In this segment, Dennis Prager and his producer discuss recent media coverage of Donald Trump’s visit to a McDonald’s restaurant, criticizing the New York Times for its alleged bias and historical inaccuracies. Prager highlights a Daily Telegraph report that a McDonald’s franchise in Alameda, California, allegedly required employees to keep silent about Vice President Kamala Harris’s alleged summer job there, a claim originally made by Trump. The hosts question the lack of corroborating evidence for Harris’s employment, contrasting it with the readily available proof of Trump’s own McDonald’s appearance. Throughout, Prager attacks mainstream media for perceived falsehoods, praises Trump’s connection with ordinary Americans, and dismisses elite criticism, while interspersing personal anecdotes and rhetorical flourishes.

Trump slinging fries and smearing Harris takes turn behind a McDonald's counter. Yes, slinging fries, and they make fun of him because he has cufflinks. This is a news piece mocking Donald Trump for doing blue-collar work while wearing cufflinks. As opposed to a button-down, not collar, but button-down sleeve. Do you understand the lengths to which the New York Times will smear Donald Trump, will smear any Republican who presents a threat to their hegemony? You know what they are? They're not self-aware. There's no sense that we have to feign being truthful. It is not an issue. If we have to lie about the Trump collusion with Russia, we'll lie about the Trump collusion with Russia. If we have to lie about the Hunter Biden laptop, we'll lie about the Hunter Biden laptop. If we have to fire an editor because he published a Republican senator, Tom Cotton, right, in the opinion page, then we'll fire him. The man had, I think, 30 years experience with the New York Times. He was fired for publishing a Republican senator. That's the New York Times. The newspaper that denied that there was a famine in Ukraine. The rot of the New York Times runs deep and long. I don't know if it was ever honorable. It virtually didn't report the extermination of the Jews during World War II, the famine in Ukraine in the '30s. Oh, oh wait, they, according to Castro himself, You should see our video at PragerU on Castro. It's not out yet. Oh, it's not out yet. All right. I don't know what I've watched that's out because I watch, obviously see them in advance. They— it was the New York Times that rescued the Castro revolution. Herbert Matthews.
They thought Pol Pot was going to be great.
Did they? They thought Pol Pot was going to be great too? So is the New York Times always wrong? Yeah, it gets close to being always wrong. Wow.
We have McDonald's clips if you want to show the McDonald's clips.
We have— I want, I want to get for you, uh, the, uh, the Telegraph piece, folks. Telegraph. McDonald's not speak about Harris. Let's see if that comes up. Mm, yep, I got it. All right. McDonald's branch swears employees to secrecy over Kamala Harris's employment history. This is the Daily Telegraph, one of the few great newspapers on earth. Staff at a branch of McDonald's have been sworn to secrecy about whether Kamala Harris ever worked there after Donald Trump accused her of lying about having worked there. I'll bet— did anyone report this other than the Daily Telegraph? You haven't seen it. Employees at the franchise in Alameda, California told The Telegraph they had been instructed by bosses not to talk about the vice president after claims that she invented her summer job to appear more authentic to voters. Trump visited a franchise anyway. That's what they go there. Feasterville, Pennsylvania. Cooked fries at one of the branch's fryers. That's fascinating. Well, and what's fascinating is, and I believe it, they were told not to talk about it. Yeah, I don't think that—
I don't think somebody who worked with her would have said, oh, I worked with her.
Oh, what a good point. My producer makes a very good point. Do I not think that somebody— yeah, would have said, yes, you know, I remember, I worked with her, sure. Has anybody come forward? No one? No one can vouch for her claim that she worked at a McDonald's? That's a big deal. That is a big deal. Hey, I claim to have been a camp waiter. You know how many people would acknowledge I was a camp waiter? Because I did it. Not— by the way, not only did I do it, I loved it. That was one of the most enjoyable summers of my life, and I had such a kick trying to get the food out first to my tables. It was— I don't even know if the other waiters were aware of my competition, but I was aware of it. And I, I, my tables were aware of it. There is actually, yep, one of the few pictures of me at that age, I was about 18, uh, is I think holding a tray. Now if they, if we have proof of that, why don't we have proof that she worked at a McDonald's? I'll, I'll, I would love to know. This would be an interesting test. How many Democrats would bet their house that she worked at a McDonald's? Democrats, you had to bet. You might win a second house if she did. You got a second house. If she didn't, you lose your house. How would you bet? A Democrat, I would be very curious. Yes. Well, uh, do we have, uh, we have— what was— we have the video, some video of this. You have, you have that, Zach?
Yeah.
All right, put that up. Let's, uh, if you, if you're watching the show, uh, yeah, Salem News Channel, you can watch me and you can watch obviously every video we put up. So put, put it up. At least you'll hear it if you're not watching.
I could do this all day. I wouldn't mind this job. I like this job. I think I might come back and do it again.
Thank you.
Look at that. How are you? Thank you, Mr. President. Nice to see you. You made it possible for ordinary people like us to meet you. You're not ordinary. I mean, thank you so much. I can see. We pray for you, and you are the type of person we want to be the president.
Thank you, brother.
Thank you so much.
My sense— hold it there, hold it there. I truly believe I read people and I'm pretty accurate. I know because I've been very rarely disappointed. I know I read people. I believe that he is more comfortable with the people at the drive-through than he is with the Hollywood elite. Do you agree? I agree. You feel the same way? Yeah. I know I have lived in Los Angeles for over 40 years. I have befriended maybe 2 actors or maybe 2 people in Hollywood. I've never gone to meet with them. It worked. It simply worked out. Charlton Heston was one of them. For those of you of the previous generation, he was a household name. He was as well known as Tom Cruise, let's say. And he was a very, very bright and honorable man. So I periodically would have lunch with him. But my desire to meet any in the elite is zero. Yeah, you're not— twice he said to him, you're not an ordinary man. That's right. He's a phenomenon, Donald Trump. Love him or hate him, you have to acknowledge his energy. Is— what was it Mike Johnson said in an interview? He had never seen a leader in his life with the energy of Donald Trump. I agree with that.
