 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. . .

Show 509 Michael Steele's book- Right Now: A 12-Step Program for Defeating the Obama Agenda,â  Medved talks to Michael Steele 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.Steele"s book, "Right Now: A 12-Step Program for Defeating the Obama Agenda,â For all of Michael Medveds shows go to https://www.michaelmedved.com/site to listen live for free or $4.95 per month to download all of his podcasts.- 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.

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 todayâs 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. Letâs commit to pray that as the world begins to recognize intelligence in design, Godâs fingerprints in His creation, that will many will be led to a personal encounter with the Designer Himself  For Faith & Family archived podcasts visit http://faithandfamily.com/fff/archive/section/radio/

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 ("KSMâ). 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.  For all of Michael Medveds shows go to https://www.michaelmedved.com/site to listen live for free or $4.95 per month to download all of his podcasts.

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)â"the nation's top auditor"âWalker 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 systemsâbefore 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 kidsâwhich will hurt families along with our nation's economic strength and position in the world. If our foreign creditorsâsuch as Chinaâdecide 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 codeâall 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 futureâin 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 eraâwith changes in store, including:  âThe U.S.-Jihadist war will concludeâreplaced by a second full-blown Cold War with Russia.  âChina will undergo a major extended internal crisis, and Mexico will emerge as an important world power.  âA 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.  âTechnology will focus on spaceâboth for major military uses and for a dramatic new energy resource that will have radical environmental implications.  âThe 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 DâSouza 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 policyâour 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?  For the video visit:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIMxAk_CQk8  To browse all Hoover Institutes archives visit http://www.hoover.org/multimedia/uk/participants

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 widelyâand understandablyâshaken 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 todayâand 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 richâthe carâand transform it into something affordable to working people.  In the capitalist system, economic growth doesn't mean more of the sameâgrinding 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.

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, âWhy 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.  For all of Michael Medveds shows go to https://www.michaelmedved.com/site to listen live for free or $4.95 per month to download all of his podcasts.- Look up American Conservative University on Itunes.

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 CrusadesâIn 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 donât work for the very individuals who promote them, Schweizer asks, how can they work for the country?

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 brainâand 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 Experiencesâwhat 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, DâSouza shows why we can expect that what Shakespeare called the "undiscovered countryâ will be discovered by us all.  Biography- Dinesh DâSouza 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, Whatâs So Great About America, and Whatâs So Great About Christianity, he lives in Rancho Santa Fe, California, with his wife Dixie and their daughter Danielle.

Show 476 Michael Medved talks to SuperFreakonomics co-author Stephen J. Dubner   Synopsis- The New York Times best-selling Freakonomics was a worldwide sensation, selling over four million copies in thirty-five languages and changing the way we look at the world. Now, Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner return with SuperFreakonomics, and fans and newcomers alike will find that the freakquel is even bolder, funnier, and more surprising than the first. Four years in the making, SuperFreakonomics asks not only the tough questions, but the unexpected ones: What's more dangerous, driving drunk or walking drunk? Why is chemotherapy prescribed so often if it's so ineffective? Can a sex change boost your salary? SuperFreakonomics challenges the way we think all over again, exploring the hidden side of everything with such questions as: How is a street prostitute like a department-store Santa? Why are doctors so bad at washing their hands? How much good do car seats do? What's the best way to catch a terrorist? Did TV cause a rise in crime? What do hurricanes, heart attacks, and highway deaths have in common? Are people hard-wired for altruism or selfishness? Can eating kangaroo save the planet? Which adds more value: a pimp or a Realtor? Levitt and Dubner mix smart thinking and great storytelling like no one else, whether investigating a solution to global warming or explaining why the price of oral sex has fallen so drastically. By examining how people respond to incentives, they show the world for what it really isâgood, bad, ugly, and, in the final analysis, super freaky. Freakonomics has been imitated many times overâbut 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 Marxismâs 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,â 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 countryâin 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 ChrisÂtian 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 âthe 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 liesâwidely believed among elites and taught as truth in universities and public schoolsâis 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. Medvedâs 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 â65? A member of USA Todayâs board of contributors, he also writes a weekly column for Townhall.com. For more than a decade he served as cohost of Sneak Previews, PBSâs 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 For all of Michael Medveds shows go to https://www.michaelmedved.com/site to listen live for free or $4.95 per month to download all of his podcasts.- Look up American Conservative University on Itunes.

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 regimesâfrom Hezbollah and al Qaeda to the Iranian Khomeinists and the Saudi Wahhabisâwho 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.

 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 veteransâeach 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."

And it's not about science either. If you're a parent with children in the public school system, you need to know what's really going on.  In You're Teaching My Child What? Dr. Miriam Grossman rips back the curtain on sex education today, exposing a sordid truth. Instead of teaching our children the facts of life, sex educators are lying to them, ignoring medical fact in favor of politicized, and dangerous, propaganda that could ruin your child's life forever.  In You're Teaching My Child What? you'll learn what sex educators don't want you to know:  * Why the discredited founder of "sexology"-dead for half a century-has more influence on sex education than today's most eminent neurobiologists * How information your child gets about common infections like herpes, warts, and Chlamydia is whitewashed * When "safe sex" isn't safe: why condoms won't protect your teens from some of the most serious sexually transmitted diseases * How sex educators try to normalize fringe behaviors-ignoring the health risks to your children The sex education establishment would like to lull you into thinking that they know best-but the epidemic of sexually transmitted infections in young people today is testimony to a system that's gone mad.  Parents need to arm themselves and their children with the facts-the real facts of life. In You're Teaching My Child What? Dr. Miriam Grossman does just that, in an essential book to inform yourself and protect your children.  Biography- Miriam Grossman, M.D., is a board certified child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist who began You're Teaching My Child What? as a senior fellow at the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute. Following the release of her last book, Unprotected: A Campus Psychiatrist Reveals How Political Correctness Endangers Every Student, published in November 2006 by Sentinel (Penguin), she was interviewed on more than 150 radio, news, and television shows. Dr. Grossman's work has received positive reviews in The Wall Street Journal, National Review, The Weekly Standard, The American Spectator, Townhall.com, NewsMax.com, and elsewhere. She is a contributing columnist at Townhall.com and speaks to parents, students, educators, and health professionals internationally on the dangers of political correctness in her profession. She lives in Los Angeles with her family and a beagle, Willie Prozac. Some iTune Podcasts you might like as suggested by Scott McDougle, Founder of ACU.

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 Cultureâ The former head of Greenpeace admits that the organization's statements about melting polar ice cap were fabricatedâ 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.  For commercial free archived shows visit Pragertopia http://stores.dennisprager.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?S creen=CTGY&Store_Code=DP&Category_Code=01010101 Cost is $6.95 per month.

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 â The Great Depression. Finally, he disputes the value of the recent stimulus package and argues against Obama"s health-care and energy initiatives.

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

It was once the most popular publication in the country. And, it did a lot of goodâ President Obama"s popularity is sinking like a stone. Why? The Dennis Prager show August 18, 2009.

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-Pl imer-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.  Available at leading book stores: or purhcase on line-http://www.boffinsbookshop.com.au/bookweb/details. cgi?ITEMNO=9781921421143  To see the video of this interview visit- http://www.abnnewswire.net/multimedia/en/60659/Ian-Pl imer-Heaven-and-Earth-Climate-Change

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!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, Godâs fingerprints in His creation, that will many will be led to a personal encounter with the Designer Himself  For Faith and Family archive of podcasts visit http://faithandfamily.com/fff/archive/section/radio/

 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.   Some iTune Podcasts you might like as suggested by Scott McDougle, Founder of ACU.  American Conservative University Podcast. -  I rate this a 10 out of 10.

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 hearâand what the media reportsâare 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 'âone child policyââ. Audio MP3 Chinaâs Lost Girls Release Year: 2005 Duration: 43 min  National Geographic host Lisa Ling examines the consequences of Chinaâs two-decade-old, ââone child policyââ designed to curb the countryâs 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 Chinaâand 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 Chinaâs gender gap, its roots, and its possible repercussions.   To see the video visit  http://www.snagfilms.com/films/title/chinas_lost_girls/  Suggested by ACU listener Mark Thorpe- "I highly recommend three DVDs regarding global demographic trends and the unintended consequences of the 1970s "Zero Population" movement: (1) "Demographic Winter" (www.demographicwinter.com)(2) "Demographic Bomb" (www.demographicwinter.com)(3) "China's Lost Girls" (http://shop.nationalgeographic.com/product/238/1906/12 8.html) "

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, âresistance,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 alarmistâwell researched, fervently argued and morally serious. It may serve as a dense, footnoted wake-up call to many of Europe's liberal democracies. Biography- CHRISTOPHER CALDWELL is a columnist for the Financial Times, a contributing writer for the New York Times Magazine, and a senior editor at the Weekly Standard. He lives in Washington, D.C.

Show 435 Heaven and Earth - Professor Ian Plimer's new book . Michael Medved talks to author about Human Induced Climate Change.  Recommended by VÃclav 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 â at all costs â 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 âHollywood show business celebritiesâ. He strictly distinguishes science and environmental activism, politics and opportunism. The book I wrote two years ago âBlue Planet in Green Shacklesâ comes to very similar conclusions but I have to say that if I"d had a chance to read Professor Plimerâs book, my book would have been better.â (VÃclav 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 Earthâs 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. Donât wait up.   ABOUT THE AUTHOR  Ian Plimer is Professor of Mining Geology at The University of Adelaide and Emeritus Professor of Earth Sciences at The University of Melbourne where he was Professor and Head (1991-2005). He was previously Professor and Head of Geology at The University of Newcastle (1985-1991). His previous book, A Short History of Planet Earth, won the Eureka Prize.

Show 430 Renegade The Making of a President. Medved talks to author Richard Wolffe  Renegade The Making of a President. Written by Richard Wolffe About this Book - Before the White House and Air Force One, before the TV ads and the enormous rallies, there was the real Barack Obama: a man wrestling with the momentous decision to run for the presidency, feeling torn about leaving behind a young family, and figuring out how to win the biggest prize in politics. This book is the previously untold and epic story of how a political newcomer with no money and an alien name grew into the world's most powerful leader. But it is also a uniquely intimate portrait of the person behind the iconic posters and the Secret Service code name Renegade.  Drawing on a dozen unplugged interviews with the candidate and president, as well as twenty-one months covering his campaign as it traveled from coast to coast, Richard Wolffe answers the simple yet enduring question about Barack Obama: Who is he?  Based on Wolffe"s unprecedented access to Obama, Renegade reveals the making of a president, both on the campaign trail and before he ran for high office. It explains how the politician who emerged in an extraordinary election learned the personal and political skills to succeed during his youth and early career. With cool self-discipline, calculated risk taking, and simple storytelling, Obama developed the strategies he would need to survive the onslaught of the Clintons and John McCain, and build a multimillion-dollar machine to win a historic contest.  In Renegade, Richard Wolffe shares with us his front-row seat at Obama's announcement to run for president on a frigid day in Springfield, and his victory speech on a warm night in Chicago. We fly on the candidate"s plane and ride in his bus on an odyssey across a country in crisis; stand next to him at a bar on the night he secures the nomination; and are backstage as he delivers his convention speech to a stadium crowd and a transfixed national audience. From a teacher's office in Iowa to the Oval Office in Washington, we see and hear Barack Obama with an immediacy and honesty never witnessed before.  Renegade provides not only an account of Obama"s triumphs, but also examines his many personal and political trials. We see Obama wrestling with race and politics, as well as his former pastor Reverend Jeremiah Wright. We see him struggling with life as a presidential candidate, a campaign that falters for most of its first year, and his reaction to a surprise defeat in the New Hampshire primary. And we see him relying on his personal experience, as well as meticulous polling, to pass the presidential test in foreign and economic affairs.  Renegade is an essential guide to understanding President Barack Obama and his trusted inner circle of aides and friends. It is also a riveting and enlightening first draft of history and political psychology.  ------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------- "The first of the President Obama books-and a good one-insightful, thorough, and straight.â âBen Bradlee, Washington Post  If you really want to know what happened inside the Obama campaign, this is the one book that will take you there. My jaw dropped time and time again reading details that, despite the coverage, were never revealed in the long campaign. A clear-eyed, up-close look at the campaign, Renegade is the one Obama book that should not be missed.â âMichele Norris, All Things Considered  "A superb achievement. With an almost painterly eye, compelling insights, and extraordinary access to Barack Obama and his inner circle, Richard Wolffe's Renegade tells the hidden, dramatic story of the 2008 campaign and also reveals much we did not know about the 44th president"s life before politics. Wolffeâs brisk, well-written narrative is fully in the tradition of Theodore White and Richard Ben Cramer, capturing a pivotal presidential contest dominated by one of the most luminous figures in modern American history.â âMichael Beschloss, author of Presidential Courage  "Many journalists covered the 2008 presidential campaign for newsrooms and blogvilles. Not the intrepid Richard Wolffe. With gumshoe persistence he tracked Barack Obamaâs historic march to victory with grace and cunning. Renegade offers a deft mix of biography, personal reflection, British wit, and old-style journalism. Destined to be a classic in its genre.â âDouglas Brinkley, professor of history, Rice University  âPolitics is a lot like basketball-complete with drives up the middle, clutch rebounding, and smart head fakes. In Renegade, Richard Wolffe takes us inside the game through unparalleled access to candidate-turned-president Obama and through his own canny eye and wit. I learned something new on practically every page.â âGwen Ifill, Washington Week in Review and The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer  âThis is an insightful, unusually moving, fully observed portrait of the improbable candidate and complicated man who would be president, a riveting backstage drama set just at the moment Americaâs third act prepared to debut. If Jefferson started the exalted but flawed exercise and Lincoln enlarged it, then with Richard Wolffeâs wonderful book-graced as it is with a journalistâs eye and a historianâs breadth and commandâwe are granted the gift of access to the second skinny lawyer from Illinois who would save our country. Marvelous.â âKen Burns, award-winning filmmaker  Richard Wolffe is an award-winning journalist and political analyst for MSNBC television, appearing frequently on MSNBCâs Countdown with Keith Olbermann, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and Hardball. He covered the entire length of Barack Obamaâs presidential campaign for Newsweek magazine. Before Newsweek, Wolffe was a senior journalist at the Financial Times, serving as its deputy bureau chief and U.S. diplomatic correspondent. He lives with his wife and their three children in Washington, D.C.  For all of Michael Medveds shows go to https://www.michaelmedved.com/site to listen live for free or $4.95 per month to download all of his podcasts.- Look up American Conservative University on Itunes.

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 â 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.         â Dr. Marvin Olasky, Provost, The Kingâs 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.  Purchase Signature in the Cell: DNA Evidence for Intelligent Design

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, banksâwhat'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 economyâand 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 fallâand at how Obama is transforming a vulnerable America into a socialist state.   They tell the truth about Obama and his radical policies:  â He will destroy our health care system so that no one gets adequate care. â He designed his bank rescue plan to pave the way for nation-alization of the banks and socialization of the economy. â He firmly believes in government control of our major industriesâhe's already commandeered the banks and the automobile industry. â 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. â He is attacking those who fight terrorism while letting the terrorists go free. â He gives aid to Hamas while Shariah Law threatens to take over America. â 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:   â How Senator Chris Dodd and Congressman Charlie Rangel use special interests and special friends for their own enrichment and glorification. â 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 nowâbefore it's too late.  For all of Michael Medveds shows go to https://www.michaelmedved.com/site to listen live for free or $4.95 per month to download all of his podcasts.-  Look up American Conservative University on Itunes.  Click here to start your free subscription to the American Conservative University newsletter http://kb.feedblitz.com/f/f.fbz?Sub=278205 We will send you notice each week about our new shows.  Click here for all ACU Podcasts http://acu.libsyn.com/index.php?post_category=Click%20h ere%20for%20all%20podcasts  To download this show, right click the direct download file below and select "Save target as..." and save the file on your computer.

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 blissâand miseryâin 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. Authors website-  http://www.arthurbrooks.net/ For Faith and Family archive of podcasts visit http://faithandfamily.com/fff/archive/section/radio/  Gross National Happiness. Why Happiness Matters for Americaâand How We Can Get More of Itâand 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 Universityâs 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 From ACU- This is a must have in your library. Buy it today at http://www.amazon.com/Politically-Incorrect-Global-Warm ing-Environmentalism/dp/1596985011 "Global warmingâ: 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 havenât 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 Chiracâs words) can tackle such problems.  Now, in The Politically Incorrect Guideâ to Global Warming and Environmentalism, Christopher C. Horner tears the cover off the Leftâs manipulation of environmental issues for political purposesâand 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. Itâs 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 âsolveâ it. According to the logic of the greensâ 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 todayâs environmentalists, dubbing them âgreen on the outside, red to the core.â He details how they use strong-arm legal tacticsâand worseâagainst 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 moreâincluding the green lobbyâs favorite politicians (John Kerry, John McCain, Joe Lieberman, and others). Itâs 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 Guideâ to Global Warming and Environmentalism gives you the facts you need to do so.  From ACU- This is a must have in your library.

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.    For all of Michael Medveds shows go to https://www.michaelmedved.com/site to listen live for free or $4.95 per month to download all of his podcasts.- Look up American Conservative University on Itunes.

 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.

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 Instituteâs great Podcast archive at  http://www.cato.org/podcasts/    Synops is- 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 Look up American Conservative University on Itunes.  Click here to start your free subscription to the American Conservative University newsletter http://kb.feedblitz.com/f/f.fbz?Sub=278205 We will send you notice each week about our new shows.  Click here for all ACU Podcasts http://acu.libsyn.com/index.php?post_category=Click%20h ere%20for%20all%20podcasts  Please email our site to your friends and contacts  If you have enjoyed this show please forward it on to your friends and contacts.

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.  http://www.thomasewoods.com/ http://libert ymaven.com/ For all of Michael Medveds shows go to https://www.michaelmedved.com/site to listen live for free or $4.95 per month to download all of his podcasts.- Look up American Conservative University on Itunes.

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 2Â 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 OâReilly 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 liberalâ 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 constructedâand the media has pushedâelaborate 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 deepâthrough tax documents, scholarly data, primary opinion research surveys, and private recordsâand 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, âif 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.

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.â âGeorge Friedman In his long-awaited and provocative new book, George Friedman turns his eye on the futureâoffering 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 eraâwith changes in store, including:â The U.S.-Jihadist war will concludeâreplaced by a second full-blown cold war with Russia.â China will undergo a major extended internal crisis, and Mexico will emerge as an important world power.â 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.â Technology will focus on spaceâboth for major military uses and for a dramatic new energy resource that will have radical environmental implications.â 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 SpeechlessâSilencing 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! Look up American Conservative University on Itunes.

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. <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:Verdana; panose-1:2 11 6 4 3 5 4 4 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:swis s; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-159 3833729 1073750107 16 0 415 0;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margi n:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow- orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";} a:link, span.MsoHyperlink {color:blue; text-decoration:unde rline; text-underline:single;} a:visited, span.MsoHyperlinkFollowed {color:purple; text-decor ation:underline; text-underline:single;} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; mso-header-margin:.5in; mso-footer-margin:. 5in; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Secti on1;} --> Look up American Conservative University on Itunes.

