Prager H1: With the fall of Yemen yesterday, Iran gets stronger. This is WWIII, due to the number of people that hate America and the west. The denial and appeasement of evil from this President and the hard left is astounding. They believe Iran will give up their pursuit of WMD’s by negotiating with America. 59% of tax money goes to social programs.
Prager H3: Dennis talks to Adam Lerrick, Professor of Economics at the Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon University and scholar at the American Enterprise Institute about the economic crisis in Europe… Dennis talks to film producer, Chip Flaherty, founder of Walden Media, and consultant on the new film, The Imitation Game… The President is living in a fantasy foreign policy world…
Prager H2: The Justice Department will not bring charges against Officer Wilson. Does that mean everyone at the Justice Department is a racist? Shouldn’t the NY Times and every other media outlet stop using “unarmed teenager” to describe Michael Brown? How about “a teenager to tried to grab a police officer’s gun.” Dennis talks to Judith Flanders, renowned historian of the Victorian Era. She writes for the Daily Telegraph, Guardian, Spectator, and the Times Literary Supplement. Her new book is The Victorian City: Everyday Life in Dickens’ London.
Prager H1: Do the people you employ – your housekeeper, your nanny, for example – know that you’re a Republican? Have you told them? What if you did? Callers weigh in.
Prager H3: The President returns to his typical American family (a Democratic operative and her husband) – Rebekah and Ben. The President says Rebekah isn’t asking for a handout, then she asks for a handout – free day care… The Left wants the government to take of us from cradle to grave… The President has a fantasy vision of what the world is like. That’s not reassuring.
Prager H2: NY Times Foreign Affairs columnist, Thomas Friedman, a big fan of the President’s, has his faith shaken by the Adminstration’s insistence not to identify our enemy – Radical Islam… Dennis continues with his deconstruction of the State of the Union address.
Prager H1: Dennis deconstructs the President’s State of the Union Speech last night. The President says we are turning “the page.” Turning the page on what? Isn’t Islamist terror worse than ever? Didn’t our abandoned Iraq led to the rise of Islamic State?
Prager H3: Perhaps the most famous verse in The Bible is “love your neighbor as yourself.” But rarely is the full verse quoted. This omission is critically important and says a lot about our modern, secular culture. A Best of Prager Hour. Originally broadcast on January 25, 2011.
