<\/a>The headline is: “Dr. Fauci Endorses Tinder Hookups ‘If You\u2019re Willing to Take a Risk.'”<\/a> So I had to ask informed, knowing members of the staff what Tinder is. I mean, I\u2019d heard of it, don\u2019t misunderstand. And they told me what it was. It\u2019s a flat-out hookup site. It\u2019s not a dating site. It\u2019s not where you give all your profiles the fact that you like canaries or whatever the stuff is, you know, you like Rod McKuen poetry, none of that. You just specify what kind of thing you\u2019re looking for in a hookup. Is that basically it?<\/p>\nSo the story says: “Tired of having to live your sex life online during lockdown? You\u2019re in luck. Government coronavirus expert Dr. Anthony Fauci says that heartsick isolationists can hook up with asymptomatic Tinder matches in real life — but, like love, it involves some risk. The 79-year-old immunologist dropped the unorthodox dating tip in a Tuesday interview on Snapchat\u2019s ‘Good Luck America.\u2019<\/p>\n
“Toward the end of the taped segment, Fauci was asked: ‘If you\u2019re swiping on a dating app like Tinder, or Bumble or Grindr, and you match with someone that you think is hot, and you\u2019re just kind of like, “Maybe it\u2019s fine if this one stranger comes over.” What do you say to that person?\u2019 ‘You know, that\u2019s tough,\u2019 replied the befuddled National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director to the curveball. ‘Because that\u2019s what\u2019s called relative risk.\u2019<\/p>\n
“Then he dropped the bombshell. ‘If you\u2019re willing to take a risk — and you know, everybody has their own tolerance for risks — you could figure out if you want to meet somebody,\u2019 said Fauci, who was named a candidate for People magazine\u2019s ‘Sexiest Man Alive\u2019 award. He added, ‘If you want to go a little bit more intimate, well, then that\u2019s your choice regarding a risk.'”<\/p>\n
So I didn\u2019t understand this at all. Here is the man who is encouraging keeping your distance, safe distance, social distance, stay at home, six feet, six feet, don\u2019t do anything to violate the six feet, now granting permission to Tinder hookups. So I had to ask, is this actually — what he\u2019s saying is okay to do, if somebody comes over or if you go over to their place, it\u2019s okay to have sex with them? Is that what he\u2019s suggesting? Because that\u2019s what Tinder is, right? Tinder is sex hookups. It\u2019s not relationship central.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Well, yeah, wearing a mask is one thing, but, for crying out loud here. What you need, a six-foot penis? How do you pull this off? I asked Snerdley that question. He about cracked up earlier. Because look, folks, I\u2019m not trying to be funny. I know I\u2019m a naturally funny person. This violates everything we\u2019ve been told and it includes the swapping of what? Precious bodily fluids. And here is Dr. Fauci sanctioning it. If you want to take the risk.<\/p>\n
Now, look, don\u2019t infer a tone in my voice that\u2019s not there. If it\u2019s okay to take the risk for a Tinder hookup, then why can\u2019t you go to a restaurant? Why can\u2019t Andrew Cuomo go see his mom, for example. Can anybody answer this for me? (interruption) Well, that\u2019s the only thing I was thinking, that maybe Dr. Fauci doesn\u2019t know what Tinder is. Well, he may not know what Bumble and Grinder are either, but still he said, you know, the question, if you\u2019re swiping on a dating app, meaning you\u2019re swiping around on the internet, if you\u2019re browsing Tinder, Bumble, or Grinder and you match up with somebody really hot, okay, maybe it\u2019s fine if this one stranger comes over.<\/p>\n
So he\u2019s being asked to respond, if they come over to your crib. There\u2019s only one reason they\u2019re coming over if you\u2019ve met \u2019em on Tinder, and it\u2019s not social distancing and it\u2019s not to brew a bunch of tea, and it\u2019s not to compare scarfs. And he said it\u2019s okay with relative risk. He said if you\u2019re willing to take a risk, you could figure out if you want to meet somebody. Maybe he thinks it\u2019s just meeting somebody. I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Carol in Holbrook, Long Island. I\u2019m glad you waited. You\u2019re next on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hi, Rush. Thank you for taking my call. Okay. I\u2019m calling because, quite frankly, I\u2019m a little bit annoyed with President Trump. I was born and raised in Queens, Long Island, just like him. He is a Long Islander, and yet he signs off on this stimulus package which I really think is a political stunt and gives money to everybody in the nation, but most of Long Island doesn\u2019t qualify because we are the most expensive place to live in the continental United States. We have over 50,000 cases in the two counties alone, and yet my kids didn\u2019t even get a check. And I got a check because I\u2019m retired. If I was still working, I wouldn\u2019t have qualified, either. He knows better, and he just caved to the politics of it. Well, that\u2019s how I feel, and I\u2019m very annoyed. I love Trump, but I\u2019m very annoyed \u2019cause he\u2019s forgotten about Long Island.<\/p>\n
RUSH: I\u2019m sure that there are other places in the country that might have the same complaint, areas of the country where affluence is assumed beyond what maybe is really true. And therefore they are or are not getting money in certain places.<\/p>\n
