00:00:09.000Very excited to be with you here tonight on Monday.
00:00:13.000We are strapped in for another week of America First in quarantine.
00:00:20.000And of course tonight we are talking once again about our present crisis.
00:00:26.000Tonight we are talking more about the coronavirus and everything that has gone on since we last spoke yesterday or the day before since we last spoke on America First on Friday.
00:01:11.000This has got to be the coronavirus headquarters, okay?
00:01:15.000And you can watch other shows and you can watch other streams, but really what other show has been as reliable and consistent on the virus as this show?
00:01:25.000Because I think about maybe two weeks ago I was kind of getting bored with it.
00:01:30.000But, and I posted this on Twitter today, we've been talking about coronavirus and everything that has happened up until this point, since January 21st, I think it was, and I posted it on Twitter.
00:01:44.000I don't even know if that was the first time I talked about it, but it was the first time that I titled my show, and it was talking about coronavirus as a global pandemic, was January 21st.
00:01:56.000And we've watched it all the way from the beginning since this was just a small outbreak.
00:02:02.000In Wuhan, I believe, before there were any cases even in the United States.
00:02:06.000And we've been watching the case numbers grow from 50 to 100 to 100,000.
00:02:13.000Now we're nearing 200,000 global cases.
00:02:16.000And this show has really been the most consistent and the most thorough in analyzing and talking about and gathering all the information about the virus and then projecting and predicting into the future where it's going.
00:02:27.000Because even going back as far as January, I was saying this has the potential to become a global pandemic.
00:02:34.000And I predicted the restaurants being shut down.
00:02:37.000You know, I told you last week, before anything was being shut down, I said that what is happening in Italy, or what was happening in Italy last week, would happen here.
00:02:48.000So, I'm actually proud, so I'm actually glad about that.
00:02:51.000Two weeks ago I was saying to myself, I'm getting bored, I'm getting bored with this, we're talking too much about this, but, you know, now actually as people are tuning in, and everybody's talking about it, everybody wants more information, everybody wants the most up-to-date information, they want ideas about where we're headed, this, I think, is the only show, and maybe the best show, that's been talking about this since the beginning.
00:03:58.000The Democratic primary has a few big contests tomorrow.
00:04:03.000Now, we were supposed to be looking tomorrow at Arizona, Florida, Illinois, and Ohio, but Ohio has now postponed their primary to June 2nd.
00:04:15.000So tomorrow we're only watching Florida, Illinois, and Arizona.
00:04:20.000We'll be headed to the polls to vote in their primaries.
00:04:23.000We'll talk a little bit about that and what's happening in the Democratic race.
00:04:28.000Yesterday we watched what I thought was the final Democratic debate.
00:04:59.000We watched that and now the voters will go to the polls tomorrow in those three states and they're actually talking about doing a 12th debate.
00:05:08.000The one DNC official said to Politico that they're planning and scheduling a 12th debate, so that's great.
00:05:15.000So we thought we were out of the woodwork yesterday, we thought we were done, but nope, we may have another one.
00:05:20.000And of course we've got more contests coming up, not that it really matters, I think Joe Biden's gonna be a shoo-in.
00:05:27.000And we'll see, although with coronavirus it does change it up just a little bit, because if you see across the board, a lot of states postponing their primaries
00:05:36.000Joe Biden does not become the nominee until he wins a majority of the delegates outright.
00:05:42.000And you know you can't win a majority of the delegates if nobody votes.
00:05:47.000You can't win the delegates if there's no contests and therefore no delegates are apportioned to anybody.
00:05:53.000So this race may be prolonged well into the summer.
00:06:05.000If you go on FiveThirtyEight, they're giving Bernie Sanders a 0% chance.
00:06:10.000They're giving the probability that nobody wins a majority of the delegates outright, they're giving that a 0.2% chance.
00:06:19.000So Joe Biden is at more than 99% chance probability of winning the contest.
00:06:25.000Nobody winning the nomination comes in second place with 0.2% and then you've got Bernie Sanders with statistically 0% chance of winning the nomination.
00:06:35.000And I thought that that's the way it was going to shake out.
00:06:38.000I assumed, you know, we're gonna... I didn't even think about how these two things are going to affect one another.
00:06:45.000But because of the coronavirus, I'm sure that as you see states go further and further with curfews and lockdowns and mandatory quarantines, and that is in our future over the coming weeks, especially in the big population centers, I think you're going to see that they're going to completely delay the primary.
00:07:03.000They're going to move a lot of these polls way into the future.
00:07:07.000And if that's the case, then Joe Biden doesn't win.
