America First - Nicholas J. Fuentes - TOTAL LOCKDOWN - Los Angeles Extends Quarantine Until August | America First Ep. 603

00:00:03.000 America first is inevitable.

00:00:13.000 It's unstoppable.

00:00:18.000 And the reason why is because it's not cool to shill for big business. 0.85

00:00:33.000 It's not cool to shill for Israel. 0.63

00:00:34.000 It's not.

00:00:35.000 How you put so much faith on your side, except to put it to the point of the Savior.

00:00:35.000 It's hey.

00:00:40.000 I still look at me, but that's a fact.

00:00:42.000 I'm mad, that's all God.

00:00:44.000 It's like shine bright, it's in the dark. 1.00

00:00:47.000 But even the motherfuckers know they get my heart. 1.00

00:00:50.000 And I'm on my bus, I'm locked up on the yard. 1.00

00:01:01.000 Gotta end it, that's a week.

00:01:04.000 The end of commander and the chief.

00:01:07.000 That's a team.

00:01:08.000 I fear and that's a God.

00:01:10.000 When you remove the somebody right now that's only This is a mirror mirror.

00:01:36.000 [long gap]

00:47:25.000 We're watching America First.

00:47:26.000 My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes.

00:47:28.000 We have a great show for you tonight.

00:47:30.000 Very excited to be back with you here tonight on Tuesday.

00:47:34.000 And there's a lot to talk about tonight, lots to get into.

00:47:38.000 Our main story is we're going to be talking about what's happening in California.

00:47:43.000 And so, really, it's another coronavirus show, which I'm actually not too upset about because it's been a while, I feel like, since we talked about the coronavirus.

00:47:55.000 You know, there was a time.

00:47:56.000 In March and April, when every single night it was Corona.

00:48:02.000 And then we got a little vacation from that with the Maude Arbery and a number of other things, TikTok and all that.

00:48:10.000 But now it feels like a nice little return to form for the show.

00:48:14.000 But it's not totally about the boring Corona stuff, which is the public health side of things.

00:48:19.000 Tonight we're going to be looking more at the economic side of things.

00:48:22.000 And the main story tonight is about what's happening in California.

00:48:26.000 And you might have seen this on Twitter.

00:48:28.000 I almost couldn't even believe that this was real.

00:48:31.000 I thought it was fake initially.

00:48:33.000 But Los Angeles County is now extending their stay at home order or their lockdown for three more months until August.

00:48:42.000 In addition to that, California is shutting down all their state schools for the remainder of 2020.

00:48:48.000 All the state universities, the California State University System is closed, obviously, not just for the spring semester and for any activity in the summer.

00:48:58.000 But they announced today that they're closed for the fall semester, too.

00:49:03.000 So we'll talk about what's happening in California and in some other states, including mine.

00:49:08.000 For example, Illinois.

00:49:10.000 The governor of Illinois, J.B. Pritzker, announced this week that Illinois won't reopen until a vaccine is developed.

00:49:17.000 This stuff is insane.

00:49:18.000 So we'll talk about that.

00:49:19.000 That'll be our main story.

00:49:21.000 And then we're also going to talk about the economy and the recovery.

00:49:25.000 And it's amazing, just like clockwork.

00:49:27.000 What did I say about the recovery just last week?

00:49:31.000 All the economists.

00:49:33.000 Since this started, and some to this day have been saying that the economy will recover in a V shape.

00:49:39.000 They say that we'll have a V shaped recovery, shaped like the letter V. And what does that mean?

00:49:45.000 It means that the economy, of course, has collapsed.

00:49:49.000 Unemployment is 15%, 20 million jobs lost.

00:49:53.000 The employment rate is down to something like 55%.

00:49:57.000 The economy is going to contract by 7% this year, more than 7%.

00:50:02.000 But many are saying that maybe this is okay, or maybe we can process this mentally.

00:50:07.000 Or weather it financially because it will drop off and then it will, in just the same way that it steeply fell off, it will rise up in the opposite direction, like a V, right?

00:50:19.000 Rapid decline and then a rapid increase.

00:50:23.000 But I've been saying for a long time, and I think I said last week, that this is not going to be the case.

00:50:28.000 It's not going to be a V shaped recovery.

00:50:30.000 In other words, we're not going to get back to where we were in 2019 or early 2020 until at least 2022.

00:50:38.000 And maybe even beyond that.

00:50:40.000 Some are saying it could be five years, some are saying it could be three years, but it's definitely not going to recover anytime soon.

00:50:48.000 And in spite of what I think is the obvious, people have been saying, no, no, there's nothing to worry about.

00:50:53.000 It's going to be V shaped.

00:50:55.000 And the evidence is now mounting, and we're going to look at an article today from the Wall Street Journal that I'm right.

00:51:01.000 Like I said, just like clockwork, I said last week, no V shaped recovery, and surprise, surprise, maybe this is not going to be the case.

00:51:10.000 And you know, actually, on this, Economic narrative in particular, I think we're starting to see a pattern, which is that everyone is lying to us.

00:51:21.000 And everyone is always lying to us in general.

00:51:25.000 And I'm talking about the media and the government and the UN and all that and the news.

00:51:32.000 But now more than ever, they're lying about everything.

00:51:35.000 And they're deliberately lying about everything.

00:51:38.000 And there's actually a very specific reason why they're lying.

00:51:42.000 It reminds me of like with the masks or even the initial stay at home orders.

00:51:48.000 They know that if they told us how bad it really is, that people would panic.

00:51:54.000 And to me, this is the pattern with every piece of information that we've heard so far about everything about the virus, about the lockdown, and about the economy.

00:52:05.000 They know that if they told us the extent of the problem, any of these problems, that the whole country would go upside down, that there would be riots, that people would freak out, maybe they'd pull their money out of the banks, people would take severe and drastic actions.

00:52:24.000 Lie and they changed their story over the course of a few weeks or a few months.

00:52:29.000 We saw this, I think, most prominently with the masks.

00:52:33.000 What did they tell us initially when the outbreak first started in the United States?

00:52:38.000 They said that masks don't help you.

00:52:40.000 They don't help you.

00:52:41.000 Don't bother wearing them.

00:52:43.000 The only people that need to wear masks are people that already have it, but it won't protect you if you don't have it.

00:52:49.000 Oh, really?

00:52:50.000 Then why are surgeons, doctors, nurses, other healthcare professionals, why are they all using masks?

00:52:57.000 Oh, well, um, Because they're more exposed to the virus.

00:53:02.000 Okay, well, either they help or they don't.

00:53:04.000 So, which is it?

00:53:05.000 Now, this was obvious that the masks would prevent an airborne illness from being contracted.

00:53:11.000 You would be better suited against the virus by wearing a mask.

00:53:16.000 But they said that that wasn't the case.

00:53:18.000 Obviously, that wasn't true.

00:53:19.000 And now, slowly but surely, they're saying, oh, well, gee, turns out the masks actually do help.

00:53:25.000 And you can't go inside a store without one.

00:53:27.000 And you can't leave your house without one.

00:53:29.000 And you can't ride the bus without one.

00:53:31.000 Really?

00:53:32.000 So, did you just learn that an airborne respiratory virus, you know, that you could protect yourself with a mask?

00:53:39.000 Or is that something that you lied about because you knew that people would panic by masks and then you couldn't have them for doctors?

00:53:46.000 So you lied, and now that the healthcare professionals are taken care of and production is ramped up, now you can tell the truth.

00:53:52.000 And the same is true with the quarantine.

00:53:54.000 And we're going to explore this later on.

00:53:56.000 But the same is true, by the way, with the quarantine.

00:53:59.000 What did they tell us in mid March about the stay at home orders?

00:54:03.000 They said that they would be voluntary and they said that they would be temporary.

00:54:07.000 What did they say?

00:54:08.000 14 days to stop the spread, 15 days to stop the spread?

00:54:12.000 Two weeks and voluntary.

00:54:14.000 That was in mid March.

00:54:16.000 Now they're telling us in mid May that the quarantine will be extended for three more months.

00:54:23.000 And if you violate it, you get put in jail and you get a fine.

00:54:28.000 And I think they have been doing this because they know that if they went out in mid March and told us, You're not getting out of your house until August, and if you do, you get arrested.

00:54:38.000 That people would flip, that people would disobey.

00:54:42.000 There would be mass demonstrations against this.

00:54:45.000 You know, people would be furious if they were told that in March.

00:54:49.000 But now that people have been slowly, well, we're going to do a two week ban, and then we'll extend the two week ban by another two week ban, and then, well, it's up to the states, and the states are going to extend it by three more months.

00:55:00.000 They know that this gradual, incremental approach will not rouse a big reaction.

00:55:06.000 And the same is true with the economy.

00:55:08.000 People are telling the economists, the experts, they're telling everybody the economy's gonna be fine.

00:55:14.000 Nobody's panicking.

00:55:15.000 Wall Street, if you look at the stock market, it's like miraculous, right?

00:55:19.000 If you look at the SP 500, the Dow, I mean, it slipped a little bit today, but it's been doing well given all the numbers that we've been seeing.

00:55:28.000 Consumer confidence is coming out, unemployment, all that.

00:55:32.000 And I think they know full well what's going on with that, too.

