America First - Nicholas J. Fuentes - CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC: $1 Trillion Stimulus to Include CASH Payments | America First Ep. 566

00:00:05.000 Good evening, everybody.

00:00:05.000 You are watching America First.

00:00:07.000 My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes.

00:00:09.000 We have a great show for you tonight.

00:00:10.000 Very excited to be back with you here tonight on Tuesday for another comfy corona show, another hunkered-down shelter-in-place.

00:00:23.000 Quarantined episode of America First.

00:00:26.000 We've got more to talk about tonight.

00:00:28.000 We'll be talking about the coronavirus.

00:00:31.000 Giving you the latest, latest updates on what's happening.

00:00:34.000 And today we actually got some good news.

00:00:37.000 Today the show is about some very good coronavirus news.

00:00:42.000 We haven't gotten a lot of good news in a long time.

00:00:45.000 It's been a few weeks.

00:00:47.000 Been pretty bad.

00:00:48.000 But we have some good news tonight.

00:00:50.000 Doesn't really pertain so much to the virus or the spread of the virus, but it has to do with money!

00:00:57.000 And tonight the main thing we're talking about is the fiscal stimulus, which is being planned for the coronavirus.

00:01:06.000 They've tried the monetary stimulus.

00:01:08.000 Not really working.

00:01:10.000 They've been pumping billions and I think at this point probably trillions of dollars into the economy through the Federal Reserve.

00:01:17.000 They've initiated quantitative easing.

00:01:20.000 All kinds of things have been done.

00:01:23.000 But finally they're gonna do something which makes a lot of sense to me.

00:01:26.000 They're gonna do something that works as part of their $1 trillion stimulus package.

00:01:32.000 The White House and the Congress are preparing to give every single American a cash payment.

00:01:41.000 And the number $1,000 has been floated.

00:01:44.000 This has been discussed in the media.

00:01:46.000 This is one of the go-to, excuse me, one of the go-to numbers, maybe the baseline for what this would look like.

00:01:52.000 But the President today said at a press conference that among the things that they are considering and that will be in

00:01:59.000 The fiscal stimulus package, which is working its way through Congress now, will be a direct cash payment to most Americans.

00:02:08.000 And like I said, the number that's been floated is $1,000, but actually at the press conference today the Treasury Secretary and the President suggested that it could actually be more than that.

00:02:18.000 There's legislation that's backed now by a number of senators that could have as much as $4,500 per American.

00:02:25.000 I've heard other reports that it could be as much as two $1,000 checks per American.

00:02:31.000 But nevertheless, the good news is we are securing the bag.

00:02:35.000 We are not going to get our Yang bucks.

00:02:38.000 Andrew Yang is not going to be giving us $1,000 per month because he is not in the race anymore to become the president.

00:02:45.000 And we may not get a universal basic income anytime soon.

00:02:50.000 But it looks like we could all cash in on some corona bucks.

00:02:55.000 We could all be laughing our way to the bank on who knows if it's $1,000, $2,000, $4,500.

00:03:01.000 And they say that we could have more direct cash payments depending on how bad the virus is and how bad the economy gets.

00:03:12.000 They say that the reason they're considering the cash payments is this is the most direct form of support that they could give to people.

00:03:20.000 One measure that they floated was a payroll tax cut, but apparently that would take six to eight months to materialize the benefits of that in the economy.

00:03:31.000 So instead they're saying that the most direct and the easiest and the quickest thing that they can do is just giving every American a check.

00:03:39.000 And they said that excluded would be super rich people, it would be means-tested, which means that

00:03:45.000 Probably the highest earning people in the country are not going to get it, but just about everybody else will be getting something like that.

00:03:50.000 So, we'll talk about that.

00:03:52.000 We'll talk more about the fiscal stimulus package.

00:03:55.000 One trillion dollars in several phases.

00:03:58.000 You've got a number of different bills, so we'll get into that.

00:04:01.000 I'll give you the latest updates on the numbers.

00:04:03.000 I finally, finally produced a whiteboard here.

00:04:07.000 We've got all the latest numbers and some other information.

00:04:11.000 I've just been reading it off. 0.99

00:04:13.000 Which is really stupid. 0.98

00:04:15.000 I've just been reading it off for the past, like, three weeks. 0.99

00:04:18.000 I've just been reading a list of numbers.

00:04:21.000 Which is maybe the worst way that you could present information like that.

00:04:25.000 Maybe the worst way that you could present a lot of quantitative information that you need to sort of compare is verbally.

00:04:32.000 That is maybe the worst way to just read off, here's a list of numbers.

00:04:37.000 A thousand cases here, ten thousand cases there, right?

00:04:40.000 So finally, I don't know why I didn't think of that sooner.

00:04:44.000 I think somebody suggested it last week, and it just dawned on me, right?

00:04:48.000 This weekend, and I forgot about it yesterday.

00:04:51.000 So, after the show last night, I said, you know what?

00:04:54.000 I'm putting it on the whiteboard.

00:04:56.000 No further delay.

00:04:57.000 So I wrote it all out, and we've got the whiteboard.

00:05:01.000 It's about time.

00:05:01.000 You know, I'm going to upgrade the studio pretty soon.

00:05:04.000 That's in the works.

00:05:05.000 I've been telling you about this, that it is in the works to severely, to dramatically upgrade my studio setup.

00:05:13.000 Within the next three months I think is gonna be the timetable not a hundred percent sure obviously It's a little bit affected by the coronavirus, but that is the plan and so hopefully In very short order I'll have fancy graphics and fancy physical props I don't know we'll have to see we're still kind of early in the the design phase But you know I'm just thinking to myself it would be nice to look at it on the computer But then I have to like mess with my camera and then

00:05:43.000 So we've got a whiteboard, but we'll give you the updates on the latest numbers and what's happening as far as lockdowns, restaurant or I'm sorry lockdowns, restaurant closures, school closures, how that's going.

00:05:56.000 We'll talk a little bit about what's happening in New York City and this row now between the United States and China which you might have read about.

00:06:04.000 The president tweeted calling the coronavirus the Chinese virus and this has caused big controversy.

00:06:13.000 China is upset with us.

00:06:14.000 The mainstream media is upset with the president.

00:06:17.000 This has caused a lot of drama so we'll talk about that which was addressed in the press conference today and we'll also talk about a situation with

00:06:25.000 Journalists.

00:06:26.000 The United States is putting restrictions on the number of Chinese journalists that can operate in the United States.

00:06:32.000 And in response to this, China has expelled American journalists from the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal.

00:06:40.000 I think that's it.

00:06:41.000 Thorough is the name of the game.

00:07:00.000 But we are living, hello, we are living through a world historical moment, a world historical inflection point.

00:07:11.000 Do you know what that means?

00:07:12.000 Significantly in the history of the world, of humankind, we are living through an inflection point when things were going one way and then they went in another direction.

00:07:21.000 It's a big deal.

00:07:23.000 And for better or for worse, it is going in the history books.

00:07:25.000 And I know, I know I've been saying that now for the past few shows, but I want to impress upon you the significance of what we're living through.

00:07:33.000 If you don't understand it, you know, if you're thinking to yourself, if you're one of these baby boomers that's still out there saying, this is the flu, this is the common cold.

00:07:42.000 No, boomer.

00:07:43.000 This is going to change everything.

00:07:45.000 This will change the way our country is.

00:07:49.000 It'll change the way we work.

00:07:50.000 It'll change the way we travel.

00:07:53.000 It will change the economy.

00:07:54.000 It will change monetary policy.

00:07:57.000 It could possibly change fiscal policy.

00:08:00.000 People are saying that this could be planting the seeds for a UBI in the future.

00:08:04.000 These direct cash payments to Americans in this crisis time

00:08:08.000 Will this pave the way to UBI?

00:08:10.000 That's one example of the ways in which how we respond to this coronavirus and the vulnerabilities in the system that is exposed will change our lives within a year of this, you know?

00:08:21.000 And who knows how long it'll take to fully recover, but once we recover, we will emerge from our coronavirus bunkers in an entirely different world.

00:08:31.000 That acts, works, travels, operates in an entirely different way.

00:08:35.000 So, something to think about!

00:08:37.000 This is big and that's why I'm justifying that we're talking about it every day.

00:08:42.000 And also, you know, it's the news.

00:08:44.000 It's what's going on.

00:08:44.000 But, so we'll talk about the coronavirus.

00:08:46.000 We'll also be talking tonight about the Democratic primary.

00:08:52.000 So, today is, or today was, the Democratic primary in Arizona, Illinois.

00:09:00.000 And Florida.

00:09:02.000 We were scheduled to have a primary in Ohio, but they postponed their primary until June 2nd.

00:09:08.000 So today we only had Arizona, Illinois, Florida.

00:09:11.000 We've already got two decisions.

00:09:14.000 It's already been called in Illinois and Florida for Joe Biden.

00:09:17.000 Arizona, I believe the polls have not closed yet, but I'm not 100% sure.

00:09:22.000 We don't have a determination from them yet as of

00:09:27.000 Excuse me, as of about 10 minutes ago when I started this broadcast, but we'll monitor throughout the night and see what happens in Arizona.

00:09:35.000 But we'll also be talking a little bit about the primary and the current dynamic and a little bit of a fresh and a new take on the state of the race, why Bernie Sanders is still in, why he's not going to jump out.

00:09:46.000 Why we persist.

00:09:48.000 Why do we continue to drag this charade on?

00:09:51.000 We'll talk about that.

00:09:52.000 So it should be a pretty fun show.

00:09:55.000 Whiteboard.

00:09:55.000 Primary.

00:09:56.000 Coronavirus.

00:09:58.000 I'm locked in.

00:09:58.000 I'm comfy.

00:10:00.000 I'm posted.

00:10:00.000 I did a tweet today.

00:10:04.000 Uh, and I was really just feeling it.

00:10:06.000 I was really feeling the cozy vibe.

00:10:08.000 My friend JD, one of the black groipers, one of the African-American groipers, he sent to me this image of, uh, it's not Pepe. 1.00

00:10:20.000 And it's not a Groyper. 1.00

00:10:21.000 I don't know what you call this variant, but he's just sort of like a smug Pepe.

00:10:26.000 And I've seen this thing for years, but it's not... It's a variant on these cartoon frogs, you know, Pepe, Groyper, Apu, whatever.

00:10:35.000 Marv.

00:10:36.000 And so, JD sent me this meme of one of these, uh, Groiper variants just posted up.

00:10:42.000 It says, Big Chillin'.

00:10:44.000 It's, uh, very pixelated, low-res.

00:10:46.000 And I tweeted today about how comfy I am.

00:10:48.000 I'm playing Call of Duty.

00:10:50.000 You know, last night I was playing Call of Duty with Jaden.

00:10:53.000 I'm eating a frozen pizza.

00:10:56.000 I was really just reflecting on how cozy I am.

00:11:16.000 Don't have to go outside, there's no pressure to do anything, everything's kind of canceled for the most part.

00:11:22.000 All we really have to do is hang around, wait it out, slaunt some pizza, frozen pizza, gaming with the friends, gaming with the groipers, and I said this is just like the coziest time ever.

00:11:35.000 It's kind of like, you know, and I don't mean to make light of a bad situation, but there is maybe a silver lining here.

00:11:43.000 Maybe this is the best pandemic ever.

00:11:44.000 If I don't get sick, if nobody I know, if nobody I knows gets sick, then I'm gonna have to say this is kind of fun.

00:11:50.000 Kind of fun.

00:11:51.000 Maybe we should do it again sometime.

00:11:52.000 Maybe we should call everything off.

00:11:54.000 I think I said this in a super chat the other week.

00:11:57.000 Coronavirus is almost like, I don't know if I made this comparison, but I did talk about this last week.

00:12:03.000 Coronavirus is almost like when I was a kid and I went to a baseball game and I was, you know, playing baseball.

00:12:10.000 I used to play baseball in Little League.

00:12:12.000 It's almost like going to a Little League game and the game gets rained out and it's raining and you get to get back in the car and drive home and then play video games.

00:12:20.000 It's like that feeling, but for conceivably months.

00:12:25.000 It's like that feeling, but the whole world has it, and we've got it for months.

00:12:30.000 I mean, and yeah, in the background of that feeling, there is the imminent danger of your, you know, loved ones, and elderly people, you know, contracting a deadly virus and dying, and the economy is tumbling and crashing, and

00:12:43.000 There is a question mark as to whether we can truly recover all the way from all of this, but in the meantime we have to look on the bright side and say we got fruit snacks, we got Capri Sun, we're playing with our buddies Call of Duty, it's raining outside, the game is off, we don't have to worry about much for now.

00:13:02.000 I know I'm stocked up.

00:13:03.000 What do you have to worry about?

00:13:04.000 I'm stocked up.

00:13:06.000 So that's how I've been feeling and I've been posted.

00:13:09.000 I did go out and vote today.

00:13:11.000 I don't know how many of you who are watching the show are in Florida, Illinois or Arizona or have been in any of these primary states since the virus broke out, but I did end up going to vote today.

00:13:23.000 I was actually, you know, I should just like do like a stop and just do a little bit of research on this stuff.

00:13:31.000 I thought I went out to vote today and I told you the other day that I'll tell you what I mean by this.

00:13:37.000 The other day I told you I wasn't planning on voting.

00:13:39.000 I said to myself, you know, it's not worth the risk.

00:13:42.000 I'm not leaving the house.

00:13:43.000 I don't want to touch an electronic screen where people have been touching.

00:13:46.000 I don't want to, you know, talk to all these poll workers that everybody's interacted with.

00:13:52.000 But my father went to vote and he told me that like nobody was there and I was I was tooling around I was driving around the city because it's gonna rain for like three days here so my mom was texting me and she said you should get out it's nice out and it's about to rain for a few days

00:14:08.000 And it was like 50 degrees.

00:14:10.000 So I took the car out, I took the top down, and I'm driving around and I figured, yeah, why not?

00:14:14.000 I'm out here.

00:14:15.000 And what really weighed on me is this race that's been going on in my neck of the woods between Maureen Newman

00:14:23.000 We're good to go.

00:14:41.000 That is, that is there.

00:14:42.000 I mean, out of all of them, he's one of the most conservative.

00:14:45.000 He votes conservative on abortion, on gay marriage, on a lot of the social stuff.

00:14:52.000 I don't know his whole voting record, but I know he's one of the better ones, as good as you're gonna get.

00:14:56.000 Historically, his district is ethnically Polish, a lot of white people.

00:15:01.000 Now it's a lot of Hispanics and actually a lot of Palestinians too.

00:15:04.000 But he is now facing a challenge from this ultra-liberal Marie Newman.

00:15:09.000 Who it's funny, I actually know her son.

00:15:11.000 Her son went to high school with me.

00:15:13.000 And maybe I'll do a story time about that on one of these streams.

00:15:18.000 I don't know if that's going to get me in trouble.

00:15:19.000 I don't know if that's going to end up on the news, but I can tell you some stories about about that situation that's going on there with the Newman family.

00:15:28.000 But in any case, Marie Newman is like this ultra hardcore liberal.

00:15:33.000 I think she's been endorsed by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and like all the like the left wing coalition of the Democratic Party.

00:15:41.000 And so it's this hotly contested race.

00:15:43.000 And I was driving around today and I was thinking to myself,

00:15:47.000 You know, I was feeling kind of guilty because if Marie Newman gets in, she's going to vote for abortion, and she's going to vote for a lot of this stuff.

00:15:54.000 And I, you know, it was weighing on my conscience a little bit.

00:15:57.000 If it's going to be this super tight race, and if the turnout is messed up because of the virus, you know it's not going to be like a traditional turnout.

00:16:05.000 I should probably go and make the right call.

00:16:23.000 It's not a real stellar cast of characters that you get in Cook County politics.

00:16:27.000 That I can tell you.

00:16:28.000 So I pulled up and I said, why not?

00:16:31.000 And I go into the polling place, and I'm risking life and limb here.

00:16:34.000 I've got my handkerchief, I'm using it to open doors and touch things, and fortunately I've got a hand sanitizer station and wipes.

00:16:41.000 It seemed like they had it under control.

00:16:44.000 You know, they had this big jug of hand sanitizer, and they were swabbing everything down with alcohol wipes, the electronic voting cards, and the pens, and the clipboards, and the tables.

00:16:56.000 So it looked like everything was in order.

00:16:58.000 I was keeping my distance, you know.

00:17:01.000 And I had a thing of Purell in my pocket as well.

00:17:04.000 And so I go to vote, I do my voting, and I realize I'm not even in Dan Lipinski's district.

00:17:10.000 I didn't even realize that!

00:17:12.000 I must have been redistricted out at some point because I believe I was at one point in his district.

00:17:17.000 I'm not anymore.

00:17:19.000 So I drove all that way to vote for some, I think my congressman is Chuy Garcia.

00:17:26.000 Chuy Garcia, who, if you remember, he was the one back in January who proposed that radical immigration bill that said, like, we're decriminalizing the border and taxpayers will pay to bring illegal immigrants who have been deported back into the United States.

00:17:41.000 That's that Chuy Garcia.

00:17:43.000 Running unopposed for Congress in my district.

00:17:47.000 I said, okay.

00:17:49.000 But I made the best of a bad situation and I went through the ballot and in every race where there were all women running and one man running, I voted for the man. 0.98

00:18:00.000 And that was the case in so many races.

00:18:02.000 I went through for all the judges and all the different state government positions.

00:18:06.000 There were a lot of different

00:18:09.000 Races where it was like all women and one guy and so I made sure that in every race like that I voted for the guy didn't vote for a woman I tried to vote for Italians and generally white sounding names and Of course exclusively men and particularly in those races, you know, there are viewers like Kimberly Claire and John I'm like, yeah, I'm going with John and it was uh, you know what Deirdre and this one and 0.71

00:18:38.000 And Jimmy, I'm going with Jimmy, you know?

00:18:41.000 So I went through the ballot, I did it like that, and that was actually deeply satisfying, and I submitted my ballot.

00:18:47.000 I have to tell you, there was this problem with the voting thing where I think I pulled my card out too early out of this electronic machine.