00:07:10.000And if Joe Biden doesn't win, Bernie Sanders doesn't drop out.
00:07:13.000And technically, we still have a race.
00:07:15.000And that means we still have debates and that means people still have to go vote and that means this could go all the way to the convention even if even if By going to the convention it means that we're gonna have to wait until the contests to be held closer in proximity Not that we'll have a brokered convention But we'll just have to wait until like a week before the convention before all the polls or rather all the votes are counted so
00:08:14.000We talked about the first city that came under a containment zone, right?
00:08:20.000The governor of New York announced that New Rochelle, a suburb of New York City, would be contained.
00:08:25.000That was the first place in the country that you had a containment zone.
00:08:30.000And Harvard University was one of the first colleges to tell their students not to return from spring break.
00:08:36.000I guess they were supposed to go on spring break this week, and Harvard is telling them just to move out, because they're moving the classes online.
00:08:43.000And I remember last week when I did the show, less than one week ago, Tuesday last week, I said that that seemed like a pretty crazy thing.
00:08:51.000I said it seemed like it and people might think that, but probably every other college would follow suit, and probably you'd see a lot more containment zones, and you'd see what's happening in Italy happen in the United States.
00:09:03.000And it was last Tuesday that Italy announced that they were shutting down all restaurants and bars, and it was Thursday of last week that Italy said they're shutting everything down.
00:09:11.000And I said last week, that's what's gonna happen here!
00:09:14.000I said, one week, mark my words, you'll see it in your state.
00:09:20.000I'm sure, if we're looking statistically, it is more likely than not, most of the viewers watching the show, that your state has closed down all restaurants and bars, and probably also gyms, theaters,
00:10:44.000But I told you to begin to prepare, and so I hope you've been doing that.
00:10:47.000I hope you've been buying the essentials, because I've been going to the stores.
00:10:51.000I told you last week, and this was last week, I went to Walmart, I went to Walgreens, and I went to Mariano's, which I think Mariano's is a local chain.
00:11:01.000But I went to those three places, and every time I go, it's packed.
00:13:41.000Another storyline like Watergate or the JFK assassination This is and I don't know maybe this sounds like stupid to you, but really think about it.
00:13:50.000This is a big deal This is going to we are gonna look back on the year 2020
00:13:56.000As a huge pivotal inflection point for our country like 9-11, like 1963, like 1941.
00:14:05.000I mean this is going to go down in the history books and you'll tell your kids, if you have kids now, you'll tell your kids, you'll tell your grandkids, and they'll study it in school about the coronavirus pandemic of 2020 and what happened in the economy and we don't know.
00:14:58.000I'm 21 and my whole life the only like major things that happened happened within like the first five years of me being born right or me being alive and and since then what has really happened what is really the big thing that has happened since like the Iraq war and you've got the 2008 financial crisis I guess that was big but aside from that it's like what's we're not living really through world history we're living through a very as I've been saying a historical time so it's filled me with a little bit of a sense of purpose and
00:15:27.000And a sense of interest and curiosity.
00:15:49.000My school of thought on watching the debates is I'm watching it like a normal person watches it.
00:15:55.000When you have all these analysts, right, and all these political people watching them, and they've got their eyes glued to the screen, they're writing it up, and they're giving their hot takes, who are they doing that for?
00:16:09.000I mean, I understand that they've got to write it up, and they've got to write an article and parse out the important moments and so on, but...
00:17:44.000And so what is really the exercise yesterday to get Bernie Sanders and everybody said, and I said, you know, if there's ever going to be an opportunity for him to turn things around, it would be yesterday.
00:17:54.000He would need some kind of dramatic, miraculous, like insane performance to even make a dent.
00:18:01.000And what Joe Biden's about to do tomorrow in Illinois, Florida, and Arizona.
00:18:43.000They need to carry on this charade because if they don't, then all these retards, Chapo Trap House and Social Democrats and Bernie Bros, they will cry foul.
00:18:56.000They will cry and they will whine and they will say that the DNC cheated.
00:19:01.000As everybody does, their guy loses and they want to complain.
00:19:04.000And often you have a case, but obviously here you do not.
00:19:09.000Joe Biden is winning these things fair and square.
00:19:12.000You could say that in Iowa the fix was in, but every primary, every contest since then, it's been fair and square.
00:19:18.000Joe Biden's been winning more votes and Bernie Sanders is simply losing because he is not a good candidate.
00:19:24.000And generally speaking, the Democrats are not totally socialists yet.
00:19:28.000And if they are, they're not going to jump on board the autistic socialist that we all knew in high school, right?
