In this monologue, conservative commentator Dennis Prager critiques President Joe Biden's inaugural address, arguing that the nation cannot achieve unity without confronting what he calls the truth: that left‑wing terrorism poses a far greater threat than right‑wing terrorism, which he quantifies as a 1,000‑to‑1 ratio. Prager denounces what he sees as false historical narratives, specifically the 1619 Project, insisting that America was founded in 1776. He challenges Biden’s references to systemic racism and white supremacy, contending that every country has racists but is not "systemically racist". Prager emphasizes the importance of free speech and dissent, labeling them patriotic and warning against any suppression of dissenting voices. He also references his own RealClearPolitics column and provides contact information, framing his perspective as that of a "good‑willed American" seeking truthful unity.

You can't unify the country without truth. The truth is that we have far more to fear from left-wing terror than right-wing terror. The ratio is about 1,000 to 1. So you can't say you're committed to truth if you don't acknowledge that there are vast numbers of people who, who hate this country, who have dominated our society, who have taken over public spaces, destroyed, I don't know, 1,000 businesses, torched them. Vast amounts of looting, looting defended on National Public Radio, which had an hour on the defense of moral defense of looting. What is ignored is You're asking me, the American, to ignore truth while you say how important truth is. So it's very— it's a tough pill to swallow. We are bathing in lies. Wouldn't it have been nice to say, you know what, America wasn't founded— you kids in schools, America wasn't founded in 1619, as 3,000 schools will— are teaching their children now. That's a lie. America was founded in 1776. You talk about truth, kids are bathing in lies. So it's, uh, it's, it's just an observation from a good-willed American who would like to see someone actually be president of all the people. But even I, I don't know what that means. You're gonna give Iran back, back its money? You're gonna go and once again deal with the only regime on earth that advocates genocide? Well, a lot of issues. 1-800-PRAAGER, 776-877-243-7776. The buzzwords to the left make the calls for unity difficult, President Biden. They just do. I would love— I would love to cheer the words that are— that were offered. This country does not suffer from white supremacy. That's You can't call for truth and unity and say we have to fight white supremacy, or that the country is systemically racist. You say you love America. I— how do you love a place that's systemically racist? Systemically. Not a country that has racists in it. Every country has racists in it. Every country has rapists in it. Every country has murderers in it. Is the country a— is the country a rapist? Is the country systemically rapist? You wouldn't say that. I'm sure he wouldn't say that. I don't know what happened. I guess they don't say that the colleges are rape culture anymore because nobody's at college. I wonder when that, when that will resume. There's a very big difference between a society having bad people and a society being a bad society. They are not the same things. RealClearPolitics picked up my column this week. The reason I mention that is because RealClearPolitics takes columns of the left and right, what they think are most important. My column is about the need of the left to suppress speech. God, if he'd have just said— oh, I— more than anything else, I wish he would have said, this is the country of free speech, more than any other in the history of the world. We will not tolerate the suppression of dissent in the United States of America. Can you imagine that? That, my friends, would have won me over with anything else he wanted to say. We cannot tolerate the suppression of free speech in the land of the free and the home of the brave. Dissent is patriotic. That's what they said during the George Bush era. That's what he should have said in his inaugural address. I'm Dennis Prager.