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 For an archive of all  The Heritage Foundationâs events visit http://www.heritage.org/Press/Events/archive.cfm?startd ate=12/31/2007&days=364    58 minutes 13.3MB

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 &lt;!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:Verdana; panose-1:2 11 6 4 3 5 4 4 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:swis s; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-159 3833729 1073750107 16 0 415 0;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:&quot;&quot;; margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-paginatio n:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:& quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;Ti mes New Roman&quot;;} a:link, span.MsoHyperlink {color:blue; text-decoration:unde rline; text-underline:single;} a:visited, span.MsoHyperlinkFollowed {color:purple; text-decor ation:underline; text-underline:single;} p {mso-ma rgin-top-alt:auto; margin-right:0in; mso-margin-bot tom-alt:auto; margin-left:0in; mso-pagination:widow -orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:&quot;Ti mes New Roman&quot;; mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;Ti mes New Roman&quot;;} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; mso-header-margin:.5in; mso-footer-margin:. 5in; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Secti on1;} --&gt; Download all of Dennis Pragerâs shows free at: http://dennisprager.townhall.com/talkradio/Show.aspx?Ra dioShowID=3 The best podcast on the internet!

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 Fatahâs 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 Arafatâs successor, Mahmoud Abbas, and Ismael Haniyeh, one of Yassinâs early protÃgÃs. 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 Qaedaâs 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 â 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  Download all of Dennis Pragerâs shows free at: http://dennisprager.townhall.com/talkradio/Show.aspx?Ra dioShowID=3 The best podcast on the internet!

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& amp;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 âpurifyâ 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. <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:Verdana; panose-1:2 11 6 4 3 5 4 4 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:swis s; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-159 3833729 1073750107 16 0 415 0;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margi n:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow- orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";} a:link, span.MsoHyperlink {color:blue; text-decoration:unde rline; text-underline:single;} a:visited, span.MsoHyperlinkFollowed {color:purple; text-decor ation:underline; text-underline:single;} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; mso-header-margin:.5in; mso-footer-margin:. 5in; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Secti on1;} --> Click here to start your free subscription to the American Conservative University newsletter http://kb.feedblitz.com/f/f.fbz?Sub=278205 We will send you notice each week about our new shows.  Click here for all ACU Podcasts http://acu.libsyn.com/index.php?post_category=Click%20h ere%20for%20all%20podcasts To download this show, right click the direct download file below and select "Save target as..." and save the file on your computer.

 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 booksâthe 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 manâs newfound faith, and of how he discovers God in the most intimate and routine moments of life: a family game of baseball, a childâs photograph of a cloud, a dying motherâs dying roses. It is also the inspiring story of a man who must overcome his addictions to stay aliveâand canât 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 memoiristâhis Hollywood Animal was called "powerful and affectingâ (The New York Times), âabsolutely first-rateâ (Los Angeles Times Book Review) and âheartbreaking, funny and outrageousâ (Houston Chronicle)âand 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.

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 Americaâand How We Can Get More of It, offers John J. Miller a revelation: âPeople 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.â 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. Miller that while global warming is real, its causes are not known. âThe truth is that we donât have the right observations, in letâs say the last thirty or forty years, to know whether our most recent warming is natural or manmade.â 3. Jagdish Bhagwati on In Defense of Globalization John J. Miller asks Jagdish Bhagwati, author of In Defense of Globalization, why globalization even needs a defense. The answer: Large numbers of people believe âglobalization is actually setting us back in terms of our social agendas, like womenâs issues, democracy, [and] mainstream culture,â while others say it drains us economically, in terms of workers wages, total GDP, and the general welfare.  4. Stephen Moore on The End of Prosperity "[T]he bigger problem with the Obama plan is that it raises taxes on the most productive people in the economy.âYou can't raise taxes on small businesses and then expect to have small businesses create more jobs," says Stephen Moore, co-author of The End of Prosperity: How Higher Taxes Will Doom the EconomyâIf We Let It Happen. 5.  Richard Brookhiser on George Washington on Leadership Richard Brookhiser, NR senior editor and author, most recently, of George Washington on Leadership, describes for John J. Miller the many qualities that made the father of our country such an exceptional leader. Among these was physical stature. Says Brookhiser, âWhen he does show up [before his troops], he makes an impressive figure. And that sort of momentary first impression is a very important thing.â 6.  M. Stanton Evans on Blacklisted by History M. Stanton Evans, author of Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight Against Americaâs Enemies, says inaccuracies infect many of the books on this topic. He tells John J. Miller: âThe basic inaccuracy is the suggestion in most of the books that McCarthy was making stuff up; that he was lying. . . . What we now know is that he wasnât lying. . . . He was correct both as to the larger picture of communist penetration in the government and as to many specific cases [of this].â

Williams on Liberty Versus the Tyranny of Socialism "Socialism is a form of tyrannyâwe have to recognizeâthe only way the government can get one American citizen one dollar is to first through intimidation, threats and coercion confiscate that dollar from some other American,â says Walter E. Williams, author of Liberty Versus the Tyranny of Socialism: Controversial Essays. 2.  Brian Anderson on A Manifesto for Media Freedom.  Speaking of the fairness doctrine, Brian Anderson, co-author of A Manifesto for Media Freedom, says  it's the idea that government can regulate speech for fairness and quality which is truly pernicious and which will result in a completely regulated press. 3.  Iain Murray on The Really Inconvenient Truths Iain Murray, author of The Really Inconvenient Truths: Seven Environmental Catastrophes Liberals Don"t Want You to Know About â Because They Helped Cause Them, explains for John J. Miller why misinformation is so rife in the environmental movement: "they take a germ of truth and then blow it up out of all proportion; they take a mole hill and they make a mountain.â  4. Brian Fagan on The Great Warming Brian Fagan, author of The Great Warming: Climate Change and the Rise and Fall of Civilizations, tells John J. Miller that the warming period of 800-1200 A.D. had its good and bad sides. In Europe, Fagan says, âThere was more food. The growing seasons lengthened. You got people growing cereal crops in Norway . . . They were growing wine in central England.â However, âI was shocked to find that over enormous areas of the world, there were prolonged, even epochal, droughts, particularly in the American west and over much of the Pacific.â 5.  Thomas Sowell on Economic Facts and Fallacies John J. Miller asks Thomas Sowell, author most recently of Economic Facts and Fallacies, if Americans are economically illiterate. Sowell replies, âOh yes, good heavens, yes. There need to be at least ten more books like this because I'm too old to think about writing them all by myself.â  6. Dan Perrin on America's Health Care Crisis Solved Dan Perrin, co-author with J. Patrick Rooney of America"s Health Care Crisis Solved, tells John J. Miller that todayâs health-care crisis is one of affordability, and that his book âprovides a series of solutions for specific problems that are contributing to this overall health-care inflation.â

Commenting on the lack of zeal in prosecuting cases of voter fraud, John Fund, author of Stealing Elections, says, âThere's an inevitable cry that any time you're preventing voter fraud, you're actually dealing in voter suppression, dealing in trying to reduce the minority vote, and that kind of attack often deters [DAs] from pursuing these cases.â

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 unionsâ 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.

Show 296 Interview with Alison Armstrong with Chip at personal life media Ever feel like you just don't understand the other gender? Ever wonder why relationships between men and women so often start out like a fairy tale and end up like a horror story? Join Chip and his guest Alison Armstrong and learn more about what gets in the way of having the relationships we so deeply desire. Alison Armstrong, author of "Keys to the Kingdom", and creator of the "Celebrating Men, Satisfying Women" workshops describes her own amazing journey from being a "frog-farmer"-a woman who turns princes into frogs- to becoming a world renowned expert on understanding the conflicts and ending the separation between men and women. Listen in as Chip and Alison talk about the conflicting desires and expectations that men and women bring into relationships and learn how to develop meaningful alternatives that actually enhance our relationships.  Why does ACU post shows on man/woman relations? Our mission is to dispel widely held misconceptions and erroneously held beliefs.

Hayden Barnes, who was expelled for engaging in a peaceful protest. Featuring on-the-scene interviews with Barnes; his attorney, noted First Amendment lawyer Robert Corn-Revere; and FIRE President Greg Lukianoff, this video illustrates the impact of FIRE's work and explains why VSU remains a priority in FIRE's fight for student rights on campus.   This episode of the PBS "Voices of Vision" television series documents FIRE's efforts to defend fundamental rights at the ... University of North Carolina - Greensboro, where students faced discipline for protesting an unconstitutional "free speech zone," and at the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire, which had banned RAs from leading voluntary Bible studies in their own dorm rooms and on their own time. The film also features an in-depth look at how FIRE selects and conducts its defense of individual rights on campus, including a nuts-and-bolts look at FIRE's operations.  Free Speech ,  campus ,  college ,  fire ,  University ,  rights , first amendment

Show 294 Dennis Prager talks to Dinesh D'Souza, former White House domestic policy analyst, and best-selling author. His latest book is What's So Great about Christianity. It's now out in paperback  Is Christianity true? Can an intelligent, college-educated person really believe the Bible? Or do the atheists have it right? Has Christianity been disproven by science, debunked as a force for good, and discredited as a guide to morality?  Bestselling author Dinesh D"Souza (What's So Great About America) approaches Christianity with a skeptical eye, but treats the skeptics with equal skepticism. The result is a book that will challenge the assumptions of both believers and doubters and affirm that there really is, indeed, something great about Christianity.  D"Souza reveals:  Why Christianity explains the universe, and our origins, better than atheism does  Why Christianity and science are not irreconcilable, but science and atheism might be  Why the alleged sins of Christianityâthe Crusades, the Inquisition, the Galileo affairâare vastly overblown  Why atheism is a demonstrably dangerous creedâand a cowardly one  Why evolution does not threaten Christian belief  Why atheists fear the Big Bang theory  Why Christianity is the ultimate defense of man's free will  Why ultimately you can"t have Western civilizationâand all we value from itâwithout the Christianity that gave it birth  Provocative, enlightening, a twenty-first-century successor to C. S. Lewisâs Mere Christianity, Dinesh DâSouzaâs Whatâs So Great About Christianity is the perfect book for the seeker, the skeptic, and the believer who wants to defend his faith.

Show 291 Hugh Hewitt interviews his fellow Salem Radio Broadcaster Michael Medved, author of the brand new book The 10 Big Lies About America.  Combating Destructive Distortions About Our Nation. 34 minutes 8MB About this 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 countryâin 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 ChrisÂtian denominations. And just a day after approving the First Amendment, forbidding the establishment of religion, Congress called for a national "day of public thanksgiving and prayerâ to acknowledge âthe 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 liesâwidely believed among elites and taught as truth in universities and public schoolsâis 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. Medvedâs witty, well-documented rebuttal is a refreshing reminder that as Americans we should feel blessed, not burdened, by our heritage.  About this Author- 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 â65? A member of USA Todayâs board of contributors, he also writes a weekly column for Townhall.com. For more than a decade he served as cohost of Sneak Previews, PBSâs 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 274 The Audacity of Deceit: Barack Obama's War on American Values by Brad O'Leary. David Bose guest hosts for the Michael Medved show, interviews author. 60 minutes. 13.9MB  Book description- What lies beneath Barack Obama's well-polished rhetoric will shock you. Obama touts 'change' but his version is nothing less than a frontal assault on American values and traditions. Obama's goal? Bring America to her knees through a policy of 'managed decline.' On his watch, our great nation will become a second-rate country on a downhill slide. In The Audacity of Deceit, Brad O'Leary takes you deep inside Obama's plans to dismantle the Second Amendment and destroy our economy while putting us in thrall to the United Nations and laying waste to all that millions of Americans hold dear. You'll learn: How Obama's fatherless childhood mirrors that of Bill Clinton's and fuels his obsession with fame and power at any cost. How his tax plan would raise rates to a Hoover-like 60% and eviscerate America's economy. How the U.S. Treasury will become the United Nations' ATM. Why Obama wants to keep fuel prices high and Americans immobilized. The '0 to 5' initiative designed to transfer child-rearing from parents to the state. Here are the ugly facts about Barack Obama.  From the publisher- In the shocking political expose The Audacity of Deceit, you'll learn about Barack Obama's plans to "change" our country and your life by... Raising taxes from the low rate of 28% under Ronald Reagan to economy-destroying 60% rate under Herbert Hoover. Handing out Federal medical insurance to more than 12 million aliens, and increasing emergency room costs by $15.4 billion annually. Appointing ultra-liberal, anti-business Supreme Court judges who would reverse the ruling that bans partial birth abortion, and the ruling that confirms the Second Amendment is an individual right. Would take 25% of farmland out of production to satisfy environmental lobbyists, causing increased food costs and worldwide food shortages. Implementing a "zero to five" program designed to transfer infant and child raising responsibilities for children under five from parents to the federal government. Establishing a government agency to approve what types of medical procedures and operations senior citizens are permitted to have. Increasing the liberal majority in Congress by allowing felons to vote. Waging a trade war that would eliminate 10 million American jobs and re-establish the tariff system implemented by Herbert Hoover. As a state senator, Obama... Supported withholding emergency medical aid for babies who survive an abortion. Barack Obama may be desperately tacking towards the middle in order to attract voters, but as The Audacity of Deceit proves, his real beliefs are not those of the majority of Americans.  The last 13 minutes of this podcast features Dennis Prager talking to Sol Stern, fellow at the Manhattan Institute, who has looked at the radical life of Bill Ayers.

Show 272 The Faith of Barack Obama. Medved talks to author Stephen Mansfield. 37 minutes 8.5MB  Book Description- Get inside the mind and soul of Barack Obama In The Faith of Barack Obama, New York Times bestselling author Stephen Mansfield takes readers inside the mind, heart, and soul of presidential hopeful Barack Obamaâas a person of faith, as a man, as an American, and possibly as our future commander in chief. America faces looming inflation, climate change, a national credit crisis, war in the Middle East, threats to security and liberty at home, and skyrocketing oil and gas prices. With all of these threats to our security, prosperity and freedom on the horizon, it has never been more important to choose the right leader for America. "If a man's faith is sincere, it is the most important thing about him, and it is impossible to understand who he is and how he will lead without first understanding the religious vision that informs his life,â writes Mansfield. In The Faith of Barack Obama, Mansfield holds back nothing to share that vision and explain its roots, including: â Obama"s upbringing in a non-Christian homeâ the influence on his life from his agnostic mother and Muslim fatherâ his remarkable turn to Christianity after working in the inner cities of Chicagoâ his years at the controversial Trinity United Church of Christâ his association to the radical teachings of Rev. Jeremiah Wrightâ the source of Obama's relentless optimism and hope for America Every American voter concerned to know more about Obama"s beliefs, both religious and political, and how the two intertwine should read this book, as should every thinking person who continues to shape and evolve his or her religious beliefs. Barack Obama, according to Mansfield, is "raising the banner of what he hopes will be the faith-based politics of a new generation . . . and he will carry that banner to whatever heights of power his God and the American people allow.â "You must read this perceptive and well written book. Then you will know why Barack Obama has such a passion for justice and equity, such a gift for filling people of different generations with a newfound hope that things can and will change for the better.â âARCHBISHOP DESMOND TUTU  For all of Michael Medveds shows go to https://www.michaelmedved.com/site to listen live for free or $4.95 per month to download all of his podcasts.- Click here for all American Conservative University Podcasts To download this show, right click the direct download file below and select "Save target as..." and save the file on your computer.

Show 268 Michael Medved talks to author of The End of Prosperity. How Higher Taxes Will Doom the Economy--If We Let It Happen. Author Stephen Moore.  37 minutes 8.6MB 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.  For all of Michael Medveds shows go to https://www.michaelmedved.com/site to listen live for free or $4.95 per month to download all of his podcasts.-  To download this show, right click the direct download file below and select "Save target as..." and save the file on your computer.

Show 267 Michael Medved talks to Brigitte Gabriel about her new book They Must Be Stopped: Why We Must Defeat Radical Islam and How We Can Do It. 34 minutes 8MB Book Description- They Must Be Stopped is New York Times bestselling author Brigitte Gabriel's warning to the world: We can no longer ignore the growth of radical Islam--we must act soon, and powerfully. Gabriel challenges our western and politically-correct notions about Islam, demonstrating why radical Islam is so deadly and how we can halt its progress. Brigitte Gabriel speaks her mind: *Fundamentalist Islam is a religion rooted in 7th century teachings that are fundamentally opposed to democracy and equality. *Radical Islamists are utterly contemptuous of all "infidelsâ (non-Muslims) and regard them as enemies worthy of death. *Madrassas in America are increasing in number, and they are just one part of a growing radical Islamic army on US soil. *Radical Islam exploits the US legal system and America"s protection of religion to spread its hatred for western values. *America must organize a unified voice that says "enoughâ to political correctness, and demands that government officials and elected representatives do whatever is necessary to protect us. Brigitte Gabriel has fearlessly faced down critics, death threats, and political correctness, and is one of the most sought after terrorism experts in the world. They Must Be Stopped is her clarion call to action. Gabriel thoroughly addresses the historical and religious basis of radical Islam, its frightening encroachment into societies around the world, and its abuses of democracy in the name of religion.

And his look at the war in Afghanistan and Iraq. 15.9MB 69 minutes About the book- From the front lines of the battle against Islamic fundamentalism, a searing, unforgettable book that captures the human essence of the greatest conflict of our time.Through the eyes of Dexter Filkins, the prizewinning New York Times correspondent whose work was hailed by David Halberstam as "reporting of the highest quality imaginable,â we witness the remarkable chain of events that began with the rise of the Taliban in the 1990s, continued with the attacks of 9/11, and moved on to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.Filkins's narrative moves across a vast and various landscape of amazing characters and astonishing scenes: deserts, mountains, and streets of carnage; a public amputation performed by Taliban; children frolicking in minefields; skies streaked white by the contrails of B-52s; a night"s sleep in the rubble of Ground Zero.We embark on a foot patrol through the shadowy streets of Ramadi, venture into a torture chamber run by Saddam Hussein. We go into the homes of suicide bombers and into street-to-street fighting with a battalion of marines. We meet Iraqi insurgents, an American captain who loses a quarter of his men in eight days, and a young soldier from Georgia on a rooftop at midnight reminiscing about his girlfriend back home. A car bomb explodes, bullets fly, and a mother cradles her blinded son.Like no other book, The Forever War allows us a visceral understanding of today's battlefields and of the experiences of the people on the ground, warriors and innocents alike. It is a brilliant, fearless work, not just about America"s wars after 9/11, but ultimately about the nature of war itself.