00:55:36.000 If they told people that the economy is entering a depression and all these jobs aren't coming back, and the people that are temporarily laid off are going to be permanently laid off, they know that.

00:55:48.000 Once again, there would be massive discontent, massive outrage.

00:55:51.000 So they tell people, you're only temporarily unemployed.

00:55:54.000 And, you know, here's a little check and everything's going to be fine.

00:55:58.000 Never mind the fact that, like, almost none of these major industries are going to recover even 50% by the end of the year, you know, let alone get back to where we were a few months ago.

00:56:09.000 So, anyway, that's the pattern I'm noticing.

00:56:10.000 But we're going to get into all of that.

00:56:12.000 I kind of just explained all of it, but we'll get more into all that and all the details.

00:56:17.000 Like I said, we'll talk about the economy and then about the quarantine.

00:56:20.000 But, I'm just losing my mind because they're lying.

00:56:23.000 They've been lying.

00:56:24.000 And they almost make a fool out of me because I said initially the shutdown is good and, you know, actually this is super, super deadly and all this because they were lying to us.

00:56:36.000 And, you know, some of it maybe they didn't have all the information, but clearly we're seeing a lot of lies, right?

00:56:42.000 So I'm almost, you know, people said maybe a month ago, oh, Nick, you're doing a 180.

00:56:47.000 At first you were in favor of the shutdown and now you're not.

00:56:50.000 Now I think I'm basically in 180 territory.

00:56:53.000 And I don't think it's fair to say that that was because I was dishonest or anything like that, but simply because the information that we were given in March was either incomplete or totally a lie.

00:57:03.000 And now it's a totally different picture.

00:57:05.000 We're not going to get out until August, and we'll get into why that is later on.

00:57:09.000 But yeah, I think I firmly moved from sort of maybe in the middle or maybe even biased towards this public health argument and definitely now in favor of it's time to reopen the country now.

00:57:22.000 It's time for people to go back outside.

00:57:24.000 I don't trust these doctors, I don't trust the scientists.

00:57:27.000 I don't trust the government.

00:57:28.000 Shame on anybody for doing that to begin with, right?

00:57:31.000 Now it just looks like, and I haven't been one of these people doing the conspiracy theories, but now it does just look like a giant control apparatus.

00:57:40.000 What is the argument for keeping everybody locked down?

00:57:45.000 And we'll get into that.

00:57:45.000 I don't see it.

00:57:46.000 But we're going to start by talking about the economy, then we'll get into the quarantine.

00:57:52.000 I don't really have a fun anecdote or anything.

00:57:54.000 I guess I will say one thing before we dive right into it, if we haven't already.

00:57:59.000 I don't know if you saw this on Twitter today, but this is just a small development I wanted to talk about before we move on.

00:58:05.000 And it was shocking to me.

00:58:08.000 I went on Twitter today.

00:58:10.000 I was in the shower and I got the music blasting.

00:58:14.000 And I go on Twitter, I'm hanging out, and I see that my Twitter account got locked today.

00:58:19.000 I don't know if you guys saw this.

00:58:21.000 I tweeted about it.

00:58:22.000 But my Twitter account got locked today.

00:58:25.000 And I was surprised because I don't tweet anything that violates the TOS.

00:58:30.000 Anything that even comes close, I delete it within an hour.

00:58:34.000 And if you follow me, you know that.

00:58:35.000 I'll tweet something that's a little bit out there.

00:58:38.000 Excuse me.

00:58:38.000 It's either a little bit out there or it's very out there, but I always delete the controversial stuff.

00:58:44.000 I don't really reply to people that much anymore.

00:58:46.000 I don't, you know, I've learned at this point to play very conservatively on Twitter.

00:58:51.000 So I was like, why am I locked?

00:58:53.000 And it turns out I got not one, but two DMCA notices from Twitter from Charlie Kirk.

00:59:01.000 A DMCA is a copyright thing.

00:59:05.000 I don't know what DMCA stands for.

00:59:06.000 I don't know exactly, but when I post, if you post copyrighted material, the copyright owner makes a claim.

00:59:15.000 And this is actually like a very legal thing.

00:59:17.000 This is not something that's handled by Twitter or YouTube.

00:59:20.000 This is like a legal process.

00:59:22.000 They file a DMCA request and demand that you take down the copyrighted content.

00:59:28.000 So I had posted in early April a couple of clips from Charlie Kirk's Culture War tour where he said, I'm in favor of limitless immigration. 0.70

00:59:37.000 I want. 0.91

00:59:38.000 Green card staple to diplomas.

00:59:39.000 I think we could take in 40 million temporary work visa holders.

00:59:44.000 And I posted those clips in response to a tweet by Charlie Kirk where he said, you know, that he was in favor of an immigration shutdown.

00:59:52.000 He supported the president's executive order, all that.

00:59:55.000 It actually predated the executive order, but it was something along those lines.

00:59:59.000 So he filed a copyright complaint against me and forced me to delete the tweets.

01:00:03.000 Can you believe that?

01:00:05.000 And I actually went into the DMCA request.

01:00:09.000 And it was literally signed by Charlie Kirk.

01:00:12.000 It has his phone number, it has his address, all his information.

01:00:16.000 Maybe he thought I wasn't going to see that.

01:00:18.000 Maybe he doesn't know that it's passed along to the person the claim is being made against.

01:00:24.000 But isn't that wild?

01:00:26.000 I guess it's not surprising, but it was a little shocking to me.

01:00:29.000 Because that was from April 9th, that tweet.

01:00:32.000 Two clips.

01:00:33.000 One was even embedded from another Twitter account.

01:00:35.000 Some wise guys were telling me for future reference, you should just embed videos.

01:00:40.000 One of the videos was embedded from Columbia Bugle.

01:00:42.000 The other one I posted myself, but the other one was embedded.

01:00:47.000 And like I said, copyrighted from April 9th.

01:00:50.000 And I looked at the complaint, and it wasn't like the complaint was filed by Charlie Kirk.

01:00:55.000 It had his electronic signature, and he had to write the statement and all that.

01:01:01.000 And it has all his information.

01:01:03.000 And at first, I thought this phone number can't possibly be his, couldn't possibly be his phone number.

01:01:11.000 Because, why would he put his personal phone number on the DMCA request, right?

01:01:15.000 That wouldn't make any sense if you're a high ranking figure like that.

01:01:20.000 But then I looked up the area code and it was a Chicago area code.

01:01:24.000 He's from, it was a Northeastern Illinois area code, which is where he's from.

01:01:29.000 So I think it might be authentic.

01:01:30.000 Maybe I'll give it a try on a stream sometime.

01:01:33.000 Maybe I'll give him a little star 67 or I'll spoof Dan Crenshaw's number.

01:01:37.000 I have Dan Crenshaw's number.

01:01:38.000 Maybe I'll spoof Dan Crenshaw's number and.

01:01:41.000 He'll be like, hey, Dan, are we going to go to the synagogue today? 1.00

01:01:45.000 Surprise, bitch, debate me. 1.00

01:01:47.000 Something like that. 1.00

01:01:49.000 Anyway, so I saw that today.

01:01:52.000 Not too much of a busy day or eventful day besides that, but that's just how it goes.

01:01:58.000 And that's not the first thing, obviously.

01:02:00.000 It was Charlie Kirk's people that moved to shut down my YouTube account.

01:02:04.000 They were calling for me to be banned on Twitter.

01:02:07.000 They had the Zionist Organization of America call for me to be banned from YouTube.

01:02:11.000 They kicked me out of their venues, and now they do this.

01:02:14.000 So.

01:02:16.000 This is just another in a long list of actions by Charlie Kirk where he's not in favor of free speech.

01:02:24.000 And this is not surprising to anybody that watches the show, but he knows that he can get away with that.

01:02:30.000 He wants to get me banned on Twitter.

01:02:32.000 He wants to shut down that video so nobody sees it.

01:02:36.000 And these are just very bad, shady tactics. 1.00

01:02:39.000 This is a bad, hypocritical person. 0.95

01:02:41.000 This is the person, remember, by the way, who last week said, I will not take relief money from the federal government. 0.98

01:02:48.000 And help my employees because that would violate my principles.

01:02:52.000 So he's all about his principles when it comes to starving his employees.

01:02:57.000 But when it comes to my Twitter account, well, then suddenly we're not really in favor of free speech or anti tech censorship or open dialogue.

01:03:06.000 The marketplace of ideas.

01:03:08.000 Not like, again, that's anything we don't know, but it's just very amusing.

01:03:12.000 It's very funny.

01:03:13.000 But anyway, that's Charlie Kirk.

01:03:14.000 The other thing which I keep forgetting to mention remember, nicholasjfuentes.com, five bucks a month, whole archive.

01:03:22.000 We did a gaming stream last night.

01:03:23.000 I think I'm going to upload it.

01:03:25.000 I deleted it off DLive because there are some unoptical moments, maybe, but I might upload it this weekend to the website.

01:03:33.000 So remember that and the merch.

01:03:36.000 We have new merch up there for our subscribers.

01:03:39.000 And I think I'm actually going to release the new merch to everybody tomorrow.

01:03:43.000 I know I said last Friday and yesterday that the new merch right now is only available for subscribers.

