Prager H3: The President returns to his typical American family (a Democratic operative and her husband) – Rebekah and Ben. The President says Rebekah isn’t asking for a handout, then she asks for a handout – free day care… The Left wants the government to take of us from cradle to grave… The President has a fantasy vision of what the world is like. That’s not reassuring.
Prager H2: NY Times Foreign Affairs columnist, Thomas Friedman, a big fan of the President’s, has his faith shaken by the Adminstration’s insistence not to identify our enemy – Radical Islam… Dennis continues with his deconstruction of the State of the Union address.
Prager H1: Dennis deconstructs the President’s State of the Union Speech last night. The President says we are turning “the page.” Turning the page on what? Isn’t Islamist terror worse than ever? Didn’t our abandoned Iraq led to the rise of Islamic State?
Prager H3: Perhaps the most famous verse in The Bible is “love your neighbor as yourself.” But rarely is the full verse quoted. This omission is critically important and says a lot about our modern, secular culture. A Best of Prager Hour. Originally broadcast on January 25, 2011.
Prager H2: CNN interviewed a Muslim Columbia Journalism professor about Islam and the Paris terror attacks. The conversation was instructive, full of useless clichés like “the cycle of violence.” The world is still waiting for a large demonstration of Muslims condemning murder in the name of Islam. And you have to name names – Islamic State, Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas – not merely condemn all violence… Dennis talks to Arthur Brooks, President of the American Enterprise Institute about the upcoming State of the Union address. Brooks teaches the newest Prager University course, Myths, Lies and Capitalism.

The concept behind the school is to teach traditional American values.
Prager H3: Miss Lebanon denies that she posed willingly for a selfie with Miss Israel at the Miss Universe contest. This reveals in microcosm the level of pointless hatred toward Israel in the Arab world… Saudi Arabia is building a 600 mile wall and ditch to keep radical Islamists out? Anybody complaining about this?… The media trumpets 2014 as the hottest year ever. But when pressed NASA admits they can’t be sure that statement is accurate. Anybody reporting that?
Prager H2: A coach is suspended because his team won a basketball game 161-2…. Parental authority is being undercut as the state takes more and more control of our lives… Kids are now being fed dinner at school: first breakfast, then lunch, now dinner.
Prager H1: Race seems to be as a big issue now as it was when Martin Luther King was alive. But who is preoccupied with it? That has changed dramatically.
Prager H3: Per usual callers set the agenda. Issues raised include: should you force children to play a musical instrument; how does Dennis feel about “automatic” responses to questions like “how are you?”; should you leave your parents, if your fiancé wants to live in a different city.
Prager H2: To worry about money is part of the human condition and can be a major barrier to happiness? How do you deal with it?
Prager H1: No blacks were nominated for the Oscar acting awards. USA Today splashes the news across the front page of the paper. What does one conclude? Hollywood is full of a bunch of racists? Really? Is Hollywood 99% liberal?… An all-female college will no longer allow “The Vagina Monologues” to be staged on campus. Why? Because some of the “females” on campus don’t have vaginas and might feel uncomfortable… Child Protective Services in Maryland investigate a couple who let their children walk unsupervised for a mile.
