00:01:22.000Well, I never went outside to begin with, okay?
00:01:26.000Most people, and I tell you this, like, every day, everybody's getting stir-crazy because they can't go to work, or they can't go to restaurants, they, you know, women are mad because they can't have sex with strangers every day.
00:03:43.000I don't have all the details in front of me.
00:03:46.000I do, but I don't want to read them right now.
00:03:48.000I'm gonna read them later, later tonight.
00:03:51.000But Italy, France, Germany, they're seeing some of their numbers go down.
00:03:56.000Spain as well, the number of new confirmed cases on a day-to-day basis is going down.
00:04:02.000number of daily dead people from coronavirus is going down so it looks like Europe may have peaked in some places obviously it's still a problem it's still a threat but it looks like maybe their peak week so to speak has passed in some ways so they're having conversations about what the exit plan is now
00:04:47.000We'll talk about what's happening in the United States, particularly in New York.
00:04:52.000The Surgeon General today, during the press conference, got in front of the microphone and said that this week is going to be our 9-11.
00:05:00.000This week is going to be Pearl Harbor.
00:05:02.000This is going to be the worst week of your life.
00:05:06.000And that's probably true, that for a lot of these hotspots, you're going to see the peak death totals, peak new cases, peak hospitalizations, things like that.
00:05:16.000But in New York City, they're seeing hospitalizations going down on a day-to-day basis, and they're also seeing the number of people discharged from the hospital go up.
00:05:28.000So it seems like maybe peak week for New York City may have already happened.
00:05:35.000I don't know if you guys watched the press conference today by Governor Cuomo, but he showed a number of different charts and graphs, and they have a new curve for deaths now, which is way lower than anything that had been projected or anticipated.
00:05:51.000So maybe that gives us an idea of what it'll be like everywhere else.
00:05:54.000We're watching hotspots like New Orleans, Detroit.
00:05:59.000Our two of the big ones, LA, Washington State, obviously the big cities.
00:06:03.000So we'll talk a little bit about what's happening in the U.S.
00:06:07.000and that, I think, should be our show.
00:06:09.000The other big development, which we might as well just knock out right now, is that Boris Johnson is now in, what is it, critical condition?
00:06:17.000Let me read the report for you exactly.
00:06:20.000It says, Boris Johnson has been moved to intensive care.
00:06:24.000After the Prime Minister's condition deteriorated on Monday afternoon, he was diagnosed with the coronavirus two weeks ago and had been suffering from persistent symptoms.
00:06:34.000In a statement on Monday evening, Downing Street said his condition worsened after being admitted to St.
00:06:40.000Thomas Hospital in London on Sunday with a high temperature and persistent cough.
00:06:46.000Mr. Johnson remains conscious at this time, but was moved to intensive care at 7 p.m.
00:06:53.000local time in case he requires ventilation to aid his recovery from the virus.
00:06:58.000So, it's not looking good for Boris Johnson.
00:07:01.000It's been well known that he has the coronavirus, but he's in intensive care.
00:07:06.000They might be putting him on the ventilator.
00:07:15.000I don't know a ton about Boris Johnson.
00:07:17.000I don't follow British politics too closely, but he's obviously of the Conservative Party, and some people might say, well, they're not really right-wing, or they're not that conservative, but, you know, he's, broadly speaking, on our side, and he delivered the Brexit, and he's done some good things over there, and he seems like a charming, nice enough guy.
00:07:43.000There is something, I don't know, fitting or maybe ironic about the fact that Boris Johnson is now in intensive care because if you remember Boris Johnson was one of the European politicians when the outbreak first started in Europe.
00:07:58.000What did he say about how we were eventually going to deal with this?
00:08:03.000He said that we will have to develop herd immunity and 70% of the population will have to get the virus.
00:08:13.000I mean, maybe that's inevitable, but that's an interesting thing to say.
00:08:16.000Maybe two or three weeks ago he said that, well, everybody's gonna have to get it, and now he's getting it, and now he's not doing so well.
00:08:22.000And I don't think that's a good thing.
00:08:27.000And like I said, seems like an alright guy, but it's kind of ironic, right, that a lot of these leaders that are in charge, and they're talking about the sacrifices that normal people might have to make, and then to see them get affected, it's like, well, you know, we really are all in this together now, all of a sudden.
00:08:44.000And I have to say, there is something about the nature of this crisis, which I do kind of like that.
00:08:50.000It's not that I like that anybody's getting sick, I don't like that people are dying,
00:08:56.000But I feel like with a lot of crises that we talk about the rich and the powerful people in government just basically aren't affected.
00:09:06.000Even like with this recession for example.
00:09:09.000The recession that was brought about by the coronavirus.
00:09:12.000We talked a couple weeks ago about that senator and I think there was a congresswoman who sold all their stocks
00:09:20.000They sold like 600, the one guy, Burr I think is his name, he sold $600,000 to $1.3 million worth of stocks right before the coronavirus hit.
00:09:29.000And he knew because he was the chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
00:09:33.000And so he was getting all these classified reports that nobody else was getting.
