Prager University
One of my favorite segments of theirs is the 5-minute video pieces they produce. These videos are extremely helpful when dealing with specific policy-related issues within the government. This is because Prager U takes that specific issue, broadens the topic, and then pieces together the facts behind why the policy was created and how it will affect various issues within our democracy. These videos also revolve heavily around history and factual evidence to explain why a policy would or wouldn’t be beneficial. They also include all of their sources so that you can further look into the information yourself.
The Rubin Report
The Rubin Report is a talk show hosted by Dave Rubin in which he interviews different activists, authors, professors, journalists, etc. about different issues within their field. While Rubin identifies as a libertarian, he brings on guests from all over the political spectrum, sometimes several at a time, and has thoughtful discussions. What I love about this show is that I feel that I can always learn something new as long as I keep an open mind. Rubin is also extremely good at maintaining a calm atmosphere throughout the conversation so that there is little talk over one another. He is also very good at listening before injecting his opinion or asking further questions.
The Daily Wire
The Daily Wire leans conservative; however, they do a good job of writing with verifiable facts. They present information in a clear and easy to understand manner. They also don’t write in a cruel or disheartening way. I also love watching Ben Shapiro’s podcast, "the Shapiro Show”, whenever the topic revolves heavily around the law. Having graduated from Harvard law school, he offers a very clear explanation of the law at hand and how the topic does or does not fall within said law. While Shapiro is conservative, he will be the first to criticize mistakes made by the Republican party and or Republican members of congress.
Fox News
While I don’t typically read many articles from Fox News, I very much enjoy their segment, “Tucker Carlson Tonight”, hosted by Tucker Carlson. During this segment, Carlson discusses hot topics within politics. Carlson frequently brings on guests that are very familiar with the topic to allow for further analysis of the issue at hand. The main reason I love Carlson’s segment is his asking rhetorical questions. He displays information on the topic and asks the questions that the audience is either not able to ask themselves or didn’t think of themselves. This allows the viewer to come to their own conclusion based off of what has been presented to them. In my opinion, this is the best way to educate yourself on controversial topics because you are forced to use critical thinking to come to an answer rather than be spoon-fed someone else's point of view.
Dennis Prager Fireside Chat
Fireside Chat is a podcast hosted by Dennis Prager. These podcasts are roughly 30 minutes so they are easy to listen to while getting ready in the morning or when you’re having a meal. Prager keeps these chats very mellow which helps with the ease of listening. Prager often takes calls or responds to written questions. This allows for discussion based off of what the audience wants to hear. He is extremely descriptive in his explanation of his views and responds heavily with historical facts, which I greatly enjoy because history often holds the answer to problems before they even arise. Prager is also a huge advocate of free speech and maintaining truth. This is something that should be a top priority for all Americans, especially younger generations now dealing with the suffocating power of big tech.
