I actually know a lot about the bearded man, not that I am religious, but because I am very well educated - you see, that’s also part of our socialist and communist country; FREE education ❤️
Let me tell you how educated I am, and tell you what the man with no permanent address said, and did:
1) He fed people for free and healed the sick without checking their insurance. That actually kind of sounds like communism.
2) “Love your enemies.” Apparently that commandment is now considered optional.
3) “Turn the other cheek.” Not “TYPE IN ALL CAPS” until everyone surrenders.
4) “You cannot serve both God and money.” But what if the money is held by a Christian billionaire?
5) “Sell your possessions and give to the poor.” So, food assistance is communism and socialism, but private jets are God’s blessing.
6) “Do not judge.” Apparently that can also be read as judge absolutely everyone - preferably loudly and online - and includes lots of hashtags of course.
7) Jesus washed his followers’ feet to demonstrate that leadership means serving others. That does not sound like the orange Jabba the Hutt ‘wanna be’ King to me.
8) “It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.” Terrible slogan for a prosperity-gospel conference don’t you think?
9) “Whatever you did for the least of these, you did for me.” I am wondering if that also includes the uninsured, homeless, hungry and unwanted?
10) “Do not store up treasures for yourselves on earth.” This hurts for some Texas oil billionaires, or for the top 1% I guess. I guess that tells me how foreseen Jesus actually was, and that he also was a true socialist and communist.
I am falling in love with another man - but better keep that a secret.
11) “All who take the sword will perish by the sword.” Surprisingly difficult to reconcile with treating weapons as sacred objects, don’t you think?
12) He actually also rode into town on a donkey, not down a gold escalator. Perhaps that’s why some American Christians no longer recognise him.
13) He also said to pray privately. Your updated reply to that is now “Best I can do is a campaign rally, a 60-foot flag and a merchandise store.” Good enough for me, good enough for you.
14) Then he said “Love your enemies.” Today many of his loudest followers actually mean; more guns, more bombs, harsher punishments and absolutely no compromise. Times have changed I guess.
Last one for today …
15) Finally he said “I was a stranger and you welcomed me.” Hmm I guess someone forgot to tell ICE, or maybe they just disagree with the man.
Well, we will never know, because he is long gone, and maybe it’s all something we just make up. Maybe he was never there actually.
Nevertheless, I couldn’t care less, because to me he is only a very expensive December, with too much crap wrapped and hidden under the Christmas tree.
Great to live in our socialist and communist countries, because all these presents are totally FREE. They are part of our welfare benefits, and we just LOVE everything about it 😀❤️
PS: I will give you a couple more:
16) He told people not to announce their good deeds “with trumpets” just to receive praise. Someone special forgot to listen to this one.
17) He told guests not to grab the most important seat at the table. That’s pretty close to “Grab them by the pussy” I guess.
And the best and most relevant of all - believe it or not:
18) Jesus told a story about a religious man who stood in public and thanked God that he was “not like other people.” Jesus said the humble, despised tax collector - not the self-righteous braggart - went home justified before God. (Luke 18:9-14).
That final one is almost a direct biblical warning against believing you are better than everyone else … hmm how ironic
Kara, your AI-generated answer has accidentally destroyed your own argument ... how ironic 😀
Fauci publicly recommended temporary closures in March 2020. Nobody is denying that. His diary (thanks to Rand Paul) shows that de Blasio and Newsom listened to his advice - which is precisely what advisers are there for.
It does not show Fauci issuing a single order. He had no authority to close a school, bar, restaurant, city or state. Mayors and governors made those decisions.
Your May quotation proves nothing either. Supporting emergency restrictions in March and warning against prolonged lockdowns in May is not a contradiction. The situation changed, so the advice changed.
His later claim that he “didn’t recommend locking anything down” was too broad and deserves criticism - I will give you that one. But that does not make “I did not close the schools” false. Recommending something and possessing the legal authority to enforce it remain two entirely different things.
