Dennis Prager joins the show to defend and discuss the assassination of President Donald Trump and the question of whether or not God saved President Trump from being killed by an anti-Semite. Charlie and Dennis discuss the possibility that God did save Trump, and why it is so hard to be a tumbler in the face of a bullet that could have killed a president. Charlie also discusses CNN's character assassination of him, and his thoughts on the possibility of God saving President Trump. If God saved Trump, why did he have to be shot? Does God have a plan for Trump s life? Does he have a purpose for his assassination? Is he a victim of self-defense, or is he the victim of an attack by a would-be assassin? What does God have to do with all of this, and how did God save Trump from the bullet that would have killed him? The answer to all of these questions and more is simple: God did not kill Trump, but did He prevent the bullet from being fired at Trump? This is a question we should all be asking God to save President Trump, or did He just let the bullet come to his rescue? Charlie and I agree that God saved him from being shot by a crazed gunman?

00:00:58.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:02:08.000That your life's work has this force-multiplying effect.
00:02:13.000Dennis, there are several things I want to discuss with you, including CNN's character assassination of me, because I felt as if you could help me through that.
00:02:22.000But first, I want to go through the assassination attempt of Donald Trump.
00:02:29.000Your analysis, I thought, was terrific and very clear.
00:02:33.000We're eight or nine days removed from that.
00:02:35.000This is the first time a president or former president has been shot since Ronald Reagan in nearly 40 years.
00:02:44.000Nine days later, what are your thoughts, Dennis Prager?
00:02:46.000Well, pretty much what they were immediately, that it was more or less inevitable.
00:02:52.000That was the title of my column last week.
00:04:19.000You can't say with certitude God did, and you can't say with certitude God didn't.
00:04:26.000You have one obvious, and I won't spend a lot of time on this, but Whenever people say, and I totally understand their saying, it seems that God saved Trump.
00:04:40.000Why didn't he save the retired fire chief?
00:05:18.000In fact, I would argue that the odds are 51-49 that he did.
00:05:25.000And we don't know God's ways, and we don't know his plan or purpose for life.
00:05:31.000And you said in your fireside chat, which I listen to every single episode, Dennis, by the way, that Donald Trump's response to getting shot showed that he was larger than life.
00:05:43.000Dennis, you don't know who a person really is until they're in a moment of crisis.
00:05:52.000I mean, that was a larger-than-life response.
00:05:56.000And, you know, with all the talk, he's a narcissist, he's self-involved, he's an egotist and all of that, and there is certainly truth to that.
00:06:21.000And the reaction after the assassination, Dennis, where you had hundreds of thousands of people, including some people that were working for congressional staffers, saying, you missed.
00:06:35.000Dennis, we get to that place, as you say, because when you call somebody a Nazi, when you call somebody a fascist, Why wouldn't you then want to assassinate him?
00:06:45.000Now, I found it to be interesting, Dennis.
00:06:48.000The very same people who were saying that Donald Trump is Hitler, moments later were saying, we're praying for Donald Trump and a speedy recovery.
00:07:42.000Did they believe that Russia and the Trump campaign colluded?
00:07:46.000Did they believe that the grandfather of Jewish grandchildren, the father of a Jewish daughter, People said that Nazis are fine people.
00:07:57.000They believe that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation.
00:08:02.000The list of lies that they tell, that they really believe America was founded in 1619, that it's a systemically racist country, it's endless.
00:08:11.000So I would say that their first statement of it, they don't believe, and that over time if you say anything enough, You can come to believe it.
00:08:47.000If you believe what you say, are you a liar?
00:08:51.000Now, if you say that Trump said that Nazis are fine people at Charlottesville, even Snopes, which is left-of-center fact-checker, said it's false, just plain-out false.
00:09:07.000If you read Snopes and you watch the Steve Cortez video made six years ago on PragerU, which has over 10 million views, about the Charlottesville lie, and you still say it, Do you believe it?
00:09:30.000As a general rule, which is not directly answering your question, I hope I did directly answer it, but if not, rephrase it and I'll try again.
00:09:40.000People believe, in general, what they want to believe.
00:10:28.000Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA has been accused, credibly, by other conservatives of having an anti-Semitism problem within its ranks.
00:10:38.000Eric Erickson wrote in a post that Turning Point USA was looking like not just a drifting operation but an anti-Semitic drifting operation.
00:10:45.000Ben Dominich, a co-founder of the Federalist, wrote if Charlie Kirk remains the head of TPSA, the right has an anti-Semite problem that will follow them into the coming elections.
00:10:54.000So Dennis, I guess I'm an anti-Semite now.
00:11:11.000It was ultimately not passed by the Senate, but the Democrats passed the resolution condemning PragerU because they're using PragerU materials in Louisiana public schools.
