No lemons for tonight's show, which is a bit of a bummer, but it's a free show, so it's not too bad, right? We talk about the coronavirus, the new DHL site maintenance, and why the lemons are down. Also, we talk about why we don't have any superchats on the show tonight, and what that means for the future of the show and the content on it. We also talk about what it means for Jaden and Patrick's chances of catching the virus, and whether or not they should be worried about the possibility of catching it in the first place. And, of course, we finish up the show with a rant about the fact that we're not getting paid for the show, and that's a good thing, because we're here for the content, not the money.

00:00:40.000Apparently DLive is undergoing maintenance.
00:00:43.000And here's the beauty, they're undergoing site-wide maintenance because they're changing up how the money works.
00:00:52.000And so the maintenance, what they're putting into place, is actually a higher fee for the lemons.
00:00:58.000So if that wasn't good enough, and I talked about this a little bit yesterday, they're now raising their fee, raising the cut that DLive takes out of every super chat, out of every lemon, from 10 to 25 percent.
00:01:11.000So this is why the site maintenance is occurring.
00:01:18.000It's not enough that they're gonna take 15% more lemons or however, whatever the percentage is, however many more lemons out of every ninjagini or every diamond that you give me, but they also put the entire site under maintenance
00:02:12.000I had no idea there was site maintenance.
00:02:15.000And by the way, if Jaden or Patrick hadn't told me about some of the other changes that were being made, I probably would not even know about the raising of the fee or the fact that you have to log in your Lino account and pull out... some of you may know how this works... pull out some extra money, so...
00:02:34.000It's just been a real pain in the ass with this website.
00:02:37.000You know, I understand small platform.
00:02:39.000Like I said, I understand small platform.
00:04:09.000I'm not getting superchats from 6,000 people every night so most of you it's really hardly any different but that's a joke of course but it's not a joke it's completely factual but I'm saying it in a joking way but we've got a great show nevertheless superchats no superchats it makes no difference we're not here for that we're here for the content we're here for the takes the comedy we're here for the
00:05:47.000Our big story tonight is about the origin of the coronavirus, and I know annoyingly a lot of people are going to say, duh, we've known this forever.
00:05:57.000But it may have just been confirmed that the coronavirus came from a government laboratory in Wuhan in China.
00:06:05.000And I know we've been talking about this theory since January, actually, since the virus started in China, or since it was first reported, I should say, in China.
00:06:16.000We have been talking about the idea that it is likely or probable or maybe much more likely that the virus originated from a laboratory and probably a government laboratory for whatever purposes whether that's bioweapons or something else.
00:06:32.000It's much more likely that that is the source than a wet market or anything like that.
00:06:38.000And the evidence has been piling up since January.
00:06:57.000People looked into it and there was a report that found that you didn't see that particular species of bat anywhere near the city of Wuhan.
00:07:07.000For a bat like that to show up at a wet market in Wuhan, and moreover, at that particular market, it's confirmed that they didn't sell that kind of bat.
00:07:15.000So, if they trace the virus back to a particular species of bat, and the Chinese government is telling us it came from a wet market in a particular city, and we know that that bat isn't found anywhere near the city and was not sold at that particular wet market, obviously there must be another source.
00:07:33.000Obviously that was not the original source.
00:07:35.000Patient Zero did not contract the virus from this wet market.
00:07:49.000I think it's called the Wuhan Institute of Virology inside the city.
00:07:54.000And that is one of the only laboratories in China which has a security clearance that they could handle that family of coronavirus or families of coronavirus.
00:08:05.000And so, we had this evidence going back, some evidence was early, some was later, but now, and this is our development today, we may have finally confirmed, finally confirmed from our own government that this is the source.
00:08:19.000And I know we speculated all along, and I think a lot of us probably knew, more likely than not, that this was the case, but now we finally have confirmation.
00:08:27.000So, we'll talk about that report, we'll be talking about a new fund that has been created in California.
00:08:35.000Well a lot of people are getting their Trump bucks today from the federal government.
00:08:39.000People are getting their $1,200 checks or they're getting their $600 unemployment benefits from the... or they're getting employee compensation for small businesses.
00:08:50.000There's all kinds of compensation and cash payments that are going out from the federal government this week.
