Show 511  The Great Inflation and Its Aftermath. The Past and Future of American Affluence. Written by Robert J. Samuelson. Michael Medved talks to author.

  ABOUT THIS BOOK- It’s a giant gap in our history. The Great Inflation, argues award-winning columnist Robert J. Samuelson in this provocative book, was the worst domestic policy blunder of the postwar era and played a crucial role in transforming American politics, economy, and everyday life–and yet its story is hardly remembered or appreciated. In these uncertain economic times, it is more imperative than ever that we understand what happened in the 1960s and 1970s, lest we be doomed to repeat our mistakes.

 From 1960 to 1979, inflation rose from barely more than 1 percent to nearly 14 percent. It was the greatest peacetime inflationary spike in this nation’s history, and it had massive repercussions in every area of our lives. The direct consequences included Ronald Reagan’s election to the presidency in 1980, stagnation in living standards, and a growing belief–both in America and abroad–that the great-power status of the United States was ending. The Great Inflation and Its Aftermath traces the origins and rise of double-digit inflation and its fall in the brutal 1981-82 recession, engineered by the Federal Reserve under then-chairman Paul Volcker and with the staunch backing of Reagan.

 But that is only half the story. The end of high inflation triggered economic and social changes that are still with us. The stock market and housing booms were both direct outcomes; American business became more productive–and also much less protective of workers; and globalization was encouraged.

 We cannot understand today’s world, Samuelson contends, without understanding the Great Inflation and its aftermath. Nor can we prepare for the future unless we heed its lessons. This incisive and enlightening book will stand as the authoritative account of a watershed event of our times.

 Praise for The Great Inflation and Its Aftermath

"Newsweek and Washington Post columnist Samuelson is one of the rare journalists who debates politics and economics with a healthy skepticism toward conventional wisdom. Politicians would do well to study [the errors] the past that teach that choosing quick fixes only delays and worsens the inevitable.”– Booklist

 "If you want to understand the economic events of the last half century, you should read. . . Robert Samuelson's The Great Inflation and Its Aftermath: --U.S News & World Report.

Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele released a book during the week of January 4 without the input of the party's leaders, a move that may be the most recent in a series of missteps for Steele.

From the Republican National Committee's Michael Steele: A solid, conservative "12-step program" to restore America's glory

"A long-overdue battle cry for a fresh, energetic conservatism to fight Obama's socialist vision." -- SEAN HANNITY

Right Now: A 12-Step Program for Defeating The Obama Agenda

by Michael Steele

Now more than ever, the Obama-led Left in America is openly attacking the foundations of the American experiment. They believe that the government is smarter than you are, and entitled to make all your most important life decisions. They believe that real freedom isn't doing what you want to do, but doing what government lets you do. Even worse, they brook no disagreement, and enforce their hegemony through the most influential positions of power in America: the presidency, majorities in the House and Senate, activist judges, the print and broadcast media, and the academic community.

 But now Michael Steele, the dynamic and outspoken chairman of the Republican National Committee, is standing up and saying enough is enough. In Right Now: A 12-Step Program for Defeating The Obama Agenda, Steele sets out a bold conservative plan to reclaim America from the socialist Left, and reclaim our freedoms from those who want to control our lives.

The road to restoring the conservative movement, the Republican Party, and the nation, says Steele, begins with admitting our mistakes. The Republican Party hasn't moved too far to the Right, as the conventional wisdom claims, but too far to the Left. It is time, says Steele, for America to part ways with liberal groupthink, hypocrisy, and hero worship, and to return to our founding principle: the protection of individual rights, leading to liberty and justice for all. Liberalism, he points out with refreshing clarity, doesn't work, and conservatives need to distinguish their principles sharply from liberal ones.

 Steele points out that Barack Obama's "Reign of Error" is propelled by a single idea that unites his policies: he trusts government more than he trusts the American people. And with Democrats moving against personal freedom in numerous ways, the fundamental American right to dissent from government policies is being threatened -- and must be defended. Steele also explains how and why we must take back the economy, pointing out that "with the Democratic Congress acting as little more than a rubber stamp for President Obama's most expensive wishes, the liberals' brief time in office has already produced trillions of dollars in new debt, rising unemployment, the specter of inflation and a weakening dollar, and a new raft of suffocating regulations on businesses." For that and other reasons, says Steele, "in the best spirit of President Reagan, it's time to saddle up and ride. Our country needs us."

Americans are still searching for new ideas, Steele maintains, and this represents an opportunity for conservatives to present fresh proposals and win the confidence of a new generation of voters. "Our principles are right," says Michael Steele, "but we have not always talked about them effectively." Right Now is a sound conservative solution to that problem.

 Restoring conservatism, Republicanism -- and America:

 How Republicans have a duty to remind all Americans of the price paid in blood so we could all claim the undeniable truth that all men are created equal, and that each has the inalienable right to conduct his or her own life as he or she sees fit -- not on condition of government approval

 How liberals' increasing intolerance reflects a disturbing hubris in the liberal mindset

 Unsolicited advice for President Obama: he won't bring people to liberty by apologizing for the freest nation on earth and making nice with fascists and tyrants

 How Obama has overstepped the bounds of responsible governance and basic accountability -- and how his promises of bipartisanship have been exposed as empty rhetoric papering over the same old liberal, big- government agenda

 The two most valuable preconditions to advancing any legislative agenda

 How modern liberals come up with so many policies that inflict so many bad things on so many good people -- the flawed principle of liberalism from which their dangerous policies come

 The simple principle on national security issues that separates Republicans from most Democrats

 How, after spending years undermining public confidence in our election system, Democrats have tried to game that very system by securing behind-the-scenes jobs for thousands of unscrupulous leftwing activists in conducting the 2010 U.S. Census

 Why the liberal vision of America as an acid stew of bigotry, historic offense, and unchecked individualism is simply bizarre

 How Democratic congressmen, senators, and even presidents proclaim the virtues of public education and the evils of vouchers and private schools -- but when the public schools are a wreck, they're the first ones to jump ship

 Why it's long past time for liberals to stop whining about how Republicans ran the federal government under President Bush

 How national security should not be a game for scoring political points, but should instead reflect a common purpose and understanding of America's exceptional role in an increasingly dangerous and unfriendly world

 Revealed: the dirty little secret of why liberals breezily dismiss the threat of al-Qaeda, Iran, and other enemies, and focus all their attacks on Republicans

 How a government big enough to give you everything you want is strong enough to take everything you have

"Michael Steel's book is a prescription for not only returning the Republican Party to power -- it's an action plan for bringing the party of Lincoln back to the conservative principles upon which both it and the nation were founded. It's a must-read for everyone who believes that "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" is more than an antiquated catchphrase in a historical document. -- MARK R. LEVIN, New York Times bestselling author of Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto

 "In the face of exploding deficits, an attempt to nationalize healthcare, and the erosion of the values that made America great, Michael Steele is taking a stand. Upon witnessing the suffering of the United States and the Republican Party when it abandons its core conservative principles, Steele sounds a long-overdue battle cry for a fresh, energetic conservatism to fight Obama's socialist vision." -- SEAN HANNITY

 With wit and insight, passion and judgment, Michael Steele points the way to a GOP comeback." -- WILLIAM J. BENNETT, host of nationally syndicated radio show Morning in America and former Secretary of Education under President Reagan

Show 508 From the podcast For Faith and Family- The Design Revolution. Jan 14-15, 2010 -  50 minutes. 11MB.

 Today 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.

 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!â€� 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 507.5 Thomas Sowell’s book Intellectuals and Society. Hoover Institute interviews author.  

Thomas Sowell unmasks the intellectuals who exalt themselves by denigrating our society -- and are working to destroy it

Intellectuals and Society by Thomas Sowell

 These intellectuals, Sowell says, are surrounded by a huge array of people and groups who disseminate their ideas: journalists, teachers, staffers to legislators, law clerks, and other members of the intelligentsia. Thus their influence on the course of society can be considerable, or even crucial. He shows how intellectuals have -- on issues ranging across the spectrum from housing policies to laws governing organ transplants -- sought to have decision- making discretion taken from those directly involved, who have personal knowledge and a personal stake, and transferred to third parties who have neither, and who pay no price for being wrong.

Sowell shows how intellectuals have filtered information in the media, in the schools, and in academia, to leave out things that threaten their vision of the world. Intellectuals' downplaying of objective reality and objective criteria, says Sowell, extends beyond social, scientific, or economic phenomena into art, music, and philosophy. Above all, he reveals how intellectuals exalt themselves by running America down and turning Americans against each other. Whether the subject is crime, economics, or other matters, intellectuals hold positions that are conspicuously different from those held by society -- while presenting themselves as intellectually and morally superior to ordinary folk.

 Their vision of the world, Sowell explains, includes a role for themselves as a self-anointed vanguard, leading the ignorant masses toward a better world. They treat those whose ideas or vision are different as unworthy obstacles to progress, nuisances to be disregarded, circumvented, or discredited, rather than as people on the same moral and intellectual plane, whose arguments are to be engaged factually and logically. Sowell points out how college speech codes with subjective criteria and "re-education" provisions for those expressing "benighted" opinions emphasize how intellectuals demonize and marginalize their opponents.

 Sowell shows how this vision that intellectuals have of themselves as the anointed is a major obstacle preventing examining their opinions in light of evidence and experience. He tears the cover off the ruthlessness with which the anointed assail their conservative opponents, in defiance of ever mounting evidence against their pet theories -- like the "root causes" of crime.

