00:00:47.000We're hearing from the White House and from the federal government what the reopening will look like for the whole country, and it is a long-term plan as well.
00:00:57.000And we looked at some reopening guidelines, I think, two nights ago in California.
00:01:02.000The governor of California, Gavin Newsom, unveiled the guidelines for the West Coast states, California, Oregon, and Washington.
00:01:10.000But finally today, the president came out with Fauci and Birx.
00:01:15.000And they went over a three-phase guideline for what it will look like across the country.
00:01:21.000A three-phase outline for reopening the economy, businesses, schools, everything.
00:01:31.000We have the return of the whiteboard tonight, and I don't know if you're gonna like this one.
00:01:36.000You know, my handwriting is bad enough as it is when I'm just writing giant numbers, when all I have to do is just write, like, the United States, 600,000, China, 83,000, but, you know, this whiteboard, there's a lot of information on it, there was a lot of information to put
00:01:54.000And so I had to write small and I even used the slender marker the skinny marker instead of the thick dry erase marker So I don't know how readable it's gonna be but I'll be telling you all the information that's on there I just figured a whiteboard would be convenient because it's a lot of information to keep track of and
00:02:16.000And to keep track of it visually on the whiteboard might be more convenient.
00:02:20.000But, whether or not you'll be able to read it, we'll see.
00:02:24.000It's basically readable, it's all your classics, A, B, C, D, you know the letters.
00:02:30.000So it's all the classics, pretty recognizable stuff, but...
00:02:33.000You gotta tell me, you gotta give me some feedback and tell me if you're able to see it, because otherwise I won't bother.
00:02:38.000I won't sit here, you know, for 20 minutes and write out all this information if it doesn't matter.
00:02:45.000I should probably just do computer graphics, and we'll probably shift to that in a little while, once the new studio comes up, once the new compound is erected, but for now we've got the whiteboard, so...
00:03:13.000So the total number of unemployed over the past four weeks?
00:03:19.000is 20 million now 20 million new jobless claims in the past I believe it's maybe it's three weeks I think it's because I think it was 10 million initially or 6 million and then 10 million then 5 million
00:03:58.000If you remember, in the third phase stimulus, the $2.1 trillion fiscal stimulus, they approved $350 billion for small business loans.
00:04:11.000And there were a couple of different programs, but the biggest and most popular was a loan that was supposed to go towards payroll.
00:04:19.000And that has just run dry as of today.
00:04:22.000They've exhausted the fund and I believe as of sometime this night the SBA legally will not be able to guarantee any more loans.
00:04:32.000And the way that it works is small businesses will apply to their banks and there are requirements on there.
00:04:37.000I think if you have less than 500 employees you're eligible for this payroll compensation.
00:04:44.000and so they apply to their banks for the relief the banks give it to them and then the SBA pays the banks and the SBA gives out money so that banks can give out loans essentially and then cancel the loan so that people can compensate their employees even though they may not get it they may not be getting revenue and might not be able to have the funds on hand so that money is gone dry we'll talk about that as well and then of course we'll be looking at our daily numbers of deaths and confirmed cases and
00:05:31.000I would say just about since the president did his Oval Office address and announced that travel from Europe would be banned and they issued the, what was it, 15 days to stop the spread guidelines, it was right around then that we really started to go on a hard, I guess technically it's a soft lockdown, but a lockdown nonetheless.
00:05:51.000A severe and a serious lockdown of most of the country.
00:05:55.000And maybe what has been the most challenging about it has not been the lockdown itself,
00:06:00.000Or the small, in some cases, sacrifices that we've been asked to make, but the fact that we have no idea what's on the horizon, we don't know the timetable, we don't know when exactly we'll return to normal, or in what stages, or what that's even going to look like.
00:06:16.000And so finally, now that we have a plan, now that we have an idea confirmed and official from the government what that'll look like, I think it'll make
00:06:46.000I don't think I'm Nostradamus for saying that, you know, part of the reopening would be temperature checks and hand washing and hand sanitizer and things like that.
00:06:55.000But if you've been watching this show, I do just have to say before we dive in that really going back since January, this show has been right on the money about all of it.
00:07:05.000About the stimulus, about the origin of the virus, about the transmission of the virus, the severity of it, the government response, the lockdowns, the reopening.
00:07:15.000And if you've been watching the show, you can attest to that.
00:07:17.000Although the show may have been boring for a long time, maybe it hasn't been as exciting as War with Iran could have been.
00:07:24.000That was our big story at the beginning of the year, then we got some lame pandemic.
00:07:29.000But if you've been watching over the past three months consistently, I think you can agree that this show, maybe more than any other show, has been...
00:07:37.000Pretty accurate 95 maybe 100 accuracy on this stuff and maybe you'll be surprised or maybe not but when we look at these reopening guidelines this is stuff that I've been saying going back to like late March so again not like it's a huge oh you know when we go back to work we're gonna have to wash our hands like some of this stuff is more obvious than others but
00:07:59.000I'm gonna take credit regardless, because I deserve it.
00:08:02.000So, we got a whiteboard, we got a big story, and it's a big show, and it should be exciting.
00:08:08.000Yesterday we did our show, and it was a little bit abbreviated because the Lemon Super Chat function on DLive was disabled.
00:08:18.000They were doing site-wide maintenance yesterday, and curiously the site-wide maintenance lasted basically as long as this show does, because I was watching streams yesterday afternoon at like 3 o'clock,
00:08:32.000And they have lemons, and no problems.
00:08:35.000I start my stream at 7 o'clock sharp, as I always do.