00:09:38.000He knew the severity before anybody else did, before the media did, before he told anybody because he changed his tune right away.
00:09:46.000And so even with the recession, the economic crisis brought on by coronavirus, like any other crisis, economic or weather related or war or whatever else, he was safe, totally unaffected, and that is always how it goes.
00:10:02.000Whenever there's a crisis, we pay the price and everybody else is okay.
00:10:07.000And I have to say, maybe that's the one, I don't know if I like that about coronavirus,
00:10:13.000That now actors are getting taken down and government people are getting taken down and I don't want to see anybody die but there is something about the virus that they've been saying about and it's the great equalizer.
00:10:26.000And there is something I think natural about that to say, at least with this, they're sharing in the misery that normally everybody else has to endure, and they're okay.
00:13:41.000Streamlabs, you know what Streamlabs did?
00:13:43.000They made it so that, like, the screen that you're seeing right now, if you're watching, of course, on DLive, it's like most of the screen is the video playback, right?
00:13:55.000Like most of your monitor, what's on your monitor, what's on your webpage, if you're in full screen, the whole monitor is the video.
00:14:03.000But if you're not in full screen, it's like most of the page.
00:14:06.000Streamlabs, which is my broadcasting software, what I can see is like this much.
00:14:12.000If like this is my monitor, the video is like this big.
00:14:15.000So it's like I can't... They made this update and they filled it up with a bunch of shit, so you can't see anything.
00:14:21.000It's like, we'll just make the video play back this tiny, tiny window.
00:16:21.000France and Germany really exploding over the weekend in the past week.
00:16:37.000China they are staying steady here at 83,000 Iran 60,500 and the United Kingdom up to 51,608 so big increase for the UK and across the world we are up to 1.3 million confirmed coronavirus cases so it's getting pretty pretty wild but that being said the numbers are stabilizing they've stabilized in China although that number is a lie
00:17:24.000The thing that you have to keep in mind with a lot of these numbers is all of this was made possible by the social distancing.
00:17:30.000Here's maybe the worst part about this virus is it appears that we, and it's very early, but it's a little bit early to say this, it appears that we've staved off the worst.
00:18:04.000You know, tens of thousands of people dying.
00:18:06.000They say that it's expected to peak at around 2,600 dead per day in the middle of this week.
00:18:12.000So, the number could go way past what it was for swine flu, but it doesn't look like it's gonna get up to 100,000 anytime soon, which, you know, they were saying that that was the low-end estimate, was 100,000.
00:18:24.000And you know that a lot of people, if we don't get to 100,000,
00:19:15.000You told me not to eat at a restaurant and only 20,000 people died.
00:19:21.000And it's like, of course, the only reason that the numbers were this low is because we acted quickly and we acted dramatically to shut down the country.
00:19:32.000Right, to implement social distancing, to shut down schools, businesses, and so on.
00:19:37.000Because of course, if the virus spread this much, 364,000 cases, and that's only what we've tested, it's still 30,000 new cases per day, we're probably going to get up to a million cases at least.
00:19:48.000It seems like right now, and we don't know when that number is going to taper off, but I mean, we're going to have a significant amount of cases.
00:20:14.000Because it's a new virus, it's the novel coronavirus, because it's new, we have no natural immunity to it.
00:20:21.000And so if we have no natural immunity to it, if you don't literally take people off the streets and keep them inside, then anybody who comes into contact with somebody who has the virus may catch it or carry it, spread it, and so on.
00:20:36.000And so it was absolutely necessary that you did the social distancing.
00:20:40.000It's not like the flu because with the flu you have immunity.
00:20:43.000You could be exposed to somebody that has the flu and not catch it.
00:20:47.000You could be exposed to somebody that has the flu and not die from it.
00:20:51.000The other thing that's good is we're figuring out that a lot of the people that are getting it are asymptomatic.
00:21:30.000They're not showing up in any data and so the amount of people that are dying from coronavirus looks like it's a much higher percentage if you're only looking at the smaller percentage of all people that have coronavirus that have mild or severe symptoms as opposed to people that have none.
00:21:47.000So that's the other that's the other thing that's changing that's the other variable but
00:21:52.000Yeah, I think that by the end of it, I won't be one of the people saying, that was excessive, that was too much, it was necessary, and you know, and then again, if it wasn't as bad as people said, then that's a good thing too, right?
00:22:05.000But those are our latest numbers, it keeps going up in the U.S., and we'll keep an eye on that.
00:22:10.000Like I said, it's obviously stabilizing in Europe, but the United States, they keep seeing the numbers go up.
00:22:19.000We're going to move on and we're going to talk about some of these other developments here that have been in the news about where we're headed now in the coming weeks.
00:22:30.000Okay, see now I can see myself a little bit better.
00:24:40.000They have provinces or states, but you know what I'm saying.
00:24:43.000You've got the national level, you've got the state or the provincial level actions, and then you've got the economy.
00:24:48.000So really there's three major subsets of the coronavirus, three major elements that you're talking about, and it looks like the virus has basically been figured out from a public health point of view, and I don't mean that it's been totally figured out, but you know what I'm saying.
