The winner of our grand prize is announced! Tim Aardsma from Des Moines, Iowa! Thanks to everyone for all of the support and all the support you all have shown. We will be picking one lucky winner at random at the end of the month!
00:37:06.000I can see through your camera because you don't have ExpressVPN.
00:37:09.000Thank you so much for Mug Club quarantine and the support.
00:37:12.000Glad to be back and happy to announce the winner is Tim A. from Des Moines, Iowa.
00:37:17.000You are the winner of our grand prize.
00:37:18.000We will fly you and a friend out to the studio here in the great state of Texas to sit in our live studio audience, be featured in a sketch, unless you have some kind of a contagious virus, in which case we will send you a fruit basket.
00:42:22.000Obviously we already announced the winner who's going to come out here live with us, but listen, we got a lot of feedback from folks who really liked Good Morning Mug Club.
00:42:31.000People saying we don't want this to stop because we like doing this with our morning commute and we like watching it live in the morning.
00:42:36.000New schedule, Thursday is still going to be the same, and we are going to be doing Good Morning Mug Club going forward Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and the same big-ass show live on Thursday.
00:44:01.000Have you noticed that climate change activists now, they're trying to co-opt the coronavirus for their own filthy means, their own wet market means.
00:44:10.000So I want to know if you notice that right now, and I think a lot of people do, but I guess it should be to what degree you think that a pandemic justifies a global government takeover.
00:48:30.000But we will be talking about the UN and Greta Thunberg, so you know, that'll be more informative.
00:48:37.000Switching—actually, the latest, of course, COVID-19 news.
00:48:40.000I thought we would be done with this by the time we're through the month, but it's no—did you know it's no longer about flat—you thought it was about flattening the curve.
00:49:11.000This has led the World Health Organization, the CDC, and leading health officials to chip off San Francisco with an ice pick and push it off into the middle of the ocean.
00:50:39.000A lot of people say that the Asians... You're out here flattening number two and I'm already on number three.
00:50:43.000I appreciate that, I bet you, because a lot of people say that the Chinese are only good at taking technology that we develop and then steal it.
00:50:48.000But the fact is, they are the ones, when it comes to creating new viruses, they're like Thomas Edison.
00:51:03.000Governor Whitmer, this is something that's been, people have been upset about.
00:51:11.000I don't want to say upset, but there's been a huge reaction.
00:51:13.000I understand that we have to have signers for people who are on TV, hearing impaired, but there's been a reaction to this because now it is just, the signing is distracting and it's gotten out of hand.
00:51:26.000I know that this has been a hard time for people trying to make ends meet when everything's essentially shut down and especially for small business owners who've built up something over the course of decades and they're worried.
00:52:15.000People have been saying this is a little bit distracting.
00:52:18.000But I think a lot of people, since this is sort of a local politician who's been thrust in the national spotlight, you're not aware of this.
00:52:23.000If you know her history, it's actually a serious improvement.
00:52:28.000Each of the actions that we've taken, though, has been because of the incredible threat that COVID-19 has presented to our state.
00:52:35.000The number of lives lost, the incredible spread.
00:52:38.000In Shiawassee County, which is where this barber's shop is, we have 196 confirmed cases of COVID-19 right now.
00:52:47.000We've had 13 deaths in that county alone.
00:52:50.000And the protections and the work that we've done is to protect... Look, everybody's got a carrot top on the payroll.
00:53:55.000So, um, and this is, I do want to move on.
00:53:59.000So this is actually, I think, going on right, it might be going on at the same time right now, the, uh, the, the CNN, uh, Climate Town Hall.
00:54:20.000So it's a CNN town hall, and this is actually going to have former acting CDC director Richard Besser, former HHS secretary Kathleen Sebelius, and activist Greta Thunberg.
00:54:31.000They join Anderson Cooper and Dr. Sanjay Gupta for a live scene in Town Hall.
00:55:05.000So I do think a couple of facts to kind of hit and then we'll discuss this a little bit.
00:55:09.000Of course the left have tried to set this up already.
