The RDL Podcast with Rabbi Daniel Lapin

How a nice, ordinary middle-class, young guy successfully sued a wealthy older doctor for seducing his wife into a tawdry affair.  No, your rabbi hasn’t joined the staff of People Magazine, but here is one reason why Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward’s marriage worked and Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston’s didn’t.  Remember when female flight attendants (that would be ‘stewardesses’ to you old-timers!) were all young and beautiful?  Let me tell you what happened to many of them.  A good woman is not easy to find but her value vastly exceeds not only rubies but also the value of women with advanced academic degrees.

When a group of people form a society, whether it is the Pilgrims, the Oneidas, the Shakers, the Communists or any other groups, one thing they have to decide is how they are going to organize money. How will people eat and how will the organizers (government) seize its monetary needs? Money is an interface between physical and spiritual. People often fail to recognize the role that morality plays in economic policy. In this show, we examine the questionable morality of the Income Tax and little known facts of its arrival.

A vital secret of successful living is moving on from the past, no matter how horrible, evil, unjust, or immoral that past was.  Some of the best ways to live successfully is to  avoid financial dependence on the largesse of government or charity, become a great spouse and a great parent, find faith, and develop a circle of like-minded friends. This works for those born with a silver spoon in their mouths just as it does for those who have endured great hardship, even pain in their pasts. But the best way to sabotage a life is to dwell on past evils as explanations and excuses for one’s victimhood.

I have two dear friends (whose names I mention in the show) each of whom hosts a national radio show and each of whom were ‘Never-Trumpers’.  I didn’t understand them then. I don’t understand them now.  But they are both good and honorable men.  I decided to come up with ten truths that they couldn’t contradict and which would leave them both incapable of explaining satisfactorily why they voted against President Trump.

President Trump defended the West and was reviled as a racist.  That slur is nothing but  a meaningless bludgeon. Can’t tell the difference between the West and the Rest?  Just try using a public bathroom in Bahawalpur and then do the same in Boston. Still not sure?  Okay, time to get dramatic.  Break your leg on the street in Lagos, and then do the same (the other leg) in London.  Getting the idea?  Just try buying a home or starting a business in Teheran and then try it in Tallahassee.  So if the West deteriorates and dies, it is not only bad for you and me,  it is even worse for millions of other human beings.
