Ep. 42 | Go See The New Movie About Abortionist Kermit Gosnell | However You Vote

If Americans in favor of abortion  knew some truths about the abortion industry, would they change their minds?   Is that fear  causing suppression of the new Gosnell movie, “Gosnell: The Trial of America's Biggest Serial Killer”?  Kermit Gosnell was a cruel and callous murderer operating an abortion mill staffed by unqualified teenagers.  Why wasn’t he subject to the health inspections that even dentists and nail salons endure? How could he kill babies and adults in disgustingly filthy surroundings for so long?   Susan joins me to discuss the movie and why, even if you don’t want to, you should see it.  We also talk about why women who starve themselves because they wrongly think they are fat, are appropriately treated medically, but men who think they are women are indulged.  What does “therefore choose life” actually mean in the Bible.  Does revoking Roe v. Wade make abortion illegal? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ep. 41 | The Bad News & The Good News Is That You Still Must Go To Work This Monday Morning

We're all fallible outside our areas of expertise, even famous heart-surgeons, and billionaires. The only way the government can give some people money is by first taking it from others. It does so by imposing confiscatory rates of taxation and by printing money. Why both activities leave you with less of your own money. Many intelligent and accomplished people who lack all wisdom have been predicting the end of work since 1801; tech advances will put millions out of work. Why they always have been wrong and always will be wrong.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ep. 40 | America’s Real War Is A Religious War Between Two Incompatible Faiths

Virtually all political  debate, conflict, and hostility today is between the state religion of the American government and ruling classes, namely Secular Progressive Fundamentalism and the more conservative outlook springing from the Bible-based Judeo-Christian tradition.  This religion, SPF,  has also been embraced by the European Economic Union and by almost all universities and educational systems. They worship the small ‘g’ of government.  On the other side is arrayed a loose alliance of citizens ranging from those who do not subscribe to any religion but resent the way that the Left forces its faith down their throats all the way to fervent Christian and Jewish Bible believers who turn to the big ‘G’ of  God.  The passage of time and events is making almost everyone become more fervent devotees of whatever side of the great cultural divide on which they have placed themselves. Secular Progressive Fundamentalism views the Biblically-based Judeo-Christian system as a terrible obstacle to progressive hegemony.  I view it as quite vital for the survival of civilization.  One of the most significant differences is that the SPF religion treats feelings as far more important than facts and the heart far more important than the head.  Find out what I discover when asking people I meet, “Where in the Bible do we find the verse, ‘And you shall surely follow your hearts!’?   How SPF and it’s listen-to-your-heart doctrine can really harm your life.

Ep. 39 | A Tyrannical State Frequently Destroys The Lives Of Law-Abiding American Citizens

Don’t be overwhelmed by today’s events in your business, family, or our politics. Seek understanding of the original causes. A tyrannical state, through hysterically emotional courtrooms, ruthlessly ambitious and corrupt prosecutors, and political-wind-sniffing judges, frequently destroys the lives of law-abiding American citizens. Sarah Good and 4 other innocent women were executed in Massachusetts 1692 for being witches! With no conviction ever, Ray Buckey spent 5 years of his life in jail in the Mc Martin preschool case in Southern California during the 1980s. Members of the Amirault family of Massachusetts spent even longer in jail for crimes they never committed in the shamefully notorious Fells Acres Day Care Center case in the same decade.  In 1987, Judge Robert Bork had his career and reputation severely damaged by U.S. senators led by Ted Kennedy preaching sanctimoniously to Judge Bork and denouncing him for imperiling the lives of women.  This, less than 20 years after Kennedy had killed Mary Jo Kopechne.  In 1991 Judge Clarence Thomas was subjected to what he called a ‘high tech lynching’ with senators destroying his reputation on the unsubstantiated accusations of one woman. What happened to Brett Kavanaugh on September 27th, 2018 was not unprecedented. The trampling of the constitution by very bad people in power has been going on for a very long time. Whether in business, families, or politics, watch the trend rather than just the event. A Powerful Permanent Principle: Seek out original causes of today’s disturbing events and above all, reduce the size and power of government.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Ep. 38 | Become One Person: Fix Your Finances, Friendships, Faith, & Family

“I do want to get married.  I just haven’t found the right girl yet” he said to me.  In this show you’ll hear what I said to him.  You will probably never guess when the right time is to start your child’s moral education. These are two of the questions I discuss in this show which is a speech I delivered in Dallas last Sunday.  I speculate on why I sound different when I speak to a live audience from how I usually sound on this show.  Some of the other questions I answer are these: why God chose Abraham. The surprising reason that Hitler and his Nazi war machine invaded Russia in summer 1941 instead of finishing off England. Did Hitler really never hear about Napoleon’s ill-fated attempt to do the same thing in 1812?  Can a multi-divorced person become a good marriage therapist?  The surprising four areas of human development that enable us to become fully integrated people.  How Bible study resembles landing a jet fighter on the deck of an aircraft carrier.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Ep. 36 | I Know You NEED Your Smartphone, But Has It Really Improved Your Life?

