00:00:29.000I was getting real tired, you know, it was sort of like reopening the States too quickly, reopening the barbers and the salons and the restaurants, opening up the show to new events every day.
00:00:42.000I think it happened a little bit too quickly.
00:00:44.000And I don't know about you guys, but Monday, Tuesday, fresh, novel, stuff going on.
00:01:10.000So we'll be talking about the latest developments with the coronavirus, the numbers, and the big story today is a warning from the CDC director that the second wave of the coronavirus will be much worse than the first.
00:01:27.000And we'll see if that comes to fruition.
00:01:29.000The reason he said that is because the second wave of the coronavirus, which will result from the reopening of the economy, will coincide with the flu season.
00:01:42.000You have a new outbreak of coronavirus.
00:01:44.000These two things will sort of piggyback and compound each other, and that will produce something worse, actually, than even the first outbreak.
00:01:52.000So, we'll talk about that and some other things.
00:01:55.000We'll also be looking at what is happening with Iran.
00:01:58.000The president put out a tweet today, and this is a little bit exciting.
00:02:07.000The president put out a tweet this morning saying that he would shoot down, which some media pointed out doesn't make a ton of sense, but he would shoot down any Iranian gunboats which harass American ships.
00:02:21.000In the Persian Gulf or in international waters.
00:02:24.000So we'll look at that tweet and what's going on with that.
00:02:27.000It came as kind of a surprise to me because I haven't really been following much other news outside of Corona and the things we've been talking about lately.
00:02:36.000But we'll look into why that tweet came around and everything.
00:02:58.000You understand my feelings about the virus.
00:03:00.000But, before we get into any of that, I want to talk a little... My hair is just... I don't know if it's me, or every time I look over at the Streamlabs, it's like... I need a haircut bad, man.
00:03:51.000So, before we get into the news, though, I want to give you an update.
00:03:54.000I just keep looking over and seeing it.
00:03:56.000I'm like, uh... I keep wanting to mess with it.
00:04:00.000But, like I said, before we get into that, I want to give you an update on what's going on on TikTok, because you know I've been on there and the TikTok takeover is underway.
00:04:10.000And what I've seen is actually very encouraging.
00:04:13.000If you haven't been paying attention, maybe you haven't been watching the show lately, the Groipers are taking over TikTok.
00:04:19.000I made my account, I think, on Thursday.
00:04:21.000I posted some of my first content on Sunday, and I've been posting content.
00:04:26.000Since then and I haven't posted any new content today but it's at Nick J Fuentes if you haven't followed me there yet.
00:04:33.000But I've been using the app a lot more and specifically looking at political content ever since I made this account for this purpose.
00:04:41.000I've been on TikTok for about a year but mostly when I'm on TikTok I'm looking at
00:04:46.000You know, what an average normie might see on TikTok.
00:04:49.000Now that I've made an account there as a public person and I'm creating content there, I'm obviously now looking at the political ecosystem on TikTok.
00:05:00.000Looking at conservatives, liberals, the whole political scene.
00:05:04.000And I gotta tell ya, it is depressing.
00:05:06.000In some ways, it is encouraging, obviously, because the Groypers are now on there.
00:05:12.000And every day on my For You page, I'm seeing Zoomers and young people and all kinds of different Groypers posting funny stuff, political stuff, well-edited stuff.
00:05:23.000So, in a lot of ways, it's exciting to see that we are going to have a presence on this app and our reach is expanding.
00:05:31.000You know, it's just another demonstration of the influence of the America First movement, and that part, that part is exciting.
00:05:38.000The part that is not exciting, the part that is very, very dismaying... Excuse me, my allergies are so bad today.
00:05:46.000The part that is dismaying is literally everything else, because I spent a lot of time on the app and...
00:05:53.000You know, I'm looking at what's on there.
00:05:54.000Not just our stuff, but everything that's on there.
00:05:57.000The liberal and the conservative stuff.
00:05:59.000And what I see, it's not even so much that it's against our political ideology, although that is a problem and I'll get to that, but primarily the people on there are so dumb.