00:08:56.000Well then, within an hour of the show ending, lemons are back.
00:08:59.000So, the window of time that the site was undergoing maintenance, the tips were not allowed, seemed to fit very nicely and cleanly right over my show so that I could make no money during the show.
00:09:12.000I'm not saying it's a conspiracy, but...
00:09:15.000Just interesting how that works out, right?
00:09:45.000They were just doing temporary maintenance because I think they're switching over now from the Lino blockchain to the BTT blockchain and I talked to somebody at DLive earlier today and he was explaining to me a little bit about what's happening there but a lot of it's just going over my head.
00:10:05.000Crypto and you know, I'm gonna have to spend a little time and research into it, but Everything's okay.
00:10:11.000They just did some maintenance to transition to this new system I guess but we're good now lemons are back before we get into the big news I I do just have another one of my passing observations, you know yesterday.
00:10:27.000Yesterday we talked about the article in the LA Times talking about this human touch and contact and everything and we generally talk about the events and the news as they come and news reports and it stays pretty topical but I like to talk about the bigger picture particularly about this pandemic
00:10:49.000I saw a report in the New York Times today which I found very interesting.
00:11:05.000But they found that actually if you're looking at people that have coronavirus, people with obesity are worse off than people with asthma, which is surprising because obviously coronavirus is a respiratory virus, right?
00:11:39.000That tends to affect the most vulnerable people, which are people with pre-existing conditions, that the worst pre-existing condition you might have would be a respiratory condition like asthma or something like that.
00:11:51.000But it turns out, and this is the early research, it suggests that if you have obesity, if you're obese, you're actually worse off than if you have asthma, getting the virus.
00:12:00.000And I'm thinking a lot about obesity, and I'm thinking a lot about this Touch article that we looked at yesterday, where they talked about how, what are we going to do without human touch?
00:13:11.000And one of the vulnerabilities among all the others that we've talked about, we've talked about financially, we've talked about socially, the social fabric we talked about yesterday, but even in terms of just like the health of our people, look at how many people in the country are obese.
00:13:39.000I'll pull it up because I think it'd be worth it to look at the
00:13:42.000exact number of of what the percentages uh... let me take a look here so it says that forty two percent of americans of american adults have obesity eighty million people so nearly half of the country is obese and it just is so striking to me and i can't get over this i can't get over the stark contrast between what we heard like sixty days ago
00:14:11.000Which is that our country has never been stronger, and we're the strongest country in the world, and Trump has been perpetuating this just as much as anybody, if not more, that we are a strong, solid, powerful country.
00:14:41.000They're a consequence of strength and what we're seeing with the big stock market and the big military is only and even the accumulation of wealth.
00:14:51.000This is the wealth in all those aspects, the monetary wealth but also the other wealth which is, you know, that the government is wealthy and high public trust and so on.
00:15:00.000I'm speaking very generally when I say wealth.
00:15:03.000All of our strength that we have now and the wealth of resources and other things that we have now is really the consequence of habits and trends and people and taxpayers and all that that lived a long time ago.
00:16:03.000Because the real health of the country is not measured in terms of economic output, or purchasing power, or the stock market, even the military, even the amount of soldiers, or bullets, or tanks, or anything like that.
00:16:17.000What it's measured in, and really the best way to look into a crystal ball at where the country will be in its longevity, is in where the individual people are at.
00:16:26.000And if you look at our individual people in this country today, are they strong, or are they weak?
00:16:33.000We've been looking for the past few weeks in a variety of different ways, a variety of different angles at our people, and what we find generally is that they are fat, uneducated, uncultured, over-leveraged, they've borrowed too much money, they're insolvent, they have no savings, they have no strong relationships, they have no meaning in their lives, no spiritual or religious background, right?
00:16:57.000No meaningful relationships or community with people in the neighborhood.
00:17:06.000You know, it's like in The Dark Knight Rises, you remember when Bane says, victory has defeated you.
00:17:12.000I know it's tried to say it, but this is the case with our country.
00:17:15.000And I look at things like a pandemic, and imagine what our country would look like during this same pandemic,
00:17:23.000It would almost be unimaginably different how a response to the coronavirus would look like.
00:17:37.000If the government were to put out an order in that alternative reality and said shelter in place, everybody stay home and so on, where they have savings and family and all the rest, I think basically the country would not be phased.
00:17:51.000There would be a lot less people, for example, with pre-existing conditions.
00:17:56.000Nobody was obese if people were dieting and working out or were generally healthy.
00:18:00.000There'd be a lot less people with pre-existing conditions, and therefore a lot less people dead, a lot less people in the ICU.
00:18:07.000If the country were clean and orderly, if we were already disinfecting our surfaces and washing our hands, and if food preparation was clean and everything, if people were already conscious about the elderly and other vulnerable populations, the outbreak wouldn't have been as bad as it was.
00:18:25.000And if people were ordered to go and stay at home, well, it wouldn't be a huge psychological or social burden, because they would be at home with their families.
00:18:33.000They would be at home with their wives, or their husbands, or their kids, or their parents, or their siblings.
00:18:38.000Big, large families, tight-knit, close.
00:18:43.000They would have friends that they could call and talk to and have deep, meaningful conversations.
00:18:49.000They wouldn't have to rely on bars and casual sex and hookups and all these other amusements.
00:18:55.000And even economically, if we were a population that was disciplined and restrained with our money...
00:19:01.000Individuals and businesses would have savings to live off of right now.