00:11:22.000Five times they said we're anti-Semitic.
00:11:25.000I'm Jewish, Alan Esper is Jewish, and Marissa Sprite is Jewish.
00:11:29.000Three people who run the organization.
00:11:32.000So they use these terms because all the left does, including The Times, is smear.
00:14:04.000But lovers of Israel, or defenders of Israel, which is more important than even lovers, is a separate issue.
00:14:11.000Let me give another example, which I did give to the New York Times.
00:14:14.000When you and I spoke at Arizona State, folks, those of you listening or watching, you probably don't know this because Charlie would not have told you.
00:14:44.000But he has incorporated the Sabbath, the Jewish Sabbath, like, for example, not using his cell phone for 24 hours.
00:14:55.000Do you know any anti-Semites who speak to a mostly non-Jewish audience about the virtues of Shabbat?
00:15:06.000Folks, the absurdity of it is you can choke on it.
00:15:10.000But hey, I've been called an anti-Semite.
00:15:13.000University of Wyoming, when I spoke there, they said, oh, you know, and the usual, you know, six term, sexist, tolerant, xenophobic, homophobic, Islamophobic, racist, bigoted, and anti-Semitic.
00:15:26.000But no, but the point, the bigger point is this.
00:15:30.000What the left has done has raped, and I use that term all the time.
00:15:40.000And anti-Semite, and Hitler, and all of that, and genocide, they have been raped.
00:15:47.000And if you look it up in the dictionary, there are two definitions to rape, and that is the physical, horror, sexual rape, and the non-sexual rape, like the rape of the rainforest, a term that is frequently used.
00:16:04.000So, they are raping language when they speak of you as an anti-Semite.
00:16:11.000And Dennis, just so everyone understands the timeline, and thank you for defending me, Dennis, your true friend, is that I was preparing to speak in front of the RNC in a primetime capacity, which is a great honor, I have to say.
00:16:27.000And as I'm preparing for my speech, without them ever asking for comment, two hours before they drop this story, the New York Times does.
00:16:36.000I'm not prepared to deal with this story at this time.
00:16:38.000You know, preparations, logistics, and then CNN takes that story before I'm ever able to defend myself.
00:16:44.000Andrew, by the way, our amazing PR guy and producer, was on the phone yelling at them.
00:16:49.000They said, sorry, the story is the story.
00:16:51.000And before I was able ever to defend myself, CNN was calling me an anti-Semite while I was speaking for 10 minutes straight on television.
00:16:59.000Well, you... What they loathe about you, among many things, obviously, is you're white, you're spectacularly effective, but done with the USA.
00:17:30.000Yeah, I am kind, but this is not an example of my kindness.
00:17:33.000It's just the fact what you did is remarkable.
00:17:36.000Anyway, you have You threaten them, and you're Christian, and you're white, and you're male, and so you must be, by almost definition, if you're a conservative Christian, to the New York Times, the odds are you're an anti-Semite.
00:17:57.000And it's, uh, they do it through innuendo and a character assassination.
00:18:02.000And so, you know, Dennis, the best way I'll get back at them, and I'm still counting on you to write the forward because I'm working on it, is my book on the Sabbath.
00:18:10.000And that's the best way to get back on them, is send them a signed copy.
00:18:39.000Americans are tired and frustrated by a stalling economy, inflation, endless wars, and the relentless assault on our values.
00:18:44.000Thankfully, there's companies like Patriot Mobile that still believe in America and our Constitution.

00:19:41.000As a Jew, as an American, and I guess even more important as a lover of truth, and it sounds so
00:19:51.000cliched, at least my credentials as a Jew are pretty severe.
00:19:56.000I've written, I mean, I just gave a few earlier.
00:19:59.000I have written the most widely read English introduction to Judaism.
00:20:24.000And Simon & Schuster is publishing another edition, updated with the post-October 7th writing, that is coming out in a few months, called Why the Jews.
00:20:36.000My life has been largely devoted to this.
00:22:06.000When I was in Greenland, I didn't think, oh man, am I out of it?
00:22:10.000I just thought, wait a minute, I have my wife here, I have Alan and his wife with me, I have a hundred people that I really care about, listeners to my show who came with me, and I realized, life continues.
00:22:29.000The people who live in Greenland, and only 50,000 people live in this giant, giant island.
00:22:35.000It's second to only Australia's size as an island.
00:22:39.000These people don't think they're out of it.
00:22:56.000That's the life of people living in New York City?
00:22:59.000New York City, it may be the financial center of the Western Hemisphere, but for the vast majority of its inhabitants, that plays no role in their life.
00:23:11.000Their life is exactly what I just described.
00:23:14.000I get married, I have friends, I have hobbies, I have children, I go or don't go to church.
