Show 477 Dennis Prager talks to Dinesh D'Souza, best-selling author and founder of the Y God Institute. His new book is Life after Death: The Evidence.

Synopsis of book-  Is death the end? Or, as bestselling author Dinesh D'Souza argues, do the latest discoveries in physics and neuroscience, the most convincing philosophical deductions, and the most likely conclusions from anthropology and biology lend increasing credibility to the prospect of life after death? Life After Death: The Evidence presents a reasoned, scientifically based case that life after death is more than possible, it is highly probable. Indeed it has far more evidence on its side than atheistic arguments about death marking our complete and utter extinction. In a stunning tour de force, D"Souza reveals:

* How modern science lays the groundwork for a science-based belief in life after death
* The distinctions between mind and brain—and why it is perfectly reasonable to assume that your immaterial consciousness can survive the dissolution of your material body
* The great atheist philosopher who provided one of the most ingenious proofs for the likelihood of an afterlife
* How the theory of evolution, far from undercutting the idea of life after death, supports it
* The evidence of Near Death Experiences—what it tells us, what it doesn't
* Why the Christian view of the afterlife is the most compelling and best suits the evidence
* What the probability of life after death means for our lives before death

Provocative, and combining a mastery of the arguments from philosophy, physics, and biology with an incisive analysis of how the world"s major religions have viewed the afterlife, D’Souza shows why we can expect that what Shakespeare called the "undiscovered country” will be discovered by us all.

 Biography- Dinesh D’Souza is cofounder and director of the Y God Institute. Formerly he was a White House policy analyst and fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. The author of several best-selling books, including Illiberal Education, What’s So Great About America, and What’s So Great About Christianity, he lives in Rancho Santa Fe, California, with his wife Dixie and their daughter Danielle.

Show 476 Michael Medved talks to SuperFreakonomics co-author Stephen J. Dubner  

Synopsis- The New York Times best-selling Freakonomics was a worldwide sensation, selling over four million copies in thirty-five languages and changing the way we look at the world. Now, Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner return with SuperFreakonomics, and fans and newcomers alike will find that the freakquel is even bolder, funnier, and more surprising than the first.

Four years in the making, SuperFreakonomics asks not only the tough questions, but the unexpected ones: What's more dangerous, driving drunk or walking drunk? Why is chemotherapy prescribed so often if it's so ineffective? Can a sex change boost your salary?

SuperFreakonomics challenges the way we think all over again, exploring the hidden side of everything with such questions as:

• How is a street prostitute like a department-store Santa?
• Why are doctors so bad at washing their hands?
• How much good do car seats do?
• What's the best way to catch a terrorist?
• Did TV cause a rise in crime?
• What do hurricanes, heart attacks, and highway deaths have in common?
• Are people hard-wired for altruism or selfishness?
• Can eating kangaroo save the planet?
• Which adds more value: a pimp or a Realtor?

Levitt and Dubner mix smart thinking and great storytelling like no one else, whether investigating a solution to global warming or explaining why the price of oral sex has fallen so drastically. By examining how people respond to incentives, they show the world for what it really is—good, bad, ugly, and, in the final analysis, super freaky.

Freakonomics has been imitated many times over—but only now, with SuperFreakonomics, has it met its match.

 Show 475 Lies, Terror, and the Rise of the Neo-Communist Empire: Origins and Direction

By Toby Westerman . Paul Ibbitson from his radio show The Consious of Kansas talks to the author.

 About the BookAbout the AuthorFree Preview.Lies, Terror, and the Rise of the Neo-Communist Empire: Origins and Direction,  is  essential reading for anyone who accesses the U.S. mass media.  

Lies, Terror, and the Rise of the Neo-Communist Empire  is a  discussion of the origins and direction of the terror alliance between militant Islam and resurgent neo-communist nations and revolutionary groups.  This work also considers the role of the anti-American American in making the United States more vulnerable to attack by undermining the military, giving foreign dictators unreserved adulation, and distorting America's image in colleges, universities, and schools.

Westerman"s work examines the survival and rebirth of Marxism as a powerful world force years after the collapse of the Soviet Union.  The author presents the espionage activities, guerrilla war tactics, and manipulation of the electoral process now used in Marxism’s reentrance upon the world stage.   Westerman demonstrates the threat posed by the neo-communist movement to U.S. security and the concept of individual liberty.  

The neo-communist movement remains  suspicious of, if not overtly hostile to, religion, but its leaders around the world have found that an alliance with militant fundamentalist Islam is advantageous.  The common enemy for both ideologies is the United States of America.

Lies, Terror, and the Rise of the Neo-Communist Empire provides a unique historical perspective on militant Islam, giving the reader an understanding of how Muslim militants look at history, the West, alliances with "infidels,” and the use of terror as a tool of conquest.

Show 473 The 10 Big Lies About America. Michael Lamb with For Faith & Family radio show interviews author Michael Medved. 49 minutes. ACU highly recommends the book.

 Synopsis of book- "It ain't so much the things we don"t know that get us into trouble,nineteenth-century humorist Josh Billings remarked. "It's the things we know that just ain"t so.”

