In this episode of America First, host Nicholas J. Fuentes talks about the coronavirus outbreak in the United States, and why we should prioritize the needs of people south of our border, or on other continents, as a test of whether or not we are finally going to put our country first. He also talks about Medicare for all, the latest on the latest developments in the fight against the virus, and what it means for the future of universal health care and universal education. America First is a show about the intersection of politics, economics, and culture that focuses on the intersection between the past, present, and future of our country and the importance of our ability to address the problems we face as a nation and as a society. America First was created by and for the people of New York City and covers the issues that affect the people who live here, and the people around the world who need our help to live here. It's a place of hope and hope, a place where we can all come together to create a better future for ourselves and a better world.

00:00:44.000And that means that it's going to be a relaxed show.
00:00:46.000That means that as opposed to the highly intense, extremely serious nature of the show, typically now it's going to be a little bit more, a little bit more light-hearted.
00:00:57.000So of course we are talking about the coronavirus.
00:01:49.000Something which many people anticipate could actually undercut Joe Biden on the issue of health care, and we'll talk about that.
00:01:56.000It's kind of a big subject, kind of a lot to unpack there.
00:01:59.000It's something that I've been an advocate of for a long time if you've been watching this show.
00:02:04.000It's something that in principle I'm a big believer in, which is giving money away, giving money away, doing whatever is necessary basically to buy votes.
00:02:15.000The Democrats play this way, we should play this way too.
00:02:49.000I talked about how this coronavirus is really a trial run for what the rest of this century will look like, really the rest of our lives, the lifetime of this nation, which is to say that this is a test of whether or not we are finally going to put our country first.
00:03:05.000I think this is a great example, and I said this yesterday, this crisis is a great example of the kinds of problems that we're going to face or have been facing with globalization and globalism for the past 30 years and indefinitely into the future.
00:03:22.000Which is to say that during this crisis, maybe more than any other, we are acutely aware of
00:03:28.000The finite and scarce nature of our resources.
00:03:32.000In other words, there's not enough for everybody.
00:03:35.000There's not enough stuff to go around for everybody to get everything they need, even if it's dire in some cases.
00:03:49.000And the question at this point becomes, will we prioritize the needs of our people, or the needs of people south of our border, or north of our border, or on other continents?
00:03:59.000And this obviously applies to everything else too, contrary to what
00:04:04.000Some of these prosperity gospel types would tell you, contrary to what progressives, and by progressive I even mean a lot of so-called conservatives, not just progressive left or progressive liberals, but people that believe that capitalism will create enough for everybody and solve everybody's problems and we won't have to prioritize and what's good for the world is good for us.
00:04:27.000Contrary to what all those people are saying, all resources work this way.
00:04:32.000All kinds of resources, not even just healthcare resources.
00:04:36.000And by the way, not even just economic or material resources either, but institutional things, a wide variety of things that we take for granted are finite in nature, they're limited, they're tough to come by, we take them for granted, and there's maybe only enough to go around for our own people, and we should be our own advocates.
00:04:55.000I said a lot of that yesterday but we're going to apply it today talking about a few different stories regarding the masks and this was great to see and this is exactly what I was talking about.
00:05:05.000Today there were reports from France and Germany that the United States was essentially halting shipments of respirators N95
00:05:17.000And other masks, other respirators that are required and may be required for the general population, we stop the import of those masks to France and Germany and we're bringing them back to the United States.
00:05:29.000And the president also ordered one of the bigger mask manufacturers, M3, to stop sending masks to Canada and Mexico.
00:05:38.000And the leaders at M3 said, this is going to have terrible humanitarian consequences.
00:06:18.000You know a lot of you guys live in like the south where it's already warming up or California where it never needs to warm up but it's just been you know the coronavirus and then the normal midwest winter that lasts what like 10 months or nine months something crazy like that I'm ready for it to be over and if you watch this show you know that like in October and November and December
00:07:04.000So I'm trying to, so I'm sort of manifesting a summer mindset here with my Hawaiian shirt.
00:07:09.000You also may have noticed, and before we dive into all of our news, you also may have noticed the visual quality of the show should be a lot
00:07:52.000And the reason I have not upgraded the camera for so long is because I'm like a technological dummy.
00:07:59.000And the thing is about cameras is, a webcam, you plug into your computer with the USB you plug it in, and that's it.
00:08:06.000You don't need software, you don't need hardware, you get the webcam, it's USB, you plug it in, and that's what I thought.
00:08:12.000I thought that's like the best you can do without like a professional setup.
00:08:16.000But a fan, a friend of the show, I should say a friend of the show, sent me an email and said, hey, you know, I'm a photographer, I've got an extra camera,
00:08:56.000I hope it looks a little bit more crisp and clear.
00:08:58.000You know, the other thing about the video quality is there's sort of like a trade-off in the sense that now if I look like shit, you can all tell.
00:09:06.000I don't know if you could tell before, but I mean, you're looking at me right now, you could probably tell that I woke up an hour ago.
