00:40:41.000We were talking for a while, and he said, You better not get bored with coronavirus yet because this is going to be our lives now for the next few months.
00:41:17.000This screen right now will be in the corner of the screen, and I'll be looking at charts and graphs, and we'll be doing kind of like how I do for my gaming streams, or like how we did for the election coverage last week.
00:41:32.000Just a thought, just a little, just an idea I'm throwing out there, just brainstorming.
00:41:37.000Because I'm thinking, you know, the coverage on this show will largely be coronavirus coverage, at least for the next couple of weeks.
00:41:46.000And who knows, it could be even further than that into the months.
00:41:48.000We don't know what the arc will look like, what the duration of the virus will look like in this country.
00:41:55.000So I'm just tossing out some ideas about maybe how we can switch it up a little bit and kind of accommodate the change in tone, the change in subject matter.
00:42:05.000I looked online on Amazon to see if I could get a.
00:42:57.000But it's serious, but you can't find this stuff.
00:42:59.000But I am thinking we might change it up a little bit to make it fun.
00:43:03.000I got to tell you, and that'll be our show tonight.
00:43:05.000We're going to talk about everything that's been going on.
00:43:09.000Obviously, yesterday was President Trump's national address, televised address from the Oval Office, where he announced a travel ban on Europe, excluding the United Kingdom.
00:43:20.000And he announced some fiscal stimulus measures, which have not yet gone into effect, I don't believe, not entirely.
00:43:29.000So that was the big show yesterday, and now we've seen the fallout from that today in the stock market.
00:43:39.000This is the biggest fall for the stock market since 1987.
00:43:43.000Largest loss in a single day since 1987.
00:43:49.000And I saw Business Insider reported that we have wiped out all the value that the stock market has gained since the 2016 election, it has been wiped out $11 trillion in value.
00:45:20.000Number one, you got to remember who has the highest risk of contracting the virus and then having serious complications from the virus.
00:45:29.000It's people over the age of 60 and people with serious health complications.
00:45:37.000In their 20s, teens, and 30s, you know, at the maximum.
00:45:41.000We've got very few people that are really over the age of 30 or 40 watching the show, so probably most of you don't have to worry too much about yourselves.
00:45:49.000Health complications, obviously, that could be any age, but that is the segment of the population that is most affected.
00:45:57.000But if you don't want to get the virus, and nobody should get the virus, it's a pretty nasty thing from what I've been reading, even people that have mild symptoms, it can do some pretty serious damage to lungs, kidneys.
00:46:16.000And the way to not get the virus is pretty simple.
00:46:19.000You know, again, the way that it spread is through droplets.
00:46:22.000So, generally speaking, although it's possible to contract the virus from surfaces that have been touched by people that have the virus, the main way that it's spreading is if somebody is talking to you, if somebody shakes your hands, it's these droplets.
00:46:37.000That's sweat, saliva, mucus, anything like that.
00:46:40.000From an infected person, if that gets in your mouth, eyes, nose, ears, etc., that's the main way it is being transmitted.
00:46:48.000So, the easiest way to avoid the virus is to avoid people as much as possible.
00:46:52.000Avoid people, and if you do have to interact with people, maintain social distancing, which is at least six feet away from other people, and definitely not shaking hands, definitely not any kind of that intimate physical contact.
00:47:15.000So, I know it's easy for people to get scared or panic or whatever.
00:47:20.000But again, a lot of the precautions that are being put in place at the state and the national level, they're being put in place.
00:47:27.000I mean, it is to stop the transmission of the virus, but largely it is to prevent the overburdening of the hospitals.
00:47:35.000That's the main reason why they're doing it.
00:47:37.000If they act aggressively now, and I'll get into this more in a moment, but if they act aggressively now to quarantine and to stop the public gatherings and to shut people down, well, that will slow the transmission of the virus so that.
00:47:52.000If the pandemic spreads out over a long period of time, hospitals and clinics and healthcare resources are able to be spread out over time and not as overburdened as if everybody got it all at once.
00:48:06.000Which, and I'll explain more on that in a moment when we get into everything.
00:48:10.000But, you know, aside from that, aside from the panic and the scary parts of it, I got to tell you, I'm kind of, is it sick to say that I'm kind of enjoying it?
00:48:18.000I'm obviously not enjoying that people are dying.
00:48:23.000I don't enjoy that people are getting sick.
00:48:24.000I don't enjoy that people are losing a lot of money.
00:48:27.000For a lot of people, that's a serious cause of stress.
00:48:30.000What I am enjoying, though, is kind of the coziness, the comfort.
00:48:35.000I don't know about you, maybe this is my neat, maybe this is my inner autism, but it almost feels like a fulfillment of my natural inclinations that have been with me for my entire life.
00:48:47.000The idea of not leaving the house, we're hunkered down, we're chilling out, we're in the basement.
00:48:54.000We got our snacks, we got our water, it's all here.
00:50:12.000All the wages, all the school goers, the students, the classmates, the proverbial classmate, they're all out there struggling and got their backpacks on and shaking hands and hand sanitizer and so on.
00:52:21.000Of the coronavirus worldwide, 4,967 deaths worldwide.
00:52:28.000We've got 80,793 cases in China, 15,113 cases in Italy, 10,075 cases in Iran, 7,869 in South Korea, 3,059 in Spain, 2,876 in France, 2,512 in Germany, 1,336 in the United States.
00:52:57.000854 in Switzerland, 800 in Norway, 691 in Japan, 687 in Sweden, 617 in Denmark, 614 in the Netherlands, 456 in the UK, 314 in Belgium, 302 in Austria.
00:53:14.000I guess 300 will be our cutoff for however many countries we read.
00:53:19.000It is spreading rapidly in Europe, it is spreading rapidly in the United States, in Italy, which is now the biggest hotspot outside of China.
00:53:30.000As I said, and then now all these other major European countries are reporting more than 2,000 cases each.
00:53:36.000Spain broke 3,000 today, so it is getting all over the place.
00:53:41.000And a few notes on our numbers here, with the United States in particular.
00:53:46.000I almost don't even think it is worthwhile to read the official number because, as I said, the official number of cases in the United States is 1,336, which is bullshit.
00:53:58.000There are not 1,336 cases in the United States.
00:54:17.000It says they're actually citing the Atlantic.
00:54:20.000The BBC says that the Atlantic, which is running a project to track the number of tests being conducted, estimates that about 8,000 people have been tested.
00:54:30.000Meanwhile, lawmakers went to a briefing with health officials, told Political that fewer than 10,000 Americans had been tested.
