00:43:57.000Our main story tonight is about the Senate race in Alabama.
00:44:02.000This is like the only thing that's happened.
00:44:05.000That's it for like the past three days the president is attacking Jeff Sessions on Twitter.
00:44:14.000And as you may know, The Alabama Senate seat is up for grabs in 2020.
00:44:19.000So there's currently a primary race between Jeff Sessions, who held the Senate seat in 2016, but then stepped down to become the president's attorney general, and Tommy Tuberville, who is a football coach.
00:44:35.000And the president weighed in this weekend endorsing Tommy Tuberville and attacking Jeff Sessions.
00:44:42.000And this was a big deal because this is a very important race in the Senate.
00:44:47.000Alabama is, at least this Senate seat, is held by a Democrat.
00:44:52.000We remember the special election in 2018, December 2017, between Doug Jones and Roy Moore.
00:45:05.000And that was the big sex scandal where Roy Moore was accused of being a pedophile and everything.
00:45:11.000And it ended up going to Doug Jones, who is a Democrat, which is historic.
00:45:15.000Alabama, as you know, is a very Republican state.
00:45:19.000You know, one of their Senate seats now is controlled by a Democrat.
00:45:22.000So, this is one of the Senate seats in 2020, one of the few which Republicans can easily flip from Democrat to Republican.
00:46:30.000We'll also be talking tonight about the coronavirus again.
00:46:35.000And there have been some new reports that I've been seeing lately talking about a huge spike in suicides because of the lockdown.
00:46:45.000And we talked, I think, last Thursday about all the unintended health consequences from the lockdown.
00:46:53.000Not from the coronavirus, but from the lockdown.
00:46:56.000There was a letter signed by 500 doctors, I think it was.
00:47:01.000On Thursday, demanding that Trump end the shutdown.
00:47:04.000And the doctors said that because all the hospitals were cleared out because they needed to make way for this giant surge of coronavirus patients that never came, now people are missing checkups.
00:47:17.000People have cancer and it's going undiagnosed.
00:47:20.000People with chronic health conditions are not getting the regular care or monitoring that they need.
00:47:27.000So it's causing all kinds of unintended consequences for like every other health risk factor.
00:47:32.000And now, on top of that, There are new studies and new reports that say that because of the lockdown, deaths of despair are going to go up by 75,000 this year.
00:47:45.000They say that deaths of despair could go as high as 150,000 this year, could be as low as 25,000, but they're projecting that it'll probably be somewhere in the middle of 75,000 additional deaths of despair, which is suicide, drug abuse, alcoholism, things like that.
00:48:04.000People being driven to death essentially by despair.
00:48:07.000Killing themselves in a variety of ways.
00:52:06.000Anyway, but we're going to have a good show.
00:52:09.000As you can see, I'm a little bit, I'm getting there.
00:52:12.000And also, before we dive into the news, I want to tell you that partially why I'm doing a show tonight is because I will not be here on Friday, and I will also not be here all of next week.
00:52:25.000So, today through Thursday, that's all the shows this week.
00:52:30.000I'll be here this week, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.
00:53:40.000It'll be something just kind of interesting going on.
00:53:43.000But when I come back, I'm going to be tan, I'm going to have a haircut, I'm going to be shaved, and everyone who's been criticizing my look is going to feel like a real idiot.
00:53:52.000They're going to be killing themselves.
00:53:54.000All these people online saying, Nick looks like shit, he really let himself go.
00:54:55.000So, if you want to see, I did a six hour gaming stream on Saturday, which is not available anywhere else.
00:55:01.000I did upload it this morning to the website.
00:55:04.000So, just in case anybody was wondering if you caught that gaming stream, if you didn't, it's up on the website now, as are all of last week's shows.
00:57:08.000And then in January, Vaush made a video about it and made up all these lies and said, oh, this guy, the Australian streamer, is gay and he's a sex worker.
00:58:23.000Normally, I don't love when stuff like that happens because that's got to be humiliating.
00:58:28.000But this guy made up all these disgusting, gross lies about me, which has produced all this gross content.
00:58:36.000People make, like, I remember, what is it?
00:58:40.000Murdoch Murdoch made a video about me and Catboy Cammie, and they literally had to make gay porn.
00:58:47.000They literally had to, they were making a parody about me and doing that stream.
00:58:53.000In order to ridicule me, they're like, oh, we're going to spend hours creating a video that is like gay porn, and that will make fun of Nick.
00:59:03.000You know, so it's like, I don't know where I was on with that, but it's like people had to create things that were gross to make me look bad.
00:59:13.000If you took the stream, it was like completely inoffensive, nothing controversial.
00:59:17.000If you even watch the stream, I was like telling the guy, don't be a degenerate, become Catholic, become Christian, blah, blah, blah.
00:59:23.000But with this guy, It's like he's caught on the camera, you know?
00:59:27.000Like all that came out of my controversy, which he lied about, was like a picture where I'm looking at Cammie, like, oh, really?
00:59:34.000And then you see this picture of this guy spilling out, and he's just gross, and his girlfriend's gross.
00:59:41.000And that is just like, to me, the perfect, it comes full circle, and it lays it all on display.
00:59:48.000That's who you are, and you're nothing.
01:02:58.000I wanted to talk about this new meme, and I'm expanding on a thread I did on Twitter today.
01:03:05.000This is the last thing, and then we'll move on.
01:03:07.000I know I've been sort of just talking for a while, but this is important stuff.
01:03:12.000Before we get into the news about Corona and the, what is the other story?
01:03:18.000About Jeff Sessions, I wanted to talk about the Karen meme.
01:03:22.000Because I did a little Twitter thread about it like an hour and a half ago, talking about it, and the responses were very predictable from the usual suspects, MAGA boomers, Reddit types, anime avis.
01:03:37.000You know, your very classic sample of the lowest common denominator comes in the replies.
01:03:59.000People have been calling out Karens, which are women that are, what, doting women that are, in particular, women that are trying to enforce the coronavirus rules.
01:04:11.000You see this a lot on TikTok or on Twitter.
01:04:14.000Women that are very overly zealous about making sure everybody's wearing their masks or social distancing or whatever.
01:04:20.000And so Karen is like this catch all trope, like a caricature.
01:04:25.000Of the overbearing white woman who, you know, is a busybody, wants everybody to play by the rules.
01:04:32.000And I've seen this meme all over the place.
01:04:34.000It's all over Twitter, it's all over TikTok.
01:04:36.000People saying, don't be a Karen, you know, big Karen energy or whatever.
01:05:01.000And it's another thing to say, okay, Karen, or it's a very, number one, it's anti white.
01:05:06.000Number two, it's got this Reddit energy.
01:05:09.000The way that I like to think about it is this one way that the Karen meme could be applied is if people are overly concerned, for example, about degeneracy in media.
01:05:21.000Like to me, this is the epitome of why it's cringe because it's hard to articulate, but maybe this example will illustrate it.
01:05:27.000I can totally imagine Redditors or liberals.
01:05:31.000Looking at a group like the Million Moms, or what is that organization?
01:05:37.000It's all the moms that go after Disney whenever they put degenerate stuff in their movies.
01:05:44.000It's not Moms Demand Action, that's gun control.
01:05:48.000I can totally imagine a conservative woman saying, I don't want to see drug use on Disney Channel, I don't want to see homosexuality on Disney Channel.
01:05:58.000And I could totally see a Redditor or a liberal saying, Oh, okay, Karen.
01:06:02.000And that's to me part of the problem because now, while I agree in theory with the substance of the meme, which is going after women that are wagging their fingers and getting in your face, the problem is that this has now expanded and become a catch all to any woman or really any person that wants to maintain standards for the society.
