If you’ve seen the models of how close the would-be assassin’s bullets came to killing former President Trump, you can understand why many feel that God intervened. But is that warranted? Can we ever know God’s plans or why one life is spared and another is not? Dennis explores this and more, answers your questions, and shares valuable life lessons from his childhood in this week’s Fireside Chat. See the rest: https://l.prageru.com/3WiVheT

DEI initiatives have emerged in business, academia, and government departments in the name of “diversity” and “inclusivity.” Bestselling author Heather Mac Donald and PragerU CEO Marissa Streit discuss how DEI policies that prioritize race and gender above merit are destroying Western Civilization by infiltrating key institutions, such as universities, medicine, and the arts.

Born in the West Bank to a Hamas founder, Mosab Hassan Yousef was groomed for a legacy of terror. But he made a dangerous choice to reject violence and escape the oppression and bloodshed inflicted by Hamas. Now in the U.S., he warns that the ambitions of the Muslim Brotherhood threaten Western civilization. If we let them succeed, it could mean the fall of America and the West.

With John F. Kennedy at the helm, everything seemed possible—economic prosperity, progress toward racial equality, and even putting a man on the moon. But it all came crashing down in an instant. Larry Elder details the incredible career and legacy of JFK. Script: Everything about John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, was appealing: his good looks, his glamorous wife Jackie, their picture book children, Caroline and John Jr. JFK personified how America wanted to see itself: youthful, forward-looking, confident. But Kennedy had his doubters. Did he have the maturity and experience to lead the most powerful nation on earth? Early on, it seemed the answer was no. Within three months of taking office, he botched his first major foreign policy test, a poorly planned attempt to overthrow the communist government in Cuba. The failure, now known as the Bay of Pigs fiasco, was an international embarrassment. His meeting in Vienna in June 1961 with Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev didn’t help matters. Khrushchev pushed Kennedy around like a playground bully. These early failures might have broken a lesser man, but Kennedy, a World War II Navy combat veteran turned out to be made of very stern stuff. The next confrontation with the Communists would be different. That confrontation happened in October 1962. Khrushchev, thinking he could intimidate Kennedy again, ordered the secret installation of nuclear-armed missiles in Cuba, just 90 miles from the Florida coast. Kennedy ordered a blockade of the island, insisting that the missiles be immediately removed. What ensued was a high-stakes standoff—the Cuban Missile Crisis. Kennedy’s advisors estimated 80 million Americans would die if war broke out. The Soviets could expect even worse losses. The world held its breath. This time, it was the Soviet dictator who blinked. The missiles were removed. The world breathed a huge sigh of relief, and America could get on with its seemingly limitless future because there would actually be a future.

If Donald Trump is truly the “fascist Nazi” that many on the left claim he is, why wouldn’t you do everything possible to prevent him from gaining power? You can’t have it both ways—saying he’s a dictator that threatens American democracy but being relieved that an attempt to assassinate him failed. This week, Dennis explores the broader philosophical implications of the attempted assassination of former president and presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Are toys racist? David Johnson had never thought about it when he landed his dream job at a major toy company. Then he encountered DEI, and everything changed. See more here: https://l.prageru.com/4cPcDH4 Script: Growing up in New York, you could say I was a “default liberal.” My political opinions, to the extent I had them, weren’t deeply thought out. They just… were. My philosophy was “live and let live.” Say what you want, do what you want, just don’t physically harm or abuse another person. I also never thought much about my skin color — or anybody else’s. For me and my friends, race was never more than a punchline to a joke. After graduating from college, I got my dream job as an engineer at a major toy company, Hasbro. Everything seemed to be moving in the right direction. And then one day the company decided that all the engineers would have to attend a training session on implicit bias, racial awareness, and intersectionality. This was my introduction to the mad, mad world of corporate DEI — Diversity, Equity, Inclusion. When I heard about the session, I rolled my eyes. All I wanted to do was make cool toys for kids. But, if the company was going to make me sit through some HR mumbo jumbo, I’d play along. The sooner I got through it, the sooner I could get back to the drawing board — literally. So, there I was on a ZOOM call with a bunch of other employees listening to a DEI presentation entitled “Racial Biases and Children.” Children hold racial biases? Adults maybe, but Hasbro’s clientele? It struck me as a little weird. A voice in my head said I should record the session. The presenters, a husband-and-wife team, started by claiming ‘white babies as young as three months begin to exhibit racial preferences’. By two years, they’re excluding other children based on race… By three, they’re intentionally using racist language… By four, they’re showing “a strong and consistent pro-white, anti-black bias.” And, by five, they hold the same racist biases as their parents. You think most five-year-olds are innocent; these presenters think they’re auditioning for the KKK. Hasbro, these mind-readers added, was compounding the problem. Our toys skewed “white” and were therefore perpetuating “anti-blackness.” “For both kids and adults,” they said, “stereotypes in the product and marketing can reinforce dangerous hostility and resentment.” What our toys should be doing, they informed us, is teaching children about racial power and privilege.

