Ep 105 | Whether by Welfare or by Riots, in Western Countries the Takers Plunder the Makers
You’ve heard of the Pulitzer Prize. A glimpse into the life of the Jewish Joseph Pulitzer who used financial principles of ancient Jewish wisdom to transform himself from a penniless 17 year-old immigrant who could not speak English into the owner of a publishing empire in only 15 years. Those principles are just as workable today and can be learned here: 'https://www.wehappywarriors.com/financial-prosperity-collection'.Why two young, single women raced each other around the world in less than 80 days in 1889. Why Nellie Bly decided she didn’t need a gun. One Chinese shipyard has more production capacity than all of America’s shipbuilders. Chinese fishermen don’t only catch fish, they help the Chicom army build fortress colonies. How will your life be impacted when China takes Taiwan? Why do developed countries like the United Kingdom, Sweden and the United States have significantly larger parts of their populations on welfare, basically recipients of charity, while Ghana, Kenya, and Sri Lanka have almost nobody living on government handouts? Who was it in 1835 who predicted that when the non-working half of a society has succeeded in taking as much as possible from the working and productive part of society, their next step will be wholesale plunder and revolution? If you’re giving money away with no strings attached, the line will be of infinite length. Regardless of political turmoil, whether in your country or internationally, 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'. It explains how your finances are tied to your family, and how your fitness is linked to your faith and social life. Be a happy warrior not a tennis ball floating down the gutter of life.

Ep 104 | The Main Thing Is That Your Main Thing Remains Your Main Thing
Yes, in this show I do explain why it is clear that China will take over Taiwan sooner rather than later. But I only tell you that in order to help you apply a powerful permanent principle that will enhance your lifestyle. For the same reason, I tell you how England and France had a 48 hour window starting on March 7th, 1936 to avoid the outbreak of World War Two only three years later. They wasted that opportunity through cowardice and ignorance of another crucially useful permanent principle. Regardless of political turmoil, whether in your country or internationally, 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.

Ep 103 | Combat Controversy by Connecting, Communicating, Collaborating and Creating Wealth
Let me tell you about when the late Prince Philip threatened to evict the Queen of England from his car. Yes, I have just had Coronavirus and no, it is not fun. The controversial medication that I took and which I believe was effective. Why controversy is a pretty silly and meaningless word and why Happy Warriors embrace it. The amazing implications of the mysterious fifty-year cycle in human economic affairs. Fifty years from the invention of the telegraph to the phone and again to television and again to the Internet; and each one signaled a peak in financial productivity. But why should this self-evident pattern be so controversial? Why a young woman who mistakenly believes she is overweight gets mental health guidance but the same young woman who thinks she is a man gets surgery. Who violated church and state separation by putting a Bible verse on the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia? How to cope with your country’s postal service becoming a dysfunctional system of sheltered employment for the incompetent. The three critical pathways to connection that you can deploy to bring better financial results to whatever you do. Remember that whatever storms swirl turbulently around the foundations of your life, just focus on your 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.

Ep 102 | Low Class People Are Not Victims; They Harm Themselves And The Countries In Which They Live
There are many amazing upper class people without much money yet, and there are even more low class people with plenty of money. 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.

Ep 101 | Should Happy Warriors Buy Bitcoin?
So what is Bitcoin, really? To understand that, we need to understand a soft, silvery substance that is more important than you’d think, even though you see it every day. Some politicians reassure people by saying, “America’s best years are still ahead”. To know if they are telling the truth or gulling voters you should know something about a soft, silvery substance that your rabbi tells you all about in this show. Do you know what has happened to the cost of your electricity lately? Do you know why? This show will tell you some of the unexpected side effects. Do you know why Microsoft, Google, Yahoo and other Internet giants house their colossal computers in a small town in central Washington State, miles from anywhere? Do some of my topics turn off women listeners of this show? The country, Iceland, has a smaller population than the Nevada town of Henderson, yet it dominates the world in two important industries. The reason why early in his presidency in 1933, Roosevelt seized all the gold held by American citizens. How invisible people steal money from you. Do you trust cryptocurrencies?Help shape an accurate worldview for yourself with this: https://rabbidaniellapin.com/product/americas-real-war-paperback/Remember that whatever storms swirl turbulently around the foundations of your life, just focus on your 5Fs.

