America First - Nicholas J. Fuentes - CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC: US Reports 100,000 Confirmed Cases of Coronavirus | America First Ep. 574

00:00:05.000 Good evening, everybody.

00:00:06.000 You are watching America First.

00:00:08.000 My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes.

00:00:09.000 We have a great show for you tonight.

00:00:11.000 Very excited to be back with you here tonight on Friday.

00:00:14.000 And it is casual Friday.

00:00:17.000 It is going to be a relaxed, low-key, chill stream.

00:00:22.000 Casual stream, you can tell.

00:00:25.000 You can tell what kind of show this is going to be because I'm not wearing a necktie.

00:00:29.000 That means it's casual Friday.

00:00:31.000 And we've got a lot to talk about, lots to get into.

00:00:34.000 We'll be talking tonight, of course, yet again, and this will be the case for some time, about the coronavirus.

00:00:43.000 We'll be looking at the latest numbers.

00:00:46.000 We'll be looking at the relief package.

00:00:50.000 We'll be looking at the latest numbers and the relief package just got passed by the House today and signed by the President.

00:00:57.000 We'll talk about what that means for you, what that means for the economy.

00:01:02.000 Our main story tonight is about what's happening in the United States.

00:01:05.000 We just surpassed 100,000 confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the United States alone.

00:01:12.000 100,000 in the United States.

00:01:15.000 And we had in the last 24 hours the largest increase in the number of confirmed coronavirus out of any country in any single day.

00:01:26.000 And I'll pull up the number in front of me right now on my notes here.

00:01:29.000 The United States added close to 20,000 new coronavirus cases in just the last 24 hours.

00:01:38.000 Yesterday we became the number one country, most cases out of any other country, and today we surpassed 100,000 and had

00:01:46.000 The most cases in 24 hours.

00:01:49.000 So kind of a grim day.

00:01:50.000 We also reached 1,500 deaths today from coronavirus.

00:01:54.000 So we'll talk about that and what's happening in the US.

00:01:57.000 We'll talk about what's happening with hospitals.

00:02:00.000 You're just beginning to see now the

00:02:03.000 What would be the word?

00:02:04.000 The overwhelming of the US hospitals, the American health care system as a result of the coronavirus.

00:02:11.000 And we have been talking about this for some time.

00:02:13.000 We're due for this now and this will be the story of April.

00:02:17.000 The shortages that you're going to see of critical medical supplies and health care resources, hospital beds, ventilators, respirators,

00:02:27.000 Personnel all kinds of different things like that.

00:02:30.000 You're gonna see all of those will face shortages and as a result You'll have to ration care in these hospitals.

00:02:38.000 And what does that mean?

00:02:39.000 That means that it will be up to the hospitals to evaluate and decide who will get treated who will get care and then consequently who will not get treated and who will not get care and

00:02:51.000 We're good to go.

00:03:06.000 And this is something very sad and very tragic and not at all fun.

00:03:09.000 It really is probably going to be the toughest thing when you see a pandemic like this.

00:03:14.000 The hospitals will be so overwhelmed that it will be up to the healthcare professionals to decide and they will have to do a risk evaluation.

00:03:22.000 For example, they might look at an old person.

00:03:25.000 We're good to go.

00:03:39.000 Which is sad.

00:03:39.000 So we'll talk about the shortages and what's being done about that.

00:03:43.000 The good news is the President authorized today, or he invoked, the Defense Production Act.

00:03:50.000 He used that last week.

00:03:51.000 He put that on the table today.

00:03:53.000 He is using that to force General Motors and other manufacturers to begin to build this critical medical supplies, things like the ventilators and

00:04:05.000 Other things.

00:04:06.000 So there is going to be a reaction to that, but it's really going to get rough in the coming weeks.

00:04:11.000 We've not peaked in terms of our daily new coronavirus cases yet, so if you've been following this show for the past week, the cases in the United States just keep rising dramatically every day.

00:04:24.000 And not only does the number of cases increase every day, obviously, but the number of new cases

00:04:31.000 The rate at which we are adding new cases is increasing as well.

00:04:35.000 So of course we have more cases than the day before, but the differential is also bigger too.

00:04:41.000 So I think yesterday we had 10,000 new cases in 24 hours, and the day before that we had 8,000, and the day before that we had 6,000.

00:04:49.000 And between today and yesterday we had 20,000 new cases.

00:04:53.000 And I think it's safe to say that as the testing becomes more available across the country, because again in

00:05:01.000 In the first stages of the testing rollout, it was only widely available in Washington State and New York City.

00:05:08.000 Now that you're going to see the testing expand across the country and become more available across the country, these numbers are going to increase and the rate at which they're increasing will increase too.

00:05:20.000 So 20,000 new cases in 24 hours.

00:05:22.000 Prepare to see a lot of big numbers like this.

00:05:24.000 We're good to go?

00:05:41.000 They have a smaller number of cases than we do.

00:05:43.000 They have about 20,000 less cases, but they also have a population that's about one-sixth the size.

00:05:50.000 So if you do the math on that, if we have a similar curve that they do, if we have a similar rate of infected and death rate that they do, then you can expect that our numbers might be six times what theirs are.

00:06:02.000 Right.

00:06:02.000 So we'll look at the numbers, we'll talk about the hospital shortages, we'll talk about the relief package that got passed, and a few other things.

00:06:10.000 And it should be a pretty good show.

00:06:12.000 I'm excited.

00:06:13.000 Hey, I'm more excited that it's Friday.

00:06:15.000 I'm like, thank God it's Friday already.

00:06:19.000 I've been behind this desk and you know normally I love, and I love doing the show, I love to do it, it's fun, I get to talk to you, I get to do my, get to do my thing, get to do my dance, some dance moves, got some dance moves going on there, some, a little bit of a dance move, a little bit of a Friday, hey it's Friday, a little bit of a Friday dance move for you there, a little subtle dance maneuver.

00:06:42.000 I like doing the show, but it is just so fatiguing.

00:06:45.000 It's grueling!

00:06:47.000 And I'm gonna complain every night about it.

00:06:50.000 That normally I do the show and it's taxing enough, but at least you have some variety.

00:06:56.000 At least it's immigration on Monday, and Israel on Tuesday, and war with Iran on Wednesday, you know? 0.87

00:07:04.000 We mix it up.

00:07:05.000 Even on a slow news day we're mixing it up, but for the past 8 weeks!

00:07:11.000 It's like 8 weeks we've been talking about this.

00:07:13.000 Since January 21st, I think was the first show we did about coronavirus.

00:07:19.000 It's like 10 weeks!

00:07:22.000 And it's just every night it's the same I'm like okay here we go whiteboard we got pulling up the BNO tracking and I don't know if you guys are tired of it yet but I'm just like out of my mind and then every night I do this I do the corona thing and then I jump on jaded and shallots stream and we play the same games we play warzone and animal crossing and I'm just like losing track of time I feel like I'm in the bubble I feel like I'm under the dome

00:07:50.000 But that's okay.

00:07:50.000 But I'm tough.

00:07:51.000 But we're all gonna get through it together.

00:07:53.000 We'll have to find something to do to maybe switch it up next week.

00:07:56.000 Some people were saying earlier this week, they were saying, no, no, we like the coronavirus.

00:08:01.000 Not you like the virus, but you like the news.

00:08:04.000 We got to do something to change it up because I'm losing my mind over here.

00:08:08.000 I got to tell you the big problem that I'm realizing now is I'm not going to be able to get a haircut.

00:08:12.000 They shut down all the essential services and I haven't even checked to see if my barber's open, but I'm not taking the chance.

00:08:19.000 My barber's Middle Eastern.

00:08:20.000 I'm not messing with that.

00:08:24.000 So what am I gonna do?

00:08:25.000 I decided I'm gonna grow the corona beard.

00:08:28.000 I'm not gonna shave until this is over and I don't even know if I'll be able to get a haircut until this is over because it's one thing to go to the drive-thru, it's one thing to go to Walmart and you could take some reasonable precautions but you figure you go to your barber and you're up close and personal the whole time and they're literally just

00:08:48.000 On top of you the whole time.

00:08:50.000 Right?

00:08:51.000 In close proximity.

00:08:52.000 Touching your head.

00:08:53.000 Touching your neck.

00:08:54.000 You know, they're touching your hair.

00:08:55.000 And I mean, he doesn't talk much, but I just don't want to take the risk.

00:09:00.000 And then you're sitting on the chair.

00:09:02.000 You've got to touch the chair.

00:09:05.000 You gotta pay in cash, they gotta touch cash, and I just don't know if I'd care to do that right now.

00:09:10.000 So I'm gonna have a bit of a problem.

00:09:12.000 I'm gonna have to find a new long hairstyle.

00:09:15.000 Maybe I'll have to figure out... I looked up the other day, Googled, uh, thick, long hairstyle, because my hair's thick, and it usually looks like shit when it gets long. 0.98

00:09:24.000 So I'm gonna have to figure something out. 0.97

00:09:25.000 What to do with all this?

00:09:27.000 I'm due for a haircut!

00:09:28.000 I should have gotten one like this weekend, but that's not gonna be on the table, so...

00:09:33.000 So we'll figure it out.

00:09:34.000 So we'll figure it out.

00:09:35.000 I'm coping.

00:09:37.000 I'm, you know, I'm figuring it out.

00:09:40.000 I hope you didn't eat meat today.

00:09:42.000 Today's a casual Friday.

00:09:43.000 It's also a Lenten Friday.

00:09:44.000 And I've been remembering, two weeks ago I think I had like a turkey sandwich.

00:09:50.000 Oh, you know, and people flipped out at me.

00:09:53.000 Oh, you had a turkey sandwich.

00:09:55.000 I forgot.

00:09:56.000 Okay, the sandwich was going bad.

00:09:58.000 It had been in the fridge for a week.

00:10:00.000 I paid six dollars for it.

00:10:01.000 I think there's an exception if there's like, you know, extenuating circumstances like that.

00:10:07.000 So I go on the stream on Friday afternoon, two weeks ago, and I say, yeah, I had a turkey sandwich, and people are saying, Nick, Nick, it's Friday, it's a luncheon Friday, and you had a turkey sandwich!

00:10:17.000 I said, oh, I forgot, I didn't even realize, I woke up, I just, you know, it was the first thing I ate, and I said, so I gotta get better.

00:10:24.000 So I gotta be more conscientious about that.

00:10:27.000 So I didn't eat any meat today, hope you're not gonna do that either.

00:10:31.000 I ate all my, got my fill yesterday with the Taco Bell.

00:10:34.000 Maybe I'll have to make a stop at 1am or so.

00:10:37.000 Midnight after Friday expires.

00:10:39.000 But I hope you're playing by the rules!

00:10:41.000 Gotta play by the rules.

00:10:43.000 So, that's what's going on in my neck of the woods.

00:10:46.000 I've been hanging out, I've been vibing.

00:10:48.000 Some good news, why I hesitate to say this, I'll just say very briefly and simply, some good news on the website front.

00:10:55.000 So I know I have been telling you for some time that I've been working on this project.

00:11:00.000 A website that may be an alternative to streaming on DLive.

00:11:05.000 It might be a backup.

00:11:06.000 I haven't really decided the course of where things are going exactly yet.

00:11:10.000 The project, it keeps expanding in scope, which is a good thing.

00:11:14.000 And we have a lot of resources for this.

00:11:17.000 But I will just tell you that I got some very good news today.

00:11:20.000 I was sort of discouraged about the direction of that project because it's a very ambitious thing.

00:11:25.000 And you'll find out the nature of that probably sooner rather than later, but I got some very good news about that today.

00:11:31.000 Some very encouraging signs.

00:11:33.000 So, I can tell you that the America First movement, once this coronavirus stuff ends, you're gonna see the plan really start to take shape.

00:11:43.000 And that's very exciting.

00:11:44.000 Not just the site, but a lot of other things.

00:11:47.000 I can tell you that I am hard at work behind the scenes making a lot of different things happen and they're all kind of interconnected and that makes it difficult because some elements of the project

00:12:00.000 Well, they're all dependent and contingent on other things, so you have to do one thing before you can do other things, and I can explain more about that later on, but lots of big things are happening behind the scenes.

00:12:11.000 I've been telling you, infrastructure, networks, the groundwork is being laid, that's all happening.

00:12:17.000 Rest assured that behind the scenes of all these coronavirus shows, which may seem somewhat boring, at least they are to me, big, big things are happening, and it's all very exciting.

00:12:27.000 I'm very, very

00:12:29.000 optimistic about what's happening with us, with our movement, with the country.

00:12:33.000 I mean, everything's really going well.

00:12:35.000 So, it's gonna be a dark show.

00:12:37.000 The news isn't exactly great today on where we're at with coronavirus, but I just want to give you a little bit of a heads up, and I can't tell you any more details.

00:12:46.000 So, if I see any super chats saying, can you tell us more, so is the website gonna have, so is it?

00:12:52.000 If I hear any more questions about that, I'm gonna get really agitated.

00:12:57.000 I just wanted to give you a little bit of a white pill and say in a completely ambiguous and opaque and simple way that things are going very well behind the scenes.

00:13:08.000 And that's all you need to know for now.

00:13:10.000 So I don't want to hear any, Nick, Nick, Nick, so is it gonna have this and what about this and you should do that and X, Y, and Z. I don't want to hear it.

00:13:17.000 I don't want to hear it!

00:13:18.000 I don't want to hear it!

00:13:19.000 I just want to, you know, give you a little bit of

00:13:22.000 Maybe a little bit of peace of mind or hope or encouragement, but that's all I could do right now.

00:13:27.000 I probably shouldn't have said anything.

00:13:28.000 I hate saying things because I hate to like over promise and under deliver.

00:13:32.000 I hate to say, you know, like we did around Valentine's Day.

00:13:35.000 I said, we're going to have a streaming site ready in a week.

00:13:38.000 And you know, then it was like, oh no, that's like major, major complications and tech problems and delays and things like that.

00:13:45.000 So I'd rather just wait until everything's set and then tell you.

00:13:49.000 But I also just want to say,

00:13:51.000 Things are going well.

00:13:52.000 Just give you a little, little, little sprinkle there of news.

00:13:55.000 But we're gonna dive in.

00:13:57.000 We're gonna get into the, wow, the corona, coronavirus.

00:14:02.000 I can't wait until the day I don't have to say that anymore.

00:14:05.000 Coronavirus.

00:14:06.000 Can we just be done with that?

00:14:07.000 Can we just have something else happen?

00:14:09.000 Can something else, can one of you, well, I was gonna say, can one of you guys do something?

00:14:14.000 Please don't end up on the news, but can we, can we, uh, I don't know, can something else happen?

00:14:20.000 Can we leave our houses now?

00:14:22.000 Can I go eat in the dining room of McDonald's again?

00:14:26.000 Can I go and not have to wash my hands after I handle the bag?

00:14:31.000 Because I'm just like, hello?

00:14:34.000 Is there any news?

00:14:36.000 Nope.

00:14:37.000 But we're gonna jump in.

00:14:38.000 We'll look at our numbers here.

00:14:39.000 The daily routine.

00:14:43.000 The whiteboard... I'll have to get a new whiteboard.

00:14:46.000 Well, I'm gonna... The studio's coming along, so... Forget it.

00:14:49.000 It'll work for now.

00:14:51.000 The problem with this whiteboard is my markers are getting worse, my eraser is getting worse. 0.99

00:14:56.000 This whiteboard is such a pain in the ass, you have no idea, it's like... I can't even begin to tell you some of the, uh... Just annoying things about handling this whiteboard. 0.96

00:15:05.000 It gets warped.

00:15:07.000 Because the studio's cold, the material warps, so now it's like, bent, and like...

00:15:12.000 The eraser doesn't work.

00:15:13.000 Anyway, it's just a lot.

00:15:15.000 I'm having a lot of problems as you can tell, but we're going to jump in here.

00:15:18.000 I will bring down our brightness so you can see, you know, a little bit better.

00:15:23.000 You can see my handwriting there.

00:15:27.000 A little more clearly.

00:15:28.000 We don't have the glare.

00:15:29.000 So we've got our latest numbers from Breaking News Online.

00:15:34.000 Latest coronavirus numbers worldwide.

00:15:36.000 We are up to 586,966 cases.

00:15:36.000 So we're gonna hit 600,000 tomorrow.

00:15:37.000 We hit 500,000 yesterday.

00:15:38.000 We will hit 600,000 tomorrow.

00:15:39.000 And we very well could be up to 700,000 by the time we return from the weekend on Monday.

00:15:56.000 To give you an idea of how fast, how quickly this thing is spreading, and how many people are out there that are sick, how we're discovering new cases.

00:16:05.000 We're gaining 100,000 every other day now, which is pretty spooky.

00:16:10.000 We're up to 105,000 cases in the United States.

00:16:14.000 For the first time, we're the first country, according to the official numbers, to confirm more than 100,000 cases, which is not good.

00:16:26.000 And as I said, we logged close to 20,000 new cases just in the last 24 hours.

00:16:31.000 And you may remember that yesterday we were behind... I'm sorry, we were number one yesterday.

00:16:36.000 We had just become number one.

00:16:38.000 But yesterday we had 85,000, I think, and today it's 105,000.

00:16:40.000 That's a lot of people.

00:16:41.000 Italy is up to 86,500 cases.

