00:00:15.000Finally, for everybody out there that's working still, everybody out there that still has a job, including me.
00:00:23.000We've got a lot to talk about tonight.
00:00:25.000Our main story is actually a big white pill, huge, huge white pill.
00:00:30.000Tonight, we're going to be talking about a Lawsuit, which is expected to come from the Department of Justice and from state attorney generals against Google.
00:00:40.000An antitrust lawsuit, or possibly many, against Google from the DOJ and from the state attorney generals.
00:00:49.000And we don't have a ton of information available on that yet, but this is something that's been talked about now for two or three years.
00:00:59.000The administration has talked about, in various forms, pursuing some form of antitrust against Google.
00:01:06.000One of the big tech companies, Google in particular, but others have been talked about.
00:01:10.000And we haven't heard anything about that since.
00:01:13.000So finally, we've got a little update on that.
00:01:15.000It looks like it's likely that they're going to be pursuing this lawsuit.
00:01:20.000And according to this new report from the Wall Street Journal, potentially there could be a number of different lawsuits from different state attorney generals with all kinds of different subjects, all kinds of different legal theories that they're going to use to make the case about antitrust.
00:01:40.000We'll also be talking about the coronavirus.
00:01:43.000The president today talked about the lockdown, and he said today that we're going to open up the country with or without the vaccine, which is exactly what we needed to hear because we've been talking about all week how the goalposts have shifted on the nature or the purpose of the lockdown.
00:02:00.000We've been talking about it all week that back in March when all this craziness started, what did they say?
00:02:04.000They said shut down to flatten the curve.
00:02:09.000So, thankfully, the president today in the Rose Garden talked about a new project for exploring, I think, 14 or 15 different candidates to be a potential vaccine for the coronavirus.
00:02:23.000But he also said that we're going to open no matter what, which is good to hear.
00:02:26.000So, we'll talk a little bit about that as well.
00:02:28.000And it should be a pretty good show, pretty good stuff.
00:02:31.000You may notice I'm not wearing a necktie tonight.
00:02:34.000I'm wearing a Hawaiian shirt because it's nice outside, which indicates that we're going to be having a casual, relaxing, low key.
00:03:48.000We knew that from the beginning, but now it's indisputable based on the evidence.
00:03:53.000So we didn't even get to have another Trayvon moment.
00:03:56.000I thought we'd have another Trayvon thing, but the media is smart enough to drop it because they went from unarmed jogger to like burglar in three days or a week.
00:04:08.000But before we get into our big news tonight, before we get into Corona and the antitrust, do just want to remind everybody it's a little controversial, a little controversial, kind of caused a big controversy that our merch is now live, our new merch.
00:06:11.000We might as well make a shirt that says, keep calm and Groyper on.
00:06:14.000I said, we might as well make a shirt that says, straight out of Groyper.
00:06:18.000Or, I'm with Groyper with an arrow pointing over.
00:06:22.000I said, because that is so stupid and derivative.
00:06:24.000And you know, the more that I was saying that, the more that I talked about it, the more I thought to myself, that would be so funny if we had a shirt that said, I'm with Groyper.
00:06:34.000And obviously, the reason why it's funny is because it's totally stupid.
00:07:23.000I knew he was going to profit off Groyper, you know, and everybody's freaking out all over a little t shirt, you know.
00:07:30.000And I was talking to some people in the group chat.
00:07:34.000It's like you look at some of the stuff that other people will do online, and nobody gets half the hate or the criticism that I get, right?
00:07:43.000Scott Greer sent me an article in a group chat today talking about Augustus Invictus, who was like a big wig gnat.
00:07:53.000And I guess his dad just got convicted or charged with running a prostitution ring.
00:08:00.000And it's like, you know, a Wignat's father runs a prostitution ring.
00:08:04.000You know, Richard Spencer, a prostitution ring, Richard Spencer does whatever, you know, beats up his wife because she won't watch James Bond.
00:08:13.000And nobody does anything because it's all according to plan.
00:08:18.000But I drop one little t shirt, you know, one little I'm with Groyper t shirt.
00:08:23.000And everybody loses their minds because it's not a part of the plan.
00:08:28.000So, anyway, I mean, who cares if people are going to get mad?
00:08:32.000But it's just funny to me that we literally launched it as a joke, and I said, Watch how mad people are going to get over this shirt.
00:08:38.000And sure enough, you've got people freaking out.
00:08:42.000But we've sold like dozens of them already.
