The RDL Podcast with Rabbi Daniel Lapin

Why did Senator Gaylord Nelson and his comrades pick April 22nd 1970, the 100th birthday of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin? Why were many speakers and supporters of the first Earth Day known communists? Why do so many positions of environmentalists and climate change fanatics hurt the economic and military interests of the United States? It’s all quite simple. Allow me to explain.

This past Tuesday night I was brought to a campus near San Francisco to deliver a lecture entitled “Making Money is Moral”. The program was put on by the outstanding Young America’s Foundation who own and run President Reagan’s ranch near Santa Barbara where they put on fantastic programs for school and college young people. I got about a third through the speech before the protestors got themselves sufficiently organized to begin their disruption. You know how it can be a little scary when you sense you are in the presence of huge forces over which you have no control? It’s how you feel when you find yourself in a massive crowd that is turning ugly. It’s how decent Germans felt in the five years from 1933-1938 as they watched the pillars of their culture collapse. Well, this podcast is about the speech and what Susan Lapin and I experienced this past Tuesday night on a university campus in California.

If we were souls without bodies, we’d have no appetites. If we were bodies without souls we’d have no worries. But we have both so we may as well understand how these three appetites really work. Just think, if everybody could control them, no obesity, no illegitimacy, less crime, and a thriving economy.

“…In the rich man’s world.” So sang ABBA and so another generation of young music lovers was corrupted. Obviously that rich man took it from all those who are now poor as a result. By misleading an entire generation into believing that the world is all physical/material, money is transformed into something evil with which only government can be trusted. Instead of a vehicle for individual independence, money (Just like guns) is bad for ordinary private citizens to own. Presenting a prescription of hope for the future.

Like pirates buying their way back into polite society by building a church, today anyone who has made a few dollars is expected to purchase penitence by ‘giving back to society’ regardless of what this says the donor was doing to society while making his money in the first place.

I just saw Niagara Falls for the first time! I felt like remaining there for hours absorbing the overwhelming might of the sight. But not yielding to what I felt like but doing what I needed to do (record this show) was the right thing to do. We all make the mistake of believing that our feelings are all important and also all powerful. Marriages end because “I no longer feel anything for her”. Affairs begin because “I feel so wonderful when I’m with her”. Businesses fail when one person explodes in anger against his partner. Anger is another feeling. How about worry and stress? More feelings you need to learn to control. Fortunately in this show I make accessible ancient Jewish wisdom’s timeless and true technique for controlling feelings rather than having them control us.
