00:00:23.000and kind of a crazy week with this coronavirus pandemic escalating in the United States but that's okay but we're gonna have a good show in spite of all the craziness in spite of the transmission of the disease the collapse of the stock market we're gonna be hanging out we're gonna be having a low-key chill casual stream and you could tell that it's gonna be casual because of course I'm not wearing a necktie
00:00:53.000And when I'm not wearing a necktie, that's when you know that it's gonna be relaxed.
00:00:58.000That's when you know it's gonna be low-key.
00:01:00.000So tonight, of course, we are talking about the coronavirus... yet again.
00:01:07.000I'm getting... I don't know about you, I'm getting a little... I'm getting a little tired of it.
00:01:12.000On the one hand, it's big news and it's what's going on.
00:01:16.000And I guess everybody wants to know what is the latest but it also is a little oversaturated.
00:01:22.000It's like every day it's coronavirus and everybody's talking about it and at a certain point it's like it's something else.
00:02:01.000It just it just goes on right it just trudges on and we're gonna get into the latest developments today of course the big development which we actually already I mean basically covered today if you watch the stream I did a stream earlier today this afternoon I covered the president's news conference and the White House Rose Garden where he announced a state of emergency
00:02:23.000So we covered that just a few hours ago.
00:02:26.000It was at three o'clock, around three o'clock, so yeah something like four, a little bit over four hours ago.
00:02:34.000We covered the news conference live and everything that it entailed and we'll go over a little bit of that tonight.
00:02:41.000What was said in the news conference, the state of emergency, what that means, some of the other measures that are
00:02:50.000Going to come into place or go into place this weekend We'll talk about the effect of the announcement on the stock market and some other things So it should be a pretty good show.
00:03:00.000You know, we're back talking about this and I have to say that I'm reassured
00:03:05.000The past couple of days have been rough.
00:03:07.000Since the president's televised address, was that on Wednesday, I believe?
00:03:12.000Since the televised address on Wednesday, I feel like things have changed in the United States.
00:03:18.000We've been watching the coronavirus now since December, January, somewhere around there.
00:03:23.000And we watched it in China for a long time and more recently we've been watching it in South Korea and Italy and something really changed on Wednesday when the president did his address from the Oval Office.
00:03:36.000I think that made it real for a lot of people and although we haven't seen the number of confirmed cases in the United States skyrocket like it's been doing in Europe, in Italy, Iran, South Korea,
00:03:48.000We know that that is the result of testing and other variables, and regardless of that number, it is now real.
00:04:42.000It was a lot of talking today in the press conference and a lot of plans and a lot of ideas and of course we will have to see how that is all implemented.
00:04:52.000If the plans are going to work, if they're implemented effectively, you know, to what extent we can count on the federal government to competently respond to something like this quickly and adequately, that remains to be seen.
00:05:04.000So we'll have to watch this weekend to see what happens and the next week, but I really do believe that the next couple of weeks will give us an idea of to what extent we'll have to worry
00:05:57.000While President Trump was giving the news conference, the stock market rebounded 10%.
00:06:01.000S&P 500, Nasdaq, Dow Jones rebounded about 9, 9.5%.
00:06:06.000And today was, and as I said, we'll get into this, there's more details to come, but this was the single biggest gain for the stock market since October 2008.
00:06:21.000And we know that because when you have a big recession, a big collapse, then you have a commensurate rebound.
00:06:27.000And that is essentially what happened today.
00:06:29.000Even though we're down something like 8 or 10% for the week, we're up 10% today.
00:06:34.000And that was during the President's news conference.
00:06:38.000And the reason I say that it might be reassuring but it also might be suspect
00:07:01.000Why I say it is suspect is because maybe that was the design of the news conference and there was something that was very different or notable about the conference which is to say that you had all of these major business leaders, CEOs, that were involved in the news conference.
00:07:19.000It was the head of Walgreens, the head of Target, the head of Walmart, the head of Roche, a laboratory,
00:07:26.000And they all came out there in the Rose Garden at three o'clock right up until the close of the markets for the day.
00:07:34.000All these major CEOs of big cap companies, publicly traded companies, to say that everything's under control and stocks rebounded as a result of that.
00:07:45.000You have to wonder, partly, did they bring all these people out?
00:07:50.000for a short-term stock market gain right to close off the week strong before the weekend what was that a calculated decision by the president but we'll get into all of that that's just some of my thoughts something a little bit new that we didn't so much discuss on the stream earlier but before we dive into that I just want to give you a little brief reminder this weekend there's actually going to be a little bit of a break from this coronavirus stuff
00:08:17.000Of course the show is Monday through Friday, but Sunday is going to be the final, I believe it's the 12th, the 12th and final Democratic presidential debate will be on Sunday the 15th, this weekend.
00:09:20.000I'll be covering that on DLive on Sunday.
00:09:22.000So, be sure to stay tuned on Telegram and Twitter.
00:09:26.000I'll post more information more details about that probably tomorrow or at the latest maybe Sunday morning or afternoon so just be aware about that we'll be doing a stream this weekend and that should be good it'll break up the monotony a little bit break it up
00:09:42.000You know, have a little bit of a diversion from the coronavirus because it feels like, you know, those have been the two big stories.
00:09:49.000It's the primary and then it's the coronavirus.
00:09:51.000And some days it's the primary and some days it's the coronavirus.
00:09:55.000For the past week it's been the virus.
00:09:59.000So it feels a little bit refreshing to talk about that.
00:10:02.000And it'll be interesting, you know, to me it seems almost pointless now to even have a debate and honestly to even go through with these primaries.
00:10:21.000Bernie Sanders has a .1% chance of becoming the nominee.
00:10:25.000By winning all the delegates or a majority of the delegates outright so to me it's kind of stupid that we're even going forward with it but it's content it's fun it'll be interesting to see so we'll be doing that on Sunday and we'll probably be covering the primaries on Tuesday if they go off as planned but you know that being said things could change very rapidly in the in the coming days
00:10:47.000That's the thing about this virus is that it is really taking it day by day.
00:10:52.000You're seeing how quickly the situation is evolving.
00:10:55.000Last week, none of this was happening.
00:10:58.000It was on Tuesday that we were talking, and I said this yesterday, but it was only on Tuesday, three days ago, that we were talking about the first city to be contained, New Rochelle, and the first college to tell their kids not to return from spring break, which was Harvard.
00:11:42.000Maybe we won't have a lot of things by Tuesday.
00:11:44.000We'll have to, like I said, take a wait-and-see approach.
00:11:48.000Aside from that, just another thing about the stream today.
00:11:52.000If you missed my stream this afternoon, I watched the news conference live, I gave a little banter to James Alsup, and I also watched that CBS documentary that we talked about a little bit last night.
00:12:05.000I covered all that in a stream this afternoon, and if you want to watch it, it's available on this channel.
00:14:07.000And I did just want to talk briefly about that CBS documentary.
00:14:11.000In case you didn't catch the stream this afternoon, we did talk about it last night.
00:14:17.000Excuse me, if you stuck around for the Super Chats, somebody mentioned to me that, and I didn't even recognize it at first, I had no idea what the Super Chatter was talking about, but somebody said, oh that CBS documentary that you were in finally dropped.
00:14:32.000I'm not going to spend a ton of time on this because I know probably a lot of you watched the stream this afternoon.
00:14:53.000To me, when people repeat themselves, it's just like intolerable.
00:14:57.000Literally, when people tell me the same thing twice, it's maybe the most annoying thing in the world.
00:15:02.000It's the worst thing you can do to me.