 The wisdom and insight of Thomas Sowell:

 How intellect is not wisdom, and what the difference is

 One of the surprising privileges of intellectuals: the free granted to them to be scandalously asinine without harming their reputation

 "Public intellectuals" like Bertrand Russell and Noam Chomsky who dabble -- often with disastrous results -- in fields other than the ones in which they made their name and reputation

 Top-ranked intellectuals who have made utterly irresponsible statements and advocated hopelessly unrealistic and recklessly dangerous things

 How many intellectuals and their followers are far more impressed than they should be by the fact that highly educated elites like themselves have far more knowledge than does the population at large

 Central planning: just one of many ideas popular among intellectuals that depends on the underlying assumption that people with more knowledge should be guiding society

 Why free markets, judicial restraint, and reliance on decisions and traditions growing out of the experiences of the many -- rather than the presumptions of an elite few -- are so important to those who do not share the social vision prevalent among intellectual elites

 How the association of intellectuals with violence occurs too often to be dismissed as an aberration

 How, on so many issues, intellectuals have tended to dismiss, rather than answer, the objections of those with opposing views

 How saying that it is hard or impossible to discern what was meant by a law has often been a prelude to making decisions that ignore even the plainest meanings of laws in order to impose notions currently in vogue in elite circles as the law of the land

 Bureaucracies: how they're often able to turn the visions of the intelligentsia into the law of the land, subject to little correction from those who know better or who suffer the consequences

 Why teachers are universally held unaccountable for the consequences -- either to their students or to society in general -- of their disastrous educational theories

 How the societal elites propped up by the intellectuals imposes few constraints on those intellectuals -- so long as they are propounding the prevailing vision of the anointed

Among Americans today, Sowell concludes, the steady encroachment of policies, practices, and laws based on ideas forced upon us by the intelligentsia has steadily narrowed the scope of the freedoms ordinary Americans have always had -- freedom to run their own lives, as well as to shape government policy. Intellectuals and Society unravels in clear, non-intellectual terms some of the puzzling phenomena in the world of the intellectuals -- analyzing the nature and role of intellectuals in society and exploring the ominous implications of that role for the direction in which the Leftist intelligentsia are taking our society and Western civilization in general.

There has probably never been an era in history when intellectuals have played a larger role in society – and yet few Americans know these immensely influential people who are doing so much to steer our nation off course. But now, the latest thought-provoking book from the renowned conservative thinker Thomas Sowell, offers you a unique introduction to the world of intellectuals. Intellectuals and Society introduces you to the thinkers of our society, many of them unknown to the general public, who mold our society and make an impact on people in every walk of life, both for the better and for the worse -- but usually for the worse. Sowell's vision, as expansive as ever, ranges over economics, politics, the media, academia, the law, and even war as he shows the momentous ways in which this small group of people wields a baneful influence upon our nation and Western civilization as a whole. 

Show 507 Book- Courting Disaster: How the CIA Kept America Safe and How Barack Obama Is Inviting the Next Attack. Audio MP3

 Show 507 Courting Disaster: How the CIA Kept America Safe and How Barack Obama Is Inviting the Next Attack. Michael Medved interviews author Marc Thiessen.  

 How the CIA's enhanced-interrogation program prevented a "second wave" of attacks on America -- and how President Obama is putting us in danger again

Few Americans know of al Qaeda's 2006 plot to hijack seven American passenger jets and blow them up as they crossed the Atlantic. Fewer still know that this was just one of many post-9/11 terrorist plots that were foiled thanks to information obtained by waterboarding the captured 9/11 mastermind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed ("KSM�). Yet, immediately upon taking office, President Barack Obama began to dismantle this vital program, and released reams of documents describing the techniques used to interrogate KSM and other high-value terrorists -- claiming that such techniques not only constituted "torture" but were also ineffective. While Obama's release of these documents has done enormous damage to our national security, it has also make it possible to prove that he is wrong on both counts.

 Courting Disaster: How the CIA Kept America Safe and How Barack Obama Is Inviting the Next Attack contains some of the most sensitive intelligence information our country possesses: the secrets behind how the CIA successfully interrogated the men who killed thousands on September 11, 2001, and stopped them from killing thousands more. Written by former Bush administration insider Mark Thiessen -- who spent countless hours with the individuals who ran the CIA program -- Courting Disaster tells the story of how America's dedicated intelligence professionals went head- to-head with the world's most dangerous terrorists, got them to tell us their plans, and kept America safe for eight years -- until Barack Obama exposed their secrets to the enemy, unilaterally disarmed in the face of terror, and invited the next attack.

In exposing these secrets, writes Thiessen, President Obama repeated a number of lies about the CIA program -- falsehoods that have been widely echoed in the news media and have become part of the conventional wisdom. Courting Disaster challenges that conventional wisdom, and refutes the false arguments that have been made Obama and the critics of the CIA program. For instance:

 Obama and other critics have charged that enhanced interrogation techniques such as waterboarding are "torture." Thiessen shows why they are not.

 Obama has said the CIA program "did not make us safer." Thiessen proves that it did.

 Obama has said that America could have "gotten [the] same information without resorting to these techniques." Thiessen shares the secret behind the success of the CIA program -- and why we could not have gotten the vital intelligence it produced without these techniques.

 Obama said that releasing highly-classified information about the CIA program did not damage our security because "so much of the information. . .had been publicly acknowledged. The covert nature of the information had been compromised." Thiessen provides specific examples of how the information Obama released -- information that was not publicly known -- will aid our enemies and put America at greater risk of another terrorist attack.

 Obama went to the CIA and told the men and women who work there "you'e got my full support." Thiessen shows how Obama's actions have decimated morale at the CIA, damaged our ability to recruit and retain quality officers for the counter-terrorism mission, and made our intelligence community increasingly risk-averse at a time when we need them leaning forward to stop new attacks.

 Obama has said the CIA program is not "consistent with who we are" and that it "corrodes the character of [our] country." Thiessen shows why the program is not only essential to our security, but fully consistent with the values of our country.

 Obama has said that the CIA program damaged America's reputation and "undermine[d] our moral authority" in the world. Thiessen shows why it is the critics -- not the men and women of the CIA -- who have damaged America's reputation with false accusations of torture, and shameful comparisons of the actions of CIA officials to those of the Khmer Rouge and Japanese war criminals.

Among the most revealing disclosures in Courting Disaster are the many specific terrorist plots that were foiled thanks to from interrogations of terrorists in CIA custody. You'll discover, for instance, how information from detainees in CIA custody led to. . .

 . . .the arrest of al Qaeda terrorist Jose Padilla, who was sent to America on a mission to blow up high-rise apartment buildings using natural gas

 . . .the capture of a cell of Southeast Asian terrorists which had been tasked by KSM to fly a passenger jet into the Library Tower in Los Angeles

 . . .the capture of Ramzi Bin al-Shibh, KSM's right-hand-man in the 9/11 attacks, just as he was finalizing plans for a plot to hijack airplanes in Europe and fly them into Heathrow airport and buildings in downtown London

 . . .the disruption of a plot to replicate the destruction at our embassies in East Africa -- this time in Pakistan

 . . .the disruption of a plot to blow up our Marine base in Djibouti, which could have rivaled the 1983 bombing of our Marine barracks in Beirut

 . . .the breaking up an al Qaeda cell that was developing anthrax for terrorist attacks inside the United States

America has gone nearly eight years without another terrorist attack on our soil for one reason only: in the months and years after 9/11, we captured many of al Qaeda"s top operational leaders and got them to tell us what they were planning. This achievement is taken for granted in some quarters today. But think back to that morning of September 12, 2001. Would you have believed, back then, that it was possible? If not, read Courting Disaster to find out who to thank, how they did it -- and how President Obama is putting America in danger again.

Show 506 Book- Comeback America. Turning the Country Around and Restoring Fiscal Responsibility. Audio MP3

 Show 506 Book- Comeback America. Turning the Country Around and Restoring Fiscal Responsibility by  David Walker. Michael Medved talks to author.  

 ABOUT THIS BOOK- He's one of America's most capable, canny, candid, and independent financial experts. Now David M. Walker sounds a call to action. Comeback America is a tough-minded, innovative, inspiring guide to help us avoid the approaching economic abyss and put the country back on track again.

 As comptroller general of the United States and head of the Government Accountability Office (GAO)—"the nation's top auditor"—Walker warned Congress and the administration as the federal surplus became a giant deficit under George W. Bush. As president and CEO of the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, he now works full-time to raise public awareness regarding mounting debt burdens being imposed on future generations. Comeback America is his crucial manifesto, a way for President Obama to end out-of-control government spending and reform our tax, retirement, health care, defense, and other systems—before it's too late.

 Walker believes that by 2030, absent significant reforms to current government programs and policies, federal taxes could double from current levels, meaning less money and poorer education for kids—which will hurt families along with our nation's economic strength and position in the world. If our foreign creditors—such as China—decide to buy fewer of our Treasury bonds, interest rates will rise and cars and homes will become less affordable.

 But it doesn't have to be that way. Comeback America shows how we can return to our founding principles of fiscal responsibility and stewardship for future generations. The book includes bold ideas to control spending, save Social Security, dramatically alter Medicare, and simplify the tax code—all taking into account the Obama Administration's current efforts, which receive never-before-published assessments both complimentary and critical.

     Nonpartisan, nonideological, and filled with a love of the country its esteemed author has spent his life serving, Comeback America is a book for anyone interested in America's economic future—in other words, a book everyone should read.

Show 504 The Next 100 Years. Medved talks to author George Friedman.

From the publisher-  "Conventional analysis suffers from a profound failure of imagination. It imagines passing clouds to be permanent and is blind to powerful, long term shifts taking place in full view of the world." - George Friedman

 In his book, George Friedman turns his eye on the future -- offering a lucid, highly readable forecast of the changes we can expect around the world during the 21st century. He explains where and why future wars will erupt (and how they will be fought), which nations will gain and lose economic and political power, and how new technologies and cultural trends will alter the way we live in the new century.

 The Next 100 Years draws on a fascinating exploration of history and geopolitical patterns dating back hundreds of years. Friedman shows that we are now, for the first time in half a millennium, at the dawn of a new era—with changes in store, including:

 â€¢The U.S.-Jihadist war will conclude—replaced by a second full-blown Cold War with Russia.