Isn’t technology wonderful? Sure; it’s given us marvelous medicines, instantaneous communication, & spectacular entertainment. But it’s also given us hackers who can steal our identities, bosses who expect responses from us at midnight, and a cornucopia of pornography. In other words, technology increases the possibility of good but it also amplifies the bad. Good societies use it to spread information and participation while rogue regimes use it to repress and control. Technology can assist good educators while it allows bad educators to distract their students. When did technology begin? What word in the Bible provides tech’s moral edict? Have there been periods of faster and also slower technological transformation? What you need to know about the next ten years. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ep. 35 | King Solomon Learned Some Things From Ants. We Can Learn Others.

Why you could have once watched me demolishing a huge ants nest. Why an utterly chaste nun in Florida contracts an STD while hedonistic people in California seem to cavort concupiscently with impunity? How even untrue ideas spread across groups of people and through entire societies with almost virus-like effectiveness. How a Belgian rogue plagiarized a brilliant South African scholar. If the Internet and telephone systems are the country’s nervous system, what is its digestive system?

Ep. 34 | Does It Really Matter that Some People Believe Humans Are Animals and Animals Are Humans?

Why a large white llama wandered around the Lapin family’s dinner table. Why movements and organizations with no attractive young women involved are doomed. Does the animal rights movement attract young women? Are circuses, dolphin shows, and even zoos unethical? Who caused the changes in packaging for animal crackers? You don’t own your pet; you are a guardian to your animal companion. Admittedly it’s a sad choice but would you kill six bunny rabbits (or chimpanzees) in order to save the life of one child?  Not everyone agrees. You do not have to accept my definition of ethics.  The very real political peril caused by the animal rights movement. Toilet paper is unethical, really! Learn more about your ad choices.

Ep. 33 | Physical Intimacy & Money Are Really Two Elements Of The Force Of Attraction

The powerful attractions that most of us feel towards both physical intimacy and money are really no more than the two components of the force of attraction.  Both the pleasure of sensual fulfillment and the pleasure of acquiring money are attained only with the participation of another person.   Do you know anyone who doesn’t want to have more money? Do you know anyone who doesn’t want to have a joyous marriage and fulfilling family life?  There may be one or two outliers, but almost everyone we know, and we bet this is true for you as well, would like more income and great relationships. Just like making delicious omelets or performing delicate brain surgery, knowing exactly what you’re doing makes a successful outcome more likely.  And key to that is wrapping yourself around the shocking idea that male-female relationships and money are really just two sides of the same coin. How the Obama years indoctrinated millions of good people with bad ideas and infected them with destructive life strategies from which escape is almost impossible.  But there is one trapdoor.   In seeking marriage and money, most of us tend to separate the searches. We might go to the business section of the bookstore for one and the relationship section for the other. When the two do intersect, they are often at odds with each other. Will getting married interfere with my work? Will my work make my spouse resentful? Unify, resolve and connect.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ep. 32 | Let’s Face It! Everyone Needs Money. What If You Need A Little More? Or A Lot More?

Never mind Harry Potter, but is making money ‘stinking sorcery’?   Hey Kids!  It’s easy to describe the hard work your dad does if he’s a bus driver, a fireman, or a pilot.  But what if he’s a mortgage broker,  a recruiter, or an investment banker?  Does he make money by just talking on the phone all day? Sounds like fun. LeBron James plays basketball and Ron Johnson built the Apple stores in all the malls. Each made about $30M a year. Why did so many people say Ron Jonson was overpaid at Apple while everybody thought LeBron James earned every penny of his pay?  The spirituality of money.  Why did Los Angelinos destroy Jewish-owned stores in the Watts Riots of 1965 and then Korean-owned stores in the Rodney King riots of 1992?  What did Boeing’s Alan Mulally have that Ford so desperately needed? 3 effective spiritual strategies for increasing your financial revenue.
