In this episode of America First, host Nicholas J. Fuentes talks about the latest numbers on the number of confirmed cases of the coronavirus, the relief package, and Trump's latest news conference. He also takes a look at the impact of social media being shut down, and what it means for the long-term impact of the virus on the economy, the stock market, and the rest of the world. He also gives his thoughts on the long term impact the virus could have on the country and the impact it may have on college students going back to school in the summer and what that could mean for the future of the country's economy and the economy as a whole.

00:00:57.000Now, I don't know about you guys, but I thought when all this was happening, I thought it would be like the movie Contagion.
00:01:04.000And I thought we would feel this crescendoing intensity.
00:01:10.000Every day we would see an escalation where we should have been on lockdown by now.
00:01:15.000We should have had lockdown, martial law imminent, looting, rioting, like a real breakdown in civil order.
00:01:23.000But instead, all we get is a rerun of the same show for three weeks.
00:01:27.000Well, the Congress is working on yet another relief package, Trump did another news conference, we've got another update on the number of confirmed cases, and another take on when this is going to end.
00:01:43.000I mean, this has been the show now for like three weeks and I, you know, I'm bored and here's the worst part.
00:01:53.000As a content creator, if I was like a gamer, if I was, I don't know, a lifestyle content creator, at least this would change things up a little bit.
00:02:03.000But the whole world is ground to a standstill and we're held up here.
00:02:07.000We're held hostage by the virus to talk about the same things every night.
00:02:12.000So it's gonna be gonna be another show talking about the virus.
00:02:16.000I wish I could make it more interesting for you.
00:02:19.000Maybe I'll start doing more daytime streams.
00:02:39.000So maybe I'll have to supplement with maybe more content in the afternoon or the evening.
00:02:44.000I've been going on Jaden's streams after the show to game with him.
00:02:48.000Maybe I'll have to do my own gaming streams, or maybe I'll have to do streams in the afternoon, and watch content, and interview people, and game, and do things like that, because I gotta tell you, it's like every night, deja vu!
00:03:01.000Another news conference, stock markets, well I think actually stock market did okay today, but you know, the economy is shut down, more numbers, phase three of the relief package, you know what they said today?
00:03:15.000There's gonna be a fourth and fifth relief package.
00:03:18.000So, one month from now, it'll be the same show!
00:03:21.000In one month, it'll be, well, here, the numbers are higher again, the stock market's still down, economy's still closed, phase five of the relief package is well underway, news conference number 56, there's gonna be more news conferences than there are episodes of this show by the end of this virus.
00:03:38.000We're gonna be on news conference 10,500,
00:04:32.000When are restaurants going to open up again?
00:04:34.000When are we going to shut down social distancing?
00:04:37.000Because I hate to tell you this, but while we might see a slight return to normalcy soon, in a short-term timeline, maybe we'll see this by summer at the latest, a return to work, a return to school and college and all that, the social distancing and a lot of the guidelines about preventing the spread of the coronavirus will not go away.
00:05:02.000We don't know how long the novel coronavirus will be with us until we build up a natural immunity or we develop a vaccine.
00:05:11.000That's the nature of a pandemic like this.
00:05:13.000So, while we may return to work and we may return to school, the idea of not thinking about the virus, the idea of thinking about that when we greet each other with a handshake or a hug or a kiss, when we meet strangers, when we're in public places, the consciousness about that may never change.
00:05:32.000and checking temperatures and wearing masks and things like that so what we're thinking about on this show and what we've been thinking about for maybe the last week and a half we've been predicting you know the the show is very forward thinking back in january when nobody was talking about this we were talking about what's the lockdown going to look like what is the worst case scenario going to look like in the united states when this comes here
00:05:57.000Now that we're firmly in a shelter-in-place scenario, or 100 million people are in a shelter-in-place scenario, restaurants, schools, work closed, non-essential work closed obviously, now I'm looking 6, 9, 12 months from now and wondering what is the long-term time horizon here for
00:06:16.000Some semblance of normalcy and that's kind of what we're gonna tackle tonight and get a little bit back into that We're gonna talk about the news conference and what Trump is saying, you know today or rather yesterday we were talking about how
00:06:29.000The president said that the cure could be worse than the disease.
00:06:33.000That the response, which has been this unprecedented crackdown on economic and social activity, that that may be worse than the transmission of the coronavirus and the casualties it will cause itself.
00:06:45.000We talked about that idea and how it is true to a point, but we should remain in quarantine for some time.
00:06:52.000Tonight, along a very similar line of thinking, the president said that he is aiming for the economy to reopen by Easter.
00:08:44.000From what I understand, I think we are.
00:08:46.000Nancy Pelosi said today that she's hoping that it will pass unanimously, the Senate version of the relief bill.
00:08:52.000And the Senate version of the relief bill said that if you made less than $75,000 on your 2018 tax returns, and they eliminated the lower bound, the lower threshold for that, remember last week they were saying that you had to make like $24,000 as an individual,
00:09:12.000The government's gonna give $1,200 to everybody that makes less than $75,000 and there's no minimum there that you need to qualify for the money.