00:54:37.000So, we're looking at the testing numbers.
00:54:40.000What that tells us is that if only 8,000 people have been tested, there's a country of 330 million.
00:54:49.000You've got 15,000 confirmed cases in Italy, 7,800 confirmed cases in South Korea.
00:54:56.000We have tested as many people as have been confirmed in countries that are a fraction of the size of the United States, to give you an idea.
00:55:04.000There are estimates in this country that we are at around 9,000 cases.
00:55:10.000I saw there was one estimate where they run a model through computers.
00:55:14.000They run a simulation based on the people that have been tested and confirmed so far, and then based on how many people they might have come into contact with.
00:55:24.000It estimates a lot of these variables based on the information we do have.
00:55:29.000And they say, according to this one computer model, that there could be between 1,000 and 9,000 confirmed cases.
00:55:36.000So, anywhere between the amount of people that they've confirmed and that they're telling us and upwards of 10,000 people, possibly more.
00:55:43.000I will say there was a pretty jarring statement put out today from the Ohio state government.
00:55:50.000This is an article from a local source in Ohio.
00:55:53.000It says a top health official in Ohio estimated today that more than 100,000 people in the state have coronavirus, a shockingly high number that underscores the limited testing so far.
00:56:06.000Ohio Department of Health Director Amy Acton.
00:56:09.000Said at a press conference alongside Governor Mike DeWine that given the virus is spreading in the community in Ohio, she estimates at least 1% of the population has the virus.
00:56:21.000She said, We know now just the fact of community spread says that at least 1%, at the very least 1% of our population is carrying this virus in Ohio today.
00:56:33.000She said, We have 11.7 million people.
00:57:45.000We can safely say, That there are probably something like 9,000, 10,000 people that have the virus, and it could be many, many more thousand than that.
00:57:58.000We can estimate, we can run computer models, we can guess, we can look at the numbers we have.
00:58:05.000We have no idea because we've only tested again, and there are even, funnily enough, there's not even a good number on how many people that we've tested because of the nature of our healthcare system.
00:58:18.000You've got tests that are being administered by public health facilities and healthcare providers and all that.
00:58:24.000And you've got private entities that are doing tests.
00:58:28.000And so, because there are private entities doing tests that we don't know about, and because the extent of the public tests being carried out, we don't know about, we don't have any clear numbers.
00:58:38.000We have estimates about the number of tests that are being administered.
00:58:42.000We don't even know how many tests are being administered.
00:58:45.000You think we have any idea how many people have been tested and confirmed, and we know have the virus?
00:58:50.000We have not even begun to tackle this problem.
00:58:54.000And that is what I want to stress this week.
00:58:56.000If I stress nothing else this week, It's that this is not even the beginning.
00:59:01.000You know, if you've got this virus that is sweeping through the country and it's being transmitted and people are catching it and people are asymptomatic still and so on, we have not even begun to respond to this epidemic.
00:59:16.000That means that you're building up clinics, that means you're building up testing facilities, that means that you're making healthcare resources available across the country.
00:59:24.000And that means things like testing kits, that means all kinds of things, resources like masks and whatever else is necessary for.
00:59:34.000We have not even begun the rollout for the monumental healthcare effort, the mobilization that is the critical word.
00:59:42.000We have not even begun the mobilization of resources and personnel and infrastructure to begin testing and to begin treating and all the rest that is entailed.
00:59:52.000So, this virus is really just going across the country quickly and rapidly, and we are only now beginning to mobilize a response.
01:00:03.000And so, when you think about these kinds of numbers, like in Italy, for example.
01:00:07.000Last week in Italy, you had 2,000 cases.
01:00:34.000So, things are going to get much, much, much worse.
01:00:37.000In the country, in terms of resources being overburdened, in terms of people getting sick.
01:00:43.000And it's not even so much that we don't have sick people now, it's just we don't know how many there are.
01:00:47.000So, as we begin to test people, we'll be able to see the extent of the problem and it will continue to spread as that happens.
01:00:56.000I mean, that's just what I want to impress upon you time is of the essence here.
01:01:01.000It is spreading so quickly and we're only getting our act together now.
01:01:05.000So, while we're mobilizing, it's getting worse rapidly every day.
01:01:10.000That's the reality of what we're talking about right now.
01:01:13.000So we may come at it in three weeks, you know, three weeks from now, and we might say it's contained.
01:01:19.000In three weeks, we might be where South Korea is at now.
01:01:23.000And South Korea still has the third highest number of cases outside of, well, in the world, the second highest number of cases outside of China.
01:01:32.000I'm sorry, it is the third outside of China.
01:01:34.000There it's China, Italy, Iran, and then South Korea.
01:01:37.000You know, even though they have it stabilized and the numbers are slowing down and they're testing people and People are being treated, they still have a lot of cases.
01:02:37.000So something like 8,000 to 10,000 tests have been carried out.
01:02:41.000And we also have some future projections as well.
01:02:44.000This is from a Washington Post article.
01:02:46.000It says Some of the projections for coronavirus' spread in the United States have been grave.
01:02:52.000A forecast produced last month by Professor James Lawler of the University of Nebraska Medical Center on behalf of the American Hospital Association, for example, put the potential death toll at hundreds of thousands if efforts to mitigate the epidemic fail.
01:03:09.000So, this is a pretty serious estimate that they're saying that hundreds of thousands could die.
01:03:15.000And if hundreds of thousands are dying, the death rate for this toll, they say, is what do they say it is?
01:03:24.000It seems like it might be as high as 6%, actually, if you look at some of these countries, but really nobody knows.
01:03:31.000So, in any case, if the death rate is 3% or if it's 6%, if hundreds of thousands of people are dying in the United States, that means millions of people are going to get infected, right?
01:03:45.000Another forecast developed by former CDC director Tom Frieden at the nonprofit organization Resolve to Save Lives.
01:03:54.000Found that deaths in the United States could range widely depending on what percentage of the population becomes infected and how lethal the disease proves to be.
01:04:03.000Frieden, who oversaw the U.S. response to the H1N1 pandemic, the Ebola pandemic, and the Zika epidemic, says that in a worst case scenario, but one that is not implausible, half the U.S. population would become infected and more than 1 million people would die.
01:04:21.000That's the worst case scenario, is half the population, 65 million people would be infected and more than a million would die.
01:04:31.000So people are saying it's the flu, it's the flu, it's no big deal.
01:05:38.000I also want to get into the testing and sort of the why here and an explanation for what's going on.
01:05:44.000There's a pretty good article about this because I've been talking to a lot of people about the virus, and people are wondering why it is so bad with the testing.
