Rabbi Daniel Lapin (Blaze Podcast Network)

Do you know the really unpopular message of Chanuka? That's right, it has something to do with burning oil. Why the Fossil Fuel vision seems to drag along a vision of shortage, limits, and ultimately poverty. Predictions of running out of coal and oil go back to the 19th century and they've all been wrong. Why do they keep making them? It's almost as if they WANT to run out of energy. What's going on? Is it time for you to start making only wise decisions in the important areas of your life? If so, read this  https://a.co/d/cX2lpPq Do you want your spiritual schematic to be about abundance or shortage? There are real life consequences to how you answer that question.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Happy Warriors are not tennis balls floating down the gutter of life. We embrace the struggle and we renounce relaxation. And, above all, we make ourselves happy. Always. Your rabbi explains why you can learn tennis or race car driving and cooking or statistics regardless of your financial status or your friendships. Can you really be a respected philosopher and, at the same time, a repugnant individual? Why it matters that, of the 20 greatest philosophers of history, 15 of them never raised children. Can you be a spreadsheet wizard and a crook, or a highly paid family and marriage counselor and a loathsome spouse? Realize that your identity is based, not on what you know, but on who you are, and who you are depends on your beliefs and values. The 3 areas in which you involuntarily reveal what sort of person you really are. Want to learn celestial navigation or how to make a quilt? Easy. Your teacher won’t ask you any questions about your life. But if you want help in one of these: Finances, Friendships, Faith, Family or Fitness, a good teacher will want to know much about your status in the other four. Your rabbi explains just why that is and how it works, and in this episode, there is no massaging you with warm butter. Only the truth. The timeless truths of ancient Jewish wisdom.

It’s been hilarious watching the ostentatious displays of pretend virtue by celebrities tumbling over one another to condemn one of their own.  The truth is that it takes no bravery and no courage to waddle up and stick a knife into the bleeding body of a harpooned whale lying helplessly on the beach.  Why now?  Why didn’t all those who’ve known for years condemn Weinstein back then?  Why didn’t a Paltrow or a Jolie use an Oscar speech to denounce their tormentor?  What was brother Bob’s role and why?  Weinstein et all are predictable products of the 1960s.  All explained in this week’s Rabbi Daniel Lapin Show.

Your spouse asks you to stop doing something. Your boss at work asks you to start doing something. You kid asks you why you’re doing something. Wouldn’t it be great to come back with the right answer every time? The answer that, a day later you still admire rather than the answer you think of a day later and wish you’d given. How do you react wisely off the cuff? By arming yourself with the right basic beliefs. But when you start off with a wrong basic belief you end up making bad intuitive decisions in all the many daily circumstance. Your rabbi equips you with an invaluable tool.

A guard at the notorious San Quentin Penitentiary near San Francisco takes issue with my overly broad characterization last week. Another California corrections officer comments on my preference for fines, flogging and execution over incarceration. A Colombian family writes from Singapore, to where they moved from Malaysia, telling of how they overcame dark times and broke through to prosperity. Then, it's on to the true story of how Bernie and Arthur got fired from a small hardware store in 1978 and started Home Depot. Wasn’t that a great response to losing a job? Also, how 120 million Greeks, Italians, Spaniards, and Portuguese are enjoying their siestas and retirements on the work of 80 million Germans. And that is not to mention the 1.5 million Muslim immigrants they’re also supporting. If you’re trying to start a business or grow one, you have to think outside the box. You must escape the confinement of the conventional. But if you leap too far out of the box, if you’re too unconventional, you might be stepping over the legal line. Yet, if all you do is repeat what others before you have done, your business will fail. What’s one to do? Happily, there is an answer that pops out of one little verse in Deuteronomy and which Jews have used for generations to achieve financial abundance. Now, you can too.

We’re all attracted to self-improvement. In some way, right? We want to improve our bank accounts; we want to improve our health by losing weight; we want to improve our conversational ability, our memories, our knowledge, our appearance, and much more. We love self-improvement. But we don’t always know that inner improvement is the gateway to all other improvement. It is a bit like wanting to bring in a gardener, a landscaper, and a tree specialist to improve our yard but keeping the gate locked so none of the workers can enter. Opening the portal to self-improvement is what Mussar is all about and my guest on this show, Ruchi Korval is a specialist in the ancient Jewish practice of Mussar. This is her book  https://rabbidaniellapin.com/product/soul-construction/ Happy Warriors will like her take on Barbie the movie.

Hear one of our youngest Happy Warriors say, “How the world rrrrrreally works”. The same clowns who gave us destructive lockdowns and meaningless mask mandates spent $300 million per day! The one mistaken conviction that made American politicians and bureaucrats believe they could convert Afghanistan into Vermont. Almost no American diplomats have ever known a religious friend. Why you need a job with the International Monetary Fund. If you are thinking of marrying someone and all you know is that they have earned an advanced academic degree, run for your life. If you know their beliefs and values you have valuable information.