01:06:27.000In other words, anybody that cares about orderliness or rules or just having a functioning society is now a Karen.
01:06:46.000We need an authority to come down from above and crack down on the decay, the dysfunction, the laziness, the carelessness, people that are inconsiderate or rude or obnoxious.
01:07:04.000And I'm not talking about Karens that are, you know, like screaming in teenagers' face because they're like skateboarding at the park.
01:07:12.000I'm talking about across the board what we're seeing is total apathy.
01:07:18.000People that are inconsiderate, people that.
01:07:20.000If they're working service jobs, don't care about their jobs, they're not putting in their 100%, they don't care about what they're doing, and this is lowering the overall quality of life.
01:07:32.000You see this everywhere, by the way, in ways that maybe you don't even realize.
01:07:36.000For example, when you go to Walmart, you go to one of these big box stores, and it's dirty, or it's disorganized.
01:07:47.000You ask somebody for help, and the people are not helpful, or you go to a fast food restaurant.
01:07:52.000Like McDonald's or KFC or Wendy's, and they get your order wrong.
01:07:57.000You know, they give you something that's totally wrong, or the order's messed up, or they charge you too much, or they don't speak English.
01:08:05.000And you see this, those are a couple of examples of the kind of decay that we see across the country.
01:08:11.000And is there something wrong with people that go out and say, hey, wait a second, we live in the United States of America.
01:08:34.000And I can see that this mentality is rapidly becoming a mentality, or rather, this meme is floating into like a pejorative that's used by hedonists, nihilists, people that just want to see destruction or okay with it.
01:08:52.000You know, I can imagine people that go to the grocery store and licking ice cream.
01:09:00.000I don't want to imagine like opening up a two liter bottle of pop or a carton of ice cream and thinking, well, what if some black guy was drinking out of this or licking the ice cream?
01:09:32.000I see a lot of even our guys using the Karen meme, and I have to throw up a red flag and say, don't use that meme.
01:09:37.000It's cringe, very Reddit, very Reddit energy.
01:09:41.000And really, we have to interrogate a lot of these memes.
01:09:44.000I know some people might say you're over intellectualizing it or you're making it more complicated.
01:09:50.000And truly, to enjoy memes does involve sort of turning your brain off because memes are supposed to be a shortcut.
01:09:57.000It's supposed to explain or reduce complex ideas to simple, understandable, visual.
01:10:04.000Messages, but when memes become widespread, and in particular with me, when I have a gut intuition that the meme is cringe or bad energy, we have to kind of interrogate what the subtext is.
01:11:37.000You would never call that person an awful.
01:11:39.000If that vignette, if that scene went down in.
01:11:43.000Like rural Ohio, you would never call that woman an awful.
01:11:48.000You know, if some totally, it's like, do you ever see that video during the Democratic primary when there was a woman, she was in Iowa, she was registering to vote in the caucus, and she said, Well, I'm casting my vote for Pete Buttigieg.
01:12:03.000And this younger volunteer said, Oh, you know, like it's going to be great when his husband is there and blah, blah, blah.
01:12:10.000And this older woman who's casting her vote said, Wait, Pete Buttigieg has a husband?
01:12:15.000And the younger woman's like, Yeah, like this is common knowledge.
01:12:28.000It doesn't say anything about that in the Bible.
01:12:30.000And like that energy would be called Karen and therefore bad by this meme, which it's not specific enough.
01:12:38.000The subtext is clearly in the wrong place.
01:12:41.000That's why, you know, and I'm not in love with the awful meme either, but that I think is a really good analogy to show why one meme.
01:12:49.000Carries a very based subtext that carries our, it's directionally accurate carrying forward our message.
01:12:56.000And the other one is very counterproductive.
01:12:59.000You know, because that Karen meme is applied to Puritans.
01:13:02.000That Karen meme is applied to the heartland, middle America, white, salt of the earth women who just want a country that resembles the country they grew up in.
01:13:30.000So, anyway, I think you get the point.
01:13:33.000I just wanted to address that because I see it all over the place.
01:13:35.000And I've got something to say about it.
01:13:37.000A lot of people are using it, a lot of people counter signaling me on the timeline.
01:13:42.000You know, I posted, I didn't explain it in great detail, but I posted that take on Twitter that the Karen meme is anti functioning, cohesive, orderly society.
01:14:22.000And when we're using memes, which are powerful, In rhetoric, we have to know what we're saying, and we have to make sure that what we're saying with these memes is directionally accurate.
01:14:33.000We have to make sure that it is moving the ball forward for us because it's very easy to go astray with that stuff.
01:14:38.000Either it's not funny or it's not directionally sound in terms of the political content.
01:14:43.000So I know that sounds like it's maybe more complex than it is, but I'm telling you, that stuff is very important.
01:14:51.000You know, Mike Cernovich using the Karen meme, that's about the biggest red flag that you can get.
01:14:55.000You know, Mike Cernovich saying, hey, oh, you're a real Karen.
01:14:59.000And it's like, well, what's his endgame?
01:16:01.000This is from ABC talking about these coronavirus suicide deaths.
01:16:06.000It says, After two months of devastating lockdown, doctors at one California clinic say they've seen more suicides than coronavirus deaths.
01:16:22.000According to Dr. Mike Du Bois Blanc, the lead trauma surgeon at the John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek, California, he said, We've seen a year's worth of suicide attempts in the last four weeks, confirming the center had seen more deaths from suicide over the two month lockdown period than deaths from the coronavirus.
01:16:45.000Not only are the numbers of attempts unprecedented, But so is their seriousness, according to a trauma nurse at the clinic.
01:16:52.000Nurse Casey Hansen said, I have never seen so much intentional injury.
01:16:58.000Adding that the deaths are mostly young adults who are clearly not making cry for help suicidal gestures, she says, they intend to die.
01:17:07.000This shouldn't be news for the public health officials who crafted the lockdown policy.
01:17:11.000The warning signs were there from the very beginning.
01:17:14.000Suicide hotlines were already being flooded with calls just two weeks into the shutdown.
01:17:20.000In one 48 hour span in March, Knox County, Tennessee, saw nine suicides, more than the entire number of virus deaths in the entire state at that point.
01:17:31.000Portland, Oregon police said suicide threats and attempts had jumped 41% from the previous year, while one national suicide hotline reported a 300% increase in calls, again in just the first two weeks of lockdown.
01:17:46.000Trump himself warned back in March that the lockdown would cause suicide by the thousands.
01:17:52.000Only to be criticized by his own CDC and mocked by the media.
01:17:57.000And even the World Economic Forum was sounding the alarm back in early April about a coming mental health epidemic, deeming the massive global lockdowns the world's biggest psychological experiment.
01:18:11.000It says coronavirus has directly claimed tens of thousands of U.S. lives, but conditions stemming from the novel coronavirus could lead to 75,000 deaths from drug or alcohol abuse and suicide, according to new research.
01:18:26.000Deaths from these causes are known as deaths of despair, and the coronavirus pandemic may be accelerating conditions that lead to such deaths.
01:18:34.000According to Benjamin Miller, the author of this study, he says deaths of despair are tied to multiple factors like unemployment, fear and dread, and isolation.
01:18:44.000Prior to the coronavirus pandemic, there were already an unprecedented number of deaths of despair.
01:18:50.000We wanted to estimate how this pandemic would change that number moving forward.
01:18:54.000So we're seeing from all kinds of different states, all kinds of different figures, it's all pointing in the same direction, whether you're looking at the Hotline calls, suicide hotline calls, whether you're looking at the actual suicide numbers or suicide attempts, or you're looking at the studies, the academic stuff, I think the evidence is pretty clear when you look at the lockdown that not only is it causing what we talked about last week,
01:19:23.000which is a health crisis in terms of people not getting their checkups, people are not getting the treatment that they need for other risk factors or other chronic conditions like heart disease or cancer.