00:25:05.000The testing is basically taken care of, right?
00:25:09.000It seems like they're figuring out this hydroxychloroquine might be an effective treatment, but not a lot of effective treatments besides that.
00:25:17.000They've been putting people on the ventilators, you know, they're sort of figuring out what to do when people have it.
00:25:23.000And then the medical supplies and resources, doesn't seem like there's a big problem with that in the United States.
00:25:32.000We were anticipating there would be major shortages of ventilators and respirators and hospital beds and at least today it doesn't seem like that's a big problem.
00:25:42.000I don't know if that's gonna get drastically worse in the next 48 to 72 hours but it seems to me like it's not as bad as it was in Italy and America yet.
00:25:53.000But it seems like basically the public health is taking care of.
00:25:56.000The other element, and these are the big elements we're going to have to be dealing with for the next year, right, or for the next six months at least, which is how do we wind down this emergency stuff, the emergency measures for social distancing?
00:26:11.000In other words, what does a return to normal look like?
00:26:14.000And I say return to normal because it's not, I mean, we're never going to go back to before coronavirus.
00:26:20.000But how do we get people back to work?
00:26:46.000I mean that's literally and it's obvious.
00:26:48.000You lift all the restrictions and the first thing that happens is everybody's going to go back out to eat and they're going to go to the clubs and the bars and everybody's going to be on summer vacation and you're going to have literally another coronavirus outbreak immediately after the first one subsided, right?
00:27:06.000So they're going to have to lift it in steps and they're going to have to lift it with new and different restrictions in place like the temperature checks and so on.
00:27:14.000And then we're gonna have to deal with the economy, you know, as people get
00:27:41.000The stock market, I don't believe, will rebound right away back to
00:27:45.000I mean the stock market dropped 35% so I don't think it's gonna go back 35% right out of the gate because not everybody's gonna get back to work right away and obviously the whole world is still dealing with the coronavirus and we might see the coronavirus explode in Latin America like it did in Europe.
00:28:03.000I mean I don't know what the global outbreak is gonna look like but you know there's gonna be global macroeconomic effects for this and also even in America things are not just gonna pick up
00:28:31.000It says quote there are tentative hopes in Europe that the coronavirus outbreak could be slowing as a number of new infections and fatalities starts to slow down according to data over the weekend.
00:28:43.000The figures are prompting European leaders to look for an exit strategy to national lockdowns while urging the public to maintain discipline while the apparent recovery from the outbreak is in its infancy.
00:28:55.000Italy, the epicenter of Europe's pandemic, reported its lowest daily coronavirus death toll for more than two weeks on Sunday.
00:29:04.000Lowest daily death toll for two weeks.
00:29:08.000The Civil Protection Agency said there had been a rise of 525 deaths from a day earlier, which is the smallest daily increase since March 19th.
00:29:18.000On Saturday there had been a rise of 681 deaths and the day before that a rise of 766 deaths.
00:29:25.000So the numbers are going in the right direction.
00:29:28.000In Spain, which now has a higher number of infections than Italy, the rate of new infections and deaths also continued to decline this weekend.
00:29:36.000Sunday's rise in the number of deaths was about half the rate reported a week ago.
00:30:30.000In other words, they're saying that if you've already had the virus or if you've been exposed to it and not infected, if you have immunity, and I don't know who's going to determine that and how they're going to determine that,
00:30:41.000But they're saying that they may lift the restrictions for people that are immune and not for those that are not.
00:30:48.000And you'll have to go around and I don't know what that looks like if that's an ID badge, if that's a chip.
00:30:54.000If that's a piece of paper, I don't know.
00:30:57.000Maybe a letter from a doctor, I'm not sure.
00:31:00.000But they're talking about this idea of the immunity passport.
00:31:03.000And you know, to me, this is where I start to wade into conspiracy territory.
00:31:09.000For the duration of this pandemic, I have avoided that because I think that it's legitimate.
00:31:15.000I think the coronavirus is real, and it is deadly, and it is a real public health emergency.
00:32:37.000But seriously, for most people, and really for any kind of mass movement or any individual,
00:32:45.000This is the tricky part, the reintegration.
00:32:48.000Now the government gets to say who gets to go back and who doesn't and what does a public gathering look like post-coronavirus because it's still out there and there will still be outbreaks.
00:32:59.000Isolated places, hopefully, but you'll see outbreaks after the major ones subsided.
00:33:08.000And so the government is obviously going to have to put into place some kind of restrictions, but what is that going to look like?
00:33:15.000In Europe they're going to have to start to answer those questions.
00:33:18.000As the number of infections goes down and the number of deaths go down, coronavirus will still be there and it will still be waiting in the wings to break out whenever there are mass gatherings, things like that.
00:33:32.000When the weather gets bad again, right?
00:33:34.000When the weather cools in the fall, it's going to be waiting for another outbreak.
00:33:39.000And so a lot of these governments in Europe, in Italy, in Germany, Spain, the UK, they're going to have to determine
00:33:47.000What is that reintegration going to look like?