00:09:42.000You know, I don't know if the demographics are actually of the audience, but
00:09:46.000Rest assured, illegal immigrants will be getting a cash payment.
00:09:49.000So, we can all rest easy knowing that.
00:09:51.000But, those will be our two main stories.
00:09:53.000We'll be looking at that report on the origin of the virus, and we'll be looking at the Illegal Immigrant Cash Payment Fund, and we'll also be talking about the numbers.
00:10:05.000Death rate, confirmed cases, death toll, all of that.
00:10:09.000And so it should be a pretty good show.
00:10:10.000Pretty good show talking about the virus, but it will be a show without lemons.
00:10:15.000It will be a show without Super Chats, sadly.
00:10:19.000A very depressing picture to see that 0.00 hanging over the video playback here on the screen.
00:10:28.000But that's okay, and I know, you know, what's gonna be even better about this show is all the people that are gonna pile into the live chat over the course of the night, because they didn't tune in for the beginning of the show, saying, Hey, what the heck?
00:11:17.000And I have to tell you, before we dive into our current events here, the latest, I am just, I don't know about you, but I am just savoring, I am savoring all of the dysfunction that is arising from this coronavirus pandemic for normies, wagees, people that go to school,
00:11:46.000Multiple articles today on Twitter on there.
00:11:49.000What is it trending or for you for you is tick tock?
00:11:53.000On the trending page on Twitter, there's multiple articles in like the New York Times and in all the other big publications talking about how this coronavirus is devastating the population psychologically because we're not able to touch one another.
00:12:07.000All these tortured articles about human beings need touch, human beings need social contact, human beings need love.
00:12:14.000How are we going to survive in the coronavirus?
00:12:17.000And I just find it so funny because you know what all of that is about, right?
00:12:21.000I mean, you know what all these articles deep down are about.
00:12:25.000This is all just a major cope for Coomers, essentially.
00:12:30.000Because we all know that when it comes down to this kind of social stuff and whatever, you still are in your house with your family.
00:12:41.000And in most cases, people still do see each other.
00:12:44.000And it's not like social functions and social engagement has disappeared altogether.
00:12:51.000And probably if you're a more traditional person or a traditional type family,
00:12:56.000You know, you're probably seeing a lot of your family.
00:12:58.000I still see my family, you know, and so on.
00:13:00.000And as long as you're careful, you're still able to talk to people.
00:13:03.000But we know that we hear all these tortured articles about love and touch and contact and we're breaking down because primarily women, but also a lot of men, I think, are really just self-destructing completely.
00:13:18.000Self-immolating, imploding, because they are not able to have casual sex.
00:13:26.000And I think I'm right about this that...
00:13:28.000You know, when you look across the social landscape, the people that are hardest hit by the social distancing, the self-isolation, the quarantining, are people that make it a habit to regularly go out every weekend or every other weekend and get wasted, get drunk, and hook up with strangers and have casual sex with strangers.
00:16:20.000I think people are left with essentially nothing, a life devoid of any kind of meaning, and a country and a community devoid of any kind of meaning.
00:16:28.000And this is why people are resorting to these ridiculous displays where, for example, you see people like I saw in Boston, people on their porches singing, what are they singing?
00:16:39.000Or something just as gay, something like that.
00:16:42.000They're out on their porches and all the neighbors are singing Lean On Me.
00:16:45.000And how much do you want to bet that all these neighbors coming out in solidarity have no idea what their next door neighbor's name even is?
00:16:54.000When they come out on the porch and they sing their song and they wave their hands, how much do you want to bet they don't even know any of their neighbor's names?
00:17:01.000Or anything about them, or anything about their families, and they've never talked to them before.
00:17:06.000But what that is about, what these little demonstrations, ridiculous demonstrations are about, is trying to keep the charade going.
00:17:31.000of astroturfed and fake stimulation and this is a big problem you know this is why i think we could get into the significance of this why you know we are right and why we have answers for these problems and why this is the real crisis in the country and so on but
00:17:47.000We could do a whole show about that, but I just read articles like this and it's so funny to me that they want to make it about human beings needing touch and human beings needing X, Y, and Z. You don't need touch.
00:17:59.000You need God, is what you need, frankly.
00:18:01.000And frankly, you can touch lots of people.
