Ep 21 | We Bond Powerfully Through Both Marital & Financial Relationships: How They Differ

Why does adultery inflict greater pain and suffering than corporate closures and job loss? In Governmental Indoctrination Centers (GIC’s), formerly known as public schools, little children are prematurely sexualized through a propaganda campaign known as Sex Education or Sex Ed. The argument is that children are “going to do it anyway” so we should teach them how to do it safely. Now, your Rabbi asks, let’s also have 'Gun Ed' since we know that children are “going to do it anyway”, that is play with firearms, we should teach them how to do it safely. Here's why this will never happen in your lifetime. When a policeman shoots a black man, without knowing anything else we instantly know that he did it because he was a racist. When a homosexual is attacked in a bar during a drug deal gone bad, everyone knows without doubt that those attacking him did so out of their hate for homosexuals. But when a fervent Muslim, steeped in the theology of jihad, murders a westerner while yelling "Allahu Akbar", authorities spend months futilely trying to discover his motivation. Inevitably they give up or ascribe it to ‘workplace violence’. Why can’t the Left accept the flaws of followers of Islam at face value? Furthermore, the Left considers Bible-believing Jews and Christians to be greater threats to peace and progress than murderous Muslims. Why is this? Whatever two adults do sexually is not government's business, but when two adults engage in a free, consensual, economic or business transaction; government regulates it, controls it, taxes it, maligns it or prohibits it. The Left gives a free pass to adulterers who ruin lives while they focus their fury on business professionals who improve lives. Why is our appetite for sex so understandable while our appetite for money so demonized? Finally, we reveal the difference between the two repugnant revolutions, French and Russian, and the two benign revolutions, English and American, that still shape our century.

Ep 20 | For Sale! Your Own Roadmap to Reality. Priceless But Free

The first time in human history that children knew more than their parents and how parents evade their responsibility to their children.  The 25th word in the Bible, religious holidays and modern science.  Surprising secrets of the casino’s roulette wheel. How humans got to planet earth.  If you tell me your answer to this one question, I would know how you feel about wealth & poverty, marriage, taxation, public education and mental health.

Ep 19 | The Terrible Tragedy of Discovering the Truth Too Late

A tragedy is something that causes suffering, distress and destruction. A terrible tragedy is a tragedy that could have easily been prevented. Ancient Jewish wisdom can prevent those tragedies. When people marry without knowledge of how the world REALLY works, it’s usually just as tragic as when a pilot takes off in an airplane type for which he’s had inadequate training. When people choose careers or start families without any knowledge of the ages, it is nearly always a terrible tragedy. It didn’t have to happen and it is almost impossible to repair. Young people are vulnerable to immoral professors spewing propaganda partially because they have no knowledge of the ages. If a 23-year-old techie tells me that super-injection is now possible in single material semiconductors, I am astounded at his knowledge and assume that he’s right. If that same individual tells me that men can become women or that the profit motive is obnoxious, I weep at his folly. If we lived for 1,000 years, by the time we reached middle age we’d all be quite smart. Tragically, many dreadful mistakes foisted upon us by a revolutionary and progressive culture only get debunked after we’ve ruined our lives following them. (Hope you’re listening, young women!) Why talking to an old person could be the best afternoon you’ve spent in years. We used to be led by ‘Elders”—today we praise some very stupid politicians because they’re young and fresh-faced. New is a useful marketing word, but it has nothing to do with truth. The gift of ancient Jewish wisdom is living as if we all had 1,000 years of life experience. Learn more about your ad choices.

Ep 18 | Find Your Way to God, Gold & Greatness Using a Microscope, Never a Telescope

Is everybody’s work equally valuable and important? How can you tell the difference? I respect all humans who behave consistently with being created in the image of God, but do I respect all career choices, occupations, and professions equally? No, of course not, and neither do you. There are several key things to bear in mind when choosing a career path. What attributes does sprinter Usain Bolt share with an oil rig worker and a dentist? What does a professor of race and gender studies share with a graffiti artist? A surprising number of people think that the moon landing in 1969 was a hoax, but what actual benefits did it yield? Do you know what a black hole is? Do you care? Do you know what a dental implant is? Do you care? Most things you care about came about because of microscopes, not telescopes. Why do you probably respect mechanics and musicians more than astrophysicists and artists? Lastly, you should be finding your connection to God through an ear rather than through a galaxy.

Ep 17 | How You Can Identify Your Personal Egypt & How You Can Escape It

Many of today’s problems are the result of bad choices you made yesterday. They put you in your own Egypt. Want to see the mugshot of your worst enemy? Easy — look on your driver’s license. It’s relatively easy to conceive a male baby: It only takes a minute or two. It’s a little harder to give birth to a male baby: it can take several hours. But it is a whole lot harder to turn a male baby into a son. That takes years. It takes years of knowing what to do and doing it. Societies that fail to produce sons, but rather, only produce male human beings is a doomed society. Sons come into existence only after years of fathers and mothers working together. Lessons from Passover… “When your son will ask you…”. Discovering the name of the person most responsible for your failures and disappointments and turning things around is crucial. Who really enslaved the Israelites? Who enslaved you? Seeing the future is the only way to escape the past. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ep 16 | Untold Stories Surrounding the Notre Dame Fire: Muslims? An Ancient Curse?

