00:00:51.000I predicted last week that within two weeks you would see all the major cities in the country on lockdown and we are rapidly approaching that point.
00:00:59.000The main story tonight is about California, Illinois, and New York.
00:01:04.000All three states will go into total lockdown, total, well shelter-in-place is the proper terminology.
00:01:12.000Shelter-in-place orders have been issued in all three states and they will take effect this weekend and I think that's what's on the menu for everybody else too.
00:01:32.000And this is how it starts in California, New York, and Illinois.
00:01:35.000So we'll talk about that and there's a lot to discuss there.
00:01:40.000And we'll talk about some other developments with the virus on the money situation, some other relief measures which have been put into effect.
00:02:15.000Today's the first day of spring, I should say.
00:02:17.000March 20th, first day of spring technically.
00:02:20.000And normally I like to only wear the Hawaiian shirts when it's summer, but I figure this is like a fun outfit and I thought that maybe would cheer you up a little bit.
00:02:34.000It's kind of a fun summer outfit and in these dark times with lockdowns and shortages and quarantines and social distancing, I thought maybe the simple act of just wearing this Hawaiian shirt with this sport coat might bring you a little bit of relief.
00:02:53.000It might bring you a little bit of comfort.
00:03:19.000Before we get into the virus, and I've also got a whiteboard here.
00:03:23.000For all of our numbers love love to look at the numbers but before we dive into all of that I do just want to tell you a little bit about sort of my experience today I went out today and of course today well in the past 24 hours was the big announcement California was last night the shelter-in-place
00:04:08.000Global pandemic would take over and shut down supply lines and make it impossible I start googling the other night where I can find a switch and first of all, everything's closed The 24-hour Walmart is closed.
00:04:21.000All the other stores are closed and then there's shortages everywhere There's not a single Nintendo switch in a Best Buy in like the entire Chicagoland area nothing a GameStop virtually nothing at Walmart
00:04:35.000but there was one there was one or a few I think there were a few remaining units at the Walmart by me so I went over there I picked it up I got my what is it called my capture card and I got the game and a few other things and I went to a few different stores today I went to the dollar store I went to Best Buy Walmart and Target and the shelves are empty in all these stores
00:05:00.000You need to go out there and get prepared now!
00:05:03.000Shut down the show, turn off your iPad, your computer, go to the store now, if you haven't already.
00:05:10.000And I've been telling you since January!
00:05:13.000I've been telling you since January to get food, to get water, to get prepared.
00:05:20.000And I told you last week, and I told you two weeks ago, that it's never too late.
00:06:14.000Things like bread, eggs, the essentials.
00:06:17.000A lot of the freezer aisle was wiped out.
00:06:20.000and it's really scary that that's the way it's going but people know that the lockdown is imminent at least in in my neck of the woods i think they know and it's been people have been self-quarantining for a long time they've been staying at home the restaurants have been closed right but now i think you're going to see in all these other major cities not just la it's well so so far at san francisco new orleans los angeles new york state
00:07:06.000In Italy, first they closed down the restaurants and bars and the recreation, then they closed all non-essential businesses, then it was shelter-in-place, then it was lockdown.
00:08:08.000I have to say that it's a completely asinine point to make that the shelves are empty now, because the shelves are never empty in a capitalist country.
00:08:17.000And don't make me defend capitalism, but I've seen this take all over the internet, and I did just want to bring that up tonight because I was thinking about that when I'm walking through the grocery store.
00:08:27.000You know, as much as I am a skeptic and a critic of capitalism, as much as I am not gung-ho about hyper-individualistic, international, central bank, free-market capitalism, as much as I'm not wild about that and I don't love that, you make me defend it!
00:08:45.000Because so many people are out there saying,
00:08:49.000Empty shelves, isn't that what they say about socialism?
00:08:52.000And I think the point, which is obvious, is that you're never going to have a system where there will never be problems.
00:09:01.000There is no economic system where you will never have a shortage, where you will always be able to get everything you want, when you want it, no matter what.
00:09:11.000Even if there's a hurricane, or a tornado, or a pandemic, or a nuclear war, right?
00:09:16.000Because what economics is, economics is the study of how scarce resources are allocated.
00:09:24.000Intrinsic to the idea of economy and economics is the principle of scarcity.
00:09:31.000Which is to say that there's not enough stuff for everybody to have it.
00:10:04.000There's only so much time and labor we have to economize.
00:10:08.000And so intrinsic in that is that sometimes not everybody is going to get everything they want when they want it.
00:10:15.000Specifically in times like this in capitalism that seems to be the only time when we have that problem.
00:10:20.000Obviously in other countries you have that problem more frequently and it's maybe more systemic or intrinsic to the system that you have shortages built in because the system is not efficient.
00:10:32.000Of all the critiques that I have of capitalism, efficiency abundance is not one of them.
00:10:37.000That's actually part of the problem is that it prioritizes short-term consumption over long-term investment and in a lot of cases the supply chains are very fragile in times like this.
