Prager H2: Most of what we want is not good for us – cheesecake, potato chips, TV, sleeping in, and other dozen other things we can all think of. But if we give in to our “wants” we will make ourselves unhappy. Personal discipline, as difficult as it can be, brings us more happiness than yielding to most temptations.
Prager H3: Per usual, callers set the agenda. Issues raised include: is there really an afterlife; how do you teach a child not to have an inflated opinion of himself; can you reject the American Trinity and still be an American; is Left obsession with equality based on a false premise; should a parent let her young child where clothes with the peace sign on them.
Prager H1: Political races are tightening up across the country – in both directions. Republicans are gaining in some races and Democrats gaining in others. Political commentator, Juan Williams, gets the can from NPR. He told Bill O’Reilly that when he sees Muslims in Muslim garb getting on a plane, he gets nervous. That was enough for NPR to show him the door. But does anyone at NPR feel differently?.. Do you vote for the candidate or the party?
Prager H2: A moderator of a debate of Florida Senate candidates asked Republican Marco Rubio an obviously leading question, suggesting that even though Rubio is Latino, he’s really anti-Latino. Do Democrats every get treated like this?.. Dennis talks to Stanley Kurtz, Senior Fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, as well as a contributing editor for National Review Online. His new book is Radical-in-Chief: Barack Obama and the Untold Story of American Socialism.
Prager H3: Dennis reflects on the definition of socialism. It doesn’t mean that the government owns businesses. That’s Marxism. But it does mean that the government controls business. Dennis plays Marco Rubio’s great response to the attack question he played in hour two. Dennis talks to another impressive Republican candidate, Nan Hayworth, running for Congress in the 19th district of New York. A doctor (ophthalmologist), mother and businesswoman, she knows why Big Government is the problem, not the solution. Dennis also talks to Kelly McManaman from Atlanta, Georgia. She’s been inspired to become a Republican activist in this election.
Prager H1: Dennis talks to Sebastian Junger, best-selling author and renowned investigative journalist. His new book about his experience with soldiers in Afghanistan is War. A Best of Prager Hour. Originally broadcast on May 17, 2010.
Prager H2: Can you identify a major source of problems in your marriage? If this was corrected, would your marriage be much better? A Best of Prager Hour. Originally broadcast on December 16, 2009.
Prager H3: Dennis talks to Charles Murray, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, about Murray’s fear that we are giving up some fundamental American values to become more like European socialists. Is this what Americans really want or is it just sneaking up on us? A Best of Prager Hour. Originally broadcast on March 23, 2009.
Prager H3: Dennis talks to David Hazony, writer for New Republic and The Jerusalem Post. This is his first book. The Ten Commandments: How Our Most Ancient Moral Text Can Renew Modern Life.
Prager H1: Dennis talks to Van Tran. Born in Viet Nam, he loves this country and all the opportunities it has given him. Now a Republican State Assemblyman in California, he is running for Congress against Loretta Sanchez, a liberal congresswoman who has never met a spending program she wouldn’t vote for. The President’s “fear and frustration” speech to donors a few days ago has caused consternation even among liberals. France is grinding to standstill over the government’s attempt to move the retirement age from 60 to 62. Businesses are fleeing California in waves. And, the citizens of that state are seriously considering electing another Democrat as governor?
Prager H2: Angela Merkel, the President of Germany, declares that multiculturalism in that country has been an unmitigated disaster and should be abandoned. Multiculturalism, the belief that no culture is better than another, is a basic tenet of the Left. Dennis talks Cam Cavasso, running for Senate in Hawaii against Daniel Inouye, your classic, old school tax and spend liberal. Over the last two weeks, Cavasso has come on strong in the polls. A major upset is possible.
Prager H1: President Obama tells a small group of donors that the electorate is motivated by fear and frustration. Yes, Mr. President, fear of you and frustration that you promised to rule as Centrist, not as a Leftist. Maureen Dowd vents her ire at Republican women. But she doesn’t back up any of her mean-spirited charges with facts.