ʉۢChina will undergo a major extended internal crisis, and Mexico will emerge as an important world power.

ʉۢA new global war will unfold toward the middle of the century between the United States and an unexpected coalition from Eastern Europe, Eurasia and the Far East, but armies will be much smaller and wars less deadly.

 â€¢Technology will focus on space—both for major military uses and for a dramatic new energy resource that will have radical environmental implications.

ʉۢThe United States will experience a Golden Age in the second half of the century.

Show 497 Debate-  Dinesh D"Souza ENEMIES OF THE STATE: Why the U.S. Is Hated  April 18, 2002.

Gore Vidal, Robert Higgs and Dinesh D’Souza debate.

In a 2002 Gallup poll conducted in ten Muslim nations, only 22 percent of the people questioned viewed the United States favorably. Why does the United States foster such hatred in the Islamic world in particular? Is it our foreign policy—our support of Israel and of repressive Arab regimes in the Middle East? Or is it our culture? Does globalization spread American values that are simply antithetical, thus disruptive, to the traditional Islamic view of society? Just what should we do to win this struggle for the hearts and minds of those who despise us around the world?

Show 494 Dennis Prager talks to Steve Forbes about his new book, How Capitalism Will Save Us. 

Synopsis- Has capitalism failed? Is it fundamentally greedy and immoral, enabling the rich to get richer? Are free markets Darwinian places where the most ruthless crush smaller competitors, where vital products and services are priced beyond the ability of many people to afford them?

 Capitalism is the world's greatest economic success story. It is the most effective way to provide for the needs of people and foster the democratic and moral values of a free society. Yet the worst recession in decades has widely—and understandably—shaken people's faith in our system. Even before the current crisis, capitalism received a "bad rap" from a culture ambivalent about free markets and wealth creation.  This crisis of confidence is preventing a full recognition of how we got into the mess we're in today—and why capitalism continues to be the best route to prosperity.

 How Capitalism Will Save Us transcends labels such as "conservative" and "liberal" by showing how the economy really works. When free people in free markets have energy to solve problems and meet the needs and wants of others, they turn scarcity into abundance and develop the innovations that are the foremost drivers of economic growth. The freedom of democratic capitalism is, for example, what enabled Henry Ford to take a plaything of the rich—the car—and transform it into something affordable to working people.

 In the capitalist system, economic growth doesn't mean more of the same—grinding out a few more widgets every year. It's about change to increase overall wealth and give more people the chance for a better life.

 Biography- STEVE FORBES is chairman, CEO, and editor in chief at Forbes Media and an internationally respected authority in the worlds of economics, finance, and corporate leadership. He campaigned twice for the Republican nomination for the presidency. His previous books include Flat Tax Revolution, A New Birth of Freedom, and the New York Times bestseller Power Ambition Glory.

 ELIZABETH AMES is founder of BOLDE Communications, which advises corporate and individual clients on communications strategies. Her work as a writer and journalist has appeared in a variety of magazines and newspapers.

Show 492 Michael Medved talks to Norman Podhoretz about his book Why are jews Liberals?

About the book- From the bestselling author of World War IV, a brilliant and provocative examination of a central question in American politics and culture that is sure to generate tremendous controversy.

 Norman Podhoretz says he has never in his entire life been asked any question on any subject as often as "Why are so many Jews liberals?â€�-or in its more specifically political form, “Why do most Jews always vote for the Democrats?â€� Podhoretz proposes to solve this puzzle. He first offers a fascinating account of anti-Semitism in the West to show why, for most of that time, Jews quite sensibly concluded that they had much more to fear from the right than the left. But since the Six Day War of 1967, he argues, this position has no longer made sense, and yet most Jews go on supporting the Democratic Party and the liberal agenda. Reviewing the history of Jewish political attitudes and thoroughly examining the available evidence, he then demonstrates that all the usual explanations-such as a passion for justice allegedly deriving from the prophets of the Hebrew Bible-are either inadequate or flat-out false. Finally he proposes his own answer to the great puzzle of why most Jews remain as committed to liberalism as ever.

 There is no more vigorous thinker or skilled polemicist in American intellectual life than Norman Podhoretz. In Why Are Jews Liberals? he sums up his thinking on the political inclinations of his fellow Jews-in the process confounding conventional wisdom and changing the way we view American politics.

Show 489  Dennis Prager talks to Rodney Stark, Distinguished Professor of the Social Sciences at Baylor University. His new book is God's Battalions: The Case for the Crusades…In segment two an interview with John Stossel.  

In God"s Battalions, distinguished scholar Rodney Stark puts forth a controversial argument that the Crusades were a justified war waged against Muslim terror and aggression. Stark, the author of The Rise of Christianity, reviews the history of the seven major crusades from 1095-1291 in this fascinating work of religious revisionist history.

 Book Description- In God's Battalions, award-winning author Rodney Stark takes on the long-held view that the Crusades were the first round of European colonialism, conducted for land, loot, and converts by barbarian Christians who victimized the cultivated Muslims. To the contrary, Stark argues that the Crusades were the first military response to unwarranted Muslim terrorist aggression.

 Stark reviews the history of the seven major Crusades from 1095 to 1291, demonstrating that the Crusades were precipitated by Islamic provocations, centuries of bloody attempts to colonize the West, and sudden attacks on Christian pilgrims and holy places. Although the Crusades were initiated by a plea from the pope, Stark argues that this had nothing to do with any elaborate design of the Christian world to convert all Muslims to Christianity by force of arms. Given current tensions in the Middle East and terrorist attacks around the world, Stark's views are a thought-provoking contribution to our understanding and are sure to spark debate.

 Show 484 Book- The Great Money Binge. Spending Our Way to Socialism. Michael Medved talks to author George Melloan

 Description-Prestigious newspaper editor George Melloan, who worked for The Wall Street Journal for more than half a century, is no stranger to the wild ups and downs of the American and world economies. This brilliantly argued book explains -- using detailed examples from the Crash of 1929 and from the Carter era -- how government intervention actually prevents the economy from recovering its natural balance. Unless lawmakers realize the true importance of using supply-side economics in our current crisis, warns Melloan, nothing will save us from a new era of disastrous inflation and widespread global depression.

Citing the importance of historical example, Melloan explains how the world of economics was completely changed in the 1930s under the influence of English economist John Maynard Keynes. His theories advocating government interventionist policies were wholeheartedly adopted as a response to the Great Depression, and remained unquestioned until the "supply-side revolution" of 1980, after the stagflation of the 1970s showed the inherent weaknesses of neo-Keynesian economics. By employing what is sometimes called "Reaganomics," President Ronald Reagan and his economic advisers sparked a quarter century of unparalleled prosperity. Unfortunately, as Melloan demonstrates, government policy soon began to revert to Keynesian theories, even though they are widely misunderstood and misapplied.

Now, with the Crash of 2008, our new president and government appear committed to ignoring the lessons of the past. With multibillion-dollar "stimulus packages" becoming the norm, and a multitrillion-dollar national debt that will keep growing so long as present policies are continued, America can look forward to a very grim future indeed.

There is only one solution: we must return to our eroded supply-side principles. In the face of general misunderstanding, the vastly experienced Wall Street Journal editor George Melloan outlines a lucid and detailed explanation of exactly why we are currently sinking so rapidly, how this crisis compares to similar situations in the past, and exactly what must be done to return the United States to the economic vitality it enjoyed not so long ago.

Show 482 Do as I Say (Not as I Do): Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy. Medved talks to DVD producer.  Audio MP3

Michael Medved talks to Nick Tucker producer of the DVD Do as I Say (Not as I Do): Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy.

 Publisher Comments: Prominent liberals support a whole litany of policies and principles: progressive taxes, affirmative action, greater regulation of corporations, raising the inheritance tax, strict environmental regulations, children's rights, consumer rights, and more. But do they actually live by these beliefs? Peter Schweizer decided to investigate the private lives of politicians like the Clintons, Nancy Pelosi, the Kennedys, and Ralph Nader; commentators Michael Moore, Al Franken, Noam Chomsky, and Cornel West; entertainers or philanthropists Barbra Streisand and George Soros. Using publicly-available real estate records, IRS returns, court depositions, and their own published statements, he sought to examine whether they lived by the principles they so forcefully advocate.

 What he found was a long list of contradictions. Many of these proponents of organized labor had developed various methods to sidestep paying union wages or avoid employing unions altogether. They were also adept at avoiding taxes; invested heavily in corporations they had denounced; took advantage of foreign tax credits to use non-American labor overseas; espoused environmental causes while opposing those that might affect their own property rights; hid their investments in trusts to avoid paying estate tax; denounced oil companies but quietly owned them.

 Schweizer"s conclusion is simple: liberalism in the end forces its adherents to become hypocrites. They adopt one pose in public, but when it comes to what matters most in their own lives-their property, their privacy, and their children--they jettison their liberal principles and adopt conservative ones. If these ideas don’t work for the very individuals who promote them, Schweizer asks, how can they work for the country?

Show 480 Dresden Dennis Prager interviews Frederick Taylor author of Dresden: Tuesday, 13 February, 1945  Podcast rating: 7.5 out of 10. Encore presentation of ACU show #3.

Publisher Comments: The bombing began shortly after 10:00 P.M. on February 13, 1945. In the fifteen hours that followed, 1,100 American and British heavy bombers dropped more than 4,500 tons of high-explosive bombs and incendiary devices, leaving the ancient city of Dresden — "the Florence of the Elbe" — in flaming ruins and claiming the lives of thousands of its citizens. Twelve weeks later the German surrender was in hand, signaling the end of World War II.

Synopsis: For decades it has been assumed that the Allied bombing of Dresden — a cultured city famous for its china, chocolate, and fine watches — was militarily unjustifiable, an act of retribution for Germany's ceaseless bombing of London and other parts of England.

