Prager H3: Greg Lukianoff, president of Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, joins Dennis to discuss his new book, “Unlearning Liberty.” It takes a look at the closed world of American Universities.
Prager H2: Can we have a selfless society without God? Europe provides an answer. Religious values are like cut flowers, as they leave the Judeo-Christian soil, they die. People focus on too much religion, but nobody focuses on what too much secularism can do. Left-wing ideology has helped destroy good men. The lowest birth rate in U.S. history was 2011. What does this portend for the U.S.?
Prager H1: Will we go over the fiscal cliff? The left speaks of higher tax rates on only folks like Warren Buffett, but will tax hikes hit others? We have gone from stigmatizing single motherhood to glorifying it. Republicans lack articulate spokesmen. Why? Because it’s harder to articulate the conservative position than it is to articulate the liberal position.
Prager H3: Per usual, callers set the agenda. Issues raised include: What’s the greatest human invention? What’s the greatest thing God invented? How does one convert a liberal? Did Dr. Eben Alexander’s near-death experience influence Dennis’ beliefs about the after life?
Prager H2: Callers set the agenda. Issues raised include: What brings us happiness on a daily basis? What role do children play in happiness? There’s a lot of wisdom behind the saying “fake it until you make it.” Is venting poisonous to a relationship? Is it a crime to steal someone’s happiness? Is a good check worth a lousy boss?
Prager H1: Dennis wonders why the Palestinians have their own refugee committee at the UN. The Left in America wants the International Criminal Court to have sway here in the U.S. Would this be a good idea? Why did teachers go from the Right to the Left beginning several decades ago?
Prager H3: Mark Isler fills in for Dennis, guests include author Andrew McCarthy, columnist/musician Rich Mgrdechian, and actor/singer Robert Davi.
Prager H2: Mark Isler fills in for Dennis. He continues exploring the question he posed first hour, and interviews Congressman Tim McClintock.
