Prager H3: Dennis opens the lines to all topics. Issues raised include: husband is Jewish, wife is christian, there is ongoing tension; does Dennis dance at weddings; Marriage is work, not necessarily about unconditional love; is it good to listen and read the liberal media if you’re a conservative; what’s the difference between what Dennis preachers and what rabbi’s preach?
Prager H2: Callers set the agenda. Issues raised include: wife is liberal, husband is conservative and conversations are hard; why is being single so hard during Christmas; love is a choice, not an emotion; callers thinks happiness is a moral obligation, husband does not.
Prager H1: There’s nothing wrong with the Santa Claus tale. Tell your kids he exists. Callers call in with their stories or disagreements.
Prager H3: Callers set the agenda: a former pastor has lived without God for a year; atheists have now come out with their own ten commandments; are Orthodox Jews misogynistic; should we elect male or female politicians?
Prager H2: Why did feminists object the nail polish that comes in contact with a date drug? Dennis takes a call from Zack, and they have an interesting dialogue on this topic. Other callers give their theories as well.
Prager H1: A NYT’s article asking why do toys come in blue and pink? Boys will gravitate to blue and girls to pink. It’s in their nature. Dennis takes calls on a range of topics.
Prager H3: The son of one of the officers who was slain this weekend, speaks out about his father on Facebook. The police in NYC turn their backs to Mayor de Blasio during a press conference. Dennis revisits the topic from the first hour about Gabriel Giffords. Dennis continues taking calls on all subjects.
Prager H2: Second graders were protesting Ferguson in Massachusetts. Apparently, they came up with the idea themselves. Dennis briefly discusses Cuba and the Congressional Black Caucus. Dennis continues with open lines
Prager H1: Dennis opens with reading a page from Still the Best Hope, making the connection between the Gabriel Giffords shooting and the current shootings of cops. After Giffords was shot, the left blamed the right for their rhetoric, which “resulted” in her shooting, even though it was false. Now, when police are being gunned down for the rhetoric the left has been using since Ferguson, they still blame the right. The lefts hatred is immeasurable to the rights. Dennis takes calls on a range of topics.
Prager H3: Per usual, callers set the agenda for the hour. Issues raised include: is Prager University sponsoring a 10 Commandments essay contest; what’s the best way to learn.
Prager H2: There’s a mountain of studies now that suggest that people who have religion in their lives have a greater sense of well-being. Do these studies also comport with experience? Callers weigh in.