01:03:50.000 I told people yesterday that I'd make it available for everybody on Friday.

01:03:54.000 I think I'm just going to move it up to tomorrow because my merch guys got some stuff going on later this week.

01:04:02.000 I don't think Friday is going to work out.

01:04:04.000 And rather than delay it until like Monday or even just until Friday, I think we'll just do it Wednesday.

01:04:09.000 So.

01:04:10.000 So, the merch is going to come out tomorrow for everybody, but you could still subscribe, right?

01:04:16.000 Okay, with that out of the way, now we're going to move on and talk about the economy and everything that's going on here.

01:04:25.000 It's not good stuff, I've got to tell you.

01:04:27.000 Not very white pilling, but I'll read to you.

01:04:29.000 This is a report from the Wall Street Journal, and this is saying essentially what I said last week.

01:04:36.000 And I said this at the top of the show moments ago, and I said this last week.

01:04:40.000 That the economy is not going to recover in a V shape.

01:04:44.000 It will not be a rapid recovery back to where we were.

01:04:48.000 It's going to be long and slow and bumpy and painful.

01:04:52.000 And it's going to be very, very disruptive.

01:04:54.000 And people need to take the proper precautions for that.

01:04:59.000 Save your money.

01:05:01.000 Save your money because the economy is going to get really bad out there.

01:05:05.000 And start to think about job security and what you're going to do if things don't approve in the next three years.

01:05:10.000 Obviously, people that watch this show.

01:05:12.000 People are in all kinds of different positions.

01:05:15.000 Some people are very strong.

01:05:16.000 Some people are not doing so well.

01:05:18.000 But no matter what, you got to be thinking what happens when this recession lasts for at least another three years.

01:05:27.000 But I'll read you this report.

01:05:28.000 It says Until recently, many policymakers and corporate executives were hoping for a V shaped economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic, a short, sharp collapse, followed by a bounce back to pre virus levels of activity.

01:05:43.000 Now, however, they expect a swoosh recovery.

01:05:47.000 Named after the Nike logo, it predicts a large drop followed by a painfully slow recovery with many Western economies, including the US and Europe, not back to 2019 levels of output until late next year or beyond.

01:06:02.000 So it's a swoosh, obviously, like the Nike logo, and it's like backwards, right?

01:06:08.000 So it means it goes down and then it slowly goes back up like a swoosh, right?

01:06:15.000 The sobering new view reflects the depth of the contraction now being recorded for the spring.

01:06:19.000 As well as more evidence that soaring joblessness and months or years of social distancing, particularly in the West, will depress economic activity well into next year.

01:06:30.000 Mark Schneider, the chief executive of Nestle, said recently This is not going to be a quick recovery.

01:06:37.000 This is going to be a several quarter, if not several year kind of process.

01:06:42.000 Airlines don't expect passenger numbers to return to pre coronavirus levels until 2022 at the earliest.

01:06:49.000 Social distancing will make it harder to go to the movies, eat out, or visit.

01:06:52.000 Beauty salons until a vaccine is developed.

01:06:55.000 Consumer goods companies anticipate that shoppers will switch to cheaper items and forego splurges, likely remaining tight fisted long after lockdowns end.

01:07:05.000 Some corporations have already announced fresh layoffs for the fall, prolonging the joblessness surge that has already left more than 30 million Americans unemployed.

01:07:15.000 According to a survey by market research group Coresight Research, more than 70% of Americans expect to avoid some public spaces after the lockdowns ease, with more than half saying they expect to stay away from shopping malls.

01:07:28.000 Of those, almost a third expect to stay away for more than six months.

01:07:32.000 In a separate poll, more than half of respondents plan to scale back on Christmas shopping.

01:07:38.000 So, all of this is obvious.

01:07:41.000 I thought, and it should be obvious to everybody, the mess that we're in now with the economy.

01:07:47.000 And I really believe at this point that the shutdown will prove to be far more damaging than the virus itself.

01:07:54.000 You obviously can't divorce the virus from the shutdown because obviously the virus is causing the shutdown.

01:08:01.000 But, nevertheless, This is not something that we are going to recover from completely and anytime soon, right?

01:08:08.000 And all the things that they list are things which, to me, are just common sense.

01:08:13.000 Why we're not just going to simply bounce back.

01:08:16.000 You know, for example, if you're looking at a movie theater, we gave this example last week.

01:08:20.000 A movie theater which in 2019, think about all the huge blockbusters coming out Star Wars 9, Avengers, Endgame.

01:08:29.000 Was that 2019?

01:08:31.000 I think it was.

01:08:32.000 All these, you know, huge movies.

01:08:34.000 And now you think about what it'll look like in 2020.

01:08:37.000 And for the first half of the year, movie theaters aren't even open, right?

01:08:40.000 Or for at least one quarter, movie theaters have no customers.

01:08:44.000 And that's what a movie theater is it's a service.

01:08:46.000 You have to go there, you have to sit down.

01:08:49.000 It's not like carry out or delivery, obviously.

01:08:52.000 So they're doing no business.

01:08:54.000 That's one quarter of the year.

01:08:55.000 And then when they come back, if they come back at all this year, how are they going to do their business now with social distancing?

01:09:04.000 They're going to have to limit the capacity of their theaters by how much?

01:09:08.000 70%, 50%, 30%?

01:09:11.000 Their business is cut in half for years into the future.

01:09:15.000 So you've got one quarter of no activity, and then for years, probably more than half or half, but substantially their business is just going to be slashed in terms of filling up seats and everything.

01:09:27.000 How does that go for a megaplex that has 20 different screens or 15 different screens, and now they're operating at half capacity?

01:09:35.000 And then that's not even factoring in that.

01:09:38.000 People's behaviors and habits are going to change.

01:09:42.000 Forget even the fact that if you're operating at max capacity, you're still at 50% or 30%, whatever it is.

01:09:49.000 But add to that that you won't be at maximum capacity because even once the restrictions end, and even that you have people coming in and it's slashed, the output or the seats, the capacity in these different facilities, restaurants, movie theaters, salons, whatever is slashed, people are not going to go back to their consumer behaviors and habits from three months ago.

01:10:13.000 People are not going to go to the theater as often or maybe even at all because people are going to be thinking, well, even if it's safe to go out or the government says it's okay to go out, do people really want to go and take a chance to see another superhero movie or something like that?

01:10:28.000 Probably not.

01:10:30.000 And this is going to be replicated across the economy less travel, less buying.

01:10:34.000 If people are buying, they're spending less because we're in a recession.

01:10:38.000 People spend less, these things contract, people get laid off.

01:10:42.000 People get laid off.

01:10:43.000 Now, those people are spending less, and you're in this deflationary, depressionary spiral.

01:10:49.000 And I don't see the V. I don't see how, and that's what they've been telling us now for months.

01:10:56.000 They've been saying, don't worry about this.

01:10:58.000 Don't worry.

01:11:00.000 Airlines operating at 25% capacity, don't worry about that.

01:11:06.000 20 million jobs lost and unemployment going to go past 20%.

01:11:10.000 Economy is going to contract by 7%.

01:11:13.000 These are the worst numbers ever by far, but it's all just going to come right back up.

01:11:20.000 Now, also understand that this is.

01:11:22.000 In complete contradiction with what the government is saying about the reopening.

01:11:26.000 How would you even have a V shaped recovery if they don't ease the restrictions?

01:11:32.000 In other words, in order to have the same economic output that you had before the virus, you have to have all the capacity that you had before the virus.

01:11:41.000 In other words, no restrictions.

01:11:44.000 But you have all the restrictions, they're not going away on June 1st.

01:11:49.000 Some states are not even going away by August 1st.

01:11:53.000 And even in that case, they're going to be eased after that, not dissipated completely, but they will ease slowly over time.

01:12:01.000 So, how could it be anything but a so called swoosh or worse?

01:12:05.000 The only way it'd be possible to have a V shape is if, well, the circumstances surrounding the economy changed, or surrounding the virus rather, changed back to where they were.

01:12:13.000 But that's not even happening.

01:12:15.000 So, to me, all of this is basically obvious.

01:12:18.000 And honestly, it's just dishonest that they're still peddling this narrative, even today.

01:12:24.000 I saw there was a Federal Reserve official saying it's going to be a V shaped recovery, and I keep seeing that.

01:12:31.000 And to me, this is a lot of stuff, just like the masks, like I said earlier, just like the masks, just like the quarantine, to prevent people from losing their minds.

01:12:40.000 Because right now, you've got, like I said, 20 million jobs lost, unemployment's 15%, probably much higher than that.

01:12:48.000 Because while unemployment is 15%, the employment rate has gone down from, I think, 62% down to 55%.

01:12:58.000 And if you look at U6 unemployment, it's probably much higher than that.

01:13:01.000 That's underemployment.

01:13:02.000 That's people that want full time work but only have part time work and all kinds of other statistics.

01:13:08.000 People that have been taken out of the labor force but want to jump back in.

01:13:11.000 So the numbers are obscene.

01:13:13.000 And I think that if people weren't being lied to, there would be a big time freak out.

01:13:19.000 But everybody's telling people essentially the numbers aren't real.

01:13:22.000 Essentially the numbers aren't real.

