The RDL Podcast with Rabbi Daniel Lapin

Hear one of our youngest Happy Warriors say, “How the world rrrrrreally works”. The same clowns who gave us destructive lockdowns and meaningless mask mandates spent $300 million per day! The one mistaken conviction that made American politicians and bureaucrats believe they could convert Afghanistan into Vermont. Almost no American diplomats have ever known a religious friend. Why you need a job with the International Monetary Fund. If you are thinking of marrying someone and all you know is that they have earned an advanced academic degree, run for your life. If you know their beliefs and values you have valuable information. How Vice President Kamala Harris terrified the Chinese government. How an important American institution just hired an atheistic rabbi. Enjoy a free glimpse into the Bible at https://www.wehappywarriors.com/scrolling-through-scripture-free-lesson . What does it mean that, in the last term, 3 out of 9 Supreme Court justices were Jewish? The worst cities in America in which to have a late night car breakdown. The mysterious link between suicide and living on handouts.

It gives me no pleasure to highlight the rapid decline of America as a world power. But how can I ignore the cataclysmic events of Afghanistan this week? I will not waste your time telling you what you already know about the buffoonish antics of the clowns in power. I won’t do that. But what I will do is identify the top ten mistakes made by the American government over the past 20 years culminating in this week’s debacle. I will then help you learn the important lessons their mistakes reveal about your life, your family, and your business. This Afghanistan fiasco parades the top ten mistakes that even smart people can make. It’s bad enough when these mistakes cause an international catastrophe, but it is actually even worse when these mistakes harm your life, your family or your business. This show identifies them and helps you insulate yourself from their calamitous effects. Enjoy a free glimpse into my program that once and for all teaches how and why the Bible is the most printed book of history and why it continues to shape civilization as it has for centuries at https://www.wehappywarriors.com/scrolling-through-scripture-free-lesson . I talk about the things that make me happy and why didn’t America get any of Afghanistan’s lithium?

The important question to always ask yourself. Face up to the influence of group pressure on what you thought was your opinion. Who is the bigger man, a man married to a man or a man married to a woman? The advertisement of bad ideas. Raise your children strategically; keep them out of GICS and teach them to speak Mandarin.  Do you know how many cars are produced in the United States? How about in China? Accepting new obligations is a doorway to growth. Enjoy a free glimpse into the Bible https://www.wehappywarriors.com/scrolling-through-scripture-free-lesson . Why so much resistance to exploring the Wuhan Virology Lab as the source of Covid? Some American jobs like climate scientist or professor of philosophy depend on credentials and connections. Other jobs like plumber, doctor, or numerically controlled machine tool operator, depend on competence. The former tend to vote progressive while the latter vote conservative.

How you answer the question that entitles this show will say a lot about whether you ever will have $5 Million. What produces more happiness, fun or work? Would you accept marital advice from a man who has never lived with a woman? But you might well accept car maintenance advice from a mechanic who has never owned a car. Would you take career advice from a man who has never held a job? But you might accept investment advice from an accountant who has much less money than you. Would any mom accept advice about how many children to have, from a woman who has never had children? The crucial difference between data and wisdom. Will the arrival of artificial intelligence and self-driving cars put millions out of work? Enjoy a free glimpse into the Bible https://www.wehappywarriors.com/scrolling-through-scripture-free-lesson Could you find as much meaning in leisure as in work? Which is more important; what you know or what you are? The ten measures of human greatness.

More Canadians were arrested for praying in Christian churches than were arrested for igniting, burning and destroying 56 Canadian churches recently. Canadians are also arrested for the slightest perceived offense against mosques, but not for destroying churches. Why do they hate Christianity? Why being a man is harder than being a woman in two important ways. The worlds of politics, entertainment, and sports were enthusiastic about Olympic gymnast Simone Biles dropping out on account because “It’s important to put mental health first.”  Would everyone have praised an NFL player who left a Super Bowl at halftime for the same reason? Maybe men and women are really very different? Why women never participated in the Olympic games in historic Greece. More battery bus follies and fun. The connection between mental health and God. Regardless of the turbulence swirling around your foundations, remain focused on your 5Fs and watch Episode 1 of Scrolling Through Scripture for free.