00:18:54.000 They give you a card, I don't know how this works, but they give you a card, you plug it into the system, and this is what allows you to make your electronic ballot, you print it out.

00:19:05.000 I must have pulled the card out too early.

00:19:07.000 Whatever the process was, I messed it up.

00:19:09.000 And because I messed it up, the machine was giving me this error message.

00:19:13.000 And these black poll workers just get right up in my business to figure this out. 1.00

00:19:18.000 And I'm just like, nope. 0.95

00:19:20.000 I just walked three yards that way.

00:19:23.000 But I'm thinking, what is the matter with you?

00:19:25.000 These people are just like sidling up next to me and they're touching my screen and touching my card and they're all in my business and they're asking me questions and I'm like trying to like direct my face so that it's not in like the direct line of fire if there's droplets incoming you know through their talking there's a droplet coming I'm hoping I'll catch it on my shoulder or on my pecs you know or something

00:19:47.000 So they come like, and I saw it coming out of the corner of my eye.

00:19:51.000 They're flying towards me.

00:19:53.000 Yeah, I'm gonna dodge that situation.

00:19:56.000 And I'm thinking, do none of you even have the slightest awareness that there's kind of a pandemic going on?

00:20:01.000 Nobody's voting.

00:20:02.000 You're swabbing everything down in alcohol, right?

00:20:05.000 And hand sanitizer, and everybody's talking about it.

00:20:08.000 And you're gonna get in my personal space and, you know, bark all these orders at me?

00:20:14.000 So, I risked my life today.

00:20:17.000 I risked my life.

00:20:18.000 I emerged from the bunker to make the right selection.

00:20:21.000 To make the right selection for life, for traditional marriage and all this.

00:20:27.000 And lo and behold, I'm not able to do that and instead I just increased my risk of being infected.

00:20:33.000 So anyway, that was my voting experience today.

00:20:37.000 I should have just stayed home.

00:20:38.000 I should have just looked it up before I went.

00:20:41.000 Should have just googled it and you're not gone.

00:20:43.000 Just drove around and you know.

00:20:46.000 It's funny around my town everybody's out and about.

00:20:48.000 I'm driving around town for the past few days just to kind of see what's going on.

00:20:52.000 And I guess because school is over everybody's outside now.

00:20:57.000 Kids are outside playing.

00:20:59.000 Parents walking around.

00:21:01.000 People walking their dogs.

00:21:02.000 A lot of strollers.

00:21:05.000 It's like they should they should do coronavirus more often.

00:21:07.000 It's not ironically When when something like this happens, it really makes you rethink like when parents are home spending time with their kids and kids are out of school spending time with their parents and You can't go to the theater and you can't go to the store and people are just kind of forced to you know, be back together maybe this makes us rethink this whole arrangement of

00:21:29.000 A frenzied, fast-paced, all-consuming, work-based society.

00:21:35.000 Career-driven society.

00:21:36.000 Maybe it makes us rethink some of these things.

00:21:38.000 Maybe people are going to say, this is kind of nice.

00:21:41.000 Why do we have to go back to the way it was?

00:21:43.000 So, just some thoughts.

00:21:45.000 But we're going to move on.

00:21:46.000 We're going to talk about everything that's happening.

00:21:47.000 I hope you guys are staying safe out there.

00:21:50.000 I hope you're staying healthy and making sure to maintain social distancing and washing your hands, taking your vitamins, vitamin C, building up your immune system, all that.

00:22:00.000 I hope that's going well.

00:22:01.000 Hope you're stocked up too because lockdown is imminent.

00:22:05.000 But we're going to move on.

00:22:06.000 We're going to talk about what's happening here with the Democratic primary first.

00:22:10.000 And, you know, there's really not a ton to report here.

00:22:12.000 I'm just going to give you a brief update.

00:22:14.000 Today is a very big day in the Democratic primary.

00:22:18.000 You've got scheduled four of the biggest states in the primary.

00:22:21.000 Only three ended up voting.

00:22:23.000 It was supposed to be Ohio, Florida, Illinois, Arizona.

00:22:28.000 Although as I said Ohio postponed their primary so it's just Illinois, Florida, Arizona.

00:22:33.000 Big states, big delegate totals, all projected wins for Joe Biden and huge delegate proportions for Joe Biden and that's how it played out.

00:22:43.000 As of right now and I'll double check once again here from political polls and see if we have anything from Arizona.

00:22:50.000 But at least for now, we know that Joe Biden has won Florida, and we know that Joe Biden has won Illinois.

00:22:57.000 And we all knew this was going to be the outcome.

00:22:59.000 That's why I didn't do an election night coverage like I did for Super Tuesday tonight, or even last week.

00:23:05.000 Because if we've been looking at just about every primary since Super Tuesday, Joe Biden has been the favorite in all but a handful of states.

00:23:14.000 And he is the favorite going forward in the rest of the states, and he's the favorite overall, and he's really the only one that can win.

00:23:20.000 And so a lot of people are wondering, well, why is the race even going on?

00:23:24.000 Why are people even being subjected to a lot of this?

00:23:28.000 If you're talking about a presidential primary, that drives turnout.

00:23:31.000 A lot of people don't turn out for primaries for their state governor,

00:23:36.000 Or rather for their state governments.

00:23:37.000 They don't turn out for down ballot primaries.

00:23:41.000 People mostly turn out, at least a lot of the turnout is driven in the presidential election year, obviously, by the presidential election.

00:23:49.000 People are turning out to vote for Bernie Sanders or Joe Biden.

00:23:52.000 And so to me, I've been thinking it's actually quite irresponsible that Bernie Sanders has not dropped out, especially in light of recent events.

00:24:00.000 He, frankly, should have dropped out after last week.

00:24:03.000 Because it was made abundantly clear, if not on Super Tuesday, at least last week, that Bernie Sanders stands no chance at winning the nomination.

00:24:13.000 The only path for him to win the nomination is to win a majority of the delegates outright, and that path has been foreclosed.

00:24:19.000 There are just simply not enough states where he's leading yet left to win, right?

00:24:25.000 He does well in the West, in the Northwest, in some of these anomalous states like Idaho and Vermont and places like that.

00:24:33.000 But even in a place like Massachusetts, Maine, where traditionally you might expect him to do better, or Michigan, he is just not performing there.

00:24:40.000 The party is consolidated behind Biden.

00:24:42.000 So the question is, why has Bernie Sanders not dropped out?

00:24:46.000 Bernie Sanders knows, and it's very calculated,

00:25:10.000 For all these people that think politicians are good people, they're not.

00:25:14.000 There's one good person, Donald Trump, that's it.

00:25:17.000 All other politicians, none of them are true believers, none of them are true radicals, none of them are who they say they are.

00:25:24.000 And there is a continuum, I would say.

00:25:26.000 There are some people that are just soulless husks, and there are some people that are, they have some convictions, but all politicians, what they all have in common is that they are

00:25:37.000 Cold-blooded, absolutely calculating, cynical, Machiavellian.

00:25:41.000 And they have to be.

00:25:43.000 Especially if you're in office for decades at a time.

00:25:45.000 If you're a career politician.

00:25:47.000 You have to have that intuition.

00:25:49.000 You have to have that aptitude to remain in power.

00:25:52.000 It's just as simple as that in government.

00:25:54.000 To manage the expectations of donors and voters and colleagues and so on.

00:25:59.000 That is just the kind of instinct that you have to have.

00:26:02.000 And so Bernie Sanders, in a very calculated way, is not thinking in terms of public health and that kind of thing.

00:26:08.000 What Bernie Sanders is thinking about is that if he drags this charade on, and he knows he's not going to win, he knows he's not going to be the nominee, in spite of that he persists because if he carries on throughout this contest and keeps accumulating delegates,

00:26:24.000 This will very simply give him leverage in the convention.

00:26:28.000 And he's never going to be the nominee, not leverage to become the nominee, but the more delegates that he has, the more leverage he can command in any kind of a conversation about the general election.

00:26:40.000 In other words, if he has 30 or 35 percent of the delegates, by the end of this contest, he will be able to have an ask for Joe Biden for the cabinet.

00:26:51.000 Or for one of his political cronies or for one of his allies.

00:26:55.000 He wants to trade the political support that he wins for favors.

00:27:00.000 That is the very cold, very straightforward, simple political calculation that is at the core of why Bernie Sanders won't drop out.

00:27:09.000 If he dropped out last week, he'd have no leverage.

00:27:12.000 He would have no political clout.

00:27:14.000 He would have no delegates or support to trade for favors for a position

00:27:20.000 Anything like that.

00:27:21.000 Even like control over the messaging.

00:27:22.000 Like for example...

00:27:24.000 Back in 1992, during the GOP primary for president, you had George Bush, who was the incumbent, and he was running against Pat Buchanan and a few other candidates.

00:27:35.000 And Pat Buchanan, even though he didn't win the nomination, obviously, he won enough support that he could have, and I don't know exactly the math and the numbers behind it, but he wielded enough support that it would have made a difference at the convention if Buchanan revolted.

00:27:50.000 That he had a big

00:27:52.000 A big base of support, people that enthusiastically supported him.

00:27:56.000 And what Pat Buchanan did was he traded his support for the eventual nominee, George Bush, in exchange for George Bush adopting a more socially conservative platform.

00:28:06.000 And that's where Pat Buchanan gave his infamous culture war speech in 1992 and talked about the Pitchforks and the Buchanan Brigades and all this kind of stuff.

00:28:17.000 He talked about the DNC and

00:28:20.000 It's a very famous speech.

00:28:21.000 You can look it up.

00:28:22.000 He gave it at the Republican convention.

00:28:24.000 But that is very similar to what Bernie is doing.

00:28:26.000 Just like Pat Buchanan traded his support for the nominee, which the nominee needed to consolidate the party to be strong going into the general election, Bernie Sanders will do the same.

00:28:36.000 And who knows what the favor will be.

00:28:38.000 Will it be a cabinet position?

00:28:40.000 I don't think that's likely.

00:28:42.000 More likely maybe it would be that Joe Biden adopts parts of Bernie Sanders

00:28:47.000 Agenda or maybe one of Bernie Sanders allies or who knows what it could be I think it's very unlikely that the Bernie would be the running mate or Honestly, even in the cabinet to me that seems unlikely just just based on my instincts But that is why he's carrying on in the race because he knows that the more support he collects The more that he can ask in return and to me on the one hand, you know the way that you have to look at politics is

00:29:12.000 Maybe I'll walk back a little bit what I said a moment ago.

00:29:15.000 On the one hand, you could say that that is a very cold and Machiavellian political calculation.

00:29:21.000 And it is.

00:29:22.000 But another way to look at it is it is directed towards Bernie Sanders' radical political ideology in the sense that

00:29:31.000 Bernie Sanders getting and accumulating political clout and then exerting influence over the nominee.

00:29:37.000 Now on the one hand you could say that maybe that's self-serving.

00:29:40.000 You could certainly say it's cold and calculating and cunning and that kind of thing which maybe has a negative connotation.

00:29:46.000 But another way to look at it is that

00:29:48.000 Bernie Sanders is winning for the Democratic Socialists, right?

00:29:53.000 That if he is a representative, not just of the people in Vermont, but of Democratic Socialists and the left-wing wing of the Democratic Party, then him consolidating the support and then using it to trade with Joe Biden, this is in a way dragging the Democratic Party to the left.

00:30:13.000 And it is winning a lot of market share, whatever you want to say, whatever you want to call that, within a potential Joe Biden White House.

00:30:22.000 And so this is a consolation in essence.

00:30:25.000 If we can't have a Democratic Socialist nominee, well maybe the Democratic Socialist candidate can rack up enough support that we can exert Democratic Socialist priorities over a Joe Biden

00:30:38.000 All politicians have to be like that, but I will walk back.

00:30:54.000 You actually kind of want people like that, because people that are true believers, more often than not, people that are absolute, total, principled, they're above everything, they're going to take the high ground and the high road, these are people that fundamentally lose, right?

00:31:08.000 So, in a way, you know, if you're a democratic socialist, maybe this is the best way that Bernie Sanders can play it.

00:31:15.000 Maybe the best way that you could get comfortable with a Joe Biden nominee.

00:31:19.000 Is it Bernie Sanders is able to command some kind of influence over policy or the running mate or the cabinet something like that?

00:31:27.000 These are all things to consider but that's the state of the race and we'll watch and maybe by the end of the night we'll have a determination in Arizona.

00:31:35.000 I think we will because I don't think it's gonna be close in Arizona.

00:31:40.000 I looked at a lot of the polling beforehand and it's not close.

00:31:44.000 I mean Bernie Sanders isn't projected to even come close in any of these contests and in almost none of the future contests.

00:31:53.000 So, that's the Democratic primary.

00:31:55.000 We'll continue to watch, but as far as I'm concerned, I mean, we've got a nominee.

00:31:59.000 What's going on with my tie here?

00:32:03.000 Okay.

00:32:05.000 Is that better?

00:32:06.000 It's a little better.

00:32:07.000 As far as I'm concerned, we've, I mean, we've got a nominee.

00:32:09.000 It's gonna be Joe Biden.

00:32:11.000 Barring some extenuating, extraordinary, exceptional circumstance, we got Joe Biden and some woman, you know, whoever will be the running mate.

00:32:20.000 But we're gonna move on and talk about the coronavirus and we'll talk about everything that's happening there.

00:32:27.000 First, we will read off, we will do a reading of the numbers.

00:32:31.000 And finally, we have got a whiteboard.

00:32:35.000 Whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard, whiteboard

00:32:57.000 Yes, we are!

00:33:09.000 So what we've got on this whiteboard is we've got the number of confirmed cases, we've got the states, these are the state abbreviations of places where they've closed down, they've ordered restaurants and bars to shut down statewide, and the states that have statewide K-12

00:33:29.000 We're good to go!

00:33:48.000 That's where we're at.

00:34:06.000 We're good to go!

00:34:27.000 We're good to go!

00:34:39.000 You know what?

00:34:58.000 The scope of the numbers that we're talking about here.

00:35:01.000 So 200,000 worldwide might not seem like a lot but it is compared to 100 which is two months ago.

00:35:07.000 We've got 80,881 cases in China.

00:35:11.000 How do they do it?

00:35:12.000 How do they do it?

00:35:13.000 That's incredible!

00:35:15.000 They have not had more than 81,000 cases yet.

00:35:18.000 It just grew from 100 to 80,000 in a span of six weeks and then it just tapered off and hasn't grown since.

00:35:26.000 Miraculous.

00:35:27.000 Italy is up to 31,506 cases.

00:35:31.000 This is beyond a doubt the worst situation in the world.

00:35:34.000 Obviously outside of China.

00:35:36.000 Iran is at 16,169 cases.

00:35:37.000 Spain at 11,826.

00:35:37.000 And Spain is one to watch.

00:35:38.000 Spain will be next week where Italy is today.

00:35:49.000 Because Italy was last week where Spain is today.

00:35:53.000 So we know that Spain's situation will track with Italy's and you'll see the numbers skyrocket.

00:36:00.000 It's getting really bad there.

00:36:02.000 Two weeks ago Spain had nothing to speak of.

00:36:04.000 I don't even know if they had a single case of coronavirus until pretty late in the game before they detected a single case.

00:36:10.000 Now they're up to nearly 12,000.

00:36:13.000 South Korea is at 8,320 confirmed cases.

00:36:17.000 They have been able to control it and we talked about why that is.

00:36:21.000 They appear to be one of the only countries that's been able to contain a severe outbreak.

00:36:26.000 Some countries just have not had a severe outbreak.

00:36:30.000 But South Korea appears to be the only country that has had a really bad outbreak.

00:36:35.000 Really high rates of new cases every day and being able to test all those people, confirm them, quarantine them, and treat them.

00:36:45.000 South Korea is really the model.

00:36:47.000 I don't think anybody's done it better than them.

00:36:49.000 Germany now up to 9,360 cases.

00:36:53.000 So Germany actually has more than South Korea now, which gives you an idea.

00:36:56.000 South Korea and Italy and Iran were the three countries to watch last week, two weeks ago.

00:37:02.000 And South Korea obviously shut down the new cases.

00:37:06.000 Italy, they keep skyrocketing.

00:37:07.000 Germany now surpassing South Korea.

00:37:09.000 Very bad.

00:37:10.000 France up to 7,730.

00:37:11.000 USA is up to 6,133.

00:37:12.000 And I think this number actually might be slightly higher.

00:37:20.000 I saw on BNO.

00:37:21.000 I made this at like 630 and since then I think the US is now up to 6,256 is the latest number.

00:37:30.000 So the USA, the numbers are going up rapidly as we get more people tested.

00:37:36.000 And my projection is that the USA will be the biggest country outside of China in a month or less.

00:37:44.000 I would say that as the United States tests everybody that suspects they have the virus, we will rapidly shoot up and climb and we will get the high score and we will be right behind China in terms of confirmed cases.

00:37:58.000 And that is simply because we have more people.

00:38:00.000 You know, we're looking at all these numbers, but the numbers we're not looking at is the population totals.

00:38:05.000 You've got 80,000 in China with 1.5 billion people, right?

00:38:06.000 You've got

00:38:12.000 8,000 in South Korea with a population of of what is it I think 50 million people something like that I think Italy is similar Germany I think has 80 million people the USA has 330 million people so what's missing is is the proportionality is the percentage of the population

00:38:31.000 And so when we're just thinking about just things that we know about the United States, bigger population, healthcare system is a lot more complicated, the tests have been way slower than in other countries, we know that it's going to be a severe outbreak in the USA.

00:38:49.000 And so if we're talking about similar percentages, then the USA is going to have like 50,000 cases next week, two weeks from now.

00:38:56.000 You know, we don't know when we test everybody, but

00:38:58.000 Within a month, we're going to be right up there pushing up against where China is.

00:39:02.000 And that's to give you an idea.

00:39:03.000 If people are telling you, don't worry, it's just $6,000.

00:39:07.000 Well, I heard some retarded boomer in Walgreens saying that it was just $1,000 and that's nothing to worry about last week. 1.00

00:39:14.000 And now it's $6,000.

