Prager H3: Per usual, listeners set the agenda. Issues raised include: how can conservatives say the fifties were so great when there was segregation; why is Dennis an Angel fan; should a young Christian woman who wants to be actress move to NYC; how does one deal with grief; is there a way to prevent teen suicide. A Best of Prager Hour. Originally broadcast on April 2, 2010.
Prager H1: Dennis discusses the declining use of watches and their technological replacements. Callers weigh in. He then reviews Chris Matthew’s interview of Washington Post reporter Jonathan Capehart, and their misunderstanding of American history and the “three-fifths compromise”.
Prager H2: Dennis talks to George Friedman, Founder and CEO of Stratfor, on his new book The Next Decade. Topics include: the state of national security, the future of terrorism, the growth of the world’s Islamic population, and America’s unique emphasis on liberty.
Prager H3: Dennis discusses the future of liberty in the Middle East and America. Callers weigh in on Chris Matthew and Washington Post reporter Jonathan Capehart’s opinion of the “three-fifths compromise”, along with their accusations of Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann’s ignorance of American history.
Prager H3: Dennis talks to one of his favorite guests, George Friedman, Founder and CEO of Stratfor, a global intelligence service. His new book is The Next Decade. Topics include: what the President said and didn’t say about foreign policy, Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan. Dennis returns to SOTU and the Ryan response.
Prager H1: It only “invests.” Dennis analyzes President Obama State of the Union Address. It was back to the “We aren’t red states or blue states, we’re the United States” style rhetoric of his 2008 campaign. Lofty, but lots of empty calories.
Prager H2: The Left and Right don’t share the same hopes or the same creed, as the President suggests. Rep. Paul Ryan’s rebuttal speech was excellent. It stands as a strong contrast to the President’s speech.
Prager H1: Dennis talks to Matthew Woessner, associate professor of political science and public policy at Penn State University at Harrisburg. His new book is The Still Divided Academy: How Competing Visions of Power, Politics, and Diversity Complicate the Mission of Higher Education.
Prager H2: In his column today, Dennis asks why we never see “In God We Trust” above and behind the Vice President and Speaker of the House when the President gives his State of the Union address. Why did we let public service workers unionize?.. Without bookstores, where do guys pick up girls?
Prager H3: Perhaps the most famous verse in The Bible is “love your neighbor as yourself.” But rarely is the full verse quoted. This omission is critically important and says a lot about our modern, secular culture.
Prager H1: In a more civilized society, the Tucson murderer would have been tried and executed by now. But under our liberalized justice system, it will take months and probably years before this maniac even gets to trial. When did football players start showboating in the end zone?… Dennis talks to Congressman David Dreier, chairman of the House Rules Committee. The congressman tells Dennis that people are still buzzing about the speech he gave to the Republican delegation ten days ago.
Prager H2: Notable Hollywood liberal, Alec Baldwin, does everything he can to run away from high New York taxes. MTV distinguishes itself again with a new series about explicit teen sex and drug use.