00:18:03.000You can touch your parents, you can touch your kids, if you have kids or your siblings.
00:18:17.000They have no strings attached hookup partners and relationships.
00:18:22.000They've got nothing of consequence, and I think a lot of people are realizing that and to me I mean I don't know it is it is sad it is tragic in some ways, but it is a source of amusement because Usually it's us
00:18:35.000If you are agitating against this system, if you are like I do on this show talking about the vapidness, the void that we have, what is the common refrain from the rest, from the masses?
00:18:54.000Oh, you don't have friends and X, Y, and Z. And all these people that were so assured, all these people that they sourced their self-esteem and their value and their meaning in these relationships, the party, the show, the...
00:19:35.000I know that might be morbid, but I don't think you can remind people enough that this idea of the party coming to an end, that is something that every one of us will experience one day, and I'm talking about death, but it may also happen in this country.
00:19:51.000The lowering of the quality of life drastically, and the country going from Western European standards of living to Brazilian standards of living, Africa standards of living.
00:20:02.000So, certainly there are multiple, you know, applications for that idea.
00:20:06.000It's true in a general sense that this party's going to come to an end in terms of binging credit and binging this hyper-capitalist system and binging on
00:20:17.000Neoliberalism essentially, but I think more consequentially it's a good reminder when these things happen that the party's all gonna come to an end for every one of us.
00:20:26.000And when you look back on your life and you look ahead to the afterlife, what is that going to be?
00:20:32.000What are you going to find when you introspect?
00:20:34.000What are you going to find when you look within?
00:20:44.000I told you the other day, virtually nothing has changed for me, so.
00:20:47.000And even if it did change for me, I think I'd be fine anyway, so.
00:20:51.000Anyway, just wanted to point that out.
00:20:53.000I've seen several articles on Twitter today like this, and I see people
00:20:57.000Freaking out and this is so hard and this is such a tough time and it's like yeah It is this is what happens you don't get to live an easy life You don't get to live a life of and that's what people think they think that Life is supposed to be just an endless Disney World parade
00:21:15.000And you need to be happy all the time, and you need to be partying all the time, and bright colors, and dancing, and flashing lights, and loud songs and sounds, and that's not life.
00:21:28.000And then it all comes crashing down, but hey, that's life.
00:21:31.000So anyway, but I don't mean to get too philosophical here right out of the gate, but just some passing observations about where we are.
00:21:39.000Very amusing to look around, especially given my situation with Charlottesville and all that.
00:21:45.000You know, the way that people have talked to me, my peers, and you see the abuse I get on Twitter, the things people say, and it's always an appeal to all of that.
00:21:53.000It's always an appeal to that lifestyle.
00:21:55.000If you're not living that lifestyle, you're not cool.
00:22:15.000The dopamine hits, I think that makes them lash out.
00:22:18.000So, we all know what that is, it's very transparent, but it's funny to see it.
00:22:21.000It's funny to see it come crashing down today.
00:22:23.000And, uh, you know, they are, they're sort of like the, the proverbial junkie who is without drugs for a little while, suffering withdrawal.
00:22:33.000You know, it's like somebody that goes from cocaine to crack, or somebody that goes from, you know, different drugs to heroin, and now they're on Zoom calls, they're on, uh, what's that?
00:22:44.000The house party app, and they're, you know, they're singing songs on the porches.
00:22:48.000They're like, they're a junkie, they just need a little bit of a fix.
00:22:52.000They're sitting in their room, drinking a bottle of wine with, like, New Year's Eve streamers and horns, trying to, uh, trying to imitate
00:23:01.000trying to uh replicate the the sensation the high get the chemicals going again but okay we're gonna move on and talk about coronavirus it's a little it's a little funny but we're gonna dive in and talk about you know everything that's going on we're gonna take a look at the numbers so our latest numbers uh we have
00:23:24.000The president today said that we have passed the peak, which is possible if he's talking about maybe new cases, but even then, I mean, I guess that's true.
00:23:36.000So what I mean by this is we're up to 643,726 cases in the United States.
00:23:54.000And the death rate went up from 1,300 the day before, and a previous high of 2,000 on Friday.
00:24:00.000So, the President said today at the Rose Garden that we passed the peak.