00:09:22.000So that is in the Senate version of the bill.
00:09:24.000If it passes the House, that means that in something like three weeks, if you made less than $75,000 in 2018, you're gonna get a check in the mail for $1,200 and $500 for every child you have.
00:09:35.000And again, that money tapers off from $75,000 to $100,000.
00:09:39.000If you made between $75,000 and $100,000 in 2018, you might get a little something, but not the full check.
00:10:04.000Representative Jim Banks introduced a bill in Congress today condemning the Chinese government over their negligence in handling the coronavirus.
00:10:13.000And we'll talk about what's in the resolution, what they're condemned for.
00:10:17.000Among other things, they're condemned for the Uyghurs.
00:10:41.000But this Jim Banks guy is a real winner.
00:10:43.000If you remember, back in, I want to say, December?
00:10:48.000There was a big conversation about pornography in politics and on Twitter.
00:10:54.000Everybody was talking about banning porn or putting penalties on internet pornography sites.
00:11:01.000This was a big thing back in December, and I don't know if anybody remembers, but the reason for all that, and we talked about this on my show, is that Jim Banks, along with a few other congressmen, put together a bill.
00:11:13.000They put together a resolution asking that the Justice Department prosecute
00:11:18.000Some porn companies under obscenity laws.
00:11:21.000I think it was obscenity laws, something like that.
00:11:25.000If you remember, there was a big, big uproar about pornography, which was very refreshing to hear people getting agitated about that back in December.
00:11:35.000And I believe that what was the instigator for all that was Jim Banks and his bill.
00:13:51.000Maybe this will change things up a little bit.
00:13:54.000Did you guys see the story where we know that the president has been promoting this hydroxychloroquine or hydroxychloroquine as the
00:14:04.000Potential antidote to the coronavirus.
00:14:06.000This is potentially an effective treatment for the virus.
00:14:10.000Keep in mind, by the way, that with the coronavirus, there's no cure and there's not even a treatment.
00:14:16.000You know that with the virus, you don't really ever get rid of the virus.
00:14:20.000You just kind of have to wait it out, right?
00:14:22.000I'm not a doctor, but when it comes to a virus and some of these diseases, it's not like you go to the doctor and boop, you know, they hit you with the syringe or they give you a pill and I'm good now.
00:14:34.000No, it's like you treat your symptoms, you reduce the symptoms and reduce the discomfort until the virus just leaves your body, right?
00:14:42.000So there's no treatment, there's no cure.
00:14:44.000For a lot of people that are out there saying, it's the flu still, or saying it's not a big deal, if you're not old you don't have to worry.
00:14:51.000It does permanent organ damage, it hurts your fertility.
00:14:54.000Permanent reduction in your fertility in some cases.
00:14:57.000It affects your heart, your lungs, your liver, I'm sorry, your kidneys.
00:17:12.000Maybe not for why he's saying it, but there needs to be a wash.
00:17:18.000Maybe this coronavirus is that great rain that we've been hoping for.
00:17:22.000A great rain to wash the scum off the streets.
00:17:26.000Not to say that these people are scum, they're just idiots.
00:17:30.000But they're legitimately out there saying the president is at fault because, you know, he talked about a drug and they rummaged around their pantry and got fish tank cleaner that happens to contain hydroxychloroquine that kills fish parasites and then they drank it.
00:17:45.000Obviously, when you take a drug like that, you take it from a doctor.
00:17:50.000You go to the hospital, you go to the doctor, the doctor prescribes it to you, and you take a medical grade version of whatever the substance is.
00:18:10.000I didn't believe it at first, but I looked it up.
00:18:13.000You don't go and take bleach from under your sink and pour it in a glass and drink, you know, a liter of it, right?
00:18:19.000Everybody knows that, and they're trying to... Well, the president said hydroxychloroquine, so it's his fault that I drank fish tank cleaner.
00:18:26.000And the washing is kind of the critical word there because what is sort of the connotation of a washing?
00:18:32.000When the president says that I'm thinking so true, but why is it so directionally accurate?
00:18:38.000Because wash has the connotation of clean, pure.
00:18:43.000Maybe there is something about this coronavirus which will clean up the country a little bit, clean up a lot of the problems, clean up a lot of these people.
00:18:52.000You know, I've been saying it for a long time, and I don't know what the solution is, but look, for most of our history, most people died.
00:19:02.000Throughout human history, when you look at people being born, it wasn't until very recently that everybody lived to be, you know, 100 years old.
00:19:10.000Everybody that was born, with few exceptions, lived to be 100 years old.
00:19:14.000Infant mortality through the roof, or the opposite, right?
00:19:18.000I mean, the survivability of infants is through the roof, rather.
00:19:21.000Everybody who's born basically makes it, and then once you're born, you basically make it until you die.
00:19:26.000That's not to say that nobody dies, or you make it until you're old.
00:19:29.000That's not to say that nobody dies from anything other than old age, but you understand.
00:19:33.000People are born, and more than at any other time in human history, you're safe, no matter what, no matter how dumb, dysfunctional, whatever that you are.
