He asked if the left would be morally bound to cheat if they believed this is true. Was Pakman supposed to counter by asking that if one believed that "Hillary should be locked up", would the right have been morally bound to cheat to keep her out of office? I agreed with plenty of Prager's points, but he was off in the woods here and Pakman was right to move on.

​@breakerd1 I wish pakman did know more about the situation in other countries on trans issues cuz prager is exaggerating. There's not a ban to treat kids with gender dysphoria with gender affirming care. The most there is is extra precautions. Prager also left out that despite a trans women holding a national record, a cis woman still has her beat by nearly 500 lbs when it comes to the Guinness world record. You should look up Shaun's video on prageru and fatherhood. It exposes just how much of a bad faith liar prager can be.

Disagree that civility is needed in this case. We're not talking about apples and oranges. Democrats want rights for people without regards for whether they personally believe in them or not. People like Prager want an environment that divorces us from our fundamental tenet of separation of church and state, and allows "MORAL HIGHGROUND" to supersede human beings rights in a free and secular society. Accepting equal footing here as "civil and friendly" means accepting the removal of rights based on religious biases which is exactly what the current establishment GOP would want from Americans.

Referring to acknowledgment that the 2020 election results were valid, Praeger says, "I don't know what that gains us." It gains us confidence in our American electoral process and the overwhelming majority of civil servants - many of them Republican - who certified those results. It gains us the victory of evidence and the rule of law over partisan baseless claims. It gains us respect for the peaceful transition of power.

[@doresearchstopwhining]

It gives us a baseline of reality where obvious lies are not accepted... It's pretty hard to be "agnostic" when one side had a clear plan from the beginning to lie, executed those lies, and then tried to overturn the election based on lies. And then they call themselves patriots yet me being on the other side have never felt so patriotic in my life standing up to them.

[@doviebruder1285]

Yesyesyes!!!

[@rob_mac]

Well said. Prager revealed that he is nothing but a pseudo-intellectual partisan hack. The evidence was presented to republican judges, and election results were certified by many republican officials. Prager is just like right wing media bcs he knows they would have done anything to find proof of dem election fraud, and they didn't.

[@adarkimpurity]

...but the Left failed, so, no.

[@neil2444]

It seems wild to me that he would call his stance "agnostic" which I assume he means it makes no difference what the truth is. It either is or it isn't true. It's not like, say, religion where you can take an agnostic stance on whether god exists and could never be really proven one way or another. It would seem to encourage this idea that truth is relative to the right. They think arguing their points loudly enough and with enough conviction, and they can make anything the truth.

How do you feel about making Florida Ban the Bible from religious schools? Since there’s 25 mentions of homosexuality in the Bible it should be removed from every classroom in the State of Florida, regardless of religious affiliation of the school. Also, God supposedly condemned slavery at least 3 separate times and was used to justify slavery in this country, it promotes the idea that men have the right to use violence as a method of control over women. It contains numerous references of sexual violence against women either expressly commanded, condoned, or threatened by God. The Bible promotes racism, genocide, and mass murder. There is a significant public interest to not promoting this book to children. Also, if anyone’s concerned about a indoctrination here’s some numbers for you: from 1950-2020 (70 years) 330,000 children (that we know of) were abused by Catholic priests and around 80% of the victims were boys. In response, 848 priests were defrocked and 2,572 suffered lesser sanctions. Calling the church sex abuse scandal a “leprosy in our house,” Pope Francis tells an Italian newspaper that 1 in 50 Catholic clerics are pedophiles. Not were, ARE as in right now in 2023. Yes, the Pope stated publicly that 1 in 50 clerics are active child predators. Sunday school is literally grooming and indoctrination by definition, not to mention the word's etymology. I'm interested in your opinion on this book that's unsuitable for children, should it be banned why or why not?