Borrowing money in a time of rampant inflation. Does this offend you? Men are generally measured by what they do whereas women are generally measured by what they are. Happy Warriors are not tennis balls floating down the gutter of life.

What is the difference between information and wisdom? Are wise people always good people? Are educated people always good? Do brutal thugs perpetrating acts of hideous cruelty have a choice? Did they really decide to kill, maim and torture or are they the inevitable results of their backgrounds? These are some of the questions we explore together in this show because, as always, I want you to be as equipped as possible to develop and grow your 5Fs, your Finances, Family, Friendships, Faith, and Fitness. What does intelligence have to do with all of this? Do you know what the ghost of our times is? Make sure you have the necessary tools for getting out of your Egypt, whatever it is.

Welcome Happy Warriors. Africa’s fertility rate, children per woman, is 4.5. Israel is 3.1. America is 1.6. China is 1.3. Less than 2.1 means shrinking population and resulting shrinking economy. In an attempt to solve this problem, China has just upgraded rules from 2 to 3 children per family. China is already short about 50 million women as a result of the one-child-per-family policy. Yes, if they are having only one child, most couples would like it to be a boy. About 50 million Chinese men will never find brides in China. This is not good news. The consequence of diminishing population is declining economy. Some countries decided to solve the shrinkage problem by importing single, young Muslim men from the Middle East and North Africa. How’s that working out for you France, Germany, and Sweden? Your rabbi explains why that strategy is failing so dismally. Forget climate change—our future is really threatened by plummeting sperm counts of American men. Your rabbi explains what has been causing the declining ability of US men to father a child. While we’re at it, we also discuss the connection between women having fewer babies and their voices becoming more masculine. Hundreds of incarcerated California men moved into women’s prisons in 2021. (They claim to identify as women.) Almost no women want to move to men’s prisons. Who’d have thought it? The clue to all this is in Scrolling Thru Scripture 'https://www.wehappywarriors.com/scrolling-through-scripture-unit1' . This is the way to make sure that Happy Warriors never deteriorate into tennis balls floating down the gutter of life.

Anxiety and depression resulting from overwhelming but subconscious awareness of death. Do you see too many death-related films? Is your emotional equilibrium harmed by over exposure to a death culture? Is your spiritual stability more fragile than it should be on account of a death culture around you? Oversimplifying the school shooting in Uvalde Texas or the one in Columbine, Colorado in April 1999. When people insist that there is one, and only one reason for a complex situation, they are dishonestly promoting an agenda. Did the police really stand around doing nothing for an hour while the killing inside continued? The same number of victims who were shot to death in Uvalde are murdered every 14 days in Chicago. And many more are shot with intent to kill but miraculous emergency room physicians keep them alive. Why no outrage? Are younger victims somehow more tragic? What about the youngest of all--babies killed in utero? Dealing with death. The ways in which the emotional and mental damage from death obsession resembles radiation poisoning from radio active sources. Three practical strategies for dealing with the baleful impact of living in a culture of death and restoring joy to your life.

Ayn Rand wasn’t right on everything but she is on these 2 ideas:  “A man's sexual choice is the result and the sum of his fundamental convictions . Show me the woman he sleeps with and I will tell you his valuation of himself.”  And this one, “...money demands of you the highest virtues…men who have no courage, pride or self-esteem…who have no moral sense of their right to their money…men who apologize for being rich…”   If you could teach your children only two things, teach them how money works and how male/female relationships work.

I was wrong last week. The 737 MAX should have been promptly grounded on March 11th, 2019. Was history being written in the Ethiopian desert and off the coast of Indonesia? Sometimes history is written in just a few days. Are we witnessing the opening moves of America’s slide from #1 to #2 in commercial aviation? Why would the U.S. Justice Department launch an almost unprecedented criminal investigation of Boeing? The crashes of Lion Flight 610 and Ethiopian Flight 302 tragically killed 346 people. Could subsequent events prove even more costly? Were they really accidents or were they completely avoidable consequences of corrupt collaboration between corporate interests and government. Should it worry us that America’s new Secretary of Defense worked for Boeing for thirty years? Boeing’s stock price should tell us something profound. Like Europe’s Airbus, China is waiting to scoop up worldwide twin-engine single-aisle passenger aircraft business. What if America’s FAA has irreparably lost international prestige? Why did Boeing put two huge modern engines on a fifty year-old air frame? Why did they decide to omit information from instruction manuals about a computer system that can override the pilot? You wouldn’t buy a car that did that. Is Western defense and American security being held hostage by “The Swamp”? Also, I reveal my prediction about when the 737 MAX will again take to the skies and tell you why you will remember the first quarter of 2019 as history-making in American politics.

Disagreements between citizens must be settled by ballots not bullets. But disagreements between nations are settled by power not paper; by cannons not committees.  Stop telling lies to little children. Is it any of your business if I buy the house next to you, never occupy it and leave it empty? Why did my father torment me with mechanical clocks? How important is protecting private property? What does Vancouver, British Columbia have to do with Jerusalem, Israel? Nations should pursue their interests not those of the United Nations, the International Court, or any other bogus institutions that have never prevented a war, let alone stopped one.