00:16:42.000 China up to 81,340.

00:16:42.000 China, by the way, has slipped into third place, you may have noticed.

00:16:55.000 For the first time, Italy is now second for cases and China is number three.

00:17:00.000 Spain is at 65,700.

00:17:01.000 Germany at 47,600.

00:17:01.000 France, 33,000.

00:17:01.000 Iran, 32,300.

00:17:01.000 Switzerland, 11,700.

00:17:02.000 The United Kingdom, 11,700.

00:17:02.000 South Korea, 9,332.

00:17:04.000 And you can see that it's getting really bad even in these other European countries.

00:17:07.000 Netherlands, Belgium, Austria.

00:17:25.000 All between 5 and 10,000.

00:17:28.000 Canada up to 4,000.

00:17:30.000 Turkey and Portugal close to 4,000 each.

00:17:33.000 So this thing is really getting around and this side of the board is getting really bad.

00:17:38.000 You're seeing, you know, the lowest number here is close to 12,000.

00:17:43.000 Second lowest is 32,000.

00:17:45.000 I don't think we would have anticipated that the top seven countries would be looking at more than 30,000 cases.

00:17:49.000 At least

00:17:51.000 You know, it seems implausible if we go back even a month ago, three weeks ago.

00:17:56.000 So the numbers are getting really bad again.

00:17:58.000 The United States is going to be the new epicenter for the virus.

00:18:01.000 Europe is really bad.

00:18:03.000 I mean, obviously, each European country will not surpass the United States, but all the European countries together, if you add all these up, it's astronomical on the European continent.

00:18:14.000 But the United States will be by far the country that's worst off.

00:18:17.000 The single

00:18:19.000 Worst country for the coronavirus, the most cases.

00:18:22.000 And as I've been saying, there is maybe a little bit of a silver lining about this high number for U.S.

00:18:28.000 cases.

00:18:29.000 And the silver lining is that the testing is happening.

00:18:32.000 We have now logged.

00:18:34.000 I'll pull up the latest number here for testing.

00:18:37.000 The United States has now gotten 626,000 tests confirmed.

00:18:44.000 Confirmed or, you know, confirmed for positive or negative.

00:18:48.000 So, we look back at where we were just two or three weeks ago and we had no testing capability to speak of in the United States.

00:18:56.000 I was telling you two, three weeks ago we had tested five people per million

00:19:02.000 We're good to go!

00:19:16.000 I don't know.

00:19:34.000 And how bad the United States was doing with testing.

00:19:37.000 How we needed to close the gap.

00:19:39.000 How we fared compared to South Korea.

00:19:42.000 How we weren't testing as many people per million as South Korea overall.

00:19:47.000 How our testing capabilities were lower than the average for South Korea on a daily basis.

00:19:54.000 Last week we saw 22,000 tests in one day and you know today we're now up to 626,000.

00:19:58.000 That is a pretty rapid increase and I'll also find for you some of the data on the tests per million per state to give you an idea of where we were two weeks ago.

00:20:10.000 Two weeks ago as I said the United States was testing five people for every 1 million people.

00:20:16.000 And Italy was testing 800 people for every 1 million people.

00:20:20.000 And South Korea was testing, I think, thousands for every 1 million people.

00:20:25.000 The United States was 5.

00:20:26.000 That was 2 weeks ago.

00:20:28.000 We are now testing 5,322 per 1 million in New York.

00:20:31.000 We're testing 4,383 per 1 million in the state of Washington.

00:20:34.000 We're testing close to 2,000 per 1 million in Massachusetts.

00:20:45.000 I don't know.

00:21:06.000 As I said, two weeks ago it was five.

00:21:09.000 And now in every state you've got hundreds, and in a lot of states more than a thousand.

00:21:13.000 In New York, more than 5,000 tests per million.

00:21:18.000 And that is really, really incredible when you think about it.

00:21:21.000 And we have to give the President credit.

00:21:22.000 I've seen a lot of people attacking the President over the relief package or because he didn't act quickly enough on the coronavirus, but I think you have to give him a lot, a lot, a lot of credit on this because if you look at every aspect of the government's response to this virus, it has been swift, it has been effective, we've mobilized it quickly and competently.

00:21:46.000 You know, whether you look at the stimulus, which we'll get into, $6.2 trillion stimulus.

00:21:52.000 That's the biggest stimulus by far in history.

00:21:55.000 And that is one week after the, I think that was one week ago, right?

00:22:00.000 The Oval Office statement about social distancing and all of this.

00:22:06.000 Right.

00:22:06.000 I mean, you saw states going to shelter in place last Friday.

00:22:10.000 Maybe I think it was two weeks ago that you had or seven or eight days ago that you had 15 days to stop the spread.

00:22:17.000 The new guidelines were released.

00:22:18.000 I think they were released last Monday.

00:22:20.000 And so we really think about how quickly we ramped up.

00:22:23.000 From a public health point of view and from a financial point of view in response to the crisis.

00:22:30.000 In two weeks we got testing available across the country.

00:22:33.000 Biggest testing capability by far in the world.

00:22:36.000 More tests than any other country has conducted.

00:22:39.000 And if you're looking at the economy, biggest stimulus in history, 6.2 trillion dollars, a direct cash payment to working people, a bailout for a lot of these affected industries, which is not a great thing, but it is necessary, a monetary stimulus, the market's picking back up again, who knows if that's actually a recovery, if that's actually, or if that's a bull trap, we don't really know, but, you know, it seems that investors are reassured at least.

00:23:06.000 We're good to go!

00:23:28.000 It's very admirable.

00:23:29.000 I think the president deserves a lot of credit for that.

00:23:31.000 And of course they never talk about it.

00:23:33.000 Like I said two weeks ago, all they were talking about was the testing capability.

00:23:37.000 And now that that has been solved a hundred times over, now nobody wants to talk about it.

00:23:43.000 You actually have to search and scour the internet for resources on

00:23:47.000 How many tests are being conducted?

00:23:49.000 If this was the Obama administration, they would be, you know, this guy would go down as an angel or a saint or something like that, you know.

00:23:57.000 600,000 tests in eight days!

00:24:01.000 The miraculous turnaround!

00:24:03.000 Six trillion dollars!

00:24:04.000 He saved us, you know, but because it's Trump, they're giving him sort of this even-handed, reluctantly, begrudgingly praising him.

00:24:11.000 But, um, so, the numbers are getting very, very bad, but there is a silver lining.

00:24:16.000 That year,

00:24:17.000 Getting 20,000 confirmed cases, while it's bad, the first step to solving the coronavirus crisis, obviously, at least with this seasonal cycle of it, is of course to test everybody, confirm the people that have it, and then quarantine them.

00:24:34.000 So, in as bad as it is to see how much the virus is transmitted, we need that information as quickly as possible so that we can treat those people, quarantine them,

00:24:46.000 And so insofar as 20,000 people are being added to the list in 24 hours, in a way that's a good thing because it's a testament to the fact that the testing is being conducted, it is effective, and we're getting those people in hospitals, we're getting them off the streets, they're getting treatment, or they're being quarantined.

00:25:01.000 So...

00:25:03.000 Kind of good.

00:25:03.000 The not-so-good numbers are the deaths, though, I will say.

00:25:07.000 You add 20,000 new cases in the United States, but the other dramatic increases are in deaths in Italy and in Spain.

00:25:15.000 In Italy, you're nearing 10,000 deaths.

00:25:16.000 They're at 9,100.

00:25:16.000 They added 1,000 deaths in just the last 24 hours.

00:25:23.000 We're good to go!

00:25:51.000 And this is how it happened in Italy.

00:25:53.000 First you had the epidemic, right, which is it spread all across the country.

00:25:58.000 And then the next stage was the shutdown and the reaction.

00:26:01.000 And then the next phase, I guess you could say, the next element of the crisis will be the shortages with the hospitals and the build-up of dead people.

00:26:11.000 That seems to be how it evolves.

00:26:13.000 And obviously all these things are sort of happening concurrently.

00:26:16.000 It's not to say that it's perfectly chronological-like.

00:26:19.000 You know, first the disease spreads, and then the government responds, and then people start dying.

00:26:24.000 It's really more like these things all happen concurrently, but the priority, maybe, or what you need to respond to evolves as time goes on.

00:26:34.000 You know, for in the United States, as an example, the virus has been spreading for a long time.

00:26:39.000 It's only been in the last two weeks that we've really gotten a hold on that, and done the testing, and saved the economy, and put everybody on lockdown.

00:26:47.000 Okay, so that's taken care of.

00:26:49.000 Everybody's on lockdown.

00:26:50.000 The testing is under control.

00:26:52.000 We are self... what is the word?

00:26:55.000 We're social distancing.

00:26:56.000 We're self-quarantining.

00:26:58.000 And now the next part that we're going to have to cope with, the next new challenge, the next phase, will be, okay, our hospitals are overflowing. 0.93

00:27:06.000 We don't have enough beds.

00:27:07.000 We don't have enough ventilators.

00:27:09.000 We don't have enough people to treat them.

00:27:11.000 We're good to go!

00:27:30.000 Now, we don't know when that is.

00:27:31.000 I don't mean to say, okay, and then we're good.

00:27:33.000 I mean, we're not going to be good and we're not going to be out of the woods here for a long time, but that seems to me what a full cycle looks like.

00:27:42.000 Right?

00:27:42.000 Which is to say, the spread, the reaction,

00:27:46.000 I don't know.

00:28:01.000 Then hospitals are less overwhelmed and it seems like then we've entered a period where we've got it under control.

00:28:07.000 But that's a ways away.

00:28:09.000 That's months away.

00:28:10.000 And April is going to be like a bloodbath.

00:28:13.000 If you have 100,000 people dead in the United States, you're going to have thousands of people dying.

00:28:17.000 You're going to have hospitals.

00:28:18.000 Our health care system is not built

00:28:21.000 To treat hundreds of thousands of people with a severe respiratory virus that has no known treatment and has no known cure or vaccine.

00:28:31.000 It's just not built for that because people that are sick, they can be sick for a long time and they require a lot of them intensive care.

00:28:38.000 And they require things like ventilators, which requires the FDA to approve them.

00:28:43.000 You know, one of the big problems with respirators and ventilators and a lot of the technology that you need or the resources that you need to treat and to prevent these diseases is that they are subject to regulations by the government.

00:28:57.000 So in order to produce these things, it's not like General Motors can just spin them up on any given day normally.

00:29:05.000 You need to get approval from a regulatory agency and that's why you can't ramp that up as quickly as you can.

00:29:12.000 The good thing is the president's cutting a lot of the red tape so maybe that'll happen more quickly than it otherwise would have.

00:29:18.000 But that seems to be the next phase.

00:29:20.000 So these are our numbers but we'll dive into some other aspects here as well.

00:29:26.000 We'll talk about the relief package.

00:29:27.000 We'll get more into the ventilator problem.

00:29:32.000 We'll talk first about the relief package and

00:29:35.000 What that means for us.

00:29:36.000 What does that mean for our neets?

00:29:38.000 What does that mean for our wagees?

00:29:40.000 Who's gonna get a check?

00:29:41.000 Who's gonna get their their Trump bucks?

00:29:43.000 We'll dive into that.

00:29:44.000 I'll read you a report on this from the New York Times.

00:29:48.000 And the latest is that it has been passed into law.

00:29:51.000 So that means you can start your timer, right?

00:29:55.000 You can look at your calendar and probably expect a check in three weeks.

00:30:00.000 So this is from the Times.

00:30:01.000 It says, quote, President Trump on Friday signed into law the largest economic stimulus package in modern American history, backing a $2 trillion measure designed to respond to the coronavirus pandemic.

00:30:14.000 Under the law, the government will deliver direct payments and jobless benefits for individuals, money for states, and a huge bailout for businesses battered by the crisis.

00:30:24.000 Mr. Trump signed the measure in the Oval Office hours after the House approved it by voice vote and less than two days after the Senate unanimously passed it.

00:30:34.000 The legislation will send direct payments of $1,200 to millions of Americans, including those earning up to $75,000.

00:30:42.000 an additional $500 per child so if you made according to your 2018 tax returns if you made up to 25 I'm sorry if you made up to $75,000 on those or rather your your tax returns I guess from 2019 the income you made in 2018 if you made up to $75,000 you're gonna get a check of $1,200 and $500 per child and

00:31:10.000 Steve Mnuchin said that that will be paid out within three weeks.

00:31:14.000 Three weeks of the passage of the bill, after the passage of the bill.

00:31:17.000 So we can expect that by, I don't have my calendar for April up yet, so I guess that would be what, April 17th?

00:31:24.000 Does that sound right?

00:31:26.000 Yeah, by April 17th, hopefully we'll, all of us 75,000 and under for 2018, we will have our checks in the mail for $1,200, and $500 per child if you got a big family.

00:31:40.000 Do you think I count as a gig worker?

00:31:42.000 Do you think I count as a freelancer?

00:31:43.000 I'll have to look into that.

00:31:44.000 I got laid off by my boss at America First.

00:31:46.000 I have to take less hours at America First Enterprise.

00:32:10.000 Maybe I'll apply for unemployment or jobless aid.

00:32:15.000 I mean, I've been affected by the coronavirus in some ways, I guess, right?

00:32:21.000 I'm a freelancer.

00:32:22.000 I'm a gig worker.

00:32:23.000 I work a gig.

00:32:25.000 This is my gig.

00:32:26.000 I forgot to put our brightness back to where it needs to be.

00:32:31.000 Okay, there we go.

00:32:33.000 I have a pretty sick gig on DLive.

00:32:35.000 Where's my $600 a week for my jobless benefit?

00:32:40.000 The measure will also offer $377 billion in federally guaranteed loans to small businesses and establish a $500 billion government lending program for distressed companies reeling from the crisis, including allowing the administration the ability to take equity stakes in airlines that received aid to help compensate taxpayers.

00:33:03.000 It will also send $100 billion to hospitals on the front lines of the pandemic.

00:33:08.000 So we finally, finally, finally have gotten this bill passed.

00:33:15.000 And as we've been talking about for the past few weeks, this is the third phase of the relief if you've been following it closely.

00:33:23.000 We had phase one a couple weeks ago and phase one was free testing and that was paid sick leave and a few other things.

00:33:30.000 The second bill was an expansion largely of the first phase.

00:33:34.000 Phase two was a hundred and some billion dollars and they added on to the first one.

00:33:40.000 This was phase 3 and phase 3 included that 2.1 I'm sorry 2.2 trillion dollars which includes the direct cash payments, the bailout for the affected industries, the jobless benefits, the extension, the enhancement

00:33:55.000 Right.

00:33:56.000 And then it also included the $100 billion for hospitals.

00:34:00.000 That's the fiscal aspect of it.

00:34:02.000 That's phase three is the fiscal part, the $2.2 trillion as well as $4 trillion in monetary stimulus.

00:34:10.000 Which will come through the Federal Reserve.

00:34:12.000 That was a part of it.

00:34:13.000 So you put the $4 trillion in liquidity from the Federal Reserve together with the $2.2 trillion in fiscal stimulus with this Phase 3 relief package.

00:34:23.000 And that is the total $6.2 trillion.

00:34:26.000 This is the major relief that was passed today.

00:34:29.000 But they're saying that they're working on potentially a fourth and a fifth

00:34:33.000 We're good to go!

00:34:57.000 Our daily number of cases, we'll be looking at phase 4 or 5 on the relief package and I'm sure another news conference and Dr. Fauci and all that.

00:35:07.000 So the saga goes on, but this is very good.

00:35:10.000 This relief package, in a lot of ways this relief package is bad and people have been showing me a lot of bad things in the bill.

00:35:17.000 For example, the bill gives hundreds of millions of dollars for refugee and migrant programs.

00:35:23.000 It gives $25 million for the Kennedy Center and

00:35:26.000 There's a lot of waste in there.

00:35:28.000 There's a lot of pork in the bill.

00:35:29.000 Do you know what pork is?

00:35:32.000 Pork is when you work out an appropriations bill in the House of Representatives and the way that the two parties are able to come to an agreement or the way that a sponsor of a bill is going to gain support for his bill

00:35:46.000 Is they will put in certain things for the other party or for even members of their own party to get them to vote for it.

00:35:53.000 So, for example, the Democrats came to the negotiating table and they said, look, you need to save the country right now.

00:36:01.000 You have your guy in the White House and he is going to succeed insofar as he can pass a major fiscal stimulus.

00:36:09.000 Well, we don't want to give them a political win unless we get something out of it too.

00:36:13.000 So what we want is money for the refugees and what we want is money for the Kennedy Center and X, Y, and Z. And that's simply how it works. 0.72

00:36:21.000 And a lot of people are bent out of shape about the fact that it's a huge bailout for Wall Street, which I said that yesterday, and the cash payments are not very good, and there's problems in the bill, that it gives money to things that are bad, and there's extra money for other people.

00:36:36.000 But, you know, honestly,

00:36:38.000 The priority with a bill like this is speed.

00:36:43.000 It's not a question of can we make the perfect bill.

00:36:47.000 Frankly, it's not even so much, can we make a great bill?

00:36:51.000 It's, can we make an adequate bill?

00:36:53.000 Can we make a bill as quickly as possible, and what can we get in there as quickly as possible?