00:06:11.000And, you know, I don't like to be nasty to people for no reason, I don't think I'm a mean-spirited person, I don't say that in a mean way, and not like I'm the smartest person ever, or anything, but just the level of intellectual discourse, and I understand it's Generation Z, it's young people, so this is largely teenagers and high schoolers, young college students, right?
00:06:35.000But even some of the adults and even some of the teenagers and adolescents on there, it's like the level of discourse is so low.
00:06:44.000The level of understanding of critical thinking is just so shallow on that app.
00:06:50.000You know, I was gonna have a debate and I'll tell you what I'm getting at with that.
00:06:54.000An example, I was going to debate a prominent leftist on the app who, I think he goes by the name Heisenberg.
00:07:05.000Not the scientist, but after the television show character from Breaking Bad.
00:07:10.000And the reason he calls himself that is because he is bald and has a goatee, a red goatee, like Brian Cranston in Breaking Bad.
00:07:19.000And so, this guy challenges me to a debate on one of my TikToks.
00:07:23.000He looks like he's 30 years old and, you know, he's got this goofy, LARP-y persona, Heisenberg, and he's a leftist, like an an-com, I think, anarcho-communist, I assume.
00:07:34.000And all the conservatives are egging me on to debate him.
00:08:58.000How are we going to have a conversation about immigration if you're... Well, actually...
00:09:03.000Okay, and and I don't know, I mean, I guess like if there were no prisons anymore, then there would be no criminals, right?
00:09:09.000If there were no laws, then there would be no criminals, because there'd be no laws to break, therefore no crimes, and that would solve the crime problem, right?
00:09:17.000So what's your position on criminal justice?
00:10:10.000I get to a point, and this is maybe like cyclical for me, but I get to a point of like overexposure on the internet.
00:10:16.000I don't know if you can relate to this, maybe some of you feel this way, but every so often I get to the point where I'm way too overexposed to the internet, and I get to the point where I'm like,
00:11:12.000I scroll through TikTok, and especially on conservative TikTok, it's just an endless supply of Reagan worship, and RNC, GOP talking points, Milton, Reid, and Milton Friedman stuff, and people saying, well, conservatism, I mean, and I love the authoritative tone from some of these.
00:11:37.000What conservatism means is low taxes, and small government, and individual liberty, and the Republican Party is a diverse party of diverse ideas.
00:11:48.000And I'm just thinking, like, I just want to scream.
00:12:53.000Now that doesn't mean that we're not gonna be edgy and fresh and you know because I think what is really exciting about our movement is that we're not politically correct and the jokes that we're making
00:13:05.000And the memes and our style is fresh because it is challenging.
00:13:10.000It is offensive and in a good way, provocative in a good way.
00:13:14.000So I think we should strive to keep a balance of keeping the edge, remaining provocative and thought-provoking and assertive and aggressive and challenging these ideas.
00:13:24.000We also have to keep in mind what the line is, what the distinction is between that and between
00:13:31.000Needlessly being off-putting or alienating, right?
00:14:18.000And I said, like, yeah, that kind of stuff we just can't have.
00:14:20.000I saw this one e-girl who says, like, it's okay to be natsoc, and I'm like, we do not need dykes that are natsoc, okay?
00:14:29.000We just don't need, you know, some e-girl coming out, and of course, of course, invariably, whoever comes out of the woodwork to ruin a good thing, it is always a girl, it is always an e-girl.
00:14:40.000I see some girl with a short haircut, and her whole timeline is hashtag natsoc, hashtag, and it's like, that's not...
00:15:47.000I'll put something in the live chat I'll put something on telegram and Twitter maybe tomorrow and on Friday to remind you but just keep in mind Friday I'll be on tik-tok streaming live.
00:16:23.000And obviously there are some that are more established, that are a little bit bigger, but you know, not by a huge margin, right?
00:16:29.000The Young Turks, Hasan Piker, Destiny, maybe they achieve similar traffic or a little bit more depending on the day.
00:16:36.000But we're one of the biggest shows and the reason you know that is because you tune into TikTok and you know I'm on TikTok, right?
00:16:43.000And I'll even look at some of the normie accounts that I follow on TikTok that might have a million followers.