00:55:11.000They're attacking anyone who questions the COVID stats.
00:55:14.000Not even the COVID statistics, but the initial coronavirus statistics that have been proven verifiably false.
00:55:19.000The four to seven percent death rates, the two million dead.
00:55:21.000By the way, a super shout out to our wonderful researcher Reg So they've been trying to frame, of course, everyone who says, you know what?
00:55:35.000I think we need to reopen the economy.
00:55:36.000I think we need to balance lives and livelihoods as science deniers, right?
00:55:40.000And so they're trying to now equate the denial of COVID being, you know, a virus with a 10% death rate or like Ebola with a 50% death rate.
00:55:51.000These people deny science just like climate change.
00:55:52.000Okay, we'll come back to this in a second.
00:55:54.000AOC, she even did a video where she was talking about COVID being a test run for how to approach climate change, and she's been saying that the Green New Deal is scientifically necessary.
00:56:04.000It started with politicians who ignored warnings by scientists.
00:56:09.000It continued through a program of us knowing that we needed to act quickly and needed to take dramatic action fast in order to contain the damage.
00:56:19.000There's so much that's politically vested in making sure that we don't do that, right?
00:56:25.000For example, this idea, it's like when scientists and epidemiologists started saying, listen, we have to shut down our cities and our states immediately, right now, just as an immediate precaution, because we did not take action earlier.
00:56:42.000The communities that suffer first are the ones that are working class, Black, brown, essential workers, all of that parallels with the climate movement.
00:58:15.000So another fact, the World Economic Forum, lest you think I make this up, them trying to inextricably tie this, they're now calling for a flattening of the climate curve.
00:59:09.000Like AOC, to discuss the current COVID-19 pandemic, offer lessons on how shared global solutions can help beat back the continued threat of climate change.
00:59:18.000So a couple of things here, by the way, hit the notification bell if you're subscribed, hit all notifications because subscriptions don't mean a whole lot, and just check in every single day here because we do new videos every day, and of course Crowder Bits.
00:59:27.000This is remarkable to me, and I want to hear what you guys have to say about this because we've heard from the experts.
00:59:34.000Who is denying science when we... I mean, let's just use the most extreme examples, okay?
00:59:39.000The most extreme examples humanly possible.
00:59:41.000The people who said, oh, this is about comparable to the flu, and they were just excoriating, like, I can't believe... They were taken behind the woodshed.
00:59:56.000Let's say we're at 150,000 deaths flu season.
00:59:58.000We've had flu seasons with 80,000 deaths versus 2 million.
01:00:01.000It is so much closer to the crazy non-experts who said it's more comparable to the flu that it wouldn't even appear on the same line chart.
01:00:10.000And one of the first things that they said was that John Cornyn tweeted out, he said, after this is all done, we need to have a good faith discussion about these models.
01:00:18.000And that's what they said made him a denier.
01:01:59.000Okay, you shut down for a little bit or you take some precautionary measures.
01:02:03.000You quarantine the sick and the vulnerable because that's typically what you do.
01:02:05.000You quarantine the sick, not the healthy.
01:02:07.000That's understandable, especially when we were hearing from China, by the way, in the World Health Organization, that it could be a 7%... Well, of course we want to do that.
01:02:13.000But now, in the face of overwhelming data, where even leftist governors tell us, okay, it's about a 0.5% death rate at the top end, in the face of data, you are still pushing to ruin people's lives.
01:02:34.000Well, and that they're using the same term that evidently worked to make people shut down the entire economy makes you realize, oh, that's the goal.
01:02:49.000And in the article that even went back, just going back on that point, said that if the basic thing was saying that people were a climate denier, there's the same people that are saying the COVID thing wasn't, the models weren't wrong.
01:03:02.000Social distancing happened, you closed it down, and we're like, wait a minute, no, you factored that in to begin with, and you said that even with that, this was going to be the case.
01:03:08.000So tell me, in the climate thing, what you're going to do.
