- The Glenn and Helen Show: Kathleen Parker on Why Men Matter
- They used to say that it was a man's world, but you don't hear that much any more. Women outnumber men in college, get preferential legal treatment in many areas, and in general seem to be doing better, while boys lag girls in education and men generally seem to be doing worse. Should anyone care?
Yes, says Kathleen Parker in her new book, Save the Males: Why Men Matter Why Women Should Care. We talk with her about what's going on, why the condition of men matters to women, and why many men are afraid to speak out. Plus, Barack Obama on fatherhood. - The Glenn and Helen Show: Doug Feith on War and Decision
- Douglas J. Feith served as Undersecretary of Defense for Policy from 2001 through 2005. His new book, War and Decision: Inside the Pentagon at the Dawn of the War on Terrorism, looks at the response to the 9/11 attacks, the invasion of Afghanistan, and most significantly the Iraq war and its aftermath. Feith's book is copiously documented, and he's also made a lot of his documents available on his website. But the book, though selling well online, hasn't gotten the kind of Big Media attention you'd expect. We talk to him about the war, the Bush Administration, the media, and whether the American political class is up to dealing with matters of national security.
Show archives are at GlennandHelenShow.com. Music is by Mobius Dick. - The Glenn & Helen Show: Robert Kagan on the Return of History
- In the 1990s, people talked about the "end of history," when international power politics wouldn't really matter. In his new book, The Return of History and the End of Dreams, Robert Kagan talks about democracy, autocracy, and the return of Great Power politics to international relations.
- The Glenn and Helen Show: Fred Thompson on John McCain and Judges
- With Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama still slugging it out in the Democratic primaries, John McCain has already cleared the way to the Republican nomination. He's spending his time laying out his positions for the general election, and one of the most important issues has to do with judicial nominations. We were lucky enough to catch up with McCain's friend Fred Thompson, who talked with us about McCain's positions, the current and possible future states of the federal judiciary, and whether there's a place for an Attorney General Fred Thompson in a McCain administration. ("No Ma'am" he responded, when Helen asked.)
- The Glenn and Helen Show: Cass Sunstein on Libertarian Paternalism
- Cass Sunstein is the Karl Llewellyn Professor of Jurisprudence at the University of Chicago, and the coauthor, with Chicago colleague Richard Thaler, of Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness.
Sunstein and Thaler espouse a theory of "Libertarian Paternalism," in which people have more choice than they do now, but in which ignorance and sloth are exploited to encourage them to make good choices even when they're lazy. We talk about libertarian paternalism, the virtues and vices of technocracy, and which Presidential candidates favor Sunstein and Thaler's approach.
