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.
Prager H3: Kids need counseling because they’re so worried about Global Warming… A county in Maryland wants to publish the pictures of men who solicit prostitutes. This is a shameful idea… The American Lung Association tries to convince people that inhaling water vapor is the same as inhaling cigarette smoke… The President is so worried about upsetting Vladimir Putin that he won’t even send the Ukrainians night goggles.

If so, the Republicans are in big trouble… Does Harry Reid have any moral boundaries?… It’s not okay that private conversations are made public. Why do so many think that it is?… The White House believes there is an epidemic of sexual assaults at colleges across the country. This is another faux hysteria…
Prager H3: As American loses the qualities discussed in last hour’s interview, it risks that which makes us distinctly American and prosperous… More and more Americans want to retreat from the world. This will not turn out good for the world or for America… Dennis talks to Daveed Gartenstein-Ross. Senior Fellow Foundation for Defense of Democracies. Gartenstein-Ross testified at today’s explosive Benghazi hearings.
Prager H2: More information has emerged in the last few days that the Administration knew that the attack in Benghazi had nothing to do with an obscure YouTube video, but was an organized terror attack. This Administration has no compunction about manipulating the truth for political ends… Dennis talks to Amy Chua and Jed Rubenfeld. Both are professors at Yale Law School. Their new book is The Triple Package: How Three Unlikely Traits Explain the Rise and Fall of Cultural Groups in America.
