So we have the pragger You guests 0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:47.839 all the time, and you inspire the best out of 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:51.320 us at Breitbart. So congratulations on the success of the longevity. 0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:55.400 So the I Hate Prager You mockumentary with our friend 0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:57.279 Jeff I, who gave me an hour and a half. 0:00:57.360 --> 0:01:00.960 He's hilarious on the show recently. It's so good. But 0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:05.360 tell me about the story behind it. This is autobiography 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:08.040 or biographical for you in a way. It's got to 0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:10.840 be about what it's like to run an organization that's 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:15.039 so constantly demeaned and led about and tarnished and trashed 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:17.640 and none of it's rooted in reality. 0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:20.720 Well, that's why I thought it would be funny to 0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:23.480 make a mockumentary out of the whole thing, because the 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:27.000 story that Jeff Die played in is the story that 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:29.440 has happened to me many, many times. So you'll have 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:32.760 these alleged journalists. They'll come out here and they'll say, Oh, 0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:34.280 we want to get to know you better, we want 0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:36.840 to want to write by want to write about you. 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:39.280 And so, whether it's Vanity Fair or any of you know, 0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:42.319 you know who, they'll come out and they come in 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:45.280 truly with an agenda. They claim to be nice, they 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:46.920 claim that they really want to get to know you, 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:49.400 but they think that you are a monster because they 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:53.120 read on some website like the SBOC that you're a monster, right, 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:55.000 that we're a hate group, and they think that I'm 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:59.280 some evil demon who is trying to destroy America. And honestly, 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:02.680 many of them are very young, and they admittedly come 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:05.920 with an agenda. And then sometimes they're actually willing to 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:08.440 spend some time with us. So they'll come out, they'll 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:10.680 fly out, they'll spend a few days. They'll interview me, 0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:14.800 they would interview Dennis Prager, they'll interview Xavier, and you 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:17.919 see this look in their eyes. It's always the same look, 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:19.560 it's almost like they turn white. 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:21.840 And let's not forget that gang member alan. 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:23.960 Estrin, the gang member out. Wait, they get to know 0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:28.680 alan Estrin, and it's like, what these people are not monsters? Right? 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:32.200 It starts with that, and then slowly, slowly they crack. 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:34.960 You see them crack right before your Eyes're like, wait 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:37.639 a second, I actually think I agree with you more 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:39.920 than I agree with with the paper that I am 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:43.000 supposed to write to for, Because the paper I'm supposed 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:44.520 to write for is telling me to come in with 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:49.120 an agenda and to actually not even seek truth, but 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:52.320 to actually seek the conclusion that I've been told that 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:56.200 I need to conclude. And so those who are intellectually 0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:59.040 honest enough and are genuine, and especially some of these 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:01.919 younger ones who for the first time in their life 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:05.520 they get to sit with a Republican and realize that, actually, 0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:08.800 you know, we're really good people. It's it's eye opening. 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:11.520 And some of them, many of them would call me 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:14.239 months later asking to come work for us. They would 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:17.600 ask for a job, and I thought, what a great 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:21.400 way to explain what prigger you is through the eyes 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:24.560 of the people who are really coming to attack us, 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:26.760 Because they get it. They get it. 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:28.880 If you get a problem with aches and pains, perhaps 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:31.200 you're feeling a little older, a little stiffer these days. 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:35.640 I've got a solution that is Maha Pure Maha medical 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:37.760 grade red light therapy tool.

Yeah, 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:51.480 and you guys have heard me talk about it on 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:54.560 the show in the audience, but I apprager you. Documentary 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:58.720 mockumentary hilarious stars our friend Jeff Die and the premise 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:01.160 is he's a journalist who going out to write hip 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:04.400 pieces about you guys with a known agenda. It's obvious 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:06.240 he's going to try to destroy you. And the more 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:08.360 he digs into it, the more he's actually won over 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:11.440 by not just your content, but by your people. And 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:13.520 this was so I felt very seen when I saw 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:15.320 this because this was my experience at bright Part. And 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:16.800 there's a great call out to bright Part in the 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:20.000 beginning where he's looking which right wing organization should I 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:23.640 destroy and he considers Breitbart before he moves on to Praguer. You, 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:25.920 but this really is what happens. And I've been there. 