00:24:04.000When it comes to the death rate, I'm not sure that we're out of the woods yet, because, you know, like I just said, we saw the peak, we saw a new peak yesterday, and we're matching that peak today.
00:24:14.000So unless the death rate starts to go down tomorrow, or in the coming days, I mean, maybe we're splitting hairs at this point, he means in general we've passed the peak with death.
00:24:23.000Or maybe he means that we're past the peak with new cases.
00:24:26.000We have about 29,000 new cases today, but it's been about 30,000 new cases for the past few weeks.
00:24:33.000So I'm not sure exactly what he means by that, but death is still high.
00:25:05.000It does seem to me that this will be the peak week in terms of the death rate that probably after this week, the death rate will decline substantially and probably won't exceed the numbers that we're seeing today and yesterday.
00:26:01.000Free school, health care, whatever, but now they get a free something else.
00:26:05.000They get a free cash payment, and this is from Fox News.
00:26:08.000It says, quote, California Governor Gavin Newsom announced on Wednesday plans to give cash payments to adult immigrants living illegally in the state to help them weather the coronavirus crisis.
00:26:19.000The plan, which would use a mix of taxpayer money and charitable donations from corporations and philanthropists, will give 150,000 adults $500 each during the coronavirus outbreak, according to the governor.
00:26:32.000California has had an estimated 2 million immigrants living in the country illegally.
00:26:37.000They have not been eligible for the $2.2 trillion stimulus package approved by Congress last month, which pledged cash payments to most Americans while boosting unemployment benefits by $600 per week.
00:26:49.000So the illegals, they don't get the $1,200 cash payment, they don't get the unemployment benefits, and that is deeply tragic.
00:28:51.000How do you have 20 million people living in the country illegally?
00:28:54.000And it's not enough that they don't get deported.
00:28:57.000It's not enough that they don't get persecuted in any way.
00:28:59.000It's not enough that no services are denied to them.
00:29:02.000But on top of that you've got the media, you've got charities, NGOs that are actively aiding and abetting them living in this country illegally.
00:30:42.000And, you know, it's tried to say it at this point about Americans don't need to help illegals and so on, but even when it comes to private charities.
00:30:50.000How about we don't commit a single dollar to a foreign person at all?
00:30:55.000But definitely not until every single American is taken care of, right?
00:30:59.000I mean, that much should be obvious, but I think the point that is missing on a lot of people about these conversations, because I hear rhetoric all day long about
00:31:07.000Illegal immigrants and you know even more normie type Republicans will say this kind of stuff about sometimes they try to make it an appeal to black people.
00:31:17.000They try to make it into an appeal to the legal immigrants.
00:31:28.000Well, and they'll go to these very liberal cities and neighborhoods and they'll say, we have, I'm thinking of one person in particular, Scott Pressler, we have this many black unemployed, we have this many black homeless youth, this many black people that are not well off, and Democrats want to give money to illegals?
00:31:49.000Or they'll say about, they'll say that the worst thing about illegal immigration is that it hurts legal immigrants.
00:31:56.000They'll say, well you know the worst thing about illegal immigration?
00:32:00.000It's that all these line cumpers and, line cumpers?
00:32:27.000What's really unfair to when these people jump the border wall and they cut in line is the immigrants that bribed their way into the country.
00:32:35.000The real victims of illegal immigration are all the Chinese people that had to pay a bribe to get citizenship.
00:32:42.000Or all these Indians that had corporations smuggle them in.
00:32:46.000They lobbied Congress to give them BS visas.
00:33:08.000And so I hear these arguments all the time from conservatives, but the angle that I don't really hear enough is that these people do not belong to us.
00:33:32.000But let's not forget they have a country.
00:33:35.000If they're illegal immigrants, they immigrated here.
00:33:37.000They were born in another... I mean, this is pretty asinine, simple stuff, but...
00:33:42.000And so why is that our responsibility in any way?
00:33:45.000To me, these people should be treated like not even... I mean, they just should not be treated in any way, shape, or form even the same as citizens.
00:33:53.000They should be treated like escaped convicts in this country, running around.
00:33:57.000And we should be building up a massive police force to get rid of every single one of them.
00:34:03.000Because everybody always wants to talk about our responsibility to these people, but what is the responsibility of their government?