01:19:39.000But now, on top of that, you've also got a mental health epidemic, which is, to me, pretty obvious.
01:19:45.000From the beginning, when you're looking at all this social distancing, you're looking at people self isolating in their homes.
01:19:52.000They can't go to work, they can't go to school.
01:19:54.000Six feet apart from their friends, even at social functions, social functions limited to less than 10 people.
01:20:01.000It's really a no brainer that this would be the inevitable outcome.
01:20:04.000I don't even think, really, you need to see the data.
01:20:07.000I don't think you really even need to see a study that says this.
01:20:11.000This is what Trump said from the beginning, and I think this is pretty obvious to forecast once you anticipate and think about all the consequences of a total lockdown.
01:20:22.000And just like it says in the article, all the media, all of the experts, the doctors, they said at the time that it would be ridiculous to suggest that the lockdown would kill people.
01:20:34.000Back when the lockdown started, I think maybe a couple of weeks into it, the president started to say that the cure could be worse than the virus.
01:20:44.000He said that we have to work to make sure that the cure is not worse than the virus.
01:20:48.000We have to make sure that, in other words, these lockdown measures, the prescription to combat the coronavirus by clearing out the hospitals, shutting down businesses, shutting down the whole country, we have to make sure that that doesn't do more harm than however many people die from the virus.
01:21:05.000And he said, and I think a lot of people understand where he was coming from, maybe from an economic standpoint or a variety of other ways.
01:21:16.000Actually, in terms of public health, in terms of death, you would see people literally killing themselves because they're unemployed or killing themselves because they're lonely.
01:21:24.000And people laughed at that for a long time.
01:21:26.000And the media, like I said, the doctors, everybody else.
01:21:29.000But it's not hard to imagine what happens when you have the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression 30 million people unemployed.
01:21:39.000You've got people that can't make ends meet, people that are already living paycheck to paycheck, then they get laid off.
01:21:48.000And in some cases, it's harder to get the essentials or what you need than before because of shortages, because you can't go to maybe a certain store or whatever.
01:21:58.000It's not hard to imagine that, of course, you're going to see a commensurate increase in things like depression, substance abuse, people that are self medicating because of social factors or economic stressors, and then ultimately that leads in death.
01:22:14.000Like, this is not complicated, and it also is not.
01:22:21.000I don't think it is fantastical to say that, but now here we are three months later and we have the data.
01:22:27.000Like I said, we've got the data from the hotlines.
01:22:30.000We've got the data from the suicide numbers.
01:22:32.000We've got studies that say, and it points to the same conclusion, which is that this cure is actually killing the country.
01:22:40.000And, you know, I've been saying this for a little while now.
01:22:42.000I've been saying this for the past couple of weeks.
01:22:45.000I used to be all the way on one side when it came to the coronavirus as an alarmist, saying we need to shut down everything, shut down our borders.
01:22:54.000I've been saying that forever, but, you know, we need to shut down our borders.
01:22:58.000Travel to Europe, tourism from Europe to Europe, shut down travel to China, shut down all immigration and really just all transit, not even immigration, but all like transportation coming in and out of the country.
01:23:11.000Shut down schools, businesses, public spaces, common areas until we figure out what's going on.
01:23:19.000I was one of the biggest alarmists, you remember, going back to March.
01:23:24.000And in some ways, I still do believe the coronavirus will be bad.
01:23:28.000But gradually, I have moved from that position from From all the way over there, by any means necessary, stop the spread, flatten the curve, whatever, to someplace in the middle, saying, well, obviously there's a middle ground between shutting down all of the country indefinitely and having a totally open society in the middle of the pandemic.
01:23:51.000I said, well, there's probably a middle ground between total apocalyptic shutdown and also, well, if a million people are going to die, then so be it because of the Constitution.
01:24:01.000And now I'm all the way on the other side.
01:24:04.000And I'm saying we've been in lockdown now for three months.
01:24:07.000Everything that they've told us is a lie.
01:24:11.000Every day we find out another lie concerning another area about the pandemic, right?
01:24:18.000It's not that it's just lies about the virus itself or the economic effects, but it's about every aspect of the virus.
01:24:27.000This to me is almost qualifies as an additional and unique lie in itself because they told us in March and they told us in April part of the lie.
01:24:38.000Was that the lockdown would be temporary?
01:24:51.000So they advised to shut down schools, businesses, all that for 15 days.
01:24:57.000And they said that there would be no way that that could be worse than the coronavirus because two weeks of staying inside, this is an extended spring vacation.
01:25:06.000Then it was another two weeks, and then it was another month, and then it's another three months.
01:25:11.000And then you're starting to see that, you know, gee, people really don't have a support system in place financially, socially, or otherwise to abruptly put their lives on hold and go to their basements for three months.
01:25:28.000And so there are going to be real world implications.
01:25:30.000People didn't know it would be this long, people didn't know it would be this bad.
01:25:36.000And now people are going to start killing themselves.
01:25:38.000We were lied to about all of that about the duration, about the consequences, about the cure being worse than the disease.
01:25:45.000And just about every metric, like I said, in every area, it's been proven to be a lie.
01:25:51.000The projections about the number of infected, asymptomatic carriers, the hospital overload that we were led to believe was imminent in March.
01:26:02.000We have to shut down, lest the healthcare system collapse.
01:26:06.000The healthcare system is about to collapse, but because there are no patients in the hospitals, they sent everyone home for a surge that never came.
01:26:14.000So, yeah, the healthcare system's on the brink of collapse, but not because.
01:26:19.000You know, hospitals are just up to the rafters with coronavirus patients, but because they sent everyone home and now they're going bankrupt.
01:26:26.000So, you know, and it's every day we're finding out something new, some new horrible reality, some new horrible unforeseen consequence, which is the result of a lie.
01:26:38.000And the unforeseen consequence, the crisis, the tragedy, does not originate from the virus itself, but from the shutdown.
01:26:47.000And that's, again, it's not to minimize the suffering.
01:26:51.000Of people that have died or lost loved ones from the coronavirus.
01:26:54.000It's not to say that 100,000 people is not catastrophic and tragic, but it is to say that there is an element of inevitability about the pandemic.
01:27:09.000You can't hide from it, you can't wait it out.
01:27:12.000There's no guarantee that we'll ever be able to develop immunity to this from a vaccine or from a treatment.
01:27:18.000I mean, this is really uncharted waters here.
01:27:22.000Historically, you are not able to easily, quickly, or reliably vaccinate against a highly contagious virus.
01:27:29.000Historically, this just doesn't happen.
01:27:32.000So, the idea that that was ever going to be a good plan to rely on that we're going to shut down the country in the hopes that, well, we're just going to evade the virus or something this was a rejection of reality.
01:27:47.000It's tragic, it's sad, but the virus is here.
01:27:50.000And maybe that was a shocking and abrupt thing to realize back in March.
01:27:54.000But gradually over time, I think we've realized this is here, it's here to stay.
01:28:01.000And so, what path are we going to take at the fork in the road?
01:28:04.000Are we going to have, for example, for the sake of example, 100,000 coronavirus dead, plus 150,000 dead from despair, plus 150,000 dead from undiagnosed or people that were not treated for heart disease or cancer, Destroying the economy, plus, et cetera, et cetera.
01:28:28.000Or are we going to be adults, recognize the reality, make a tough choice, and say, well, the coronavirus is here, and maybe 100,000 people die for the sake of example, but we're going to live our lives.
01:28:42.000We're still going to get screened for other diseases.
01:28:44.000We're still going to have a life that is complete and fulfilling and not lead people to suicide.
01:28:57.000And I feel like that was the question from the beginning, or at least very early on in the shutdown.