00:36:58.000 Because understand, the economic fallout, at least from the coronavirus, is immediate, and it's hard, and it's hard on working people.

00:37:09.000 This is a very different crisis than other crises.

00:37:12.000 You look at how many people filed for unemployment last week.

00:37:17.000 Go and take a look at what that graph looks like.

00:37:19.000 3.3 million jobless claims yesterday.

00:37:22.000 If you look at the graph, it's like...

00:37:25.000 For 20 years, a flat line, and then it goes up vertically 100 feet.

00:37:29.000 I mean, that's... There was like an unprecedented record of jobless claims that we haven't seen since the Great Depression, that we haven't seen in a very, very long time.

00:37:40.000 And the fallout from the coronavirus economically is not even like it was in 2008, where banks and insurance companies and major companies are collapsing in the stock market.

00:37:50.000 It's sort of like a very complicated financial problem.

00:37:54.000 It's like people can't pay their bills because they can't work, because the places that they work aren't getting revenue, because everybody's been ordered to stay in their houses.

00:38:03.000 You know, everybody knows that, but think about the very direct and immediate economic effect of suddenly 3.3 million people aren't getting a paycheck, and suddenly 3.3 million people aren't going to be able to pay their bills in the next three weeks.

00:38:17.000 And so when you're approaching this problem, this economic problem, and that's what it is when you're looking at it from a fiscal point of view, is this is an economic problem.

00:38:26.000 When you're looking at that, what you have to do is get the money out as quickly as possible.

00:38:31.000 And you're talking about cash payments.

00:38:33.000 For example, the president was talking about doing a payroll tax cut.

00:38:37.000 And he talked about that for a long time a couple weeks ago until he learned, and we all learned, that the effect of a payroll tax cut would not

00:38:45.000 You would not see the impact of that on the economy for six to eight months.

00:38:50.000 And we don't have six to eight months to provide relief and stimulus to the economy.

00:38:55.000 We have a matter of maybe one month.

00:38:58.000 And so Steve Mnuchin said we could get these checks out in three weeks as long as we pass the bill.

00:39:02.000 And so Democrats understand that.

00:39:04.000 They understand the urgency.

00:39:05.000 They understand the speed that is required. 0.98

00:39:08.000 They're not idiots. 0.96

00:39:09.000 And they know that they could basically, within reason, ask for whatever concession they want. 0.98

00:39:13.000 They can't make it too big or too obnoxious because if they did then the Republicans would object and it wouldn't be a great look.

00:39:20.000 We're good to go!

00:39:40.000 It's a very short window of time.

00:39:42.000 So a lot of people are looking at this stimulus and they're saying, well, this is not ideal.

00:39:46.000 This is not perfect.

00:39:48.000 There's $300 million for this in there.

00:39:51.000 But to me, that's the wrong way to look at it.

00:39:53.000 Not like I'm a fan of those things.

00:39:55.000 I'm not a fan of the unnecessary spending or the voice vote on a $2 trillion bill.

00:40:01.000 And I don't love... I talked about this yesterday.

00:40:04.000 I don't love that Wall Street got way too much and the working middle class got way too little.

00:40:10.000 I'm not in love with the bill.

00:40:11.000 I don't like the bill.

00:40:12.000 But I also understand that there are other considerations here.

00:40:16.000 And it's kind of a miracle that this even happened.

00:40:19.000 Because you think about how we've been in Congress for years.

00:40:23.000 And we can't get anything done.

00:40:24.000 Think about all the government shutdowns.

00:40:26.000 Think about all the last-minute appropriations bills that have had to have been signed at the 11th hour before the government runs out of money and shuts down.

00:40:34.000 Think about that, right?

00:40:35.000 Or even last year they had to move the State of the Union ahead a week because the government was shut down for four weeks.

00:40:42.000 So when I think about how Congress is, and the nature of politics, and the nature of the game these days with this administration, it's kind of a miracle that we got something as good as we did.

00:40:52.000 That we got something this far-reaching, this dramatic, with the cash payments.

00:40:58.000 And again, I'm not saying that that's a great bill and it's terrific and perfect or anything like that, but you have to kind of have a glass half-full approach here, and you kind of have to keep in mind there are a lot of constraints and considerations, maybe chief among them, that the president is not the one that writes the bill.

00:41:16.000 That's maybe the biggest consideration that you have to keep in mind, which is a lot of people look at the relief and they say, oh, this is the president's relief.

00:41:25.000 And maybe you know this, maybe you don't.

00:41:28.000 Some people might consider it common sense.

00:41:30.000 Some people consider this technical.

00:41:32.000 But the House of Representatives has the power of the purse.

00:41:36.000 All appropriations bills have to originate in the House of Representatives.

00:41:41.000 And Nancy Pelosi controls the House of Representatives. 1.00

00:41:43.000 And then it goes to the Senate and they work out a version of the bill.

00:41:47.000 And then the President signs it.

00:41:48.000 So, surely the administration gives guidance on the stimulus, the administration gives guidance on the budget, and on appropriations, and on a lot of different legislative efforts.

00:41:59.000 But fundamentally, a stimulus package is the responsibility of the Congress.

00:42:03.000 It legally has to originate in the House, which is a Democrat-controlled organ of the government.

00:42:08.000 So, with all that in mind, this is, number one, primarily the doing of the Congress.

00:42:14.000 And the president had a lot of say in that and a lot of push and all that, but the president has said for weeks, we need more than $1,200 and we need a big and dramatic stimulus and so on.

00:42:24.000 Well that's really the best that he could do is say, well this is what I want and this is what I'm pushing for, and he can push the Republican caucus and he can push the Democrats, but legally that's really all he can do is push.

00:42:36.000 What is he going to say?

00:42:37.000 I'm going to veto this $6 trillion stimulus because the cash payment needs to be $300 more, and the Congress would call his bluff.

00:42:45.000 This is just the way the system works.

00:42:46.000 And I don't love that that's the case, and I don't love the bill, but I think people need to keep in mind that all things considered, a rapid... You're talking about a timeline of a week and a half that we put together a $6 trillion stimulus with direct cash payments.

00:43:03.000 All things considered, that is a pretty admirable accomplishment.

00:43:06.000 So, there are things that I don't like about the bill, there are things that I like about the bill, but overall, I think the biggest priority about this relief package was the expediency, the urgency that we got it through as fast as possible, and it was providing that wide variety of relief.

00:43:24.000 cash payments some bailouts certainly were necessary of certain industries and the liquidity and for the hospitals a lot of that was necessary all of that was touched on so I think it's a good bill

00:43:38.000 And if we have any problems with that we'll have more bills coming down the pike anyway you know fourth and fifth and this thing's not over anytime soon but with this one it was speed and scope and we accomplished both of those things.

00:43:49.000 So that's the relief bill we're gonna move on to talk about the shortages though this is maybe a rough patch.

00:43:57.000 If I have a lot of positive things to say about the testing and the relief, the shortages are going to be the next big problem.

00:44:05.000 This is from the New York Times.

00:44:06.000 It says, quote, and I know I've been quoting the New York Times extensively over the past week.

00:44:13.000 I just paid for a subscription the other week.

00:44:16.000 I know I resisted it for a long time.

00:44:18.000 I didn't want to do it because I hate giving the media money.

00:44:23.000 But it's like $1 a week and we needed it to cover the primaries because the New York Times is offering really good primary coverage and also I figure

00:44:35.000 Like, it's just me paying it.

00:44:37.000 I know people are going to say, you're giving money to your enemy, you're giving money to the media, but it's like a dollar a month is not going to make or break the New York Times, right?

00:44:47.000 Or the country, or even me.

00:44:49.000 It's one dollar a week, you know?

00:44:51.000 And on principle, I objected for a long time and I said, I'm not going to subscribe.

00:44:56.000 But then I was like, you know what?

00:44:57.000 Like, they have a really good coverage of the coronavirus.

00:45:00.000 Every day they've got a really clean UI.

00:45:03.000 We've got a really clean

00:45:05.000 Like, uh, updates every day, little paragraph.

00:45:08.000 And the primary coverage has been good, so I've just been exploiting that, so.

00:45:12.000 I hope I don't get any conspiracy theorists out there.

00:45:15.000 I'm sort of anticipating that, who are gonna say, Gee, every source Nick's cited for the past two weeks has been New York Times.

00:45:22.000 Is he getting paid by Jeff Bezos?

00:45:24.000 No, it's just convenient I have it bookmarked.

00:45:27.000 I paid a dollar for it, so I might as well use it, right?

00:45:31.000 Just want to get that out of the way.

00:45:32.000 If you're scratching your head wondering, why does he keep citing the New York Times?

00:45:36.000 But this is the report on the shortages.

00:45:38.000 It says, quote, officials in nearly 200 U.S.

00:45:41.000 cities, large and small, report a dire need for face masks, ventilators, and other emergency equipment to respond to the coronavirus outbreak.

00:45:50.000 The United States Conference of Mayors questioned officials in 213 municipalities

00:45:56.000 and found serious shortages that underscore the scope and severity of the crisis more than 90 percent or 192 cities said that they did not have an adequate supply of face masks for police officers firefighters and emergency workers excuse me in addition 92 percent of cities reported a shortage of test kits in 80

00:46:20.000 This is pretty bad.

00:46:21.000 This is like almost every city in this conference of mayors

00:46:35.000 We're good to go!

00:46:52.000 It says roughly two-thirds of the cities said they had not received any emergency equipment or supplies from their state.

00:46:59.000 And of those that did receive state aid, nearly 85% said it was not enough to meet their needs.

00:47:05.000 In total, the conference tabulated that cities need 28.5 million face masks, 24.4 million other items of personal protection equipment, 7.9 million test kits, and 139,000 ventilators.

00:47:23.000 And this is sort of the foreshadowing for what we're going to see in the coming weeks.

00:47:28.000 We looked at the numbers a moment ago with Italy, and there are up to 10,000 people dead.

00:47:33.000 And just a couple of weeks ago we heard rumors about, or reports rather, about hospitals having to decide who gets care and who doesn't, and elderly basically being left to die, and shortages of hospital beds.

00:47:45.000 This is what's going to happen in virtually every American city in the coming weeks, and we have to prepare for that.

00:47:51.000 People think that, well, maybe the worst is over as far as the transmission goes or the testing, but maybe the worst part of the pandemic is just on the horizon, and that's going to be the body count.

00:48:02.000 That's going to be the overwhelming of the health care resources.

00:48:05.000 And that's the next big challenge to face.

00:48:07.000 The good news is today the President took some action that might alleviate that.

00:48:12.000 This is further on in the same report.

00:48:14.000 It says, on Friday afternoon, President Trump said that he had directed his administration to use any and all authority available under the Defense Production Act to require General Motors to accept, perform, and prioritize federal contracts for ventilators.

00:48:29.000 He said quote our negotiations with GM regarding its ability to supply ventilators had been productive but our fight against the virus is too urgent to allow the give-and-take of the contracting process to continue to run its normal course.

00:48:43.000 GM was wasting time.

00:48:45.000 Today's action will help ensure the quick production of ventilators that will save American lives.

00:48:50.000 So the good news is a lot of industries are stepping up.

00:48:54.000 Tesla said they would start making masks.

00:48:57.000 I think MyPillow said they were going to start making masks.

00:49:00.000 A lot of different companies are stepping up in given states.

00:49:04.000 And now General Motors is being ordered by the government to prioritize their contracts for the masks.

00:49:09.000 And so it looks like we're on top of this one too.

00:49:12.000 I have to tell you that

00:49:14.000 Every step of the way it seems almost like we're avoiding the worst case scenario because as the situation develops the president responds and mobilizes as quickly as possible and does everything that we need to do, right?

00:49:27.000 When it was the testing the president was out there with Google and with Roche and with some laboratory company

00:49:34.000 And they said, we've got a plan.

00:49:37.000 We've streamlined the testing.

00:49:38.000 We've figured out automatic testing.

00:49:40.000 We've figured out a survey.

00:49:41.000 We're going to build drive-thru testing in Walmart parking lots, right?

00:49:44.000 Now you have 600,000 tests.

00:49:47.000 And when the economy crashed, the president got together with the major industries and got together with Congress and said, $6 trillion.

00:49:55.000 Yes, we are.

00:50:11.000 And other companies are going to produce face masks and respirators and other protective equipment.

00:50:16.000 So it seems like almost as we see hospital shortages of resources increase, we are going to ramp up production on a similar track.

00:50:25.000 So on the one hand, you've got this very, very severe challenge, which is going to be literally life and death in April.

00:50:34.000 But at the same time, it seems like the president is mobilizing every available resource.

00:50:39.000 And it's really incredible to see.

00:50:40.000 I have to say, this response has vindicated the fact that this guy's a good president, right?

00:50:46.000 And I said that the other week.

00:50:48.000 Maybe lost in all the shuffle is the idea that if we had literally anybody else at the helm, this would be an unmitigated disaster.

00:50:55.000 And this is a disaster, but it would have been unmitigated if we had Hillary Clinton or, like, literally anybody else at the helm, right?

00:51:03.000 And if you think about what comes down to the most important function of the president, that's to keep his people safe.

00:51:08.000 He's the chief law enforcement officer.

00:51:10.000 He's the head of state, the protector of the country.

00:51:14.000 Maybe that sounds too paternalistic for some, but that's what he is.

00:51:17.000 He's the national leader.

00:51:19.000 And in a time like this, I don't think you could really have a better president.

00:51:22.000 If he had anybody else, it would have been more people dying.

00:51:25.000 And think about that.

00:51:26.000 Your vote for who becomes the president, a lot of people might think,

00:51:30.000 It doesn't matter.

00:51:32.000 Or, if I don't agree with them on policy, then it doesn't matter who wins, if one's a little bit better than the other.

00:51:37.000 But think about it this way.

00:51:38.000 If it was somebody else, many, many, many more people would have died.

00:51:42.000 Thousands more people would have died.

00:51:44.000 You might have died.

00:51:44.000 Your parents might have died.

00:51:45.000 Your grandparents, right?

00:51:47.000 If it was somebody else.

00:51:48.000 And so I see this effort that's been underway and we have to give the guy credit.

00:51:52.000 Gotta give the White House credit.

00:51:53.000 It's been miraculous.

00:51:55.000 And I think it's also a testament to the resilience of our country.

00:51:59.000 In a lot of ways the virus is showing the vulnerabilities of the country, but in other ways it's showing the resilience of the country.

00:52:06.000 That we have great industry.

00:52:08.000 Still, even though we've been de-industrializing for 30 years, you still have enough manufacturing and philanthropy and

00:52:16.000 I don't want to be too optimistic just yet because we have yet to be tested on this and by tested I mean

00:52:38.000 We've yet to meet the challenge that's still on the horizon it's still coming down the road but I I think that I'm very confident about where we are looking at everything that I've been seeing over the past two months or seeing everything that I've seen in the past few months

00:52:54.000 We're good to go!

00:53:13.000 And I'm optimistic about where we're headed.

00:53:15.000 I'm cautiously optimistic given some of what's happening here.

00:53:19.000 But that being said, even if we have the optimal response to this, you're still going to have thousands dead.

00:53:25.000 People have to kind of get prepared for that, maybe mentally.

00:53:31.000 We're good to go!

00:53:50.000 Seeing what's happening in Italy, it doesn't seem like we're going to breach 50,000 deaths.

00:53:54.000 That's where we are now.

00:53:55.000 Who knows what it's going to look like coming down the line, but I almost feel like, based on what I've been hearing and seeing, that the worst-case scenario has been completely avoided.

00:54:05.000 That's my intuition, and we'll see how it pans out, but my gut feeling, just based on everything I've been reading and hearing over the past few months and as I've seen the situation evolve,

00:54:16.000 It seems like the worst case scenario that we were talking about three weeks ago has been decidedly averted.

00:54:23.000 Because three or four weeks ago they were talking about 80% of the population gets the virus and like millions of people die.

00:54:31.000 And the numbers are getting bad, frankly.

00:54:33.000 100,000 cases is nothing to sneeze at.

00:54:36.000 But the number of new cases in Italy appear to be stabilizing a little bit.

00:54:40.000 And they've got 10,000 dead, which is tragic.

00:54:43.000 But if our numbers begin to stabilize and we're able to treat a lot of people, then a million seems like it's out of the question at this point.

00:54:50.000 But who knows?

00:54:52.000 I mean, we'll have to wait and see how it goes.

00:54:53.000 But my intuition says that this president, because of his leadership, we might have averted the worst worst case scenario.

00:55:01.000 Doesn't mean it's not going to be bad, but it doesn't seem to me that it'll be as catastrophic as it may otherwise could have been.

00:55:08.000 So that's where we're at right now.

00:55:09.000 We're going to keep an eye on all that.

00:55:12.000 More of the same.

00:55:13.000 The name of the game now is ventilators and respirators.

00:55:16.000 That's what we are looking out for.

00:55:17.000 And the respirators are, from what I understand, the respirators are the masks.

00:55:22.000 They are a particular mask that deals with small particles.

00:55:27.000 They use the respirators for construction.

00:55:29.000 They use them for

00:55:31.000 There's a medical application for those obviously and the reason that you use the respirator as opposed to a surgical mask or a cloth mask is the respirator seals with your face and you breathe through it and it filters out all particles.