More Canadians were arrested for praying in Christian churches than were arrested for igniting, burning and destroying 56 Canadian churches recently. Canadians are also arrested for the slightest perceived offense against mosques, but not for destroying churches. Why do they hate Christianity? Why being a man is harder than being a woman in two important ways. The worlds of politics, entertainment, and sports were enthusiastic about Olympic gymnast Simone Biles dropping out on account because “It’s important to put mental health first.”  Would everyone have praised an NFL player who left a Super Bowl at halftime for the same reason?

A vital secret of successful living is moving on from the past, no matter how horrible, evil, unjust, or immoral that past was.  Some of the best ways to live successfully is to  avoid financial dependence on the largesse of government or charity, become a great spouse and a great parent, find faith, and develop a circle of like-minded friends. This works for those born with a silver spoon in their mouths just as it does for those who have endured great hardship, even pain in their pasts. But the best way to sabotage a life is to dwell on past evils as explanations and excuses for one’s victimhood. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Flatline means death. Vibration means life. Even the very beginning of life, its conception, involves vibration. Heartbeat and breathing are vibrations. Speech, communication and music are all vibrations. Are you wondering why every Happy Warrior needs to know this? Just wait! There are other kinds of vibrations. Red, blue, and green are vibrations, so is what cooks food in your microwave. Different instruments measure different kinds of vibrations. The wrong instrument does not mean there is no vibration. It just means you used the wrong instrument. Why did Hadi Matar try to murder Salman Rashdie? The New York Times cannot know the motive. They use the wrong instrument.

Why does adultery inflict greater pain and suffering than corporate closures and job loss? In Governmental Indoctrination Centers (GIC’s), formerly known as public schools, little children are prematurely sexualized through a propaganda campaign known as Sex Education or Sex Ed. The argument is that children are “going to do it anyway” so we should teach them how to do it safely. Now, your Rabbi asks, let’s also have 'Gun Ed' since we know that children are “going to do it anyway”, that is play with firearms, we should teach them how to do it safely. Here's why this will never happen in your lifetime. When a policeman shoots a black man, without knowing anything else we instantly know that he did it because he was a racist. When a homosexual is attacked in a bar during a drug deal gone bad, everyone knows without doubt that those attacking him did so out of their hate for homosexuals. But when a fervent Muslim, steeped in the theology of jihad, murders a westerner while yelling "Allahu Akbar", authorities spend months futilely trying to discover his motivation. Inevitably they give up or ascribe it to ‘workplace violence’. Why can’t the Left accept the flaws of followers of Islam at face value? Furthermore, the Left considers Bible-believing Jews and Christians to be greater threats to peace and progress than murderous Muslims. Why is this? Whatever two adults do sexually is not government's business, but when two adults engage in a free, consensual, economic or business transaction; government regulates it, controls it, taxes it, maligns it or prohibits it. The Left gives a free pass to adulterers who ruin lives while they focus their fury on business professionals who improve lives. Why is our appetite for sex so understandable while our appetite for money so demonized? Finally, we reveal the difference between the two repugnant revolutions, French and Russian, and the two benign revolutions, English and American, that still shape our century.

The Wall Street Journal is utterly baffled why married couples make much more money than couples living together. All the data confirms that single people, divorced people, and couples who cohabit make much less money than married couples. In fact, the literature is irrefutable on this. If you care about poverty, you need to care about marriage. The colossal question is why. How does your back account or your budget, or your credit card balance know or care whether you and your significant other signed a piece of paper? The compelling answer will astound you. It has something to do with the Bro-Code—never date your buddy’s ex-girlfriend. It has to do with why guys care about a girl’s ‘body-count’. It has to do with the miracle of exponential arithmetic.  Don’t miss this offer of a free lesson in Scrolling Through Scripture just for Happy Warriors  https://www.wehappywarriors.com/scrolling-through-scripture-free-lesson Happy Warriors are not tennis balls floating down the gutter of life.

Who cares what men musicians look like? We only discuss their music. But when lady musicians are dressed a little provocatively, even a little sexily, we’ll comment on their music and also on their appearance. Is this wrong? Is this “sexism” (whatever that means)? There’s a growing group of attractive young female concert pianists who no longer perform in long gowns in muted colors. Few are more noticeable than Yuja Wang, and the music critic of the Los Angeles Times certainly did notice her, which ignited a firestorm of controversy in the Washington Post. Your rabbi found it all highly entertaining and he hopes you will too. And Yuja Wang really is an amazing pianist! Also, a brief rabbinic lesson on zippers in ladies fashion. And now, from the performance to the penitentiary. You’ll never guess what is shared in common by large numbers of men who are serving life sentences but by almost no incarcerated women.

