Summary: In the first hour, Rabbi Lapin takes your calls about the French actor, and film-maker Gérard Depardieu who was recently granted Russian citizenship by Russian President Vladimir Putin. Other topics included how are your tax dollars being used by the Federal Government and rising living costs. The Rabbi noted the 45th anniversary of the iconic song, "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay" by Otis Redding. He also noted the commemoration this week of the late U.S. President Richard M. Nixon's 100th birthday, adding the Rabbi will raise a toast in honor of Nixon, who he says was an underappreciated president and a foreign policy genius. Nixon died in 1994 at the age of 81.
