Prager H1: The Republicans and Democrats settled the budget crisis over the weekend. In the space of a few hours, President Obama transformed himself into a deficit cutter. Paul Krugman is very upset with President Obama. That means Republicans made a good budget deal. The Dodgers will flood Dodger stadium with blue, not Dodger blue, police blue, following the beating of a San Francisco fan ten days ago.

Prager H2: What really gets the Left upset are the environment and inequality. A statement by Mika Brzezinski on Morning Joe, the MSNBC morning show is a great example. President Obama is now a debt cutting champion. What a difference a weekend makes. A Chicago school won’t let its students eat food from home.

Prager H3: Dennis opens the hour talking to Congressman David Dreier about the pending government shut down. The Congressman was delighted that Dennis couldn’t take his call last hour – it was the Happiness Hour and nothing disrupts that. Callers then take over. Issues raised include: Do Democrats have a dark view of life; how much can we tax the risk; does Dennis use generalizations too much.

Prager H2: Parents understandably obsess over their children. But until parents realize that they can’t make or break their children, they’ll have a tough time to being happy.

Prager H1: The government is on the verge of a shutdown. The Democrats would be thrilled if it happened. It will give them a great chance to demagogue. Jimmy Carter equates the way Christianity treats women and the way Islam does. This is standard liberal thinking.

Prager H2: Dennis talks to Los Angeles City Councilman, Dennis Zine, about this beating incident and the Dodgers’ poor security. This hideous incident says a lot about misplaced social priorities.

Prager H1: Last week two San Francisco fans were beaten by two “Dodger fans” after a game at Dodger Stadium. One of the victims remains in critical condition, almost certain to have brain damage if he survives. The idea that you can’t feel safe at a baseball game is an appalling comment on our society.

Prager H3: Dennis talks to Tom Sowell, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution. His book Economic Facts and Fantasies has now been released in a new edition.

Prager H3: In a NJ town, coaches and all other volunteers, now have to be fingerprinted. Fear of child molesters. President Obama is paling up to proven liar and race baiter, Al Sharpton, This demeans the Office. Dennis talks to John Fund of the Wall Street Journal about Wisconsin and the looming government shutdown.
