Never Say “Happy Holidays”. No! Save Civilization by Saying “Merry Christmas”.

December 14, 2018 16:56 - 1 hour - 45 MB

Culture is not the same as civilization.There are thousands of cultures but only one civilization. Banks & bathrooms in Beijing, Bombay, and Bangkok grew to resemble such institutions in Boston, Birmingham, and Berlin not the other way around. Along with millions of others who voted with their feet, you and I also prefer civilization to any of the countless cultures we could have lived in. The problem is that civilization is a frighteningly fragile flower. But what happens when we clip that ...

Don’t Be a Digital Dunce: Know Your Numbers & Achieve!

December 07, 2018 21:39 - 46 minutes - 32.9 MB

Numbers are your portal to progress. What happened to England when all Jews were expelled? What happened to England when they returned? Start devoting a few hours every week to improving your numerical literacy. Stop telling yourself you can’t do math. Nothing too complicated, just start on becoming more familiar with numbers than you are. In Hebrew all five verbs for counting each also mean aristocrat (count) or prominence, power, and prestige. Amazing Biblical coincidences. When you can ef...

Making Money Means Mastering Money: Here’s How

November 30, 2018 17:00 - 55 minutes - 39.3 MB

By far, the majority of people around you understand money as well as they understand magnetic resonance imaging. Which is to say, not much! As a not very successful fisherman in the cool, deep waters of British Columbia, I learned that you can’t possibly put salmon on your grill without understanding salmon. Similarly, you can’t put money in your bank without understanding money. And putting money in your bank is important. In 1925, President Calvin Coolidge said, “The chief business of the...

Happy Wife—Happy Life: True Testament Or Silly Slogan?

November 26, 2018 20:57 - 1 hour - 44.4 MB

Men are hardwired to want to make their wives happy. We genuinely are happier when our wives are happy. And we are miserable when our wives cry. The problem is that most of us men are pretty clueless as to how to make wives happy. And what makes it even harder is that wives never want to tell husbands how to make them happy. While not disparaging gifts, remembering important dates, and breakfast in bed, in this show we explore the other really important things that make wives happy. For maxi...

The Real Reason The Left Silences Conservative Speakers and Suppresses Pro-Family Voices

November 19, 2018 22:02 - 1 hour - 46.3 MB

Conservatives frequently misunderstand the battleground. They try to refute beliefs with facts. Won’t work! Never has; never will. Crusaders will always defeat accountants. Believers will always defeat policy wonks. The committed will always defeat the complacent. Remember when the Moors invaded Spain? Well, one afternoon in the year 720, a brave Catholic priest bravely confronted the Moslem mob saying, “We should get together and hold a big symposium about the future of religious pluralism ...

Increase Your Productivity by Never Sleeping In Your Day Clothing. Really?

November 09, 2018 21:16 - 1 hour - 45.6 MB

I always thought that the fashion industry was just decadent, but apparently not. Clothing possesses a profoundly spiritual aspect. Most male birds like peacocks and cardinals are strikingly colorful while the female looks dull. However, last time I was at a charity banquet, the men were all bland and drab in black suits and white shirts while the women were resplendent in every color of the rainbow. Does the difference suggest something useful about male/female relationships? Is the Bible, ...

Do You Recycle Your Household Trash? If Yes, You Are Devoutly Pious

October 26, 2018 21:48 - 55 minutes - 39.3 MB

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...

Go See The New Movie About Abortionist Kermit Gosnell-However You Vote

October 19, 2018 21:00 - 43 minutes - 30.8 MB

If Americans in favor of abortion knew some truths about the abortion industry, would they change their minds? Is that fear causing suppression of the new Gosnell movie, “Gosnell: The Trial of America's Biggest Serial Killer”? Kermit Gosnell was a cruel and callous murderer operating an abortion mill staffed by unqualified teenagers. Why wasn’t he subject to the health inspections that even dentists and nail salons endure? How could he kill babies and adults in disgustingly filthy surroundin...

The Bad News & The Good News Is That You Still Must Go To Work This Monday Morning

October 14, 2018 22:30 - 47 minutes - 33.9 MB

We're all fallible outside our areas of expertise, even famous heart-surgeons and billionaires. Why many bright celebrities who predict that tech will make work obsolete are foolish. Why many clever pundits who predict that men will come to prefer robots to women are foolish. The only way the government can give some people money is by first taking it from others. It does so by imposing confiscatory rates of taxation and by printing money. Why both activities leave you with less of your own ...