01:05:52.000That is the biggest single variable, as I've been saying.
01:05:55.000When you look at the testing per million people in South Korea, it's in the thousands.
01:07:20.000But when that Biological material is collected, it is sent to laboratories.
01:07:26.000And what is happening now is, I guess we don't have a personnel that are logging and manually running through these tissues or the specimen and sending out the results.
01:07:35.000The problem is the personnel in these laboratories where the samples and the specimen are being sent to.
01:07:41.000That's where the shortage is happening.
01:07:43.000And I'll read you this is a little bit more information about this.
01:07:46.000It says, As of Thursday afternoon, the CDC and prevention reported 1260.
01:07:52.000U.S. illnesses, these numbers are not up to date, a number that trailed independent researchers who are adding reports from individual states more quickly.
01:08:01.000But some experts believe any number based on test results of individual patients is a dramatic undercount.
01:08:16.000Okay, 9,000 two weeks ago, to give you an idea.
01:08:20.000There are no official numbers from the federal government on the country's overall testing capacity.
01:08:25.000One of the only comprehensive estimates comes from Dr. Scott Gottlieb, the former FDA commissioner who is now a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.
01:08:34.000As of Thursday, his group estimated U.S. labs could process results for more than 20,000 patients per day.
01:08:42.000The figure is based on a combination of publicly reported information and historical estimates from government, private, and academic labs.
01:08:49.000It reflects the total number of patient results that could be processed in a day, not the current number being run.
01:08:58.000A country which is one sixth the size of the United States in population is reportedly testing 15,000 people per day.
01:09:06.000So we could, if we maxed it out, our capacity is 20,000 tests per day.
01:09:14.000South Korea is doing 15,000 per day, which obviously 20,000 is more than 15,000, but we have six times the population.
01:09:21.000And we don't have the capacity to run six times the amount of tests.
01:09:24.000We have the capacity to run, what would that be, 130% of the tests as opposed to 600.
01:09:30.000It says CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield noted that officials there are using automated high volume testing systems capable of processing thousands of samples at a time.
01:09:46.000In contrast, the equipment used by most U.S. state and local labs requires technicians to manually process each sample in small batches, sometimes 100 or fewer per day.
01:09:58.000So that's the bottleneck the technicians, the personnel required to manually process the samples.
01:10:04.000In smaller batches, as opposed to having all of the material processed, thousands of them at a time using technology.
01:10:20.000The idea of our healthcare system with all the bureaucracy, all the regulations, the paperwork, this dissonance between public and private entities, and then add to that the fact that it's dated, that we don't have the technology to process all the tests, and then think about what that looks like for treatment.
01:10:42.000The idea of what we're going to go through as a nation in the next couple of months, it is.
01:10:46.000It is pretty spooky, pretty scary stuff.
01:10:49.000But that's where we are in terms of the numbers.
01:10:53.000That's why I don't trust the confirmed numbers, and you shouldn't either.
01:10:56.000You see 1,300 cases on the news, and you should say that it is at least, it is at the bare minimum, 10 times that.
01:11:06.000So if they say 1,300 cases, okay, well, at minimum, there's 13,000 cases in the United States, and probably double that.
01:11:14.000You know, it probably could be as 20,000, 25,000.
01:11:16.000We have no idea, you know, and it'll get worse every day.
01:11:52.000And when we saw in Italy that the whole country shut down, I think I said on Monday or maybe even Friday, I said, this is what you're going to see in the United States mass closures, curfew, et cetera.
01:12:07.000Now all states are issuing guidances to avoid public gatherings, sporting events, TV shows, all the rest, and I'll go through the list.
01:12:16.000So in New York City, they're shutting it down.
01:12:20.000New York Times reports that Broadway, this is from New York Times, it's this quote.
01:12:25.000Broadway will go dark for at least a month beginning on Thursday after Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York announced restrictions on public gatherings, an extraordinary step to fight the growing outbreak of the virus.
01:12:37.000Under the guidance announced by Mr. Cuomo, most gatherings of more than 500 people will be banned.
01:12:42.000Smaller gatherings will still be allowed, but restaurants, bars, and other venues with capacities of fewer than 500 people must cut their occupancy by half.
01:12:53.000So if you have a A restaurant, a club, anything like that in New York City that has the capacity to have more than 500 people, they're shutting it down.
01:13:04.000And even the restaurants with less than 500, they have to have their occupancy by half.
01:13:08.000So if you have a venue with 500 people, then only 250 people can show up if people are even going out anymore, right?
01:13:20.000In Washington, Jay Inslee, the governor, banned events with more than 250 people in the state's three largest counties.
01:13:29.000In California, California health officials said all public gatherings should be postponed or canceled until at least the end of March.
01:13:38.000Non essential gatherings should be limited to fewer than 250 people, and gatherings including high risk individuals should be limited to up to 10 people, while also following social distancing guidelines.
01:13:51.000On top of that, the president said he is considering restrictions to Washington and California, travel restrictions within the United States to Washington and California.
01:14:02.000In Maryland, the state of Maryland closed public schools for two weeks starting on Monday, and Governor Larry Hogan imposed broad restrictions, including a ban on gatherings of 250 people or more.
01:14:15.000In Ohio, the Ohio Department of Health has banned mass gatherings of over 100 people, while the state suspends schools for three weeks.
01:14:24.000In Oregon, Oregon Governor Kate Brown announced all gatherings of 250 or more people will be canceled.
01:14:31.000As will non essential school related gatherings like parent meetings and field trips for four weeks.
01:14:37.000In New Mexico, New Mexico is banning gatherings of 100 people or more in a single room.
01:14:42.000And these were only the ones I could compile.
01:14:44.000I think there are probably similar guidelines across the country in almost every state, but these are the ones that I found doing my notes.
01:14:53.000It's safe to say that this will happen in probably all 50 states, that they will issue similar guidances banning public gatherings of 100, 250, or maybe even greater numbers.
01:15:05.000More than that, In a single room or in a single gathering, social distancing.
01:15:10.000I'm sure school closures will follow for public schools, and that's like K 12 schooling.
01:17:53.000And so we could think of a scenario as soon as next week where the only places that will be open, the only public places that you could go to, are going to be a hospital, a pharmacy, a grocery store, and a subway.
01:18:24.000The first containment zone that I announced, I think I did a show on Tuesday.
01:18:29.000We talked about the first containment zone that was established in the first school.
01:18:33.000It was Tuesday that we talked about New Rochelle, a suburb of New York City, which said there was going to be a one mile radius containment zone, and they were just going to send in the National Guard to shut down public gatherings, but that was it.