01:29:03.000Because initially, you would be forgiven for saying, stop the spread, flatten the curve, shut down the country for two weeks and see what happens.
01:29:13.000Because we didn't know a lot about the virus.
01:29:15.000The outbreak had just started in the United States, it was really bad in New York City.
01:29:19.000Nobody knew who was dying from just respiratory infections or coronavirus.
01:29:27.000Faced with all these unknowns, you took drastic action to shut everything down.
01:29:33.000But two weeks in, four weeks in, six weeks in, after we get millions of tests done, we get the antibody test, we have all this information about asymptomatic carriers, we see what the curve looks like in China, there's no excuse at this point.
01:29:49.000And now we've seen the goalpost shift in light and in spite of all that information from flatten the curve to wait inside until it's all over.
01:29:57.000And anybody who's been paying attention, I think, has gone through a similar trajectory here, where initially, you know, depending on which side of the spectrum you fall on, over the course of getting new information, seeing what's happening, seeing the consequences, you're saying, what's the deal?
01:30:13.000Why is public policy not responsive to the unforeseen consequences that it has created?
01:30:19.000And it's very ironic, maybe not ironic, actually totally expected, that the government moved swiftly to shut everything down.
01:30:28.000Think of how swiftly the government moved to shut everything down totally and completely and just being completely safe, not taking any chances.
01:30:37.000And that's going to go on until August and we're going to open in three phases and gating.
01:30:42.000And how much relief did we get, right?
01:30:44.000How quick and how thorough were they in shutting down your employer or shutting down your business or making sure that your tenants won't pay rent?
01:30:55.000How quick were they to do all that and thorough versus how quick and thorough were they to give you relief, financially or otherwise?
01:31:05.000$1,200 check, one $1,200 check, and then they cut off the spigot, right?
01:31:11.000$3 trillion in aid, $250 billion worth goes towards cash payments to Americans.
01:31:19.000So, when it comes to shutting things down, well, we're on top of things.
01:31:24.000Everybody's got to be shut down in every way possible, top to bottom.
01:31:28.000And if you don't, you're arrested, you're thrown in jail, you're fined, you're shamed, you're ostracized.
01:31:34.000But for all those people that are now out of a job, can't feed themselves, their business is closing down, they're foreclosing on a property, right?
01:31:43.000Or they're totally bankrupt, underwater in debt.
01:31:47.000What is the government's response to them?
01:31:49.000This government that's so on top of it, not taking any chances?
01:32:36.000So you see enough numbers like this, or the numbers we saw last week with that letter signed by 500 doctors talking about all these other diseases.
01:32:46.000You look at the unemployment numbers, and I saw something in the Wall Street Journal.
01:32:50.000At least 12% of the unemployment, 12% of those jobless claims are for jobs that are never coming back.
01:32:57.000Like it's just the evidence keeps mounting and mounting, and they keep moving the goalposts further and further and moving the opening date further and further away.
01:33:06.000And you're thinking, like, what's going on here?
01:33:08.000That's when I start to get conspiratorial.
01:33:12.000Who really stands to gain from all this?
01:33:14.000What's really the end game by our public health officials and bureaucrats and so on?
01:33:20.000I didn't think that initially because it didn't surprise me at all that a pandemic would happen or could happen because, and I've explained this before.
01:33:29.000Because of how interconnected the world is and how bad hygiene and sanitation standards are in other countries.
01:33:37.000So it's safe to say that a pandemic can and maybe is likely to happen without the New World Order manufacturing it.
01:33:43.000But you see this huge dissonance between what they're saying, the facts, the prescriptions, the policies, the results, and what's actually happening in reality.
01:33:55.000And you start to wonder what's going on here?
01:34:18.000So, you know, maybe it's not so much for me.
01:34:21.000I guess I socialize a lot, maybe more than I think because I do a lot of socializing online.
01:34:25.000What I mean to say is people need to socialize.
01:34:28.000You could probably hack it for a few months if it's extraordinary circumstances, but it's tough.
01:34:34.000People do get lonely, and especially when people's routines are disrupted, they're little communities.
01:34:40.000Whatever meaning we're able to eke out in this miserable hellscape that is the world today, these communities that we find with our colleagues at work, people we know at work or people that you know from school, neighbors, because we don't live very meaningful or connected lives.
01:34:59.000We don't really have strong and really valuable communities these days.
01:35:04.000So, in as much relief we get from the small and sorry excuses for communities that we have, to have that ripped away abruptly.
01:35:59.000It sounds like such a stupid name, but that is his name, Tuberville.
01:36:04.000This is the Alabama Republican Senate primary.
01:36:10.000And the big story from this weekend is that the president has finally weighed into this race with an endorsement.
01:36:16.000You've got Jeff Sessions versus Tommy Tuberville.
01:36:19.000And the backdrop, of course, is that Jeff Sessions was the senator, one of the senators, obviously, from Alabama in 2016 when Donald Trump gets elected president.
01:36:31.000Jeff Sessions steps down from his seat in the Senate because he is tapped to become the attorney general for the president.
01:36:38.000So he steps down from the Senate, gives up his seat, becomes the attorney general.
01:36:43.000And then, of course, there is the Russia investigation.
01:36:46.000Jeff Sessions recuses himself from the Russia investigation, he's fired by the president for this.
01:36:53.000And in the meantime, because Sessions has vacated his seat, now there's a special election between Doug Jones and Roy Moore.
01:37:00.000Democrat Doug Jones, Republican Roy Moore.
01:38:00.000So Trump's endorsement carries a lot of weight in the state, particularly in the primary.
01:38:05.000Whoever goes on to be the Republican nominee has a very good chance of beating Doug Jones and becoming a pretty critical senator, pretty critical race in 2020.
01:38:16.000Alabama is going to be and should be one of the easiest pickups by Republicans, the easiest flip from Democrat to Republican because it was a fluke that it was Democratic in the first place.
01:38:26.000So it's a very critical, important race.
01:38:30.000And the choice honestly couldn't be more easy.
01:38:33.000You've got Jeff Sessions, who is totally America first, one of the best.
01:38:38.000Immigration patriots in the GOP today.
01:38:41.000He's in favor of an immigration moratorium.
01:38:44.000He is the one that shut down DACA in the Trump White House.
01:38:48.000He is the one who manufactured a lot of the anti immigration policy in the Trump White House.
01:38:54.000He was one of the first senator to endorse Donald Trump in 2016.
01:39:00.000So this guy is about as MAGA, America First, immigration restrictionist as you can get in the GOP.
01:39:07.000Totally based, totally conservative, solid on virtually every issue.
01:39:13.000Tuberville, on the other hand, has a lot of problems, which we'll get into.
01:39:17.000But first, I want to talk about the spat here on Twitter.
01:39:21.000President Trump weighing in on the race, why he made the wrong choice.
01:39:27.000It says, quote, Former Attorney General Jeff Sessions and President Trump spent a portion of the Memorial Day weekend attacking each other on Twitter.
01:39:35.000Mr. Trump has thrown his support behind Sessions' Senate rival Tommy Tuberville in Alabama's upcoming election.
01:39:43.000On Friday night, Mr. Trump scolded his former ally for accusing himself from the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
01:39:54.000He said, quote, Three years ago after Jeff Sessions recused himself, the fraudulent Mueller scam began.
01:40:37.000On Saturday morning, Sessions again tweeted to Mr. Trump, saying, Alabama can and does trust me, as do conservatives across the country.
01:40:46.000Mr. Trump responded Saturday evening, accusing Sessions of having no courage for accusing himself and urging him to drop out of the race.
01:40:55.000Sessions responded to Mr. Trump late Saturday night, writing that he will never apologize for following the law and serving faithfully and with honor.