00:34:09.000Isn't that sick that the government looks after bastards, essentially?
00:34:14.000That their government sends them over to our country, and our government takes care of them.
00:34:19.000Our government doesn't take care of us.
00:34:22.000This is like the most upside down insane way of running a country and just frankly immoral and unethical way to run a country that there is.
00:34:40.000Let their government rescue them from the ocean.
00:34:43.000You know, give them a parachute and kick them out of a plane or something over El Salvador, Nicaragua, wherever they come from.
00:34:50.000It is unreal and especially in a time of crisis like this.
00:34:53.000I think actually this is a great time actually for us because it's only during a time like this when people really see that clear distinction.
00:35:02.000It's only at a time like this when people really start to feel agitated about these decisions because I can bet that there are a lot of people in this country
00:35:12.000Who might not be immigration restrictionist, or conservative on immigration, or conservative at all for that matter, or Republican.
00:35:19.000Who maybe in normal times might be skeptical of people that are very militantly opposed to illegal immigration, but now that maybe they lost their job, or they lost their business, or they're underwater in debt, or something like that, and they see illegal immigrants getting cash payments, they see private charities and government teaming up, taxpayers and
00:35:40.000Billionaires and millionaires coming together to bail these people out?
00:35:44.000I'm sure that that's going to rub a lot of people the wrong way.
00:35:47.000And so, this is a little glimpse into our future.
00:35:50.000In some ways, it's actually white-pilling.
00:35:53.000On the one hand, I see this kind of stuff and it's all so tiresome.
00:36:19.000The more extreme that our beneficence or the Democrats' beneficence is towards illegal immigrants, and the worse conditions get, and the less public services and money there is, the more that people start to wake up on this.
00:36:32.000The more that that fault line will become distinct and clear and hard of people that are with them or with us.
00:36:41.000And this is a big reason why I'm bullish and white-pilled about our future because, and I've been saying this, coronavirus is a little taste of what the future of our country will be like.
00:36:52.000And I don't mean just in the sense that there'll be more diseases or that this disease will go on, but I mean that things like this will become more common.
00:37:01.000Shortages, government shutdowns, draconian government regulations or restrictions, this idea of a nanny state or a police state.
00:37:10.000We'll get a lot more of this in the future because the people that we're bringing in, like Trump famously said, they've got a lot of problems.
00:37:18.000The people that are coming in, they don't know how to live in a civilized Western country.
00:37:49.000In front of the counter, like at a bank.
00:37:51.000You might think that, oh, that might be for coronavirus or something.
00:37:54.000No, that's because people come into this place regularly and try to steal or start fights or something like this.
00:38:00.000You go to these neighborhoods and, you know, they have bars in front of their windows.
00:38:04.000When a shop closes up for the night, they put in front of it a metal sheet or they'll put up bars on the glass doors or windows so that people will not smash the windows, come in and take things.
00:39:16.000You take this bus or you take this way to school or to work and not that neighborhood.
00:39:20.000You pay a little bit more in property taxes so that you can live in that neighborhood and go to this school and not that other neighborhood and that school with all those people in that school.
00:39:30.000If you pay a little premium and this is a lot of people.
00:39:33.000Some people are, you know, increasingly not able to afford that because it's everywhere.
00:39:37.000But pretty soon, as this standard of living overtakes the rest of the country and becomes unavoidable and inescapable, except for the wealthiest Americans that can afford to live in gated communities and go to private schools, and we're talking thousands of, I mean, like, rich people, the more that that happens, the more people are going to start to not like the country they're living in.
00:40:00.000Until they cannot pay to escape the country they're going to live in,
00:40:16.000It's like a fire in a nightclub or something.
00:40:19.000You know you ever hear and this is a good analogy from I think trash wave or some poster on Twitter I gotta give him credit because it was really good I don't really enjoy his content so much anymore but he made a really good thread about this not too long ago have you ever heard of the station nightclub fire
00:40:37.000This is something that happened I think in the early 2000s on the East Coast.
00:40:41.000It's one of the most famous nightclub fires where you had a rock concert happening in this bar slash nightclub where they have live music and they did a pyrotechnics demonstration or a pyrotechnics show where they're doing fireworks inside the bar.
