Prager H3: Per usual, callers set agenda. Issues raised include: why is it hard to make friends with people who don’t share your political views; do men compare their spouses to strange women; how is the story of creation in Genesis different from other ancient creation stories; how did the term African-American come into popular usage.
Prager H2: The conventional wisdom is that a parent is only as happy as his or her unhappiest child. Is this true? If it is, how should a parent deal with it? A Best of Prager Happiness Hour. Originally broadcast on July 23, 2010.
Prager H1: Dennis defends the President’s defense of the NSA. To stop terrorists we need good intelligence… IRS is still going after Conservative groups… Koreans in Queens, New York accuse McDonald’s of racism.
Prager H3: If United States is the most open and free country in world history who do we thank for that? The answer is Christians… Dennis talks to James Piereson, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute. His new book, now out in paperback, is Camelot and the Cultural Revolution: How the Assassination of John F. Kennedy Shattered American Liberalism.
Prager H2: Many believe legalizing marijuana will have no adverse consequences on society. There is much anecdotal evidence to suggest this is not so. A writer in Atlantic Magazine relates how her father’s obsession with marijuana ruined his life and the life of his family… Dennis talks to Daniel Henninger, columnist for Wall Street Journal, about how the Left is successfully shutting up Conservative groups.
Prager H1: Another hardcore liberal woman falls in love with — oh no — a Republican. Guess whose friends are outraged? His or hers? Callers have their own similar stories.
Prager H3: The Supreme Court is ruling on a Massachusetts law that bans “speaking” within thirty-five feet of an abortion clinic. Dennis is joined by Nicole Gelinas, senior fellow at The Manhattan Institute, on her new Prager U. course: Rent Control, and weighs in on NYC’s new Mayor Bill De Blasio.
Prager H2: Often goes without saying, but predictability in a spouse is necessary.
