And number two, because i believe mr. Prager provides something very important, something very unique and something lacking for most of our policy discourse today, and thats moral clarity. Dennis prager is the host of the widely popular and influential talk show the Dennis Prager show, which can be heard 9 00 a. M. To 12 00 p. M. Pacific.

He is also a prolific commentator, writing a weekly column that appears in townhall. Com, national review, among other places. H