01:41:03.000Sessions also wrote that he recommended firing former FBI Director James Comey from the beginning.
01:41:09.000He then called Tuberville weak, alleging that Tuberville didn't want to debate him.
01:41:14.000You and I fight for the same agenda, he wrote.
01:41:17.000Alabama will not take orders from Washington on who to send to the Senate.
01:41:21.000So, you know, I guess a lot of this petty stuff is kind of just silly.
01:41:25.000You know, well, you're not going to tell us who we're going to vote for.
01:41:50.000Sort of considering is why Trump doesn't like Jeff Sessions.
01:41:54.000To kind of go back even a little bit further, if people are confused about this, back in 2017, when this probe began, there was an FBI probe into whether or not Russia interfered in the 2016 election.
01:42:10.000The FBI interviewed Jeff Sessions, who was the attorney general at the time.
01:42:16.000I don't know if he was attorney general officially yet or if he had just been nominated, but they interviewed Jeff Sessions and they said, Did you have any contact with the Russians?
01:42:24.000Jeff Sessions said, No, I never met with any Russians.
01:42:28.000Later, then he admitted that he did have a meeting with a Russian ambassador named Sergei Kizilyak back in fall.
01:42:36.000I think at that point it would have been fall 2015, which was proper because Jeff Sessions was the head of the Foreign Intelligence Committee and talking to a Russian ambassador.
01:42:48.000This is pretty standard stuff, but he didn't mention it in the interview.
01:42:52.000And when this Russian probe really began, he recused himself from handling the investigation as the attorney general, which was legally required.
01:43:01.000And this is the source of why Trump doesn't like him.
01:43:03.000Jeff Sessions recused himself from handling the Russia probe as attorney general because he said, I am close to the president.
01:43:29.000And he believes that it was Jeff Sessions recusing himself from handling the investigation.
01:43:34.000They got Rod Rosenstein as his replacement.
01:43:38.000Rod Rosenstein appoints the special counsel, appoints the Mueller counsel, and that creates the Mueller investigation.
01:43:45.000And that leads to all these woes with the Russia hoax and the endless subpoenas and investigations and everything that went on in the past couple of years.
01:43:55.000So Trump says Jeff Sessions wrongly recuses himself because he's a coward, and then I get investigated by Mueller and Rod Rosenstein.
01:44:11.000Jeff Sessions was legally required to recuse himself.
01:44:15.000The law says that if you are involved in a campaign, if you're involved with the people being investigated, you have to recuse yourself.
01:44:25.000It doesn't make sense on its face that the attorney general handling an investigation into the 2016 election, specifically Russians helping or interfering with the Trump campaign, could be handled by somebody.
01:44:40.000Who gave speeches for that campaign and was close personal friends with the candidate from that campaign and endorsed the candidate from that campaign?
01:44:57.000Maybe he could have done something else, but that's what the law says.
01:45:01.000And when you think about what Donald Trump has said against him, there is so much scrutiny from the media, from the Judiciary Committee, from the Judiciary itself, from Democrats.
01:45:12.000He cannot afford these kinds of improprieties.
01:45:15.000I've heard a lot of people say in the past, Trump should just disobey the courts.
01:45:20.000You know, if a federal judge, for example, puts up an injunction on an executive order, Trump should just defy the courts.
01:45:29.000The Democrats and the Republicans would collude to impeach the president for this.
01:45:34.000The Trump administration cannot sustain any appearance, you know, let alone actual, but even the appearance of legal malfeasance or anything like that, because you know.
01:45:46.000That the minute that that happens, all the forces in DC will collude to take him out.
01:45:52.000So, I think not only is it the law, but it's in everyone's best interest in the administration to follow the law, specifically when it's something blatant like that.
01:46:01.000Jeff Sessions had a conflict of interest.
01:46:07.000On to the second point, Trump says, well, Jeff Sessions recused himself, and this opened up the Trump administration to an investigation, specifically the special counsel, which was appointed specifically to investigate the Trump campaign.
01:46:24.000We found out over the course of the investigation that what triggered the appointment of the special counsel was not Jeff Sessions' recusal, it was Donald Trump firing James Comey.
01:46:37.000Because initially, it was an FBI probe into broadly Russian hacking into the 2016 election.
01:46:45.000It was only after, and this is what Rudy Giuliani said, and Rudy Giuliani was Trump's lawyer during the probe, during the special counsel.
01:46:54.000Rudy Giuliani, the documents, All the information says that what triggered the special counsel, why Rod Rosenstein appointed Robert Mueller, appointed the special counsel to investigate the Trump campaign, was Trump firing Comey.
01:47:10.000Trump went to Lester Holt, he went to the media, did a full media blitz when Comey was fired, and said, I fired James Comey because he was looking into Russia.
01:47:37.000It was Trump's mistake firing Comey the way that he did, which was improper, which was suspect.
01:47:44.000I mean, I think it was the right thing to do.
01:47:46.000I think Comey should have been kicked out, but it was the manner in which he did it, it was the timing, the reasoning.
01:47:52.000I mean, he just made a big mistake firing Comey the way that he did, and it was that that triggered the special counsel and opened him up to years of investigations.
01:48:01.000For Trump to come back years later and say, well, Jeff Sessions recused himself and that's what caused the investigation, wrong on both counts.
01:48:09.000He had to recuse himself, and even if he didn't, the recusal did not lead to the special counsel, did not lead to the appointment of Robert Mueller.
01:49:09.000An immigration restrictionist America First agenda in the Senate for the next six years.
01:49:15.000And if I'm looking at that, then the choice is Jeff Sessions, and that's all that matters.
01:49:19.000Let's say, for the sake of example, that both of the things that Trump is claiming about Sessions were true that Jeff Sessions didn't need to recuse himself and that he did led to the special counsel being appointed.
01:49:33.000Even if that were true, it wouldn't matter because Jeff Sessions is America First.
01:49:40.000And think about what the role of a legislator is writing the laws.
01:49:44.000And that's a simplification, but that's the main role of the legislators writing the laws, putting together immigration, for example, or trade.
01:49:54.000I mean, all these things that we really need Trump to hit a grand slam on in the next term.
01:49:59.000And so, if we're thinking about the role and what our interest is here and being practical, that is the value set that you need to bring to the table.
01:50:10.000And when you look at it from that lens, Jeff Sessions is the obvious choice.
01:50:13.000Like I said earlier, Jeff Sessions was, and I believe is, in favor of a total immigration moratorium.
01:50:19.000He's in favor of deporting everybody, in favor of a barrier on the southern border.
01:50:24.000He is the one that shut down DACA in Trump's first year.
01:50:28.000He is the one that began to draft the Birthright Citizenship Executive Order.
01:50:32.000He was talking about all this stuff, I believe, even before Trump.
01:50:37.000He was the first senator to endorse Trump.
01:50:39.000Tommy Tuberville, on the other hand, is nothing like this.
01:50:43.000Tommy Tuberville, who Trump endorsed and said he would carry forth the MAGA agenda, Tommy Tuberville.
01:50:50.000This is according to the latest reports, which are very recent.
01:50:53.000There are at least three people working for Tommy Tuberville on his campaign that are diametrically opposed to the America First agenda.
01:51:02.000His top aide, Tommy Tuberville's top aide, used to work for a Jeb Bush super PAC.
01:51:11.000One of his media people used to work for Facebook.
01:51:16.000And somebody else in his staff, in his general staff, worked for Barack Obama.
01:51:22.000And in 2014, drafted Barack Obama's amnesty bill.
01:51:26.000And I believe all three of them are never Trumpers.
01:51:28.000I think it's maybe two or all three of them.
01:51:31.000But you look at Tommy Tuberville's campaign, you look at his policies, and this is not hard.