Freedom of speech is under assault in America—suppressed everywhere from college campuses to the online public square by Big Tech censors masquerading as "fact-checkers." Americans used to value the free exchange of ideas, but young people today demand any speech they disagree with be banned.

John Quincy Adams, the son of the second President of the United States, became the sixth President of the United States. But the road to that prize was anything but smooth. Jane Hampton Cook, author of American Phoenix, tells how this formidable and intimidating man overcame every obstacle in his path. See more: https://l.prageru.com/3WeGbsb Script: Imagine your father expected you to grow up to be President of the United States. Now imagine you did. That was John Quincy Adams. His father, John Adams, was a leading figure in the American Revolution and the second President of the United States. That’s a lot to live up to. But John Quincy did it… and more. Born on July 11, 1767, near Boston, he grew up in a time of turmoil. At the age of seven, in 1775, he watched the Battle of Bunker Hill from a hilltop near his family home. In 1778, Congress sent his father to Paris to help convince the French to support the American War of Independence. John Quincy traveled with him – a ten-year-old diplomat in training. And what a training it was. For the next seven years, in addition to France, John Quincy lived in Great Britain, the Netherlands, Russia, and Sweden, learning first-hand the art of diplomacy. By the time he returned to the United States in 1785 at the age of 18, he had absorbed not only the customs of these countries but learned to speak their languages as well. After graduating from Harvard, he took up the law. But reading legal documents all day bored him to tears. The world was changing fast, and he wanted to be in the middle of it. Which is right where he landed.

Have you heard of NewsGuard? Its mission is to “counter misinformation on behalf of readers, brands, and democracies.” In other words, it “guards” the news by telling you what you can and cannot trust. Of course, this begs the question: can you trust NewGuard? Sign the petition: https://l.prageru.com/3Y0NuoN Script: Good news! Thinking for yourself is no longer necessary. The new heroes of the Internet will do it for you—companies you’ve never heard of, but who are watching out for your best interests. Meet one of them. They call themselves NewsGuard. A perfect name. Because that’s what they do. They “guard” the news. They make sure you only get the good stuff. The stuff you can trust. Best of all, NewsGuard is backed by Big Pharma, Big Tech, the teachers' unions, and even the government. So, if Newsguard says something isn’t safe to read, you know you should scroll on. I mean, if you can’t trust the government who can you trust? Wait … you don’t like what I just described? Sounds more like a nightmare than the world you want to live in? You like to do your own thinking? You’re perfectly capable of figuring out which sources are credible, and which aren’t. That, you say, is the right and obligation of a free citizen in a free country. If so, welcome to my world. I’m the CEO of PragerU. We’re fighting against companies like NewsGuard every day. We didn’t pick the fight. They did. We have our own take on the events of the day and on the events of yesterday. We’re happy to have you make your own judgment on whether we’ve got it right or whether we’ve got it wrong. But there are many organizations that don’t have that attitude. Like the aforementioned NewsGuard. Let’s look a little more into this company which, by the way, is a for-profit enterprise. PragerU is a 501c3, a non-profit. We’re big fans of profit. Profit makes the world go round. But if your business is, say, promoting COVID vaccine efficacy, and your biggest client is the public relations firm for Pfizer, it’s fair to ask whether you would be completely unbiased when judging a story questioning the safety of COVID vaccines. But that doesn’t trouble NewsGuard. They’re convinced their judgments are free from any taint. Just ask them. They’ll tell you. But who are “they”? Their co-founder and CEO is a Democratic party loyalist. He’s on record dismissing the Hunter Biden laptop as likely a “hoax . . . maybe even . . . perpetrated by the Russians.” The NewsGuard staff, not surprisingly, is mostly comprised of left-leaning activists and ex-journalists. And guess who they don’t like? Yeah, they really don’t like PragerU, The Daily Wire, Breitbart, The Federalist, and other news and opinion sources that are not on the left. But let’s not be too harsh. If you stray from NewGuard’s way of seeing things, they will give you a chance to redeem yourself.
