A year ago the idea that ISIS would be in shambles would have been hard to believe. Why doesn’t the media give credit to the President? He deserves it.
Dennis talks to George Friedman, Founder and President of Geopolitical Futures. Today he releases his forecast for 2018. Issues raised include: N. Korea and Iran.
Matt Damon tries to draw a distinction between butt-patting and rape. For this outrage, he’s slammed by feminists… The personal character of politicians does not mean they will be effective legislators.
Per usual, callers set the agenda. Issues raised include: has Dennis ever read Allen’s novel, “Heaven’s Witness”; are movie soundtracks equivalent to classical music; why is Dennis starting his commentary with Exodus and not Genesis.
Is this really the happiest, best, most wonderful time of the year? Callers have their thoughts.
The President declares Jerusalem the capital of Israel. Riots were supposed to follow. They haven’t… The FCC undoes Net Neutrality. The Internet is supposed to “close down.” It won’t. Every year we get a new deadline for global warming catastrophe. We’re still here… Is Dennis a sexist?… Should a baseball pitcher be kicked out of the Hall of Fame because he made a crude remark 20 years ago?
Dennis describes why he loves this time of the year… A new Pew survey reports that more and more Americans no longer consider Christmas a religious holiday… There’s a lot of great news coming from the Trump Administration…
A Harvard student writes in the student paper that he is complicit in the sexual harassment of women. His sin? He participated in a discussion in which his friends rated girls by their looks… Dennis talks to Ken Stern, former CEO of NPR. His new book is Republican Like Me: How I Left the Liberal Bubble and Learned to Love the Right.
Why are we so consumed with the idea of sexual sin? Why is visiting a prostitute, for example, worse than drunk driving? Left wing feminism and right wing religious conservatism are oddly united on this issue… Dennis talks to Barack Lurie, prominent Los Angeles area lawyer. His new book is Atheism Kills: The Dangers of a World Without God – and Cause for Hope.