00:21:21.000I especially don't like that they blamed it on the President.
00:21:23.000It would be one thing, it would be tragic, because you look at old people, and old people may be a little foolish, right, or they're a little bit confused, they're not all the way with it, and maybe they, you know, you know, we all, we all do goofy stuff sometimes.
00:21:37.000I'd be more inclined to be sympathetic if this was just a tragedy.
00:21:40.000If they just documented this as just one tragedy,
00:21:44.000One accident that happened to occur during this time of, you know, great, great confusion and everything.
00:21:51.000But then they try and spin it and say, don't, you know, you see this hysterical woman, she's on the phone with the media saying, my message to America is don't trust the president.
00:22:37.000As, as always, we're going to bring down the brightness here for your, your visual comfort there so you can see it just a little bit better.
00:22:46.000We've got our confirmed cases and they're going up.
00:24:17.000So we're talking about, you know, I mean not, I guess it's not accurate to say that it doubled, but you're talking about almost 150,000 new worldwide cases since Friday.
00:25:19.000Switzerland now has more cases, if you'll notice, than South Korea.
00:25:22.000For many weeks, South Korea held the number 8 spot here.
00:25:41.000Switzerland has now surpassed them with 9,877 cases.
00:25:46.000South Korea now on this side of the board with 9,000.
00:25:50.000Pretty soon almost every country in Europe will surpass South Korea because almost every country in Europe is reporting more new cases every day than South Korea, which is really incredible.
00:26:01.000And you may notice that on this side of the board, I don't really focus too much on this side, but we've got two new entries.
00:26:08.000Yesterday, Portugal came on the board and then they left.
00:26:13.000Brazil is now here in 15th place with 2,201 cases.
00:26:17.000And Canada has made its debut on the board with 2,091 confirmed cases.
00:26:26.000So the numbers are bad and the trends that I'm looking at are that the United States is going to overtake Italy and probably the official numbers for China very soon.
00:26:37.000Could happen by the end of the week, probably next Monday at the latest I would say.
00:26:42.000Spain is rising very rapidly just like Italy.
00:26:45.000Spain's going to be maybe the second worst hotspot outside of Italy in the continent of Europe.
00:26:50.000France is kind of keeping down their numbers.
00:26:53.000France has not surpassed Iran yet, I don't believe.
00:27:14.000I guess that's not too dramatic, but 8,000, that's a lot for the UK.
00:27:17.000So, we're going to see this board change over time.
00:27:20.000I'm sure that as the disease spreads outside of just Europe and North America, you're going to see the entry of Brazil.
00:27:27.000Brazil, I'm sure, is going to skyrocket.
00:27:30.000India is going to take off in a huge way.
00:27:33.000Let me see how many official cases they have right now.
00:27:37.000They're not reporting a ton, actually.
00:27:39.000Yeah, they're only reporting 521, but they just put their entire population on lockdown.
00:27:44.000So I have a feeling that once the testing is widespread there, once they start reporting better numbers, they're gonna be right up there with China, US, Italy.
00:27:53.000So it's gonna get bad all over the world.
00:27:55.000That's why this is a truly... I mean, I don't need to tell you this, but that's why it's a truly global pandemic, because you're gonna see everything that we were looking at in Wuhan and in China back in February,
00:28:06.000We're gonna see that in every major country in the world.
00:28:09.000Every major country in the world will get the Wuhan, you know, and the China treatment.
00:28:13.000You'll see that, and we're seeing that in Europe, it's coming in the United States, in Brazil, India, you'll see it all over Latin America, the Middle East, I'm sure.
00:28:22.000I don't know about subs here in Africa, but this is pretty serious stuff.
00:28:25.000It's a pretty global problem and it's going to tear through the United States and we're looking at what the timeline looks like for us.
00:28:32.000But think about the global fallout from this.
00:28:34.000Think about if this pandemic burns through every major country in the world.
00:28:39.000Not every major country can cope with something like this in the way that we can.
00:28:44.000Not every major country is stable enough to do that.
00:28:47.000Think of how stable Europe and the United States and China are.
00:28:52.000These are some of the most stable places in the world.
00:28:54.000The United States and Europe because we're wealthy and developed.
00:29:00.000What happens when this virus gets to, you know, some of these countries where they're not stable at all, where the government has no control and the people are unruly?
00:29:08.000What happens when this virus sweeps through South America, Africa, the Middle East, the kind of turmoil that that will cause?
00:29:15.000This is something that will not be recovered from in generations in a lot of these places, I imagine, if it tears through in the way that it's tearing through here.
00:29:24.000So we're looking primarily at the United States because this is America first and that's our country, but we have to look at this board and really develop a global consciousness when thinking about this.
00:29:37.000Not like in a globalist way, but just thinking about the ramifications of a virus that is spreading as quickly as it is with the death rate as high as it does in every country in the world.
00:30:54.000This used to be an industrial country where Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, this was like the bedrock of the country.
00:31:52.000Maybe we'll have to do advanced education for everybody to learn how to work with machines and robots and AI and in logistics and this kind of thing.