00:08:45.000I haven't checked the latest numbers, but after we launched the I'm with Groyper shirt, I went into the analytics just out of curiosity to see.
00:08:53.000You know, are people actually going to buy this?
00:08:55.000And like, we've already sold dozens of them.
00:09:05.000This past year, it's like I can't catch a break.
00:09:07.000Every little thing I do or say, it's either picked up by the Daily Dot or Jared Holt or, you know, Britney Venti and the Wignats and, you know, this collection of totally ass blasted haters.
00:10:57.000It says, quote, President Donald Trump has promised the U.S. will reopen vaccine or no vaccine.
00:11:04.000As he announced a plan to deliver a coronavirus jab by year end, he likened the vaccine project dubbed Operation Warp Speed to the World War II effort to produce the world's first nuclear weapons.
00:11:17.000But Mr. Trump emphasized vaccine or no vaccine, we're back.
00:11:22.000Without widespread testing, experts have said a vaccine would be needed to safely lift lockdown measures.
00:11:27.000Well, the experts are retarded, so they can shut up.
00:11:31.000We can't lift the restrictions until there's a vaccine.
00:11:35.000Okay, well, why don't we like put you in solitary confinement then until a vaccine is acquired, right?
00:11:41.000We can't open the country until we get a vaccine.
00:11:43.000It's like there's 30 million people filing for unemployment.
00:11:48.000Speaking at a White House Rose Garden news conference on Friday, Mr. Trump said the project would begin with studies on 14 promising vaccine candidates for accelerated research and approval.
00:12:00.000He said, That means big and it means fast.
00:12:03.000A massive scientific, industrial project, or rather, a scientific, industrial, and logistical project, unlike anything our country has seen since the Manhattan Project.
00:12:15.000Mr. Trump named an Army general and a former healthcare executive to lead the operation.
00:12:20.000A partnership between the government and the private sector to find and distribute a vaccine.
00:12:25.000Monsef Sluwe, I think I'm pronouncing that right, who previously led the vaccines division at pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline, will lead the mission, while General Gustav Perna, who oversees distribution for the U.S. Army, is to serve as chief operating officer.
00:12:44.000Speaking after Mr. Trump, Mr. Sluwe said he was confident that a few hundred million doses of vaccine will be delivered by the end of 2020.
00:12:54.000He says a few hundred million doses of a vaccine, which is not yet finished, will be delivered by 2020.
00:13:02.000He acknowledged in an earlier interview at the New York Times that the timeline was ambitious, but said he would not have committed unless I thought it was achievable.
00:13:11.000Mr. Trump made clear that even without a vaccine, Americans must begin to return to their lives as normal.
00:13:17.000He said, I don't want people to think this is all dependent on a vaccine.
00:13:21.000Vaccine or no vaccine, we're back and we're starting the process.
00:13:24.000In many cases, they don't have vaccines.
00:13:27.000And a virus or a flu comes and you fight through it.
00:13:30.000Other things have never had a vaccine and they go away.
00:13:34.000Mr. Trump said, I think the school should be back in the fall.
00:15:11.000It means that if enough people get immune from the virus, then the people that are vulnerable to it will sort of have this, they'll have the protection of the herd around them.
00:15:22.000In the sense that once people get sick, they get immune.
00:15:26.000Once they're immune, they can't get the virus.
00:15:30.000These people that are maybe between lots of people that are already immune will be protected from getting the virus.
00:15:37.000If you go to school and go to work and maybe half the people, let's say for the sake of example, have already gotten the virus, then that means that it's much harder for a vulnerable person, a new person, to contract the virus if they've got this wall of people around them that they're interacting with on a daily basis that are already immune.
00:15:55.000That makes it virtually impossible or very difficult for the virus to spread.
00:16:06.000Because if the virus is extremely contagious, the more contagious it is, the more people you need to be immune for you to have any kind of effective herd immunity.
00:16:16.000The higher the percentage of the population is that must become immune, in other words, have the virus that is required to have herd immunity in a meaningful and effective way.
00:16:27.000And this virus is so contagious, it spreads to so many people.
00:16:31.000I think some are saying that it's on average three people.
00:16:35.000Are infected per person, but some are saying it could be higher than that.
00:16:39.000You're talking about something like 90% of the population that would have to be sick in order to get herd immunity.
00:16:45.000And if 90 to 95% of the population must get the virus to achieve herd immunity, then it sort of defeats the purpose.
00:16:55.000You know, why would we even be looking for immunity in that way if everybody's just going to get the virus anyway?