01:13:24.000 The crash isn't real.

01:13:25.000 The recession isn't real.

01:13:26.000 This is all just temporary.

01:13:28.000 And particularly for people that lost their jobs.

01:13:31.000 They're being told, well, it's temporary unemployment.

01:13:33.000 None of these jobs are coming back.

01:13:35.000 Well, maybe not none of them, but a lot of them, maybe even most of them are not coming back.

01:13:40.000 You know, think about how the American economy is.

01:13:43.000 The American economy is a service economy.

01:13:45.000 I don't know the exact percentage, I haven't looked at the number recently, but a substantial, I think even most of our economic activity is in the service sector.

01:13:56.000 The service sector is dependent on people leaving their houses and shopping.

01:14:01.000 Going into these places, right?

01:14:03.000 Obviously, using services, close interpersonal contact, all of which is being restricted by the government indefinitely for the foreseeable future.

01:14:13.000 Even if it's not total lockdown, like I said, it's capacity limits, it's temperature checks, it's all this, and people's habits themselves are changing.

01:14:22.000 So, all these jobs in the service sector that have vanished, and this has accounted for most of the job lost, those jobs, I don't think they're coming back.

01:14:31.000 You know, when you look at something like Uber Eats or the rise of Takeout, or you look at Netflix and Amazon Prime against movie theaters, these consumer habits are changing.

01:14:41.000 People are cutting their cable cords, things like that.

01:14:44.000 And none of that's going to bounce back.

01:14:46.000 It's not going to bounce back when the hard lockdown ends.

01:14:49.000 It's not going to bounce back when the last of the social distancing measures ease off in three years.

01:14:55.000 They're just not coming back.

01:14:58.000 And I think everyone's just being lied to.

01:15:00.000 How could anybody not see what's going on here?

01:15:03.000 I think it's pretty obvious that the level of economic activity is just simply depressed.

01:15:10.000 And it will be until the virus is eradicated and then sometime after that and until all the social distancing measures ease off.

01:15:17.000 And that's not going to happen for years.

01:15:20.000 You don't get a vaccine or herd immunity for years.

01:15:23.000 And then it takes time after that for people to get comfortable or for the economy to adjust or whatever, for all the government to pull back in all the different states. 0.99

01:15:34.000 So the idea that we're going to get back to where we were in 2019 this year or next year or even the year after that is retarded. 0.95

01:15:40.000 It's going to be like three years. 0.99

01:15:42.000 That's going to be the minimum before we get back to where we were.

01:15:46.000 And people got to figure that out.

01:15:48.000 I don't know how we're going to get through this, especially with the government being as tight fisted with the money as it is.

01:15:54.000 The last relief measure they did was those $1,200 checks.

01:15:59.000 That was the last cash payment to Americans.

01:16:02.000 Aside from the SBA loans, that was the last stimulus, period.

01:16:07.000 The third phase stimulus, that was the $2.1 trillion plus the $4 trillion from the Federal Reserve.

01:16:14.000 That was the last stimulus, aside from they put in a little bit more money in the SBA small business fund, the PPP thing, and that hasn't even depleted yet.

01:16:23.000 But that was the last relief.

01:16:25.000 How are we going to get through?

01:16:28.000 This depression level economic event, if the government's not going to be willing to shell out some money here, people are going to be unemployed.

01:16:37.000 People that own property are going to get destroyed.

01:16:39.000 People that have rental properties are getting killed.

01:16:43.000 And none of that is going to get better.

01:16:45.000 It's actually going to get worse as time goes on, especially with these restrictions in place.

01:16:49.000 So the government can't have it all ways.

01:16:51.000 You can't have the restrictions but not have the money flow, right?

01:16:55.000 If you're going to tell people legally you can't make money, then you have to make up the difference.

01:17:00.000 You have to find a way to make it work.

01:17:03.000 And incurring another $3 trillion in debt, and that might sound excessive, but incurring another $3 trillion in debt or more than that is a much better option than having the whole economy collapse, actually.

01:17:17.000 $3 trillion, $2 trillion, what difference does it make at this point?

01:17:20.000 How many trillions are we in debt?

01:17:22.000 How many trillions in deficits is it every year?

01:17:25.000 How many trillions have we spent so far?

01:17:28.000 And they say, well, we can't do another trillion.

01:17:30.000 We're going to watch and see.

01:17:31.000 We're going to wait and see how it goes.

01:17:33.000 Wait and see how it goes.

01:17:35.000 You don't have to be an economist to see where the economy is going next week and the week after that and the week after that.

01:17:40.000 It's going down, right?

01:17:43.000 That's what McConnell and all these people in Congress are saying is after they pass their third phase relief measure.

01:17:50.000 Well, before we allocate any more money, before we appropriate any more money, we want to wait and see how it goes.

01:17:56.000 And understand, even if they pass something tomorrow, the checks won't go out until three weeks from today.

01:18:02.000 We're going to wait and see how it goes.

01:18:04.000 What direction?

01:18:05.000 Unemployment, consumer confidence, GDP, where do you think those numbers are going?

01:18:09.000 Does it take a rocket scientist to understand what's happening here?

01:18:13.000 There needs to be serious spending.

01:18:14.000 There needs to be a plan.

01:18:16.000 There needs to be a plan for renters.

01:18:18.000 There needs to be a plan for small businesses.

01:18:21.000 There needs to be a plan for people that have been laid off.

01:18:25.000 You know, it all has to change and it has to change rapidly.

01:18:28.000 And the government has to support people, especially because the government put us in this situation, as far as I'm concerned.

01:18:34.000 So I see this article and, you know, Fee shaped recovery.

01:18:39.000 It's the same thing that we saw with the masks.

01:18:41.000 It's the same thing we saw with the quarantine.

01:18:44.000 They're telling us that so that we are quiet because we don't have an idea of how bad it's going to be in six months.

01:18:53.000 And in six months, we're going to think to ourselves, how did it get this bad?

01:18:57.000 How do we allow it to get this bad?

01:18:59.000 Because you're going to see a lot of layoffs in the fall.

01:19:02.000 Like I saw, for example, with United, the airline, they took billions of dollars in federal government aid, and that federal government aid was contingent on them not firing anybody through September.

01:19:15.000 So, they're planning to lay off 14,000 people in October, right?

01:19:19.000 So, everybody that said, well, the layoffs are happening now, it's just happening now when the restrictions are in place and then they'll get rehired after the summer.

01:19:27.000 That's not true.

01:19:29.000 That's not going to happen.

01:19:30.000 The jobs aren't coming back in the fall, they might never come back.

01:19:34.000 And they know that.

01:19:36.000 The government knows that.

01:19:37.000 The firms know that.

01:19:39.000 The economists know that.

01:19:40.000 And I think they're just telling us V shaped recovery so that people go on about their lives and they stay working and they're not mad.

01:19:47.000 And they don't violate the lockdown and they don't protest and they don't make a stink.

01:19:51.000 But just wait and see where we'll be later on.

01:19:54.000 People have no idea what's coming with the economy.

01:19:56.000 So that's the Wall Street Journal.

01:19:59.000 But we'll see.

01:20:01.000 I mean, it's all, again, it's all very contingent.

01:20:03.000 There's a lot of variables.

01:20:05.000 But I'm not optimistic about where this is headed.

01:20:09.000 It's just, you just have to begin to think about the economic hemorrhaging that's taken place over the last three months.

01:20:16.000 And it is just a nightmare on every step of the way, every part of the supply chain.

01:20:22.000 From top to bottom and horizontally, internationally, domestically, there is nothing positive happening with the economy.

01:20:29.000 And they tell us it's all just going to be okay.

01:20:32.000 When?

01:20:33.000 How?

01:20:35.000 I feel like Barack Obama.

01:20:36.000 What magic wand do you have? 0.99

01:20:39.000 But it's true this time.

01:20:40.000 It's not going to come back.

01:20:42.000 Okay, so that's the economy.

01:20:44.000 We're going to move on to talk about the Los Angeles shutdown.

01:20:46.000 I blame this economic fallout, by the way, on the government.

01:20:49.000 It's because of the shutdown.

01:20:52.000 Justice.

01:20:53.000 And I think maybe a shutdown was sensible.

01:20:56.000 And I've been saying this.

01:20:57.000 When there were all these unknowns about the virus early on and it started to spread rapidly in New York City, I think maybe a shutdown was necessary.

01:21:06.000 Maybe you could have done it state by state instead of nationally.

01:21:09.000 I mean, technically, that is how it went down, but it all happened at once.

01:21:13.000 It was at the behest of the government's guidelines and so on.

01:21:17.000 But I think a shutdown was appropriate based on the information that we had.

01:21:22.000 Everything, maybe even a shutdown until May 1st would have been appropriate.

01:21:27.000 But now it's out of control.

01:21:29.000 The featured story tonight is about Los Angeles that is now extending their lockdown until August.

01:21:35.000 Three more months.

01:21:37.000 And I remember in April, people were freaking out about the government reopening by Easter.

01:21:41.000 People said, it's too soon, it's too soon.

01:21:44.000 But definitely August is a little bit too late.

01:21:48.000 And this is from the LA Times.

01:21:50.000 It says, Los Angeles County will likely continue its stay at home order through the summer.