@@trevorstine8647 ok. But please allow me to clarify. Being religious and being a believer (Jesus called them “the faithful” )are two very different things. Jesus NEVER called any of his followers Christians. He called them “pistos” in the original Greek scriptures which means “the faithful”. There is a HUGE DIFFERENCE. If someone says I’m “faithful” (like a wife to a husband) then THEY HAVE TO BE otherwise it’s a lie in the eyes of God. Saying “I’m a Christian” is just a claim …let me give you an example… satanic rock band singer Tom Araya calls himself a CATHOLIC CHRISTIAN.., let that sink in. So of course people being out there doing crappy stuff while claiming to be religious do exist and have always existed duh?? That doesn’t undermine the fact there are TRUE faithful believers. So why am I giving you this lecture ?? Because all you secular , god hating people do not seem to grasp the difference between religious bad people (Jesus called out the Pharisees for being hypocrites) and good religious people (I call them faithful) … so I’ll clarify by giving examples: 1. The inquisition : RELIGIOUS 2. Islamic extremists: RELIGIOUS 3. Prosperity Gospel pastors : RELIGIOUS 4. KZbin guys like Ben Shapiro and Prager : RELIGIOUS Now that said … faithful people( I call them true Christians but there are also Muslims and others ) do exist … so in resume , Prager being such and such and having done such and such doesn’t necessarily mean religion is inherently bad … even a religious person that was bad but repented (Paul from the New Testament is the perfect example ) is still a good person in the eyes of God. We have a judge and executioner ,any religious person knows this and it’s up to them if they want to be truthful to themselves and God or liars … so please do not conflate the religious with the faithful they are NOT THE SAME AT ALL.

[@cameronearls6497]

To me the problem with this argument is that it's easy to say that the correct thing to do was cheat so that Hitler lost, but it's easy to say that because it's hindsight bias. Nobody thought Hitler would do what he did when he was elected in 1929, so someone saying the election should be rigged because Hitler was a fascist was really just guessing. Rigging an election because you don't like a candidate (even if they may turn out to be the worst candidate in history) is still A a dangerous precedent to set.

[@audreymuzingo933]

Anyway framing public sentiment toward America as a love/hate binary is a lazy habit. I love aspects of it, hate other aspects -who doesn't, _really_ ? From what I"ve seen it's usually white-haired people making this accusation, because it's based on outdated paranoia, as with the "Red Scare," and/or its' past use as a coercion tool for getting young men to join the military (or not dodge or protest the draft -to do so meant you "hated" America). But at some point too many people became ... I'll say it, WOKE ... to this silly version of peer pressure, that by the time 9/11 happened it was all too clear what a flimsy sentiment it was, with people who wanted to "prove" that they "loved" America doing so by having made-in-China American flags on their cars for a few years. Even if someone truly hates America a lot more than they love it, that doesn't mean they're a bad American; it could simply mean they wish they could live somewhere else but don't have the means to go, OR they know America just has yet to reach its' real potential.

[@johnglink]

my friend, there is a difference between hating/disliking the current political state of a country and hating/disliking the core values that said country was founded on and has stood by for 250 years.

[@audreymuzingo933]

@@johnglinkBoth the Left and Right have reasons to assert that America is losing its' grip on core values .... but totally different ones.

Because Reps love their country's history and soul, not the situation Dems have put it in whilst many Dems just purely hate America, so, no. You're wrong.

Good on you both for having a respectful talk about all these problems that (my opinion) delusional people have created and foisted on the rest of us.

He is vile. Vile wrapped up in a seemingly respectable costume and pompous vernacular.

Vile? Disagreement sure

[@ADeadlierSnake]

Honestly didn't hear anything here that strikes me as vile. Seemed like a pretty reasonable discussion on both sides.

[@Drainage_Eli]

Wow Chris, do u feel better about urself to think Prager is a vile human being? He has different views but was thoughtful and articulate, but I get the feeling any conservative who came on David’s show would be vile in ur eyes.

[@amstaylorph]

@@Drainage_Eli Mind if I jump in? You gotta be kind of vile to support Trump. Because he himself is an utterly repugnant and vile lump by an enormous number of metrics. So there's that. Prager, is a worn out pompous conservative boomer who looks down his nose and condescends.

[@SpencerfromEarth]

"If you go to school, get married, and have kids you will be happier" Yeah that's really been working out for all the miserable divorced people paying child support. Dennis doesn't realize that not every human is like him and wants the same thing. Some people don't want kids, some people don't want to get married. That isn't a moral issue.