00:10:48.000But mark my words, if we have to go through a prolonged period of pandemic, I think the system will adjust and the supply chains will adapt to something like this.
00:10:58.000They'll produce more of disinfectant, hand sanitizer, whatever, and they will cut down the hours and you can already see that accommodations are being made for this.
00:11:09.000Based on the incentives and the prices that you have with a major disruption like this.
00:11:13.000So, I just wanted to bring that up because I went out to the stores today and it's worse than I've ever seen it.
00:11:18.000I've been going out to the stores just about every week, close to every weekend since Trump's initial Oval Office address.
00:11:26.000And not even because I really need anything.
00:11:28.000I mean, when it initially happened, I was stocking up, I think back in like late February, early March.
00:11:35.000But now I go almost just to see what's happening.
00:11:38.000Of course today I had a special excursion to get my Nintendo Switch.
00:11:42.000But I've been going and I've been making it a point to visit different stores just to kind of get a feel for how things are going.
00:11:49.000So if you haven't gotten your supplies, now's the time.
00:11:53.000And if it's bad now, it's going to be worse tomorrow.
00:11:56.000Because the more that states and cities go on lockdown, the more people are going to panic buy.
00:12:01.000When people hear that, when they go home and see that on the news, what's the first thing they're going to do?
00:12:06.000They're going to head over to Walmart, Target, Mariano's, you know, whatever your local grocery store is, and they're going to load up.
00:12:13.000And the supply chains in the grocery stores right now are not able to accommodate everybody coming in all at once and loading up with a two-week supply of food.
00:12:21.000Grocery stores don't contain all that.
00:12:23.000And there's a little, and I have one more thought on this before I move on and look at the numbers and some other things.
00:12:29.000And I made this point on my Telegram channel the other day.
00:12:42.000When you're looking at Long Island and Queens and the Bronx and Staten Island, when you're looking at all the neighborhoods, geographically this doesn't take up a lot of space.
00:12:54.000But there's 8 million people living in the city of New York and I think the number goes up to 12 million people if you're looking at the greater New York City area and then if you look at New York City and Newark and Jersey City and you know just sort of like all in that little area it's maybe something like 20 million people.
00:13:13.000I'm not sure the numbers on that but the point being is you've got lots and lots of people in a very small
00:14:12.000down to very specific time schedules and workers showing up on time, truckers, supply routes, very very carefully calibrated supply chains that goods are coming even from foreign countries and they're coming through shipping routes maybe through the ocean or maybe it's being flown in or maybe it's being trucked in from Mexico or Canada and then it arrives at ports or airports
00:15:19.000A lot of people have this idea that because we have technology or because we have a big economy or because it's the future,
00:15:27.000People have it in their heads that there is this anti-fragility or resiliency of the system, that nothing could really ever go wrong.
00:15:36.000Because we know that life four weeks ago seemed invincible.
00:15:40.000You go out to McDonald's and you could get a hamburger, you could go out and get a pizza, you could go to the
00:15:46.000Supermarket and shelves are stocked with everything you could ever want.
00:15:51.000Anything anybody could ever want is available now, delivered to your door in a day.
00:15:56.000You know, if you look at Amazon one-day delivery, the ubiquity of commerce makes most people think that this is a really solid, this is a really strong
00:16:50.000People act as though everything is just fine, even if you're somebody who on the surface level might agree with the things I say on the show.
00:16:58.000And I tell you about the demographics, and I tell you about the fragility of the system, and about trade, and our adversaries, and the entropy, these entropic, disordering, destabilizing forces that are attacking the country on all fronts.
00:17:13.000And you don't trust that because what you see in your daily life tells you otherwise.
00:18:23.000People think that everything's just fine and we have nothing to worry about.
00:18:26.000No enemies from within or without to worry about.
00:18:29.000Even 9-11, for as bad as 9-11 was, that was two buildings.
00:18:33.000And I don't mean to... I don't say that to minimize it.
00:18:35.000What I mean to say is that even the biggest attack, the biggest disaster in this century, the biggest disaster in the past 30 years by far, the most visual, the most visceral, the highest casualty count in a span of one day,
00:18:51.000The idea of vulnerability, it is bad and as awful and horrible and tragic as it was, that was a bad day for a lot of people, and it was a bad day that happened over in New York.
00:19:02.000And it was obviously horrible if you were in New York City, but for everybody else, that was something that happened over there.
00:19:08.000That was something that happened in Washington DC or in Pennsylvania.
00:19:11.000That happened on those four planes, in those three buildings, in those cities,
00:19:16.000And gee, I guess it could happen anywhere else.
00:19:18.000But slowly but surely, after a couple of years, all that anxiety or paranoia, which might have been justified, slowly eroded and it was back to normal.
00:19:28.000And again, I don't say that to minimize, I mean to say even something as bad as 9-11.
00:19:33.000Did it really affect people on a massive level, aside from inconveniences at airports and temporary inconveniences with security and things like that?
00:19:55.000It could have been a mass terror attack.
