Rabbi Daniel Lapin

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are masculine guys. Obama, Biden, and Trudeau in Canada are feminine guys. I'm talking traits not biology. Margaret Thatcher and Golda Meir were masculine women. There are plenty of feminine women. A hundred percent masculine is as harmful for a guy as is zero percent masculine. Likewise for women. There are ways to change our traits (Not out biologies) and make ourselves more or less masculine/more or less feminine. Hear today's bonus podcast by being part of the Happy Warrior community.

The utopian wants to fly by banning gravity or ignoring it; The entrepreneur figures out how to overcome gravity with a dirigible balloon or an airplane or a rocket. My preteen utopian schemed and what I learned. Never break a fence until you know why it was built in the first place. Rabbi Daniel Lapin online courses like Scrolling Through Scripture is now 20% off www.RabbiDanielLapin.com.  Entrepreneurs are good at imagining the hidden potential of the real. This is much harder than imagining the unreal, which is one reason for why there are so many more utopians than inventors.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Secular Leftists cannot win wars. They trust paper more than they trust power. This is because Secular Leftism makes men and nations into women. Women prefer talking and negotiating to fighting. So do girly-nations. The United Nations is a feminine organization. Don't ever trust what politicians say. Watch what they do and you'll know all you need to know. Slogan for success: Say little and do much. Happy Warriors know that performance means more than excuses. Action over talk. Join our Happy Warrior community  https://www.wehappywarriors.com/   Bad news: men can become feminized and women can become masculinized. Neighborhoods without women at home, have no community and no connection.  Learn more about your ad choices.

That big red button near my steering wheel is marked START. It is worth studying. We nearly always know what our goal is; what we wish to achieve. We may even have a sense of what the journey has to be. But few of us recognize the power of The Start. Jeff Bezos knows exactly when he pressed the start button for his enterprise-Amazon. Do you? Make a start on your growth plan and join all the other Happy Warriors in the Happy Warrior community https://www.wehappywarriors.com/ The guys who launched Google; they know exactly when they pressed their start button. Do you? A START is like a runner's starting blocks, something to push against and launch yourself, hurtling into high speed. I know a chap who can't wait to have a baby. He's even building a beautiful hardwood crib for his future baby. He loves babies. But he doesn't love women; or a particular woman. He's never going to have a baby--he can't press START. A start is a commitment which many of us guys try to avoid. But no start means no commitment which means no destination and no success. The Bible begins "In the beginning...". Have you prepared your beginning; your START?   Learn more about your ad choices.

Billions of Bibles. Who cares? Why reading parts of the Bible can really help you, even if you don't believe in God. How does knowing why Moses and Joshua took off their shoes help your career?  How many actions did you take today that were motivated one hundred percent by spiritual rather than physical causes? (Clue: Clothing.) In 1993 all the smart elites knew that the entire world, every country, would adopt the American model of democratic liberalism. Soon, countries like Iran, Somalia, and Libya proved them quite wrong. What caused their mistake? Join our Happy Warrior community  https://www.wehappywarriors.com/  How encouraging group identities based on race, class, and gender helps government seize and retain full control of a population. Defend your unique individuality, it is the key to your freedom.   Learn more about your ad choices.

The big new thing in American business is the meteoric increase in the number of employees taking off days for mental health. Sounds like a good thing, right? Seems to afflict mostly the under 35 crowd. There is also a monumental increase in conversation about mental illness. A frightening large proportion of people are taking psychiatric medication in numbers never before seen. So, is mental disease on the increase? Or are normal challenges of a busy normal life being pathologized into mental disease? Especially since there is virtually no mental disorder with any detectable biological marker. Different doctors--different diagnoses and different treatment. Unbelievably large numbers of school boys are taking stimulants like Ritalin or Aderall. Does this reflect growing medical sophistication or a terrible wrong turn. What does your body have to do with all this? What does your soul have to do with all this? Join all the other Happy Warriors in the Happy Warrior community https://www.wehappywarriors.com/    Learn more about your ad choices.

Four questions asked by young women and the terrible answers they got. My parents resent the guy I have been dating for 4 years. My boyfriend is 5 years older than I and I am now 21. My parents are judging him because his parents divorced. That is not his fault. The old fashioned way I was raised makes me feel guilt whenever I have a bit of fun. I am not a slut; how do I stop feeling like one? I love my boyfriend very deeply. I am 17 and a virgin. I am not sure about how far to go but I don't want my boyfriend to leave me. Your rabbi analyzes the answers these sad young women are given and the pathos their gushing gratitude to the destructive hosts evokes.   Learn more about your ad choices.

The only really reliable polling on the 2024 election. This candidate has odds of winning of 60%. What people do with their money is more reliable indicator than what they tell pollsters and pundits.. The family triangle of strength Husband Wife Baby. But which way do the arrows go? Best way to see what women really want is to study Harlequin heroes. Harlequin sells about 150 million romance novels a year. Another romance novel, with excessively exaggerated themes, Fifty Shades of Grey sold over 100 million copies on its own. Your rabbi presents the characteristics of Harlequin Heroes.

This is the 500th episode of the Rabbi Daniel Lapin Show. I hope you find it worthy. Juneteenth--celebrating the execution of traitors Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, June 19, 1953. Here's an interesting exercise: How would you do as Robinson Crusoe, stranded on a remote and deserted island? Easier or harder if your spouse were there with you? How can the answer help you make more money? How come no Aztecs set up a colony in Barcelona? No Indonesians set up a colony near Amstierdam. No Nigerians set up a colony outside London. Why only the other way? Why did Europeans build fearsome firearms but the Chinese who invented gunpowder never used it in a canon. The West built cities with sanitation while the rest of the world foundered in filth. Was t race, environment, biology or something else? The secret sauce that built western civilization which the whole world desired and emulated. That made Europe leap ahead of the rest of the world starting in about the year 300. How can we use this secret sauce to improve our lives just as it did so conspicuously for Northern Europe. It doesn't have to be hard to make a living.  Learn more about your ad choices.