About the Author- Frederick Taylor studied history and modern languages at Oxford University and Sussex University. A Volkswagen Studentship award enabled him to research and travel widely in both parts of divided Germany at the height of the Cold War. Taylor is the author of Dresden and has edited and translated a number of works from German, including The Goebbels Diaries, 1939-1941. He is married with three children and lives in Cornwall, England.

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. His websites are: DineshDSouza.com, YGodInstitute.org., and LifeAfterDeathBook.com

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.â€�

 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 prayerâ€� to acknowledge “the many signal favors of Almighty God.â€�

 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.â€�

 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.

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

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.â€�

 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,â€� 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 celebritiesâ€�. He strictly distinguishes science and environmental activism, politics and opportunism. The book I wrote two years ago “Blue Planet in Green Shacklesâ€� 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.â€� (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.

Show 423 Date: June 23, 2009 Speaker: Author Stephen C. Meyer, Ph.D.

Location: The Heritage Foundation's Allison Auditorium

 In Signature in the Cell, Dr. Stephen Meyer examines how the digital code embedded in DNA points powerfully to a designing intelligence and helps unravel a mystery that

Darwin did not address: how did the very first life begin?  Join us as Dr. Meyer investigates how new scientific discoveries are pointing to intelligent design as the best explanation for the complexity of life and the universe.

    How does an intelligent person become a proponent of Intelligent Design?  Anyone who stereotypes IDers as anti-scientific ideologues or fundamentalists should read Dr. Stephen Meyer's compelling intellectual memoir.  Meyer as a student became fascinated with the "DNA Enigmaâ€� - how the information to produce life originated – and at considerable risk to his career hasn"t given up trying to solve the mystery.  Meyer shows how step by step he concluded that Intelligent Design is the most likely explanation of how the DNA code came to be.

        – Dr. Marvin Olasky, Provost, The King’s College, New York City and Editor-in-chief.

 Stephen C. Meyer is Director and Senior Fellow of the Center for Science and Culture at the Discovery Institute in Seattle.  Dr. Meyer earned his Ph.D. in the History and Philosophy of Science from  Cambridge University for a dissertation on the history of origin of life biology and the methodology of the historical sciences.

Show 420 Catastrophe. Michael Medved talks to author Dick Morris about his new book Catastrophe by Dick Morris, Eileen McGann

 Synopsis: It's time to take back our country. Now. It's that simple. It's that urgent.

 So begins Dick Morris and Eileen McGann's latest and most important book. They say that we must act before President Barack Obama fully implements his radical political agenda. Because after Obama has won his war on prosperity and canceled the war on terror, it will be too late to regain our liberty or our security.

 At a time when we needed a pragmatic centrist to lead us out of recession, we got a doctrinaire socialist who wants to use the crisis to put the government in charge of the economy and enact European socialism here in the United States. Cars, banks—what's next? He will keep at it until Washington governs every major business in America and sets all our salaries.  

It's a catastrophe.

 Dick Morris and Eileen McGann saw the meltdown coming. In their book Outrage, they called out the house of cards that was Fannie Mae. In Fleeced, they went after the credit card companies, the subprime mortgage lenders, and the hedge fund billionaires who conspired to wreck the economy—and Barack Obama, whose policies, they predicted last summer, would "trigger a stock market crash."

 Now, in Catastrophe, Morris and McGann take a hard look at America in free fall—and at how Obama is transforming a vulnerable America into a socialist state.

 

They tell the truth about Obama and his radical policies:

ʉۢ He will destroy our health care system so that no one gets adequate care.

• He designed his bank rescue plan to pave the way for nation-alization of the banks and socialization of the economy.

• He firmly believes in government control of our major industries—he's already commandeered the banks and the automobile industry.

• He plans to reshape the political landscape to keep the left in power for decades by cooking the census, enfranchising illegal immigrants, muzzling talk radio, and coercing workers into unions.

• He is attacking those who fight terrorism while letting the terrorists go free.

• He gives aid to Hamas while Shariah Law threatens to take over

America.

• He has repealed the Declaration of Independence and put us under a worldwide, European-dominated financial regulatory system.

 But Obama is not working alone. Morris and McGann spell out how Congress is complicit:  

• How Senator Chris Dodd and Congressman Charlie Rangel use special interests and special friends for their own enrichment and glorification.

• How Ted Kennedy Jr. is exploiting his father's health care power.

 "This is no time for apathy or alienation or hopelessness," Morris and McGann remind us. "It's a time for action." And that action must begin now—before it's too late.

Show 418 Signature in the Cell. Michael Medved talks to author Stephen Meyer.

One hundred fifty years ago, Charles Darwin revolutionized biology, but did he refute intelligent design (ID)? In Signature in the Cell, Stephen Meyer argues that he did not.

 Much confusion surrounds the theory of intelligent design. Frequently misrepresented by the media, politicians, and local school boards, intelligent design can be defended on purely scientific grounds in accordance with the same rigorous methods that apply to every proposed origin-of-life theory.

Signature in the Cell is the first book to make a comprehensive case for intelligent design based upon DNA. Meyer embarks on an odyssey of discovery as he investigates current evolutionary theories and the evidence that ultimately led him to affirm intelligent design. Clearly defining what ID is and is not, Meyer shows that the argument for intelligent design is not based on ignorance or "giving up on science," but instead upon our growing scientific knowledge of the information stored in the cell.

A leading proponent of intelligent design in the scientific community, Meyer presents a compelling case that will generate heated debate, command attention, and find new adherents from leading scientists around the world.

Show 411 For Faith & Family welcomes Dr. Arthur Brooks to the program. He is a professor of public administration at Syracuse University and the author of Who Really Cares? - May 25, 2009

In Gross National Happiness, Arthur Brooks, author of the controversial and strikingly original Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism, reveals the main sources of bliss—and misery—in America. Based on an enormous and unbiased array of hard data, Gross National Happiness offers up some very unconventional wisdom about our happiness as individuals and as a nation.

 Gross National Happiness. Why Happiness Matters for America—and How We Can Get More of It—and How We Can Get More of It by Arthur C. Brooks

 Who are the happiest Americans? Surveys show that religious people think they are happier than secularists, and secularists think they are happier than religious people. Liberals believe they are happier than conservatives, and conservatives disagree. In fact, almost every group thinks it is happier than everyone else. In this provocative new book, Arthur C. Brooks explodes the myths about happiness in America. As he did in the controversial Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism, Brooks examines vast amounts of evidence and empirical research to uncover the truth about who is happy in America, who is not, and-most important-why. He finds that there is a real "happiness gapâ€� in America today, and it lies disconcertingly close to America's cultural and political fault lines. The great divide between the happy and the unhappy in America, Brooks shows, is largely due to differences in social and cultural values. The values that bring happiness are faith, charity, hard work, optimism, and individual liberty. Secularism, excessive reliance on the state to solve problems, and an addiction to security all promote unhappiness. What can be done to maximize America"s happiness? Replete with the unconventional wisdom for which Brooks has come to be known, Gross National Happiness offers surprising and illuminating conclusions about how our government can best facilitate Americans in their pursuit of happiness.

 Arthur C. Brooks is Louis A. Bantle Professor of Business and Government Policy at Syracuse University’s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. The author of Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism, Brooks writes widely about the connections between culture, politics, and economic life in America, and his work appears frequently in the Wall Street Journal and other publications. He is a native of Seattle, Washington, and currently lives in Syracuse, New York, with his wife Ester and their three children.

Show 409 The Politically Incorrect Guideâ„¢ to Global Warming and Environmentalism by Christopher C. Horner

"Global warming�: the Left's last best chance to gain a stranglehold on our political system and economy

 For decades, environmentalism has been the Left"s best excuse for increasing government control over our actions in ways both large and small. It's for Mother Earth! It"s for the children! It's for the whales! But until now, the doomsday-scenario environmental scares they"ve trumped up haven’t been large enough to justify the lifestyle restrictions they want to impose. With global warming, however, greenhouse gasbags can argue that auto emissions in Ohio threaten people in Paris, and that only "global governanceâ€� (Jacques Chirac’s words) can tackle such problems.

 Now, in The Politically Incorrect Guideâ„¢ to Global Warming and Environmentalism, Christopher C. Horner tears the cover off the Left’s manipulation of environmental issues for political purposes—and lays out incontrovertible evidence for the fact that catastrophic man-made global warming is just more Chicken-Little hysteria, not actual science. He explains why, although Al Gore and his cronies among the media elites and UN globalists endlessly bleat that "global warmingâ€� is an unprecedented global crisis, they really think of it as a dream come true. It’s the ideal scare campaign for those who hate capitalism and love big government. For, as Horner explains, if global warming really were as bad as the Leftist doomsayers insist it is, then no policy imaginable could “solveâ€� it. According to the logic of the greens’ own numbers, no matter how much we sacrifice there would still be more to do. That makes global warming the bottomless well of excuses for the relentless growth of big government.

 Horner (an attorney and senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute) reveals the full anti-American, anti-capitalist, and anti-human agenda of today’s environmentalists, dubbing them “green on the outside, red to the core.â€� He details how they use strong-arm legal tactics—and worse—against those who dare to point out the weakness of their arguments for global warming. Along the way, he explodes ten top global warming myths, carefully examining the evidence to determine how much warming there really is and what is actually causing it. He exposes the lies that the environmental lobby routinely tells to make its case; the ways in which it is trying to impose initiatives such as the Kyoto Protocol on an unwilling American public; and much more—including the green lobby’s favorite politicians (John Kerry, John McCain, Joe Lieberman, and others).

It’s time to stand up to the environmentalist industry and insist: human beings are not the enemy. In breezy, light-hearted, and always entertaining fashion, The Politically Incorrect Guide™ to Global Warming and Environmentalism gives you the facts you need to do so.