00:33:49.000And there's a way I think that is reasonable to do that and a way that is not reasonable.
00:33:55.000To me, the way that is reasonable is that in major population centers you're going to have to have more restrictions than in rural or suburban areas, right?
00:34:05.000Because in a major urban area you're looking at subways,
00:34:09.000Airports, you're looking at very very busy and high-density buildings like bars and hotels and restaurants and things like that.
00:34:18.000So obviously in the big cities there's gonna have to be more restrictions than outside the cities.
00:34:23.000That to me is like a very basic principle.
00:34:26.000Another basic principle is that the elderly should have more restrictions than the young.
00:34:32.000And I know people have been saying that, well, that's a bad idea because the young can spread it to the elderly, but obviously young people, even though they can theoretically, and do in some cases, develop severe cases of the virus or die, that happens at a much lower rate than it does for old people.
00:34:50.000Old people are the ones that really have to be terrified.
00:34:52.000So there should be more restrictions for the elderly and less so for healthy people.
00:34:57.000For young people and for, you know, adults generally, right?
00:35:01.000And I think those are reasonable principles to approach this.
00:35:05.000And things that are just common sense.
00:35:16.000These seem to me to be very common sense, basic precautions that if implemented on a widespread scale would prevent a major outbreak from the coronavirus.
00:35:26.000Public health experts have said as much about Japan.
00:35:31.000Japan, everybody in Japan wears masks.
00:35:34.000And in Japan, even though they made a lot of the same mistakes that we did and that Europe did and South Korea did as far as containing the outbreak, in Japan they all wear masks.
00:35:45.000And that went a long way in preventing a major outbreak.
00:35:48.000You don't see Japan breaking out like South Korea or like any of these other countries.
00:35:54.000And if we just took those basic precautions like masks, hand sanitizer, maybe some restrictions in the cities and less outside, some for the elderly in nursing homes and things like that.
00:37:41.000You look at globalization, you look at China and hygiene and sanitation standards, do you seriously think it's impossible that a pandemic could legitimately happen?
00:37:53.000I've been saying this for years, that we are due for a pandemic.
00:37:57.000I've been, and I can't pinpoint exactly when I said this, I've done, you know, 600 shows, but
00:38:03.000I do recall having said this before in the past that we're going to see a major pandemic in the United States and it's not hard to see why.
00:38:11.000You've got countries in West Africa or in Asia or in the Middle East where they just have no health standards.
00:38:18.000And the level of connectivity that they have with the world, with travel and commerce and shipping, it's like a no-brainer that this would happen.
00:38:28.000So I'm not one of these people that would say, oh, every time something goes wrong, it must be a New World Order plot.
00:38:34.000I mean, certainly we have to be on our guard for that and we have to be vigilant and pay attention to the facts and the details.
00:38:40.000But I also do believe that these things just happen.
00:38:43.000You can actually just have a pandemic.
00:38:45.000We haven't had one in a hundred years.
00:38:47.000Do you think that we've eliminated pestilence?
00:39:16.000And they paved the way for a response that expands their power and expands their control or something just happens and all the same their response is to implement more control and to expand their jurisdiction, right?
00:39:30.000So whether it's manufactured or real is really irrelevant when we're talking about the solution or the return to normalcy.
00:40:55.000And we have to stop the spread of the virus because it's killing tons of people and it has bad potential.
00:41:00.000And we also don't know enough about it.
00:41:02.000We don't know what the death rate looks like.
00:41:04.000We still don't know exactly what it looks like.
00:41:07.000It seems like over the past few weeks the death rate has been getting better because the number of people that have it has been growing.
00:41:13.000The death rate gets smaller because we've been discovering that tons of people have it that are asymptomatic, right?
00:41:19.000So, it's better to be safe than sorry, and I've said that, but now I'm saying the opposite.
00:41:24.000It's actually better to be sorry than safe.
00:41:26.000I would rather have everybody get released out, maybe not all at once, but none of this bullshit with microchips and tattoos and papers and things like that, but that everybody gets to come out of hiding, gets to come out of their shelter in place,
00:41:41.000Even if in stages because the alternative is that the government is going to do some very weird wonky things that is definitely going to pave the way for what they have in China.
00:41:52.000And what they have in China is mass surveillance on a level that we don't even have yet.
00:41:57.000And that's not to say that we don't have mass surveillance.
00:42:34.000People are saying, oh, you know, Bill Gates is going to microchip you.
00:42:37.000I don't know if that's going to happen anytime soon, but we also should be weary about that.
00:42:42.000When I hear this stuff about immunity passports, this tells me that the government is going to say, you have to come see us before you return to your normal life.
00:43:10.000And it seems like a photo ID would not be, like, the hardest thing in the world.
00:43:14.000But if they say, oh, we're gonna have to, like, you know, put a chip or a tattoo or something, you know, and I don't know, maybe that sounds crazy to some of you, but I have heard some, some, you know, whispering about this.