00:19:35.000So, but they need to drag on the contest now.
00:19:37.000They've got to drag it out and they've got to take it as far as it can go with Bernie Sanders because, until he drops out, because they know that if they cancel the debates and they just say, you know what, we've got a nominee, that all these people are going to riot and they're going to be outraged and so on.
00:19:58.000I thought covering the 2020 presidential election would be fun and interesting and it would be driving a lot of traffic and interest in my show and it's not because it's boring and it sucks and these candidates suck.
00:20:15.000None of these people I have any confidence in, even from an objective point of view, even if I was undecided or an independent or something.
00:20:24.000I mean, they all have deep personal flaws.
00:20:27.000And in terms of policy, none of them are really presenting anything that's either practical or really all that compelling.
00:20:37.000So that's my feelings about the debate.
00:20:39.000I'm watching it and I have a little bit of interest about this debate because I'm thinking maybe Bernie Sanders is going to mount this miraculous comeback.
00:20:48.000I mean, I don't think that's going to happen, but there's a possibility that it could happen.
00:20:54.000That Bernie Sanders is going to dig deep and really pull it out on Sunday.
00:20:58.000Pull out all the stops and, I don't know, do something weird.
00:21:29.000And Louisiana primary has been postponed.
00:21:31.000The Georgia primary has been postponed.
00:21:33.000They weren't scheduled for tomorrow, but generally speaking.
00:21:37.000And in Illinois, in Florida, in Arizona, they're having to move a lot of their polling stations, moving them away from these coronavirus hotspots or epicenters, which doesn't really make a lot of sense to me, you know?
00:21:50.000Because if the idea is that you move the polling station away from... Do you understand?
00:21:55.000You move it away from where the coronavirus hotspot is into a community where it isn't.
00:22:00.000Well, where do you think all the people with coronavirus are going to go and vote?
00:22:04.000They're going to go to the places they're not infected and then infect them.
00:22:09.000What does it mean to go to a polling station?
00:22:13.000Well, I mean, they probably won't shake hands, but they'll be in contact with the same staff of polling people.
00:22:19.000You probably got a staff of a dozen people that will man each polling station throughout the day.
00:22:24.000And they'll be handing out the ballots and managing the electronic machines and if the machines break down they're going to go in and touch them.
00:22:32.000So everybody's going to talk to the same people and they're all going to touch the same electronic stations and touch the same pens and pencils and tables and papers and you're going to move the polling stations to where the virus isn't and all the people that have been exposed to the virus in the hot spots will drive in their cars
00:22:51.000outside the city or outside the suburbs and touch the machines and talk to people that don't have it and then people that don't have it will show up to the polling stations and touch the machines and they'll all contract it.
00:23:44.000That if we don't get this under control rapidly, that you're gonna have, like, death committees, you know?
00:23:51.000Where hospitals are gonna say, okay, if you're over the age of 80 and you've got a pre-existing condition, you're gonna die now.
00:23:58.000We're not gonna treat you because we don't have enough beds and we have 100,000 respirators in the whole country.
00:24:05.000Millions of people get sick, 100,000 respirators.
00:24:08.000We don't have enough beds, we don't have enough nurses, we don't have enough doctors, we don't have enough anything.
00:24:14.000And we're shutting down restaurants and schools and we're shutting down non-essential businesses and telling people, don't leave your homes.
00:25:43.000If you're going to go home and bring the virus to your elderly, you know, relatives or to yourself, you're going to get sick because, you know, well, one person can make a difference.
00:25:53.000Oh, buff uncle, it's not making any difference.
00:25:56.000You think it makes a difference I'm going to go out and get sick?
00:26:10.000So that's the primary tomorrow, but we're gonna move on and talk about the virus, and I'll give you all the information, and then we'll talk a little bit about it.
00:26:19.000I'm gonna read through and show you everything that's going on.
00:26:23.000So I'll read off the latest numbers here.
00:27:14.000A country of a billion and a half people where the virus originated, where they had these quarantines and everything, the number of confirmed cases just kept going up and up and up and then it just stopped and then it just stopped going up and it's been the same for weeks.
00:29:31.000And if you've been watching the show, it's getting really bad across Europe.
00:29:35.000Europe is now the epicenter of the disease, and in Spain in particular, you're seeing the number of cases skyrocket, but it's also now happening in Germany and France.
00:29:45.000All these countries are tracking with how it increased in Italy.
00:29:49.000We saw in Italy this rapid, and this is what made it a global pandemic, is first it was in China, and you saw a lot of big numbers in Asia, where you have obviously a lot of travel and immigration from China.
