Another island analogy describing what will happen in America, Canada, and Europe, as more and more people go onto government payroll. 77% of women expect man to pay for date. Are they gold diggers? Are they free-loaders? Are they poor? Not at all. Their reasons are not financial. They are emotional and they are valid. We explore just why it is in the best interests of both the man and the woman for him to pay for dinner. And while we’re at it, don’t date him if he doesn’t have a job.

Why was Mrs. Lapin laughing at the Balzac quote about most husbands looking like Orangutans trying to play violins? We avoid building bridges that are destined to fail. We avoid constructing buildings that defy laws of gravity and will fall. Yet, large numbers of people set themselves up in living arrangements that will most likely result in trainwrecks. Do some “open marriages” survive? There may be one or two. Do most children do better living with their father and their mother married to one another? Yes, and what is more most men and women thrive better in marriage than they would in alternative living arrangements. People know better than to defy physical laws yet they often assume spiritual laws are less immutable. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

When you stick to the laws of engineering and physics you build bridges and buildings that stand strong and endure. When you stick to the laws of how the world REALLY works you build marriages that thrive happily and endure. We find the former easier to accept than the latter. Learn more about your ad choices.

China is buying one large American company after another. Hilton Hotels, GE Appliances, Waldorf Hotel, AMC Theaters, Motorola, Smithfield Foods, and hundreds & hundreds more. Progressive politicians say, “No problem! It’s all good.” Academics and media elites are all internationalists and globalists anyway, so they think it’s just fine. But what does your gut say? Is it really good when an American company moves production to China? There’s a reason the secular left is fine with man jobs leaving. And remember, nobody can make you do anything.

Whether it’s toothaches, cars, or countries, years of neglect and mismanagement take a toll. What is more, initial efforts at repair cause pain and are expensive in time and money. Not surprisingly, after 24 years of damage and decay America is selling itself to China. When last did you see something made in America? Does this matter? You bet it does. Let me explain why.

This show is about money and sex and how these two of mankind's most compelling urges reinforce one another and how they sublimate into marriage and commerce for the benefit of both individuals and society. A look at the TV sitcom of the 90s, Friends. How our relationships fall into 3 categories: Sexual (family); Non-Sexual (financial); and friends. The role objective obligation plays in relationships. What surprising behavior hurts your health to the equivalent of a pack a day of cigarettes and a large consumption of alcohol?

t’s an inconvenient truth for progressives that single people are seven times poorer than married people. America is now a two-caste system with marriage as the dividing line. In the high-income third of the population, children are raised by married parents; in the bottom-income third, children are raised by single parents. The main difference between the haves and the have-nots is that the haves tend to marry and give birth, in that order. The have-nots tend to have babies and remain unmarried. Marriage makes all the difference.American Alliance of Jews and Christianswww.RabbiDanielLapin.com Ancient Jewish Wisdom TV Show http://www.tct.tv/watch-tct/on-demand-ajw Podcast: https://soundcloud.com/rabbi-daniel-lapin-show Learn more about your ad choices.

Only Connect! Enhance every aspect of your life, Friendships, Finances, Faith, & Family by connecting more deeply with more people! Who helped me get my private pilot license? The power of patterns & learning the Morse Code in 15 minutes. We don’t write off people because they are imperfect or hold views we may despise. Each of us is a complex amalgam of good and bad. The good doesn’t get wiped out by the bad, neither does the bad get wiped out by the good. Samuel Morse was anti-Immigrant. He was also pro-slavery.

Sadly, it is far easier to think of something utterly destructive to do which will ruin your life than it is to come up with something that will transform your life for the better. But here is one thing that you can start doing right away which will bring more unforeseen benefits into your life than you can imagine: Connect more deeply with more people.

A woman has the right to tell a man who wants something from her, “No!” But a baker or photographer has no right to say “No!” to certain people who want something from them. Any pleasure that two or more consenting adults wish to take from one another’s bodies is perfectly acceptable. However, society gets very involved critiquing and sanctioning two consenting adults who choose certain economic transactions. Why is sex always fine whereas money is usually very not fine? We used to have free markets and sexual restraint. Today it is the reverse. How is that working out for you? Understanding the four revolutions that have shaped our world.

