| So I, aside from those recommendations, I want to talk to you about the specifics of the threat to America, to this civilization, to the extent that a serious percentage of this society has contempt for its flag and new development as well. | |
| There have always been some. | |
| So I have two recommendations for you that help. | |
| I mean, I have been affected. | |
| I'm not the same happy-go-lucky guy that I was six months ago. | |
| I'm not depressed. | |
| I function fine. | |
| I enjoy my life. | |
| But there's no doubt in my mind that it has affected me. | |
| How could it not affect me? | |
| America's the last best hope on Earth, as Lincoln put it, and Lincoln statues are being torn down. | |
| So, of course I'm affected. | |
| So, aside from those recommendations that I made on a micro level, here are some other, well, they're both micro and macro, what I recommend to you. | |
| First, what is of huge help to me, And I think would be to any of you, is to find kindred spirits. | |
| As you know, I announced this from March. | |
| There's virtually no Friday night that I do not have a Sabbath meal with friends. | |
| My house, their house. | |
| I have never allowed the fear of COVID to stop me. | |
| From being with people I love. | |
| The risk of dying from COVID if you are healthy is so minuscule that the price to be paid, I am not with people I want to be with, is absurd. | |

|
| Just absurd. | |
| That's my view. | |
| For whom getting COVID is a serious threat to your life. | |
| That's a separate issue. | |
| We've always felt that way. | |
| But the vast majority of you listening, that does not apply to. | |
| So you should be getting together with people who bring you comfort. | |
| People with whom you can speak openly. | |
| about what you think about anything as you know I have said on this program all of the 20 years I've been broadcasting happiness hour people should date for friends as seriously as they dated for a spouse friends are critical and it's a good example of Preparing | |
| for rainy days. | |
| Life should consist of tremendous amount of preparing for rainy days. | |
| Now you realize how important friends are. | |
| Maybe you didn't realize it when things were so good and, you know, you were just concerned about your profession or even just your family. | |
| Completely understandable to be preoccupied with career and family. | |
| But it's not enough. | |
| You should have been preoccupied with making friends. | |
| You should have been preoccupied with having a religious life. | |
| A great number of synagogues and churches are failing at this time. | |
| They are failing to fight for this country and liberty, including religious liberty. | |
| They are failing. | |