Welcome, Happy Warrior. Yes, if you take full responsibility for your own happiness and you can face the fright at getting into a fight for what is right, you are a Happy Warrior. Success comes not only from having great ideas but also from the execution. In other words, you need both wisdom and also willpower. In this show, we discuss how to obtain both the knowledge of what to do and what not to do, and also the willpower to follow through. Many a procrastinator knows exactly what he should do and yet he fails.  How did Napoleon Bonaparte get from a little village in Corsica to become Emperor of the French Empire? At the age of 35! Remember I told you back in 2015 that autonomous car predictions were wildly optimistic? I told you so! Remember I told you back in spring 2016 that Donald Trump would win in November 2016? I told you so! Electric air taxis? No, predictions are wildly optimistic. I am telling you so. Remember The Flintstones? Remember George and Jane in The Jetsons? Their tech predictions were very good. Their marriage and family predictions, not so much. Resolve always to live as a Happy Warrior, focus on your 5F Renewal, and never exist passively like a tennis ball floating down the gutter of life! Learn more about your ad choices.

If you liked being a happy warrior, well, I’ve upped the ante. It’s now a little harder. It’s easy to laugh when I speak about your rabbi (that would be me) revealing how the world REALLY works, but the truth is that learning how the world REALLY works and adapting to it is immensely painful. Having our illusions shattered is always painful; the slogan is easier than the reality. How the world REALLY works is quite different from the ways in which many of us wish it worked. Many fondly labor under the delusion that we live in a secular age in a secular world. Nothing could be further from the truth. I explain why I feel nothing but compassion towards former secularists who are having their entire worldviews obliterated. Secularism is the tired expression of yesterday’s cultural dinosaurs whose perception of reality is being pulverized. Only anti-scientific secular dinosaurs would believe dogmatically that a man can become a woman. Only tired and aging secularists would believe that it costs nothing if the government pays for it. Why can the 1999 movie 'The Matrix' help explain the quandary of secularism today? People used to think that the more educated and wealthy a society became, the more secular it would be. The growth of Islam, Christianity and Judaism thoroughly refutes that lie. Also, hear about my trip to Ghana last week, a place where 70 percent of the population is Christian. Learn where over a billion Africans are headed. Further, why is it MUCH harder for women to find good men to marry than it is for men to find good women? There are only four conditions of womanhood. Here's a hint: girlfriend is not one of them. Wise women seek security and all wives thrive in its cocoon. Men have failed since 1962 to be able to project power - not brutality, not tyranny, not bullying - but calm, competent, benevolent, masculine power. Learn more about your ad choices.

You may not know it, but your rabbi knows that you probably help humanity every day.  Do you realize that you probably enhance the lives of your fellow citizens every day? Are you a saint? No, of course not. It’s just that money is one of the only two areas in which while you try to help yourself, you are actually also helping others. Is money physical or spiritual? The explanation will surprise you. The fatal flaw of socialism that makes ‘redistribution of wealth’ perfectly logical and even desirable. Why your rabbi thinks of universities as kindergartens. Why everyone needs a pet gorilla to help you increase your income. Why neither economics nor psychology are real sciences. How price “re-anchoring” makes people pay $3 for a $0.45 cup of coffee? Do you drink $50/bottle wine?

The two paramount keys to happiness—marriage and money—are utterly ignored and never taught during the twelve years that most young Americans spend captive in Government Indoctrination Camps.

My guest, the brave and beautiful young Helga Lunenburg from Denmark came to America to warn us about politicians who tax us more and more in order to spend ever greater slices of our money on their wasteful, utopian & self-serving schemes. This bold, young 16 year-old Scandinavian schoolgirl wisely warns us that our economic future is imperiled unless we lower the national deficit. She courageously proclaims how her generation’s future is at risk because California’s liberal government created shortages of water and electricity. How our relationships with our customers, clients and employers can be improved for better productivity and remuneration. How to serve those who provide your revenue more effectively.

Why do many female concert pianists dress provocatively while male musicians dress sedately. How many Jews are there really in the United States?  And how many Muslims? I recall my first-ever speech to a Christian audience in 1995. How do they count Jews? Only 40% of American Jews have visited Israel. Which American Jews have abandoned the faith of Abraham and adopted, as a belief system, the dogmas of the Democratic Party? How many Bible-believing Jews are there in the United States? There is a book I want you to look at: "America’s Real War", because it lays out the Permanent Principles of political change as it is occurring today.

Adolf’s 1000-Year Reich lasted for all of 12 years but most countries, societies, and empires last for about 250 years. You’ll be surprised by the 10 phases countries go through from brilliant break-out to fracture, failure, & finality. Yes, Rome, Persia, Russia, Britain, Spain & Turkey all lasted about ten generations. Phase #2 is economic expansion and #4 is widespread affluence, so let’s discuss money! By far, the majority of people around you understand money as well as they understand Byzantine frescoes. Which is to say, not much! But you can’t put money in your bank without understanding money. And putting money in your bank is important if you want to help restore America. In 1925, President Calvin Coolidge said, “The chief business of the American people is business. They are profoundly concerned with producing, buying, selling, investing and prospering in the world.” Isn’t that true for you?