01:19:34.000And think of the timeline, how quickly that went.
01:19:36.000It'll have been a matter of something like 10 days that we went from nothing being shut down to the only thing that's open is your grocery store, your pharmacy, your bank, and the bus stop.
01:19:49.000And that's, you know, that's pretty scary stuff.
01:20:17.000Because I don't know, in a week, might not be so lucky, might not be able to find things.
01:20:24.000Because the problem is, now you're going to see the whole economy break down.
01:20:29.000If nobody's buying anything, if nobody's going out, what do you think is going to happen to the economy?
01:20:35.000What do you think is going to happen to people's wages?
01:20:38.000Not a lot of people are able to just go out and buy a week's worth or four weeks' worth of food and supplies and so on without getting a paycheck, right?
01:20:54.000How are all these different people going to get paid?
01:20:58.000If a good percentage of the economy is just going to be shut down for two, three, four weeks, how many people are ready for something like that?
01:21:05.000This is going to be very, very bad if you did not prepare, if you did not plan it out for something like this.
01:21:25.000It says stocks continued their plunge on Thursday as President Trump's latest effort to address the coronavirus outbreak disappointed investors who had been waiting for Washington to take steps to bolster the economy.
01:21:38.000Trading was turbulent, with stocks staging a brief comeback.
01:21:44.000As investors reached to the Federal Reserve's, or rather reacted to the Federal Reserve's decision to offer at least $1.5 trillion worth of loans to banks to help smooth out the functioning of the financial markets.
01:21:57.000But the selling picked up again by mid afternoon.
01:21:59.000So I don't know if you were watching the markets at all.
01:22:48.000I mean, it's not funny, obviously, in some ways, but in another way, it is kind of funny that they think that they're going to print their money.
01:22:55.000They think that we're going to print our way out of this recession.
01:22:59.000We're going to print our way out of this.
01:23:12.000Let's just throw it all in there all at once.
01:23:14.000And it made people stop selling for like a minute, right?
01:23:18.000For like an hour, and then it continued to crash through the floor.
01:23:23.000SP closed down about 9.5%, its biggest daily drop since the stock market crash in 1987 on what came to be known as Black Monday.
01:23:33.000The decline has left stocks in the United States firmly in a bear market, a term that signifies a decline of 20% from the most recent highs.
01:23:42.000For the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the drop of 10% was also its worst day since the 1987 stock market crash.
01:23:51.000The total market cap of the U.S. equities market.
01:23:55.000As measured by the Russell 3000 index, it has declined by $11.5 trillion from its February 19th peak to $23.8 trillion as of Thursday morning.
01:24:08.000The current market cap is roughly equal to the size of the stock market when Donald Trump emerged victorious in the 2016 election.
01:24:16.000So, all these stock market gains, roaring economy, record high, Dow Jones, right, all wiped out in a matter of Two weeks.
01:26:37.000It's been a long time since something bad has happened in the country, and people forget the extent to which we have no control over our own destinies.
01:26:46.000A lot of people think we can make plans, and we can to an extent.
01:26:50.000But only insofar as something like this is not happening, and you never know, and it's not under our control.
01:26:55.000In a globalized society, in particular, in a globalized society, the amount of control that we have over our lives is minuscule.
01:27:05.000You know, to think about it proportionally speaking, in terms of the amount of people and the amount of decisions that are made, we have virtually no control over our lives.
01:27:15.000You know, I'm taking a little bit of a page here from Ted Kaczynski.
01:27:20.000When you think about our lives 100 years ago, 200 years ago, Certainly, there were unforeseen circumstances.
01:27:27.000Drought, plague, things of this nature.
01:27:32.000And you could go back further than that.
01:27:34.000You could go back tens of thousands of years when we were hunter gatherers, right, or whatever.
01:27:40.000Again, it's not that we ever had complete control over our environment, but the things that were risky to us, there are ways for us to prepare.
01:27:50.000In this society, there are so many things that happen to us that we have no control over.
01:27:56.000Every day, We are subject to forces completely beyond our control that can completely change our entire lives.
01:28:06.000I almost imagine like a small child on the beach.
01:28:11.000I imagine a small child or a dog or something on the beach and just being hit by wave after wave.
01:28:17.000This is what our lives are like in a globalized society.
01:28:20.000Wave after wave, we're hit by decisions and unforeseen consequences and circumstances, decisions and consequences that are the result of people.
01:28:31.000That we don't know, we'll never see people that are billionaires or millionaires or firm holders or politicians.
01:28:40.000The decisions in themselves are the consequences of those decisions, and we're subject to them every day.
01:28:45.000How much do we really control of our own lives?
01:28:48.000It's times like this when you really begin to question that.
01:28:51.000Because everybody who watches this show, I'm obviously a political guy, so I've been watching this coronavirus stuff for three months now, maybe even longer than that, right?
01:29:00.000I think the first cases were in like December or January in China.
01:29:04.000But I've been watching this stuff for a long time, and I've been thinking about it, and I've been planning and preparing and so on.
01:29:09.000But how many people watching this show have had their lives now disrupted by the virus?
01:29:22.000Everybody had all their plans lined up for what they were going to do maybe this month, and maybe in April, and maybe in May for the rest of the year.
01:29:53.000It's the beginning of the new decade, like anybody.
01:29:55.000He thought of all the plans he was going to have for this decade or for the new year, it's a new decade, and all the plans he was going to have for this spring and this summer, and then he got in a helicopter and it was all over.
01:30:26.000But the point I'm trying to convey to you is about plans, is about control, is about fate.
01:30:34.000People think that their whole life is under their control, you know?
01:30:38.000Sort of like this Joker mentality, trying to control their little worlds.
01:30:44.000And then something like this happens, and you realize how little control that you have.
01:30:48.000You realize how little we actually influence, how little we can actually take care of ourselves in a globalized world, and really in the world in general.
01:30:57.000Forget globalization, that exacerbates it, but that's a fact of our existence, even that notwithstanding, even the present transition towards globalism notwithstanding.
01:31:07.000So, something to think about, something to think about if you are religious, right?
01:31:13.000If you're a Christian, things like that.
01:31:15.000It's very important that it consider your mortality and the true will that triumphs throughout.
01:31:22.000You know, you may think it's my day, it's my day, tomorrow's my day, it's my plan.
01:32:04.000While everything else gets canceled, everything else changes, this will be a little bit of normalcy for your life.
01:32:12.000Everything else is changing around you, but the one thing that stays the same is you will be able to watch America First every weeknight, 7 o'clock Central Time sharp.