00:19:05.000People could go home from work and maybe not get a paycheck for a little while, but that would be okay because people would be financially disciplined enough to have a little bit of savings in the event of an emergency, individual or national.
00:19:18.000And they could go home and have enough money to pay for the groceries and the essentials and so on.
00:19:22.000And if they didn't, maybe local and state and the national government would be solvent enough to make up the difference.
00:19:30.000If we had a balanced budget and maybe a surplus at every level then maybe there would be enough money so that we wouldn't be borrowing trillions of dollars but maybe we'd have a little bit of money to make up that difference.
00:19:41.000But you wouldn't even need that much because people would save and businesses would be saving too.
00:19:47.000You know, I know everything can't be perfect, I know that everything can't be utopia, and emergencies and crises will happen, and that'll put strain on any society.
00:19:56.000But we look at the strain on our society right now, and so much of it is unnecessary, and so much of it is a result of bad decisions, bad planning, high time preference, low impulse control people that can't take care of themselves.
00:20:11.000This is evident, like I said, throughout every aspect of the crisis, every aspect of our lives, and I look at that number with obesity and I can't, I just can't get that image out of my head that if you flip a coin, literally, flip a coin and hedge a person's gonna be obese, if you know there's an American behind a secret door, flip a coin, hedge they're obese, tails they're not.
00:20:34.000Hedge they are, you know, and there's a lot of morbidly obese people, but
00:20:39.000That so much of the country is overweight, and you really really think about what that means for our country, and the country is its people.
00:20:47.000You don't have a strong country if you don't have strong people.
00:20:51.000You do not have a resilient country if you do not have resilient people.
00:21:01.000There are extenuating circumstances where people have genetics or a disease or something, but generally speaking, it's basically in your control how much you weigh and all that.
00:21:12.000You know, unless you're talking about a mother who just had kids or, you know, extenuating circumstances.
00:21:18.000We're looking at a population that is weak and a population that when disease comes, it kills them.
00:21:24.000And I've been saying this for a long time, but this is not a country that's going to survive another 100 years if this is what we're dealing with, if this is the population that we're looking at.
00:21:35.000And the people that will survive, you know, maybe not everybody will die, a lot of will if this is the case, but the people that are going to survive are the people that are physically fit, the people that have got savings, they've got a contingency plan, right, in all different aspects.
00:21:52.000It's really something to think about with this coronavirus.
00:21:54.000We should look at this as like a drill.
00:21:57.000Because this might not be a world-ending, civilization-ending, catastrophic event.
00:22:06.000But if it isn't, that doesn't mean that we should take it any less seriously.
00:22:09.000We should look at where we got caught with our pants down, what were the vulnerabilities, what were the weaknesses.
00:22:16.000And we should work very quickly and diligently and vigorously to make up the difference and fix those areas because the next time that a super bug or a super virus comes, maybe it will wipe us out.
00:22:27.000The next time a major natural disaster or a war or something like that happens, maybe it will wipe us out.
00:22:34.000Because a country that is not resilient in the face of disasters that are inevitable and bound to happen in any time
00:22:41.000That's a country that has no right to exist.
00:22:43.000That's a country that will not exist for very long.
00:22:46.000And you really gotta think about that.
00:22:47.000We have a lot of this doomsday talk, and we've heard it for a long time now.
00:22:52.000You know, if you listen to, like, talk radio and conservatives, people have been saying since, like, the 2000s, 1990s, even way before that, even, like, the 50s, people were talking about
00:23:17.000It's all very abstract and conceptual, but the more the time goes on, the less abstract and conceptual it gets, and the more tangible and real and practical it becomes, right?
00:23:28.00020 or 30 years ago when they were talking about globalization and globalism and China and taking jobs and immigrants,
00:23:36.000Maybe that fell on deaf ears because a lot of people didn't see that in their daily lives in Pennsylvania or in Wisconsin or Michigan, maybe 40, 30 years ago.
00:23:51.000Every day that passes, we're feeling it more and more and more.
00:23:55.000And we don't want to get to the point where it's the point of no return and it's apocalyptic
00:24:00.000And we have a drastically lower standard of living.
00:24:03.000We don't want to get to the point where in 30 years all the predictions I've been saying on this show come true, and the country is over, and all the white people are in camps, and, you know, the American flag has been replaced by a rainbow flag, and on and on, right?
00:24:53.000Michelle Malkin, and you know, but she's gonna get me in the gym because she just, she doesn't quit.
00:24:59.000On Telegram, on Signal, you know, you gotta take better care of yourself, you should get to bed on time, do your face pulls, do your push-ups and all this.
00:25:09.000She is persistent, she's gonna kick my ass right back in the gym one of these days.
00:25:14.000One of these days, I tell you, I'm gonna go in there.
00:25:26.000Everybody could go in there and get in shape and save your money and talk to your family and build those relationships because, and this has been the theme of the show for a little while now,
00:26:18.000But our country is hanging by a thread.
00:26:20.000You've got all these people, and they're fat, and they're dirty, and they don't wash their hands, and everything's dirty, and everything's disorderly and chaotic, and there's homeless people everywhere, and everyone's on drugs, and killing themselves, and doing transgender reassignment surgeries, and their boys are kissing boys, and girls are kissing girls, and mothers are killing their babies, and dads are leaving their kids behind, and everybody's just spending more money than they have.
00:26:50.000You don't see it because you're watching too much fucking TV, because you're in a shopping center, and it's bright, fluorescent lights, and it's upbeat, modern pop music, and it's so loud and it's so bright that you can't see what's right in front of you!
00:27:06.000But it's, I'm telling you, we are headed towards hell.