00:16:49.000And they have 300 live viewers like 300 live viewers I average on this show five to six thousand per night on a slow night right on a slow night.
00:17:01.000It's up to 6 000 live viewers and these are people of millions or 1 million followers And they'll pull, you know, 400 live people 400 live viewers So, uh, I know that when I went live on tiktok on sunday, and I think I got 1200 live viewers
00:17:17.000A lot of the political TikTokers and even other people are watching in awe.
00:17:21.000And they even said on that Zoom call, they said, you know, we saw that you just got on TikTok, you have 2000 followers, but you had 1000 people on your live.
00:17:30.000And we were like, we got to check this guy out.
00:17:37.000And not like to flex or anything, but you know, I think a lot of people have been so used to the show being established.
00:17:42.000I've been turning these kinds of numbers for about a year now.
00:17:45.000I think people just kind of get used to it, so...
00:17:48.000We bring our crowd over to TikTok, the account grows, people make accounts, they stick around, you know, and also it's... we are demonstrating our strength.
00:17:56.000We're demonstrating the strength of the movement so that all the political TikTokers, they see where the real seat of power is, the groipers.
00:18:04.000It's sort of like in John Wick when John Wick goes to Lawrence Fishbourne and Lawrence Fishbourne has the underground army of homeless people and they're like the real backbone of the high table or whatever.
00:18:20.000It's like in Black Panther when they go up to the mountain to that exiled tribe and they've got an army.
00:18:26.000We're sort of like that exiled army, like that X Factor of
00:18:30.000They're outside, they're the rogue nation.
00:18:32.000We're like the Khans, the great Khans, the Mongolians, right?
00:19:02.000Then we'll get to coronavirus, like I said.
00:19:05.000So this Iran stuff, to me, it felt like it came out of a clear blue sky.
00:19:09.000I don't know about you, but I hadn't heard anything about Iran, I hadn't heard anything about anything in the Middle East, anything except for coronavirus for as long as I can remember, maybe since, like, February.
00:19:21.000So I saw the tweet by President Trump today and was kind of shocked, and I will read off a report about this.
00:19:54.000Navy warships were conducting drills with U.S.
00:19:57.000Army Apache attack helicopters in international waters off Iran last Wednesday when they were repeatedly harassed by 11 Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Navy vessels.
00:20:09.000Navy's 5th Fleet, the Iranian ships repeatedly crossed in front and behind the U.S.
00:20:14.000vessels at extremely close range and high speeds, including multiple crossings of one ship, the Polar, with a 50-yard closest point of approach, and within 10 yards of another ship, the Maui's bow.
00:20:26.000According to a Fifth Fleet statement, or the bow, not the bow, right?
00:20:36.000crews responded by issuing multiple warnings via radio including five short blasts from the ship's horns and long-range acoustic noisemaker devices but received no response from the IRGCN
00:20:48.000Again, according to the Navy's Fifth Fleet, after approximately an hour, the Iranian vessels responded to the radio queries before maneuvering away from the U.S.
00:20:57.000ships and increasing the distance between them.
00:21:00.000So, I had no idea that this happened, and I like to think I check most of the news sources every day, right, to prepare for the show, and I hadn't seen anything about this on social media or anywhere else, and then it seems out of a clear blue sky, President Trump tweets about this, and I have to think that
00:21:18.000My initial reaction, and this is sort of my theory, is that what's really happening here is that the president is trying to get the price of oil back up.
00:21:28.000That, to me, is the most likely answer because, of course, there is a direct relationship between instability or conflict in the Middle East and the price of oil.
00:21:38.000We know that whenever there is saber-addling with Iran or tensions with Iran or tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran, anything that goes on in the Persian Gulf or the Strait of Hormuz or near there will affect the price of oil, will always raise the price of oil.
00:21:53.000And of course, that's because so much oil goes through the Strait of Hormuz, people anticipate that
00:22:00.000If that becomes compromised, then the price goes up, right?
00:22:03.000And I'm obviously simplifying it, but this is the relationship.
00:22:07.000And so, I imagine that given where oil prices have been in the past couple of days, yesterday we saw negative oil prices, or I think it was two days ago that that happened, it's recovered since, obviously, I think in large measure due to this.
