Summary

Welcome Happy Warriors. Africa’s fertility rate, children per woman, is 4.5. Israel is 3.1. America is 1.6. China is 1.3. Less than 2.1 means shrinking population and resulting shrinking economy. In an attempt to solve this problem, China has just upgraded rules from 2 to 3 children per family. China is already short about 50 million women as a result of the one-child-per-family policy. Yes, if they are having only one child, most couples would like it to be a boy. About 50 million Chinese men will never find brides in China. This is not good news. The consequence of diminishing population is declining economy. Some countries decided to solve the shrinkage problem by importing single, young Muslim men from the Middle East and North Africa. How’s that working out for you France, Germany, and Sweden? Your rabbi explains why that strategy is failing so dismally. Forget climate change—our future is really threatened by plummeting sperm counts of American men. Your rabbi explains what has been causing the declining ability of US men to father a child. While we’re at it, we also discuss the connection between women having fewer babies and their voices becoming more masculine. Hundreds of incarcerated California men moved into women’s prisons in 2021. (They claim to identify as women.) Almost no women want to move to men’s prisons. Who’d have thought it? The clue to all this is in Scrolling Thru Scripture 'https://www.wehappywarriors.com/scrolling-through-scripture-unit1' . This is the way to make sure that Happy Warriors never deteriorate into tennis balls floating down the gutter of life. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

0:00.0	The more the world changes, the more we find comfort in the things that never change.
0:06.0	This is Rabbi Daniel Lapin on demand on the Blaze Radio Network.
0:13.6	Welcome to the Rabbi Daniel Lapin show, where I, your rabbi, reveal how the world really works.
0:30.0	Yes, welcome to each of you happy warriors.
0:34.2	And I'll remind you that the phrase Happy Warrior is one that I borrowed, that means plagiarized,
0:44.9	from the English poet William Wordsworth, who wrote a poem about the happy warrior in the early
0:51.3	1800s. I don't remember the exact date. But some of the lines are
0:57.8	really beautiful. And it goes like this. Who is the happy warrior? Who is he? That every man in
1:05.5	arms should wish to be. It is the generous spirit who, when brought, finds comfort in himself and in his cause,
1:16.5	and while the mortal misty's gathering draws his breath in confidence of heaven's applause,
1:24.8	this is the happy warrior, this is he, that every man in arms should wish to be.
1:32.6	And I think of myself and my wife, Susan, and each and every one of you listening right now.
1:40.2	I think of you all as happy warriors, whether man or woman, all happy warriors, because to
1:46.6	live productively, you have to fight every day against the force of entropy, if nothing else.
1:53.3	You fight to maintain your possessions.
1:55.8	You fight to build and maintain your family.
1:58.8	You fight to build and grow your money. You fight to take care of
2:03.3	your body and your business, your profession or your career. Look, God created a world in which
2:10.6	chaos and disorder rule. In other words, the default condition in this world of ours is chaos, disorder.
2:22.0	If neglected, gardens turn into jungles. Cities turn into ruins. But never does it go the other way around.
2:32.8	Genesis chapter 1 verse 2, literally the second verse of the Hebrew
2:37.1	scriptures speaks about a phrase Tohu-Bohu, which is found its way into the dictionary,