00:15:04.000That's why I hated school, because it was just people circling back to the same thing over and over again.
00:15:34.000You don't want to, you know, interview me about my YouTube channel and how great I'm doing.
00:15:39.000You want to come into my house and film a hit piece.
00:15:42.000You want to come into my studio, penetrate my castle, my sanctum, and you want to steal footage of my face and my likeness and turn it into a hit piece about how I'm a racist and an extremist and, you know, evil, whatever.
00:16:20.000And, you know, the point I just want to drive home, which I don't think I actually even got to yesterday or today on the stream, is just how bad journalists are.
00:16:28.000I didn't really touch on this on the stream this afternoon, and I didn't talk about it on the Super Chats last night, but I really want to stress this.
00:16:39.000In case, and I know probably everybody watching this knows that by now,
00:16:43.000Probably, and this is one of the best things that Trump has done, is that probably most Trump supporters and most conservatives are now outright hostile towards the media and that's one of the best developments, one of the best political social developments maybe in the country's history.
00:17:08.000And they're the worst kinds of hostiles.
00:17:11.000They're not even, you almost think about the kinds of stories they tell about the American Revolution.
00:17:16.000Where they talk about the American Revolution, where, you know, the British Army used to fight by wearing uniforms, and they would march in lines, and they would fight in a gentleman way.
00:17:27.000I don't know how historically accurate this is, but, you know, this is what you learn in history class, that the British were vulnerable because they fought like gentlemen, and they fought with uniforms and in lines, and the Americans were guerrilla warfare, they were in the trees, you know, and they would ambush them and so on.
00:17:44.000And that's almost how I feel about the journalists, is they're almost even different than some of our other political adversaries.
00:17:50.000We're at least somebody like a Gerard Holt.
00:17:53.000Somebody like a Gerard Holt, what you see is what you get.
00:17:57.000And he's a weasel, and he's a snake, and he's a terrible guy, but he doesn't pretend that he isn't.
00:18:02.000You know, he doesn't try to sell you on anything.
00:18:05.000He's not trying to dupe you or set you up.
00:18:08.000I mean, his mission is to hurt you, and he doesn't lie about that.
00:18:12.000I'm sure he would lie if it would benefit him, but you know what I'm saying.
00:18:15.000He's more or less in a uniform, and even if he is a weasel, he's identifiable.
00:18:20.000These kinds of journalists from the major networks are not like this.
00:18:24.000They're the kinds of people, and I put this out on Twitter,
00:19:58.000They sat around and said, we're gonna try and trick somebody.
00:20:02.000Nobody would ever agree to this project if we told them what it is, so let's lie to them.
00:20:07.000Let's pretend that it's going to be something else, and then once we get in their house, then we'll ask these leading questions, and we'll fuck with them, you know what I mean?
00:20:37.000Wow, thanks so much for helping us out.
00:20:40.000Ah, so if we could just, you know, set you up with an interview here and we're gonna get our lights guys in and whatever.
00:20:45.000They come into your home, you know, you invite them into your home and you talk to them, you level with them and you come to the table with a little bit of good faith or
00:21:08.000To say that, you know, this person they just shook hands with and were so nice, that person's a racist, they're an anti-Semite, they're a Nazi, they're a terrorist.
00:21:43.000That's who we're talking about with journalists.
00:21:46.000And a lot of people already have it in their heads that, oh, like, journalists lie, or journalists are liberal, or journalists are trying to make the president look bad, but it goes way beyond that.
00:23:08.000You're evil and you're trying to harm me.
00:23:10.000So, even when their plot is foiled and exposed and it doesn't work, just to take it a step further, they will then take that.
00:23:18.000I went on my show later that night after I posted their email and I put them on blast and exposed what they were doing and predicted to a tee exactly what their plot was.
00:23:29.000I went on my show that night and I said, this is how bad you're... everything I just said.
00:23:34.000I said, you know, these people are sick, they'll shake your hand, they'll deceive you, and on and on, right?
00:23:40.000And I said, you have to treat journalists like shit, because they're your enemy.
00:23:44.000They then take that clip, put it in their hit piece, even if you don't agree to the interview, they take that clip, put it in the hit piece, and make them the victim.
00:23:54.000Then they make themselves out to be the victim, and they say, oh, we were just doing an investigation, and this YouTuber said journalists should be treated like shit, and look, all his followers attacked us!
00:24:08.000And I started to draft a tweet and I couldn't even finish it because it was like so bordering on Fed posting and breaking terms of service.
00:24:16.000But I was going to say that these people are reality benders.
00:24:29.000The most evil, the most profound evil about these reality manipulators, because that's what they are, is bending perception, bending truth, these calculated schemes and plots and all that, and their level of trickery and deceit is almost on another level.
00:25:08.000We're all familiar with Jake Tapper not liking the president and, oh, we're gonna give him bad headlines or something like that.
00:25:14.000But this is just like on such another level.
00:25:17.000We're gonna cook up this plot, we're gonna do this Trojan horse thing, get in your home, film you, use your likeness in a hit piece that makes you a terrorist even though, you know, we said we liked you and are friendly and so on.
00:25:30.000And if you're wise to all of that and you call us out, we're gonna take that and use that to make us the victims.
00:25:37.000Oh, this is a story now about journalists under attack, you know?
00:25:47.000The noble investigative journalist who is trying to uncover clandestine terror networks and they're being dehumanized by the right-wing content creator just for their investigation.
00:25:58.000The level of deception, reality distortion, it's satanic.
00:26:02.000Because, you know, a fundamental understanding of Christianity and religion and, you know, to even have a moral compass is that it's all based upon the logos, right?
00:26:56.000And so that you have people that work in Hollywood, that work in these loci of demonic energy, these cities like DC, Hollywood, New York City, and their job is to bend reality, cook up lies, all these tricks, technological, editorial and otherwise, to bend and warp and, you know, deceive.
00:27:18.000It really gives you an idea of, on an esoteric level, how, like, the extent of the evil, the profoundness of the evil that we're dealing with here.
00:27:28.000And I see this and there's nothing that just makes my stomach turn more than seeing this Yamaguchi guy, that was the, uh, that was the executive producer of this documentary, this Yamaguchi, yuppie, uh, you know, fit, cosmopolitan Asian investigative journalist for CBS going around and
00:27:47.000Huh, wow, you're talking to some ADL experts and, you know, listening attentively about, attentively about, uh, you know, radicalization through memes and video games and so on.
00:28:04.000I mean, I probably don't need to tell this audience, I'm preaching to the choir, but it's important to acknowledge the depth of the depravity, the sickness that we're talking about.
00:28:13.000That is why we know that what we're doing is right, because we're telling the truth.
00:28:19.000Because when I meet you guys, and when you watch this show, you know that I'm being sincere.
00:30:09.000The president hosted a news conference at three o'clock eastern in the Rose Garden of the White House and it was anticipated
00:30:20.000And it turned out to be the case that he was going to announce a state of emergency.
00:30:24.000That was the big news today, is the president announced a state of emergency for the country for the coronavirus.
00:30:31.000And we've seen the state of emergency declared by a number of different cities and states.
00:30:37.000New York City has declared a state of emergency.
00:30:39.000The Maryland governor, I believe, the Washington governor.
00:30:43.000So it's been happening across the country now it's a federal state of emergency and that means a few things and I'll read an article about this kind of detailing what what that will entail this is from Fox News I'm sorry this is from NBC
00:30:56.000It says, quote, President Donald Trump on Friday announced a new series of measures to combat the coronavirus and treat those who are affected while pushing back on criticism that his administration was unprepared to confront the pandemic.