00:55:47.000 Whereas if you have a face mask you know if you've got particles or droplets rather in the air and you're breathing I guess they find a way around or through

00:55:56.000 The fabric through that that you know whatever the membrane of that but the respirator blocks it and you need that for medical personnel you need that for firefighters police people that need to do their jobs when they're dealing with sick people and they can't get sick right and then the ventilators are pumping oxygen I mean they're they're essentially breathing for people that cannot breathe once somebody gets in the hospital I just a clarification if you're not following the terminology the ventilator from what I understand

00:56:25.000 If you have a severe case of the coronavirus and you're struggling to breathe, the ventilator does the work of the breathing for you.

00:56:30.000 It pumps oxygen into your lungs, it takes out the carbon dioxide, and that's required in severe, severe cases when you have people that are, I mean, from what I hear, even healthy people, the struggle to breathe is really, really intense if you have a severe case of the virus.

00:56:47.000 And correct me if I'm wrong.

00:56:51.000 That's how I've been using the words.

00:56:52.000 I hope I'm getting those right.

00:56:53.000 Right, that's the respirator.

00:56:59.000 Right, and that is the vent line.

00:57:01.000 I'm just going to double check.

00:57:03.000 I don't look it up, but I'm like 99% sure that's what it is.

00:57:07.000 So there you go.

00:57:09.000 That's your terminology.

00:57:10.000 Those are going to be the two key words as this situation unfolds over the weeks is looking at the ventilators, respirators, masks, and just even surgical masks for the general public and for everybody else.

00:57:22.000 Hospital beds, things like that.

00:57:24.000 That's the next phase is now everybody's

00:57:27.000 Getting tested, they're getting confirmed, and then they're getting treated.

00:57:29.000 They're getting put in hospitals.

00:57:31.000 Hospitals are filling up.

00:57:33.000 Resources are being utilized.

00:57:35.000 And, uh, that'll be the next big challenge.

00:57:38.000 But, we're gonna move on and take a look at the Super Chats.

00:57:40.000 We'll see what you guys are saying about all this.

00:57:44.000 All this stuff.

00:57:46.000 More of the same!

00:57:47.000 More of the same.

00:57:50.000 Let me, uh, let me take a little sip of water here.

00:57:53.000 My mouth is getting a little dry.

00:57:55.000 We'll take a little sip and then we'll dive in here.

00:57:58.000 I see we're having some trouble with the mods again in the live chat, you know.

00:58:04.000 So, so it goes, right?

00:58:11.000 Sip?

00:58:12.000 People are saying in chat, sip?

00:58:16.000 sip streaming is so ridiculous you know i'm doing this show it's like oh i'm gonna take a sip of water a hundred people in chat sip sip drink department hello hello sip department sip check right like i don't know there's just something uh sib something funny about that i don't know why slurp sip

00:58:43.000 I don't know.

00:58:43.000 I don't know what compels people to watch the show and then literally just like... Something to that effect, right?

00:58:51.000 Just like needless, like, commentary.

00:58:54.000 Sip.

00:58:55.000 Why?

00:58:56.000 Why?

00:58:56.000 I don't understand.

00:58:57.000 Why?

00:58:58.000 You know, I'll be doing the show.

00:59:00.000 I'll like cough.

00:59:00.000 Everybody in chat.

00:59:01.000 Cough?

00:59:02.000 Cough department?

00:59:03.000 Cough, right?

00:59:04.000 Hydration.

00:59:06.000 Somebody put some chat hydration.

00:59:09.000 I'm gonna get in for another slip here.

00:59:11.000 Or another sip.

00:59:18.000 It's awkward with a show like this because there's nothing else to do.

00:59:22.000 Normally in literally any other show that exists...

00:59:26.000 You have, like, guests, or you have graphics, you have a video, a transition, something that you could play, so it's like, okay, you know, I can blow my nose, get a sip of water, take a piss, you know?

00:59:37.000 Like, you watch some of these radio shows, and it's like five minutes of content, and then three minutes of commercial, and then ten minutes of content, and then five minutes of commercial, and this show, it's just like three hours, and it's just literally me behind the desk, right?

00:59:48.000 I'm the only dynamic element on the screen.

00:59:52.000 So... Yeah, Marco Rubio check.

00:59:55.000 All right, all right.

00:59:56.000 We're gonna dive into the Super Chats though. 0.91

00:59:58.000 We'll see.

01:00:00.000 Michael says, capping off the birthday with another great show.

01:00:03.000 Well, thanks, buddy.

01:00:04.000 Happy birthday.

01:00:05.000 Happy birthday.

01:00:06.000 Hope you have a good birthday, pal.

01:00:09.000 Seek says, Nick owns at least one Beretta for sure.

01:00:13.000 I'm not gonna comment on my Arsenal.

01:00:15.000 I don't know why that's anybody's business.

01:00:17.000 Justin says, Uncle died today.

01:00:19.000 Smoking caught up to him.

01:00:20.000 Big F. Hey, sorry to hear that, man. 0.99

01:00:22.000 That really sucks. 0.98

01:00:25.000 Big F in chat for Justin KG and his uncle. 0.99

01:00:29.000 I am very, very sorry to hear that.

01:00:32.000 That's not fun, right?

01:00:36.000 But that's what happens with the smoking, right?

01:00:38.000 That's why I never smoke, right?

01:00:41.000 Let that be a lesson.

01:00:42.000 I know it's not, you know...

01:00:44.000 That's not like it's not common knowledge but I see that all the time people are out there smoking cigarettes and I'm thinking what are you did you not pay attention in like grade school and they told you about and some people say with cigarettes it'll like builds up your tea or something I mean I guess that's true but why don't you just eat cabbage why don't you just do red light therapy or something you know why do you need to do something that'll destroy your lungs but sorry to hear that my friend praying for you hope you're doing okay let me know if you need anything I know we're connected on discord there

01:01:15.000 We're good to go.

01:01:32.000 I'm not I'm not one to dish out so many compliments and especially not inauthentic comments or insincere comments rather but I met this Justin guy and I saw him at the National File event and then he was at the Harry's bar and you know he's just just such a cheerful just like a good energy you could tell these are good people you can tell right away and you all know what I'm talking about you get a sense just on people's demeanor and by their expression and physiognomy to an extent and how they talk

01:02:01.000 And Justin, and I met so many people.

01:02:03.000 Shallot, Zoomer, Hedge, who else?

01:02:06.000 Zoomer, Nat, all the different Groyper guys.

01:02:10.000 Just all really remarkable people.

01:02:13.000 Nice person.

01:02:14.000 That's how it goes.

01:02:14.000 I guess everybody has a day like that.

01:02:17.000 Sorry to hear that, man.

01:02:18.000 Hope you're doing okay.

01:02:20.000 Cuboid says Wuhan virus spread linked to cuboid conjuring.

01:02:25.000 I don't know.

01:02:26.000 I don't know.

01:02:26.000 The cuboids must not be pleased with the virus because it is seriously challenging them.

01:02:32.000 It's seriously threatening their precarious hold on world affairs.

01:02:39.000 Dallas Groyper says, sorry about your uncle, Justin KG.

01:02:42.000 Prayers up.

01:02:43.000 Yeah, definitely.

01:02:44.000 Racist Incels says, great show tonight.

01:02:46.000 Powerful monologue.

01:02:48.000 Thanks a lot.

01:02:50.000 Okay, can our mods like... I don't know what's going on with the mods.

01:02:53.000 Are the mods being too intense?

01:02:55.000 Or is the chat being unruly?

01:02:57.000 I don't understand.

01:02:58.000 I can't... I don't watch the chat, so I have no idea if the mods are going crazy, if they're over modding, or if the chat is just daring them.

01:03:07.000 I have no idea, but I just hope the moderators will exercise some good judgment.

01:03:13.000 I'll have to put some rules.

01:03:14.000 I'll work on it this weekend.

01:03:16.000 Maybe I'll draft chat rules.

01:03:18.000 Some guidelines for the moderators, that way everybody's on the same page.

01:03:22.000 Because I think the problem is there's a disconnect between what I think is appropriate, what the moderators think is appropriate, and what the chat thinks is appropriate.

01:03:31.000 Because you have people in the chat that'll be like, oh, I said this one thing and I got a permanent timeout, you know, and I didn't know or...

01:03:39.000 It's something that the moderator over, you know, maybe they're over enforcing.

01:03:43.000 So maybe I'll write some rules this weekend for the channel.

01:03:47.000 I'll put it in that about section and people can read through them and the moderators can read them and familiarize themselves.

01:03:54.000 And if you do this, you get this penalty.

01:03:56.000 If you do that, you get that penalty.

01:03:58.000 And now everybody's on the same page and nobody can complain, right?

01:04:03.000 That's how it goes, right?

01:04:06.000 Gumby says, howdy Knickers, howdy. 0.83

01:04:09.000 Bobby says, naked people farting on each other. 0.88

01:04:13.000 Okay. 0.91

01:04:14.000 Thanks for the Ninjagini.

01:04:16.000 Thanks for that, Bobby D. This guy, he's given Ninjettes.

01:04:20.000 Who has, I don't understand who is out there that can afford to send multiple Ninjettes during the coronavirus, in a given, any given week for that matter, but then also be saying,

01:04:32.000 But then also include that, right?

01:04:34.000 Who has the kind of money where it's like, oh, you know, here's, here's, you know, a few hundred dollars this week during the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, but then they're also attaching to the chat, something like that.

01:04:47.000 Thanks for the Ninjagini, I guess.

01:04:48.000 Thanks for that insightful comment.

01:04:57.000 Well, thank you so much for the Ninjagini, and thanks for the kind words.

01:05:00.000 Really glad to hear that.

01:05:02.000 And I'm glad you are a former atheist progressive.

01:05:05.000 I love to hear when people make those big transitions, you know.

01:05:10.000 Not to say that I don't appreciate people that are Trump supporters, or right-wing, or maybe former alt-right, or dissident right, but I think there's something to be said about how good the show is, or how good the messaging is, rather, that you can have people that make it all the way from, you know, they don't believe in anything on the show, to they come full circle.

01:05:29.000 So that's great to hear.

01:05:31.000 But thanks for the kind words.

01:05:33.000 Glad you liked the show.

01:05:34.000 Giants says, did you watch the 2008 Star Wars The Clone Wars show?

01:05:40.000 No, but I saw the movie.

01:05:41.000 The movie came out in 2008 and I saw that with my mom in 2008.

01:05:46.000 My dad took me to Toys R Us at midnight.

01:05:49.000 They had a big blowout toy sale when that movie came out back in 08.

01:05:56.000 I remember they had like a midnight and midnight they opened and all the you know all the new toys came out at Toys R Us and we waited in line and we bought a bunch of stuff and Then like that weekend me and my mom saw the movie fond memories But no, I don't think I really watched the TV show too much.

01:06:14.000 I don't like the CGI animation It just doesn't look right Something about especially like a fighting show. 0.94

01:06:21.000 It just looks stupid to me and 0.94

01:06:23.000 Dallas Gropers says you can tell that celebs haven't had their adrenochrome in a few weeks. 1.00

01:06:27.000 LMAO, they all look terrible.

01:06:29.000 You think that's what it is?

01:06:30.000 You think QAnon?

01:06:32.000 QAnon is right.

01:06:33.000 The adrenochrome supply is tainted and now these celebrities are withering away before our eyes.

01:06:39.000 Well, thanks for the Ninjagini.

01:06:41.000 I guess that's one explanation, right?

01:06:42.000 Maybe it's just because they're not wearing makeup, I imagine.

01:06:45.000 Serena says, when it comes to leading a political movement for young people, you're a strategic genius.

01:06:51.000 Well, thanks for the Ninjagini.

01:06:53.000 And I agree.

01:06:54.000 But I don't know why you have to qualify that by saying, well, when it comes to this, why can't you just say I'm a strategic genius?

01:07:02.000 I think I'm basically just a strategic genius.

01:07:04.000 I mean, I'll take it.

01:07:05.000 I'll take it.

01:07:06.000 I appreciate the compliment.

01:07:07.000 But what are you implying? 1.00

01:07:09.000 Are you implying that when it comes to other things, I'm an idiot? 1.00

01:07:12.000 Is that what you're trying to say? 1.00

01:07:14.000 Nah, I'm just kidding.

01:07:16.000 I'm kidding.

01:07:17.000 Just kidding.

01:07:18.000 But thanks.

01:07:19.000 Thanks for the Ninjagini.

01:07:20.000 Thanks for the compliments.

01:07:21.000 It's true.

01:07:22.000 I am a pretty brilliant guy.

01:07:25.000 Just trying my best.

01:07:26.000 Holy Servant says, don't be a cutie pie. 0.98

01:07:29.000 Trump today, lol.

01:07:29.000 Yeah, I saw that.

01:07:30.000 Pretty funny.

01:07:32.000 Satirical Man with the Ninjagini. 0.94

01:07:33.000 Thanks a lot, big guy.

01:07:35.000 Big John says, the real quarantine is the groipers on twitter.com. 0.94

01:07:40.000 Not sure what you mean by that.

01:07:42.000 SpicyLeaf says, trust the plan!

01:07:45.000 And it's three Ninjaginis and then a Ninjet! 0.99

01:07:47.000 Wow!

01:07:48.000 Thank you so much, SpicyLeaf!

01:07:50.000 Big, big donation happening in chat.

01:07:53.000 Thanks a lot, man.

01:07:54.000 SpicyLeaf, I think that's maybe a new guy?

01:07:57.000 I don't, I, I, vaguely sounds familiar, but I think he might be a new chatter.

01:08:02.000 Thanks very much.

01:08:03.000 Thank you very much for the Ninjet, the Ninjagini.

01:08:06.000 Very much appreciated.

01:08:08.000 We're having a big week on this show.

01:08:10.000 Last week, or a couple weeks ago, was like, eh, it was like so-so.

01:08:14.000 And this week, it's like, sheesh, they want to put me over the edge.

01:08:17.000 They want me to defeat PewDiePie.

01:08:20.000 Let's get a check on that, shall we?

01:08:21.000 Let's just do a double check, see where we are.

01:08:25.000 It's probably going to happen next week or in two weeks.

01:08:27.000 At the rate at which we're going, let me see what we're at tonight.

01:08:35.000 Yeah, looks like we are imminently going to catch PewDiePie, and surely we will overtake him by the end of April.

01:08:43.000 At the very, very latest.

01:08:44.000 Seems like maybe much sooner than that.

01:08:46.000 So, that'll be a big day!

01:08:48.000 Thanks a lot for everybody helping me get along there in this week.

01:08:51.000 Embro, Maxi Bro changed his name to Embro.

01:08:56.000 I don't know if I like that name better.

01:08:58.000 Maxi Bro is, you know, it sounded maybe feminine because it's Maxi, but Embro is kind of like difficult on the tongue.

01:09:07.000 Embro. 0.76

01:09:08.000 I don't know if I love that, but anyway, he says pee pee poo poo.

01:09:11.000 Well, thanks for the diamond.

01:09:13.000 Pat Mance has ever heard of Otto Skorzeny?

01:09:16.000 Very interesting read.

01:09:17.000 No, I haven't, but I will look that up.

01:09:20.000 Maybe I'll give that a read, I guess.

01:09:23.000 Oh, yeah, never mind, actually.

01:09:25.000 Maybe not.

01:09:27.000 Hicks says, would you like a 9900K CPU on me?

01:09:32.000 I don't know what that means, but sure, yeah, sure, I'd love one.

01:09:37.000 My PO box is down below on the about section.

01:09:42.000 Or you could shoot me an email to discuss it, to talk about it.

01:09:45.000 I don't really know anything about computer specs.

01:09:48.000 Is that like a really good component?

01:09:50.000 I genuinely have no idea.

01:09:53.000 Let me pull up... I'm not going to waste everybody's time looking at mine, but... I don't even know what kind of... What is that?

01:10:00.000 A CPU?

01:10:01.000 I don't know what CPU I have.

01:10:02.000 Let me... I could pull it up quickly, I guess.

01:10:05.000 I have an AMD Ryzen 5 1600 six core processor.

01:10:17.000 Is that a CPU?

01:10:19.000 Is that like the same thing?

01:10:20.000 I don't know. 0.97

01:10:22.000 I probably sound like a real dummy.

01:10:25.000 It's crazy good, they say.

01:10:26.000 It's crazy good.

01:10:33.000 So yeah, I have no idea, but just... I don't know what that means.

01:10:38.000 Speak English, they say.

01:10:40.000 Ryzen 5, let's see.

01:10:45.000 9900K and Nick probably doesn't even have a computer that could utilize it.

01:10:48.000 What does that mean?

01:10:49.000 What do you mean I don't have a computer?

01:10:50.000 What is that supposed to mean?

01:10:53.000 Why?

01:10:53.000 What is that like?

01:10:54.000 What do you need?

01:10:55.000 Send me, you know what, just shoot me an email. 1.00

01:10:57.000 Explain it to me like I'm an idiot. 1.00

01:10:59.000 Explain it to me like I'm James Alsup, okay? 1.00

01:11:01.000 Explain it to me like I'm a retarded idiot. 1.00

01:11:04.000 And we'll be in touch. 1.00

01:11:06.000 njfuencesblog at gmail.com.

01:11:07.000 But I appreciate it.

01:11:09.000 I just have no idea what that means.

01:11:10.000 But thanks a lot.

