Prager H2: Dennis talks to James Piereson, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute. His new book is Shattered Consensus: The Rise and Decline of America’s Postwar Political Order… The Nebraska legislature recently banned the death penalty. Now there’s a popular revolt to get it reinstated.
Prager H1: Dennis muses about how radically different life is now than it was even half a century ago. A Frank Sinatra song and a Roy Rogers TV commercial serve as examples… Dennis talks to Larry Schweikart, Professor of History at the University of Dayton. He teaches the newest course from Prager University. Religious Tolerance: Made in America.
Prager H3: The UN Security Council unanimously approves dropping sanctions on Iran… Dennis talks to Michael Ledeen, Freedom Scholar at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. The subject is the Iran nuke deal…
Prager H2: Donald Trump made very foolish and disqualifying statements about John McCain… Callers weigh in.
Prager H1: Dennis talks to Steve Emerson, Founder and Executive Director of the Investigative Project on Terrorism. The topic is the Chattanooga terrorist. Should he have been on a terrorist watch list? Are we prepared to stop future attacks?
Prager H3: Per usual, callers set the agenda. Issues raise include: do the kosher laws of Judaism make moral sense; should Dennis close the “punishment room;” is divorce always bad.
Prager H2: Dennis talks to Dr. Stephen Marmer, member of the clinical faculty at UCLA Medical School and psychiatrist in private practice in Brentwood, CA. Dennis opens up the lines for callers, but has a bunch of questions of his own.
Prager H1: Four Marines were murdered yesterday in Chattanooga, Tennessee by a radical jihadist, a naturalized American citizen from Kuwait. The Secretary of Defense said it was “a senseless act of violence.” What was senseless about it? It was obviously carefully planned.