00:19:56.000And I mean like a bad one, like a nuclear bomb, a pandemic.
00:20:01.000You know, a major economic recession or depression, some kind of a debt bomb going off, something like that, right?
00:20:07.000You look at any one of these threats that we've been thinking about, a cyber attack, an EMP, a solar flare, a major national disaster, we've been living on borrowed time against these threats that we simply have not been prepared for.
00:20:19.000Walking around like everything's okay, and all it takes is one day, or a series of three weeks, and now we are really understanding in an intimate way just how unprepared we were
00:20:30.000For something as basic as a pandemic and you would think that we would be okay.
00:20:35.000All these progressives always talk about how we're always moving up and we never go back, right?
00:20:41.000People like Steve Pinker and Jordan Peterson and all these progressives tell us that our Millennium Development Goals are being reached and global poverty is on the downswing.
00:20:54.000The country and the world and humanity only goes up.
00:21:53.000And we have to seriously think about what happens if this doesn't end.
00:21:57.000And maybe this is not a low-key or a casual or a relaxed or a cozy thought to think about, but a lot of people have been asking themselves, when is this going to end?
00:22:27.000We will figure out new ways to work and go to school and interact and...
00:22:32.000You know, maybe we'll figure out a vaccine for this particular virus.
00:22:36.000But that world that we lived in at AFPAC, when we went there and people are shaking hands and in close quarters at a bar and nobody's really concerned, that's done.
00:22:46.000Probably for, I don't think most of us will forget about this for the rest of our lives.
00:22:50.000That storm cloud will hang over our heads for the rest of our lives.
00:22:54.000And we might return to some sense of normalcy and adapt to something that's more livable and something that is more acceptable to most people.
00:23:02.000And we have to think about this coronavirus.
00:23:04.000When we're talking about solutions or an end to the coronavirus, you've really got three options.
00:23:25.000Which is to say that worldwide people have to get vaccinated and when they get vaccinated they become immune and then this novel coronavirus basically dies off.
00:23:34.000It'll become like the influenza and a novel coronavirus becomes a coronavirus.
00:23:39.000They call it novel coronavirus because it is novel, it's new, it's a new strain that we have no immunity to.
00:23:46.000But there are other coronaviruses out there and this novel coronavirus will become among the others and will have immunity and things can largely return to normal.
00:23:55.000The vaccine is at least 12 to 18 months away.
00:24:00.000Some people have been talking about this hydroxychloroquine treatment and some people have been saying that the vaccine is moving along very quickly but it's still 12 to 18 months because you have to test it and then you have to manufacture it and distribute it and
00:24:27.000Between now and the vaccine, you know, we, well, in the meantime, between now and the vaccine, we may just simply develop a natural immunity because so many people will have gotten the virus.
00:24:39.000Just like other diseases in human history, we will organically and naturally develop an immunity without a vaccine.
00:24:45.000But the only way to do that is if the disease burns through most of the population.
00:24:51.00040 to 70 percent of the population would have to get sick before you develop a herd or a community-based immunity.
00:24:57.000So we're talking about a 12 to 18 month timeline for the vaccine.
00:25:01.000The herd immunity might not even be a choice.
00:25:03.000That might burn through us and there's no guarantee that we develop an immunity.
00:25:07.000Maybe everybody gets sick and maybe we just live with these outbreaks on and off again.
00:25:12.000And that leads us to the third scenario which is there really is no end in sight for the coronavirus.
00:25:17.000Which is to say that maybe a vaccine takes years to develop.
00:25:20.000Maybe it takes a really long time to develop.
00:25:23.000And maybe we don't build up a natural immunity.
00:25:25.000Maybe this virus mutates and changes and this is just how we have to live.
00:25:31.000That you'll continue to see outbreaks on again, off again, and sometimes you'll have it and some seasons it'll get worse, but that this is just something we'll have to live with indefinitely.
00:25:40.000That doesn't mean forever, permanently, but it does mean
00:26:40.000We have to have a more global and international consciousness.
00:26:43.000Not in the way that we're globalists, but thinking about these kinds of international threats in a globalized world, which are disease among many others, and take the proper precautions and change as a result.
00:26:59.000I hate to tell you that, and you might not like that, but that's the way it is.
00:27:03.000The good news is, is that it's a low mortality rate, so if you catch it, you're probably not going to die, if you're a young person, and you're probably not going to have a severe case.
00:27:15.000That doesn't mean it's impossible, that doesn't mean you shouldn't be careful, but it does mean that in as much as things change, we have to remember what's important.
00:27:23.000and nobody's most people are not not nobody but most people are not going to die some will die but this is life this is life and we are returning to history the 20th the 21st century will be our return from our vacation from history from 1990 you could say really from 1980 probably before that you could say that from 1945 until now we have been living
00:27:50.000In in maybe you could say in a historical time.
00:27:53.000We have taken a vacation from history.