00:39:15.000 And that's because they're just testing everybody that has it.

00:39:18.000 And what's going to be in one week, two, three, four weeks, six weeks, when the tests are out, and it's been transmitted, and you have asymptomatic and symptomatic transmissions?

00:39:27.000 We're going to have more cases than China, and it will be in the millions at some point.

00:39:32.000 Definitely globally, and perhaps even within the United States.

00:39:36.000 You're going to have millions of infected people.

00:39:39.000 So, just 6,000.

00:39:40.000 Well, keep all that in mind.

00:39:42.000 Switzerland is at 2,700 and the United Kingdom is at 1,950.

00:39:47.000 So that's how we're doing with the numbers.

00:39:49.000 As you can see, we are now in the thousands for, what is this, the top?

00:39:52.000 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

00:39:52.000 For the top, did I count that right?

00:39:58.000 Yeah, so for the top 10 countries, we're now in the thousands.

00:40:01.000 That was not the case last week.

00:40:03.000 Last week there were a handful of countries in the thousands, and now it's, you know, there's even more countries than that outside the top 10 that are thousands.

00:40:10.000 Netherlands, Norway, a few others, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark.

00:40:15.000 But that's the number of cases.

00:40:16.000 In terms of restaurants and bar closures, we've got 24 states that have ordered all their restaurants closed.

00:40:24.000 And I don't know, do you want me to read through all these?

00:40:27.000 I mean, we got Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, and the new states that announced today that they were ordering all restaurants and bar closed.

00:40:45.000 This was as of yesterday.

00:40:48.000 This bottom row is as of today.

00:40:50.000 Florida, Iowa, North Carolina, South Carolina, West Virginia, and Wisconsin have ordered all restaurants and bars closed.

00:40:59.000 And in terms of K-12 forced school closures, we've got 38 states.

00:41:06.000 And I'm not going to read off all of them.

00:41:08.000 You know, I'd probably be more smart to read off the states that don't.

00:41:11.000 But, you know, Texas hasn't closed, and a number of states in the West and in the middle have not closed.

00:41:16.000 California hasn't closed.

00:41:18.000 But, uh, 38.

00:41:19.000 And we're gonna near total, total coverage on this.

00:41:22.000 I'm sure we'll get to, you know, nearly 50 states will have forced all their schools to close.

00:41:27.000 And pretty close to all 50 states, I'm sure, will do restaurant and bar closures and things like that.

00:41:32.000 And that's just to give you an idea, not just of the severity of the outbreak, but also of the response from the government.

00:41:39.000 So that's where we're at today.

00:41:40.000 24 states, 38 states, 200,000 cases is where we are.

00:41:45.000 So that's your whiteboard.

00:41:46.000 That's the raw data.

00:41:48.000 These are your numbers.

00:41:50.000 But I'll get into everything else that's happening.

00:41:53.000 Latest updates, the press conference and all that.

00:41:57.000 I gotta find a better way.

00:41:58.000 Maybe tomorrow we'll do different numbers.

00:41:59.000 We'll do different data.

00:42:00.000 We'll switch it up.

00:42:01.000 We'll keep the confirmed cases.

00:42:03.000 Maybe we'll look at stock market tomorrow.

00:42:06.000 We'll do a whiteboard for stock market.

00:42:07.000 Maybe we could rotate the numbers that are on there.

00:42:10.000 But that's where we're sitting with cases and with response.

00:42:15.000 There's an article today in the New York Times talking about the spread across the country.

00:42:20.000 We now, and this is kind of a notable benchmark, we now have confirmed cases in all 50 states.

00:42:27.000 We passed two benchmarks today.

00:42:28.000 We have a confirmed case in all 50 states.

00:42:32.000 And we have 100 deaths as of today.

00:42:35.000 That's where we're at with coronavirus.

00:42:37.000 And there was also another interesting information, another interesting fact from that article that most of the people that have died from the virus so far have been in their 60s.

00:42:49.000 Or older.

00:42:49.000 Several have been in their 90s, but there have been younger people who have died.

00:42:54.000 A guy in New York City was in his 50s and he died.

00:42:59.000 And a guy in Seattle was in his 40s and he got killed by coronavirus.

00:43:04.000 And that's just to remind you, and I'm going to keep reminding you, that just because you're not elderly doesn't mean it's not going to hurt you.

00:43:12.000 Just because you're a young guy, even if you're my age or 30 or 40,

00:43:18.000 It can be severe for everybody.

00:43:20.000 It can be deadly for anybody.

00:43:22.000 Statistically, the odds that it's deadly or that it's severe are low, but in a country where lots of infections are happening, high numbers of people will have severe cases and die.

00:43:32.000 And you don't want to play around with something like that.

00:43:34.000 I don't understand why people have such a flippant attitude about this, and I've been hearing this.

00:43:40.000 I've been hearing this from my own family members and from friends and online.

00:43:44.000 People are acting like, well, if you're not old and therefore you have a low chance of dying, then you really shouldn't be bothered to take precautionary measures.

00:43:53.000 It's fine if you get it.

00:43:55.000 It's just the flu.

00:43:56.000 For some people it is.

00:43:58.000 And for a lot of healthy people, it's really bad.

00:44:01.000 For a lot of healthy people, they're on respirators.

00:44:03.000 I'm sorry, not respirators.

00:44:05.000 They're on oxygen.

00:44:07.000 And, uh, you know, I was reading, I retweeted a thread today on Twitter, a young, healthy guy in his 30s who, like, ran marathons and was in great shape, and this guy was, like, dying.

00:44:19.000 He's, like, he's been sick for two weeks, not getting better, can't eat, can't walk because he gets winded, he doesn't have enough air.

00:44:26.000 I mean, it is brutal and painful and it does organ damage and lots of permanent, long-lasting damage.

00:44:33.000 Not something you want to play around with, right?

00:44:35.000 Even if you're not elderly.

00:44:36.000 But elderly are the most at risk, but everybody should be smart.

00:44:41.000 So that's the latest from the U.S., but I want to get into the fiscal stimulus.

00:44:44.000 That's the big story from today.

00:44:46.000 Trump did another press conference, which was good.

00:44:50.000 It is great to see the press conferences.

00:44:52.000 I have to say, and people have been asking me about this,

00:44:57.000 People have been asking me about what I think about Trump's response to the virus.

00:45:01.000 Has it been good?

00:45:03.000 Has it been bad?

00:45:04.000 Has it been adequate?

00:45:05.000 And I have to tell you that this administration is really impressive.

00:45:10.000 And I think that by the end of this, we will have had... I mean, and it'll be brutal.

00:45:14.000 Don't get me wrong.

00:45:15.000 The economy's rough.

00:45:16.000 And the public health situation will worsen.

00:45:19.000 And the healthcare system will be overwhelmed.

00:45:21.000 But I think all things considered, there is something that inspires a lot of confidence.

00:45:27.000 That every day the president is hosting a news conference, and you know he rarely does the news conferences in the briefing room, but he's been doing that almost every day in the Rose Garden, the briefing room.

00:45:38.000 He's doing press conferences.

00:45:40.000 He's got a team of experts.

00:45:42.000 Pence is in there.

00:45:43.000 Treasury Secretary's in there.

00:45:45.000 Dr. Fauci's in there, right?

00:45:47.000 All these different people, the experts are there, and every day they've got an update.

00:45:51.000 Every day they've got an update, they've got a plan, they're answering questions, they're acting quickly, they're mobilizing, and to me that was always the appeal of the president.

00:46:01.000 It wasn't, I mean obviously it was immigration restriction and trade protection and foreign policy non-intervention, but on top of that it was that the president is an executive.

00:46:13.000 You know, and I know that's maybe a boomer thing to say, but when you look at Barack Obama, I know it's so a boomer, Barack Obama was a community organizer.

00:46:22.000 And that's maybe something you'll hear on Fox News or talk radio, but it's also true.

00:46:27.000 Barack Obama was a guy who was in debt when he first became a state senator.

00:46:32.000 The guy was like underwater, $300,000 on his house. 0.98

00:46:34.000 The guy was like a bum. 0.99

00:46:38.000 And, you know, he can't even figure out his own personal finances, and then he was a shitty senator, and then he became the president. 1.00

00:46:44.000 And somebody like that is just simply not qualified to do the job. 0.88

00:46:48.000 And that's why the recession was handled so poorly, and the war was handled so poorly, even Obamacare was a disaster.

00:46:55.000 Everything this guy did was a mess because he simply was not a competent individual.

00:47:00.000 Trump, on the other hand, a big part of the personal appeal is that he was an executive.

00:47:05.000 And people could say, well, you know, did he make money on TV?

00:47:08.000 Sure.

00:47:09.000 But he also had a lot of experience in making things happen.

00:47:12.000 You know, building a skyscraper in New York City is a difficult task.

00:47:18.000 to secure the property right the the land to secure the air rights to build something like that to to secure funding and all that i mean that's a tremendous undertaking somebody that can build skyscrapers that is a demonstration of competence as an executive

00:47:35.000 And that was a big reason why I voted for him.

00:47:38.000 You know, that was one of the major appeals, I think, of him as a president.

00:47:41.000 Aside from the policy stuff.

00:47:43.000 And I think we're seeing that shine through now.

00:47:45.000 I think we could not be in better hands with Trump.

00:47:49.000 And a lot of people give him a lot of hate from both sides.

00:47:52.000 From the left, obviously.

00:47:53.000 But also from a lot of people that watch this show, even.

00:47:56.000 Or the alt-right.

00:47:57.000 Or even some of Erica Firster's are disenchanted with

00:48:02.000 The President.

00:48:03.000 But I have to say, it's been a very strong response to see him and he's visible and he's got experts and there's a plan and there's mobilization and all that.

00:48:11.000 It inspires a lot of confidence.

00:48:13.000 You know, he, in spite of having the world on his shoulders, by all accounts, appears to be healthy and vigorous and all this.

00:48:21.000 But I want to talk about the stimulus package that was announced today.

00:48:26.000 And we don't have all the details, we have a general idea.

00:48:29.000 And I'll read to you, this is a report from the New York Times about what's in there.

00:48:34.000 It says, quote, as the growing economic toll of the coronavirus became clearer, the White House said that it supported the idea of sending cash payments directly to Americans as part of a broader $850 billion stimulus proposal that Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin discussed Tuesday with Republicans on Capitol Hill.

00:48:54.000 It was a shift in priority for the administration which has been advocating a payroll tax cut and it came as the coronavirus ground large swaths of the economy to a halt.

00:49:05.000 Mr. Mnuchin noted that the effects of a payroll tax cut would take months to reach people.

00:49:10.000 And so if you've been following this closely...

00:49:13.000 And watching the press conferences, the conversation has been about stimulus.

00:49:19.000 The economy is slowing down, and it's slowing down because of real things that are happening.

00:49:24.000 Somebody was talking about comparing the coronavirus recession to the 2008 recession.

00:49:30.000 And they're fundamentally different because what happened in 2008 was kind of an anomaly.

00:49:35.000 I mean, if you really know a lot about the 2008 recession, it had a lot to do with regulations about mortgages and securities and things like that.

00:49:45.000 You know, the reason why 2008 blew up was because of bad policies that were made and

00:49:51.000 You know, bad policies about giving home loans led to bad pension funds and things.

00:50:00.000 I don't want to get into the whole, it's a very complex subject, but if you understand 2008, this was really manufactured at the top.

00:50:08.000 This was a lot of like, it was the fault of financial instruments and mortgage policies and things like that, housing policies.

00:50:15.000 With the coronavirus it's fundamentally different because what's causing this recession is that we're not getting manufacturing from China.

00:50:24.000 And consumers are not buying things in stores.

00:50:28.000 And people are not traveling on airplanes.

00:50:30.000 And so it is a very real economic recession in the strictest sense of real tangible economic activity that is simply shutting down.

00:50:41.000 Consumption is not happening.

00:50:43.000 Investment is not happening.

00:50:45.000 Exports and imports are not happening like in in very real terms and the economy is so fake and so illusory and so much of it like in 2008 it's just bullshit computer stuff and financial instruments that go awry and you know bad policies things like that bad packaging up of collateralized debt and things like that but this is just like shipping containers are not coming to our ports

00:51:09.000 And businesses don't have any patrons because people are staying at home and they're not spending money.

00:51:15.000 And I know that sounds simple but that is a very, that's a very big comparison.

00:51:20.000 That's a very big point of contrast rather between the two to give you an idea of the nature of the crisis.

00:51:26.000 And so the question now is to what extent can we stimulate the economy in a time like this?

00:51:30.000 And initially what the reaction was from the government is

00:51:34.000 What it is every time.

00:51:36.000 Oh, just stimulate the economy with cheap money.

00:51:39.000 That's what we've been doing for 10 years and actually a lot longer but really in the last 10 or 12 years since 2006-2008 is whenever the stock market goes down, whenever there's a sign of a correction, the Federal Reserve simply cuts the rates.

00:51:56.000 And you cut the rates, and that means people are going to invest more money.

00:51:59.000 You know, there's an incentive to invest rather than save.

00:52:02.000 I'm oversimplifying for the sake of giving you the reader's digest.

00:52:07.000 People throw more money in, or it's quantitative easing, in which case the Federal Reserve is just injecting money into the system.

00:52:14.000 But that has always been the idea, is just inject more liquidity, inject more cheap credit,

00:52:20.000 Just quantitative easing your way out of any kind of economic turmoil.

00:52:24.000 And that was initially what was tried with the coronavirus.

00:52:27.000 At the first sign of trouble the Fed just started pumping money and they announced quantitative easing and we're gonna do more of this and it had no effect.

00:52:36.000 It had a little bit of effect and then you know we saw like last week or this weekend they pumped in 1.5 trillion dollars and immediately that just completely disappeared, right?

00:52:47.000 Stock market went up a little bit and then went right back down.

00:52:50.000 So they're rethinking the stimulus now away from these conventional monetary measures because obviously, and the reason why I compared this to the 2008 recession, is something like 2008 or even something like the Great Depression can be solved with liquidity, can be solved with, you know, restoring confidence and consuming and the dollar and all that.

00:53:10.000 But that's not the kind of crisis that we're in right now.

00:53:13.000 We're in a crisis because of this virus.

00:53:15.000 And until the virus burns its way through the country, or washes through the country, people will not be out, and they will not be buying, and they will not be earning, and all the rest.

00:53:24.000 And until then, you're going to need to figure out how to keep the economy afloat, how to kind of keep it in suspension.

00:53:31.000 And so that's why now they're considering fiscal or in other words budgetary measures which would be a payroll tax cut was initially floated say that people don't have to you know pay their taxes on their on their checks on their paychecks and then they floated the idea of deferring taxes for April 15th the deadline we're going to defer that 90 days but one of the problems they're having with a lot of these measures is it takes a long time for you to see that reflected in the economy.

00:54:01.000 Like the payroll tax cut.

00:54:02.000 That has been discussed for the past week or two.

00:54:05.000 The president keeps saying this.

00:54:06.000 They keep putting this in the news reports.

00:54:08.000 It keeps being floated to the media.

00:54:10.000 And as Mnuchin said today, you're not going to see the effect of the payroll tax cut for months.

00:54:16.000 And we need something now, because people need cash in their pockets now.

00:54:21.000 If you're a waiter, for example, if you're a server at a restaurant, your job is cancelled.

00:54:26.000 You're not making tips.

00:54:27.000 You're not making income.

00:54:29.000 If you rely on that money to pay your rent and pay your bills, you're out of luck.

00:54:33.000 And somebody like that doesn't have nine months to wait for a payroll tax cut, and in any case, there's no pay that's being had there, right?

00:54:40.000 There's no payroll tax to cut.

00:54:42.000 You don't get payroll tax if you don't get payroll, right?

00:54:46.000 So that's not gonna work.

00:54:48.000 And that's just one example but that's happening across the economy.

00:54:51.000 Because you cut the payroll tax doesn't mean that people are going to suddenly start patronizing businesses or that's going to put money.

00:54:57.000 So when they're talking about the cash payments this is so reassuring because to me this represents a dramatic change in policy.

00:55:05.000 I don't think we've ever really seen anything like this.

00:55:08.000 I believe in the 2008 recession some people got some direct financial assistance and you know maybe this has been tried before in minor ways but something like giving every single American except for the very rich thousands of dollars just a direct cash payment as far as I know I don't think that's ever happened in a grand way like we're talking about now.

00:55:30.000 And that it only took like a couple of days for that to be suggested and now it's in place and now it's being talked about in Congress and it's coming down the pike.

00:55:39.000 That to me shows that this administration is really moving rapidly, very aggressively, which is a good thing.

00:55:46.000 Because when I think about a cash payment, that to me is the most sensible way of solving this.

00:55:52.000 A check of, for example, $1,000 to every American.

00:55:57.000 The reason why it's brilliant is because this really does not require overhead.

00:56:01.000 If there were some really complicated, convoluted tax credit or an unemployment benefit or, you know, something like that.

00:56:10.000 What does this require?

00:56:11.000 It requires oversight.

00:56:13.000 It requires people to write regulations.

00:56:15.000 It requires people to administer this in offices.

00:56:18.000 If you're telling everybody, well, except for people that make this much money, everyone's going to get this much sent to their mailbox, a check.

00:56:27.000 That's simple.

00:56:28.000 In terms of logistics, I mean obviously it's a pretty big undertaking, but it's not has the complications as other measures that you could take.

00:56:36.000 It doesn't have the delay that other measures could take.

00:56:38.000 And moreover, you send this to everybody, they get their check, they cash it, that's cash in their hands, and then they can pay their bills and pay for their food.

00:56:46.000 And that's what's required right now.

00:56:47.000 What's required now is actually a lot of things.

00:56:51.000 But you look at like 2008 as an example, and who got the bailout when things got nasty?

00:56:57.000 The banks?

00:56:58.000 The auto industry?

00:57:00.000 Right?

00:57:00.000 The big lenders.

00:57:02.000 It was all the people at the top.

00:57:03.000 And the people at the bottom just kind of had to fend for themselves.

00:57:06.000 And that's why it was a really nasty recession.

