Rabbi Daniel Lapin

“…In the rich man’s world.” So sang ABBA and so another generation of young music lovers was corrupted. Obviously that rich man took it from all those who are now poor as a result. By misleading an entire generation into believing that the world is all physical/material, money is transformed into something evil with which only government can be trusted. Instead of a vehicle for individual independence, money (Just like guns) is bad for ordinary private citizens to own. Presenting a prescription of hope for the future.

Like pirates buying their way back into polite society by building a church, today anyone who has made a few dollars is expected to purchase penitence by ‘giving back to society’ regardless of what this says the donor was doing to society while making his money in the first place.

I just saw Niagara Falls for the first time! I felt like remaining there for hours absorbing the overwhelming might of the sight. But not yielding to what I felt like but doing what I needed to do (record this show) was the right thing to do. We all make the mistake of believing that our feelings are all important and also all powerful. Marriages end because “I no longer feel anything for her”. Affairs begin because “I feel so wonderful when I’m with her”. Businesses fail when one person explodes in anger against his partner. Anger is another feeling. How about worry and stress? More feelings you need to learn to control. Fortunately in this show I make accessible ancient Jewish wisdom’s timeless and true technique for controlling feelings rather than having them control us.

Isn’t success in life more likely when we do exactly what we should do when we should do it? What interferes with this winning formula? Simple—our feelings and moods. Why didn’t you make that sales call/exercise/call your mother/deliver that order??? Answer: Because you didn’t feel like it. What if ancient Jewish wisdom can make you less susceptible to your feelings? Well, it can! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How to circumnavigate the Eastern United States-as if you cared! But wait! This small boat journey would use one of America’s greatest achievements—The Erie Canal. The similarity between the Jewish Star, the “Magen David”-the shield of David and the swastika. The spiritual significance of David’s six pointed Star. Why the New York State Thruway and Amtrak from Eastern New York to Buffalo follows the path of the Erie Canal. This 363 mile canal built in only 8 years (1817-1825) included 83 locks. What is a lock? Today, could you get an environmental impact study done in only 8 years? It was built by men! That’s right, there didn’t appear to be any women uprooting huge tree stumps, dragging dirt out of the ditch or laying colossal stone blocks to build locks. Why is it America’s business that Assad is killing Syrians. As a human, I am sad about it, but why is it our government’s responsibility to fix. Why didn’t Truman impose a ‘Red Line’ on Stalin’s brutal murders of millions of Russians. Why didn’t Eisenh

Like Germany’s Mrs. Merkel, who felt more compassion for a million Muslim men than for 80 million Germans, our government seems to feel more concern about Syrians than about Americans. Why do so many believe that American blood and money must be expended on a futile quest? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The one big money question to ask your kids. So, because I’m not female, I am not allowed to talk about the deepest desires of women? I am not, thank God, poor so I am prohibited from addressing problems of poverty? And my skin color censors what I might say about race in America? Really? The Left combats ideas by disqualifying the messenger. A dangerously high proportion of our population has been infected by the virus of materialism which makes its victims see things weirdly. This contagious disease of materialism mocks marriage, exalts skin color and reveres gender. But America wasn’t like this in 1956. I describe one of the biggest movies in history. Why Materialists love race-based college admissions and hate financial education. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What madness infects the brains of those who think that skin color tells you more about people than their beliefs and values? What bizarre disorder makes it easy for men to become women but impossible for homosexuals to become normal? What mysterious malady contaminates the minds of those who oppose the death penalty for sadistic serial murderers but are sanguine about snuffing out the life of a near-term baby? It’s Secular Socialism-some call it progressivism. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Food tastes better to men when served by a woman they desire. Women suffer depression at twice the rate of men. Really? Perhaps men just don’t share their pain. Is male depression underreported? Besides, I’ll tell you how men deal with it. Which story is more realistic, “Cinderella” or its opposite, “The Princess and the Peasant”? Many women freeze their eggs. Would men if they could? Men who fail to confront their masculinity become thugs or wimps. Masculine good men make women very happy just as feminine women make men very happy. The difference is that women don’t admit it. Women have been indoctrinated to denigrate masculinity and become miserable. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle, said Irina and Gloria. Funny words but fatally flawed. Turns out women do need men, just as men need women. What sort of men do women need? Strong masculine men. What sort of women do men need? Strong feminine women. Why do they need each other? In order to be happy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