00:30:02.000But then Italy exploded as the first country outside of Asia where the virus really took off.
00:30:07.000And now it's across all of continental Europe.
00:30:23.000And as the tests become more available, we're going to test and confirm very, you know, a very high number of people.
00:30:29.000They say, I think this was government or CDC officials today, said that you can bet that for every one confirmed case, you've got 5 to 10 cases that are undetected.
00:30:41.000So if there's 4,500 confirmed cases in the United States, and that means if you multiply that by 5 to 10, what would that be?
00:30:50.000That means you've got anywhere between 22,500 cases and 45,000 cases in the United States.
00:30:58.000And I imagine, actually, that it's probably higher than that.
00:31:01.000I would venture to guess that it's probably something like 50,000 cases and maybe more.
00:31:08.000We have no idea because the testing is only becoming available now.
00:31:11.000And it looks like that's being unrolled.
00:31:13.000If we have more confirmed cases, that means that there's more tests.
00:31:17.000This Google website is being put up and now these drive-through testing centers are being rapidly constructed where people can drive through and if they fill out their questionnaire on this website then they get sent if they have the right symptoms to the testing center they take a test they get their results in 24 to 36 hours and then we know who has it and then we can quarantine but that number is gonna go up dramatically in the next two weeks and I would say probably two weeks will be at 50,000 you know easily.
00:31:45.000So those are the latest numbers of cases.
00:32:08.000I think that this is having a positive effect, that the President is out there and visible and keeping everybody up to date and giving them information and guidance and talking about what's being done.
00:32:22.000But it also assures the markets and we have two problems really.
00:32:26.000There's the virus which is bad enough and in order to combat the virus I mean people are getting sick and they're overburdening the health care system and then this is having an effect on whether people are able to feed themselves and get the supplies they need if they're under quarantine or stores are being shut down.
00:32:43.000So you've got the virus and the transmission of the virus which is problem number one.
00:32:48.000And then problem number two is now the economy is collapsing.
00:33:02.000When people are not going to work and people are not consuming and they're not paying their bills or their taxes, we're basically eating away at the wealth of the country.
00:33:09.000So not only are we not expanding, we're now consuming the fruits of economic growth and so there are estimates that the economy will contract by 5%.
00:33:19.000In the second quarter of 2020, which is insane.
00:33:22.000I mean that's like a full-on, that is a serious recession.
00:33:26.000So when you have the president out there invisible and talking about these things, it's actually solving two problems at once.
00:34:04.000It says, quote, President Donald Trump and his coronavirus task force on Monday issued new, stricter guidelines to stop the spread of the disease, including the states
00:34:14.000Rather including that states with evidence of community transmission should close bars, restaurants, and other indoor and outdoor venues where groups of people congregate.
00:34:24.000The new nationwide guidelines also called on Americans to avoid gatherings of more than 10 people, avoid eating and drinking in bars, restaurants, and public food courts, and encouraging schooling from home across the country.
00:34:37.000The president said, quote, my administration is recommending that all Americans, including the young and healthy, work to engage in schooling from home when possible, avoid gathering in groups of more than 10 people, avoid discretionary travel, and avoid eating and drinking in bars, restaurants, and public food courts.
00:34:54.000The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease director, Anthony Fauci, said it was important to be aggressive, but noted the new guidelines only apply over the course of the next 15 days.
00:36:12.000And just because it is probably more dangerous for old people, and old people have a much higher mortality rate for the virus, and a much higher rate that they can contract the virus, that doesn't mean that young people should be okay with getting sick.
00:36:39.000And if it's spreading, then even if you're middle-aged or young, you could end up in the hospital and you're overburdening the healthcare system.
00:36:46.000And the more it spreads, and the quicker it spreads, the more this is going to put stress on hospitals and beds.
00:36:52.000And if that's the case, you don't have enough resources to take care of millions of people getting sick.
00:36:59.000You might, over the course of six months, be able to take care of millions of people.
00:37:04.000But over the course of the next few weeks, you can't have all those people in the hospital at the same time.
00:37:11.000Even if you're young and healthy, and even if you're not worried about getting the virus and it killing you, that doesn't mean that you're not contributing to the spread and then therefore the overburdening of the healthcare system if you contract it, if you're not being careful.
00:37:28.000And beyond that, I'm sick of hearing that young people don't have to worry.
00:37:33.000If you look at any of the numbers in Italy, in Austria, in the United Kingdom, that's coming from these hospitals, large percentages of people that end up in the ICU with coronavirus are under the age of 50.