01:32:22.000And I'm sure that that will be a lot of comfort to a lot of people.
01:32:25.000Unironically, I'm saying that in a joking way, but it's totally true.
01:32:28.000You know, even the Tonight Show is being canceled.
01:32:30.000You won't be able to go out and see movies.
01:33:01.000Maybe a nightmare, a nightmarish like quality to it.
01:33:04.000The idea that everything is shutting down, it's unprecedented in modern times.
01:33:12.000So it's an historical moment, I have to say.
01:33:14.000You know, there is obviously the concern, but, you know, as a political person, as an observer of times, of the times, it is definitely something that is.
01:33:25.000An object of fascination and curiosity to me.
01:33:28.000And I hope everybody will be present and conscious through this because we'll be talking about this for the rest of our lives.
01:33:34.000If you're a young man now, you'll be telling your children about the coronavirus and when future pandemics hit us.
01:33:40.000Was it as bad as the coronavirus pandemic of 2020?
01:33:44.000I remember watching the coverage on America First.
01:36:33.000We live in an ahistorical time where for 40 years, we have not really, and I'm speaking Generally, so I don't want people to jump down my throat here, but we have generally not known hard times.
01:36:49.000And you might say, well, maybe you have.
01:36:54.000In 40 years, we have been living in a period of economic expansion, no major ground wars, no, like, I mean, 2008 was rough, but not like the 70s stagflation.
01:37:06.000And I'm speaking very generally, and you could even go back further than that, really not since World War II.
01:37:12.000Have you seen any, like, serious civilizational strife?
01:37:16.000And don't get me wrong, we've had problems.
01:37:18.000We've had recessions and we've had stagflation and we have had wars, you know, Vietnam and Iraq.
01:37:25.000You look at the 90s and epidemics and things like that, but generally speaking, since World War II, the level of suffering that we've seen is actually kind of ahistorical.
01:37:38.000You look at the plagues that preceded World War II, or droughts, or famines, or great wars, things like that.
01:37:46.000I mean, it's really an ahistorical time.
01:37:48.000And the past 30 years in particular, the past 30 years in particular, my entire lifetime and most of my friends' entire lifetimes, most of my friends are probably under the age of 35.
01:37:59.000We have not really known, and especially with the advent of technology and the internet, the level of comfort, convenience, ease, wealth, prosperity, completely ahistorical.
01:38:11.000And when people live through ahistorically good times, they tend to project this into the future.
01:38:57.000But yeah, yeah, people were pouncing on me.
01:38:59.000I don't know if you guys saw this on Twitter, but a couple of days ago, I made a remark about.
01:39:06.000Somebody was saying on Twitter or Instagram, somebody was saying that somebody was freaking out about Catholics that take communion in their hands.
01:39:16.000So, if you're not familiar, when you go to Catholic Church, I guess one of the main points of the Mass is that you receive the communion, right?
01:39:43.000But there's a big debate about whether when the priest gives you the host, does he put it in your hand and you take it in your hand and put it in your mouth?
01:39:53.000Or does the priest put it on your tongue for you, right?
01:39:56.000And in any case, I was talking about somebody who said, like, these outrageous comments.
01:40:03.000There was some guy, I think it was on Instagram, who was saying, if you take the host in your hands, this is as bad as sodomy.
01:40:15.000And my remarks a couple of days ago, I said, people like that are sick.
01:40:19.000People like that, and understand, and people pounce on this and seize on this, but the point I was making two days ago is that if you're somebody who is so, like, number one, trying to stir up division between Catholics, if you're attacking faithful Catholics who might have a disagreement with you or they practice their religion slightly different than you, if you bring to it that level of, I mean, it's really unserious.
01:40:50.000I mean, there's nothing Christ like about going about it that way.
01:40:53.000If you do it in that way, you're doing something wrong.
01:40:56.000You know, and that was the point I was making.
01:40:57.000That was one example I was making about a lot of traditional Catholics who are far more concerned about the performative aspects of piety than they are about actually being virtuous.
01:41:09.000They are far more concerned about the trappings, again, in being, posturing, and performing.
01:41:16.000As a traditionalist, than they are about actually being virtuous.
01:41:42.000But the problem is that if it's not oriented in the right way, if it's not inspired by the right thing, then it defeats the whole purpose.
01:41:49.000If you're not Christ like, but, you know, oh, but look at my brown scapular.
01:41:54.000It's like you're kind of missing the point.
01:41:55.000And that was the point I made a couple of days ago.
01:41:57.000And Dr. Taylor Marshall and all these other trad Catholics, these self appointed lay, I should add lay people, inquisitors, self appointed inquisitors, seize on that clip.
01:42:09.000They clipped this one minute part from my show.
01:42:11.000And Nick said traditional Catholics are sick.
01:42:15.000Nick said that the brown scapular is stupid.
01:42:18.000And Nick, I mean, just totally like lying and all this.
01:42:53.000But that is not what is happening with this certain group of self identified trads.
01:42:58.000What is instead happening is this weird, like, cultish cancel type thing where nothing's ever good enough, and it's just this dick measuring contest about, you know, who's gonna go the furthest and who's, oh, really?
01:43:13.000Well, I'm living like a 17th century Catholic.
01:43:40.000And that is what I was talking about on Tuesday, and they prove my point because they seize on something that I was saying and totally misrepresent it, which is a sin in itself, by the way.
01:43:49.000And I saw that Dr. Taylor Marshall did it, and I'm not surprised, actually, because I've heard a lot of bad things about Dr. Taylor Marshall from friends.
01:43:56.000And, you know, this guy, to me, doesn't, you know, and look, he might be a very smart guy, might be very educated, and that's great.
01:44:05.000You know, calumny and detraction and all these things, I don't think they're smiled upon by our Lord, if that's how we're going to play, right?
01:44:13.000And even from some friends, even, I hate to say, from some friends, I got some of this.
01:44:18.000I don't want to name any names, but yeah, even from, you know, a close friend, I'll say I had somebody, you know, with this self righteous attitude.
01:44:27.000It's really disappointing and it's really sad to see because that exactly proved the point I was trying to make.
01:44:33.000So, yeah, very ashamed of Dr. Taylor Marshall.
01:48:35.000I said, if you're more concerned about good faith Catholics receiving the host in the hand than you are about the satanic elite, then probably you're missing the point, right?
01:48:44.000And it's not to say that it's not an important debate, and it's not to say that I have strong feelings either way.
01:48:49.000I was raised taking the host in the hand.
