Prager H2: Dennis continues his conversation with Nadia Al-Sakkaf and Felice Friedson from Hour 1 and then analyzes what it means in light of contemporary Islamic thought.
Prager H3: The unions want to reverse the new Wisconsin law restricting their bargaining rights in the courts. If they have to defame a judge to get what they want, so be it. The President gave a major energy speech. He wants to reduce our dependence on foreign energy. So, why doesn’t he push more oil development in the US?… A killer whale who killed one of his trainers returns to Sea World in Orlando. And the audience cheered the whale.
Prager H1: The President wants us to cut our dependence on foreign oil by a third in 10 years. He thinks it’s great if Brazil drills for oil, but not the US. Does this make sense to anyone?… If everybody got the exact same education would incomes be equal? That’s the liberal view. But there’s no evidence that this would be true. Character and commitment to hard work are much more determinative.

Prager H1: There were protests, complete with riots, in London. What were they protesting so passionately? Budget cuts. When you give people things, it’s very tough to take them away. The Green Party in Germany made big gains in Germany over the weekend. The Greens are left of the Left. The issue is nuclear power. Germany has been scared out of its wits by what happened in Japan. Dennis talks to Gwyneth Cravens, former editor of Harper’s Magazine and New Yorker Magazine about the latest from Japan’s nuclear power crisis. Her important book is Power to Save the World: The Truth about Nuclear Energy
