=== Defying Fools (05:06) ===

[00:00:00]  Why should you sit in your house the whole time if you can't go to work anyway?
[00:00:06]  Because the governor told you to stay in your house?
[00:00:09]  That's the second reason for happiness.
[00:00:12]  Defying fools is a source of happiness.
[00:00:16]  I've been doing it all of my life.
[00:00:19]  It's one of the reasons I'm happy.
[00:00:21]  I never listen to fools.
[00:00:24]  I don't obey fools.
[00:00:28]  You get your dignity back.
[00:00:30]  You get your spine back.
[00:00:32]  Crawling is not a form of happiness.
[00:00:37]  Fear.
[00:00:38]  It's impossible to walk around afraid and be happy.
[00:00:43]  The chances of a healthy person, virtually any age, but certainly under, let's say, 80. The chances of a healthy person, let's even go down to 70. Dying of this are minuscule.
[00:00:59]  Get it?
[00:01:00]  And they don't exist if you're under 18. It's negligible.
[00:01:05]  It's in the realm of dying from a snake bite.
[00:01:09]  Walk around afraid of snakes for your kids?
[00:01:16]  Oh, boy.
[00:01:17]  All right.
[00:01:18]  let's see here all right let's go to Kathy Long Beach California Hello, Kathy.
[00:01:33]  Hello.
[00:01:34]  Hi.
[00:01:35]  Hey, I'm a long-time listener, big fan.
[00:01:39]  I am happy today.
[00:01:41]  And there's a couple reasons I'm happy.
[00:01:43]  Number one, I love listening to you, Dennis.
[00:01:46]  I always have an aha moment.
[00:01:49]  But number two, I'm doing something today.
[00:01:51]  I'm in my car.
[00:01:52]  I'm going to Huntington Beach to the big rally.
[00:01:55]  I have my signs made.
[00:01:56]  Open California, and I'm with you.
[00:02:01]  When is the rally?
[00:02:02]  When is it?
[00:02:04]  It's at noon today.
[00:02:06]  There's five of them.
[00:02:07]  One in San Diego, one in Huntington Beach, one in Los Angeles, one in San Francisco, and the other one in Sacramento.
[00:02:16]  How do people find out where to go?
[00:02:20]  WeHaveRights.com.
[00:02:22]  WeHaveRights.com.
[00:02:24]  Bless you.
[00:02:25]  Let me know how it goes, and I'm certainly going to follow it.
[00:02:30]  That's correct.
[00:02:32]  I should make up some signs for you.
[00:02:35]  A sheep's life is only good for sheep.
[00:02:42]  Yes.
[00:02:44]  Good.
[00:02:45]  Anyway, you've got to get out of your house.
[00:02:48]  That's the message today.
[00:02:50]  Let's go to Alex in Pittsburgh.
[00:02:53]  Alex, hello.
[00:02:57]  Alex in Pittsburgh, hello.
[00:03:01]  Hey, Dennis, thank you so much for taking my call.
[00:03:03]  Yes, sir.
[00:03:04]  I just wanted to say, first, I am in complete agreement and happy that you chose to celebrate Shabbat the way you did last week, and I hope you have.
[00:03:13]  I'm doing it tonight, too.
[00:03:14]  I'm doing it tonight.
[00:03:16]  This is what I do, actually.
[00:03:17]  I Zoom the service where I teach every week.
[00:03:22]  I teach Bible, teach the Torah.
[00:03:23]  And so I Zoom it.
[00:03:26]  So we're all together at least that way on Saturday.
[00:03:29]  And Friday night I go to a friend's house for Shabbat dinner.
[00:03:33]  So I am living as normal a life as is possible at this time.
[00:03:42]  I just wanted to say really quick, when you had brought up and you had associated people previously being under house arrest and being sick as, you know, a necessary means to Being stuck in your house, it really made me think back to how I really didn't care for or like the initial language that was being put out when this started really becoming a problem that we should all pretend and act as if we're infected because I think mentally the toll that that could take
[00:04:12]  on you after an extended period of time is acting as if you're infected.
[00:04:16]  You're going to mentally become infected and just very, very depressed.
[00:04:22]  What is your situation?
[00:04:25]  Who are you with?
[00:04:26]  Whom are you with?
[00:04:27]  I'm with my wife.
[00:04:29]  We're in our house in Pittsburgh.
[00:04:32]  You're 29 and you're married?
[00:04:34]  I assume you're conservative.
[00:04:38]  Yes, I am.
[00:04:40]  That's it.
[00:04:40]  That's all I need to hear.
[00:04:41]  29-year-old guy married?
[00:04:43]  The odds are overwhelming he's conservative.
[00:04:46]  Remember, everything the left touches, it ruins.
[00:04:49]  This is a living example of it.
[00:04:51]  This is a living example.
[00:04:54]  The states were rated, by the way, the states were rated as the most obedient and least obedient.
[00:05:01]  South Carolina is the least obedient.
[00:05:03]  I actually said to my wife, I'm thinking of moving there.
