50 years. There are people who take it for decades. It is taken by anybody who goes to a place where there’s malaria, and if nothing happens, it’s probably in the final analysis as safe as as aspirin. [00:03:08]
Dennis Prager: [00:03:58] The reason for the the opposition, which is overwhelmingly on the left, is politics. It is the hatred of Donald Trump, who recommended it early on. Just mentioned that in a news conference that he that he heard it. It’s it’s helpful. This caused people who hate Donald Trump more than they love human beings to go crazy over the issue. It’s hysteria. [00:04:28]
Dennis Prager: [00:04:44] Russian collusion with the Trump campaign turned out to be hysteria based on a lie. So we go from hysteria to hysteria. This hysteria over global warming. I don’t deny that the Earth is getting warmer. I don’t deny that burning fossil fuels is is an element in it. But I do deny that the Earth is coming to an end, that this is an existential threat to humanity that demands the radical reorientation of of all of our economies. [00:05:14]
And especially, I know it’s a phony issue because they don’t recommend to nuclear power. Nuclear power is not, is not fossil based and it’s it’s extremely safe and it works anyway. We’re living through another hysteria, the hysteria over hydroxychloroquine.
Dennis Prager: [00:07:53] And now the ridicule of the doctors who who went to Washington, and after 18 million views, I think it was, was it 18 million or 14 million? I thought it was the largest number of views of something like that within a few hours. And then they took it off. Do you know that Prager U does not have a Twitter account? We have been banned from Twitter because we simply retweeted the the news conference of these doctors. [00:08:25]
April 14, 2020
Prager wrote a column at Townhall arguing against lockdowns for Covid-19, suggesting they were not necessary to reduce loss of life.20Dennis Prager. “Has the Lockdown Worked?” Townhall, April 14, 2020. Archived October 20, 2021. Archive URL: https://archive.ph/aiGLI
“As I explained in my last column, modern men and women have substituted ‘experts’ for prophets and priests. Science is the secular religion, and ‘experts’ are its prophets and priests,” Prager wrote. “[O]n what grounds are we to believe that millions would die without ruining the American — and the world’s — economy? Without our being told by an omniscient God, there is no way to know the definitive answer.”
He added: “The number of confirmed infected people is meaningless, since so few people anywhere have been tested for the virus, and we don’t know how many people already had the virus and never knew it. (Moreover, asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic carriers of the virus constitute the majority of those infected.)”
Prager compared death rates from the US to France, suggesting the numbers disprove the effectiveness of lockdowns. He then used Sweden as an example:
“Yes, Sweden’s death rate per 1 million is higher than its Scandinavian neighbors, Norway and Denmark, which did lock down their economic life. But as of the latest report, in the past two days, Sweden, which has almost exactly the same number of people as Denmark and Norway combined, lost 20 of its citizens to the coronavirus, while its neighbors lost 18.”
Prager concluded:
“The left blames President Donald Trump for our crisis (as if only America is undergoing economic ruin and loss of life).
“If they were honest, they would blame reliance on ‘experts’ and ‘modeling.’ But they hate Trump more than they love Americans — or truth.”
March 12, 2020
Prager compared Covid-19 to the Flu on episode 125 of his “Fireside Chat”, where in the same episode he described the danger to smoking cigars as “minuscule because it is not a cigarette”:
Dennis Prager: [00:01:52] About 30 people, they say, have died from from the Corona virus. And I don’t agree, for example, about closing down schools, universities, all public events. I don’t support that, as it happens, I think kids should continue to go to school. [00:02:12]
Dennis Prager: [00:03:09] So why don’t I agree with the school closings, for example? Why aren’t I panicked over this as as so many are, and as the media are and others are? And the answer is it’s philosophical. [00:03:32]
Dennis Prager: [00:05:04] As of this moment, 30 Americans have died of the Coronavirus. Maybe by the time you see this, you know in a day or two with this or next week, whenever you watch it, it may be more than that, but it’s 30. Now, do you know the number of Americans that have died this seasonโand it’s not over, the flu seasonโthis season from the flu? According to the CDC, the Centers for Disease Control in the United States, 34,000 approximately 34,000 Americans have died of the flu. Last year, over fifty thousand Americans, according to the CDC, died of the flu. Why was there no panic over that? I don’t think you have a very good answer to that question. [00:05:47]
Dennis Prager: [00:06:13] Why are we getting numbers on the Coronavirus but not numbers on the flu? When the numbers are so much greater? Well, you’ll say, well, because this could lead to something far greater than than the flu. But that’s what I heard in the past about SARS and about the swine flu and about other outbursts of viruses that have taken place. But none of them led to anything catastrophic. [00:06:42]
Dennis Prager: [00:11:02] But but. There are there are risks that are so minuscule compared to the benefit, like a visit to Israel, like going to class. I mean, I think people should go to class. I think people should go to meetings. People should live life normally. Yes. Wash your hands more often. That’s fine. I’ll give you an I give you another example, my trusty cigar. OK, so we always get some letters. I can’t believe it. [00:11:35]
Dennis Prager: [00:11:36] You know, you smoke cigars. The risk of in cigar smoking is so minuscule because it is not a cigarette. You don’t inhale a cigar. It is done for taste, not for nicotine. So I have enjoyed this since I was 16 years of age. [00:11:53]
Dennis Prager: [00:11:54] Just. One of the. Delights of my life. And in other words, the ratio of the joy versus the risk is so gigantic that all I opt for the joy. [00:12:12]