01:11:13.000 Waffle says my mom is in the hospital might have a might have Corona.

01:11:17.000 Sorry to hear that big guy prayers prayers for semen waffle

01:11:24.000 You know, that's... I don't know.

01:11:26.000 The name is really dissonant with the message, but I'm sorry to hear that.

01:11:30.000 Hope she's okay.

01:11:31.000 Yeah, that's probably right.

01:11:32.000 Yep.

01:11:33.000 Thanks for the Ninjagini.

01:11:34.000 You know, honestly, we didn't even really play dodgeball.

01:11:54.000 We played dodgeball in grade school, like in elementary school, maybe like up to fourth grade.

01:12:01.000 And then I noticed that we just stopped playing it.

01:12:04.000 We never played dodgeball in middle school.

01:12:06.000 I don't believe.

01:12:07.000 Maybe we did.

01:12:09.000 We certainly didn't play it ever in high school.

01:12:12.000 I think we might have played it once or twice in middle school.

01:12:15.000 And really the only time we played it regularly was in grade school.

01:12:19.000 They would pass out these foam balls.

01:12:20.000 These like foam squishy balls.

01:12:23.000 And I don't know, when I was seven years old, I don't really remember.

01:12:26.000 I mean, I guess I was pretty good.

01:12:27.000 I would usually

01:12:28.000 Stay in pretty long.

01:12:29.000 I was good at dodging. 0.92

01:12:30.000 I wasn't a great thrower, because I was like retarded. 1.00

01:12:34.000 I had no hand-eye coordination.

01:12:35.000 I mean, I had a good arm.

01:12:36.000 I had a pretty strong arm when it came to baseball or dodgeball, but I just didn't really have the technique down.

01:12:44.000 See, you have to understand that when you're somebody like me, you just...

01:12:49.000 Your brain... I don't know.

01:12:51.000 Maybe I'm just retarded, but I think it's like my brain is faster than my body at times, or maybe it's just disconnected.

01:12:58.000 Maybe that's a different way to say it. 0.95

01:13:00.000 Maybe a nice way to say it is that my brain is simply too fast.

01:13:03.000 Another way to say it is that my brain is completely disconnected from my body.

01:13:07.000 Because I would just get so hyped up, and then I'd end up just like whipping it into the ground, you know?

01:13:11.000 I'd get real excited, I'm gonna chuck it really hard, and then I'd just end up, you know, totally fucking up the throw.

01:13:17.000 When I focused on my technique, you know, and I... and I did the fundamentals then, I had a good arm and I was precise, but... I would just get overexcited and just wanna, you know, whip it, and... I'd just goof it, because I had really bad sort of like, you know... It's not so much hand-eye coordination so much as it is like...

01:13:37.000 You know, brain-body coordination, so to speak.

01:13:40.000 More just like a physical intelligence, which I never had.

01:13:44.000 So, uh, so as far as it went in grade school, I mean, I was probably average, but, um, we never played it in high school, probably because of this, like, politically correct stuff, like, can't play dodgeball because it's, like, dangerous and it leads to bullying, so... We never played anything like dodgeball in high school.

01:14:02.000 We just did, like, retarded sports. 0.90

01:14:05.000 You know, kind of lame, but yeah, that's my answer. 0.88

01:14:10.000 Waffle says, Docs can't give pain meds for Corona, it may kill.

01:14:15.000 Yeah, doesn't ibuprofen worsen the virus actually?

01:14:19.000 Boomer says, thoughts on the French Revolution?

01:14:22.000 Not good.

01:14:23.000 Spicy Leaf says, chicken on a raft says, okay.

01:14:27.000 St.

01:14:27.000 Basil says, the placebo effect works in both directions.

01:14:32.000 Not sure what you mean by that.

01:14:34.000 Juana says chicken on a raft says thoughts on thoughts.

01:14:37.000 Okay.

01:14:39.000 Wood Colony says casual Friday check and is there any chance we can hear a funny story from your Model UN days?

01:14:46.000 Thanks for the Ninjagini.

01:14:50.000 You know because it's a Ninjagini I'm going to try not to be you know mildly annoyed by that question.

01:14:55.000 I hate when people just ask me for like you have a funny

01:14:59.000 Tell me a funny story.

01:15:00.000 I don't know why I hate that so much.

01:15:02.000 It's one thing if you're asking about something specific, but it's another thing if you're like, tell me, tell me a story.

01:15:07.000 Tell me, make me laugh.

01:15:09.000 Make me laugh with a funny story.

01:15:11.000 I mean, I don't know.

01:15:12.000 It's so hard for me to just kind of like draw on stories just with free, just kind of like,

01:15:19.000 Freely without any kind of association.

01:15:21.000 It's one thing if you're having a conversation and somebody offers something up and it's like Oh, you know, it makes me think of something that I can relate to that It's another thing just be like, you know come up with something.

01:15:33.000 Tell me the your favorite frame in a movie That was the other day.

01:15:36.000 What's the most beautiful frame in a movie, dude?

01:15:38.000 I don't know you think I categorize in my head like beautiful movie frames So a funny story from Model UN

01:15:49.000 Well, I can think of a few funny stories.

01:15:52.000 One time, when I first became a freshman, it was very funny.

01:15:57.000 This might make some of you guys laugh.

01:16:00.000 When I was a freshman, and I first started in the program, I got one of the worst assignments that you could get.

01:16:07.000 They gave me, like, Indonesia in the World Health Organization.

01:16:11.000 That's, like, the worst.

01:16:13.000 And that was the World Health Organization.

01:16:15.000 How many people had even heard of that before the coronavirus?

01:16:17.000 Probably not many people.

01:16:19.000 But my freshman year of high school, my second conference, I think, I had to get partnered up with somebody, and we were Indonesia in the World Health Organization.

01:16:29.000 And I was, like, I'm, like, one of the best delegates here, even as a freshman.

01:16:32.000 And they gave me this shitty assignment.

01:16:34.000 And years later, 0.93

01:16:35.000 I talked to the upperclassmen.

01:16:37.000 We were more friendly at that point.

01:16:39.000 And they said, yeah, we totally just gave you the worst position because you had a Mexican last name and we assumed that you were just some like... We assumed that you were just some Mexican kid who like wasn't gonna take it seriously and whatever.

01:16:51.000 And I was like, wow.

01:16:52.000 And the irony to me is so rich because all those people, by the way, have like unfriended me on Facebook and they don't want to talk to me because I'm racist and so on.

01:17:01.000 And they prided themselves on being like these liberals and whatever.

01:17:04.000 And here they were.

01:17:06.000 They saw my name on the roster without meeting me, Nicholas Fuentes, and I'm sure they assumed I was some dark

01:17:13.000 You know, thick black hair, Hispanic kid, you know, maybe some, I don't know, who is gonna show up and be some, you know, whatever.

01:17:23.000 I have a lot of good stories from those days.

01:17:25.000 Maybe we'll save that for a gamer stream.

01:17:27.000 I feel it's almost self-indulgent to tell stories from high school.

01:17:44.000 I don't know.

01:17:45.000 Telling stories to you just like that, it just seems... Unless there's a really, really funny story, I just feel like a jerk telling stories. 0.98

01:17:52.000 Maybe I'll save it for a gaming stream when we're just hanging out, you know?

01:17:56.000 But yeah, I've got some funny stories, some very, very good times from back in the day.

01:18:04.000 And that's really where I gained a political consciousness, was Model UN.

01:18:08.000 You guys gotta understand that before... And you gotta think about somebody like me.

01:18:12.000 Where does somebody like me come from?

01:18:14.000 Think about me.

01:18:15.000 Where does somebody like me come from?

01:18:17.000 Where do you get some guy? 1.00

01:18:19.000 When I started this show I was like 18.

01:18:21.000 Where do you get this guy who's 18 years old and is doing this show and he's got all these strong opinions and he's pretty good at what he does.

01:18:28.000 He's kind of like the best at what he does.

01:18:30.000 Where does a guy like that come from?

01:18:32.000 You gotta understand that before I was me on America First, before I was Nicholas J. Fuentes on America First, I was Nicholas J. Fuentes, the model UN delegate.

01:18:43.000 Like, even in high school I had sort of like a...

01:18:47.000 I don't know.

01:19:03.000 You think so?

01:19:20.000 You're Nick Fuentes, right?

01:19:21.000 My right hand to God, I swear.

01:19:23.000 I'm not making this up.

01:19:25.000 And it wasn't like, oh, it's that guy.

01:19:27.000 No, it's like, oh my gosh, you're Nick Fuentes.

01:19:29.000 Hey, it's like cool to meet you.

01:19:30.000 I swear, because I have like this reputation.

01:19:33.000 Because you got to imagine, I'm the same person now.

01:19:36.000 I mean, I'm a little bit more experienced and a little bit wiser and everything.

01:19:40.000 But I was the same person now that I was in high school.

01:19:43.000 And I was in a school of maybe 4,000 people, and I was kind of like a local, like, celebrity.

01:19:48.000 I kind of still am, to an extent. 0.99

01:19:50.000 So you gotta remember that back in the day, when I was going to Model UN, I would go to these conferences, and people would meet me and they'd be like, who the fuck is this guy?

01:19:59.000 Because I'd give these speeches that were like, blow everybody out of the water, and I would do stuff that nobody else would do, and I remember when I would go into some of these conferences, 0.97

01:20:11.000 Uh, I would, I would literally go, I would walk inside the committee room, these conferences, some of them would last like three or four days, and you'd go into the first session of committee on the first night, and people would literally, I would watch their faces, I would walk into the room, and people's faces would drop, and they would say, aw, shit! 0.95

01:20:30.000 I'm in a committee with Nick Fuentes from Lions Township. 0.94

01:20:33.000 I'm never gonna win, you know?

01:20:35.000 I swear, I remember there was gossip.

01:20:37.000 People would be like, oh yeah, Nick's in my committee, so I'm really gonna have a hard time.

01:20:42.000 So, one guy called me the devil one time.

01:20:45.000 He was like on the verge of tears.

01:20:47.000 During a moderated caucus, no less, he called me the devil.

01:20:50.000 Completely inappropriate.

01:20:52.000 He completely broke decorum.

01:20:55.000 We were in the Russian Security Council, and we were all around the roundtable, we were in the Situation Room for the National Security Council, and this one delegate, who I had just been bullying relentlessly, man, I was really... and this guy, I just like... that was the second time I made someone cry in Model UN.

01:21:16.000 And he was like on the verge of tears and he's like, this guy is like the devil, you know, he's just not playing fair and blah, blah, blah.

01:21:25.000 And the chair banged the gavel and said, Decorum, I, you know, I raised my placard right away and I said, yeah, point of personal, I think it was a point of order, point of order, you know, this guy's clearly attacking me.

01:21:37.000 I forget now if it was a point of order or a point of personal privilege or whatever, but the chair was like, yeah, you know, knock it off.

01:21:45.000 This other time.

01:21:46.000 I don't want to get too into this story because it's kind of like a long story and the details are kind of unimportant.

01:21:51.000 But basically the way that it works in Model UN is the objective is you're in a committee, you're in a body, whether that's the General Assembly or the World Health Organization or the Economic and Finance Committee, and the end game of the conference, the goal, is to pass resolutions.

01:22:09.000 Resolutions are like bills, it's like legislation.

01:22:11.000 The House of Representatives passes resolutions.

01:22:14.000 The Senate passes resolutions.

01:22:16.000 A resolution is like a non-binding promise, basically.

01:22:20.000 You resolve to do something as a body.

01:22:23.000 And with a General Assembly, all they can do is pass resolutions.

01:22:27.000 The Security Council passes directives.

01:22:29.000 A directive does have the weight of law, like theoretically.

01:22:33.000 It's enforceable.

01:22:34.000 A resolution, which is all a General Assembly can pass, just says, we as a body resolve to do this.

01:22:39.000 And it's like a suggestion.

01:22:41.000 So the endgame of these committees, the General Assemblies, is passing resolutions.

01:22:46.000 And the way that you win in Model UN is you sponsor a resolution.

01:22:50.000 There can only be like three or four sponsors for any resolution.

01:22:54.000 You write one, you sponsor one, and you get it passed.

01:22:57.000 That's how you win.

01:22:58.000 To simplify it.

01:23:00.000 And I remember I was in this very competitive committee.

01:23:04.000 It was between me and this one other guy.

01:23:06.000 I was France.

01:23:07.000 He was...

01:23:10.000 Cuba?

01:23:11.000 I forget what country he was from.

01:23:12.000 I was France and he was some other country.

01:23:15.000 I think he was Cuba.

01:23:17.000 And we had been co-sponsors on the first resolution that passed, and it was a very laborious process.

01:23:26.000 The first resolution was on, I think, like economic development, and we came to this really grand, it took a long time, it was a super long resolution, we had to negotiate on this, lots of unmoderated caucuses, it took a long time, and we finally passed it.

01:23:42.000 And it was maybe like the third day of the conference, or the second day,

01:23:46.000 And in my mind, my thought process was this.

01:23:50.000 If the judge or the chair is deciding who wants to win, well, you see two delegates who have spoken a lot and they did everything and they both sponsored a resolution that passed.

01:24:01.000 In my mind, we're tied.

01:24:03.000 I said, so what do we have to do is I have to sponsor the next resolution.

01:24:06.000 We're good to go.

01:24:26.000 We're both sponsoring the second resolution!

01:24:43.000 And I said, you know, if we both pass two resolutions, well then it's a coin flip as to who's going to get the gavel, who's going to win first place.

01:24:49.000 So what I did is, I brought on board two people from my school to be the other co-sponsors.

01:24:55.000 I brought on board two of my friends who went to my school.

01:24:59.000 They were different countries, but they came on board as sponsors.

01:25:02.000 So we ended up having four sponsors on the bill, and one of them was me, two of them were people from my school, and one of them was my rival, Cuba.

01:25:09.000 So we pulled him aside in the hall, and if you have a majority of the sponsors, you can kick off other sponsors.

01:25:15.000 A majority of the sponsors can make decisions about the paper.

01:25:18.000 So we brought him into the hall right before it passed, and we said, uh, you're off the resolution.

01:25:23.000 We made up some completely nonsensical reason.

01:25:26.000 We were like, we just don't think our values align.

01:25:29.000 We just don't think it's, like, a good look.

01:25:30.000 Like, we don't want to have you on our resolution.

01:25:33.000 It's just not gonna work.

01:25:34.000 And he was arguing and saying, like, that doesn't make any sense.

01:25:37.000 Like, I agree.

01:25:38.000 We agree on everything.

01:25:39.000 Everyone agrees on everything.

01:25:40.000 We're all going to be sponsors and it's going to pass.

01:25:43.000 And he was right, but we were like, nah, we just don't think it's going to work.

01:25:47.000 He can't be on the resolution.

01:25:49.000 And I swear, he actually cried.

01:25:51.000 He was like, you know, that's just like not fair.

01:25:53.000 I know you guys want to win and everything, but that's not right.

01:25:56.000 You can't do this.

01:25:58.000 And he went and literally cried to everyone else in the committee and said, like,

01:26:02.000 They kicked me off the resolution and they're being mean.

01:26:05.000 And all the girls in the committee rallied behind him and they wrote the exact same resolution.

01:26:12.000 And they were like, we're going to have a resolution that doesn't have him on it. 1.00

01:26:15.000 We're going to have a resolution that doesn't have that guy on it because he's a jerk. 0.99

01:26:19.000 And the chair ended up being like, this is ridiculous, you have to fuse the resolutions together. 0.97

01:26:24.000 And I reluctantly put him back on as a sponsor and we fused the resolutions.

01:26:28.000 And then I got no award. 0.99

01:26:30.000 Because the chair was like, you're a jerk, and the point of this committee was consensus building, and all you wanted to do was win, so they didn't even give me an award! 0.99

01:26:40.000 I was by far and away the best delegate, they didn't give me an award because I was like, too mean or something. 0.99

01:26:46.000 I remember the first day I came there, this girl came up to me.

01:26:49.000 I was like leading the conversation in an unmoderated caucus.

01:26:52.000 I was basically governing the whole committee.

01:26:55.000 And this girl came up.

01:26:56.000 She came into the fold.

01:26:57.000 And she's like, um, you know, you're, you're like, you think you're running everything.

01:27:01.000 You need to stop bossing everyone around. 0.99

01:27:03.000 And I was like, you need to shut your mouth. 0.99

01:27:05.000 She was representing Afghanistan. 1.00

01:27:07.000 I was like, why don't you shut your mouth? 0.99

01:27:08.000 You're like, not even a country. 0.99

01:27:09.000 You're basically a colony of the United States.

01:27:12.000 Why don't you go sit over there?

01:27:13.000 And everybody was like,

01:27:15.000 Dude, like, that was not cool.

01:27:17.000 That was uncalled for.

01:27:19.000 And I'm like, sorry, sorry, sorry.

01:27:21.000 Okay, okay.

01:27:22.000 Let's, you know, let's get back to it.

01:27:25.000 Anyway, so you wanted a story.

01:27:27.000 I don't know if that's funny to you or not.

01:27:28.000 That's funny to me.

01:27:29.000 I think a lot of people, these stories just sound like nerd stuff.

01:27:32.000 It just sounds like lame.

01:27:34.000 But I got a big kick out of it.