00:09:13.000You could probably tell that I just woke up like 60 or 70 minutes ago, you know.
00:09:20.000And if I have any blemishes, you could probably see.
00:09:23.000So now I'll have to start taking better care of myself.
00:10:17.000You know, I was resisting the upgrade for a long time.
00:10:20.000I was like, I don't want... I want to, you know, be able to camouflage if I look rough, or I don't want to set up another camera, but I'm glad I did it.
00:10:30.000I'm glad I took the 10 minutes to look into it, right?
00:10:33.000Half hour, whatever it was to set it up.
00:11:18.000pain in the ass man so many different projects it's like oh like this is just closed for a month so you can't you know this this play I can't say what but all this place is like closed for a month at all like this is closed and everything's closed and domestic travels restricted obviously and I mean not officially but nobody wants to get on a plane
00:11:40.000So things like the college tour obviously had to go and I was planning a trip abroad and then had to go a couple of trips actually potentially and so some things have had to get reworked and moved around but I can tell you that by the end of the year if all of this
00:11:56.000Resolves a little bit if there's some return to normalcy a little bit We're gonna see some pretty big and exciting stuff So the camera the new camera is only the beginning but thanks to the guy that sent it It's a very it's a very it's very different.
00:12:09.000It's so weird to look at the same webcam every Every day and then now all of a sudden I look at this.
00:12:15.000I still have the webcam on actually I just clipped it on my on my monitor.
00:12:20.000Maybe I could get a little dual Dual camera action.
00:12:24.000Let me see if I could bring it up here
00:13:30.000So maybe we have a little dual camera.
00:13:33.000If I need extra effect, if I need to put double reinforcement on something, double emphasis, maybe I'll just transition to a different camera angle, right?
00:13:45.000And I'll say, you know, okay, now to camera B.
00:13:51.000Or I could just switch over to camera B and it's just like another shot, like I'm just talking and it's like, that's just another angle.
00:13:57.000I gotta get a stream deck so I could do that a little bit more seamlessly here.
00:14:01.000Alright, but enough monkeying around, alright?
00:15:52.000When they've been saying flatten the curve for all this time, the curve
00:15:56.000is when you graph all the daily new coronavirus cases.
00:16:01.000And so flattening the curves means that if you don't do social distancing, you're gonna get a lot of cases right out of the gate.
00:16:09.000You're gonna have a very tall curve, right?
00:16:13.000A tall and narrow curve where everybody who gets it is going to get it in a short amount of time.
00:16:18.000So, you know, if you think about the y-axis is the number of cases and the x-axis is the number of days, if it spreads very quickly, if the rate at which it's spreading is very quickly, you're going to have a very narrow x-axis and a very tall y-axis.
00:16:34.000You're going to have this very big narrow and tall hump there.
00:16:37.000Which represents an exponential amount of new cases, and basically everybody that's going to get coronavirus, or most of the people that are going to get it, are going to get it in the short amount of time.
00:16:49.000And flattening the curve means that you slow the rate at which people are getting it.
00:16:53.000So then maybe over time, the same amount of people get the virus, you know, if you take the, uh, what is it from calculus?
00:17:02.000My math people know what I'm talking about.
00:17:03.000If you take, what is it, the derivative or the integral?
00:17:07.000If you take the integral of both graphs, in other words, the area of both graphs, you multiply the days by the cases, you're gonna get the same, whoops, you're gonna get the same amount of cases, but the difference is that if you flatten the curve, you're getting the same amount, but less per day and over more days.
00:17:25.000And that means that a hospital can treat, you know, let's say for the sake of example, 500 people per day, but not 1,000 people per day, right?
00:17:35.000So, but the rate is increasing rapidly.
00:17:38.000The rate of new cases is increasing rapidly.
00:17:41.000We went from 20,000 new cases last week in a given day, 19,000 actually, was the highest single day increase for any country last week.
00:17:52.000That was literally, I think, last Thursday or Friday.
00:17:55.000And today, Friday, exactly a week later, it's 30,000 new cases.
00:18:00.000So, next week the question is, will it be 40,000 new cases a day?
00:21:20.000This is the main thing we're going to talk about tonight, which is this announcement from Trump that we're going to start to use funds allocated in the stimulus bill for hospitals to go towards health care for uninsured
00:21:37.000There's this big There was a lot of money that was given out in the fiscal stimulus last week Which we talked about phase three of the stimulus was the two trillion dollar bill the four trillion dollar monetary stimulus and in the two trillion dollar bill from Congress was a pretty decent allocation for hospitals and the hospital fund is
00:22:00.000It wasn't very specific what we could spend the money on and Trump says that the way we should spend it is on uninsured people.
00:22:06.000And they're saying that in effect what we're doing is expanding Medicare to about 20 to 30 million people that are uninsured.
00:22:12.000So I'll read, this is from the New York Times, it's a little bit more descriptive about what's happening.