00:43:29.000And you know, the internet, sometimes you gotta take it with a grain of salt, but it's also something we should be wary about.
00:43:34.000I don't want this coronavirus thing to turn into a global citizenship program where everybody's in a database and everybody's got a, you know, 5G chip reader in their head.
00:43:46.000And I don't know if it's gonna get that way, but it's just definitely something to be aware about as we enter into this new phase of sort of ramping down this de-escalation
00:43:58.000I think there are definitely some reasonable precautions, but none of that requires anything that was alien to us two months ago.
00:44:06.000It's as simple as you put a hand sanitizer dispenser outside of every workplace, every school, outside of meeting rooms, conference rooms, things like that.
00:44:34.000If somebody has a fever, you quarantine them and you keep an eye on everybody around them.
00:44:39.000You know, these seem to me to be like reasonable and extremely effective measures.
00:44:44.000The problem with not doing a shelter-in-place, here's the problem with
00:44:51.000Here's the basis of the shelter-in-place.
00:44:53.000When you tell everybody to go home, and it affects everybody, and you disrupt everybody's life for a month, people realize the severity of it.
00:45:01.000And when they get back, I feel like people will be a lot more cognizant and conscientious about the spread of the virus.
00:45:09.000If we had never sheltered in place and the government said, hey everybody, please be careful!
00:45:14.000Do you think people are going to be careful?
00:45:19.000If it involves a minor inconvenience for people, the smallest inconvenience, people don't want to participate.
00:45:25.000You shelter everybody in place, and I think that was a necessary step regardless, but returning to public life with these precautions in place, to me, is going to be a lot easier.
00:45:38.000To me, that seems like a one-time only deal.
00:45:41.000You do that once, you control the spread, you figure it out, you put everything on lockdown while you gather more information, and you stop the initial and maybe the worst phase of the spread, and then you also get control of the reintegration.
00:45:53.000And it is on your terms to what extent people can go about their daily lives, and if that means something as simple as masks and temperature checks and all that, hand sanitizer, then that makes a lot of sense.
00:46:03.000And once people go back out and you've implemented a regime that is serious and put together and aware of the severity,
00:46:10.000Then all these small measures, which may seem like a no-brainer, become extremely, extremely effective, and you don't have to do a shelter-in-place.
00:46:18.000Maybe if it gets really bad next season, but that to me seems like the best course of action, me being the expert.
00:46:25.000That seems to me to be like a reasonable course of action, but, you know, when they talk about these passports, I start to think, I don't know, what is that gonna look like?
00:46:35.000I don't know this microchip, this ID 2020 thing.
00:46:39.000I'm not a believer that that's on its way anytime soon.
00:48:25.000It has satellites, so it shows where you are.
00:48:28.000You pour your most intimate personal information in it, either willingly or unwillingly, with your searches, and your contact information, your text messages, your emails, your phone calls, your social media, your passwords, your banking information.
00:49:15.000You know, you think they've got a... No, but the day that they drag me to the doctor and inject me with a microchip, that's when we got to be worried.
00:50:05.000They have satellites now that can hear you.
00:50:07.000I mean, and I don't know the exact details about this, but where it's like, even if you don't have a phone anywhere near you, even if you're in the middle of the woods, they can still, if it's targeted, use satellites or drones.
00:50:40.000Most people don't even bother to have guns because you need a FOID or a carry permit or at least that's what it is in Chicago.
00:50:47.000But that's where most of the people live is in major cities.
00:50:51.000And they don't have to take your guns.
00:50:52.000Why would they need to take your guns?
00:50:55.000They already have control of the courts, they control academia, they control Hollywood, they control the media, I mean they control everything.
00:51:05.000And you're just like at home with your gun while they change everything outside of your home.
00:51:13.000I don't... and inside too with your TV and trade and...
00:51:19.000You know, you imagine, and it's kind of sad actually, you imagine your archetypal Archie Bunker, your archetypal, uh, who's the, uh, from my cold dead hands, who's that, who's that, uh, Charlton Heston.
00:51:34.000You imagine your archetypal Charlton Heston and Archie Bunker standing on guard in the heartland of the country in Kentucky or
00:51:43.000You know, wherever, in Alabama or someplace, maybe even in, you know, the Rust Belt would be more apropos, in Michigan or Pennsylvania, standing on guard over their town with their AR-15.
00:51:58.000And over the past 50 years, the factories have closed, right?
00:53:44.000Surgeon General Jerome Adams warned Sunday amid the coronavirus pandemic that the week ahead would be the hardest and the saddest of most Americans' lives.
00:53:53.000He said this is going to be the hardest and the saddest week of most Americans' lives.
00:53:58.000This is going to be our Pearl Harbor moment, our 9-11 moment.
00:54:03.000It's going to be happening all over the country.
00:54:07.000He added, however, that there is, quote, a light at the end of the tunnel if everyone does their part for the next 30 days.
00:54:14.000There is hope, but we've also got to all do our part.
00:54:17.000So, we are entering peak week in America across the country, which is peak death, peak daily deaths from coronavirus, peak daily confirmed cases.