Your financial success depends upon serving other people, and the best place for doing so is a city. But what if your city is dying? Cities have been growing for more than 100 years. In 1950 America had about ten cities and surroundings with populations of over one million people. Today there are about 50 such places. Over 80% of North Americans now live in cities. The trend is worldwide in both developed and developing nations. They are moving to cities but not only for more money. There are other equally important but connected reasons. Empires like Russia, Britain, Rome, Spain, and Ottoman change or die but their cities like Moscow, London, Rome, Barcelona and Istanbul are still there. The result of no great cities in Africa. Why the Nazi Luftwaffe bombed London rather than the invasion beaches. Do you feel God’s presence more in Galveston or more in Grand Canyon? Does agricultural success evolve into cities or the opposite? Why would you care? Now people are fleeing cities for rural refuge.

Most successful partnerships are built on a carefully drafted partnership agreement. Why do many marriage partnerships thrive without any written agreement? The best airline pilots have gained proficiency on about ten or twenty different airplanes before they take the controls of the airliner you are riding in. Surely the best marriages are when husband and wife have gained proficiency with ten or twenty other people before you?  Read about our special Passover discount on The Financial Prosperity Collection here https://www.wehappywarriors.com/financial-prosperity-collection.

Rabbi Daniel and Susan Lapin converse over breakfast about the General Patton Principle. This explains why the most effective person to solve a particular problem may not be the most gentle, refined and polite person.  General Patton and his 3rd Army beat back the Germans at the Battle of the Bulge in January 1945, but his tirades were often vulgar and profane. Yet, not only did the men under his command love him but so did their mothers because they knew that he really cared about their sons.  The very best doctor to perform a dangerous surgery might possibly be a serial adulterer but no normal person, no matter how religious, would spurn this doctor in favor of a less competent surgeon because of his marital ethics. Obviously, we were responding to two angry letters attacking us for our enthusiastic support for President Trump’s re-election.  We emphasize how this Patton Principle applies in many areas equally applicable to the lives of listeners in Africa or South America who might care nothing about American elections.  We also spoke about our children and child rearing in general with special emphasis on consistency and both father and mother singing from the same music.  We looked into why New Yorkers have looted during their power outages since 1977 but did not during blackouts earlier than that. What changed during the 1960s?  We inquired whether knowing that some things are just plain wrong helps stop us from doing those things and we explored the role of moral will power. Why is that kind of self-discipline, capable of helping us resist the urges of our appetites and impulses, acquired mostly through religion and the military? Learn more about your ad choices.

Virtually all political  debate, conflict, and hostility today is between the state religion of the American government and ruling classes, namely Secular Progressive Fundamentalism and the more conservative outlook springing from the Bible-based Judeo-Christian tradition.  This religion, SPF,  has also been embraced by the European Economic Union and by almost all universities and educational systems. They worship the small ‘g’ of government.  On the other side is arrayed a loose alliance of citizens ranging from those who do not subscribe to any religion but resent the way that the Left forces its faith down their throats all the way to fervent Christian and Jewish Bible believers who turn to the big ‘G’ of  God.  The passage of time and events is making almost everyone become more fervent devotees of whatever side of the great cultural divide on which they have placed themselves. Secular Progressive Fundamentalism views the Biblically-based Judeo-Christian system as a terrible obstacle to progressive hegemony.  I view it as quite vital for the survival of civilization.  One of the most significant differences is that the SPF religion treats feelings as far more important than facts and the heart far more important than the head.  Find out what I discover when asking people I meet, “Where in the Bible do we find the verse, ‘And you shall surely follow your hearts!’?   How SPF and it’s listen-to-your-heart doctrine can really harm your life.

As bad as it is to act irrationally but in the grip of your emotions, it is even more dangerous to think irrationally because you are influenced by your emotions and by how other people around you are thinking. Today we learn independent thinking which will help your future success in all your 5Fs, Finance, Family, Faith, Fitness, Friendship. This all depends entirely upon your ability to impose your own limits on your own freedoms. This in turn, depends upon your ability to restrict the control that your emotions have upon your decisions and choices. We will study the Russian Ukrainian situation in terms of how many Americans may have been emotionally manipulated to believe something that may not be true. After all, it already happened once before with Covid. They gave figures for the number of Covid deaths and they described the efficacy of masks. Should America really send $10B of your tax money to Ukraine? Why not rather to other countries suffering war and deprivation? Do you like inflation?

Welcome to the church of Secular Fundamentalism.  Many, and probably most American cities dump their carefully collected “recyclables” into the local landfill!  That’s right!  After you laboriously separate your pizza boxes and beer cans from your papaya skins and T-Bone steak left-overs, after you arduously rinse out spaghetti sauce jars and baked bean cans, and after you religiously do all this and place each in its designated container, your city picks it up and dumps it all into exactly the same landfill into which they put your baby’s dirty diapers and the avocado pits from yesterday’s guacamole.  China is tired of being the trash dump for North America.  “Recycling” is impossibly expensive and hopelessly uneconomical, in other words, if you did manufacture plastic or glass bottles out of trash produced by your city, nobody would purchase your products as they’d cost so much more than freshly manufactured equivalents.  How companies lie when they tell you their products contain 30% recycled material.  The religion of Secular Fundamentalism has its saints and its sinners like most other religions.  It should cost no more than $5/ month to get rid of your household trash; check your city bill now!  Meanwhile, continue being forced to participate in the sacred sacraments of the official government religion of Secular Fundamentalism and genuflect in your kitchen before the blue cylindrical shaped idol that you piously feed with carefully selected tidbits.  Learn more about your ad choices.

