The RDL Podcast with Rabbi Daniel Lapin

This show is about money and sex and how these two of mankind's most compelling urges reinforce one another and how they sublimate into marriage and commerce for the benefit of both individuals and society. A look at the TV sitcom of the 90s, Friends. How our relationships fall into 3 categories: Sexual (family); Non-Sexual (financial); and friends. The role objective obligation plays in relationships. What surprising behavior hurts your health to the equivalent of a pack a day of cigarettes and a large consumption of alcohol?

t’s an inconvenient truth for progressives that single people are seven times poorer than married people. America is now a two-caste system with marriage as the dividing line. In the high-income third of the population, children are raised by married parents; in the bottom-income third, children are raised by single parents. The main difference between the haves and the have-nots is that the haves tend to marry and give birth, in that order. The have-nots tend to have babies and remain unmarried. Marriage makes all the difference.American Alliance of Jews and Christianswww.RabbiDanielLapin.com Ancient Jewish Wisdom TV Show http://www.tct.tv/watch-tct/on-demand-ajw Podcast: https://soundcloud.com/rabbi-daniel-lapin-show Learn more about your ad choices.

Only Connect! Enhance every aspect of your life, Friendships, Finances, Faith, & Family by connecting more deeply with more people! Who helped me get my private pilot license? The power of patterns & learning the Morse Code in 15 minutes. We don’t write off people because they are imperfect or hold views we may despise. Each of us is a complex amalgam of good and bad. The good doesn’t get wiped out by the bad, neither does the bad get wiped out by the good. Samuel Morse was anti-Immigrant. He was also pro-slavery. And he painted beautiful pictures and changed the world with his invention. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Sadly, it is far easier to think of something utterly destructive to do which will ruin your life than it is to come up with something that will transform your life for the better. But here is one thing that you can start doing right away which will bring more unforeseen benefits into your life than you can imagine: Connect more deeply with more people. And I do not mean on Facebook!! Finding new friends and nurturing old ones is good for your health, for your family life and for your finances. Sounds easy but like baking, bookkeeping and ballet, it helps to know just how to do it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A woman has the right to tell a man who wants something from her, “No!” But a baker or photographer has no right to say “No!” to certain people who want something from them. Any pleasure that two or more consenting adults wish to take from one another’s bodies is perfectly acceptable. However, society gets very involved critiquing and sanctioning two consenting adults who choose certain economic transactions. Why is sex always fine whereas money is usually very not fine? We used to have free markets and sexual restraint. Today it is the reverse. How is that working out for you? Understanding the four revolutions that have shaped our world.

Prosecutors frequently build their reputations prosecuting business professionals and their companies. Often no wrongdoing is uncovered but by then it is too late. On college campuses women with morning-after regret frequently charge last night’s paramour with rape. Reputations ruined and careers destroyed. There is no presumption of innocence for business or for men in general. Our elitists, rulers and betters are waging war against the private sector institutions that create prosperity. They disparage men and masculinity though women do not climb up to repair refinery towers or dive down to cap underwater oil wells. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Don’t you sometimes feel you’re living through Alice in Wonderland? The things you once thought of as obviously true are no longer seen that way. Males can be females; making money equals taking money; profit is the same as plunder; America is an evil country but Sudan is good; and champions of cultures based on barbarism, superstition, tribalism and fanaticism lay guilt trips on Western civilization. What is going on? Communism/socialism/liberalism/progressivism are obliterating objectivity, that’s what’s going on. Reality is no longer what is evident to every eye, even those without advanced academic degrees. No, reality is now decreed by the high priests of media, academia, politics, entertainment and elitism. Where does that leave you? With your rabbi who reveals how the world REALLY works.

When people ask you to explain the difference between liberalism and conservatism, what do you say? If you start talking of size of government, taxation, etc., you sound wonkish and most people just tune you out. This week’s show offers a better solution. Liberalism loathes, detests, reviles and rejects objective reality. Women can be men and the other way around. Human nature? What’s that? Maternity leave for men? Why not? Government should bail out non-profitable companies if they make windmills. Climate change? Biggest problem facing our country. Nobody is ever complicit in their own misfortune especially blacks, homosexuals and Jews. A degree in Gender Studies is as valuable as one in Computer Science. If you reject how the world REALLY works, there is no limit to the idiocy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Would you refuse to date someone with poor credit? If you’re a single woman, the answer is likely to be yes. And you’d be right! If you’re a single man, surveys show you probably don’t much care. And you’d be right too. In this show I explain why. Susan Lapin joins me to discuss childlessness and I step into dangerous territory when I speculate on the success of Fifty Shades of Grey. The Mommy Wars and how childless female workers resent moms at work. Maternity leave for everyone, not just moms, of course. Stop calling your spouse ‘Mommy” or “Daddy”. How your job impacts your estrogen and testosterone levels and other rabbinic ruminations and ramblings. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Your 50 year-old male doctor has had, on average, nearly double the clinical experience than a female doctor of the same age. Most work 3 day weeks to men’s 5 or 6 day work weeks. Same goes for dentists and lawyers. Given that most professional competence is won not at school, but at work, explain why having a female cardiologist is a good idea? Just askin’.