00:57:09.000 In a recession like this, because it's more real and because, like I said, you've got a lot of differences between then and now, just giving people the cash payments, that's going to keep the money moving around, that's going to keep everything afloat, that will allow people to patronize businesses still in their time of need, you know?

00:57:26.000 People might order their carry-out to support their local restaurant and

00:57:30.000 We're good to go!

00:57:46.000 You know that is an administration that is taking action because so often conservatives in particular think of the government and I guess everybody but conservatives in particular think of the government as sluggish and slow and can't do anything and can't be counted on for anything and generally that's true.

00:58:05.000 You know, generally the government is inefficient, and generally the government does not do things as well as the free market.

00:58:11.000 But that doesn't mean that the government can't do anything right.

00:58:14.000 And I think what this administration is demonstrating to a lot of people is, if there is a will, if there is a political will, and if there is competence, and if you make good decisions, the state can actually be extremely helpful.

00:58:29.000 And conservatives need to learn this lesson.

00:58:32.000 Sometimes you need the government.

00:58:35.000 For crises, but also for day-to-day functions.

00:58:39.000 And conservatives, I think, should get it out of their heads that we should always turn up our noses at government and turn up our noses at politics and things like that because that's how you actually get things done.

00:58:50.000 And, increasingly, that's the only way that we can get things done.

00:58:54.000 Because where is power distributed in the 21st century?

00:58:58.000 Traditionally, and this is all we know, and historically this is what we know, is that the state is all-powerful.

00:59:04.000 This is why conservatives think the way they do.

00:59:08.000 They have a 1940s mentality.

00:59:11.000 When conservatives are afraid of power,

00:59:14.000 They're afraid of power corrupting, and absolute power corrupting absolutely.

00:59:19.000 And they're afraid of tyranny.

00:59:20.000 Who are they afraid of?

00:59:21.000 They're afraid of the state.

00:59:23.000 Not the free market, not Silicon Valley, you know, not an NGO, not a cabal, not a, you know, a oligopoly or a cartel.

00:59:32.000 They're afraid of the state.

00:59:33.000 And that's because historically, since maybe the 18th century, the nation state has been the primary organizing unit of civilization, and because it collects all the taxes,

00:59:43.000 And it predates a lot of commerce and mercantilism and the free market and the industrial revolution.

00:59:50.000 We see the state as the nucleus of power in a country and in a society.

00:59:56.000 But we know that that's actually not how it is anymore.

00:59:59.000 That's not how it is in the 21st century.

01:00:02.000 The state may be the most powerful entity in the world, when we're looking at different institutions.

01:00:08.000 The state may be the single most powerful, most concentrated black hole of power that there is.

01:00:14.000 Because it has the military, and it has the power to tax, and the power to coin money, is maybe where they derive most of their power.

01:00:21.000 But increasingly, as we all know,

01:00:24.000 We're good to go!

01:00:42.000 Apple trillion dollar company.

01:00:44.000 Facebook's pretty close, right?

01:00:45.000 A lot of them are getting pretty close.

01:00:47.000 You've got huge financial interests.

01:00:49.000 You've got huge power in the mainstream media.

01:00:53.000 You know, think about the power that like the five or six media conglomerates have.

01:00:57.000 Viacom, Fox, ABC, all these different...

01:01:01.000 It's incredible.

01:01:02.000 It's a different kind of power.

01:01:04.000 It doesn't have the same financial or kinetic power of the government, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have power, right?

01:01:09.000 In a lot of ways, the power of the media and the power of the government are interdependent, right?

01:01:15.000 Because the media informs the public and the public chooses the government.

01:01:19.000 So there's this relationship.

01:01:20.000 In other words, it's a lot more complicated than it was before.

01:01:24.000 And so, when we as conservatives, to bring it all back to what I was talking about, that's an important point to make,

01:01:31.000 We as conservatives may only thrive if we use the state apparatus because all the other nuclei or loci of power in the country, Wall Street, Silicon Valley, academia, Hollywood, the mainstream media, I don't know if you know, but you can't simply just walk into those institutions and take them over.

01:01:54.000 You can't win an election and become the president of Hollywood and decide, you know, what are the big property movies that get made.

01:02:01.000 You can't get to decide what's in the next Star Wars.

01:02:04.000 And you don't get to walk into academia and become the president and say, this is the kind of scholarship we're going to produce for the next decade.

01:02:12.000 But you can, with the government more or less, with a little bit of funding and organization, you can gain control of the government and wield the state, and the state being the most powerful apparatus in a landscape of lots of powerful apparatuses, that might be the only one that we can wield to achieve the things that we want.

01:02:33.000 Because we can't control Wall Street and we're never going to control Hollywood or academia, public schools, any of these things.

01:02:39.000 But we can, as Donald Trump has demonstrated, wield power with the state.

01:02:44.000 And if we use the state, if we have the will and the competency, and if we just simply approach it with the right attitude, and there's always going to be bureaucratic inefficiencies and perverse incentives in government that don't exist in the private sector, but if we just adopt a different mentality and we say we can command the state,

01:03:04.000 You say that the government is good for nothing?

01:03:06.000 We will show you otherwise.

01:03:07.000 We will make it work.

01:03:08.000 We can wield the state and we will crush our enemies in these other institutions and achieve what we want to achieve.

01:03:15.000 That's the only way.

01:03:17.000 When we're thinking about power dynamics, when we're thinking about how to change society, to change society you have to wield power.

01:03:25.000 To wield power, you have to look at the sources, where power comes from, and in what ways.

01:03:31.000 Does it come from persuasion?

01:03:33.000 Does it come from information?

01:03:34.000 Does it come from propaganda, or money, or guns?

01:03:38.000 The government is like, got a lot of that going on, and maybe the center of it, the nucleus, still, even if it's not the biggest or the only game in town, it still is the most powerful.

01:03:48.000 And I didn't mean to say that it's not, but there's just other institutions, obviously, that are interdependent.

01:03:54.000 So when I look at this coronavirus stuff and I look at the cash payments, and I've been saying this about Trump, this is the time for conservatives to become big government conservatives.

01:04:04.000 Nobody wants to say that because we have this cult of small government and big guff sucks and all that, but it's time.

01:04:10.000 It's time for a right-wing FDR. 0.82

01:04:13.000 Trump should have been that.

01:04:14.000 He could be that.

01:04:15.000 But if he isn't, we need somebody to be that.

01:04:17.000 We need a right-wing FDR who rises to the top through populist appeal. 1.00

01:04:22.000 And it doesn't, you know, principles and the Constitution and all this kind of stuff.

01:04:26.000 Please, please, this is just holding us back.

01:04:30.000 Get a populist and just think about this middle American radical coalition of the working class, generally white people, Christians, maybe working class sections of other racial demographics.

01:04:42.000 Rise to the top, and just help people.

01:04:46.000 And forget all this stuff about small government, and it has to be this way, and we have to do... Cut their taxes, give them free healthcare, right?

01:04:55.000 Bring home the troops, fix trade, open factories, kiss babies, start a national media outlet, and just go balls to the wall, and that's the only way it's gonna happen.

01:05:07.000 And anyway...

01:05:09.000 I guess this is kind of a detour, but I look at coronavirus and the cash payments and I'm thinking this is so obvious.

01:05:15.000 Giving people money?

01:05:16.000 It's almost too easy.

01:05:18.000 Gee, imagine that.

01:05:19.000 A crisis happens, and the government's going to pay you money.

01:05:24.000 You mean to tell me that a horrible economic crisis happens.

01:05:28.000 You're out of luck, right?

01:05:29.000 Maybe you're out of a job.

01:05:30.000 Maybe you're making less money.

01:05:32.000 Or you have to stockpile goods on short notice.

01:05:35.000 You have to go to Walmart and buy two weeks worth of stuff.

01:05:37.000 A lot of people don't have that in their budget.

01:05:38.000 They're living paycheck to paycheck. 0.93

01:05:40.000 It's gonna really suck.

01:05:41.000 I don't know what I'm gonna do.

01:05:42.000 Now normally, the modus operandi of Republican administration is to say, you're on your luck!

01:05:47.000 Or you're on your own!

01:05:48.000 Good luck!

01:05:49.000 Pull yourself up by your bootstraps!

01:05:52.000 You know, hard times, well, that's...

01:05:55.000 That's the way it is.

01:05:56.000 Lots of luck.

01:05:57.000 Let's just band together and give each other spiritual support.

01:06:01.000 Or they bail out the banks.

01:06:02.000 They bail out the billionaires and millionaires and the banks and Wall Street and all that.

01:06:06.000 But you're on your own.

01:06:07.000 Imagine a government that would say, you know what?

01:06:10.000 You're going to have a hard time.

01:06:12.000 Here's $1,000.

01:06:13.000 You got to stock up on food.

01:06:16.000 Maybe you're out of a job for a little while.

01:06:18.000 Here's $1,000 and let me know how it goes.

01:06:20.000 If it's still bad in a month, I'll send you another $1,000.

01:06:24.000 Oh, solve your problems.

01:06:26.000 Wow, thank you so much.

01:06:29.000 That's so refreshing.

01:06:30.000 I had a problem, and now the politician that's running the government is going to help me.

01:06:35.000 Instead of helping, like, some billionaire and telling me, well, here's how that's going to help you in, like, this convoluted way, well, here's just $1,000.

01:06:42.000 Let's just cut to the chase.

01:06:44.000 You know, normally Republicans would say, well, I'm going to cut George Soros' taxes, and I'll cut Charles Koch's taxes, and I'll cut Sheldon Adelson's taxes, and theoretically then the economy will grow and you'll make more money. 0.98

01:06:58.000 Well, if the economy's going to grow, let's just cut to shit and I'll just give you the money up front. 0.97

01:07:03.000 Sounds great to me. 0.99

01:07:05.000 It's so obvious, and it is.

01:07:07.000 That is what politics is supposed to be.

01:07:09.000 That's how the Democrats play.

01:07:11.000 That's how we need to play, too.

01:07:13.000 For years, Republicans have been saying, Democrats win elections because they're giving out free stuff.

01:07:18.000 Okay, give out your own free stuff!

01:07:22.000 And that's what we do.

01:07:23.000 We just complain.

01:07:24.000 Sit on the sidelines and say, oh well, Democrats are giving away free stuff.

01:07:29.000 I guess that's what you have to do to win an election today.

01:07:32.000 We've got our principles.

01:07:33.000 Hey, we may not have the Congress, we may not have the White House, we may not wield any institutional power or have achieved anything in 50 years, but at least we had our principles.

01:07:45.000 Well, when all this was happening, we were writing about how this was just like the Roman Republic falling.

01:07:51.000 This was just like the Roman Republic! 0.99

01:07:54.000 And when future historians read our works, when future historians read Conscience of a Conservative, and they read the Conservatarian Manifesto, they'll say, wow.

01:08:04.000 Wow, these guys figured it out.

01:08:05.000 That America was falling apart, and you know, and they somberly wrote about it.

01:08:09.000 Congratulations.

01:08:10.000 How about instead you just offer your own free stuff?

01:08:13.000 Help your voters.

01:08:14.000 Democrats help their voters. 1.00

01:08:16.000 They give their voters free shit. 1.00

01:08:18.000 They give them phones. 1.00

01:08:20.000 They give their voters phones.

01:08:22.000 When's the last time a Republican gave you anything?

01:08:25.000 They give them phones, they give them cash, they give them school, healthcare, citizenship.

01:08:31.000 And whatever you want, free transit, school lunches, SNAP, you know, food assistance, anything you need.

01:08:38.000 Disability, housing, retirement, whatever you want, name it.

01:08:43.000 And Republicans, what is their message?

01:08:45.000 Well, give me a job.

01:08:47.000 Nobody wants a job! 0.99

01:08:49.000 Nobody wants a shitty job! 0.99

01:08:51.000 And anyway, that's complicated because of immigration and trade and all the rest. 0.99

01:08:54.000 But you get what I'm saying.

01:08:55.000 Republicans gotta get wise to this stuff.

01:08:57.000 Let's just start giving out money.

01:08:59.000 If Trump said, this is gonna stay.

01:09:02.000 Imagine if Trump during the election said, you know what, this cash payment system works so well, we're going to keep it.

01:09:11.000 $1,000 a month.

01:09:12.000 This Andrew Yang guy, you know, imagine if he just said that's what it's going to be for the rest of the country for the rest of time.

01:09:19.000 $1,000 a month.

01:09:20.000 He would win.

01:09:21.000 It doesn't matter how he wins if he wins. 0.99

01:09:23.000 And he uses that to shut down the border, and uses it to end the trade abuses, and bring home the troops, and kill all the pedophiles running the government. 0.99

01:09:33.000 Would it matter? 0.98

01:09:34.000 Oh, but the debt, oh, but the debt went up!

01:09:37.000 Uh-oh, that number keeps 20 trillion dollars.

01:09:41.000 20, 30, 50 trillion, quadrillion.

01:09:44.000 It's all made up.

01:09:45.000 Doesn't, none of this matters anymore, and it's all fiction, right?

01:09:48.000 Unless you're looking at the interest payments, that's the only number you have to look at.

01:09:52.000 What's another trillion dollar deficit?

01:09:54.000 Does that even mean anything to anyone, anywhere, at all?

01:09:57.000 Is there ever going to be a consequence for that?

01:10:00.000 Trillion dollars for whatever the Democrats want, it's going to be like that anyway.

01:10:04.000 And maybe the thing that we can learn from Yang, ultimately,

01:10:08.000 All of that aside, what we can learn from Yang, and this is what I said last year.

01:10:12.000 Everybody said, oh, Nick is a Chinese agent because he's promoting Yang.

01:10:16.000 Nick is being paid to promote Yang.

01:10:18.000 No.

01:10:19.000 What I said last year, and I'm a genius, totally vindicated, so true, what Yang proved is help your people.

01:10:26.000 Pay your people $1,000.

01:10:28.000 And moreover, what I said about Andrew Yang was this. 1.00

01:10:32.000 I said, the country's fucked. 0.99

01:10:34.000 The rules don't matter. 1.00

01:10:36.000 You might as well collect a paycheck.

01:10:38.000 We have to take that attitude, but with Trump and with the Republican Party.

01:10:42.000 We have to have almost the same sort of, I don't want to say apathy, but the same idea of resigning ourselves to the fact that there will be pain no matter what, but then using it to our advantage.

01:10:55.000 You know, because traditionally people would say, don't give cash payments to Americans.

01:11:01.000 How much would that cost?

01:11:03.000 Which is, I mean, that's like a sound argument.

01:11:05.000 In a vacuum it makes sense.

01:11:07.000 The government should run a balanced budget.

01:11:09.000 And eventually the debt will become a problem because you'll have so much interest that so much of government revenue will just go towards the interest to service the debt.

01:11:16.000 So I understand that.

01:11:17.000 And then it's hard to have a discretionary budget for a military and other things.

01:11:21.000 It is going to be a problem.

01:11:23.000 But, um...

01:11:25.000 In any case, that logic makes sense in a vacuum.

01:11:28.000 But we don't live in a vacuum.

01:11:30.000 We live in the real world.

01:11:31.000 And it's not about what is optimal or the best or ideal.

01:11:35.000 It's about all things considered.

01:11:38.000 And all things considered, that number is going to go up no matter what.

01:11:42.000 The debt's not coming down any time soon.

01:11:44.000 The budget's not going to be balanced any time soon.

01:11:46.000 The only people that care about balancing the budget are Republicans, and if they don't get their act together, they'll never win an election again.

01:11:52.000 They may never win an election again, even if they get their act together.

01:11:56.000 So if the number's gonna go up, if the debt's gonna go up, the deficit's gonna go up, and all this financial stuff is unsustainable and set to ruin no matter who's in charge,

01:12:05.000 We might as well be in charge, and we might as well be the ones that are spending the money, and we might as well be spending the money on our own people, and we might as well be spending the money on our own people to win elections so that we could do other things in the meantime, like shut down the border, shut down trade, and bring home the troops, and an assortment of other things, right?

01:12:23.000 That's the way that we have to think, not in terms of, well, that, that would just never fly.

01:12:28.000 It really is like a white person's mentality.

01:12:30.000 White people think like, 0.83

01:12:32.000 White people, right? 0.91

01:12:33.000 And I, you know, maybe that's gonna sound politically incorrect, but it's true.

01:12:37.000 White people follow the rules. 0.99

01:12:38.000 White people will, you know, they play by the rules, they're considerate.

01:12:44.000 I mean, generally speaking, this is how we operate.

01:12:47.000 We don't take advantage, you know?

01:12:50.000 We are the kinds of people that if a coupon is expired, we won't use it.

01:12:53.000 We're the kind of people that if the store closes at 10 o'clock out of consideration, we won't go in at 9.30 p.m., right?

01:13:00.000 Things like this.

01:13:01.000 We play by the rules.

01:13:03.000 We don't take advantage because we understand that if everybody plays by the rules, then that is how you have an orderly society.

01:13:09.000 We don't live in a world where that's the case.

01:13:11.000 That kind of mentality only works if it's all or nothing.

01:13:15.000 But if people stop playing by the rules, and we're playing by the rules, well we just lose!

01:13:21.000 You know, if they're cutting in line, and they're line cutting, and they're taking with both hands, well what's going to happen is we're going to be last in line and there's none going to be left for us.

01:13:29.000 That doesn't work!

01:13:30.000 And that's what they're telling us we should do.

01:13:32.000 That is what we should have for ourselves.

01:13:35.000 Is we should just manage our expectations and, oh well, if you're a law-abiding guy and you want to do the right thing, well, it's just gonna be bad for you.

01:13:42.000 You're gonna be middle class and you're gonna be the only one paying income tax and the only one working.

01:13:46.000 Meanwhile, all these other people are freeloaders, right?

01:13:49.000 We have to change that mentality and adopt, you know, almost like a, I don't want to say it, but we have to adopt a different mentality and say, you know what?

01:14:00.000 If we're not playing by the rules, we'll cheat too and we'll be the best cheaters out there.