00:22:21.000I imagine maybe the president was thinking to himself, well, if Saudi Arabia and Russia cannot come to a deal to cut production,
00:22:29.000If nothing immediate can be done to shut down the price of oil that's in my control then put out a tweet threatening Iran artificially raise the price of oil and the reason for this is it's pretty simple.
00:22:40.000Oil is obviously a critical commodity for not just the world economy but for the U.S.
00:22:47.000towns that are built around oil and when oil prices get to as low as they are which is around $20 or less even you know below $30 is pushing it
00:22:57.000You simply lose the what would it be the economic viability of some of the extraction methods that we use in the United States.
00:23:05.000It simply becomes not economical to produce oil in our country and so that is when people start to suffer.
00:23:12.000If you can't sell your oil for a high price and it's very expensive to extract it then this is going to brutalize the industry and obviously
00:23:52.000I can't help but think about the events of two days ago with oil and now it's happening today with Iran.
00:23:58.000I don't think the timing is a coincidence that we've heard nothing about Iran since maybe January or February when the Soleimani strike happened in the beginning of the year.
00:24:07.000And now all of a sudden Iran is back in the news two days after negative oil and the price goes up.
00:24:13.000You know that seems to me just too convenient to work out and and it just is makes logical sense.
00:24:18.000But I will tell you that beyond that I just do want to make a general point about things like this.
00:24:24.000You know I look at what's happening with Iran and what's happening in particular in this case and so many people like to say that
00:24:31.000The United States is the cause of all the problems in the world, and the United States is the root cause of all conflicts, but I think it's worth pointing out that this kind of stuff happens all the time.
00:24:42.000With Russia, with China, with Iran, this kind of stuff, you know, maybe they'll fly their planes into our territory, right?
00:24:50.000Or they'll harass our ships in international waters.
00:24:54.000This kind of stuff happens pretty regularly with these rogue states or
00:26:56.000I thought it was a little extreme at the time, maybe a little impractical or reckless, but I said that some retaliation was warranted, of course, because you've seen this behavior from Iran and from a lot of these countries.
00:27:07.000That doesn't mean that everything we do is justified, and it doesn't mean that everything that they do is totally irrational, but we do have to respond to provocations.
00:27:19.000I don't know if anybody was saying that, but whenever I see this, I automatically, in my head, I'm just like, I know that somewhere there is some isolationist out there who watches this show, probably, who is saying, America is going to shoot down gunships harassing us?
00:28:00.000So I don't really think Congress, the Pentagon, the President, I don't think anybody's really in a position to be doing anything extreme or dramatic in the Middle East.
00:28:10.000I think it might have even been collaborative.
00:28:12.000It might have even been some kind of like epic handshake
00:28:16.000Because, of course, Iran benefits from higher oil prices too.
00:28:21.000And in some sense, I mean, Russia's trying to push the price down for their own strategic reasons, but, you know, everybody makes more money out of these OPEC and oil-producing countries if the price goes up.
00:28:48.000I love being under the weather and You know when my hair is grown out and once again, there's nothing in the news my three favorite things in the world But but we're trying to stay positive.
00:28:58.000We're trying to stay positive We're gonna dive in and talk about the virus first.
00:29:03.000We're gonna look at the numbers today the latest numbers and
00:29:08.000Today we've got, let me hit the refresh real quick on this so we get our most up-to-date numbers here.
00:30:26.000So, it's pretty bad out there, but maybe we'll see tomorrow.
00:30:30.000If there's new information, we'll see.
00:30:33.000But the big update that I wanted to talk about today was this announcement from the CDC director about the second wave.
00:30:40.000And this is what we've been talking about a lot for the past few weeks, is the reopening.
00:30:48.000Excuse me, the reopening and I'm getting frustrated, can you tell?
00:30:52.000The reopening and the subsequent and inevitable second wave of the virus.
00:30:57.000Because of course, you know, we've been on lockdown now for, it's been over a month.
00:31:02.000Most states, obviously not every state, issued a hard shelter-in-place or anything like that.