00:17:01.000You know, that's not really a solution.
00:17:03.000So the only way that we're going to get out of this is with the vaccine.
00:17:07.000Because otherwise, we're just going to have to wait for everybody to get the virus and for like a million people to die, which doesn't make a lot of sense.
00:17:15.000So, to get the vaccine fast, to accelerate that process, that is necessary on handling the coronavirus.
00:17:23.000But what's far more important to me is that Trump is saying that with or without the vaccine, we're reopening.
00:17:29.000Because understand, and we've been saying this, so forgive me if this is a bit repetitive, but very important.
00:17:36.000We need to reopen the country no matter what, like no matter what happens.
00:17:42.000Because when you look at the hemorrhaging in every capacity, every metric that you can look at, whether that's GDP, unemployment, the employment rate, when you're looking at trade, output, cargo containers coming into different docks, like everything or ports, every metric that you can look at, it's catastrophic.
00:18:02.000It is like the worst since the Great Depression, maybe the worst, including the Great Depression.
00:18:23.000Some of the damage that's been done to retail, the damage that's been done to the service sector, the damage that's been done to a lot of poor and working class people, the damage is done.
00:19:22.000And reopening is not okay, virus is over, or we don't care about the virus.
00:19:27.000Reopening is we need to find a way to live with the virus for the time being, for however long that's going to be until we get the vaccine or indefinitely, and live in a way that we're going to minimize transmission and minimize fatalities.
00:20:40.000Is it the end of the world that you go to the post office and they're wiping down the door handle and they're wiping down the counter and they're doing vacuuming?
00:20:48.000I think it's actually a welcome improvement.
00:20:52.000Maybe I'm just a little bit germophobic, but I don't think it's the end of the world that people are doing away finally with a lot of these dishygienic or unhygienic practices that prevailed before.
00:21:05.000So I think a managed And sustainable reopening of the country is necessary, unavoidable.
00:21:12.000This just has to happen, and we have to figure it out.
00:21:15.000Again, it's not to say everybody just bum rushes back to the club and back to the bars and back to school and work, but it is to say that we'll have to find a way to live with this and strike a balance.
00:21:26.000Strike a balance between risk management, but also, you know, living our lives.
00:21:49.000And this was a big debate that happened back in, I think, April.
00:21:52.000When the president first started to talk about reopening the country around Easter, there was a big row about, well, whose responsibility is it anyway?
00:22:01.000Whose authority, I should say, is it anyway to reopen the states?
00:22:05.000Because if you recall, in mid March, although the president issued the guidelines and the White House issued the guidelines and the recommendations, it was the states.
00:22:15.000That actually shut down, you know, it's the governors rather that shut down the states, the state governments that shut down their states.
00:22:22.000And so since April, the consensus has been that it is the authority of the governors to reopen the states, not the president.
00:22:30.000So, in as much as the president can say we're reopening, we're opening no matter what, I mean, it is up to Cuomo and Pritzker and Newsom and all the different governors in the states as to whether or not they'll reopen.
00:22:43.000Some states have been open throughout the whole thing, some states are already reopened, like Florida, Texas.
00:22:50.000Tennessee, Oklahoma, Georgia, South Carolina, and then some states or some cities or counties like LA County will be closed until August, potentially.
00:23:01.000So it's really not up to the president.
00:23:27.000That's a respectable profession, don't get me wrong.
00:23:30.000Coming from me, as a YouTuber, right, or as a live streamer, I will give credit where credit is due.
00:23:37.000A doctor is quite a respectable position.
00:23:40.000But a doctor is not experienced enough, a doctor is not qualified, and moreover, a doctor does not have the authority to govern the United States of America.
00:23:51.000So when I hear Dr. Fauci contradict the president or roll his eyes at the president, I think that this little pipsqueak should be put in jail.
00:23:59.000Who are you to roll your eyes at the president?
00:24:01.000We're in the middle of a national crisis.
00:24:03.000And you might be the specialist in this area, but we're looking at the leader of our nation, the head of state, not you, not some fad with a stethoscope and a lab coat.
00:24:14.000Why don't you worry about test tubes and petri dishes and all that, microscopes, and you let Donald Trump worry about the affairs of our nation?
00:24:26.000Let the head of state worry about the affairs of state.
00:24:29.000So, I see this Fauci everywhere, and it's, you know, we can't reopen yet, and that's a bad idea.