00:23:35.000I learned in yeshiva, the Jewish religious school, which I attended till 19, I learned a great phrase that is normative Judaism.
00:23:46.000Every human being should say, I'll even say it in Hebrew, bishvili mirvah haolam.
00:23:53.000For me the whole world was a it's a it's a very beautiful it's not narcissistic not egotistic but one should regard that God made this world for me and it's for me if I'm in Greenland or New York or Tokyo so that that was a very Powerful sense that I got when I was there.
00:26:41.000Well, I guess my question, Dennis, is that do you think that certain people, I don't know if my nature, I could in the winter only see the sun for an hour, in the summer only see night for an hour, and do you think that certain individuals, they cannot exist in the extremes?
00:27:01.000Well, it depends what the extreme is, but in this instance, I think I could.
00:27:08.000I don't know if you could, only you know.
00:27:11.000And by the way, I'm not sure I know if I could.
00:28:50.000I don't know how profound it is, but I do know, Jack, the way to accomplish something in life is to do something regular instead of a vast amount periodic.
00:29:09.000You know, in light of that, Charlie, you'll really get a kick out of this, although I'm so flattered.
00:29:15.000You know me so well, you might have heard me say this.
00:29:19.000Are you familiar with how I reacted when I got my latest book of my Bible commentary?
00:29:26.000I hope you're not, because you'll get a kick out of this.
00:29:29.000So when Deuteronomy arrived, Numbers is coming out this year, so four out of the five books will have been published by the end of this year.
00:29:37.000By Christmas time, the Rational Bible Volume 4 will be out.
00:29:41.000So when Deuteronomy came in the mail, and it's beautifully, I insisted on it, it's beautifully I even choose high-quality paper.
00:30:57.000If you do it regularly and you do it with discipline and intentionality, it is similar to compound interest in investing.
00:31:06.000It is remarkable what you're able to achieve.
00:31:12.000Did you know that since 1980, China and India's fossil fuel use has soared 600% and 700% respectively?
00:31:19.000During that time, China's life expectancy shot up 14 years, and India soared by 17 years.
00:31:26.000Seems a far cry from AOC's alarmist message that if we do not adopt her extremist policies and ideas, life would end, incomes would crater, and the world would end in 12 years.
00:31:37.000Famines have been wiped out because we can move food quickly and efficiently, because American energy saves lives.
00:31:44.000And in America, we produce that energy more cleanly than anywhere else on Earth.
00:31:54.000Go to oilfacts.com and get educated today on these critical facts, the need for American energy, and what we can do to keep billions more from catastrophic deaths from happening.
00:32:11.000These facts are brought to you by the Prairie Operating Group, dedicated to safe and responsible production of American energy.
00:32:21.000There is another advantage, which you have not heard me say, that since we're discussing it, you've provoked this, which is the beauty of dialogue.
00:32:33.000Well, you know, I do Dennis and Julie and This podcast each week and I realize is as open as I am on my own programming and being in dialogue with someone like with you now, it draws more thoughts out of which it's inevitable.
00:32:50.000So here's another one on the on the beauty of a little regularly as opposed to a great amount irregularly.
00:33:00.000And that is you won't have burnout because you If you do a little regularly, that means on the day that you're doing that little, you will have time to play.
00:35:17.000Continue on that thought about the Shabbat.
00:35:19.000Well, since time is fleeing, I do want to add one thing on this disgusting charge against you of anti-Semitism.
00:35:32.000By sheer coincidence, I had nothing to do with this, just want you to know.
00:35:37.000So my younger son has started doing a podcast, and if I didn't think he was wonderful, I would have told him gently, you know, this may not be your calling, but I think he's really... He has talent.
00:35:52.000So his name is Aaron Prager, and he has a thing, a podcast, AP Unfiltered.
00:36:09.000And you know, you'll do what you want with it or nothing.
00:36:12.000But I really, I wanted you to know, if there was an inkling in the Prager family, you know, beware of Charlie Kirk, I don't think he would have devoted his whole podcast to your answering a student at the University of Alabama On the race issue.
00:36:29.000I just, you know, just thought your listeners might want to know how revered you are in the Prager household.
00:36:37.000I got that email from you this morning, and I thought it was that you sent to him, so it's very nice to know that it was completely... Yeah, no, I sent it to you.
00:36:45.000I sent it to you, and it's like 15 minutes.
00:38:20.000So the question is, and The obvious one, how will she do?
00:38:28.000But if I have one minute, I want to make a point that I made last week about the convention, and I've made it all of my life, the staggering error of all Republicans, virtually all if not all, that is they attack their opponent, they don't attack the left and the Democratic Party.
00:38:55.000When they shouted last week, Joe must go, I got on the radio and said, big error.
