Prager H1: Dennis talks to David Gelernter, professor of computer science at Yale University, contributing editor at The Weekly Standard and keen observer of American culture. His new book is America-Lite: How Imperial Academia Dismantled Our Culture (and Ushered In the Obamacrats). A Best of Prager Hour. Originally broadcast on July 9, 2012.
Prager H3: On the eve of the Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish Year, Dennis addresses a subject that is at the heart of the holiday – forgiveness. Callers weigh in.
Prager H2: It’s very hard to do. Yesterday he denied Israel’s history in the Middle East. Does he believe his own lies?… France bans the use of the words “mother” and “father” from official documents. Now that they have same sex marriage, the government consider the words politically incorrect… Dennis talks to Michael Leven, President of The Las Vegas Sands Corp. Business leaders are reluctant to speak out against the government. If they do, they risk investigations, sanctions and other forms of intimidation. This trend has grown much worse during the last three years.
Prager H1: The President famously promised to transform America five days before the last election. If he wins a second term, he may succeed. Romney and Ryan should hammer that theme. We don’t want America transformed.
Prager H3: Dennis plays a clip from Jimmy Kimmel’s Emmy monologue last night. At least he acknowledged that it’s tough to be a Republican in Hollywood… What if we had a Republican President and suffered through this economy and these setbacks in the Middle East? What storylines would the press be pushing then?… Despite the tide of “bad news,” Romney supporters have reason for cautious optimism.
Prager H2: Dennis talks to Bill Kristol, editor of The Weekly Standard, about the state of the election… The President and Mitt Romney were on “60 Minutes” last night. The way each talked about Israel was very instructive.
Prager H1: When did this early voting fad start? We have made it too easy to vote. But ask for an ID, as every country does in Europe, and you’re advocating “Voter Suppression.”… Our quick exit from Iraq has been devastating both to that country and to our interests there and the Middle East. Have we once again snatched defeat from the jaws of victory?
Prager H3: Per usual, callers set the agenda. Issues raised include: what would Dennis say if he meet Jesus in heaven; can you support a company whose largest shareholder supports causes you don’t approve of; why don’t Muslims appreciate America.
Prager H2: It’s very difficult to be happy living with a Drama King or Queen. It is also hard to be happy if you are one. Can the King or Queen change?