A Tyrannical State Frequently Destroys the Lives Of Law-Abiding American Citizens

October 03, 2018 02:58 - 1 hour - 54.1 MB

Don’t be overwhelmed by today’s events in your business, family, or our politics. Seek understanding of the original causes. A tyrannical state, through hysterically emotional courtrooms, ruthlessly ambitious and corrupt prosecutors, and political-wind-sniffing judges, frequently destroys the lives of law-abiding American citizens. Sarah Good and 4 other innocent women were executed in Massachusetts 1692 for being witches! With no conviction ever, Ray Buckey spent 5 years of his life in j...

Be Just One Person: Fix Your Finances, Friendships, Faith, and Family

September 23, 2018 18:05 - 1 hour - 55.2 MB

“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 chos...

I Know You NEED Your Smartphone; But Has It Really Improved Your Life?

September 07, 2018 23:56 - 1 hour - 42.5 MB

Isn’t technology wonderful? Sure; it’s given us marvelous medicines, instantaneous communication & spectacular entertainment. But it’s also given us hackers who can steal our identities, bosses who expect responses from us at midnight, and a cornucopia of pornography. In other words, technology increases the possibility of good but it also amplifies the bad. Good societies use it to spread information and participation while rogue regimes use it to repress and control. Technology can assist...

King Solomon Learned Some Things From Ants. We Can Learn Others.

August 31, 2018 22:26 - 44 minutes - 30.4 MB

Why you could have once watched me demolishing a huge ants nest. Why an utterly chaste nun in Florida contracts an STD while hedonistic people in California seem to cavort concupiscently with impunity? How even untrue ideas spread across groups of people and through entire societies with almost virus-like effectiveness. How a Belgian rogue plagiarized a brilliant South African scholar. If the Internet and telephone systems are the country’s nervous system, what is its digestive system?

Does It Really Matter that Some People Believe Humans Are Animals and Animals Are Humans?

August 24, 2018 17:44 - 1 hour - 58.3 MB

Why a large white llama wandered around the Lapin family’s dinner table. Why movements and organizations with no attractive young women involved are doomed. Does the animal rights movement attract young women? Are circuses, dolphin shows and even zoos unethical? Who caused the changes in packaging for animal crackers? You don’t own your pet; you are a guardian to your animal companion. Admittedly it’s a sad choice but would you kill six bunny rabbits (or chimpanzees) in order to save the l...

Physical Intimacy & Money Are Really Two Elements of The Force of Attraction

August 18, 2018 16:24 - 1 hour - 58 MB

The powerful attractions that most of us feel towards both physical intimacy and money are really no more than the two components of the force of attraction. Both the pleasure of sensual fulfillment and the pleasure of acquiring money are attained only with the participation of another person.  Do you know anyone who doesn’t want to have more money? Do you know anyone who doesn’t want to have a joyous marriage and fulfilling family life? There may be one or two outliers, but almost everyon...

Let’s Face It! Everyone Needs Money. What If You Need A Little More? Or A Lot More?

August 11, 2018 16:00 - 1 hour - 45.5 MB

Never mind Harry Potter, but is making money ‘stinking sorcery’? Hey Kids! It’s easy to describe the hard work your dad does if he’s a bus driver, a fireman, or a pilot. But what if he’s a mortgage broker,  a recruiter, or an investment banker? Does he make money by just talking on the phone all day? Sounds like fun. LeBron James plays basketball and Ron Johnson built the Apple stores in all the malls. Each made about $30M a year. Why did so many people say Ron Jonson was overpaid at Apple w...

Men! Do not drop to your knee and give a woman a ring without first hearing this show!

August 03, 2018 18:34 - 1 hour - 44.9 MB

I’ve spoken about the kinds of men that women should seek and avoid but now, the reverse. Which women should men seek and which should they avoid?  Do you know why, in the romance department, Cinderella is a little more true-to-life than Aladdin? Guys, should you worry if your wife’s boss is rich and good-looking? How about if he’s just rich? What do you do if your wife decides she doesn’t want to work but would rather stay home with your babies? What about if she does want to work but wants...