01:27:36.000 I had a lot of fun.

01:27:37.000 It was just fun.

01:27:38.000 It was just fun.

01:27:39.000 Good times.

01:27:40.000 If you're into politics, it's a blast.

01:27:42.000 So there's your Model UN stories.

01:27:46.000 The glory days.

01:27:47.000 Glory days!

01:27:47.000 I look back on that.

01:27:49.000 Glory days, y'all.

01:27:51.000 The old days of the competition, back when I was a competitor.

01:27:55.000 Could you imagine being in high school and, you know, you had to compete with me in Model UN?

01:28:00.000 You would not fare well, that I can tell you.

01:28:04.000 Yeah, but that girl. 1.00

01:28:05.000 There was like one other incident like that where I just totally went off on somebody.

01:28:09.000 That's the thing.

01:28:10.000 You have to wear a mask, essentially, because if you really show... Look, I mean, let's be real.

01:28:15.000 If you want to do anything in the world, you have to be kind of like a terrible person.

01:28:20.000 And I don't mean a terrible person like a bad person, per se.

01:28:23.000 I just mean you need to be terrible in the proper sense of the word. 0.94

01:28:26.000 You need to be terrifying. 0.99

01:28:28.000 You need to be a terror. 0.99

01:28:28.000 You need to possess 0.99

01:28:31.000 We're good to go. 0.99

01:28:46.000 You know, there are times in high school where I would take off the mask and people would say, Joe, you're like, you're kind of a dick, you know, you're a very mean person. 0.98

01:28:54.000 But that's what you have to do, especially in a competition. 0.99

01:28:57.000 You have to do whatever it takes to win.

01:28:59.000 And sometimes, that was my problem in Model UN, is I was too much of a schemer.

01:29:05.000 I didn't quite know yet how to kind of be tactful, how to be patient with people.

01:29:11.000 Because back in the day, if I was impatient, I would just

01:29:16.000 The clause would come out, you know, and you would see kind of a different side.

01:29:20.000 So, maybe you see that in these super chats sometimes, although to a lesser degree.

01:29:25.000 So, there were times then when I would just really, you know, go off the goop and I would have to... There was one time when I was partnered up with this guy who was much bigger than me.

01:29:34.000 We were a double delegation.

01:29:37.000 We were the United States... No, we were the United Kingdom and the Security Council.

01:29:42.000 and there is one occasion where this guy was really screwing us over so what we plan to do is we said we should just physically intimidate this guy because my partner he did rugby and he was like a big big like a thick guy

01:29:57.000 Tall.

01:29:58.000 Thick.

01:29:59.000 I mean, he was just an absolute unit.

01:30:01.000 And so me and him, we were a team.

01:30:04.000 We were a double delegation from the same school, obviously.

01:30:07.000 And the US delegation was screwing us over.

01:30:11.000 They were from a rival school. 1.00

01:30:12.000 They were just doing this really underhanded gay shit. 1.00

01:30:16.000 So we conspired and we said, why don't we just physically intimidate this guy? 1.00

01:30:20.000 You're bigger than him. 1.00

01:30:21.000 This guy should not be fucking with us the way he is. 1.00

01:30:24.000 So what we did is I went up to the chair and created a diversion. 0.99

01:30:28.000 I went up to the front of the room and like occupied their attention.

01:30:31.000 And in the meantime, my partner came just sailing down the aisle.

01:30:36.000 And just, like, blasted into this guy and sent him right onto the ground.

01:30:40.000 It was the funniest thing I ever saw.

01:30:42.000 And everybody in the front row was like, like, oh, what happened?

01:30:45.000 What happened?

01:30:46.000 And my friend was like, oh, oops, like, I think I bumped into you, but...

01:30:51.000 It was so funny because I was literally creating a diversion for the chair and I saw out of the corner of my eye, I saw this guy just plowing through the aisle, coming full speed ahead at this guy.

01:31:04.000 We ended up getting like third place. 0.82

01:31:06.000 We ended up getting an honorable mention because the chair was gay. 1.00

01:31:09.000 We were so smart, man. 0.91

01:31:11.000 In Model UN, the like legal machinations

01:31:17.000 Like, we're off the charts.

01:31:18.000 We were so good at it that the chairs didn't even understand how good we were doing.

01:31:23.000 Do you know what I mean?

01:31:23.000 Like, maybe if you're in Model U and you get it, maybe if you're not, you don't, but we were playing the game in such a sophisticated way that we literally had to go up to the chair at one point and say, like, I don't think you understand what we're doing.

01:31:36.000 Like, we're doing this, that, and the other deliberately.

01:31:39.000 We have, like, this super sophisticated plan to get everything we want and, like, we just did that.

01:31:44.000 We just achieved that.

01:31:46.000 And they were like, yeah, whatever. 1.00

01:31:47.000 You know, it's like these stupid college girls, you know, these dumb whores. 1.00

01:31:52.000 Yeah, okay, great. 1.00

01:31:53.000 Yeah, well, you know, you don't understand what we're doing, you dumb bitch. 1.00

01:31:57.000 You're not even as good at Model UN as me. 1.00

01:31:59.000 I'm 17, you're some stupid roasty in college. 1.00

01:32:03.000 You're literally not even smart enough to understand how good we're doing, and they would give us third place. 1.00

01:32:08.000 That's why I couldn't wait to get out of college, because I was like, I'm tired of having to go to some retarded adult and say, this is how good I am. 1.00

01:32:17.000 When you're in the world, you do things,

01:32:20.000 And if you're good, you succeed, right?

01:32:22.000 Like, in Model UN, you only win if the judge decides that you did a good job.

01:32:28.000 And you have to, like, impress people.

01:32:29.000 And you have to, like, brown nose.

01:32:31.000 It's not sufficient just to win.

01:32:33.000 It's more that you have to convince somebody that you're winning.

01:32:36.000 But if you're in the real world, you can just win.

01:32:38.000 And you don't have to convince anybody.

01:32:40.000 If you do good, you just do good.

01:32:43.000 And I couldn't wait for that when I got out of high school. 0.96

01:32:45.000 I said, just wait when I don't have to impress some whore, when I don't have to impress some, you know, jag off teacher, some academic, you know. 1.00

01:32:54.000 I couldn't wait and now here we are so so anyway we could talk more about that maybe I'll do a casual stream tonight or tomorrow or something because Lots of lots of good memories from back in the day that I'd like to share But I don't think this is the place for it because I got to get through a hundred thousand super chats

01:33:13.000 Uh, let's see.

01:33:13.000 Spicy Leaf says, Nick always starts the show at 7pm sharp.

01:33:17.000 Stop implying he is late, it is getting old.

01:33:20.000 I know, it's so annoying.

01:33:21.000 Thanks for the Ninjagini, by the way.

01:33:23.000 The show starts at 7 o'clock every night.

01:33:26.000 I'm so sick of all these trolls in chat saying, late, late, late again, med, med, uh, what is it?

01:33:34.000 Meg Workethic, stop trolling the chat. 0.93

01:33:37.000 I'm on.

01:33:37.000 Everybody knows the show starts at seven o'clock every night.

01:33:40.000 It is getting old.

01:33:42.000 Thanks for the Ninjagini.

01:33:43.000 Andrew says, keep up the great work, King.

01:33:45.000 Thanks.

01:33:46.000 Ben's Funny Hat says, do you think America will just return to mass migration policies and forget this pandemic happened? 0.79

01:33:53.000 I think that's the most likely outcome.

01:33:55.000 Yeah, sadly.

01:33:57.000 Thanks for the Ninjagini, but

01:33:59.000 Yeah, I would hope that the president would utilize this to shut down immigration indefinitely, but I doubt that's going to happen.

01:34:07.000 Elrin says, do you think Iran will collapse due to coronavirus?

01:34:12.000 Yeah, I think a lot of countries might collapse in Iran because of oil, and because of sanctions, and because of corona.

01:34:21.000 It's like a perfect storm there.

01:34:22.000 So, they could have very big problems because of the virus.

01:34:26.000 Nikarnesh says, John Wick mode, yep.

01:34:30.000 Dev says no Trudeau.

01:34:32.000 Excuse me. 0.58

01:34:32.000 No Trudeau bucks, but here's a loony anyway. 0.58

01:34:35.000 Well, thanks for the loony Elijah says trust the plan.

01:34:40.000 Yep trusting the plan Elrin says how did your parents meet?

01:34:44.000 Hey, well, thank you so much for the ninja at Wow big big Ninja and chat much appreciated.

01:34:52.000 I think my parents met on a blind date actually Is a story they tell

01:34:58.000 They met on a blind date and um...

01:35:02.000 I guess my mother actually didn't like my father at first.

01:35:07.000 My parents are like Seinfeld characters.

01:35:10.000 I guess, in a way, they have assimilated Seinfeld into their personality, or maybe that's just how they are.

01:35:15.000 But whenever I ask them, like, when I was a kid, I would always ask, like, when did you guys, like, fall in love?

01:35:22.000 You know, like, how did your first date go?

01:35:24.000 Like, blah, blah, blah.

01:35:25.000 My parents aren't, like, super affectionate.

01:35:27.000 They're, uh, that's just not, you know, they're in their, um,

01:35:31.000 DNA, I guess they're just I mean don't get me wrong They've been married for like 30 years and you know, they're been through a lot together, but it's just not that kind of a thing You know, I think after you hit the 30-year mark, you're like, okay We're over a lot of the lovey-dovey type stuff, right?

01:35:47.000 But I always ask about when they met and they're like well we met on a blind date and my mom says that she didn't really She didn't really care for my dad the first time.

01:35:55.000 I don't know why that was I think

01:35:58.000 There was for some reason I think he was like being rude or something.

01:36:01.000 He like didn't walk her to the door.

01:36:02.000 I forget.

01:36:04.000 He was having an off night, but I think that then after that he like called her back and had another date and they had a great time and they hit it off and he was a gentleman and everything but but the the story that I'm always told is there was a blind date.

01:36:19.000 I think it was a double date and it was a blind date and it was a double date with my father and his brother and

01:36:28.000 And it didn't go so good and then the next week my father, or I don't know, later on my father called my mother and they had another date and it went much more smoothly is the story that I've heard.

01:36:41.000 Thanks for being an honest voice in a world of deceivers.

01:36:42.000 We'll donate more after graduating with a new job.

01:37:01.000 I don't really like Lego Star Wars, I gotta tell ya.

01:37:02.000 I mean, it's nostalgic and I played it a lot as a kid, but

01:37:30.000 It's just not fun anymore.

01:37:31.000 I'm a grown-ass man and I can't play these games where it's like you just have to go down and you know do the force on every lever and every little thing and it's minikits and you got to collect all the studs and you got to kill all the guys and it's like there's just too much with these platformers going on.

01:37:49.000 I hate platformers.

01:37:51.000 I like games where, well, I just don't like games where it's like, oh, there's like a hidden level, there's like a hidden prize, and you spend hours just like searching and... 0.97

01:38:01.000 Puzzles and shit like that.

01:38:03.000 It's I never liked that. 0.97

01:38:05.000 I want to just get through I like like the Call of Duty campaign You just progress through the thing you kill the guys and then you're done You know like Star Wars should be that way you go through you kill the guys you do the thing Forget the puzzles and oh I got a collective million studs and I got to find this minikit piece And oh if you go behind this corner, there's a hidden area.

01:38:26.000 I hate that.

01:38:26.000 It's so tedious and

01:38:29.000 Let's see.

01:38:30.000 Thani says, I hope my last Ninjagini makes you smile.

01:38:33.000 I hope my 20 packs of ramen lasts until I get Trump bucks.

01:38:37.000 Well, thanks for the Ninjagini.

01:38:38.000 Yeah, well, I'm smiling.

01:38:41.000 But hey, hope you are making it through.

01:38:43.000 Save your money if you can't afford lemons.

01:38:46.000 I've never asked you for lemons.

01:38:49.000 Save your money, especially in this time of need.

01:38:52.000 But hey, hope you're doing okay.

01:38:54.000 Hope you get your Trump bucks okay.

01:38:57.000 Yeet Peterson says, oh, already read that one.

01:39:00.000 No, seriously, that's what it says.

01:39:01.000 Anyways, thank you for the Ninjet.

01:39:02.000 Yeah, okay.

01:39:03.000 Thanks for the Ninjagini.

01:39:05.000 I love when people do messages like that.

01:39:07.000 Thanks for the Ninjagini.

01:39:09.000 Dutch Groyper says, your presence is soothing.

01:39:11.000 Is it really?

01:39:12.000 Most people do not, do not feel this way.

01:39:14.000 I can tell you, most people did not feel this way about me, so that's good to hear.

01:39:19.000 Armenian Groyper says, looking snazzy.

01:39:22.000 Ah, thank you.

01:39:24.000 Most people think I'm very intense and erotic and irritable, and I probably am, but I'm glad you find my presence soothing.

01:39:34.000 Modern Monarchist says, for America First to succeed, all must contribute.

01:39:38.000 That's true.

01:39:39.000 Everybody has to do their part, whatever that may be.

01:39:43.000 Yeet says, what's the over-under on Milo having grids?

01:39:46.000 Thank God it's Friday.

01:39:47.000 Well, I agree.

01:39:48.000 Thank God it's Friday.

01:39:50.000 I don't, I don't think he has AIDS.

01:39:52.000 I mean, when I met him in New York, he looked, he looked very healthy, looked very vibrant, and even put on a little bit of weight.

01:40:01.000 Good for him, you know, he's got a little bit of, you know, I could tell that he's eating well, which is great.

01:40:06.000 You know, a lot of people are concerned about his financial situation.

01:40:09.000 I think we know that he's doing okay, you know.

01:40:11.000 I've been talking about that prosperity, that prosperity metric.

01:40:16.000 He's gonna be very mad at me that I said that, but

01:40:20.000 No, yeah, he looks healthy to me.

01:40:21.000 He looks healthy to me, but he's just gotta keep it under control, right?

01:40:26.000 He's living a very risky lifestyle some might say but you know we we decided on his show when I was on the show back in December that we're like arm's-length allies so we throw a little banter back and forth but it's all it's all in good fun Erlin says and you know I should say Milo has helped a lot behind the scenes you know and this is

01:40:51.000 You know, something that was controversial back in December when I went out to do a show, and even talking with Milo on Telegram or whatever, people were like, oh, you know, you can't do that!

01:41:01.000 He's, he's bad optics, or he's gay, or whatever. 1.00

01:41:05.000 And, you know, granted, I don't, you know, don't agree with his lifestyle, and I don't think we agree on everything on politics, and some of the, you know, some of the things he says about groipers I'm not a fan of, but, um, 1.00

01:41:19.000 I think there is some overlap on some of the issues and certainly there have been some things behind the scenes that he's been helpful with.

01:41:27.000 So this is how we have to think.

01:41:30.000 Allies, Big Tent, and that doesn't mean that everybody's in our faction within the Big Tent, but it means that we want to be a faction that's inside the Big Tent.

01:41:39.000 Think about that visual, you know.

01:41:41.000 People are saying, oh, you know, so it's like Milo's not really a part of our faction.

01:41:46.000 He's his own faction, right?

01:41:48.000 But we're factions under the big tent.

01:41:51.000 And you just gotta think on what that means.

01:41:53.000 That's where a lot of people get confused.

01:41:55.000 They're like, oh, you're talking to so-and-so?

01:41:57.000 How's that putting America first?

01:41:58.000 And it's like, well, not everything about that person is putting America first, but they are not really a part of our thing.

01:42:05.000 And that's okay.

01:42:06.000 I don't say that in a mean way, but that's just simply what it is.

01:42:10.000 You know, Milo said, I don't like a lot of what you say, and you don't like a lot of what I say, so maybe there's like this arm's length, you know, overlap, right?

01:42:17.000 Arm's length alliance, right?

01:42:19.000 And a lot of people still don't understand that concept.

01:42:21.000 And some people deliberately misunderstand it so that they can, you know, undermine me and say, oh, Nick is insincere, Nick is not credible because he talks to somebody that isn't fully on board.

01:42:32.000 But, you know, that's life, is talking to people that aren't fully on board and working with people that aren't fully on board sometimes.

01:42:39.000 And especially when you don't have the resources or the strength in numbers that Turning Point USA does, as an example.

01:42:45.000 You have to, you know, we just have to be resourceful.

01:42:49.000 So anyway, yeah, that's my reaction to that.

01:42:54.000 But a little bit of banter.

01:42:55.000 Erwin says, will the Defense Production Act help?

01:42:58.000 Yes, it will.

01:42:59.000 Yeah, if we could get General Motors to start producing ventilators, that'd be a huge boon.

01:43:03.000 Elijah says, trust the plan-demic. 0.61

01:43:05.000 Trust the plan-demic, I like that.

01:43:08.000 Jesse says Nick on Groundhog Day with the virus shows.

01:43:11.000 Yeah, that's...

01:43:12.000 That's right, it is Groundhog Day every day.

01:43:15.000 Warren says hair clay works well for thick hair.

01:43:19.000 I've tried everything for styling my hair.

01:43:21.000 Nothing works.

01:43:22.000 I've tried super hold pomade.

01:43:25.000 I've tried clay.

01:43:26.000 I've tried gel.

01:43:26.000 I've tried everything.

01:43:28.000 What seems to work the best is a blow dryer.