โSo, while society continued to teach boys to control themselves, it stopped teaching girls to do so. Girls’ emotions and feelings were inherently valuable. And denying this was attacked as sexist, if not misogynistic.
โConsequently, the women many of these girls grew into lacked the ability to control their natures, to control their emotions, or their moods, and therefore lacked the facility to engage in the self-control necessary for happiness and the avoidance of depression.
โAnother aspect of feminism that has probably contributed to many women’s unhappiness was the rejection of femininity.โ

Dennis Prager spoke at the Western Conservative Summit, where he claimed that โthe left has a monopoly on hysteriaโ with examples including โheterosexual AIDSโ and campus rape:39Robert Mainville. โDennis Prager: โHeterosexual AIDSโ And Campus Rape Are Liberal Lies,โ Right Wing Watch, October 17, 2016.

โ[T]he self-esteem movement officially launched by California in 1986 has been at best silly and at worst injurious to society,โ Prager wrote. โThere is no correlation between goodness and high self-esteem. But there is a correlation between criminality and high self-esteem. [โฆ] Yes, people with high self-esteem are the ones most prone to violence.โ
Prager wrote that high self-esteem in children can โproduce a less moral individualโ:
โHigh self-esteem in children does not produce good character, and in fact is likely to produce a less moral individual,โ Prager wrote.
July 2009
Writing at TownHall, Prager claimed that โAmerica’s only hopeโ lies in exposing โthe danger of the leftโ:46Dennis Prager. โAmericans Are Beginning to Understand the Left,โ Townhall, July 21, 2009. Archived September 5, 2017. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/U170b
โThere is only one good thing about the Obama administration’s attempts to nationalize most health care and to begin to control Americans’ energy consumption through cap-and-trade: clarity about the left. These attempts are enabling more and more Americans to understand the thinking and therefore the danger of the left,โ Prager wrote.
โ Right now, America’s only hope of staying American rather than becoming European lies in making these principles as clear as possible to as many Americans as possible. The left is so giddy with power right now, we actually have a chance.โ
2009
Speaking on CNN, Prager said that gay marriage was a more important issue than the economy:47โDennis Prager Thinks Gay Marriage Bigger Threat Than Bad Economy,โ YouTube video uploaded by user โheathr456,โ April 12, 2009. Archived .mp4 on file at DeSmog.
โI don’t think that the press covers always what’s most important. Because, honestly, whatever side you’re on, I can’t think frankly of a more important issue even including the economy, than the definition of marriage.โ

1993
n a 1993 essay, Prager strongly rejects homosexuality. He wrote:50Dennis Prager. โJudaismโs Sexual Revolution: Why Judaism (and then Christianity) Rejected Homosexuality,โ Crisis 11, no. 8 (September 1993). Republished at Catholiceducation.org. Archived June 5, 2004. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/PbWSL
โJudaism cannot make peace with homosexuality because homosexuality denies many of Judaism’s most fundamental principles. It denies life, it denies God’s expressed desire that men and women cohabit, and it denies the root structure that Judaism wishes for all mankind, the family.โ
Without citing a source, Prager also notes, โWhile the typical lesbian has had fewer than ten ‘lovers,’ the typical male homosexual in America has had over 500. [โฆ] Men, not women, are sexually sadistic. The indiscriminate sex that characterizes much of male homosexual life represents the antithesis of Judaism’s goal of elevating human life from the animal-like to the Godlike.โ

Dennis Prager and comedian Adam Carolla began filming a movie parodying political correctness at universities.

