Who cares what men musicians look like? We only discuss their music. But when lady musicians are dressed a little provocatively, even a little sexily, weâll comment on their music and also on their appearance. Is this wrong? Is this âsexismâ (whatever that means)? Thereâs a growing group of attractive young female concert pianists who no longer perform in long gowns in muted colors. Few are more noticeable than Yuja Wang, and the music critic of the Los Angeles Times certainly did notice her, which ignited a firestorm of controversy in the Washington Post. Your rabbi found it all highly entertaining and he hopes you will too. And Yuja Wang really is an amazing pianist! Also, a brief rabbinic lesson on zippers in ladies fashion. And now, from the performance to the penitentiary. Youâll never guess what is shared in common by large numbers of men who are serving life sentences but by almost no incarcerated women. Finally, learn why I would shut down every last prison and jail immediately even if it means releasing every convict. And I am tough on crime! Really.

For those of you whoâve been eagerly awaiting the day I criticize President Donald Trump, today is your day! Listen as I revile and repudiate the following phrase from the State of the Union: âAll Americans can be proud that we have more women in the workforce than ever before.â Well, I am not at all proud of that. And neither should you be. The President and his speechwriters were pandering to the high priests of Secular Fundamentalism. 98% of speech therapists are women, but well under 1% of construction industry jobs are held by women. Wives save their husbands from being hermits. Wives and moms build communities and neighborhoods. Huge numbers of wives, whose husbands earn enough, do enthusiastically quit the workforce. And these things are good for everyone other than Democrat Party (Yes! Call it that) politicians whoâd rather tax two incomes. Also, hear my interview with Tom Ziglar, who just wrote a terrific new book, 'Choose To Win'. He is not only the son of the late, great Zig Ziglar, but he is also a cherished friend. We cover his book, growing up as the son of Zig, and the marriage of his parents. Secular Fundamentalism, the flip side of the Judeo-Christian Bible faiths, loathes anything with Biblical roots and nothing more than marriage and family. Their message to women is: âYou donât need a husband, all you need is the government.â Why are over 80% of women on welfare, single? Because that is exactly what radical socialists want. But thereâs hope.

Rabbi Daniel Lapin and his wife, Susan, take a lighthearted look at movies. Before World War II, about 0.3% of movies released were what we would call âhorror moviesâ. By 1968, over 2% of movies were horror movies, by 2000 it was 4%, and by 2015 it was 12%. By then, zombies were taking over the (entertainment) world. To date, Hollywood has produced 1,000 more zombie movies than cowboy movies. The Walking Dead? Really? When did the zombie craze really take off? It was 1962. Yes, thereâs that date again. Could there be any meaningful correlation between the extirpation of Judeo-Christian Bible faith from everyday life and the rise of zombie horror taking its place? As religionâs ability to help us cope with death declined, did we turn to âzombie-pornâ? Michael Jackson, the boy who never grew old, and his music video 'Thriller'. The arrival of ten-minute movies - for your phone! - brought to you by Meg Whitman and Jeffrey Katzenberg. If you donât consciously âchoose lifeâ, the automatic default is death. From abortion to euthanasia, what a large crowd of people does matters.

How to prepare your children to be able to say âNo!â What are our three main appetites, & how do they differ from one other? Why do so many smart, accomplished, powerful men who know better, act so badly towards women? The Torah prohibits Jews from eating pork, yet it is just as healthy as beef. So why are pigs, and other delicious dishes like crabs, lobsters, oysters, rabbits and snails prohibited to the people of Israel? What does this have to do with self-destructive sexual promiscuity? How has not eating pork helped Jews make better financial decisions? Can people of every religious background and no religious background also benefit from these timeless truths? Being engaged is not supposed to be fun. The difference between investing and gambling. The big question to ask guys who want to date your daughter. Develop passion for the work you do. Four categories that include everything on the planet. Why executing murderers is moral.

If you have a few dollars, well, you didnât MAKE that moneyâyou TOOK it. This according to the economics professors who teach your children and help them form their worldviews. Do you patronize companies that give some of their profit to charity? I explain why they would be acting more morally by reducing the price of the goods you purchase. After all, why is it the companyâs job to take additional money from you, the customer, to give to someone who is arbitrarily defined as a âcharity recipientâ. Are companies now in the redistribution business? Must be why more and more companies boast of how much they âgive awayâ. Majority of students believe that corporations and businesses are under the moral obligation to fulfill the social promises rashly made by politicians. They believe that businesses have more important obligations than making money for their owners. They believe the equation Poverty = Virtue and wealth is, in itself, evidence of moral malfeasance. Where does this all end? Can we fix it?