00:32:00.000But we may see a re-industrialization of America because of this.
00:32:05.000Because I think, you know, you just have to think about it.
00:32:09.000Wiping out all these other countries and how that's going to affect us, it is going to affect us on a level that is unacceptable, that will have fixed everything, but it may drag our economy down because we're so interdependent with all these other countries.
00:32:25.000The solution is break the dependence, not simply just on China, although they're the biggest problem, but on every country.
00:32:32.000And pretty soon you might see every country turn inwardly back towards itself.
00:33:56.000We're gonna move on and look at the news conference and the relief package, you know, the other parts of the show, your favorite parts of the show.
00:34:05.000We've got our whiteboard segment out of the way.
00:34:07.000Now we got to get to the news conference segment.
00:34:10.000And we'll talk, but that's just something to meditate on, that's just something to think about a little bit.
00:35:31.000It says, quote, Even as nations from Britain to India declare nationwide economic lockdowns, President Trump said he would, quote, love to have the country opened up and just waiting to go by Easter.
00:35:43.000Less than three weeks away, a goal that top health professionals have called far too quick.
00:35:49.000He said, quote, I think it's possible.
00:35:53.000Participating in a town hall hosted by Fox News on Tuesday, he expressed outrage about having to close the country to curb the spread of the coronavirus and indicated that his guidelines on business shutdowns and social distancing would soon be lifted.
00:36:10.000We can socially distance ourselves and go to work.
00:36:14.000But at a late afternoon news conference, he softened his tone, saying his priority is the health and safety of the American people.
00:36:21.000At the news conference, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, sought to refine Mr. Trump's Easter timeline, saying it would not pertain to hotspots like New York.
00:36:32.000There could be, quote, flexibility in different areas based on data.
00:36:36.000He said we need to know what's going on in those areas in the country where there isn't an obvious outbreak.
00:36:43.000And this is kind of the gist of it, which is to say that America is obviously a diverse country, not simply in the sense that we use it demographically and racially, but it's diverse in population density and the type of development of the land, right, and the economy, things like that.
00:37:05.000What applies to New York City at a time like this does not obviously apply to Idaho or Montana or Wyoming.
00:37:12.000What applies to Los Angeles may not apply to certain rural parts of California even.
00:37:18.000What applies in Austin, Texas might not apply in Oklahoma, right?
00:37:22.000And so, to me, that's kind of the gist of where we are that the President is saying that
00:37:27.000There's never going to be a nationwide lockdown.
00:37:29.000We're never going to see this sort of blanket approach.
00:37:31.000That's why they've been taking it state by state.
00:37:34.000He's looking at an Easter timeline and Fauci is saying that well of course New York City will still be closely monitored and they might still be subject to
00:37:44.000A lot of restrictions but maybe other parts of the country can't open up depending on where this is.
00:37:49.000And to me that makes sense because if you're looking at the curve in each state, which is to say the curve that is how you're tracking the number of daily new coronavirus cases, the curve is different in every state.
00:38:02.000In other words, you have a much more dramatic curve in New York and California and Washington than you do in, say, a state like West Virginia or Kansas or something like that.
00:38:13.000There are more daily new coronavirus cases in Washington than there are in neighboring Idaho or Oregon.
00:38:22.000And so because of that, you have to change the restrictions.
00:38:25.000The one problem with that mentality though, which some people pointed out, is the fact that
00:38:30.000When you lift the regulations on one state, there is nothing between the states that is keeping people from going from Washington to Idaho.
00:38:40.000So in other words, if you say lift all the regulations on Pennsylvania...
00:38:47.000What's to say that people in New York, who are subject to major restrictions, are not just going to hop across the border and spread it in Pennsylvania?
00:38:54.000Certainly there are people on the border in New York, who live right on the border, who are going to go and dine out at restaurants in Pennsylvania.
00:39:01.000And they dine out at restaurants in Pennsylvania, or they fly to Pennsylvania, right?
00:39:05.000Or they fly... And this is just a hypothetical.
00:39:08.000So that's the problem, is if you don't have a nationwide approach that is
00:47:05.000I'm hoping that that is just basically a white lie.
00:47:07.000And you could say four-dimensional chess or whatever, but to me that might just be like a psychological release valve, like I said the other day.
00:47:44.000And so maybe Trump gets on the television and says that just to put a little light at the end of the tunnel, just to provide a little mirage of an oasis where people look at that and say, oh, three weeks, I can do that.
00:47:55.000You know, one week ago, they said two weeks.
00:47:57.000Today, they said, well, in three weeks.
00:47:59.000And here's what I'm hoping is that in three weeks, the numbers are going to skyrocket.
00:48:05.000By Easter you're going to be looking at hundreds of thousands of people that are confirmed with the virus, and you're going to be looking at hospitals overrun, and you're going to be looking at many people dead.
00:48:16.000And my thought process is, is that Trump maybe knows that now?
00:48:22.000And he's telling people, well, this can't go on forever.
00:48:25.000Let's just, and investors and consumers say, okay, well, we could do three weeks.