How Are “High Quality People” Different From “Low Quality People” and Does It Matter?

July 26, 2018 21:39 - 1 hour - 48.3 MB

How a country’s economy controls its military abilities. The most important rule you’ve heard today: Reality is more accurately depicted by a video than by a snapshot. With this show you can measure whether you're a hi quality or low quality person. Hitler wasn’t a lunatic-at least not at first. His willingness to make war against England was quite logical. This show explains why. It also explains why China could one day become a real threat to America while Russia’s population and economy...

Why Progressives Pretend Russia Is Bigger Problem Than Chinese Expansionism, Iranian Aggression, and Illegal Immigration

July 20, 2018 15:30 - 1 hour - 51.1 MB

China threatens American military interests in South China Sea & American economic interests internationally. Iranian nuclear aggressiveness threatens American interests in the Middle East and elsewhere.  Illegal invasion of America by Middle Easterners, North Africans, and South and Central Americans threatens to overwhelm hospital emergency rooms, the welfare system, and the criminal justice system.  Yet to the Left, none of these threats matter. Why is Russia the only danger they s...

How Progressives Promote Emotionalism & Destroy Our Politics, Our Families, & Our Finances

July 14, 2018 16:00 - 1 hour - 53.6 MB

Does America really care about little children? For more than 8 days, the world held its breath over the plight of 12 young boys stranded in a cave in Northern Thailand. Why no equivalent empathy for the more than 50 young American boys murdered by their mothers’ boyfriends in only the first half of 2018? Why no attempt to rescue the thousands of young children at mortal peril from their mothers’ live-in boyfriends? Why no comparable concern for the many children at risk of being killed in d...

How & Why The Left Constantly Sacrifices The Normal For The Abnormal

July 07, 2018 16:00 - 1 hour - 48 MB

Why did the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial on the banks of the Mississippi in St Louis become The Gateway Arch National Park? Is it because the Louisiana Purchase was really a horrid event? The Left wants to progress constantly. Socialism wants change for its own sake. What would America have to look like for progressives to want to preserve? If America acceded to all of the Left’s demands, would they then become conservatives? Community Organizer & Activist are not job titles that ...

What Can Be Done About The Real Reason Why Murderers Murder, Robbers Rob and Rapists Rape

June 30, 2018 16:00 - 1 hour - 50.1 MB

“You two have lovely hearts!” she told us. But she couldn’t have known that. What’s more, it’s irrelevant. What mainly matters for people to be able to live & function together, is not our hearts and thoughts but how we behave. The motives of muggers & murderers don’t matter. Their behavior does. The reasons robbers rob and rapists rape is largely irrelevant. But since you ask, I do happen to know why young men commit these hideous crimes. The answer is simple: Because they wanted to. Being ...

Roman Holiday. Not Only a Great Movie But Also a Reminder of America’s Airborne Destiny

June 25, 2018 16:58 - 1 hour - 49.1 MB

Is America headed up or down? Is our discontent with our leaders because we see them working in their own interest not in ours or just because we are deplorables? Is our distrust in the FBI, the IRS, the Veterans Admin., the USPS, and Amtrak because of rampant bureaucratic & political corruption or just because we are paranoid? Does our gloom and pessimism obscure all the wonderful indicators of progress—teachers now getting paid well, even the poor have smart phones and air-conditioning, in...

If Familiarity Breeds Contempt, How Can Your Marriage Survive?

June 15, 2018 14:00 - 40 minutes - 27.9 MB

“This was the beginning of evil, for if no man is a hero to his valet, much less can he remain a god for long in the eyes of a curious woman. Here, as in other matters, familiarity breeds contempt.” I didn’t realize that when the great English adventure writer Rider Haggard wrote those words, he was quoting the German 18th century philosopher Hegel, of whom in general, I don’t think much but who did write these good words, “No man is a hero to his valet. This is not because the hero is not a...