Show 406 Book- Dumb Money. How Our Greatest Financial Minds Bankrupted the Nation. Medved talks to author Daniel Gross 

The financial crisis that has gripped this country since last September has had so many twists and turns, it would make for a great drama -- if it all were not so real and damaging. Companies are shutting down and laying off workers, 401ks are melting away, and the government is spending $700 billion dollars to bail out banks and financial institutions -- and that's only the beginning. The financial services industry, and the many industries that depend on it -- from housing to cars -- is in intensive care.

 So what happened? How did we get to this point of financial disaster? Is the economy just a huge, Madoff-esque Ponzi scheme? It is a complicated and confusing story -- but Daniel Gross of Newsweek has a special gift for making complicated matters easy to understand and even entertaining. In Dumb Money, he offers a guide to the debacle and to what the future may hold. This is not so much a book about who did what, though that's part of the story. Rather, it pieces together the building blocks of the debt-fueled economy, and distills the theory and personalities behind our late, lamented easy money culture. Dumb Money is a book that finally lays it all out in an engaging way, and might just help people invest their money smartly until the gloom passes.

 Show 401 Censorship: The Threat to Silence Talk Radio. Medved talks to author. Audio  By Brian Jennings

 Show A look inside the fairness doctrine and its impact on politics and free speech in American talk radio. Michael Medved talks to author Brian Jennings who is one of the nation's top talk radio programmers who served as National V.P.

Freedom of speech. It is our most cherished privilege as Americans, guaranteed by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution since 1791. But at the dawn of a new presidential administration, an epic battle is looming -- a battle for our airwaves that could sharply curtail or silence altogether the freedom of expression that distinguishes America from the average dictatorship. The target of this battle is conservative talk radio.

If key Democrats have their way, the principles of the Federal Communications Commission's Fairness Doctrine will once again be enforced and allow government to control the content heard on free radio, a mandate that will have far-reaching implications for all media.

During the Reagan administration the FCC voted to stop enforcing the Fairness Doctrine, which required all licensed broadcasters to present "balanced" viewpoints on controversial issues.

Conservative talk radio burgeoned, giving rise to the father of conservative talk, Rush Limbaugh, and such hosts as Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Michael Medved, Neal Boortz, Laura Ingraham, and others. The format was a smash hit -- resonating with listeners from coast to coast and giving a powerful voice to the conservative movement. Soon such programming, attracting an estimated 50 million listeners weekly, dominated the airwaves where liberal talk radio failed. Popular, profitable, outspoken, powerful, influential -- it's what the American people wanted, and its success was the Democrats' worst nightmare.

Now, the principles of the Fairness Doctrine threaten to be reinstated -- if not directly, then through back-door tactics involving ownership of stations. Under cover of being "fair," they will prove to be anything but: They will be used as a means of censorship by those with contempt for conservative talk radio. With our current Congress firmly under Democratic control, the future of talk radio -- indeed, freedom of speech for all Americans -- is under direct attack.

 Peter Robinson speaks with Thomas Sowell about his new book Economic Facts and Fallacies in which Sowell exposes some of the most popular fallacies about economic issues. Sowell takes on the conventional thinking on a wide swath of America's economic life, from male-female economic differences to income stagnation, executive pay, and social mobility to economics of higher education. In all cases he demonstrates how economics relates to the social issues that deeply affect our country. (33:21) Filmed on February 05, 2008

 Second interview- Thomas Sowell and a Conflict of Visions Filmed on October 21, 2008.  Sowell describes the critical differences between interests and visions. Interests, he says, are articulated by people who know what their interests are and what they want to do about them. Visions, however, are the implicit assumptions by which people operate. In politics, visions are either "constrainedâ€� or "unconstrained.â€� A closer look at the statements of both McCain and Obama reveals which "visionâ€� motivates their policy positions, particularly as they pertain to the war, the law, and economics. His 1987 book, A Conflict of Visions, was re-released in 2007.

 (37:38) To see the video of this interview visit: http://www.hoover.org/multimedia/uk/33647984.html

 Thomas Sowell has studied and taught economics, intellectual history, and social policy at institutions that include Cornell, UCLA, and Amherst. Now a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Sowell has published more than a dozen books. 

 Economist Thomas Sowell is the Rose and Milton Friedman Senior Fellow on Public Policy at the Hoover Institution. He is the author of numerous books including Affirmative Action around the World (2004), Basic Economics (2004), Applied Economics (2003), and, most recently, Economic Facts and Fallacies. His nationally syndicated column appears in more than 150 newspapers from Boston to Honolulu. Sowell was awarded the National Humanities Medal in 2002; in 2003, he received the Bradley Prize for intellectual achievement.

Show 379 The Victimization of America from the The Christian Worldview podcast. Posted  by David Wheaton, Saturday, February 21, 2009

 Visit The Christian Worldview podcast archive at http://thechristianworldview.com/tcwblog/listen/past-show-topics

 Guest: Ann Coulter, author, Guilty

Victims get sympathy from the American public. So if you want to advance your humanist, unbiblical agenda on the country, position yourself as a victim of discrimination, hate, injustice, prejudice, or the "right-wing attack machine,� and voila, most everyone - politicians, media, lawyers, the public - will flock to your side to help “the underdog.�

Ann Coulter, author of the just-released New York Times Bestseller, Guilty - Liberal “Victims� and Their Assault on America, will join me to discuss the victimization of America and how the real victims are those with a Christian worldview who are seeing the country “change� (for the worse) right before their eyes.

Show 362 Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed out on DVD. Interview with Ben Stein. Jan 1–2, 2009

From the Faith and Family website- On today's broadcast we welcome Ben Stein to discuss his latest film documentary, Expelled! No Intelligence Allowed, which has just been released on DVD.

 You may recognize Ben from his regular appearances on the Fox News channel, the late-nineties quiz show "Win Ben Stein"s Moneyâ€� or the cult-classic 1986 movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

 In addition to his recognizable on-screen adventures, Ben’s lengthy resume includes time as a poverty lawyer, civil rights activist and White House speech writer. And somewhere during all of that he found time to author 16 books!

 But Ben’s latest film project, Expelled! is the reason for his visit today. It’s a movie that’s ruffling all kinds of feathers in the “bastionsâ€� of scientific and academic elite. You won’t want to miss compelling film.

 The second half of this broadcast includes a rather lengthy discussion between Richard Land and Ben Stein about the American Civil Rights Movement. It may be a little “off topicâ€� from the Ben’s latest film, but we’re confident it’s a conversation you’ll enjoy. Also, Baptist Press reports on this interview.

Show 360  Book- Climate of Extremes: The Global Warming Science They Don't Want You to Know by Patrick J. Michaels. Capitol Hill Briefing January 28, 2009.  59 minutes.

Check out CATO Institute’s great Podcast archive at  http://www.cato.org/podcasts/   

Synopsis- Is the weather truly getting worse? When it comes to global warming, dire predictions seem to be all we see or hear. Climatologists Patrick Michaels and Robert Balling Jr. explain why the news and information we receive about global warming have become so apocalyptic. The science itself has become increasingly biased, with warnings of extreme consequences from global warming becoming the norm. That bias is then communicated through the media, who focus on only extreme predictions. The authors compellingly illuminate the other side of the story, the science we aren't being told. This body of work details how the impact of global warming is far less severe than is generally believed and far from catastrophic.

 From the Back Cover- "Michaels and Balling claim that, although global warming is real, it does not herald a climate crisis and that human beings cannot 'significantly alter the temperature trajectory of the planet.' They present detailed evidence that climate data is inaccurate, the fear that permafrost will release huge amounts of the greenhouse gas methane is unfounded and that 'horror stories about an imminent collapse of Greenland's ice simply aren't borne out by the fact that it was warmer there for decades in the early 20th century, and for millennia after the end of the last ice age.' The authors make persuasive arguments and climate crisis skeptics will applaud the book's message." --PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

Show 338 Meltdown: A Free-Market Look at Why the Stock Market Collapsed, the Economy Tanked, and Government Bailouts Will Make Things Worse. Michael Medved interviews author by Thomas E. Woods Jr. for 37 minutes followed by Glen Beck interviewing author.

 Book Description- If you are fed up with Washington boondoggles, and you like the small-government, politically-incorrect thinking of Ron Paul, then you'll love Tom Woods's Meltdown. In clear, no-nonsense terms, Woods explains what led up to this economic crisis, who's really to blame, and why government bailouts won't work. Woods will reveal:

* Which brave few economists predicted the economic fallout--and why nobody listened

* What really caused the collapse

* Why the Fed--not taxpayers--should have to answer for the current economic crisis

* Why bailouts are band-aids that will only provide temporary relief and ultimately make things worse

* What we should do instead, to put our economy on a healthy path to recovery

 With a foreword from Ron Paul, Meltdown is the free-market answer to the Fed-created economic crisis. As the new Obama administration inevitably calls for more regulations, Woods argues that the only way to rebuild our economy is by returning to the fundamentals of capitalism and letting the free market work.

 From the Inside Flap- Is Capitalism the Culprit?

The media tells us that "deregulation" and "unfettered free

markets" have wrecked our economy and will continue to make things worse without a heavy dose of federal regulation. But the real blame lies elsewhere. In Meltdown, bestselling author Thomas E. Woods Jr. unearths the real causes behind the collapse of housing values and the stock market--and it turns out the culprits reside more in Washington than on Wall Street.

 And the trillions of dollars in federal bailouts? Our politicians' ham-handed attempts to fix the problems they themselves created will only make things much worse.

Woods, a senior fellow at the Ludwig von Mises Institute and winner of the 2006 Templeton Enterprise Award, busts the media myths and government spin. He explains how government intervention in the economy--from the Democratic hobby horse called Fannie Mae to affirmative action programs like the Community Redevelopment Act--actually caused the housing bubble.

 Most important, Woods, author of the New York Times bestseller The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History, traces this most recent boom-and-bust--and all such booms and busts of the past century--back to one of the most revered government institutions of all: the Federal Reserve System, which allows busy-body bureaucrats and ambitious politicians to pull the strings of our financial sector and manipulate the value of the very money we use.