00:22:20.000The Trump administration plans to use money from the recent stimulus bill to pay hospitals for the treatment of uninsured coronavirus patients, arguing that it is more efficient than reopening enrollment in the Obamacare markets to help people without coverage get care.
00:22:36.000The money would come from a $100 billion fund to help hospitals respond to the crisis that hospital groups expected would be spent on their more immediate financial needs, like urgently needed medical supplies.
00:22:48.000President Trump announced the policy on Friday at his daily briefing.
00:22:52.000Using the hospital funds to pay for uninsured coronavirus patients could be a targeted way to pay for coronavirus care for the growing number of Americans who lack health insurance.
00:23:05.000Nationwide, millions of Americans have lost their job-based coverage as the virus has caused a sudden downturn in the economy.
00:23:13.000However, critics say it may not go to hospitals in the states hit the hardest and does little to address concerns over the millions of people now without coverage for medical care unrelated to the virus.
00:23:25.000And you know, these people are awful, honestly, at the New York Times and everywhere else.
00:23:30.000The New York Times, I don't know if you remember this, but the New York Times endorsed Elizabeth Warren in the Democratic primary in large measure because Elizabeth Warren supported Medicare for All.
00:23:44.000And all these liberals and all these leftoids support Medicare for All and universal health care.
00:23:51.000They want people to get free health care from the government.
00:23:54.000Here's Trump saying, OK, we're in a time of crisis.
00:23:58.000We're going to use these funds given to us by Congress to take care of people, to pay for their medical care.
00:24:04.000Because obviously, even people that had health care, that had private insurance, are no longer insured.
00:24:10.000Because most people get, obviously, they get their health care through their employer.
00:24:14.000They have an employer-based health care plan.
00:24:17.000And when you have 10 million jobless claims in two weeks, and you have people getting laid off,
00:24:44.000And so Trump says, well, we're going to take care of these people that are uninsured.
00:24:48.000And the New York Times, who endorses a Medicare for All candidate, and who is, you know, progressive and far left on health care and who normally supports Medicare for All, of course, they're going to come out and say, um, not good enough, not good enough, because, um, well, you know, critics are saying that it's not going to go to the hospitals that are most in need.
00:25:06.000And, well, actually, what about after the virus?
00:26:02.000They're wrapped together on the testing.
00:26:04.000As of Monday, we had tested more than a million people.
00:26:07.000Suddenly, nobody wants to talk about the testing.
00:26:10.000And so, you know, before I even move on, and that's not the main thrust of this subject or this topic, but I do just want to do a little drive-by shot and just say, fuck the media.
00:26:22.000You know, if you needed any reminder here, if you needed me to say it again, fuck the media.
00:26:27.000The New York Times is going to pretend that they... Well, critics are saying that the hospitals most in need are not going to get the Medicare for All and well, actually, what about afterwards?
00:26:37.000Is this going to change anything afterwards?
00:26:50.000It's probably a basic talking point to say the media doesn't treat Trump fairly but it's just so obnoxious.
00:26:57.000Even in a time of crisis like this they're gonna, well you know critics are saying.
00:27:03.000Anyway, so that's what the critics are saying.
00:27:06.000It says Congress left the legislation establishing the hospital fund deliberately vague to allow its allocation to shift as the epidemic played out.
00:27:15.000But hospitals have asked for as much money as possible to be paid to them immediately to address pressing concerns like paying their staff, buying equipment, and retrofitting their facilities to accommodate the flood of patients with the coronavirus.
00:27:28.000The administration's plan, by contrast, would pay hospitals after the fact
00:28:01.000Pay for the health care coverage of people that are insured.
00:28:05.000Isn't the money from the insurance supposed to pay for all that?
00:28:08.000It just doesn't make any sense, right?
00:28:10.000Well, you know, in California, in Washington, in New York, well, the people there aren't going to get the money because they're all insured!
00:28:29.000If the people in New York and California, and I don't know how true that is, LA, New York City, we look at the demographics, I can't imagine it's a lot of people that are insured in some areas.
00:28:41.000But nevertheless, if California has way more insured people than Texas, then doesn't that mean that people that go to the hospitals will have insurance?
00:28:50.000And doesn't it mean that if they have insurance, that the insurance companies will pay for their care?
00:28:57.000And if the insurance companies pay for their care, doesn't that mean that the hospitals are compensated for the care that they dispense?
00:29:05.000And therefore, if they need resources, they can buy them because they're getting paid?
00:29:38.000You know, the healthcare industry is kind of complicated because you've got government, you've got private sector, you've got... It's a very complicated system.
00:29:46.000It's not like a lot of other industries, but it just seems to me like a very ridiculous argument that, well, California's not going to get as much money because they have more insured people.
00:29:56.000Doesn't that mean they're getting the money?
00:29:58.000Isn't that why they're not getting the money?
00:30:01.000Because they're already getting it from the insured people?
00:30:04.000And if they're paying for uninsured people, then the uninsured people in California are gonna, you know, they're gonna get their care covered.