Now For The First Time: My Conversations With Listeners of this Show

June 12, 2018 16:04 - 1 hour - 47.5 MB

On this show, I enjoy a conversation with several listeners of the Rabbi Daniel Lapin Show.   The only thing about hosting my shows on terrestrial radio that I miss is the conversation with callers.  Otherwise, I prefer the up-and-coming podcast format.  A few weeks ago I solicited advice from tech-savvy listeners about how to incorporate your calls and today’s show is the result of their generous guidance.  We talk with callers about marital infidelity in marriages with higher earning wives...

Sexuality: A Smash-and-Grab Raid or Steps Towards Love, Commitment, & Marriage

June 04, 2018 17:18 - 1 hour - 49.6 MB

Most adults who have lived a little of life, and who’ve survived  its inevitable heartaches and tears, deeply desire to save their children from pain. Chief among their legitimate concerns is premature sexualization. What a blessing it would be if children could avoid the intense emotional roller coaster ride of serial infatuations. (And don’t for a moment surrender responsibility by fallaciously claiming that such heartbreak is ‘just part of growing up’. It isn’t.) How about if kids could g...

Freedom’s Just Another Word For Nothing Left To Lose…

May 29, 2018 19:41 - 59 minutes - 40.9 MB

Do you really believe that all children born ought to have equal opportunities for successful lives? Really? And how far exactly do you want the government go in order to guarantee this? How should we guarantee the child of a drug addicted homeless woman the same shot at success as a home-schooled child from a caring intact family? Should parents be able to bequeath their assets to their children or is the death tax a moral attempt to provide all children the same shot at success? Does a rel...

This Summer Visit a Mediterranean Paradise Like Gibraltar, Malta, or Gaza. Huh?

May 22, 2018 17:59 - 1 hour - 44.2 MB

Three Mediterranean oceanfront countries with similar population densities, similar limited access, similar lack of natural resources. Yet, Malta and Gibraltar are thriving, happy places that attract throngs of tourists while Gaza is a dangerous and oppressive hell hole. Why? (Clue: It has nothing to do with Israel) Should countries that start wars and then lose them also lose territory? How helpful is the United Nations? When groups of people succeed or when they fail, the causes are seldom...

Why People who See Themselves as Angels Outperform those who See Themselves as Animals

May 11, 2018 23:35 - 1 hour - 59.3 MB

Here’s an unexpected reversal: It’s not so much that civilization developed water-borne sewerage systems as much as it’s that the cultural values of cleanliness that made it imperative for certain cultures to distance themselves  from their body waste that made civilization possible. Toilets and sewage systems are more important than banks and art galleries and have to come first. Cultures that sexualize the public area lose economic vitality. Why premature sexualization of youngsters dooms ...

Finally, Proof that Lefty Liberalism Is An Incoherent Fraud

May 06, 2018 12:00 - 1 hour - 46.5 MB

Should women be allowed to vacation, exercise, and work isolated from hungry, leering male eyes? Well, while most men do not mind being gazed at by women’s eyes (What! Men and women react differently to being ogled?) should men-only clubs also be allowed?How about male only sports? When little children say to an adult, “But you said the opposite yesterday”, you know they got you. You’ve got work to do. Inconsistency reveals fault lines in a coherent system and liberalism has more than its fa...

Why Giving Strangers a Key to Your Front Door Is Immoral To Your Spouse and Kids

April 30, 2018 16:35 - 1 hour - 81.1 MB

Deep down, do you harbor a horrible little suspicion that accepting most migrants or refugees, (whatever you want to call citizens of other countries who want to live in America) is more moral than building a wall or stopping them at the border in any other way? Deep down do you suspect that it is more moral to help beggars in Bombay and derelicts in Djibouti than helping your own sister? Do any of the 535 legislators on Capitol Hill know of any moral framework defending national integrity? ...

Miracles of Masculinity; Men & their Moms; Movers & Makers

April 20, 2018 22:13 - 2 hours - 88.8 MB

3 vital questions to ask the man wanting to marry (or date) your daughter. One sure giveaway that he’s a loser. Hint: It has to do with his mom. A scary interview with an intensive care hospital nurse. "If civilization was left up to women, we’d still be living in grass huts." What sexist male pig said that? It’s also true that there are more female fetuses aborted than male. By their feminists moms! Why so many LUGS (lesbians until graduation) but not so many HUGS. Participation prizes-a na...