00:27:10.000We are going to become Brazil or Africa.
00:27:13.000If we don't start changing quickly in every aspect, and it's incumbent on everybody, how can people not see this, you know?
00:27:23.000You see all the craziness happening in the country, and it takes a virus like this to remind everybody, hey, we still live in the real world!
00:27:30.000Everybody thinks, okay, like, we won the wars, history's over, and now it's just time to jerk off all the time, right?
00:27:37.000Now it's just time to buy stuff and, you know, jerk off, and that's it.
00:27:53.000All the forces of history are gathered right outside the gates, right outside the temple or the city walls, and the walls are crumbling, but we're all inside dancing and carrying on and everything.
00:28:09.000People don't see, but if you look at this coronavirus, you see all these people who, a month ago, were so concerned about Coachella and gender-bending class.
00:28:21.000My sex reassignment surgery and all this.
00:28:23.000Now they're worried about how am I going to eat?
00:29:03.000Don't be obese or you're gonna die from coronavirus or a heart attack, you know, or
00:29:08.000you'll get stuck in a doorway and that'll be you know that you'll just starve you'll bleed out there but we're gonna move on and we're gonna talk about our news just a little you know just some passing thoughts on what's going on
00:29:20.000I see this pandemic and I'm shaking my head.
00:29:31.000I think we'll look at our numbers and then I'll do the whiteboard.
00:29:33.000I think we'll skip maybe some of the stuff or maybe we'll incorporate the jobless claims and the SBA stuff into the normal numbers because
00:29:42.000It's gonna take a long time to explain the reopening, the phase, the three-phase reopening of the country, so I'll try and be quick about the rest of it, so...
00:29:51.000We've got our latest numbers here for the United States in terms of death and new cases.
00:29:58.000The United States is up to 677,000 confirmed coronavirus cases.
00:30:00.000We're up to 34,580 dead from coronavirus.
00:31:43.000So the deaths are stabilizing and going down very obviously because the confirmed cases are going down and the confirmed cases are going down because transmission is going down.
00:31:52.000And transmission has gone down because social interaction is virtually non-existent in any of the major population centers.
00:32:00.000And once that changes, you're gonna see more cases, you're gonna see more dead.
00:32:05.000And so right now, we're at about 34,000 dead, which is a lot.
00:32:09.000That number's gonna go up to about 68,000, they project.
00:32:13.000And that'll be the number on August 4th.
00:32:16.000It'll hit 68,000 roughly around the beginning of the summer, and then it'll stabilize, and that's where we'll be at around August 4th, which is a lot of people.
00:32:42.000So those are the numbers on confirmed cases and on dead.
00:32:45.000As always, we're keeping an eye on that.
00:32:47.000The other big developments are about the SBA loans and the jobless claims.
00:32:51.000And I want to get through this pretty quickly because I want to get to the whiteboard, but in case you were wondering, we now have 5.2 million new jobless claims in the last week.
00:33:04.000So that brings the total number up to 20 million new jobless claims in the last four weeks, which is, if you look at any data on this, this is the worst in American history.
00:33:18.000I think the highest single week, the biggest number
00:33:23.000of jobless claims in a single week before the coronavirus was 600,000 back in 1987.
00:33:30.000And we did a show on this a couple weeks back.
00:36:40.000But I see so many takes out there that are saying, the economy doesn't matter.
00:36:45.000That the president and Tucker Carlson are bought by big business, and the only people that want to reopen the economy are neoliberals that want the green line to go up and baby boomers and, you know, people that really care about Americans and workers are people that want to keep everything shut down because if you want people to go back to work, well, you're putting money ahead of health.
00:37:08.000This is like bleeding heart liberal bullshit, okay?
00:37:12.000I'm not a liberal, I'm not a bleeding heart.
00:37:17.000Being a conservative is being a pragmatist, and it's understanding that there are no good options, that there are trade-offs, and this, like any other crisis, is a crisis of trade-offs.
00:37:29.000And of course it's not exactly a relationship where you get more public health and less economy or more economy and less public health.
00:37:37.000What I mean by that is the relationship between these two things of, you know, keeping everything shut down to maximize public health versus opening things up to maximize profits or money.
00:37:48.000The relationship isn't exactly a one-to-one trade-off because of course if you open up the economy too soon and people get out there
00:38:33.000Every little trinket or widget or cheap plastic consumer good but they do need food and they do need toilet paper and they do need electricity and running water and they need the essentials and that requires truck drivers and that requires all kinds of intermediary jobs being worked.
00:38:50.000And if that doesn't happen, and if people don't get the essentials and they don't have enough money, or if people are getting laid off and there's no way to finance themselves, then people start to kill themselves, or they start to get anxiety or stressed out.
00:39:03.000And there's a lot of data that shows that people do actually kill themselves the more unemployment goes up.
00:39:36.000And so you look at 37 million people unemployed, and this is how we got on the subject.
00:39:41.000You look at 37 million people unemployed.
00:39:43.000And it's actually not funny to say, oh yeah let's just keep the economy shut down forever because baby boomers and the billionaires don't care about the working class.
00:39:54.000How can you say they should care about the working class if you're in favor of economic restrictions that are sinking them in debt, putting them financially underwater, they're without a job, they can't feed themselves, pretty soon there's going to be shortages and price spikes.
00:41:02.000It's like Jewish people or or even if they're not doing that I see a lot of people saying you can't blame China You have to blame our government China did nothing wrong You have to blame our government for not taking care of us, and it's like what are you an idiot?