Politicians often depend on their religious belief systems when deciding how to use tax money confiscated from you. Mostly they follow the belief system known as Secular Fundamentalism whose sacred sacrament is Climate Change. How and why petroleum, coal, and natural gas came to be known as Fossil Fuels. The new, and Rabbi Daniel Lapin approved, name for those fuels. The sad, sacrilegious saga of Philadelphia’s battery buses. Why food prices are going up and the container size in which the food is packaged is going down. If I pay five men not to work, it doesn’t harm you but when the government does exactly the same thing, giving people money not to work, it robs you of your money. Your opinion may be valuable even if you have no university degree. Enjoy lesson one of Scrolling Through Scripture for free.

Headlines lie. United Airlines has NOT purchased 100 electric airplanes. So why do they lie? Why did Joseph Goebbels make German newspapers depict the Soviet Union as a small country in the fall of 1941? The Pilgrims took 66 days to cross the Atlantic in 1620. By 1838 the crossing took 15 days. But not with sails. Maybe electric planes will one day fly but probably not with lithium ion batteries. I can fill my car’s gas tank in 120 seconds. Recharging an e-car battery takes far longer; that won’t work for me. There is a colossal and widespread misunderstanding; please let me explain why electricity is not a substitute for natural gas, coal, petroleum, or nuclear. The two incompatible religious and secular perspectives on energy, you must choose one. Have you heard people disparage someone by saying, “He’s only doing it for the money”? Why they’re wrong. The terrifying danger of people trying to make the world a better place. It’s almost as frightening as giving people the power to solve public health issues.

Welcome, Happy Warrior. Yes, if you take full responsibility for your own happiness and you can face the fright at getting into a fight for what is right, you are a Happy Warrior. Success comes not only from having great ideas but also from the execution. In other words, you need both wisdom and also willpower. In this show, we discuss how to obtain both the knowledge of what to do and what not to do, and also the willpower to follow through. Many a procrastinator knows exactly what he should do and yet he fails.  How did Napoleon Bonaparte get from a little village in Corsica to become Emperor of the French Empire? At the age of 35! Remember I told you back in 2015 that autonomous car predictions were wildly optimistic? I told you so! Remember I told you back in spring 2016 that Donald Trump would win in November 2016? I told you so! Electric air taxis? No, predictions are wildly optimistic. I am telling you so. Remember The Flintstones? Remember George and Jane in The Jetsons? Their tech predictions were very good. Their marriage and family predictions, not so much. Resolve always to live as a Happy Warrior, focus on your 5F Renewal, and never exist passively like a tennis ball floating down the gutter of life!

Your rabbi tag teams with Susan Lapin as we recount how we met and reveal what our marriage looks like and how it has grown. How to know if he/she is ‘The One’. My comeuppance for the diabolical trick I cruelly played on a young bride and her mother-in-law. How important is it for a couple to share similar political views? Should one seek a person whose happiness becomes more important than one’s own? Is the secret to avoiding future problems just a matter of choosing the right person? In a time of extended longevity, doesn’t serial marriage make sense? After all, you’ve already got to know your spouse; time for someone new.

Why is it so important for authorities to know whether you own your home or rent? Are you better off living in a community of renters or a community of home owners? Why do tyrannical regimes all agree with Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto and oppose private property? Is it true that large investment companies are driving up house prices by buying up houses in America to rent? Are ruling elites trying to turn us all into renters? Where did the whole idea of owning property come from? Indigenous people never owned land or even thought about owning. John Lennon sang “Imagine no possessions”. The government’s war on private housing and suburbia.  Does the Bible have a view on whether owning your own home is better than renting? Last week’s story of the women’s gym generating electricity. Until 1962, America favored home ownership. The tax code showed that. Today, no longer. Why?