00:31:07.000But for a lot of us, for most of us, it's been a month since no restaurants, no bars, no public gatherings, things like that.
00:31:15.000And so now that states are beginning to reopen, we've obviously got the new guidelines, the three phase and the gating plan, and we see already that southern states like South Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia, now Oklahoma, are talking about opening up in the next week or two.
00:31:53.000Contact tracing, social distancing, personal protection equipment, some of these other things like temperature checks and so on.
00:32:00.000To what extent are those going to be helpful?
00:32:02.000And I'll read you, this is a report here from CBS on the comments by the CDC director.
00:32:09.000It says, quote, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Robert Redfield, is warning of a potentially worse second wave of coronavirus later this year.
00:32:20.000In an interview with the Washington Post published Tuesday, Redfield said the outbreak could flare up again and coincide with flu season, which could set up a dangerous double whammy for the health care system.
00:32:35.000He said, quote, there's a possibility that the assault of the virus on our nation next winter will actually be even more difficult than the one we just went through.
00:32:43.000And when I've said this to others, they kind of put their head back.
00:32:48.000We're going to have the flu epidemic and the coronavirus epidemic at the same time, he said.
00:32:54.000This year's flu season is largely over, with the CDC currently reporting low flu activity in the U.S.
00:32:59.000While influenza viruses circulate all year, flu season typically begins between fall and winter, and the peak lasts from December to February.
00:33:08.000The numbers vary from year to year, but during the 2018 to 2019 flu season,
00:33:13.000The CDC estimated that 35.5 million people in the U.S.
00:33:17.000got sick with influenza, 490,600 were hospitalized, and 34,200 died of illness.
00:33:26.000In part, I think what he's getting at is not even so much the spread of coronavirus, but more the outbreak as it pertains to disease in general, which to me doesn't really make a lot of sense.
00:33:40.000And I have lately been of the belief that once we reopen the economy, the
00:33:45.000Resulting outbreak will be a lot less severe than people imagine because people are talking about catastrophe.
00:33:51.000People are talking about the next three years are going to be hell.
00:33:54.000Or at least they were up until a few weeks ago.
00:33:58.000You know, the CDC director and others have projected that if we reopen too soon, or maybe if we even reopen at all, you're gonna see healthcare overwhelmed, you're gonna see skyrocketing cases and people being, you know, carried out in body bags and mass graves and...
00:34:26.000The double whammy is not really for the population with coronavirus.
00:34:31.000It's really for the health care system.
00:34:33.000The double whammy, as far as I know, is not that influenza will exacerbate the transmission of coronavirus, but more that you'll have people with coronavirus in the hospital and people with the flu in the hospital.
00:34:46.000And so, to me, that's not really a crisis of, you know, some kind of big outbreak because of transmission of the virus or death from the virus.
00:34:54.000It's not like the virus will get more severe.
00:34:57.000It's not like the coronavirus will spread further.
00:34:59.000It's really just more that the hospitals will have difficulty treating, maybe, both people with influenza and influenza-like illnesses and people with coronavirus, which in that case, you're not really talking about a disease problem.
00:35:14.000You're talking about an infrastructure and an economic problem, a resource problem, which is not really our problem.
00:35:21.000And, you know, that doesn't mean that we're not sympathetic to
00:35:25.000People that need to be treated or people that are in severe condition, right?
00:36:16.000And put everybody at home, and put everybody out of work and out of school, because the hospitals would be overwhelmed.
00:36:22.000Because the hospitals would not have the necessary personnel and equipment to treat all the people with the virus.
00:36:28.000Remember, and I said this yesterday, and I think some people were shocked, maybe they didn't think it through, but we did the shelter-in-place, again, not necessarily primarily to stop the transmission, but to slow the transmission.
00:36:44.000They never once said that we're gonna shut down and quarantine everybody, shut down the country, shut down the economy, and shelter in place all the most populous states because then we'll wait the virus out and it'll die off, we'll eradicate it, transmission will slow to a halt, and then we'll reopen and everyone will be fine.
00:37:02.000The argument was always that the coronavirus will burn through most of the population.
00:37:08.000It will infect most of the population.
