Prager H3: Per usual, callers set the agenda. Issues raised include: Why should smokers be allowed near people who do not smoke; Noticed you saying BECAUSE instead of CAUSE; sharing blind spot techniques for driving safely; the criterion trinity for choosing a wife; How do you feel about receiving Cuban cigars?
Prager H2: There is no area in life in which one can be completely satisfied. Absence of complete satisfaction is a part of the human condition. That doesn’t mean that one should not strive for satisfaction, because striving will lead to innovation. Ideally, people will learn to be satisfied sans complete satisfaction. Understanding that complete satisfaction is unattainable will be liberating and lead to happiness.
Prager H1: The West has been spoiled by peace and prosperity, and now they are naïve about human nature. Evil is normal, not peace. The media, including CNN, is misrepresenting the Israel/Gaza conflict by omitting crucial information. CNN’s Erin Burnett would not admit that she or CNN were wrong when confronted by Ron Dermer, Israeli Ambassador to the United States. Joseph Wood was executed by lethal injection in Arizona… To be against capital punishment is immoral.
Prager H3: ISIS wants all mannequins, male and female, covered in a veil… Does our President care about what goes on outside the United States?… Dennis talks to Doug Ducey, candidate for governor of Arizona…
Prager H2: The clash between Israel and Hamas is a moment blinding moral clarity. You can mark your moral compass and that of others by whether they support Israel or support Hamas. MSNBC’s Joy Reid is a case in point.
Prager H1: New studies now prove what Dennis has long asserted: poverty doesn’t cause crime or cause people to hate others. The essence of liberalism is that economics effects values…
Prager H3: The FAA has ordered all American airlines not to fly to Tel Aviv. Most European airlines are also following the edict. This is because one Hamas rocket came within a mile of the airport. British Airways is still flying to Israel. So, of course, is El Al. But this is a big victory for Hamas; an unnecessary victory… Parenting is becoming a criminal offense… Dennis talks to Michael Tanner, senior fellow at the Cato Institute. He teaches the newest Prager U. course, “War on Work.”
Prager H2: A wife posts all the reasons she doesn’t want to have sex with her husband. Dennis reads the list which is amusing, disturbing and hides a lot of important truths about marriage.
Prager H1: As predicted (sadly), European anger at Russia looks to be all talk and no action… Dennis talks to Robert Bryce, senior fellow at The Manhattan Institute. His new book is Smaller Faster Lighter Denser Cheaper: How Innovation Keeps Proving the Catastrophists Wrong.
Prager H3: Dennis talks to Stephen Meyer, a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute. His new book is Darwin’s Doubt: The Explosive Origin of Animal Life and the Case for Intelligent Design. A Best of Prager Hour. Originally broadcast on June 18, 2013.
Prager H2: An appeals court has thrown up a major ObamaCare roadblock. The ruling will be appealed by the Administration, but it could get interesting if this goes up to the Supreme Court… Mosul, Iraq is being Dechristianized… The President has signed an Executive Order banning all employment discrimination based on sexual identity. So, if a man shows up in a dress for a job interview, you can’t take that into account in your hiring decision, even if you’re a religious institution. Thus, the government intrudes further into our lives.
Prager H1: Why is the US trying to force Israel into a ceasefire? Why aren’t Canada and India calling for a ceasefire? If Israel is a trusted ally, shouldn’t we let them make the decision how best to defend themselves?… Does Europe have a moral spine left? Are they willing to do anything to punish Russia? Is our President?