00:37:47.000So everybody's saying, oh no no, if you're old you have nothing, you're, that's the only people, that's the only demographic that has to worry about this.
00:38:14.000You know, if the percentage, the risk of young people dying from the virus, if that's 1%, well, if millions of people get it, what does 1% look like?
00:38:30.000You know, if a million people die and it's 1%, then what is that?
00:38:35.00010,000 people or 1 million people get it, then 10,000 people die.
00:38:38.000So yes, children will die, teenagers will die, adolescents, middle-aged people will die.
00:38:45.000And maybe that's not going to be a high number of people or a high percentage, but that will happen.
00:38:52.000And there will be a lot of people that will end up in serious critical condition, that will end up in the ICU, that will require a lot of treatment, even if you're under the age of 50.
00:39:01.000And the numbers reflect this in Europe, and they reflect this in Asia, and they will reflect that in the United States.
00:39:08.000And moreover, if you look at this disease and the effects of it, in a lot of cases what you're seeing happen is even if you don't die, the people that get the virus are left with permanent organ damage.
00:39:39.000But it is to say that everybody, everybody has a responsibility
00:39:44.000To take the proper precautions to not be exposed to other people, to cancel their gatherings, try to limit going outside and your exposure to other people so that you're not overburdening the hospital, so that you don't end up in a bad situation, so you don't infect other people.
00:40:01.000I mean everybody has responsibility and it's very it is the height of irresponsibility for people to be out there
00:40:26.000And so if you're transmitting the virus, you're contributing to the overburdening of the healthcare system.
00:40:31.000And if we end up in a situation like there is in Italy, where doctors are going to have to tell people, look, like the odds of you surviving are small and we don't have enough resources, so we're going to let you die.
00:40:43.000You're contributing to that if you're irresponsible.
00:41:04.000We've seen it in South Korea, Iran, Italy, all across Europe.
00:41:08.000It's happening here, and if you don't do your part, you're part of the problem.
00:41:12.000And that's going to have life or death consequences for a lot of people.
00:41:15.000So, you know, I'm glad that the president went out there and said that.
00:41:19.000We've been called crazy for saying to take proper precautions.
00:41:23.000And for months now, people have been saying, oh, you're crazy, you're an alarmist, you're a statist, you're whatever, you know, you're buying into the paranoia.
00:41:36.000But the problem is that we are in a country now, and I know this is going to sound boomer, but it's so true, where people cannot tolerate or cope with even small disruptions to their daily life.
00:41:48.000If people are told no in any capacity, you know, about getting what they want, when they want it, they can't deal with that.
00:41:57.000So, and I tweeted about this the other day,
00:42:01.000Some guy was on Twitter, some journalist I think, and he was talking about how we should be ashamed that we're canceling our sporting events.
00:42:10.000We should be, you know, drinking cold beers and watching the game.
00:42:13.000But, you know, we're so pathetic because we have to cancel things because of the virus.
00:42:18.000And they act like it is some national symbol of resilience and unity that you're gonna go out and eat at a restaurant.
00:45:11.000A country that is strong is able to handle things like that.
00:45:15.000That's how you define a strong country, right?
00:45:18.000A person that is strong is strong not when things are easy.
00:45:22.000It's not somebody that is really capable of hanging out, not someone that's really capable of drinking a lot of alcohol and being funny at a party.
00:45:31.000It's what does it look like in times of need when there's a natural disaster?
00:46:19.000And increasingly we are just simply not going to be able to handle them from any point of view.
00:46:26.000And I don't care how many people you hear in the mainstream media talking about our resilience and we're all in this together and we're united.
00:46:41.000A friend of mine called me on the phone and he relayed to me the story, talking to somebody he knew, saying that there is no concept of we.
00:46:57.000Generally speaking, if you live in a city, if you live in a major population center, is there a we in your city block?
00:47:03.000Is there a we in your apartment complex?
00:47:06.000Is there a we if you live in a suburb in a lot of cases?
00:47:09.000I mean, I happen to know my neighbors, but generally speaking,
00:47:14.000Even in your own neighborhood, you don't have any sense of collective identity or even familiarity with these people, let alone in the town over, and the town next to that one, and your city, and your state, and the nation.
00:47:26.000Are we, all the people living within these borders, are we acting as one?
00:47:47.000And if we cannot act collectively, if all these people in this country cannot act collectively towards a common goal, and that means sacrifices and hardships, we don't have a future!
00:48:00.000The slightest disruptions, and they're going to grow larger and more frequent, are going to wreak havoc on this country for that reason.