01:48:51.000That's how I was raised, and I was even aware that there was a serious thing, right?
01:48:56.000But that was not fundamentally what the conversation was about.
01:49:02.000People that obviously have their priorities wrong and who are obviously not charitable towards their fellow Catholics.
01:49:09.000You know, if they're more concerned about this, I think not that it's not an important debate, but your priorities are wrong.
01:49:16.000And beyond that, if you are going to talk about that, by all means, you know, talk about the hand versus tongue debate, but you should be charitable and benevolent towards your fellow Catholics, right?
01:49:27.000And the person in question I was talking about was comparing receiving the host to sodomy, which is, I think anybody could acknowledge, sick.
01:50:54.000I'm not going to say it's a thankless job because, you know, I get thanked by a lot of people.
01:50:58.000You know, super chats are evidence of that.
01:51:00.000But, you know, you try to do the right thing.
01:51:04.000I've, you know, given my whole life to this fight, which is ultimately for God.
01:51:08.000I mean, what do you think fighting for what is right is all about?
01:51:10.000I mean, it's all oriented towards God.
01:51:14.000You know, you do all this, and, you know, not to say that I'm.
01:51:19.000Counting every good deed or anything like that.
01:51:22.000But you'd think, all I'm saying is, you'd think that I'm out here as like a vocal Catholic, as somebody that's vocally fighting against demons and vocally fighting against evil and all these terrible things that are happening compared to people like Charlie Kirk, even conservatives that are in favor of normalizing deviancy and sin and everything else.
01:51:40.000You'd think that at the bare minimum, I could count on these supposed trad Catholics to not be undercutting me and trying to cut me off at the knees and put me on blast and lie about me at every turn.
01:52:00.000If I was insincere in my belief, and that's what they're accusing me of, that's fundamentally what they're accusing me of, is being insincere in my belief.
01:52:07.000If that were the case, don't you think I would have packed it up by now and said, you know what, these Catholics, I fight for them and they don't even like me.
01:52:48.000A lot of people resent me because I am successful and talented.
01:52:52.000And I think that's largely what it comes down to.
01:52:55.000A lot of people have an axe to grind, they've got a bone to pick, they personally resent me, people that I've never met.
01:53:01.000And the only thing I can surmise from all of that is, you know, a lot of them are also streamers and content creators who aren't half as successful as me.
01:53:08.000And I imagine it would be frustrating to be somebody that is older than me and more educated than me and so on and not be as successful.
01:53:15.000But, you know, we should not be jealous, okay?
01:53:18.000I don't think that's very Christian either.
01:53:20.000So that's the only thing I can think of.
01:53:22.000Why else would people, you know, and it's, you know, it'd be one thing.
01:53:27.000I'm not saying why else would people criticize me.
01:53:29.000Everybody who criticizes me is jealous of me.
01:53:31.000I'm saying why else would people have this obsessive resentment for me when I've never interacted with them?
01:55:22.000So, what would make a big difference is what the president proposed the other day, which I think is smart payroll tax suspension and deferring taxes with the Treasury Department and small business loans.
01:55:38.000I think loans should just start giving out money.
01:55:41.000Don't inject the liquidity to the fucking banks, inject the liquidity to the people.
01:55:47.000Because what's going to happen is that people, Are going to have high medical bills.
01:55:52.000$75,000, they said you could be on the hook for with some of these people that are sick with coronavirus.
01:55:58.000So the big costs for people are going to come in the form of medical bills if you get sick and pharmaceuticals and things like that.
01:56:07.000Or it's going to be the cost of lost wages or lost revenue or things like that.
01:56:12.000And so what the government should do is just start giving out money.
01:56:15.000Until things are back to normal, they should just start giving out money.
01:58:50.000So many people fled Wuhan and they spread all across China and then they gave it to everyone in China.
01:58:56.000So that is one example of a lot of irresponsible measures that were put in place in the immediate aftermath of this epidemic starting in Wuhan.
01:59:10.000Yeah, they should be held accountable.
01:59:12.000And, you know, it could have been this virology laboratory in Wuhan.
02:02:37.000The MTV documentary, I did a Vice documentary, which the Vice documentary was produced last fall, fall 2018, and the people that made it got like fired, so it never got.
02:02:50.000The people that produced it at Vice lost their jobs, so they never published it.
02:02:55.000But those are the only two things I recall doing recently.
02:06:16.000But anyway, this guy, he was like elaborating about how he was radicalized, how he became alt right, and he was like, Well, I was basically got watched Stefan Molyneux and understood race realism, and that was the extent of it.
02:06:31.000It's like, dude, you weren't even red pilled.
02:06:32.000He was like, I was never really red pilled on Jewish people.
02:06:35.000Dude, it's like because you look Jewish.
02:09:38.000It said Hello, my name is Justin Sherman, and I am a freelance producer working with CBS News Originals on a documentary about political commentators online.
02:09:49.000We are hoping to feature Nicholas Fuentes in the documentary for a section about YouTube.
02:09:54.000Specifically, we are hoping to ask about gaining a following on YouTube, benefits the platform can provide.
02:10:00.000Issues with the platform, voices being banned from YouTube.
02:10:04.000Our hope is to do an on camera interview.
02:10:06.000Please let me know if I can answer any questions.
02:10:10.000That was the email that I received from CBS.
02:10:16.000And then, as I said, the description of the video, the title is Extremists Next Door.
02:10:22.000In recent years, gaming and anonymous social media sites are a breeding ground for right wing extremists, populated by mostly young men disenchanted with their place in society.
02:10:33.000These platforms have become spaces where hate is normalized and disaffected young people are susceptible to radicalization.
02:10:41.000CBSN Original's Adam Yamaguchi reports parents, activists, and even some former white nationalists are trying to find ways to stop it.
02:10:49.000But as much as the rhetoric is cropping up on the platforms, it's proving to be an uphill battle.
02:10:55.000So you see, and you know, not like this is a shocker, not like this is a big surprise to anybody how they operate, and this.
02:11:05.000Modus operandi, this is their MO every time.
02:11:09.000You know, they send out an email and ostensibly it's always an inquiry.
02:11:15.000Oh, we want to just see, we want to give you exposure.
02:12:11.000So, they can go and basically stab them in the back and turn it around on them and try to hurt their lives, hurt their livelihood, destroy their reputation, ultimately get them banned off YouTube.
02:12:21.000And then they're shocked, just shocked and appalled when people call them out for it while they're doing exactly what we say they're doing.
02:12:46.000These people invite these CBS types into their homes in good faith to have the conversation, to get exposure.