00:27:55.000Maybe you could say 1973 Since the Vietnam War that was arguably the last time it was like really bad So maybe 1973 around there the the mid 70s Until now we've been taking a vacation broadly speaking from major Historical catastrophes and events not to say that there haven't been events or catastrophes, but I think you understand we're talking about scale and
00:28:19.000And this is when we return we return to tradition we return to tribe we return to all these Pestilence and locusts and all these plague all these terrible things That's that's just gonna be how we are.
00:28:35.000It's actually an opportunity It's an opportunity for us in our country and for our political movement but it's also an opportunity for us to grow as people you could say
00:28:48.000You may look at this as a great gift because what the coronavirus and history does is it reminds us of who we are.
00:28:58.000And although things are going to get difficult and although things are going to be challenging and there will be danger, this is actually a very natural habitat for people to be in.
00:29:08.000It's a very natural dynamic for human beings to actually thrive in.
00:29:14.000Conversely, you might say that maybe the worst fate is that we would live in a completely plastic, artificial, predictable society forever.
00:29:25.000That the trend that we saw four weeks ago, that was our lives, would persist forever.
00:29:30.000No challenge, no danger, no risk, no strife.
00:29:48.000You know, I have to tell you that a lot of people might like the coronavirus in a weird and counterintuitive way because it is danger.
00:29:57.000And in a situation or in a life where most people don't really encounter real risk or real danger, real crisis, real threat, you know, there's something very natural about responding to that.
00:30:09.000There's something natural about the way our brains and our chemicals work.
00:30:13.000So, I mean, that's also something to think about.
00:30:14.000A return to history is also a return to being a historical human being and not, you know, just somebody that's supposed to be mindlessly consuming and working.
00:30:23.000And that's not to say that we're never going to have to work or consume, but it is to say that maybe, maybe this just adds a little something.
00:30:29.000That something is happening, that there's a danger, maybe that restores some of the vigor and
00:30:36.000We're in a extraordinary time right now.
00:30:58.000And it really makes you reevaluate what normal looks like.
00:31:02.000It makes you reevaluate what life should or ought to look like.
00:31:06.000If we're talking about normal, if we're talking about how we adapt to something like this or how we might like society to be, now that we've got something destabilizing and making us ask questions and challenge us, maybe this is one of these paradigm shifting events.
00:31:20.000I guarantee that out of this will come many great things.
00:31:24.000Out of this will come, well, many changes and certainly a lot of them for the better.
00:31:28.000Some that will make us safer and some that conceivably will make us happier.
00:31:32.000So it doesn't have to be the worst thing in the world.
00:31:34.000Sometimes you need a little bit of a shake-up.
00:31:36.000Sometimes you need a little bit of disorder to get things back on the right track because otherwise society and history has an inertia and a momentum to it that can feel unstoppable.
00:31:47.000It's only when you fall in a ditch and something weird happens that
00:31:51.000We can really all, as a society, reevaluate and find a will to make things different.
00:31:57.000But, as I said, we're going to move on and we're going to look at our latest numbers here.
00:32:31.000Okay, so tonight we have got 262,876 confirmed coronavirus cases worldwide, which
00:32:46.000Yesterday we I think we were at two hundred and forty thousand something like that two hundred thirty thousand I Should I should keep a running tally, but I erase I'm such I could be so silly sometimes I erase all the numbers and write the new ones and I'm like damn it Wait, what were the numbers from yesterday again?
00:33:03.000I completely erased and I'm like, well be nice to know how much they're increasing by I think I have it in front of me online.
00:34:11.000There's been some research into what the real numbers are in China and the results are kind of disturbing.
00:34:17.000There was one, I think, journalist who found that if you're looking at Chinese telecommunications companies, they've tracked 13 million less users on some of these websites or some of these registries
00:34:32.000Then before the coronavirus outbreak happened, implying that maybe a lot of them or most of them or all of them are people that died from coronavirus.
00:34:40.000So you're talking about millions of people that conceivably have died in China from the coronavirus.
00:34:47.000So if they're saying 80,000 confirmed infected, the death rate could easily be in the millions.
00:34:52.000And if the death rate is in the millions, probably the infected rate is in the tens of millions, maybe 100 million.
00:35:15.000France at 10,995 and South Korea at 8,652.
00:35:34.000Notably, on this side, usually I don't read this list because this has just been somewhat negligible compared to the others, but now you could see that in a lot of these countries you're seeing some serious numbers go on the board.
00:35:45.000Switzerland, which is a small country, is up to nearly 4,200 cases, the United Kingdom nearly 4,000 cases, Netherlands is 3,000, Austria 2,200, Norway, Belgium nearly 2,000,
00:36:12.000That's only something like 2,500 new cases, so...
00:36:19.000Maybe the testing is slowing down, at least in the last day, or maybe less confirmations.
00:36:24.000I'm not sure, but this is where we are in terms of the numbers.
00:36:27.000It's getting pretty bad out there, and the idea that half or most of the population will get the virus is just becoming more plausible.
