This Week’s Topics:

–Conservative author and commentator SE Cupp joins us live to discuss her book Losing Our Religion: The Liberal Media’s Attack on Christianity, including her claims that the Tea Party got poor coverage on news networks, that most media are anti-Christian and liberally biased, and much more.

–GOP Chairman Michael Steele says that Afghanistan was a war of Barack Obama’s choosing, and we wonder how much longer Steele will last, whether we are seeing a rift in the Republican Party, and how on earth someone could think that Afghanistan is Obama’s war.

–Homophobic Tony Perkins of the Family Research Center is called in as a minority witness against Supreme Court nominee Elana Kagan, and we wonder why it is necessary for a man who stated that the only reason we would allow gays in the military would be if we wanted them to “do parades and stuff” to testify at a Supreme Court hearing.

–More of Tony Perkin’s past statements, and a discussion of whether there is a double standard when it comes to hateful testimony and homosexuality.

–Followup on the ICR creationism science degree story, including countless angry emails from the audience to producer Louis about his thoughts on theories, and an unbelievable clip from a BBC documentary on creationism at a school in Tennessee.

–Larry King will step down from his CNN program, and we go through some of his most awkward, bizarre, and hilarious moments during interviews, including clips related to Roman Polanski, Eric Massa, Lady Gaga, Usher, Jerry Seinfeld, the Beatles, Andre Agassi, and one of the funniest, Miss California Carrie Prejean.

–Might Sharron Angle be the most dangerous political candidate in 2010? We talk about it, and her comments that abortions should not take place in any cases, even when rape and incest are involved, since rape and incest are God’s plan.

–If you were hoping to get one of the fully-electric Chevrolet Volt’s that are coming out soon, don’t hold your breath, since only 10,000 will be produced in the first year.

–New stations in Phoenix and Massachusetts, and a new poll about creationism degrees.

–Emails about our recent interview with Rabbi David Nesenoff, who filmed Helen Thomas making the controversial comments about Israel.