02:12:53.000Maybe they're stupid, maybe they're naive and gullible, but that doesn't make it right that you go into somebody's house and you collect them on camera and then you put this out there to defame them, especially when you lie about the pretenses under which you're going to be filming somebody.
02:29:22.000Spend any of my energy attacking Christians.
02:29:25.000I spend all of my energy attacking our enemy, which is the devil, which is deviants, it is, you know, pedophiles, people that support abortion, people that support all this sick stuff, corruption and sin.
02:29:41.000And, you know, I will comment occasionally about the divisions between Catholics and Protestants.
02:29:46.000I'm not going to say that I've never, you know, talked about why I'm Catholic versus Protestant or the flaws in Protestant theology, but.
02:29:54.000I think you'd be hard pressed to find me ever spending any time, really at all, attacking Protestants.
02:30:00.000And even when I talk about Protestantism, I'd like to think I'm fairly respectful of Protestants.
02:30:05.000I've never said anything that's like, you know, really offensive.
02:30:09.000All I say is, like, look, I don't think it's like a serious theology.
02:30:12.000I've never said that Protestants are, you know, they're just as bad as this.
02:30:16.000I've never said, you know, you're insincere, whatever.
02:30:21.000What I've always maintained is that, you know, we are all Christians and we all.
02:30:26.000Have a shared interest in fighting what's much worse out there, right?
02:30:43.000And don't get me wrong, if there were somebody out there that was like spreading falsehoods or lies or something as like a Christian, well, you would need to correct that person in good faith.
02:32:37.000When the coronavirus first came on the scene, there seemed to be a lot of circumstantial evidence that pointed to the theory that this could be not an organic happening, right?
02:32:48.000So I don't know if I can assign a probability to that, and I don't know if there's any facts supporting that, but it seems like there's a lot of evidence to suggest that maybe there's more to the story than they're letting on.
02:33:00.000That it didn't come from a wet market, that it didn't come from a bat, you know, that maybe it came from a lab.
02:33:27.000Holy Servant says, Can you explain the remain in Mexico policy?
02:33:34.000So the remain in Mexico policy is that if you are an asylum seeker, And you're seeking asylum in the United States, you have to wait for your case to be adjudicated on the other side of the border, on the Mexican side of the border.
02:33:48.000And I think that also applies to other people that are waiting to get into the country for various reasons.
02:33:54.000I think it's predominantly, and it's been a long time since I read about this, but I'm pretty sure it's predominantly for asylees or asylum seekers.
02:34:03.000And previously, if you were an asylum seeker, you would surrender at a port of entry and they would detain you for a short time while they adjudicate your case.
02:34:12.000And determine if you qualify for asylum.
02:34:15.000And the problem was, it takes a long time to determine if you qualify, and they couldn't detain people for longer than like a couple of weeks, you know, I think like 10 days at the most.
02:34:25.000And so, what they would have happen is because the space and the resources were being overwhelmed, they would just release these people into the country and say, well, just show up to court when we decide your case.
02:36:00.000So, Merthew says, sad to see so many Catholics trying to cancel you on Twitter today, but on the tongue is better.
02:36:07.000Well, thanks for the Ninjagini, but if you think that that's what I was talking about, then, I mean, you're just dumb.
02:36:13.000Frankly, you're just dumb if you think that that's what that's about.
02:36:16.000And this is the symptom of low IQ people that they cannot distinguish these kinds of things.
02:36:21.000The conversation was, look, If you're an intelligent person, then you understand that the conversation was not actually about whether it's better or worse to take the communion on your tongue or on your hand.
02:36:32.000That's really not what the conversation was about.
02:36:35.000That was an example that I was using to illustrate a broader point about where our priorities are as Catholics and how we're talking to or about other Catholics.
02:36:47.000Because I didn't say, what was it on Tuesday?
02:36:51.000I didn't say, well, I take it on the hand and this is why and I firmly believe this and so on.
02:36:58.000Frankly, if you want to know my opinion on the matter, I've received the Eucharist on my hand my entire life.
02:37:04.000That's simply how it's done in my church.
02:37:07.000They told us in CCD that it makes no difference, that you can get it on your hand or on your tongue.
02:38:26.000You're missing the forest for the trees here.
02:38:29.000The argument's completely going over your head.
02:38:32.000You know, you want to get into the weeds on this one issue, and that was just merely to illustrate a completely different point that I was making.
02:38:38.000If you want to have that conversation about the communion, then I probably have a lot to learn.
02:38:43.000You know, we could talk about that, but that is not.
02:38:49.000I didn't say, like, hey, everybody, this is why the Eucharist is better in the hand.
02:38:54.000I said, well, there was this guy on Instagram who said this about this debate, and he did it in a way that was uncharitable and autistic and actually not very Christian at all.
02:41:33.000This is how long until non essential jobs are shut down?
02:41:36.000I don't know if they'll shut down jobs, but they're definitely going to shut down stores and any private businesses that have a public storefront.
02:41:47.000Reptard says, Reptard has enough Velveeta mac and cheese to feed a small army.
02:42:27.000People just tip based on if they like the show, you know, or if they want to, you know, make me say something gross with some phonetic spelling.
02:42:35.000You know, they want me to say, Whatever they want me to say, have you seen Kyle?
02:48:23.000And, you know, just generally not a pleasant person.
02:48:26.000I've never done her wrong, but she's attacked me while inviting me on her show.
02:48:31.000Her loser producer, I don't even know the guy's name, but her loser cuck producer has been constantly emailing me for months saying, Nick, Nick, we want to get you on the stream.
02:49:20.000I have a pretty, you know, in terms of what I have patience for, I have a very low threshold when I get annoyed, but I have a very high threshold before I'll attack people or cut ties or cut cords or anything.
02:50:10.000If people want to attack me, and I've been seeing a lot of that, some people are proving that they're my friend, and some people are not, and some people are somewhere in the middle.
02:50:18.000But, you know, all I'm asking is that I, you know, just get some respect.
02:50:48.000I don't need to take shit from anybody, okay?
02:50:51.000Now, if you give me a fair criticism and if you do it in the right way, then there's no problems, but this is not, but what we're seeing with Dr. Taylor Marshall, real serious guy, right?
02:51:02.000And Brittany Venti, these are two examples of how not to treat me.
02:51:07.000Whitrick Casey says, I live in Washington and I don't own a firearm.
02:51:11.000Should I get one before they start shutting stuff down here?
02:51:14.000Uh, I mean, you should have a firearm.
02:51:16.000I don't know if it's necessary because of Corona, but it's just generally good to have.
