Prager H3: Per usual, callers set the agenda. Issues raised include: Is the purpose of hell to punish evil doers; what should you say to young person about to go off to college; will Republicans vote for Donald Trump if he gets the nomination; should women breastfeed in public.
Prager H2: A major new Harvard study confirms that friends are a key to happiness.
Prager H1: The media continues to report that Judge Garland, the President’s nominee for the Supreme Court, is a moderate and a centrist. Never mind that on every major issue he votes Left… There are many “staunch Conservatives.” Have you ever heard of a “staunch liberal”?… Is there an air of violence surrounding this Presidential campaign? Who is responsible?
Prager H3: There’s no DMV in South Sudan. This is Nicholas Kristoff’s argument for why Big Government is a good idea. Seriously. This is what passes as deep thinking on the Left… The government is adding new regulations to limit pain prescriptions. There’s a fear that people in pain are getting addicted to their pain killers. Can you imagine being in terrible pain and not able to get pain medication? What is more cruel than that?
Prager H2: Dennis talks to Stephen Prothero, professor of religion at Boston University, and a senior fellow at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. His new book is Why Liberals Win the Culture Wars (Even When They Lose Elections).
Prager H1: The NY Times, LA Times and USAToday all describe Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Merrick Garland, as “centrist.” But is that really an accurate description? Not if you look at his decisions… Another foolish academic study purports to predict support for Trump based on your parenting-style. Huh?
Prager H3: Marco Rubio was a great candidate. But he never anticipated the Trump phenomena. He wasn’t the only one… The President made a couple of telling remarks while introducing his nominee to the Supreme Court.
Prager H2: Have you been close to a couple and then they announce they’re getting a divorce? How well do you really know anyone?
Prager H1: Trump and Clinton again prevailed. Clinton pretty much finished off Sanders, but Trump still has Ted Cruz to contend with. John Kasich won his home state, but it’s hard to see how he becomes a factor… The President nominates a “moderate” for the Supreme Court… Trump says his supporters might “riot” if were to be denied the nomination…
Prager H3: We know how to develop our bodies. But how do you develop our minds? Dennis has ideas. So do callers.
Prager H2: Has our cultural life been so dumbed down that we can’t get it back?… NY cops are demoralized. They don’t receive the support from the mayor or police brass they feel they need to do their job. This feeling is widespread across police departments across the country… Dennis talks to Bill Voegeli, Senior Editor of the Claremont Review of Books. He teaches the newest PragerU course, Government: Is It Ever Big Enough?
Prager H1: Can you imagine the press coverage if an organized group of Trump supporters prevented Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton from speaking at a campaign event?… Harvard Law School will no longer use its signature crest because the founder of the law school also happened to be an 18th century sugar plantation owner. And you know what that means…
