| How do you explain it? | |
| I think that one difference is the acceptance of the fact that you always pay a price. | |
| That there is no Answer to some riddles of life. | |
| So you have to weigh, but it is so emotional to weigh against lives. | |
| I think it's emotion. | |
| It's not reason, it's emotion. | |
| And it's not values. | |
| Unless you truly believe, which people on the left might, that people on the right don't care about people's lives. | |
| But it's a little silly because that means they don't care about their own parents' lives. | |
| Since their parents are the ones most likely to die because of age or underlying conditions. | |
| So, I have contempt for the destructive, nihilistic, chaos-inducing character. | |
| Character of leftism. | |
| But I don't believe leftists don't care if their parents die. | |
| I do live in the world of reality. | |
| But they don't. | |
| When I read the attacks on conservatives who want to open up their states, it is almost always accompanied by the language of Stock market over lives. | |
| One of the sick and evil parts of the left is the inability to believe that those who differ with you may have good motives. | |
| I believe that. | |
| I never assess the left's motives. | |
| I've said people with good motives do some of the most evil in the history of the world. | |
| Motives don't mean a damn thing. | |
| Behavior is everything. | |
| But they're all motive assessed. | |
| Oh, you care about your stock portfolio. | |
| But the people, did you see the people in Michigan and elsewhere who demonstrated to open up the state? | |
| Do they look like billionaires with stock portfolios? | |
| Right? | |
| Or do they look like middle class and even lower middle class, income-wise? | |
| Those are the people my heart breaks for, not for me. | |
| By the way, has the government continued to pay government workers exactly as if there were no crisis? | |
| Jesus. | |
| Thank you. | |
| That is vile. | |
| That is just vile. | |
| So there are no consequences, except their stocks, which will presumably rise again. | |
| There is no consequence if you work for the government, only if you work in the private sector. | |
| What a deal. | |
| What a deal. | |
| Anyway, what they're being paid with is gradually... | |
| Worth less and less. | |
| It's called money. | |
| Print more. | |
| Print a couple of trillion. | |
| Right? | |
| I think there's another difference. | |
| We think much more rationally than the left. | |
| And rationally, you realize that disease is part of life. | |
| We have to conquer it. | |
| We have to do everything we can, but we cannot destroy the world. | |
| I mean, this is beyond belief that the world has gone into lockdown. | |
| Do you understand? | |
| I mean, if this were a movie, it would be called science fiction. | |
| The moment Mo Dye did it in India, and I thought about the people who won't have access to food. | |
| If Americans are, do you see the parking lots filled? | |
| Gigantic parking lots, people coming for food? | |
| In the United States of America? | |
| That I never expected to see. | |
| And there's another one. | |
| The left believes in the experts. | |
| And they're proud of it. | |
| That's where they have contempt for us. | |
| But experts shouldn't make policy. | |
| What's our timing, gentlemen? | |
| Oh, the music is on so early, it's confusing. | |
| All right, fair enough. | |
| The experts issue is a big one. | |
| I've talked about it all of my life. |