00:42:08.000The kinds of investments they're making in Africa and Europe and all over, it's just as bad, if not worse, than other forms of colonialism by our country or European countries in years past.
00:42:19.000And by the way, we can also say that Israel is still a problem, okay?
00:42:23.000We can say that China is a malicious actor, that Israel is not our closest ally,
00:42:30.000And that the government has betrayed us.
00:42:31.000All of these things can be true, but I see a lot of people saying, for some reason, running interference for China.
00:43:05.000We got it confirmed from a bunch of different sources that the virus originated in a Chinese lab, and that they covered it up, they bought off the World Health Organization, and they didn't shut down their international flights when they knew about human-to-human transmission.
00:43:19.000Like, that in itself is an act of war.
00:43:21.000If Israel did that, you wouldn't hear the end of that from Wignatz.
00:43:24.000If the CIA did that, you wouldn't hear the end of it.
00:43:52.000People are talking about FEMA camps at Walmart and like
00:43:57.000Anyway, so that's my take on a number of different things.
00:44:02.000But the jobless claims are pretty bad and the SBA loans are running out and we're running out of time.
00:44:09.000So we're gonna have to move on as much as I'd like to go off more about that and look at our whiteboard and we're gonna talk about our reopening here finally.
00:44:19.000This is the easel that the whiteboard sits atop.
00:44:24.000Okay, so this is our whiteboard, and we're gonna talk a little bit about the reopening guidelines.
00:44:33.000We're gonna talk a little bit about the reopening guidelines that were unveiled today at the White House, and the darkness is gonna go up a little bit because of the whiteboard.
00:44:42.000Yeah, that is almost unreadable, it looks like to me.
00:46:14.000We can trace who they were in contact with and quarantine those people, test those people.
00:46:19.000Sanitation and disinfection of common and high traffic areas.
00:46:23.000These are the general guidelines they unveiled and they said, you know, we're going to go back to work, but these are the major health principles that everybody, employers, individuals, and others will follow.
00:46:34.000But we're going to dive into the specifics here.
00:46:36.000I want to talk a little bit about gating.
00:46:39.000So one of the ways that they are going to ensure that we gradually reopen the economy with these three phases is also to have something called gating in between every phase.
00:46:50.000So the economy will reopen in these three distinct phases and a state will go from one phase to the next to the third and gradually reopen things.
00:47:00.000In a it's a gradation right it's a continuum of openness essentially and gradually reopen and what guides the reopening and the move from one phase to a next it's a decision that's made state by state by governors based on each individual case and for them to graduate from one phase to the next they have to pass this gating procedure and part of the gating procedure there's three criterion
00:47:27.000And the criteria involves symptoms, cases, and hospitals.
00:47:32.000So, first you have to meet the requirement that you have a downward trajectory of influenza-like illnesses reported for 14 days.
00:47:42.000You need a downward trajectory of coronavirus syndromic cases for 14 days.
00:47:49.000So, the symptom component of it, this is the symptom component.
00:47:53.000is for two weeks, you need to report a downward trajectory of influenza-like illness, syndromic cases, and coronavirus syndromic cases.
00:48:03.000In other words, people that are not testing positive necessarily for coronavirus or influenza, but you see that the number of people that have influenza-like or coronavirus symptoms has gone down.
00:48:22.000You have to have a downward trajectory of cases of coronavirus for two weeks or a downward trajectory of positive tests as a percent of total tests within the two-week period.
00:48:36.000So, downward trajectory of reported syndromic cases and a two-week period of a downward trajectory of cases or
00:48:46.000Confirmed positive tests as a percentage of total tests in other words even if potentially you might have on some days cases are going up if as a Percentage of all the tests being administered.
00:48:57.000They're going down you meet that criterion and then lastly concerns hospitals
00:49:03.000You have to have in hospitals all patients being treated.
00:49:07.000In other words, there is no, there are no patients that are not being treated.
00:49:11.000Obviously, you cannot gait if you have patients that are like in the hallways or like in triages and parking lots or something like that.
00:49:20.000And secondly, you have to have robust testing programs in place for at-risk healthcare workers, including emergency or rather emerging antibody testing.
00:49:29.000These are the three components of gaiting.
00:50:02.000So in other words, I think it's cumulative too.
00:50:06.000You have to gate for a total of six weeks.
00:50:08.000So in other words, and I believe I'm not a hundred percent of this is exactly how it works, but if we're following that, then that means we have to look back two weeks over the past two weeks.
00:50:19.000For example, a state like Utah, if Utah, if we can look back two weeks and see that they have a downward trajectory of cases, symptoms, and their hospitals are okay, then they get to phase one.
00:50:29.000I believe once they enter phase one, then it's another two weeks of downward trajectory.
00:50:34.000Another two weeks of downward trajectory of cases and symptoms, hospitals, after those two weeks, then phase two, then it's another two weeks, and then phase three.
00:50:42.000And I believe that it's like that, that you have to do it consecutively, and that would mean that you need at minimum, this is if you're doing it as quickly as possible, most efficiently, six weeks between now and a full reopening, even for states that have no major outbreaks.
00:50:59.000And this will ensure that if you get to phase one,
00:51:03.000But if things start to get out of hand again, you don't get to phase 2.
00:51:07.000And if you get to phase 2 and things start to get out of hand, then you don't get to phase 3.
00:51:11.000So it's always contingent on making sure there's a downward trajectory of cases, of potential cases in terms of syndromic, reported syndromic, documented syndromic cases, but also confirmed cases, and making sure the hospitals have the capacity to handle a surge of cases
00:52:45.000They encourage people to telework from home, so working on Zoom or Skype or phone call.