01:51:37.000How do you get three people, some of your top people on your campaign, and they come from Facebook, they come from the Jeb Bush campaign, and the Obama White House?
01:51:47.000This is MAGA, this is America First, this is the conservative, this is the guy.
01:51:53.000And that's the only question that matters.
01:51:55.000You've got somebody that couldn't be more based.
01:51:57.000I think he's maybe, as far as Jeff Sessions goes, he's maybe the furthest right on immigration, on trade, on all the America First issues, all the Trumpian nationalist agenda or platform items.
01:52:12.000And you've got somebody who couldn't be worse just by looking at their staff.
01:52:16.000How do you fill up your staff with people that are, well, I mean, I think we know, but how do you look at somebody who has a staff which is filled up from the cadre of You know, New World Order elites, Facebook, Jeb Bush, and Barack Obama, does it get any worse than that?
01:52:43.000The guy, the first guy to endorse you, the guy that's the furthest right on immigration, or the guy that hires Facebook, Jeb Bush, and Barack Obama.
01:53:39.000Well, it's just like the Tommy Tuberville campaign.
01:53:42.000It's filled up with people from the Jeb Bush campaign, people from the Marco Rubio campaign, people from the RNC, people that are Mitt Romney conservatives, John McCain conservatives.
01:54:00.000Why do you think it is that the White House, in the first two years of this term, was looking at health care and tax reform and not immigration and infrastructure or immigration and trade or immigration and Ending the foreign wars.
01:54:15.000Why was it that those were the priorities of this White House for two years?
01:54:20.000Trying to get Obamacare repealed three times and failing, and then giving a giant corporate tax cut.
01:54:30.000But that was the agenda of all the people that work in the White House, that now work in the White House after they were hired by Ryan Priebus, who was the chief of staff, and who was it, Johnny Stefano or DeStefano, whatever the guy's name is, was put in charge of the PPO in the White House.
01:55:26.000And so he could be forgiven if he put personnel in the hands of Reince Priebus, the chairman of the RNC.
01:55:34.000And you could see that over the course of the next three years, the people hired by these rhinos and Republican establishment types would wreak havoc on the administration.
01:55:47.000After a month, two months, six months, a year, two years, three years, When do you realize, wait a second, I made a terrible mistake?
01:55:55.000Everybody I've hired is neither loyal to me nor loyal to my agenda.
01:56:02.000Maybe I should fire all these people and hire people that are actually loyal to me and what I want to accomplish.
01:56:09.000And I've heard this story a million times in Washington, D.C., a million times from my friends in D.C.
01:56:15.000And I have friends in like every department, and I have friends from the campaign, I mean, all over D.C.
01:56:24.000And I've heard the same story many times from each one of them, which is this a story about a Trump campaign staffer, somebody that worked on the campaign.
01:56:36.000It means that they weren't going for Rubio, they weren't going for Bush, they were going for Trump.
01:56:41.000People that worked for the campaign, they weren't trying to get GOP down ballot races won, they were trying to get Donald Trump in the White House.
01:56:50.000In other words, people on the campaign that are loyal to the president, that's what that means, repeatedly passed over in favor of.
01:56:59.000RNC insiders for White House positions.
01:57:53.000He won the election, and all the people that worked on his campaign just got laid off.
01:57:58.000And instead, people from the campaigns that hated him, that were never Trump, and they wrote a national review against Trump, and they tweeted, Trump is racist, and You know, they were on the call with Paul Ryan after the Pussygate tape saying, you know, we got to find a new nominee and all this.
01:58:16.000They were the ones that got put in the comps department and put in all the other offices.
01:58:24.000And point being, this is the latest example of that.
01:58:59.000The guy's like not even an American patriot.
01:59:04.000And this is the root of all that evil in the White House.
01:59:07.000And it's not to say that it's all his responsibility.
01:59:11.000Culpability in this is that he brought this in, he tolerates it, he lets it happen, and he's been letting it happen.
01:59:17.000He knows about it because he's mentioned it before, and he can't not know about it because everybody that I know, you know, I'm maybe like one or two degrees of separation from the president, and everybody that I know that's aware of it, that knows him, has told him about this.
01:59:34.000Tucker talks about it, it's talked about on Fox, it's talked about in the DC circles.
02:00:17.000You know, there's some kind of Talmudic curse that's been, you know, he channeled the Kabbalah and, you know, he said some kind of dead language, you know, this language of the higher dimensions and, you know, he's some kind of conjurer.
02:01:28.000You know, there's this strategy that we don't see, or maybe it's a little bit subtle.
02:01:33.000And I went down to DC, I think, summer 2018.
02:01:37.000I want to say, and I met with, this is the first time I met with some of the guys from the administration, not high level people, but just people around, and I said, Is it true that like four dimensional chess is happening?
02:03:31.000Because what's the alternative, Joe Biden?
02:03:34.000I recognize this sucks, but what's the alternative, you know?
02:03:38.000Are people going to say, well, I'm going to vote for Tommy Tuberville, or, you know, if Tuberville gets the nomination, well, I'm going to vote for the Democrat?
02:03:45.000No, like Doug Jones supports abortion, Doug Jones supports all this, he's anti Trump, whatever.
02:03:51.000So, it's not to say that he's not the best option, but it is to say that he could be doing a lot better.
02:03:57.000Okay, so that's Jeff Sessions, but we're going to move over.
02:07:45.000I know that seems like a small thing and it is, but if you didn't have people that have an expectation for standards and conduct, then things would rapidly deteriorate.
02:07:57.000People will digress, they will devolve to whatever they can get away with.
02:08:04.000And this is why, for example, you go to a rich suburb or you go to the rich shopping districts in the country, and that's why you get the best service and the best standards and cleanliness because.
02:08:18.000The customers in those neighborhoods give a shit.
02:08:22.000And if things aren't up to snuff, they will lose their business.
02:08:26.000If people's expectations are not met, they will be out of jobs.
02:08:31.000It is not this way in places that suck.
02:08:35.000Places that suck, suck because people let them, because people don't have expectations.
02:08:42.000They accept the squalor that they live in.
02:08:45.000You know, I was talking about this last year.
02:08:51.000Battle that broke out in Culiacan in Mexico.
02:08:54.000You may remember this, where they arrested El Chapo's son or something, and there was this giant drug war.
02:09:03.000I don't know, you know, the drug war, but there was a giant battle that broke out in the city where the drug cartels captured the, you know, they recaptured El Chapo's son, whoever it was, and they laid siege on the city.
02:09:18.000You had drug cartels with like ARs and RPGs in the city, cars on fire, highways obstructed.
02:11:23.000White people are going to harass you and say, pull up your pants, tuck in your shirt, and make the trains run on time or it's your ass.
02:11:32.000Like that's what's lacking in all these other countries.
02:11:35.000Maybe it's not happening in Italy, but you understand what I'm saying.
02:11:39.000That's not happening in these countries where people just mess around and they're lazy and they don't care.
02:11:45.000And they're not thinking of this, they don't have a social consciousness, they have no concept of the public good, they are low impulse control, they are self interested, they do not know how to live in a civilized society.
02:11:59.000And they're trying to pathologize that uniquely European trait.
02:12:05.000Maybe it's not uniquely European, Asians are this way, and there are some other societies this way, but it is, at least in this country, almost predominantly European.
02:12:14.000You know, you think about how it was, think about like a hardware store in the 1960s.
02:12:20.000You go in, and the guy knows you by name there, and he knows he can help you.
02:12:28.000You know, you think about even going into a gas station 50 years ago or a diner, and it's some old lady, and she's nice, and she has a smile on her face, cares what they're doing about it.
02:13:04.000They don't care if they do the job right or wrong.