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:27.880 I was there with Andrew when he was starting the company, 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:31.120 and I've seen people fall around Bannon and fall around me, 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:34.560 and they're always kind of shocked that were normal. And 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:38.240 I'm sort of surprised by that because there's so many 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:41.760 freaks in this country that get massive platforms, and then 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:45.160 when all the productive people who are building things that 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:50.719 last are normal and competent, then they're surprised. It's so bubbled. 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:53.240 Yeah, well, I think what this surprises them is that 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:56.440 we're not just normal. We're good. We're all about goodness here. 0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:58.680 So if you spend a day at Prager, you you 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:00.440 know that that's what our focus is. It just we 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:02.680 want to enrich your life. We want you to live 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:05.400 a better life. We want you to have better relationships 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:09.760 with your family, your friends, your parents, with yourself, right. 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:13.279 We want you to have resilience and self reliance and 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:15.919 to actually live the American dream. We don't want you 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:17.719 to think of yourself as a victim. We want you 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:21.960 to live a good life. We want you to experience goodness. 0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:24.600 And so I say these things to the journalists that 0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:27.680 come here. I think I've never heard somebody who says 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:30.440 these things to them genuinely the way we do. We 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:34.200 are truly genuine about it, and I think that's really 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:37.200 what changes their mind. It's not just that we're normal, 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:39.880 or that we're friendly, or that we're nice to them, 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:43.120 because they have plenty of friendly people in their lives, 0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:46.640 but to have an institution that is really founded and 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:50.159 with the mission of goodness is shocking to them. 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:52.560 What's also interesting to me is someone who is a 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:55.120 Denis Prager super fan before Prager You, Now I'm a 0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:57.240 Praguer you super fan as well. But I've been listening 0:06:57.279 --> 0:06:59.520 to dentist NonStop on the radio. He's my favorite host 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:01.800 on the radio with a lot of stiff competition. I 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.159 was a huge talk radio junkie is. I feel like 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:07.520 there were thousands, maybe tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:10.640 thousands of hours of Dennis producing content and he never 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:13.360 said a hateful word the whole time, and then all 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:17.080 of a sudden he's going to start a online video 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:20.640 series for five minutes, educational for young people, and now 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:21.920 all of a sudden he was going to let his 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:24.680 hate flag fly it was all so absurd to me 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:28.080 from the start. But the people who have tried to 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:31.240 cover you, so to speak, I have almost always been 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:34.040 agenda driven, hate filled people trying to destroy you. 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:36.240 Well, this is why they always fall into these silly 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:39.400 traps where they would call Dennis Prager an anti Semite. 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:43.360 Dennis Prager is a super Jew, right, he's probably one 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:46.040 of the most famous Jews in America, but they would 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:48.040 call him an anti Semite. They would call me a 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:51.600 white Christian nationalist Barbie. In the documentary you saw that 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:54.760 we covered one piece where in Louisiana they tried to 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:58.520 pass a bill on the House floor to actually say 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:02.160 that Prager you is anti se Semitic and discriminatory. Right, 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:04.600 you're calling me an anti simmit I mean, we can 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:07.040 have a Torah thon and we can see who's more 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:10.400 Tora and more pro Jewish. But that's what they would do. 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:13.000 They would log these insults at you, and they would 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:17.000 have these organizations, these NGOs that would support this narrative 0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:20.960 like the SBOC, which is being obviously exposed right now, 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:24.600 and sadly, young people would believe these things and in 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:26.720 many cases, in the case of the journalists like the 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:30.160 ones that we're talking about right now. Their career dependent 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:32.200 on actually buying into that hate. 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:32.679 Right. 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:35.400 There are so many people who work for left wing 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:40.480 propaganda machines that their entire career is about taking bright 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:44.000 Bart down. It's about taking Prager you down. That is 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:48.480 their career, And so they're incentivized to actually propagate hate 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.920 speech about us. That's the iron behind the whole thing 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:55.360 claiming that we're about hate and hate speech. But they're 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:58.839 the ones who built entire careers on making things up 0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:02.240 about Conservatives and Republicans. And they know, and these young 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:04.640 people who work for them know that the moment they 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:07.400 betray them. And I've heard this from the journalists who've 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:11.360 interviewed me that if they betray the New York Times 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:14.440 or Vanity Fair and actually say nice things about us, 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:19.960 they will lose their jobs. Several members of that community 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:21.440 have come to me and said, look, I got to 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:23.400 know you, I spend time with you. I actually think 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:25.360 you're a good person. I think Dennis Praguer is an 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:29.720 amazing person. But I can't publish this article about Praguer 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:32.679 you if I don't turn it into a hit piece. 