00:54:58.000To give you an idea, swine flu killed 14,000.
00:55:01.000We're at 11,000 now and it's going up more than a thousand every day and the rate will keep going up until we hit maybe 2,500 by the end of this week or two weeks.
00:55:13.000I mean that that's what we're talking about.
00:55:14.000So you're talking about something like
00:55:16.000You know, what is that, another 30-40,000 people dead at least on top of this?
00:55:21.000So this is gonna be a pretty serious event.
00:55:24.000Lots of people dead and it's gonna start to get real.
00:56:22.000The mounting number of New York's coronavirus deaths has stayed effectively flat over the past two days, according to Governor Andrew Cuomo.
00:56:30.000While the state has recorded 4,700 total deaths with an additional 600 from the day before, it's only a slight uptick from the 594 added two days ago.
00:56:41.000And this shows a possible flattening of the curve that is better than the increases that we have seen.
00:56:48.000Cuomo added that total hospitalizations, intensive care unit admissions, and intubations are down, crediting how people are largely adhering to social distancing guidelines in place over the past three weeks and are following a new way of life.
00:57:03.000So it looks like in the United States, in New York City at least, which is the biggest epicenter in the U.S.,
00:57:11.000It looks like at least in New York City, the numbers are stabilizing and may be beginning to go down.
00:57:18.000But across the country, in the other hotspots, in Detroit, in New Orleans, everywhere else, excuse me, we are going to see that it's going to get really, really bad.
00:57:58.000part of the virus and then we can finally get over that and begin to adjust right we can go back to our lives so this is a necessary and inevitable point that we've reached and the only way is through right that's the only way we can handle this is by going through it so
01:05:18.000I don't know if you can name many or even a single extremely successful self-made millionaire, billionaire, entrepreneur who got there by watching YouTube videos.
01:05:29.000Here's how you flip six houses in six months.
01:06:47.000So what are you doing to achieve your goals?
01:06:48.000Well, I'm going to community college, and I go to community college in the day, and then I work at McDonald's, and then I watch a master class at night, and I'm like gonna be an entrepreneur in no time.
01:07:00.000And certainly there are stories like this in some sense, but the vast majority... I mean, the people that do make it, they didn't make it because of these resources.
01:07:09.000They made it because they had something in them.
01:07:11.000And everybody else is just paying $180.
01:07:56.000When people know the reality of the situation, it might be unfair, it might be unfortunate or sad, but it's not cruel when the world just tells you the way it is.
01:08:07.000And that's how I prefer to live my life, is the world telling you the way it is.
01:08:13.000That's why I'm a very effective and pragmatic person, because
01:08:16.000And really, you know, just generally in a good mood and things like that, it's because I generally find that I'm not really under a ton of delusions about who I am or what I'm about or where I'm going.
01:09:03.000and they didn't expect anything more and you know if you don't you don't expect more well you can't be let down right you never have to like grapple with these expectations and maybe there's a balance I'm not saying that there should be no mobility I think a society should have mobility social and economic mobility that's a that's a fantastic thing and we should have a generally meritocratic and mobile society but
01:09:28.000But here's the thing, I think that we obviously have an excess of the other side of that coin.
01:09:35.000Everybody believes that they're, you know, I'm gonna be a superstar, I'm gonna be a YouTuber, I'm gonna be a singer, I'm gonna be a Hollywood celebrity, I'm gonna be famous and a millionaire, and I'm gonna be, you know, I'm gonna be like the Wolf of Wall Street.
01:09:48.000I'm at, uh, I'm at, I'm taking a business class.
01:09:52.000At a state school and I'm the Wolf of Wall Street.
01:09:55.000I've got a Robin Hood account and I'm gonna be making 50 million dollars a year and you know it's just like sad when people buy into that.
01:10:03.000I know so many people that are like this.
01:10:43.000Okay, anyway, so yeah, so those masterclasses are, those are gonna break the bank there, but it's an investment in your future.
01:10:51.000Hey, the way I see it, I pay $180 for this masterclass in investing, and I'm gonna make, I'm gonna make, be making millions of dollars on making Hollywood movies in no time.
01:11:38.000Was that that video that was on Telegram?
01:11:41.000I'm gonna be honest I watched like two minutes of it and I turned it off.
01:11:45.000It looked like it was a pretty good video and like well produced but I just don't have a ton of patience for like this e-drama type stuff.
01:11:53.000I mean to a degree I do but unless it's like highly engaging and short I just can't really you know
01:12:00.000When people do this YouTuber cadence, this like YouTuber speech pattern, which I talk about sometimes, the YouTuber speech pattern, it's like this very idiosyncratic cadence and tonality that YouTubers adopt when they're doing an expository video or an informative video.
01:12:26.000And I just can't, I hear that and it just
01:15:04.000So to speak, and it's obviously not comparable to being nailed to a cross or anything or, you know, not eating or drinking for 40 days, but certainly in our own way, we are doing our penance.
01:15:19.000And it's something to keep in mind during these times, right?
01:15:21.000Especially then the church teaching on pandemic has always been that it's a sign of God's wrath, right?