[@antizzle226]

He was so happy being married, he did it 4 times 🤣

[@JMBvideo]

He wants to control people

[@cbeaucrawford]

They cling to 'traditional marriage' but the Bible's marriages weren't love stories they were purchased brides, slave brides and extra wives (concubines) captured in battle. Also a slave owner could force marriage amongst slaves to make more slaves. Is that what Dennis meant by referring to biblical marriage? No, of course they have a more modern view of it now. Their thinking on marriage has evolved significantly since the days of King Solomon and his 500 wives. They also don't point out that divorce is destroying their fantasies of marriage bliss, not same sex marriage equality. They don't ban divorce in red States though. Wonder why? Speaking of unholy alliances, Representative Ms. Marjorie Taylor of Georgia has yet to drop 'Greene' from her name even though Mr. Greene divorced her, calling her an adulterer. Is that traditional of her? Ah, hypocrites...

That's all you got from the conversation? It was obviously off topic to where the interview was intended to go, and it didn't answer David's question of "What evidence?"

[@speaktruth9631]

Yep! And I have viewed his previous interviews with Conservatives....He's a shark.

[@daygon128]

@@jasonwismer2670 It's not like this guy has a network time slot and has to take commercial breaks or end at a certain point. It's a mainstream media tactic that CNN, MSNBC, and Fox use. The interview can go on as long as is needed but instead of letting Prager continue he cut him off before he elaborated on evidence. He tried the same tactic with Vivek, and Vivek just kept talking which is what conservatives have to do in these conversations. Personally, I'm over the 2020 election. Get rid of mail in ballots and require in person paper ballots with ID with a cutoff time of 10pm. Declare a state of martial law and have the national guard count the votes. Would never have this issue again.

What Dennis Prager was describing about the therapist convincing an individual with gender dysphoria that their gender identity is incorrect is essenctially conversion therapy. The job of the therapist is to navigate the gender dysphoria of the patient and determine if this patient meets the diagnostic criteria for the psychological disorder.

[@sigmascrub]

So... every accusation is a confession?

[@amstaylorph]

Of course. But he's a know-nothing dressed up and posturing as an intellect. What a joke.

[@leeriedel9516]

Absolutely correct. What he’s advocating is literal conversion therapy. It’s never worked in history. That’s why therapists don’t do it. It’s cruel.

[@amelliamendel2227]

I've always wondered why a straight would think conversion therapy would work, do they think it would work on them?

[@nelsonth]

@@amelliamendel2227 of course not. They think they are "normal", and hence they could never be persuaded in the same way they think queer and trans people could be. That's it. That's the origin of their confidence in conversion therapy. We are "abnormal", and hence, can be brought back to the "norm" through treatment. And all the failures so far are because we didn't try hard enough.

They are called Red Herrings. Dennis was constantly evading answers or petty-fogging details to avoid being accountability for his larger stances and previous comments.

In the beginning when Dennis says that the left or dems are restricting speech, I would ask one question, which ideology of people in America are banning books?

To be fair the left banned Dr Seuss. Which to that I say FUCK THEM. But, I think the right banning books on the level it is to be an abomination.

[@cyllea8968]

[@surfwriter8461]

Not this kind of conversation that creates the impression of civility between two guys at opposite ends of the political spectrum but one of them, Pakman, does virtually nothing to challenge the egregious lies and distortions of his odious guest. Prager and his organization are purveyors of right-wing disinformation, historically warped commentaries and outright lies that undermine our nation and its fragile democracy. There's no point in having such a person on the show unless you're prepared to confront him with several key examples of how he does that.

[@dr.scanlan6112]

I disagree with Pakman on quite a lot of things, and find him biased to the point of being nauseating..probably not unlike how many feel about Prager. However, I do think that when you take two intelligent people, even from clearly opposing sides, it brings out the best in both. With the echo chamber gone, the level of annoyance goes down for me almost immediately, assuming we are dealing with two people who are willing to listen and speak to each other respectfully.

[@surfwriter8461]

​@@dr.scanlan6112 That's not what happened in this conversation that was woefully lacking in many ways. See my comment above yours for more on why I think Pakman failed miserably in his engagement with Prager. Respect is fine, but failing to challenge outright lies and warped views just to appear collegial is doing a disservice to the audience.

[@leihat3378]

Pakman needs to be more honest or at least show clips of what he proclaims others are doing. Just another "center of the road" FRAUD