By far, the majority of people around you understand money as well as they understand magnetic resonance imaging. Which is to say, not much!

In 1900 Joseph Conrad published his wonderful novel set in the Congo, Heart of Darkness.  Francis Ford Coppola based his movie Apocalypse Now on Conrad’s novel.  Back then Africa was the 3rd World. When I motorcycled through Africa in 1969, it was still the 3rd World.  It is no longer the 3rdWorld.  It is moving rapidly toward 1st World conditions.  The United States, however, is moving just as rapidly towards 3rd World conditions.

Like most of what Karl Marx said, he was also wrong about class. “Class” has nothing to do with money or skin color. It’s a mindset and a way of life. It has everything to do with culture. People headed for the upper class do not go on welfare. People headed to the upper class are ambitious and independent even if they don’t have much money yet. People headed to the upper class get married and stay married. If human life is only material and not spiritual, then government welfare would make sense. But we are actually spiritual beings. So, 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 with entertainment, sex, violence and debt. Low class politicians enrich themselves while obsessing about climate change and sugary drinks rather than water supply and crime. The Passover Seder is a roadmap to the upper class. https://rabbidaniellapin.com/product/seder-set/ 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 a majority of its population to be upper class for survival.

Is everybody’s work equally valuable and important? How can you tell the difference? I respect all humans who behave consistently with being created in the image of God, but do I respect all career choices, occupations, and professions equally? No, of course not, and neither do you. There are several key things to bear in mind when choosing a career path. What attributes does sprinter Usain Bolt share with an oil rig worker and a dentist? What does a professor of race and gender studies share with a graffiti artist? A surprising number of people think that the moon landing in 1969 was a hoax, but what actual benefits did it yield? Do you know what a black hole is? Do you care? Do you know what a dental implant is? Do you care? Most things you care about came about because of microscopes, not telescopes. Why do you probably respect mechanics and musicians more than astrophysicists and artists? Lastly, you should be finding your connection to God through an ear rather than through a galaxy.

Men who marry moneyed maidens hoping to get their hands on her wealth deserve what they get, which most times won’t be good. But girls marrying guys with gold is quite different. Men who make money reveal much of their positive masculine desirability whereas a lady’s bank balance reveals nothing of her feminine desirability. Why do men in uniform fascinate females? Also, learn why, in 1970, AMC paid $75 Million for little more than rights to the Jeep car name. Other topics include: Yin & Yang, Grand Coulee Dam, and why weddings happen after men propose to women (not the reverse). The Beatles lied in 1967 when they sang “All You Need is Love”. The real meaning of the Biblical jewelry when he gave her gold at that desert well where Rebecca was betrothed to Isaac, sight unseen, and the future of Israel was assured. When he says, “I love you”, does he mean it the same way as when he says, “I love roast turkey”? A great Russian novelist accurately wrote “Money is coined liberty”. A financially ambitious man is far more likely to love freedom than a community activist, a politician, or a government bureaucrat. A great American novelist accurately wrote “The man who damns money has obtained it dishonorably but the man who respects it has earned it.” Such a man is a far better bet for a good woman than a man who can do no more than express pretty feelings about her, which, in truth, camouflage selfish intent.

So, there was your Rabbi struggling with what to name this episode. At first, I thought of calling it “Even Poor People Deserve Compassion”. Then, I thought we’ll call it “Especially, Poor People Deserve Compassion”. Then, I thought about “We Love Poor People”. As you can see, the ideas were flowing fast and furious, but I was worried about appearing to lack compassion—one of the very worst sins in today’s secular theology. So, then I came up with “Poor People Means Virtuous People”. If you want to know why, in the end, I chose the title I did use, listen on. Now, for those of you who plan to write to me in righteous indignation, howling in protest at this podcast; I will save you time and trouble. Just cut and paste from what follows: “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.” There, see how helpful I can be? Now, if you invest the time to listen, you’ll hear the answers to all of those questions and many others you may not have yet thought of. Learn more about your ad choices.

Police officers, politicians, flight attendants, home owners associations, and even school teachers are susceptible to the almost irresistible seductiveness of exerting power over others. Most feminine women yearn for a powerful man and most men with power achieve more. Having power but not becoming a tyrant. Why most male speed-cops issue warnings and tickets but most female speed-cops issue only tickets. Why I recommend books to some people but not to you. Your main thing is your life and your life is best understood as a unified totality of the 5Fs.  No matter what lies ahead, you’ll be better equipped to face it if you just focus on your own 5Fs. Here’s the blueprint 'https://www.wehappywarriors.com/the-holistic-you' that explains how your finances are tied to your family, and how your fitness is linked to your faith and social life.