01:15:29.000It's something that we need to reflect on.
01:16:43.000so I put together some Legos and just like old times man fun as hell I miss the Legos they're so fun to put together such it's such a joy simply delight is exactly how I would describe it yeah you got I think that that is just the best real real patrician
01:17:05.000Hobby the Legos only only the real ones will understand the joy of putting together And it was a real like return to tradition for me because I remember building Legos, and I loved it I it was one of my favorite things, but the problem with when you're a kid is Legos are not cheap.
01:17:19.000They're pretty expensive and you buy them and You know some of the more sophisticated sets will take you maybe like six hours to build and
01:18:25.000With a lot of these organizations, that's the problem.
01:18:31.000But, you know, well, I will say about Turning Point USA it's sort of particularly bad because you've got all these weirdos.
01:18:38.000And then you've got all these young people.
01:18:40.000I mean, with a youth organization like Turning Point, it's especially weird because you've got these deviant political creatures working in an organization with high schoolers and college kids, which really says a lot, right?
01:18:53.000But I will say that you're gonna get that anywhere, frankly.
01:18:59.000And that's not to excuse Turning Point putting Benny Johnson in charge of anything, but
01:19:05.000You know, frankly, it's like, have you looked at public schools?
01:19:08.000I mean, any, like literally any organization, any institution that deals with children, they're gonna, pedophiles are gonna be drawn to that.
01:19:16.000So, you know, there's really only so much you can do.
01:19:20.000And even, frankly, the Catholic Church.
01:19:24.000That's like a sore spot for a lot of Catholics, but that's my defense for the Catholic Church.
01:19:29.000Is even in the Catholic Church, even in a Christian religious institution, you're going to have the proliferation of these kinds of problems.
01:19:39.000And you don't have a higher percentage of it in the Catholic Church, but you have it.
01:19:44.000And you have it in any institution that deals with children.
01:19:46.000Any institution, whether it's a school or it's a
01:19:50.000You know, you're coaching a team sport or it's a camp counselor.
01:19:55.000I mean, it's like anywhere that there are kids, it's like, you know, anywhere where there's money, there's going to be crooked people that want to steal money.
01:20:06.000There's going to be crooked types, crooked cheating types, or, you know, people just want to make money in some cases, right?
01:20:15.000just makes sense right it's like you know moths go to the flame fruit fly goes to fruit this is just how it goes and ants will go to a picnic so but somebody like Benny Johnson the thing that's bad is they know that this guy's a creep and they know that there are creeps floating around there so I guess that's what makes it bad that that is the part that is sick about it but
01:22:48.000My mom, when we were moving, I moved a few years ago and
01:23:05.000In the move we were transporting all the bins of Legos and we put each Lego set in a plastic bin with the instructions all the pieces right and she dropped like I don't know how many boxes but she dropped a few of them and the pieces go everywhere.
01:23:22.000And like, thinking about that now is honestly traumatizing.
01:23:27.000Especially for me, with my level of neuroticism and autism, that is like a nightmare that I cannot even describe.
01:23:39.000that that is in my mind the idea of having so many little pieces that are so critical you know it's a it'd be one thing if you drop like a you know a box of marbles but you drop a box of pieces and you don't know which pieces belong to which set like a logistical nightmare of tiny things that are difficult to account for
01:24:02.000The level of horror, like how terrifying that is to me, that is almost like my worst nightmare or something like that.
01:24:09.000I know it's not, you know, spilled milk, right?
01:24:12.000But just the idea that that happened, I don't know how that didn't make me malfunction, maybe because I was like an adult at that point, but...
01:24:21.000The thought of that if I went back and told my kid self that that happened I think I would literally die I think I would just pass out or die on the spot if somebody told me your precious Lego sets all the other pieces are gonna scatter everywhere and I think only some pieces fell out because how could that be possible that every piece would fall out you know she was able to put a thousand pieces back in minus 17 right but yeah
01:26:34.000favorite movies besides Joker I think I've answered this question how many times the worst part about the super chats is just like the same questions every week taxi driver is up there Star Wars 3 it's one of my increasingly you know now that I've rediscovered Star Wars becoming one of my favorites
01:27:06.000What a, what a, you know, what did he get his favorite from the IMDb list?
01:27:10.000You know, I've seen a lot of good movies, and I like a lot of the good movies, but honestly, the movies that I like are movies that I can just put on and just kind of, like, enjoy.
01:27:19.000The meme aspect of it, you know what I mean?
01:27:22.000Like, certain scenes that's just, like, low stakes and just kind of fun.
01:27:26.000I mean, there are movies that I could watch that are, like, dramatic or older movies.
01:27:45.000Impress you can I can I impress you with my knowledge?
01:27:49.000I'm trying to think of I used to be a big like movie buff It's been a long time since I really got into it What's my favorite like good movie what's my favorite movie that's Critically acclaimed.
01:28:02.000I don't know I'd have to think about that.
01:28:06.000Honestly, I have I definitely have something going on some kind of a mental problem because I Really just could do the same things over and over again like when it comes to music.
