Stephen Meyer & Marvin Olasky

During the first half of the program, I will speak with the "2009 Daniel of the Year" recipient, Dr. Stephen Meyer.

After my discussion with Dr. Meyer, I will speak with Marvin Olasky about his book, The Tragedy of American Compassion.

William J. Bennett once called it "the most important book on welfare and social policy in a decade. Period." It influenced the Clinton Administration's welfare reform and deeply affected then-Governor George W. Bush's policies in Texas. But with the war on terror, the ideas in The Tragedy of American Compassion have taken a backseat.