00:52:51.000Closing common areas at work, so break rooms, other things like that where there's common surfaces where people are hanging out, those have to be closed.
00:54:25.000Maximum social distancing, vulnerable shelter in place, teleworking encouraged, visits to hospitals and senior centers are prohibited, common work areas remain closed.
00:54:37.000These are the only changes to Phase 2 is that now it's up to 50 people in a social setting, non-essential travel is resumed, and schools and bars reopen.
00:55:54.000So phase three is not like, okay, everything's fine now.
00:55:58.000We are going to be in this phase system until a vaccine is achieved or herd immunity is achieved.
00:56:04.000And that means that all throughout, again, those general guidelines I talked about in the beginning, social distancing, sanitizing, temperature checks, masks, all of that remains in place.
00:56:17.000General caution, general consciousness of this kind of stuff.
00:56:42.000And the president has said that some states are already ready to go to phase one as early as tomorrow.
00:56:47.000Literally, he said literally tomorrow.
00:56:49.000So states like Utah or a lot of these western states, Wyoming, Montana, they probably have a two-week record of a downward trajectory of cases.
00:56:59.000And I assume that you could probably work backwards as well, that you could go from a phase 3 to a phase 2 or a phase 2 to a phase 1
00:59:50.000And this is going to prevent this idea of, you know, if it gets better in one place before a neighboring place, then all the sick people will go from the sick part to the to the more open part and infect everybody.
01:00:03.000It'll prevent that because if they shut down the whole West Coast all at the same time, probably people are not going to go from the West Coast to the East Coast.
01:00:12.000Generally, I don't think that would happen.
01:00:14.000If California shut down but Oregon opened up, maybe some people in Northern California would go to Portland, right?
01:00:51.000I think it's a good plan because you gotta reopen.
01:00:54.000And how many options do you really have?
01:00:56.000You gotta reopen eventually, and you would probably do it gradually.
01:01:00.000And the best weapons to fight the disease are masks, social distancing, and disinfectants.
01:01:05.000So this is like, really all that you can do.
01:01:09.000Because shutting down the economy permanently is not an option.
01:01:13.000And reopening the economy completely is not an option.
01:01:15.000So something like this is what we would look at.
01:01:18.000Now the exact mechanisms and enforcement and logistics, all these little details is what needed to be worked out and they look fine to me if I take a cursory look at it, but generally you're not going to get anything much different than this.
01:01:32.000Whatever we do, we have to reopen soon, we have to reopen gradually, we have to reopen in phases, we have to reopen in phases making sure that we're doing it safely and that
01:01:42.000We are optimistic and confident that there's not going to be a major resurgence or outbreak right away.
01:01:48.000So, I think no matter what plan you come up with, it's going to look something like this.
01:01:52.000So, that's generally my feeling on it.
01:01:54.000Some people are like, this is terrible, or this is amazing!
01:03:31.000Somebody drank a fish tank cleaner and died.
01:03:35.000They're not doing PPE, people are getting fired, and oh, then the stimulus comes, right?
01:03:39.000So, every step of the way, they're trying to create a narrative about how there's negligence.
01:03:45.000They're throwing everything at the wall to see if it'll stick, but it's been essentially a flawless response.
01:03:52.000I don't think it possibly could have been better.
01:03:54.000And you could say, well, it could have happened sooner or whatever, but
01:03:57.000Again, you have to take into consideration this is an emergency, this is a crisis, and the nature of an emergency or a crisis is that nobody knows when they hit.
01:04:06.000Nobody knows how severe they are until it's basically already too late.
01:04:10.000And then, once you realize you're in a crisis, that's when you begin to judge.
01:04:13.000So people could say, oh, well, you know, Trump didn't shut down the whole country the minute he knew what coronavirus was.
01:04:51.000So all things considered, given the nature of a crisis and an emergency, which is just obvious to any normal person, I don't think there's literally one issue, right?
01:05:02.000Because everything that we inherited got fixed almost immediately.
01:05:05.000The testing was the big problem initially, right?
01:05:23.000And within weeks, we exceeded South Korea's capacity in normal terms and proportionally, I believe, and we developed a test that takes five minutes.
01:05:33.000At first it was manual tests that took days, and then within weeks it was an automatic test that took five minutes and less invasive and could be done on the spot in a drive-thru center, right?
01:06:43.000That literally has not happened in one hospital in America.
01:06:46.000In some hospitals it's overwhelmed and it's chaotic, but in no hospitals do you have doctors deciding who gets care and people need ventilators but don't get them, right?
01:06:55.000Even those two ships they deployed, the Mercy and the Comfort, I think on the one on the East Coast they have like 30 people there.
01:07:05.000So in Italy, it's like a nightmare, right?
01:07:08.000And people are dying and it's getting so bad.
01:07:10.000And in America, I think maybe it was the media pushed it or maybe Trump is just that competent, but you have not seen people dying in the streets.
01:07:18.000The projected number of deaths has gone down radically.
01:07:21.000If 68,000 people die overall in these five months, that will be like miraculous compared to what was projected or even expected.
01:11:24.000We love that Kane says we need a greatly extended Chinese Exclusion Act.
01:11:29.000I agree fart sniffer Patrick Casey DM me the other day and he said Nick you should seriously consider not reading his username anymore because it's bad optics He said and don't read the messages.
01:22:01.000I think the big reason for that is because you can enjoy a drink without getting drunk.
01:22:07.000You could say that smoking pot doesn't always make you totally stoned, but the objective of pot is to alter your state of mind.