01:03:11.000Then you're going to change the model, and then you're going to move the goalposts again, and then you're going to exclude China from the equation, and then we're still all going to burn.
01:03:16.000They've been wrong at nearly every single turn.
01:03:18.000I don't want to be Donald Trump, but they've been wrong at every single turn.
01:03:51.000And I'm not saying that not having lockdowns is more effective than having lockdowns.
01:03:55.000I'm saying there is no rhyme or reason at this point when you look at the statistics outside of the fact that It's dangerous if you're over 80 or have pre-existing comorbidities.
01:04:13.000Like, they're seeing kind of this cliff fall-off that we talked about that other nations around the world... Well, and I wonder if not just fine, because of course, every life matters.
01:04:27.000Every year we have a death by automobile accident risk, or by murder, or by something happening in the hospital when you go in for a procedure that's not supposed to kill you that accidentally does.
01:04:36.000And all of a sudden... Like Michael Myers showing up in the sequel.
01:04:44.000But the comparison to reality of how many lives are actually lost and the changes, it's not just about how many more lives have been lost due to COVID, but compared to what our normal death rates would have been, compared to the risk like you're saying, and when you actually do that and you're not just screaming about politics and people saying if you open the economy you hate every human being, it all falls apart.
01:05:06.000Well, you had a point you were making before the show, too, that you see this as a push for a global government.
01:05:11.000I think that, you know, there was no question that earlier, pre-corona, there was a push for having that type of globalization and interconnectedness and ultimately a level of authority beyond just the UN and Geneva Conventions and those types of things.
01:05:25.000But to say, you know, that the United States and other countries should cede their authority to international governments to control these issues.
01:05:31.000And that's not to say that it's not better for us to cooperate, but there's a difference between cooperation and ceding authority.
01:05:38.000And here now the push has become even further.
01:05:40.000Well, we couldn't use Corona to push it because obviously Corona says you need to go the opposite direction.
01:05:45.000You need to make sure you're independently based or not.
01:05:47.000is dependent on foreign powers and global supply chains.
01:05:50.000But so now they're having to say, well, okay, that's not working, so let's move to the
01:06:42.000But, I mean, think about how dumb that sounds.
01:06:44.000Like, climate change is so bad that Mother Nature is saying, well, if they don't listen on this, maybe they'll listen to this virus and they'll get the bigger picture.
01:06:52.000Like, that's what they're saying they're going to have to use.
01:07:50.000You guys wanted to shove everything in there with earmarks and God knows what.
01:07:53.000It was the Republicans who said we need to do this so that we can flatten the curve.
01:07:56.000Now that we've flattened the curve, and you're talking about another stimulus, which a lot of it can be a big giant kickback to the postal union when you actually look at what they want to do.
01:08:05.000Now you're trying to play politics with it and say Republicans are trying to stop the spending bill?
01:08:09.000You guys were doing it when we actually needed it.
01:08:12.000But let's assume for a second when people say, well, there's no choice between making a living in the economy or staying healthy if the government just does its job.
01:08:51.000That businesses, it's a self-sustaining charity.
01:08:54.000You go to your local coffee shop, you go to your restaurant, that allows them to provide a living, not only for the business owners, but their employees, when you are voluntarily offering money for goods or services.
01:09:04.000And something else that I think is undeniable here, while we're talking about the climate change green movement, and they want to equate the two, and you know what?
01:10:08.000And then when I go to check out, they have a big sign like, it is with extreme sadness that we have to inform you, due to the coronavirus, we are not accepting reusable bags at this time.
01:10:20.000And then when you go to the coffee shop, it is with extreme sadness that we tell you that we are not accepting reusable cups at this time.
01:10:28.000And then I go to the airport, and I go, you know what?
01:10:54.000And the sink shuts off, because it's a green sink.
01:10:56.000And I can't use paper towels, because it's a blow dryer.
01:10:59.000When it comes down to saving human lives, well, unless we have to get rid of the absurdity of the plastic, the reusable bags, which, by the way, are worse for the environment, and the reusable cups, we're not going to do that anymore.
