Prager H1: The shutdown rolls into its second day… Democrats create government programs that create all sorts of problems then create another program to fix the program that isn’t working… Dennis talks to Randall Kennedy, Professor of Law, Harvard University. His new book is For Discrimination: Race, Affirmative Action, and the Law.
Prager H3: What is the greatest sin? Doing evil in the name of God. Dennis explains.
Prager H2: Who is going to win the political struggle over the government shut down? The Republicans have a defensible position, but can they get their message out?… CNN claims that the President of Iran denounced “the Holocaust,” but he never used those words… Amazon is hiring 70K holiday workers.
Prager H1: The government has shut down – kinda… Dennis talks to Florida Congressman, Ron DeSantis, about where Republicans (and Democrats) stand on the shutdown issue… Republicans have added two conditions to their budget and only two – exempt individuals from the ObamaCare mandate for a year; force Congress follow the same health care rules as the rest of the country.
Prager H3: If the government shuts down, we will survive… Is the new President of Iran a wolf in sheep’s clothing? Every indication is that the answer is yes… The Dean of Climatology in the US, MIT’s Richard Lindzen, calls the IPCC report “hilariously inept.”… Do the Republicans still hold a trump card in their shutdown debate – the Vitter Amendment that compels Congress to subscribe to ObamaCare… A judge in New Jersey orders the legalization of same-sex marriage.

More talks, buys Iran more time to achieve that goal… Dennis talks to Phillip Swagel, Professor of Economics at the University of Maryland about the government shut down and the debt ceiling debates… Dennis talks to Kenneth Meshoe, a member of the South African parliament. Meshoe, a black South African, teaches the latest Prager University course – A South African, Israel and Apartheid.
Prager H1: Washington is all atwitter about a pending government shut down. It’s not something anybody should want, but if it happens, it’s not a disaster. Democrats may think it’s the end of the world, but they think everything that doesn’t go their way is the end of the world… Dennis talks to Jim Jones, the President of the Well Spring Benefits Group, about how one can negotiate the confusing mess that is ObamaCare.
Prager H3: Per usual, callers set the agenda. Issues raised include: should political and religious topics be excluded in a social situation; can you be conservative and not religious; is it okay to waste time.