00:24:37.000I can't wait until we're done with this guy and the girl with the scarf and all these doctors.
00:24:43.000They don't know anything, you know, because I'm reading every day in the Wall Street Journal about, you know, the economy is never going to recover.
00:24:50.000All these businesses that are going bankrupt now, they're not coming back.
00:24:55.000You know, JCPenney filed for bankruptcy today, J. Crew filed for bankruptcy.
00:25:00.000And maybe not those stores in particular will go out of business, but this is only accelerating what was already taking place.
00:25:08.000If you thought malls and retail and some of these services and small businesses were struggling before the virus because of Amazon and online retail and all these other things, they're not coming back after this.
00:25:24.000And I've been saying this, but it's 30 million unemployment claims now, 3 million in the last week.
00:25:29.000That was the news from the report today.
00:25:32.000And those 30 million people making jobless claims, a lot of them will still be unemployed next year and the year after that.
00:25:39.000And this temporary unemployment will become permanent for a lot of them.
00:25:44.000And where's the consideration for that?
00:25:46.000Where's the consideration for the families that they can't go back to work even in some cases because they can't send their kids back to school?
00:25:55.000And it's causing so many complications and so many problems for people.
00:26:00.000And that's not to say that it's not important.
00:26:04.000That we take care of the risk of contracting coronavirus or dying from it, but it is to say that that is one consideration among many for people.
00:26:14.000And it's up to people to decide what level of risk they want to accept.
00:26:21.000There's no vaccine, so you have to leave it in the hands of people as to whether or not they want to risk it all and go and eat inside of a restaurant or send their kids to school or if they want to shelter in place for the rest of their lives or for two years or three years or whatever.
00:26:38.000Because the government's not helping anybody out right now.
00:26:41.000So, as far as I'm concerned, the government either has to help everybody get through all of this and alleviate all those problems.
00:26:48.000If it's going to be dictator Fauci deciding who gets to leave their house and who doesn't and when we get to reintegrate or whatever, then Fauci better be writing us a big fat check for all the foregone wages.
00:26:59.000And he better figure out how we're going to get meat produced in this country and figure out how we're going to acquire all these materials that have been shut down because the supply chains are closed.
00:27:09.000And if that's not going to happen, then people have to be able to go back into the country.
00:27:53.000I'm not going to be happy if they extend it another month.
00:27:56.000I'm shaving the beard June 1st, no matter what.
00:27:59.000The beard is coming off June 1st, and I better be able to get a haircut because I don't know if I'm going to look good with a mullet, you know, or just long hair, I guess.
00:28:10.000I don't know if it has to be a mullet, but we got to get moving over here.
00:28:16.000Hopefully, all this will be in the rearview mirror soon.
00:28:20.000I got to say, this administration's on top of things.
00:28:22.000Got to give credit where credit is due.
00:28:24.000As far as the vaccine goes, as far as the public health aspect is gone, I don't think the shutdown has been very productive.
00:28:31.000But I think that when you look at how the federal government has handled the coronavirus pandemic itself, maybe not the shutdown and the economy and all that, but everything that the executive department has done, right, or the executive, what is that, branch has done with regards to coronavirus, the disease, I think it's all been great.
00:28:52.000The testing, Ordering the medical supplies, ventilators, making sure hospitals are open.
00:29:50.000Nobody has gone without a ventilator who needed one.
00:29:52.000Nobody's gone without bed space who needed it, right?
00:29:55.000I mean, as far as I'm concerned, all of that has been handled very well.
00:29:58.000The vaccine resources are pouring into that.
00:30:01.000The only problems are the shutdown, which is the states.
00:30:04.000You know, that's Gavin Newsom and Pritzker and Cuomo and Tom Wolf from Pennsylvania.
00:30:11.000And the other problem is the stimulus, and that's Mitch McConnell.
00:30:14.000It's Mitch McConnell saying, we're not going to spend any more.
00:30:17.000The White House said they would support another round of $1,200 checks.
00:30:21.000And they said that they would actually want more than that.
00:30:23.000If you remember the initial negotiations over the cash payment, the White House said they wanted to see more than $1,200 and more than one check.
00:30:32.000And this is the tale as old as time in this administration.
00:30:35.000How many times have we seen Donald Trump say one thing and Paul Ryan or Mitch McConnell and Nancy Pelosi have delivered something else, right?
00:30:43.000I know Paul Ryan hasn't been speaker in a long time, but you get the picture.
00:30:47.000Donald Trump will say, We want this much for the wall or we want this much for whatever.