02:13:08.000Sometimes they got their headphones in.
02:13:09.000I mean, you live in this country, you see what goes on across the land.
02:13:14.000And the idea that we would pathologize somebody that's going to bust your balls about that, I mean, this is why the country is the way it is.
02:13:22.000We need people that are going to force people to shape up.
02:13:27.000It's like that, this cart meme that's going around, the shopping cart meme.
02:13:34.000The idea that whether or not you put away your shopping cart in the grocery store parking lot shows whether or not you're a good member of society.
02:13:43.000It's something that's totally convenient, costs you nothing, takes no time, but is a big help.
02:13:49.000You take your cart, you put it where it needs to go.
02:13:52.000This is something that, I mean, you don't benefit from it.
02:13:54.000But it's not an inconvenience and it helps the next shopper and people that are trying to park.
02:14:35.000And that's the problem it's pathologizing a white trait as opposed to, you know, because white women are a problem, but it's not because they're white.
02:14:42.000It's because they're affluent and liberal and, you know, bad culture.
02:14:46.000And it's a complicated thing, but you understand.
02:15:34.000But on PJW and Cernovich, honestly, I like PJW.
02:15:41.000So I'm not going to say anything negative about him.
02:15:43.000But with Cernovich, what I think is very simple.
02:15:46.000I think Cernovich has sort of this maybe not an anxiety, but definitely an awareness that he's not really on the ball anymore in the sense that we are the generators of culture.
02:16:14.000But you think about, like, the feel when no GF.
02:16:18.000You think about Shooter, Negative XP, who makes a song, Scott Pilgrim versus the world, Ruined a Generation of Women, Eggie, the Black Pill, the Red Pill, Virgin and Chad.
02:16:29.000I mean, like, all this stuff comes from our side of Twitter, our side of the internet broadly.
02:17:07.000Like when Gooba came out by 6ix9ine, Mike Cernovich was tweeting, you know, I'm back, you're mad, big mad, he's mad, she's mad, big sad, whatever.
02:17:19.000And, like, you don't listen to 6ix9ine.
02:17:47.000I'm going to retweet people replying a 6ix9ine GIF to me tweeting the lyrics to the 6ix9ine song, and that will show people that I'm in on it.
02:19:14.000Well behaved, Will, since I recently went on a few dates with a Jewish girl, and every time she spoke, all I could think about were phrases such as oy vey and the goyim no.
02:19:23.000She keeps messaging me, but I've stopped replying.
02:19:26.000As Scooby Doo would say, rut row, raggy.
02:21:22.000Jason says, What are your thoughts on instituting a form of mandatory national service for those who do not pursue further education or employment?
02:21:31.000Not in favor of it because we're just giving Zog like an army.
02:21:36.000It would be one thing if America was epic again, like if America.
02:21:41.000100 years ago, I had something like that.
02:27:09.000Yamato says Even though this is overall a very complicated subject with many different thinkers involved, do you think the Enlightenment was overall a net positive or net negative for the Western world?
02:28:52.000And I think that approaches some of the promise of the Enlightenment.
02:28:58.000But you can obviously see the excesses.
02:29:00.000I know this is not like a radically new take, but you could see the excesses in the French Revolution, and you could see the fruits even of the measured, much more conservative, moderate founding fathers in our country 240 years later, just a short 240 years later.
02:29:16.000So, and it's tough to say because who knows where we'll go from here.
02:29:21.000I think there's a lot of big variables about technology, about progress, about knowledge.
02:29:27.000I mean, there's a lot in there that is a variable that cannot really be evaluated yet because we're really kind of just.
02:29:34.000I mean, we are still suffering the consequences of these liberal revolutions, Republican revolutions that have happened, the consequences of all these ideologies.
02:29:48.000It was a radical change that happened in the 18th century.
02:29:53.000But my nose is itching, so I'm uncomfortable, and so I'm irritable.
02:30:00.000Chicken on a Raft says Libertarians be like America doesn't need a solid moral foundation.
02:30:05.000Profit incentivizes rational decisions like making an OnlyFans account.
02:30:38.000But, you know, just be careful when you're using, like, my logo or my.
02:30:43.000You just got to make sure you're optical and not cringe or embarrassing.
02:30:48.000I'm not saying you are, but I'm just saying you just got to be careful because I've seen a lot of people have made America First accounts and then it's like they're posting cringe stuff.
02:32:35.000Butthole says, You ever used to go to the arcades?
02:32:38.000Was catching up over the weekend, and a Thani chat reminded me of that big ass Star Wars game with the huge screen that guided you through the movies.
02:32:47.000And it was like a whole dollar, and the big kids always hogged it and bullied you off when you finally got a turn.
02:33:26.000At Fun World, it was like a teacup ride, you know, same premise, rotating.
02:33:32.000And so, obviously, in like a teacup ride, you've got the center, you've got these spokes, like a wheel, and the seats, and then it spins around rapidly, and that is what is exciting.
02:33:47.000And they've got a gate around the ride so that, you know, you're protected.
02:33:51.000You don't walk into it while it's spinning around.
02:34:04.000I was inside the gate, walking towards the ride, and the ride activator activated the ride while I was inside the gate, but not in one of the carts.
02:34:16.000And some random guy grabbed me and pulled me back.
02:39:20.000People enforce social norms, they're just the wrong social norms.
02:39:23.000If you say the N word and somebody tries to go after you, you know, enforcing a social norm and they get caught on video, are they the villain of that story?
02:39:50.000This guy's calling me fat and you don't even know what you're talking about.
02:39:55.000Butthole says ignoring coronavirus, how is it that housing projects have been exploding forever but retailers still suck and are dying out?
02:40:04.000How are there not enough consumer based growth for IRL and online?
02:40:46.000When people ask me about, like, who's your favorite, like, biblical character, or, like, who's your favorite, I mean, what does that even, like, really mean?
02:40:55.000I mean, if I had to pick any favorite character in the whole story, it's Jesus.
02:41:02.000I mean, maybe I'm not, like, well read enough or thoughtful enough about these things, but I, you know, people are like, what's your favorite?
02:43:51.000There will be no place in the world where you can breathe clean air, drink clean water, and have no smells or pollutants, where you can go to the restaurant and eat safe.
02:44:04.000Good, affordable food where your neighbors will be kind and tolerant and considerate and neighborly, where strangers will be all of those things.
02:44:18.000I mean, it's like that is so heartbreaking.
02:44:23.000You think about how this country was 60 years ago, it wasn't perfect, obviously.
02:44:29.000And you still had violence and you still had crime and you still had problems.
02:45:38.000And, you know, unless and until people are willing to stand up and realize the gravity of these consequences, you know, we cannot reverse that.
02:45:47.000But people first have to realize how bad it's going to be.
02:45:51.000So that's why being called racist means something to people because they haven't begun to imagine a life like the rest of people live will be like for us.
02:48:37.000Delayed Patriots says, Gotta say, I hate seeing people on our side of things openly hating on not the wars, but on American troops, especially on today.
02:48:48.000Death not a good look and can push a lot of proud Americans away.
02:51:15.000I now understand it's an individual's responsibility to contribute to making the world a better, brighter, Place the shopping cart meme speaks to me.
02:53:26.000I understand on some level what you mean, but when you look at Amazon, and by the way, It's not just Amazon which is driving the retail apocalypse.
02:53:40.000People think it's just e-businesses, and that is driving a lot of it, but there's a lot of other mistakes that these big stores, these big chain stores, have made over the past few decades.
02:54:01.000And you could read about that, but that's only one factor that Amazon has grown.
02:54:07.000So, everybody thinks that, oh, it's just, you know, well, Amazon put everybody out of business.
02:54:15.000And certainly this is true for books when Amazon is like 50% of the market share, maybe even higher than that at this point with books, book sales.