01:14:04.000 We're going to cheat and we're going to lie and we'll be populists and we'll be big government and we'll give handouts and we'll be the worst politicians you've ever seen, but we'll win and we'll get what we want.

01:14:14.000 And what we want is to return to an orderly society.

01:14:16.000 So that's one of these things where

01:14:19.000 Sometimes to make an omelet you gotta break some eggs.

01:14:21.000 That's that's the way we have to think about it.

01:14:23.000 So anyway, that's like a huge detour I'm I'm not even done with this article and I just went through this whole thing, but it's important I but I hope you find that insightful.

01:14:33.000 I had a seize on that and you know This is what I'm thinking I mean I read this article in an instant that all kind of just like yep, but I had to you know sort of elaborate that out and

01:14:44.000 Anyway, so we're getting these cash payments, but back to the coronavirus.

01:14:51.000 That's insightful about right and left-wing politics, the country, all that stuff.

01:14:55.000 It's just all, that's all very important.

01:14:59.000 So that's one part of the trillion dollar package.

01:15:02.000 There's going to be $850 billion stimulus package.

01:15:09.000 Where did I even leave off?

01:15:11.000 Yeah, so here we go.

01:15:12.000 Yeah, $250 billion out of the $850 billion will be sending checks to Americans.

01:15:18.000 You're also going to have other things, you know, $600 billion more and that's for bailouts largely and other things.

01:15:25.000 They want $50 billion for the airlines and they'll, I'm sure, be doing bailouts for hotels and cruise ships.

01:15:33.000 Things like that.

01:15:34.000 So that's a big part of it.

01:15:35.000 But overall we've got a fiscal stimulus that will include cash payments and also deferring income tax payments by 90 days is the other part of it.

01:15:46.000 There's another part of this article from New York Times that says there were signs of support in Congress for the idea of sending direct payments to ordinary people.

01:15:55.000 A group of Senate Democrats led by Michael Bennett, Cory Booker, and Sherrod Brown

01:16:01.000 Excuse me.

01:16:01.000 Had earlier proposed legislation to send as much as $4,500 to nearly every adult and child in the U.S.

01:16:09.000 this year as part of a sustained government income support program.

01:16:12.000 I better have a child quick. 1.00

01:16:15.000 I better get married and have a kid.

01:16:16.000 The way I look at it, that's another nine grand, right?

01:16:19.000 $4,500 for every man, woman, and child.

01:16:24.000 I better find a wife and pop out a kid. 0.99

01:16:26.000 What does that take?

01:16:27.000 Nine months?

01:16:28.000 How many months are left in the year?

01:16:30.000 I don't know if I'll have time, right?

01:16:32.000 Barely.

01:16:32.000 I gotta do it tomorrow.

01:16:33.000 I gotta have a wife and make her pregnant because then I'm getting her $4,500. 1.00

01:16:38.000 I'm getting the kids $4,500.

01:16:40.000 I'm gonna collect mine.

01:16:44.000 That's the kind of mentality.

01:16:46.000 Not necessarily exactly like that, but you know what I'm saying.

01:16:50.000 Normally I'm looking at a wife like, oh, I gotta pay for a wedding, I gotta pay for a wedding ring, and I gotta take her out to eat, and it's the anniversary, and birthday presents, and it's a house, and it's shoes, and a purse, and it's... 1.00

01:17:06.000 Makeup and lipstick and jewelry and a vacation and you know so maybe I'll break even if I act fast maybe I'll break even maybe I wait a little bit longer and it's more maybe in five years it'll be a $10,000 per person and I'll break even you know I will do a wedding it'll cost $10,000 that's coming out of her check and we have the baby the baby shower and all that's coming out of the baby's check

01:17:36.000 And that's the way we're...that's the way...it's printing money.

01:17:39.000 Printing money is as simple as printing babies.

01:17:42.000 But anyway, so, I'm being funny, but that's the cash payment situation.

01:17:46.000 It's a great idea.

01:17:47.000 That's the best way we could do it.

01:17:49.000 That's the only relief that makes sense right now.

01:17:52.000 And that the Trump administration is taking it seriously shows that this is a very competent and effective response.

01:18:00.000 So that's the fiscal stimulus.

01:18:01.000 We can expect that soon.

01:18:03.000 It's working its way through the Congress.

01:18:04.000 You've got negotiation now between Mitch McConnell, the Senate Majority Leader, and Nancy Pelosi, the House Speaker.

01:18:12.000 They're working out a few phases.

01:18:14.000 Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3 stimulus packages.

01:18:18.000 And they're working out what's going to be in each one.

01:18:20.000 The total package, to me, seems like what it will include overall is paid sick leave,

01:18:27.000 The cash payments bailouts for these industries that are most affected maybe banks energy airlines hotel cruise line and it's going to be this deferred tax and maybe the payroll tax will come anyway even if it's delayed maybe that'll come anyway so that is oh and the

01:18:45.000 50 billion dollars in small business loans which are interest-free that that will come as well so to me that's like a big picture of what will come in the fiscal package in three phases probably within the next two weeks or so but it's being negotiated and worked on so we'll keep an eye on that very good very competent seems to me to be where we need to be going

01:19:05.000 Because the economy won't get better until people go back to work.

01:19:08.000 It's an extraordinary and unprecedented crisis.

01:19:13.000 And it's not just about the numbers, it's about the kind of crisis.

01:19:16.000 You know, people are comparing it to 2008, but as I said, it's not 2008, and it's not 1987, and it's not 1929.

01:19:24.000 This is driven by real, like a real world, just total shock to the system that people are not going out and they're not going to go out for a long time.

01:19:34.000 In the meantime, you got to keep it afloat and we have to burn a little bit of the wealth, got to burn a little bit of the earnings and the fruits of economic growth from the past four years to keep everything afloat and keep everybody in stasis basically while we ride this out.

01:19:47.000 So I think that's the way to go.

01:19:49.000 But that's the stimulus.

01:19:50.000 We're going to move on and talk about... We're not going to have time to talk about China.

01:19:55.000 I want to talk about lockdown briefly, then we'll get to our Super Chats.

01:19:59.000 And I said this yesterday.

01:20:01.000 So yesterday, San Francisco put the whole city on lockdown.

01:20:05.000 Well, that's not the right word.

01:20:07.000 You've got shelter-in-place and lockdown, and they're two different things.

01:20:11.000 Shelter-in-place means you're advised not to leave your house unless it's essential.

01:20:17.000 Lockdown is you're required to get permission to leave your house.

01:20:20.000 So, San Francisco, in Italy, they've got lockdown.

01:20:24.000 In San Francisco, they've got shelter-in-place.

01:20:26.000 That was yesterday.

01:20:28.000 Six counties in San Francisco and Berkeley advise their residents to shelter-in-place, meaning don't leave the house for any reason unless it's essential.

01:20:36.000 It's an emergency of some kind, but otherwise you should stay home.

01:20:40.000 And I said yesterday that that's going to come in every major city probably within the next week or two.

01:20:45.000 And today we are hearing that New York City is considering this.

01:20:48.000 Mayor Bill de Blasio will make a decision in the next 24 to 48 hours as to whether or not he's going to advise the whole New York City to shelter in place.

01:20:58.000 Because New York City has the worst outbreak by far.

01:21:02.000 And they got to get it under control.

01:21:04.000 And I told you this was going to be the direction.

01:21:06.000 Just like in Italy. 0.55

01:21:08.000 Italy did the bars and restaurants, and then all businesses, and then it was lockdown.

01:21:13.000 And that's what's going to happen here.

01:21:15.000 It starts with the schools and the colleges and the bars and the restaurants, and then it's going to be all businesses, and then it's going to be shelter in place, and then it's going to be lockdown.

01:21:24.000 And people have to make the proper preparations for weeks for if that's going to happen.

01:21:28.000 San Francisco is in shelter in place for three weeks.

01:21:32.000 Do you think you would be able to not leave your house for three weeks without running out of food, water, toilet paper, tissues, toothpaste, soap?

01:21:41.000 I mean the basics, the basic amenities.

01:21:43.000 Most people probably not.

01:21:45.000 Most people, you know, are stocking up every week or every other week.

01:21:49.000 And even if you stocked up for this extraordinary event, you probably stocked up for a couple weeks and that was last week, right?

01:21:55.000 to give you an idea they were told three weeks from today what if in the next two days New York City all of New York City is told you can't leave your house for two to three weeks advised what if they're told that they can't that's gonna get really hairy and that's we're talking about in the next week or so so stock market went up a little bit today and headlines are okay today

01:22:16.000 But the worst is yet to come, I will tell you.

01:22:19.000 As far as infections, as far as deaths goes, healthcare system being overwhelmed, bed shortages, healthcare supplies resources, death panels, lockdowns.

01:22:33.000 This is all in the future.

01:22:35.000 Has not happened yet.

01:22:36.000 Will happen imminently.

01:22:38.000 So I did just want to touch on that briefly.

01:22:40.000 I have to move on to the super chats but just want to point out that New York City, I think the reason they're saying this is because they're priming the pump here.

01:22:48.000 They're telling everybody we're gonna make a decision in the next 48 hours because they know if they tell people that it's like a warning and people are gonna go out and prepare and then in two days maybe they're gonna tell people in three days we're gonna shelter in place and then you know panic is gonna happen and

01:23:03.000 There's going to be a bum rush for the stores and for supplies and shortages and chaos and violence, but then there will be a shelter-in-place.

01:23:10.000 And I'm sure after the shelter-in-place, probably a lockdown.

01:23:13.000 And that is maybe the worst that it's going to get.

01:23:17.000 But that, I think, is on the horizon for every major metropolitan area.

01:23:21.000 LA, San Francisco, New York City, Chicago, Atlanta.

01:23:25.000 You know, probably all of them, I would imagine.

01:23:28.000 And you know maybe not all of them maybe if there's not a severe outbreak in some of these cities They won't go that far, but I don't think it is outside of the I think it is much more likely than not that we will end up like Italy and probably worse than Italy because about Italy they've got a top-notch health care system and They also are not as You know

01:23:52.000 They don't have the same public-private health care scheme.

01:23:55.000 They also don't have the disunity that we have in America.

01:23:58.000 Italy still is a country, basically.

01:23:59.000 We are not.

01:24:01.000 So that's going to cause problems.

01:24:03.000 And also the fact that we didn't get our act together until this week, if we even have gotten our act together.

01:24:07.000 So I think it's going to get really, really bad here.

01:24:10.000 The response from the government and also the

01:24:13.000 The spread of the disease and the deaths and the health care system.

01:24:16.000 So that's we have to look forward to it's not going to be pretty so be prepared if you're not prepared yet.

01:24:23.000 Don't feel bad.

01:24:24.000 I mean, you should feel bad, but it's never too late.

01:24:26.000 It's not going to be too late until they lock down.

01:24:29.000 Go out.

01:24:29.000 Get your supplies.

01:24:31.000 Go early.

01:24:31.000 Go late.

01:24:32.000 You know, go to a few different stores.

01:24:35.000 See what it looks like for online pickup services or Amazon.

01:24:39.000 But, you know, the time is now to prepare because if that happens in your city, and maybe it doesn't, but maybe it does, you want to be prepared.

01:24:47.000 But that's the lockdown, that's coronavirus.

01:24:49.000 We're gonna move on to the Super Chats and I want to see what you guys are saying about all this.

01:24:54.000 It's, uh, it's getting hairy out there.

01:24:57.000 We are about to enter the eye of the storm with coronavirus.

01:25:00.000 If you think it's bad now, give it a week.

01:25:03.000 Give it a week, give it two weeks.

01:25:04.000 You'll see, you'll see what I've been thinking about for the past few months.

01:25:08.000 But we're gonna move on and look at our Super Chats.

01:25:11.000 We'll see what you guys are saying about all of this.

01:25:15.000 Let's see.

01:25:16.000 Hotdog says, YouTube, we hold these trues.

01:25:19.000 Alan Keys, CPAC 2019.

01:25:23.000 Okay, that is, I believe, the title of a YouTube video.

01:25:26.000 Thank you for sharing.

01:25:28.000 Patman says, Dad might have it.

01:25:30.000 I hate... Okay, well, I can't read that.

01:25:32.000 But, yeah, sorry to hear that, buddy.

01:25:34.000 Hope your dad's okay.

01:25:35.000 Yeah.

01:25:37.000 DelayedPatriots says, Nick, spell iCup.

01:25:40.000 Okay.

01:25:41.000 DelayedPatriots says, where do you get your intro music from?

01:25:45.000 My intro music was made for this show by a friend of mine from college, and the links are in the description of this stream.

01:25:54.000 So if you go to DLive, if you go to the About section, you can see the lobby music links on SoundCloud.

01:26:07.000 A buddy of mine from college made all the music.

01:26:09.000 The lobby music, the intro music, that's all my guy.

01:26:14.000 Let's see.

01:26:15.000 We've got Sarik who says ever own any Sony handhelds PS Vita master race I actually did have a PS Vita and I totally regret it 0.91

01:26:26.000 Yeah, that came out of, like, middle school.

01:26:28.000 And I remember I just had, like, a few hundred bucks for my birthday, and, uh, what I would always do is just spend it on video games, and I figured, oh, like, another console looks cool.

01:26:37.000 I think I saw them do the expo for the PS Vita, like, E3 or something, and it was so, it was, like, touchscreens at that time was not really a thing yet.

01:26:47.000 I mean, you had your iTouch, but that was really it.

01:26:50.000 Nintendo DS had a touchscreen, but it was very, you know, that was very early touchscreen technology.

01:26:56.000 So the PS Vita is handheld it had like a sensor on the back and a touchscreen and it was just like really cool I had a camera internet connection.

01:27:05.000 This was like a next-level handheld gaming device.

01:27:09.000 So I got one and it was like 250 bucks or 300 bucks and that was like all my birthday money at the time and I literally never bought a game for it.

01:27:19.000 Bought it.

01:27:20.000 No, I'm sorry.

01:27:21.000 I bought one game.

01:27:22.000 I bought Mod Nation Racing.

01:27:25.000 That was the only game I had for it.

01:27:26.000 I had a few demos, but that was about it.

01:27:30.000 Mod Nation Racing, a few demos for a few different games.

01:27:34.000 And yeah, I really never played it, never really used it.

01:27:39.000 Because it wasn't a good system.

01:27:41.000 Ergonomically, it was horrible.

01:27:42.000 It was so uncomfortable to hold and play, and it wasn't even that great.

01:27:47.000 It was hardly that much better than, like, Nintendo DS, honestly.

01:27:52.000 I expected it to be like a PlayStation 2 in your hand, and it wasn't.

01:27:56.000 I thought you could use it as a controller, but you couldn't, and for a PlayStation 3, and...

01:28:04.000 Internet connection sucked.

01:28:06.000 So I thought it was going to be this awesome device.

01:28:08.000 I ended up getting a few TV shows and I watched those on there.

01:28:12.000 Bought a couple episodes of 30 Rock for that.

01:28:15.000 And yeah, I had Mod Nation Racing and that was it.

01:28:18.000 So big waste of money.

01:28:19.000 No, not the Master Race at all.

01:28:22.000 My Nintendo DS and my DSi.

01:28:24.000 Those were, those were the handhelds.

01:28:27.000 Countless hours on the DS, the DSi.

01:28:30.000 I still have my DSi.

01:28:32.000 Good stuff.

01:28:34.000 I don't know.

01:28:37.000 I don't know.

01:28:40.000 That's a good question.

01:28:41.000 What did he mean by this?

01:28:42.000 What's his endgame?

01:28:47.000 Thanks, buddy.

01:28:47.000 It's true.

01:28:48.000 America first is inevitable. 0.69

01:28:49.000 Even in times of crisis.

01:28:51.000 Maybe especially in times of crisis, right?

01:28:55.000 But thanks buddy, I appreciate it.

01:28:57.000 It's true, we are inevitable.

01:28:59.000 Interdimensional says, is FF7 remake really good?

01:29:04.000 Should buy Pony Station 4?

01:29:07.000 I don't know what any of that means.

01:29:09.000 King Hippo says, start emptying bank accounts before they close slash crash?

01:29:16.000 Um, I wouldn't.

01:29:17.000 I'm not doing that.

01:29:19.000 There always is a risk that banks will fail, but I think after 2008 that probably won't happen.

01:29:24.000 And if they do, you have FDIC.

01:29:27.000 So unless you have more than a quarter of a million dollars in a bank, then...

01:29:33.000 It's insured so even if you want people to get it from the bank if the bank fails the federal government will give it to you and the reason it's there is not because the government wants to give out a quarter million dollars to everybody you're like up to I should say up to a quarter million dollars but because then that gives people confidence that they don't withdraw their money at times like this and cause banks to fail because you understand that

01:29:54.000 If there's a run on the banks this just exacerbates the problem and then then you know even if the bank might have been solvent if people panic and start pulling out their assets then the bank will fail and if a bank fails then other banks fail and then the whole system goes goes bottom up so that's why they they are ensuring it is to you know inspire confidence and even if you have more than a quarter of a million dollars you put

01:30:19.000 You open up different bank accounts at different banks, and FDIC insures each bank for up to a quarter of a million dollars.

01:30:27.000 So if you put, you know, a quarter million, and I don't know how many people are like this, if you have more than that, you know this, obviously, but if you have, you know, a quarter million at Chase, and at Bank of America, or at another bank, then, so I wouldn't do that.

01:30:40.000 I don't think that's wise.

01:30:42.000 Let's see.

01:30:44.000 TKY says, Nucky Fuentes.

01:30:47.000 Okay.

01:30:48.000 Jaden McNeil says, Dump Trick Assy. 1.00

01:30:51.000 That's very funny.

01:30:53.000 Very, very funny, Jaden.

01:30:55.000 No, thanks for the diamond, Jaden.

01:30:57.000 I'll have to pay it back.

01:30:58.000 I'll have to pay it back during your stream.

01:31:01.000 Dumptrick Assy, yes, the proverbial Dumptrick. 0.99

01:31:37.000 Glad you trust the plan.

01:31:39.000 That is so comfy.

01:31:41.000 Honestly, it actually hurts me that I'm allergic to my dog because I love my dog and I never thought I would be like that.