00:48:07.000And I look at this statement from Trump and some of these basic regulations that are being passed down, and you see, I think the Oklahoma governor came out today and said, I'm going to keep eating dinner with my family in a restaurant.
00:48:47.000The source of resilience for this country is, well, even though there was danger, and even though you were asked to do the bare minimum to prevent the worst from happening, you refused, and you went out and bought shit anyway.
00:49:00.000You went out and you ate more hamburgers, and drank more beer, and drank more liquor, and watched more sports anyway.
00:50:13.000Look, and I'm not even somebody that cooks.
00:50:16.000But when all this stuff started to go down, I went out to Mariano's and I bought a bunch of frozen pizzas, okay?
00:50:22.000And I bought, uh, what is it, Hungry Man dinners, and I bought frozen mac and cheese, and I bought chips, and I bought a few cases of water, and I bought pop, and juice, and candy, and it's out there, it's stocked, you know, the shells were stocked as, as, you know, as, uh...
00:51:15.000The pain, the mental anguish I experienced thinking about this.
00:51:20.000Imagine if we ever had to do anything serious.
00:51:22.000Imagine if there was a world war where people are dying, right?
00:51:27.000And you really were strapped for resources, like the military had to commandeer factories and we needed to make uniforms and things like that.
00:52:06.000We are sitting on a nuclear warhead of demographics, of debt, dysfunction, all kinds of terrible things.
00:52:14.000People don't even know about it, right?
00:52:17.000And I don't think this is, maybe this is the wake-up call, I don't even think people are getting the message, but that is what I think about.
00:52:23.000You watch this show, and if you watch this show, if you're a normal person, you're thinking, what is this guy talking about?
00:52:28.000Normally, if you're watching this show maybe three months ago,
00:52:33.000You're saying, what is this guy talking about?
00:53:20.000You will see that the politics of optimism and all this bringing the country together and bleeding red white and blue and that is not going to stand a chance when things really start to hit the fan.
00:53:51.000Already you're seeing these mass closures.
00:53:54.000I'll read off some of these lists just to give you an idea.
00:53:57.000For restaurants and bar closures, the following states have said statewide they're ordering all restaurants and bars closed.
00:54:08.000You've got Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington.
00:54:20.000All those states, all those states have mandated all restaurants and bars have to close their dine-in restaurants.
00:54:28.000They can do pickup, they can do delivery, carry out, but no dine-in.
00:54:37.000McDonald's has shut down all their restaurants for dine-in.
00:54:40.000I guess they're still doing drive-thru and delivery, but they're not doing seating areas and self-service kiosks.
00:54:49.000States that have closed down, that they've ordered all states to close down their schools, you've got Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana,
00:55:03.000New Hampshire, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
00:55:16.000All those states have ordered their K-12 schools to close and a few more.
00:55:23.000Like, for example, Indiana and Iowa have suggested that their schools close, and most of them have.
00:55:28.000So those are just the states that have ordered all their schools to close, but there's a lot of school closures elsewhere.
00:55:33.000Atlanta, Austin, Denver, and Washington, D.C.
00:57:02.000Is San Francisco the total lockdown, the total quarantine?
00:57:06.000That's what's coming next for everywhere else.
00:57:09.000So I guarantee that maybe by the end of this week or next week, I'm betting that you'll see Chicago, New York City, LA, Austin, Houston, Phoenix,
00:57:19.000I'm guessing that probably all the major cities are gonna see similar measures.
00:57:24.000Curfews, mandatory quarantine, banning all non-essential travel.
00:57:29.000If I'm gonna make a prediction, I'm gonna say that what's happening in San Francisco, you're gonna see in all these other hotspots.
00:57:46.000And then people will see how serious this stuff is.
00:57:49.000Then people, when they're being told you're not going to even leave your house, if it's not serious now, if it wasn't serious last week or two weeks ago or three weeks ago, maybe people will get the idea when they're being told it's against the law.
00:58:02.000You know, you'll be stopped from leaving your house unless it's essential.
00:58:05.000So that is what is coming down the pike for us.
00:59:01.000And the largest drop of our downturn this month.
00:59:06.000The highest percentage drop since Black Monday in 1987, even surpassing the percentage drop in 1929 which is the beginning of the Great Depression.
01:00:05.000Firearms, ammunition, food, water, paper towels, disinfectant, whatever pharmaceutical drugs you need, over-the-counter stuff, you should stockpile that.
01:00:17.000You should stockpile, you know, just anything that you're gonna need.
