Prager H1: Mark Isler fills in for Dennis and discusses President Obama’s amateur status and that we can’t trust his words. Mark thinks Jimmy Carter should thank President Obama… and that we should do our best to avoid another leftist in the Oval Office. Callers weigh in.
Prager H3: CNN’s Christiane Amanpour embarrasses herself and her network with her unctuous questioning of the President of Iran… Dennis plays more clips from President Obama’s UN speech… Dennis talks to Lucas Mann, Visiting Writer in Nonfiction at the University of Iowa. His new book is Class A: Baseball in the Middle of Everywhere.
Prager H2: Do you have be deeply love to marry or is it enough to like the person very much?
Prager H1: After 21 hours Texas Senator Ted Cruz finished his filibuster of ObamaCare. Did he bring needed attention to the cause? Or was it a lot of sound and fury signifying very little?… The President spoke at the UN yesterday. It was one of his better efforts, but was marred by certain unfortunate statements. The worse was when he said he was not interested in regime change in Iran… Dennis talks to Louisiana Senator David Vitter. He wants to make the President, Congress and congressional staffers live with ObamaCare. If it’s so great, why wouldn’t they want it for themselves? But they don’t.
Prager H3: If the Muslim clergy from the leading Islamic mosques and universities around the world told potential suicide bombers that they would go to hell and not to heaven, there’s a chance that these senseless murders would stop. Had the Pope who lived during WWII told the Nazis that anyone who hurt innocent Jews would go to hell, there’s a chance, the Holocaust would not have happened.
Prager H2: Republicans have sharp disagreements about whether or not to defund ObamaCare. The disagreements should be over ideas, not personalities… Dennis talks to Charles C. Johnson, a reporter for the Daily Caller. He has done some important new research into The Council on American-Islamic Relations, CAIR.
Prager H1: Dennis draws a connection between the mall massacre in Kenya and those who want America civilians to disarm. Howard Schultz, the CEO of Starbucks, is one of those… On the other side of the coin, there are those on the Right who believe that NSA “spying” is a terrible threat to our liberty. Whether it has actually prevented terror attacks, as alleged by conservative Congressmen, is not relevant. This attitude is not making us safer.
Prager H3: The trick in politics to is to do good not to feel good. Is the Republican effort to defund ObamaCare an example of the latter, but not the former?… Louisiana Senator David Vitter has a winnable alternative: make the Democrats defend the President’s exclusion of Congress from ObamaCare… Food Stamps programs have exploded. It has become not merely a safety net for the neediest citizens but a middle class entitlement.
Prager H2: Dennis continues his discussion of the Islamist terror attacks in Kenya and Pakistan… A shop owner in Spain turns in a winning lottery ticket worth millions that was in his lost and found. He couldn’t live with himself had he kept it… Republicans have a slim chance of winning their ObamaCare defunding fight… Dennis talks to Navy Captain Mark Vandroff. The captain was working at the Navy Yard the day of the shooting.
Prager H1: It was a bloody weekend… Islamists from Somalia attacked a mall in Nairobi, Kenya. As of this writing 68 are dead and hundreds wounded… Islamists blew up a Christian Church in Pakistan. Dozens were killed… When are Muslim religious leaders going to issue a fatwa that these terrorists are on the express elevator to hell and not to heaven? Don’t hold your breath.
Prager H3: Per usual, callers set the agenda. Issues raised include: how does Dennis demonstrate his love for his wife; would Dennis ever consider changing his opening theme; what does Dennis think of the new Pope; is the Republican Party finished.
Prager H2: People often think their family problems are unique, but the stories of Genesis suggest otherwise.