00:40:58.000Now I could get into the logistics of why this happened but basically it started a huge fire.
00:41:30.000And burn so hot I forget what they call this but there's a certain term that firefighters use where the air is so hot that things spontaneously combust.
00:41:41.000For whatever reason I think it was the insulation in the ceilings the soundproofing insulation was highly flammable and so once that went in the whole place just turned into like an inferno.
00:41:53.000Of course, everybody, once they see the obvious fire, once they start, you know, feeling their hair on fire, and they start having, you know, parts of the ceiling rain down on them, they all rush for the exit!
00:42:13.000But I never forgot that because that is like a perfect visualization and a perfect analogy for the country.
00:42:20.000And in some ways you can look at that as how events might play out, but I look at that in terms of how politics is going to play out and how our political positions are going to play out to a different market in 30 years.
00:44:25.000But I'm sure now you've got a lot of Californians who are seriously hurting from taxes and from litter and from drugs and all kinds of other problems.
00:44:33.000Dilapidated schools and public buildings.
00:44:48.000That add nothing, people that don't follow the rules, people that broke in illegally, and I'm sure they're not happy about it.
00:44:54.000So, as I said, what more can be said about illegal immigration and how indefensible it is that has not already been said?
00:45:02.000And we've talked about all the different dimensions to that conversation, and at this point a lot of it just sounds tired and impotent, honestly.
00:45:09.000But to me, what is more interesting is that this is a little bit of a test run for what our country's going to look like.
00:45:18.000Do you think that when the coronavirus pandemic hits and it's in the full swing and we've got the recession and this public health emergency, do you feel better or worse about our prospects?
00:45:27.000Do you think that our message is more appealing or less appealing?
00:45:31.000In a time of crisis, you look at how people are right now and what's going through their heads, do you think that our message is more appealing to them now than it was before?
00:45:41.000And to me, I think the answer is obvious.
00:45:52.000And I'm very optimistic based on that.
00:45:54.000I think that people are really and rapidly coming around, maybe not totally to our way of thinking, but definitely leaning with this.
00:46:02.000I think nationalism is definitely ascendant during this crisis.
00:46:06.000And as I said, this is a taste of what is to come in the future.
00:46:09.000More crises, more black swan events, an overall decline in the standard of living.
00:46:15.000And so, when I think about those two things, about how nationalism is appealing now, and where the country is headed in the future, it's not hard to see who will inherit politics in the 21st century.
00:46:27.000And that's kind of the message at this point.
00:46:58.000Why didn't you just infiltrate Fox News?
00:47:01.000Why didn't you get the job at Daily Wire and take the trip to Israel and work your way up the ladder?
00:47:06.000That's what a lot of people told me I should have done.
00:47:08.000And I made a very conscious decision three years ago based on that idea.
00:47:12.000I said the country is going, well there were some other considerations, but one among them was I said the country is going this way and that is only going to benefit our ideology.
00:47:23.000And it's not really even a cynical or a
00:47:26.000You know, sinister plot or anything, but it's just a writing on the wall.
00:47:30.000These problems are going to get worse and the policies in place will exacerbate them.
00:47:55.000You know that that to me if a lot of people say I don't know how you're so white pilled and I still get that this is how but we're gonna move on and we're gonna talk about the origin of the virus and then I guess we'll just call it a night because we don't have any super chats let me check and see okay it looks like hey it looks like super chats are back right it looks like I got it well maybe not looks like I got a couple looks like I got two two lemons so maybe we'll have a couple of super chats
00:48:27.000Okay, but in any case, we're going to talk about this.
00:48:30.000We'll see where we are at the end, and if there are, I'll read them.
00:48:42.000It says, quote, coronavirus originated in a Wuhan laboratory not as a bioweapon, but as part of China's effort to demonstrate that its efforts to identify and combat viruses are equal to or greater than the capabilities of the United States, according to multiple sources who have been briefed on the details of early actions by China's government and seen relevant materials.
00:49:05.000This may be, quote, the costliest government cover-up of all time, said one of the sources.
00:49:10.000The sources believe the initial transmission of the virus was bat to human and that patient zero worked at the laboratory, then went into the population in Wuhan.