What can your rabbi possibly add to all the Niagara-like cascade of conversation on corona virus? I’m not a doctor, so what can I possibly say that would meaningfully add to the diarrhea-like deluge of drivel clogging the Internet. Well, let’s really creep into the core of corona, using not only education and intelligence but also wisdom. Let’s dive to the depths of the disease. What does the Golden Calf of the Book of Exodus have to do with corona? Let’s start with the difference between education, intelligence and wisdom. When you think intelligence, think the notorious Leopold-Loeb murder of 1924. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes spoke about shouting “Fire!” in a crowded theater. What he meant was that if you were in that theater, you were in far more danger of being trampled to death than by being incinerated. What is driving the current fear, panic, & hysteria about Corona? Who exactly is yelling “Fire!” and why? Remember the fear and panic about Y2K in November 1999? None of the terrors actually materialized.  Remember the hysteria about the swine flu “pandemic” in 2009 and the Ebola hysteria in 2014? No? Oh, that’s right, there wasn’t any! Know why? Because the name of the president at the time started with an “O” not a “T”. Talking of O, remember his war on “for-profit” universities? Socialism spurns education for profit and all else for profit. Even medicine. Especially medicine must be governmental. Which brings us all the way back to the corona crisis. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The big new thing in American business is the meteoric increase in the number of employees taking off days for mental health. Sounds like a good thing, right? Seems to afflict mostly the under 35 crowd. There is also a monumental increase in conversation about mental illness. A frightening large proportion of people are taking psychiatric medication in numbers never before seen. So, is mental disease on the increase? Or are normal challenges of a busy normal life being pathologized into mental disease? Especially since there is virtually no mental disorder with any detectable biological marker. Different doctors--different diagnoses and different treatment. Unbelievably large numbers of school boys are taking stimulants like Ritalin or Aderall. Does this reflect growing medical sophistication or a terrible wrong turn. What does your body have to do with all this? What does your soul have to do with all this? Join all the other Happy Warriors in the Happy Warrior community https://www.wehappywarriors.com/    Learn more about your ad choices.

One of the most conspicuous distinctions between mammals and humans is that no animal sacrifices for abstract ideals. Many female mammals will imperil themselves to save their young. This is an instinct without which the species would not survive. But humans will sacrifice for a belief or an idea. Why, humans will even sacrifice their very children for an often bizarre and false idea. They will send their children to GIC’s (Government Indoctrination Camps) where they not only fail to obtain an education but their bodies as well as their souls are endangered—This sacrifice of their children is done in the name of equity.

Why did The Donna Reed Show help marriages while The Gilmore Girls hurt them? And how did boys start reneging on the social contract to become men back during the 1960s? Until then, boys sought to grow into men who would marry and who would cherish and protect their wives. Then, in what will turn out to be history’s most remarkable case of mass arrested development, little boys grew into big boys and big boys became 40 year-old adolescents. Men surrendered their natural authority in relationships; then they renounced responsibility. So understandably, the women had to step in; for whether in politics, business, or male/female relationships, nature abhors a vacuum. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It is true, my life choices have been slightly limited by my biology. Your rabbi was never invited to join the Corps de Ballet of the Bolshoi, neither was he ever drafted into the Dallas Mavericks basketball team. It was never going to happen because biology and genetics endowed him with a body entirely unsuited to basketball and dance. And even though he is not a biologist and not a candidate for the United States Supreme Court, he has seen his body and knows for sure that he is male. So why is this an issue for so many? To some extent, your life is limited by your biology. But it is far more influenced by your Spiritual Schematic. The ideas, good and bad, right and wrong that were imprinted on your subconscious and which whisper in your ear, they play a far bigger role in your success and failure than your biology does. See some really cute Happy Warrior merchandise https://rabbidaniellapin.com/store/merchandise/ Learn how to identify your own Spiritual Schematics and above all, how to change them when necessary so that the brain bolts they blast into your soul move you onwards and upwards in your Family, Fitness, Faith, Finances, and Friends. Whether you walk with God or whether faith is not part of your being, learn the basis of it all in the first 31 verses of Genesis https://www.wehappywarriors.com/scrolling-through-scripture  Shortage or abundance? It’s not science, it is your choice and the difference in your life could be huge.    Learn more about your ad choices.

Caring for your body, your car, your home and all your possessions is Godly. People do not naturally live the future and the past as vividly as they live the present. But if you learn how to do so, you will have far better Families, Finances, Friendships, and Fitness. The present is real. It is where we find pleasure. Following the call of our heart and yielding to the appetites of our bodies is unrestrained if there is no tomorrow. One of the paramount life lessons from faith is that if you want tomorrow to be better than today, you must, today, do things differently from how you did them yesterday.