00:31:09.000Speaking in the White House Rose Garden, Trump declared a national emergency that could free up to $50 billion to help fight the pandemic and said that he was empowering the Secretary of Health and Human Services to waive certain laws and regulations
00:31:24.000To ensure that the virus can be contained and patients treated.
00:31:28.000He said quote, to unleash the full power of the federal government, I am declaring a national emergency.
00:31:33.000Trump said the action would open up access to $50 billion for states and territories and localities and our shared fight against this disease.
00:31:43.000Flanked by Vice President Mike Pence, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar and other top federal officials and corporate executives from companies such as Walmart, Trump said that the ability to waive certain laws and regulations would allow for easier admission to nursing homes
00:32:00.000So basically in the news conference you have the state of... there were three big components as far as I'm concerned.
00:32:32.000And what this does is it allows FEMA to come in and it opens up emergency funding, $50 billion, and it allows a cost-sharing with the states.
00:32:42.000That a lot of the states that are going to be increasing their expenditures for health and that kind of stuff to respond to the coronavirus, they can basically bill the federal government and do a little cost-sharing.
00:32:54.000So you have the national emergency, which is going to help inject some, you know,
00:33:00.000That's going to allow the president to put some more money towards mobilizing healthcare resources, cut some red tape, cut regulations, allow hospitals to, you know, put in place some new measures to keep hospitals open, extend the length of the stays, and so on.
00:33:17.000You've also got, at the same time as the state of emergency, you've got the testing.
00:33:59.000Cycles with disease that the way that it's set up is it's set up so that anybody can get access to a test at any time But that really doesn't make sense with the kind of volume of testing that's needed in other words It seems to me from what I could understand.
00:34:18.000I'm not a healthcare expert so I don't understand really how it was set up perfectly.
00:34:22.000But from what I understand, the way that our testing laboratories are set up is so that if you want a test, well, it's available and anybody can get one and so on.
00:34:33.000But that is with the understanding that you're not going to have millions of people getting tests, right?
00:34:38.000It's going to be people that need a test as prescribed by a doctor.
00:34:41.000There's not like this bum rush for testing.
00:34:44.000And so really, and maybe if I don't have a perfect understanding if that's not an adequate explanation, the point that they tried to make is that really you had a testing system which was ill-equipped to handle
00:34:57.000The volume of tests that are now required that you now need probably millions of tests And the system is just not really designed for that load for for that many tests in that short amount of time Especially when a lot of the tests are being The labs are being processed manually and that requires personnel and technicians and so on
00:35:19.000And there's limited laboratory space as it is.
00:35:22.000So they said that they're overhauling the process, they're involving the private sector, they're enlisting Google.
00:35:28.000And what they're going to do, and you saw the chart that they unveiled there, you may have seen it, they're going to bring aboard Google.
00:35:34.000Google will help design a website where if people suspect that they have the coronavirus, they will go on a Google website, a Google-powered website, which will give them a questionnaire.
00:35:46.000And the questionnaire will see if they have symptoms, if they have the warning signs of coronavirus, and if they don't, well then their process stops there.
00:35:55.000If the questionnaire comes back negative, you know, it doesn't seem like you have coronavirus, then the process stops there.
00:36:02.000But if the symptoms check out, then they'll be directed to find the nearest drive-thru testing center.
00:36:09.000People will go to their drive-thru testing center.
00:36:12.000The results will be made available within 24 to 36 hours on a website.
00:36:17.000And people will be able to access their results digitally.
00:36:20.000In order to set up these drive-thru testing sites across the country, I guess the US government is going to work with Walmart.
00:36:28.000And they're going to set up a lot of these uh what do they call them triages or tents they're going to set up these drive through i don't know i don't know if that's the right terminology but they're going to set up these drive-through uh camps basically is camp the right word they're going to set up drive-through centers where people can go to these walmart parking lots and i suspect they do that because virtually every major city or settlement or town has a walmart
00:37:14.000And I know it's gonna sound so repetitive, but we've been saying all week the biggest variable, the biggest factor in how the United States will respond to the virus, to what extent the healthcare system will be overburdened, to what extent we can contain it and stop the transmission, is the extent to which we can test as many people as possible.
00:37:38.000And so that to me was the most reassuring thing about this press conference is that they are mobilizing the private and the public sector to produce more testing kits, to build up testing centers, to make it more available and cheaper and quicker to get the testing results.
00:37:56.000And so, to me, to hear that there's a plan and we'll see how well that's implemented, I imagine if it's anything like healthcare.gov with Obamacare, you know, other government healthcare fiascos, there's no guarantee that it's all going to play out exactly to a tee according to the plan they unveiled today, but that they are beginning to mobilize, that it seems there are experts involved in this,
00:38:18.000It's a little bit reassuring that we have some answers because as of yesterday I was thinking, you know, it's great and all that we have liquidity being injected.
00:38:27.000It's great and all that we have the travel ban but you're really not even beginning to begin.
00:38:33.000You're not even starting to start to solve the problem if you don't have the testing kits.
00:38:39.000And I've explained it a hundred times at this point.
00:38:42.000So to hear that they're building up these drive-thru centers and they're involving the private sector is
00:38:48.000So that was the second component and then there was some sort of miscellaneous items as a third component.
00:38:55.000The president announced that he was waiving all student loan interest which to me I didn't even catch that.
00:39:02.000I don't know if I just zoned out when he said that because it was a long statement and Trump was off his game
00:39:09.000But I didn't catch that when I was I'm gonna be honest I didn't catch that maybe I zoned out I was looking at live chat when he said that but that was in the news that he's waiving all interest not the debt but he's not the principal he's waiving all interest on student loan debt
00:39:53.000If you were paying full boat you're paying what is that $27,000 per semester for three months of education and you imagine that if your semester gets cut in half and they're telling people don't come back from spring break you're taking online classes
00:40:08.000You know, that's, you know, if that's half a semester, and your semester cost you $15,000, $30,000, that's between $7,500 and $15,000 that you're just out of luck with, right?
00:40:19.000So, in some sense, it is maybe to compensate for that.
00:40:22.000In another way to look at it, it's a stimulus, it is a financial relief measure, which I think is a great idea.
00:40:32.000The Oval Office address that the President made on Wednesday was very reassuring at the time because to me this was the first time that I've heard an actual sensible plan on how to address the financial contagion that's happening.
00:40:48.000Which is to say that monetary stimulus doesn't make any sense.
00:40:52.000And we saw yesterday the Federal Reserve injected 1.5 trillion dollars of liquidity into the market.
00:41:00.000They gave out 1.5 trillion dollars in loans to banks and this propped up the stock market for 10 minutes and then all the value that accrued was eliminated immediately.
00:41:21.000So it was reassuring to hear him on Wednesday say that, well, we're going to do a fiscal stimulus, fiscal meaning budgetary, and the way that we'll do that is we'll delay the taxes we're going to collect for the Treasury, we will defer that, we will do payroll tax relief, and we're going to do these small business loans.
00:41:39.000So to see now that we're going to do these student loan interest waivers, to me that's more stimulus that will work.
00:41:48.000And they said that we're really, Steve Mnuchin, the Treasury Secretary, he said yesterday that we're in the second inning of financial relief for the coronavirus.
