Is everybodyâs work equally valuable and important? How can you tell the difference? I respect all humans who behave consistently with being created in the image of God, but do I respect all career choices, occupations, and professions equally? No, of course not, and neither do you. There are several key things to bear in mind when choosing a career path. What attributes does sprinter Usain Bolt share with an oil rig worker and a dentist? What does a professor of race and gender studies share with a graffiti artist? A surprising number of people think that the moon landing in 1969 was a hoax, but what actual benefits did it yield? Do you know what a black hole is? Do you care? Do you know what a dental implant is? Do you care? Most things you care about came about because of microscopes, not telescopes. Why do you probably respect mechanics and musicians more than astrophysicists and artists? Lastly, you should be finding your connection to God through an ear rather than through a galaxy.

Many of todayâs problems are the result of bad choices you made yesterday. They put you in your own Egypt. Want to see the mugshot of your worst enemy? Easy â look on your driverâs license. Itâs relatively easy to conceive a male baby: It only takes a minute or two. Itâs a little harder to give birth to a male baby: it can take several hours. But it is a whole lot harder to turn a male baby into a son. That takes years. It takes years of knowing what to do and doing it. Societies that fail to produce sons, but rather, only produce male human beings is a doomed society. Sons come into existence only after years of fathers and mothers working together. Lessons from Passover⊠âWhen your son will ask youâŠâ. Discovering the name of the person most responsible for your failures and disappointments and turning things around is crucial. Who really enslaved the Israelites? Who enslaved you? Seeing the future is the only way to escape the past.

Although riots slightly damaged Notre Dame Cathedral in the 16th century and the infamous French Revolution inflicted a little damage in the 18th, this fire was the worst damage the beautiful cathedral has ever sustained. In reporting on the Notre Dame fire, the news media ignored the many thousands of attacks, desecrations and vandalizations of European churches every year. Yes, thousands! And almost all perpetrated by Middle Eastern or North African immigrants or their children. There was even an attempt to blow up Notre Dame with a car bomb in 2016. The convicted Islamic terrorist, Inez Madani, was sentenced to eight years in jail just 72 hours before the Notre Dame fire broke out. There was another big fire right in front of Notre Dame on June 17th, 1242. People burned about 25 wagon loads of irreplaceable Hebrew manuscripts. That fire burned for two days. Is there a connection? Catholic-Jewish relations back then werenât what they are today. Happily, times have changed. Also, Airbus is almost a part of European government, yet Boeing isnât a part of American government? We explore reasons for the price of Boeing stock, and they include bribery and corruption. Try bribery and corruption using the Baltimore city government model. Finally, why do news media lean so far to the left, and why does journalism breed envy and resentment? Enjoy!

There is a real reason why airlines have become so much more punctual in keeping to their schedules than they used to be. Has global warming expanded the American continent, pushing Los Angeles and New York further apart? Amazon and the internet are not the only culprits killing off suburban shopping malls; a far more destructive force is imperiling the very existence of your local shopping mall. Is it true that atheism is growing and spreading like wildfire, consuming Bible-based Judeo-Christian faiths in its insatiable lust for secularizing the world? I am surprised you even ask! But I have the answer for you. One thing that is definitely increasing is the number of young Americans taking anti-depressant drugs. Finally, does secular liberalism make societies rot?

Men who marry moneyed maidens hoping to get their hands on her wealth deserve what they get, which most times wonât be good. But girls marrying guys with gold is quite different. Men who make money reveal much of their positive masculine desirability whereas a ladyâs bank balance reveals nothing of her feminine desirability. Why do men in uniform fascinate females? Also, learn why, in 1970, AMC paid $75 Million for little more than rights to the Jeep car name. Other topics include: Yin & Yang, Grand Coulee Dam, and why weddings happen after men propose to women (not the reverse). The Beatles lied in 1967 when they sang âAll You Need is Loveâ. The real meaning of the Biblical jewelry when he gave her gold at that desert well where Rebecca was betrothed to Isaac, sight unseen, and the future of Israel was assured. When he says, âI love youâ, does he mean it the same way as when he says, âI love roast turkeyâ? A great Russian novelist accurately wrote âMoney is coined libertyâ. A financially ambitious man is far more likely to love freedom than a community activist, a politician, or a government bureaucrat. A great American novelist accurately wrote âThe man who damns money has obtained it dishonorably but the man who respects it has earned it.â Such a man is a far better bet for a good woman than a man who can do no more than express pretty feelings about her, which, in truth, camouflage selfish intent.