01:31:47.000 I wasn't like that.

01:31:48.000 I hated dogs for a long time.

01:32:02.000 I don't know.

01:32:14.000 I hate dogs.

01:32:36.000 How to interact with them.

01:32:37.000 Maybe that's just me, but I feel like generally, until you have a dog, you don't really know, like... Because I just saw dogs as very volatile and unpredictable, and they'll, like, chew your stuff and bite you and whatever, and I was just, like, didn't want to touch them.

01:32:51.000 Granted, I was, like, a young kid.

01:32:52.000 I was, like, five, but, um... You know, I stopped hating dogs when I got a little older and, you know...

01:32:59.000 But I didn't then I got my dog and I like love my dog.

01:33:03.000 I didn't think I would but I do He's great.

01:33:06.000 And I it sucks that I'm allergic to him because I love hanging out with him I love just hanging out on the couch and you know, you know, we take a nap or whatever and You know, he's a fun.

01:33:17.000 He's a great companion dogs are truly a great companion so But I'm allergic so it makes it tough

01:33:26.000 But that sounds very comfy, hanging out with the dog, watching America First.

01:33:29.000 You really, really do love, really gotta love the dog.

01:33:32.000 I'm a big dog respecter.

01:33:34.000 And I'm not like a weirdo about it, but I do just love dogs now.

01:33:38.000 Uh, heavy metal fans.

01:33:39.000 It's R.I.P.

01:33:40.000 Edward Limonov, Nosbol gang.

01:33:42.000 I don't know who that is.

01:33:44.000 Oh, didn't he found the Nosbol party in Russia?

01:33:46.000 That, that's why that rings a bell.

01:33:49.000 Yeah, I think he actually started the actual Nosbol party in Russia, right?

01:33:54.000 Yeah.

01:33:58.000 Yeah, that sounds right to me.

01:34:02.000 Anyway, where was I?

01:34:03.000 Minnesota Groy versus what are you going to do with your Trump bucks, Nick?

01:34:06.000 Maybe I'll buy VR.

01:34:08.000 Maybe I'll finally buy that VR setup.

01:34:12.000 And I'll just immerse myself completely.

01:34:14.000 Never leave the house.

01:34:15.000 I'll be in a virtual universe.

01:34:19.000 This is what must be done.

01:34:20.000 This is what I have to do.

01:34:21.000 This is the only way I can cope.

01:34:23.000 This is the only way I can cope!

01:34:25.000 Get a VR setup and play Superhot or Fallout 4 in VR Minecraft.

01:34:32.000 Just get a $1,000 VR rig.

01:34:33.000 $2,000 VR rig, you know, have the motion detectors mounted on the ceiling and I'll have the wireless pack with the

01:34:44.000 Oculus Rift and I'll buy you know upgrades for the computer so it can handle it and I'll buy controllers But I've done a lot of research this by the whole rig, you know and Yeah, I'll never have to leave never forget it leaving the house.

01:35:01.000 I'll never have to leave my own mind my own cyber universe

01:35:06.000 Right, and the human instrumentality project will be complete.

01:35:12.000 Let's see.

01:35:12.000 Big Max says, when is the Bryson Gray Unite the Right cookout?

01:35:17.000 Soon!

01:35:17.000 I like Bryson Gray, man.

01:35:19.000 I like that guy.

01:35:21.000 And, you know, we... it's so funny.

01:35:23.000 We didn't get along at first because he, like, called me a racist or whatever and I blocked him.

01:35:27.000 But literally all it took is we hung out at Trump Hotel and in Harry's.

01:35:32.000 During AFPAC weekend.

01:35:35.000 And we just, you know, he's like, ah, yo, what's up?

01:35:37.000 You blocked me on Twitter.

01:35:38.000 And I was like, oh, well, you probably call me a racist, you know, whatever it was.

01:35:42.000 But we squashed it and we had a conversation.

01:35:44.000 I had him on a stream this weekend.

01:35:46.000 We played Fortnite and we just talked. 0.97

01:35:49.000 We just talked, you know, without all the nonsense, without the, you know, you're a Nazi. 0.98

01:35:53.000 You said this one time and that means you're a bad person. 0.92

01:35:56.000 We just talked about what we're about.

01:35:58.000 And the guy's a Christian.

01:36:00.000 The guy's conservative.

01:36:02.000 You know, he's celibate, saving himself for marriage now, and, you know, he's against feminism, and he's against homosexuality and abortion, and he's pro-gun, and, you know, he's a hardcore Christian, loves America.

01:36:17.000 Hey, what's not to like, right?

01:36:19.000 So I think he's a cool guy.

01:36:21.000 We're good to go!

01:36:36.000 Yeah, he's a totally nice guy.

01:36:38.000 I got a weird impression of him, you know.

01:36:41.000 Maybe just online you get a different impression, but talking to him, he was just a totally nice, friendly... I mean, who can hate that guy?

01:36:48.000 Who can not like that guy?

01:36:49.000 You know, he was fun.

01:36:51.000 And, you know, we've been discussing politics and all that, and we're both against the cancel culture and the con ink.

01:36:59.000 Well, he's... I mean, he's in Turning Point, but I think we both agree that censorship stuff is wrong, and...

01:37:05.000 Gatekeeping is no good.

01:37:06.000 So I think he's great.

01:37:10.000 I think we got to have that cookout.

01:37:12.000 We'll have the barbecue soon.

01:37:13.000 Groyper turning point barbecue imminent.

01:37:17.000 And maybe Charlie Kirk won't come, but that's okay.

01:37:19.000 Everybody that's a free thinker will come.

01:37:21.000 Everybody that loves God and loves America and loves borders and all that, they will come together.

01:37:27.000 Heavy metal fans, is Alexander Dugin based?

01:37:31.000 Depends on what you mean by based.

01:37:34.000 I would say he's based, but I mean, Alexander Dugin is Russian.

01:37:37.000 And Alexander Dugin loves Russia.

01:37:39.000 And that's great, but I love America.

01:37:42.000 Reptard says, all must watch Darby O'Grill and Little People Today.

01:37:47.000 I don't know what that is.

01:37:49.000 YouMarty says, DumpTrick Assy and his very impressive posterior. 1.00

01:37:54.000 RussianBot says, DumpTrick Assy. 1.00

01:37:57.000 BigMac says, DumpTrick Assy, DumpTrick Assy, DumpTrick Assy, okay? 0.94

01:38:04.000 So we've got a lot of that going on.

01:38:08.000 No comment.

01:38:39.000 No, it's all, it's all just fun and games.

01:38:41.000 We're all just having fun.

01:38:43.000 Polish American says, Hey Nick, very fresh tie playing Call of Duty Black Ops 2 Zombies.

01:38:48.000 Well, thanks.

01:38:49.000 Glad you like the tie.

01:38:50.000 It's got, um, I don't know if you can see, but it's got the White House and the Twitter bird.

01:38:58.000 Vineyard Vines tie.

01:38:59.000 I've been wearing this tie for like years.

01:39:02.000 But hey, sounds fun.

01:39:03.000 I love Black Ops 2 zombies.

01:39:06.000 Nicker Nash says, making some good gains on inverse ETFs.

01:39:10.000 Going to share the love of my favorite Nicker.

01:39:11.000 I hope you do!

01:39:13.000 If you, hey, hey, listen.

01:39:15.000 I should have said this earlier.

01:39:16.000 Hey! 0.99

01:39:18.000 Stop talking.

01:39:19.000 Listen to me.

01:39:20.000 If you get your Trump bucks, you gotta pay some to me.

01:39:23.000 I'm just telling you right now, that if everybody gets a $4,500 check, and I know maybe some people need it more than others, but I'm gonna expect, I expect some ninjaginis, alright?

01:39:34.000 You gotta take care of me.

01:39:36.000 I take care of you and it's only fair and I gotta take care of me.

01:39:39.000 So I hope all these people that are cashing in on the stock market and all the people that are cashing in on the Trump bucks, if you get sent a check for $1,000, send me a $10 bill.

01:39:51.000 And I'm not asking, I'm telling you.

01:39:53.000 I'm not asking for money.

01:39:54.000 I'm saying my expectation is that the Trump stimulus should be a stimulus for me too.

01:40:00.000 America first stimulus.

01:40:01.000 Let's get it going.

01:40:02.000 There's no excuses.

01:40:04.000 If you're a child or a man or a woman in America, you're going to be getting $2,000 and you can forgo a few water bottles to support your guy.

01:40:14.000 I'm just telling you straight up.

01:40:18.000 And I would like to say I'm kidding, but I'm really not.

01:40:21.000 But I'm really not.

01:40:22.000 Let's make it.

01:40:23.000 Hey, we can make it happen together.

01:40:25.000 We can stand together.

01:40:28.000 And when you all get paid money, you can pay a little bit of it to me.

01:40:32.000 And if we all work together, we can make me get a stimulus.

01:40:39.000 And that will be good.

01:40:40.000 And that will be a win.

01:40:42.000 And that will be a huge win.

01:40:45.000 That'll be a huge win for the movement.

01:40:48.000 No, I am joking a little bit, but hey, that's just one way that you can spend your Trump bucks, spread the love around, you can spread the wealth around a little bit, kick a little bit up to the boss of the family, your favorite knicker.

01:41:05.000 I'm gonna kick some money around, I'm gonna get my check, and I'll throw a little, I'm gonna do a little some handouts, you know?

01:41:14.000 We'll do a money trade.

01:41:15.000 A money exchange.

01:41:28.000 We'll see.

01:41:29.000 When the checks start coming in, that's when we'll know.

01:41:32.000 BasedGroper says, if people think division and racial tensions were bad the past few years, wait till we're into depression.

01:41:38.000 Yeah, for real.

01:41:39.000 And that's gonna be when it kicks off.

01:41:41.000 And I would talk a lot about that, but it's already 930 almost.

01:41:48.000 And I talked a lot about similar things on Telegram, and maybe I'll cover that later this week.

01:41:52.000 But that's a good note.

01:41:54.000 Thanks for the Ninjagini.

01:41:56.000 Lord Marilyn says, spending my Trump bucks on more Super Chats.

01:42:00.000 Alright!

01:42:01.000 That's the way it goes.

01:42:02.000 Think of it.

01:42:03.000 If everybody gives me one dollar, think of the potential.

01:42:06.000 You take one out of a thousand dollars, you give it to me.

01:42:08.000 Think of the potential there.

01:42:10.000 Think of the potential for giving me money.

01:42:12.000 It's incredible.

01:42:13.000 The potential for that.

01:42:15.000 What a huge win for everyone.

01:42:20.000 I am joking a little bit.

01:42:21.000 Keep your money, keep your money.

01:42:23.000 I'm actually, I would actually say the opposite.

01:42:26.000 If I'm gonna be unironic for a second, and I do say this occasionally for young people generally, but overall it's not gonna be wise for me to say this, but generally, you know, save your money.

01:42:38.000 If you need your money, save your money.

01:42:42.000 And I'm saying that and I'm joking, but it is true. 1.00

01:42:45.000 These times are going to be tough for a lot of people.

01:42:46.000 We don't know how long they're going to be tough for.

01:42:48.000 So, you know, we're looking at discretionary funds.

01:42:52.000 Probably the first thing that could go is a super chat.

01:42:54.000 So you're not going to hurt my feelings.

01:42:56.000 If I look at the numbers this month and they're not great, I'm not going to, that's not going to kill me.

01:43:01.000 That's not going to hurt me.

01:43:02.000 So, you know, take care of yourself first.

01:43:04.000 If I'm going to be, if I'm going to be good guy Nick for a minute, if I'm going to break my arm,

01:43:09.000 Patting myself on the back for being such a good person.

01:43:11.000 I'm gonna tell you, you know, probably you need it more than me at this point.

01:43:16.000 I'm a streamer.

01:43:17.000 I'll be alright.

01:43:18.000 I don't even, you know, I live at home.

01:43:19.000 So, so take care of your family first.

01:43:22.000 And then, and then if there's, hey, but if there's a little bit left over from the Trump bucks, you know who to kick it up to, right?

01:43:29.000 But let's see we've got Big Mac says guy in the sky greater than I in the sky Yeah, I like guy in the sky better.

01:43:36.000 That was initially what was more funny I in the sky was like just descriptive but guy in the sky is like a funny rhyme So yeah, I like I like guy in the sky, but then again I in the sky is like the song and that's me and Jaden song now That's our song

01:43:53.000 Whenever Jaden hears Eye in the Sky by Alan Parsons, he will think of me.

01:43:59.000 He will think of playing Call of Duty, me playing and flying the helicopter in Call of Duty.

01:44:06.000 And, you know, that's just, you know, guy in the sky, eye in the sky.

01:44:10.000 They're both critical.

01:44:11.000 Blanky Mode says, Eustace Mullins said the truth about the Fed?

01:44:15.000 I don't know what Eustace Mullins said about the Fed.

01:44:19.000 Fearless Leader says Trump Bucks.

01:44:20.000 Yeah, I'm waiting for my Trump Bucks.

01:44:25.000 Nick Ranej says going to blow on my Corona Bucks on Super Chats.

01:44:29.000 Hey, great to hear it.

01:44:30.000 I hope that happens.

01:44:32.000 TKY says if you give the poor money, they will spend it.

01:44:35.000 Yeah.

01:44:36.000 Yeah, that's what people don't realize is poor people generally are poor because they just spend their money, you know?

01:44:43.000 Why are some people poor and some people rich?

01:44:46.000 Well, some people get their money and then they give it away, you know?

01:44:49.000 And the people that just simply give away all their money are the people that don't have a lot of it.

01:44:53.000 And generally what you find is that poor people, and it's not everyone, and not everyone that's poor is poor for this reason, but in a lot of cases poor people have the propensity

01:45:04.000 We're good to go.

01:45:28.000 When you're looking at inflation, that's still pretty low.

01:45:31.000 $10 an hour, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.

01:45:35.000 And, um, I took all that money and saved it.

01:45:38.000 And obviously I was doing that when I was 18, 19, but, um, I knew people that were working the same job as me who were like 20, 22, whatever.

01:45:48.000 And they would take their paycheck and, you know, they, they had expenses, but then they would take whatever was left over and they would just spend it.

01:45:54.000 You know, I, I worked with a guy in the warehouse and every day he would buy lunch and he would buy cigarettes at lunch.

01:45:59.000 And it's like, well, why do you think, what do you think you're going to do, man?

01:46:03.000 I know we're not all going to be rich, but what kind of way is that to live?

01:46:08.000 That you make $80 a day before taxes, and you spend maybe $20 a day on eating out and then cigarettes, and then you blow how much of that over the weekend on alcohol, on booze, and on whatever else.

01:46:24.000 What are you doing?

01:46:26.000 That's just what you spend for recreation.

01:46:28.000 So poor people, yeah, a lot of people think that, oh, poor people are poor because they're unlucky.

01:46:32.000 Well, no, not everybody, not everybody can like have money because to have money, you have to actively... Ayn Rand is right about that.

01:46:40.000 To have money, to keep money, you have to sort of be, you have to master it in a certain way. 0.99

01:46:45.000 And it's not rocket science, but you just can't be an idiot about it. 0.99

01:46:50.000 My father would always say, a fool and his money are soon parted. 1.00

01:46:54.000 And, you know, many people are like this. 1.00

01:46:56.000 A lot of poor people are.

01:46:58.000 You know, they just, that's just how they are.

01:47:02.000 And that's a red pill.

01:47:03.000 That's a red pill for you.

01:47:05.000 Let's see.

01:47:07.000 Marfugle says, support free speech.

01:47:09.000 Yes, I agree.

01:47:11.000 Monkey Snakes says, careful with upgrading.

01:47:13.000 Lots of stuff out of stock.

01:47:16.000 Yeah, well, I'll worry about that.

01:47:17.000 I'm working on it.

01:47:19.000 Polish careful on upgrading you can't buy some things.

01:47:22.000 Oh, I'll be careful Polish American says I will willingly sign myself up as a drone pilot against China Okay, disavow Nick Rene says my dad is still in just the flu bro mode Yeah, my father I think all everyone over the age of 50 is in some degree in that mentality you know my dad's like going to work and like I 0.99

01:47:46.000 I don't know.

01:47:59.000 I know, it wasn't this bad weeks ago, but you're home, and like, then he goes to work, and then it's like, well, maybe you're not sick from when you're out of town, but now you're gonna be sick from all the people that you're at work with, and if they have it, well, now you're bringing it home.

01:48:11.000 Now my house is a petri dish.

01:48:13.000 I'm literally, like, in my office.

01:48:15.000 I'm bunkered in, within the house, in the studio.

01:48:19.000 And, uh, you know, every time I leave the studio, gotta go glasses, mask, glove, disinfect everything at night and in the morning.

01:48:28.000 So yeah, nobody's taking it seriously.

01:48:30.000 Josh says, secure the bag.

01:48:32.000 Yep.

01:48:33.000 Ben's funny hat says, chumps be stocking up on toilet paper and hand sanitizer while Chad's got the bottle caps ready. 0.92

01:48:40.000 I got the bottle caps, believe me, but thanks for the Ninjagini.

01:48:44.000 Yeah, so true.

01:48:46.000 That's not gonna mean much when we have the fallout economy, right?

01:48:52.000 How many caps you got?

01:48:53.000 No, I don't think that's true.

01:48:54.000 I don't know.

01:48:54.000 I think that this is different than a normal recession.

01:48:56.000 If it was a normal recession, I would say it would make it a lot harder, but I think that this is not normal, so...

01:49:16.000 I don't know how it will affect the election.

01:49:18.000 It depends on how severe it gets and the handling from the government.

01:49:22.000 And then we still have a general election that will, you know, people make up their minds based on debates and campaigning and all that, so.

01:49:29.000 It's highly contingent, but thanks for the Ninjagini.

01:49:32.000 Galaxy Brain says, which mood is more enjoyable, mask off or top down?

01:49:37.000 Definitely top down.

01:49:39.000 Because you gotta have, sometimes you gotta have the mask on.

01:49:41.000 And sometimes it feels good to have the mask on, so.

