Prager H3: Per usual, callers set the agenda. Issues raised include: How do you teach a course on culture without a bias; who would be the next target if antisemites did away with all the jews; how does one stop feeling depressed after family events conclude; why are you against bullying; do young people know anything about history; does God give us signs?
Prager H2: There are people you can be friendly with but not fully confide in. Then there is the person you can be completely open with and not hold back. That is a friend.
Prager H1: The Gosnell movie folks passed the 2 Million dollar mark… congratulations. Why won’t the State Department name the Boko Haram a terrorist group? Bob Geldof condemned the kidnappings. How does that help? California City votes to criminalize bullying. What’s bullying and what’s isn’t?
Prager H3: Dennis talks to Burton Folsom, Professor of History at Hillsdale College. His new book, written with his wife Anita, also an American history teacher at Hillsdale, is Uncle Sam Can’t Count: A History of Failed Government Investments, from Beaver Pelts to Green Energy… The Rialto School District offers a meaningless apology for its “did the Holocaust happen” assignment. But who is responsible? Is anyone going to be held accountable?
Prager H2: We’re living through Leftist form of McCarthyism that’s far worse than anything McCarthy did. McCarthy was one crank with one obsession… Dennis talks to Heather MacDonald, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute. The topic is the “rape culture” hysteria on college campuses, fully aided and abetted by the Obama Administration.
Prager H1: Dennis asks the question: what worries you about this current generation. He has his concerns. So do callers…
Prager H3: The liberal Brookings Institution reports that more businesses are dying than are being created. There is less entrepreneurial zeal now than any time in the last three decades… Dennis talks to Rick Santorum. His new book is Blue Collar Conservatives: Recommitting to an America That Works… Democrats aren’t concerned with prosperity. They only care about equality… Islamists in Nigeria have kidnapped 200 girls and are threatening to sell them as slaves…
Prager H2: The most eligible bachelor in the world, George Clooney, is getting married. If marriage is so unimportant and unnecessary, why would he do want to tie the knot?
Prager H1: A school in California asked students to debate whether the Holocaust took place. Would they ask them to debate if the American Revolution took place? American Slavery?… Monica Lewinsky has turned 40 and looks back on her Clinton days… Dennis talks to Elan Carr, Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney, Iraq War Veteran and candidate for Henry Waxman’s Congressional seat. He is the only Republican in the primary race… Going to a prestige college doesn’t bring happiness. But an inspiring professor can…
Prager H3: Dennis talks to Amir Aczel, 2004 winner of the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship; currently a research fellow in the history of science at Boston University. His new book is Why Science Does Not Disprove God.
Prager H2: Dennis talks to Benjamin Powell, Professor of Business at Texas Tech University. His new book is Out of Poverty: Sweatshops in the Global Economy… The Greens want to keep Africa energy poor and in poverty. Saving the planet is more important than African lives.
Prager H1: The Supreme Court voted 5-4 to allow public prayer in a government facility. Good new. But also very scary. Why? It was only a 5-4 vote. One more Democratic President, one more liberal justice and public pray is done and so is a major component of the American ethos. A minor league baseball team outside of Cincinnati has banned peanuts from their ballpark. The whiney few have too much power over the many.