In a National Review article titled โSandusky Abused Children, NCAA Abuses History,โ Prager criticized the NCAA for removing Penn State’s football victories after the Jerry Sandusky pedophilia scandal. Prager goes on to compare โthe terrible wrong committed by the NCAAโs rewriting of historyโ to the introduction of the introduction of the Fair, Accurate, Inclusive, and Respectful Education Act in California.61โSandusky Abused Children, NCAA Abuses History,โ National Review, July 31, 2012.

โThat American history is dominated by the contributions of white Anglo-Saxon Protestant males is irrelevant to all those who see history as a feel-good exercise, not the relating of what actually occurred,โ Prager wrote at the National Review. โ[A]ccording to Californiaโs teachers, the purpose of education is not to teach truth, it is to ‘adequately portray the diversity of our society.’โ
โThe lesson the NCAA is teaching young people โ that history and truth donโt matter if enough powerful people donโt want them to matter โ can be as injurious to society as the cover-up was to the victims of Sandusky,โ Prager added.

Prager hosted Australian climate change denier and mining industry executive Ian Plimer on his show.

DP: So you feel that a lot of scientists have sold their souls?
IP: Oh, very much so. Itโs a case of following the money. Itโs a case of following the fashions and the fads. Itโs a case of getting the fame and the fortune which comes with something like this, and weโve seen it before in science, and weโve seen at times that science has made some monumental errors which have been corrected. There is a self-correcting process in science. But itโs got a lag to it, and it takes some time before you can actually get the science corrected by new science.
Plimer also claims that Arctic sea melt is โquite normalโ:65โLeading Australian Earth Scientist Debunks Global Warming,โ The Dennis Prager Show, April 27, 2009. Archived December 24, 2010. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/in0G2
DP: Let me raise the most popular notions with regard to so-called global warming, or now climate change, and have you respond to them. The one that is raised the most often is pictures of Arctic and Antarctic ice melting. How do you respond to that?

When Keith Ellison was elected as the first Muslim to the United States Congress, Prager wrote that he should not be allowed to take his oath on the Koran but rather the Bible:73Dennis Prager. โAmerica, Not Keith Ellison, decides what book a congressman takes his oath on,โ Townhall, November 28, 2006. Archived September 5, 2017. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/500Ru
โHe should not be allowed to do so โ not because of any American hostility to the Koran, but because the act undermines American civilization,โ Prager wrote. โ it is an act of hubris that perfectly exemplifies multiculturalist activism [โฆ] Devotees of multiculturalism and political correctness who do not see how damaging to the fabric of American civilization it is to allow Ellison to choose his own book need only imagine a racist elected to Congress.โ
Prager adds that Ellison, would โbe doing more damage to the unity of America and to the value system that has formed this country than the terrorists of 9-11.โ
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) responded to Prager’s column, noting that โPrager is flat-out wrong when he asserts that Representative Ellisonโs use of a Koran would be ‘damaging to the fabric of American civilization.’ To the contrary, the U.S. Constitution guarantees that, ‘no religious test shall ever be required’ to hold public office in America.โ74(Press Release). โADL Statement on Dennis Prager’s Attack On Muslim Congressman for Taking Oath of Office on Koran,โ Anti-Defamation League, December 1, 2006.

The ADL also notes that Prager is also misinformed, as members of Congress are not officially sworn in with a Bible. Rather, the official swearing-in ceremony is done in House chambers, and the oath of office administered en masse by the Speaker of the House. โNo Bibles or other holy books are used at all,โ ADL notes. โMembers may, if they choose, also have a private ceremony with family and friends. At these unofficial ceremonies, Members frequently solemnize the event by taking an oath while holding a personal family Bible.โ75(Press Release). โADL Statement on Dennis Prager’s Attack On Muslim Congressman for Taking Oath of Office on Koran,โ Anti-Defamation League, December 1, 2006.
