=== Fauci's Mind-Boggling Statement (03:07) ===

[00:00:00]  A woman reporter mentioned that spousal abuse was up 20%.
[00:00:04]  I have no idea if it's true.
[00:00:06]  I would not be surprised if it is true.
[00:00:09]  But I have no proof other than the woman said it to the governor of New York State.
[00:00:17]  My role, which I accept, and I accept the consequences of if I turn out to have...
[00:00:26]  Not played a responsible role or an accurate role.
[00:00:29]  I fully own what I have been saying.
[00:00:32]  I have asked from the beginning, is the cure worse than the disease?
[00:00:36]  It is a question that needs to be asked.
[00:00:38]  It doesn't seem to be asked.
[00:00:41]  Because we have put decision-making, we have taken it away from the civilian and given it to the experts.
[00:00:48]  My entire life, I have known that that is a stupid thing to do.
[00:00:53]  Experts are...
[00:00:55]  Experts.
[00:00:56]  That's all they are.
[00:00:59]  But in the age of secularism, they are the priests of science.
[00:01:06]  And just like the priests of ancient life, they were regarded as bringing down the final word, God's word, if you will.
[00:01:16]  So, too, that is how experts are regarded.
[00:01:21]  Experts run the gamut of moron to wise, just as every other group of human beings.
[00:01:29]  From corrupt to honest, just like every other human being, but they are not regarded as such.
[00:01:35]  You say somebody has a doctorate in molecular biology, and you just shut up.
[00:01:42]  That's it.
[00:01:44]  And the proof is a statement That was made by Dr. Fauci, which is mind-boggling, and he was asked, and I will play for it as soon as we can get it.
[00:02:09]  My wife sent the clip here, but it is not working because you need a sign-in to get into that clip, Sean tells me.
[00:02:19]  But I will play it for you over and over and over.
[00:02:24]  He was asked two days ago when this will end, when he foresees the opening up of society, when there are zero cases and zero deaths.
[00:02:43]  If there is anyone listening who does not regard that as Frighteningly stupid.
[00:02:50]  And he is an honest man, a good man, a scientist, all the good things.

=== Liberals And The Left-Right Divide (06:42) ===

[00:02:55]  I'm not saying this ad hominem.
[00:02:57]  I'm talking about the statement.
[00:03:00]  The statement is frighteningly stupid.
[00:03:05]  But this is the mindset of the expert.
[00:03:08]  Because they don't have the wisdom to govern a society.
[00:03:12]  But we have given them the power to run society.
[00:03:20]  You understand that there will be no America as we have known it for so long if we have to wait for no cases and no deaths This is it's a it's a very scary thing it was played I I wouldn't have even believed that if I didn't hear him say it By sheer good chance I was listening in on the I
[00:03:50]  was listening in the car going to pick up food at a restaurant.
[00:03:55]  I was listening to Tucker Carlson, and he is the one who played it.
[00:04:00]  And sure enough, that is exactly what it was.
[00:04:08]  That should scare you.
[00:04:12]  That's very scary.
[00:04:15]  You know, Sweden continues to be open.
[00:04:18]  I had heard that it was locking down.
[00:04:19]  Did you hear that too?
[00:04:21]  They've added restrictions, but they're under tremendous pressure.
[00:04:26]  They're under tremendous pressure for many reasons, because if they don't turn out to have mass death, then we all will have closed down our societies for no good reason.
[00:04:39]  The unquestioning part of the American people, almost all on the left, is that the American people are not going to be a part of the American people.
[00:04:50]  Oh, we have to close down.
[00:04:51]  It is truly fascinating.
[00:04:54]  Real Clear Politics put up my piece, which always pleases me, because it's the finest collection of left and right viewpoints on the internet.
[00:05:04]  Real Clear Politics.
[00:05:06]  So they took my column this week on the COVID-19 and the left-right divide, how it so shows how we think differently, we are built differently, our brains function differently.
[00:05:20]  There is nothing in common between left and right.
[00:05:24]  Conservatives and liberals can have things in common, but left and right cannot.
[00:05:27]  Left and liberals don't have anything in common.
[00:05:29]  Liberals don't know that, and that is the great tragedy of our society.
[00:05:33]  It is, because if the liberals became anti-left, America would be guaranteed a beautiful future.
[00:05:40]  But the left is a completely destructive force, and it is fascinating.
[00:05:45]  You have it?
[00:05:46]  Good.
[00:05:46]  Let's play it.
[00:05:47]  At yesterday's coronavirus briefing, Dr. Anthony Fauci was asked when the restrictions on normal life will end in this country.
[00:05:54]  Here's how he replied.
[00:05:56]  If we get to the part of the curve that Dr. Burke showed yesterday when it goes down to essentially no new cases, no deaths at a period of time.
[00:06:08]  So it'll be fixed when we have no new cases and no deaths.
[00:06:13]  Okay, good, perfect.
[00:06:14]  Thank you, Sean.
[00:06:17]  Had you heard that, Mr. Producer?
[00:06:23]  No new cases and no deaths?
[00:06:30]  I can't conceive of that happening in the year 2020. There's a social price paid by masks as well.
[00:06:43]  There's ambivalence with regard to masks.
[00:06:46]  I would not have come down on the side of people should wear them.
[00:06:51]  People working with people who might be infected or who are infected, obviously, they should wear them.
[00:06:57]  Adam Carolla was on my L.A. station earlier this morning discussing our film No Safe Spaces.
[00:07:05]  And he put it well.
[00:07:06]  He said this one-size-fits-all idea, he says, you know, there's zero tolerance.
[00:07:14]  Exactly right.
[00:07:15]  It's foolish.
[00:07:16]  What did he mention?
[00:07:17]  The horse trail by his house.
[00:07:19]  You can't ride a horse.
[00:07:24]  Because you might cross someone six feet.
[00:07:28]  You might cross somebody within six feet.
[00:07:30]  Is that it?
[00:07:32]  Your horse may have it.
[00:07:36]  You never know.
[00:07:43]  The left and the experts, of course, have a way out.
[00:07:47]  No matter what happens, they were right.
[00:07:49]  Get it?
[00:07:49]  That's why they're so angry at Sweden.
[00:07:54]  50 deaths in Sweden yesterday?
[00:07:58]  And 50 the day before and 50 the day before.
[00:08:01]  That's a real exponential increase.
[00:08:06]  Yeah, no, I understand.
[00:08:11]  The herd instinct of the human being is very distressing to me.
[00:08:19]  It's very interesting.
[00:08:21]  I have always studied goodness, because evil is the norm.
[00:08:28]  Goodness is the exception.
[00:08:31]  So, how to make good people is the most important question society could ever ask.
[00:08:36]  We don't ask that anymore.
[00:08:39]  It's just not asked.
[00:08:41]  We assume people are born good, so we teach them how racist America is, and that makes them a good person, fighting racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, and environmental degradation.
[00:08:54]  Then you're a good person.
[00:08:58]  So, I studied goodness.
[00:09:03]  Particularly, I was fascinated by who rescued Jews during World War II. And a book I read, oh my god, it must be 35, 40 years, 40 years ago, at the Harvard Coupe.
[00:09:18]  I just sat there reading.
[00:09:21]  And it listed four characteristics of people who rescued Jews, non-Jews who rescued Jews, because there were very few of them, unfortunately.
[00:09:30]  One of them was they were considered eccentric prior to the war.
