“How “no such thing”?”
I’m not going to get into a days long theological debate (seriously, I’m not), but I will give MY opinion; if a person believes that Jesus Christ is the Savior and Son of God, how can they share the values of those who explicitly deny that? No disrespect intended, but you can take or leave it.
Jesus always pointed people to the Ten Commandments, which were given to Moses for him to give to the Israelites. Also written by Jesus with His own finger. Not shared?
I’m aware this is Dennis Prager, whose understanding of such things is in no way perfect. But how perfect would the understanding be of any given individual? I can’t blame Prager for seeking common ground notwithstanding.

You seem to be a little bit at war with yourself here.
"if a person believes that Jesus Christ is the Savior and Son of God, how can they share the values of those who explicitly deny that?"
While at post 7 you said:
“rooted in Judeo-Christian values”There’s no such thing.
Now, first, I have to admit - Prager did a terrible job with this. Life isn't the infinite now. The U.S. in its history is rooted in Judeo-Christian values, while now in 2024, not so much. However, we have to deal with the very real quagmire that:

America was founded as it was founded. It really is that simple. If you happen to be a Christian who would give up on that, you should expect to be faced with a certain amount of divine retribution when you reach the end. What I mean is this.
God gave us this place for a reason. If you're not going to defend one of God's gifts, there's going to be hell to pay for that. It's kind of like, what the heck is it with people of the Jewish faith who do not defend Israel? It's mind boggling.
