Conservative talk show host Dennis Prager is recovering from a nasty fall in November and hopes to be back on the air soon despite remaining paralyzed from the shoulders down, his media company announced this week.

PragerU CEO Marissa Streit told The Washington Times on Tuesday that the 76-year-old pundit “envisions himself speaking publicly” again for the first time since being hospitalized in Los Angeles with a serious back injury one week after Election Day.

“Dennis remains the wise fighter we know, who loves life and adores his country,” Ms. Streit said. “Soon, we will be fortunate to have the opportunity to learn from him again.”

On Monday, she released a video update with Mr. Prager’s son David, who also serves as the company’s chief development officer. He said his father did not sustain any brain damage and was talking, eating and drinking again.

“He’s all there; he’s a hundred percent there,” David Prager said. “When you hear him on the radio, you’ll say he hasn’t skipped a beat, that’s for sure, and God willing that’ll be very soon.”

Ms. Streit confirmed Mr. Prager had two surgeries to repair an injured spinal cord that damaged his breathing after hitting his head in the Nov. 12 fall.

She said in the video update that he has shown “some promising incremental improvement” in physical therapy despite the fact he “cannot move from the shoulders and below.”

Mr. Prager founded PragerU — which produces short videos and is not a university — in 2009. The company’s materials include PragerU Kids, which bills itself as an alternative to “woke agendas” in public schools and features short lessons on figures like President Abraham Lincoln and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.

Despite pushback from some historians, education officials in Texas, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Montana, Arizona, Florida and Louisiana have adopted PragerU as an optional K-12 social studies resource over the past two years.
