Rabbi Daniel Lapin

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. And he painted beautiful pictures and changed the world with his invention. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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. And I do not mean on Facebook!! Finding new friends and nurturing old ones is good for your health, for your family life and for your finances. Sounds easy but like baking, bookkeeping and ballet, it helps to know just how to do it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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

“…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
