Prager H2: Life is full of “have to’s.” You have to work to make a living, have to raise your children, have to take out of the garbage. Is this a challenge to happiness or a reason for it or both?
Prager H3: Per usual, callers set the agenda for this hour. Issues raised include: how does the Army treat the parents and families of soldiers killed in action; who brought the suit against the War Memorial Cross in San Diego; what should a wife do about her husband who is jealous of Dennis; what does Dennis think of chiropractors; how should a Christian wife handle her Jewish in-laws.
Prager H2: Dennis talks to the great Thomas Sowell, scholar in residence at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University. His essential book Basic Economics: A Common Sense Guide to the Economy has now been issued in a 4th edition.
Prager H3: The assassination of a liberal politician in Pakistan is deeply disturbing. The murderer was not greeted with universal condemnation; on the contrary, the he’s been praised by Islamists, showered with rose petals on his way to court. The ACLU is trying to bring down another cross, this time in San Diego. The liberal 9th Circuit Court is always ready to lend a hand. What does a war memorial cross have to do with the government promoting one religion over another?
Prager H1: Dennis argues that religious adults should not be so rigid as to miss worthwhile R rated movies like “The King’s Speech.” He also makes the case that parents should expose their age appropriate children to important R rated films like “Schindler’s List.” Callers weigh in.

Prager H3: John Boehner was sworn in as the new Speaker of the House. In turn, he welcomed the new Republican Majority. They have their work cut out for them. Egypt is headed down a very dangerous path, blaming anything that goes wrong on Israel.A hero in Pakistan, a regional governor, a liberal reformer, was murdered by a member of his own guard.
Prager H1: Democratic governors in California and New York must act like Republicans in order to save the budgets of their states. They’ll have to fight the unions, the people who got them elected, to do it. The latest science recommends that you treat Alzheimer patients with compassion. We needed studies to figure this out?
