                ``INTELLIGENT TALK'' IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

  (Mr. DREIER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DREIER. Mr. Speaker, I am happy to inform our colleagues that 
common sense has come to Washington, D.C., at least by way of the 
airwaves. WRC 1260 is now offering ``Intelligent Talk,'' which includes 
people like Bill Bennett, Michael Medved, Hugh Hewitt, Dennis Prager, 
and more.
  And we all know that with the 24-hour news cycle, bloggers, talk 
radio, satellite radio, Facebook, and YouTube, there's no shortage of 
commentary out there at all. But these hosts are consistently 
thoughtful voices for sound public policy. They have built large 
audiences and broad respect not by being the loudest or most 
outrageous, but by consistently offering reasoned sound analysis and 
positive center-right solutions.
  Some might think that ``Intelligent Talk'' in Washington, D.C., was 
an idea whose time would never come. Thanks to Bennett, Hewitt, Prager, 
Medved, and more, there is a little more common sense kicking around 
now in our Nation's Capital.