 In this bold and brilliantly argued book, acclaimed author and talk-radio host Michael Medved zeroes in on ten of the biggest fallacies that millions of Americans believe about our country—in spite of incontrovertible facts to the contrary. In The 10 Big Lies About America, Medved pinpoints the most pernicious pieces of America-bashing disinformation that pollute current debates about the economy, race, religion in politics, the Iraq war, and other contentious issues.

 The myths that Medved deftly debunks include:

 Myth: The United States is uniquely guilty for the crime of slavery and based its wealth on stolen African labor.

 Fact: The colonies that became the United States accounted for, at most, 3 percent of the abominable international slave trade; the persistence of slavery in America slowed economic progress; and the U.S. deserves unique credit for ending slavery.

 Myth: The alarming rise of big business hurts the United States and oppresses its people.

 Fact: Corporations played an indispensable role in building America, and corporate growth has brought progress that benefits all with cheaper goods and better jobs.

 Myth: The Founders intended a secular, not Christian, nation.

 Fact: Even after ratifying the Constitution, fully half the state governments endorsed specific Chris­tian denominations. And just a day after approving the First Amendment, forbidding theestablishment of religion, Congress called for a national "day of public thanksgiving and prayer” to acknowledge “the many signal favors of Almighty God.”

 Myth: A war on the middle class means less comfort and opportunity for the average American.

 Fact: Familiar campaign rhetoric about the victimized middle class ignores the overwhelming statistical evidence that the standard of living keeps rising for every segment of the population, as well as the real-life experience of tens of millions of middle-class Americans.

 Each of the ten lies—widely believed among elites and taught as truth in universities and public schools—is a grotesque, propagandistic distortion of the historical record. For everyone who is tired of hearing America denigrated by people who don't know what they"re talking about, The 10 Big Lies About America supplies the ammunition necessary to fire back the next time somebody tries to recycle these baseless beliefs. Medved’s witty, well-documented rebuttal is a refreshing reminder that as Americans we should feel blessed, not burdened, by our heritage.

 Biography- MICHAEL MEDVED is the host of one of the most popular talk-radio programs in the country, reaching more than four million loyal listeners. He is the bestselling author of ten other books, including Right Turns, Hollywood vs. America, and What Really Happened to the Class of ’65? A member of USA Today’s board of contributors, he also writes a weekly column for Townhall.com. For more than a decade he served as cohost of Sneak Previews, PBS’s weekly movie-review show. Medved graduated from Yale with departmental honors in American history and attended Yale Law School as well. He lives with his family in the Seattle area.

Show 472 Michael Medved talks to Peter Schweizer author of Architects of Ruin.

 From Conservative Book Service about Architects of Ruin-  REVEALED: How and why an unscrupulous gang of Leftist activists and pols (including Barack Obama) savaged the housing market, laying waste to the economy

Architects of Ruin by Peter Schweizer

It happened so quickly: in 2008, the housing market went bust, leading to a global economic collapse. But in reality, this debacle had been a long time coming: Leftist activists, businessmen and politicians (including Bill Clinton and Barack Obama) had been laying the groundwork for the destruction of the housing market and the devastation of the American economy for decades. In Architects of Ruin, bestselling author Peter Schweizer explains how it happened -- and shows how today, the very same people who planted the seeds of the collapse are back in Washington, determined to use the crisis they caused as cover for a massive overhaul of the American economic system.

 Schweizer, the New York Times bestselling author of Do As I Say (Not As I Do), lays out the whole sorry story of how an unsavory coalition of Far Left policymakers and power brokers set out on what they regarded as a noble long-term effort to broaden homeownership among minorities and the poor. All they accomplished, of course, was to hurt the very people they were supposedly trying to help and damage the economy in ways that will take decades to reverse. Schweizer reveals that the seeds of the 2008 housing collapse were sown in the 1960s, when followers of Saul Alinsky, the legendary Chicago radical Leftist rabble- rouser, joined up with race-baiting activists like Jesse Jackson to argue that banks were guilty of racial discrimination. He details how in the 1970s, with the help of liberal senators like Ted Kennedy and William Proxmire, this initiative gathered steam with legislation that put bankers under the thumb of local activists.

But Schweizer shows that Leftists laid the groundwork for the housing disaster most energetically during the Clinton years, when a new generation of liberal technocrats came to power in Washington and on Wall Street. He describes how a powerful phalanx of elite liberals, including Bill Clinton, Robert Rubin, Andrew Cuomo, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Janet Reno, Deval Patrick, Henry Cisneros, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Ted Kennedy, Charles Schumer, and many others, aggressively pushed banks to make trillions of dollars in loans to individuals who should never have received them. Meanwhile, Clinton forged a new form of state capitalism in which the big Wall Street financial companies were repeatedly bailed out with their profits intact from a series of costly errors -- which only led them to take ever larger and more dangerous risks. The inevitable result? The bursting of twin bubbles in mortgages and mortgage-backed derivatives, leading in turn to a global economic collapse.

