Prager H3: Per usual, callers set the agenda. Issues raised include: why is Hollywood so liberal; what is the difference between a good orchestra and a great orchestra; why do Jews tend to so strongly favor gun control; does Dennis like to visit places he’s been to and loved or does he prefer new places.
Prager H2: Can you be happy if you worry all the time? If you do worry excessively, what can be done to help you to stop? Dennis and callers have some ideas.
Prager H1: Chris Christie has hurt his credibility badly by whining that Congressional Republicans wouldn’t rubber stamp the pork-filled Sandy relief bill… Al Gore fought for Al-Jazeera to buy his cable network… Another African economist begs the West to stop sending aid…
Prager H3: Dennis talks to Richard Parry, Tokyo bureau chief for the Times of London. His new book is People Who Eat Darkness: The True Story of a Young Woman Who Vanished from the Streets of Tokyo–and the Evil That Swallowed Her Up.
Prager H2: The media is so afraid of insulting Islam that they have taken to referring to Mohammed as The Prophet Mohammed. Ever seen any newspaper refer to Jesus, as The Messiah Jesus?… France has a “Minister of Equality.”… Richard Cohen, the liberal columnist for the Washington Post, thinks he knows Conservatives.
Prager H1: Al Gore has sold his leftist cable TV network to Al Jazeera. Apparently, he thought they were a better match for his ideals than Glenn Beck, who also reportedly made an offer… Dennis talks to Alex Berezow, editor of Real Clear Science and Hank Campbell, founder of Science 2.0. Their new book is Science Left Behind: Feel Good Fallacies and the Rise of the Anti-Scientific Left.
Prager H3: A new study claims that those who are somewhat overweight live longer than those who are not. But no one comments on the source of the nonsense – BMI (Body Mass Index)… Dennis talks to Bill Kristol, founder and editor of The Weekly Standard about the tax deal… Kathy Griffin shamed CNN on New Year’s Eve. But no one at CNN seems to care, including, sadly, Anderson Cooper.
Prager H2: A lot of unnecessary grief, if not tragedy, is caused by divorced parents speaking ill of their ex-spouse. It hurts the children and the grandparents. It can also boomerang against the offending spouse.
Prager H1: With much sound and fury signifying not very much, the fiscal cliff deal was made. And pretty much as predicted. More taxes, but no spending cuts…
Prager H3: Dennis talks to Gwyneth Cravens, science writer and novelist. She has worked as an editor for both The New Yorker and Harpers. Her latest book is Power to Save the World: The Truth About Nuclear Energy. An admitted liberal and environmentalist, she has written a formidable argument for nuclear power. A Best of Prager Hour. Originally broadcast on March 28, 2008.
Prager H2: Or get high? What’s the value to them? Dennis has his theories. So do callers. A Best of Prager Hour. Originally broadcast on September 27, 2007
Prager H1: Or do we only learn from the school of experience. Dennis explains that, of course, his show is built on the idea that wisdom can be learned, but why are some able to absorb it and others not? Also, knowledge is not necessarily wisdom. That’s why the secular university has become the temple of anti-wisdom. A Best of Prager Hour. Originally broadcast on October 19, 2006.
