Dennis Prager’s First Public Appearance Since His Injury

In this very special interview, PragerU Co-Founder Dennis Prager speaks with PragerU CEO Marissa Streit on camera for the first time since his spinal cord injury in November 2024. Dennis speaks frankly about his current condition, why he’s still happy, and what he believes about God, justice, and the afterlife.

Dennis also discusses Charlie Kirk’s legacy (including Charlie’s book dedication to Dennis and his commitment to Shabbat), free speech vs. “hate speech,” the confusion around antisemitism, transgender violence and America’s moral crisis. Finally, Dennis shares the big ideas in his forthcoming book, If There Is No God… The Battle Over Who Defines Good and Evil.