 We're not out of the woods yet -- not by a long shot: Schweizer shows that liberal activists are working with the Obama administration today to lay the groundwork for future bubbles in not only in real estate, but also in health care, the auto industry, and "green" technologies. Architects of Ruin is thus much more than just a story about the past -- it is also an urgent warning about the future. The Leftists responsible for the housing crisis have learned nothing from their past mistakes. Architects of Ruin proves that ordinary Americans who had to foot the bill for the last state-capitalist bubble have reason to be afraid -- very afraid -- of what is to come during the remaining years of the Obama Administration.

 Why the housing bubble burst, staggering the global economy:

 The housing crisis: a failure of capitalism -- or liberal social engineering?

 The chorus of liberal triumphalism that blamed the Right and the free market for the housing collapse, and sought to usher in a "new" New Deal -- all the while ignoring some inconvenient facts

 How the fair housing movement would probably have remained a fringe phenomenon had it not been for strong support from liberal politicians in Washington

 How the Clinton administration aggressively pushed billions of dollars in home mortgages to minorities, knowing they would never be repaid

 The Left's activist jihad against American banks: how a gang of liberal activists, labor unions, and politicians in Washington set the stage for the biggest bank heist in history, forcing banks to make more than $4 trillion in bad loans to people with poor credit

Bill Clinton's seduction of Wall Street and the birth of the bailout culture

 How liberal Senators Ted Kennedy and William Proxmire put the power of the federal government behind the "affordable housing" scam

 Playing the race card: how Democrats made credit a civil right

 How the Congressional Black Caucus and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus turned Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into nothing less than a private piggy bank

 How subprime mortgages were used to fund radical activist groups, including the apple of Barack Obama's eye, ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) -- to the tune of $9.5 billion

 How Barack Obama was personally involved in the affordable-housing racket as a young Chicago lawyer

 How Obama's top aide Rahm Emanuel made more than $46,000 an hour as a board member for Freddie Mac

 How prominent Democrats parlayed their "fair housing" activism into lucrative appointments to the boards of subprime lenders

 How liberal Congressman Barney Frank and Senator Chris Dodd profited from their alliance with subprime lenders -- and squelched investigations of the looming mortgage fiasco

 Brazen hypocrisy: how the very activist groups that once sued banks for failing to make enough loans in poor and minority neighborhoods are now suing those same banks because they loaned too much!

How the leading role of Democrats and their allies in the fair housing movement in the housing crisis has gone strangely unremarked by the liberal media elites

 How experts foresee another wave of mortgage defaults and predict that unemployment will continue to rise

 How Barack Obama plans to use liberal state capitalism to create the next big economic meltdown

Show 471 Dennis Prager talks to Michael Ledeen on October 15, 2009, Freedom Scholar at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. His new book is Accomplice to Evil.

 From Accomplice to Evil: "The world is simmering in the familiar rhetoric and actions of movements and regimes—from Hezbollah and al Qaeda to the Iranian Khomeinists and the Saudi Wahhabis—who swear to destroy us and others like us, and we are repeating the errors of the recent past. Like their 20th-century predecessors, they openly proclaim their intentions, and carry them out whenever and wherever they can. Like our 20th-century predecessors, we rarely take them seriously or act accordingly.”

 Acknowledging the existence and actions of evil enemies means accepting that we are at war, and then designing and con duct - ing a strategy to win. Accomplice to Evil takes a com pre hensive look at the errors we have made in the past when dealing with a mounting enemy force, why we've refused to acknowledge the implications of a rising evil, and how we can defeat the forces that threaten us today.

 About the Author - Michael A. LEDEEN, a noted political analyst, is a Freedom Scholar at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies. He is the author of The Iranian Time Bomb, Machiavelli on Modern Leadership, and Tocqueville on American Character, and he is a contributor to The Wall Street Journal. He lives and works in Washington, D.C.

 Show 470 The Soldiers' Story: Vietnam in their own words. Audio book selection. 45 minutes.

 Synopsis- Most history-minded Americans have discussed the Vietnam War, becoming familiar, at the very least, with the names of such pivotal events as the Siege of Khe Sanh, the Tet Offensive, and the Fall of Saigon. But to grasp the full impact of this agonizing conflict, the human costs of an infernal war that raged for ten years and took more than 58,000 American lives, one must hear about it from the soldiers, sailors, and airmen who experienced the fighting and endured.

In The Soldiers" Story, veteran journalist Ron Steinman gathers the candid reminiscences of seventy-six men who survived combat in Vietnam. Not a military analysis or political study, this oral history vividly conveys the hardships, friendships, fears, and personal triumphs of Marine, Army, Air Force, and Navy veterans—each of whom shares memories that have lingered to this day. It is a valuable frontline record of battle-torn Vietnam from the perspective of those who lived it first-hand, giving us a window into the horror, intensity, and raw courage that the war engendered.

Biography

Ron Steinman an award-winning news journalist and television producer, was NBC Bureau Chief in Saigon for two years, leading that network's coverage of the Tet Offensive. His awards include a Peabody, a National Press Club Award, and five Emmy nominations. He is executive editor of The Digital Journalist

Show 469 Michael Medved talks to the author of The Complete Infidel's Guide to the Koran by Robert Spencer

 Book Description- Written in an extremely accessible style by bestselling author Robert Spencer, "The Complete Infidel's Guide to the Koran" is a fact-based but light-hearted look at the key elements, values, and beliefs in the Koran.