Prosecutors frequently build their reputations prosecuting business professionals and their companies. Often no wrongdoing is uncovered but by then it is too late. On college campuses women with morning-after regret frequently charge last night’s paramour with rape. Reputations ruined and careers destroyed. There is no presumption of innocence for business or for men in general. Our elitists, rulers and betters are waging war against the private sector institutions that create prosperity. They disparage men and masculinity though women do not climb up to repair refinery towers or dive down to cap underwater oil wells. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Don’t you sometimes feel you’re living through Alice in Wonderland? The things you once thought of as obviously true are no longer seen that way. Males can be females; making money equals taking money; profit is the same as plunder; America is an evil country but Sudan is good; and champions of cultures based on barbarism, superstition, tribalism and fanaticism lay guilt trips on Western civilization. What is going on? Communism/socialism/liberalism/progressivism are obliterating objectivity, that’s what’s going on. Reality is no longer what is evident to every eye, even those without advanced academic degrees. No, reality is now decreed by the high priests of media, academia, politics, entertainment and elitism. Where does that leave you? With your rabbi who reveals how the world REALLY works.

When people ask you to explain the difference between liberalism and conservatism, what do you say? If you start talking of size of government, taxation, etc., you sound wonkish and most people just tune you out. This week’s show offers a better solution. Liberalism loathes, detests, reviles and rejects objective reality. Women can be men and the other way around. Human nature? What’s that? Maternity leave for men? Why not? Government should bail out non-profitable companies if they make windmills. Climate change? Biggest problem facing our country. Nobody is ever complicit in their own misfortune especially blacks, homosexuals and Jews. A degree in Gender Studies is as valuable as one in Computer Science. If you reject how the world REALLY works, there is no limit to the idiocy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Would you refuse to date someone with poor credit? If you’re a single woman, the answer is likely to be yes. And you’d be right! If you’re a single man, surveys show you probably don’t much care. And you’d be right too. In this show I explain why. Susan Lapin joins me to discuss childlessness and I step into dangerous territory when I speculate on the success of Fifty Shades of Grey. The Mommy Wars and how childless female workers resent moms at work. Maternity leave for everyone, not just moms, of course. Stop calling your spouse ‘Mommy” or “Daddy”. How your job impacts your estrogen and testosterone levels and other rabbinic ruminations and ramblings. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Your 50 year-old male doctor has had, on average, nearly double the clinical experience than a female doctor of the same age. Most work 3 day weeks to men’s 5 or 6 day work weeks. Same goes for dentists and lawyers. Given that most professional competence is won not at school, but at work, explain why having a female cardiologist is a good idea? Just askin’.

Carbon Offsets is a silly scam that allows environmental sinners like Al Gore & and hypocrites like Leonardo DiCaprio to feel virtuous by paying others to do good. It’s a modern example of the Church selling indulgences back in the Middle Ages. So in that spirit, we now invite sinners who corrupt the land with concupiscence, adulterous affairs and marital betrayal to purchase infidelity offsets. I will arrange for part of your payment to go to support the good behavior of chaste and celibate people and to couples maintaining monogamous marriages. I explain the details along with the hows and whys of the extremist religion of environmentalism and climate change. How Earth Day really does celebrate Communism. Learn more about your ad choices.

Why did Senator Gaylord Nelson and his comrades pick April 22nd 1970, the 100th birthday of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin? Why were many speakers and supporters of the first Earth Day known communists? Why do so many positions of environmentalists and climate change fanatics hurt the economic and military interests of the United States? It’s all quite simple. Allow me to explain.

This past Tuesday night I was brought to a campus near San Francisco to deliver a lecture entitled “Making Money is Moral”. The program was put on by the outstanding Young America’s Foundation who own and run President Reagan’s ranch near Santa Barbara where they put on fantastic programs for school and college young people. I got about a third through the speech before the protestors got themselves sufficiently organized to begin their disruption. You know how it can be a little scary when you sense you are in the presence of huge forces over which you have no control? It’s how you feel when you find yourself in a massive crowd that is turning ugly. It’s how decent Germans felt in the five years from 1933-1938 as they watched the pillars of their culture collapse. Well, this podcast is about the speech and what Susan Lapin and I experienced this past Tuesday night on a university campus in California. Learn more about your ad choices.

If we were souls without bodies, we’d have no appetites. If we were bodies without souls we’d have no worries. But we have both so we may as well understand how these three appetites really work. Just think, if everybody could control them, no obesity, no illegitimacy, less crime, and a thriving economy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