Show 258 Dennis Prager talks to Charles Murray, best selling author, social scientist, and senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. His new book is Real Education: Four Simple Truths for Bringing America's Schools Back to Reality. 7.9MB 34 minutes. With four simple truths as his framework, Charles Murray, the bestselling coauthor of The Bell Curve, sweeps away the hypocrisy, wishful thinking, and upside-down priorities that grip America's educational establishment. Ability varies. Children differ in their ability to learn academic material. Doing our best for every child requires, above all else, that we embrace that simplest of truths. America"s educational system does its best to ignore it.Half of the children are below average. Many children cannot learn more than rudimentary reading and math. Real Education reviews what we know about the limits of what schools can do and the results of four decades of policies that require schools to divert huge resources to unattainable goals. Too many people are going to college. Almost everyone should get training beyond high school, but the number of students who want, need, or can profit from four years of residential education at the college level is a fraction of the number of young people who are struggling to get a degree. We have set up a standard known as the BA, stripped it of its traditional content, and made it an artificial job qualification. Then we stigmatize everyone who doesn't get one. For most of America"s young people, today's college system is a punishing anachronism.America"s future depends on how we educate the academically gifted. An elite already runs the country, whether we like it or not. Since everything we watch, hear, and read is produced by that elite, and since every business and government department is run by that elite, it is time to start thinking about the kind of education needed by the young people who will run the country. The task is not to give them more advanced technical training, but to give them an education that will make them into wiser adults; not to pamper them, but to hold their feet to the fire. The good news is that change is not only possible but already happening. Real Education describes the technological and economic trends that are creating options for parents who want the right education for their children, teachers who want to be free to teach again, and young people who want to find something they love doing and learn how to do it well. These are the people for whom Real Education was written. It is they, not the politicians or the educational establishment, who will bring American schools back to reality.Twenty-four years ago, Charles Murrayâs Losing Ground changed the way the nation thought about welfare. Real Education is about to do the same thing for Americaâs schools. About the Author CHARLES MURRAY is the author of two of the most widely debated and influential social policy books in the last three decades, Losing Ground: American Social Policy 1950-1980 and, with the late Richard J. Herrnstein, The Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life. He is the W. H.

Show 256 The Drama of Obama on Racism: Analyzing Obama's Speech on Race. Michael Medved talks to author Wayne Perryman. 35 minutes 8MB  From the publisher-  (text verbatim from rear cover) "After Senator Obama"s inspiring and thought-provoking speech on race, most Americans feel it is time to set the record straight regarding the origin of racism in America. Over the years, we have had several discussions on the subject, most of which focused on the relationship between blacks and whites. But seldom have we ever acknowledged the number of whites who gave their lives to wipe out this deadly social disease nor have we reviewed the role that politics played in establishing a racist society. Historians report that one party supported slavery and Jim Crow while the other party opposed them. They also report that one party was known as the Party of White Supremacy and the other party was known as Nigger Lovers. Senator Obama confirms this fact in his book: Dreams from my Father. He tells his readers how white Chicago Democrats vowed to vote Republican before they would vote for a black man (Harold Washington) to be mayor of Chicago. Many have confessed that the Senators March 18, 2008 speech was compelling, comprehensive and forthright and perhaps one of the greatest speeches on race since the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther Kings I Have a Dream speech. Although his speech touched the hearts of all American citizens, its fatal flaw was its failure to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth regarding who was really behind the efforts to divide our country by race. This book is an in-depth analysis of Obama's speech and contains information he chose not to include and information that Congressman Steve Cohen ignored when he introduced the Resolution to apologize to African Americans for slavery and Jim Crow (on July 29, 2008)."

Author Iris Chang.  Product description- In December of 1937, Nanking was the site of one of the most brutal massacres in the long annals of wartime barbarities. The Japanese army swept into the ancient city and within weeks not only looted and burned the city, but systematically raped, tortured, and murdered more than 300,000 Chinese civilians.   From the ACU- We put this audio selection together in an attempt to better convey America's motivation and determined resolve to destroy the empire of Japan when called upon to do so. By 1940 Americans had no illusions as to the fate that would befall  U.S. cities that fell under the control of of the Japanese military. Secondly, it is an example of conduct and warfare of non-Christian  governments and military leaders that are not restrained by the belief that a God will hold them accountable for their treatment of others.

Show 252 The Case Against Barack Obama: The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media's Favorite Candidate. Medved interviews author. Audio MP3 Show Michael Medved talks to the author David Freddoso about his book The Case Against Barack Obama: The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media"s Favorite Candidate. 8MB 35 Minutes. Has any major presidential candidate received less critical examination than Barack Obama? People blindly flock to him, the press fawns over him, but nobody questions his promises, plans, or past - until now. In The Case Against Barack Obama: The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media's Favorite Candidate, investigative reporter David Freddoso removes the gilt from the golden candidate, exposing Obama for who he really is: the #1 most liberal U.S. senator whose policies and inexperience could put our country in serious jeopardy. Like any convincing argument, Freddoso supports The Case Against Barack Obama with sound evidence and facts. Delving into Obama"s legislative record, interviewing his colleagues, and analyzing Obamaâs books and speeches, Freddoso does the research that the media has neglected. His conclusion? Obama the Orator is very different from Obama the Legislator. From his history of supporting corrupt Chicago politics to his extreme liberal voting record, The Case Against Barack Obama proves that Obama is not the politician of "changeâ, but the politician of status quo.  For all of Michael Medveds shows go to https://www.michaelmedved.com/site to listen live for free or $4.95 per month to download all of his podcasts.-

Show 251 Icon of Evil: Hitler"s Mufti and the Rise of Radical Islam. Michael Medved talks to co-author John Rothmann. 37 minutes 8.5MB Book description- A chilling, fascinating, and nearly forgotten historical figure is resurrected in a riveting work that links the fascism of the last century with the terrorism of our own. Written with verve and extraordinary access to primary sources in several languages, Icon of Evil is the definitive account of the man who during World War II was called "the fÃhrer of the Arab worldâ and whose ugly legacy lives on today.In 1921, the beneficiary of an appointment the British would live to regret, Haj Amin al-Husseini became the mufti of Jerusalem, the most eminent and influential Islamic leader in the Middle East. For years, al-Husseini fomented violence in the region against the Jews he loathed and wished to destroy. Forced out in 1937, he eventually found his way to the country whose legions he desperately wished to join: Nazi Germany.Here, with new and disturbing details, David G. Dalin and John F. Rothmann show how al-Husseini ingratiated himself with his hero, Adolf Hitler, becoming, with his blonde hair and blue eyes, an "honorary Aryan,â while dreaming of being installed Nazi leader of the Middle East. Al-Husseini would later recruit more than 100,000 Muslims in Europe to fight in divisions of the Waffen-SS, and obstruct negotiations with the Allies that might have allowed four thousand Jewish children to escape to Palestine. Some believe that al-Husseini even inspired Hitler to implement the Final Solution. At war's end, al-Husseini escaped indictment at Nuremberg and was harbored in France before being given a hero"s welcome in Egypt.Icon of Evil chronicles al-Husseiniâs postwar relationships with such influential Islamic figures as the radical theoretician Sayyid Qutb and Saddam Husseinâs powerful uncle, General Khairallah Talfah, and his crucial mentoring of the young Yasser Arafat. Finally, it provides compelling evidence that al-Husseiniâs actions and writings serve as inspirations today to the leaders of Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist organizations pledged to destroy Israel and the United States.Revelatory and unsettling, Icon of Evil reveals an essential character in the worst crimes of the modern era. It is an important addition to our understanding of the past, present, and future of radical Islam. About the AuthorDavid G. Dalin is the Taube Research Fellow in American History at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. He is the author, co-author, or editor of nine books, including Religion and State in the American Jewish Experience (with Jonathan D. Sarna), The Presidents of the United States and the Jews, and The Myth of Hitlerâs Pope.

Show 242 How would God vote. Michael Medved talks to author David Klinghoffer.  37 minutes 8.5MB From How Would God Vote?"The Bible commands a style of politics that in the American context could only be described as deeply conservative. Is, then, the politics of God theocratic?âA strong case could be made for theocracy, American-style, if the word were defined not in the conventional way but according to its root meaning. Democracy signifies the rule of the demos, the people. Strictly speaking, theocracy means the rule not of churches or priests but of theos, God. It won't do to deny that many conservatives, even while unambiguously affirming the traditional American separation of church and state, would add more theos to the democratic mix than is currently the case. I choose not to call myself a theocrat because I know how eager liberal secularists would be to twist the word against me. Dishonestly they would make it appear that I wish to impose a literal biblical theocracy, that I would dumbly imitate word for word the political structure of king, priesthood, and religious high court that existed in biblical antiquity.âYet, in a subtler sense, are we not all theocrats now?â This startlingly original investigation into the controversies dividing America provides a clear and convincing affirmation of the relevance of the Bible to contemporary politics.With liberals and conservatives alike claiming the authority of the Bible as support for their views on social and moral issues, the need to understand what the Bible actually says has never been more pressing. In How Would God Vote?, journalist and scholar David Klinghoffer illuminates the worldview set forth in the Scriptures and argues that, with some exceptions, the God of the Bible would overwhelmingly support traditionally conservative principles and policies.Klinghoffer considers the ethical and moral heart of contemporary political debatesâquestions like immigration, gay marriage, abortion, care for the poor, war and peace, censorship, privacy, the place of religion in schools and the community, and much more. There is a pattern here. It"s for a very good reason that conservatives line up as they do, predictably, on a range of issue; as do liberals. The two competing political philosophies derive from radically different ways of looking at the world: one in consonance with the Bible, the other very much not.Klinghoffer, however, is no stereotypical Republican. Controversially, he argues that the Bible would have us emphasize domestic policy, the classic pre-9/11 culture war issues, over a hyped-up âWorld War IVâ against âIslamofascism.â The Bible has a foreign policy, he shows, and it is not neoconservative. He demonstrates support in the Scriptures for a welcoming attitude toward immigrants, for gun control, and for affirmative action.The Bible, Klinghoffer shows, is no mere list of dos and donâts but a fully coherent and practically relevant portrait of moral reality, compelling and deep enough to guide not only our private but our public lives. Even if we as individuals fail its private tests, thatâs no reason to reject its public lessons.To anyone who takes God seriously, every election poses a radical question: Will we vote with Him, or against Him? The Bible is an unapologetically political book, Klinghoffer explains, and an extremely conservative one. Some political views offend God, and those views are mostly liberal. In short, the Bible commands you to be a conservative.Stimulating and provocative, How Would God Vote? is an important contribution to pre-election debates and to setting the path the nation will follow in the future under a new president.

To see the free video visit Google Video - Islam: What  the West needs to know.  ACU highly recommends this documentary.  Documentary description-An examination of Islam, violence, and the fate of the non-Muslim world.Virtually every major Western leader has over the past several years expressed the view that Islam is a peaceful religion and that those who commit violence in its name are fanatics who misinterpret its tenets. This claim, while widely circulated, rarely attracts serious public examination. Now, the question is finally being asked, "Is Islam itself violent?"Through an examination of the Koran, other Islamic texts, and the example of the prophet Muhammad, this documentary establishes, through a sober and methodical presentation, that violence against non-Muslims is and has always been an integral aspect of Islam. "Jihad," while best translated as "struggle," as represented in the Koran and the life of Muhammad, means nothing less than organized warfare against unbelievers. Relying primarily on Islam's own sources, this documentary demonstrates that Islam is a violent, expansionary ideology that seeks the destruction or subjugation of other faiths, cultures, and systems of government.The documentary consists of original interviews, citations from Islamic texts, Islamic artwork, computer-animated maps, footage of Western leaders, and Islamic television broadcasts. Its tone is sober, methodical, and compelling.Features interviews with noted experts on Islam including Robert Spencer, Serge Trifkovic, Bat Ye'or, Abdullah Al-Araby, and former terrorist Walid Shoebat.

Show 237 Dennis Prager talks to Dick Morris, columnist for the New York Post and renown political commentator. His latest book is Fleeced: How Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, Media Mockery of Terrorist Threats, Liberals Who Want to Kill Talk Radio, the Do-Nothing Congress, Companies ... Are Scamming Us ... and What to Do About It. 35 minutes 8MB  Here are the facts: The United States has released 425 terrorists from GuantÃnamo, at least 50 of whom have returned to the battlefield to fight our troops. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton both say they're fiscally responsible. But each has called for $1 trillion in tax increases over the next ten yearsâand dressed them up as tax cuts! Mainstream Media has been given marching orders from the Society of Professional Journalists: never refer to "Islamic terrorists" or "Muslim terrorists." And they are obeying! Whenever our brave agents disrupt a terror plot, The media dismisses the culprits as a gang of idiotsâlulling us into a false sense of security. If the liberals win the 2008 election, they will cripple talk radioâforcing stations to give equal time to left-wing programs, and insisting that liberals play a key role in station management. Up to a quarter of all state pension funds in the United States are invested in companies that are helping Iran, Syria, North Korea, or the Sudanâfor a total of nearly $200 billion. The Do-Nothing Congress is still doing nothingâand the worst offenders are the presidential candidates Clinton, Obama, and McCain, who never show up for their day jobs as senators . . . except to pick up their $165,000 paycheck! Is it any wonder that Americans feel fleeced at every turn? As more and more critical problems develop that need national attention, the White House and Congress appear to be AWOL. Who's calling the shots instead? Big business, big government, big labor, and big lobbyists. And their self-serving agendas are doing nothing to help the ever-increasing number of American people who are losing their homes, paying credit card interest rates higher than 25 percent, and finding their jobs increasingly outsourced to foreign countries. In this hard-hitting call to arms, Dick Morris and Eileen McGann reveal the hundreds of ways American tax-payers are routinely fleecedâby our own government; by foreign countries like Dubai that are gobbling up American interests and spending millions to influence government decisions and American public opinion; by Washington lobbying firms that are pushing the agendas of corrupt foreign dictators on Capitol Hill; and by hedge-fund billionaires collecting huge tax breaks courtesy of the IRS. With their characteristic blend of sharp analysis and insider insight, Morris and McGann call offenders of all kinds on the carpetâand offer practical agendas we all can follow to help turn the tide.

 Show 236  Whos Giving? Author Arthur C. Brooks discusses charity at the Heritage Foundation in Washington DC. To watch the video of this speech visit Arthur C. Brooks at the Heritage Foundation A charity divide runs through  America: three-quarters of Americans contribute their time and money to various causes, while the rest of the population does not, according to Arthur C. Brooks, a leading scholar on economics and public policy. Brooks' research identifies the factors driving American charity, including strong families, church attendance, and the belief that social ills are best addressed by individuals rather than government. Brooks' findings have significant implications for policy debates on pressing issues like welfare reform, urban policy, the estate tax, education, and church/state questions. Charity matters, says Brooks, not only to individual donors and recipients who benefit directly, but also to the prosperity and self-government of America as a whole. Arthur C. Brooks has authored numerous articles and books related to charity and civic life. He is professor of public administration at Syracuse University's Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs and is a regular contributor to the Wall Street Journal.  Aurthur C. Brooks, author of Who Really Cares. The suprising truth about compassionate conservativism.  We all know we should give to charity, but who really does? In Who Really Cares, he demonstrates conclusively that conservatives really are compassionate-far more compassionate than their liberal foes. Strong families, church attendance, earned income (as opposed to state-subsidized income), and the belief that individuals, not government, offer the best solution to social ills-all of these factors determine how likely one is to give. Charity mattersânot just to the givers and to the recipients, but to the nation as a whole. It is crucial to our prosperity, happiness, health, and our ability to govern ourselves as a free people. In Who Cares, Brooks outlines strategies for expanding the ranks of givers, for the good of all Americans.

If it is, why not endorse polygamy? The other argument the Los Angeles Times makes is that banning same sex marriage is like banning interracial marriage. It"s a silly argument. There are no differences between the races except skin color. But there are major differences between men and women. But this doesn't matter.

Show 233 Michael Medved talks to author of The Devil"s Delusion, David Berlinski. 37 minutes 8MB Book Description:  Militant atheism is on the rise. Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, and Christopher Hitchens have dominated bestseller lists with books denigrating religious belief as dangerous foolishness. And these authors are merely the leading edge of a far larger movement-one that now includes much of the scientific community."The attack on traditional religious thought,â writes David Berlinski in The Devil's Delusion, "marks the consolidation in our time of science as the single system of belief in which rational men and women might place their faith, and if not their faith, then certainly their devotion.âA secular Jew, Berlinski nonetheless delivers a biting defense of religious thought. An acclaimed author who has spent his career writing about mathematics and the sciences, he turns the scientific community"s cherished skepticism back on itself, daring to ask and answer some rather embarrassing questions:Has anyone provided a proof of God's inexistence?Not even close. Has quantum cosmology explained the emergence of the universe or why it is here?Not even close.Have the sciences explained why our universe seems to be fine-tuned to allow for the existence of life?Not even close.Are physicists and biologists willing to believe in anything so long as it is not religious thought?Close enough.Has rationalism in moral thought provided us with an understanding of what is good, what is right, and what is moral?Not close enough.Has secularism in the terrible twentieth century been a force for good?Not even close to being close.Is there a narrow and oppressive orthodoxy of thought and opinion within the sciences?Close enough.Does anything in the sciences or in their philosophy justify the claim that religious belief is irrational?Not even ballpark.Is scientific atheism a frivolous exercise in intellectual contempt?Dead on.Berlinski does not dismiss the achievements of western science. The great physical theories, he observes, are among the treasures of the human race. But they do nothing to answer the questions that religion asks, and they fail to offer a coherent description of the cosmos or the methods by which it might be investigated.This brilliant, incisive, and funny book explores the limits of science and the pretensions of those who insist it can be-indeed must be-the ultimate touchstone for understanding our world and ourselves.

His latest book is The Fall and Rise of the Islamic State.  35 minutes 8MB Perhaps no other Western writer has more deeply probed the bitter struggle in the Muslim world between the forces of religion and law and those of violence and lawlessness as Noah Feldman. His scholarship has defined the stakes in the Middle East today. Now, in this penetrating book, Feldman tells the story behind the increasingly popular call for the establishment of the shari'a--the law of the traditional Islamic state--in the modern Muslim world. Western powers call it a threat to democracy. Islamist movements are winning elections on it. Terrorists use it to justify their crimes. What, then, is the shari'a? Given the severity of some of its provisions, why is it popular among Muslims? Can the Islamic state succeed--should it? Feldman reveals how the classical Islamic constitution governed through and was legitimated by law. He shows how executive power was balanced by the scholars who interpreted and administered the shari'a, and how this balance of power was finally destroyed by the tragically incomplete reforms of the modern era. The result has been the unchecked executive dominance that now distorts politics in so many Muslim states. Feldman argues that a modern Islamic state could provide political and legal justice to today's Muslims, but only if new institutions emerge that restore this constitutional balance of power. The Fall and Rise of the Islamic State gives us the sweeping history of the traditional Islamic constitution--its noble beginnings, its downfall, and the renewed promise it could hold for Muslims and Westerners alike. Noah Feldman is professor at Harvard Law School. He is a contributing writer for the New York Times Magazine and an adjunct senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations.