00:41:59.000and this is brought up in the news conference one of the journalists asked about that remark and the president said that there's actually a lot more items that they are considering a lot more stimulus so we could hypothetically see this weekend or next week we could see a package passed through the congress which might be those small business loans we could see payroll tax relief we could see a tax cut i mean there could be a lot of fiscal stimulus and maybe extraordinary measures on top of that we have no idea you know if
00:42:29.000If $50 billion in loans and payroll tax relief and deferring the Treasury collecting taxes and waiving student loan interest, if that's the second inning, what does the fifth inning look like?
00:42:40.000What does the seventh inning look like?
00:43:11.000This is a crisis and my my father I have to give credit to my father on this back in 2008 he my father's a business person and he 2008 was obviously very rough year and he does some business with China actually and
00:43:31.000And I think it's kind of corny, but it's very true.
00:43:35.000I think it's kind of corny, but it is totally accurate.
00:43:38.000He said that when the market collapsed and it was the worst day and they were having a lot of trouble, he said that he went into the office and he wrote on a whiteboard the Chinese word.
00:43:52.000But he said that he wrote on this whiteboard in the office the Chinese word for crisis.
00:43:57.000And apparently, I don't know how true this is, I don't know if this is like one of these colloquial expressions that's totally bullshit but, you know, people perpetuate over the years.
00:44:07.000Maybe it's true, maybe it's not, I don't know.
00:44:09.000But he wrote that the Chinese word for crisis is actually risk, what is it?
00:44:20.000And so, what I mean to say about this, wise sage words from my father.
00:44:26.000I don't know if that's original or not or if he thought of that but but the point being is when you look at this coronavirus situation we have all been looking at the downside.
00:44:36.000We've all been looking at the downside, which is recession, at the very least a bear market, a correction.
00:44:43.000We're looking at 40 to 70% of the population getting infected, some are saying, to develop herd immunity.
00:44:51.000That's what Boris Johnson, Merkel, even Trump has said this, or officials in the government, right?
00:45:13.000When things get shaken up and there's dynamism introduced into the system, that is when we have a real opportunity.
00:45:22.000The status quo in the system thrives when things are predictable, when things are controlled, when things are stable.
00:45:28.000They have a very precarious control over everything and that is why they prefer this sort of orderly, predictable, and even if it's not necessarily orderly in the way we like to think about it, it's if there is disorder, it's disorder in a way that benefits the system.
00:45:45.000It's this anarcho-tyranny system, right?
00:45:48.000And so when we look at this coronavirus, at once there is a big risk, but there's also a big opportunity for the president to use this crisis to make huge moves.
00:46:24.000And everybody will probably be affected, have their lives disrupted, and will be adversely affected either economically or their health will be compromised.
00:46:33.000And there will be enough fear and enough panic which will create a sufficient pretext for Trump to wield the state, finally.
00:46:43.000In the way that we always intended for him to do.
00:46:47.000Which means that maybe this is the door that we can use to build a border wall.
00:46:52.000Maybe this is the pretext that we can use to do an infrastructure bill.
00:47:01.000Maybe things that are even beyond that.
00:47:04.000So, I would suggest, if anybody's watching this in the administration, I know I've got some friends in the administration, or people that are out there, or maybe I'm just putting this out there to the void, maybe I'm just telling you this, but this could be a pretty remarkable opportunity, rather than thinking, oh Trump better play it safe,
00:47:23.000You know, he's really on the edge here, he's on the ropes.
00:47:27.000Another way to think of it is, if he plays this right, if he's able to turn this around, he can use this momentum from coronavirus and harness it to really go balls to the wall in this last, what is it, eight months remaining before the election?
00:47:46.000And so I see this in the past two days and what I'm seeing is action by the federal government I am seeing sweeping dramatic
00:47:59.000Extraordinary action by the federal government and just just think of what is possible if we wielded that a little bit more aggressively and perhaps a little bit more cynically I hate to say but a little bit more cynically and practically and realistically towards our political ends.
00:48:17.000I know us Republicans were very stupid like this we like to say oh well we would never do anything
00:50:27.000Help our friends and accomplish what we set out to accomplish in 2016.
00:50:32.000You can't get things done when nothing's happening.
00:50:35.000You can't get things done when everybody's comfortable and everybody's locked into place and all the bureaucrats and all these every other you know person in the mechanisms of the executive branch when they're all locked in there's not much you can do.
00:50:49.000When people are confused and anxious and afraid and there's a panic and there's a demand for action you'd be surprised at what can be accomplished.
00:50:56.000We need to use this as the fire to mold a new politics for the country.
00:51:04.000You know, if you think about it as like a forge, if you think about the president as a blacksmith, this kind of a crisis will be the fire, the blazing fire that we can use to build weapons, to build something that will endure after this administration is gone.
00:51:23.000Because, you know, what I've seen, I'm not really impressed with.
00:51:52.000This is your FDR, Ronald Reagan moment.
00:51:56.000When you can become a great president and use the leverage that you get, the political capital that you make handling this, to rewrite history for the good guys.
00:52:21.000Because this administration has been a mess.
00:52:25.000The personnel, the outside influence of Zionists and Wall Street and other influences is bad.
00:52:33.000But if we, and there are, there have been some key changes that have taken place, I can't get too specific for reasons I can't get into, but there have been some key changes in recent times that
00:52:46.000If we can get our guys in there, and we can get things going in the right direction, and maybe this might sound fantastical, but these are crazy times.
00:52:57.000And what I heard today was so white-pilling, it really got me to thinking.
00:53:01.000I forget the exact quote, but the president said something to the effect of, you know, I will use the federal government, I will not hesitate to use the federal government, any means necessary to protect our people.
00:53:12.000And I'm thinking we could change the fucking world with that mentality.
00:53:16.000And with this crisis in our lap, we can change the world.
00:53:59.000We can rewrite how we think of ourselves and our orientation as a nation in the world based upon this.
00:54:07.000We can change our relationship with the world indefinitely if we go about this the right way.
00:54:13.000That after we get over corona, if this is done correctly rhetorically and with policy, we can make it such that coronavirus was an inflection point for globalism and for globalization.
00:54:26.000That globalization was going, going, going.
00:54:29.000Donald Trump came along and people realized its flaws.
00:54:34.000Coronavirus hits, and then that's when you see globalization begin to recede.
00:54:39.000That is when you see a great turning inward of the nation, building up our independence, dependence on our own manufacturing, on our own supplies, on our own people.
00:54:52.000A turning inward against global commerce, against global trade and population movements and so on.
00:55:01.000A breaking off and a shirking of all these entangling alliances like Europe and Israel and Japan and all these other useless countries in a crisis like this.
00:55:14.000But, like I said, I'm not optimistic that that's gonna happen.
00:55:17.000You know, a lot of people used to think that this would happen on day one, when President got into office.
00:55:23.000A lot of people had these expectations when Donald Trump got inaugurated.
00:55:27.000They thought that Donald Trump would get inaugurated, and then it would be rounding up illegals and shipping them back, and Russia's our best friend, and all the wars are over, and we're putting all the troops on the border, and building up a 30-foot... And I said, you know, you gotta manage your expectations.
00:55:43.000But now that we have this crisis, now that becomes a reality.
00:55:47.000Now things that were impossible before suddenly become possible.
00:55:52.000In these crazy times, crazy things become possible.
00:55:55.000So that's something that I think a lot about.
00:55:58.000But in any case, we're going to move on from that and I want to talk a little bit about the stock market and then we'll take your Super Chats and we'll see what you guys have to say about this.
00:56:08.000I don't think anybody else has talked about that or discussed that angle, but that is like
00:56:13.000It really, like, it's firing my, you know, I don't want to say Fed posting, but the white pill is firing up in my brain just thinking about what is possible.
