Prager H2: Dennis poses a thorny question to men: does your wife know your male sexual nature?
Prager H1: A group of scientists is agitating for a Declaration of Rights for Cetaceans – dolphins and whales… Ever heard of GID? You will. It’s the new frontier in the war against gender distinctions. A five year old boy in England thinks he’s a girl. All the power of the state is helping him affirm his “choice.”
Prager H3: Dennis poses an intriguing thought experiment: if you were murdered, what would you like done to your murderer? Would you wear a wrist band or have a designation on your license that would specify your wishes for your murderer? Death penalty or no death penalty.
Prager H2: President Obama says he supports the traditional definition of marriage and the media snickers. They know he’s not expressing his real view which is the opposite. Rick Santorum supports the traditional definition of marriage and the media is appalled…. The media is on full attack mode, parsing Santorum’s words and them distorting them to make him seem like “a radical.”… Adam Carolla stops by. Why can’t we make common sense judgments any more?
Prager H1: Dennis talks to Marwan Bishara, Al Jazeera English’s senior political analyst. His new book is The Invisible Arab: The Promise and Peril of the Arab Revolutions.

Prager H2: Thin Ice
Mark Taylor fills in for Dennis. Based on Rick Santorum’s recent comment about President Obama’s agenda not being based on the bible, was it a critical mistake or is he still electable? Mark asks why are we concerned with finding the “Most Conservative candidate?” when what we really need is the most electable candidate.
Prager H1: The Right Stuff
Mark Taylor fills in for Dennis. Mark starts the hour off with his memories of John Glenn’s 50th anniversary of his orbit around earth. Also, are you headed for a Stay-cation this summer? With gas prices on the rise where is all the usual big oil rhetoric?