Show 232 Makers and Takers. Michael Medved talks to author Peter Schweizer. 37 minutes 8MB .  Book Description:  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 2Â 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 liberalâ 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 constructedâand the media has pushedâelaborate theories designed to demonstrate that conservatives suffer 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 deepâthrough tax documents, scholarly data, primary opinion research surveys, and private recordsâand 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.  For all of Michael Medveds shows go to https://www.michaelmedved.com/site to listen live for free or $4.95 per month to download all of his podcasts.-

Show 230 Excerpt from the audio book dealing with the great questions of human existence, The origins of the universe and life on earth. The Language of God A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief By Francis S. Collins From Simon Schuster publishers- Dr. Francis Collins, head of the Human Genome Project, is one of the world's leading scientists. He works at the cutting edge of the study of DNA, the code of life. Yet he is also a man of unshakable faith in God and scripture. Dr. Collins believes that faith in God and faith in science can coexist within a person and be harmonious. In The Language of God he makes his case for God and for science. He has heard every argument against faith from scientists, and he can refute them. He has also heard the needless rejection of scientific truths by some people of faith, and he can counter that, too. He explains his own journey from atheism to faith, and then takes readers for a stunning tour of modern science to show that physics, chemistry, and biology can all fit together with belief in God and the Bible.

Show 228 The Post American World. Michael Medved talks to author Fareed Zakaria. 37 minutes 8.5MB. Synopsis- One of our most distinguished thinkers argues that the "rise of the restâ is the great story of our time. "This is not a book about the decline of America, but rather about the rise of everyone else.â So begins Fareed Zakaria's important new work on the era we are now entering. Following on the success of his best-selling The Future of Freedom, Zakaria describes with equal prescience a world in which the United States will no longer dominate the global economy, orchestrate geopolitics, or overwhelm cultures. He sees the "rise of the restââthe growth of countries like China, India, Brazil, Russia, and many othersâas the great story of our time, and one that will reshape the world. The tallest buildings, biggest dams, largest-selling movies, and most advanced cell phones are all being built outside the United States. This economic growth is producing political confidence, national pride, and potentially international problems. How should the United States understand and thrive in this rapidly changing international climate? What does it mean to live in a truly global era? Zakaria answers these questions with his customary lucidity, insight, and imagination. The New York Times Book Review - Josef Joffe âmake no mistake. This is a relentlessly intelligent book that eschews simple-minded projections from crisis to collapse. There is certainly plenty to bemoanâfrom the disappearing dollar to the subprime disaster, from rampant anti-Americanism to wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that will take years to win. Yet Zakaria"s is not another exercise in declinism. His point is not the demise of Gulliver, but the "rise of the rest.â Biography- Fareed Zakaria is the editor of Newsweek International and writes a weekly column on international affairs. His previous book was the New York Times bestseller The Future of Freedom. He lives in New York City.

Show 225 George Washington on Leadership. Michael Medved talks to author Richard Brookhiser. 37 minutes 8.6MB Synopsis- FIRST IN WAR, FIRST IN PEACE, FIRST IN LEADERSHIP. Richard Brookhiser's revolutionary biography, Founding Father, took George Washington off the dollar bill and made him live. Now, with his trademark wit and precision, Brookhiser expertly examines the details of Washington"s life that fullscale biographies sweep over, to instruct us in true leadership. George Washington on Leadership is a textbook look at Washington's three spectacularly successful careers as an executive: general, president, and tycoon. Brookhiser explains how Washington maximized his strengths and overcame his flaws, and inspires us to do likewise. It shows how one man"s struggles and successes 200 years ago can be a model for leaders today. Washington oversaw two startups-the army and the presidency. He chaired the most important meeting in American history-the Constitutional Convention. Washington rose from being a third son who was a major in the militia, to one of the most famous men in the world. At every stage in his career, he had to deal with changing circumstances, from tobacco prices to geopolitics, and with wildly different classes of men, from frontiersmen to aristocrats. Washingtonâs example is so crucial because of the many firsts he is responsible for.About the Author- Richard Brookhiser is the author of What Would the Founders Do?, Founding Father, Alexander Hamilton, American, and Americaâs First Dynasty: The Adamses, 1735-1918. He wrote and hosted the critically acclaimed PBS documentary Rediscovering George Washington, is a columnist for TIME magazine, and is a senior editor of National Review. He has written for The New Yorker and the New York Times. He lives in New York City.

Show 221 Moment of Truth in Iraq: How a New 'Greatest Generation' of American Soldiers is Turning Defeat and Disaster into Victory and Hope. Michael Medved talks to author Michael Yon. 37 minutes 8.6MB Synopsis- Never underestimate the American soldier. That's the moral of former Green Beret Michael Yon's brilliant battle-by-battle, block-by-block tale of how America's new 'greatest generation' of soldiers is turning defeat and disaster into victory and hope in Iraq. The American soldier is the reason General David Petraeus's brilliant strategy of moving our soldiers off isolated bases and out among the Iraqi people is working. Working to find and kill terrorists, reclaim neighborhoods, and help lead Iraq to democracy. Yon is no cheerleader. According to the New York Times, he has logged more time in combat situations in Iraq than any other U.S. reporter. When failed American leadership was driving Iraq into chaos and civil war, nobody told the story earlier or better than Michael Yon. The top brass was so mad that twice the U.S. military denied him access to Iraq. So Yon has supreme credibility when he says that we are finally winning, not primarily with our overwhelming technology, not with shock and awe destruction, but with the even more powerful force of American values--with the courage and leadership, strength and compassion of our soldiers. Moment of Truth in Iraq is packed with Yon's trademark thrilling and often heart-rending tales from the battlefield: * The American commander fed up with phony Al Qaeda 'documentaries' that showed terrorists shooting at bombed out American vehicles as if they had beaten us in open battle. The commander and his men staged the "bombing" of a broken down truck, then when the terrorists came to put on their act, Navy SEAL snipers killed every one. * Follow the exploits of the great "Deuce Four" battalion that becamethe center of a "warrior cult" dreaded by terrorists and revered by Iraqis. *Think Iraqi soldiers can't fight? Read about the elite Iraqi SWAT team taking down a terror cell for the murder of four American soldiers and a brave Iraqi guide. *Think Americans are occupiers, not liberators, of Iraq? Tell that to the wounded Iraqi interpreter, who, convinced he was about to die, begged his U.S. commander to have his heart cut out and buried in America. * Learn why so many Iraqi boys dream of becoming American soldiers. * Brutalized by Saddam for decades, Iraqis hungered for strength entwined with justice and tempered by mercy. The American soldier delivered. Here is the true, untold story of the American soldier and the courage and values that are bringing victory for America-and Iraq. The New York Times rack[ed] up more time embedded with combat units than any other journalist

Show 219 A Conservative History of the American Left. Michael Medved interviews author Daniel Flynn. 34 minutes. 8MB From Human Events books: Loony Leftism: it didn't start with Hillary Clinton"s comparison of marriage and family with slavery and the Indian reservation system. It didn't start when Thomas Frank wrote in What"s the Matter with Kansas about "the borderline criminality of capitalism." It didn't even start with the Sixties! It"s surprising but true: the loony but now -- sadly -- mainstream Left has its roots in some radical movements that are centuries old.  Today, with the Leftâs influence once again growing in American life, despite its utter intellectual and moral bankruptcy, itâs more important than ever for conservatives to be able to mount a clear-eyed, informed resistance -- and thatâs why Daniel Flynnâs rollicking A Conservative History of the American Left is so eye-opening and timely. Here at last is the first book that dares to tear away the pious fictions surrounding the American Left, and to reveal the true origins of the loony Leftist ideas that leave conservatives frustrated, outraged, and amazed that anyone could think such insane things. Think that the wild ideas propagated by the Left today are newly minted? Think again. Flynn (author of the acclaimed Intellectual Morons and Why the Left Hates America) shows that many of them date back to the earliest days of America. And that even includes the Leftâs hatred for Christianity, its moral relativism, and its calls for government to solve all of our problems. All that and more can be traced back into the 19th century. Flynn demonstrates that the Leftâs arguments have been refuted, rejected, and discarded again and again, but generation after generation liberals trot them out again. Even liberal anti-Americanism is nothing new: Flynn notes that the famed abolitionist crusader William Lloyd Garrison, in 1848 published a piece in his newspaper, The Liberator, that read: "We only hope that, if blood has had to flow, that it has been that of the Americans." And Garrison is not the only forefather of the loony Left who ever haunted the American scene. Flynn introduces you to a rogueâs gallery of Leftist loons, hacks and psychopaths who were, paradoxically enough, taken seriously in their day, and left their mark on the Leftist movement ever after. These include Mary Gove Nichols, a free love advocate and anti-marriage activist who compared matrimony to slavery and prostitution, becoming the Betty Friedan of the antebellum era -- until she horrified her followers by getting married and converting to Catholicism! Then thereâs Victoria Claflin Woodhull, who ran for president on the Equal Rights Party ticket in 1872, 48 years before women could vote in presidential elections. An early hero of the feminist movement? Sure -- and also an advocate of far-out "scientific" religion featuring spirit rappings and the appearances of ghosts. And donât forget the grim and humorless Leftist ideologue Mike Gold, who denounced Gilbert and Sullivan as "the cultural pioneers of fascism" and proclaimed that "the Russian Bolsheviks will leave the world a better place than Jesus left it." An enthralling account of the nutty origins of the loony Left, A Conservative History of the American Left enables conservatives to understand and more effectively combat the Left today. Meet the old Leftists, same as the new Leftists:        John Humphrey Noyes and the Perfectionists: a 19th-century utopian community that anticipated the Leftâs "new," "cutting-edge" ideas of today -- including economic collectivism, free love, hostility to the nuclear family, pacifism, anti-Americanism, and passion for eugenics        Robert Owen, the rags-to-riches Welsh industrialist who identified private property, religion, and marriage as "the most monstrous evils" almost two centuries ago        Michael Mooreâs forefather: the crusading early twentieth century Leftist journalist who announced that he wanted to "destroy the facts"        The presidential administration that brought top-down reform by liberal technocrats, fast-paced centralization, and constitutional disposability to Washington long before Hillary Clinton was even born        The American Communist dupe who, with his propaganda, paved the way for the blood and violence of the Russian Revolution, and the terror of its aftermath        Why the American Socialist Party gets the lionâs share of attention from historians despite being far smaller and less influential than many other American third-party movements        The open racism of many of the most prominent Leftists of the nineteenth and earlier twentieth century -- foreshadowing the racial paternalism of todayâs Left        Why Karl Marxâs violent, one-size-fits-all, industry-centered ideology meshed better with the post-Civil War American Left than did the gradualist, experimental, agrarian-centered Communist movements of the prewar years        The Democratic demagogue who secured a presidential nomination by preaching class resentment        Whitewashing the Reds: the non-Communist American historian of China who willingly altered his account in order to please Chinaâs new Communist masters        The muddleheaded charlatan who suckered thousands of Americans -- including the best and brightest of the nineteenth-century American Left -- into believing him a political genius and spiritual luminary        Christianity should "redeem society as well as the individual from all sin": how the Social Gospel movement was born, and quickly left behind any trace of the Gospel at all        The Single Tax advocate who called for a draconian land tax that would, in effect, have forced property holders to rent land from the state "A tour de force. A Conservative History of the American Left is a compelling read, supported by an enormous amount of research. Even those on the Left will learn something about their movement by reading this book, although they are unlikely to enjoy reading Flynnâs many revelations and poignant insights." â- Peter Schweizer, bestselling author of Do As I Say (Not As I Do) "Witty, insightful, and informed, Dan Flynnâs A Conservative History of the American Left is the best introduction I know to this destructive and unavoidable social phenomenon." â-David Horowitz, bestselling author of The Professors, editor-in-chief of FrontPage Magazine For all of Michael Medveds shows go to https://www.michaelmedved.com/site to listen live for free or $4.95 per month to download all of his podcasts.-  

Show 218 The Really Inconvenient Truths: Seven Environmental Catastrophes Liberals Don"t Want You to Know About - Because They Helped Cause Them. Michael Medved talks to author Iain Murray. Why environmentalists are the environment's worst enemy And why effective environmental stewardship depends on free enterprise and property rights The liberal environmental movement takes for granted that strict government regulation and public ownership is necessary for the preservation of the environment. Yet who, in the end, is responsible for the great environmental catastrophes of the recent past? According to Iain Murray of the Competitive Enterprise Institute, the real answer is: environmentalists themselves. "The dogmatic ideologies and restrictive policies pushed on us by the environmental Left have harmed nature more than helped it,â argues Murray, "but the environmentalists have never borne the blame.â Now, in The REALLY Inconvenient Truths: Seven Environmental Catastrophes Liberals Don"t Want You to Know About - Because They Helped Cause Them, Murray reveals just how often and gravely liberal environmentalists have harmed the environment, how they have covered up this fact, and how conservatives can reclaim the environmental issue by stressing free-enterprise, private-property solutions. To make his case, Murray focuses on seven major modern environmental catastrophes that illustrate the failure of the liberal approach. All had tragic consequences for humans or the environment. All could have been avoided or mitigated by alternative approaches based on conservative thinking. Yet, in each case, the liberal approach was not to admit failureâbut to condemn the alternative approach, deny the problem exists, blame it on something else or even to claim it as a victory. The REALLY Inconvenient Truths reveals:        The origins of the modern liberal environmental movement in the campaign to ban DDTâand how that led to the resurgence of malaria in the poorest countries, with devastatingly fatal consequences        How the government-dictated preference for corn-based ethanol and other biofuels is causing massive land overuse, soaring food prices, and increased hunger in the poorest places        How a single SUV tank of ethanol-based gasoline burns enough food to feed a starving African for a year        How public ownership of waterways causes pollutionâand was the real reason Cleveland's Cuyahoga River "caught fireâ in 1969 (a founding myth of environmentalism)        How hormones from contraceptive and "morning afterâ pills are literally being flushed into rivers and causing bizarre sexual malformations in fishâand why, for once, there has been no outcry from liberals        Yellowstone in flames: How liberal-inspired management programs in the Forest Service and the National Parks have led to major wildfiresâincluding a near-castrophic one in the nation"s crown jewel, Yellowstone Park        How the Endangered Species Act actually increases the threat of wildlife extinctionâwhile private approaches have helped species recover all over the world        Getting the Green: how the environmental movement is funded by industries that reap enormous profits from environmental laws and regulations        How overfishing of the oceans results directly from liberal opposition to property rights in the oceans, as embodied in the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST)        Shut Up, He Explained: how censorship, manufactured outrage, and even phony âscienceâ are being used to cut short the debate over global warming        The Lost Sea: how the last attempt to âscientifically manageâ an economy, in Soviet Russia, caused the destruction of the Aral Seaâwhich Al Gore and others now wrongly blame on global warming        What history demonstrates about the importance of property rights in protecting the environment In this election year, Republican politicians tell us that conservatives need to adapt and develop an âenvironmentalâ policy to compete with liberal Democrats. In truth, no adaptation is needed. As The REALLY Inconvenient Truths demonstrates, liberal laws and policies that were introduced in the name of saving the environment are hurting itâwhereas conservative principles such as freedom and property rights help to preserve and protect the environment whenever they are allowed to work For all of Michael Medveds shows go to https://www.michaelmedved.com/site to listen live for free or $4.95 per month to download all of his podcasts.-

Show 210 Michael Medved talks to Douglas Feith, the former Under Secretary of Defense and a chief architect of the Iraq war. His new book is War and Decision: Inside the Pentagon at the Dawn of the War on Terrorism.  37minutes 8.6MB To purchase book visit Amazon War and Decision   Synopsis- Of all the players in the planning and evolution of the Bush Administrations war on terrorism, few were more integralâor more controversialâthan Douglas Feith, the chief strategist on Donald Rumsfelds Pentagon policy team. A highly influential international policy analyst for more than a quarter century before joining the Bush Administration in 2001, Feith worked closely with Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, Vice President Cheney, and President Bush in defining the U.S. response to the attacks of 9/11 -- from the successful war on Afghanistan to the more challenging invasion of Iraq and its aftermath. Now, in this candid and revealing memoir, Feithâa founding member of the "neoconservativeâ? movement and an architect of the administration's preventive strategy in the war on terrorismâoffers the most in-depth and authoritative account yet of the Pentagon"s evolving stance during one of the most controversial eras of American history. Drawing upon a unique trove of documents and records, this extraordinary chronicle will put the reader in the room for scores of previously unreported senior-level meetings, showing how hundreds of critical decisions were made in defense of American interests during and after the crisis of 9/11 -- decisions both successful and controversial. Where journalists like Bob Woodward could only speculate, Feith is the first inside player to reveal the inner workings of the Pentagon, at a time when history hung in the balance.  As the political battles over Iraq and the Bush administration surge onward, one thing has been missing: A fair and accurate assessment of how the battles were joined, from inside the team that planned them. With this exceptional work of history, Douglas Feith contributes the only thing that can change the course of the debate: the truth.        

Show 209 The New Cold War: Putin's Russia and the Threat to the West. Michael Medved talks to Author Edward Lucas. 26 minutes 6MB. In late 1999 when Vladimir Putin was named Prime Minister, Russia was a budding democracy. Multiple parties campaigned for seats in the Duma, the nation's parliament. The media criticized the government freely. Eight years later as Putin completes his second term as president of Russia and announces his bid for prime minister, the country is under a repressive regime. Human rights abuses are widespread. The Kremlin is openly hostile to the West. Yet the United States and Europe have been slow to confront the new reality, in effect, helping Russia win what experts are now calling the New Cold War. Edward Lucas, former Moscow Bureau Chief for The Economist, offers a harrowing portrait from inside Russia as well as a sobering political assessment of what the New Cold War will mean for the world. In this big, hard hitting and urgently needed book, he shows how* Russia is pursuing global energy markets* Neighboring nations are being coerced back into the former Soviet orbit* Journalists and dissidents are being silenced* Foreign investments and private enterprises are routinely defrauded* Putin is laying the groundwork for controlling industry and planning his new role as prime minister For all of Michael Medveds shows go to https://www.michaelmedved.com/site to listen live for free or $4.95 per month to download all of his podcasts.-

Show 205 What's So Great About Christianity by Dinesh DSouza. Medved talks to author. 37 minutes 8.5MB. From the Inside Flap- Is Christianity obsolete? Can an intelligent, educated person really believe the Bible? Or do the atheists have it right? Has Christianity been disproven by science, debunked as a force for good, and discredited as a guide to morality? Bestselling author Dinesh DSouza -What's So Great About America- looks at Christianity with a questioning eye, but treats atheists with equal skepticism. The result is a book that will challenge the assumptions of both believers and doubters and affirm that there really is, indeed, something great about Christianity. DSouza reveals: *Why Christianity explains what modern science tells us about the universe and our origins--that matter was created out of nothing, that light preceded the sun--better than atheism does *How Christianity created the framework for modern science, so that Christianity and science are not irreconcilable, but science and atheism might be *Why the alleged sins of Christianity--the Crusades, the Inquisition, the Galileo affair, an atheist's fable, --are vastly overblown *Why atheist regimes are responsible for the greatest mass murders of history *Why evolution does not threaten Christian belief, but actually supports the -argument from design- *Why atheists fear the Big Bang theory and the -anthropic principle- of the universe, which are keystones of modern astronomy and physics *How Christianity explains consciousness and free will, which atheists have to deny *Why ultimately you cant have Western civilization--and all we value from it--without the Christianity that gave it birth. Provocative, enlightening, a twenty-first-century successor to C. S. Lewis Mere Christianity, Dinesh DSouza's What's So Great About Christianity is the perfect book for the seeker, the skeptic, and the believer who wants to defend his faith. About the AuthorDinesh DSouza, a former White House domestic policy analyst, is currently the Rishwain Research Scholar at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. He is the bestselling author of Whats So Great About America, Ronald Reagan: How an Ordinary Man Became an Extraordinary Leader, and many other books.