02:51:20.000Among the Ruins says, Thanks for turning me on to Frank Castle last week.
02:51:24.000His videos exhibit such a high dominant energy.
02:52:45.000That makes it all the more disappointing.
02:52:46.000You know, I mean, with somebody like him, I've never met him, I've never talked to him, but he unfollowed me on Twitter, and that was his first mistake.
02:52:53.000And, uh, I didn't know if he was really super chatting or not, but yeah, if you are somebody who is going to amplify calumny and rumors, I have no respect for people like that.
02:53:04.000It's not, it's a really nasty thing to do.
02:53:29.000And it also sucks because it hurts your reputation.
02:53:32.000And deceit and dishonesty do profound damage to a good cause, which is what I am advancing.
02:53:40.000So, for him, of all people, as somebody who is a public figure, who I'm sure he gets his fair share of haters, for him to amplify and perpetuate things that are not true, especially without talking to me or trying to sort it out first, this is just the height of irresponsibility, as far as I'm concerned.
02:53:56.000And it's so ironic, me, of all people, I have the reputation of being a careless and Hot headed, you know, kid and a punk and all this.
02:54:05.000And here I am, the one who has to give a judicious take.
02:54:30.000For all these people, we're supposed to believe in a church.
02:54:32.000Then you'd think these people are the bishops.
02:54:34.000Do you think all these, you know, they're self appointed bishops, the way they operate?
02:54:40.000You know, they decide who's a real Catholic and who isn't, what's the proper way and what isn't.
02:54:45.000It's like, I'm sorry, who died and appointed you the Pope?
02:54:48.000Because last I checked, the whole point of being Catholic is the authority of Rome, not the authority of you, not the authority of some lay person.
02:54:55.000And that's not to say that people don't have expertise.
02:54:58.000It's not to say that some people don't have knowledge, but it is to say that there ought to be a little bit of humility in some of these affairs, because I don't get a lot of that from some of these characters.
02:55:08.000Self righteousness, and I get a lot of, you know, that kind of stuff.
02:55:15.000And maybe that's just my impression, but that's what I see a lot of.
02:55:18.000So, last I checked, we're supposed to be listening to the bishops and the Pope, and that doesn't mean that we can't listen to anybody else, but where does the authority derive from?
02:55:27.000Does it derive from, you know, some super smart guy that read a lot of books, or does it derive from the church protected by Christ from error?
02:55:36.000Polish American says, Calumny is a sin.
02:56:24.000I have used my platform to attract people to the faith.
02:56:28.000And I'd like to think that the way that I talk about the faith, which is from my own personal experience and sincere and authentic and honest, and the way that I explain it, I think it creates a lot of interest for Catholicism.
02:56:39.000And you can tell by watching my show that a lot of young people watch this and they convert.
02:56:45.000You know, either they become interested in Christianity or they full on.
02:56:49.000Convert and become baptized Catholics.
02:56:52.000But when I see what happens with a lot of these track Catholics, I don't get that impression.
02:56:56.000What I see is a very insular community of, it's basically a circle jerk of people that are highly intolerant of dissent, disagreement, highly intolerant of you if you're not all the way there immediately, whatever.
02:57:20.000I think what I get from them is actually kind of a big turnoff.
02:57:23.000If it's like, you know, here I am as somebody that is rediscovering my faith over the last few years, as somebody that grew up a cultural Catholic, and I'm trying to do my part to advance the faith and become a more faithful Catholic, and all I get is people lying about me, right?
02:57:38.000Lying about me and, you know, talking about my intentions and talking about what's in my heart and, you know, calling me insufficient based on things that they're picking apart and seizing upon in my show.
02:57:48.000You know, that doesn't seem like a very attractive thing at all.
02:57:52.000Treader says, Nick is beset on all sides, but we've got your back.
03:12:14.000That was a big area of interest to me when I was a kid, actually.
03:12:18.000Yeah, I explored the subject for a time when I was a child.
03:12:23.000But now it's just one of those things where, you know, you lucid dream, you lucid dream, but I don't think there's really a reliable way to produce it.
03:12:31.000There were, I don't know how the technology or the techniques have evolved, but when I was into it, the.
03:12:40.000The way the technology that was out there is there was a headband that you would wear or a face mask that covered your eyes, and there would be a light pattern.
03:12:50.000There would be a red dot pattern emitted by the headset, and I guess you would see it in your dream.
03:12:58.000And it would aware you of the fact that you were in a dream.
03:13:01.000Frankly, these days when I dream, it's almost always a lucid dream.
03:13:09.000And I think that's because I. Have an irregular sleep schedule.
03:13:12.000I find that when you sleep from exhaustion, I don't know what the sleep cycles are, but when you enter right into REM sleep, if you're exhausted, if you have an irregular sleeping schedule and you stay up all night and then you fall asleep, I find that you have dreams more often that way than if you're on a regular sleeping schedule.
03:13:29.000And so, because I'm doing that all the time, because I'm so irregular and it's exhaustion and it seems to be right into a deep state of sleep, then it produces more and more vivid dreams, more dreams and more vivid dreams, and I tend to be aware.
03:15:02.000Like, I feel like when I'm eating a salad, I have to get in a bite like a little bit of lettuce and a little bit of like the other mixings.
03:15:12.000And that's very tedious to me because if you don't eat it in the right way, then you're going to end up with a bowl of just like cheese.
03:15:19.000And I'm not going to just eat like a bowl of cheese, I'm not going to eat a bowl of just olives, you know, or whatever's left over, tomatoes.
03:15:26.000So, you almost have to be sort of minding the ratio while you're eating.
03:15:32.000You know, like if you're eating a pasta with a meat, or you're eating cereal with a banana cut up in it, right?
03:15:37.000Or you're eating caramel and caramel and cheddar popcorn.
03:15:43.000You've got to have a handful that has equal parts cheddar and caramel, or, you know, some level of parity.
03:15:51.000Otherwise, you get a handful of just caramel.
03:15:52.000And I don't want to eat just caramel and you end up with just caramel or just cheese.
03:16:05.000I want to have a chocolate bar and just have the taste of the chocolate.
03:16:09.000I want to have a Reese's Pieces chocolate bar and have Reese's Pieces evenly distributed throughout the bar and evenly distributed in a fixed position, fixed, static.
03:16:22.000Every part of the chocolate bar has an even ratio and a proportion of Reese's Pieces inside.
03:16:53.000I sat down with some trail mix and I'm like, you know, I need to get a handful of the peanut and an Evanab and a raisin and whatever else is in there.