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:35.439 And so they would say to me Marissa can please 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:37.440 let me know what you think I should do, because 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:39.640 I know I took a lot of your time. Am 0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:42.280 I allowed to make some negative things or give me 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:45.280 some negative things about you? So the article actually gets 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:47.920 published about prager you, because if I don't say something 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:50.440 negative about you, it's not going to get published in 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:53.040 the New York Times. And so sometimes what they will 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:55.400 do is they will actually change the title. The title 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:58.680 will be extremely negative and then you read the article 0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:01.800 and you're like, wait a second, that is such a 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:05.400 compliment you've written about me. I can't believe it. And 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:07.120 they will say to me, you know what, I wasn't 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:09.160 the one who titled the article, and so I let 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:12.200 that go. But because I got to know you, I 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:15.959 genuinely could not write negative things. I mean, there was 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:17.679 an article in the New York Times many years ago 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:21.240 where the author found one bad thing to say about Dennis, 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:26.440 and that was that he was overweight. Okay, it's true. Okay, 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:30.199 But I think the journalists are in a tough position 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:33.560 because some of them are genuinely bad, and some of 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:35.880 them want to do the right thing and they see 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:39.439 what needs to be done, but they know they will 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:41.680 lose their job. They will never be able to report 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:45.240 on the left again if they write something nice about Breitbart, 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:47.319 or if they not write something nice about Prayer. 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:47.480 You. 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:49.360 Yeah, this is right, And I want to take the 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:52.920 conversation here because one of the clever parts of the 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:55.400 documentary is the decision to make the main character the 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:57.559 left wing journalists, and not to make you the main character, 0:10:57.600 --> 0:10:59.880 Alan the main character, or some stand in or fact simile. 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:02.719 And you know that this is a human being who 0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:05.160 writes these articles, and they're thinking about their career. They're 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:07.480 thinking about making money, putting food on the table, maybe 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:09.320 getting out of a rut that they're in in their life. 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:11.160 And they're thinking, how do I get a story that 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:13.920 gets published by a major outlet that's owned by some 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:19.160 giant conglomerate with people with vested interests in a takedown 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:21.720 of a conservative group, And so they have to pitch 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:23.600 it all the way up the chain so they can't 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:25.560 go and sit down with you and follow you around 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:27.520 for a weekend. They like, Wow, she's kind of awesome. 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:30.360 I'm really impressed. They could never write that because there's 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:32.920 an editor, and there's an editor above that editor who's saying, 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:35.600 we're never going to publish this. So this is what 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:40.080 institutionalizes the fake news. And it's another thing that's noteworthy 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:42.839 that what the left does is they constantly accuse us 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:45.720 of their weaknesses. The most famous example of the whole 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:48.240 Russia collusion hoax came from the Clintons were so weak 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:50.720 on Russia, Like that's where it came from. They had 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:53.800 to dependent on Trump. They are the defenders of democracy, 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:56.040 even though they rig their own primaries and they anoint 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:59.640 their nominee. It's the fake news. This is what comes 0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:02.800 up here. Yeah, so we're the real news at Breitbart. 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:04.920 You guys are the real education at Prager. You and 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:07.640 yet we're constantly being told that we're the ones you're 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:10.760 making stuff up. Another example is with the anti Semitism stuff. 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:13.360 Breitbart's owned by Jewish people. We have a Jerusalem bureau 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:15.800 with the Star of David in the logo, and yet 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:17.480 we're told that our comment stuff, are. 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:20.079 You actually admitting that the Jews. 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:24.600 The control the media, just control the media. It's the no. 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:27.280 And this is and we're told that our comments section 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:30.240 is is like a breeding ground for anti Semitism. Like 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:32.520 that was not it's like, it's just stop it. But 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:35.040 they won't stop it. They keep going because of the 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:38.000 corporate incentives. Do you think that could change? Do you 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:39.840 think is there a way to reach people now? 