| 0:00.0 | The more the world changes, the more we find comfort in things that never change. |
| 0:06.1 | This is Rabbi Daniel Lapin on demand on the Blaze Radio Network. |
| 0:13.6 | Welcome, everybody, and this is your rabbi. |
| 0:18.4 | I'm Rabbi Daniel Lapin, with my solemn mission of revealing how the world |
| 0:24.6 | really works. Thanks so much for listening to the podcast, downloading it, making it a part of |
| 0:32.8 | your life and your listening pleasure. I really appreciate that and I am obsessive about watching the |
| 0:39.7 | download numbers because, as I've already told you, they are precisely what fuel my passion. |
| 0:46.0 | They propel me forward as I record this podcast for you every week. And I would like to start off today. And we have a number of topics that |
| 0:57.9 | I'm hoping to be able to get to. One of them is I want to talk about why is it okay to sell body parts |

| 1:53.8 | We're going to talk about that, and also want to talk about Somalia having the worst famine they've ever had. |
| 2:02.6 | But wait a sec, in 1973, 1974, Somalia was having the worst famine they ever had. |
| 2:09.6 | And then back in 1960, 1961, Somalia was having, oh, the worst famine they ever had. |
| 2:16.6 | Doesn't this begin to remind you of Stalinist Russia, where inexplicably, every five years, every 10 years, there was a famine, every 10 years reliably. |
| 2:29.2 | Something went wrong. |
| 2:30.6 | And what, like, what was it? |
| 2:32.8 | And it's regardless of rainfall, there's's still a famine what's going on there |