Many in the Bush family (sorry, I mean dynasty) with their long association with the Republican Party, admitted that they voted for Hillary Clinton in November 2016. So did dozens of other well-known journalists, pundits, policy-wonks, and political-hangers-on who had long been famous as conservative Republicans. All these intelligent people decided that Donald Trump was so terrible that Hillary and the four more years of Obamaville that sheâd bring to the country would be a preferable fate for America. Some have now admitted that they were wrong. Many have not. My question: What explains how intelligent people can make really stupid decisions? I ask you to recall your own bad decisions and we'll analyze how they happen. In this show, we allow ancient Jewish wisdom to explain how easily this can happen to you, how to recognize it in yourself and how to defend against it. Now for the most valuable part of this show: the Biblical secret for overcoming procrastination and how to use it in your life. You know that one thing you have been putting off doing? That one thing which would really enhance your life if you could just get around to doing it? But you procrastinate. Well, hereâs how to put procrastination behind you. Now!

I was wrong last week. The 737 MAX should have been promptly grounded on March 11th, 2019. Was history being written in the Ethiopian desert and off the coast of Indonesia? Sometimes history is written in just a few days. Are we witnessing the opening moves of Americaâs slide from #1 to #2 in commercial aviation? Why would the U.S. Justice Department launch an almost unprecedented criminal investigation of Boeing? The crashes of Lion Flight 610 and Ethiopian Flight 302 tragically killed 346 people. Could subsequent events prove even more costly? Were they really accidents or were they completely avoidable consequences of corrupt collaboration between corporate interests and government. Should it worry us that Americaâs new Secretary of Defense worked for Boeing for thirty years? Boeingâs stock price should tell us something profound. Like Europeâs Airbus, China is waiting to scoop up worldwide twin-engine single-aisle passenger aircraft business. What if Americaâs FAA has irreparably lost international prestige? Why did Boeing put two huge modern engines on a fifty year-old air frame? Why did they decide to omit information from instruction manuals about a computer system that can override the pilot? You wouldnât buy a car that did that. Is Western defense and American security being held hostage by âThe Swampâ? Also, I reveal my prediction about when the 737 MAX will again take to the skies and tell you why you will remember the first quarter of 2019 as history-making in American politics.

How you answer the question that entitles this show will say a lot about whether you ever will have $5 Million. What produces more happiness, fun or work? Would you accept marital advice from a man who has never lived with a woman? But you might well accept car maintenance advice from a mechanic who has never owned a car. Would you take career advice from a man who has never held a job? But you might accept investment advice from an accountant who has much less money than you. Would any mom accept advice about how many children to have, from a woman who has never had children? There is a crucial difference between data and wisdom. Will the arrival of artificial intelligence and self-driving cars put millions out of work? Could you find as much meaning in leisure as in work? Which is more important: what you know or what you are? Finally, there exist ten measures of human greatness.

A guard at the notorious San Quentin Penitentiary near San Francisco takes issue with my overly broad characterization last week. Another California corrections officer comments on my preference for fines, flogging and execution over incarceration. A Colombian family writes from Singapore, to where they moved from Malaysia, telling of how they overcame dark times and broke through to prosperity. Then, it's on to the true story of how Bernie and Arthur got fired from a small hardware store in 1978 and started Home Depot. Wasnât that a great response to losing a job? Also, how 120 million Greeks, Italians, Spaniards, and Portuguese are enjoying their siestas and retirements on the work of 80 million Germans. And that is not to mention the 1.5 million Muslim immigrants theyâre also supporting. If youâre trying to start a business or grow one, you have to think outside the box. You must escape the confinement of the conventional. But if you leap too far out of the box, if youâre too unconventional, you might be stepping over the legal line. Yet, if all you do is repeat what others before you have done, your business will fail. Whatâs one to do? Happily, there is an answer that pops out of one little verse in Deuteronomy and which Jews have used for generations to achieve financial abundance. Now, you can too.