Show 203 The Deniers: The World Renowned Scientists Who Stood Up Against Global Warming Hysteria. Medved talks to Author. 37 minutes 8.5MB Show The Deniers: The World Renowned Scientists Who Stood Up Against Global Warming Hysteria, Political Persecution, and Fraud**And those who are too fearful to do so. Michael Medved talks to Author. Al Gore and his media allies label any scientists who dispute the alleged "consensusâ on global warming as marginal crackpots, sell-outs to Big Oil, or even "deniers,â deliberately comparing them to neo-Nazi crackpots who deny the Holocaust. All lies, says environmentalist Solomon who profiles dozens of world-renowned climate scientists-leaders in their fieldsâwhose work contradicts Gore's claims. Many have faced vicious campaigns of intimidation by those who, like Gore, would pervert science and silence dissent to advance a political agenda. But the testimony of their work remains too powerful to deny. From the PublisherAl Gore says any scientist who disagrees with him on Global Warming is a kook, or a crook. Guess he never met these guys Dr. Edward Wegmanâformer chairman of the Committee on Applied and Theoretical Statistics of the National Academy of Sciencesâdemolishes the famous "hockey stickâ graph that launched the global warming panic. Dr. David Bromwichâpresident of the International Commission on Polar Meteorologyâsays âit"s hard to see a global warming signal from the mainland of Antarctica right now.â Prof. Paul ReiterâChief of Insects and Infectious Diseases at the famed Pasteur Instituteâsays âno major scientist with any long record in this fieldâ accepts Al Gore's claim that global warming spreads mosquito-borne diseases. Prof. Hendrik Tennekesâdirector of research, Royal Netherlands Meteorological Instituteâstates âthere exists no sound theoretical framework for climate predictability studiesâ used for global warming forecasts. Dr. Christopher Landseaâpast chairman of the American Meteorological Society"s Committee on Tropical Meteorology and Tropical Cyclonesâsays âthere are no known scientific studies that show a conclusive physical link between global warming and observed hurricane frequency and intensity.â Dr. Antonino Zichichiâone of the world's foremost physicists, former president of the European Physical Society, who discovered nuclear antimatterâcalls global warming models âincoherent and invalid.â Dr. Zbigniew Jaworowskiâworld-renowned expert on the ancient ice cores used in climate researchâsays the U.N. âbased its global-warming hypothesis on arbitrary assumptions and these assumptions, it is now clear, are false.â Prof. Tom V. Segalstadâhead of the Geological Museum, University of Osloâsays âmost leading geologistsâ know the U.N."s views âof Earth processes are implausible.â Dr. Syun-Ichi Akasofuâfounding director of the International Arctic Research Center, twice named one of the â1,000 Most Cited Scientists,â says much âArctic warming during the last half of the last century is due to natural change.â Dr. Claude Allegreâmember, U.S. National Academy of Sciences and French Academy of Science, he was among the first to sound the alarm on the dangers of global warming. His view now: âThe cause of this climate change is unknown.â Dr. Richard LindzenâProfessor of Meteorology at M.I.T., member, the National Research Council Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate, says global warming alarmists âare trumpeting catastrophes that couldnât happen even if the models were right.â Dr. Habibullo Abdussamatovâhead of the space research laboratory of the Russian Academy of Scienceâs Pulkovo Observatory and of the International Space Stationâs Astrometria project says âthe common view that manâs industrial activity is a deciding factor in global warming has emerged from a misinterpretation of cause and effect relations.â Dr. Richard TolâPrincipal researcher at the Institute for Environmental Studies at Vrije Universiteit, and Adjunct Professor at the Center for Integrated Study of the Human Dimensions of Global Change, at Carnegie Mellon University, calls the most influential global warming report of all time âpreposterous . . . alarmist and incompetent.â Dr. Sami Solankiâdirector and scientific member at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Germany, who argues that changes in the Sunâs state, not human activity, may be the principal cause of global warming: âThe sun has been at its strongest over the past 60 years and may now be affecting global temperatures.â Prof. Freeman Dysonâone of the worldâs most eminent physicists says the models used to justify global warming alarmism are âfull of fudge factorsâ and âdo not begin to describe the real world.â Dr. Eigils Friis-Christensenâdirector of the Danish National Space Centre, vice-president of the International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy, who argues that changes in the Sunâs behavior could account for most of the warming attributed by the UN to man-made CO2.

Show 202 Gusher of Lies- The Dangerous Delusions of Energy Independence. Michael Medved talks to the author Robert Bryce about energy independence. Synopsis- A surprising, irreverent, and scrupulously reported deconstruction of todays fashions in energy policy. Everybody is talking about energy independence. But is it really achievable? Is it actually even desirable? In this controversial, meticulously researched book, Robert Bryce exposes the false promises behind the rhetoric while blasting nearly everybody-Republicans, Democrats, environmentalists, and war-mongering neoconservatives-for misleading voters about our energy needs. Gusher of Lies explains why the idea of energy independence appeals to voters while also showing that renewable sources like wind and solar cannot meet Americas growing energy demand. Along the way, Bryce eviscerates the ethanol scam. Whether the issue is cost, water consumption, or food prices, corn ethanol is one of the longest-running robberies ever perpetrated on American taxpayers. Consumers concerned about peak oil and the future of global energy supplies need to understand that energy security depends on embracing free markets and the realities of interdependence. Gusher of Lies is illuminating, vital reading. Biography Robert Bryce is one of America's foremost energy journalists. He is currently the managing editor of Energy Tribune and a contributing writer for the Texas Observer. The author of Pipe Dreams: Greed, Ego, and the Death of Enron and Cronies: Oil, the Bushes, and the Rise of Texas, America's Superstate, he lives in Austin with his wife, Lorin, their three children, and a hyperactive bird dog named Biscuit.

In it, he argued that all of life on earth was the product of undirected natural processes. Time, chance, and natural selection. Since Darwin, biologists have relied on such processes to account for the origin of living things. Yet today, this approach is being challenged as never before. "Unlocking the Mystery of Lifeâ is the story of top-notch, contemporary scientists who are advancing a powerful ideaââthe theory of intelligent design.â Using state-of-the-art computer animation, âUnlocking the Mystery of Lifeâ transports you into the interior of the living cell to explore systems and machines that bear the unmistakable hallmarks of design. Discover the intricacy of a microscopic bacterial rotary motor, which spins at 100,000 rpm. Within the nucleus explore the wonder of DNA, a thread-like molecule that stores instructions to build the essential components of every living organism. It is part of a biological information processing system more complex and more powerful than any computer network. This compelling documentary examines an idea with the power to revolutionize our understanding of life... and to unlock the mystery of its origin. ReviewThe science is solid and the computer animations are superb. Unlocking is a great film.âPhilip S.

Show 194 Who really cares. Michael Medved talks to Aurthur C. Brooks, author of Who Really Cares. The suprising truth about compassionate conservativism. 37minutes 8.5MBWe all know we should give to charity, but who really does? Approximately three-quarters of Americans give their time and money to various charities, churches, and causes; the other quarter of the population does not. Why has America split into two nations: givers and non-givers? Arthur Brooks, a top scholar of economics and public policy, has spent years researching this trend, and even he was surprised by what he found. In Who Really Cares, he demonstrates conclusively that conservatives really are compassionate-far more compassionate than their liberal foes. Strong families, church attendance, earned income (as opposed to state-subsidized income), and the belief that individuals, not government, offer the best solution to social ills-all of these factors determine how likely one is to give. Charity mattersânot just to the givers and to the recipients, but to the nation as a whole. It is crucial to our prosperity, happiness, health, and our ability to govern ourselves as a free people. In Who Cares, Brooks outlines strategies for expanding the ranks of givers, for the good of all Americans.For all of Michael Medveds shows go to https://www.michaelmedved.com/site to listen live for free or $4.95 per month to download all of his podcasts.- Click here to start your free subscription to the American Conservative University newsletter We will send you notice each week about our new shows.

Show 190 Michael Medved interviews author John C. Wohlstetter.36 min 8.4MB. In a new book, The Long War Ahead And The Short War Upon Us, author John C. Wohlstetter outlines a frightening scenario of losing two wars with Islamic extremists and calls for a winner takes all battle against terror and barbarism. Wohlstetter describes a multi-dimensional war that will be almost impossible to win unless American changes its military and foreign policy strategies NOW. Wohlstetter says that American's foreign policy decisions have led to a 'perfect storm' war scenario that could embroil the U.S. in a prolonged war that will threaten the security - and perhaps the survival - of generations to come. The Long War Ahead And The Short War Upon Us is a must-read examination of America's war on terror that for the first time ever explains the battle from two perspectives- a Long War and a Short War. The Long War, refers to the atavistic barbarian adversaries who place no significance on life and use modern technologies in pursuit of their goal of annihilating modern societies. The Short War describes American's race to stop a Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) catastrophe. This book offers America a strategy for winning the war on terror. John Wohlstetter gets it right.

Michael Medved talks to Disesh D Souza. 37 minutes 8MB.  From THE ENEMY AT HOME- In this book I make a claim that will seem startling at the outset. The cultural left in this country is responsible for causing 9/11. â In faulting the cultural left, I am not making the absurd accusation that this group blew up the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. I am saying that the cultural left and its allies in Congress, the media, Hollywood, the nonprofit sector, and the universities are the primary cause of the volcano of anger toward America that is erupting from the Islamic world. The Muslims who carried out the 9/11 attacks were the product of this visceral rageâsome of it based on legitimate concerns, some of it based on wrongful prejudice, but all of it fueled and encouraged by the cultural left. Thus without the cultural left, 9/11 would not have happened.For all of Michael Medveds shows go to https://www.michaelmedved.com/site to listen live for free or $4.95 per month to download all of his podcasts.- Highly recommendedClick here to start your free subscription to the American Conservative University newsletter We will send you notice each week about our new shows.  To download this show, right click the direct download file below and select "Save target as..." and save the file on your computer.

It was the best selling non-fiction book of 1980. The book and TV series have been translated into over 2 dozen languages.

Free To Choose is about those who refined and continue to extend these ideas. Weâre pleased to provide you with an audio version of this 1980 PBS television series. Please view entire television series free at http://www.ideachannel.tv/  1 hr. 23 minutes  19MB Volume 7 - Who Protects the Consumer?  (1980)Various government agencies have been created on the claim that they will protect the consumer. These agencies restrict freedom, stifle beneficial innovation, and become agents for the industries or groups they are intended to regulate. Friedman explains how the apparent chaos of the market place, the competition of many suppliers for business, is the best protection of consumer interests.  Volume 8 - Who Protects the Worker  (1980)Unions sometimes protect some workers - their members - but usually at the expense of other workers. Government protects its employees and special groups of workers at the expense of other workers. Both unions and government restrict freedom. Friedman explains how the competition of employers for the talents of workers leads to the highest wages and best working conditions.

These agencies restrict freedom, stifle beneficial innovation, and become agents for the industries or groups they are intended to regulate. Friedman explains how the apparent chaos of the market place, the competition of many suppliers for business, is the best protection of consumer interests.   Volume 8 - Who Protects the Worker  (1980)Unions sometimes protect some workers - their members - but usually at the expense of other workers. Government protects its employees and special groups of workers at the expense of other workers. Both unions and government restrict freedom. Friedman explains how the competition of employers for the talents of workers leads to the highest wages and best working conditions.

Equal opportunity to better oneâs self, and the right to personally benefit from the gains realized, are consistent with freedom. Equality of results requires force. Taking from some to give to others destroys freedom and removes the incentive for creating new wealth. Friedman visits India, U.S. and Britain.

Friedman has long advocated using vouchers to solve the problem. He explains why. Friedman visits U.S. and Britain.

The stock market crash, the failure of the Bank of the United States, loss of personal savings, were visible symbols supporting this belief. As Friedman explains, the real cause was the unseen failure of government policy and action. Yet this crisis resulting from government failure leads to decades of government expansion. Volume 4 - From Cradle to Grave  (1980)The welfare state arises from the attempt to do good with other peopleâs money. Such attempts always fail because: Nobody spends somebody elseâs money as carefully as his own. Welfare is supply driven. Those spending the money use force to collect it and to insure those receiving it use it for ârightâ purposes. Good intentions are corrupted by bad means.

No parent, no child, no family in America is safe. The legal industry does not want you to hear this story. Radical feminists, bar associations, and social work bureaucracies have colluded to suppress this information. Even âpro-familyâ groups and civil libertarians look the other way.

Show 180 On My Honor- Why the American Values of the Boy Scouts Are Worth Fighting for. Dennis Prager talks with Texas Governor Rick Perry. His latest book. Synopsis- In On My Honor, Texas governor Rick Perry, through the legacy of the Boy Scouts of America, takes dead aim at the moral relativism of the secular humanist movement, indicting its corrosive impact on the culture. Examining the left's legal assaults on the Boy Scouts of America -- which span more than 30 years -- Perry offers prescient insight into the multi-faceted war, which pits the proponents of traditional American values against the radical leftist movement that seeks to tear down our social foundations. On My Honor underscores the depth to which the culture warriors of the left will go to force their secular humanist minority view upon American society and revered American institutions. It is a revealing look at a culture war that rages close to the surface of American life, and it is a must read for any American concerned that our society is slipping from the high moral ground of liberty to the valley of license. 23 minutes 5.4MB Download all of Dennis Pragers shows free at: http://www.townhall.com/talkradio/Show.aspx?RadioShowID =3  Click here to start your free subscription to the American Conservative University newsletter We will send you notice each week about our new shows.   For viewers of our webpage- To download this show, right click the direct download file below and select "Save target as..." and save the file on your computer.

Show 179 The Nuclear Jihadist. 1 of 2. Hugh Hewitt talks to authors Douglas Frantz and Catherine Collins about A.Q. Khan and how we could have stopped him. 54 minutes 12MB The world has entered a second nuclear age. For the first time since the end of the Cold War, the threat of nuclear annihilation is on the rise. Should such an assault occur, there is a strong likelihood that the trail of devastation will lead back to Abdul Qadeer Khan, the Pakistani father of the Islamic bomb and the mastermind behind a vast clandestine enterprise that has sold nuclear secrets to Iran, North Korea, and Libya.Khan's loose-knit organization was and still may be a nuclear Wal-Mart, selling weapons blueprints, parts, and the expertise to assemble the works into a do-it-yourself bomb kit. Amazingly, American authorities could have halted his operation, but they chose instead to watch and wait. Khan proved that the international safeguards the world relied on no longer worked. Journalists Douglas Frantz and Catherine Collins tell this alarming tale of international intrigue through the eyes of the European and American officials who suspected Khan, tracked him, and ultimately shut him down, but only after the nuclear genie was long out of the bottle.  To download some of Hugh Hewitts shows visit his website at Hugh Hewitt Click here to start your free subscription to the American Conservative University newsletter We will send you notice each week about our new shows.

Show 177 Comeback: Conservatism That Can Win Again. Michael Medved talks with author David Frum. About this book. At a moment of crisis and pessimism for American conservatives, David Frum offers fresh ideasâand fresh hope.Not in a generation has conservatism been in as much trouble as it is at the end of the Bush years. A majority of Americans say the country is âon the wrong track.â Voters prefer Democrats over Republicans on almost every issue, including taxes. The married, the middle-class, the native-born are dwindling as a share of the population, while Democratic blocs are rising. A generation of young people has turned its back on the Republican party.Too many conservatives and Republicans have shut their eyes to negative trends. David Frum offers answers.Frum says that the ideas that won elections for conservatives in the 1980s have done their job. Republicans can no longer win elections on taxes, guns, and promises to restore traditional values. Itâs time now for a new approach, including:A conservative commitment to make private-sector health insurance available to every AmericanLower taxes on savings and investment financed by higher taxes on energy and pollutionFederal policies to encourage larger familiesMajor reductions in unskilled immigrationA genuinely compassionate conservatism, including a conservative campaign for prison reform and government action against the public health disaster of obesityA new conservative environmentalism that promotes nuclear power in place of coal and oilHigher ethical standards inside the conservative movement and the Republican partyA renewed commitment to expand and rebuild the armed forces of the United Statesâto crush terrorismâand get ready for the coming challenge from ChinaFrumâs previous bestselling books have earned accolades for their courage and creativity from liberals and conservatives alike. Today, with the conservative movement and the Republican Party facing their greatest danger since Watergate, Frum has again stepped forward with new ideas to take conservatismâand Americaâinto a new century of greatness. About the Author DAVID FRUM is a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and a former special assistant and speechwriter to President George W. Bush. He is a regular commentator on American Public Radioâs Marketplace and writes the popular âDavid Frumâs Diaryâ for National Review.  He lives in Washington, D.C., with his wife and three children.  8.5MB 37 minutes For all of Michael Medveds shows go to https://www.michaelmedved.com/site to listen live for free or $4.95 per month to download all of his podcasts.- Highly recommended!  Click here to start your free subscription to the American Conservative University newsletter We will send you notice each week about our new shows.   Click here to start your free subscription to the American Conservative University newsletter We will send you notice each week about our new shows.

 Show 176 Wrong on Race- The Democratic Partys Buried Past. Medved talks to Author.  37 minutes  8.5MB In Wrong on Race, Bruce Bartlett sets the record straight on a hidden past that many Democrats would rather see swept under the carpet. Ranging from the founding of the Republic through to today, it rectifies the unfair perceptions of Americaâs two national parties. While Nixonâs infamous âSouthern Strategyâ is constantly referenced in the media, less well remembered are Woodrow Wilsonâs segregation of the entire Federal civil service; FDRâs appointment of a member of the KKK to the Supreme Court; John F. Kennedyâs apathy towards civil rights legislation;  and the ascension of Robert Byrd, who is current President pro tempore of the Senate, third in line in the presidential line of succession, and a former member of the KKK. For the last seventy years, African Americans have voted en masse for one party, with little in the end to show for it. Is it time for the pendulum to swing the other way? With the Republican Party furiously engaged in pre-2008 soul searching, this exhaustively researched, incisively written exposà will be an important and compelling component of that debate as we head towards November. Author Bio- Bruce Bartlett has had a nationally syndicated newspaper column for the last ten years, and has written for The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Commentary, The National Review, and Fortune. He was a domestic policy adviser to President Ronald Reagan and a treasury official under President George H.W. Bush.

