20110314 – 01 Disaster Japan
Prager H1: The earthquake on Friday in Japan is a tragedy of historic proportions on many levels... Dennis talks to William Tucker, author of Terrestrial Energy: How Nuclear Energy Will Lead the Green Revolution and End America's Energy Odyssey about the situation at Japan's damaged nuclear power plant. This is an old style nuke plant and it appears to have held under the worst possible conditions. Of course, the NY Times raises the worst case scenario as if it's imminent… A family – mother, father, two young children and a six-month-old infant -- was slaughtered in Israel, brutally stabbed to death by Palestinian terrorists. There is a tsunami of Jew-hatred in the Arab world…

20110314 – 02 Meltdown
Prager H2: The real meltdown regarding Japan’s nuclear plants is in the media. Dennis talks to Jack Spencer, energy expert for the Heritage Foundation, about the danger presented by a possible meltdown… Congressman Keith Ellison broke down in tears at the Peter King hearings last week as he told the story of a maligned Muslim who turned out to be a 9/11 hero. But was his reporting of the story accurate? One should draw exactly the opposite lesson from this story that Ellison does, i.e., America quickly self corrects and celebrates its heroes, no matter what their religion or background. But to do that would be to contradict the Left’s vision, Ellison's vision of this country.