01:11:24.000This is what the left would see when they see the evolution of man going up, going up, and then down to a squatty potty, and then eventually it's made of hemp, and then there's s*** in a hole in the ground.
01:11:35.000So when we're talking about this, yeah, listen, my position, and I think everyone here on climate change is not, there's no such thing as climate change.
01:11:42.000No, listen, I think the Earth has warmed.
01:11:44.000I think that humans may be contributing a significant amount to it.
01:11:48.000As to whether it will have catastrophic results, I'm not entirely sure.
01:11:51.000As to the proposed global legislation that would kill people undeniably, expecting, of course, China to play ball, which they've vocally expressed they will not.
01:11:59.000No, I don't believe that politically it will make any difference.
01:12:02.000And, as it relates to coronavirus, I believe it will lie to, or at the very least provide misinformation, certainly from China, certainly from experts who said we're going to have 2 million people dead.
01:12:08.000I believe it will shut down the economy, based on statistics that couldn't exactly be observed.
01:13:07.000Jobs are a thing, the advance of technology, the mining for precious materials to be able to use in the technology that is actually being used to make ventilators or life-saving technology.
01:13:17.000All that requires... Also solar panels.
01:13:24.000All of those things require a use of the environment.
01:13:26.000There's no question that we need to do it in a safe way, and certainly in a safe way to protect human lives.
01:13:32.000But without any question, we have to be able to continue this march of progress in a direction that allows for using the environment, whereas the green movement is unquestionably against jobs, against economies, against communities, and against not just our nation, but against any nation.
01:13:49.000But what's so funny to me is they talk about, you know, this global economy, right?
01:13:57.000But really, when you think about it, okay, you look at the globe, and you look at the green movement, and then they have the gall to tell us, well, really the people most affected by environmental pollutants are minorities in the United States.
01:14:08.000So the people most affected by coronavirus in the United States are black people.
01:14:12.000Who's most affected by the Green New Deal?
01:14:15.000Who's most affected by the COTA protocol which would skyrocket energy costs, which for us is mildly inconvenient because you drive a crossover, but for someone in Zambia, or honestly you don't have to go that far, for someone in Mexico, if you can wander out of your Cancun booze cruise resort, they work all week just to get enough fuel so they can heat a can of beans on an old ironing board in a drum.
01:14:36.000Who do you think is most affected by your green policy?
01:15:03.000It's more important than people being autonomous and being able to make their own livings.
01:15:08.000So, I won't, I'm not going to make any sacrifices that alter.
01:15:11.000And as it relates to being anti-science, being, I'm a climate denier, as well as a coronavirus denier, I think you can look at the track record of where we've lined up on climate change, where we've lined up on coronavirus, and it's remarkable, remarkable that we've gotten very little wrong, honestly.
01:15:26.000I was speaking from my gut, thinking this is going to come back to bite me in the ass.
01:17:33.000At least what you do online is your business.
01:17:36.000Protect your business with ExpressVPN.
01:17:41.000Well, that seems like a fun date slash movie night.
01:17:44.000If you're not using ExpressVPN, it's like leaving your front door open, by the way.
01:17:47.000If you're not using any VPN, and I recommend ExpressVPN because they're one of, well, the only VPN I know of as far as the major VPNs that didn't have any kind of a security reach without telling people.
01:17:55.000So it's a VPN that we use here to secure internet data.
01:17:58.000Just click one button on your computer or your smartphone, you are protected.
01:18:02.000So visit, please, my special link right now.
01:21:41.000I was so disappointed when I found out that Carlton was actually Carlton in real life.
01:21:47.000You just hoped he was like a, you know, a black Daniel Day-Lewis, and you realize, no, he's a one-note actor.
01:21:56.000But he'll make a killing in Hallmark Films.
01:22:00.000Okay, so before I want to talk about Ahmaud Arbery, because you guys released some videos on this, and I want to be clear for people who are out there.
01:22:08.000Watch the whole videos in context, right?