 From the Inside Flap- The Koran: It may be the most controversial book in the world. Some see it as a paean to peace, others call it a violent mandate for worldwide Islamic supremacy.

How can one book lead to such dramatically different conclusions? New York Times bestselling author Robert Spencer reveals the truth in The Complete Infidel's Guide to the Koran: not many Westerners know what's in the Koran, since so few have actually read it -- even among the legions of politicians, diplomats, analysts, and editorial writers who vehemently insist that the Koran preaches tolerance.

Now, Spencer unveils the mysteries lying behind this powerful book, guiding readers through the controversies surrounding the Koran's origins and its most contentious passages. Stripping out the obsolete debates, Spencer focuses on the Koran's decrees toward Jews, Christians, and other Infidels, explaining how they were viewed in Muhammad's time, what they've supposedly done wrong, and most important, what the Koran has in store for them.

Show 469.5   60 Minutes tried to portray the Obama administration favorably. Attorney General Eric Holder said they had earmarked $200 million to the Medicare fraud division in the stimulus package.

Two problems there. #1, the corruption appears too massive:

But Tony, who has just begun serving his 12 year prison sentence, says there's no shortage of people in Miami waiting to take his place.

Asked how many people in Miami were doing this, Tony said, "I'd say at least 2,000 people. At least 2,000, 3,000 companies."

He estimated that less than 5% of these companies were legitimate.

And that's just Miami. #2: Government bureaucratic intervention will only encourage crooks to become more sophisticated while punishing legitimate companies - and increase the bureaucracy - by forcing them to fill out endlessly more paperwork.

Per MN Public Radio via Kaiser Health News:

Medicare fraud is difficult to find and prosecute without whistleblowers, says MN federal prosecutor Gerald Wilhelm. "'Medicare cases are often what I call the death of a thousand ankle bites,' Wilhelm said. 'Every bad claim is a dollar, but there are a billion bad claims so it's a billion dollars, and so to look at all of those claims is impossible.'" While some cases are obvious, "many cases fall into a gray area that mean second-guessing a physician's decisions." But "[t]he Medicare statute itself prohibits the government from interfering with the practice of medicine. Wilhelm said the question with Medicare is often whether a clinic billed the government for a more complex procedure than it performed or than the patient needed. He said it's like buying a Chevrolet and charging the government for a Cadillac."

And as much as MSM would like to portray Obama as the 1st Enlightened One to attain the presidency, not so fast. Kim Brandt, Medicare's director of program integrity, told Kroft, ""[O]ur primary focus over the past years has been to tighten our enrollment standards to make it so it's much harder for people like that to be able to get in the program, and to be able to commit that kind of fraud."

Well, that "primary focus" hasn't borne any antifraud fruit.

Brandt added, "Well, it really does come down to the size and scope of the Medicare program, and the resources that are dedicated to oversight and anti fraud work."

And the "size and scope" of nationalized healthcare would only be Medicaid on steroids."

Show 468 Dr. Roy Spencer speaks before the Young Americans Foundation

Show Dr. Roy Spencer author of Climate Confusion: How Global Warming Hysteria Leads to Bad Science, Pandering Politicians and Misguided Policies that Hurt the Poor. 40 minutes. 

For graphs and diagrams visit  Dr. Spencer's website at:

http://www.drroyspencer.com/

The current frenzy over global warming has galvanized the public and cost taxpayers billons of dollars in federal expenditures for climate research. It has spawned Hollywood blockbusters and inspired major political movements. It has given a higher calling to celebrities and built a lucrative industry for scores of eager scientists. In short, ending climate change has become a national crusade.

And yet, despite this dominant and sprawling campaign, the facts behind global warming remain as confounding as ever.

In Climate Confusion, distinguished climatologist Dr. Roy Spencer observes that our obsession with global warming has only clouded the issue. Forsaking blindingly technical statistics and doomsday scenarios, Dr. Spencer explains in simple terms how the climate system really works, why man's role in global warming is more myth than science, and how the global warming hype has corrupted Washington and the scientific community.

The reasons, Spencer explains, are numerous: biases in governmental funding of scientific research, our misconceptions about science and basic economics, even our religious beliefs and worldviews. From Al Gore to Leonardo DiCaprio, the climate change industry has given a platform to leading figures from all walks of life, as pandering politicians, demagogues and biased scientists forge a self-interested movement whose proposed policy initiatives could ultimately devastate the economies of those developing countries they purport to aid.

Climate Confusion is a much needed wake up call for all of us on planet earth. Dr. Spencer's clear-eyed approach, combined with his sharp wit and intellect, brings transparency and levity to the issue of global warming as he takes on wrong-headed attitudes and misguided beliefs that have led to our state of panic. Climate Confusion lifts the shroud of mystery that has hovered here for far too long and offers an end to this frenzy of misinformation in our lives.