00:56:46.000Our biggest enemy is the lethargy of the system.
00:56:51.000The system's preference is for passivity, for the status quo, for relying on precedent, for lethargy, for not moving forward, because the system benefits them.
00:57:02.000Why would they want to innovate, reinvent the wheel?
00:57:04.000They're all getting richer every year, right?
00:57:07.000Even with like the stock market stock market goes down you pump a little bit more money, right?
00:57:13.000Our strength is we were where we can derive strength is Having a preference for action always having a preference for upsetting disrupting change bold maneuvers, it doesn't matter if they don't work and
00:57:27.000It doesn't matter if we do something bold and it's not perfect.
00:57:30.000It doesn't matter if it's not perfectly well thought out.
00:57:32.000We don't need a perfect plan or even an alternative.
00:57:36.000We need a preference for disruption and for action.
00:57:40.000Things like this, that's the golden opportunity for that.
00:57:44.000That breaks the lethargy of this system and particularly of our movement, of the broader American right.
00:57:51.000So that kind of disruption that that is when we have to rethink and reformulate and create new modes of being and that that is where we can take the advantage but but I do want to move on talk a little bit about the stock market then we'll take the super chats so after the news conference stocks rebounded
00:58:09.000Best day for stocks since October 2008.
00:58:12.000Stocks are up about 9% across the board.
00:58:16.000A little bit more than 9% for the NASDAQ, the S&P, and the Dow Jones.
00:58:22.000And I said I would address this a little bit.
00:58:26.000I have to say, my initial reaction is this is great.
00:58:31.000President comes out, reassures everybody.
00:58:34.000We've got this public-private partnership to address coronavirus.
00:58:39.000We've got a plan to mobilize healthcare resources.
00:58:42.000We've got the national emergency, which will inject additional funds.
00:58:46.000We're about to produce more testing kits and make them available.
00:58:50.000And this is reassuring the markets, and the markets are going up again.
00:58:54.000But I saw Sean was talking about this a little bit, and it made me think.
00:58:58.000The timing of the news conference and the players involved, to me, seems to be a little bit coincidental.
00:59:04.000That you've got, speaking in the Rose Garden today, the head of Walmart, the head of Target, the head of Walgreens, the head of Roche, the head of, I think that's the company, right?
00:59:15.000The head of, what is it, Quantum Labs or something like that?
00:59:20.000But all these major private sector firms, all these major private sector firms who are huge publicly traded companies on the stock market, and you understand that if the government is partnering with them then that means that they will remain solvent.
00:59:50.000And so it's very convenient, the timing.
00:59:53.000The timing of this conference was 3 o'clock Eastern Time, pretty close to when markets close.
00:59:58.000And you've got all these big private sector people there, and we're essentially underwriting their businesses, and we're going to be funneling money towards them, I'm sure, with Walmart and Target and all these people doing their part.
01:00:09.000They're saying, we want to serve America.
01:00:11.000Well, you know, I think you'll make some money along the way or get some financial relief, right?
01:00:16.000And then the markets pump up after this.
01:00:18.000Now do you think that the markets were responding to that and it was just they were reassured or do you think that this was just totally calculated?
01:00:25.000That what essentially the president did was put on a show right before the markets close on Friday at the end of the week, the last trading day of the week, and then it's a weekend, right?
01:00:37.000and we get one pump and and in the last hours of the last day of the week so that we pump the stock market up and we close it off we say oh look we ended the week with a rebound the end of the week with you know 10% rebound now don't get me wrong i mean i'm sure a lot of these measures are probably reassuring investors and you can't you know fake that but you do have to wonder is there this sort of cynical calculation in the white house that they said well if we put these big private sector ceos
01:01:07.000In front of the cameras for a news conference.
01:01:09.000We announce all these private public partnerships and we do it at this time and we chose the time to help the stock market.
01:01:17.000Then the stock market will go up and then the story for the weekend will be stocks are back up, stocks are back up, everything's okay.
01:02:21.000And you happen to do things in a way that is restoring confidence.
01:02:24.000You know, I guess that's not a bad thing.
01:02:26.000I guess that's probably a good thing, right?
01:02:27.000But I do look at that as, and I have to credit Sean with coming up with that, and I think Medicare talked about that a little bit, that maybe that was, there was more than meets the eye to that little charade.
01:02:40.000That maybe there was some intentionality to doing it, when they did it, with whom they did it, and so on.
01:02:47.000But, you know, is that a bad thing that the stocks rebounded and people say, okay, maybe it's not so bad?
01:02:52.000It would be bad insofar as it gave them a false sense of security, but if it doesn't do that, then, well, you know, I think it is good to keep confidence high and convince people that this is not the end of the world, right?
01:03:04.000Because, you know, panic for health reasons and financial reasons
01:03:10.000We're probably just exacerbate the situation that's not to say that people should not legitimately be prepared or be worried but it is to say that excessive panic excessive worry can exacerbate an already bad situation so just one thought about that but we're gonna move on and take a look at our super chats and we'll see what you guys are saying about all this our last show of the week here we'll take a look we've got boopers who says is this what an alien invasion would feel like
01:03:43.000I think it would probably be drastically different Wagee rage says fuck boomers man almost got fired cuz me and my boss were arguing I Ironically said no one died from herpes.
01:03:56.000So don't worry about herpes imagine being old, bro.
01:04:33.000I'm thinking like man you just don't get it dummy you've done you've been on this planet for 60 years you don't get it so yeah I hear you just don't argue with your boss not hard pancake says I don't like
01:05:11.000Wish it was under better circumstances, right?
01:05:13.000I'm sure that'd be very concerning to be having a child at a time like this with, uh,
01:05:19.000You know, if you're in a hospital, that's like the last place I'd want to be, and health care resources being burdened, so... Hey, hope everything goes well, but congratulations!
01:06:11.000He's under a lot of stress and people have to realize he's a human being and I think he's remarkably competent so time will tell and we'll see but yeah he deserves our prayers we as a country are hurting and we have to pray for our leaders and we have to pray for our country that's you know it's it's so funny you know a lot of people are like
01:06:33.000Christian, but when it comes to things like this they forget that it's part of the plan It's not to say that you shouldn't take precautions, right?
01:06:40.000I'm sure God would tell you wash your hands, right?
01:06:42.000But it is to say that we have to pray and we have to We have to be invested in that part of it for our for our country and pray for our leaders and pray for the health of the country because Ultimately, it's not it's not really in our hands.
01:06:57.000I mean we can do our part it's not to say that we have no part to play but
01:07:02.000There is a part for somebody else to play in the grand scheme of things as well.
01:08:14.000Yeah, maybe you stock up for two weeks, but how much is two weeks of toilet paper?
01:08:19.000You buy one pack and it's like eight rolls, right?
01:08:23.000I guess it depends on the pack, but you know, you can buy a lot at once, so I don't... I've been to like three different stores in the past two days.
01:08:29.000I've been to Walmart, I've been to Walgreens, Mariano's, and I've been going just to see what's up.
01:08:34.000I'm going there as somebody that's an observer of these things, and I've been picking up a few things, a little bit of extra food, a little bit of water, things that make sense, right?
01:08:43.000Water and food, naturally, and hand sanitizer, disinfectant, things like that.
01:08:49.000But I always, out of curiosity, check out the toilet paper scene in every store I go to.
01:09:06.000I guess there was this rumor that the masks are made from the same material as toilet paper and then there'd be a shortage, but I don't think that's true.
