Prager H3: Dennis talks to Peter and Andrew Schiff. Peter is president and chief global strategist for Euro Pacific Capital Inc. Andrew Schiff is also an economist. Their new book is How an Economy Grows and Why It Crashes.Fourteen top climate scientists say they have no clue about what causes global warming. This single news item makes a mockery of the whole Global Warming panic.
Prager H1: Dennis poses the question: can one empathize with another’s pain if they have not experienced the same pain? It is a good thing that we can not empathize with everyone’s pain .it would crush humanity. Callers weigh in.
Prager H2: Dennis talks about how empathy led him to conservatism. He also touches on Gen. McChrystal versus Rolling Stone, Joe Biden’s Custard Shop visit, and the possible deportation of Mosab Yousef.
Prager H3: In order to be a good person one must battle their emotions. We are fully submerged in the age of stupidity. Dictated by feelings, people battle outside forces rather than the true battle within. “How do I feel about it,” has supplanted “Is it right or wrong?” Callers weigh in.
Prager H3: Remember what a big issue Gitmo was to the Democrats? Now it’s a non-issue ? Why?… Dennis returns to the multiple valedictorian issue. Some schools have as many of as a hundred of them. To the liberal mind, equality is the most important value. Dennis talks to Ziad Abdelnour, President & CEO Blackhawk Partners, Inc on why the rich are vilified and why that’s bad.
Prager H1: David Brooks writes in the NY Times that we are now living in a “culture of exposure.” Ironically, this “tell everything” style of reporting will lead to less good information, not more. “Protesters” rioted at the G20, smashing store front windows and burning cars. This is de rigeur at economic summits and following NBA championships. The Frank/Dodd reform is a 2000 page muddle. The only guaranteed result is full employment for lawyers.
Prager H2: At a G20 press conference, President Obama wonders why anyone would doubt that he would be a transformational leader. He promised he would fundamentally change America, didn’t he?… Dennis talks to Gabriel Schoenfeld, senior fellow at the Hudson Institute in Washington, D.C. His new book is Necessary Secrets: National Security, the Media, and the Rule of Law. High schools now routinely have multiple valedictorians.
Prager H1: The Business Roundtable, a group of Big Business companies, are shocked that the Obama Administration and the Democrats have stabbed them in the back. They thought if they played along with ObamaCare and Cap and Trade that the Administration would protect them confiscatory taxes and overregulation. Now they know they were wrong. CEO’s may know how to run international companies, but they don’t know the Left. How can any military strategy work in Afghanistan if our enemies and our friends know we’re leaving in a year?… Congress is ready to pass another “two thousander,” another two thousand page bill – this time financial regulations. Senator Dodd, the chief sponsor of the bill, admits he doesn’t know what’s in it. European countries are cutting their already puny defense budgets.
Prager H2: This is one of Dennis’s great lines – life is relentless. There are no time outs. Every day we battle something in our effort to stay happy. Different people have different battles. But everybody has something. Simply recognizing this fact makes the struggle a little easier.