From the Author-

I wrote Climate Confusion for several reasons. In contrast to other works, I wanted it to be an entertaining and easily understood primer on how weather and climate works, showing why manmade global warming is unlikely to be a serious problem for humanity. Furthermore, I wanted to explore the political, philosophical, and religious underpinnings of beliefs in catastrophic global warming, helping the reader to better appreciate why scientific research in this area has become tainted and untrustworthy. Finally, and possibly most importantly, by using basic economic concepts I wanted to counter currently proposed policy "solutions" to global warming that will have devastating effects on the world's poor.

Michael Medved talks to Martin L. Gross author of  National Suicide : How Washington Is Destroying the American Dream from A to Z . Medved talks to author

 The "New York Times" bestselling author of "The Government Racket" is back with a scathing indictment of government waste.

The government of the United States is a juggernaut of mismanagement, malfeasance and incompetence. Despite the strong foundation laid down by the founding fathers, it is headed to extinction.

From the Alternative Minimum Tax to Zip Codes, "New York Times" bestselling author Martin L. Gross outlines the programs that have exploded financially, the laws that had completely unintended consequences, and the scams perpetrated by legislators intent upon remaining in office no matter what the cost to the nation-and its citizens.

 Synopsis of book- If you think sex education is still about the birds and the bees, you're wrong. And it's not about science either. If you're a parent with children in the public school system, you need to know what's really going on.

 In You're Teaching My Child What? Dr. Miriam Grossman rips back the curtain on sex education today, exposing a sordid truth. Instead of teaching our children the facts of life, sex educators are lying to them, ignoring medical fact in favor of politicized, and dangerous, propaganda that could ruin your child's life forever.

 In You're Teaching My Child What? you'll learn what sex educators don't want you to know:

 * Why the discredited founder of "sexology"-dead for half a century-has more influence on sex education than today's most eminent neurobiologists

* How information your child gets about common infections like herpes, warts, and Chlamydia is whitewashed

* When "safe sex" isn't safe: why condoms won't protect your teens from some of the most serious sexually transmitted diseases

* How sex educators try to normalize fringe behaviors-ignoring the health risks to your children

The sex education establishment would like to lull you into thinking that they know best-but the epidemic of sexually transmitted infections in young people today is testimony to a system that's gone mad.

 Parents need to arm themselves and their children with the facts-the real facts of life. In You're Teaching My Child What? Dr. Miriam Grossman does just that, in an essential book to inform yourself and protect your children.

 Biography- Miriam Grossman, M.D., is a board certified child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist who began You're Teaching My Child What? as a senior fellow at the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute. Following the release of her last book, Unprotected: A Campus Psychiatrist Reveals How Political Correctness Endangers Every Student, published in November 2006 by Sentinel (Penguin), she was interviewed on more than 150 radio, news, and television shows. Dr. Grossman's work has received positive reviews in The Wall Street Journal, National Review, The Weekly Standard, The American Spectator, Townhall.com, NewsMax.com, and elsewhere. She is a contributing columnist at Townhall.com and speaks to parents, students, educators, and health professionals internationally on the dangers of political correctness in her profession. She lives in Los Angeles with her family and a beagle, Willie Prozac.

Show 456 Dennis Prager talks to Ishmael Jones, former Deep Cover agent for the CIA. (Ishmael Jones is a pseudonym). His book is The Human Factor: Inside the CIA's Dysfunctional Intelligence Culture… The former head of Greenpeace admits that the organization's statements about melting polar ice cap were fabricated… Pakistanis still hate Americans, even after the election of President Obama.

 Book Synopsis- After spending decades as an agent to the CIA, Ishmael Jones unravels the blunders and grave mistakes the US has made over the years. Jones conveys a true feel for the facts of real clandestine work. He tells his story straight, with dry wit, and takes personal blame where blame is due. Recently leaving the CIA to write this memoir, and with additional edits to conceal identities, the CIA has approved its publication.

Biography- Ishmael Jones was born in the United States and raised in the Middle East, East Asia, and East Africa. He attended universities in the US and served as an officer in the US Marine Corps. In the late 1980s he joined the Central Intelligence Agency, where he served as a deep cover officer focusing on human sources with access to intelligence on terrorism and weapons of mass destruction. His assignments included more than fifteen years of continuous overseas service in numerous exotic countries and several rogue nations. He resigned from the CIA in good standing. Ishmael Jones is a pseudonym, in accordance with laws that make it a felony to reveal the true names of deep cover officers.

Show 448 Dennis Prager talks to George Gilder, senior fellow at the Discovery Institute, and author of many seminal books. His new book is The Israel Test. 

 "Some people admire success; some people envy it. The enviers hate Israel."

The Israel Test by George Gilder.

The central issue in international politics, dividing the world into two fractious armies, is the tiny state of Israel. Now, in The Israel Test, George Gilder gives a surprising and original take on this seemingly endless conflict. He explains that the prime issue between Israel and the Palestinians -- contrary to both liberal and conservative assumptions -- is not land, and it isn't simply a matter of ethnic strife between the Arabs and the Jews, either. Gilder argues that it isn't even primarily a front in a global war of civilizations between the West and Islam. These conflicts are real and salient, says Gilder, but they obscure the deeper moral and ideological war. He explains here that the real issue is between the rule of law and the rule of leveler egalitarianism, between creative excellence and covetous "fairness," and between admiration of achievement versus envy and resentment of it.