00:49:20.000Asked by Fox News' John Roberts about the reporting, President Trump remarked at Wednesday's briefing, saying, quote, More and more we're hearing the story.
00:49:29.000We are doing a very thorough examination of this horrible situation.
00:49:33.000Documents detail early efforts by doctors at the lab and early efforts at containment.
00:49:38.000The Wuhan wet market, initially identified as a possible point of origin, never sold bats.
00:49:44.000And the sources tell Fox News that blaming the wet market was an effort by China to deflect blame from the laboratory, along with the country's propaganda efforts targeting the U.S.
00:49:54.000embassy officials warned in January 2018 about inadequate safety at the Wuhan Institute of Virology lab
00:50:01.000And passed on information about scientists conducting risky research on coronavirus from bats, according to the Washington Post.
00:50:10.000China 100% suppressed data and changed data according to the sources.
00:50:16.000Samples were destroyed, contaminated areas scrubbed.
00:50:19.000According to some early reports, there were doctors and journalists who were disappeared, warning of the spread of the virus and its contagious nature and human-to-human transmission.
00:50:29.000China moved quickly to shut down travel domestically from Wuhan to the rest of China, but did not stop international flights from Wuhan.
00:50:37.000Additionally, the sources tell Fox News that the World Health Organization was complicit from the beginning in helping China to cover its tracks.
00:50:45.000And so it seems like all of this is finally confirmed.
00:50:50.000And I think maybe the most obvious assumption or speculation, which is that very clearly the virus came from a laboratory.
00:50:58.000And according to these sources, the virus came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
00:51:03.000And apparently it wasn't supposed to be a bioweapon.
00:51:06.000It was part of China's effort to demonstrate that it could identify and combat viruses and demonstrating their ability in comparison to the United States, which is kind of ironic.
00:51:52.000But the worst part of it all, to me, the most harm that was done, was their decision not to shut down the international flights.
00:52:00.000Because you could say that if they shut down the international flights, well, I mean, maybe this would have been a horrible scandal in China that brought China to its knees, or whatever.
00:52:08.000But, of course, they knew how bad it was, and so they protected their own country, but they did not protect anybody else.
00:52:15.000You might say that they deliberately left their flights going.
00:52:18.000They might have deliberately left over and opened their airports and travel into and out of China because maybe they knew that if it was going to hurt China, they would want it to hurt everyone else as well so that there would not be an advantage by the other countries against China.
00:52:58.000If what they were telling us was true, and I don't think this myth even made sense on day one, but if what they were telling us was true about the wet market, that would have been bad enough.
00:53:06.000That would have been criminal negligence.
00:53:20.000If they knew about the virus, what they should have done, and you know this, is to go to the WHO and go to the United Nations and go to America and tell them what happened, the nature of the virus, and so on.
00:53:32.000And it wouldn't have been a good look, and maybe there would have been consequences, but it would have infected the whole world.
00:53:37.000You wouldn't have 2 million infections, 30,000 dead Americans.
00:53:41.00010% unemployment and it's, you know, getting higher every day.
00:53:59.000We have to fix our own country first and cooperate for the time being because we're in a vulnerable position but once we reach some degree of stabilization we have to crush China.
00:54:10.000I think there's no other acceptable outcome here.
00:54:13.000They crippled our country and they did that knowingly.
00:54:18.000And they did that in ways that not only hurt our economy, but hurt our people.
00:54:22.000You know, more people will have died from this than in 9-11.
00:54:25.000We went to war in Afghanistan, over 3,000 dead from a non-state actor.
00:54:30.000There should be a serious consequence for 68,000 dead from a government and from a similar level of negligence happening.
00:54:39.000So I don't know what that's going to look like if that is hard-hitting sanctions, expulsion from supranational institutions.
00:54:45.000Maybe we just destroy these institutions, especially the World Health Organization.
00:54:49.000I don't even know what should be done at that point.
00:54:52.000But what is clear is that everything that we have been saying on this show, America First, and everything that America First people have been saying for 30 years, is completely vindicated.
00:55:03.000In the sense that globalization has betrayed us.
00:55:07.000Has there ever been a more clear-cut and obvious example of globalization actively betraying us than this?
00:55:14.000You could say that globalization harmed us, or maybe there were bad externalities or bad effects.