Bedrooms, Bathroom, and God: Why We Laugh

April 13, 2018 22:06 - 54 minutes - 37.2 MB

What really distinguishes liberalism from conservatism. Holding your own baby for the first time matters to all people in all places at all times. Tennis and marshmallows do not. Feeling hope as the sun rises is something all humans everywhere have always known. Riding a rollercoaster ride is not. Ancient Jewish wisdom’s take on Scripture is that it covers everything that is applicable to all people everywhere, always. Such a universal experience is laughter. What is it and what makes some t...

Why Didn’t My Jewish Boyfriend Marry Me? Her Sad Story & Reactions

April 05, 2018 22:51 - 1 hour - 43.7 MB

Only about 20% of self-identifying American Jews believe in God and regard His Torah as authoritative. And the rest? What do they believe? Is it true that some parts of American Jewry are viewed as the circumcised wing of the Democratic Party? Why is so much American entertainment Jewishly flavored? This is not true for movies and TV programming from England or France. Is this observation anti-Semitic? If so, call the Anti-Defamation League. Or the Southern Poverty Law Center. The truth abou...

Why the World Hates the Jews

March 25, 2018 01:00 - 1 hour - 47.1 MB

Is it because the Jews convinced the Romans to crucify Jesus? No; many who hate the Jews also hate Christianity. Is it because of Jews like Saul Alinsky, George Soros, Bernie Sanders, Sigmund Freud, Herbert Marcuse and many others? Partially, perhaps, but many who hate the Jews have never heard of these men. Why is it that Jew hatred seems to go hand-in-hand with communism, progressivism, socialism or whatever else you wish to label the Left. Soviet style socialism hated Jews. National Socia...

Everything The Young Man Needs to Avoid and Do For Life Success

March 16, 2018 21:56 - 1 hour - 73.2 MB

This show is about the magical ten years in a man’s life; ages 13—23 years-old. These are the years in which subsequent success in life is rooted and, sadly, the years in which the origin of future failure can be found. Here are the step-by-step success strategies that a young man should follow for positioning himself for everything good in life. The show is not about the importance of being cool. It is not about learning how to rap or tap dance and it is not about social media. But it is ...

What’s Worse: Job Loss Or Spouse’s Adultery? And Other Perplexing Problems - 3/8/18

March 08, 2018 19:08 - 2 hours - 86 MB

America’s bizarre distinctions in how two human appetites are treated—sex and money. With sex, anything that two consenting adults chose to do is viewed as nobody else’s business. Anything at all! With money, even if two consenting adults agree to a certain job at a specific hourly rate, the government steps in to insist that employer must pay employee a minimum amount. With sex, if one party decides not to deliver to another, not only is that fine but the other, the ‘buying’ party can b...

A Foolproof Mechanism For Making the Best Decisions On All of Life’s Challenges

March 04, 2018 02:00 - 1 hour - 45 MB

Your rabbi equips you with an invaluable tool: 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 wron...

Serious People Know How To Stop School Shootings - But Not The Way You Think - 2/23/18

February 23, 2018 17:43 - 1 hour - 51.9 MB

A reasoned analysis of the Florida school shooting. Yes, there is a way to stop these tragedies, but, no, it has nothing to do with guns. What percentage of the hundreds of people you encounter every day are really crazy? How many so-called “homeless” are mentally imbalanced? Do you know why they are not being cared for in medical facilities where they would be safe—and so would we? Do you know any families being torn apart by having to struggle with a deeply troubled teenager all alone? Is ...

The Fatal Fire That Burns In The Minds of Men (Well, Not All Men) - 2/17/18

February 18, 2018 02:00 - 38 minutes - 89.1 MB

Why does Socialism exercise an almost irresistible appeal to secular people?  Why are intellectuals, academics, bureaucrats, career-politicians and others drawn so powerfully to, liberalism, progressivism, well, actually to Socialism?  We cannot combat what we don’t understand.  We cannot defeat what we cannot get a hold of.  Let’s probe the real roots of the problem.

A Baffled Martian Scrutinizes America These Past 110 Years - 2/9/18

February 09, 2018 23:06 - 48 minutes - 33.3 MB

Grand Coulee Dam.  Air-conditioning.   Hoover Dam.  Empire State Building.  Over 3 million miles of highway.  Golden Gate Bridge.  Verrazano Bridge.  Holland Tunnel.  George Washington Bridge.  Automatic transmissions.  Commercial jet travel. Electric refrigerators.  That and more took place 1900-1960.   Since then…?  Almost nothing!  What! Why? 1960 is approximate date marking the end of Christianity as the respected central organizing force in American society.  That date also marks the ...

