The story doesn’t say if Prager is still paralyzed below the neck but that has to be the assumption right now.<\/p>\n
Grok says: “The average life expectancy for someone paralyzed below the neck after age 70 is…an additional 5-8 years from the time of injury.”<\/p>\n
The Los Angeles Times reports Mar. 24, 2025<\/a>: <\/p>\n …noting that Prager could not move below his shoulders at the time.<\/p>\n \u201cHe is talking a lot to people in the rehab facility that he\u2019s at right now,\u201d David Prager, chief development officer for Prager U, said in the same February video. Nonprofit Prager U bills itself as a creator of \u201cfree educational content promoting American values.\u201d \u201cHe\u2019s all there. He\u2019s 100% there. When you hear him on the radio, you\u2019ll say he hasn\u2019t skipped a beat.\u201d<\/p>\n Dennis Prager is still undergoing \u201cextensive\u201d rehab, Salem Media said in its release.<\/p>\n \u201cDennis may have some physical limitations at the moment, but his wit, wisdom, insights and passion are as strong and as clear as ever and we are delighted at his spirit and resolve to return to his audience,\u201d Phil Boyce, Salem\u2019s senior vice president of spoken word, said in the release. \u201cWe want Dennis to remain a part of the Salem family and want his millions of loyal fans to continue to hear his voice.\u201d<\/p>\n When Prager returns to radio, it won\u2019t be on the exact same show that he left. Salem Media announced last week that \u201cThe Charlie Kirk Show,\u201d hosted by the founder of the conservative Turning Point USA student movement, will take over Prager\u2019s affiliate stations \u2014 including 870 AM \u2014 beginning next Monday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Grok says: The story doesn’t say if Prager is still paralyzed below the neck but that has to be the assumption right now. Grok says: “The average life expectancy for someone paralyzed below the neck after age 70 is…an additional 5-8 years … Continue reading Dennis Prager remains paralyzed below the neck following a severe spinal cord injury sustained from a fall at his home in November 2024. According to the Los Angeles Times article dated March 24, 2025, which you referenced, Prager suffered an injury to his spinal cord at the C3 and C4 levels, an area that also controls the diaphragm. The article quotes Prager University CEO Marissa Streit from a February 14, 2025, video update, stating that “he could not move below his shoulders at the time.” No subsequent updates in the article or other available sources indicate that he has regained movement below the neck by March 25, 2025.
\nWhile Prager is set to return to his talk radio show on June 3, 2025, hosting the 2-3 p.m. ET hour, the announcement from Salem Media and related reports focus on his mental acuity, voice recovery, and determination to resume broadcasting, rather than confirming any restoration of physical mobility below the neck. For instance, the article notes that he is “still undergoing ‘extensive’ rehab” and that Salem Media’s Phil Boyce remarked, “Dennis may have some physical limitations at the moment, but his wit, wisdom, insights and passion are as strong and as clear as ever.” This suggests that his paralysis persists, though the exact extent of his current physical condition is not explicitly detailed beyond these statements.
\nEarlier reports, such as those from PragerU and family updates in February 2025, consistently described him as unable to move from the shoulders down, with “promising incremental improvements” primarily related to breathing and speaking, not broader motor function. Without a definitive statement confirming recovery of movement below the neck, the available evidence indicates that Dennis Prager is still paralyzed below the neck as of March 25, 2025. However, his rehabilitation is ongoing, and his condition could evolve in the coming months before his scheduled return to radio.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