Show 169 Michael Medved interviews author of Faith, Reason and the War Against Jihadism. Synopsis- Provocative and essential reading for those who would understand the religious convictions and passions that fuel Islamic jihadismâand what is needed to confront it A bracing manifesto that urges all Americansâthose who would lead the United States and those who will elect those leadersâto recognize and confront the religious convictions and passions that fuel Islamic jihadism, to understandâto really understandâits theological sources and ideological roots, and to take its global vision of the human future with the seriousness this challenge requires. Faith, Reason, and the War Against Jihadism offers fifteen bold prescriptions for meeting the threat of jihadist terrorism. Weigel sounds a clarion call for the reform of U.S. foreign and military policy in light of the lessons America should have learned from 9/11, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the grave threat of a nuclear-armed Iran. On the far side of the dangers of global jihadism, George Weigel argues, is the brighter prospect of a world capable of genuine pluralism: a world in which freedom, while never free, is not in retreat, but is poised once again at the cutting edge of history, and is the foundation of peaceful society. Provocative and essential reading for the 2008 election season, Faith, Reason, and the War Against Jihadism is a sobering analysis of the perilous years ahead.  Some lessons titles are: 1) The great human questions, including the great questions of public life, are ultimately theological.2) To speak of Judaism, Christianity and Islam as the three Abrahamic faiths, the three religions of the Book, or the three monotheisms obscures rather than illuminates. These familiar tropes ought to be retired.3) Jihadism is the enemy in the multifront war that has been declared upon us.4) Jihadism has a complex intellectual history, the chief points of which must be grasped in order to understand the nature of the threat it poses to the West.5) Jihadists read history and politics through the prism of their distinctive theological convictions, not through the lens of western assumptions about the progressive dynamic of history.6) It is not Islamophobic to note the historical connection between conquest and Muslim expansion or between contemporary jihadism and terrorism. Truth telling is the essential pre-requisite to genuine interreligious dialogue, which can only be based on the claims of reason.7) The war against Jihadism is a contest for the human future that will endure for generations.8) Genuine Realism in foreign policy takes wickedness seriously, yet avoids premature closure in its thinking about the possibilities of positive change in world politics.       &nbs p;   37 minutes 8.6MB For all of Michael Medveds shows go to https://www.michaelmedved.com/site to listen live for free or $4.95 per month to download all of his podcasts.- Click here to start your free subscription to the American Conservative University newsletter We will send you notice each week about our new shows.  To download this show, right click the direct download file below and select "Save as..." and save the file on your computer.

Show 163 Michael Medved interviews Dawn Stefanowicz author of Out from Under.  Dawn knows from personal experience that the environment in which a child is raised matters. Her story delivers a provocative, gripping, no-holds-barred account of what it was like to grow up with a homosexual father, his partners, and a chronically ill and passive mother. Candidly, transparently, yet respectfully, Dawn raises the blinds on a home shrouded in secrecy, conflict, confusion, and abuse. âOut From Under should be read by every legislator, lawyer, physician and mental health professional in a position to lobby for the best interests of children. May society heed Dawnâs courageous testimony and spare other innocents the suffering she and her siblings sustained.â -Michelle A. Cretella, M.D., Board of Directors, American College of Pediatricians, and Chair, Committee on Sexuality, ACP, United States âOut From Under is a personal account told in an emotional narrative. Stefanowicz tells of the enormous burden that was thrust upon her as a young person, a burden that is too great for any child. This story compels one to ponder the vulnerability of children, human suffering, and the meaning of life itself.â -Senator Anne Cools, Ottawa, Canada âDawn Stefanowicz has the courage to write a politically incorrect book. She has the right because she was raised in a homosexual environment and suffered because of it ... there are few books like this one, which argues that such environments are disturbing to children.â-Professor John Patrick, M.D., Augustine College, Ottawa, Canada âDawn Stefanowicz writes ... her personal experience, illustrating the unnaturalness of her parenting situation, the hypocrisy of those in her environment who pretended not to see this unnaturalness, and the loneliness of a child who is imprisoned in that situation ... â-Gerard J.M. van den Aardweg, Ph.D., psychologist specializing in the treatment of homosexuality, and author of many articles and several books, the Netherlands Dawn Stefanowicz is an author, speaker, media spokesperson, licensed accountant, and home educator. She recently addressed the Canadian Senate on hate crime legislation and appeared on EWTN. She advocates for children and families, pertaining to marriage, parenting, sexuality, and education.

Show 159 Dennis talks to Maureen Faulkner, the widow of Police Officer Danny Faulkner and author of Murdered by Mumia: A Life Sentence of Loss, Pain and Injustice. 34 minutes 7.8MBMaureen Faulkner is the widow of police officer Danny Faulkner, infamously murdered in Philadelphia in 1981 by Wesley Cook, who goes by the name of Mumia Abu-Jamal.  Although Abu-Jamal was convicted and sentenced to death in 1982, in May of 2007 his attorneys appealed his sentence once more (the federal appeals court has not yet ruled).  The defendant has become an international cult figure, who has been supported by such Hollywood activists as Ed Asner, Tim Robbins, and Susan Sarandon.  Faulkner and radio-host Smerconish tell the other side of the story: the widowâs anguish and grief and her attempts to bring closure to her husbandâs murder more than 25 years later.  Smerconish (who is also a lawyer) has studied the 5,000 pages of trial transcripts (transcripts Asner readily admits he has never looked at), and outlines and analyzes the issues and evidence.  The case is compelling, and the reader comes away convinced â as is Smerconish â that Abu-Jamal is guilty as charged.  It is a latter-day In Cold Blood.    The authorsâ proceeds from the sale of this book are being donated to Justice for Police Officer Daniel Faulkner, Inc. a nonprofit organization which benefits the children of Philadelphia murder victims.

While that's a small fraction of all American casualties, those deaths exceed the number of military women who died in Korea, Vietnam, and the Gulf War combined. Clearly, women in combat isn't a theoretical issue anymore. Women now fly combat aircraft and serve on warships. Even the remaining all-male corners of the military are blurring the lines in Iraq. And for many advocates, this trend is considered progress-toward a better, "gender neutral" military. Co-ed Combat makes the opposite case, based on research in anthropology, biology, history, psychology, sociology, and law, as well as military memoirs. It asks hard questions that challenge the assumptions of feminists. For instance:â Has warfare really changed so much as to reverse the almost unanimous history of all-male armed forces?â Are men and women really equivalent in combat skills, even leaving aside physical strength?â Do female troops respond to traditional types of motivations?â Can the bonds of unit cohesion form in a co-ed military unit?â Can an all-volunteer military afford to reject women? This is a controversial book, likely to draw a passionate response from both conservatives and liberals.  34 minutes 7.9MB  Click here to start your free subscription to the American Conservative University newsletter We will send you notice each week about our new shows.   To download this show, right click the direct download file below and select "Save as..." and save the file on your computer.

Show 157 Hugh talks to Americaâs leading political analyst and historian, Michael Barone, about his new book, Our First Revolution: The Remarkable British Upheaval That Inspired Americaâs Founding Fathers. 24 min 5.6MB About this book- The ideals of freedom and individual rights that inspired Americaâs Founding Fathers did not spring from a vacuum. Along with many other defining principles of our national character, they can be traced directly back to one of the most pivotal events in British historyâthe late-seventeenth-century uprising known as the Glorious Revolution.In a work of popular history that stands with recent favorites such as David McCulloughâs 1776 and Joseph J. Ellisâs Founding Brothers, Michael Barone brings the story of this unlikely and largely bloodless revolt to American readers and reveals that, without the Glorious Revolution, the American Revolution may never have happened. Unfolding in 1688â1689, Britainâs Glorious Revolution resulted in the hallmarks of representative government, guaranteed liberties, the foundations of global capitalism, and a foreign policy of opposing aggressive foreign powers. But as Barone shows, there was nothing inevitable about the Glorious Revolution. It sprang from the character of the English people and depended on the talents, audacity, and good luck of two men: William of Orange (later William III of England), who launched historyâs last successful cross-channel inva sion, and John Churchill, an ancestor of Winston, who commanded the forces of the deposed James II but crossed over to support William one fateful November night.The story of the Glorious Revolution is a rich and riveting saga of palace intrigue, loyalty and shocking betrayal, and bold political and military strategizing. With narrative drive, a sure command of historical events, and unforgettable portraits of kings, queens, soldiers, parliamentarians, and a large cast of full-blooded characters, Barone takes an episode that has fallen into unjustified obscurity and restores it to the prominence it deserves. Especially now, as we face enemies who wish to rid the world of the lasting legacies of the Glorious Revolutionâdemocracy, individual rights, and capitalism among themâit is vitally important that we understand the origins of these blessings.

Show 156 Dennis Prager talks to Kenneth Timmerman, journalist and best selling author. In 2006 he was nominated of the Nobel Peace Prize for his groundbreaking reporting on Irans nuclear weapons program. His latest book is Shadow Warriors: The Untold Story of Traitors, Saboteurs, and the Party of Surrender  -An alarming but necessary book that reads like a thriller. By raising uncomfortable questions, Ken Timmerman has performed a significant public service.-Michael Medved, nationally syndicated talk radio host.Some have called it the CIAâs greatest covert operation of all time. It is an intelligence war conducted behind the scenes, aimed at confusing, misleading, and ultimately defeating the enemy. The goal is nothing less than toppling the regime in power. A network of agents has been planted at key crossroads of power, stealing secrets, planting disinformation, and cooking intelligence. The plan involves sophisticated political sabotage operations that bring in opposition forces who can challenge the regime openly, in a way the CIA cannot. The scope is breathtaking. Who is the target of this vast, sophisticated CIA operation? Not the mullahs in Tehran or North Koreaâs power-mad Kim Jong Il; the target is Americaâs president, George W. Bush.Drawing on exclusive information from senior government officials, intelligence operatives, and many others, investigative reporter Kenneth Timmerman provides the full, untold story of the sabotage that occurs behind the scenes at key government agencies like the CIA and State Departmentâand the profound effect it has on Americas ability to confront its most dangerous enemies. In Shadow Warriors, Timmerman brings to light the vast underground working to undercut our nations efforts to win the war on terrorârevealing the when, where, how, and who for the first time. He also exposes the Democratic politicians who have sold out Americaâs national security for political gain.In Shadow Warriors youâll learn:âHow the CIA and State Department sabotaged the administrationâs Iraq war plans from the startâsparking the insurgency in the processâHow a high-level State Department official gathered aides after Bushâs reelection to insist they owed no allegiance to the president or his policiesâHow pre-war intelligence on Iraq was cookedânot by the Bush administration, but by its opponentsâHow and why the shadow warriors have leaked details of virtually every covert U.S. intelligence tool used in the war on terror âHow the leaks have devastated our efforts to fight terrorismâsuch as when a key U.S. ally rebuffed the CIA directors request for assistance by saying, -You Americans canât keep secrets- âWhy U.S. intelligence refused to examine important documents detailing the secret Iraqi networks that became the heart of the insurgencyâHow newly discovered Iraqi government documents reveal the extent of Saddam Husseinâs ties to international terrorists and the truth about his WMD arsenalShadow Warriors shows that George W. Bush never got the first rule of Washington: People are policy. He allowed his political enemies to run roughshod over his administration. This insiders look at secret White House meetings, political backstabbing, and war-room summits is an eye-opening account of the mind-set that is crippling our effectiveness in Iraq and around the world. 7.9mb 34 min.

His latest book is The Terrorist Watch: Inside the Desperate Race to Stop the Next Attack.16MB 71 min  About This Book âYou make a mistake, there are dead people.â âFBI Special Agent Art Cummings, head of international counterterrorism operations Drawing on unprecedented access to FBI and CIA counterterrorism operatives, New York Times bestselling author Ronald Kessler presents the chilling story of terroristsâ relentless efforts to mount another devastating attack on the United States and of the heroic efforts being made to stop those plots. Kessler takes you inside the war rooms of this battleâfrom the newly created National Counterterrorism Center to FBI headquarters, from the CIA to the National Security Agency, from the Pentagon to the Oval Ofïceâto explain why we have gone so long since 9/11 without a successful attack and to reveal the many close calls we never hear about. The race to stop the terrorists, Kessler shows, is more desperate than ever.Based on exclusive interviews with FBI Director Robert Mueller, CIA Director Michael Hayden, White House Counterterrorism Chief Fran Townsend, and dozens of key intelligence operatives at all levels, The Terrorist Watch:â tells the previously unreported story of how the United States helped thwart the 2006 London terrorist plot, broke up terrorist cells in Canada, and prevented numerous other attacks â reveals how the CIA and FBI have rolled up more than 5,000 terrorists worldwide since 9/11 â provides a stunning insiderâs account from the FBI agent who spent eight months debriefing Saddam Hussein after his captureâ pinpoints press leaks that have resulted in CIA agentsâ deaths, caused foreign countries to stop cooperating on key investigations, and even tipped off Osama bin Laden to U.S. surveillanceâ destroys numerous media myths, such as the canard that the FBI and CIA still donât cooperate on investigations â discloses the truth about the number of U.S. mosques where imans preach jihadâ shows how the intelligence community has radically changed its missionâand how the media have misled the public about those changes Never before has a journalist gained such access to the FBI, the CIA, the National Counterterrorism Center, and the other agencies that are doing the unheralded work of ïnding and capturing terrorists. Ronald Kesslerâs you-are-there narrative tells the real story of the war on terror and will transform the way you view the greatest problem of our age.For all of Michael Medveds shows go to https://www.michaelmedved.com/site to listen live for free or $4.95 per month to download all of his podcasts.- Highly recommended!  Download all of Dennis Pragers shows free at: http://www.townhall.com/talkradio/Show.aspx?RadioShowID =3  Click here to start your free subscription to the American Conservative University newsletter We will send you notice each week about our new shows.   To download this show, right click the direct download file below and select "Save as..." and save the file on your computer.

Show 152 Ann Coulter "Treason- Liberal Treachery From the cold war to the war on terrorism" Chapter 4 The indespensable Joe McCarthy.  Excellent book. Funny and Ferocious. A must have in your conservative library. To buy click here- Amazon- Treason from Ann Coulter. Audio book only $19.77  Rating 9 out of 10. 87 minutes 20MB From Amazon book description- -Liberals loyalty to the United States is off-limits as a subject of political debate. Why is the relative patriotism of the two parties the only issue that is out of bounds for rational discussion?-In a stunning follow-up to her number one bestseller Slander, leading conservative pundit Ann Coulter contends that liberals have been wrong on every foreign policy issue, from the fight against Communism at home and abroad, the Nixon and the Clinton presidencies, and the struggle with the Soviet empire right up to todayâs war on terrorism. -Liberals have a preternatural gift for always striking a position on the side of treason,- says Coulter. -Everyone says liberals love America, too. No, they donât.- From Truman to Kennedy to Carter to Clinton, America has contained, appeased, and retreated, often sacrificing Americaâs best interests and security. With the fate of the world in the balance, liberals should leave the defense of the nation to conservatives.Reexamining the sixty-year history of the Cold War and beyondâincluding the career of Senator Joseph McCarthy, the Whittaker ChambersâAlger Hiss affair, Ronald Reagans challenge to Mikhail Gorbachev to âtear down this wall,â the Gulf War, and our present war on terrorismâCoulter reveals how liberals have been horribly wrong in all their political analyses and policy prescriptions. McCarthy, exonerated by the Venona Papers if not before, was basically right about Soviet agents working for the U.S. government. Hiss turned out to be a high-ranking Soviet spy (who consulted Roosevelt at Yalta). Reagan, ridiculed throughout his presidency, ended up winning the Cold War. And George W. Bush, also an object of ridicule, has performed exceptionally in responding to Americaâs newest threats at home and abroad.Coulter, who in Slander exposed a liberal bias in todayâs media, also examines how history, especially in the latter half of the twentieth century, has been written by liberals and, therefore, distorted by their perspective. Far from being irrelevant today, her clearheaded and piercing view of what weâve been through informs us perfectly for challenges today and in the future. With Slander, Ann Coulter became the most recognized and talked-about conservative intellectual of the year. Treason, in many ways an even more controversial and prescient book, will ignite impassioned political debate at one of the most crucial moments in our history.

Show 145 Day of Empire. Michael Medved interviews author Amy Chua.From the publisher- In a little over two centuries, America has grown from a regional power to a superpower, and to what is today called a hyperpower. But can America retain its position as the worlds dominant power, or has it already begun to decline? Historians have debated the rise and fall of empires for centuries. To date, however, no one has studied the far rarer phenomenon of hyperpowersâthose few societies that amassed such extraordinary military and economic might that they essentially dominated the world.Now, in this sweeping history of globally dominant empires, bestselling author Amy Chua explains how hyperpowers rise and why they fall. In a series of brilliantly focused chapters, Chua examines historyâs hyperpowersâPersia, Rome, Tang China, the Mongols, the Dutch, the British, and the United Statesâand reveals the reasons behind their success, as well as the roots of their ultimate demise.Chuaâs unprecedented study reveals a fascinating historical pattern. For all their differences, she argues, every one of these world-dominant powers was, at least by the standards of its time, extraordinarily pluralistic and tolerant. Each one succeeded by harnessing the skills and energies of individuals from very different backgrounds, and by attracting and exploiting highly talented groups that were excluded in other societies. Thus Rome allowed Africans, Spaniards, and Gauls alike to rise to the highest echelons of power, while the barbarian Mongols conquered their vast domains only because they practiced an ethnic and religious tolerance unheard of in their time. In contrast, Nazi Germany and imperial Japan, while wielding great power, failed to attain global dominance as adirect result of their racial and religious intolerance.But Chua also uncovers a great historical irony: in virtually every instance, multicultural tolerance eventually sowed the seeds of decline, and diversity became a liability, triggering conflict, hatred, and violence.The United States is the quintessential example of a power that rose to global dominance through tolerance and diversity. The secret to Americaâs success has always been its unsurpassed ability to attract enterprising immigrants. Today, however, concerns about outsourcing and uncontrolled illegal immigration are producing a backlash against our tradition of cultural openness. Has America finally reached a tipping point? Have we gone too far in the direction of diversity and tolerance to maintain cohesion and unity? Will we be overtaken by rising powers like China, the EU or even India?Chua shows why American power may have already exceeded its limits and why it may be in our interest to retreat from our go-it-alone approach and promote a new multilateralism in both domestic and foreign affairs.To purchase book visit Amazon- Day of Empire  For all of Michael Medveds shows go to https://www.michaelmedved.com/site to listen live for free or $4.95 per month to download all of his podcasts.- Highly recommended Click here to start your free subscription to the American Conservative University newsletter We will send you notice each week about our new shows.  To download this show, right click the direct download file below and select "Save target as..." and save the file on your computer.