#3 Biblical Secret for Making Money is Know Yourself. - 2/3/18

February 04, 2018 02:00 - 1 hour - 48.9 MB

Is there a scientific test for honesty?  The most important organ for making money (If you’re not a swimsuit model!)  Do identical twins have same or different fingerprints?  The power of optimism in financial interactions.  Do you know what medical school your doctor attended; do you really know if he attended medical school at all?  The danger of fear and how to get rid of it.

Boats And Whales, Adultery And Tigers, Zoos And Puritans - 1/27/28

January 30, 2018 00:01 - 59 minutes - 137 MB

Everything we think we know about Mutiny on the Bounty is a lie!  3 Hollywood movies distorted the truth.  The 1850 novel, The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a great work of art nourishing our higher selves with serious thoughts about good and evil, marriage and morality, hypocrisy and nobility, the inevitability of consequences and yes, adultery.  The 1995 movie The Scarlet Letter starring Demi Moore has as much to do with the book as the movie Free Willy has to do with Moby Dick,...

Effective & Honest Communication Matters Everywhere But Politics - 1/20/18

January 22, 2018 20:06 - 1 hour - 153 MB

Communicating honestly & effectively produces wonderful results in romantic, business & social interactions.  Only in politics is the reverse tolerated. Here’s what a politician would call a spade: “It’s a one person operated, foot-powered implement of wooden-metallic composition designated primarily though by no means exclusively for use in agricultural, horticultural, & constructional activities for purposes of carrying out such excavational tasks as may  be designated by supervisory grade...

Ancient Jewish Wisdom On Masturbation - 1/13/18

January 17, 2018 00:17 - 55 minutes - 128 MB

Masturbation, the art of selfishness. Why is the smallest room in the house, the bathroom, so over decorated?  Monogrammed towels? Soap shaped like seashells? Really? Why are we so embarrassed about a perfectly natural bodily function like emptying our bowels? What does relieving oneself have to do with masturbation? Why did Onan in the Bible have to die? If a woman never marries, is she better off with a child or without? Why are welfare recipients not the most patriotic and appreciative ci...

Your Rabbi Goes Green--The Right Way!

January 15, 2018 01:55 - 42 minutes - 97.6 MB

Mrs. Lapin and I were offered a guided tour of the new Museum of the Bible in Washington DC. We accepted, planning on spending an hour there. We were confident that an hour would more than suffice. We know the Bible, right? We frequently visit Israel. We’ve already seen one too many archeological artifacts. Gosh, was I wrong! We spent five hours there.  They couldn’t get rid of us. And we are eagerly planning our next visit; sooner rather than later.  How often is your rabbi speechless? Ridi...

Where Is Heaven? Really! 2018 The Year For The Death Of Materialism - 12/30/17

January 03, 2018 18:08 - 1 hour - 186 MB

People say, “I’m not religious but I’m spiritual”.  What does that really mean?  What is spiritual reality?  Why do prostitutes still prosper in the era of Tinder with quick and free hook-ups?  Why are so many mental health professionals secular when every indication is that spiritual reality is a powerful factor in mental rehab?  The role of Darwin, Freud, and Marx at the start of the 1900s.  My close encounter with a real, live African lion. Definitions of spiritual and physical and how ma...

How to overcome the resistance that obstructs every attempt to improve our lives, New Year resolutions notwithstanding.

Could You Transform Your 24/7 Existence Into a 25/8 Life? - 12/16/17

December 19, 2017 18:55 - 52 minutes - 120 MB

My polite response to the rude people who accosted me for driving a fuel-hungry, twelve cylinder automobile.  Why we circumcise.  The higher and holy purpose of energy and how the Left has it all wrong.  What Chanukah lights have to do with foreskins.  Why airplane engines burn oil not coal like older railway locomotives.  The real purpose of aging and why not to dye your hair. Make a mistake with a recipe or driving directions and people gently correct you.  But if you don’t agree with them...