01:21:55.000 Officials said Tuesday, as the coronavirus wreaks havoc on the economy, County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said the order will be extended with all certainty at the Board of Supervisors meeting, possibly until July or August.

01:22:11.000 And that is in addition to the entire state university system, which is closing.

01:22:15.000 This is from the LA Times as well.

01:22:18.000 It says the entire 23 school California State University system, which includes four Bay Area universities, will keep campuses closed to students and faculty through the fall semester.

01:22:29.000 Through the fall semester, so through to the end of 2020.

01:22:33.000 All schools have shifted to online courses for most students, and that form of virtual instruction will continue at least through the end of 2020.

01:22:41.000 At least.

01:22:43.000 There will be limited exceptions made for students whose schooling requires an in person presence, such as those in nursing programs, or need access to a lab.

01:22:51.000 The policy change affects nearly half a million students across the state of California and beyond.

01:22:58.000 And before we get into this, I have to remind you what the reason of the lockdown is because nobody seems to know.

01:23:05.000 The purpose of the lockdown was never to wait out the virus.

01:23:10.000 I think a lot of people still implicitly think that.

01:23:13.000 And even a lot of the governors are saying that.

01:23:15.000 Some people like Fauci and others are saying that.

01:23:19.000 That the reason we have the lockdown is to wait until we develop a treatment for the virus or a vaccine or develop herd immunity.

01:23:29.000 Now, understand that takes years.

01:23:32.000 It takes at least 12 months for a virus.

01:23:35.000 And there's no guarantee that we'll have a vaccine in 12 months.

01:23:38.000 There's no guarantee that we'll have a vaccine ever.

01:23:41.000 It's a tricky virus.

01:23:42.000 Viruses are notoriously hard to vaccinate against.

01:23:45.000 The cases when you find Really effective vaccines for viruses are rare in history.

01:23:52.000 So, people are saying 12 to 18 months, that's the minimum.

01:23:55.000 That's if everything goes according to plan.

01:23:57.000 So, at minimum, and I don't know why you would bank our domestic policy on that, on something that's so optimistic, at minimum, you're talking about shelter in place for a year, if that's the basis, waiting for the vaccine.

01:24:12.000 Herd immunity takes longer.

01:24:14.000 Treatment, who knows if we'll ever develop an effective treatment for the coronavirus.

01:24:18.000 But now you have all these people saying we're just going to wait it out.

01:24:22.000 Indefinitely for at least a year, possibly many years, until the virus blows over.

01:24:28.000 But that was never the purpose of the lockdown.

01:24:30.000 Maybe it was all along, but that's not what they told us initially.

01:24:34.000 What they said initially, and this made sense, is we're doing a temporary shutdown so that we could prevent our healthcare system being overwhelmed by a surge in cases.

01:24:44.000 That was the reason for the lockdown.

01:24:47.000 They said, we'll shut down for two weeks or maybe longer so that we can put in place precautions and prevent a giant surge.

01:24:56.000 So many cases that there wouldn't be enough hospital personnel or beds to treat everybody.

01:25:02.000 Because if that happens, then that's when you see a high mortality rate.

01:25:06.000 Because if you have, you know, if everybody's going to get sick, then that's just going to happen.

01:25:11.000 But if everybody gets sick in a week, or hundreds of thousands, or millions get sick in a week, or in a month, or in two weeks, whatever, then you can't treat everybody that has the virus.

01:25:22.000 And without any kind of treatment or healthcare, then the death rate is going to skyrocket.

01:25:27.000 Because the virus with healthcare, Or the death rate with healthcare is probably pretty low.

01:25:32.000 Without healthcare, it's very high.

01:25:35.000 So they said, we'll shut down temporarily and we will do that so that we can prevent this giant surge.

01:25:40.000 We'll treat everybody who has it in this initial spike.

01:25:43.000 And then we can put in place precautions like the hand sanitizer and the masks and temperature checks and social distancing so that when we return, contact tracing, if there is another outbreak, we can manage it better.

01:25:55.000 That was the initial argument.

01:25:57.000 And that makes sense.

01:25:58.000 I actually was in favor of that.

01:26:00.000 I still think that was sensible.

01:26:02.000 Shut it down for two weeks, see how it goes, prevent the healthcare system from being overwhelmed, and we'll reevaluate.

01:26:09.000 Okay, well, it has now been two months since that shutdown.

01:26:13.000 Not two weeks, it's been two months.

01:26:16.000 Did the healthcare system get overwhelmed anywhere?

01:26:18.000 The answer is no.

01:26:20.000 Not anywhere in the United States did the healthcare system get overwhelmed in the first wave.

01:26:25.000 Not even in New York City.

01:26:27.000 New York City was the epicenter, the worst outbreak by far in the whole country.

01:26:32.000 Most of the cases elsewhere in the country, by far, came from New York City itself.

01:26:37.000 Not even in New York City.

01:26:38.000 Did you find a single patient who needed a ventilator but went without one, who needed a hospital bed but went without one, who needed treatment but didn't get it?

01:26:47.000 Not a single person in the first wave, the initial wave, when it flew under the radar for months and we didn't even know about it, we couldn't test anybody.

01:26:55.000 So, what leads us to believe that if we reopen, the healthcare system is going to get overwhelmed now, anywhere, if it didn't even happen in the epicenter of the outbreak in the United States, but yet we remain closed?

01:27:06.000 And now the goalpost has shifted from.

01:27:09.000 We want to prevent an overwhelming of the healthcare system, we want to eradicate the virus before we reopen.

01:27:15.000 Well, two weeks we could do.

01:27:17.000 Two months is pushing it.

01:27:19.000 And even with the two months, obviously, the argument didn't even hold water.

01:27:23.000 We didn't even need to do that because the healthcare system did not get overwhelmed.

01:27:27.000 And actually, in hospitals across the country, they're laying off their staff.

01:27:33.000 You see a lot of hospitals going bankrupt because they canceled all their elective surgeries.

01:27:37.000 If you look, the healthcare industry is in freefall because of that decision.

01:27:42.000 So it was the opposite of what they said, right?

01:27:45.000 They way overreacted with the shutdown and even in terms of clearing out hospitals to prepare for this corona surge that never came.

01:27:53.000 And now, all these months later, they're telling us, well, another three months.

01:27:57.000 What are they going to tell us on August 1st?

01:28:00.000 Are they going to tell us on August 1st, okay, it's finally over?

01:28:04.000 Or are they going to tell us on August 1st, another three months or another six months because we're still waiting on that vaccine?

01:28:11.000 We're still waiting on herd immunity.

01:28:13.000 We're still waiting on a treatment.

01:28:15.000 We're still waiting on whatever.

01:28:17.000 That's not a plan.

01:28:19.000 That's not sustainable.

01:28:20.000 That's not sensible.

01:28:21.000 You're going to destroy the economy completely. 0.75

01:28:25.000 And I'm not saying that as, you know, a lot of people have made it out that if you care about the economy, if you're talking about the shutdown being excessive, that that is, you know, these are billionaires or the elites or the rich or, you know, whatever, the boomers, whoever. 0.57

01:28:41.000 They're the only people that could care about the economy.

01:28:44.000 We're talking about the economy.

01:28:46.000 We're talking about millions of people that have been laid off.

01:28:48.000 We're talking about workers.

01:28:50.000 We're talking about small business owners.

01:28:53.000 The rich are doing fine.

01:28:54.000 How is Amazon doing?

01:28:56.000 Actually, who stands to gain the most from this shutdown?

01:29:02.000 Just take a look at the stock market.

01:29:04.000 Some people are complaining about how the stock market is through the roof lately in terms of the percentage increase.

01:29:11.000 Obviously, it hasn't rebounded.

01:29:13.000 The NASDAQ has, but the Dow SP hasn't recovered to where it was before the crash.

01:29:18.000 But people are looking at these huge increases in the stock market.

01:29:23.000 While the unemployment data is so bad, while all the other economic data is so bad.

01:29:27.000 And they're saying that just goes to show how broken the economy is.

01:29:30.000 Well, which companies are driving the stock market rally?

01:29:34.000 Take a look.

01:29:36.000 It's Apple, it's Amazon, it's Microsoft, it's tech companies, tech companies, and particularly big companies.

01:29:44.000 Actually, there have been a lot of small cap stocks that went up fast, and that's because they went down harder and faster than anybody.

01:29:51.000 But if you look at who's driving the stock market rally and who's doing More business.

01:29:56.000 It's these giant tech companies.

01:29:58.000 It's the big companies to begin with.

01:30:00.000 When you see all these small businesses liquidating themselves and foreclosing on their properties and shutting down, who stands to gain from that?

01:30:10.000 The giant corporations.

01:30:11.000 Giant corporations have cash.

01:30:14.000 Giant corporations can wait out a quarter where they do no business or diminish business.

01:30:20.000 Small businesses cannot.

01:30:22.000 So, all these giant corporations, in particular big tech companies, but even just other ones, are waiting in the wings.

01:30:28.000 For all these small businesses to go down so that they can go in and move in and pick up the pieces.

01:30:36.000 So, for people that are saying that, oh, well, if you're talking about the economy, well, you're talking about the GDP, and that means you only care about money.