Ep 100 | Really Worry About What Folks Around You Believe
Who said that people are just squirrels that can’t climb trees? Do you think it was a man who drives a snow plow or an intellectual in charge of educating your children? Our world seems to be based on '2'. Two ends of a piece of string. 1-Good; 2-Evil. 1-Light; 2-Evil. 1-Hot; 2-Cold. 1-Physical; 2-Spiritual. Digital technology works on only two digits: 1s and 0s. How many explanations exist for how humans arrived on Planet Earth? What to say to the man who doesn’t want to get married until he is 100% sure he’s doing the right thing. Alcohol eases spiritual pain, not physical. The ideas that people believe make them much more interesting, much more creative, and much more destructive than the facts they know. The inexplicable placebo and acupuncture. Remember that whatever storms swirl turbulently around the foundations of your life, you must focus on your 5Fs. Learn more about your ad choices.

Ep 99 | The Seven Sad Signs of American Decline That Cannot be Denied
Although you might not have noticed it yet, wherever in the world you live, your life is being impacted as America yields international hegemony to China. How is America declining? One: K-12 Education; two: communication; three: war on financial independence; four: war on traditional family; five: making skin color the universal explanation; six: deficit spending; seven: War on Judeo-Christian faiths. Since 1964, American rankings in high school science and math have dropped from the very top to lower than 40th out of 70 nations. But our per student spending has continually climbed; how can this be? We examine two different women, each representative of the two different nations occupying North America. Why obscenity has crept into the language and is used so much more today than in 1960. How clash of culture kills communication, which in turn, undermines the economy.

Ep 98 | Overcoming the Invisible Forces Resisting Your Efforts for Good
I confess to what is the only hard thing about this show. After our physical needs are met, we all need a world-view. A sense of why things happen the way they do. A way to understand the phenomena we encounter in life. Why we laugh. Yes, we are what we eat, but even more importantly, we are what enters our eyes and ears. Certain heavy metals bio accumulate in your body—once in, they never leave. Similarly with certain sights and sounds, certain ideas and certain pictures—they’re part of you forever. There are forces trying to undermine your progress and trying to retard your efforts to improve yourself and your life.

Ep 97 | I Gotta Be Me. Really? What about your ambition to become more than you are now?
Sammy Davis Jr. crooned the song, “ I Gotta Be Me” and carefully avoided the advice he sang to his audiences. That’s why he was a success. Let’s see what’s wrong with five incredibly destructive lines and lies. “I gotta be free, I gotta be free” sounds so good. What could possibly be wrong with such inspiring advice? Read about Scrolling Through Scripture here: https://www.wehappywarriors.com/scrolling-through-scripture-unit1 Must every country echo what we see the United States doing? Is it inevitable that societies, after struggling to achieve affluence then eventually descend to decadence and finally oblivion or is there an alternative? What should you do when you hear your spouse saying, “I just don’t love you anymore”? What it would feel like to brainstorm with your clone. What is really wrong with marrying your sibling? Is there any moral difference between a woman wearing a mink coat and a motorcyclist wearing a leather jacket? Being a good listener means exercising your feminine side. How you can be liberated by rules and structure. There are roughly the same number of men as women in the American workforce. So why do men die in work accidents at rates more than ten times that of women? Be a happy warrior, not a tennis ball floating down the gutter of life. Learn more about your ad choices.

Ep 96 | I Did It My Way, How About You?
If we all lived about a thousand years, by the time we reach middle age, say 400 to 500 years old, we’d all be pretty smart. We’d discover that truth tends to reveal itself over time. We’d sit around saying things like, “Yeah, you really can’t change gender, funny what we used to think when we were young.” That guy in the corner celebrating his 625th birthday would say, “Hey, remember back when we used to think socialism can work?” There’s only one snag: we don’t live for a thousand years and we are forced into critical life-decisions long before we’ve seen enough of life to be smart. The solution is revealed in this show. Also, the fatal flaws in Frank Sinatra’s famous song that has seriously misled so many men. Ladies, do you really want the man you’re going to marry, to have travelled “…each and every highway…”? Guys, do you want to go into business with a friend who assures you that he is going to do things “…my way”?