 Show142  Prude.  Hugh discusses what the culture is doing to the young girls of America with the author of the new book, Prude, Carol Platt Liebau.   Prude is an in-depth look at the forces telling young women that being sexy trumps intelligence and character every time. For those who aren't aware of just how sexualized teen-oriented fashion, reading, movies, television and music have become and why, it's a wake-up call. For parents who want their daughters to understand the physical, emotional and psychological dangers of giving too much, too soon, it puts all the facts at their fingertips. And for anyone who cares about the impact that teen sexuality has on America's economic and social life -- and believes it's time for a more wholesome teen culture -- it's a call to arms.  "I am going to make PRUDE required reading for all my listeners!"-- Dr. Laura Schlessinger, bestselling author  " If you are a mom or a dad, a grandmother or a grandfather, an aunt or an uncle, or a big sister or a big brother of a young girl about to enter or already in her teen years, you need to buy this book . . . This is the rarest of books -- one that could save a life. Liebau is surveying a culture that tells girls and teenage women to do everything they can to defeat themselves, to sell themselves short, to think of themselves first and sometimes only as sexual beings . . . With compelling specificity, Liebau lays out exactly how parents and all the other adults in the U.S. can take real-world steps to change the world that now works to limit girls . . . Read it. Pass it on. The life you save may be the one closest to you."-- Hugh Hewitt, nationally syndicated radio talk show host and author 8MB 35 min

OâRourke could make it possible On The Wealth of Nations Adam Smithâs The Wealth of Nations might well be the most influential work of economics ever written, but itâs never been considered a laugh-riot. That could change, however, with this explication of Smithâs free-market masterpiece by conservative commentator and humorist P.J. OâRourke. In On The Wealth of Nations, OâRourke manages to accomplish a fourfold task that no one would have thought possible: (1) to explain all of Smithâs ideas - from the simple to the complex - clearly and concisely; (2) to show how those principles can help us understand - and solve - todayâs economic social problems; (3) to use Smithâs evergreen wisdom as the jumping-off point for OâRourkeâs own biting social commentary; and (4) to keep you in stitches from beginning to end.

 Show 139  Dennis talks to Bjorn Lomborg, adjunct professor at the Copenhagen Business School . His new book is Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist's Guide to Global Warming Former vice president Al Gore â excuse us, Oscar-winning documentarian, Nobel laureate, and shamelessly hypocritical mansion-dwelling, jet-setting energy pig Al Gore â says global warming is nothing short of a "planetary emergency" demanding elaborate and expensive actions that will cost hundreds of billions of dollars. But is the hysteria surrounding global warming rational? And would the solutions he has in mind make things better for mankind -- or worse? Now, in Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalists Guide to Global Warming, noted environmental expert Bjorn Lomborg draws on extensive studies and analysis -- including the UN's most recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Report -- to debunk numerous popular myths that are causing people to panic (and Al Gore to win prizes). Lomborg -- previously the author of the bestselling The Skeptical Environmentalist, and named one of Time magazines 100 most influential people in 2004 -- does believe that global warming is occurring, but not to the degree, or at the pace, that alarmists like Al Gore would have us believe. Nor are the consequences all bad -- in fact, some are, and will be, very good, not only for our species but for others. The key, he believes, is to assess the facts and approach whatever problems need to be addressed in a rational way -- which means not wasting all our energy and resources on Chicken Little hysteria when there are more pressing problems facing the world. Cool It gives you the facts and documentation behind hundreds of "politically incorrect" revelations like these: Sea levels will rise about one foot over the next century, according to the UNs 2007 IPCC report -- the same rise that has occurred worldwide since 1860. A 20-foot rise, such as the one seen in An Inconvenient Truth, is hypothetical at best Global polar bear populations, contrary to environmentalists claims, are generally stable, and two populations around the Arctic Sea are actually growing. The most substantial drops in polar bear populations are a result of recreational hunting, not global warming The recent increase in impact from hurricanes and storms has nothing to do with global warming and everything to do with the rising concentrations of population and infrastructure in coastal areas. The data available today does not support unequivocal claims that global warming is worsening storms Though such global warming as may actually occur will mean more heat-related deaths -- about 40,000 more in the United States in 2050 -- there will also be 200,000 fewer cold deaths by then in the US. The Kyoto Protocol is both impossibly ambitious and environmentally inconsequential. It would cost $180 billion a year for the rest of the century but would only postpone global warming by five years in 2100.

Show 137 If Democrats Had Any Brains, Theyd Be Republicans by Ann Coulter audio excerpt . Audio MP3. Yes itâs an offensive title but there is a story behind it. Give it a try. It is full of her funniest lines. -Uttering lines that send liberals into paroxysms of rage, otherwise known as âciting facts,â is the spice of life. When I see the hot spittle flying from their mouths and the veins bulging and pulsing above their eyes, well, thatâs when I feel truly alive.-So begins If Democrats Had Any Brains, Theyd Be Republicans, Ann Coulters funniest, most devastating, and, yes, most outrageous book to date. Coulter has become the brightest star in the conservative firmament thanks to her razor-sharp reasoning and biting wit. Of course, practically any time she opens her mouth, liberal elites denounce Ann, insisting that -Sheâs gone too far!- and hopefully predicting that this time it will bring a crashing end to her career. Now you can read all the quotes that have so outraged her enemies and so delighted her legions of fans. More than just the definitive collection of Coulterisms, If Democrats Had Any Brains, Theyd Be Republicans includes dozens of brand-new commentaries written by Coulter and hundreds of never-before-published quotations. This is Ann at her best, covering every topic from A to Z. Here youâll read Coulterâs take on:â Her politics: âAs far as Iâm concerned, Iâm a middle-of-the-road moderate and the rest of you are crazy.ââ Hillary Clinton: âHillary wants to be the first woman president, which would also make her the first woman in a Clinton administration to sit behind the desk in the Oval Office instead of under it.â â The environment: âGod gave us the earth. We have dominion over the plants, the animals, the trees. God said, âEarth is yours. Take it. Rape it. Itâs yours.ââ â Religion: âItâs become increasingly difficult to distinguish the pronouncements of the Episcopal Church from the latest Madonna video.ââ Global warming: âThe temperature of the planet has increased about one degree Fahrenheit in the last century. So imagine a summer afternoon when itâs 63 degrees and the next thing you know itâs . . . 64 degrees. Ahhhh!!!! Run for your lives, everybody! Women and children first!â â Gun control: âMass murderers apparently canât read, since they are constantly shooting up âgun-free zones.âââ Bill Clinton: âBill Clintonâs library is the first one to ever feature an Adults Only section.ââ Illegal aliens: âI am the illegal alien of commentary. I will do the jokes that no one else will do.âIf Democrats Had Any Brains, Theyâd Be Republicans is a must-have for anyone who loves (or loves to hate) Ann Coulter.

Show135 Politically Incorrect Guide to Capitalism by Robert P. Murphy. Audio book disk 1 of 5.  The anti-capitalists are still with us, and how. Robert Murphy has decided to give them an in-your-face economics education that they wonât forget â ever.      His approach comes from years of teaching undergraduates and dealing with the most common errors. He also draws from his teaching experience at the Mises University to offer an Austrian perspective on economics.     He offers explanations and examples that are clear and compelling. Whats wrong with zoning? Murphy explains it. Isnt outsourcing destroying America? On the contrary says Murphy- it is a wonderful for Americans! Shouldnt the rich fork over in the name of social justice? Murphy says that this would make us all poorer.     Isnt the Fed protecting us against depressions and inflations? Precisely the opposite, he says: the Fed is causing economic instability.     In so many ways, this book is a product of the Mises Institute. Murphy learned his economics at the Mises University (while getting his PhD at New York University) and then began to teach at the Mises Institutes programs. He now serves as the headmaster of the Mises Institute online classroom.     This could be the most accessible and compelling introduction to free-market economics since Hazlitts Economics in One Lesson. Certainly economics has rarely been this fun! The socialists and Keynesian of the world will hate this book and make it a target of all their venom. But if they read it, they might learn something.     This book is sure to become a hot seller, and a major source of controversy on campuses. A previous book in this series landed on the New York Times bestseller list. How splendid to think that with this book, the Austrian perspective is receiving yet another boost in public life.

Take the quiz and find out!      Breezy, witty, but always clear, precise, and elegantly reasoned, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Capitalism is a solid and entertaining guide to free market economics written from the perspective of the Austrian School.     Murphy deploys all his abundant talents here, and to spectacular effect.

Show 129 Dennis Prager talks to Warren Farrell, former board member of NOW and best-selling author. His new book Does Feminism Discriminate against Men?: A Debate. Book description from publisher- Does feminism give a much-needed voice to women in a patriarchal world? Or is the world not really patriarchal? Has feminism begun to level the playing field in a world in which women are more often paid less at work and abused at home? Or are women paid equally for the same work and not abused more at home? Does feminism support equality in education and in the military, or does it discriminate against men by ignoring such issues as male-only draft registration and boys lagging behind in school? The only book of its kind, this volume offers a sharp, lively, and provocative debate on the impact of feminism on men. Warren Farrellâan international best-selling author and leader in both the early womenâs and current menâs movementsâpraises feminism for opening options for women but criticizes it for demonizing men, distorting data, and undervaluing the family. In response, James P. Sterbaâan acclaimed philosopher and ardent advocate of feminismâmaintains that the feminist movement gives a long-neglected voice to women in a male-dominated world and that men are not an oppressed gender in todayâs America. Their wide-ranging debate covers personal issues, from love, sex, dating, and rape to domestic violence, divorce, and child custody. Farrell and Sterba also look through their contrasting lenses at systemic issues, from the school system to the criminal justice system; from the media to the military; and from health care to the workplace.

Show 128 Politically Incorrect Guide to Hunting David Boze interviews author Frank Minter. Synopsis- Why the Leftâs anti-hunting propaganda is dead wrongNothing is more hated-and more misunderstood-by the trendy Left than hunting. But now intrepid hunter and pro-hunting activist Frank Miniter sets the record straight. In The Politically Incorrect Guideâ to Hunting, he details the concrete benefits that hunting provides to all of us-even how it helps the environment. Speaking with wildlife biologists, hunters, farmers, anti-hunters, and victims of animal attacks, Miniter explains how banning hunting negatively affects wildlife populations and conservation.Miniterâs fearless, politically incorrect take on hunting lays out the facts that liberal enviro-nuts donât want you to know, including: How a well-intentioned policy of âlive and let liveâ with Florida alligators resulted in human deaths Why youâre more likely to be attacked by a bear in an area where hunting is forbidden, such as a national park Why non-lethal alternatives to hunting donât work to control animal populations Why even vegetarians depend on hunting for their dinner (especially those who demand organic or locally grown food) How hunters are wildlifeâs best defenders-far more effective than big-budget âgreenâ groups How deer cause more human deaths each year than sharks, cougars, bears, and alligators combined Why hunting is statistically safer for kids than football, bicycling, and tennis If you love hunting, you need to arm yourself with The Politically Incorrect Guideâ to Hunting, so that the next time you encounter an anti-hunter, youâll be equipped to shoot down politically correct myths and defend this great American sport against all attacks. Biography Frank Miniter was a senior editor at Outdoor Life magazine and is currently the executive editor of American Hunter magazine.

Show 124 The Broken Hearth- Reversing the Moral Collapse of the American Family. Audio book excerpt disk 1. Bestselling author William Bennett addresses the central social issue of our timeâthe decline of the familyâin a book as intellectually provocative and politically controversial as his landmark The Death of Outrage.Our recent economic prosperity has masked the devastation of the American family, which is now under siege as never before. From the dramatic rise in illegitimacy, divorce, and single parenthood to the call for the recognition of gay marriages, the traditional nuclear family is being radically challenged and undermined, along with the moral and legal consensus that once supported it.Now in The Broken Hearth, William Bennett, Americaâs foremost conservative spokesperson on matters of family values, presents a strong, well-reasoned, and informed defense of the traditional family. Interweaving history, anthropology, law, social science, and the teachings of Western religions, he argues that marriage between a man and a woman and the creation of a permanent, loving, and nurturing environment for children is a great historical achievement, one that should not be lightly abandoned in favor of more âprogressiveâ arrangements. Bennett displays his ability to combine fearless conviction, acute insight, and respect for his adversaries in thorough, balanced, and enlightening discussions of single parenthood, cohabitation, gay marriage, and other trends that are undercutting the ideal of the family as the essential foundation of society.Looking closely at the concerns and questions that divide America, Bennett provides a powerful affirmation of family life and the values and benefits it bestows on individuals and on society as a whole. 76 minuets and 17MB.

Show 123 World War IV Medved interviews author Norman Podhoretz about his new book, World War IV The Long Struggle Against Islamofascism. From the publisher-  For almost half a centuryâas a magazine editor and as the author of numerous bestselling books and hundreds of articlesâNorman Podhoretz has helped drive the central political and intellectual debates in this country. Now, in this beautifully written and powerfully argued book, he takes on the most controversial issue of our timeâthe war against the global network of terrorists that attacked us on 9/11. In World War IV, Podhoretz makes the first serious effort to set 9/11 itself, the battles that have followed it in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the war of ideas that it has provoked at home into a broad historical context. Through a brilliant telling of this epic story, Podhoretz shows that the global war against Islamofascism is as vital and necessary as the two world wars and the cold war (âWorld War IIIâ) by which it was preceded. He also lays out a compelling case in defense of the Bush Doctrine, contending that its new military strategy of preemption and its new political strategy of democratization represent the only viable way to fight and win the special kind of war into which we were suddenly plunged. Different in certain respects though the Islamofascists are from their totalitarian predecessors, this new enemy is equally dedicated to the destruction of the freedoms for which America stands and by which it lives. But it took the blatant aggression of 9/11 to make most Americans realize that war had long since been declared on us and that the time had come to fight back. Past administrations, both Republican and Democratic, had failed to respond with appropriate force to attacks by Muslim terrorists on American citizens in various countries, and even the bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993 was treated as a criminal act rather than an act of war. All this changed after 9/11, when the whole country rallied around President Bushâs decision to bring the war to the enemyâs home ground in the Middle East. The successes and the setbacks that have followed are vividly portrayed by Podhoretz, who goes on to argue that, just as in the two great struggles against totalitarianism in the twentieth century, the key to victory in World War IV will be a willingness to endure occasional reverses without losing sight of what we are fighting against, what we are fighting for, and why we have to win.8.5MB and 37 minutes long.

Show 122 Dead Certain The Presidency of George W. Bush. Michael Medved interviews author Robert Draper. From the Publisher- In this ambitious work of political narrative, Robert Draper takes us inside the Bush White House and delivers an intimate portrait of a tumultuous decade and a beleaguered administration. Virtually every page of this book crackles with scenes, anecdotes, and dialogue that will surprise even long- time observers of George W. Bush. With unprecedented access to all the key figures of this administrationâfrom six one-on-one sessions with the president, to Laura Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleeza Rice, Karl Rove, and perhaps 200 other players, some well-known, some notâDraper has achieved what no other journalist or contemporary historian has done thus far: he has told the story of the Bush White House from the inside, with a special emphasis on how the very personality of this strong-willed president has affected the outcome of events. Bush loyalists and the growing number of Bush detractors will all find much to savor in this riveting political page-turner. We begin with a revealing lunch at the White House where a testy, hot dog-chomping president finally unburdens himself to the inquisitive reporter, a fellow Texan who well understands the manly argot that courses through this administration. We revisit the primaries of election-year 2000, in which the character of the candidate and indeed the future of the Republican Party were forged in the scalding South Carolina battle with Senator John McCain. We proceed forward to witness intimately the confusion and the eloquence that followed the September 11 attacks, then the feckless attempts to provide electricity to a darkened Baghdad, the high- and lowlights of the 2004 re-election bid, the startling and fruitless attempt to âspend capitalâ by overhauling the Social Security system, the inept response to Katrina, the downward spiraling and increasingly divisive war in Iraq. Though the headlines may be familiar, the details, the utterly inside account of how events transpired will come as fresh reportage to even the most devoted followers of mainstream media coverage. In this most press- wary of administrations, Robert Draper has accomplished a small miracle: He has knocked on all on the right doors, and thus become the first author to tell a personality-driven history of the Bush years. In so doing, he allows us to witness in complete granularity the personal force of a president determined to achieve big things, who remained an optimist in the face of a sometimes harsh unpopularity, who confronted the history of his time with what can surely be described as dead certainty. 37 minutes 8.6MB.

Show 118 Legacy of Ashes The History of the CIA. Hugh Hewitt interview author Tim Weiner.  Book Synopsis from the publisher- For the last sixty years, the CIA has managed to maintain a formidable reputation in spite of its terrible record, burying its blunders in top-secret archives. Its mission was to know the world. When it did not succeed, it set out to change the world. Its failures have handed us, in the words of President Eisenhower, âa legacy of ashes.âNow Pulitzer Prizeâwinning author Tim Weiner offers the first definitive history of the CIAâand everything is on the record. LEGACY OF ASHES is based on more than 50,000 documents, primarily from the archives of the CIA itself, and hundreds of interviews with CIA veterans, including ten Directors of Central Intelligence. It takes the CIA from its creation after World War II, through its battles in the cold war and the war on terror, to its near-collapse after 9/ll.Tim Weinerâs past work on the CIA and American intelligence was hailed as âimpressively reportedâ and âimmensely entertainingâ in The New York Times. The Wall Street Journal called it âtruly extraordinary . . . the best book ever written on a case of espionage.â Here is the hidden history of the CIA: why eleven presidents and three generations of CIA officers have been unable to understand the world; why nearly every CIA director has left the agency in worse shape than he found it; and how these failures have profoundly jeopardized our national security.

Show 117  The Language of God A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief By Francis S. Collins From Simon Schuster publishers- Dr. Francis Collins, head of the Human Genome Project, is one of the worldâs leading scientists. He works at the cutting edge of the study of DNA, the code of life. Yet he is also a man of unshakable faith in God and scripture. Dr. Collins believes that faith in God and faith in science can coexist within a person and be harmonious. In The Language of God he makes his case for God and for science. He has heard every argument against faith from scientists, and he can refute them. He has also heard the needless rejection of scientific truths by some people of faith, and he can counter that, too. He explains his own journey from atheism to faith, and then takes readers for a stunning tour of modern science to show that physics, chemistry, and biology can all fit together with belief in God and the Bible. The Language of God is essential reading for anyone who wonders about the deepest questions of faith: Why are we here? How did we get here? What does life mean?