01:43:30.000 Because my hair is thick, but it also is colicky.

01:43:33.000 I have colics in my hair.

01:43:35.000 So what seems to work the best is blow drying it.

01:43:38.000 And I don't blow dry it.

01:43:39.000 I towel dry it every, you know,

01:43:42.000 I don't put anything in it.

01:43:43.000 I don't blow dry it.

01:43:44.000 But if I have something that I want to look good for, usually I'll blow dry it just to be sure and that helps it keep its shape.

01:43:52.000 But aside from that, the product doesn't really seem to make a difference.

01:43:55.000 In fact, it sometimes makes it worse.

01:43:58.000 I don't know.

01:43:59.000 Maybe I have to hire a stylist.

01:44:00.000 I have to hire a stylist.

01:44:02.000 I don't know.

01:44:02.000 So many aspects of this job are just beyond my skill set, you know?

01:44:07.000 I think about, like, fashion and, like, style and it's like I don't know the first thing about this stuff.

01:44:13.000 I need to hire somebody to come in and, you know, fix up my wardrobe.

01:44:17.000 I need somebody to come in and throw all my clothes away and, you know, figure out... I go to Macy's and I have to go to the Macy's stylist to, like, pick out shirts for me.

01:44:26.000 And, you know, she was very nice but

01:44:28.000 I'm talking to the stylist.

01:44:29.000 It's like this free service where they help you pick out clothes.

01:44:33.000 I mean she helped me see what fits and you know what looks good but I'm like

01:44:59.000 If we're just going to go around deciding on what I like, I could do that.

01:45:02.000 I could do that very easily.

01:45:04.000 So, anyway.

01:45:07.000 Chris Bacon says it was nice meeting you yesterday and thanks for being so sweet to a female fan.

01:45:14.000 I don't think I've met anybody recently.

01:45:16.000 Are you the... You're not the guy from Dollar Tree, so I don't think I met you yesterday.

01:45:22.000 I didn't even leave the house yesterday.

01:47:19.000 That doesn't ring a bell.

01:47:22.000 Hip clips.

01:47:23.000 I don't remember that, actually.

01:47:30.000 Is that like a 90's thing?

01:47:31.000 That's what that looks like.

01:47:34.000 Yeah, that looks like a 90's thing.

01:47:36.000 Sorry, I was born in 1998, so I don't know what you're talking about, bro.

01:47:48.000 What's your favorite city you've been to?

01:47:51.000 Thanks for the Ninjagini.

01:47:56.000 Favorite city I've been to besides Chicago.

01:47:59.000 You know, I really like Manchester, New Hampshire and I mean, I really like Chicago.

01:48:07.000 I don't know if any other city compares to me.

01:48:10.000 I've been all over the globe.

01:48:13.000 I've been to all over.

01:48:16.000 I'm not going to list every city I've been to, but I've been to a lot of cities.

01:48:20.000 And I gotta say that Chicago is by far number one, but if I had to pick a number two, maybe I would say...

01:48:34.000 Yeah, Manchester, New Hampshire was really nice.

01:48:37.000 And I like Boston.

01:48:38.000 I really like Boston.

01:48:39.000 I really like Manchester.

01:48:41.000 And, uh, yeah, yeah, outside of that, I mean, I really hate D.C.

01:48:46.000 I hate Miami.

01:48:48.000 I don't, I mean, L.A.

01:48:49.000 is actually, I don't mind L.A.

01:48:51.000 so much.

01:48:53.000 Phoenix, I'm not like in love with Phoenix.

01:48:55.000 I guess Phoenix is okay.

01:48:57.000 I guess I haven't spent enough time in a lot of these cities to really evaluate.

01:49:01.000 I've been to Phoenix a couple times, been to LA a couple times.

01:49:04.000 I lived in Boston for a while.

01:49:06.000 Been to Miami a couple times.

01:49:08.000 DC, I've been there a lot.

01:49:10.000 But yeah, probably Boston or Manchester.

01:49:13.000 I really like New England.

01:49:14.000 If I were to pick any other place to live, I'd probably pick New England.

01:49:17.000 So, that's my answer.

01:49:20.000 Jesse says, our ranch is getting essential worker letters.

01:49:24.000 LOL.

01:49:24.000 Hey, well, at least you get to stay employed, right?

01:49:27.000 And keep making money.

01:49:29.000 Eliza says, these numbers are coming from the CDC and World Health Organization.

01:49:33.000 Not buying it.

01:49:33.000 99% of the people dying in Italy had prior illnesses.

01:49:37.000 Yeah, that's true.

01:50:18.000 But I don't know, maybe my favorite song of all time might be Runaway.

01:50:28.000 Power's up there, Black Skinhead is up there, On Sight, Everything I Am. 0.88

01:50:38.000 So I'd have to think about that.

01:51:09.000 I guess that's a... yeah.

01:51:11.000 Here's a big white pill about the economy collapsing and thousands dying.

01:51:15.000 At least there's no drag queen story time. 1.00

01:51:17.000 Yeah, I guess so.

01:51:18.000 Timed outs.

01:51:19.000 Is any guess where the Fed balance sheet will be January 2021?

01:51:22.000 No idea.

01:51:24.000 Elijah says UK government downgraded coronavirus reports mortality rates low.

01:51:30.000 Okay.

01:52:25.000 Aaron says, are anti-war candidates better off being in the Republican, Democratic, or Libertarian Party?

01:52:32.000 Example, Lincoln Chafee.

01:52:34.000 Probably the Republican Party, at least under Trump.

01:52:38.000 The Libertarian Party's a joke.

01:52:40.000 The Democratic Party's hardly anti-war anymore.

01:52:43.000 So I think by default, under Trump, the Republican Party's probably the best for anti-war. 0.60

01:52:50.000 Embro says, here's your dollar to pay for the New York Times.

01:52:52.000 Thanks for the reimbursement there.

01:52:55.000 Jesse says they won't give that coverage on that gun bill though.

01:52:58.000 Can Trump executive order in this situation?

01:53:01.000 Executive order on what?

01:53:02.000 On guns or on something else?

01:53:05.000 Yeah, thanks.

01:53:05.000 Yeah, I think that's the side effect.

01:53:06.000 Yeah, that would be not good.

01:53:25.000 Fratticelli says if Clinton were president, I wonder if the media would have downplayed the virus for her re-election.

01:53:30.000 Probably, but they can only do that to an extent because the reality sets in no matter what.

01:53:35.000 But thanks for the Ninjagini.

01:53:37.000 Elijah says, Trump just signed two new laws to boost 5G security.

01:53:41.000 Excellent.

01:53:42.000 That's exactly what we need, especially with regard to China.

01:53:45.000 Reptard says, Big Stimulungus.

01:53:48.000 Yup.

01:53:49.000 Begone Tesseract says, Best part of the day.

01:53:52.000 Great show as always, King.

01:53:53.000 Thanks a lot.

01:53:55.000 Timedout says, Mods are based.

01:53:56.000 Thank you for saying that.

01:53:58.000 Spicy Leaf says, Sips.

01:54:01.000 Totally not.

01:54:02.000 I love when I... I just have to skip some of these.

01:54:05.000 You know, eventually... The problem is if I skip some, then people are like, I just won't send a chat then.

01:54:09.000 But... It's like I have to read... So-and-so says, you know, poo.

01:54:15.000 Thanks. 0.97

01:54:15.000 So-and-so says, you know, pee. 0.97

01:54:17.000 Oh, thanks.

01:54:18.000 And it just consumes so much mental and physical energy.

01:54:23.000 Okay, congratulations on your great chat.

01:54:25.000 Oh, much better tonight because she's an individualist. 0.96

01:54:27.000 What do you mean breaking the fourth wall?

01:54:47.000 It's a stream.

01:54:48.000 The fourth wall doesn't exist.

01:54:49.000 I'm talking to you.

01:54:50.000 It's not like a fiction show.

01:54:52.000 I can't break the fourth wall if it's non-fiction, right?

01:54:55.000 If it's a stream like this.

01:54:56.000 I'm talking to you.

01:54:58.000 Especially you, Optics.

01:54:59.000 I talk to Optics Perspective through the show.

01:55:02.000 I'm not quite breaking the fourth wall, but I see what you're saying.

01:55:06.000 Spicy Leaf says, Slipchick? 0.78

01:55:10.000 Dutch Groyper says, sip trick coffee.

01:55:13.000 Polish American says, there need to be moderators for mods. 0.97

01:55:16.000 Spicy Leaf says, disgusting.

01:55:18.000 Based Anglo says, have you ever seen One Punch Man? 0.93

01:55:20.000 No.

01:55:21.000 Aaron says, was the Ron Paul revolution necessary?

01:55:25.000 No.

01:55:27.000 No, and the Ron Paul revolution was bastardized anyway.

01:55:32.000 Ron Paul's campaign turned into Young Americans for Liberty.

01:55:36.000 And Young Americans for Liberty is terrible. 0.98

01:55:38.000 These guys are the worst. 0.99

01:55:39.000 They're all like, you know, neoliberals. 0.95

01:55:42.000 Ron Paul was based, but YAL is not.

01:55:45.000 And the libertarian movement that he spawned has gone in a radically different direction.

01:55:50.000 Ron Paul is like a paleo-libertarian.

01:55:52.000 These guys are like, you know,

01:55:55.000 Neoliberals.

01:55:57.000 Delphrix says, Tony Soprano versus Alex Jones, who wins?

01:56:01.000 Tony Soprano, because he's Italian.

01:56:04.000 OpticsRespector says, the chat is being unruly, trust me.

01:56:08.000 Okay, well then, I trust our moderators.

01:56:12.000 47IQ says, did you see that Pizzagate witch has the cough? 1.00

01:56:15.000 Who? 0.94

01:56:16.000 The witch, or Hillary Clinton, or?

01:56:20.000 Ramey's a satirical man, is PewDiePie?

01:56:22.000 Could be.

01:56:23.000 Who knows?

01:56:25.000 Osberger, wouldn't that be something though?

01:56:27.000 Osberger says your take on sex and alcohol last night was spot on.

01:56:31.000 I'm glad, I'm glad you like that.

01:56:33.000 And, you know, nobody else talks like that.

01:56:36.000 I don't understand.

01:56:37.000 Where are all the anti-alcohol, anti-drugs, anti-sex people?

01:56:43.000 Gotta have role models like that.

01:56:46.000 You know, none of those things are cool.

01:56:48.000 Delphrix says, not only is the show insightful, entertaining, and inspirational, but the chat is super fun.

01:56:53.000 Hey, well I'm glad.

01:56:54.000 I'm glad that you're having a good time.

01:56:56.000 Thanks for the Ninjagini.

01:56:57.000 Timedout says, Nick will never understand the dopamine rush of sending Nick lemons.

01:57:01.000 I'll never send myself a lemon.

01:57:03.000 That's true.

01:57:04.000 I'll never see myself perform.

01:57:06.000 Great tragedy.

01:57:07.000 Thanks for the Ninjagini.

01:57:08.000 Satiricalmanwithaninjet.

01:57:10.000 Wow!

01:57:10.000 Thank you so much, man.

01:57:11.000 This guy's just...

01:57:13.000 Everybody, let's do a salute in chat for Satirical Man.

01:57:16.000 Can we get a circle?

01:57:18.000 Can we get an O and a 7 in chat for Satirical Man? 0.86

01:57:22.000 Salute this man for his contributions this week.

01:57:25.000 A Big Pear says, who is PewDiePie?

01:57:27.000 I don't know.

01:57:28.000 Tucker says, Lemon Party in chat.

01:57:30.000 Yeah.

01:57:31.000 Zomer says, I'm 21 and dependent.

01:57:33.000 Works 2018.

01:57:35.000 Will I qualify?

01:57:36.000 I'm not sure.

01:57:38.000 Embro says, I agree.

01:57:39.000 MaxiBro is a lot easier to say.

01:57:41.000 I can change it back in a month.

01:57:43.000 Oh, only a month?

01:57:44.000 Perfect.

01:57:46.000 FartSniffer says, was East Germany based or cringe? 0.91

01:57:50.000 Pretty cringe. 0.99

01:57:51.000 Carpenter says, why is Milo always shitting on Groypers? 0.99

01:57:55.000 I don't know. 0.98

01:57:55.000 You'd have to ask Milo. 0.98

01:57:57.000 BasedAnglo says, are the USPS staff still giving you a hard time?

01:58:00.000 I haven't been in there in a while, so I gotta go in there and check my P.O.

01:58:05.000 box.

01:58:06.000 Delphric says, did Ryan Dawson convince you to try getting your YouTube back, or is it a lost cause?

01:58:11.000 Yeah, I went on his stream, by the way, and he got more viewers than he's ever had on his stream, and he was really nice to me, and then I find out that he's talking shit behind my back, and then people are posting screenshots where he's saying that I'm a clown, and I'm a racist, and blah blah blah, and I saw all these screenshots, so I'm done with that goof. 0.96

01:58:34.000 That guy literally has autism, his problem. 0.96

01:58:36.000 He can't get out of his own way. 0.53

01:58:37.000 You know, I was ready to bury the hatchet with him.

01:58:40.000 We got into a fight, you know, maybe like a year ago, and I was ready to make amends, and I came on his stream, which was doing him a big favor.

01:58:46.000 He made super chats, and he got a lot of live viewers, which he never gets, and I did him a favor, and he did me a favor by giving me some guidance on how to get my channel back, and then he goes around, he's telling people, oh, I'm a racist, and I'm a clown, and whatever, and it's like, you know,

01:59:02.000 I was nice to this guy.

01:59:03.000 I went on a stream, and I'm rolling my eyes throughout the whole thing. 1.00

01:59:05.000 The guy's an idiot. 1.00

01:59:07.000 The guy just talks, and he has a guest on the show, and all he does is talk, and the stuff that he says is retarded. 1.00

01:59:13.000 He's sending me these comedy videos he does, and I'm like, yeah, dude, that's really funny.

01:59:17.000 Dude, that's great.

01:59:18.000 And I'm like, just trying to be polite.

01:59:21.000 Anyway, so I think he knows his stuff.

01:59:23.000 He knows a lot about the subject that he talks about, but that's about where it stops and ends with him.

01:59:30.000 He's not nice.

01:59:30.000 He's not really a smart guy.

01:59:32.000 He's not even ideologically sound.

01:59:33.000 The guy's like a liberal, but he's just politically incorrect.

01:59:36.000 But he's a left-wing person.

01:59:38.000 I've been saying this for years about all these guys.

01:59:40.000 Spencer, Ryan Dawson.

01:59:43.000 A lot of these characters nobody believes me but they're liberals they just happen to be you know politically incorrect or they happen to be you know aware about racial differences or whatever so so yeah I mean he helped me and I helped him but then he wanted to get nasty so I think we're done with that clown Scorch Titan says it's sad to see how far from grace James has fallen yeah yeah very very tragic and totally avoidable too you know the thing is

02:00:11.000 With somebody like James, I wanted nothing but to get along with him when we started out and even last summer when we talked.

02:00:20.000 I am somebody that wants to get along, and I'm somebody that basically, if you just treat me with respect, I'm gonna be friends with you.

02:00:28.000 And generally, if you follow my advice, you're gonna do well.

02:00:32.000 Somebody like James Alsup, everything that he went through was totally avoidable.

02:00:35.000 Everything he went through.

02:00:37.000 Personal and professional.

02:00:39.000 A lot of the problems that he had, if he would just have listened to me, he wouldn't be in a lot of the problems that he's in, frankly.

02:00:47.000 And I don't want to get personal with him, but

02:00:49.000 Maybe he knows what that means.

02:00:52.000 If he had just listened to me, he'd be fine.

02:00:55.000 Our big problem when our company split was largely over TRS.

02:01:00.000 I said, you know, look, we're trying to do this optics thing, and you're spending too much time on TRS.

02:01:05.000 You don't fulfill your obligations for our show, and you're going on other shows, and it's a show that's not even good optics.

02:01:11.000 The Daily Showa and Fashion Nation.

02:01:13.000 What kind of message does that send?

02:01:15.000 You're going on a show with a guy that does Roman salutes. 0.88

02:01:17.000 Some clown that does Roman salutes at the White Lives Matter rally with the NSM and the KKK.

02:01:23.000 What kind of message does that send? 0.98

02:01:26.000 And not only is it bad optics, but...

02:01:28.000 You don't fulfill your obligations for our show, but you're on other shows?

02:01:32.000 Explain that, right?

02:01:35.000 But he ghettoized himself.

02:01:37.000 He wanted to be a big fish in a little pond.

02:01:40.000 He wanted to be a big fish in the alt-right pond, and now he is.

02:01:45.000 Now he's a big fish in a very, very small pond.

02:01:48.000 And I wish it wasn't like that.

02:01:49.000 I wish that he didn't do that.

02:01:50.000 I wish that we maybe... I mean, it ultimately ended up being better that we didn't work together.

02:01:55.000 But we made up even after that.

02:01:57.000 And then he lost his channel and he went to work for TRS.

02:02:00.000 And it's like, well, I mean, we can't really work together if that's gonna be the case.

02:02:03.000 It's nothing personal, but...

02:02:05.000 And then he goes around attacking me.

02:02:07.000 And I thought we settled it man-to-man, face-to-face.

02:02:11.000 He apologized for the things he did.

