Why the World Hates the Jews (Part 1) - 3/24/18

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 Socialism...

Everything The Young Man Needs To Do & Not Do For Life Success - 03/17/18

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 about ...

What’s Worse: Job Loss Or Spouse’s Adultery? And Other Perplexing Problems - 3/10/2018

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 be destro...

A Foolproof Mechanism For Making the Best Decisions On All of Life’s Challenges - 3/3/18

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 deci...

Serious People Know How To Stop School Shootings But Not The Way You Think - 2/24/18

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 ...

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

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

A Baffled Martian Scrutinizes America These Past 110 Years - 2/10/18

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? Learn more about your ad choices.

The power of optimism in financial interactions. Do you know what medical school your doctor attended; do you 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 - 1/27/18

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, anothe...

Calling A Spade A Spade; What If Hitler Had Not Declared War on America? - 1/20/18

Communicating 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 ligno 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 grades.” Why I ...

Ancient Jewish Wisdom On Masturbation - 1/13/18

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 citizen...

Your Rabbi Goes Green…The Right Way! - 1/6/18

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? Ridiculous...

Where Is Heaven?, 2018 The Death Of Materialism - 12/30/17

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 many of the ...

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

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.

History’s Biggest Non-Nuclear Explosion Yet Katrina Was Worse - 12/9/17

Why does the Canadian town of Halifax send Boston a fifty-foot Christmas tree every year? Why have great senators of the past like Hiram Revels of Mississippi, Daniel Patrick Moynihan of New York, & Henry ‘Scoop’ Jackson of Washington been replaced with the clowns, creeps, crooks and cranks in Congress today?

The Main Thing Is That The Main Thing Must Remain The Main Thing - 12/2/17

Why do politicians and the intellectual elite hate successful business professionals, but they prostrate themselves at the feet of super-wealthy stars of sports and entertainment? What can we learn from the 1991 movie City Slickers starring Billy Crystal and Jack Palance? Who really owns a business, stakeholders or shareholders?

Thanksgiving Is Not Merely A Sentimental Celebration—It’s a Life Transforming Activity - 11/24/17

54 Years ago this week, Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas underwent the most momentous and historic 48 hours ever undergone by an American hospital. The hospital was resilient enough to endure it and continue functioning. Resilience is indispensable for any person, family, or business that hopes to survive. When blows of fate fall, those who are resilient absorb those blows and bounce back. They are buffeted and bent by the storm winds but not broken. They spring back because they possess res...

Frightening Facts About Sex They Didn’t Teach You In 9th Grade - 11/18/17

How the body’s Divine Design reveals the true nature of human sexuality and the real nature of masculine and feminine. The simple anatomical device which would render Viagra obsolete and bankrupt Pfizer Pharmaceuticals. Widely accepted scientific theories that turned out to be huge mistakes. Are modern theories of sexuality possibly all dreadfully wrong? Be married to the only person you’ve ever had sex with? Really? Could TV hits like Friends, Seinfeld, Big Bang Theory and others really be wron...

I Never Thought They’d Allow The Release of How Israel’s Mossad Works - 11/11/17

Nazism, Fascism, Communism, Socialism, Liberalism, Progressivism: These are ALL creations of the LEFT and all strip individual freedom and responsibility while they promote governmental tyranny. In this show I describe what lies at the RIGHT end of the spectrum. The Left allies with Islamic Fundamentalism which only Israel has even a clue of how to defeat. Hint: Follow the money.

Priority Is a Singular Word. Win By Discovering Their Sometimes Hidden Priority - 11/4/17

Secular Fundamentalist pundits in print and TV don’t know why Saipov the Slaughterer mowed down 8 Manhattanites with his truck last Tuesday. “Why, oh why, would he have done it?” they cry in mystified confusion. It certainly can’t be because of his religion. Turns out that knowing your opponent’s central core principles is a huge advantage whether you’re dealing with your children, a business transaction or terrorists. In the mid-20th century, there wasn’t enough space in the world for both Nazi...

Even Scary Change Is Just Another Word For Opportunity - 10/28/17

This show is a lecture I delivered a few days ago to a terrific organization of Christian business professionals who collaborate on developing their businesses according to Biblical principles. There are many such organizations in the United States and I have been privileged to speak for quite a few but this one, Kingdom Chamber of Commerce is one of my favorites. I discuss the significance of change in business, now to embrace it, exploit it, and profit from it. The permanent principles I teach...

Are We Really Progressing To A Better Future Of Peace & Prosperity? - 10/21/17

So those ‘Death Panels’ really are coming, first to the United Kingdom and soon thereafter to us—unless we terminate Obama Care along with almost all government involvement in healthcare. While we’re at it, why don’t we fix education by privatizing it & closing Government Indoctrination Camps (GIC’s otherwise known as public schools)? Why are Gulf State Arabs building modern societies while Palestinian Arabs fail at almost everything but killing? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megap...

Harvey Weinstein, Bill Clinton & Secular Liberal Hypocrisy - 10/14/17

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...

Avoid Foolishness: Consider Las Vegas Emotionally & Thoughtfully - 10/7/17

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 a...

Roy Moore Won & So Did the German Right Wing Party. So Why Are Jews Angry? - 9/30/17

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 Me...

Thoughtful Scientific Skeptics Should Reject the Religion of Secular Fundamentalism - 9/23/17

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 lo...

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.