Show 447 Thomas Sowell discusses the housing boom and bust on Hoover Institue's Uncommon Knowledge show.  This is an audio version of the video filmed on June 29, 2009. Second audio selection is from the Sean Hannity Show.

 Thomas Sowell analyzes the recent housing boom and bust, beginning with the underlying economic causes that artificially inflated housing costs in certain markets. He points the finger directly at political decisions in Washington - particularly involving Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - that enabled and promoted the financing of an unsustainable housing bubble in which the collapse of prices in a few inflated markets rapidly evolved into a national crisis. Sowell challenges the accepted wisdom of modeling a recovery based on the New Deal, which he asserts did little to help - and perhaps even extended – The Great Depression. Finally, he disputes the value of the recent stimulus package and argues against Obama"s health-care and energy initiatives. (34:13) Video transcript

 Synopsis of book- The financial tsunami has been followed by a political flood of rhetoric, accompanied by finger-pointing in all directions. Who was really responsible? What set this off?

 Biography- Thomas Sowell has taught economics at Cornell, UCLA, Amherst and other academic institutions, and his Basic Economics has been translated into six languages. He is currently a scholar in residence at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University. He has published in both academic journals in such popular media as the Wall Street Journal, Forbes magazine and Fortune, and writes a syndicated column that appears in newspapers across the country.

Show 445  Dennis Prager talks to Kimberly Kagan, President of the Institute for the Study of War. Her new book is The Surge… Reader's Digest is going into Chapter 11. It was once the most popular publication in the country. And, it did a lot of good… President Obama"s popularity is sinking like a stone. Why? The Dennis Prager show August 18, 2009.

Synopsis of the book- Understanding the role of combat in the Iraq war is essential for both the American people and the U.S. military. Recognizing the objectives of both sides and the plans developed to attain those objectives provides the context for understanding the war. The Surge is an effort to provide such a framework to help understand not only where we have been, but also what happens as we move forward.

Show 444 Audio version of video interview of  Professor Ian Plimer Launches Heaven and Earth; A Book About the Hot Air Surrounding Climate Change

To see the video of this interview visit-

http://www.abnnewswire.net/multimedia/en/60659/Ian-Plimer-Heaven-and-Earth-Climate-Change

 VIDEO: Australia's best known Geologist, Ian Plimer, Professor of Mining Geology at The University of Adelaide and Emeritus Professor of Earth Sciences at The University of Melbourne, has just published his seventh book titled "Heaven and Earth, Global Warming: The Missing Science".

 In an extensive interview with Brian Carlton, the Professor gives the background on this book as well as providing insights into the reasons why he believes that the concerns of the "climate change" crusaders is a "load of hot air".

 Taking ocean, earth, life, sun and heavens in context with the atmosphere gives a fresh perspective of the reasons why scientists are beginning to become aware that the new religion of "climate change" has captivated the uninformed, courted the politicians and threatening to cripple our capacity to develop as a nation.

 "We humans have experienced massive climate change. We've lived in glaciations, we've lived in times when it has been much warmer. So if you move from say Melbourne to

Hong Kong, there's a huge temperature increase. You don't die because of that, you adapt. Humans have done that over history, archeological and geological times. We have adapted, so a temperature change is not going to kill us, what it will do is that if we put in policies without a massive due diligence, we will put ourselves out of work, we will put our children out of work, we will shift businesses in Australia, which have a great advantage like mining, smelting and energy industries, we will shift them offshore."

 The book is a bestseller and in the few short weeks since publishing, is in its 4th printing. With over 2000 scientific references and endorsement by leading historian Geoffrey Blainey, this book is a powerful argument against the fundamental error of assuming that climate change is a man made catastrophe.

Show 443 Author Ian Plimer talks about his book refuting global warming. The Michael Medved Show -

Synopsis of book- In this controversial new book Australia's leading geologist makes the case that carbon dioxide is just one of many factors that drive climate -- and a relatively insignificant one at that. Heaven and Earth engagingly and comprehensively synthesizes what we know-- or think we know -- about the sun, earth, ice, water, and air. Heaven and Earth is a powerful argument against many of the punitive--and expensive -- laws that are now being passed to 'protect' our environment. Remember the great Alar scare of 1989? Remember when we were headed toward a New Ice Age? Remember when the Arctic was melting but the Antarctic was not? And when ethanol was the answer to everything? Ian Plimer's Heaven and Earth blows away the smoke and let's us look directly into the flame.

 Biography

Ian Plimer, twice winner of Australia's highest scientific honor, the Eureka Prize, is professor in the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences at The University of Adelaide and is author of six other books written for the general public in addition to more than 120 scientific papers.

 Show 442 Richard Land's special guest is William Dembski, research professor of philosophy at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in

Fort Worth, Texas, and the author of the book, The Design Revolution: Answering the Toughest Questions about Intelligent Design. Jul 20-21, 2009

For 150 years Darwinism has shaped scientific, academic and popular thinking regarding the complexity of life. That thinking has in many ways shaped our culture. This monolith has stood for so many years like a bastion against faith-seemingly impervious to the challenges of men and women of God. For years Darwinists have refused even to engage people of faith in dialog. Dismissing biblical accounts as mere fantasy, their mantra has been, "Show me the science!” That"s what today's guest is in the business of doing. Dr. Dembski is one of the strong voices in what has come to be known as the Intelligent Design movement. He is with us today to talk about his book, The Design Revolution.