01:00:31.000I think generally just plan out, do all your grocery shopping, what you would buy normally, plan it out for the next, you know, two to four weeks, I think is reasonable.
01:00:40.000And you know you could continue to go out to grocery stores, but be planning on not being able to leave your house, I think is what you should shoot for.
01:00:47.000So... And, you know, you should have prepared.
01:01:32.000And I was driving around town and thinking to myself, you know,
01:01:37.000I don't know I'm kind of like just I'm as somebody that is historically minded I love history I love politics we're living through something and it is it is horrible it is suffering and it is very hard for people but I have to say that I am I'm immensely fascinated and kind of enjoying the experience of living through history I know it's dark times for a lot of people I don't enjoy that but it is interesting interesting times but let's move on to our super chats
01:02:12.000I hope that this is unironically maybe comforting to people because my life is not disrupted by this largely, but I know that if you're a wagee or you go to school,
01:02:34.000So I hope this is a sense of comfort that in as much and maybe that sounds kind of gay, but as things are changing, as things are getting darker and ominous, you tune in and America First is always here just like normal times.
01:02:55.000I've been asked this a million times already.
01:02:59.000I don't watch any of his content, but he hangs out with Richard Spencer and I don't know how smart you can really be if you hang out with Richard Spencer.
01:03:07.000So, it seems to me like he's petting a lot of boilerplate, hot take, alt-right takes, right?
01:03:15.000So, I don't know, but I haven't watched a lot of his content, so I don't want to be attacking him.
01:03:21.000I haven't given it a chance, but my general impression is a lot of boilerplate hot takes, you know, alt-right hot takes, and hanging out with Richard Spencer kind of says it all at this point.
01:03:33.000I think anybody who hangs out with Richard Spencer, it's like, uh, hello retard department, so...
01:03:54.000Yeah, the Big Macs are, you know, a little messy.
01:03:57.000That's why I don't really mess with them anymore.
01:03:59.000Because I used to be a Big Mac guy, but every time I get it, it's like falling all over the place and I gotta eat it quickly because if I don't eat it quickly, it's sliding and slipping and
01:04:09.000You're left with too much bun or not enough bun.
01:04:26.000You get a single cheeseburger, and for whatever reason, because there's not a lot of like, well here's my theory, you get a double cheeseburger because there's like more condiments and two wet patties on top of each other, it gives way to a lot of sliding.
01:04:43.000You bite, and the more that you have between the bread, the more it's prone to when you bite, it slides out on the other side.
01:04:50.000And the more bites you take, the more it slides out on the other side of the bun,
01:04:58.000It's almost like you lube up the sandwich with mayonnaise if you're talking about like a sub sandwich with mayonnaise or dressing and then you eat it and the meat then just slides out the other side or a taco and the less that you have in the middle the less that you have that effect.
01:05:14.000Minimize that with a single or a McDouble.
01:05:18.000And the more that you stack it, the more problems you have.
01:05:21.000Gourmet burger, these big patties, these weird big condiments.
01:05:52.000Whatever, however you dress it up, but just the basics.
01:05:55.000I go to some of these burger restaurants and they're like, oh it's got relish and it's got peppers and it's got a mac and cheese patty on it and we fried mac and cheese and put it on top and we've got
01:06:07.000Forget all that one third pound patty and it's on a pretzel bun.
01:09:28.000I don't even know what to say to that.
01:09:29.000Do I sarcastically say, wow, great job, or do I just tell you straight up, that was unironically the dumbest thing I've ever read in the history of this show.
01:09:39.000Hey, thank you for the Ninjagini, but you, sir, have won the prize for maybe the worst than the hate, worst than the cringe, worst than, you know, people just outright attacking me.
01:09:51.000That that is probably the the dumbest one I've ever read, but thank you, but thank you for the ninja genie.
01:09:55.000Thanks for the lemons What was even the point of that was that supposed to be funny was that supposed to be a troll?
01:10:04.000I don't know what that was, but that was just that was just bad You know what with this imagined conversation between me and a super chatter a true glimpse into the mind of an NPC I think we just saw there
01:10:18.000So and so bold so bold to take up you know 10 10 different chats so impressed with itself I Don't know.
01:10:26.000I don't know what we were aiming for with that one, but That was rough that was pretty rough
01:10:33.000That was rougher than the coronavirus.
01:13:19.000Harms Road up in what is that up by Evanston Northbrook Hackney's on printer row here we go This one's permanently closed yes, so I guess they're just up there now.
01:13:33.000I've never that's that's pretty far from me That's way up north.