00:32:11.000And maybe in a very objective, in a vacuum, all other things not being taken into consideration, probably the right approach would be to take people off the voting rolls if they're in on the take, and probably would be to try to institute fiscal discipline and discipline on the population financially.
00:32:31.000But you don't actually get any brownie points in a democracy.
00:32:35.000It turns out you actually don't get a gold star for being the most prudent, or being the most wise, or being the most fair.
00:32:45.000So Republicans are out there saying, you know, these people shouldn't be voting and this isn't fair and we are the adults in the room and being an adult doesn't win.
00:32:54.000And it's like, yeah, no shit, it doesn't win.
00:33:00.000You don't fix the problem, and you also don't get any political power.
00:33:05.000You don't institute your fiscal discipline, you don't get these policies of take away people's votes, and you also don't get to do anything else you want either.
00:33:14.000And you just keep losing, and the Democrats keep cheating, and they keep paying for more voters, and they're importing more voters, and every year they build up and solidify their permanent advantage demographically with new constituencies.
00:34:35.000And the point is this, even if you're looking at it cynically, and I'll get to the other angle, there's another angle about this, but even if you're looking at it cynically and saying, you know, that it's wrong, it's wrong to do Medicare for All, it's wrong to do cash payments, it's wrong to do unemployment, even if you're looking at it as wrong, or it's bad politics, or it's not sustainable, you're gonna have to look past that.
00:35:28.000And if it takes Medicare for All to win,
00:35:32.000Or if it takes Universal Healthcare in some capacity to win, if it takes UBI cash payments, so be it!
00:35:40.000I'm willing to do whatever it takes to win, because here's the difference.
00:35:43.000And maybe this sounds obvious, but to some people it clearly isn't.
00:35:47.000If you lose, you don't get to change anything.
00:35:50.000And your enemies get to change everything.
00:35:53.000So it's not even that, well, the things that I want to happen don't come to fruition in any sphere, but also the people that hate me and want me dead and want to kill me, they get sway over all the decisions.
00:36:06.000They get control of the IRS that will take away your non-profit status.
00:36:11.000They get control of the EPA and they can do backdoor gun control and they could say, well, maybe I can't ban semi-automatic weapons because Congress is controlled by Republicans or the Supreme Court might overrule it.
00:36:24.000What I can do is pass an environmental regulation which prohibits the production of certain kinds of ammunition, and I'll close one of the last remaining ammunition manufacturing plants in the country, in Missouri, which is what they did.
00:36:39.000And the list goes on and on and on, with Obamacare and with marriage and with abortion, and the list just goes in foreign policy, immigration, everything.
00:36:50.000So, losing, it's not a matter of, well, we'll get them next time, or, well, you win some, you lose some, or something like that.
00:36:57.000If you lose, you don't get to change anything.
00:37:00.000Now, if you win, maybe you have to make some concessions, and you're gonna have to do some things that you're not happy about.
00:37:05.000You know, I don't, I'm not actually super left-wing on the economy.
00:37:20.000I mean, I do believe that it is right-wing to believe in property rights and markets and a lot of these things.
00:37:26.000Now, the government should guide these things and create the right incentives, but there is something that is conservative about sound monetary policy, sound fiscal policy.
00:37:35.000You know, when you think about a traditional conservative society, it's agrarian, it's rural.
00:37:41.000And the reason why it's rural, when you think about Jefferson and the South and agrarianism in America,
00:37:47.000It's because when people work on farms, they build virtue.
00:37:51.000When people have to save their money and there's tight monetary policy and people own the products or the fruits of their labor, when people own their own land and they tend their own land and it's up to them, what this produces is public virtue.
00:38:08.000The ultimate consequence of people working their own land and everything and having their own responsibility
00:38:14.000In a country that's coherent, I should add, and stable and demographically sound, is it cultivates public virtue, which is a very conservative thing.
00:38:22.000That being said, I'm okay with doing universal health care if it means we win elections, because if we do universal health care, we can win elections, and if we win elections, then we can change immigration, and that's what I care about.
00:38:35.000If we do universal health care, we can win elections, and then we can change trade, and I care about trade.
00:38:39.000And then we can change foreign policy, and I care about foreign policy.
00:38:44.000We could change abortion and everything else.
00:38:47.000We could put tax incentives for getting married and having kids.
00:38:51.000And we might take one step back to take five steps forward.
00:38:55.000And ultimately, that's the only way that you win, is by consolidating power in that way, taking those kinds of baby steps, and even the things that you don't want to do, you can even control how they're administered.
00:39:07.000You know, this goes back to the idea of the dichotomy between winning and losing.
00:39:12.000Do you want to lose and have Democrats administer Medicare for All?
00:39:16.000Or do you want to win and have us administer some form of universal health care which is maybe more moderated, and it's not ideal, but it's better than what the Democrats would have offered?