00:30:52.000And the Republican congressional leadership comes back and says, Oh, we got none of that, actually.
00:30:57.000So you have to sort of give credit where credit's due.
00:32:25.000But if this is anything like what we've heard in the past three years, nothing to get that excited over.
00:32:31.000But this is a report from, I think this is from CNBC.
00:32:37.000It says Google will likely face at least one antitrust lawsuit related to its advertising business from both the U.S. Department of Justice and state attorney generals in the coming months.
00:32:48.000Shares of Google parent Alphabet drop sharply on the news, down as much as 3% after hours.
00:32:54.000The DOJ is aiming to file a case as soon as this summer, according to the report.
00:33:00.000At least some of the state attorney generals involved in the multi state probe led by Texas are likely to file suit in the fall.
00:33:10.000A representative for Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton did not immediately respond to CNBC's request for comment.
00:33:17.000A Google spokesperson said in a statement We continue to engage with the ongoing investigations led by the DOJ and the state AGs.
00:33:25.000We don't have any updates or comments on speculation.
00:33:29.000Our focus is firmly on providing services, blah, The state's investigation has been mostly focused on Google's online advertising business, according to the report, although CNBC previously reported that its scope had expanded to include both search and its Android mobile operating system.
00:33:48.000Even if some states bring a suit against Google related to its ad business, it's possible that others could choose to pursue separate cases following different legal theories.
00:33:57.000So, the speculation about this probe from the DOJ. Is about the advertising business in particular.
00:34:04.000But they say that this very well could expand to multiple other areas like their search function, their operating system, a number of other different activities that Google does.
00:34:16.000And they could even make different arguments about the different activities too.
00:34:21.000Once the floodgates open on this, we may see a lot of lawsuits from the different states.
00:34:27.000It says it remains to be seen whether the state and federal enforcers will join together in a case against Google or go off on their own.
00:34:35.000State attorney generals usually welcome the opportunity to work alongside federal enforcers who bring a vast trove of resources to the table.
00:34:44.000But the relationship between the states and the DOJ has appeared fraught over the past few years, most clearly when a group of state attorney generals challenged the department's approval of T Mobile's merger with Sprint, which ultimately cleared.
00:34:58.000The report suggests that enforcers have not been slowed down by the coronavirus pandemic, which has caused most of their staff, like other workers throughout the country, to work remotely.
00:35:08.000Both the DOJ and Texas's Paxton have signaled that they were fully open for business during the crisis.
00:35:15.000The news comes nearly one year after reports began surfacing that the DOJ had begun a probe into the company's competitive business practices.
00:35:23.000Google also faces a probe by the House Judiciary Committee alongside three of its tech peers.
00:35:29.000That probe, which is now expected to wrap up in the spring, will culminate with legislative proposals rather than an enforcement action.
00:35:37.000Google previously faced a federal investigation by the FTC regarding its search business, but the FTC closed that case in 2013, unanimously opting not to bring a lawsuit.
00:35:48.000So, this is where we are with the antitrust probe.
00:36:30.000But I will say that this is the number one thing, honestly.
00:36:34.000If President Trump did nothing else for the rest of the year, except for to focus on tech censorship and to fix this issue in particular, it would have been a successful first term, just on that basis alone.
00:36:48.000Because I don't think people understand the extent to which we are entirely dependent.
00:36:54.000On social media and dependent on using and having access to the internet.
00:37:00.000If we don't have that, we are dead in the water as dissidents, as America First, as nationalists, because you got to think about what is the media landscape.
00:37:13.000It's print, it's radio, it's TV, and now that's the legacy system, right?
00:37:20.000And now there's social media and the internet.
00:41:26.000How are we going to have a movement that lasts even 10 years if we're kicked out of the most recent developments of the last 20 years on the internet, right?
00:41:35.000There's no way that we're going to survive without social media and more broadly the internet.
00:41:40.000So that is why, and I've made this argument before.
00:42:08.000And if you can't do that, you can't do anything.
00:42:11.000The people that are running the country are the people that are influencing minds, they're the ones raising money, they're the ones winning elected office.
00:42:18.000And as far as I'm concerned, you're not able to do any of those things if you can't participate in the internet.
00:42:25.000So, if Trump fixes social media, and I don't know what this will produce because we don't know what this lawsuit will even look like.
00:42:33.000But if this, in combination with the House Judiciary Committee probe, is that what it is?
