Rabbi Daniel Lapin

Pork is forbidden to Jews yet it is just as healthy as beef. So why are pigs, and other delicious dishes like crabs, lobsters, rabbits and snails prohibited to the people of Israel? What does this have to do with self-destructive sexual promiscuity? How does not eating pork help you make better financial decisions? Can people of every religious background and no religious background also benefit from these timeless truths? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Would you like to know exactly what the Sabbath (Shabbat) is like in Chez Lapin? For the first time, I grant you, oh privileged listener, a glimpse into how the turbulent maelstrom that we call “normal” in the Lapin household, transitions into tranquility as the sun sets on Friday. But wait! There’s more: Is women’s marital satisfaction really linked to their man’s muscle and his money? Do men secretly dream of rescuing damsels in distress? Well, we do definitely dream of being needed; really, really needed—and admired. And this is all linked to Britain leaving the European Union, how? Let’s just dive right into it now, okay?

Learn to prophecy and see the future. It seems as if it’s all over, but is it really? Money is losing its value. Law enforcement sometimes appears to be committing more violence than it is preventing. Vulgarity rules entertainment. Polls show nobody trusts our government. Is it time to stock up on food and ammunition? Master the principles for recognizing impending socialistic tyranny and defending your family from its consequences. Learn more about your ad choices.

Rabbi Lapin Short Clip - Socialism Asks To Be Judged On It's Intentions & Rhetoric by TheBlaze Radio Network Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It’s early 2016. A socialist and a billionaire are polarizing America. One, driving in a beat-up car and dressed in what appear to be Goodwill Industries cast-offs, loathes banks and business with authentic earnestness. The other travels by private jet or helicopter and seldom misses an opportunity to express how good he feels about having made much money. Regardless of whether you find them charming or repulsive, they are opposites. Regardless of who ends up a nominee, each of us must decide whether making money is a cause for feelings of guilt or pride. And how we decide has consequences in our own lives. In this speech, I provide some guidance. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In the Lapin household, every day is Valentine’s Day and that is how it ought to be. Setting aside only one day out of 365 to recognize and appreciate the most important person in your life ends up harming the relationship. And why do stores sell cushions and balloons shaped like hearts? Why not make the bodily organ symbolizing love the kidneys, the brain, the elbow or even the genitals? How did everyone decide on the heart? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What! How dare you? No poor people in America? Are you stark, staring bonkers? Not only do you lack all compassion, but you are you a strange excuse for a rabbi. Doesn’t your faith command you to care for the poor? How dare you deny their existence! You’re such an ignoramus, you don’t you even know that over 30 million Americans live below the poverty line. I suppose you think it’s their fault. That’s called blaming the victim you heartless human being. You probably don’t even know that inequality is America’s biggest problem after climate change. Are you trying to say that poverty is not a problem for American blacks? That’s it! I’m turning off and never listening to you again. (I thought I’d save you the trouble of writing all the above to me-there! It’s all written already. Just copy and paste) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

When do you start actively raising a child? 1 year-old? Birth? Conception? You’re getting close! Sex is not for making babies, it’s for making connection. A baby is an occasional happy outcome of its parents’ Godly-ordained passion for one another. Marriage’s purpose is not reproduction, it’s really the other way around. Should mom’s priority be baby or hubby? How about hubby’s priority? You’ll never guess. Why does reproduction require such a lengthy and somewhat messy process? Learn more about your ad choices.

About 400 attendees in Chicago this past week, each invested $69 to attend a speech about whether making money is a moral and dignified activity for good and decent people to pursue. A key theme in my presentation is the explanation of why growing numbers of Americans believe the answer is a resounding “No!” Even more significant is the antidote. It was a high-energy, fun and uplifting evening and I felt this to be an important enough topic to share with you even though the audio quality is not quite as high as we here at The Blaze like it to be.

The spiritual significance of professional wrestling and Steven Spielberg’s 1982 movie, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. What conspicuous zippers on women’s clothing is really saying—to men! Women are interchangeable with men on nuclear submarines and in desert combat. So, why not on the golf course and tennis court? Could it be because America take sports more seriously than the military? What true thing did Hitler, Churchill and Mark Twain say about Jews? Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s not a coincidence that the freeway overpass collapsed, a broken gas main ignited and a ruptured water main became a geyser. It was the earthquake you slept through. Similarly, we all slept through a gigantic cultural earthquake back 1955—1965. What this colossal cultural upheaval was and how it indoctrinated America to short term thinking. Today’s pleasure is much more compelling than tomorrow’s inevitable pain. Once we recognize the enemy that brought a once-great nation to its knees, we can defeat it and rise again.

America is suffering from a serious disease. It’s true; in every generation people grumble about how the whole country has ‘Gone to hell in a hand-basket’ and about ‘How much better everything was twenty years ago.’ And they were often right. But now is different. Now by every important measurable indicator that I describe things are worse than ever before. But this is good news; for 2 reasons: (i) When you know the problem, you’re half way to its solution. (ii) It’s not five different causes inflicting all the pain; It’s one single underlying cause and all the different problems are just different symptoms of the same disease.

Can America come back from the precipice? Has any nation as far in decline as ours ever come back? Ancient Israel and its similarities to modern America. Marriage makes the woman; a child makes the man. Fixing foreign policy. Improving the economy. Eliminate paralyzing rules of engagement, increase funding and make the military strong again. Terminate Dept. of Education, teachers’ unions and all entitlement programs. Close the borders to all immigrants for at least 10 years. Replace bad slogans like “Income Inequality” with good ones like “No man is entitled to any other man’s money.” None of the above is as revolutionary as was Obamacare. It’s all doable.

Why the president and his lackeys say ISIL while everyone else says ISIS. How this administration sends secret messages to the Arab street. How and why our international airports, once symbols of America’s economic prestige and technical prowess, have become 3rd world bus stations. What twisted morality decrees that doctors must treat the terrorist before they treat his victims? Remember equal pay for equal work? Well now it is equal pay for unequal work. I love women but I can’t afford to hire someone whose priority is her kids and pay her the same as I pay the guy whose priority is his job.

Heaven knows there’s much to worry about. China. Isis. Russia. The Supreme Court. The National Debt-$20 Trillion and growing. Being governed, regulated, and tormented by unelected bureaucratic agencies. One third of all Americans not working-How they eating? By the sweat of your brow. The Veterans Administration. The TSA. The IRS. Growing governmental arrogance. The elections. Women on submarines and in combat. Trump might win. Trump might not win. Like I said, much to worry about.

Why both new marriages and new businesses fail at approximately the same rate. What does water skiing have to do with marriage? Your radio rabbi’s radio-building youth—remember Crystol Sets? Why the rabbi and his wife, Susan, are so utterly different from one another. Why do you think our uniqueness as individual humans is imprinted upon our fingertips? Could it have anything to do with fingers being a symbol of human creativity? The most persuasive reason for why same-sex marriage is not as beneficial as normal marriage.

Why in these days of easy hook-ups does prostitution still flourish? Learn to draw reliable, evidence-based conclusions rather than having your emotional advocacy overwhelm your analysis. Why did actor Hugh Grant lose model Elizabeth Hurley in favor of a $50 prostitute in 1995. Why did N.Y. Governor Elliot Spitzer lose his marriage and career in 2008 by becoming client #9 for Madam Ashley in room 851 of Washington DC’s Mayflower Hotel? Why so many surviving firemen of the NYFD divorced their wives after 9-11. What is your priority; kids or husband? Platonic friendships? Yeah, right!
