Prager H1: Dennis talks to Naomi Riley, journalist, and author of The Faculty Lounges: And Other Reasons Why You Won’t Get The College Education You Pay For.
Prager H3: Why did Casey Anthony’s defense attorney address the press in Spanish?… Dennis talks to science journalist, Mara Hvistendahl, about her new book, Unnatural Selection: Choosing Boys Over Girls, and the Consequences of a World Full of Men.
Prager H2: Dennis uses a NY Times article that asks “How Can We Get Men to Do More?” as a launching pad for this hour. Is this a legitimate question or does it go against human nature?
Prager H1: Casey Anthony will soon walk free. How did it happen?.. Her defense attorney didn’t distinguish himself afterwards. His non-sequitur thoughts on capital punishment were especially inane… What does reasonable doubt mean anymore?
Prager H3: Dennis plays clips from his appearance on Howard Kurtz’s CNN show, Reliable Sources. The issue was same sex marriage… The Casey Anthony verdict comes in during the hour. Not guilty!
Prager H2: Musing on the Casey Anthony trial, Dennis wonders whether defending criminals changes defense attorneys. Police admit that being around the dregs of society often has a negative impact on them. Why would it be different for criminal defense attorneys?.. Even if one accepts the Administration’s own figures, the cost of creating each stimulus-related job was $278K… Callers tell Dennis about their experiences using the 4th of July Declaration.
Prager H1: Dennis has received many emails from people who used the July 4th Declaration ceremony… Dennis talks about his appearance on Howard Kurtz’s CNN Sunday Show, Reliable Sources. The subject was same sex marriage… Dennis refers to a new Harvard study that suggests that when children attend 4th of July parades they tend to become conservatives.
Prager H3: Dennis repeats his point that if you can’t celebrate America, then you can’t celebrate any country. It’s sad that waving a flag or wearing the colors is considered to be “Republican”. A descendant of slaves calls in, and says that he can imagine his ancestors looking down, thinking that it might have been worth it to come to America as slaves so that their descendants could live as free people.
Prager H2: Broadcasting live on July 4th, Dennis addresses a left-wing caller who explains his discomfort with celebrating America’s birthday. Dennis explains why America is a country worth celebrating. If you can’t celebrate America, then what country can you celebrate? America should be compared to other countries, not to an imaginary utopia.