00:48:31.000And then when things begin to really deteriorate and really get ugly, if that is the possibility, if these numbers spike, and I think that's likely at this point, as we get to, you know, 100, 200,000 cases at that point, if we get up to those kinds of numbers by Easter, then the consensus will be,
00:48:48.000Okay, things have obviously gotten so bad, this emergency has to continue, and there'll be a different set of circumstances.
00:48:55.000And that's kind of what you have to understand about politics, is it's not a matter of lying, it's simply a matter of kind of just managing expectations.
00:49:05.000I don't know if that's a euphemism for lying, but
00:49:08.000You'll understand that that's what politics is.
00:49:10.000Politics is fundamentally about communication and persuasion and these kinds of things.
00:49:15.000And I'm hoping that the President understands that and that's what the game is here.
00:49:19.000Because the President could have very easily gone out in January and shut everything down.
00:49:25.000Because if you go in January and put everybody on lockdown and start the scaremongering, nobody's really going to buy that.
00:49:31.000You know, nobody's really gonna buy it, and if they don't buy it, if they don't think it's legitimate or justified, they're not gonna go along with it.
00:49:37.000If they don't go along with it, then you've got, like, unrest on your hands.
00:49:40.000Civil unrest, or a revolt in the polls, or something like that.
00:49:43.000So you kind of have to, you kind of, it's like a dance.
00:49:47.000You kind of have to play it with the events, and manage those expectations, and, you know, today, with the severity that we're at, 52,000, or I'm sorry, what is it?
00:49:56.000Yeah, 52,000 cases still isn't astronomical.
00:50:01.000It really isn't but you know it's it's a lot and we know the direction it's going in so when you look at a number like that you could say oh well in two weeks maybe this bull is over maybe it doesn't but I'd like to get everybody back to business and then when things really hit the fan well everybody will agree time to delay time to move it back a little bit further.
00:50:19.000I'm hoping that's what's going on because we're not going to be ready to go back and there was a report today in Fox Business or CNBC I think
00:51:01.000All that's being asked of you is to do extraordinary things during an extraordinary time.
00:51:07.000Nobody's saying that for the rest of your life you're never going to leave your house, but it's just that during this time we're asking a little bit of everybody, right?
00:51:16.000Just be conscious, cognizant, social distancing, hygiene, things like that.
00:51:20.000I don't understand what's so complicated about this, and the economy has to get back to work, but, you know, outside of the pressing concerns about that, it's like, people really can't just go on their houses.
00:51:31.000We've been on a vacation from history for 30 years, you know, since the end of the Cold War, and with the exception of 9-11 and maybe 2008,
00:51:40.000This country, like, has been a theme park for everybody.
00:51:44.000No major disasters, no major episodes, no major hardship.
00:51:48.000And I'm speaking very generally, on average.
00:51:51.000And there's, like, a one-week period where people are, well, you can still go to the drive-thru, but you can't dine in at McDonald's, and people are going crazy.
00:52:20.000When you have a country that's not stable and is not cohesive and it does not have a concept of unity, you cannot do difficult things and you cannot do sustained things over a long period of time.
00:52:39.000You know, Jack Kennedy said, we're going to go to the moon, and we're going to do it because it's hard, and all this.
00:52:43.000And over a 10 year period, there was a sustained effort over a long period of time to do something incredible.
00:52:51.000You could only do that over a 10 year period like that.
00:52:53.000And you know, we had a space program for a lot longer than that.
00:52:56.000But he said, we're going to go to the moon.
00:52:59.000And we set the goal, and 10 years later we got there.
00:53:02.000You can't do anything like that when you've got a country that is completely disunited, completely divided, completely unstable.
00:53:11.000And the same is true of difficult things, like a war, you know, like a great war with a great power, or a nationwide catastrophe like this.
00:53:19.000And a country needs to do things like that.
00:53:21.000To be a great country, you need to be able to do great things, and great things require long-term projects, long-term commitments in their heart.
00:53:29.000We are not a great country because of that.
00:53:54.000That is why nobody thinks of Brazil as a great country, like they think of the United States.
00:53:58.000When you look at the United States, you used to think of the Hoover Dam, and the moon landing, and the railroad that went from coast to coast, and these great skyscrapers, which at the time were miraculous and everything.
00:54:11.000And we can't do anything like that anymore.
00:55:25.000It says, quote, a bipartisan resolution being introduced by Representative Jim Banks on Tuesday condemns the Chinese government over its handling of the coronavirus outbreak
00:55:37.000Painting a stark picture of lies and mismanagement contributing to the pandemic that has infected nearly 400,000 people worldwide and killed more than 16,700 people.
00:55:49.000The resolution argues that the Chinese government, quote, made multiple serious mistakes in the early stages of the outbreak that heightened the severity and spread the ongoing pandemic, which includes the Chinese government's intentional spread of misinformation to downplay the risks of the virus, a refusal to cooperate with international health authorities, internal censorship of doctors and journalists, and malicious disregard for the health of ethnic minorities.