00:42:38.000Yeah, the House Judiciary Committee probe, and with the FTC, and maybe legislation, if some combination of these things can produce some viable way for us that we, in the long term, can remain on the internet, that will literally save the American right.
00:42:56.000That will literally save the American right from total extinction because that's what we're facing.
00:43:02.000We are increasingly being pushed over a cliff.
00:43:34.000Slowly being pushed off all the platforms.
00:43:36.000They're slowly tightening up the restrictions and terms of service on all the platforms so that increasingly you can't say anything opposed to the liberal consensus.
00:43:47.000This isn't a matter of months, maybe a few years at the most, before everybody's wiped out from everything permanently with no recourse, no alternatives.
00:43:59.000That is total annihilation, total extinction.
00:44:03.000If Trump can just simply do an executive order or fight to get a law passed in Congress, Or maybe these lawsuits produce something, we can prevent that outcome.
00:44:16.000That's not a guarantee that we're going to fix anything or do some great thing, but that guarantees that there's a chance, there's a possibility that if we're online and things really start to go down in this country, that white people, other America First people, will look at us and they'll say, that's the movement that might bring back the country.
00:45:23.000We're not dinosaurs that will have to resort to printing a magazine or, I don't even know, going up to weathermen and snatching their microphones and saying, Google the USS Liberty.
00:45:36.000I'm not advocating that you do that, but those would be the only ways that we would achieve any kind of mass exposure because the whole internet and the whole country will be subject to the Reddit rules, right?
00:45:49.000Don't be mean, don't fat shame, don't be racist, don't be transphobic, don't be a terrible human being.
00:45:54.000This will be the rules that will guide political conduct for all of the society for the rest of our lives if we don't do something now.
00:46:06.000There are some things about antitrust, which, you know, if they're only going after the advertisers, as an example, this is something that may hurt Google in the long term, but I don't know how that's going to tangibly and meaningfully.
00:46:22.000Make it easier for me to remain on like YouTube.
00:46:54.000Because it's the keyboard warriors that are driving this ideological, cultural revolution in the party.
00:47:01.000And the more that his supporters are banned, it's already happened and it's happening right now, the more it'll be impossible to elect people like Trump because that's where politics is taking place, the conversations and the elections.
00:47:13.000So I hope that these lawsuits turn into something.
00:47:17.000I'm honestly not optimistic that they will.
00:47:20.000We'll see what it looks like in the summer.
00:47:22.000We'll see what it looks like in the fall.
00:47:46.000But fundamentally, if there's nobody to talk about it, what difference does it make?
00:47:50.000If there's nobody to talk about the problems that are going on, if there's nobody to report on them, what difference does it make?
00:47:56.000We could fight all we want to try and change things, but we're always going to be outnumbered in terms of manpower and resources and influence and reach.
00:48:05.000If we don't have access to these platforms or have influencers or even the ability to fundraise, right?
00:48:36.000But you can only make the country better if you're in power.
00:48:40.000So, really, making the country better actually takes a back seat to ensuring your own political advantage.
00:48:46.000Do you see how one thing enables the other thing?
00:48:49.000It's not to say that we're putting party over country, which is what some people say, but in order to do what is best for the country, the party must necessarily be in control of the country.
00:49:01.000So, necessarily, gaining power must take precedence over literally everything else.
00:49:07.000Literally everything and anything else before any autistic conversation, any policymaking, anything like that, you must wield power to do anything.
00:49:20.000That's why Pete Buttigieg campaigns on eliminating the Electoral College.
00:49:26.000And he campaigns on doing no voter ID.
00:49:28.000And he campaigns on letting felons vote.
00:49:30.000And he campaigns on packing the courts.
00:49:33.000Because Pete Buttigieg understands, and the Democrats broadly understand, that what you first must achieve and what you first must acquire.
00:50:34.000That's what Mitt Romney is, that's what John McCain is.
00:50:37.000They represent these consensus picks, they represent these picks that are safe and moderate and ultimately a big middle finger to the voters.
00:50:47.000And Republicans have to figure out that's not what you got to do.
00:50:50.000You got to win an election and then put everybody in your campaign who is personally loyal to you in charge of the cabinet.
00:50:56.000And then use the cabinet and the White House to first ensure your reelection by rigging votes, by rigging the system, bribing your own voters, bribing new voters.
00:51:09.000And then once you've got a firm grasp on the state apparatus, then that is when you can change things.
00:51:16.000First, you protect your guys on the internet.
00:51:17.000Not only do you help the people you like, but you punish your enemies.
