Prager H1: Dennis debates EJ Dionne, columnist for the Washington Post and senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. His new book is Our Divided Political Heart: The Battle for the American Idea in an Age of Discontent.
Prager H3: A New Yorker magazine writer asks the question, are Americans crazy? He lists ten reasons why he thinks they are… Dennis talks to Michael Leven, President and Chief Operating Officer of the Las Vegas Sands Corp. Leven is unhappy with the way the President talks about businessmen and corporations. We should be celebrating business and entrepreneurship, not denigrating it.
Prager H2: There has been a lot of discussion of about whether or not women can have it all? Marissa Mayer, the new pregnant CEO of Yahoo, is the latest example. But with all the ink spilled on this subject, the word “wife” is never used. It’s always about whether a woman can have a full time career and be a full time mom.
Prager H1: If young people want to see their future under President Obama’s leadership, all they have to do is look at a collapsing Europe. So, why would they vote for him?
Prager H3: In chapter 19, verse 3 of Leviticus, the third book of the Hebrew Bible, it says “you shall fear, every man, his mother and his father.” Is this admonition still valid in our modern world? Dennis argues that it’s more important than ever. A Best of Prager Hour. Originally broadcast on July 24, 2009.
Prager H2: Dennis continues his discussion on comments by the Virginia state senator from the previous hour. The topper: she’s finally convinced her children that the country is racist. This is a form of child abuse… Elizabeth Warren is the darling of the Democratic Party. She’s raised more money than any congressional candidate. This is a good illustration of how far left the party has moved.
Prager H1: Dennis talks to David Limbaugh, best-selling author and nationally syndicated columnist. His new book is The Great Destroyer: Barack Obama’s War on the Republic… A state senator in Virginia claims that the reason people vote for Mitt Romney is because they don’t want a black man in the White House. To this woman only race matter not values.
Prager H3: The NCAA has wiped out fourteen years of Penn State victories. They didn’t happen, according the organization. This is part of the NCAA’s punishment of the college for the Jerry Sandusky scandal. But what does it mean? The touchdowns weren’t thrown; the opposition players weren’t tackled? The NCAA is re-writing history. That’s scary.
Prager H2: Three men threw themselves on their girlfriends. They sacrificed their lives to save the women. That’s what men do instinctually. This isn’t feminine theory, it’s just fact.
Prager H1: One person can do enormous evil, destroying many lives, victims and survivors. It usually takes many people and a lot of time and effort to do enormous good. The murderer in Aurora and Jerry Sandusky, the Penn State coach, are examples of individuals causing great destruction… Dennis announces a new Prager University course – Hiroshima: Why America Dropped the Bomb… Dennis talks about the Aurora victims and their personal stories.
Prager H3: Per usual, callers set the agenda. Issues raised include: how does someone convince himself to shoot up a movie theatre; does age bring maturity; how does one deal with a cancer diagnosis; have kids lost any sense of community.
Prager H2: In a light of the Aurora murders, Dennis asks the obvious question. How does one maintain one’s happiness in the face of so much pain and tragedy in life?