00:56:16.000Specifically, the resolution suggests that China was aware of a novel coronavirus strain in mid-December, with multiple doctors raising the alarm among the Chinese medical community before the New Year.
00:56:27.000But the resolution says Chinese authorities muzzled those doctors, including on January 3rd, forcing one to sign a letter confessing that he had made false comments that severely disturbed the social order.
00:56:40.000The largely Republican group of representatives also condemns China for its treatment of the Uyghur Muslims, a religious minority from which U.S.
00:56:50.000government officials believe China has rounded up between 800,000 and 2 million people, placing them in re-education camps that function largely as forced labor camps.
00:57:02.000Finally the resolution lays out the Chinese government's propaganda campaign to paper over its responsibility for the rapid spread of the coronavirus, specifically mentioning its lack of cooperation with the CDC.
00:57:15.000A foreign ministry spokesman who claimed that coronavirus originated in the U.S.
00:57:20.000and that the United States Army brought the virus to Wuhan to wage biological warfare on China and China's move to expel journalists with the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and New York Times.
00:57:33.000So, this is exactly what I talked about yesterday.
00:58:06.000But there are no shortage of atrocities and injustices being perpetrated by governments around the world.
00:58:13.000This is not really the time or the place for that.
00:58:15.000We're talking about a virus which is infecting our population.
00:58:19.000And I'm more concerned about Ohio than I'm concerned about southwestern China, right?
00:58:25.000In any case, that aside, this is exactly what we need, is a resolution condemning China, and we need it to be signed by the President, and hopefully this will serve as the basis of a real, you know, for them really being held accountable after all this is said and done.
00:58:41.000Obviously right now we need to focus on
00:58:44.000The economy and we need to focus on the public health aspect of the virus, treating everybody, getting everybody the health care that they need, reducing the burden on hospitals, reducing the transmission of the virus, working on a cure, immunity, all that.
00:59:01.000But we need to build the foundation so that when all of that is resolved, we can hold them accountable and we have the legal framework and the diplomatic framework to make that happen.
00:59:11.000So I'm excited to see this and I'm excited that a Republican congressman is taking the lead on this.
00:59:48.000But that would be good to have a rebuke of China during this because
00:59:52.000You know, what they've done to us is criminal and there has to be consequences.
00:59:56.000So, I don't want to see this forgotten.
00:59:59.000It would be easy for people to forget about this because everybody's focused, obviously, now on reopening the economy and getting people back to work and back to school and treating the sick and all the problems that we're dealing with, obviously, at home.
01:02:00.000Because I can't really tell and there's only so much I could do because the news is what it is.
01:02:04.000You know, the show's gonna be bigger and more entertaining when something exciting's happening, and you know, obviously, I can bring a certain level to the table of energy and excitement and humor and whatever, but the news, that is a big variable aspect of it, so I hope you understand.
01:02:20.000Okay, people are saying, great show, unironically good, great show.
01:03:12.000I'm glad you like the show That's the equivalent of when a girl posts on Instagram and she says I'm so ugly and she's like totally hot and all her friends are like
01:03:40.000It's so, it's like, a lot of these people are total narcissists, but they affect this self-hating, and they are self-hating in a way, but they're also, it's kind of like a weird complex, but they're totally self-consumed and self-obsessed and narcissistic, but they put on this facade of like, oh I hate myself, I don't care about myself, whatever.
01:04:00.000They'll post a picture, I look like shit.
01:06:07.000And it's so funny, it's almost like...
01:06:10.000It's like that toothpaste that you used to use when you were a kid.
01:06:13.000I don't know if you guys ever heard about this, but there was this toothpaste where you would brush it on your teeth, or I'm sorry, it was a mouthwash.
01:06:19.000There was this mouthwash where you would use it as a kid, and it was blue.
01:06:23.000And you did the mouthwash, and you spit it out, and it would dye the plaque on your teeth, and it would show you where to brush.
01:06:29.000And in a way, the coronavirus washing through the population, when it goes through the Jewish community, it kind of shows you all these little pockets where you see these gatherings happen.
01:06:41.000And you just have to scratch your chin and wonder, hmm, I wonder what's going on there?
01:07:30.000There is a Jewish law that says that, like, what is it called?
01:07:34.000I forget what the law is called, but in Jewish law, it's like one of the worst things that you can do to rat out another Jewish person to the secular authorities.
01:07:45.000So, in like, for example, Hasidic communities in New York,
01:07:50.000They have like their own community watch and they have their own sort of like a parallel government almost.
01:08:29.000Anyway, and so one of the Jewish laws is that if you rat out another Jewish person to the secular authorities, that's like a grave, grave crime in Jewish law.
01:08:40.000I don't know all the specifics, but just, like, think about that.
01:08:43.000And think about Shabbat, and think about these kinds of things.
01:08:46.000And they tell you that anti-Semitism is when you talk about, like, secret societies and conspiracy and nepotism and these kinds of things, and it's like,
01:10:43.000I've had visitors come over and they come to the studio.
01:10:46.000I have a lot of cool things in my studio.