This book is a must have and highly recommended by American Conservative University. Buy it from Newt.org Podcast rating is a 9 out of 10. 15MB and 69 min. Conservative book club review- While Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich spearheaded the Contract with Americaâwhich brought us the first tax cut in sixteen years, real welfare reform, balanced budgets, and a strengthened military. In his latest book, he details how (if we have the same persistence and courage that the Republican Revolutionaries showed in the 1990s) we can defeat secularism and liberalism and restore American values. What we need to do so, he says, is a new 21st Century Contract with America. In Winning the Future   A 21st Century Contract with America, Gingrich outlines five chief threats that could cripple our nation in the coming years: most notably Islamic terrorism, the devastating effects of the banishing of religion from public life, and ever-growing government. He speaks forthrightly about how two chief obstacles to meeting these threats effectively are an entrenched political system and a liberal news media that refuses to confront them seriously. These elites, says Gingrich, want a dramatically different world from the values and aspirations of most Americans. But Gingrich shows what must be done to meet each of these challengesâproviding, in the process, a comprehensive conservative program for the next decade. Gingrich explains how we can and why we must commit to a long war to defeat the terrorists who would destroy America; reestablish God in the public arena; insist on sane immigration policies and patriotic educational standards; harness modern science and technology to create jobs; allow for at least a partial privatization of Social Security; bring the Courts back under the Constitution; protect American interests within the world trading system; balance the Federal Budget, bring much-needed reform to Congress; ensure that local and national elections are scrupulously fair; and much more. He even includes a walking tour of Washington, D.C., that will decisively answer any questions you or your liberal friends might have about Americas indebtedness to and reliance upon the Creator from whom all our rights come. The threats to America that Gingrich outlines here are as daunting and difficult as any America has faced. But if we want to win the future, itâs time to do something about itâand Gingrichs 21st Century Contract with America is a magnificent place to start. Some of Dr. Gingrichs diagnoses and prescriptions: The much-maligned first Contract with America in 1994: actually a remarkable tool for political and governmental change How George W. Bush has outlined the only strategy that can make America secure Why the War on Terror is not primarily about terrorismâand must be fought not just militarily, but also culturally, politically, and economically Why the defeat of judicial supremacy and a return to a true balance of power between the legislative, executive, and judicial branches will be one of the most intense and difficult struggles of our lifetimeâyet absolutely unavoidable if we are going to retain our freedoms How, even after 9/11, our national security bureaucracies continue to operate within a peacetime modelâand why, despite spending billions of dollars on our national security, we are still unprepared for another terrorist attack Our present intelligence capabilities: at best, theyâre one-third the size we need The two immediate opponents we face in the War on Terror: and how the media establishment and intelligence service consistently misunderstand both Why Bush was right to recognize immediately that 9/11 was an act of war and not the scene of a crimeâand why Slick Willie was wrong to deal with terrorism as a criminal matter (even though cooperation with Interpol is indeed essential to our victory) Why we must contain rogue nations, as we contained the Communists, and everywhere possible back groups that can help us topple enemy regimes How the Left is dead wrong when it insists that we should rely on the UN and the World Courtas substitutes for American power and endurance   How the failure of our political analysis of Iraq led to the failure of our postwar policing there (for which we still lack adequate intelligence) -- and how we can secure a stable society there now How we can ensure that the U.S. has the best system to capitalize on new breakthroughs in militarily-applicable science and technology The propaganda war: why it is so crucial in Iraq, and Afghanistan, and the entire Islamic world How months of vicious attacks by opponents of Social Security reform still couldnât defeat any candidate who advocated it in the 2002 midterm elections Social Security: how the government will have to raise taxes, cut spending, or increase its deficits and borrow in order to make basic paymentsâsooner than we think How Social Security sharply reduces national savings and investmentâbecause workers assume that the Social Security system will pay for their retirement Why there is no attack on American culture more deadly and historically dishonest than the secular Leftâs unending war against God in Americaâs public life How any serious look at the Founding Fathers reveals how much they believed in freedom of religionâand how deeply they would have opposed government trying to create freedom from religion Why no healthy society can long survive the glorification of deviance that has become the norm in Americaâand how we can draw the line again between the America we are proud of and the America we should be ashamed of Immigration: why the problem is not the number or race of todayâs immigrants, but the breakdown of the will we need to control our borders and ensure that new immigrants learn to be American How we can end the teaching in public schools of politically correct, multicultural drivel that ignores or ridicules Americaâs great history Socialized medicine? No! How we need to transform our entire health care system based on an entirely new set of principles (plus twelve things we must do to build an intelligent health care system) Balancing the budget: why itâs not a choice, but a necessity How America can be made stronger by developing coherent technology and market-oriented solutions for environmental conservation and energy consumption

Show 111  SiCKO movie rebuttal. Socialized Medicine is Sicko By Stuart Browning. Michael Moores new documentary SiCKO unfavorably contrasts the U.S. health care system with government-run systems.

But in these three videos, Stuart Browning, a documentary filmmaker and a fellow at the Moving Picture Institute, presents an alternate view of U.S. health care â one that is not as optimistic about the Canadian system that Moore has embraced. See the videos at http://freemarketcure.com/ Video 1 Two Women (2007) Run Time: 4:32  Two Women serves as a cautionary lesson about a politicized health care system where politicians and bureaucrats determine medical priorities.

Show 108  33 Questions about American History Yorâre Not Supposed to Ask by Thomas E. Woods Jr. Revealed- The truths about Americanhistory that liberal academics have buried- because theyâre too politically incorrect to discuss. Leftist textbooks and professors say one thing, and real history says another: in reality, the Indians didnât save the Pilgrims from starvation by teaching them to grow corn. The âWild Westâ wasnât a freewheeling, lawless region - in fact it was more peaceful and a lot safer than most modern cities. Franklin Rooseveltâs New Deal didnât lift the United States out of the Great Depression. Foreign aid programs do not help our friends and allies break out of poverty. And the biggest scandal involving Bill Clinton did not have anything to do with an intern in a blue dress and vengeful Republicans. In fact, probably a great deal of what you were led to believe was true about American history is actually politically motivated myth, served up by Leftists to advance their agenda. The teaching of American history today is riddled with misrepresentations, misunderstandings, and flat-out lies about the people and events that have shaped the nation. But now Thomas E. Woods, Jr., the New York Times bestselling author of The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History, sets the record straight on key issues where most liberal histories present politically motivated pseudo-history as established fact, in 33 Questions About American History Youâre Not Supposed to Ask. Ranging from the Founding Fathers intentions in framing the Constitution to the real reasons why Bill Clintons presidency was such a disaster, Woods eye-opening tour of American history reveals just how thoroughly liberal historians have whitewashed the historical record, overlooking key events and skewing others beyond recognition in order to advance their political agenda for today. 37 min 8.5 MB

Show 105 Dennis Prager and Michael Medved interview Lee Harris author The Suicide of Reason Radical Islams Threat to the West.  From front book flap- Whether by choice or not, the West finds itself in a low-grade yet bitter war with Islamic fanaticism. It is a war the West is singularly ill-equipped to fight. The foe is resistant to any of the normal methods of resolution such as negotiation, economic sanctions, or conventional armed confrontation. To prevail, we must change our understanding of the conflict. The Suicide of Reason shows how modern liberal societies, whose political theories are born of the Enlightenment, are unfamiliar with the nature of mass fanaticism. The West, so accustomed to thinking of history as an inevitable progress toward enlightenment, can only think of fanaticism as a social pathology, a failure to modernize, rather than as what it is â a variety of social order that is not only fully viable in the modern world but that possesses weapons to which  the West is uniquely vulnerable. A governing philosophy based on reason, tolerance, consensus and deliberation cannot defend itself against a strategy of ruthless violence without being radically transformed- or worse, destroyed. Extraordinarily original and thought-provoking, The Suicide of Reason explains the logic of fanatical Islam, describes how the Enlightenment overcame fanatical thinking in the West, shows why most Western attempts to address the problem are doomed to fail and offers strategies by which liberal internationalism can defend itself without becoming a mirror of the tribal forces it is trying to defeat. 16.6MB  54 min long.

Show 103 The Truth about Muhammed the Worlds Most Intolerant Religion by Robert Spencer audio excerpt from disk 6. To purchase from Amazon click HERE. Great Audio book. A must have in your library. From Conservative book club- Straight from Muslim sources- the bloody life and violent teachings of Muhammad, the founder of Islam The Truth About Muhammad by Robert Spencer As American and European leaders continue to assure us that true Islam is peaceful, and formulate foreign and domestic policy on that basis, it is more important today than ever before for non-Muslims to know exactly what Islams founder, Muhammad, actually did and taught. Now, in The Truth About Muhammad  Founder of the Worldâs Most Intolerant Religion, Robert Spencer provides a frank and accurate picture of the Muhammad that Muslims around the world revere: a warlord who preached violence, ordered the assassinations of his enemies, and used his âdivine revelationsâ for his personal self-aggrandizement. Spencer, author of the bestselling Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades) and four other books on Islam and jihad, here works exclusively from the sources that Muslims themselves revere as most reliable for information about Muhammad. He explains why it matters so much today what Muhammad was like, and traces his tumultuous life in depth: from his first ârevelationâ from Allah (which filled him with terror that he was demon-possessed) to his deathbed (from which he called down curses upon Jews and Christians). Spencer details Muhammadâs development from a preacher of hellfire and damnation into a military leader who commanded his followers to carry out surprise raids on his opponents, and who promised his warriors luridly physical delights in Paradise if they were killed in his cause. He shows how Muhammadâs faulty knowledge of Judaism and Christianity has influenced Islamic theology, and colored Muslim relations with Jews and Christians to this day. Itâs all here: Muhammadâs multiple marriages (including one to a nine-year-old); his convenient ârevelationsâ justifying his own licentiousness; his joy in the brutal murders of his enemies; and above all, his clear marching orders to his followers to convert non-Muslims to Islam or force them to live as inferiors under Islamic rule. Spencer also shows how modern-day jihad terrorists frequently invoke Muhammadâs example to justify their bloodlust and exhort their followers to more violence. The true nature of Islam and the prospects for large-scale Islamic reform have important implications for host of issues - notably the prosecution of the war on terror; the democracy project in Iraq and Afghanistan; and immigration and border control. Thatâs what makes it crucial for policymakers and every citizen who loves freedom to read and ponder The Truth About Muhammad. Meet the real Muhammad: Muhammadâs bizarre reaction to his first ârevelationâ: âI will go to the top of the mountain and throw myself down that I may kill myselfâ The heretical Christian who convinced Muhammad he was a prophet - and may have taught him his erroneous views of Christianity Islamic borrowings from Judaism, Christianity, and Zoroastrianism - and Muhammadâs enraged replies to charges that he borrowed material rather than received actual divine revelations The ârevelationâ that allowed Muhammad to marry his beautiful daughter-in-law The strange incident in Muhammadâs life that makes it virtually impossible to prove rape in Islamic countries today The real âSatanic Versesâ incident (not the Salman Rushdie version): how Muhammadâs attempt to win over his opponents ended with his saying he had been inspired not by God, but by Satan How the Qurans teaching on warfare against unbelievers developed - with constant war to establish the hegemony of Islamic law as the last stage The first year of the Muslim calendar: not when Muhammad was born or became a prophet, but when he became a warlord How Muhammad used the graphic lure of Islamic Paradise to urge his warriors to fight furiously to extend his rule âKill every Jew who comes into your powerâ: why Muhammad became so angry with both Jews and Christians - with disastrous consequences that are still playing out in the world today The momentous command by Muhammad that led to good being identified with anything that benefited the Muslims, and evil with anything that harmed themâwithout reference to any larger moral standard Muhammadâs child bride - and the terrible consequences his marriage to a nine-year-old still has in the Islamic world âThis is the caravan of the Quraysh possessing wealth. It is likely that Allah may give it to you as bootyâ: how Muhammad gave divine sanction to the Muslimsâ bloody raids âWar is deceitâ: the permission Muhammad gave his followers to lie in order to gain an advantage over their enemies How Muhammad broke the principal treaty he entered into, again setting a pattern for Muslim states thereafter Muhammadâs commands to his followers to wage perpetual war against non-Muslims, including Jews and Christians Muhammad on womenâs rights   women âare prisoners with you having no control of their personsâ âIf justice is not to be found with me then where will you find it?â Why Muhammad still stands for Muslims as the supreme model for human behavior âI will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula, and will not leave any but Muslimsâ - and other statements by Muhammad that contemporary jihadists take very seriously Islamic tolerance? The onerous tax burden and other discriminatory regulations mandated for non-Muslims under Islamic law How Muhammad ordered the killing of apostates from Islam The massacre of a Jewish tribe by Muhammad that was invoked by modern-day jihadists at the beginning of Israels July 2006 operations against Hizballah in Lebanon âEmbrace Islam, and your lives and property will be safeâ: Muhammadâs threatening letters to the rulers of the lands around Arabia Muhammadâs frequent avowals that the Muslims would overcome the empires bordering on Arabia and one day stand as masters of the world âI have been made victorious with terrorâ - and other statements of Muhammad on his deathbed Six steps that American leaders can and must take in order to protect our nation from Islamic jihad terrorism

Show 98 The Forgotten Man by Amity Schlaes Audio Book excerpt Disk 1 From ACU- Understanding the Great Depression is vitally important. The very government programs and false assumptions that prolonged Americaâs suffering are still with us today in large measure. This is the truth that you never got in school.The book is a scholarly work, sometimes dry but builds a mounting case against the idiotic and counterproductive policies of Federal intervention. There is no comprehensive list of FDRâs failed policies and programs but spread throughout the 400 pages an indelible image emerges of heavy-handed bureaucracies restraining and hobbling a free market and a free people. Over all it is a fine historical work and the best Iâve seen on the subject of the Great Depression.  Podcast rating 5 out of 10. 74 min  16MB  

Show 97 Dennis Prager and Michael Medved talk to historian Stephen Mansfield.. His new book is Ten Tortured Words: How the Founding Fathers Tried to Protect Religion in America . . . and Whatâs Happened Since. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion. No other sentence has proven more important to America - or has been so dramatically wrenched from its original meaning and context. Today, the first sentence of the First Amendment is used to quash prayer at public events, chisel religious phrases from official buildings, intimidate pastors into keeping silent on political issues, and fire teachers for keeping Bibles on their desks. Now, in Ten Tortured Words: How the Founding Fathers Tried to Protect Religion in America and Whatâs Happened Since, Stephen Mansfield reveals how the First Amendment to the Constitution written to protect religion from a federal government only has been so manipulated by the Left that its use now contradicts the intention of the Founding Fathers.Ten Tortured Words combines extensive historical and legal research with interviews of contemporary thinkers and American voices. Youâll learn: How the First Amendment originally was not understood as a ban on religion in governmentâin fact, it didnât even apply to the states The true context of Thomas Jeffersonâs âwall of separation between church and stateâ metaphor - and how its misuse is contrary to Jeffersonâs own beliefs Why Washington, D.C, residents - including several presidentsâattended church services in the Capitol for much of the 19th century How the Everson v. Board of Education ruling refashioned American religious life into a secularist vision - and the KKK affiliation of the Supreme Court Justice who wrote this majority opinion The ACLUâs bullying techniques, profiteering through Establishment Clause litigation, how Hollywood funds these bogus cases The emerging âReligious Left,â and how religious worldviews will play a prominent role in the 2008 elections 12MB 55min.  podcast rating 6 out of 10.

Show 93 Audio interview with David Gelernter author of Americanism The fourth great western religion. Dennis Prager interviews him followed by Michael Medved. What does it mean to âbelieveâ in America? Why do we always speak of our country as having a mission or purpose that is higher than other nations? Modern liberals have invested a great deal in the notion that America was founded as a secular state, with religion relegated to the private sphere. David Gelernter argues that America is not secular at all, but a powerful religious ideaâindeed, a religion in its own right. Gelernter argues that what we have come to call âAmericanismâ is in fact a secular version of Zionism. Not the Zionism of the ancient Hebrews, but that of the Puritan founders who saw themselves as the new children of Israel, creating a new Jerusalem in a new world. Their faith-based ideals of liberty, equality, and democratic governance had a greater influence on the nationâs founders than the Enlightenment. Gelernter traces the development of the American religion from its roots in the Puritan Zionism of seventeenth-century New England to the idealistic fighting faith it has become, a militant creed dedicated to spreading freedom around the world. The central figures in this process were Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, and Woodrow Wilson, who presided over the secularization of the American Zionist idea into the form we now know as Americanism. If America is a religion, it is a religion without a god, and it is a global religion. People who believe in America live all over the world. Its adherents have included oppressed and freedom-loving peoples everywhereâfrom the patriots of the Greek and Hungarian revolutions to the martyred Chinese dissidents of Tiananmen Square. Gelernter also shows that anti-Americanism, particularly the virulent kind that is found today in Europe, is a reaction against this religious conception of America on the part of those who adhere to a rival religion of pacifism and appeasement. A startlingly original argument about the religious meaning of America and why it is lovedâand hatedâwith so much passion at home and abroad.

Show 92  Dennis Prager interviews the author of The Forgotten Man  A new history of the Great Depression by Amity Shlaes. From the book jacket- In The Forgotten Man, Amity Shlaes, one of the nationâs most respected economic commentators, offers a reinterpretation of the Great Depression. Shlaes also traces the mounting agony of the New Dealers themselves as they discovered their errors. She shows how both Presidents Hoover and Roosevelt failed to understand the prosperity of the 1920s and heaped massive burdens on the country that more than offset the benefit of New Deal programs. The real question about the Depression, she argues, is not whether Roosevelt ended it with World War II. It is why the Depression lasted so long. From 1929 to 1940, federal intervention helped to make the Depression great - in part by forgetting the men and women who sought to help one another.

This podcast covers the early years as a boy and young man.  Breakdown of a BIG Book: 5 Things You'll Learn from Mao: The Unknown Story1. Mao became a Communist at the age of 27 for purely pragmatic reasons: a job and income from the Russians.2. Far from organizing the Long March in 1934, Mao was nearly left behind by his colleagues who could not stand him and had tried to oust him several times. The aim of the March was to link up with Russia to get arms. The Reds survived the March because Chiang Kai-shek let them, in a secret horse-trade for his son and heir, whom Stalin was holding hostage in Russia.3. Mao grew opium on a large scale.4. After he conquered China, Mao's over-riding goal was to become a superpower and dominate the world: "Control the Earth," as he put it.5. Mao caused the greatest famine in history by exporting food to Russia to buy nuclear and arms industries: 38 million people were starved and slave-driven to death in 1958-61. Mao knew exactly what was happening, saying: "half of China may well have to die."Podcast rating 5 out of 10.  15MB 67min

Book DescriptionA critical biography of the iconic communist revolutionary, and an expose of the liberals who lionize him.Nearly four decades after his death, itâs impossible to avoid the image of Ernesto âCheâ Guevara everywhere from T-shirts to cartoons. Liberals consider Che a revolutionary martyr who gave his life to help the poor of Latin America. Time named him one of the one hundred most influential people of the last century. And a major Hollywood movie is about to lionize him to a new generation. The reality, as we learn from Cuban exile Humberto Fontova, is that Che wasnât really a gentle soul and a selfless hero. He was a violent Communist who thought nothing of firing a gun into the stomach of a woman six months pregnant whose only crime was that her family opposed him. And he was a hypocrite who lusted after material luxuries while cultivating his image as a man of the people. Fontova reveals that Che openly talked about his desire to use nuclear weapons against New York City. Such was Cheâs bloodthirsty hatred that Fontova considers him the godfather of modern terrorism. Exposing the Real Che Guevara is based on scores of interviews with survivors of Cheâs atrocities as well as the American CIA agent who interrogated Che just hours before the Bolivian government executed him. About the AuthorHumberto Fontova, who left Cuba in 1961 at age seven, has written for several conservative magazines and is the author of Fidel: Hollywoodâs Favorite Tyrant. He has appeared on many radio and television shows and is active in the Cuban American community.

But just as the environmental lobby think they've got our attention, a group of naysayers have emerged to slay the whole premise of global warming.
