Prager H2: Mark Taylor fills in for Dennis. Sheriff Richard Mack joins Mark to discuss gun control.
Prager H1: Mark Taylor fills in for Dennis. President Obama tapped Chuck Hagel for defense secretary. Is he a good pick?
Prager H3: Per usual, callers set the agenda. Issues raised include: why is Hollywood so liberal; what is the difference between a good orchestra and a great orchestra; why do Jews tend to so strongly favor gun control; does Dennis like to visit places he’s been to and loved or does he prefer new places.
Prager H2: Can you be happy if you worry all the time? If you do worry excessively, what can be done to help you to stop? Dennis and callers have some ideas.
Prager H1: Chris Christie has hurt his credibility badly by whining that Congressional Republicans wouldn’t rubber stamp the pork-filled Sandy relief bill… Al Gore fought for Al-Jazeera to buy his cable network… Another African economist begs the West to stop sending aid…
Prager H3: Dennis talks to Richard Parry, Tokyo bureau chief for the Times of London. His new book is People Who Eat Darkness: The True Story of a Young Woman Who Vanished from the Streets of Tokyo–and the Evil That Swallowed Her Up.
Prager H2: The media is so afraid of insulting Islam that they have taken to referring to Mohammed as The Prophet Mohammed. Ever seen any newspaper refer to Jesus, as The Messiah Jesus?… France has a “Minister of Equality.”… Richard Cohen, the liberal columnist for the Washington Post, thinks he knows Conservatives.
Prager H1: Al Gore has sold his leftist cable TV network to Al Jazeera. Apparently, he thought they were a better match for his ideals than Glenn Beck, who also reportedly made an offer… Dennis talks to Alex Berezow, editor of Real Clear Science and Hank Campbell, founder of Science 2.0. Their new book is Science Left Behind: Feel Good Fallacies and the Rise of the Anti-Scientific Left.
Prager H3: A new study claims that those who are somewhat overweight live longer than those who are not. But no one comments on the source of the nonsense – BMI (Body Mass Index)… Dennis talks to Bill Kristol, founder and editor of The Weekly Standard about the tax deal… Kathy Griffin shamed CNN on New Year’s Eve. But no one at CNN seems to care, including, sadly, Anderson Cooper.