00:39:48.000Is the role of the government to be this umpire that calls balls and strikes and they create the rules and they enforce them?
00:39:55.000Or is the government, does the government actually have a much deeper role?
00:39:59.000Which is that the government is actually a protector.
00:40:02.000It's a protector of the people, in a very broad sense.
00:40:05.000It's a protector of the people now, the people's lives, and their health, and their prosperity, and so on.
00:40:13.000But it's also a protector of a people, in a more abstract sense.
00:40:18.000It's a protector of their culture and their traditions.
00:40:21.000This is what Edmund Burke wrote about in Reflections on the Revolution in France.
00:40:25.000That the government is almost like a contract between the past and the present.
00:40:30.000The government is supposed to be this body.
00:40:33.000You know, and you think about the Latin root of the word state, which is to stay in one place.
00:40:38.000Evola talks about this and I think I talked about this on a gaming stream one time or one of my commentary streams.
00:40:45.000You could trace back the word state all the way back, and where people think the origin of the word comes from, is that when people, human beings, stopped being nomadic, and they stayed in one place, and they put up farms, and it was agriculture, well then they had government.
00:41:01.000And state, the word state came from staying in one place.
00:41:05.000The idea of concreteness, of solidness, stability, these kinds of things.
00:41:10.000And the state is supposed to administer some kind of stability, this contract between the ancestors and posterity.
00:41:20.000And it sort of gets in the middle in the present.
00:41:22.000And it's mediating that relationship between
00:41:24.000The old and the young, people that have died and people that are unborn in this temporal plane, that is the role of the state.
00:41:31.000It's a protector of us in a very straightforward sense that's going to protect us from foreign attacks, it's going to protect us from viruses, it's going to protect our economy and our resources, but it's also going to protect our people.
00:41:55.000So the less cynical way to look at it is that when the government gives people checks, when the government pays for people's health care, it's supposed to say, maybe this is not ideal.
00:42:07.000They were just paying for your health care.
00:42:09.000But it's an acknowledgment that people are getting screwed.
00:42:12.000The middle class has been getting screwed, the working class has been getting screwed, and they never get a break.
00:42:18.000And Republicans like to say, well, the way that we fix this is with systemic reform.
00:42:24.000If we, you know, if families get back together, and if people have this religious awakening on their own, and if the government balances the budget, and if the government cuts all welfare, and if
00:42:37.000If all of this systemic reform that you know is never going to happen happens, well then the middle class will see the advantage.
00:42:46.000We can never just cut them a check because that would be wrong.
00:42:50.000The real solution is a 1,000 year solution that we're never going to see in our lifetimes, right?
00:42:56.000What do they say the solution is for rising wages?
00:42:59.000Well, if we cut taxes, and if we do this, that, and the other, well then the economy will grow, and if the economy grows, then goods will get cheaper, and wages might get higher, and if that happens, then blah blah blah, and it's always like we gotta go through all this, and it's things that are never gonna happen, if we balance the budget.
00:43:20.000Now, notice that never applies to the rich.
00:43:24.000The rich get their benefits straight up.
00:43:25.000You know, in 2008, did Republicans and Democrats go to the banks?
00:43:29.000And did they go to the insurance companies and everybody else?
00:43:32.000And did they say, well here's what we're gonna do...
00:43:35.000We're gonna let you fail, and after you fail and go bankrupt, and you restructure your business, well then you'll have more competitive business, and then your competitive business will make more money in the long term, and this is how, just trust us, this is how the market works, this is creative destruction, you gotta trust the process.
00:44:03.000Of course when it comes to the rich or the poor, they get the bailout.
00:44:06.000When it comes to the rich, they don't get told, well, you know, here's how it's gonna work out for you in a million years, and after we balance the budget, and we all know that's never gonna happen, but after all this capitalistic free market processes happen, you're gonna be better off.
00:44:20.000They bother them with that trickle-down shit?
00:44:45.000Do the Democrats or Republicans ever say to the poor, or God forbid to the elderly, do they ever say to the elderly, we're going to take away your social security?
00:45:41.000And Republicans think that if you're on board with anything but that for only the middle class, oh, you're a socialist.
00:45:48.000Because everybody else gets the expedited, they get the check, we get the bullshit.
00:45:54.000And Republicans are always telling us, well, that's just how it has to go, and we have to maintain the status quo, the middle class... I will kill myself if the middle class gets a check!
00:47:30.000Some of them are low interest, some of them get forgiven.
00:47:33.000One of the programs they have, any kind of business can apply, you put in like no information,
00:47:39.000I'm not going to tell you how I know this, but any kind of business can apply, you know, a sole proprietorship, a general partnership, an LLC, whatever, S-type, every non-profit, any type of business entity can apply for the loan, this one part of the SBA loan, and what they do
00:48:23.000You don't have to pay back the principal or interest.
00:48:26.000And then your application could get denied and you keep the money.
00:48:29.000And a lot of people might say, oh, this is prone to abuse.