00:36:37.000The rate at which this is spreading, the incubation time,
00:36:41.000The time that we've taken to try to contain this, you know, none of this is on our side.
00:36:46.000None of this data, none of these characteristics of the virus are really helping us.
00:36:51.000This virus very well could infect half the population, and that's what they're saying now in Germany, in the United Kingdom, in the United States, that maybe the only saving grace here will be herd immunity.
00:37:20.000We may get tired of the lockdown, but the moment that you release everybody, the virus comes back.
00:37:25.000Because you're bound to have people that are still sick and undiagnosed, and they'll still be spreading it.
00:37:32.000So the day that people go back outside and go to their parties and restaurants and bars and everything is the day they maybe get another outbreak.
00:37:39.000Or maybe it subsides over the summer, but it comes back with a vengeance in the fall.
00:37:44.000But until you get the vaccine, there's no real solution for this.
00:37:48.000You can't just completely wipe out and kill a virus totally just by quarantining every single person that has it until they die or recover fully.
00:39:11.000No, I thought Vince, Vince Red Elephants was there and he wouldn't shake anybody's hands.
00:39:16.000He was doing the fist bump and he was doing the hand sanitizer and I thought he was being crazy.
00:39:21.000I thought he's been paranoid actually.
00:39:22.000I was like, yeah, it seems a little excessive.
00:39:24.000I mean, I knew the coronavirus was bad and it was spreading, but I didn't think we had anything to worry about on, you know, if we're just shaking hands or whatever.
00:39:34.000There's another case of somebody who doesn't really take it seriously, right?
00:39:37.000But Vince did, and we were all hanging out and shaking hands and talking and going to these bars and hotel and all this, and that was the last big event that we had before this reality, before this world.
00:40:00.000Where will we be in five to ten years?
00:40:02.000These are the questions we have to ask.
00:40:04.000To what extent will this change things, and which of those changes will be permanent, and what will it be like when we get out on the other side?
00:40:28.000So there's a big press conference today.
00:40:31.000And I think that's great that we're doing these daily press conferences, and it's the president, the vice president, this Dr. Fauci character, that woman, some other individuals, and the big announcements today, which are all pretty good, are number one that the cash payments are going to be bigger.
00:40:48.000The president said today that he looked at the proposal from the GOP, which was $1,200, and even better,
00:41:20.000They said that if you have, what is it, $2,500 in tax liability, then you're eligible for $600.
00:41:40.000But I didn't know the lower bound for income.
00:41:42.000It turns out, they calculated the lower bound for the income, and I didn't put this in my notes, but this is on my Twitter.
00:41:50.000You need to get $47,000 to get the full- I'm sorry, that's for joint filers.
00:41:56.000You need $23,000 in income to get the $1,200.
00:41:57.000So, we're talking about the people that will get $1,200, the full $1,200 check, which, you know, $1,200 check, really, for a crisis like this?
00:42:10.000You have to make between $23,000 and $75,000.
00:42:12.000Those are the only people to get the full check.
00:42:16.000And as I said yesterday, we were led to believe that we were all going to get a big check.
00:42:21.000Everybody was going to get a big check.
00:42:23.000And then the GOP fucking Mitch McConnell comes out and says, no actually, only people that make between $23,000 and $75,000 will get one $1,200 check.
00:42:35.000Keep it, you know and look I'm not gonna say keep it I'm gonna take my check, but it's like that is nothing that we were told we were told it was gonna be universal Only if you're making a million dollars or you're not gonna get the check But now it's like oh, well if you make $21,000 you don't get the full check if you make $78,000 you don't get the full check ridiculous
00:42:55.000But thankfully the president came out today and said that the check is going to be much bigger and I don't know if Congress will propose something new or they'll rewrite it but he said it should be much more substantial which is good.
00:45:33.000I forget exactly what the decision was, but there's a lot of monetary stimulus happening.
00:45:38.000The fiscal stimulus, they're working rapidly to do that $1 trillion, but frankly, we got a $2 trillion bailout in 2008, and this is worse than 2008, and the economy is bigger.
00:45:49.000So how do you figure that the recession is worse,
00:46:41.000So I want to see something next week or the week after that that's really serious about how are we going to keep the economy rolling?
00:46:48.000How are we going to keep everybody fed and in business?
00:46:50.000You might have to radically change the economy.
00:46:53.000You might have to radically change how people get their money and how they get their food and all these things.
00:46:58.000There should be some kind of a program that will promote working from home.
00:47:04.000That to me would seem like a serious plan.
00:47:07.000Which is to say that nobody's going to work in their businesses or if that's going to happen indefinitely then we'll invest in maybe more internet or whatever the problem is.
00:47:18.000It's eating too much bandwidth right now, right?
00:47:21.000Everybody's at home watching Netflix, playing games, working from home.
00:47:24.000Maybe invest in more internet infrastructure.
00:47:31.000Invest in these technologies if this is going to be indefinite.
00:47:34.000Because I can tell you that if people don't get back to work, and there's no end in sight of this by the way, this is not going to get better.