02:02:13.000 I apologized for the things I did.

02:02:15.000 We buried it.

02:02:15.000 And then he goes online.

02:02:17.000 What is that? 0.99

02:02:18.000 And goes on these forums and talks shit about me. 0.99

02:02:20.000 And he's on his show making these snarky drive-by remarks. 0.98

02:02:24.000 And who has time for that kind of stuff?

02:02:27.000 And it's so funny because I have this reputation of like, oh, you know, Nick just fights with everybody and whatever.

02:02:32.000 That's like never happened.

02:02:33.000 If anything, I'm cordial and respectful.

02:02:35.000 That's my default.

02:02:37.000 And what people do is they push, and they push, and they push, and they do this passive-aggressive stuff, and they subtweet, and they, you know, talk behind my back.

02:02:46.000 And then I hit them from the front, and then I'm the bad guy, right? 0.89

02:02:49.000 Then I hit them from the front.

02:02:51.000 And then suddenly it's like, you know, I started it.

02:02:54.000 So, it is a shame.

02:02:56.000 Because, you know, here's somebody... James was never an incredible intellect.

02:02:59.000 He was never a towering intellect.

02:03:01.000 And he was never really an extremely charismatic person.

02:03:05.000 But what he had going for him was that he was a good presenter.

02:03:07.000 He had like a good radio voice.

02:03:09.000 And when it came to his channel, he worked hard and he made good content.

02:03:12.000 And he knew the formula.

02:03:15.000 Right?

02:03:16.000 But...

02:03:18.000 At the end of the day, we may be able to utilize somebody like that.

02:03:22.000 Maybe that person's not going to be the leader or that person's not even going to be whatever.

02:03:27.000 But, you know, I don't know.

02:03:30.000 I don't know what his problem was.

02:03:31.000 He wanted to fit in with the cool crowd or something.

02:03:34.000 That's the problem with a lot of these people.

02:03:36.000 At the end of the day, they're not willing to do whatever it takes to win.

02:03:40.000 They have other priorities.

02:03:42.000 Their priorities may be, and I'm not talking about James specifically, but just generally about the alt-right, their priorities might be booze or sex, or their priorities might be career, you know, for maybe people in conservative ink, or their priorities might be, you know, social affirmation.

02:03:58.000 They want people to like them.

02:04:00.000 And for a long time, in like the dissonant right, if you were not being the most offensive, obnoxious, 0.96

02:04:07.000 Like Wignatt, then people would call you a cuck.

02:04:10.000 And people are more interested in the dopamine from getting retweets about being the edgiest guy in the room than actually moving the ball forward.

02:04:17.000 And I think that's a classic case of what James Alsup is, something like that, where there was a priority that was other than doing whatever it takes to win.

02:04:25.000 And that doesn't, you know, doing whatever it takes to win means that you're willing to do whatever it takes.

02:04:29.000 Put your ego aside.

02:04:31.000 Put what you want aside.

02:04:32.000 Put a lot of that aside and just focus on moving the ball forward at any cost.

02:04:39.000 And he didn't want to do that.

02:04:40.000 He wanted to be edgy.

02:04:41.000 I wanted to host Fascination with Jazz Hands McFeels and we're riding shotgun on Fascination and send in some donations and we're gonna have pool parties. 0.86

02:04:52.000 It's like, you know, it's

02:04:54.000 What are we really doing here?

02:04:56.000 But folks, what are we doing here?

02:04:57.000 And everybody hated me in the alt-right because when I came on the scene, I said, hey, who's actually interested in finding pragmatic ways to change the zeitgeist?

02:05:07.000 Who's actually interested in pragmatic ways to change our circumstance? 0.99

02:05:12.000 And I said, this isn't working, and that's stupid, and you don't know what you're doing, and people didn't like that. 0.99

02:05:18.000 Because they wanted their social club, 0.99

02:05:21.000 At the expense of progress.

02:05:23.000 And I came in and basically called them out.

02:05:25.000 And in defense of their little club, they said, oh, you're a countersignal or you're a whatever.

02:05:31.000 You're fighting with the movement.

02:05:34.000 You can't get along with anybody.

02:05:35.000 You're a bridge burner. 1.00

02:05:36.000 I said, OK, fuck you. 1.00

02:05:38.000 I'll go do my own thing, and I'll show you. 1.00

02:05:41.000 And I'll be in my lane, and you'll be in your lane, and we'll see who makes it to the finish line.

02:05:45.000 And here we are.

02:05:48.000 And I don't have an ego about it.

02:05:49.000 If people come to me and they say, you know, it's not just anybody, I'm not going to take advice from randoms, but people that are not in this and people that should have no reason to take their advice, but if I get advice from a trusted person or somebody who's been in this or somebody who has experience, I take it seriously and I adjust.

02:06:07.000 And I've been doing that for years and I seriously did for a long time and I still do.

02:06:12.000 But a lot of these people are incapable of growing.

02:06:14.000 They can't take criticism.

02:06:15.000 They're not adaptable.

02:06:16.000 They're not anti-fragile.

02:06:18.000 So it is terrible to see people that are talented, or maybe get it a little bit, but they get caught up.

02:06:25.000 And they get caught up in jealousy, or they get caught up in whatever, but yeah, it's a shame, it's a shame.

02:06:31.000 We were friends.

02:06:32.000 I thought we were friends last summer, and then he wants to talk behind my back.

02:06:35.000 That's not an honorable thing to do.

02:06:37.000 Wiffle says, here I took this off my mom's engagement ring.

02:06:41.000 Oh, one dollar?

02:06:42.000 Thanks.

02:06:43.000 Oh, the diamond.

02:06:45.000 The diamond, I get it.

02:06:46.000 He took the diamond.

02:06:47.000 But it's, okay, I see.

02:06:49.000 That's pretty funny.

02:06:51.000 Jesse says, cause dodgeball is violent, they're trying to make us sissy.

02:06:54.000 That's true.

02:06:56.000 It's true.

02:06:57.000 Which dodgeball was the most fun because it's like, let's just throw balls at each other, you know?

02:07:02.000 Forget all this, you know, beating around the bush with kickball or football.

02:07:07.000 Let's just try and hurt each other. 1.00

02:07:09.000 Let me just try and whip this ball at your head. 1.00

02:07:11.000 We're good to go!

02:07:32.000 All my friends and I were into WWE, you know?

02:07:36.000 And when I told you about amateur wrestling, that was one thing.

02:07:40.000 But whenever we'd get together, when we were in like 6th or 5th grade, whatever, we'd all, what we would do, the parents would be downstairs or they'd be upstairs, you know, if we were in the basement or in whatever.

02:07:51.000 and uh we would quietly set up the ring you know we put up the pillows and and you know we would set up the ring and we would do matches and we would wrestle and you know other people jump in and you beat the shit out of each other that's what you do when you're like a kid and i understand the concern because if you're doing like

02:08:08.000 If you do a stone-cold stunner on somebody, you're gonna like break their neck, but to an extent, that's what boys do.

02:08:14.000 They fight.

02:08:15.000 They roughhouse.

02:08:16.000 It's conflict.

02:08:17.000 But I remember growing up, you know, it'd always be, oh, you can't roughhouse, you can't do that, you can't do this, you can't do whatever, and you can't play dodgeball, and you can't do this, and...

02:08:28.000 Then they turn you into like this pariah, you know Then you feel like I remember going up in school and feeling like I was this this bad guy because I was just a normal boy You know because I was just sort of you know, whatever Because you had that natural aggression or competitiveness or you?

02:08:49.000 You know we're a little bit

02:08:52.000 What is the word?

02:08:52.000 Hyper, you know.

02:08:54.000 They expect that everybody's gonna sit nicely with their hands in their lap and raise their hand and color inside the lines.

02:08:59.000 And if you do anything other than that, then you're, oh, you gotta, here's your green slip.

02:09:04.000 Go to the principal's office.

02:09:05.000 Here's the, you know, you're in trouble.

02:09:06.000 You're in big trouble.

02:09:08.000 You have to step outside, you know.

02:09:10.000 And they don't reward people that are, you know, maybe learning or...

02:09:16.000 Innovating in a different way.

02:09:17.000 Yeah, I remember that.

02:09:19.000 It was good times, man.

02:09:26.000 I love that game.

02:09:27.000 I like 2008 a little better, because in SmackDown Vs. Raw 2007, you can only run in straight lines, is what I remember about that.

02:09:37.000 In SmackDown Vs. Raw 2008, you can run in circles.

02:09:40.000 There are just a lot of better features starting in 2008, but I think I played 7, 8, 9, and 10.

02:09:48.000 I own all the SmackDown Vs. Raw games up until 2010, but I mainly played 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010.

02:09:56.000 But yeah, that was, I remember going after school to my friend's house and he had this little TV on top of his, he had like one of those, not an armoire, but one of those, like a desk and like shelves and stuff.

02:10:09.000 He had like a little TV on top of this thing in his bedroom and we would sit there and he'd be on the bed, I'd be on the computer chair and we'd play on this tiny TV playing Smackdown vs. Raw 2007.

02:10:21.000 Good times, good times back in the day.

02:10:24.000 And now, and now I'm an atomized, neat, socially distanced, socially isolated gamer.

02:10:33.000 Delphrix says, listen here, Jack, how do I open PDF?

02:10:36.000 No malarkey.

02:10:37.000 Okay, that's kind of stale at this point, but thanks for the Ninjagini. 0.92

02:10:40.000 Jesse says, my dad gave every staff of my school permission to whoop me silly.

02:10:45.000 Well, thanks for the Ninjagini.

02:10:46.000 I don't like that.

02:10:47.000 I don't like teachers hitting kids.

02:10:48.000 I don't think that's appropriate.

02:10:50.000 Globo Donos is conning versus America First with Nick.

02:10:53.000 They have no chance.

02:10:55.000 So true.

02:10:56.000 TKY says, any esoteric thoughts?

02:10:59.000 Any esoteric stories on nationalistic thoughts?

02:11:03.000 No.

02:11:04.000 Derek says, casual lemon hype Friday.

02:11:07.000 Thanks for the Ninjagini.

02:11:09.000 I don't like when people dream about me.

02:11:11.000 I find it to be disturbing, frankly.

02:11:13.000 I don't know what it is, but the idea that I am in somebody's dream...

02:11:28.000 Doing something.

02:11:30.000 I don't like that.

02:11:31.000 I don't like that you're making me do something in your mind.

02:11:35.000 Do you know what I mean?

02:11:35.000 Like that you're in your world.

02:11:38.000 You're imagining me doing something uncharacteristic.

02:11:41.000 I don't like that.

02:11:42.000 I'm me.

02:11:43.000 I get to decide what I do and I'm in the world.

02:11:47.000 I'm not in your world.

02:11:48.000 I don't want to be in your world.

02:11:50.000 I don't want to be doing whatever weird things you imagine me doing or uncharacteristic things or even normal things.

02:11:56.000 I don't like it.

02:11:57.000 I don't like when people, when people dream about me.

02:11:59.000 I don't like, I don't like hearing that.

02:12:01.000 I see a lot of that on Twitter.

02:12:02.000 People say, I had a dream about Nick Fuentes.

02:12:04.000 Keep me out of your dreams! 1.00

02:12:06.000 I don't belong there, alright?

02:12:08.000 Stop dreaming.

02:12:09.000 I don't like being a public figure that, it's almost like you become disassociated from yourself.

02:12:16.000 There's almost like people take stock, they take ownership of you in a weird way.

02:12:21.000 You know what I mean?

02:12:22.000 It's like, there's you, and then there's your internet you.

02:12:27.000 And it's not like I put on a persona, but you know what I mean.

02:12:31.000 There's like a perception and a reputation and there's like, there's a concept of Nick Fuentes which exists in the public consciousness, which is not me, Nick, in essence.

02:12:41.000 I don't like that one bit.

02:13:02.000 you know somebody that's rising in popularity or fame or whatever you want to call it it's like I'm struggling for that you know and I guess it's in a way you can just ignore that because I you know of course I just do what I do I do what I want to do but I can see where a lot of celebrities get that sort of rebelliousness you can't control me I'm not who you think I am because there is that that dissonance that conflict between sort of like yourself and your shadow self that is out there

02:13:29.000 That's why I relate to Kanye, actually.

02:13:31.000 You know, more fame, I only got wilder, that kind of thing.

02:13:37.000 I know that we're the new slaves.

02:13:39.000 You nibbas can't control me, right? 1.00

02:13:41.000 So...

02:13:43.000 that's uh that's how i feel that's how i feel sometimes uh josh says the cereal that runs the world is called juicy o's okay wow so funny bro lord maryland says model un is where the knife was forged it's true and i told my parents this i told them i said they're like you're spending too much time thinking about model un and not enough time on your schoolwork and i told them

02:14:06.000 Presciently I said the skills that I'm learning here are way more important than the skills.

02:14:10.000 I'm learning in school.

02:14:11.000 I said a model you got I'm learning about The things I'm interested in I'm learning about relationships I'm learning about like power diamond power dynamics and by relationships.

02:14:22.000 I don't mean like romantic or sexual relationships I mean like relating to people on a team and a competition in influence manipulation things like that

02:14:32.000 We're good to go.

02:14:48.000 Wisconsin Groyper says great content tonight King.

02:14:50.000 I just got my taxes back so I decided to share the wealth.

02:15:07.000 Snarf says, fan of your verbal assault on Degeneracy last night.

02:15:15.000 Wow.

02:15:15.000 Well, thank you very much.

02:15:16.000 I'm glad you enjoyed.

02:15:18.000 Thanks for the Ninjagini.

02:15:19.000 Somebody has to say it.

02:15:20.000 Degeneracy is gross and I hate it. 0.70

02:15:23.000 And it's not cool. 0.79

02:15:24.000 You know, it's, it's honestly just grosses me out.

02:15:26.000 Even in high school.

02:15:28.000 Uh, I, I had a really, really good friend in my junior year of high school and we're still friends, but we just don't talk as much.

02:15:35.000 Um,

02:15:36.000 But we were really good friends, and he got involved with some of my other friends, and they were big potheads, and he started smoking pot.

02:15:44.000 And every time that they got together, and I would hang out with them, but I would never smoke.

02:15:49.000 I've never smoked.

02:15:50.000 But every time that he got together with them, all he wanted to do was smoke.

02:15:54.000 Oh, when are we gonna go, you know, when are we gonna go smoke?

02:15:57.000 Are we gonna go outside?

02:15:58.000 Are we gonna go whatever?

02:15:59.000 Are we gonna go take a drive?

02:16:01.000 And it just was so disheartening to see.

02:16:04.000 I remember being so disappointed because here is somebody who I got along with and we were able to have a good time without that, you know, because he was with kind of a different crew and they drank a lot, but it was just a little different, different dynamic.

02:16:17.000 And, uh, you know, the idea that that was the only thing that was on their mind and that was the only way that we could have an enjoyable night was if they were going to go and get high.

02:16:26.000 It was just like,

02:16:28.000 I don't know. 0.99

02:16:46.000 I felt like Obi-Wan Kenobi, you know, and so then I started to, you know, then I started to be a real jerk. 0.97

02:16:53.000 But it was deserved, so. 0.96

02:16:55.000 But thanks for the Ninjagini.

02:16:57.000 Jaden McNeil says, good morning!

02:16:59.000 Good morning, Jaden!

02:18:07.000 I don't know.

02:18:09.000 I'm not really going for the, you know, flamboyant.

02:18:13.000 I'm not really going for that.

02:18:14.000 I'm going for something, you know, cool but more conservative.

02:18:17.000 Something a little bit younger too, you know.

02:18:20.000 Milo's like, what, 30 or something? 0.99

02:18:22.000 So, I'm also going for something a little bit younger and a little bit more conservative.

02:18:27.000 So, I'll have to hit up somebody on TikTok maybe.

02:18:31.000 Dresden says aloe vera gel makes a great natural hair gel.

02:18:35.000 Is that true?

02:18:37.000 Big if true.

02:18:38.000 Archer says, people trying to dox you with $100 superchats at LMAO.

02:18:42.000 Yeah, right, they're trying to dox with the security questions.

02:18:46.000 Groyper says, don't shave your head.

02:18:47.000 Yeah, no worries about that.

02:18:49.000 BasedGroyper says, $2 trillion divided by 150 million workers is $13,000.

02:18:55.000 Yeah, well, I mean, they have to bail out other people, too.

02:18:58.000 You know, they do have to bail out the big industries.

02:19:00.000 I'm not saying that they shouldn't have, but the balance should have been different.

02:19:05.000 Delphrix says, my first night superchatting.

02:19:07.000 Addiction?

02:19:09.000 I don't know what that means.

02:19:11.000 You're addicted to super chatting?

02:19:12.000 Is that what you mean?

02:19:14.000 Dresden says New England is the little Europe or Anglo town of the U.S.

02:19:18.000 Yeah, very true.

02:19:20.000 Shire checks says mods are good boys.

02:19:22.000 Yep.

02:19:26.000 I don't.

02:19:28.000 I don't think I'm going to move there though, but I do like it.

02:19:31.000 I don't believe that's true.

02:19:32.000 Oh, is that so?

02:20:01.000 She wouldn't let me and my sister roughhouse. 0.99

02:20:05.000 Oh yeah, we couldn't roughhouse. 0.85