00:37:14.000So the coronavirus will infect lots and lots of people.
00:37:17.000I mean like millions and millions of people.
00:37:19.000Most of the population or close to the majority of the population will get it.
00:37:24.000But the point of shutting down the country was to slow down the rate at which everybody would get it so that everybody wouldn't get it at the same time.
00:37:32.000Because if everybody got it at the same time, well then hospitals couldn't treat everybody and then that would make it worse.
00:37:38.000And there's a valid argument to be made that maybe that was necessary a month ago, but now we need to get our act together and figure it out.
00:37:45.000You know, we should be able to fight two diseases at once.
00:37:48.000How much money do we spend every year to make sure that we could fight two wars at the same time?
00:37:53.000We are currently fighting two wars at the same time.
00:37:56.000We have a big enough military that we could fight two wars at one time and probably one other on top of that.
00:38:01.000We're in Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Iraq, Afghanistan, the list goes on.
00:38:06.000So we can fight all that, you know, no shortage of personnel or funds or money or resources for that.
00:38:12.000But we can't fight influenza and a novel coronavirus at the same time in our hospitals.
00:38:18.000And we're going to shut down the whole economy indefinitely because of that.
00:38:23.000And at a certain point, they're just not telling the truth.
00:38:26.000Because Trump actually had to tell the CDC Director to clarify his comments.
00:38:31.000And the CDC Director, while he initially said the outbreak is going to be worse, he then clarified and said it was going to be more difficult.
00:42:29.000At least Republicans might say, well, maybe it's China's fault or whatever.
00:42:33.000It's Bill Gates, but in any case, that belies the fact that part of what is driving the crisis, maybe a big component of the crisis, is the economic aspect, the shortages, the medical supplies, all of that, all of which is firmly in our control, all of which is firmly in the control of the government.
00:42:51.000And if we imagine a scenario where the government was just prepared,
00:42:54.000And they just made a plan and they just had enough personal protective equipment.
00:42:59.000Mark Zuckerberg, by the way, if you think that this is like impossible or unpredictable or an unreasonable expectation, Facebook had like millions of masks that they were stockpiling.
00:45:17.000We talked about it, I think, last week.
00:45:19.000But there were two antibody tests done in California.
00:45:22.000And they have flaws in the methodology, which we talked about last week.
00:45:27.000They were self-selected, the people that were tested, so that creates some discrepancies in the real population versus the tested population.
00:45:34.000But nevertheless, they ran an antibody test.
00:45:37.000These two trials, I guess you could say, these two tests in these two cities in California, and they found that based on those antibody tests, the real death rate of coronavirus is something like 0.1%.
00:46:08.000And they said that based on all that information, they can calculate a new death rate based on how many people have died versus the theoretical number of cases out there once you factor in asymptomatic carriers who haven't been tested or even surveilled.
00:46:23.000You know, we don't even know where they are.
00:46:24.000The real death rate is 0.1%, which if the death rate is 0.1%, I mean, still lots of people will die, but not millions of people, right?
00:46:33.000I mean, it will be comparable in the end.
00:46:38.000It'll probably be much worse than any flu season.
00:46:41.000I mean, because you have to remember, the flu has a low death rate, but because there's no immunity for this virus, it's gonna go across the whole population.
00:46:50.000So, if let's say 150 million people get the virus, which I don't think is really outside the question, right?
00:46:56.000I don't think that's off the table yet.
00:46:58.000But if you have tens of millions or more than 100 million people getting the virus, 0.1% is still a big number.
00:47:05.000You know, that's still, that's still a lot of people.
00:47:07.000If a hundred million people get the virus, for example, you're talking about a hundred thousand dead, right?
00:47:12.000Which, that's not, you know, that's not a million, but that's still a lot.
00:47:15.000A hundred thousand people dying is way worse than a really bad flu season.
00:47:20.000So, I mean, that would still be pretty catastrophic.
00:47:23.000It wouldn't be a world, like I said, not a world-ending, civilization-ending event, but it is still gonna be bad.
00:47:58.000We're looking at all the data that's coming in based on the asymptomatic carriers, the antibody tests, the real death rate based on these tests, hospitalizations, and none of the numbers are what they said they were.