Although riots slightly damaged Notre Dame Cathedral in the 16th century and the infamous French Revolution inflicted a little damage in the 18th, this fire was the worst damage the beautiful cathedral has ever sustained. In reporting on the Notre Dame fire, the news media ignored the many thousands of attacks, desecrations and vandalizations of European churches every year. Yes, thousands! And almost all perpetrated by Middle Eastern or North African immigrants or their children. There was even an attempt to blow up Notre Dame with a car bomb in 2016. The convicted Islamic terrorist, Inez Madani, was sentenced to eight years in jail just 72 hours before the Notre Dame fire broke out. There was another big fire right in front of Notre Dame on June 17th, 1242. People burned about 25 wagon loads of irreplaceable Hebrew manuscripts. That fire burned for two days. Is there a connection? Catholic-Jewish relations back then weren’t what they are today. Happily, times have changed. Also, Airbus is almost a part of European government, yet Boeing isn’t a part of American government? We explore reasons for the price of Boeing stock, and they include bribery and corruption. Try bribery and corruption using the Baltimore city government model. Finally, why do news media lean so far to the left, and why does journalism breed envy and resentment? Enjoy!

Ep 15 | How to be Happy: Form Strong Family Bonds and Make Money

There is a real reason why airlines have become so much more punctual in keeping to their schedules than they used to be. Has global warming expanded the American continent, pushing Los Angeles and New York further apart? Amazon and the internet are not the only culprits killing off suburban shopping malls; a far more destructive force is imperiling the very existence of your local shopping mall. Is it true that atheism is growing and spreading like wildfire, consuming Bible-based Judeo-Christian faiths in its insatiable lust for secularizing the world? I am surprised you even ask! But I have the answer for you. One thing that is definitely increasing is the number of young Americans taking anti-depressant drugs. Finally, does secular liberalism make societies rot?

Ep 14 | Hey Brides! Both is Best, but if You Must Choose, Money Beats Love

Men who marry moneyed maidens hoping to get their hands on her wealth deserve what they get, which most times won’t be good. But girls marrying guys with gold is quite different. Men who make money reveal much of their positive masculine desirability whereas a lady’s bank balance reveals nothing of her feminine desirability. Why do men in uniform fascinate females? Also, learn why, in 1970, AMC paid $75 Million for little more than rights to the Jeep car name. Other topics include: Yin & Yang, Grand Coulee Dam, and why weddings happen after men propose to women (not the reverse). The Beatles lied in 1967 when they sang “All You Need is Love”. The real meaning of the Biblical jewelry when he gave her gold at that desert well where Rebecca was betrothed to Isaac, sight unseen, and the future of Israel was assured. When he says, “I love you”, does he mean it the same way as when he says, “I love roast turkey”? A great Russian novelist accurately wrote “Money is coined liberty”. A financially ambitious man is far more likely to love freedom than a community activist, a politician, or a government bureaucrat. A great American novelist accurately wrote “The man who damns money has obtained it dishonorably but the man who respects it has earned it.” Such a man is a far better bet for a good woman than a man who can do no more than express pretty feelings about her, which, in truth, camouflage selfish intent.

Ep 13 | My Two Great Gifts to You: No More Bad Decisions & No More Procrastination

Many in the Bush family (sorry, I mean dynasty) with their long association with the Republican Party, admitted that they voted for Hillary Clinton in November 2016.  So did dozens of other well-known journalists, pundits, policy-wonks, and political-hangers-on who had long been famous as conservative Republicans.  All these intelligent people decided that Donald Trump was so terrible that Hillary and the four more years of Obamaville that she’d bring to the country would be a preferable fate for America.  Some have now admitted that they were wrong.  Many have not.  My question: What explains how intelligent people can make really stupid decisions?  I ask you to recall your own bad decisions and we'll analyze how they happen.  In this show, we allow ancient Jewish wisdom to explain how easily this can happen to you, how to recognize it in yourself and how to defend against it.  Now for the most valuable part of this show: the Biblical secret for overcoming procrastination and how to use it in your life.  You know that one thing you have been putting off doing? That one thing which would really enhance your life if you could just get around to doing it?  But you procrastinate.  Well, here’s how to put procrastination behind you. Now!

Ep 12 | Does “The Swamp” Include Defense Contractors Endangering American Security?

I was wrong last week. The 737 MAX should have been promptly grounded on March 11th, 2019. Was history being written in the Ethiopian desert and off the coast of Indonesia? Sometimes history is written in just a few days. Are we witnessing the opening moves of America’s slide from #1 to #2 in commercial aviation? Why would the U.S. Justice Department launch an almost unprecedented criminal investigation of Boeing? The crashes of Lion Flight 610 and Ethiopian Flight 302 tragically killed 346 people. Could subsequent events prove even more costly? Were they really accidents or were they completely avoidable consequences of corrupt collaboration between corporate interests and government. Should it worry us that America’s new Secretary of Defense worked for Boeing for thirty years? Boeing’s stock price should tell us something profound. Like Europe’s Airbus, China is waiting to scoop up worldwide twin-engine single-aisle passenger aircraft business. What if America’s FAA has irreparably lost international prestige? Why did Boeing put two huge modern engines on a fifty year-old air frame? Why did they decide to omit information from instruction manuals about a computer system that can override the pilot? You wouldn’t buy a car that did that. Is Western defense and American security being held hostage by “The Swamp”? Also, I reveal my prediction about when the 737 MAX will again take to the skies and tell you why you will remember the first quarter of 2019 as history-making in American politics.