 The intelligent design movement holds the promise to influence and shape our culture as Darwinism crumbles. Let"s commit to pray that as the world begins to recognize intelligence in design, God’s fingerprints in His creation, that will many will be led to a personal encounter with the Designer Himself

 Show 440 Michael Medved talks to author of Culture of Corruption: Obama and His Team of Tax Cheats, Crooks, and Cronies. By Michelle Malkin 8/11/09

 Synopsis- The era of hope and change is dead . . . .and it only took six months in office to kill it.

Never has an administration taken office with more inflated expectations of turning Washington around. Never have a media-anointed American Idol and his entourage fallen so fast and hard. In her latest investigative tour de force, New York Times bestselling author Michelle Malkin delivers a powerful, damning, and comprehensive indictment of the culture of corruption that surrounds Team Obama's brazen tax evaders, Wall Street cronies, petty crooks, slum lords, and business-as-usual influence peddlers. In Culture of Corruption, Malkin reveals:

* Why nepotism beneficiaries First Lady Michelle Obama and Vice President Joe Biden are Team Obama's biggest liberal hypocrites-bashing the corporate world and influence-peddling industries from which they and their relatives have benefited mightily
* What secrets the ethics-deficient members of Obama's cabinet-including Hillary Clinton-are trying to hide
* Why the Obama White House has more power-hungry, unaccountable "czars" than any other administration
* How Team Obama's first one hundred days of appointments became a litany of embarrassments as would-be appointee after would-be appointee was exposed as a tax cheat or had to withdraw for other reasons
* How Obama's old ACORN and union cronies have squandered millions of taxpayer dollars and dues money to enrich themselves and expand their power
* How Obama's Wall Street money men and corporate lobbyists are ruining the economy and helping their friends

In Culture of Corruption, Michelle Malkin lays bare the Obama administration's seamy underside that theliberal media would rather keep hidden.

Biography- Michelle Malkin is the author of three bestselling books, including the New York Times bestseller Invasion. She is the founder of two of the Internet's top conservative blogs, MichelleMalkin.com and HotAir.com. Malkin has worked in daily newspaper journalism since 1992, penned a nationally syndicated column for Creators Syndicate since 1999, and served as a FOX News Channel contributor since 2001. While working as an editorial writer/columnist for the Seattle Times, she won the Council on Governmental Ethics Laws (COGEL) national award for outstanding service for the cause of governmental ethics and leadership, and for investigative columns that exposed campaign finance abuses and corruption by Washington State Democrats, Republicans, and political organizations. After nearly a decade, Malkin escaped the Beltway swamp and now lives a much healthier, happier, uncorrupted life with her husband and two children in Colorado.

Show 439 Give Me a Break: How I Exposed Hucksters, Cheats, and Scam Artists and Became the Scourge of the Liberal Media From the Ritz Carlton Hote...all » Give Me a Break: How I Exposed Hucksters, Cheats, and Scam Artists and Became the Scourge of the Liberal Media From the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Chicago, the Heartland Institute presents John Stossel, author of "Give Me a Break: How I Exposed Hucksters, Cheats, and Scam Artists and Became the Scourge of the Liberal Media." In his book Stossel discusses his years as a consumer reporter and argues that through his reporting he has discovered the incompetence of the government's problem-solving methods. Stossel believes the general public is better served through the power of the free market. After the discussion Stossel answers questions from the audience.

Show 438 John Stossel, ABC News correspondent & co-anchor, 20/20, speaks at a Fraser Institute roundtable dinner in Vancouver, Canada, on "Myths, Lies & Downright Stupidity". Price gouging is good for consumers. Public schools don't need more money. Gasoline isn"t overpriced. Sweatshops are good for workers. A minimum wage hurts poor people. There is no cancer epidemic. DDT saves lives. Would you believe those statements are true? They sound crazy, right? But consumer advocate and best-selling author John Stossel can back them up. He explains that much of what we hear—and what the media reports—are myths. So how much stupidity will we continue to swallow? We still buy bottled water instead of drinking from the tap, and try to stay thin by not eating late at night. We pay rapt attention when a TV expert tells us what stocks to buy, and believe that video games cause violence. Is it true that teachers aren't paid fairly? Prepare to be surprised, corrected, and outraged as you learn how conventional wisdom is often wrong. John Stossel has reported for 20/20 since 1981 and was made co-anchor in 2003, replacing Barbara Walters. He has received 19 Emmy awards and been honored five times for excellence in consumer reporting by the National Press Club.