01:49:44.000 Top down.

01:49:45.000 Wind in your hair?

01:49:46.000 That's much better.

01:49:48.000 Josh says droplets incoming.

01:49:50.000 Yeah, dodge the droplets.

01:49:52.000 Obergroiper says not an optimal way to do it, but Corona Chan may achieve for us what was otherwise unachievable.

01:49:58.000 Yeah, very true.

01:49:59.000 Thanks for the Ninjagini.

01:50:01.000 Ramey says the SS Trump versus the Joe Pito.

01:50:05.000 Who will win?

01:50:05.000 The Trump.

01:50:07.000 GayCharliePerks says massive support for Fresno man killing

01:50:12.000 What is that?

01:50:13.000 YTS?

01:50:14.000 Thoughts?

01:50:15.000 I don't know what that is.

01:50:16.000 Racist incel says, remember when Kamala was the frontrunner?

01:50:19.000 LOL.

01:50:20.000 Kamala was the frontrunner for like two weeks in June.

01:50:23.000 So that's not, that's not really correct.

01:50:25.000 She was leading in the polls for two weeks. 0.51

01:50:27.000 I don't think anyone would describe her as a frontrunner.

01:50:31.000 Hammer says, race?

01:50:32.000 This decision was made months ago.

01:50:34.000 Okay, yeah, here we go.

01:50:36.000 Yeah, so true.

01:50:37.000 I don't know who that is.

01:50:38.000 Good!

01:50:38.000 Yeah, good.

01:50:39.000 Is it straight lines?

01:50:40.000 I hope so.

01:50:40.000 I didn't use a ruler or anything for a straight edge.

01:51:02.000 Delayed Patriot says, what are you going to use your Trump bucks for, King?

01:51:05.000 Mine are going to go towards a flight to Israel.

01:51:08.000 Ha ha ha ha.

01:51:09.000 Thanks for the funny, Ninja Genie.

01:51:11.000 Thanks for the funny Israel joke. 0.71

01:51:14.000 I'm going to spend mine, I don't know, I'm probably just going to save it, if I'm being honest.

01:51:18.000 I'm not the kind of person that gets $1,000 and then spends $1,000 or even $100.

01:51:23.000 I'm the kind of person that gets $1,000 and then I get a Big Mac and put the rest in the bank.

01:51:27.000 So that's probably what I'll do.

01:51:29.000 I'll probably order a pizza and then I will stash the rest.

01:51:33.000 Fearless leaders?

01:51:34.000 I'll probably buy a Nintendo Switch.

01:51:36.000 That's maybe the splurge.

01:51:37.000 If I'm going to splurge, I'll buy a Nintendo Switch and Animal Crossing is what I'm going to do.

01:51:42.000 I want to get the Animal Crossing Switch.

01:51:44.000 Fearless Leader says, mobile incinerators incoming.

01:51:47.000 Yeah, I don't know.

01:51:48.000 We'll see.

01:51:49.000 You know, it takes a long time to incinerate a body.

01:51:52.000 I don't think people realize that.

01:51:55.000 But it takes a long time to cremate a body.

01:51:57.000 A lot longer than you would think.

01:52:01.000 Dallas Gropers says, I was 8 when 9-11 happened.

01:52:03.000 Corona is simply bigger.

01:52:05.000 I think so, because it's nationwide and it's sustained.

01:52:07.000 So, it definitely is.

01:52:09.000 I don't know, but that's what I heard.

01:52:39.000 We have no way of knowing.

01:52:41.000 Spurts says Italian furbo mindset is what caused mass spread. 0.63

01:52:45.000 I don't know what furbo means.

01:52:47.000 King Alaric says, hey Nick, what am I now?

01:52:49.000 I don't know.

01:52:51.000 Fartsniff versus John F. Kennedy, imagine being named after an airport.

01:52:55.000 Ha! 0.89

01:52:56.000 That's funny.

01:52:57.000 Nickernace's thoughts on cryptids, Nick?

01:52:59.000 Any in Illinois?

01:53:00.000 Um, I think there is a, uh,

01:53:04.000 There is one in Illinois.

01:53:06.000 It's like a devil, something devil.

01:53:10.000 I believe in cryptids.

01:53:11.000 Mothman, skinwalkers, sasquatch, stuff like that that's out there. 0.95

01:53:19.000 Giant sea creatures.

01:53:21.000 It has to be out there.

01:53:22.000 It definitely is.

01:53:25.000 Especially in the ocean.

01:53:27.000 People don't even realize we don't know anything about the ocean.

01:53:30.000 That's that's a huge red pill.

01:53:32.000 People think we know so much more than we do.

01:53:35.000 The more I get older, the more I realize we don't know anything.

01:53:37.000 We can't do anything.

01:53:39.000 When I was a kid, I thought like humanity had conquered everything.

01:53:43.000 You could go anywhere, do anything, prevent any catastrophe.

01:53:47.000 It's not true.

01:53:49.000 You know, and we don't know anything about the ocean.

01:53:54.000 The ocean is completely unexplored.

01:53:56.000 The depths of the ocean, most of the open ocean, how do we know what's in there?

01:54:01.000 We don't even know a fraction of all the sea creatures that there are.

01:54:05.000 As many as we know, we don't know a fraction of all that there are.

01:54:09.000 So, you know, who knows what could be lurking in the depths of the ocean?

01:54:13.000 It's less explored than the moon.

01:54:17.000 So, could there be a Loch Ness Monster?

01:54:19.000 Could there be a Colossal Squid?

01:54:21.000 Could there be something ungodly, I don't know, Cthulhu, with non-Euclidean geometry in his kingdom?

01:54:29.000 I have no idea, this is all possible.

01:54:32.000 And especially like that Tasmanian Devil, stuff like that.

01:54:37.000 I don't know.

01:54:37.000 I mean, it could be real.

01:54:39.000 Could definitely be real.

01:54:41.000 I don't know.

01:54:42.000 I'm definitely... I don't know if I would say I believe in it, but I definitely think it's possible.

01:54:48.000 So...

01:54:51.000 Let's see.

01:54:51.000 I have no idea.

01:54:55.000 I'm not a doctor.

01:54:59.000 No, that's not really true.

01:55:03.000 It's just not the same thing at all.

01:55:05.000 I mean, sure, a lot of the problems from 08, like bubbles, yeah, you have bubbles all over the economy.

01:55:11.000 2008 was largely triggered by the housing bubble, but we have bubbles for everything. 0.99

01:55:16.000 So yeah, I mean, a lot of the problems we had in 2008 are bigger now, but what I'm trying to say is that the coronavirus that catalyzed this recession, it's just different than in 2008, and if you can't understand that, then you're dumb. 0.95

01:55:30.000 Fearless leader says cash handouts when no one is working equals inflation. 0.94

01:56:23.000 Well, that'll be good to know when I...

01:57:23.000 Glad I'm entertaining you in this time of crisis.

01:57:27.000 Blanky, I just read that, Black Phillips says, listen Jack, how do I open GDP?

01:57:34.000 Polish American says, Yo, big government rocks.

01:57:37.000 Thanks for the help, big guy.

01:57:39.000 We should unironically have a sticker that says, Big government rules.

01:57:43.000 Big gov rules, you know? 0.99

01:57:44.000 And globalism sucks. 1.00

01:57:47.000 Small government is gay. 1.00

01:57:49.000 That should be our sticker. 1.00

01:57:51.000 Small government is gay. 1.00

01:57:54.000 You know, free money now! 0.96

01:57:57.000 Winning at any cost!

01:58:09.000 Hey, thanks.

01:58:10.000 Thanks for the Ninjagini.

01:58:12.000 Delayed Patriot says, press B to pull bootstraps.

01:58:14.000 I'm pulling them up.

01:58:16.000 I'm pulling myself up.

01:58:19.000 Crisp Cream says, no more gives to other countries.

01:58:22.000 Use it on our people.

01:58:23.000 Easy.

01:58:25.000 Well, in fairness, we give $3.8 billion to Israel, the cash payments are going to cost $250 billion.

01:58:31.000 So it's not quite the same.

01:58:33.000 But yeah, with war, if you factor in war, the wars in the Middle East cost like $6 trillion.

01:58:38.000 So if you're using $250 billion as a $1,000 handout to everybody that needs it, then if you do the math, we could have given everybody $24,000 in cash.

01:58:49.000 Think about that.

01:58:50.000 If we didn't do the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, everyone could have gotten $24,000 in cash.

01:58:56.000 For a lot of people, that's a life-changing amount of money.

01:58:59.000 And it's not like an insane amount of money, but that's a lot for a lot of people.

01:59:05.000 Let's see.

01:59:05.000 Fearless Leader says, I love democracy.

01:59:08.000 I love the Republic.

01:59:09.000 Yep.

01:59:11.000 Polish American says, Nick, you can always civil marry one of your bros. 1.00

01:59:15.000 It's not gay if you're securing the bag. 1.00

01:59:18.000 I think it still is gay, but, you know, at least you're getting paid for it, right? 1.00

01:59:22.000 Delayed Patriot says, we're tired of playing by the rules.

01:59:25.000 It's time for welfare for me and my nibba.

01:59:27.000 It's time for welfare for gamers, right? 0.98

01:59:30.000 I'm so tired of black people getting welfare. 1.00

01:59:32.000 When are gamers gonna get welfare, huh? 1.00

01:59:35.000 I'm tired of single mothers and old people and women and Mexicans getting welfare. 1.00

01:59:43.000 I want welfare, okay?

01:59:45.000 When am I going to get my free money?

01:59:47.000 How is that fair?

01:59:48.000 I work my ass off, I work my fingers to the bone every day for my paycheck, and I have to pay... I'm not going to tell you what I have to pay, but I have to pay the government.

01:59:58.000 And you have all these freeloaders and they just get free... No, I'm here for my check.

02:00:03.000 I'm here for my free money.

02:00:05.000 Oh, thank you for the free money.

02:00:07.000 Not fair.

02:00:08.000 Where's my free money?

02:00:10.000 I'll work for money, and I'll take a little free money, too, actually.

02:00:14.000 Unreal.

02:00:14.000 I have to pay money.

02:00:15.000 How is that fair? 0.99

02:00:16.000 It's totally gay. 1.00

02:00:17.000 I have to pay. 0.99

02:00:19.000 I work hard, and I pay.

02:00:21.000 They don't do anything, and they receive. 0.99

02:00:23.000 What the fuck is that all about? 0.99

02:00:26.000 43% of black households get welfare, okay? 1.00

02:00:28.000 And 91% of single mother households get welfare.

02:00:30.000 90%.

02:00:30.000 To give you an idea.

02:00:31.000 So...

02:00:40.000 It's disgraceful.

02:00:41.000 It's disgraceful.

02:00:43.000 I'm better than single mothers. 0.99

02:00:45.000 I'm better than them.

02:00:46.000 If you're a single mother and you're not, like, and I'm not talking about widowers, right, or widows.

02:00:52.000 I'm not talking about, you know, if your husband died or if, you know, some extenuating circumstance.

02:00:59.000 I'm talking about you have a baby daddy who leaves, right?

02:01:02.000 You get pregnant before you get married or you get divorced or whatever. 1.00

02:01:07.000 You're an idiot if you do that. 1.00

02:01:09.000 That's not good. 1.00

02:01:10.000 Don't get divorced.

02:01:11.000 If you get divorced, you should be ashamed of yourself.

02:01:14.000 Big fat mistake.

02:01:15.000 I will never get divorced because that is against the law of God and it ruins your kids' lives. 0.72

02:01:23.000 And that is not something I would ever do. 1.00

02:01:25.000 So if you get divorced, fuck you. 1.00

02:01:28.000 And if you're a single mother and you're irresponsible, fuck you too. 1.00

02:01:34.000 You know? 1.00

02:01:34.000 And you made a mistake! 1.00

02:01:35.000 We can make mistakes.

02:01:36.000 But that one was a beauty.

02:01:38.000 And you better be sorry for it.

02:01:41.000 So... And you don't deserve to get paid.

02:01:44.000 If anything, you should be paying me.

02:01:45.000 You should be paying everybody for that.

02:01:47.000 You should pay for that.

02:01:49.000 So anyway, yeah, don't you don't even get me started not fair not fair Not fair to each according to their ability.

02:01:58.000 Well, you're not working very hard, right?

02:02:01.000 Or to each according to their need from each according to their ability.

02:02:03.000 Well, you're not working very hard But you're getting a lot of what you need

02:02:08.000 Anyway, I'm a libertarian on that.

02:02:11.000 When it comes to that, well, I don't know if I'm a libertarian so much as I just want equal opportunity welfare.

02:02:17.000 Gumball says, we need to be printing more babies to save our people. 0.99

02:02:21.000 Yeah, print more babies. 0.88

02:02:23.000 Print more money?

02:02:24.000 Yeah, how about we print more babies?

02:02:27.000 West the Great says, will illegals get the cash payments?

02:02:31.000 Why are you asking me?

02:02:32.000 I am not the White House.

02:02:34.000 The package has not even been finalized.

02:02:37.000 Am I going to get the free money?

02:02:39.000 Why are you asking me?

02:02:40.000 I'm telling you what they said in the news conference.

02:02:43.000 What I told you is what's been said.

02:02:44.000 It's not even finalized.

02:02:48.000 Probably not, but I have no idea because it's not out there yet.

02:02:51.000 Quarter Pounder says, making the mother of all omelets here.

02:02:54.000 Jack can't fret over every egg.

02:03:00.000 Josh says, in a month when we all get Trump bucks, Charlie Kirk will pretend to have always been a UBI proponent.

02:03:05.000 He will say whatever he needs to, you know, and he will always be okay.

02:03:10.000 Thanks for the Ninjagini.

02:03:11.000 As always, you know, when it comes to political stuff and policy positions, whatever he needs to say.

02:03:19.000 Demetri says, apply for my citizenship waiting for an interview.

02:03:25.000 You're not a citizen?

02:03:25.000 Yeah, well, I don't know big guy.

02:03:28.000 I don't know about all that.

02:03:29.000 I guess I hope it works out, but I don't know.

02:03:32.000 Do you watch this show?

02:03:35.000 Seb says, what are some arguments for Christianity?

02:03:38.000 For $1, what are some arguments for Christianity?

02:03:41.000 Well, I'll give you a pretty good one.

02:03:43.000 Jesus Christ literally got crucified and then died and then rose from the dead.

02:03:48.000 How's that for an argument for Christianity, huh?

02:03:51.000 So, that's my argument that I like to use.

02:03:56.000 And you know, it's really interesting when you think about that.

02:03:59.000 I've thought about this a lot.

02:04:02.000 When you think about Christianity from a very objective, and I don't mean objective, I mean from a non-religious point of view, from a non-Christian point of view, what's really incredible is what we're all thinking about is we are all born to die. 0.94

02:04:17.000 This is the fact of our existence.

02:04:19.000 We are born and we die.

02:04:21.000 We are given the gift of life, we exist, and then we do not, right?

02:04:26.000 And then it is taken away.

02:04:28.000 And this is troubling for people.

02:04:31.000 This is the great

02:04:33.000 This is the great fact of what we are and who we are, and the story of somebody cheating death.

02:04:41.000 It is just so compelling to think about.

02:04:43.000 You know, when you think about it this way, that it's like 2,000 years ago, a guy got killed, but he came back.

02:04:50.000 Still talking about it to this day, and it's inspired a religion.

02:04:54.000 And that's, I know that might be reductive or a silly way to think about it, but it's another way to think about death and what it means to come back from death.

02:05:02.000 And that is kind of the central argument.

02:05:04.000 You can make an argument for theism and you can make an argument for...

02:05:09.000 I don't know.

02:05:33.000 You know, it's almost 10 o'clock, and for one dollar.

02:05:36.000 I don't know if I'm going to get into all of that, but I would just tell you the resurrection is all the proof you need.

02:05:41.000 And the historicity of the resurrection is pretty solid stuff.

02:05:45.000 So, if somebody rose from the dead, you probably want to listen to what they had to say.

02:05:49.000 And if that person was saying, I'm the son of God... If the guy that rose from the dead was saying, I'm the son of God, and read this book, and follow these rules, you probably want to, you know, listen to that, right?

02:05:59.000 So...

02:06:00.000 just food for thought just food for thought I'm not I'm just trying to get you to think a lot of people might look down on that and say oh that's so silly or you know that's not my theological thing that I read or whatever but I'm just trying to you know get people thinking about these things let's see fearless leaders as Boeing is also seeking a bailout as of today yeah yeah the airline as I said the airline industry is asking for 50 billion dollars let's see

02:06:30.000 I guess Boeing is included in that, I'm sure.

02:06:32.000 Well, I don't know how you struggle with faith.

02:06:36.000 I mean, I understand, kind of, but I don't know.

02:06:38.000 The faith aspect comes from

02:06:49.000 When it's difficult you have to believe that you're doing the right thing.

02:06:52.000 That's where the faith comes in.

02:06:54.000 That was kind of the red pill for me on religion is you kind of know that God is real and you know that all of this is true, but the faith comes in that you have to have faith in your logic that it's true and you have to have faith in, you know,

02:07:09.000 even when it's hard and it's self-sacrifice and all that you have to have faith that you know you're right and you have to have faith that your logic is sound and that you know even even when you're doubting that's that's where kind of where that comes in I don't know if I'm articulating that well but it's it's not what a lot of people think faith is not what a lot of people think it means

02:07:30.000 Black Phillips says we get neat bucks.

02:10:14.000 What does that even mean?

02:10:16.000 Like about family, about families, about traditions, about traditionalism.

02:10:22.000 I don't, what does this mean?

02:10:23.000 What, what the, what does that mean?

02:10:28.000 Oh, man.

02:10:29.000 I don't know, man.

02:10:31.000 I don't know.

02:10:32.000 What are we going to do with some of these Super Chats? 1.00

02:10:35.000 If the question is what I think it is, if you're talking about Traditionalism, capital T Traditionalism, Evola's great, Demestra's great, Burke, you know, Reflections on the Revolution in France is like the classic.

02:10:49.000 It's kind of normie tier, but whatever.

