Dennis broadcasts live to honor those who died protecting our freedom… Memorial Day is often confused with Veterans Day… A Best of Prager Hour. Originally broadcast on May 30, 2016.
Per usual, callers set the agenda. Issues raised include: how do you have a civil conversation with people who disagree with you; how does a conservative stay conservative in college; should kids be taught that there are winners and losers.
The more identities you have, the happier you are likely to be. For example, it’s healthy to have a national identity. What is a citizen of the world? It’s healthy to have a religious identity. Father and husband are other positive identities.
We are about to begin the Memorial Day weekend. Dennis reflects on the debt we owe to the men who died to protect our freedom… Headline of the year from McClatchy News Service: “Trump talks terrorism while Europe shouts ‘Climate!’”… The Republican won the open Congressional seat in Montana. Easily. The Democrats thought, because the President is “so unpopular,” that they would win.
Dennis welcomes Michael Walsh, political columnist for the NY Post and PJ Media. His latest best-selling book The Devil’s Pleasure Palace: The Cult of Critical Theory and the Subversion of the West is now out in paperback.
The NY Times is grappling with what to do with “non-gender specific” individuals. How you do describe them? He, she or they?… The Pope is obsessed with Global Warming. That’s too bad. A lot of Christians are dying in the Middle East… The President ask NATO nations to pay their fair share. The nerve!… Dennis talks to Mike Rowe, former host of the wildly successful show “Dirty Jobs,” and social media sensation. He recently wrote an eloquent defense of you, PragerU and clear thinking on Facebook.
A Portland, Oregon group is offended by the notion that white people might have the temerity to make “non-white” food. Think it’s joke? They succeeded in closing down a business. Dennis considers the deeper consequences of this kind of thinking.
Dennis talks to Michael Ledeen, Freedom Scholar for the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies. Their topic is the most maligned person in America today, Michael Flynn… Is Europe and the West enabling the terrorists… John Brennan, former head of the CIA, says he’s never been asked by the President to stop any investigation… When will imams around the deliver this message: that suicide bombers go straight to hell.
Sometimes divorce is necessary. But for what reasons? Most people have their list. Dennis has his. Callers have theirs.
