Rabbi Daniel Lapin

Why do pioneers enjoy passion but seldom prosper financially? For those who follow them, it’s usually the opposite. The difference between becoming a business professional and becoming an artist. Would you rather work for an employer who runs his business strictly on financial performance or one that practices corporate compassion, economic ethics and financial fairness? How I once got hired as a door-to-door salesman. Why do some people believe that anything sensual that two bodies wish to do with one another consensually, even adultery, is just fine? But also that everything voluntarily financial that two consensual people wish to do with one another, such as buying and selling goods or services, requires government licensing, regulating and taxing? What is the better way to start a marriage: Love or Legality? Why socialism is the natural default political doctrine for decent people without God. The Business Roundtable and why the heads of major companies committed moral surrender. Happy warriors are not tennis balls floating down the gutter of life.Find "America’s Real War" at https://rabbidaniellapin.com/product/americas-real-war-paperback/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Are you ready for some serious soul stretching?  What kind of hitch-hiker would I stop for late at night?  Does human suffering prove that God is either impotent or cruel? Can people be good and decent without a belief in God? Does God and His Bible require people to renounce passion and exclude fun from their lives? Is belief in evolution a religious or scientific issue? Does God prefer poor people to rich? Science is terrible at telling us how to believe and horrible at informing us how to behave. It is not even much good at explaining things like gravity or colors or language. But it is outstanding at describing. Formulae, equations and theories all attempt to describe physical phenomena but never to explain them. Why didn't Einstein like the Big Bang Theory? Happy warriors are like salmon—we’re okay with swimming against the current. Just because the masses have been hypnotized and the crowds have been indoctrinated doesn’t change our beliefs or our behavior. Three cheers for happy warriors. This is the happy warrior’s textbook https://rabbidaniellapin.com/product/americas-real-war-ebook/ that I believe I wrote with Divine assistance.

Happy Warriors are not tennis balls floating down the gutter of life, no, we tackle each of life’s jobs with joy and happiness and with passion and optimism. Election 2020! Voting for president is one of those jobs this year. This show is always about the things you really care about, like Family, Finances, Fitness & health, Faith, and Friendships; and today, we explore the Permanent Principles that shape our national politics. Hear the story of my background, the SoCal congregation I planted, my marriage, and the American Alliance of Jews and Christians. -(www.AAJC.org)- Learn why 75% of American Jews will vote for Biden and what that means. Why do many female concert pianists dress provocatively while male musicians dress sedately. How many Jews are there really in the United States?  And how many Muslims? I recall my first-ever speech to a Christian audience in 1995. How do they count Jews? Only 40% of American Jews have visited Israel. Which American Jews have abandoned the faith of Abraham and adopted, as a belief system, the dogmas of the Democratic Party? How many Bible-believing Jews are there in the United States? There is a book I want you to look at: "America’s Real War", because it lays out the Permanent Principles of political change as it is occurring today. Why is America a Christian nation? And how can denying the truths of your nation’s founding harm you?Find "America’s Real War" at https://rabbidaniellapin.com/product/americas-real-war-paperback/ Learn more about your ad choices.

On this show, we discuss the things you really care about. Like a foul-smelling bubble of noxious gas rising up from a cesspool, four hideous words coming out of your mouth, or even lurking in your heart, can ruin your life. Those who allow this toxic phrase into their lives can survive only by resorting to the narcotic of the lazy mind: slogans. They end up like the oh-so-very progressive Seattle woman, Emily, who couldn’t force herself to feel attracted to her boyfriend who dressed in ladies’ frilly frocks. The secret of beauty—What distinguishes beautiful faces from ugly ones? Even tiny babies prefer beautiful faces. Who is to blame if you save too little and spend too much? The TSA is bigger than many well-known American cities and does very limited good. Going through a TSA checkpoint is like the final stages of a bad marriage—Too much intimacy with too much hostility. Who is to blame if you eat too much and exercise too little? How Christianity spread across Europe in the middle ages and banished barbarism from Rome. The great naval battle of Lepanto on October 7, 1571 that ended Muslim sea power in the western Mediterranean. The best thing to do today that will ensure tomorrow being much better than yesterday.

New York to London: 1800-25 days; 1900-5 days; 2000-5 hours. What else changed in that period? White settlers in Africa and America did many bad things but that doesn’t turn the natives into saints. Like poverty, suffering confers no moral virtue. Susan Lapin won’t listen to this part of the program where I describe what Africans did to fellow Africans and what the Iroquois tribes of Native America did to the Algonquin tribes. No massaging you with warm butter in this show.  Only humans torture and torment for entertainment and pleasure. No animals do so. You’ll be surprised when I tell you what this proves. Is the titanic cultural struggle tearing apart American society really between the Barbarians and the Bible Believers? If you associate the words ‘underclass’ and ‘black’ you’ve been indoctrinated into believing a lie. In this show, you will learn about the white underclass and the behavior, lifestyle, and culture that condemn you to poverty regardless of the color of your skin. The one factor that unifies all the rioters regardless of their race, class, or gender. Having a job is more usefully educational than attending 11th or 12th grade at a GIC. The Biblical value of work and why we do it. What exactly makes someone unemployable?