00:51:21.000You punish Democrats, you punish Democrat cities, you take all the refugees and put them in the middle of the nice districts.
00:51:29.000Open up Section 8 housing in the middle of the Gold Coast in Chicago.
00:51:32.000Things like that is what I'd like to see.
00:51:35.000Rip the Democrat states to pieces and target Democrat people.
00:51:40.000I don't mean like in a violent way, but this is what Barack Obama did.
00:51:44.000He used the IRS to target the nonprofit status of conservative organizations, he used the EPA to go after gun manufacturers, he used HUD to go after white neighborhoods.
00:51:57.000There was a rule that went down in housing and urban development.
00:52:00.000It said that if you're more than 50% white, they're going to open up Section 8 housing in your neighborhood and they're going to bring in immigrants and refugees and all that.
00:52:09.000So it's like not only do you have to help your own, but you got to punish the enemy.
00:52:13.000Our people just don't understand politics.
00:52:16.000Well, I guess they understand politics.
00:53:02.000You know, pack up your shit and go wait for, you know, something to change.
00:53:08.000Because otherwise, it's like, I don't know what we're going to do.
00:53:13.000That's not to say that it's impossible, but that is going to make it very, very, very, very difficult.
00:53:19.000We're going to have to wait for, like, something catastrophic, some kind of wild, you know, change in fortunes and circumstances for us to have any kind of shot at changing anything if we're denied access to these platforms long term.
00:54:01.000And if you think that that wasn't important, then why did the powers that be first take control of the media?
00:54:08.000You know, if none of that mattered, then why did they care so much about controlling the alphabet channels, you know, ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox?
00:54:18.000Why did they care so much about search algorithms and what videos are being recommended and SEO and search results, right?
00:54:28.000Why would they be so concerned about making sure that Alex Jones can never be seen on a major platform if it was as simple as oh, you're just mad because your Twitter account got banned?
00:54:38.000They know the power that social media holds.
00:56:32.000Lifelong socialist says, just clocked out of my wagey job sitting in the McDonald's parking lot with a McDonald's parking lot with a McDonald's and America First.
00:58:39.000Usually it starts out at about 7,000 at the beginning of the week and then tapers down to between 5,000 and 6,000 towards the end of the week.
00:58:46.000But yeah, but there's a lot of haters.
00:59:20.000You said it would happen and they predictably took the bait.
00:59:23.000I saw people on the saying that you're on Twitter, I think you mean.
00:59:27.000A lot of errors in this one saying that you're a grifter because you were selling merch as if you're supposed to give it away for free or something.
00:59:34.000Did the Groyper grifter thing already fail?
01:00:59.000The trip to Israel and all the Zionist attempts to buy me out, I turned down the job at Daily Wire so that I could get banned from YouTube, chased all over the internet, banned from PayPal, get people seeking me out, trying to ruin my life, doxing me, lying about me, all so that I can make a little bit of money off of merch.
01:01:19.000Wow, yeah, that would make me the dumbest businessman in the world, right?
01:01:25.000Yeah, if I was a grifter, I definitely wouldn't have taken the trip to Israel and become like a millionaire because I'm a genius and I'm the most talented person that does this.
01:01:35.000The real grifter move would be to say the things that get you banned and to say the things that get you totally blacklisted and then sell merchandise that people were asking for.
01:01:45.000Sell merchandise on an ever increasingly more obscure platform because you get deplatformed everywhere.
01:07:52.000Like, I'm going to get myself in trouble because I'm simply too funny.
01:07:56.000You know, I take it too far and I forget that I'm like trying to be a political guy and I'm not just trying to piss people off by being funny.
01:08:04.000Like, the guy with the Groyper shirt is a perfect example of that, you know?
01:08:07.000That's something that like most people are not going to get because most people are dumb, you know?
01:08:13.000But I did it because it is so funny to me that I'm like, we have to do this.
01:08:18.000Even like with the race mixed, the black guy and the white girl in the picture.
01:08:22.000Like, you know, that's something where people, I'm sure, are like, come on, man.
01:08:25.000But it's just, but I get such a kick out of it, I can't help myself.
01:08:28.000I can't help myself but to antagonize, you know, and to do stuff like that that is increasingly, you know, esoteric and inaccessible.
01:08:38.000And that, you know, it's a smaller and smaller percentage of the movement that are going to understand it.
01:08:43.000And most people will be like, this guy's, you know, he's weird.