02:10:52.000 But that's you probably looking for something normie tier if you're asking that question.

02:10:57.000 So, I'm looking at my bookshelf right now.

02:11:00.000 I'd probably go with that.

02:11:01.000 Okay, does that make you happy?

02:11:06.000 Chippy Groyper says, the coronavirus has made my family more racist.

02:11:47.000 Warren says which one is better, dark gray suit or navy suit?

02:11:50.000 Um, they're both essential for your wardrobe in my opinion.

02:11:54.000 I mean, I have to wear suits for my job, but I have the first suits that I bought was a dark navy suit and a charcoal suit.

02:12:03.000 So you really can't go wrong.

02:12:05.000 I would say navy suit is probably better, but you know, both I think are staples for your wardrobe.

02:12:11.000 It's going to be dark grey navy.

02:12:13.000 This is standard for business.

02:12:15.000 You know, a light grey is, I'm not really a fan of that.

02:12:18.000 I'm not a fan of tan and black.

02:12:21.000 A lot of people think a black suit is what you want to wear.

02:12:23.000 It's really not, that's really not what you want to go with.

02:12:26.000 So navy and the dark grey are kind of like, those are your essentials.

02:12:30.000 Dark blue.

02:12:31.000 You know, like, this is a lighter blue, but it's still, you know, blue.

02:12:34.000 You know, that's fine, too.

02:17:08.000 Nah, but I'm kidding.

02:17:09.000 Thanks for the Ninjagini.

02:17:11.000 Brian says, Chicago had a phantom kangaroo flap in 1974.

02:17:18.000 What is that?

02:17:18.000 Is that a cryptid?

02:17:23.000 Let me look this up.

02:17:26.000 Phantom kangaroo footprints.

02:17:32.000 Yeah, there it is.

02:17:33.000 In 1974, in Chicago, two Chicago PD were called to investigate a report that a kangaroo was standing on someone's porch.

02:17:44.000 After a brief search, the officers located the animal in an alleyway but were unable to capture it.

02:17:49.000 Over the next months, numerous kangaroo sightings were reported in Illinois.

02:17:53.000 And the neighboring states of Indiana and Wisconsin, with timing suggesting more than one animal if reports were accurate.

02:17:59.000 A kangaroo was seen next day by a paperboy the next week in Schiller Woods, Illinois.

02:18:06.000 And the week after that, just outside Plano, Illinois, reported by a police officer who said it jumped eight feet from a field into the road.

02:18:13.000 Thirty minutes later, a kangaroo was reported in Chicago, then reported on the following three days in the surrounding countryside.

02:18:22.000 Gee, I wonder what happened with that.

02:18:24.000 Where did that come from?

02:18:25.000 Kind of spooky.

02:18:28.000 Serval Groiper says, what should I put in the nut can from the debate?

02:18:32.000 No, you withdraw peanuts from the nut can.

02:18:35.000 Wiffle says, what my Trump Bucks portfolio look like end of year?

02:18:39.000 I don't know what that means.

02:18:44.000 Yeah, funny.

02:18:45.000 Polish American says, bruh, you wouldn't consummate the marriage, duh. 1.00

02:18:49.000 Yeah, but I think, yeah, no, I'm not, I'm not, I will not marry a king for the tax benefits. 0.77

02:18:56.000 I don't know though, maybe if it's a civil union, if you don't call it marry, maybe it's not gay, right?

02:18:59.000 If you're in a civil partnership, civil partnership, Groyper, civil partnership for the tax benefits, we all get married together, save millions of dollars on taxes, I don't know, maybe there's something to it.

02:19:13.000 You know, civil union, grouper, polygamy, compound. 0.91

02:19:17.000 If you don't call it marriage, is there anything wrong with it?

02:19:19.000 At that point, it's just like an alliance.

02:19:22.000 At that point, if it's just a civil union, you could just call it an alliance.

02:19:25.000 Do you have to kiss to make it happen?

02:19:27.000 Is it like that movie?

02:19:29.000 What's that movie?

02:19:29.000 I now pronounce you... What is it?

02:19:32.000 Chuck and Larry.

02:19:33.000 Do you have to kiss?

02:19:35.000 Or can we just say our civil union is an alliance?

02:19:38.000 Our civil union is, we're gonna be, we're dappin' it up,

02:19:43.000 No, but I probably wouldn't do that anyway, but makes you think.

02:19:47.000 But it makes you think.

02:19:48.000 Makes you think what's possible if we start bending the rules.

02:19:52.000 OpticsRespector with three Ninjaginis! 0.99

02:21:35.000 Are you a bear?

02:21:36.000 Okay, Jeff says someone baked a hamster inside of my muffin.

02:21:44.000 Jacob says use this diamond for wife and child pillow.

02:21:47.000 Thanks for the dollar.

02:21:48.000 I'll put that towards having a wife.

02:21:50.000 Inspired Lunacies has been over a month since I ordered merch to New Zealand.

02:21:55.000 Sorry to hear that.

02:21:55.000 Well, New Zealand is farther than Canada, so maybe that's why.

02:21:59.000 Manhattan says you wore a light gray suit in the cookie Q vid.

02:22:02.000 It was actually not light gray It was like blue, but it's the camera that changes up the lighting.

02:22:08.000 It was like a light blue and white But that wasn't a suit jacket.

02:22:11.000 That was a sport coat, which is different and you would know that if you weren't a bear 1.00

02:22:16.000 Lifted Trucks says... No, idiot. 1.00

02:22:22.000 The camera changes the color. 1.00

02:22:23.000 It was not gray.

02:22:24.000 It was blue and it was not a suit.

02:22:28.000 It was a sport coat.

02:22:29.000 There is a difference between a sport coat and a suit.

02:22:32.000 So anyway, Lifted Trucks says, not one of my patients are active.

02:22:37.000 Does anyone have it?

02:22:39.000 I don't have it.

02:22:41.000 If I don't have my liquor, I'm gonna snap.

02:22:43.000 If I don't have my drinky, my heckin' drinkerino.

02:23:00.000 If I don't have my drinkerino, I don't know what I'm gonna do.

02:23:04.000 Imagine not just white-knuckling your entire life.

02:23:07.000 Imagine not just white-knuckling your whole life.

02:23:10.000 You know, and no matter what, it just doesn't matter.

02:23:13.000 You just gotta deal with it.

02:23:15.000 That's what I'm doing.

02:23:16.000 That's what I'm talking about.

02:23:17.000 That's why I'm tough.

02:23:18.000 I'm a tough guy.

02:23:20.000 You know?

02:23:21.000 I'm tough.

02:23:22.000 That's just true.

02:23:24.000 I'm just the toughest person there is.

02:23:26.000 And a lot of people are like, oh, you don't, like, work out.

02:23:28.000 You're not athletic.

02:23:29.000 That means you're not tough.

02:23:30.000 How many athletic people are there that are total slaves to the system and buckle under the slightest pressure?

02:23:35.000 That's not the toughness that matters, you know?

02:23:38.000 So, so that's, that's just, you just gotta white knuckle it.

02:23:41.000 Every problem that you have, you just have to, you just have to kind of absorb it.

02:23:46.000 You just have to kind of internalize it.

02:23:48.000 That's what I do.

02:23:49.000 You just have to be great.

02:23:50.000 Just be great.

02:23:52.000 That's a little phrase I picked up from my black friend at UPS.

02:23:56.000 He would always say, when I was in UPS, there's like duos. 0.90

02:24:02.000 When you're doing the job training, you have a partner, and you're either loading or unloading trucks, and you have a partner when you're doing the job training, and they, you have a, it's you and another guy, your partners, and then you've got somebody that oversees you and, you know, corrects you and teaches you about, you know, different items or whatever, and our supervisor was this gay guy, this gay black guy. 0.97

02:24:27.000 Unironic homosexual. 1.00

02:24:29.000 We're good to go! 0.99

02:24:45.000 Why won't you let me be great?

02:25:07.000 I feel like that's a collective mentality for them.

02:25:10.000 You know, they just, the man won't let me be great, right?

02:25:13.000 The white man won't let me be great. 0.99

02:25:15.000 In that case, it was a black gay supervisor, but yeah. 0.99

02:25:18.000 Psh, man, you won't let me be great. 0.99

02:25:21.000 Yeah, it's so true, bro.

02:25:23.000 So true. 0.80

02:25:24.000 You know, you're lazy.

02:25:25.000 You literally would just, this guy would pull the boxes.

02:25:28.000 The way you're supposed to unload the trailer is you have a load stand.

02:25:32.000 If my UPS people know what I'm talking about.

02:25:34.000 A load stand is just a step stool.

02:25:37.000 And, you know, you get a trailer full of boxes.

02:25:40.000 The trailer backs up into the facility.

02:25:43.000 You pull a conveyor belt into the trailer.

02:25:45.000 You jump in the trailer and you just go from top to bottom.

02:25:49.000 You put your stepping stool up to the wall of boxes.

02:25:52.000 You get on the stepping stool and you unload the boxes from top to bottom, putting them on the conveyor belt.

02:25:58.000 You unload a stack.

02:25:59.000 One guy's on the right, one guy's on the left.

02:26:02.000 You unload the right side, put it on a conveyor in the middle.

02:26:04.000 Then on the left side, put it on the conveyor in the middle.

02:26:07.000 Once you finish the wall, you move the load stand back out, move the conveyor belt further in, move the step stool back in, and then you start the process over again.

02:26:18.000 And this guy would just yank boxes from the bottom, and all the boxes would fall on the ground.

02:26:23.000 You have a wall of boxes, and instead of taking them from top to bottom, which this I think takes a little bit more time, he would just yank the box from the bottom, and they'd fall down, and they'd pick them up off the floor.

02:26:34.000 and it's like you know that's that's why it can't be great because you don't want to do it the right way you don't want to do it the reason people pay more for ups than fedex is because it's higher quality but i would see so many packages getting broken it was very like unsettling to me to think that this is our you know package system i would never ship anything that uh fragile because we we broke well i didn't break anything but this guy broke so much shit knocking it on the floor and 0.79

02:27:03.000 That's what goes on at UPS. 0.88

02:27:21.000 Polish American says, let's civil partnership each other. 0.89

02:27:24.000 Secure the back.

02:27:25.000 Sounds like a trap to me.

02:27:27.000 You know, this guy on the one hand is like, I'm a minor. 0.94

02:27:29.000 Oh, let's get gay civil partnered. 0.94

02:27:31.000 Yeah, gonna be a pass for me. 0.99

02:27:34.000 Bastard Gas says, sounds like a Kangaroo Jack sequel.

02:27:37.000 Spooky ghosts.

02:27:39.000 I never saw Kangaroo Jack, so I don't know what that is.

02:27:43.000 Koki says, Cod is up for me.

02:27:44.000 Just had to wait three minutes.

02:27:46.000 Okay, good.

02:27:48.000 Yeah, that doesn't clear it up.

02:27:54.000 That makes no sense to me.

02:27:57.000 I haven't been on X in a long time.

02:28:02.000 It's too scary, frankly.

02:28:03.000 It just scares me and I don't like it.

02:28:06.000 I don't like to read about ghosts and scary things.

02:28:09.000 You know?

02:28:11.000 Too scary!

02:28:12.000 Too scary!

02:28:12.000 You know?

02:28:13.000 It's just spooky, scary.

02:28:15.000 I don't want to read about that.

02:28:17.000 I don't want to read about stuff like that late at night.

02:28:19.000 Whenever I'm on 4chan it's always late at night and I'll be like alone and I'll be reading through this and it totally freaks me out.

02:28:26.000 So I just stick to biz.

02:28:29.000 I don't really even go on poll that much anymore.

02:28:31.000 I go on like biz.

02:28:32.000 That's kind of it.

02:28:34.000 Yeet says, I watched enough Panther Den to know not to F with Patrick.

02:28:39.000 Patrick's a tough customer.

02:28:41.000 Peter says, people stop with the GF chats.

02:28:44.000 Wives or get out? 1.00

02:28:45.000 No, don't give me any wives chats either. 1.00

02:28:47.000 Anytime somebody comes at me with a wife or a GF thing, I know they're gonna be cringe.

02:28:52.000 And it's like, that's great if you're married.

02:28:53.000 You know, it's better to be married and cringe for you, not for me.

02:28:58.000 It's better, I need to be married and based, but for you, that's something I'll have to struggle with.

02:29:02.000 But for you, it's better that you're married and cringed than unmarried and based, but... Wives, get out! 1.00

02:29:09.000 Shut up, dude! 1.00

02:29:11.000 Any person that lives with a woman is not going to be based. 1.00

02:29:14.000 I'm sorry, but that's just true.

02:29:16.000 And I know this.

02:29:18.000 Every time, literally every single time, I am in a group chat and I see somebody comment about their wife, I'm like, there it is, wait for it, cringe.

02:29:29.000 You know, they'll make a comment about their wife, and it's maybe totally innocuous, but just by mentioning it, it's like, oh, you know, can't wait for them to post cringe.

02:29:37.000 Can't wait for them to be a total, you know, cringelord.

02:29:40.000 That's what always happens.

02:29:42.000 Me and my wife were laughing at this.

02:29:43.000 So, you and your wife were yucking it up, huh? 0.99

02:29:46.000 You and your wife laughing your little asses off, huh? 1.00

02:29:49.000 Were you holding your hands while you were laughing your asses off? 0.99

02:29:52.000 You and your wife yucking it up while you were holding hands. 0.90

02:29:54.000 Were you wearing matching pajamas while you were doing that, huh?

02:29:58.000 Were you embracing each other, hugging while you were, you know, laughing out loud?

02:30:02.000 Was that just like the most adorable moment ever?

02:30:06.000 Right?

02:30:07.000 I bet that was so funny, you know, and your wife was dying.

02:30:11.000 I'm sure it really tickled her, right?

02:30:12.000 I'm so glad to hear that.

02:30:14.000 I'm really interested to hear what made your wife laugh, you know?

02:30:17.000 That is of interest to me.

02:30:18.000 And so just whenever, whenever people put that in chat, whenever people put that in a group chat or anywhere else, it's like, there it is.

02:30:24.000 There it is.

02:30:26.000 There it is!

02:30:27.000 Get the timer, get it on the clock, you know, count down the seconds until we see cringe.

02:30:34.000 And that happened to me recently.

02:30:35.000 Some guy was in a group chat and he did that and I said, you know, I'm not saying this is you and I'm not saying this is like, you know, a bad thing.

02:30:43.000 I said, but generally whenever I see people mention their wife, they always end up cringe.

02:30:47.000 And this guy was like middle-aged, or not middle-aged, he was like in his mid-twenties.

02:30:52.000 Mid.

02:30:52.000 I was thinking mid.

02:30:53.000 Mid-twenties.

02:30:54.000 And he was like, oh, I'm not cringe.

02:30:56.000 And then within weeks, he was posting just terrible content.

02:30:59.000 And I kept making fun of him for it.

02:31:01.000 And then he freaked out.

02:31:03.000 And he started attacking me in this really cringe way.

02:31:06.000 And I'm like, there it is.

02:31:07.000 Total meltdown.

02:31:09.000 You know, serves him right.

02:31:10.000 He trusted his wife.

02:31:11.000 Served him right.

02:31:12.000 He trusted a female. 0.62

02:31:14.000 You can't be based and live with a woman. 1.00

02:31:17.000 I'm sorry.

02:31:18.000 And that's okay.

02:31:19.000 And that's okay.

02:31:21.000 There are some people that are so based, they can't be contained. 0.55

02:31:25.000 And we want lots of those people.

02:31:26.000 But I'm talking in generalities.

02:31:30.000 Most of the people that just go on and on about my wife, my wife. 1.00

02:31:34.000 Shut the fuck up about your wife, alright? 1.00

02:31:37.000 Somebody needs to collectively get all these husbands and get them by the collar and say, hey, nobody cares about your wife, alright? 1.00

02:31:46.000 When you're with the boys, nobody wants to hear about your wife! 1.00

02:31:51.000 All right, unless you're, you know, you're talking about what's going on in your world, small talk, whatever, but it's like, some people, and especially when people are like, my wife is the best.

02:32:02.000 Oh, who wants to hear you talk about, you know what I mean?

02:32:04.000 It's not even like a, it's not even like a cope thing or anything like that.

02:32:08.000 It's just,

02:32:09.000 I don't know.

02:32:09.000 I want to talk about... I want to get down to brass tacks.

02:32:12.000 I want to talk about... If I want to talk about women, I don't want to talk about how much we love our wives. 1.00

02:32:17.000 I want to talk about, like, you know, TikTok girls, right? 0.99

02:32:20.000 If it's going to go to that subject, we're going to talk about shit-talk e-girls. 1.00

02:32:24.000 We want to talk about, you know, guy talk. 0.99

02:32:26.000 We want to have guy talk.

02:32:27.000 I don't want to have wife talk. 1.00

02:32:29.000 We're gonna sit around and what, braid each other's hair and talk about how much we love our wives? 1.00

02:32:33.000 I want guy talk!

02:32:35.000 Alright, I want Rant Nation, I want cowboy boot, pickup truck, guy talk.

02:32:44.000 That's what I want.

02:32:46.000 Uh, but I'm, I'm mostly just, you know, this is largely comedic.

02:32:50.000 I don't want any of our, you know, married people to take offense, but, uh, that's just, that's how I feel.

02:32:55.000 Pine Nipple says, which aliens should we ally with then?

02:32:59.000 I told you the Nords.

02:33:01.000 Tall White Alien says, the Nordic aliens are real and we are for Nick. 1.00

02:33:05.000 Hey, there it is.

02:33:06.000 See?

02:33:06.000 Very epic.

02:33:31.000 Thank you for the warning.

02:33:53.000 Guilo says, Mom wants me to leave the Catholic Church and become Lutheran due to their openness to gays and abortion. 0.99

02:33:58.000 Yeah, well, your wife is a cringelord. 1.00

02:34:01.000 Politely disagree.

02:34:02.000 But, you know, you don't want to burn bridges with your mom, but you also don't want to, you know, let her corrupt you.

02:34:07.000 Remain Catholic. 0.87