At best, you’ve found one badly worded denial. You have not proved fraud, and you certainly haven’t proved that Fauci personally closed America.
The funniest part is that your own pasted answer explicitly admits the guidance was non-binding and that governors and mayors made the decisions.
Your chatbot understood the distinction, Kara. You didn’t 🤣
Scott, what exactly did you want Fauci to condemn - the health risk, or BLM itself?
Because he was perfectly clear about the risk. He called the protests a “perfect setup” for spreading COVID, warned people to avoid crowds and repeated the same point in this hearing.
But Jordan wanted more. He wanted Fauci to single out one political movement, demand that its protests be shut down and start talking about arrests. That wasn’t a medical question - and it wasn't a question for Fauco to answer. You guys are expecting too much from this guy - and not enough from your politicians.
A real American has arrived 😀 Enormous flag, enormous mouth - and apparently not a single fact to contribute.
Hey bro, I’m not defending a “saint.” I’m defending the very simple difference between a medical adviser giving health advice and elected politicians making laws. Fauci explains it repeatedly in the clip.
If you can challenge that with facts, go ahead - otherwise, I’m moving on, cowboy.
@ClosingTime9@adamcarolla The media is not Fauci. If your argument has already moved from what Fauci actually said to what you think “the media” said, I think we’re done here!
Thanks for the video - now I finally know what 6 feet feels like.
Physical distancing was used across the world. WHO recommended at least one metre. Britain used two metres. Australia used 1.5 metres. America used six feet - approximately 1.8 metres. Kind of a mixed bag, right.
Do you seriously believe Fauci invented physical distancing in a wet dream and the rest of the world copied him? Only a true American would believe this - that the big USA sets the direction, and everyone blindly follows ... ha ha :-)
He followed the same common-sense conclusion shared by public-health scientists everywhere: the closer you are to an infected person, the greater the risk; putting more space between people reduces that risk. Pretty simple thinking!
Was six feet proven to be the one perfect number - not five, seven or eight feet? It was a simple, cautious guideline created during an emergency, when governments needed to turn incomplete scientific knowledge into advice ordinary people could actually follow.
Different countries chose different distances because nobody knew the perfect number. That does not mean distancing had no scientific basis - and it certainly doesn’t prove Fauci enacted policy. You guys are so black and white in your naive attempt to blame someone for all your inconsistent behaviour.
He communicated medical advice. The CDC issued guidance. Politicians and legally empowered agencies enacted the rules. Same playbook as I have replied before.
That is some wonderfully convenient science: your protesters apparently scream and shout non-stop, while your church friends just sit indoors in complete silence ... that's funny :-)
Yes, shouting can spread more virus. But, so can singing - and churches are rather famous for groups of people singing loudly together indoors, can we agree on that? I could just as easily stand quietly outside at a protest while an entire congregation sings for an hour inside.
The real risk depends on where people are, how crowded it is, how long they stay, whether they wear masks and what they are actually doing. The virus doesn’t check whether you’re carrying a protest sign or if you are singing out loud at the church.
Fauci never claimed protests were safe. He said crowds carried risk, regardless of their purpose. Very clearly actually!
Your accusation depends on a timeline that never happened!
Fauci did not suddenly fall silent when the BLM protests began. He publicly warned that mass demonstrations were a “perfect setup” for spreading the virus and applied the same medical standard to protests and Trump rallies: avoid large crowds; if you attend, wear a mask and keep your distance. Pretty god damn clear if you ask me!
In this hearing, he says it again: every crowd carries risk, regardless of why people have gathered.
What he refuses to do is pretend that he has the authority to decide which gatherings politicians should outlaw or whom the police should arrest. Fauci advised on the health risks. Elected officials made the legal and political decisions.
So, he didn’t change his position - you simply didn’t bother to find out what his position was before calling everyone else dumb.
So who is the clown now?
You’re right about exactly one thing: Fauci regularly gave public-health recommendations (another word for advice!)