If our worst enemies had established a conspiracy in 1962 to harm America’s power and influence by 2016 could they have come up with a better plan than what has played out? Once the world’s finest K-12 educational system now a ridiculous caricature of education that is more of a teachers retirement and benefits program. Happy 4th of July Parades now replaced by homosexual pride displays of public behavior that animals wouldn’t engage in. Vast, unaccountable bureaucracies reducing once free Americans into serfs. Once great universities reduced to kindergartens for oversized babies. A powerful economy turned into a basket case. How could there not have been a conspiratorial plan? The only part they didn’t plan on was Trump winning in 2016. Let’s take a good look at the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Rabbi Lapin talks about the speed that America has descended into socialism; it's like breaking a dam. "Can you believe that Hollywood , once upon a time, was profoundly patriotic? And you think back in, I'm saying 1957, Hollywood was still patriotic in the aftermath of World War 2, but what happened? What happened in the last 60 years?" He's asking what happened to this country. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

There are poor upper class people and rich low class people. Contrary to Marx, “Class” has nothing to do with money or skin color. It’s a mindset and a way of life. People headed for the upper class do not go on welfare. If human life is only material and not spiritual, then welfare would make sense. Since we are spiritual beings, instead of raising people to upper class, welfare imprisons them in lower class. Lower class people live in and only for the present. With no vision of past or future, lower class lives for entertainment, sex, violence and debt. Low class politicians worry about climate and sugary drinks rather than water supply and crime. Upper class people are more inspired by past and future than by present. They relate to reality. They can postpone gratification and build up lives, families and wealth. A country needs majority of its population to be upper class for survival. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Rabbi Daniel Lapin talks about time and its role. Everyone, even animals, live in the present. "The more present focused you are, the more tolerant you are of debt, because the bill only comes due sometime in the future. And as you become more somebody capable only of relating to the present, not the future. You literally don't feel the imperative of what's coming down the road in the future."

The Rabbi talks about how the culture is creating stronger and more independent women. He goes on to explain on how we are seeing a rise in financially independent women is great, but they are also looking for a successful marriage as well, plus the types of men that they are looking for.

This show is all about these five big questions: Am I making excuses for this famous politician’s son who left his wife and took up with his older brother’s widow? Aren’t strong and independent women the ideal we all aim for? How could women whose firemen husbands survived 9-11 also have become victims of that terrible Tuesday? Does the Bible really say sleeping with one’s sister is disgraceful? What if any lessons does all this teach us about our own marriages today? Learn more about your ad choices.

Not all fights are fair. Why liberalism/leftism otherwise known as the religion of secular fundamentalism has the advantage. Does this mean that Judeo-Christian Biblical-based civilization will ultimately lose? One side says, “Vote for us and we’ll give you lots of stuff. And we’ll remove all the rules, restrictions, rituals and restraints that maintain society’s repressive institutions.” The other side can only say, “Vote for us, we’ll get out of your way and you can make of your life what you will.” Why companies making electric cars are reckless investments. Why you should trust yourself rather than experts and studies. How Secular Fundamentalism came to dominate America and why it rejects reality. Learn more about your ad choices.

Rabbi Lapin shows how political correctness is like landing on an island without civilization and the local people take you cautiously into the tribe. They find you odd when you do things that are normal but are not normal to them and arguing with the local witch doctor about the customs. Learn more about your ad choices.

Oroville Dam will not burst, but its spillway might collapse. Why wasn’t it built right in the first place? Why hasn’t it been maintained? Can governments really suffer from moral failings? Using water to cut metal gives us an idea of its power. Is maintaining your possessions a religious duty incumbent upon all Jews and Christians? Is it ‘wrong’ to acquire ‘stuff’?

The rabbi talks about why you should never use the weather for political gain and what is happening at the Oroville Dam in California and how the "experts" were wrong when they said it will never reach the emergency spill zone.