00:48:33.000This is just totally... But another way to look at it is,
00:48:37.000Hey, finally, what do you think it's like for all these other people?
00:48:41.000What do you think it's like for the poor, or illegals, or blacks, frankly, or single mothers?
00:48:46.000And what do you think it's like for billionaires and Jews?
00:48:49.000What do you think happens with everybody else?
00:48:51.000You know, when it comes to, like, white people and, broadly speaking, the middle class on a more economic level,
00:48:57.000Well, everybody who's getting aid, they've got to fill out this form, and nobody's getting a nickel more than they need, and, you know, if you make a nickel more than this much, you're not getting jack shit, right?
00:49:09.000So help me God, if one middle class person gets help, who doesn't absolutely need it, then, as far as I'm concerned, nobody's getting a check.
00:49:19.000Does that approach apply to anybody else in the country?
00:49:22.000They get their golden parachutes and they get zero dollars in taxes and they get billions of dollars in subsidies and bailouts and trade benefits and all day long and the same with the poor you know and and believe me and I know the system a little bit intimately not like I've ever been on welfare but I know people that have been in this situation
00:49:42.000Social Security fraud, all this kind of stuff, is the easiest thing in the world.
00:49:46.000Everybody who's been on it, or has known people that's been on it, or they even just pay attention to some of the news reports that come out.
00:49:53.000They know that welfare fraud is the easiest trick in the book.
00:49:56.000It's not rock and science to figure this stuff out.
00:49:59.000And so, a less cynical way to look at it, traditionally people look at it as I mentioned previously.
00:50:56.000They take care of the poor, the minorities, the women, right?
00:51:00.000And Republicans say, we have to take care of the people that don't vote for us every time.
00:51:05.000We have to take care of the Jewish people that don't thank us for what we do for Israel, and they don't thank us for what we do for big business, the banks, or things like that.
00:53:26.000I'm not remembering the word I'm thinking of.
00:53:29.000But, um, so the Republicans, instead of dragging them over to where we are and doing these Blexit conferences and, what do you have to lose?
00:54:11.000I mean, we have to be the people that are giving people what they need on some issues, but on the things that kind of don't matter or matter less, let's just give them what they want.
00:55:36.000German media reported that the masks had been at the airport in Bangkok where they were supposed to have been loaded onto a Germany-bound plane but instead were diverted to a plane bound for the United States.
00:55:49.000Another shipment of protective masks was in China and bound for the Paris region when French officials say it was purchased by unidentified American buyers offering more money.
00:55:59.000A leader in the French government said, quote, we had a shipment bought up by Americans who outbid a shipment we identified.
00:56:06.000Two other French regional leaders have made similar accusations in French media, asserting that American buyers made the transactions on the airport runway.
00:56:17.000One of these people said, quote, it's true.
00:56:19.000On the tarmac, the Americans arrive, show the cash, and pay three or four times more for the orders we made.
00:56:29.000In a statement released Friday, the U.S.
00:56:31.000Embassy in France said that the United States government has not purchased any masks intended for delivery from China to France, adding that reports to the contrary are completely false.
00:56:45.000This is exactly the mentality that we need.
00:56:48.000And it just goes to show, this is going to be the future with water, with natural resources, rare earth minerals, technology, all kinds of things.
00:56:59.000As the population grows in all these places, and even within our own country, it's going to be a story of resource wars.
00:57:07.000Even if there isn't a necessary shortage of resources, there won't be enough.
00:57:11.000In certain cities, public services, things like that, this is a story of the next century, which is to say that there's not going to be enough for everybody.
00:57:20.000And when that happens, people are going to look out for their own people.
00:57:23.000And that's something as simple as even within a city.
00:57:26.000Look at a city like Chicago, for example.
00:57:28.000There's only so much money to go around in Chicago for things like schools, roads, public services,
00:57:36.000and everybody's fighting for them and blacks are fighting for public services for the south side for the black neighborhoods and hispanics are fighting for the resources for hispanic neighborhoods whites are not doing it for whites but this is this is the story of a city like chicago and you know this is analogous to what's happening with the coronavirus these different tribes
00:57:57.000Put together in the same place, fighting over the same resources, a finite number of them, they will descend into tribalism.
00:58:04.000And that will exacerbate tribalism, that will exacerbate tribal tensions, and that will naturally create conflict.
00:58:11.000Because when politics becomes more about fighting for resources than it is about forging a consensus or, you know, finding a solution for everybody, well then people cease to believe in politics.
00:58:25.000If the ballot box is really a question of will I be able to take care of my people or not, well, suddenly this idea of just getting out there and turning out the vote seems like a waste of time.
00:58:37.000Why don't we just start fighting in the streets, right?
00:59:44.000And it's bad that Germany's, you know, I don't like that Germany's going to not have enough masks for their first responders, but frankly, Germany should take care of Germany.
00:59:53.000They should have been prepared and maybe they should be smarter about how they get their masks.
