Live With Love & More Money by Never Saying (or believing) "I Am What I Am" Nov 25, 2019

Show notes

How long would it take before a visitor to your home saw a shelf of books? Why this really matters. Want to change your actions? Simple! Change your beliefs. Your soul abhors a vacuum. Absent good beliefs, it will readily embrace bad beliefs and bad beliefs stimulate self-destructive actions. The real reason that certain courts no longer punish certain people for certain crimes. Being depraved is not the same as being deprived. True companionship comes from shared beliefs not shared skin color. Why actively nurturing a common belief system is a vital marriage maintenance program. Why Native American chiefs had names like Little Wolf, Red Horse, and Black Snake. Why merely regulating what people do is never sufficient for communist tyrannies; they have 'reeducation camps' in order to regulate what people believe. We have public schools (GICs) and universities (kindergartens) for the same reason.

The 3-Stranded Cord That Will Not Easily Break: Money, Marriage & ??? Nov 15, 2019

Show notes

Why almost every airplane built flies reliably, almost every ship built floats, why almost all skyscrapers erected, stand, but many marriages fail and many business start-ups fail. What is going on? The five reliable rules that govern both financial transactions and marital relations. Did you know that brands and franchises depend upon spiritual factors? What are they? The secret ingredient needed for effective partnerships that many mistakenly ignore. What do you teach the 20 year-old amnesiac who knocked at your door? How you can be sure that men will never prefer robots to women no matter how technologically advanced the 'female' robot becomes.

Improve Your Friendships, Finances, & Family By Syncing Your Body & Your Soul Nov 02, 2019

Show notes

If boys and girls are so interchangeable that boys can run, bike, and wrestle against girls, why does alcohol cause so much more havoc on girls' brains than on boys' brains? Why do far more girls deliberately cut their flesh than boys? Why does anyone cut themselves? Why do people pierce their tongues and belly buttons? The connection between the bloody observance of the Moslem cutting festival of Ashura and high school girls cutting their skins. Does the Bible prohibit suicide? Where? Old Latin-speaking monks referred to high alcohol content distilled liquors as 'spirits' because we use alcohol mostly to dull spiritual pain. When your rabbi felt attracted to another man's wife. Hurting children by depriving them of the words for describing spiritual pain. Why primitive tribes cut and pierce their skin and why children of intact traditional families of faith engage in less alcohol and drug abuse, and far less cutting than other children. Being a teenager in 1950 and today. Why animals can be content in good cages but people never. Why some of us prefer connecting to others on the Internet over relating to real live people in our lives. Learn to control your screen time by understanding the addictive appeal of digital devices. Why some people love working for commission only.

Do You Know The Most Dangerous Place in America for Little Children? Oct 25, 2019

Show notes

The government itself, no friend of the traditional family, admits that the most dangerous place for an American child, statistically speaking, is in a home with a single mother and her boyfriend. Notwithstanding the heroic achievements of certain rare and dedicated single moms who live heroic and self-sacrificing lives. Here's a shocker: it's just about as dangerous for a child to live with his mom and his dad, who are not married to one another. This is not a priest, pastor, or rabbi telling you this astounding news. It's the United States government's office of Health and Human Services that produced this scary and incontrovertible report. Why have so many replaced love of family and country with love of huge abstractions like the planet, the environment, the United Nations etc? For a change of pace, please enjoy the little thought experiment I gift to you today. In the circumstances in which I place you, what exactly would you do? Discuss this with friends and family; it will entertain and educate. If a functional nuclear family of mom, dad, and their biological children is best for children, why do politicians who claim to care about children do so much to harm and so little to help? What happened to the germ of Nazism when it departed Germany in 1945? Where did it go? Shakespeare misses it this time but the Bible captures it beautifully. Don't miss King Solomon. Enjoy this week's show.

How Government Exploits "Climate Change" & Promotes Envy To Gain Power Over You Oct 18, 2019

Show notes

The Great Greta Thunberg hoax. Inability to function in a modern economy is a far bigger threat to happy and successful living for today's 16 year-olds than is the hoax of global warming. When today's 16 year-olds are 21, 27, and 35, their problems will be finding and keeping a job, paying exorbitant taxes, and affording decent housing, not being swept away by rising ocean levels. Yet, government obsesses over climate change—Why? Let me explain why promoting climate change hysteria helps elected representatives, appointees and bureaucrats advance their own life and career goals. Let me explain why foolish farm animals (people formerly known as enlightened citizens) eagerly adopt global warming hysteria as their paramount cause. Oak trees, rhododendrons & tarantulas, in fact all organisms, seek to stay alive, thrive, and grow. This is also true for organizations like businesses and, yes, government. Understand why government, its offices, agencies, and institutions all oppose marriage, Judeo-Christian religion, and your financial independence. Why does America need nearly one million social workers? Who are mostly their clients? The "rich" shouldn't have better health care than the "poor", right? Sounds basically good and decent, doesn't it? Well, is it really? And, anyway, let's go ahead and define "rich" & "poor". And how about better transport and housing for the rich? Undemocratic? But wait! They already have that. Why Baltimore is suing BP.