 Meltdown also provides a timely history lesson to counter the current clamor for a new New Deal. The Great Depression, Woods demonstrates, was only as deep and as long as it was because of the government interventions by Herbert Hoover (no free-market capitalist, despite what your high school history teacher may have taught you) and Franklin D. Roosevelt (no savior of the American economy, in spite of what the mainstream media says). If you want to understand what caused the financial meltdown--and why none of the big-government solutions being tried today will work--Meltdown explains it all.

Show 337  Makers and Takers: Why Conservatives Work Harder, Feel Happier, Have Closer Families, Take Fewer Drugs, Give More Generously, Value Honesty More, Are Less materialistic and envious, whine less... and Even Hug Their Children More Than Liberals. By Peter Sweizer

Selection of Audio Book. This is a must have in your Conservative library. Buy this book! We highly recommend it.

Conservatives are ignorant, selfish, and hypocritical. Liberals are enlightened, generous, and honest. Or so we've been told for. . . oh, the last three generations or so. But now comes compelling new evidence that these popular stereotypes are not only false, they're the near opposites of the truth.

 Synopsis-  In Makers and Takers you will discover why:

 * Seventy-one percent of conservatives say you have an obligation to care for a seriously injured spouse or parent versus less than half (46 percent) of liberals.

 * Conservatives have a better work ethic and are much less likely to call in sick than their liberal counterparts.

 * Liberals are 2½ times more likely to be resentful of others' success and 50 percent more likely to be jealous of other people"s good luck.

 * Liberals are 2 times more likely to say it is okay to cheat the government out of welfare money you don't deserve.

 * Conservatives are more likely than liberals to hug their children and "significantly more likelyâ€� to display positive nurturing emotions.

 * Liberals are less trusting of family members and much less likely to stay in touch with their parents.

 * Do you get satisfaction from putting someone else"s happiness ahead of your own? Fifty-five percent of conservatives said yes versus only 20 percent of liberals.

 * Rush Limbaugh, Ronald Reagan, Bill O’Reilly and Dick Cheney have given large sums of money to people in need, while Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, Michael Moore, and Al Gore have not.

* Those who are "very liberal� are 3 times more likely than conservatives to throw things when they get angry.

 The American left prides itself on being superior to conservatives: more generous, less materialistic, more tolerant, more intellectual, and more selfless. For years scholars have constructed—and the media has pushed—elaborate theories designed to demonstrate that conservativessuffer from a host of personality defects and character flaws. According to these supposedly unbiased studies, conservatives are mean-spirited, greedy, selfish malcontents with authoritarian tendencies. Far from the belief of a few cranks, prominent liberals from John Kenneth Galbraith to Hillary Clinton have succumbed to these prejudices. But what do the facts show?

 Peter Schweizer has dug deep—through tax documents, scholarly data, primary opinion research surveys, and private records—and has discovered that these claims are a myth. Indeed, he shows that many of these claims actually apply more to liberals than conservatives. Much as he did in his bestseller Do as I Say (Not as I Do), he brings to light never-before-revealed facts that will upset conventional wisdom.

 Conservatives such as Ronald Reagan and Robert Bork have long argued that liberal policies promote social decay. Schweizer, using the latest data and research, exposes how, in general:

 * Liberals are more self-centered than conservatives.

* Conservatives are more generous and charitable than liberals.

* Liberals are more envious and less hardworking than conservatives.

* Conservatives value truth more than liberals, and are less prone to cheating and lying.

* Liberals are more angry than conservatives.

* Conservatives are actually more knowledgeable than liberals.

* Liberals are more dissatisfied and unhappy than conservatives.

 Schweizer argues that the failure lies in modern liberal ideas, which foster a self-centered, “if it feels good do itâ€� attitude that leads liberals to outsource their responsibilities to the government and focus instead on themselves and their own desires.

New York Times best-selling author Peter Schweizer destroys popular notions that liberals give more to charity, care more about others, and are happier than conservatives.

Show 334 The Next 100 Years. Medved interviews author George Friedman.  A Forecast for the 21st Century.  36 minutes 8MB

ABOUT THIS BOOK- "Conventional analysis suffers from a profound failure of imagination. It imagines passing clouds to be permanent and is blind to powerful, long-term shifts taking place in full view of the world.� —George Friedman

In his long-awaited and provocative new book, George Friedman turns his eye on the future—offering a lucid, highly readable forecast of the changes we can expect around the world during the twenty-first century. He explains where and why future wars will erupt (and how they will be fought), which nations will gain and lose economic and political power, and how new technologies and cultural trends will alter the way we live in the new century.
The Next 100 Years draws on a fascinating exploration of history and geopolitical patterns dating back hundreds of years. Friedman shows that we are now, for the first time in half a millennium, at the dawn of a new era—with changes in store, including:

• The U.S.-Jihadist war will conclude—replaced by a second full-blown cold war with Russia.
• China will undergo a major extended internal crisis, and Mexico will emerge as an important world power.
• A new global war will unfold toward the middle of the century between the United States and an unexpected coalition from Eastern Europe, Eurasia, and the Far East; but armies will be much smaller and wars will be less deadly.
• Technology will focus on space—both for major military uses and for a dramatic new energy resource that will have radical environmental implications.
• The United States will experience a Golden Age in the second half of the century.

Written with the keen insight and thoughtful analysis that has made George Friedman a renowned expert in geopolitics and forecasting, The Next 100 Years presents a fascinating picture of what lies ahead.

Show 333 Speechless- Silencing the Christians. Audio version of Banned Documentary. Two TV stations, WOOD-TV in Grand Rapids, MI and WSYX-TV in Columbus, OH, have banned this  television special showing how the media is silencing Christians. The stations bowed to the demands of a handful of homosexual activists and banned the showing of our TV special "Speechless...Silencing the Christians." The one-hour TV special was scheduled to be shown on the stations, but the stations yanked the program after agreeing to run it. AFA was paying for the time. 57 minutes 13MB

Oddly enough, the TV special shows how the media censors Christians, which is exactly what these two stations did!

They said the program was "controversial." The stations do not consider showing two lesbians or two homosexuals kissing or getting into bed with each other controversial. The stations do not consider all the profanity they air controversial. They regularly show network programs advocating the homosexual agenda, but those programs are not considered controversial. However, a special showing of Christians being silenced is controversial!

The manager of the Columbus station told AFA the station would not air the program because telling the truth about homosexuality did not represent "positive Christianity." Are we moving to a time in the near future when local pastors whose services are broadcast will be banned because their sermons call the practice of homosexuality a sin?

Please, forward this critical message to your family and friends today!

Show 332 John Stossel Goes to Washington and turns the idea of "consumer reporting" on government itself. We are all consumers of government services, so why not ask if things can be done better? Stossel starts by taking a look at taxes and learns Americans pay more in taxes than in food, clothing and shelter combined. Stossel's investigation finds some federal programs have trouble even keeping track of their funds, much less spending them wisely. How can students make sense of government spending and special interest influence on policies and priorities.?

Show 327 Blacklisted by History. Why everything liberals want you to believe about Senator Joe McCarthy and the "McCarthy era" is false

Blacklisted by History by M. Stanton Evans

In standard histories of the so-called "Red Scare" of the 1950s, Sen. Joe McCarthy (R-Wis.) is depicted as a lying bully who falsely named helpless victims in the U.S. State Department and other government bureaus as Communists or Soviet agents. Lying and baseless charges of subversion were the supposed essence of McCarthy's method. History has judged him such a loathsome figure that to this day, some fifty years after the Army-McCarthy hearings, people hurl the term "McCarthyism" to attack any perceived witch-hunt. But now, in Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy, veteran journalist M. Stanton Evans shows not only that this portrayal of McCarthy and his cases is mistaken -- but that virtually everything else that we've been told about McCarthy and his "era" is false.

Evans has spent more than a decade researching this book -- poring over vast amounts of data that were unknown to the American public in the 1950s and that corroborate the case McCarthy was making then. Indeed, many of those people McCarthy named as Communists show up in the official records that were suppressed at the time -- and yet most of these individuals are still regarded as McCarthy's victims. And, while McCarthy is often accused of being a liar, Blacklisted by History exposes how the senator's opponents were covering up or even actively falsifying the factual record, and in some cases lying to the public.

Relying almost exclusively on primary source documents buried in U.S. government archives -- including troves of previously unexamined FBI files, formerly missing State Department records, telephone intercepts, and heretofore unknown data from congressional investigations - M. Stanton Evans has unearthed the hidden history of America's backstage Cold War. His astonishing findings reveal that McCarthy understood, far better than his opponents cared to admit, the insidious forces that posed a very real threat to American society and institutions.