01:22:10.000So I know that this is a show, so I have to run a clip, but I encourage you to watch the full videos in context, because if you look at people who've covered the videos, they've taken them out of context, people get really mad.
01:22:20.000But if you look at the comments in the full videos, people go, oh, this is pretty balanced and objective.
01:22:25.000So that being said, here is a clip, which may be offensive, but funny.
01:24:30.000That was very funny, and that wasn't about Ahmaud Arbery.
01:24:33.000If you watch it, you guys said, these are the facts that we know, and you laid out, and you even did an update when the video came out.
01:24:39.000And I have to be, uh, full disclosure here, you know, last week we were working on taping sketches, And we were working behind the scenes because we did the Mug Club Quarantine Month, so I shut off from news that I can focus on some of the work that needs to come in.
01:24:50.000And it was hard for me to keep track or to get info when I was searching on this.
01:24:54.000So I want to be clear for people to know there.
01:24:56.000There's a joke, right, separate from, and then you guys, I think we're pretty fair in covering the Ahmaud Arbery case.
01:25:02.000So let people know who don't exactly know, because it's hard for me, and this is how I make a living, to kind of navigate my way through it.
01:26:35.000Obviously, it would be better if the guy had not been shot.
01:26:38.000And obviously, if someone comes up with a shotgun, it's natural to react and defend yourself.
01:26:44.000But something that changes that, which we don't know yet, did the guy who called the police So they obviously don't, it doesn't seem like they were planning on shooting an unarmed black man if they call the police and say, Hey, we're here.
01:27:36.000And that's what's so concerning to me is we don't know and right away you go, well then we're going to have to fill in the blanks like Trayvon Martin and Brown.
01:28:34.000All the evidence that I see in this video, him, Stop and look around, sprinting in the house, and then being spooked and people, and he takes off running.
01:28:43.000And the thing that, still his fate in my book, and I don't see how anybody can defend this, when he runs around the truck, he could have kept straight running, but he decided to run into the McMichael's son and grab his shotgun.
01:29:00.000I mean, I hate it that the young man lost his life, but come on.
01:29:04.000Yeah, I will say that in your video you said that you would tell your sons that if ever they were approached with a gun and someone said, you know, hey, we call the police to wait for the police to try and de-escalate the situation.
01:29:16.000To play devil's advocate a little bit here, I will say, listen, there's information that we have that he didn't, we know that these guys called the cops, the father and son, I keep forgetting it's like some, McMichaels, McMichaels?
01:29:32.000So there is, there could be a scenario, for example, let's say it's, it could be your son, it could be anybody, where someone says, hey, we've called the cops, stay where you are.
01:29:38.000And you could think, what if they're trying to kidnap me?
01:29:40.000I don't know that they've called the cops.
01:29:42.000And that could be a fight or flight response.
01:29:43.000So that's why I say, we don't know as to whether the reaction was, it could have been appropriate.
01:29:49.000We know that they did call the cops, but he didn't know that at the time.
01:29:52.000So is that at all something that sort of comes into play here that, why would he trust they've called the cops?
01:31:30.000So I just say that upon retrospect, it was a bad decision for me to make.
01:31:34.000What do you think we'll see as this sort of unfurls here, this case?
01:31:39.000I mean, I think everybody's so biased.
01:31:43.000People are like, whoever's standable for Mark, they're gonna stand with him even if these guys are found not guilty.
01:31:49.000I mean, I just think the situation could have been handled totally different.
01:31:53.000I mean, I have a gun, I have a CCW, I use it to preserve life.
01:31:56.000I'm not out here trying to play Rambo and arrest people.
01:31:59.000The most I would have did in that situation, if I felt I had to do something, was to call the cops and maybe follow them until the cops show up to grab them.
01:32:06.000That's the only thing I would have did.
01:32:48.000If I'd have went in somebody's house, I know I'm breaking the law.
01:32:51.000If I take off running and somebody gives chase, I'm going to stop.
01:32:54.000That's what a reasonable person would have done if they were scared, but I don't know what this man was thinking when he Yeah, I think we're going to have to wait.