01:30:44.000 And if you only care about money, then you're just as bad as Charlie Kirk and you're one of these capitalist shills and whatever.

01:30:50.000 But this is not the case.

01:30:51.000 It's the opposite.

01:30:53.000 It's the opposite.

01:30:54.000 Who is benefiting from the shutdown?

01:30:56.000 Take a look at Amazon's share price since the shutdown.

01:30:59.000 It's higher.

01:31:01.000 It's higher than ever before.

01:31:03.000 And that's because Amazon is replacing all these businesses, right?

01:31:07.000 That's one example.

01:31:09.000 So, when we're talking about the economy contracting and being destroyed by these constantly moving goalposts on the shutdown, this is for the people.

01:31:18.000 This is for the American workers, for American small business owners, for American consumers.

01:31:24.000 This is for us.

01:31:25.000 The rich will be fine.

01:31:26.000 The giant corporations, believe me, they will be fine.

01:31:29.000 And if they're not fine, the government will bail them out.

01:31:32.000 The government's not going to bail us out.

01:31:34.000 The government's not going to bring back all these small businesses.

01:31:37.000 Many of them are already never going to return.

01:31:40.000 So, when we're talking about the shutdown, we have to think about who's being affected.

01:31:43.000 Yeah, you could say, oh, I want Green Line to go up, and that's very sardonic and edgy and everything.

01:31:50.000 But who's being affected by this at the ground level?

01:31:53.000 It's us, it is the workers.

01:31:56.000 I'm not a worker, I'm a media personality.

01:31:58.000 But it is workers, it is the middle class, it is the working class, it's the small business people, it's people that own rental properties who are by no means rich or elites or anything like that. 0.83

01:32:10.000 So, this is a disaster.

01:32:12.000 This is unacceptable.

01:32:13.000 This cannot go on for another three months.

01:32:16.000 Two months was excessive to begin with.

01:32:18.000 Another three months is out of the question.

01:32:21.000 And the problem is, where exactly do you draw the line?

01:32:24.000 We actually can probably draw the line very quickly and easily at like last month.

01:32:28.000 It should have ended last month or two weeks ago or whatever.

01:32:31.000 But the problem now is you're never going to reopen.

01:32:36.000 The timeline for this is indefinite.

01:32:39.000 Reopen when the vaccine comes out, reopen when the herd immunity is achieved.

01:32:43.000 Reopened when a treatment is developed.

01:32:45.000 That's not a timetable because that is indefinite.

01:32:48.000 There's no guarantee that any of that will be developed at all.

01:32:52.000 There's no guarantee that any of that will be developed anytime soon.

01:32:57.000 What we can do is look at contact tracing and we could look at testing for antibodies and the coronavirus tests that we can look at.

01:33:08.000 We can look at temperature checks, we could look at capacity restrictions, we could look at social distancing.

01:33:13.000 All of those things are in our control.

01:33:15.000 All of those things are predictable.

01:33:17.000 All of those things are things that we can rely on and count on.

01:33:21.000 How many tests are we going to have?

01:33:23.000 If we have this many tests and this contact tracing ability, then we can reopen with a managed reduction in restrictions.

01:33:31.000 That is a plan.

01:33:33.000 And maybe you're going to have outbreaks of the virus.

01:33:35.000 You will have outbreaks.

01:33:35.000 You will.

01:33:37.000 Maybe you'll have another surge, perhaps.

01:33:41.000 But you're going to have a surge regardless.

01:33:43.000 People are going to get the coronavirus regardless.

01:33:47.000 And shutting down the economy for three years is hardly preferable to having some kind of managed reopening.

01:33:53.000 But you have some outbreaks here and there.

01:33:56.000 Look at Wuhan and China.

01:33:57.000 They did a managed reopening in March, and they had their first reported cases in like months, just today.

01:34:04.000 Today or yesterday.

01:34:04.000 I think it was today.

01:34:06.000 And we should do the same here, especially across the country.

01:34:09.000 You look at Illinois, California, Texas, Florida, a lot of these states, none of them got even near as bad as New York City or New York State.

01:34:18.000 The only place that was really.

01:34:21.000 Catastrophic was New York City.

01:34:23.000 That was really it.

01:34:25.000 It's not to say that people are not dying across the country.

01:34:28.000 It's not to say that it's been bad.

01:34:32.000 But it is to say that only in New York City did you really see a severe outbreak on the level of some of these other countries.

01:34:39.000 Everywhere else, it was pretty mild.

01:34:42.000 And we're going to shut down the entire country over that. 0.98

01:34:45.000 It's ridiculous.

01:34:46.000 So I think that the shutdowns outlived its usefulness. 0.95

01:34:50.000 They're just lying now.

01:34:51.000 They're shifting the goalposts.

01:34:53.000 And it's part of a deliberate plan on their part.

01:34:55.000 I think this is true, and it's been true every step of the way.

01:34:58.000 They told us initially two weeks, and then it was a two week extension.

01:35:03.000 And then it was up to the states, but all the states said, well, we're not reopening for another month.

01:35:07.000 And now the states and some states and cities are saying, well, it's going to be three months.

01:35:12.000 And maybe their plan is that we're not going to reopen for three years, but they're just going to tell us incrementally.

01:35:18.000 Because it's far easier when all this starts to handle two weeks than it is to handle a year right out of the gate.

01:35:25.000 Like if they came to us on March 12th and said, we're going to be shut down for a year.

01:35:30.000 Nobody would go for that.

01:35:31.000 But if they say two weeks right out of the gate, people say, okay, two weeks isn't so bad.

01:35:37.000 And after two weeks, they get told another two weeks.

01:35:39.000 They say, okay, well, you know, another two weeks isn't the end of the world.

01:35:43.000 And they come out with the guidelines, right?

01:35:44.000 They come out with the reopening, gating process.

01:35:47.000 And then it's up to the states.

01:35:48.000 Well, now the governor says, we're not going to reopen until June 1st.

01:35:51.000 People say, oh, well, I could wait another month.

01:35:54.000 I mean, I've gotten used to it already.

01:35:57.000 And now here we are in the middle of May.

01:35:59.000 Another two to three months.

01:36:01.000 But maybe we'll ease it along the way.

01:36:02.000 And people say, okay.

01:36:04.000 And that's just how it's with the V curve, and it's with all this.

01:36:10.000 None of it's good.

01:36:11.000 There's no end in sight to this, but there needs to be.

01:36:13.000 People need to get on with their lives and watch what happens.

01:36:17.000 The thing is, if you don't like it, now they're just going to throw you in jail.

01:36:20.000 This is what they're doing.

01:36:22.000 Don't you see the game being played here?

01:36:24.000 I'm all about public health and nationalism and all this, but now you've got on social media, they're saying if you push disinformation or promote violating social distancing, they kick you off social media.

01:36:36.000 If you try to reopen your business early, they arrest you.

01:36:39.000 They put you in jail.

01:36:40.000 There was a case, I think, what was it, in Texas or Florida or something, where they told a woman that she had to apologize and admit she was wrong for opening early.

01:36:50.000 Otherwise, they'd send her to seven days in jail.

01:36:52.000 This is the kind of stuff that's going on.

01:36:55.000 And what do you think is happening all the while?

01:36:57.000 Like I said, giant corporations expanding their control.

01:37:01.000 I'm not trying to get conspiratorial here because I think, you know, some people are obviously going off the deep end about this.

01:37:07.000 They're talking about.

01:37:08.000 You know, barcodes and 666 and the end times and Dr. Fauci is the Antichrist and this kind of thing.

01:37:15.000 That is a little bit much for me.

01:37:16.000 I don't know if I'm sold on that just yet.

01:37:19.000 But nevertheless, just follow the money.

01:37:22.000 Just look at who stands to gain from all this stuff.

01:37:25.000 Bill Gates pushing a total lockdown.

01:37:28.000 He's the biggest private funder of the World Health Organization, biggest besides the United States government, and he wants us closed indefinitely.

01:37:36.000 Oh, I guess we just happen to overlap this way.

01:37:38.000 Well, I don't agree with Bill Gates on everything, but he is right about the World Health Organization dictating American policy and keeping everything shut down so all these small businesses close.

01:37:38.000 I guess.

01:37:49.000 Are you kidding me?

01:37:50.000 Just look at who's on the side of closure and who's on the side of reopening.

01:37:54.000 It's not hard, right?

01:37:56.000 Bill Gates, the UN, the World Health Organization, Dr. Fauci, like Barack Obama, liberals, women, homosexuals, and who's on the side of reopening?

01:38:08.000 So I think it's pretty black and white at this point. 0.85

01:38:11.000 You know, you wanted to shut down for two weeks not to overwhelm.

01:38:14.000 I'm willing to buy that.

01:38:15.000 But now look at how far the goalposts have shifted.

01:38:17.000 Wait indefinitely for a vaccine?

01:38:19.000 I'm not prepared to do that.

01:38:20.000 And don't even go outside.

01:38:21.000 Understand, I'm not saying this for my benefit.

01:38:24.000 I'm doing great.

01:38:25.000 You know me.

01:38:26.000 My life has been virtually unchanged by the coronavirus pandemic.

01:38:31.000 You know, I'm like an essential worker, non essential.