CALLER: We\u2019re a hot spot. I mean, we are a hot spot, Rush.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah, yeah, yeah, but, Carol, here\u2019s the thing. What this is showing is one thing very clearly. The federal government, no government can take the place of a functioning, roaring economy. The government simply cannot give people enough money to replicate an income, to replicate what they would get from a career or job. They don\u2019t have the means to come up with the money, they don\u2019t have the means for adequate and fair distribution. It\u2019s socialism.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I agree.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/APP-041720-COVID-WH-093.jpg\")
RUSH: And it doesn\u2019t work. And you, unfortunately, live in a hot spot area being victimized by the truth of it.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yes. Well, can I ask one more question? Why are Social Security recipients receiving this? I didn\u2019t lose income during this epidemic. And that\u2019s why I think it\u2019s a political ploy.<\/p>\n
RUSH: To what end? You mean the choice or the determination of who gets a check is politics that Trump is playing?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Absolutely. Well, he signed off on it. I mean, why should I get a check? I\u2019m gonna give it to my kids, but why should I get a check? I\u2019m not even working.<\/p>\n
RUSH: But everybody should be getting a check, doesn\u2019t matter. Whether you\u2019re working or not, you don\u2019t have any money.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Okay. (laughing)<\/p>\n
RUSH: Right?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Okay. And the point is, they can\u2019t give everybody enough money. We printed $6 trillion, and it\u2019s not even making a dent. This ought to wake people up. We had a $22 trillion economy that we just told to go to hell. We sat it down. We turned it off. And it wasn\u2019t long before rent came due. It wasn\u2019t long before credit card payments came due. It wasn\u2019t long before bills of all kinds had to be paid. And with what?<\/p>\n
This is why I have been an early advocate for ending this. Look, I\u2019m not a dunce. We\u2019ve never done this before. We have never, ever. There is no track record for this. We\u2019ve never shut down the economy like this. Oh, we\u2019ve had government shutdowns now and then. We\u2019ve had economic collapses. We had 2007-2008 so-called financial cries. We had the Great Depression. This one we are causing.<\/p>\n
We literally decapitated the world\u2019s most robust economy. I still haven\u2019t gotten over that we did it. And folks, I\u2019m not singling out Trump, the fact that we did it. And I know why we did it. Here came the projections. Here came the models. Remember, I was out for two weeks because of a very bad reaction, some side effects to my Phase One cancer treatment. I\u2019m out two weeks. The first day back is when the models are being used to project all this, and I remember the first hour my voice was really weak, I was still trying to get back in shape.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/thecurve.png\")
I remember plugging through and warning everybody that these models didn\u2019t have a prayer being right because they\u2019re never right, and I correlated them to climate change models that have yet to be correct. And with climate change, man-made climate change, we don\u2019t have any data.<\/p>\n
All we\u2019ve got are model projects of what the fears are 20 and 30 years down the road. We don\u2019t have any data. There isn\u2019t any. Don\u2019t doubt me on this. There isn\u2019t any actual data. Now, you can have left-wing blog sites give you pictures, fraudulent pictures of polar bears on little thin sheets of ice that are made up.<\/p>\n
And you can talk about rising sea levels in Borneo, Bora Bora, that may be temporary, but they\u2019re portrayed as permanent. Or you can talk about the king tides that happen on Honolulu and in Miami which temporarily flood downtown areas, and you can have a picture of that published as though it\u2019s a permanent sea level rise. But legitimate, legislative change has yet to occur.<\/p>\n
It remains model projections, and they haven\u2019t been right. Paul Ehrlich\u2019s models on what would happen if the world population became half what it is today? Do you realize there was gonna be mass starvation? And this guy\u2019s still a guru! He still is a golden source. He\u2019s never been right. These models haven\u2019t been right. So this shutdown has…<\/p>\n
I\u2019m telling you: It has ripped my heart out, because of the effect that it\u2019s having on the people of this country who are just powerless in the face of their government. They have to trust it. They have to trust that what they\u2019re being told to do is for their own benefit, and this… (sigh) Well, a permanent shutdown is certainly undoable.<\/p>\n
I mean, there\u2019s no solution in the midst of a shutdown. Otherwise we\u2019d shutdown permanently if shutdowns were the way to go. If shutdowns were the way to never die, if shutdowns were the way to eliminate risk in life, then we would be living in permanent shutdown — and, of course, we\u2019re not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