Among the revelations in this ground-breaking book:

Previously secret government records proving there was massive penetration of the federal government by Communists and Soviet agents, beginning in the Depression - long before McCarthy came on the scene

 Complete lists of McCarthy early cases -- most never previously published -and how his charges are supported by the archives of the FBI, the so-called Venona decrypts monitoring contacts between the Soviets and their agents, and other official records

 What long-secret FBI files reveal about McCarthy's foremost early target, Prof. Owen Lattimore of the Office of War Information and Institute of Pacific Relations

The famous case of Annie Lee Moss--the most notorious of all McCarthy cases -- and how the truth about it was concealed for 50 years (and still is in histories of the era)

The pro-Soviet stance of State Department official Dean Acheson in 1945 when he assumed a dominant role in the department -- quite different from his later Cold War image -- and the consequences for security and policy measures then adopted FBI reports about Communists and Soviet agents on federal payrolls -- among them such later well-known figures as J. Robert Oppenheimer, Alger Hiss, Treasury staffer Harry Dexter White, and White House assistant Lauchlin Currie

 How, though top officials were informed as early as December 1942 that J. Robert Oppenheimer was considered by Communist leaders to be a secret member of the party, nothing was done about the case for upwards of a decade

 The massive cover-up, conducted by White House and Department of Justice officials, of the espionage case of diplomat John Stewart service and the pro-Communist magazine Amerasia -- and how it became one of McCarthy's principal early cases

 Systematic high-level efforts to cover up the facts about other McCarthy cases -- included a sweeping secrecy order issued by President Truman in March 1948, a still more extensive order by President Eisenhower in May 1954

 How the Washington Post and New York Times loudly supported "executive privilege" and presidential secrecy measures -- as long as they were directed against McCarthy

 How Truman forces sought, in the 1948 showdown between Soviet agent Alger Hiss and ex-Communist witness Whittaker Chambers to discredit and indict, not Hiss, but Chambers

 The extensive backstage collusion between the State Department and the Tydings committee supposedly investigating McCarthy's charges -- plus concealment efforts including 35 pages of disappearing transcript

Still other disappearing records -- including numerous key documents from the National Archives and other official data sources -- many of which were recovered by the author

 How Soviet secret agents and pro-Red forces conspired on a global basis to make sure Japan attacked America -- not Russia -- in the 1941 run-up to Pearl Harbor

 High-level orders issued during World War II to ensure that Communists and fellow travelers got official jobs, then were protected from anti-Red security investigations

 How secret Communist agents in U.S. and British governments concocted false "intelligence" to discredit and destroy anti-Communist leaders in Yugoslavia and China -- and in both cases, tragically, succeeded

 Top-level official U.S. efforts during World War II to plot the assassination of the anti-Communist Chinese leader Chiang Kai-shek, then sponsor a military coup d'etat against him when he sought refuge on Taiwan

What McCarthy did -- and didn't -- say in his famous 1950 speech at Wheeling, W. Va., launching the "McCarthy era" -- and how the standard histories distort this

The "recording" of Joe McCarthy's speech at Wheeling Senator Millard Tydings professed to have -- but then admitted under oath he didn't

 The untold story of Joe Welch assistant Frederick Fisher, allegedly "outed" by Joe McCarthy, in fact outed by Welch himself six weeks before this historic confrontation

 How the so-called Gillette committee set out to discredit McCarthy by suppressing an official report that backed up McCarthy and refusing to print McCarthy's testimony before the panel

How McCarthy's refusal to cooperate with this committee became the only count of 46 originally brought against him in the Watkins hearings of 1954 for which McCarthy would be censured by the Senate

A groundbreaking book based on exhaustive research, Blacklisted by History is much more than a look at the McCarthy era -- it is revealing investigation into how our view of history can so often be distorted.

Show 325 New Deal or Raw Deal? Learning From the New Deal: How FDR's Economic Legacy has Damaged America. Date: December 11, 2008 Speaker: Dr. Burton Folsom, Jr. Charles F. Kline Chair in History and Management, Hillsdale College

Host(s): Joseph Postell Deputy Director, B. Kenneth Simon Center for American Studies, The Heritage Foundation Location: The Heritage Foundation's Allison Auditorium

Elected on a buoyant tide of promises to balance the increasingly uncontrollable national budget and reduce the catastrophic unemployment rate, the charismatic President instead made dramatic changes to federal programming that directly contradicted his campaign promises.  Price fixing, court packing and regressive taxes were all hidden in the alphabet soup of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal.  These programs increased the financial strain on many and discouraged entrepreneurs from taking business risks that could have revived the national economy.  The New Deal survives in the form of many current government programs such as farm subsidies, minimum wage laws and welfare programs. 

Roosevelt's imperious approach to the presidency changed American politics forever, and as he manipulated public opinion, American citizens became unwitting accomplices to the stilted economic growth of the 1930s.  All these years later, America still struggles with the damaging repercussions of FDR"s legacy.

Dr. Burton Folsom Jr. holds the Charles F. Kline Chair in History and Management at Hillsdale College.  He has been a Senior Fellow in Economic Education and Economic History for the Mackinac Center for Public Policy and serves as Senior Historian at the Foundation for Economic Education.  He is the author of several books including The Myth of the Robber Barons, now in its fifth edition, Empire Builders, and Urban Capitalists.  His latest book, New Deal or Raw Deal?, is available through Simon and Schuster Publishers

Show 323 Mark Taylor is joined by Stephen Moore the author of The End of Prosperity. Monday, January 26, 2009

Synopsis- Arthur Laffer -- the father of supply-side economics and a member of President Reagan's Economic Policy Advisory Board -- joins economist Stephen Moore of The Wall Street Journal editorial board and investment advisor Peter J. Tanous to send Americans an urgent message: We risk losing the exceptional standard of living that has made us the envy of the rest of the world if the pro-growth policies of the last twenty-five years are reversed by a new president.

 Since the early 1980s, the United States has experienced a wave of prosperity almost unprecedented in history in terms of wealth creation, new jobs, and improved living standards for all. Under the leadership of Presidents Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, Americans changed the incentive structure on taxes, inflation, and regulation, and as a result the economy roared back to life after the anti-growth, high-inflation 1970s.

 Now the rest of the world is following the American economic growth model of lower tax rates, more economic freedom, and sound money. Paradoxically, one country is moving away from these growth policies and putting its prosperity at risk -- America.

 On the eve of a critical presidential election, Laffer, Moore, and Tanous provide the factual information every American needs in order to understand exactly how we achieved the prosperity many people have come to take for granted, and explain how the policies of Democrats Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Nancy Pelosi can cause America to lose its status as the world's growth and job creation machine.

 The End of Prosperity is essential reading for all Americans who value our nation's free enterprise system and high standard of living, and want to know how to protect their own investments in the coming storm

Show 321 True Believer: Inside the Investigation and Capture of Ana Montes, Cuba's Master Spy by Scott W. Carmichael (Author). Speech before the Heritage Foundation.

 Product Description- Ana Montes appeared to be a model employee of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). Known to her coworkers as the Queen of Cuba, she was an overachiever who advanced quickly through the ranks of Latin American specialists to become the intelligence community's top analyst on Cuban affairs. But throughout her sixteen-year career at DIA, Montes sent Castro some of America's most closely guarded secrets and at the same time influenced what the United States thought it knew about Cuba. When she was finally arrested in September 2001, she became the most senior American intelligence official ever accused of operating as a Cuban spy from within the federal government. Unrepentant as she serves out her time in a federal prison in Texas, Montes remains the only member of the intelligence community ever convicted of espionage on behalf of the Cuban government.

This inside account of the investigation that led to her arrest was written by Scott W. Carmichael, the DIA's senior counterintelligence investigator who persuaded the FBI to delve deeper into Montes activities. Although Montes did not fit the FBI's profile of a spy and easily managed to defeat the agency's polygraph exam, Carmichael became suspicious of her activities and, with the FBI, over a period of several years developed a solid case against her. Here he tells the story of that long and ultimately successful spy hunt. Carmichael reveals the details of their efforts to bring her to justice, offering readers a front-row seat for the first major U.S. espionage case of the twenty-first century. She was arrested less than twenty-four hours before learning details of the U.S. plan to invade Afghanistan post-September 11. Motivated by ideology and not money, Montes was one of the last "true believers" of the Communist era. Because her arrest came just ten days after 9/11, it went largely unnoticed by the American public. This book calls attention to the grave damage Montes inflicted on U.S. security--Carmichael even implicates her in the death of a Green Beret fighting Cuban-backed insurgent in El Salvador and the damage she would have continued to inflict had she not been caught.

 About the Author- Scott W. Carmichael, the senior security and counterintelligence investigator for the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), served as the lead case agent for the DIA on the Ana Montes espionage investigation. He has been investigating attempts by foreign intelligence services to penetrate DIA operations worldwide for nearly twenty years. Prior to that he was a Chinese-Mandarin linguist in the U.S. Navy and a special agent of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. His contributions toward the successful resolution of national security matters have earned Carmichael the DIA Civilian Expeditionary Medal and Award for Meritorious Civilian Service, the Defense Intelligence Director's Award, the Department of Defense Counterintelligence Award, and the National Intelligence Medal of Achievement, among other awards and various forms of recognition. He lives with his wife and three sons in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area.

Show 320 Michael Medved talks to Jonathan Schanzer, author of Hamas vs Fatah: The Struggle for Palestine. 38 minutes 8.7MB

 From the book-  In June 2007 civil war broke out in the Gaza Strip between two rival Palestinian factions, Hamas and Fatah. Western peace efforts in the region always focused on reconciling two opposing fronts: Israel and Palestine. Now, this careful exploration of Middle East history over the last two decades reveals that the Palestinians have long been a house divided. What began as a political rivalry between Fatah’s Yasir Arafat and Hamas leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin during the first intifada of 1987 evolved into a full-blown battle on the streets of Gaza between the forces of Arafat’s successor, Mahmoud Abbas, and Ismael Haniyeh, one of Yassin’s early protégés. Today, the battle continues between these two diametrically opposing forces over the role of Palestinian nationalism and Islamism in the West Bank and Gaza.

 In this thought-provoking book, Jonathan Schanzer questions the notion of Palestinian political unity, explaining how internal rivalries and violence have ultimately stymied American efforts to promote Middle East peace, and even the Palestinian quest for a homeland.

 Jonathan Schanzer is the director of policy at the Jewish Policy Center.  He has served as counterterrorism analyst for the Office of Intelligence and Analysis at the U.S. Department of Treasury and as a research fellow at Washington Institute for Near East Policy, where he authored the book Al Qaeda’s Armies: Middle East Affiliate Groups and the Next Generation of Terror. He has appeared on Fox News, CNN, and Al-Jazeera. He lives in Washington, D.C.

Show 319 Thomas Sowell. Prager talks to author. Audio MP3

Dennis talks to one of his favorite thinkers, Thomas Sowell, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution. A new edition of Sowell's essential book, Applied Economics, has just been released. If every college student read this book, we"d live in a different and better world twenty years from now.