00:47:54.000So as far as we're concerned, there is no economy until we get some semblance of a path forward, a plan for how we're going to handle this coronavirus and how we're going to handle the working.
00:48:04.000Because just telling people to self-quarantine is not a permanent or a lasting solution on either front.
00:48:11.000So, either tell everybody it's herd immunity, and you're gonna get it, and everyone's going back to work, or figure something else out.
00:48:18.000But, you know, these kinds of, these news conferences, they're becoming less and less impressive every day.
00:48:24.000It started out big, and cash payments, and a trillion dollars, and this and that, and what did they announce yesterday?
00:48:30.000The National, what is it, the Defense Production Act, and a couple of Navy hospital ships, and, I don't mean to minimize some big things that are happening, but,
00:48:39.000Uh, this is not going to keep the economy afloat and the stock market is reflecting that.
00:48:44.000The stock market is crashing through the floor because investors are feeling the same way that I'm feeling.
00:48:49.000And they're saying that with how they're trading.
00:48:53.000So that's what's going on with the news conference today, and those are the latest relief measures.
00:48:58.000No student loan payments, no student loan interest.
00:49:02.000Trump should just cancel the student debt.
00:50:28.000And just use this, and I said this last week, and I've been saying this for the whole week, so I know probably you've heard a lot of this before, but... Hey!
00:50:59.000Bring all the troops home, seal up the border, shut down trade, de-invest from China, shut off access to our markets for China, shut down all investment into our companies from China.
00:52:19.000California, Illinois, New York State are all completely shut down.
00:52:23.000They have all issued shelter-in-place orders, and I'll read through all the different orders, what it means for everybody.
00:52:30.000In New York, Andrew Cuomo announced a statewide stay-at-home order on Friday warning New York State's 19 million residents that those who defy the expansive order could face civil fines.
00:52:42.000He said, when I talk about the most drastic action we can take, this is the most drastic action we can take.
00:52:47.000The restrictions take effect Sunday night and stipulate that all New Yorkers are ordered to work from home.
00:52:54.000Employees in essential jobs and government personnel can continue to work.
00:53:00.000Solitary walks and outdoor exercise is permitted, but all team sports are banned.
00:53:06.000Residents are allowed to go to the grocery store and run errands.
00:53:09.000Restaurants and bars can still deliver to homes.
00:53:12.000All non-essential businesses statewide must close their premises.
00:53:16.000Liquor and wine stores are classified as essential so they can stay open, as can pharmacies, grocery stores, restaurants and bars doing carry-out and delivery.
00:53:25.000Mass transit and roadways are not affected.
00:53:30.000If you play a team sport, you'll get a fine.
00:53:32.000If you're out doing anything other than running errands, if you're running a non-essential business, you'll get fined.
00:53:37.000In California, Governor Gavin Newsom announced a statewide state home order stating that while home isolation is not his preference, it's necessary to stop the spread of the virus.
00:53:47.000While Newsom stated the California police will not be actively enforcing the order, the mandate states that failure to comply could result in a misdemeanor punishable by a fine, imprisonment, or both.
00:54:02.000He said this is not a permanent state, this is a moment in time we will look at these kinds of decisions as pivotal decisions.
00:54:08.000In California, residents are allowed to run errands to the grocery store and pharmacy, walks outside are permitted while practicing social distancing,
00:54:30.000Pritzker ordered a statewide stay-at-home order stating that while he didn't come to this decision lightly, he believes that aggressive action is necessary, blah, blah, blah.
00:54:39.000He says, quote, for the vast majority of you already taking precautions, your lives will not change very much.
00:54:45.000We don't know yet all the steps you're going to have to take to get this virus under control.
00:54:55.000Excuse me, which is tomorrow and it will continue until April 7th.
00:54:59.000So this is what is this nearly a 20-day?
00:55:02.000It's a you know a little bit more than two weeks for this shelter-in-place order and this one all residents must work from home except for essential personnel Residents can go to the grocery store pharmacy.
00:55:14.000They can get gas for their cars walks outside are allowed but
00:55:18.000Social distancing guidelines have to be followed.
00:55:21.000Non-essential businesses are shut down.
00:55:56.000People stay at home, they close down their businesses, and what's going to come next week or in two weeks is not a lifting of this order, I don't believe.
00:56:03.000I think the next logical response in a lot of these places is a mandatory lockdown.
00:56:10.000This is what happened in Italy, and I said this earlier on in the show, but that this is exactly how it played out there.
00:56:16.000They shut down the restaurants, then it was all the other businesses, it was shelter in place, then it was mandatory, and they just extended it today.
00:56:24.000They just extended the lockdown in Italy today.
00:57:00.000And you have to ask yourself, are you prepared?
00:57:03.000for a lockdown like that if they were to say and I don't know that lockdown is gonna happen I think that's where it's headed it could not happen you know maybe it won't happen but I don't think that's outside the question I think maybe it's more likely than not at this point you got to think are you prepared you might be prepared for a two-week loose shelter in place where you can kind of go out and kind of not go out but you got to be prepared for the lockdown because that's what could come next
00:57:27.000And also be prepared for all the consequences of a lockdown because you can bet that not everybody's going to stay inside.
