Summary
The National League won the MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday. Both leagues now have the Designated Hitter. Traditions and standards are too easily dropped. This extends from baseball to church… Couples in the UK don’t want to give up two incomes and don’t want to have kids. Kids are too expensive and furthermore, they pollute the environment… Bret Stephens defends free speech. His NY Times readers don’t agree. Did you adopt a child? If so, how did it work out? Or were you adopted? Dennis poses these questions and gets some fascinating answers from callers. Dennis is joined by Julie Hartman… Megan Rapinoe, US soccer star and leftist activist, is all for transgenders competing in women’s sports. From this position alone, is it possible to predict where she stands on almost every other issue?... Is there more nuance on the left or the right?

| 0:41.6 | Does the National League now have the designated hitter? |
| 0:46.5 | Have they adopted it? Maybe that's the reason they got used to using that. |
| 0:52.8 | I mean it's just speculation. I don't like the idea the whole point of baseball |
| 0:59.2 | was that the pitcher who almost never knows how to hit was a Wednesday night was last night. |
| 1:10.3 | Okay you're driving me crazy but it was not intentional. |
| 1:19.2 | The whole point of baseball was that the manager and the team had to figure out a way |
| 1:25.4 | to decide do we keep the pitcher in or not since every player in baseball must bat as well as field |
| 1:33.9 | and then they knocked it out because they thought the fans want to see more home runs. |
| 1:40.0 | It was not love of baseball it was love of revenue that the major league |