01:12:36.000And now the next step will be the antibody tests.
01:12:39.000And once we can get a serious look at how many people have the antibodies, then we'll really get an idea.
01:12:46.000Of how many people have the virus, what the real death rate is, what the real transmission rate looks like, and then we'll really know what we're dealing with.
01:12:53.000But thanks for the big super chat, much appreciated.
01:13:35.000But I will tell you that by this time next year, well, really, by the end of this year, we will be in a really, really good position.
01:13:45.000And that's the thing people are looking at this timeline.
01:13:48.000And they're looking at the past three years.
01:13:50.000You have to think about the next five years or the next 10 years.
01:13:54.000And we are literally at the beginning of the beginning.
01:13:57.000The show is three years old, it feels like a long time.
01:14:01.000But we are at the beginning of the beginning.
01:14:04.000The things that we are putting in motion right now are going to put us in a position in 2021 and beyond for the rest of this decade of the 2020s to really make a difference.
01:14:26.000For all the haters that are out there, all the complainers, the eternal critique and seething, nobody is out there doing anything productive.
01:14:35.000And you'll see what I mean by the end of this year.
01:14:37.000Nobody is even attempting what we're doing.
01:17:40.000And I think that's all just a big cope for big babies.
01:17:44.000And, you know, there's a lot of reasons for that.
01:17:47.000I think one of the big reasons is that people had, like, bad childhoods.
01:17:52.000I feel like, and I feel like I've read this before too, people who never move on beyond their childhood don't because they didn't have a satisfying childhood.
01:18:03.000I feel like they think that they can sort of recapture something or get another shot at that, and they are in this perpetual state of childhood because they were never content to close the door on it because there's this lingering dissatisfaction or FOMO.
01:18:23.000I feel like that's the case with a lot of people because.
01:18:25.000At least for me, it's like I'm ready, man.
01:18:40.000I'm ready to, you know, be a professional.
01:18:43.000And, you know, a lot of my peers just graduated college.
01:18:46.000I've been working my ass off for the past two years.
01:18:49.000And, yeah, you know, I do recreational stuff on the side, but I'm focused on work.
01:18:54.000I'm focused on, you know, doing things.
01:18:57.000So, and I think that's generally true.
01:19:00.000Maybe that's just an idiosyncratic thing.
01:19:03.000Maybe that's just me, but I feel like.
01:19:05.000For the most part, the people that cannot move on beyond their childhood are people that, you know, maybe they had an unfulfilled childhood or they just have that deep longing in their souls.
01:19:15.000It's fundamentally about incompleteness.
01:19:18.000And a lack of discipline plays a part, too.
01:19:21.000Because, you know, you could have an incomplete childhood, but still move on with your life.
01:23:05.000Maybe make one called I'm Not Politically Correct, Just Correct, and draw your face as a Pepe with a Groyper army stomping on the liberals in the back.
01:23:33.000Yeah, it's a good, it's a nice balance.
01:23:36.000Because you know, you've got the show, which is obviously very like heady, and it's sometimes even a little bit too much for me, believe me.
01:23:47.000And then you got Jaden, who's a schmoozer.
01:23:48.000You know, it's this show, and I'm talking about politics and news and blah blah blah.
01:23:52.000And then Jaden's just chilling, you know, so it's a good balance, good little yin and yang diversity, right?
01:23:59.000So, not to say that he doesn't do politics, not to say that I don't do gaming from time to time, but yeah, it's good stuff, it's a good combo.
01:24:07.000WTF says, press D if you like dubstep.
01:27:07.000I just got Albion's Seed on the recommendation of Michelle Malkin, which I actually have had that on my book list for years, but she said it was one of the best, so I ordered it.
01:28:56.000When you play risk, some people will cash in their cards and they'll get a big troop surge.
01:29:03.000And they'll use that to take as many territories as possible.
01:29:06.000And then they're spread out super thin and then they.
01:29:08.000All those gains are erased within, like, you know, a few turns.
01:29:11.000A smart risk player will take, you know, just enough territories to get another card on the next turn, maybe to secure a continent, and then they'll fortify.
01:29:20.000And then they'll wait for the next big push, you know.
01:31:03.000National socialism is different than fascism.
01:31:05.000It's a brand of fascism, but it is a right wing ideology, fundamentally.
01:31:13.000Don't get me wrong, there are left wing components of national socialism in particular, but to argue that Hitler was like a leftist is retarded.
01:31:23.000Portland Groyper says, How are you doing, Nick?
