Prager H3: Did America become the richest nation in the world by virtue of government control or free enterprise?… Dennis talks to Lee Ohanian, Professor of Economics, at UCLA about his new Prager U. course, Did FDR End or Extend the Depression?, as well as Obama and Brown administration tax policy… The media has all but ignored a grisly trial of an abortion doctor in Philadelphia.
Prager H2: The LA Times wants the Aurora mass murder to spend the rest of his life in a psychiatric ward… If a conservative president had a mother of a murdered child give his weekly TV address to make the case for capital punishment, what do you think the media reaction would be? There would be outrage, of course. But the President has a Newtown mother make his weekly national address and the media thinks it’s enlightened. Double standard? Nah… Many in the UK have openly celebrated Margaret Thatcher’s death. Sick… Dennis talks to Ann Coulter, nationally syndicated columnist and best -selling author. Her newest book is Mugged: Racial Demagoguery from the Seventies to Obama.

Prager H3: Per usual, callers set the agenda. Issues raised include: have you noticed the rise in profanity in the left; what book do you suggest for a paper on American history; what is your take on the femininity of god…what do you think the basketball players answers were to the questions “how would you fare against someone like Michael Jordan?”; if the culture informs behavior as you have said, how does that jive with gay men being born that way.
Prager H2: Managing expectations — not expecting too much and being grateful for what you do have — is one of the keys to a happier life. Dennis draws a clear distinction between desires and expectations.

Prager H3: Obama Budget
The President’s new budget piles taxes on more taxes. The idea is to try to fund all the programs that the Left dreams about – day care, solar research, and so on. Too bad they don’t work. In the meantime, the nation’s debt continues to explode… A shop owner defends himself with a baseball bat against two men with gun and wins!
Prager H2: New Health Care
Thanks to ObamaCare get ready for a two tiered health care system – one that serves those who have the resources to pay doctors privately and one that serves everyone else with long lines, rationing and mediocre service… California Democrats work to strip The Boy Scouts of their tax exempt status… Dennis talks to John Allison, President of the Cato Institute.
