In this week’s episode of The Audit, Dave and Josh join forces with Andrew Perez, investigative reporter from The Lever, to delve deeper into the financial underpinnings of PragerU. 

The three review, with horror, the organization’s fawning and unhinged interview with Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus, who donates millions to PragerU. Dave and Josh also recount their mission to obtain PragerU’s tax documents, which leads to an unexpected face-to-face encounter. Finally, the episode also discusses how right-wing media outlets provoked the extremist assault on the Glendale Unified School District.

Videos discussed:

  • Who Is Dennis Prager?
  • Bernie Marcus's Impact on the Success of The Home Depot