00:57:33.000And when they don't stay inside, it's going to change.
00:57:35.000They're going to say you have to stay inside.
00:59:00.000That's your coronavirus update We're gonna move on and and look at our super chats and see what you guys are saying Hopefully our super chats can brighten the mood.
00:59:10.000I know they're not gonna brighten my mood Super chats usually bring down my mood having to read through all these different things.
00:59:16.000I'm gonna take a little swig here I'm getting a little dry mouth check And by the way, don't be scared don't be scared just be prepared

01:04:00.000We are quarantining all of our TSA and airline officials.
01:04:06.000Yeah, no, please no visitors to cherry town at this time.
01:04:09.000We've got a population of five I'm sorry a population of six and nobody is infected.
01:04:15.000We'd like to keep it that way Bobby says does the third world have cleaner butts than us they use water while we just use dry toilet paper that's a good question the bidet versus the
01:05:13.000I drink yogurt shakes and protein shakes, though that's my breakfast.
01:05:18.000For lunch, you know, I can eat whatever.
01:05:19.000And, you know, dinner, we've got frozen stuff and all kinds of other groceries, so... So I haven't actually even been eating that much oatmeal.
01:05:28.000Bleep Blorps says, wash your hands after using the penthouse elevator.
01:05:32.000It's a private elevator, so no worries about that.
01:06:47.000Jaded alienated, but yet he still has but yet there is still a heart there, but there is still affection, right?
01:06:56.000So also because he's cool and like handsome, right?
01:06:59.000I don't think any of us look like Ryan Gosling We all watch Drive or like he's just like me, but you know, none of us are really I mean We're not really like Ryan Gosling
01:07:09.000Thankfully Ryan Gosling is not very tall.
01:07:11.000I don't feel so bad about being a measly six foot nine when when I see Ryan Gosling is what like five nine five ten something like that Or maybe six feet.
01:08:11.000Well, I went on the website the other day and I don't want to dox the website that we do it, but I went on the website and I didn't see that there were any issues with fulfillment.
01:08:25.000Let me go on it right now and just give you an idea.
01:08:32.000oh well let me see I think I'm in the wrong am I in the wrong thing here hmm okay well yeah looks like yeah it looks like maybe they're having some problems here let me let me pull up an update yeah we might be having some issues I didn't even check on this let's see
01:09:10.000Doesn't look like there's any issues but I don't know if I'm looking at the right information.
01:09:15.000Let me put out an update later on because it looks like they're having some problems.
01:13:29.000When it starts and when it stops is where you have to be more active.
01:13:33.000When the stream starts and when the stream ends, I'm talking about my video stream, that's when you have to kind of maneuver, and it has to be sort of dynamic.
01:13:42.000But once it's out there, I mean, you could just, you know, then you just, you know.
01:15:48.000I thought you said something about the show, but I'm gonna be honest, I didn't hear you actually.
01:16:08.000So I was at, this must have been this person, I was at the dollar store, and there's this guy coming up to the door with the shopping cart, and I'm like intercepting him, and it was very, like the timing of it was not ideal, you know, we were kind of in front of the door at the same time.
01:16:24.000Normally you like to get them when they're a little bit ahead, so you have time to get on the other side and hold the door, but I hold the door open, and this person, it must have been this person, this Brookfield Groyper,
01:16:40.000I was thinking about picking up this capture card and And this guy says something like oh, you know see you on the stream tonight around the show And I thought that's what you said, but I wasn't sure I like held it and I was like, oh, yeah, haha sure And then I went over by the candy section.
01:16:58.000I said did that guy say something about my show?
01:17:40.000My favorite restaurant that I go to the manager there knew me which was awesome guy comes I had like a tray full of food and the guy comes up and he was like are you Nick Fuentes and I was like on my way to my table it was kind of like in a hallway and I was like and the guy was like taller than me and I just have like my tray of food and I totally caught me off guard I'm like oh yeah
01:18:03.000I'm not gonna say what food was on I don't want to dox the guy but I got my tray you can imagine french fries was involved I got my tray full of food and this big tall this big tall Chad comes up and he's like hey are you Nick Fuentes and I'm just like oh yeah and he's like hey dude I'm a big fan blah blah blah totally cool guy I think he knows Patrick Patrick Casey
01:18:25.000Anyways, that was the only other time.
01:19:29.000I'm not that's that's like a very good like photo op moment for me That's like one of those You know when a politician does a photo op of them like handing out, you know rations during a disaster or something
01:23:52.000All manufacturing has been halted in China, okay?
01:23:56.000You don't have entire economies shut down and not have shortages.
01:24:00.000There's no economic system except for hoarding.
01:24:03.000Except for if the government was just buying ungodly amounts of product and then burning it on a regular basis to prepare for something like this.
