Rabbi Daniel Lapin

Learning to evaluate your life’s circumstances using both head and heart—separately.  How it applies to the Las Vegas massacre.  We know that those exploiting Las Vegas to advance a “gun-control” agenda are cynical, manipulative, dishonest  (and also probably foolish) by taking a look at suicide and traffic fatality figures. Do fewer homes own a toolbox these days?  Are Americans less resourceful and self-reliant?  Is that why Ikea made a surprising purchase?   Breaking News!!  Teachers FEEL that they are paid less than they FEEL they are worth!  Really?  Let me explain how the free market works.

Judge Roy Moore defeated the mainstream GOP candidate (whom President Trump mistakenly backed!!) for an Alabama Senate seat.  Again, our rulers, bureaucrats, & bosses failed to grasp that we don’t like important decisions that impact the quality of our lives being made by professional politicians who view us with disdain. In Germany.  The AFD did the same by securing a massive victory last Sunday, elected into government by those ordinary citizens who’ve been paying the real-world price for Merkel’s insane embrace of millions of disaffected young Moslem males.  Though they will certainly make the streets of Frankfurt and Dusseldorf safer for Jews, most American Jewish organizations denounced the AFD success.  These Jews are dead wrong and are advocating for secular liberal propaganda, not Judeo-Christian values.  Popular music has decayed from the great tunes of 1962 to the primitive and savage rhythms of rap and hip-hop.  Does this reflect American’s slide into degeneracy or has it caused it?   How do the Je

The 3 characteristics that define a religion and why Scientology isn’t one but Islam is.  Why progressive politics and leftist ideologies are not a political creed but are, in fact, a religion.  Can you name the “High Priests” of the Left?  Why so-called “climate-change” has far less to do with science than it does with religious belief.  Meet a Berkeley-trained feminist skeptic (Judy) who met a rabbi (me).  You’ll enjoy hearing about her initial encounter with faith and how she ultimately fell in love.

Things you'd be surprised to know that I own: A copy of Mein Kampf, by A. Hitler. The shattered fragments of an Aztec idol.  An enameled swastika medal Hitler signed and presented to a German mother 74 years ago.  In this show I reveal why I own them and how they demonstrate spiritual reality. Giant Buddhas in 2001 equals Confederate Generals in 2017. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How a nice, ordinary middle-class, young guy successfully sued a wealthy older doctor for seducing his wife into a tawdry affair.  No, your rabbi hasn’t joined the staff of People Magazine, but here is one reason why Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward’s marriage worked and Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston’s didn’t.  Remember when female flight attendants (that would be ‘stewardesses’ to you old-timers!) were all young and beautiful?  Let me tell you what happened to many of them.  A good woman is not easy to find but her value vastly exceeds not only rubies but also the value of women with advanced academic degrees.

Does the president really need to show that he cares about Houston or is it enough for him to take the necessary actions to bring relief?  Who are these looters?  What distinguishes looters from rescuers?  How can you predict who would rescue and who would loot.  Watch out! Today you’re being judged by the feelings you express and not by your thoughts and actions. God help us. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

When a group of people form a society, whether it is the Pilgrims, the Oneidas, the Shakers, the Communists or any other groups, one thing they have to decide is how they are going to organize money. How will people eat and how will the organizers (government) seize its monetary needs? Money is an interface between physical and spiritual. People often fail to recognize the role that morality plays in economic policy. In this show, we examine the questionable morality of the Income Tax and little known facts of its arrival.

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

Most of what the sick,  evil  and twisted denizens  of the Democratic Party claimed about Pres. Trump weren’t true.  Here are ten things about the President that are indeed true. One of them is while occasionally really bad men do have great kids, those great kids never retain relationships with their bad fathers.  When you see great kids remaining close to their dads, you’d be making a big mistake writing off those dads as jerks.  They aren’t.  Listen for the remaining nine Trump truths.

I have two dear friends (whose names I mention in the show) each of whom hosts a national radio show and each of whom were ‘Never-Trumpers’.  I didn’t understand them then. I don’t understand them now.  But they are both good and honorable men.  I decided to come up with ten truths that they couldn’t contradict and which would leave them both incapable of explaining satisfactorily why they voted against President Trump.

President Trump defended the West and was reviled as a racist.  That slur is nothing but  a meaningless bludgeon. Can’t tell the difference between the West and the Rest?  Just try using a public bathroom in Bahawalpur and then do the same in Boston. Still not sure?  Okay, time to get dramatic.  Break your leg on the street in Lagos, and then do the same (the other leg) in London.  Getting the idea?  Just try buying a home or starting a business in Teheran and then try it in Tallahassee.  So if the West deteriorates and dies, it is not only bad for you and me,  it is even worse for millions of other human beings.

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. Teach them well. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Do you know any new brides thrilled that their frugal fiancées bought their engagement rings at a flea market for $6.99?  Why is it important for women to get engaged with an expensive diamond ring?  Why don’t women propose marriage to men?  (Hint: A new Rolex watch might be a good way to go)  Is a women who wants to marry a man with a few dollars (or the prospect of plenty) a gold digger or an excellent woman?

Let’s consolidate Leftism, Socialism, Marxism, Communism, Progressivism, and yes, Liberalism, all under one simple but true umbrella---Secular Fundamentalism. Start off with a commitment to secularism, and your soul is automatically tugged left. Reject God and for most the alternative is government. But why Oh why do people who hate private property and despise the “rich” also loathe the traditional family. Why can’t you be a good economic leftist, loving high taxes and government redistribution but loving the concept of the family? It seems impossible. Let’s listen to discover why.

It might have been written over 150 years ago but the part of our soul to which Marx and Engels were singing is still seduced by socialism. Until we are willing to deny the State any rights to our families and to our money, we will always remain vulnerable. Under the promise of security and equality, politicians lure you into dependency. A very bad deal. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Why are those who support confiscatory rates of taxation usually the same people as those who support increased entitlement spending?  Why do opponents of the death penalty for murder also usually support abortion?  Why do those who consider Christianity to be a bigger problem than Islam want America to resemble Europe?  Why do those who think public schools are doing a great job also generally support transgenderism?  Why do those who feel America’s contribution to the world has been negative also think marriage is only one way, and not the best way, to organize society?  Are these all coincidences or is there some hidden secret force guiding it all?

In this show I describe the many ways that death has unobtrusively invaded our culture. Sometimes it is camouflaged as tolerance or political correctness. Other times such as the assisted suicide and euthanasia legalization movement it is quite blatant. Infatuation with the culture of death underlies much of how ugliness is replacing beauty, vulgarity is replacing restraint, and why C**P and S**T have become part of almost conventional communication. Every A*****E knows that. Flinging those words around is the equivalent of a Guantanamo detainee flinging a bag of his own feces at an American officer. I explain how the world REALLY works, even in these darker corners. So, remember, always choose LIFE!! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
