Speaking to his followers and listeners, Turning Point USA founder and Charlie Kirk Show podcast host Charlie Kirk commented on the state of conservative talk show radio host and PragerU founder Dennis Prager, saying that Mr. Prager is in serious condition following a fall a few months ago. Prager is widely liked, particularly amongst the older, MAGA conservative demographic.
Speaking about that matter in a post on X in the evening on Sunday, December 15, Mr. Kirk said that he went and saw Mr. Prager in the hospital. According to Kirk, Prager is managing to fight back against his “condition,” but it is quite serious and so his is having a hard time of it. Kirk also asked for prayers for Prager.
In the December 15 post about Mr. Prager’s health and condition, Kirk said, “Today I saw Dennis Prager in the hospital. He is fighting very hard. The condition is serious but he is making amazing progress. He is still his joyful self, joking, and full of life. Please continue to pray for Dennis. God has his hand on this amazing man.”
Commenters on the post left various messages of prayer, support, and criticism for the radio host. One, for example, said, “Heavenly Father, We lift up Dennis Prager to You as he fights through this serious condition. Thank You for the progress he has made and for the joy and strength he continues to show. Please place Your healing hand upon him, guide his caregivers, and surround him with peace and love. Strengthen him each day and remind us of Your faithfulness. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
Similarly, another commenter on Kirk’s post left a heartfelt prayer, saying, “God, please save this amazing man, who had dedicated his life to helping others understand complex concepts, spoken the truth when it’s inconvenient & stayed true to his principles. Please lay your healing hand on his body & soul. 🙏”
Others left messages of varying degrees of friendliness in which they encouraged God to effect Prager’s conversion to Christianity. One such commenter said, in a typed-out prayer, “Father, please draw this man to You through Your Son Jesus Christ. Comfort him, help him to feel Your presence, but most of all help Him to trust in Your Son Jesus Christ. In His name we pray. Amen.”
On a somewhat similar note, another commenter on the post noted that it is somewhat surprising that Prager is in the hospital months after his fall, adding that he hopes Prager will come to Christ before the end. That commenter said, “Shocked to hear he’s still in hospital. God be with him. If the worst happens, I think he will end up with Christ, regardless of his current beliefs. Would prefer we keep him longer.”
Yet another commenter chimed in and left a message about what Prager’s work meant for them, saying, “Being in the LA market, I had the privilege of listening to Denis’ shows almost daily. I didn’t know that he had a severe back issue that I think was eventually corrected surgically until I saw a picture of him in a wheelchair. Not once did he mention the severe pain he was under while doing his broadcasts. That went on for months, and our knowledge of it did not come from him. But from third parties – listeners. He brought joy every time he was on the air. Prayers!”