01:33:04.000I think there are a couple of lessons that can be learned right now.
01:33:07.000If people are watching, we're going to go to a web extended and talk fitness and quarantine in a little bit.
01:33:11.000I think that two lessons that I see from this, before we have all the information, is try and remove ego from the equation.
01:33:16.000Because we can see that with, we look at Trayvon, there's an ego thing there.
01:33:19.000If he didn't get on top of Zimmerman and punch him, Zimmerman's a dick, we know that now, but he'd be alive.
01:33:25.000If Mike Brown had gotten out of the street, like Darren Wilson requested, instead of punching a cop to prove, he'd be alive right now.
01:33:31.000In this case, let's, we don't know if it was ego driven, but I think for everyone out there, don't let ego make your decisions when you're in a pressure cooker, when you don't, when you're in a volatile situation.
01:33:40.000And the other thing I think, Don't bring a firearm out of your holster, don't ever bring it into the equation, unless you understand that that immediately escalates it, and there's a strong likelihood, or a strong-ger likelihood, that you might have to use it.
01:33:56.000I think everyone needs to follow that.
01:33:57.000Like, if you're calling the cops, at that point, call the cops, wait for the cops to come, keep trailing the people, let the cops do their job.
01:34:03.000Don't call the cops, and then also show a gun, because you never know how someone's going to react, and I think that's understandable.
01:35:59.000The good news is, I have a trick that'll help improve it.
01:36:01.000What I do is I hit brew for just enough time for it to saturate the coffee grounds, and once it starts to drip even a little bit, I'm gonna stop it.
01:36:10.000You're gonna see a little bit of a trickle.
01:36:11.000I let that saturate for a little bit of time.
01:36:13.000Now that it's been sitting for a little bit of time, I'm going to make one six ounce cup, and now I'm gonna hit brew.
01:36:23.000We've just eliminated the variables that typically make a really crappy cup of coffee for most of these.
01:39:10.000Yeah, they brought in makeup for my senior year picture, and the worst part about it— Just for you.
01:39:16.000That's almost the opposite of the direction of this story, which is why it was just shattering to my self-confidence, because you have to stand in line and watch them doll up everybody else.
01:39:28.000And you see like, oh, that's three people up.
01:41:26.000I'm going to this park and I want to make sure that I'm not arrested because I have an anniversary with my wife because people are getting fined and arrested.
01:41:32.000And what he was saying was, listen, I'm not going to do that.
01:41:35.000I don't have the authority to do that as a sheriff, but I will break it up.
01:41:39.000I will break it up, and I will tell you to be sensible, but I'm not going to put you in cuffs.
01:42:34.000Let me pause at something for a minute.
01:42:36.000And we ultimately came to more of an understanding.
01:42:38.000I think people need to understand that, yeah, I think a lot of millennials out there, I think a lot of young people do suffer from anxiety.
01:42:45.000And I do think that they can have anxiety that is worse than people from the greatest generation, you know, people who were out there in World War II.
01:42:53.000And this is why I think we're seeing a lot of it with coronavirus.
01:42:56.000You really shouldn't be that anxious if you believe that it's a period of two months, or even if it's a period of a year, and things will go back to normal and basically stay home and collect a check.
01:43:07.000That shouldn't be super anxiety-inducing.
01:43:09.000Certainly not as anxiety-inducing as storming the beaches of Normandy.
01:43:13.000But you know what I see, and I get a lot of letters from you guys and girls out there, and gals, guys and gals, you got the horse right here!
01:43:42.000I know, AudioEd, you said during the Mug Club quarantine month, you would often be so tired sometimes at the end of the day, because you would have to have all these conversations and direct people, and didn't always have as much to show for it physically.
01:43:54.000Well, I didn't write these jokes, but I had to make sure that these trains ran on time.
01:43:59.000And that can create a lot of anxiety for people because, wrongfully so in that case, I mean, sometimes people feel like, well, I haven't accomplished anything.