01:09:14.000And so I think people are just seeing that other people are buying toilet paper, right?
01:09:19.000And so they think that they have to buy it.
01:09:22.000I think it's literally just a completely irrational thing that people imagined, and I don't know where that rumor started, but now everyone's just like, that's what you have to buy.
01:10:02.000Now hold this flashlight under your chin.
01:10:04.000Yeah, exactly and hold this red flashlight under your chin and Yeah, and wear this hood Yeah, wear this and if you can hold up a Roman salute and you know a Nazi flag Yeah, that would be great.
01:10:18.000We just need it for a different angle, right?
01:10:20.000That's We were talking about how these producers
01:11:09.000When you think about death, you think about that's the most important thing.
01:11:12.000That's, if I can impress nothing else to you through this show, it is to really think long and hard about the temporal nature of our temporal existence.
01:11:23.000And that, you know, sounds redundant, but it's true.
01:11:26.000That our time here is really transient.
01:11:29.000And so if you're thinking purely in terms of what is here, kind of missing the point.
01:12:31.000And, you know, even if you're not Christian, what I want to impress upon people is orienting your mentality.
01:12:37.000Raising your vision your consciousness towards you know, you know a little bit of a bigger perspective But so it's always good to hear when people say they're converting they become Christian because I think that solves all our problems Honestly, you become Christian that solves like nine out of ten of our problems.
01:12:54.000So Let's see Cade says not old enough for a job.
01:13:46.000Honestly, I just got done telling you how lies are the worst thing ever, and I'm not telling you to lie, but I am telling you that, you know, generally we have lost the concept of like subtlety and
01:14:00.000Communicating things without being explicit.
01:14:05.000Because I found in my relationships and with people I know, it's almost like the less you know, the better, right?
01:14:12.000It's almost like the less you know about people, sometimes, the better.
01:14:16.000And it's not to say that you shouldn't develop intimate or close relationships, but, you know, I'm kind of like a... Autistically curious person.
01:14:26.000I wanted if I'm interested in something I want to know everything about it and it goes with people if I like somebody I want to know all about him and you know I could tell you from experience and sometimes I get to know a person and I'm like ooh wish I didn't know that like oh wish I didn't uncover that rock sometimes it's better to just sometimes it's better to just have a very casual relationship
01:14:51.000And you know you have varying levels of relationships with people and some people you have a deep relationship and you know then it's warranted to be more honest with each other and so on but you know what I mean to say is for example and when people say what's up how's your day going you never tell when somebody says how's it going you never say terrible
01:15:14.000You just say it's going well, it's going fine.
01:15:17.000That is the kind of mentality that I want to put out there into the ether.
01:15:22.000Because I find increasingly that everybody's making their problems my problems.
01:15:26.000I talk to people and it's like all of a sudden I've got this mental burden of thinking about, oh, this person's got this going on and this person's got that going on and, you know, look, I try to be a giver, I try to be benevolent, but I got a lot of my own problems.
01:15:39.000And now it's like I gotta be thinking about this guy and that guy and this one's...
01:16:36.000I have the weight of the world that feels on my shoulders sometimes with all the
01:16:41.000Activities and projects I'm up to and then the thought of every person I'm in contact with has got their own like thing and every time I talk to them, I have to like emotionally engage with their thing.
01:16:52.000I don't have enough emotions for that.
01:16:54.000I barely have enough emotions for my own life.
01:16:57.000And then, you know, I got to share them with everybody else.
01:18:50.000like sprint you remember in Star Wars 1 when Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are on the trade Federation ship and the destroyer droids are deployed and they're like we got to get out of here and they just zoom out of the frame that was awesome the force jump Obi-Wan jumps on to he's on that he's in that palace in Naboo and he jumps onto that thing dueling Darth Maul that's pretty good
01:19:20.000Yeah, so those are probably my favorites.
01:19:22.000The jumping, the sprinting, the forced choke, Keno, of course.
01:23:36.000Now, on the reverse, to me, and I don't know, maybe some people are not gonna understand this, but I frankly, I don't see the appeal.
01:23:46.000Well, I understand the appeal, but it doesn't seem very appealing to me.
01:23:52.000And in any case, there are restrictions with Catholic sexual morality.
01:23:58.000It is allowed under certain circumstances.
01:24:01.000I'm trying not to get too scatological here, trying not to get too graphic, but under certain circumstances, it's not expressly prohibited, but just certain
01:24:43.000I think largely that is the result of casual sex.
01:24:47.000I mean, it's a lot easier to do that with some whore, you know?
01:24:50.000It's a lot easier to do that with some hooker who you're never gonna see again than it would be maybe with your wife or something, so... That's the way I think about it, but I... This is not a sex show!
01:27:07.000It's not something I'm even an expert in.
01:27:10.000There have been really long and lengthy and detailed books written about this stuff, which I have not read, but it sticks with me because it is so
01:27:38.000As far as ectomorphs go, Jaden, Steve, Franson, I would consider, well he's borderline, no he's pretty mesomorphic, he's pretty robust, so he's a little bit more mesomorphic, he's somewhere in the middle I guess, but he's a taller guy.
01:27:51.000So I would say predominantly it'd be Jaden.
01:27:54.000Jaden is sort of the quintessential, the classic ectomorph, but in spite of that he's got a very
01:28:58.000My grandmother always used to tell me when I was a kid, she used to tell me, if you can count your friends on more than one hand, you should count again.
01:29:06.000Which is kind of like an intense thing to say to a young person, to a child.
01:29:11.000She used to tell me this when I was in like grade school.
01:29:13.000If you can count your friends on more than one hand, you better count again.
01:29:17.000It's actually really good advice, but in other words, you can't trust that many people.
01:29:22.000Not many people are your real friends.
01:29:24.000And I feel like the same goes for people that are not simps.
01:29:27.000If you could count the amount of people you know that are not simps on more than one hand, you should count again.
01:29:33.000Because I can tell you that a lot of people that surround me, and a lot of people I know, and a lot of people I see online who are the first ones out there to say, no e-girls, and patrolling thoughts, and all this, and...
01:31:20.000And we were in Model UN together and we were some of the best kids on the team and he was bright and, you know, funny guy, good guy.
01:31:28.000And we became fast friends and we hung out all the time.
01:31:31.000We were at each other's houses and really had a close and fruitful friendship.
01:31:37.000And then what happened is, sophomore year at the Turnaround Dance, he got asked to go to the dance by this girl who I never cared for, who I never liked.
01:31:47.000I never even thought she was that pretty.
01:32:09.000If you got a little bit extra, but I really kind of prefer, well, and I don't want to get too much into that, but she was, you know, she had, like, one feature going for her and I'm not, you know, anyway.
01:32:21.000so so this girl so this girl asked him to the turnaround dance and from then on he was smitten he was smitten and all of a sudden and we had a little friend group but we were probably the best friends in there well maybe i don't know if that was true that's how i felt but um
01:32:39.000Yeah, suddenly he didn't want to hang out with us.
01:33:17.000Anyway, but that's just like a stupid thing that would, you know, dumb detail.
01:33:24.000But, and she never liked me, and she didn't like me because I was conservative, and she was always undermining me, and, you know, this is somebody who now won't even talk to me.
01:33:34.000Blocked me on everything because liberal girlfriend doesn't like me.
01:34:03.000And a lot of cases like that, and a lot of cases where it's the same thing.
