Prager H1: Spanking, as form of discipline, has been out of favor for years. Screaming is the new spanking. But is it better? Callers weigh in. A Best of Prager Hour. Originally broadcast on October 27, 2009.
Prager H3: The Occupy Wall Street Movement wants people not to shop tomorrow, May 1. We should respond by doing the opposite – buying… More non-thought from Bill Maher. He’s a great marker for the Left because like Michael Moore he doesn’t censure himself. He’s an honest, religion-hating Leftist. Give him that.
Prager H2: Al Gore is still spreading panic, this time at Hampshire College. He also called for an “American Spring.” What is that?… Bill Maher claims there are no poor Mormons. Isn’t that a wonderful statement about Mormons.
Prager H1: A leading Chinese dissident has escaped house arrest and is now in the care of the US Embassy. How will the Administration handle this situation? The Chinese hold massive amounts of our debt. The stronger we are as a nation economically and militarily, the more able we are to defend freedom… Dennis is impressed by Navy cadets during a visit to a DC area cigar shop… A leading Earth-Is-Ending global warming advocate has recanted.
Prager H3: Per usual, callers set the agenda this hour. Topics raised include: does Dennis recall the Rodney King riots; what do you wear at a Bar Mitzvah; why do some items make the news and others don’t; is great art amoral.
Prager H2: If you’re not willing to trust people, it’s very hard to be happy. The risk/reward ratio is usually in favor of trusting.
Prager H1: Why did people cheer wildly when candidate Obama told them that America should be “transformed”?… Is the Commander-in-Chief also a political Intimidator-in-Chief? Does the Administration have an “enemy’s list”?.. The Labor Department issued an order banning children from doing farm work, but today had to reverse themselves. Does the Left have a clue how the middle of the country lives and thinks?… It’s one thing to lead from the rear, but it’s another thing not to lead at all. That’s what we’re doing in Syria. Nothing.
Prager H3: Dennis has an author on to discuss his new book, The Shadow Catcher. Living under an assumed identity and risking his life were all in a day’s work for U.S. Government Agent Hipolito Acosta. He worked regularly in high-stakes undercover operations infiltrating Mexico’s murderous immigrant smuggling rings and drug cartels.
