| Don't you want people in society, do you not want them, even if they're wrong, do you not want people to say, wait a minute, we have to rethink? | |
| Shouldn't we always be rethinking things? | |
| Even if the herd is right, isn't it good to have somebody outside the herd? | |
| Hasn't most good happened from people outside of the herd? | |
| Moral good, scientific good. | |
| Now, a lot of people outside the herd are cuckoo. | |
| I fully acknowledge that. | |
| But the people cited in the New York Times piece were not cuckoo. | |
| I remember when George W. Bush was president. | |
| Do you remember how many bumper stickers we saw? | |
| Dissent is patriotic. | |
| Do you know that there were no such bumper stickers when Barack Obama was elected? | |
| Dissent is only patriotic if you dissent from a Republican. | |
| It's so transparent. | |
| Dissent is now regarded as absurd. | |
| Deniers. | |
| The left has always had that. | |
| There's always been a label for people with whom they differ. | |
| I wonder how this will play out later on, the overreaction with regard to global warming. | |
| Because that's the big enchilada to engage in cultural appropriation here for a moment. | |
| That's the big one. | |
| So I've asked a question in my piece this week. | |
| Thank you. | |
| I asked, and I would love to have an answer. | |
| If there is a Democratic president and a Democratic Congress, why will they not declare a state of emergency over global warming? | |
| They believe that is more dangerous than this. | |
| It makes no sense, correct? | |
| If we can shut down the economy of America for a virus that has killed thus far, what is the latest number in the United States killed? | |
| It was 140-something yesterday when I went to bed. | |
| It's still in the 140s? | |
| Okay. | |
| 140. Does anybody ask how come it hasn't killed more? | |
| Well, how often have you read we're two weeks behind Italy? | |
| By the way, even Italy, I mean, we're not talking about millions or hundreds of thousands or tens of thousands. | |
| 150, okay, so it's very slow growth. | |
| 32 additional deaths? | |
| Right, but we're not talking exponential. | |
| It should be double of yesterday. | |
| That's exponential. | |
| How many people died in Italy? | |
| Could you check them? | |
| And by the way, you know what is never told? | |
| How many of the people who died in Italy were Chinese? | |
| I wrote about this, the Wall Street Journal wrote, well, the Wall Street Journal wrote about Iran's connections to China. | |
| Everybody with massive connections, well, not everybody, but those who have the epidemic most had vast connections with China. | |
| It is time to produce as much as possible in the United States of America, especially drugs. | |
| A deal with the devil was made in having so much made in China. | |
| My heart breaks for people I know who do business there. | |
| I hope you'll simply, and simply is not accurate, I hope you'll be able to produce in Vietnam. | |
| It's also a communist-led country, but they're not a threat. | |
| You know how many Vietnamese died to protect the Stalinist regime of Ho Chi Minh? | |
| When I went to Vietnam a few years ago, I came back angry. | |
| This is such an industrious people. | |
| They're so lively and they were so suppressed by the utter and total unambiguous evil of communism. | |
| Communism is one of those things that reinforce one's belief that human beings are not basically good. | |
| Anyway, thus far, it looks like they may have a cure. |