01:44:06.000But you see that with a lot of young people.
01:44:08.000They're going out into the world, and yeah, sure, I think it's valid.
01:44:11.000I think rather than just dismissing millennials, a lot of people do this, I think it's wrong to say, OK, boomer.
01:44:15.000And the only reason people say, OK, boomer, is because really you have a generation that was flower power hippies taking daisies and rifles, and now they elected Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump.
01:44:28.000I hate the OK boomer thing, but I also hate it when people just dismiss millennials as, oh, they're entitled.
01:44:32.000What do they have to be anxious about?
01:44:34.000Well, they have a few things to be anxious about on a very observable level, right?
01:44:37.000They are going out into a far more crowded, more competitive workspace.
01:44:42.000But to get more specific, I hear this a lot where they say, you know, when I grew up, we didn't have these phones, we didn't have smartphones, we didn't have all this access to technology, we had to go off to war.
01:44:51.000Do I think that a millennial who's leaving college with a gender studies degree, or with a liberal arts degree, or with a creative arts degree, or German poetry, or underwater basket weaving, take your pick, do I think that them leaving college today, living at home, not gainfully employed, Is it possible that they are more anxious than the 16-year-old who was drafted fighting in World War II?
01:46:47.000Not necessarily, because a portion of that equation is purpose.
01:46:52.000And if you know that, hey, there's a chance you might lose your life here, but it's because you're trying to stop the greatest evil that's ever happened in humanity from marching across the rest of Europe and then finally making it across the pond, well, guess what?
01:48:50.000No one in our age... Did you ever leave school thinking that you were going to have a job with benefits, pension, retirement package until age 65?
01:48:58.000That's most people our age because you have to.
01:49:02.000And so we have people less equipped going into a world that's going to treat them more harshly.
01:49:07.000Whereas at one point we had school equipping people by dealing with them more harshly so that they went into a world more equipped.
01:49:15.000And I say this because, listen, I know a lot of folks out there, sometimes you're trying to fix this problem where you feel anxious, where you feel like, oh, you're on edge and you don't know what to do.
01:49:24.000And I see a lot of times people go like, oh yeah, you know, I'm just, I'm just so tense.
01:49:27.000I'm just so edgy, but I don't want to put any more on my plate because I don't think I could handle it.
01:49:32.000No, no, you're edgy and anxious precisely because you've got an empty plate, son.
01:49:40.000I want you to consider, first, everyone else out there who's saying, Millennials, they have no reason to be anxious.
01:49:43.000Actually, they have a lot of reasons to be anxious, unfortunately.
01:49:46.000And that's because a lot of us have failed them.
01:49:48.000Now, if you're one of those people who find yourself anxious, and you're not in the greatest war ever, well, that would be the First World War, so I know someone's going to call me on that, but one of the most violent, certainly intimidating wars of all time, but you find yourself anxious, I want you to ask yourself, what do you have on your plate?
01:50:05.000Why is it, ask yourself, why is it that your great-grandfather, who killed 50 men, wasn't as anxious as you are when he was in a pressure cooker?
01:50:17.000What is it that's missing there that's making you anxious where you don't know what's coming around the corner?
01:50:29.000If you feel anxious, and it's not because you're overworked, it's not because you're overburdened, and a lot of people feel that way right now with coronavirus, COVID-19 in their home, right?
01:50:37.000Their home and they don't have anything that they can do.
01:50:50.000Sometimes if you're in the trenches, if you're in the heat of it, you don't have time to think about how anxious you are because you're making sure that you're not making the next mistake.
01:51:18.000Find something that is worth your time, worth putting your energy into, worth being your outlet for your anxiety, to accomplish something that will help others and serve others in the world.
01:51:32.000Because you've got a lot of alone time.
01:51:34.000I don't want to see you playing Great Escape.
01:51:36.000Steve McQueen throwing that ball against the wall in solitary.
01:51:39.000I want you to take this time, rather than look back upon it as a waste of time and go, oh, that's why I replaced anxiety with purposefulness.