00:48:10.000None of the numbers are what they made it out to be.
00:48:12.000You know, we talked about the number of hospital beds in New York, in New York State or New York City, and they said they wanted 140,000 or 120,000.
00:48:28.000Every step of the way the numbers are being decreased right?
00:48:31.000The death rate, the hospitalizations, the projected dead, the list goes on and on and so at this point I'm in favor of reopening the economy.
00:48:39.000You still got to be careful and people are still gonna die and it's still gonna suck but you know crashing the economy will be far worse than the virus right?
00:48:48.000When all is said and done, I think that if our country entered into another Great Depression, that would absolutely be worse and it wouldn't even be close than what this coronavirus is shaping up to be.
00:49:03.000We could be looking at Tennessee and South Carolina and Georgia and Oklahoma
00:49:08.000In a month and saying oh this is a disaster this is much worse than we ever anticipated and I could be wrong and we'll have to watch the first dates that open and see what their transmission and cases and deaths look like but based on what I'm seeing right now and that's all we have is the information that we have right now I would say that this is not going to be as severe as we were led to believe and probably there's going to be a big reopening
00:49:48.000It's going to be so bad that we should shut down the country indefinitely because this is just simply not sustainable.
00:49:54.000It's just no practical, serious person could tell you that we can shut down the country for 12 months, or 18 months, or 24 months.
00:50:03.000And the 18-month number, which you've been hearing so much, which I've heard a lot, is based on the minimum time it would take to create a vaccine.
00:51:00.000And can we really say, oh, we're going to shut down the economy for 18 months and then reevaluate in 18 months based on whether or not we've developed a vaccine, which is something that a lot of experts say might not even happen at all and certainly not anytime soon.
00:51:50.000I'm very tired of this idea that, well, the economy doesn't matter at all.
00:51:54.000Just because we don't worship the economy, just because the economy isn't our first priority or, you know, certain measures of the economy, doesn't mean that the actual economy doesn't matter, right?
00:53:25.000I slept like 5 hours last night, and I woke up super early.
00:53:29.000So I was working all day, so I took a nap in the middle of the day, and I wake up and can't breathe out of my nose, and I realize, oh wait a minute, this blanket is covered in dog hair.
00:55:41.000Do you know a lot of 21 year olds that own their own homes?
00:55:44.000I mean, certainly there are people out there that own their own homes and are doing great and everything, but it's like every, literally everybody I know who is a peer of mine lives at home.
00:55:54.000You know, they're either in college and then they're moving back home at 22 and they're older than me.
00:56:00.000Or you know, you know what I'm saying?
00:56:01.000So and it's not like I can't move out It's just why would I at this at this stage in the game, right?
00:56:07.000But now now there's a pretty good reason so I was thinking about it already I'm saying you know what?
00:57:31.000Racist incels says, Do you believe Strauss-Howe generational theory?
00:57:35.000I don't really subscribe to generational theories so much.
00:57:42.000I mean, I understand that there are patterns with generations.
00:57:44.000There are a lot of, like, these theories about how history is cyclical.
00:57:48.000Not just generational, but also, you know, like Spengler talks about similar themes.
00:57:53.000And I'm generally skeptical of all of these kinds of things because although there are definitely patterns, there's definitely some truth to it, I do think that history basically doesn't repeat itself.
00:58:06.000I mean, certainly you can see similarities, and of course there's nothing new under the sun.
00:58:10.000We know this, and people have pointed out endlessly the similarities between Rome and America, or, you know, other great civilizations in America, and similar trends.
00:58:24.000What I don't buy into is this sort of like formulaic, this predictive model.
00:58:28.000There are patterns, there are trends, and we can look at certain times in history and say, oh, it's similar to that generation or similar to this time, but I don't know if it's like this calculable, like, oh, well, in the year 2080 this will happen.
00:58:40.000So I dispute kind of that like science of it.
00:58:44.000I'm simplifying, but that's my general take on things like that.
01:01:14.000The more that I see, the more I believe that people just shouldn't be able to read.