01:13:38.000I don't really go there very often So no no I've never been up there and
01:13:45.000Well, I mean, I've been up to heaven since I've ever been to that restaurant.
01:13:48.000Hot Dogs is already in day three of self-quarantine.
01:16:06.000Nobody's even... There's been a lot of misinformation put out about me, like a lot of old addresses and other things, but... So nobody's tried anything so far.
01:16:44.000Let me see So I guess they got suspended so I guess they didn't try for very long But in any case it's always very amusing when people try to make trouble That's the thing.
01:16:54.000You literally can't do anything to me the most I mean, I guess people could kill me don't do that.
01:16:59.000But um You know, I've been making trouble.
01:17:03.000That's like right-wing dissident for years and you can't fire me, right?
01:17:13.000Oh yeah I posted you know you that you live in this city or whatever and it's like what are you gonna do?
01:17:20.000So that's not a dare I'm not daring you to come harm me but it's just to say it's just all very amusing when people try to mess with me.
01:17:30.000So somebody somebody wants to try somebody wants to try and they want to get stabbed or shot bring it on.
01:17:36.000That's but it's not a challenge, you know, you shouldn't you shouldn't do that.
01:17:39.000I don't want to kill anybody I don't want to engage in some kind of You know duel I I would rather not engage in combat.
01:17:48.000That would be life-threatening to me, but You know, that's that's always very amusing when people try that kind of stuff Polish American says brah remember when the virus was interesting.
01:17:59.000I think it's still still interesting to me and
01:18:03.000Josh says, Joe can make me laugh, which is more than Bernie.
01:28:09.000yeah obviously when I when I started to what become distracted by other things you could tell I was bored congratulations very perceptive thank you for the ninja genie Ramy says also my dad is one of those just the flu guys shaking my head yeah most most boomers are question for next is pray for Chinese wife her name is
01:28:36.000Polish Americans, can we get a quick Hail Mary break?
01:32:24.000transaction fees work and understand historically how the market does these are some of the things you want to understand before you go in as you don't waste it but it's really gonna be hard to waste it everything's going down but you should know you should know before you get in know the basics manga country says if you've seen the commercial it was perfect yeah I've seen it maxi bro with a lot a lot of diamonds holy smokes thank you so much for all these diamonds that's a lot
01:32:54.000Pickles for Israel says first super chat here some Monopoly money big guy well thanks a lot buddy.
01:33:00.000Question for next is Sheldon predicted the virus the rising of the endo.
01:33:14.000Interdimensional says but about stock should I wait months to start?
01:33:19.000I wouldn't but that's not investing advice.
01:33:22.000If it were me investing money... Well, I'm not going to tell you what I've done, but if it were me, if I were you, I would start dollar cost averaging into the market over the course of the next couple of weeks.
01:33:36.000or you know months whatever your your time horizon is with this whatever your timetable is but i would figure that out and i would start uh just gradually getting in ten thousand's not a ton of money to invest in some cases you need at least ten thousand to buy to even get an account so maybe that's not the best strategy for an amount of money like that but um
01:33:56.000For $10,000, yeah, I would buy an index fund.
01:33:59.000If it were me, if I were just throwing $10,000 in, I'd probably buy an index fund.
01:34:03.000And if you want to wait a little bit longer, a little bit less, kind of up to you, but it really doesn't make a difference.
01:34:09.000The market's down like, what is it, 20-30% right now, so...
01:34:38.000I'm just, you know, hypothetically... I don't know what the language I have to use is to be, you know, not be legally liable, but it's not investment advice.
01:36:30.000Yeah, that's funny because I've said that before Whiffle says have you made your March Madness bracket yet?
01:36:37.000No, I can't say that I have Trey bar says yeah, I turn 18 in two weeks kind of sucks, but it happening is a pretty epic birthday present I guess yeah, that's one way to look at it.
01:39:06.000Let's see manga country says since you were harsh I feel the need to explain the super chat at the beginning Was a play on the Kobe Kanye Nike commercial since I had to explain it.
01:39:17.000Yeah, it definitely didn't work I'm sorry, but I don't have the Kobe Kanye Nike commercial memorized such that you could you know rattle off a super chatter America first parody of it and I would immediately pick up on the dialogue so
01:39:34.000I don't think it worked, but thanks for all the diamonds anyway.
01:39:38.000Glad you explained it, because that was a mystery.
01:39:43.000Please don't ask me for financial advice.
01:40:21.000It's gonna be in low supply and they're gonna shut down stores and they might ban guns while this is happening, so... And you never know what could happen.
01:40:29.000Big Globe says, I bought some Little Hugs.