01:10:50.000A lot of things I've collected over the years.
01:10:53.000People come to the studio and handle my things.
01:10:58.000Okay, could you put it down could you put it down, you know, all right, that's enough that's enough touching let's let's move on Let's put that down.
01:11:08.000I hate people moving my things around touching my things I make a habit of taking a picture of all my things so that I could review the pictures and see if people touch them or move them and
01:14:16.000I have to get a different fork for different things.
01:14:18.000Like the other day, I had, uh, chicken parmesan and buttered noodles.
01:14:23.000And, um, I had the buttered noodles first because I knew that if I put the buttered noodles on my plate and ate them and then put the chicken parmesan, then I wouldn't be mixing the tomato sauce with the buttered noodles.
01:14:36.000If I had the chicken parmesan on the same plate, I know that the butter noodles would get in the gravy, and I have gravy on the butter noodles, and it doesn't belong on there.
01:14:45.000And I also know that if I had the chicken parmesan first, I'd be putting them on a dirty plate with a dirty fork.
01:14:52.000I do the same thing with salad and other things, I just... So I have, I have a lot of these autistic tendencies.
01:14:57.000Okay, if you want to know the truth, I have some autistic tendencies.
01:18:14.000Question for Nick's has ever been to a candy place where you fill a bag up yeah I've been to a place like that but not not in a long time not since I was a kid but yeah there used to be this place in my neighborhood called the home economist and it was like a old-school candy store
01:18:32.000And you'd go in and they would have these bins of just like loose candy.
01:18:36.000They just have rows and rows of bins of candy, you know, or they'd have like, well, I guess not, it's not all candy, but like, you know, candy type pieces.
01:18:45.000You'd have your nuts and you'd have chocolate pieces and gummy pieces and all kinds of different candies, you know, generic type stuff.
01:18:53.000And you go and you'd fill up a bag with it.
01:19:38.000Maybe it's the difference in the upbringing, because she's, like, on top of the education, she's on top of it, she's, like, plays the piano, and she's, like, healthy.
01:20:56.000We're building up the America First studio, we're gonna, or the America First compound, we're gonna build up the gym there, we're gonna hit the gym, we're gonna exercise, and we're gonna eat a little bit healthier, but I'm gonna have, I'm gonna have my pop, I'm gonna have my McDonald's, okay?
01:21:13.000I gotta live with my physiognomy, okay?
01:21:16.000It's part of my, it's healthy for me, okay?
01:21:20.000Let's see we've got Uber Anglos has got laid off today.
01:23:20.000I've never been in that situation where you know somebody and then, you know, most of the people that I know, well, you'd like to think you know them well enough that you know, you know, basically what's going on.
01:24:15.000So, when it comes to childhood friends, I have like a little bit more leeway because it's like, you know, we grew up together, you have that special bond.
01:24:29.000I mean, when I look at something like that, unless you're talking about, like, a pedophile or, like, a rapist or, like, a sex criminal, if somebody I knew turned out to be gay or to be struggling with something like that, I obviously wouldn't be thrilled with that and I wouldn't like that, but
01:24:48.000The way that I look at it is almost like, unless it is something that is so offensive to be around that it would, like, frustrate me, I would probably just say, like, you know, look, you're a sinner, you're lost, you're, you know, obviously you're in your own way.
01:25:06.000But, I mean, is that much worse than being, like, a degenerate fornicator, or a whore, or anything else?
01:25:13.000I mean, are we gonna say that if you sin too much, or if you're not a trad Catholic, or if you're not even, like, just nominally Christian, that, like, there's no use in associating with people?
01:25:31.000It'd be one thing, because we all know the type of a person that, you know, like guys that wear makeup and guys that are carrying on and they're totally effeminate and flamboyant.
01:28:48.000And, um, so I said, I want to do something nice for him.
01:28:51.000He asked like, oh, what books should I read?
01:28:53.000And so I thought instead of like sending him an email as a reply or a letter, I said, well, I'll send him a couple of books and I'll send him a letter back.
01:29:00.000Cause he went above and beyond and it was like a nice thing.
01:29:16.000But I don't do these things so that... I almost regret when people post... I don't, you know, I don't want to feel bad that he posted it, but I almost don't like when people see that and it's like, oh, you're, you know, you're such a great person because, you know, what does it say in the Bible?
01:29:29.000You should do these nice things, you know, privately.
01:29:32.000You shouldn't make a big public... because I don't do these things.
01:29:36.000I go on this show and I browbeat my supporters and my superchatters and whatever, and I don't go out of my way to do performative acts of kindness because I don't believe in a performance.
01:29:46.000You know, and I don't mean to like, you know, I'm just such a I'm just such a good person I do good things that I don't even want the I don't even want the recognition, but it's true, but it's true I almost like embarrassed when that kind of thing gets posted But but it was nice that it got a nice reaction and a lot of people thought it was a nice thing.
01:30:03.000So it was so I'm glad that people saw that and I
01:30:09.000You know, they thought it was nice, and they got a kick out of that.
01:30:11.000I hope people, you know, felt good about that, but, uh, I just want people to know that I don't do things for that reason, so.