00:59:59.000But we should exploit advantage at every opportunity that we can because it's life or death for our people.
01:00:04.000And I would want that from our government.
01:00:31.000Because it is entirely moral and Christian and biblical and all the rest to look after your own, to look after your loved ones, your family first.
01:00:43.000And there's nothing wrong with doing that.
01:00:45.000It's not saying that we're going to be exceedingly or unnecessarily cruel or selfish or anything like that, but simply that we must take care of ourselves.
01:00:54.000And we have to adopt a self-interested worldview as opposed to this worldview where we're self-sacrificing.
01:01:02.000And by self-sacrificing, not like in some kind of noble martyr way, but in a stupid way.
01:01:08.000That we are helping other countries that don't like us at our own expense.
01:01:14.000Our leaders have to change that first.
01:01:16.000And thank God for Trump that he's doing this.
01:01:18.000I know that in the Obama administration they'd be giving these things away, right?
01:01:22.000Yeah, and it should be, we should, in the sake of fairness, point out that Trump gave away a lot of masks in January, stupidly, but we're fixing that, so...
01:01:32.000You know, it's something to look at now, and it's something to think about with coronavirus, but it's also something to think about after coronavirus, and it's something to think about in a very general way, about resources, about people, about populations, about our government, and how all these things are interacting, and how we have to respond to these changing times.
01:01:50.000We no longer can be selfless, self-sacrificing humanitarians for the world, especially for a world that does not have a limiting principle on taking from us.
01:02:01.000You know, do the Mexican people say, you've been too kind?
01:02:18.000Do they take until they've stripped away the copper in the walls and they've taken the clothes off our back and everything until there's nothing left.
01:02:44.000We might have been... I don't think we were ever able to afford to do that, but we're certainly not going to be able to afford to do that in the future.
01:02:52.000If there was ever a time to say, enough with the charity, enough with the self-sacrifice, it's after this.
01:02:58.000And I hope people have that consciousness.
01:03:00.000I hope people, after seeing how this stuff works,
01:03:05.000I hope they're going to understand we have to take care of our country because people don't usually see the connection.
01:03:11.000They see the supermarket full of stuff and psychologically, subconsciously, I think there's this mentality that we just have infinite resources.
01:06:28.000It's like, is it really, is this show really that good that people are still like, you know, doing a show every night is great and all.
01:06:36.000I guess, I guess I'm having a good time, but I guess there's like 500 episodes of this show, but what about those 10 episodes you made a year ago?
01:07:51.000Everybody's afraid of women and what I mean by that is they don't want to go against the grain on politics or feminism because they know if they do that,
01:08:00.000Then their girlfriend's gonna get mad at them.
01:09:04.000And I don't want her to break up with me.
01:09:05.000I'll do things differently so that she won't break up with me.
01:09:10.000But it's in those very things, it's in that very mentality, which is why, which repulses a lot of girls, or repels a lot of girls.
01:09:19.000You know, not that I'm like, don't get me wrong, not like I'm like the relationship expert, I'm not like a, you know, the girl whisperer, the girl guru, you probably know that by now.
01:09:27.000But, um, I also know that I say a lot of things that men are afraid to say, or they don't want to say.
01:09:41.000He's like this libertarian, and I went on his stream back in December, and he was like, you know, you're anti-woman, and my wife is a genius.
01:09:50.000My wife is in the room right now, and she's so smart, and she's the best, and blah blah blah.
01:09:55.000That's like, dude, like, you're just sad, man.
01:09:58.000And by the way, women like the abuse anyway.
01:11:41.000It's based off of William Randolph Hearst.
01:11:44.000And there's a scene where him and his wife, they start out, they have this great marriage, and they start out at this dining room table, which is very small, and they have this great relationship and they're so in love.
01:11:55.000And slowly but surely, it's like this montage.
01:11:58.000As time goes on, the table gets bigger and bigger.
01:12:00.000They get farther apart as he gets richer and more powerful.
01:12:04.000And there's one point in that montage where the lady goes, well, people will think.
01:12:12.000And he interjects, would I tell them to think?
01:12:17.000You know, it's sort of like that about women.
01:15:58.000So I have sort of a nuanced approach to that.
01:16:01.000I don't look at China and say, oh, we need like American style buildings and American style music and blue jeans and rock and roll and rap and all that.
01:16:11.000But I do say that, you know, while China has national sovereignty and a lot of their culture is an expression of their people, obviously some things are not really up to snuff.
01:16:23.000When it comes to hygiene or sanitation, and a lot of that is simply a matter of wealth, or it's a matter of, you know, them just coming out of the 20th century, but that's sort of my take on that.
01:16:37.000Let's see, Stephanie doesn't have anything to say, just a diamond, thanks.
01:16:41.000Mellow Life says, my parents said Alex Jones is a snake oil salesman.
01:16:45.000Well, your parents are probably cringed.
01:16:47.000The Gardener says, sorry for being cringe, here's some diamonds.