What you conveniently erase is that he gave them about these protests too.
In June Fauci came with several warnings:
"The demonstrations a “perfect setup” for spreading the virus and said participating increased a person’s risk"
"That masks were not enough without physical distance"
"The safest option was to avoid large gatherings - and explicitly applied the exact same advice to protests and Trump rallies"
During this hearing, he told Jordan again: crowding, particularly without masks, contributes to transmission, and people should avoid crowds of every kind.
Fauci answered the medical question repeatedly.
Jordan then replaced it with a completely different question: Should the government prohibit protests, and should people be arrested? Seriously ...
Fauci didn’t write the laws, issue the restrictions, control the police or decide which constitutionally protected activities governments could prohibit. He was a medical adviser. Governors and other elected officials made those decisions.
That is not Fauci dodging the question. It’s Jordan demanding that a public-health adviser accept responsibility for political and legal decisions that were never his to make.
The “gotcha” works only if you erase Fauci’s previous warnings, ignore the answers he gives in the clip and pretend that providing medical advice is the same as possessing the legal authority to ban protests or order arrests.
It isn’t!
Jordan knew it - and now you do too.
Adam, this clip is a perfect example - not of Fauci being exposed, but of how the entire case against him has been manufactured.
Fauci explains REPEATEDLY that his job is to assess the public-health risk of crowds. The virus doesn’t care whether people are protesting, praying in a church, attending a political rally or watching football.
But Fauci does not write laws, ban protests, close churches or decide whom the police should arrest. Politicians make those decisions. He provides medical input - and he could hardly say that any more clearly.
Jordan isn’t listening because he doesn’t want the answer. He wants Fauci to accept responsibility for political decisions that were never his to make. Then you proudly admit that you stopped listening to Fauci altogether.
That isn’t critical thinking, Adam. It’s a confession: you chose your villain first, ignored the distinction between advice and authority, and then refused to hear anything that might challenge your conclusion.
This video doesn’t prove Fauci was “captured by the left.” It proves you were captured by a narrative - and willingly chose to remain there.
Only Ted Cruz could steal Trump’s “shoot someone” boast to attack Fauci - while still kneeling before the man who actually said it.
Trump bragged he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue without losing voters, and you’ve spent ten years proving him right.
This isn’t law or principle. It’s cult obedience from a spineless hypocrite whose memory resets whenever Trump speaks.
You’re not exposing Fauci, Ted. You’re exposing yourself as the punchline to Trump’s boast.

And why the fuck would you ask him stupid question like that? He has made it pretty god damn clear that he doesn’t trust you guys … which is completely understandable with all the BS you guys are spitting out every hour. So why do you continue wasting everyone’s time by asking stupid questions.
You know what day it is today, right?
You can see the colour of his tie yourself.
And if you want to know what colour the carpet is, then take a fucking look yourself.
You are seriously one of the most disgusting human beings I have ever come across on any social media platform.
OMG, you are taking repulsive and despicable to a whole new dimension.
What in the hell are you talking about, Mike?
You Republicans are completely obsessed with “communism” and “socialism.” It is deranged - and painfully obvious that you have ZERO idea what either word actually means.
Let’s make this very simple.
Imagine a town with bakeries, farms, factories and banks.
CAPITALISM
• Most businesses, farms, factories and banks are owned by private people and companies.
• The private owners make the decisions and keep the profits.
• The government can still own public hospitals, schools, utilities and infrastructure such as roads and bridges.
• It can still provide healthcare benefits, public education, welfare and food assistance to people who qualify.
• None of that changes the basic economic system. If most of the economy remains privately owned, competitive and market-driven, it remains capitalist.
• This is how the American economy works - and how most economies across Europe and the Western world work. They are mixed economies built on capitalist foundations. America is not different or unique in that respect.
SOCIALISM
• Most of the important businesses and industries are owned by the public, workers or local communities instead of private owners.