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:42.560 Well, I think you bring up the term anti Semitism, 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:44.880 and I think we can be honest about the fact 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:47.640 that there are there is a huge problem with anti 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:50.120 semitism right now, both on the left and on the right. 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:52.680 And the reason that is the case is because we've 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:56.880 been warning against this, they have cheapened the term anti semitism. 0:12:57.400 --> 0:13:01.600 When you rob wards of what they actually mean, the 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:06.680 words lose their meaning. And the Anti Defamation League, the ADL, 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:11.080 is at fault for really cheapening the term anti semitism 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:14.280 by logging it at anybody for a very long time now, 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:20.400 when true anti Semites are really coming up from every direction, 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:24.240 the word is cheapened. You don't even know, like we 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:28.000 can get Google giggle about the term anti semitism when 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:31.560 it's addressed at me or at you, And then we 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:33.880 can also understand that we have to take it very 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:36.800 seriously when it's coming from certain places on the right. 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:40.240 So so many words I can think of, so many words 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:43.840 have been cheapened by the left. This is what Marxists 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:47.160 do This is what I've noticed in education. Right, if 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:50.720 language doesn't actually mean what it's supposed to mean, then 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:54.640 then there's chaos and confusion everywhere. And so this is 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:57.559 so much bigger than can the media be fixed? Can 0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:00.920 education be fixed? The question is, can we go back 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:04.400 to those first principles of actually have words mean what 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:07.720 they are supposed to mean, actually clean up this chaos? 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:11.920 We have absolute chaos. Things don't things make no sense. 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:14.720 And so how do you even how do you even 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:18.439 converse if award means something to you that doesn't mean 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:22.240 the same thing to me. Can it be fixed? I hope? 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:24.080 So do we have a choice, I mean, we have 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:26.800 no choice? Right, so we fight, right, I don't think 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:30.000 that you're in this fight of trying to have real news, 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:33.720 uh and and real accountability for news. And I don't 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:36.160 think you think that I'm in this fight of education 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:39.680 because either because we know we're gonna win, it doesn't matter. 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:43.040 You know, you think George Washington knew he's gonna win. 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:46.880 Do you think the signers of the Declaration of Independence, 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:50.080 when I can only imagine their hand was probably shaking 0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:54.760 as rich as they were signing this possible death death 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:57.480 wish of the of the Declaration of Did they know 0:14:57.560 --> 0:14:59.560 that they're going to win? I don't know. I don't 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:01.240 know that they they were going to win. I don't 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:03.960 know whether I'm gonna win and in the realm of education, 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:06.200 or you're going to win in the in the in 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:09.240 the in the realm of of media. It doesn't matter. 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:12.640 It doesn't matter. We fight for good, all of us. 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:15.560 Anybody who's watching this, they know exactly what I'm talking about. 0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:18.360 This is a fight between good and evil. It's it's 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:21.960 it's the fight between the decent and the indecent. All 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:25.160 we have to do, as decent people is fight the indecent, 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:28.920 fight indecency. We may win, we may not win. This 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:31.480 isn't that's in God's hands. But I know that when 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:35.960 I meet my creator, when I'm an old lady sitting 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:38.120 with my grandkids, I want to know that I've done 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:41.960 everything possible to clear out the chaos for truth to 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:45.160 be really real truth. Not your truth, might not my truth, right, 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:48.520 none of that, and so that that that is really 0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:51.960 the real question. Are decent people willing to step up 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:54.400 even without the promise of winning. 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:57.080 Well, my truth is that I hate prager use a 0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:59.960 terrific mockumentaries, very short, which I love, so it's bite size, 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:01.280 you guys can get it. It's the length of a 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:04.760 TV show, super funny, and just the first five minutes alone, 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:05.680 it just absolutely cooks. 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:07.280 Everybody needs a good laugh these days. 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:09.440 It is. It is, but it's a very conscious choice 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:12.080 that you're making light of a very serious problem, which 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:15.320 is hip piece journalism that's very malicious, and they changes 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:16.680 your life. I said, I've had to deal with it 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:19.680 on a personal level, just the hit pieces of horrible 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:22.760 things that are unfair and untrue written about us. Did 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:25.040 you have any examples when this is being put together 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:27.600 about your life about really unfair journalists. Is there any 0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:30.720 story that you can relay from your past you thought, specifically, 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:33.680 I'm thinking of this individual or this outlet when this 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:34.560 thing is coming together. 