From Thomas Sowell: the tools to understand economic issues — and to see the economic ramifications of public policy proposals

Applied Economics:Thinking Beyond Stage One

by Thomas Sowell  Revised and expanded 2008 edition

So much of our national political debate these days revolves around economic matters -- taxes, health care, even affirmative action and immigration policy -- that it is essential for every informed American to have a working knowledge of economics. In Applied Economics: Thinking Beyond Stage One, the renowned conservative economist Thomas Sowell has made it possible for you to grasp quickly and easily the economic elements of key public policies. Better yet, this revised and expanded edition now includes material on the roots of the Crash of 2008, the economics of immigration, and other timely topics.

 With an experienced teacher's knack for making the complex simple, Sowell explains why politicians frequently cheerlead for policies that are bad for the economy; why cities with rent controlled housing usually end up riddled with slums; why medical care costs just keep going up; and much more. He turns his keen eye also to the economics of discrimination and even examines the economic development of nations.

Sowell even explains why Socialist schemes like single-payer health care actually offer much less than meets the eye, and invariably fail. Sowell says that many disastrous public policies would never have been adopted if short-sighted politicians had been willing or able to trace the consequences of implementing them beforehand. In this book, he shows this can be done -- how, in the words of the book's subtitle, to "think beyond stage one."

 Thomas Sowell reveals:

 How government intervention in the housing markets led to the current "subprime" mortgage crisis

 Single-payer health care: why it makes the overall cost of medical care go up -- and its quality go down

 The unrecorded human costs of price-controlled medical care: how they reveal the bankruptcy of the whole idea of socialized medicine

Why New York's ever-increasing corporate taxes are directly to blame for the abandonment of the city by many key corporations -- leaving New York with a diminished corporate tax base

 California's electricity crisis: how blackouts and higher costs for consumers were the inevitable result of the state government's attempt to keep consumer prices low by legal fiat

Central planning: how it drove the Soviet economy into the ground and why it simply doesn't work, despite liberals' continuing fondness for it

 How the economic advantages of a market economy are accompanied by political disadvantages

 Planned economies: how they inevitably turn decent people into criminals

 A free labor market: how it benefits not only the worker but also the economy

 Why the Soviet slave labor system was not as profitable as free labor, even though it accounted for huge sectors of the Soviet Union's economic output

Price controls: why they are usually popular politically despite failing to accomplish what they are instituted to do

 Why a free market is the best antidote to racial prejudice: how discrimination inflicts economic damage not only on those being discriminated against, but on those doing the discrimination

 The outrageous distortions and half-truths purveyed by Ralph Nader and other self-styled "consumer advocates" (and their devastating economic effects)

 Property developers: how they are unfairly demonized by liberal economists and activists immensely important role that geography plays in the economic realities of various places around the globe

 Why cities with rent control laws have higher rents than cities that don't -- and how rent control reduces incentives to build new housing, as well as to maintain existing housing 

How liberals distort and misrepresent statistics about black and white economic performance in order to exaggerate the lingering presence of discrimination in American society

"Sowell is right to preach the superiority of competitive markets to various forms of regulation that backfire with alarming regularity." -- National Review

"Informative and entertaining. . . . Sowell gives example after example of how the foolish policies of politicians have increased the common misery rather than the common good. ... If you are interested in honing your knowledge 'to think beyond stage one,' you will not go wrong by reading Mr. Sowell's new book." -- Washington Times

Show 317 Michael Crichton. States of Fear: Science or Politics? 52 minutes 11.9MB.  Speech given May 6, 2007

Watch this video on Google Video Michael Crichton http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=Michael+Crichton&emb=0&aq=-1&oq=#

 At one time, both the pseudoscientific geocentric notion of the universe (that the Earth lies at the center of the solar system) and eugenics (the racial theory to “purifyâ€� the human race) were widely accepted by leaders in science, politics, journalism, and business. Such theories were pushed by powerful interest groups that possessed highly politicized agendas driving government policies and public opinion, until ultimately both theories were disproved. Is environmental debate today, including global warming, bio-technology, and other issues, based on science or politics? Are popular accounts of such issues rooted in science or phantom risks? Are government policies focusing on the trivial while ignoring the real, and in the process wasting limited resources, crippling human innovation to address true dangers, and inviting tyranny? In discussing not just environmental issues but the increasing politicization of science itself, best-selling author Michael Crichton examines the intersection of media, politics, and science, inspiring viewers to challenge old assumptions and to search beneath the surface of issues as they seek to discover the truth. Scientists Bruce Ames (U.C. Berkeley), Sallie Baliunas (Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics), William Gray (Colorado State U.), and Oregon State Climatologist George Taylor show how scientific debates have been politicized by appealing to the fears of an uninformed public.

Show 316 From the “For Faith & Familyâ€� broadcasts- In this broadcast we welcome Ben Stein to discuss his latest film documentary, Expelled! No Intelligence Allowed, which has just been released on DVD. Great Documentary. We highly recommend it. To purchase it visit Expelled! No Intelligence Allowed at amazon.

 You may recognize Ben from his regular appearances on the Fox News channel, the late-nineties quiz show “Win Ben Stein’s Moneyâ€� or the cult-classic 1986 movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. 

In addition to his recognizable on-screen adventures, Ben’s lengthy resume includes time as a poverty lawyer, civil rights activist and White House speech writer. And somewhere during all of that he found time to author 16 books!

 But Ben’s latest film project, Expelled! is the reason for his visit today. It’s a movie that’s ruffling all kinds of feathers in the “bastionsâ€� of scientific and academic elite. You won’t want to miss compelling film.

 The second part of this broadcast includes a rather lengthy discussion between Richard Land and Ben Stein about the American Civil Rights Movement. It may be a little “off topicâ€� from the Ben’s latest film, but we’re confident it’s a conversation you’ll enjoy.

 Show 312 Dennis Prager talks to Joe Eszterhas author of Crossbearer A Memoir of Faith.

Joe Eszterhas has written the screenplays for sixteen films that have made more than a billion dollars at the box office.  Among them areBasic Instinct, Jagged Edge, Flashdance and Showgirls.  A former senior editor at Rolling Stone, he is the author of five previous books—the second, Charlie Simpson's Apocalypse, was nominated for the National Book Award.  The father of seven children, he lives with his wife, Naomi, and their four sons in Bainbridge Township, Ohio.

 Joe Eszterhas grew up in refugee camps and then in America"s back alleys.  He worked as a police reporter, racing the cops to robberies and shootings. He interviewed and wrote about mass murders and serial killers. He wrote dark, sexually graphic, and violent films likeBasic Instinct, Jagged Edge, and Jade.

Eszterhas knew a lot about darkness.  Then, on a hellishly hot day in 2001, desperately battling to survive throat cancer and his addictions to alcohol and cigarettes, Joe Eszterhas found God. Or God found him.

And he came from darkness into light.

Crossbearer is the powerful, poignant, and sometimes wryly humorous account of a streetwise and cynical man’s newfound faith, and of how he discovers God in the most intimate and routine moments of life: a family game of baseball, a child’s photograph of a cloud, a dying mother’s dying roses.

It is also the inspiring story of a man who must overcome his addictions to stay alive—and can’t by himself.  He realizes that he needs the love of his wife, his children, and especially his new friend, God, to do it.

Eszterhas is a master memoirist—his Hollywood Animal was called "powerful and affecting� (The New York Times), “absolutely first-rate� (Los Angeles Times Book Review) and “heartbreaking, funny and outrageous� (Houston Chronicle)—and with Crossbearer he reveals a fresh and completely unexpected new chapter of his life.

With surprising tenderness and a willingness to bare even weaknesses and mistakes, Joe Eszterhas has written a startling personal story about faith, values, family and love.

Show 311 National Review Online  3 of 3.  Interviews with 6 book authors. From National Review Online program called Between the Covers (as in Book covers) with John J Miller. Visit the website at http://radio.nationalreview.com/betweenthecovers/  We found over 100 interviews with generally conservative authors.

1. Arthur Brooks on Gross National Happiness

Arthur Brooks, author of Gross National Happiness: Why Happiness Matters for America—and How We Can Get More of It, offers John J. Miller a revelation: “People who call themselves conservative or very conservative are about twice as likely to say they are very happy people, as are those who say they are liberal or very liberal.�

2. Roy Spencer on Climate Confusion

Climatologist Roy Spencer, author of Climate Confusion: How Global Warming Hysteria Leads to Bad Science, Pandering Politicians and Misguided Policies that Hurt the Poor, tells John J.

Excerpt 1. Teachers Unions Bankrupting American Education. Audio version of film documentary. To See the video visit: http://www.teachersunionexposed.com/video_release.cfm

Visit Union Facts website at: http://www.unionfacts.com/

Big labor unions have destroyed countless American industries, including the Detroit automakers who are now begging Congress for a bailout. But these unions don't just control factories and assembly lines. Our public education system is a slow-motion car crash, driven by the same union special interests that brought the auto companies to the brink of bankruptcy.

This insightful new video shows how teachers unions protect bad and incompetent teachers, block school reform efforts, and use their members" dues money to support a radical left-wing agenda. Compared to other developed countries, the United States has the worst educational quality per dollar spent on schools, ranking 18th in reading and 28th in math. Millions of American children are being shortchanged by dysfunctional schools, but efforts for education reform are invariably stopped by powerful union interests.

These unions fight tooth and nail against any meaningful change to their comfortable status quo - while students and taxpayers pay the price.

After decades of denial, there is a growing realization around the country that teachers unions’ defense of the status quo cannot continue. A new generation of reformers, including Michelle Rhee, the chief of public schools in Washington DC, are fighting those unions and pushing for renewed accountability and an end to the broken tenure system.

TeachersUnionFacts.com is a project of the non-profit Center for Union Facts. With your support, we can fix our public schools and expel these special interest groups. Your tax-deductible donation will help us show Americans the truth about today’s teachers unions.