01:24:12.000So I don't know of any economic system that doesn't have shortages in times of crisis.
01:24:52.000And that's what you have to think about.
01:24:53.000This is the disruption with a black swan event.
01:24:56.000You know, two good super chats that outline our current situation.
01:25:00.000This is the level of disruption with a sustained pressure from a really like once-in-a-lifetime event.
01:25:06.000Imagine when you get sustained pressure like this from other things, like crime, like other consequences of demographic change, immigration, lawlessness, etc.
01:25:26.000These supply chains will be disrupted and that is what Brazilification looks like.
01:25:32.000We live in a modern, advanced, developed country where we don't have to worry about cleanliness and reliability of services and different things.
01:28:39.000Not that any of that was the case, but I feel like, for the most part, people weren't concerned about imminent, catastrophic, civilizational doom, you know?
01:34:16.000I wish I could almost have... I don't even know.
01:34:20.000The idea of going back to being a youth and like playing a ball game at dusk when it's misting is like...
01:34:28.000There's something about that which I feel like when when Gilgamesh goes to the end of the world to find out the secret to immortality I feel like that that that's like that location.
01:34:39.000It's like the surreal like sort of Outside of time and space it's on another plane Going back to the to the baseball diamond in like third grade or fourth grade and it's it's dusk it's like seven o'clock and it begins to rain and
01:37:42.000Beast Nibba says Kang still be ballin ain't nothing but the flu NYC heart yeah, it's such such great resilience by our black friends to not take this seriously Josh the remover says the lonely knicker seems to free his mind at night.
01:38:01.000day and night at at night yeah i remember that song that song came out when i was in grade school very like formative song the crookers remix hello crookers remix check today i went to target and i haven't been to target in a long time usually i shop at walmart because normally when i'm shopping i'm shopping at midnight or later and target doesn't you know stay open 24 hours
01:38:29.000And I was in Target, and an old Justin Bieber song was on, and it was, like, euphoric.
01:38:51.000Back to when my mom would drag me to Target, and I'd be in the kids' section, you know, looking at Star Wars toys, looking at Nerf guns, Legos, Lego City.
01:39:09.000When are we going to get a total and complete shutdown until we can control time and the passage of time through our fingers, through our fingertips?
01:41:17.000I was like, you know when the wrestlers, they do their entrance and then they walk to the ring, I was like right next to where they walk for their entrance.
01:41:27.000And after the Raw live event, the taping of it ended, Triple H was going back, you know, back behind stage, and he took off, like, his elbow pad or his wristband or something, and he gave it to the kid next to me!
01:42:54.000I got nothing left to do today in Animal Crossing.
01:42:58.000Epic Swag says, what would the old 2015 Nick say about Israel?
01:43:02.0002015 Nick would say that Israel is our closest ally, and that the only reason people don't like them is they're anti-Semitic, and anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism, and I would say that they're a shining beacon of democracy in a sea of barbarity.
01:43:22.000The only democracy in the Middle East.
01:44:22.000And the idea was these Muslims are taking over Europe and Muslims are coming here and Islam, you know, is still like fundamentally a 9-11 paradigm.
01:44:29.000And in that context, in the context of Islam versus the West, Israel seemed like a, you know, forward, forward settled or
01:44:38.000You know, forward operating base for the war against radical Islam.
01:44:41.000But then, you flip the paradigm and you look at, like, international influence and globalism and, you know, immigration and neocons and con-inc, and then it's a totally different, then it's a totally different picture.
01:44:55.000Holy Servant says, great, now WatchMojo is gonna get an ADL article.
01:46:15.000Yeah, I've never been a believer in this, that the Bible is like this, you know, guide to current events.
01:46:22.000No, I mean, look, I believe in the Bible, but the idea that, what does Jesus say?
01:46:27.000You don't know the day or the hour when I'm coming back, so.
01:46:32.000Whenever people say, it's the end of the world, sell your stocks, it's the end of the world, you know, there have been plagues before, there have been wars before, there have been degeneracy before, in different times, in different places, and we don't know.
01:46:46.000You gotta be prepared for a spiritual end, not a temporal end.
01:46:51.000You should be prepared for disasters, but if the world is ending, there's only one thing you should do, and that's go to confession.
01:49:02.000We have sort of a sardonic sense of humor and worldview because my family's been through a lot of tough times.
01:49:09.000My parents, their parents, their grandparents.
01:49:12.000So and there's a lot of negativity and you know I don't I'm not saying that to blame anybody or like it's a bad thing.
01:49:19.000I mean my everyone in my family led a very very
01:49:22.000Tough and hard and tragic life and when that happens you are resilient But I mean you come out of it think acting and thinking a little different.
01:49:31.000We're tough people We're better off for it, but that's the way we are.
01:49:34.000We're not like a lot of these white people Well, and I'm not referring to Jaden I don't know what Jaden's gone through but a lot of white people are very like hi.
01:54:57.000Obergroipen with the Ninjagini, thanks.