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:36.880 I mean, I have so many of them. I remember 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:38.680 one time I was on a flight to Dallas. I 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:40.920 happened to sit next to a young woman from Stanford. 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:42.720 She had no idea who I was. We were chatting 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:46.320 for a while, and I was incredibly encouraging of her, 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:50.960 her studies, of her life, and she really liked me. 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:53.840 Let's just say that and Eventually she looked over and 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:55.560 she said, you know, we spoke a lot about me, 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:57.760 but what do you do? Who are you? And I said, well, 0:16:57.800 --> 0:16:59.760 I'm Marissa Strike, I'm the CEO of Prager You have 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:02.200 your to Praguer You. And she looked at me. She's like, 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:05.679 oh my god. I studied communication at Stanford University and 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:08.240 I actually did a study about Prager you. I thought 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:12.520 you were a gateway drug for propaganda and right wing extremism. 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:15.640 I actually have an essay written about you and your company. 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:17.840 I said, well, now you know it wasn't true, do you. 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:21.040 She's like wow, it was like totally educational for her. 0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:24.280 And then there's the great story of Nelly Boles, who 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:27.040 really got I don't know if the word is red pilled, 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:29.600 but she came out, she got to know Dennis Prager, 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:31.560 she got to know all of us, and she's one 0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:34.720 of those stories who if you read her book, I 0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:36.760 encourage you to read about because she has a chapter 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:40.280 about Praguer You where she knew she came out to 0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:42.919 write a hit piece about Prager You, and as she 0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:45.399 got to know us better, she just couldn't. She couldn't 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:48.760 get herself to do that Luckily, she had so much 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:52.840 integrity that she was willing to leave that entire I 0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:56.600 guess you could call it fake news industrial complex. She 0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:58.800 was willing to leave the entire thing and start something 0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:01.920 new with Barry Weiss. So we've had all kinds of 0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:05.520 success stories, stories that are more famous, like Delli's story. 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:08.879 And then the Stanford student who who knows where she 0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:11.200 is right now? Hopefully she's doing good things right now. 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:13.600 She runs the Free Press with Barry wife. You who 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:16.080 aren't familiar, So okay, so I praguer you ever you 0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:17.760 go to pregger you dot com as or a specific 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:19.120 url you want to give. 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:22.159 Out to your website. Yeah, right, there, have fun, enjoy it. 0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:22.919 We need to smile. 0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:25.040 Yeah, you will like it. You will laugh, and it's 0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:26.600 not long. Watch with some friends so that they will 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:31.399 enjoy it. But let's discuss what you are doing now, 0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:34.760 because why the reason why the documentary works. The documentary 0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:37.760 works is because you guys are all about education. You're 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:42.520 not about politics. Inevitably, everything is politics these days. The 0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:44.960 NFL draft is politics these days. I don't know why 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:48.119 that is, but we got there. But overall, you're trying 0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:50.960 to take politics out of education more than you're trying 0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:53.520 to add it in. And I would submit that a 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:56.720 lot of the public schools are injecting the politics. And 0:18:56.760 --> 0:18:59.240 I got into this with Jill recently talking about the 0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:01.560 scholastic books, which is the bane of my existence, which 0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:05.119 I complained about more than any other American. But what 0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:07.560 you guys are doing is you're just the initial mission 0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:09.520 statement is just education, right, I mean they give it 0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:10.240 to me in your words. 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:14.479 Look, I'll be honest, it's what is education, inculcation. So 0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:18.119 people will say, well, inculcation is indoctrination, right, you have 0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:20.800 a perspective which you're teaching, right, And I'm not going 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:23.199 to be by I'm not gonna lie about it. I 0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:25.439 believe that we need to teach goodness. I would like 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:28.760 to indoctrinate young American kids to believe in goodness and 0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:32.920 to pursue ethics and morality and virtue. And so if 0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:37.280 you if you want to call me an indoctrinator, because 0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:40.040 that's what I want to teach, then so be it. 0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:41.800 I'm not gonna I'm not gonna lie that. I have 0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:44.520 a perspective that I think is very important. I think 0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:47.240