01:38:34.000 It doesn't matter.

01:38:35.000 I'm able to do my job in a way that is unchanged.

01:38:39.000 I'm not hurting from this financially.

01:38:41.000 I'm not hurting from this really in any way.

01:38:44.000 I didn't have like social engagements to begin with, you know, social distance.

01:38:48.000 You have to be social to engage in social distancing.

01:38:51.000 I'm not social to begin with.

01:38:53.000 Even when I go out to eat, I go through the drive-thru and eat it in my car.

01:38:57.000 I wash my hands all the time anyway.

01:39:00.000 Wearing a mask is good.

01:39:01.000 That means that I can go outside looking more disheveled than usual.

01:39:05.000 I don't even have to wash my face to go outside.

01:39:07.000 Put on a hat, put on a mask, sunglasses.

01:39:10.000 This is ideal, you know?

01:39:12.000 So I'm not saying this for my benefit.

01:39:14.000 You know, if people are going to suggest, oh, because I see that sometimes, they say, well, if you're in favor of reopening, you're a grifter, you're getting paid by the Koch brothers, whatever.

01:39:23.000 It's not for my benefit.

01:39:24.000 I've been vibing throughout the coronavirus.

01:39:27.000 I'm not eager to get back.

01:39:29.000 There's nothing for me to get back to.

01:39:30.000 What am I going to get back to?

01:39:32.000 Driving through McDonald's without a mask on and then eating it in the parking lot, it makes no difference to me.

01:39:38.000 Now I have to make a different excuse for why I can't hang out with my friends.

01:39:44.000 So for me, it's not for my benefit that I'm saying this.

01:39:48.000 It's not, because I know some people are just getting antsy and some people are just getting stir crazy or whatever, but I'm just evaluating the facts, and it's a very different dynamic than what we saw in March.

01:40:01.000 They're telling us different stuff.

01:40:03.000 We have a lot more information than we do now, and enough is enough.

01:40:06.000 It's time to end the shutdown.

01:40:08.000 It's getting ridiculous.

01:40:09.000 But we're going to move on.

01:40:10.000 We're going to take a look at our super chats, and we're going to see what you guys are saying about all this.

01:40:15.000 I'm curious to see what the reaction will be, because I'm wondering to what extent people who watch this show are in favor of the lockdown.

01:40:25.000 Because I know it was divisive for a long time on Twitter, and I'm wondering to what extent people are saying, You know, you're wrong.

01:40:33.000 We need to keep the lockdown in place, blah, blah, blah.

01:40:36.000 And to what extent people are agreeing with me.

01:40:38.000 So I'll jump in.

01:40:40.000 I'll take a look.

01:40:41.000 Let me post the entropy link because I see not many people are watching on entropy.

01:40:46.000 I didn't post it at the top of the show, I forgot to.

01:40:50.000 So I'll just throw that up there.

01:40:52.000 But we'll take a look.

01:40:53.000 Yeah, some people in live chat are saying people in favor are retard.

01:40:58.000 I'm over it.

01:40:58.000 Open up.

01:40:59.000 It's time.

01:41:00.000 So I think people are in favor.

01:41:00.000 Okay.

01:41:00.000 Open up.

01:41:02.000 I think I'm making a good case here, right?

01:41:04.000 I think people can see the logic of it.

01:41:07.000 Facts and logic, that's what we're about.

01:41:08.000 And by the way, I'm not such an asshole that I can't admit that earlier forecasts or predictions or takes were based on dated information, right?

01:41:21.000 I'm not the guy that's going to stake out a position and so autistically that, no, I'm still saying what I said in March. 0.74

01:41:30.000 It's a different world now.

01:41:30.000 It's a different country, new information.

01:41:33.000 In March, the death rate in Italy was 10%.

01:41:38.000 That was the death rate in Italy.

01:41:40.000 That's before we knew about asymptomatic carriers.

01:41:42.000 That's before we knew about the extent of the asymptomatic carriers.

01:41:46.000 That's before we saw that no hospitals were overwhelmed, right?

01:41:50.000 So it was a different time back then.

01:41:53.000 I'm willing to admit, not even that I was wrong.

01:41:56.000 I think that's sort of like a one dimensional way to look at it.

01:41:58.000 Well, were you wrong?

01:41:59.000 Well, in hindsight, yeah.

01:42:00.000 But hindsight is 2020.

01:42:02.000 You have to make a call and think about a situation based on the information you have.

01:42:07.000 So, based on the March information, I think it was a good call to shut down.

01:42:11.000 But it's May now.

01:42:13.000 And now we know the real death rate.

01:42:14.000 We know the real mortality.

01:42:16.000 We see that the healthcare system is not overburdened.

01:42:19.000 So we could see very plainly that it's a different situation.

01:42:24.000 But okay, let's take a look at our super chats.

01:42:26.000 We'll go on entropy.

01:42:29.000 Somebody says, when you think about it, Nick was right all along.

01:42:31.000 Very true.

01:42:32.000 When you think about it, I was never wrong, actually.

01:42:35.000 But let's take a look.

01:42:36.000 We're on entropy here.

01:42:38.000 Racist incels is looking forward to five years from now when FTN is still making the unarmed jogger joke.

01:42:46.000 Yeah.

01:42:47.000 That is the one thing that we can count on.

01:42:49.000 Well, the two things that we can count on in life are, you know, America first, Monday through Friday, 7 o'clock, and, you know, the right stuff.biz will never change.

01:43:01.000 You know, their memes, their jokes.

01:43:04.000 If you want to step in a time machine, if you ever want to get, you know, nostalgic and reminisce, just put on the latest TRS podcast.

01:43:11.000 You'll be transported.

01:43:13.000 I feel like it's 2015 all over again.

01:43:15.000 Oh my gosh, it's so realistic.

01:43:18.000 So, yeah, you know it's going to be July 2025.

01:43:24.000 Okay, well, that was a great Merchant Minute segment.

01:43:27.000 And yeah, that was a good one, man.

01:43:31.000 Got me feeling like an unarmed jogger, am I right?

01:43:34.000 But you could call me a jogger.

01:43:36.000 I'm a jogger, but you could call me a jogger, am I right?

01:43:40.000 Man, that was funny, man.

01:43:43.000 So that's what we have to look forward to.

01:43:45.000 We love that.

01:43:47.000 2025.

01:43:48.000 We have just completed Merchant Minute segment number.

01:43:52.000 800,942. 1.00

01:43:56.000 And now I'm going to make another joke about basketball Americans. 1.00

01:43:59.000 That is still relevant. 0.66

01:44:00.000 That is still funny.

01:44:02.000 Philip Fry says Hi, the new merch looks modern and great.

01:44:07.000 Thanks.

01:44:08.000 I'm confused, however, why city, state, zip code, et cetera, are required when subbing.

01:44:14.000 Some viewers might think you're collecting a docs list.

01:44:16.000 Could you clear this up?

01:44:18.000 I don't think anybody thinks that. 1.00

01:44:20.000 And if you do think that, you're dumb. 0.99

01:44:22.000 I like how it's like, You know, it also asks for your credit card information because it has to charge your credit card. 0.98

01:44:30.000 The reason we had to update it with city, state, and zip code is because, in order for us to authenticate cards from other countries, you need that extra information.

01:44:42.000 Because the problem we were running into is that people internationally, their zip codes wouldn't register.

01:44:49.000 Like if you're from Australia, UK, Canada, about 25% of my audience is from Canada, UK, and Australia or elsewhere in the world.

01:44:58.000 People would put in their zip code and it wouldn't register.

01:45:01.000 So, on the checkout form, you need that additional information for the international people to authenticate the card.

01:45:07.000 So, that has to do with the payment processor.

01:45:09.000 But, yeah, so are you just trying to create a docs list?

01:45:13.000 Yeah, I'm trying to create it.

01:45:15.000 I just need to know your email and the city you reside in.

01:45:19.000 I've got you. 0.99

01:45:20.000 I've got you by the balls. 0.99

01:45:23.000 You thought this was just a show about American nationalism and I was just making a video archive. 0.99

01:45:28.000 Well, the joke's on you.

01:45:30.000 Joke's on you.

01:45:33.000 Turns out I've been amassing a list of the cities that you reside in.

01:45:37.000 And with that information, man, you're in for a world of hurt.

01:45:41.000 You're in for a world of pain.

01:45:44.000 Why would you suggest that?

01:45:45.000 I always hate when people do this.

01:45:47.000 Well, some people might think, why would people think that?

01:45:51.000 And if you're that paranoid about it, simple don't subscribe.

01:45:54.000 And I don't want to say that.

01:45:55.000 I want people to subscribe so they can enjoy the content.

01:45:59.000 But, you know, people that are that freaked out.

01:46:02.000 This guy's just trying to get my information.

01:46:04.000 Okay, looks totally voluntary.

01:46:08.000 Pasta says Nick's hair on lockdown.

01:46:10.000 Conservative Inc. will fall. 1.00

01:46:12.000 America first, bitch. 1.00

01:46:14.000 Okay. 1.00

01:46:16.000 I don't think that's really coherent, but thanks.

01:46:20.000 Lance says your old pal JF made light work of Vaush in a debate today.

01:46:25.000 Seems like a non woke race realist frame is tough for leftists to beat.

