Dennis Prager and PragerU CEO Marissa Streit discuss the April 2026 attempted assassination of President Donald Trump and what it says about the current state of political rhetoric in America.

An opinion piece in The New York Times recently accused Israel of committing “war crimes” for taking out Hezbollah terrorists by detonating explosives in pagers and walkie-talkies. If Israel drops bombs, they’re labeled mass murderers. If they target terrorists' communication devices, it’s a “war crime.” Is there anything Israel can do to defend itself against those who want to exterminate it? Learn more about your ad choices.

Dennis was brought to Washington, D.C. to debate those who claim Israel is an apartheid state that is committing genocide. The left understands that if you say anything enough—no matter how crazy, absurd, or factually incorrect it may be—people will believe it. That is why they toss around terms like “racism,” “apartheid,” and “genocide” without any regard for their true meaning. The left is cheapening words, destroying language, and with it, truth itself.

According to a high school teacher, a student’s statement that “only women menstruate” is merely an opinion. Why are we told to “follow the science” but then mandated to ignore basic biology?

Why don’t people fight obvious evils? If you can’t tell that Hamas is as evil as the Nazis were, it is because you refuse to do so.