Show 437 China's Lost Girls.  National Geographic host Lisa Ling examines the consequences of China"s '’one child policy’’. Audio MP3

China’s Lost Girls Release Year: 2005 Duration: 43 min

 National Geographic host Lisa Ling examines the consequences of China’s two-decade-old, ‘’one child policy’’ designed to curb the country’s exploding population. Due to cultural, social and economic factors, traditional preference leans toward boys, so girls are often hidden, aborted, or abandoned. As a result, tens of thousands of girls end up in orphanages across China. Today, more than one quarter of all babies adopted from abroad by American families come from China—and nearly all are girls. Ling joins some of these families as they travel to China to meet their new daughters for the first time. Along this emotional journey, she shares in the joy of these growing families and also witnesses firsthand China’s gender gap, its roots, and its possible repercussions.

Show 436 Dennis Prager talks to Christopher Caldwell, columnist for the Financial Times, a contributing writer for the New York Times Magazine, and a senior editor at the Weekly Standard. His new book is Reflections on the Revolution in Europe.

Synopsis-  Can you have the same Europe with different people in it? The answer, says Christopher Caldwell, is no.

 Europe has undergone a demographic revolution it never expected. A half century of mass immigration has failed to produce anything resembling an American-style melting pot. By overestimating its need for immigrant labor and underestimating the culture-shaping potential of religion, Europe has trapped itself in a problem to which it has no obvious solution.

 Christopher Caldwell has been reporting on the politics and culture of Islam in Europe for more than a decade. His deeply researched and insightful new book reveals a paradox. Since World War II, mass immigration has been made possible by Europe's enforcement of secularism, tolerance, and equality. But when immigrants arrive, they are not required to adopt those values. And they are disinclined to, since they already have values of their own. Muslims dominate or nearly dominate important European cities, including Amsterdam and Rotterdam, Strasbourg and Marseille, the Paris suburbs and East London. Islam has challenged the European way of life at every turn, becoming, in effect, an "adversary culture.”

 The result? In Reflections on the Revolution in Europe, Caldwell reveals the anger of natives and newcomers alike. He describes guest worker programs that far outlasted their economic justifications, and asylum policies that have served illegal immigrants better than refugees. He exposes the strange ways in which welfare states interact with Third World customs, the anti-Americanism that brings European natives and Muslim newcomers together, and the arguments over women and sexthat drive them apart. He considers the appeal of sharia, “resistance,” and jihad to a second generation that is more alienated from Europe than the first, and addresses a crisis of faith among native Europeans that leaves them with a weak hand as they confront the claims of newcomers.

 As increasingly assertive immigrant populations shape the continent, Caldwell writes, the foundations of European culture and civilization are being challenged and replaced. Reflections on the Revolution in Europe is destined to become the classic work on how Muslim immigration permanently reshaped the West.

The New York Times - Dwight Garner

 Mr. Caldwell's book is the most rigorous and plainspoken examination of Muslim immigration in Europe to date, a sobering book that walks right up to, if never quite crossing, the line between being alarming and being alarmist…well researched, fervently argued and morally serious. It may serve as a dense, footnoted wake-up call to many of Europe's liberal democracies.

Show 435 Heaven and Earth - Professor Ian Plimer's new book . Michael Medved talks to author about Human Induced Climate Change.

 Recommended by Václav Klaus, President of the EU, 2009.

 "This is a very powerful, clear, understandable and extremely useful book. Ian Plimer fully exploits his unique scientific background in geology, his life-long academic experience, and his broad, truly interdisciplinary knowledge to dismantle the currently popular, politically correct but rationally untenable and indefensible position that the Earth is approaching catastrophic climate change and that we have to react – at all costs – to prevent it.

 Professor Plimer argues that the undergoing climate change is not unprecedented in history and that the temperatures in the 20th Century are not outside the range of natural variability. He rejects the unscientific idea that the explanation of climate change can be reduced to one variable (CO2), the proposition that there is a strong relationship between measured temperature and CO2 emissions, and the almost religious belief that we will stop climate change by reducing CO2 emissions. He rightly assumes that humans will be able to adapt to any future coolings or warmings.

 He also convincingly criticizes the UN, the IPCC, UK and US politicians as well as “Hollywood show business celebrities”. He strictly distinguishes science and environmental activism, politics and opportunism. The book I wrote two years ago “Blue Planet in Green Shackles” comes to very similar conclusions but I have to say that if I"d had a chance to read Professor Plimer’s book, my book would have been better.” (Václav Klaus.)

The hypothesis that humans can actually change climate is unsupported by evidence from geology, archaeology, history and astronomy.

 The Earth is an evolving dynamic system. Current changes in climate, sea level and ice are within variability. Atmospheric CO2 is the lowest for 500 million years. Climate has always been driven by the Sun, the Earth’s orbit and plate tectonics and the oceans, atmosphere and life respond. Humans have made their mark on the planet, thrived in warm times and struggled in cool times.

The hypothesis that humans can actually change climate is unsupported by evidence from geology, archaeology, history and astronomy. The hypothesis is rejected.

 A new ignorance fills the yawning spiritual gap in Western society. Climate change politics is religious fundamentalism masquerading as science. Its triumph is computer models unrelated to observations in nature. There has been no critical due diligence of the science of climate change, dogma dominates, sceptics are pilloried and 17th Century thinking promotes prophets of doom, guilt and penance.

 When plate tectonics ceases and the world runs out of new rocks, there will be a tipping point and irreversible climate change.

Don’t wait up.