01:28:19.000I Know so much music But I almost exclusively listen to Kanye West for the past four years like that's it, you know and As far as movies go same with that.
01:28:32.000I've seen so many movies and I seen a lot of old and new movies
01:28:36.000But I just watch the same thing over and over again.
01:39:37.000And, you know, it might come because it's convenience or ease, but I mean, look, if you've got a fucking debit card and a bank account and a social security number and a phone,
01:39:50.000And like a router, like, you know, what more are they gonna figure out with a chip?
01:39:54.000I mean, maybe some of this biological information, but even in that case, I mean, you've already got Apple Watch and all kinds of things that are tracking that information anyway.
01:40:04.000They've got your medical records, so...
01:40:08.000Well, if they already control you, then why would they do the chemtrails?
01:47:03.000Then, I punch myself in the face a hundred times, just to toughen myself up.
01:47:10.000Then, I hit myself with a hammer a hundred times, because I'm tough, and because the body responds to stress, and this elevates my awareness.
01:49:54.000It's taking your time and turning it into, you know, this Pareto thing and it's about efficiency and optimizing and it's about competition and all this.
01:50:05.000And it's like you don't have lots of time.
01:50:07.000You have a limited amount of time and you never get it back.
01:50:36.000You see these people, I see like this guy on Twitter, what's his name?
01:50:40.000He's like 60-some years old, and he's like doing pull-ups, and he's like jacked, and he's like 65 years old, and look at me, I'm a stud!
01:50:47.000It's like, dude, you should be with your grandchildren, man.
01:50:50.000You should be on a rocking chair, drinking tea, and hanging out with your grandchildren.
01:50:55.000This guy's like doing pull-ups and posting
01:50:58.000shirtless pictures on twitter what what's wrong with you and to me that's what it's about it's a cult of vanity of the material it's about greed gluttony and ultimately it's a rejection of of death and that is that is like the most juvenile way that you can be is is to not accept
01:54:08.000Do mundane things, do boring things, self-sacrifice, you know, be upset.
01:54:13.000I think that's all part of the rich experience.
01:54:16.000You just kind of have to be, you have to resign yourself to just sort of be stoic and accept things as they come and, you know, do what you can.
01:54:25.000But I like to think of myself as sort of like the wise fool as opposed to, you know, this frenzied person.
01:54:58.000I would never do a masterclass, but if you watch my show, and if you look at my habits, and if you replicate them, then you can do well, you know?
01:55:06.000I think it's that simple, but I mean different things work for different people.
01:55:11.000Some things are universal and necessary, but other people operate in different ways.
01:55:17.000Canada says, Nick, have you done your 100 push-ups for the day?
01:56:09.000Every morning for breakfast, I have the Belvita, which is, you know, I mean, it's not the best breakfast, but it's, you know, it's nothing wrong with it.
01:56:16.000And I'll drink a yogurt thing or I'll have a protein shake.
01:58:52.000I conjure up a similar thought of some hopeless, you know, midwit, 100 IQ type person, you know, maybe doesn't have a lot of prospects and they're going all in on online classes.
01:59:08.000What's sad about it is the hope, the false hope.
01:59:31.000Jizza says can you talk about the drag college Republican?
01:59:40.000Well, he's the chairman of the, what is it, the Michigan Federation of College Republicans.
01:59:46.000And this guy, the chair of the Michigan Federation of College Republicans, he participated in a drag show.
01:59:55.000And it wasn't like a, it didn't look like a serious drag show, like in a, you know, like in a gay bar or anything, but he was, he was in some kind of like, he was in a drag costume and doing some kind of dance routine.
02:00:09.000The chair of the Michigan Federation of College Republicans, a guy doing some drag show, and it turns out that guy's name is Brant Siegfried, and that is somebody that I went to high school with.
02:00:24.000Yes, this was going around making the rounds in the America First circles and I saw it on Telegram and lo and behold that was my old classmate, Brant.
02:00:39.000He was the South Campus Liaison and he was the second Vice President in the Student Council back when I was the President and the Secretary General of Student Council and Model UN respectively.
02:00:58.000Never, not like a gay guy or anything, but kind of like a weird guy.
02:01:02.000I put in Telegram, he's like the archetypal college Republican.
02:01:06.000A lot of people think I'm like the archetypal college Republican, but I'm not.
02:01:10.000People think that I'm like the Alex P. Keaton, you know, that stereotype, but I'm really not.
02:01:14.000You know, I mean, if you know anything about me, you know that maybe I'm a little nerdy or whatever, but I'm obviously like charismatic and cultured and whatever.
02:01:28.000Maybe I'm like... I don't know, some people might describe me as a dork.
02:01:33.000But, um, you know, but this guy's like a serious, like, lame-o.
02:01:38.000You know, because at least with us, with the internet, there's the advent of kind of like a new counterculture, where even if I am not like a, you know, like a frat guy or whatever, to be like a somebody on the internet who's like a meme person, you know what I mean, like,
02:01:54.000Very aware of what's happening online.