Hereâs a tough one to swallow: Morality as we know it applies to individuals, not to nations! The United Nations is nothing but an illusion. An illusion promoted by some pretty horrid people, to be sure; but an illusion nonetheless. The International Court in The Hague? Puhleez, itâs a joke. You can ignore it. Everyone else does. If you donât like what Russia is doing (whatever that is supposed to be), then stop whining. Just make sure we have the necessary military power and the will to project it. That way you can tell them to cut it out. Otherwise youâre nothing but a buffoon. Remember one president who told us that he told Mr Putin to âjust cut it outâ? If you donât like Chinaâs progress to colonial power and world domination, well just make sure you have the power. International relations operate not on paper but on power. Spend all your political capital on imaginary climate problems, placating the whining gender/homeless/race/ kindergartens and building windmills, and you can whistle while other less stupidly encumbered nations rule the world. Just a word to the wise, itâs more fun being a citizen of a powerful nation than of a weak one. Did I always want to be a rabbi? Actually, no. What did I really want to be? How do I keep up my schedule without relaxation? What incident in history would I like to witness? What is the saddest thing I often see? These are some of the questions that Cornerstone Television asked me. To my shock, I discovered just how open and candid were my answers. Youâll hear it all and more on this show. Enjoy!

Guess whoâs building the Argentina-Chile tunnel in order to lock up the worldâs supply of Lithium (ion batteries). Yes, Iâm talking about your mobile phoneâthe one you love so much! It was in 1956 that we saw one of the first movies to depict a Christian missionary negatively. Guess who owns Kenyaâs new railway. And Kenyaâs port of Mombasa (which like Somalia and Yemen, was also named in Hebrew). Guess who owns Zambiaâs international airport and its electrical power grid. I hope youâre seeing a pattern here because Our-Hate-America-Left does not. They are still myopically obsessed with Russia as the existential threat. Who has just built one of the longest bridges in Africa in the Congo? Hint: It wasnât the Russians. The Congo possesses huge reserves of both uranium and natural gas. Guess who gets that now. Both Congos are more concerned about election fraud than we are. In 1900 Joseph Conrad published his wonderful novel set in the Congo, Heart of Darkness. Francis Ford Coppola based his movie Apocalypse Now on Conradâs novel. Back then Africa was the 3rd World. When I motorcycled through Africa in 1969, it was still the 3rd World. It is no longer the 3rdWorld. It is moving rapidly toward 1st World conditions. The United States, however, is moving just as rapidly towards 3rd World conditions. The New York Times in a rare burst of candor, called Los Angeles âcapital of the third world.â I show you ten metrics including water, transportation, corruption, public hygiene, & tribalism that confirm that we are heading towards 3rd World living. Acknowledging the problem is always the first step towards its solution.

If youâve read my book, Thou Shall Prosper-The Ten Commandments for Making Money, then you already know why Jews are disproportionately good with money. Youâve probably already adopted those timeless truths into your own financial life to good effect, but none of that explains why over 80 percent of American comedians of the past 80 years are Jewish. While weâre talking laughter, why are the wicked villains of television and movies characterized by their evil laugh? Was Samson really a comedian? The only one in all of the Bible? Also, why do most jokes revolve around the bedroom, the bathroom, and the church/synagogue? There is some really terrible news for South Africa. The University of Cape Town claims that "1 + 1 = 2" only according to the old, white, colonial way of thinking. Why did Wrestlemania take off so successfully in the 1980s? And we reveal the reason why a shared sense of humor is vital for couples contemplating marriage. Enjoy!

What is the semi-addictive behavior in which most of us engage to our own detriment? To what activity do most of us devote a shockingly high number of hours each week for which we get zero benefit? What is worse, this activity not only brings no benefit but it actually causes damage to us. If evil enemies wanted to harm the United States of America and render it weak both economically and militarily, they couldnât have come up with a better plot than this one in which we willingly collaborate. Not surprisingly, those weakest members of society, the least productive and most destructive, spend most time on this harmful thing. Do you really want to promote uniformity of thought? Do you really want to eliminate all individuality and all diversity of outlook? Well, just continue doing what youâre already doing and encourage others to do the same. Is there a solution? Of course! Do you really think your rabbi would leave you dangling?

Why did The Donna Reed Show help marriages while The Gilmore Girls hurt them? And how did boys start reneging on the social contract to become men back during the 1960s? Until then, boys sought to grow into men who would marry and who would cherish and protect their wives. Then, in what will turn out to be historyâs most remarkable case of mass arrested development, little boys grew into big boys and big boys became 40 year-old adolescents. Men surrendered their natural authority in relationships; then they renounced responsibility. So understandably, the women had to step in; for whether in politics, business, or male/female relationships, nature abhors a vacuum.