01:22:16.000There's micro-dosing and people can get technical about it, but I just feel like, for a variety of reasons,
01:22:23.000Alcohol is much less degenerate culturally traditionally in terms of you know, the intent of alcohol Versus pot, you know a person that's like, you know good first of all pots like illegal in most places You got off your way to buy it.
01:22:38.000It's just like a scummy thing to do So I'm very very very against it and then to be you know to answer the question who's more degenerate Potheads because of pot but also because if you're willing to do pot you're willing to do other stuff and generally goes with the territory
01:23:43.000There's all kinds of negative effects respiratory and otherwise and it is a gateway drug and all the people that that would like scoff at that when we were like 14 or 15 they would say oh
01:23:55.000Oh, just because I'm smoking pot I'm gonna do other drugs?
01:23:58.000All those people now do Xanax, cocaine, like everything else, you know?
01:24:04.000And it's so ironic and rich and funny to me because I swear all those people when we were 14 or 15 and they were smoking pot it was no big deal.
01:25:01.000Big Chungus says, future released Purple Rain on Spotify and Apple.
01:25:05.000I don't really like future, so maybe I'll check it out.
01:25:08.000I know Jaden's gonna, he's probably gonna be streaming it.
01:25:12.000Dallas Groyper says I want to punch the bra I want a chief with Rogan someday XD people in the face lmao I know dude I I hate that that like that genre of human being should be put in like um
01:25:31.000They should be put in buildings that you're not allowed to leave and they make you work, okay?
01:25:36.000I'm not gonna say what they're called, but they should be put in, in, uh, they should be put somewhere in the interior of the country, in the middle of nowhere, in like these buildings with fences and like these complexes of many buildings, but it's fenced in, there's guards.
01:25:50.000These people who, and I know exactly what you're talking about, they're like, bro, I'd love to smoke with Joe Rogan, dude.
01:26:08.000I'd love to just roll a blunt with you and, like, talk about the universe and, like, reality and different dimensions, man.
01:26:19.000Fucking hate that I hate that and I was watching a video the other day Because I've been watching these like new.
01:26:27.000Well, it was actually a long time ago I was watching these new atheist videos just to laugh at them the new atheists which are like Christopher Hitchens and
01:26:42.000You know, all the new... I don't know all the names off the top of my head, but it was... It was a round table of Christopher Hitchens, and it was... Can I even name a single other one?
01:28:12.000It's like that meme of the guy with the brain, and his brain is so big that it's expanded into another person playing chess with himself, right?
01:28:22.000Or the giant brain that's a hot air balloon floating over all the... everybody else.
01:29:16.000But people would always say that, and I don't like that.
01:29:18.000And then there's these other videos where they're like... There was a video I saw the other day where it's like a rabbi, an atheist, and a Christian pastor smoke.
01:29:28.000And it's like, dude, what if, like, everyone just smoked a blunt, man?
01:31:42.000Unsurprisingly, he experimented with drugs, and he said that he enjoyed it.
01:31:46.000He said he went to a symphony, and it made the symphony better, and he ate food, and the food tasted better, and he said, but, um...
01:31:54.000What that destroyed is the actual integrity of good experiences in the sense that you could smoke pot and get just as much enjoyment eating like a bowl of cereal as you can eating like fine dining.
01:32:08.000You could smoke pot and listen to shitty music and just get just as much enjoyment as really good music and it sort of destroys the natural ability to enjoy the natural and that's what I think it's all about is disrupting and messing with this balance.
01:32:22.000You have to be in touch with this balance.
01:32:44.000And I think pot eliminates that, you know.
01:32:48.000Sometimes you just feel a little bit more loose and your inhibitions are down and everything, but that happens naturally when you're comfortable and you're with people you like and you're having a good time.
01:35:05.000Everybody thinks this is going to happen, but it's not.
01:35:08.000I see, you know, Steve Bannon has said this for a long time, and even Richard Spencer said things like this, that the right and the left are going to come together
01:35:18.000And, you know, I don't know if I would say that that's not possible or that there might not be some cross-pollination, but what animates the left is cultural issues, not economic issues.
01:35:30.000I mean, certainly, you know, there's a debate happening on the left where there's some people that are more Marxist, class-oriented, and there's some people that are more identity-oriented, but nevertheless, what they all have in common is they are against the traditional American nation.
01:35:44.000You know, even Joe Biden and even Bernie Sanders.
01:35:48.000Bernie Sanders, you might say, is left-wing economically, but would Bernie Sanders ever vote for Donald Trump?
01:36:15.000If there's going to be any crossover, it'll be from the white working class, and I think that's happening.
01:36:20.000But the idea that, like, Red Scare types, that these, like, communist, Bernie bro, shitlib types, that they're going to come over to our side, it's not going to happen.
01:36:29.000And we shouldn't want to attract these people, because if we do, that means we'll have lost what we stand for.
01:36:34.000We don't just stand for America First trade and economic policy.
01:36:39.000I'll just say highly skeptical of that idea.
01:36:41.000I don't think that there will be none of that.
01:36:44.000But the idea that there's going to be this broad appeal
01:37:08.000To the to the populist left from the populist right keep dreaming man.
01:37:12.000No way In the same way that I don't think you'd see broad populist support for Bernie Sanders from the right I don't think that would happen.
01:37:21.000So I disagree And you can see that you could see that even and you know, Richard Spencer told me this at CPAC in 20 I want to say 2018
01:37:31.000I saw him at CPAC and he was telling me how, you know, I actually have been talking to the CHOPPO people and I've been talking to left-wing people and that's going to be the next big contingent.
