Erwin Chemerinsky Rehired as the Dean of the Law School at UCI
Larry Mantle talks with Professors Lisa Garcia Bedolla and Joseph DiMento of UC Irvine, and takes listener calls about the re-hiring of Erwin Chemerinsky.
Federal Sales Tax vs. Federal Income Tax
At least three Presidential candidates - Republicans Mike Huckabee, Ron Paul, and Mike Gravel - are in favor of replacing the federal income tax with a national sales tax. Larry weighs the economic and political pros and cons of implementing such a change with Ed McCaffery of USC and Caltech, and Republican political strategist and analyst Arnold Steinberg.
Hillary Clinton's Health Care Plan
Larry talks with E. Richard Brown of the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research and Joseph R. Antos of the American Enterprise Institute about Hillary Clinton's new health care plan.
Back to You
The intelligent sitcom has returned and it's brought with it two of the genres biggest stars. Back to You stars Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton as reunited local news co-anchors who have something more than work between them. The new series was created by television veterans Christopher Lloyd and Steve Levitan, who were behind the hits Frasier, Just Shoot Me, and Wings. Larry talks about the return of the smart sitcom with Emmy winners Lloyd and Levitan. Actor Fred Willard also joins the conversation to talk about his character on Back to You.
