| They suppress dissent? | |
| I welcome it. | |
| Julius in Jersey City, thank you for calling. | |
| New Jersey. | |
| Yeah, Dennis, I'm just going to be blunt here. | |
| Grow up with the whining about Newsom. | |
| The reason you wear the mask is not so much to protect yourself, but because nobody knows if you have a virus or not, and your spittle, when you talk, that actually comes out of your mouth, might hit someone, and they get infected. | |
| That's the reason you wear the mask, why I wear the mask, why people should wear the mask. | |
| As I always note, I wear a mask whenever I go inside any place. | |
| Yeah, and it also includes walking down the street and dealing with... | |
| It does. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Okay. | |
| So when you have... | |
| Allow me to talk now. | |
| Do you wear a mask when you walk alone outside? | |
| Well, it depends on where I am. | |
| If I'm by myself in my own little area where I'm going to be expecting no one, yeah. | |
| So if somebody passes you outdoors, you feel that there is a real risk of you're infecting them, A, and that they will die from it. | |
| You think those are real risks? | |
| You know what? | |
| Let's pull the stop here. | |
| It's not so much about just dying. | |
| It just sucks. | |
| Getting sick, okay? | |
| Okay, so you feel that... | |
| Let's just be honest here. | |
| It's not just about dying. | |
| Okay, it's not just... | |
| You're right. | |
| It's about getting really sick, right. | |
| Okay, that's fair. | |
| So you feel that there is a genuine risk of people getting really sick from your passing them while walking outdoors. | |
| I'm not arguing with you. | |
| I'm trying to understand why you would wear a mask outdoors. | |
| Because Spittle, if I'm talking on the phone, for instance, Spittle can hit people. | |
| And I'm going to explain to you why. | |
| And you know what? | |
| I want to expand on this, on the thing about eating. | |
| There's a difference between eating face-to-face, where you're chewing down on a hoagie, and spit could hit someone else across you. | |
| And I think, you know, from that of saying, like, if you're sitting in an airplane, like in JetBlue, Where the middle seat is left vacant. | |
| And I doubt, unless you eat side to side, you're most likely not going to aim your spit at someone while you're eating. | |
| Because you're going to be facing down. | |
| How far does your spit travel when you eat? | |
| Let's see. | |
| I travel a lot and I eat. | |
| No, no, no. | |
| I didn't ask how much you travel. | |
| How much does your spit travel? | |
| I'm not being cute. | |
| I think you are being cute right now. | |
| No, no. | |
| I think it's unrealistic to believe. | |
| We have no evidence whatsoever. | |
| You know, here's the thing. | |
| Okay, I have to be able to speak. | |
| I'm really sorry. | |
| I have to be able to speak, too. | |
| Not because it's my show, but because that's the way people have civil dialogue. | |
| So, we have zero evidence that people eating face-to-face, outdoors, During the brief time that that was allowed has increased COVID suffering or death. | |
| A state that is open where you can eat indoors as well as outdoors is Florida. | |
| Florida has fewer people per capita dying than California. | |
| Well, he hung up. | |
| Okay. | |
| But the rest of you can hear me. | |
| He may not be. | |
| Florida, they should be dying like flies. | |
| There should be mass suffering and death. | |
| Why are schools closed? | |
| If kids get it, the chances of their getting seriously ill, let alone dying, are minuscule, truly minuscule. | |
| The chances, however, of their lives being adversely, truly adversely affected by no school for a year are tremendous. | |
| The damage being done to America's children is a form of child abuse. | |
| I charge all the teachers unions and every teacher who is a member and supports the union with ruining their children's lives. | |
| But teachers unions care about children and students as much as communists cared about workers. | |
| Teachers unions use students. | |
| They don't give a damn about students. | |
| And cowardly teachers who won't go in a classroom? | |
| I am a senior citizen. | |
| I would walk into any classroom mask-free and teach kids with joy. | |
| Try me out. | |
| Invite me. | |
| You cowards. | |
| You fools. | |
| You corrupting of the kids. | |
| Take your kids out of the schools where teachers refuse to teach your children. | |
| They are abusing your children. | |
| Sweden kept its schools open the entire time. | |
| God Almighty. | |
| Look, half the country agrees with me, and half the country doesn't agree with me. | |
| That's right. | |
| And half the country that disagrees is a frightening half. | |
| Because they will ruin the lives of the entire country, not just the fools who agree with them. | |
| That's the problem. | |
| Because these people have no problem crushing the business. | |
| You know what this is all about. | |
| People who have their incomes are perfectly happy with crushing people who lose their incomes. | |
| Right? | |
| Tell me one official, has Newsom lost his salary? | |
| Tell me one government official who's lost their salary while they force people to lose their incomes. | |
| The callousness in the name of health. | |
| In the name of health. | |
| Health uber alles. | |
| I said this before COVID. The fascist notion, Deutschland uber alles, Germany above all, it's now safety above all. | |
| That's why there are safe spaces at colleges. |