01:38:41.000That he was gonna show up and they were gonna say, they were gonna do the epic handshake and say, alt-right, alt-left, being opposed to wars.
01:41:08.000And, uh, so I understand, I understand.
01:41:11.000I don't love some of the things the Pope says, and I don't love some of the changes made in Vatican II, but that's our church, and that's not our place.
01:41:20.000All these people are like, I don't like freedom, I don't like democracy, I don't like liberalism, but I should be able to pick what church I go to and what they say, and if I don't like it, I'll go somewhere else, and I think I have a right.
01:43:26.000Hey, YeetyPeterson, I was supposed to ban you the other day, wasn't I?
01:43:31.000But I guess you bought yourself back in, huh?
01:43:35.000I was supposed to ban this guy because he was, I don't even know what he was saying, but I was, he was bothering me in Jaden's chat, I think.
01:46:49.000I don't like doing the That the when you get the weed whacker and you trim I don't like doing the trimming and I don't like the blowing either I don't like the leaf blower You know blowing all the grass around the mowing was my favorite part if I could just go and do the mowing But then you know my dad be like did you trim and then did you you know blow everything back into the yard?
01:47:45.000Yeah, I'm excited Boy says Nick, how do I red pill my grandma before she dies?
01:47:51.000Okay cringe Canes is America fat China number one Okay Bud says theoretically you ever see an end to Roe v. Wade potentially Spencer says Norway start an antibody testing 50% have them very
01:48:29.000Starving to death to own the capitalists.
01:48:32.000Why don't you go apply for Turning Point USA, faggot?
01:48:35.000Boy says thoughts on okay not reading that but says best gun for home defense pistol rifle shotgun I'm really not the one to ask I'm not like a gun expert
01:59:35.000Fart says Nick goes Ayn Rand individualist when he hears we nope not at all Take cover says Tucker's chats might actually be worse than yours probably because it's all boomers Save the West says Nick.
01:59:46.000Can you come to my birthday at Chuckie cheese?
01:59:48.000Probably not Portland groper says Jesus didn't smoke pot.
02:00:30.000And everybody likes to come out three years later and come out swinging online now that I'm famous and doing better than everybody I ever knew.
02:00:38.000But back in high school, nobody had a problem with me.
02:00:41.000I mean, people had a problem with me, but they didn't confront me about it.
02:00:44.000I was the student body president in high school.
02:00:47.000When I went to the all-school assembly, people were cheering for me.
02:02:54.000One time I went into Walgreens and this is a guy that I knew I think we well we didn't I knew of him I didn't know him like personally but I went into Walgreens and this guy was like hey Nick great to see you again I'm like oh hey like what's up
02:04:17.000Anyway, she commented on that post and she said, let's quit being a wash up.
02:04:22.000That was like two months after I graduated.
02:04:25.000That was after I gave the graduation speech as a student council president and I was in the all school assembly and I was like, you know, president of this thing and president of that thing and like, whatever.
02:04:37.000And you know, here we are all these years later.
02:04:40.000Here we are all these years later and like Kanye West says, I'm doing pretty good as far as geniuses go.
02:04:49.000I'm feeling pretty hood in my pink polo, right?
02:05:28.000You get to dab on them and objectively, you know, just destroy them in the sense that it's like comparing me against you is like a joke.
02:05:37.000And I just love when that happens because so many people for years were down on me and talked shit about me and whatever I'm talking about in the intervening years since high school.
02:05:48.000And now that it's going well, it's like, yeah, see, see, I'm doing I'm vibing.
02:09:46.000Honestly, I'm probably gonna say Jared Taylor.
02:09:50.000I, you know, and I like E. Michael Jones and I like Jared Taylor.
02:09:53.000And I probably disagree with both of them on things.
02:09:56.000You know, I'm probably more racial than E. Michael Jones and probably more religious than Jared Taylor.
02:10:02.000But they're debating about race, and I believe that race is real and a determining factor, and I know that E. Michael Jones is very against that.
02:10:10.000He thinks that, like, the races in America are Catholic and Protestant.
02:10:14.000I think the races in America are black and white and Hispanic and Asian, right?
02:10:20.000Honestly, though, I don't think this debate is productive.
02:10:24.000I mean, it'll be interesting and it'll be fun to watch, but I think it's going to create a false dichotomy of people that are religious versus people that are racial, when in reality you need both.
02:10:34.000You need to have a racial consciousness to a degree, but you also need to be religious.
02:10:37.000You can't have one without the other, and you need both.
02:10:40.000So, I don't actually love that this debate is happening.
02:10:44.000I mean, I think it'll be interesting and entertaining and
02:10:48.000But what I don't want is this dichotomy and these two camps to divide themselves into, well, I believe in race and I believe in religion because that, you know, wrong.
02:16:07.000You gotta believe, and you gotta join up with the church, and you gotta confess, and you gotta be repentant.
02:16:13.000You know, it's not, anybody can, but you really gotta, you really gotta want it, you know?
02:16:19.000So yeah, that's the message, that's the message of hope is that we are fallen, we are sinners, but through Christ we can all be redeemed.
02:16:29.000The forgiveness, the grace is infinite, it's there, it's waiting for you when you're ready to pick it up, but you just have to be ready for that.
02:16:38.000So, and that's the message of hope is that we're all saved, we're all, we can all get there.
02:16:44.000Everybody can, it's just that not a lot of people do, sadly, and that's...
02:16:49.000You know, nothing else in life is like this.
