Prager voted for Jimmy Carter in the 1976 US presidential election and opposed the Anti-Defamation League’s study on Christian right antisemitism. He pushed conservative Jews to collaborate with conservative Christians, such as the Christian Coalition, in 1995. He has conducted a nationally syndicated discussion show on KRLA, a conservative Christian radio station in Los Angeles, since 1999.

While same-sex marriage was being considered for national legalization in the United States in 2014, he said that if it happened, “there is no plausible rationale for denying polygamous unions.” In the 2016 presidential election, Prager endorsed Donald Trump but acknowledged he was his 17th pick out of 17 contenders. In 2017, he was asked to direct an orchestra as a guest conductor for a charity event in Santa Monica, California. Some orchestra members objected to his participation, which they saw as encouraging intolerance. “Of course, you should never call someone the n-word, that’s horrible,” he told a caller in February 2020, but he worried about the word itself being regarded as undesirable.
Prager dubbed the COVID-19 lockdowns “the biggest error in the history of humanity” in April 2020, although he was chastised for exaggerating the pandemic’s severity. He said in a November 2021 interview that “irrational fears” about persons who had not been vaccinated against COvid-19 had incorrectly made them “pariahs of America as I have never seen in my lifetime.”