01:17:46.000I think that was all I had for breakfast and then for lunch I had the Cava Dills and I'm gonna have soup after the show so let's see based beans on toast says red Lori yellow Lori I don't know what that is sharded says nothing well hey thank you for the ninja and no message just how I like them okay that's what it says
01:19:11.000base dollar says it was a wild week for this wagee but nobody works harder than you big guy very true well thanks for the ninja genie I hope you're doing okay I hope you're not suffering from any coronavirus related financial problems so I hope by wild week I hope you don't mean that things are you know things are tough hope you're doing okay man but I appreciate the support
01:25:04.000Well the background footage the background footage isn't laggy Actually, the problem is people were complaining forever that it was too fast They were saying oh the background is moving too fast.
01:25:16.000It's distracting So I had to slow it way way down here look if I edit it and now it's going at full speed now It's not laggy
01:27:19.000These are the official numbers for foreign direct assistance.
01:27:23.000And there's other forms of aid, and some people speculate it could be a little higher per year, but let's just work with the number we have.
01:28:19.000I mean, the $1,200 checks, one round of $1,200 checks, not even to everybody, a one-time check for $1,200, for people making less than $75,000, I apologize for the sniffling,
01:33:04.000Fans are saying, Nick Fuentes is a genius, blah blah blah, handsome, amazing.
01:33:09.000And if I didn't like myself, I could say, well, the critics are saying that, you know, he's an optics cuck and a grifter and... So you could just voice whatever opinion you want through, vicariously through, you know, the critic or the fan.
01:34:36.000MS says, Trump is a nationalist, not a Republican.
01:34:39.000If people want socialism, then give it to them.
01:34:42.000Uh, yeah, I'm not a socialist, but yeah, I mean more... Look, like, socialism and capitalism, kind of a false dichotomy, but yeah, big government, give it to them, absolutely.
01:38:50.000And she says, I just read your father's birthday card and you said such nice things and in my birthday card last year you didn't write nice things.
01:39:29.000And I'm like, you know, it's like I got ten fucking plates spinning right now.
01:39:33.000I'm trying to do a hundred different projects.
01:39:35.000I'm like Hardly eating or sleeping as I'm doing so much and you know and I got to be like Sorry that a year ago in your birthday card that a year ago a year ago.
01:39:45.000I wrote your birthday card like a funny thing but
01:39:49.000Anyway, point being, this is how it is in my household.
01:39:53.000A lot of, you know, when it comes to things like that, I either have to like, you know, really dig deep and pour my heart out and say something very sentimental, or if, you know, I just make a joke or something.
01:40:03.000But I can't just, a lot of people are like, oh, like you're the best, and I love you, and whatever, and I find it very hard to sort of like,
01:40:12.000fake a sentimentality to fake something that I'm not that's why I don't like acting or things like that I have a very hard time faking so so I find there's no other way for me to be really for better for worse sometimes that gets me in a lot of trouble but some say it's a great strength but that's not to say that like oh I can't I don't love my mom and I have to fake it that's not what I meant by that I meant that like I either have to like really concentrate and like
01:40:41.000You know, really dig deep and write a very sentimental message that I mean.
01:40:46.000Or, if I'm feeling lazy, I'll just write a joke or whatever.
01:45:44.000So I don't actually know off the top of my head how many middle class people there are, but certainly that is true that the middle class is shrinking.
01:45:51.000I don't know if they're becoming a minority, but it is shrinking.
01:45:54.000Official says not talking about Bill Gates and ID2020.
01:54:13.000You get your dignity from, like, self-respect and self-worth, and I think you get those things from a relationship with God and a relationship with your parents.
01:54:25.000That's where you get a sense of self-worth.
01:54:28.000That's the only place that you get it because if you don't get that kind of acknowledgement or that strong relationship with your parents, you will be fighting to fill that void for the rest of your life in unhealthy ways.
01:54:43.000One of them is trying to get attention in that way.
01:54:45.000Sexually or otherwise or even with money and that that could be a way that people are Becoming undignified and the other way is with God even if you have a good relationship with your parents If you don't have a good relationship with God and you see the big picture You're like no cares.
01:55:01.000We're all animals and even if you have a good relationship with your parents.
01:56:28.000American revival says link for music from Saturday stream America first No, you don't you know, you don't get a link from what do you mean link from my Spotify?
01:56:37.000You're not getting a link to my Spotify American groper says oh Oh the the new intro music.
01:57:11.000If you know Taylor Street, it's like Little Italy in Chicago.
01:57:17.000So it was a franchise, but they originated downtown on Taylor Street, and they had great pizza, they had great cavadills, they had all kinds of good stuff.
01:57:26.000And I used to go there a lot as a kid.
01:57:28.000I had my first communion there, actually, my communion party.
01:57:32.000And they closed down when I was a kid.
01:57:37.000But I used to go there all the time as a kid, and we'd get the cavadills, we'd get a slice of pizza, and it reminds me, it's like these old flavors.