00:55:20.000But in this case, our own supranational institutions, the World Health Organization, and our own greatest trading partner, biggest trading partner, biggest importer, or biggest exporter rather,
00:55:34.000Two things of our creation in the last 30 years under this myth of liberal internationalism and capitalism and free markets and free trade, and they turned around and they brought this to our shores.
00:55:46.000They brought this to our neighborhoods, our schools, our workplaces, our nursing homes, and they killed us.
00:55:51.000They drew blood and they crippled our economy.
00:56:57.000So if this is the origin of the virus and we'll see we'll see in the coming days and weeks what comes of this.
00:57:03.000It sounded to me like if you saw the press conference that the president knows something that we don't.
00:57:08.000It sounds like more information is imminent because the way he addressed this question was almost a tacit admission that it was correct and then very quickly moved on.
00:57:20.000He said about this question from Fox News.
00:57:23.000He said, well, this is one of the few times you could say there are sources.
00:57:27.000Because normally, he says, well, the press makes up sources.
00:57:30.000They say, oh, an unnamed source says X, Y, and Z. And this Fox News reporter, John Roberts, said, well, sources say that the virus came from a laboratory.
00:57:40.000And Trump said, this is one of the few cases when you can say there are sources.
00:57:44.000He said, but it's a terrible thing and we're going to move on.
00:57:49.000I think we're going to hear more about this and maybe we'll get it confirmed and if that's the case just as I've been saying
00:57:55.000I think, you know, the next thing that's going to happen is Trump is going to win re-election, but I hope that we're going to see an unchained Trump.
00:58:02.000If we had Trump in 2016 talking about China and Mexico and all the rest the way he was, imagine Trump 2020 talking about all these things and acting on all these things based on what happened now.
00:58:26.000There are good signs that he's adjourning Congress and issuing cash payments with his name on it and things like that but we need to seriously take it a step further and I hope that when all is said and done and Trump leaves office that the world is unrecognizable because of what we did to China and what we did to these international institutions because at this point there's no excuse not to.
00:59:26.000If we were just straight-up racist about it, and we said, China, they're irresponsible, they don't know what they're doing, no more Chinese people in the country, it would have prevented this.
00:59:37.000And if we were all the things that they said Trump was, which is hyper-nationalist, and a chauvinist, and America alone, and America first, and xenophobic, this wouldn't have happened.
00:59:48.000So China knowingly was infecting us and they were saying that we were the bad guys for being skeptical of them, or being tough on them, for screening them.
00:59:58.000And I hope that in the same way that Trump unveiled that television at his press conference the other day, showing how the media lied about it back then, I hope he'll show the same clips next week when we find out that China knowingly did this, covered it up, and they deliberately infected our country and destroyed our economy.
01:00:15.000Because I don't think that these international institutions would ever recover from it if Trump actually made this a play, and he actually pushed the issue on this.
01:00:23.000And I know a lot of people would feel the same.
01:00:25.000And suddenly, you know, Chicken Little knows what he's talking about, right?
01:00:31.000All these people who for years they told us, even Joe Biden,
01:00:36.000Who said throughout this campaign, and that's gonna be even better too, that's gonna be the sprinkles.
01:00:41.000If the Nancy Pelosi Chinatown stuff was the icing, then Joe Biden telling us for years that China's not our enemy, they're good people, Jack!
01:00:49.000They're not our rival, we gotta work together!
01:00:52.000That's just gonna be the sprinkles, that's gonna be the, uh, you know, M&Ms and everything else on top come the election, when after all is said and done with this virus, it will have been China's fault, and we'll have clips of Joe Biden saying throughout that
01:01:04.000They're actually great people, you know?
01:01:06.000So, I know a lot of people are feeling the same way.
01:01:20.000Even Zoomers that don't give a shit about politics.
01:01:23.000It's like their concert, their graduation, birthday party, whatever.
01:01:28.000Their sports season got canceled because of China.
01:01:32.000We're gonna have a whole generation of nationalists, zoomers, and certainly there'll be a lot of converts with the Millennials and everybody else as well.
01:01:41.000The only argument that they have is this hydroxychloroquine.
01:01:44.000They're grasping at straws because the media knows that if Trump went balls to the wall on this, he's got enough ammunition to finish them off for good.