01:34:09.000So and you know I had a lot of friends in high school so you know it wasn't really like that didn't like you know hurt my feelings or like ruin my life or anything but it was just something that I observed and I said wow I was like wow it really it really does be like that doesn't it we're friends now you're you know whipped now you're you know what whipped and now we're not friends anymore it's very interesting how that works you know and that that was like hmm
01:35:35.000You know, men, and then I just realized that in high school, there are some people out there, simps, a woman enters their life and then their life is cancelled.
01:35:45.000Their friends, their principals, their ambitions, their drive, all of it, it all subsides.
01:35:52.000And even with that friend, the first friend I was talking about,
01:35:55.000In, like, this is gonna sound so cringe, but we were, like, competing to be the best, like, Model UN person.
01:36:03.000And, like, don't look at the example too much for the example in itself, but we were, like, neck and neck competing, and we really were competing, and it drove us to be better at what we were doing, and we were passionate about it, and then when he got a girlfriend, he didn't care about Model UN anymore.
01:36:23.000Yeah, I'm the nerd that cared more about Model UN than getting a girlfriend, but the point is the same.
01:36:28.000The point is that once that happened, all that drive, the other interests which, you know, might have bore fruit or, you know, might have been more fruitful in a deeper sense, that's all gone.
01:36:52.000I mean, a lot of, like, cringe Gen X people would say, oh, Chad!
01:36:56.000But somebody like me, I'd say, well, that's not really a very rich experience or, you know, actually moral.
01:37:02.000But anyway, those are my feelings on that.
01:37:06.000So, a lot of people might think that's super cringe because they're in a simp Coomer mentality and they think that the most important thing in the world is sex and women and casual sex and all that but I obviously come from a different world.
01:37:20.000I come from a little bit of a different paradigm here so...
01:37:24.000Anyway, so that's my long way around to welcoming... The super chat was, new Groiber and recovering simp here, and I think I just spent like 20 minutes talking about all this.
01:37:37.000But it needed to be said, but it needs to be said.
01:43:02.000Yeah, some retard boomer during the news conference raised his hand and he's like, has there been any research done into why older people are dying from this virus at a higher rate?
01:43:29.000I mean, I don't cry, but it is definitely like really messes with your head when you realize what average intelligence looks like and you realize that like 80% of the population is hovering around there.
01:43:43.000You know, if median is 100, then half is lower and a good percentage is there or a little bit higher.
01:43:50.000And it's like, wow, wow, we are alone.
01:46:00.000Minnesota Groyper says Republicans could learn from past mass... from post-mass shooting rhetoric that's used by Democrats to attain power.
01:47:10.000People like this that post about the Bronze Age and they need somebody like me to tell them it's the age of men of action to get off their fucking ass and do anything.
01:47:40.000But the point being is these people are tweeting about like, back in the old days, you used to get your head chopped off and we'd fight in battle and we'd have shields and swords and now we're all pussies.
01:47:54.000Well, uh, I can't tweet behind my real name because then I'd lose my job.
01:47:59.000I'd lose my job, and then I would have no money, and then I couldn't buy food at the store, so... I'm gonna have a Cartoon Avi, and if anybody suspects my identity, I'm gonna deactivate my account because I can't lose my job, man!
01:48:17.000You're not gonna do anything, you know?
01:48:20.000And, you know, I don't say that like it's a good thing.
01:48:23.000I just knocked over a bunch of stuff on the floor here.
01:48:27.000But but it's true, but it's so true all these people out there that are like, you know, they're all out there posting like How make feel me me strong me a strong gladiator back back in old day they used to use sword and You know, they're doing these posts about and all they're doing is like running around naked in the forest preserve that's all these people ever do and
01:48:53.000Is they will go into the forest preserve, they will drive 10 minutes outside of the city limits, they will go into the woods, and they will take pictures.
01:49:06.000They will, you know, go with their friends and do a photo shoot, you know, in the woods, or on the railroad, you know, on the train tracks.
01:49:58.000I'm gonna go into the woods and, you know, run around without my shoes on and take pictures of it.
01:50:05.000I'm gonna eat a steak and I'm gonna eat it with my hand like a barbarian.
01:50:11.000But I won't post under my real name because then I would lose my job.
01:50:16.000And if I lose my job, I can't buy food at the store anymore.
01:50:19.000So it seems like your little gladiator fantasy is kind of coming to an end there, right?
01:50:24.000These people might as well be building pillow forts.
01:50:26.000They might as well be taking pictures of themselves in pillow forts.
01:50:30.000They might as well get a, you know, a construction hat on and, you know, build the pillow fort on the couch and say, haha, you guys can't enter my kingdom.
01:50:50.000these things these things that I see online I just no just stop just just stop just bro just stop you know all these people out there and I've made my point but it just kills me to see that all these and Bronze Age perverts not even a good account anyway but then these imitators are half as good as him and he's not even good and it's all this you know
01:51:19.000It's like what I said about the strongest slave on the plantation, you know?
01:52:51.000Anyway, just don't just don't want to just don't you know look you can you can post about history and you can post about the old times and all that but it's just like you're acting you're you're playing you're you're you're you're this is make-believe this is make-believe you're hardly any better than like people that read marvel comics i mean yeah it's better to be in physical shape and all that but i think that's i'm batman i'm gonna dress up like batman i've got an authentic batman costume how is it any different
01:54:38.000fearless leader says he sold link pump it link is up right now is it all right link back up to 241 it was up at 260 or 289 this morning nice yeah getting bogged yeah good thing I didn't sell I'm not gonna sell you think I'm gonna sell because the price dropped
01:55:51.000I really, that is one of the things that's been deeply satisfying since AFFPAC.
01:55:56.000When everybody was together at AFFPAC and everybody was at Harry's or at the conference or at the Airbnb, it's like the sense of love.
01:56:07.000And I know that sounds corny, but it's true.
01:56:10.000This idea of like brotherhood, or I guess with Malkin, sisterhood, the idea that we were all in it together and we all deeply cared about each other on a personal level and ostensibly for our political goals, it was very inspiring.
01:56:25.000And it sounds a little corny, but it's very true.
01:56:27.000You know, all these people that I'm with, it's been, you know, the most fulfilling thing probably of my life to have met these people.
01:56:36.000You know, I was, one of the most difficult things getting involved in politics was, you know, frankly losing a lot of my friends that I knew in high school.
01:56:46.000And, you know, it was a difficult thing, it was lonely for a time, but I have to tell you that, and it's not just to cope, it's just true, that after jettisoning all my old friends from high school, which I knew because, you know, we just happened to go to the same school,
01:57:02.000The people I've met in the movement are just like remarkable people you know head and shoulders more impressive and and just just better friends overall so and that's not to say like oh it's no my new friends are cool and you guys suck but it but it is true that the people I've met are just really exceptional people and just great people and great friends and um you know that's uh that's that's one of the things about the movement which is inspires me and keeps me going it's it's a good thing.
01:57:32.000They're all part of that race to the bottom says paradigm shift on the horizon major white pill well potential paradigm shift Lifted truck says fish fry today.
01:57:49.000I had a turkey sub I forgot I wasn't thinking about it
01:57:54.000But once I realized that I changed my dinner plans my dinner plans was a nice Italian sausage on a roll with potatoes and peppers and I told my mother I said no no I can't have that it's Friday so she made some raviolis instead so so yeah yeah I know I know I wasn't thinking I've all this stuff with the coronavirus I wasn't even thinking right
01:58:19.000I was so distracted I was up and running errands all day and doing so much and you know you just kind of lose track so but I've been generally pretty good I don't think I even I ate meat the last couple Fridays so I think that's the first time I messed up so under the circumstances you know global pandemic coming down and all this I know I know but it's
01:59:10.000and I did hate it and frankly full disclosure I did hate it I went to this restaurant it was like this yuppie restaurant this was years ago I went on vacation LA with my family maybe when I was in middle school and
01:59:27.000We went to this restaurant and the way it worked is they the whole table was covered in like sheet and you were given this big bib and They just put a big pile of crawfish and like other seafood and you basically just rip it apart And it's just this big disgusting mess And I forget everything about it because this must have been like this must have been like 10 years ago But
01:59:58.000Yeah, it was so messy and, you know, shells everywhere and I forget whatever it was.