Fathers Don't Create Babies. No, Babies Create Fathers & Peace & Prosperity Oct 11, 2019

Show notes

My guest, the brave and beautiful young Helga Lunenburg from Denmark came to America to warn us about politicians who tax us more and more in order to spend ever greater slices of our money on their wasteful, utopian & self-serving schemes. This bold young 16 year-old Scandinavian schoolgirl wisely warns us that our economic future is imperiled unless we lower the national deficit. She courageously proclaims how her generation's future is at risk because California's liberal government created shortages of water and electricity. How our relationships with our customers, clients and employers can be improved for better productivity and remuneration. How to serve those who provide your revenue more effectively. The full story about perpetrators of mass shootings-Who ARE these men? Why does Book of Genesis mention fathers about five times more frequently than it mentions mothers? What is the one group that comprises only 30% of America's population but accounts for over 70% of opioid deaths, suicide, and crime? Why more men than women die alone?

Men Praise Modern Masculinized Women And Secretly Crave Sweetness & Femininity Oct 04, 2019

Show notes

The luckiest husband in all Oregon. Food tastes better to a man when served by an apron-wearing woman they desire. A rabbinic request for more romance in the workplace. Women suffer depression at twice the rate of men. Really? Perhaps men just don't share their pain. Is male depression underreported? Didn't you know that depressed men tend to violence? To be happy is to embrace your gender. My own encounter with racism and what going bald really means. In what way are mice stronger than elephants? The true message of the Cinderella fairytale. Many aging women freeze their eggs. Would men if they could? A good and masculine man makes a woman very happy just as a feminine women can make a man very happy. The difference is that too many women don't admit it. Women have been indoctrinated to denigrate masculinity and make themselves miserable. The two paramount keys to happiness—marriage and money—are utterly ignored and never taught during the 12 years that most young Americans spend captive in Government Indoctrination Camps. Why be surprised at the outcome?

Why So Many Smart People Believe in Climate Change Sep 27, 2019

Show notes

We all change our behavior on the basis of our beliefs not the facts we learn. Beliefs lead to feelings which are emotional—facts are intellectual. We do things because we feel like it much more often than because we know we should. Recycling is the sacred sacrament of the religion of urban atheists, Secular Fundamentalism. It is based entirely on false beliefs and not on facts. The real reason why America's temples of Secular Fundamentalism, the universities, hate Christianity but love Islam? How the Quran's story of creation differs from Genesis. Why sophisticated and experienced adults turned into buffoons as they prostrated themselves at the feet of a precocious 15 year-old girl, Saint Greta Thunberg, the 21st century version of the 15th century Joan of Arc. Why New York pays $300/ton more to process garbage than necessary and why Seattle employs inspectors to root through citizens garbage receptacles. Why do people put up with this nonsense?

How Marrying a Woman and Why Making Money Both Turn Men Into Better People Sep 21, 2019

Show notes

Help your children find a job or start a business and thereby make your home a nicer place. I might not have been as entertaining as President Trump or as brilliant as Bill Gates but here's why I was a better choice as a speaker for this event. Profit is not just important, it's even more than that. Why finding your anchor liberates you. Bribed by your emotions and how they try to subvert your best judgment. Embrace change—don't fear it. Remember the Leica camera? The magic of movement and the dynamism of dance. Both marriage and business depend on being the right person not finding the right person.

Choose: One Lens to Reality Makes You Healthy, Wealthy & Wise. The Other Lens Does the Opposite. Sep 13, 2019

Show notes

Why you should never take notes while listening to a lecture. Why Jewish last names usually advertised their owners' occupations. Yes, a man may be somewhat more than his work, but surprisingly, not as much more as you'd have thought. The activity of work and money-making, influences women's personalities and identities far less than these things shape men. The real reason that unemployable people are not working; Hint: It's not because they don't know how to fix computers or write software. Why their children are utterly uneducable regardless of how much money we spend on teachers and schools. Islam's plan to wipe Christianity off the face of the earth and what really happened on 9-11. No, not 2001, but 1683. Explaining Middle-East politics without using words like God or Religion. Why Holland has a stronger economy than Belgium. How to use optimism as a revenue tool. Why the swimsuit industry rejected your rabbi's job application. The mysterious fifty-year economic cycle in international finance. Why the verb "write" occurs 248 times in the Hebrew Scripture and how you can use that permanent principle to increase your income.