As a Happy Warrior myself, if I contracted Covid-19, here’s why I’d immediately take hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) with azithromycin. But wait! Didn’t the Veterans’ Administration, The New England Journal of Medicine and Lancet all claim it to be a dangerous medication? America used to be ruled by you and your elected representatives. Now you are ruled by unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats, experts, intellectuals, scientists, and political appointees. Who were the “magicians” mentioned in the Bible? What really causes Californian forest fires? (Hint: It isn’t global warming.) The New York Times insists that black underrepresentation among the 1,000 most powerful Americans is proof of bigotry. What does that say about white and Asian underrepresentation in basketball and football? And if you really want to play this silly game, what would the NYT say is the reason for Jews being 10 times overrepresented in their list of 1,000 powerful people? Those blue masks you wear…they allow particles as big as 40 micrometers to penetrate easily. But the Covid-19 virus molecule is 0.1 micrometers, which is only 1/400 the size of the particles that get through easily. In other words, masks do no good at all. In fact, they harm. So why are you wearing them? Happy Warriors are not tennis balls floating down the gutter of life so we allow nobody else to make our own lives’ operational decisions.

Propaganda in a tyranny means you must accept what “they” tell you. If you question, you will be punished. (Or be called a ‘denier’.) Science means constantly questioning and evaluating different theories and explanations. Forget biological determinism and perpetuation of the species. Men and women meet and mate in order to fulfill God’s plan to combat loneliness. Forget Economics 101 and how money and markets apportion scarce resources. Money is part of God’s plan to combat loneliness. Six ways in which marriages and marketplaces are identical. Two interviewers from Forbes ask me many of the questions you would ask me if we sat down together over coffee. Is serving God the same as serving your customer/boss/client? Why I prefer the ambitious person wanting to make money over the individual wanting to do “public service”. Why stock markets were invented in England and Holland and not in The Ivory Coast and Bangladesh.

Happy Warriors are not tennis balls floating down the gutter of life. We embrace the struggle and we renounce relaxation. And, above all, we make ourselves happy. Always. Your rabbi explains why you can learn tennis or race car driving and cooking or statistics regardless of your financial status or your friendships. Can you really be a respected philosopher and, at the same time, a repugnant individual? Why it matters that, of the 20 greatest philosophers of history, 15 of them never raised children. Can you be a spreadsheet wizard and a crook, or a highly paid family and marriage counselor and a loathsome spouse? Realize that your identity is based, not on what you know, but on who you are, and who you are depends on your beliefs and values. The 3 areas in which you involuntarily reveal what sort of person you really are. Want to learn celestial navigation or how to make a quilt? Easy. Your teacher won’t ask you any questions about your life. But if you want help in one of these: Finances, Friendships, Faith, Family or Fitness, a good teacher will want to know much about your status in the other four. Your rabbi explains just why that is and how it works, and in this episode, there is no massaging you with warm butter. Only the truth. The timeless truths of ancient Jewish wisdom.

My answer to the one question I get more often than any other: What is the secret to __________? Being a specialist is quite relaxing, but being the captain of the ship, responsible for operational decisions, now that is stressful. The usefulness of lists. The one problem with America according to:  (a) The Democrat Party: President Trump.  (b) B(urn), L(oot), M(urder): Racism. (c) Bernie Sanders: Wall Street. Well, is there one problem or 3? How a Jewish rabbi in Lithuania in 1925, who was a teacher of my teacher’s teacher, knew that Sigmund Freud’s newfangled idea about human consciousness was wrong. The almost irresistible appeal of unity; how we are drawn to one. Do you wish you could believe and trust the World Health Organization? Yeah, me too. You can’t of course but we explore why we wish it worked. The naïve faith Leftists have in the United Nations? Yes, that too. One of life’s most useful tips: How to control your feelings. Happy Warriors learn to increase happiness with these two tips discussed in the show. Further material to gain understanding https://rabbidaniellapin.com/product/the-biblical-blueprint-set-instant-download/  Happy Warriors never want me to massage them with warm butter.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Happy Warriors are not tennis balls floating down the gutter of life. We control our lives and that includes taming our bodies. It would be hard to think of anything you could do immediately to improve your health than eating less. But darn! Eating just feels so good. And, above all, I am SOO hungry. Ever wondered why medical literature before 1962 had almost no mention of peanut allergies and eating disorders? Because they didn’t have those things then, that’s why. In this show we’re not exploring nut allergies, but I do explain exactly why, nowadays, very many young people do suffer from eating disorders. Understanding the reason will help you regain your once svelte figure. Why should COVID-19 cause Americans to add weight? Why should a bunch of barbarians rioting in the streets cause you to eat more? But they do. Here’s what to do about it. In our bodies, parts of which are generally uni-functional (we don’t smell AND hear with our ears), why are our mouths multi-use appliances? We eat and speak with the same facial orifice (but never at the same time!) Learn how to eat until you’re fulfilled, not until you are filled. One difference between breast-feeding a baby and bottle feeding it. How blind people eat differently and the three steps you can take to eat properly and stop overeating.
