Optimism is the fuel that propels you to achievement in family, friendships, and yes, in finance. Yet many suffer the pain of pessimism and have no idea of how to defeat it. People are imprisoned by pessimism and prevented from finding their destiny. Learn to develop your optimism and acquire one of the most powerful tools of success. Pessimism inflicts even more damage upon societies and nations. No kids? No water? No electricity? Yes, that is all caused by national pessimism. So stop being part of the problem and be part of the solution. And become happy and successful while you’re at it! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The cultural heirs of Bach and Beethoven are banging bongo drums in Boston recreating the sounds of the jungle in the shadow of the ivory towers of civilization. Banging bongos takes little talent other than a basic grasp of the primal rhythm of sex. Playing the piano, whether Beethoven or Boogie Woogie takes talent and discipline. Israel is a symbol of civilization-the cultural elites of North America and Europe prefer barbarism. But not in their own lives. Flirting with barbarism gives their safe and predictable existences a touch of glamour, a hint of danger, and a rewarding sense of the avant-garde. The sexual appeal of barbarism. Batty ideas from the Washington Post and Georgetown Law School. 4 Strategies of Success. Not 3 and not 5.Follow Rabbi Daniel Lapin on Twitter @DanielLapinMore information on The American Alliance of Jews & Christians here: www.rabbidaniellapin.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Many more people die in natural disasters like floods and earthquakes in Haiti, Asia, and Africa than in western countries. Does this mean God sends more calamities to non-Christian countries? Yes, Volkswagen should pay a fine, but to government regulatory agencies or to the car owners who may have been affected? Which VW car to buy now. Climate change has become a religion. Heretics, blasphemers and those who challenge the ‘church’ of climatology must be punished. The administration lied: today Russia owns the Middle East. Just why is Europe committing suicide-the ghosts of WWII. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In first half of show I explain from Jerusalem what Israel will do about Iran’s nuke progress and how it could do it. Also what Israel could do about its mounting civilian casualties at the hands of Muslim terrorists but won’t do. Susan and I visit the home where elderly parents were mourning the recent murder of their son and daughter-in-law. In the next room sat their four orphaned grandsons ages 9, 7, 4, and 4 months. In the second half I mourn how people today are judged on credentials and contacts not on character and culture. We show that the emperor is naked in the wonderful world of modern art where degenerate drivel and maudlin outpourings of diseased egos masquerades as art. How the abolition of standards and the assassination of objectivity imperils your livelihood, jeopardizes your family and threatens our nation. Learn more about your ad choices.

Ever wondered why liberal elites like academics, politicians, and actors respect and revere Islam even though they would be executed under Sharia? Ever wondered why male humans have nipples but male mice and male horses do not? Ever wondered why men must perform actively (in every way) but women less so? Ever wondered why for every four men trying to become women, only one woman wants to become a male? Ever wonder how and why Stockholm syndrome works? And why so many Stockholm women are blond? I thought not; but your rabbi ties all this together and answers all questions as he reveals how the world REALLY works. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A glimpse into Lapin family life and how a little girl who could only do arithmetic if there was a dollar $ign in front of the numbers became a successful Israeli entrepreneur. Boys and girls are so different that we need separate sports teams and leagues for male and female players of tennis, soccer, wrestling and pretty much all else. Yet boys and girls are so similar that they can go to war together as comrades in combat units of the United States military. Well, are they the same or not? So why the insanity around gender issues? Why are those who break gender boundaries the heroes? Why must little girls tolerate big boys in their restrooms but so-called transgenders should have to tolerate nothing. Your rabbi reveals how the world REALLY works. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Invasion by immigration! Mexicans go to America not Venezuela. Libyans go to Italy not Somalia. Syrians go to Germany not Qatar. You know why? Generous welfare benefits is why. So the solution is…? But wait! Surely Bible instructs to treat the ‘stranger among you’ as one of you? (Leviticus 19; Deuteronomy 10) Rabbi Daniel Lapin explains the Hebrew meaning of those words. Like Country singer Kip Moore, your rabbi tells you, “Somethin' 'Bout A Truck” and finally the only solution to America’s incarceration crisis-making prisons redundant.

Who’s drowning in the Mediterranean? Europeans desperate to reach the Middle East & Africa or MENA residents trying to reach Europe? Why is western civilization everyone’s goal? Yes I know Western countries are richer and freer, but why? How come 97% of discoveries in science, technology & medicine of past 1,000 years occurred in Western Civilization? Yes, Fred, I know gunpowder was invented in China—I explain that. Only countries with monogamous marriage developed civilization. No exceptions. When sex is surrounded by rules, rituals, & restraint, intelligence increases in that culture. The reverse is also frighteningly true. Why some countries flourish while others fail. A clue: some countries encourage property ownership—others don’t. What you should tell your children and what you should omit. The impending extinction of the European Union.

Do any of the 435 national legislators on Capitol Hill know of any moral framework defending national integrity? Does any State Dept. bureaucrat know of any moral framework validating border control? It sure doesn’t look like it, does it? And if you don’t believe in the morality of it, how can you accomplish it? No decent person can succeed at any enterprise that deep in his heart he considers morally reprehensible. Deep down they and their European counterparts believe that any South American has the right to live in Texas or Arizona and they believe that any MENA (Middle East North Africa) resident has the right to reside in France, Italy, Germany or anywhere else in Europe. Yet, there is one moral response to uninvited immigrants; one blindingly clear and compelling approach to the problem that is entirely moral and which your rabbi imparts in this episode detailing what happened when they poured into his house.Follow Rabbi Daniel Lapin on Twitter @DanielLapinMore information on The American Alliance of Jews & Christians is available here: www.rabbidaniellapin.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

“Income inequality” really America’s most serious challenge? C’mon, who believes this bilge-water? Stupid Seattle merchant believed it. The one thing that U.S. business schools NOT teaching? How to start a business! A tale of 2 cars: Lexus vs. Infiniti. Australia taking on Communist China? Underwater? With WWII military technology! Do you know why there were never coal-powered airplanes? Do you care? You should. Hey guys, start crying and reduce your testosterone. If you really want to. Liberalism’s war on the west and hysterical hatred of nuclear power. The dignity and morality of business. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