• Private businesses can still exist, but that is depending on the type of socialism.
• Simply owning roads, bridges, hospitals or a few public services does not make an entire country socialist.
• The main difference is that ownership and control of most of the productive economy move from private owners to the public or workers - not that the government provides benefits.
COMMUNISM
• Major factories, banks, energy companies and large farms are not supposed to be owned by private individuals or shareholders.
• In theory, they belong to everyone. In practice, the government owns or controls them and makes the decisions “for everyone.”
• The state decides how major businesses operate, what they produce, where money is invested and how resources are distributed.
• Communist countries have usually been one-party states: one Communist Party controls the government, while genuine political competition is heavily restricted or does not exist.
• Because the same party controls both the government and much of the economy, it has enormous power over businesses, jobs, education, media and most major decisions affecting society.
• This is an entire system of concentrated political and economic control.

Now imagine that the bakery is still privately owned, but the government helps a poor family buy bread.
That is a social benefit. It has not changed who owns the bakery.
Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, public schools and food assistance work the same way. They help people, but they do not transfer ownership of America’s businesses, factories, banks or farms to the government.
Helping someone buy bread is not the same as taking ownership of the bakery.
That is the difference you either don’t not understand - or desperately hope your voters never will.
The irony is almost painful for you Mike!
The latest Census estimate puts approximately 134,500 people in your own district below the poverty line, while KFF estimated that 288,400 residents - about 38% of your district - were enrolled in Medicaid in 2024.
Many of the people you represent are precisely the people who would benefit most from a stronger social safety net.
Yet you keep brainwashing Americans into believing that every public benefit is a Soviet invasion - and that the USSR is somehow rising from the grave to conquer America through healthcare, schools and affordable groceries.
You are not fighting communism. You are manufacturing fear because frightened voters are easier to manipulate.
You are a complete lunatic, and every day you keep spitting out all this deranged propaganda.

@CalltoActivism Ha ha ... that video has been banned from Fox News and Newsmax, so no one knows about it - they are sudden very silent. But let's remind them about some of the criminal acts their orange Jabba the Hutt has committed - including his ass ugly family, who also belongs in prison.
@MAGAVoice What about your orange Jabba the Hutt clown? If anyone should be put in prison - then Mr. Orange is candidate #1 - and bring the rest of his ass ugly and criminal family as well.
Republicans today are so delusional - and so far up their own asses - that they can no longer recognise hypocrisy even when they are drowning in it.
The sheer amount of Republican content covering Anthony Fauci’s hearing is mind-blowing. One 85-year-old scientist has suddenly awakened the entire Republican Party from its moral coma.
According to the MAGA outrage machine, Fauci killed countless Americans. He lied. He did it for fame. He enriched himself. He belongs in prison. Some are even demanding the death penalty.
The accusations grow more deranged by the hour.
That is precisely the standard Republicans abandon whenever the person being investigated is Donald J. Trump.
Fauci spent 54 years at the National Institutes of Health - 38 of them leading NIAID - and served under presidents from both parties.
But MAGA has already delivered its verdict: LOCK HIM UP!
Meanwhile, their orange Jabba the Hutt has spent the past few years producing an endless conveyor belt of convictions, corruption, conflicts of interest, personal enrichment and abuse of presidential power - and Republicans have responded with absolute silence.
So let us remind these painfully incompetent hypocrites about only some of what we already know.
Where was the Republican outrage?
Where were Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley and James Comer?
Suddenly blind. Suddenly mute. Suddenly completely uninterested in accountability, corruption, personal enrichment or the rule of law.
You do not have to believe Fauci was flawless. You do not have to agree with every pandemic decision he made. But watching Republicans threaten an 85-year-old lifelong public servant with prison - or worse - while behaving like obedient little altar boys around America’s most openly corrupt political family is beyond grotesque.
It is a political weapon pointed exclusively at their enemies.
Fauci gets 111 questions. Trump gets 111 excuses.
