You Got Some Money? Don’t Dare Admit It! 02/20/16

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 wh...

Valentine’s Day? – Bah, Humbug! 02/13/16

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

There Are No Poor People in America! 02/06/16

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 inequali...

Human Reproduction!-Biology or Bible? Sexual Sensation or Spiritual Rapture? 1/30/16

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...

Does God Want You To Be Rich? You’d Never Guess - 1/23/16

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 ...

Boost Your Income by Understanding How The World REALLY Works 01/16/16

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. Visit meg...

Drugs, Nudism, Debt & Porn—The Ghastly Peril of Short Termism 01/09/16

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 c...

Warning! Postpone Treating The Disease At Your Own Risk (Part I) 1/02/16

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 in...

Restoring the Republic-We Can Bring Back America’s Power, Prosperity, and Prestige 12/26/15

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 ...

THE SCORE: Barbarians/Socialists/Jihadis 5 Civilization/American Future/Christianity 1 12/19/15

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 ...

Your Life Comes First! Why It Must & How To Make It.

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. So discover h...

This is the 3M's Show: Men, Money & Marriage 12/05/15

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 ben...

Honey, I’m Sorry I’ve Got a Headache & Other Marriage Secrets 11/28/15

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 wiv...

Why We Fail To Defeat Fierce Fanatics and Frenzied Fiends

Why can’t America defeat the 12th Century culture of our Muslims tormentors? On the night before the Normandy Invasion in June 1944, General George Patton spoke to his troops. “Americans play to win all the time. That’s why Americans have never lost and will never lose a war.” Up until that date he was right. At his Inaugural Address in January 1961, President Kennedy promised, “we shall pay any price, bear any burden…to assure the survival and the success of liberty.” Really? Like when we fled ...

It’s Easy To Start a Business & Pay Your Taxes Because All You Need Is Love! 11/07/15

The very best business idea you’ve never heard. How you could launch it today. Getting a new car for free. Why barter clubs always fail. The fatal moral blemish that brings on inflation and erodes your savings. Four “Truths”That Just Ain’t So: (i) Richard Milhous Nixon was a bad president.

The Perils of Pessimism: How To Banish It & Better Your Life 10/31/15

Optimism is the fuel that propels you to achievement in family, friendships, and yes, in finance. Yet many suffer the pain of pessimism and have no idea of how to defeat it. People are imprisoned by pessimism and prevented from finding their destiny. Learn to develop your optimism and acquire one of the most powerful tools of success. Pessimism inflicts even more damage upon societies and nations. No kids? No water? No electricity? Yes, that is all caused by national pessimism. So stop being par...

Why The World Hates Israel; Really! 10/24/15

The cultural heirs of Bach and Beethoven are banging bongo drums in Boston recreating the sounds of the jungle in the shadow of the ivory towers of civilization. Banging bongos takes little talent other than a basic grasp of the primal rhythm of sex. Playing the piano, whether Beethoven or Boogie Woogie takes talent and discipline. Israel is a symbol of civilization-the cultural elites of North America and Europe prefer barbarism. But not in their own lives. Flirting with barbarism gives their s...

A Bounty of Intellectual Ammunition Shining a Laser Beam of Clarity at Today’s Headlines 10/17/15

Many more people die in natural disasters like floods and earthquakes in Haiti, Asia, and Africa than in western countries. Does this mean God sends more calamities to non-Christian countries? Yes, Volkswagen should pay a fine, but to government regulatory agencies or to the car owners who may have been affected? Which VW car to buy now. Climate change has become a religion. Heretics, blasphemers and those who challenge the ‘church’ of climatology must be punished. The administration lied: today...

The Unspoken R Word That Could Stop Terrorism Tomorrow 10/10/15

In first half of show I explain from Jerusalem what Israel will do about Iran’s nuke progress and how it could do it. Also what Israel could do about its mounting civilian casualties at the hands of Muslim terrorists but won’t do. Susan and I visit the home where elderly parents were mourning the recent murder of their son and daughter-in-law. In the next room sat their four orphaned grandsons ages 9, 7, 4, and 4 months. In the second half I mourn how people today are judged on credentials and c...

Why Secular Liberal Elites Love Violent Menacing Islam And Loathe Gentle Kind Christianity 10/3/15

Ever wondered why liberal elites like academics, politicians, and actors respect and revere Islam even though they would be executed under Sharia? Ever wondered why male humans have nipples but male mice and male horses do not? Ever wondered why men must perform actively (in every way) but women less so? Ever wondered why for every four men trying to become women, only one woman wants to become a male? Ever wonder how and why Stockholm syndrome works? And why so many Stockholm women are blond? I...

Ruth Thought She Was An Entrepreneur And Became One Richard Thought He Was a Girl So He Became One

A glimpse into Lapin family life and how a little girl who could only do arithmetic if there was a dollar $ign in front of the numbers became a successful Israeli entrepreneur. Boys and girls are so different that we need separate sports teams and leagues for male and female players of tennis, soccer, wrestling and pretty much all else. Yet boys and girls are so similar that they can go to war together as comrades in combat units of the United States military. Well, are they the same or not? So ...

Are Moslems Hurling Excrement at Hungarian Citizens Really The Bible’s “stranger among you?” 9/19/15

Invasion by immigration! Mexicans go to America not Venezuela. Libyans go to Italy not Somalia. Syrians go to Germany not Qatar. You know why? Generous welfare benefits is why. So the solution is…? But wait! Surely Bible instructs to treat the ‘stranger among you’ as one of you? (Leviticus 19; Deuteronomy 10) Rabbi Daniel Lapin explains the Hebrew meaning of those words. Like Country singer Kip Moore, your rabbi tells you, “Somethin' 'Bout A Truck” and finally the only solution to America’s inca...

What We Can Learn From The West & The Rest: Why Some Countries Flourish & Others Fail 9/12/15

Who’s drowning in the Mediterranean? Europeans desperate to reach the Middle East & Africa or MENA residents trying to reach Europe? Why is western civilization everyone’s goal? Yes I know Western countries are richer and freer, but why? How come 97% of discoveries in science, technology & medicine of past 1,000 years occurred in Western Civilization? Yes, Fred, I know gunpowder was invented in China—I explain that. Only countries with monogamous marriage developed civilization. No excep...

Dial M For Murderers, Muggers, Migrants, Mercenaries, and Magnates—And Yes, Also Morality! 9/5/15

Do any of the 435 national legislators on Capitol Hill know of any moral framework defending national integrity? Does any State Dept. bureaucrat know of any moral framework validating border control? It sure doesn’t look like it, does it? And if you don’t believe in the morality of it, how can you accomplish it? No decent person can succeed at any enterprise that deep in his heart he considers morally reprehensible. Deep down they and their European counterparts believe that any South American h...

How to start a business! A tale of 2 cars: Lexus vs. Infiniti. Australia taking on Communist China? Underwater? With WWII military technology! Do you know why there were never coal-powered airplanes?