01:01:33.000The more that I, the more that I grow older, the more that I realize it's not about women or men or blacks or whites or Jews or Christians.
01:01:42.000It's really about, like, the top 20% and everybody else.
01:01:46.000The real solution is, like, make peasants peasants again.
01:01:53.000Like, thinking about the fact that back in the day people couldn't even read.
01:01:58.000And, you know, they didn't know what the laws were, and they couldn't read the Bible, and they, like, worshipped the king, you know?
01:02:06.000They were unworthy in the presence of the king or the nobility.
01:02:10.000You know, it's like, maybe what has gone wrong is these mouth breathers have ascended.
01:02:14.000You know, people that will... Like, I was watching that Zoom call the other day, and they're all going back and forth about how communism doesn't work because people are greedy.
01:02:28.000They're going on for hours, for hours, in circles.
01:02:36.000Well, I've done a lot of research, and if you read Marx, what you find is that communism works on paper, but it doesn't work in reality because people aren't greedy.
01:02:50.000And one guy in particular made me want to light myself on fire.
01:02:55.000I want to self-immolate in front of his house.
01:02:57.000And say, like, you know, this is what it's come to.
01:03:01.000I've done my research, and the only place that communism works is in a beehive, because people not self-sacrifice for the collective, they're greedy.
01:03:39.000You ever have a bad dream and you realize you're dreaming and you have to force yourself to wake up?
01:03:44.000I'm feeling like that a lot more lately.
01:03:47.000I'm getting that feeling in my waking life.
01:03:49.000You ever, you know, in a dream you become aware that you're dreaming and it's a nightmare and you're like, you will yourself wake up, you have to pull yourself out of it?
01:04:22.000And, you know, Jaden will be there, Patrick will be there, and, you know, we've all got on, like, tactical gear, and it's like, the globalists are coming in, they're shooting in our position, we've got to get out of here, right?
01:04:33.000And Ben Shapiro is being incepted, you know, we, like, leave him there, we've got to get out of here, the Mossad is on us, right?
01:07:19.000Nationalist Ohio says, A few friends were sick for weeks.
01:07:22.000Doctors said tests were only for elderly and hospitalizations.
01:07:25.000Yeah, that's another source of the discrepancy between the real number and the confirmed cases.
01:07:32.000Zomer says, excuse me, the chastity of men is what guards the chastity of women because ultimately women were made to please and to follow the leadership of men.
01:17:16.000At the peak during the worst epidemics in the worst places, right?
01:17:20.000New York City, which is the worst outbreak in the country at the peak of the first outbreak, and there's not even close to being a shortage.
01:20:37.000Are you a girl by any chance girls do the same thing, you know, they hear you say something and then like later They'll say it back to you.
01:24:43.000Like I think somebody comes down and and like starts moving moving all doesn't move it anywhere or put it away But just rearranges it so I'm like walking through and I trip on a box.
01:24:56.000Oh all this shit that I moved out and compactly put in this part of the room is now spread out across the room Why why do we do that and like I?
01:25:06.000I just it's just these mounting grievances.
01:25:19.000I'd rather save the money and put up with the whatever but it's time Why I can't read this username says who's your favorite Saints confirmation Saints?
01:25:28.000I don't have a favorite saying my confirmation saying is George
01:25:32.000Mark Sharkowski says great show King Richard Pearl is a giant slug.
01:25:36.000That is so true Master of Wars is better dumper Patrick Casey or shallot Patrick Casey hands down Holy Servants as America first cast system, please.
01:26:37.000Yeah I agree with that but honestly the pedophile thing is like such a source of faux edginess and don't take this as me saying I don't hate pedophiles obviously we all hate pedophiles we all want to put them in jail forever right yeah harshest penalties for pedophiles and all of that being said I feel like that is a cop-out that is like a way to be edgy without being edgy oh kill your local pedophile it's like oh wow whoa dude so edgy wow
01:27:58.000Modern Monarchist says my rosary dinner chores make way for your show America first cool, dude Our paleocons authentic right-wing pre-enlightenment.
01:28:08.000Um Not quite but I mean it's as probably as good as you're gonna get in like the industrial modern era