02:54:24.000But with a lot of other stuff, you know, like Best Buy, Best Buy is thriving.
02:54:29.000Best Buy turned its ship around and they got good corporate management.
02:54:34.000They engineered like a pickup service and like.
02:54:40.000Customer service, and you know, they made their stores kind of like what Walmart is doing now at their curbside pickup.
02:54:48.000They turned Best Buy stores into these hubs where you could pick up goods, but also you could get services done.
02:54:54.000And they basically saw the value, they saw where the value is in having a brick and mortar store, and they just capitalized on that.
02:55:01.000Like, you can be a brick and mortar retail store in 2020 and do well and survive.
03:02:32.000Like, if you're, if you're, Going, your functioning theory, your functioning worldview, understanding of women is you have to be nice to them.
03:02:41.000Put them on a pedestal, give them flowers.
03:02:44.000If that's your idea, they're like beautiful angels.
03:04:52.000You know, with kings, you just gotta be, you know, when you're interested in women or trying to find a woman, you just can't have your life orbit women.
03:05:02.000Be interested in women, but don't be, you know, obsessed or clingy or, you know, whatever.
03:05:09.000Just be kind of indifferent to the outcome.
03:05:32.000If somebody has a gun to your head, that's a negotiation you're not willing to walk out from.
03:05:37.000Like, that's an example to illustrate that when somebody has all the leverage, like, they can take whatever they want from you.
03:05:44.000So you have to be willing to walk away.
03:05:46.000And the same applies to a relationship.
03:05:49.000If you are on a certain level, even just functionally indifferent to the outcome, well, I don't care if you don't like me, I don't care if you turn me down, I don't care if you dump me, then.
03:08:30.000He is like, it almost reminds me of being in grade school, like the one kid that would get a sugar rush.
03:08:37.000I never got a sugar rush when I was a kid.
03:08:40.000But we all know that guy that would like eat a lot of candy or eat, you know, it'd be like pizza day in fifth grade and he would be bouncing off the walls.
03:08:49.000Not even because of the physiological changes, but just the idea.
03:09:00.000He is like overdosing on pixie sticks.
03:09:04.000I imagine him like, you know, playing Call of Duty and just slonking pixie sticks and gummy bears and I'm hyper, you know, in a very like juvenile, innocent way.
03:09:19.000We were playing Grand Theft Auto the other day.
03:09:43.000And then even after the stream ends, he's just talking, talking, talking, talking for hours, fighting me about Toby Keith, fighting me about everything, antagonizing me, fighting me, arguing me, trolling me.
03:09:57.000It's just like he's the troll of the movement.
03:09:59.000He sees like he is like a human troll face.
03:10:03.000He is like if a troll face became real.
03:20:09.000I do recognize her, so she must have been at one point doing content while I was there, because otherwise I probably wouldn't know.
03:20:18.000The people that have an RSBN now, I mean, I like RSBN, but some of their correspondents, I know at least one of them was shit talking to me, one of the guys.
03:20:28.000Not going to name any names, but I know at least one of them was talking shit during Groyper Wars.
03:20:34.000It's like, bro, I'm the best there is.
03:20:37.000I'm the best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be.
03:21:45.000He's the kind of guy that would go so above and beyond.
03:21:49.000I brought you flowers and I got my hair cut all nice and I picked out a cool outfit and I learned Spanish just to say something nice to you.
03:21:57.000And it's like, you're left in the dust because you're a pussy, you know?
03:22:02.000And it's not even like a tough guy thing.
03:24:06.000And then I got in my car, got in the convertible, beautiful day out, got in the convertible, freshly washed, turned on the car, music blasting immediately.
03:28:11.000Anyway, I don't know why that bothers me so much.
03:28:16.000There are people that are generally, you know, in dire straits, and, you know, we should be charitable towards them.
03:28:22.000But what I don't like is people that are irresponsible or they've got their own problems and they are a walking problem and it's a shakedown.
03:28:32.000Like, I don't want to be harassed outside 7 Eleven, okay?
03:28:37.000And you're a perfectly capable, able young adult.
03:33:12.000And it's so ironic that all these lefties try to suppress that he's a mega racist because they know that, like, everyone would find that funny.
03:33:24.000And they'd be like, oh, like, he is actually just an edgelord and funny.
03:33:29.000So, for the first time in history, leftists are not going to put somebody on blast for racism because they know that if they say, look, Catboy Cammie, you know, blasting ends, you know, then people are going to be like, oh, like, So that was all lies.
03:33:57.000Very curious that they chose to elevate this very contrived angle, but not the obvious substance of all his content, which is extremely right wing and extremely wigned out, honestly.
03:34:09.000But anyway, I don't want to jump all back into that, but I was just thinking that the other day.
03:34:15.000I was watching some video on his timeline.
03:34:18.000He got banned from Twitter recently, but I can't even repeat what he said.
03:34:40.000Because if they did, then people would say, hmm, that's a very different person than was portrayed a month ago or four months ago, whatever.
03:34:50.000Not to relitigate all that, but just a reminder, I never did anything wrong.
03:34:55.000People still to this day give me a hard time.
03:34:57.000But you're dumb and your tricks don't work.
03:35:01.000Save the West says, just saw the vouch pick, needs some time to recover.
03:35:30.000Do you know, by the way, not only Vouch, but do you know how many people have emailed me since that incident saying, hey, I made like a cowboy joke and you blocked me, and I'm really sorry.
03:35:41.000I know, I found out it wasn't true, but I was just kidding.
03:35:44.000Like dozens, dozens of people emailed, DM'd, Nick, I believed it.
03:39:18.000And they ended up moving my grandmother into like a showroom, a room where they, not even a room that they use for patients, but a room that they use to, I don't know what the purpose of the showroom is, but it's for like display.
03:39:34.000And it's much bigger and it's much nicer.
03:39:36.000And people pay top dollar, I guess, sometimes to be in there.
03:39:39.000And they put the machine in the bathroom and close the door.
03:39:43.000That's a little thing, but that's not like an example of one of the life saving things, but.
03:39:49.000You know, that's an example of when being a Karen's a good thing, when actually giving a shit is a good thing and it has, you know, consequences for the people you like.
03:39:58.000And there were a lot of instances like that, some of them way more serious.
03:40:02.000Like one time they put my grandma on a drug that caused her to have a bad reaction, and my mom's like, You need to order blood work.
03:40:11.000And they found out her magnesium was like zero.
03:40:13.000And, well, that's a problem, you know?
03:40:17.000So a lot of episodes like that in the hospital, just throughout my life with my mom.
03:40:22.000Just being, you know, caring about those kinds of things, having that expectation, and you get treated better.
03:40:29.000And hey, lo and behold, you get treated better.
03:40:32.000The whole society elevates, everybody's better off.
03:40:34.000It's not hard to do your job, you know, and it's not hard to be a considerate, decent person and care about your neighbor, you know.
03:40:43.000And if you need somebody to be assertive and to be the asshole or be the Karen, then so be it.
03:40:51.000That's the price that you pay or whatever.
03:41:53.000I'm not, I don't know enough about modern church history or like attitudes about that subject to tell you one way or the other.
03:42:00.000But, It's weird, especially these Israel worshipers, like these evangelicals that think that Israel is biblical and the Jewish state of Israel, biblical.
03:49:30.000And in spite of myself, I look at a lot of his content, I shake my head, and I'm like, you're just, you know, can't you just try to clean it up a little bit and not lose your platforms and not say the N-word so much?
03:49:44.000Because he's like a wig net, you know?
03:49:46.000So I shake my head, but I also have to laugh because if it does make me laugh, it is funny.
03:49:52.000So you'll just have to look for it on your own, I guess.
