In Culver City, CA, a group of parents stepped to the lectern Tuesday night at a school board meeting in this middle-class, Los Angeles-area city to push back against a racial- equity initiative. The high school, they argued, should reinstate honors English classes that were eliminated because they didn’t enroll enough Black and Latino students. Callers weigh in.
The President made a surprise trip to Kiev as a show of support. Dennis agrees that we should back Ukraine against Russian aggression, but many conservatives do not. The right is deeply split on this issue.
Dennis decries another shopping holiday in lieu of Washington and Lincoln’s birthday. A previous generation knew the birthdays of those two great men by heart. No longer… The lack of patriotism in the country is not a plus; it’s a big minus.
Per usual callers set the agenda. Issues raised include: liberals want to feel good while conservatives want to do good, Ted Nugent quoted you on the radio; I homeschooled both my kids through high school, homeschooling does not save your kids from transgenderism; I’m a black conservative could you do a poll on how many black conservatives listen to you; I had polio and over the years I found myself not being a victim.
How does your nature affect your happiness? Can you be born happy? Can you be born unhappy? What impact does your environment have on your nature? Can you overcome your nature to be happy? These are not easy questions. Dennis tackles them head on.
If you want to impose “common sense” gun control, how do you intend to achieve it? And how you will achieve it while at the same time protecting the rights of American citizens… Why are people leaving California? The state has the best weather in the world, majestic mountains, and legendary beaches. Could it be high taxes, high crime, and crumbling infrastructure?
Dennis talks to Spencer Klavan, an editor at the Claremont Institute, He has written for The Atlantic, City Journal, the Claremont Review of Books, and many others. His new book is How to Save the West: Ancient Wisdom for 5 Modern Crises.
We often hear politicians say we have more in common than we have differences. Is it true or is it just pablum? Dennis has thoughts. So do callers.
Dennis has a new insight. Judaism and Christianity are the only religions who share a holy book. That book is the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament. Without that book the New Testament isn’t possible. Callers weigh in.