02:00:46.000It stresses me out we go and get wings and I'm like I'm not I'll get the boneless wings and I'll even like their chicken tenders but I'm not you know these wings are like they're just covered they're soaking wet and in order to get the meat out you have to like get your face in it this is this this is horrible this is so unpleasant you're in there
02:01:06.000And, you know, then you feel like an idiot.
02:01:09.000You finish your wings and this is what you look like.
02:04:16.000So, it's actually very fortunate that my father, I think it was the Irish and the Mexican, I think both were tall on that side, because otherwise I would have been like a serious manlet.
02:04:25.000So, thank God I had some of those genes to counteract a little bit, because there was some serious manlet mode on my mom's side.
02:04:34.000So, there's definitely a lot of truth to that.
02:04:36.000There's definitely... I don't know if every Italian is short.
02:04:39.000I mean, my great-uncle is pretty tall, but... Well, I mean, he was above average, but...
02:04:44.000They were a lot of short people there.
02:06:25.000so and uh and then the the simp guy the model un guy uh yeah his girlfriend she wasn't as husky but she was definitely had a build she was definitely like muscular in like a gross kind of a way and um she was like solid there was no she did not have like a feminine figure at all because you could have a little extra but have a feminine figure generally it's not muscle when we talk about a little bit extra curvy it's generally not like muscle
02:06:55.000Right, this is not a muscular woman, but she was muscular.
02:07:00.000She had like a solid... I think she was stronger than he was.
02:07:03.000He was like a little guy, and she was like... I think she could beat the shit out of him probably, and that is just... Anyway, so yeah, solid build check, pass.
02:07:15.000Polish American says, big boobs, ugly face, or pretty face, small boobs?
02:08:22.000Because you know you yeah, I don't I don't want to get into sort of the you know the fry I could explain it in a more vulgar and graphic way, but That that is the that has been my school of thought on this for a long time.
02:08:35.000You know you would discuss these things you know this is what the boys would discuss back in high school and you're playing cards or gaming or whatever and
02:08:44.000And you discussed the ranking system, the 1 through 10 system, and what is your ranking system?
02:08:50.000And to me, it was always the face was a big component in it.
02:08:53.000I almost can't really enjoy, from an aesthetic point of view, the body without the face.
02:08:58.000I mean, certainly you can observe and, you know, you can enjoy in some sense the body, but do you really get the full effect without the face?
02:09:21.000If you don't have a good face, you can never be a 10.
02:09:23.000If you don't have a good face, you can't be a 10.
02:09:25.000Now then again, if you don't have a good body, you can't be a 10 either, but if you don't have a good face, I don't think you could even be more than like a 6.
02:09:31.000If you're a butterface, the upper limit of a butterface is 6, right?
02:09:36.000And I would say that the upper limit of a pretty girl but without a great body would probably be like a 7 or an 8, probably.
02:09:43.000I guess it would depend, but that's what I'm thinking.
02:10:05.000Big butter says the first simp the first the original simp original simper Right, we are all born with original simp Well, but it's true Adam.
02:11:29.000Well, and that says a lot about the dynamic between a man and his woman if that's... It says a lot about a man's dynamic with his woman if that's his dynamic with his friends, is what I'll say.
02:11:41.000Because if you cede that kind of ground to your woman, like, it's over, you know?
02:11:47.000If you allow your woman to control your life, and she's got the pants, it's like Doom from the start.
02:11:54.000A man has to lead the relationship, and if a man
02:18:20.000I appreciate, you know, as much as people can give with the lemons, and if you can't give anything, that's fine, but you're in here asking for more streams.
02:18:27.000The way to grease, the way to grease the content engine is with a little bit of lemon juice.
02:21:54.000Like, we'll have to fundraise eventually and it might be good if we put up and say, well, here's a project and if you put money in it'll go towards this
02:22:02.000Maybe I'll do that eventually, but I don't really need to, you know?
02:22:04.000And I feel bad asking for money if people are giving money for the show, you know what I mean?
02:22:10.000I feel like it's almost the purpose of a lot of these tips to fund the operation in general, and that's what it does, so... And that's the beauty of America First.
02:22:18.000That's what I love about doing this show.
02:22:24.000Is any other movement able to make these big investments and do these big things without asking?
02:22:30.000Every movement that you see, no matter how well-funded, they're sticking their hands out and they're saying, we're sending you an email, just give us five more dollars, just give five dollars to my PayPal, just give me this and that.
02:22:42.000What's great about this is the content is so good that the content drives the movement.
02:22:50.000I create, you know, world-class content.
02:22:52.000People pay me for it because they like it.
02:22:55.000And as such, we've got the funds, we've got the resources to keep the thing going.
02:22:59.000And because, well, I think it's the nature of the movement that we don't have a ton of people and resources, not to the extent that Con Ink does, right?
02:23:08.000And we're able to make do with a lot less because we are, you know, we're good at what we do.
02:23:32.000I told you it's not all of them, but ectomorphs are, you know, just read a little bit into the constitutional psychology about the ectomorphic, you know, character traits.
02:23:43.000Joe Blow says, Nick, please don't forget to take your goop.
02:26:20.000A lot of them are pretty husky, though.
02:26:21.000Some of these, you see like these Olympic volleyball girls and they're like, you know, monsters or giants.
02:26:27.000Then again, you know, some of them are specimens in a different way, but...
02:26:31.000It's, uh, yeah, yeah, the volleyball's okay.
02:26:33.000I just prefer women that aren't athletes, you know?
02:26:35.000Why do we have to have women, you know, that are athletes?
02:26:38.000I don't really see a woman playing, like, you know, getting, you know, getting in a ready position and spiking a volleyball, you know, jumping up and slamming a volleyball down.
02:26:49.000That doesn't really, you know, that doesn't really do it for me.
02:26:53.000Seeing a girl smash a softball and then, you know, sprint across first base.
02:27:02.000I don't know what you're into, but that's not really... Watching them dribble the ball up and down the court and, you know, push each other around.
02:28:04.000Yeah, this Jaden real real diamond in the rough when it comes to turning point I don't mean to look I don't mean to go on and on about people, but You know the more that I watch his streams.
02:28:14.000I'm like this guy's just like a total schmoodster You know we're hanging out, and he's like yeah, I played video games all throughout high school cuz you know You know the guy's like a gamer the guy's a Christian.
02:29:42.000I've never, you know, tried to pretend to be this mega Italian person, but I did grow up in an American ethnic household and it is slightly different, but...
02:29:51.000Let's see my my mother doesn't speak Italian.
02:29:53.000I think my grandmother speaks Italian my mom understands it She used to speak a little when she was younger, but I mean I wasn't brought up speaking any other language other than English my mom would swear in Italian that's how I know the swear words because you know whatever she my mom swears a lot Italians swear a lot and I
02:30:14.000In order to, uh, not swear in front of me and my sister, she would swear in Italian.
02:30:18.000And then we just started saying, you know, those words, so.