Politicians prefer solving immediate problems for which they can claim credit now. But statesmen also consider approaching problems that cannot yet be seen but whose approaching footsteps can be heard. The virus is making a relatively small number of people sick. Economic depression will actually kill many more. Even unemployment lowers the lifespan significantly.  Science is outstanding at explaining what things do and why they do it. It is appallingly bad at explaining what individual people do and why we do those things. But a crowd of people acting in unison, say a crowd watching an exciting football game, a crowd gathered for revolution, a crowd subscribed to a certain ideology or theology; well, its behavior is quite easy to predict. For it is not an individual person or even a lot of individual people. No, it is a ‘thing’. A sort of huge animal with countless heads and legs but on an animal nonetheless. It is predictable and often frightening.

How long would it take before a visitor to your home saw a shelf of books? Why this really matters. Want to change your actions? Simple! Change your beliefs. Your soul abhors a vacuum. Absent good beliefs, it will readily embrace bad beliefs and bad beliefs stimulate self-destructive actions. The real reason that certain courts no longer punish certain people for certain crimes. Being depraved is not the same as being deprived. True companionship comes from shared beliefs, not shared skin color. Why actively nurturing a common belief system is a vital marriage maintenance program. Why Native American chiefs had names like Little Wolf, Red Horse, and Black Snake.

Rabbi Daniel Lapin and his wife, Susan, take a lighthearted look at movies. Before World War II, about 0.3% of movies released were what we would call “horror movies”. By 1968, over 2% of movies were horror movies, by 2000 it was 4%, and by 2015 it was 12%. By then, zombies were taking over the (entertainment) world. To date, Hollywood has produced 1,000 more zombie movies than cowboy movies. The Walking Dead? Really? When did the zombie craze really take off? It was 1962. Yes, there’s that date again. Could there be any meaningful correlation between the extirpation of Judeo-Christian Bible faith from everyday life and the rise of zombie horror taking its place? As religion’s ability to help us cope with death declined, did we turn to “zombie-porn”? Michael Jackson, the boy who never grew old, and his music video 'Thriller'.

The utopian wants to fly by banning gravity or ignoring it; The entrepreneur figures out how to overcome gravity with a dirigible balloon or an airplane or a rocket. My preteen utopian schemed and what I learned. Never break a fence until you know why it was built in the first place. Rabbi Daniel Lapin online courses like Scrolling Through Scripture is now 20% off www.RabbiDanielLapin.com.  Entrepreneurs are good at imagining the hidden potential of the real. This is much harder than imagining the unreal, which is one reason for why there are so many more utopians than inventors.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

“I do want to get married.  I just haven’t found the right girl yet” he said to me.  In this show you’ll hear what I said to him.  You will probably never guess when the right time is to start your child’s moral education. These are two of the questions I discuss in this show which is a speech I delivered in Dallas last Sunday.  I speculate on why I sound different when I speak to a live audience from how I usually sound on this show.  Some of the other questions I answer are these: why God chose Abraham. The surprising reason that Hitler and his Nazi war machine invaded Russia in summer 1941 instead of finishing off England. Did Hitler really never hear about Napoleon’s ill-fated attempt to do the same thing in 1812?  Can a multi-divorced person become a good marriage therapist?  The surprising four areas of human development that enable us to become fully integrated people.  How Bible study resembles landing a jet fighter on the deck of an aircraft carrier.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Are you ready for some serious soul stretching?  What kind of hitch-hiker would I stop for late at night?  Does human suffering prove that God is either impotent or cruel? Can people be good and decent without a belief in God? Does God and His Bible require people to renounce passion and exclude fun from their lives? Is belief in evolution a religious or scientific issue? Does God prefer poor people to rich? Science is terrible at telling us how to believe and horrible at informing us how to behave. It is not even much good at explaining things like gravity or colors or language. But it is outstanding at describing. Formulae, equations and theories all attempt to describe physical phenomena but never to explain them. Why didn't Einstein like the Big Bang Theory? Happy warriors are like salmon—we’re okay with swimming against the current. Just because the masses have been hypnotized and the crowds have been indoctrinated doesn’t change our beliefs or our behavior. Three cheers for happy warriors. This is the happy warrior’s textbook https://rabbidaniellapin.com/product/americas-real-war-ebook/ that I believe I wrote with Divine assistance.

Men used to tend toward jobs in which they work with things (farming, construction, factories, etc) while women tended towards home and family or jobs in which they work with people (teaching, nursing, stewardess, etc) . A few people worked with ideas (lawyers, philosophy professors, clergy). Today it's less evident than it used to be. But maybe men still yearn to make, manipulate, or fix things so they have hobbies. Men working in agriculture: 1900 = 38%; 2000 = 10%.  Does having things in his life help keep a man sane? What happens when faith is obliterated? 1860--1960  Marx - Secular morality; Darwin - Secular origin story; Freud - Secular s*x, Einstein - Secularism = All is relative. Abandon naive confidence in higher education to instil moral awareness of right and wrong. Check out my May appearance in Orlando  www.TheProvenConference.com/lapin About 30% of Americans have a university degree but they are governed by the US Congress of which 96% of members have a university degree. Like William F. Buckley, I'd rather be governed by an auto-mechanic than by a professor.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