01:30:19.000Uh, but, but don't, the other reason I don't want people to post it is, I don't want anybody else to be expecting me to go above and beyond, you know, now, now what, am I gonna get a bunch of letters in the mail from people saying, send me books, send me stuff?
01:33:58.000They're talking about like the adrenochrome supply getting poisoned with coronavirus and the only treatment is hydroxychloroquine and the hydroxychloroquine reacts negatively with the adrenochrome so they've like they're like sentenced these the elites to this this brutal death it's like it's like a movie or a video game a syrian groiper says fellow based inspector on tiktok doing good work well thanks
01:34:27.000Josh the Remover says, went to homeland with a gas mask, got some laughs.
01:34:38.000Yeet says, slonking fish tank cleaner to own the present.
01:34:41.000Yeah, let me drink some cleaning products and it's his fault.
01:34:52.000Well, if you get same-day registration, you're going to get a lot of fraud and you're going to get a lot of people that are bused in to vote.
01:35:05.000So, it's going to turn into just like a big Democrat vote harvesting system.
01:39:49.000Holy Servant says big money wage he dropped 50 subs by the way yeah thank you so much generosity it's incredible I would have thought the coronavirus happens and I would have made dramatically less lemons and now it's more so thank you guys so much really appreciate it
01:42:00.000We are going to surpass PewDiePie very soon Yeah, what is it 600,000 more lemons until I pass PewDiePie what is he at 6.2 million I'm at 5.6 million
01:42:39.000Yeah, it's necessary right now because the economy is going to be much worse if everybody gets it and dies, you know, if 2% of the population dies.
01:48:05.000People that are too normie, and they don't think outside of their daily routine, and then there are people that are too consumed by the internet, and they don't know what the outside looks like.
01:48:14.000And not to be a centrist, but you need to keep both of these things in mind.
01:48:17.000Think about black swan events, and think about catastrophes, and you know, these kinds of vulnerabilities in the system, but then also thinking about life.
01:48:26.000Also thinking about what life is like for everybody, and how people's expectations and their thoughts shape the world.
01:49:22.000What are you going to do with the money?
01:49:42.000It's there for the reason so unless you're moving your money into stocks or gold or something like that which might be advisable then there's if you're thinking about pulling your money up because you're afraid of the bank collapsing and you're gonna lose it don't be worried about that.
01:49:57.000If you're worried about putting your money into something that's gonna hold its value better that might be something worth looking into.
01:51:36.000Based Beans says, my heart's pretty... I've been asleep since, like, yesterday, so... Based Beans says, my heart's pretty near the edge of the table right now.
01:55:52.000I would rather watch somebody get their head chopped off than look at something like that.
01:55:56.000I'd rather watch somebody get beheaded by ISIS, and I don't mean like I want that to happen, but it is less gross to me to watch somebody get their head chopped off than to talk to somebody that has food on their face.
01:56:10.000I would literally... I have to avert my gaze.
01:56:13.000When I see somebody with food on their face, I just have to look the other way.
01:56:47.000If I ever have a company, if I ever have employees, if I ever see that, I will fire people on sight if that happens.
01:56:53.000If I'm ever in that situation, we're about to bring some people onto the team, and if we ever scale that up, they're gonna tell stories about that.
01:57:03.000You're gonna be sent home if you do that around me.
01:57:06.000You come to the America First compound with food on your face, you're going to be shown the door.
01:57:11.000Let's see, Zaviva, and nobody's eating in my car.
01:57:14.000Zaviva says, I get it, different plates for different foods.
02:00:12.000I never was uh, I never liked to fool with them too much I used to play with the cicadas, but that was it.
02:00:18.000I would grab them by the wings That was what you would do
02:00:21.000When the cicadas came out, the 17-year cicadas would come out, they came out in 2007, I think, or 2009.
02:00:30.000And what you would do is, they were harmless, they didn't bite, and they were everywhere.
02:00:35.000And when I was in grade school, we'd pick them up by the wings, and we'd rip all their legs off.
02:00:40.000But that, I mean, that wasn't just a me thing, everybody did that.
02:00:43.000You'd grab them, you'd pick them up by the wings, and you could throw them, you could throw them at other people, you could throw them into the air, throw them around.
02:00:50.000or we would do is we would grab them by the wings and they would they would twitch and they would flutter but they couldn't escape you'd have them by the wings you know they just have to hang out and we would just rip we just rip all their legs off and then rip their wings but they were horrible you don't understand it was like war you know war crimes happened during war so that's why I look at it big nibber says reminder India still has frequent h1n1 outbreaks yeah something to keep in mind
02:01:17.000Elijah says this lockdown is good for business.
02:05:59.000You know what I'm talking about, that guy.
02:06:00.000Ah, well, somebody, somebody put it in chat.
02:06:09.000tell me dust off dust off is that what it is dust off commercial there it is how to properly clean your gaming gear there it is man that's some keno content look that up right now that's some generation z content
02:06:34.000Yeah, that happened in a lot of cases with me, too.