01:46:31.000 Almost the Jared Taylor approach.

01:46:33.000 Well, I didn't see that, obviously.

01:46:35.000 I don't like JF.

01:46:37.000 Jordan Mayberry says a message to internet pagans calling Jesus.

01:46:42.000 Okay, these super chats are just rough so far, man.

01:46:45.000 What do we got so far?

01:46:46.000 Somebody talking about JF.

01:46:48.000 Are you doxing us?

01:46:51.000 And now we're going to talk to the internet pagans.

01:46:53.000 A message to internet pagans calling Jesus a Jew on a stick won't stop him from loving you unconditionally and wishing for your salvation. 0.92

01:47:01.000 Yeah, that's true, but, you know, honestly, I just don't even like saying that phrase because it's just so retarded and just deeply offensive.

01:47:11.000 I don't even say it's not like, oh, a snowflake thing, but it's just like, Why do people need to hear that? 1.00

01:47:16.000 That's only a small group of retards on the internet that say that. 1.00

01:47:20.000 So, better just not to address people like that. 1.00

01:47:24.000 Vito says Hey, I heard you got DMCA claimed by Charlie Kirk for a post from months ago that showed Kirk to be a globalist shill and it got your account locked in times of mass conservative censorship.

01:47:37.000 Why don't you quit your infighting?

01:47:39.000 Is that sarcastic?

01:47:42.000 That must be sarcastic because I saw a ton of people in that tweet thread.

01:47:46.000 People replying to that thread, they were saying, Will you stop the infighting and focus on the left?

01:47:52.000 It's like, seriously?

01:47:53.000 I think that's what that's referring to.

01:47:56.000 Because I saw a lot of that.

01:47:57.000 And I saw a lot of that throughout the Groyper Wars.

01:48:00.000 It's like, Yeah, hey, Charlie, if you could stop calling for me to be banned on Twitter, if you could stop trying to destroy my reputation and purging people that like me from your organization and calling me a neo Nazi, if you could stop that, that'd be great.

01:48:13.000 Hey, man, why are you infighting?

01:48:14.000 You get, you know, MAGA, Boomer.

01:48:16.000 Why are you infighting?

01:48:17.000 Is this really productive to attack Charlie Kirk?

01:48:20.000 Are you kidding me?

01:48:22.000 So, I don't know if that's a troll.

01:48:27.000 Vito says something that I have learned about TikTok is that, insofar as you're good looking and not cringe, it doesn't matter how controversial your opinion is.

01:48:35.000 Looks maxers beat ideology cucks any day of the week.

01:48:39.000 Yeah, totally agree. 1.00

01:48:40.000 Totally agree.

01:48:41.000 That is a red pill.

01:48:43.000 Well, it might be a black pill for some, but it's certainly a red pill.

01:48:47.000 That's why optics matters.

01:48:49.000 Hello?

01:48:50.000 That's why optics matters more than anything else in the world.

01:48:54.000 Because people that think that if you just craft like the right argument or the right ideology, they're ignoring human nature, which is decidedly emotional and irrational and determined by involuntary and unconscious biases and prejudices.

01:49:11.000 So, yeah, that's totally true.

01:49:12.000 You see it all the time.

01:49:14.000 And you could imagine you're the best looking TikTok e girl could put something totally racist and she'd probably get dragged and canceled or whatever, but she'd still have a following. 1.00

01:49:27.000 And half of her simps would come to defend her. 0.96

01:49:30.000 And the same goes for the best looking TikTok e boy. 0.97

01:49:33.000 If they put out, maybe even more so with the TikTok e boy, perhaps, and you'd get women, maybe half of the female followers defending.

01:49:41.000 Well, that wasn't that bad. 0.99

01:49:43.000 I agree.

01:49:45.000 And if there's even a little seed of agreement, it will metastasize with something like that.

01:49:52.000 That's just how people are. 0.96

01:49:54.000 Blow Skeeter says Richard Spencer is gay. 1.00

01:49:56.000 I agree. 1.00

01:49:57.000 Base Nibba says, Sup, brother? 0.65

01:49:59.000 Not much, brother.

01:50:00.000 What up with you?

01:50:02.000 Philip Fry says, Did you see Cream of Dog went Batman mode?

01:50:06.000 Cream of Dog.

01:50:07.000 I don't know who that is.

01:50:08.000 Is that a person?

01:50:10.000 I'm in full Batman mode.

01:50:10.000 I don't know what that is.

01:50:17.000 Yeah, I don't know what you're talking about.

01:50:20.000 Lifelong Socialist says, Today I woke up, jumped on Snap to send streaks, and hit the media tab. 0.85

01:50:26.000 Seen Snapchat promoting that drag kid Desmond, and realized if these are the people who we are fighting against, that we will win. 0.96

01:50:34.000 I agree. 1.00

01:50:35.000 I agree totally.

01:50:35.000 Well, yeah, I mean, the people we're fighting against are indecent.

01:50:39.000 And cruel and sick and in trouble.

01:50:43.000 You know, the people that, and what we represent, on the contrary, if we bring the right message to the table and we do the right thing, we're going to be righteous and virtuous and defending things that we love and care about, things that are real.

01:50:59.000 So, yeah, I totally agree.

01:51:01.000 George Mountain says, excellent coronavirus take.

01:51:04.000 Andrew Claven from DailyWire.com and yourself have made me also do a 180 on this topic.

01:51:10.000 Thanks for having the integrity we need, King.

01:51:12.000 No problem.

01:51:13.000 Yeah, Andrew Claven from the Daily Wire.

01:51:16.000 He's had a lot of good takes on this.

01:51:17.000 He's influenced my thinking on this because I was at first, you know, kind of with Sean and that, you know, the alarmist crowd.

01:51:26.000 But, you know, I've been reading what Andrew Claven has to say about it.

01:51:30.000 It's changed my mind.

01:51:32.000 I don't know if I'm all the way.

01:51:33.000 Andrew Claven's a little bit alarmist on the other side.

01:51:35.000 I don't know if I'm all the way there yet, but definitely convinced me in some ways.

01:51:40.000 Basil says, how do I explain to my 16 year old sister. 1.00

01:51:45.000 Than engaging in thought culture, hookups, leading guys on so they simp for her, et cetera, are shitty things to do and she should stop. 0.94

01:51:53.000 That's a good question.

01:51:53.000 I don't know.

01:51:55.000 I don't really engage so much with women and telling them, hey, don't do this directly. 1.00

01:52:02.000 I don't have a lot of experience with what works and what doesn't work. 0.97

01:52:02.000 So I don't know. 0.97

01:52:07.000 I would just talk to her about it frankly, in terms of her interest.

01:52:11.000 None of these things actually make a person happy.

01:52:14.000 And I think more or less once they realize that, then they stop.

01:52:18.000 In the sense that.

01:52:19.000 People are deeply dissatisfied and miserable, and I don't even think they know, maybe subconsciously, but I don't think they know consciously that all of these things are a giant cope.

01:52:32.000 All of these things are adaptive behaviors as a substitute for a feeling of wholeness and a deeper sense of fulfillment, for a sense of social integration.

01:52:47.000 And so they go out seeking out sex, drugs.

01:52:52.000 Attention, friends, you know, whatever, alcohol. 0.99

01:52:58.000 But they're still miserable, but they're still miserable.

01:53:00.000 They find that, you know, these hookups don't make them happy, but they continue to pursue these things in the hopes that, you know, maybe, maybe it's going to work out.

01:53:07.000 Maybe this will, you know, make me happy, whatever. 0.99

01:53:10.000 The other thing is, you know, as a woman, you're essentially worthless if you're a whore, in the sense that what man is going to want to marry you? 1.00

01:53:17.000 If you are some, you know, just total degenerate and you're. 1.00

01:53:23.000 Just, you know, riding the carousel, you know, in college or in high school. 0.83

01:53:29.000 What guy is going to want to settle down with a girl like that? 0.99

01:53:32.000 Definitely nobody that you want. 1.00

01:53:35.000 If you want to find a nice husband and start a nice family, then you got to be a responsible woman. 1.00

01:53:42.000 You have to be a woman that is discriminating and a woman that is classy and all that. 1.00

01:53:48.000 So I don't, you know, people, women that do that are just like barf. 1.00

01:53:53.000 Who wants that? 1.00

01:53:55.000 You know, these are the people that have a great time in college and then they're mid 20s and then late 20s, and then what are their options?

01:54:01.000 You know, they've got a tattoo and they're dried up and they look gross.

01:54:05.000 And what are their options then?

01:54:07.000 It's also wrong.

01:54:07.000 You also go to hell for that.

01:54:09.000 It's not moral. 1.00

01:54:09.000 It's disgusting. 1.00

01:54:10.000 It's undignified. 1.00

01:54:11.000 So there's a million reasons you could tell a woman not to do that. 1.00

01:54:15.000 But ultimately, women are going to be women.

01:54:18.000 Raul says Alex Jones was the only person telling the truth since January. 0.98

01:54:22.000 You think that's true?

01:54:24.000 G Barr says maybe the government should give a $5 a month stimulus to NicholasJFuentes.com, the brand new website.

01:54:31.000 Also, don't forget to check out the new merch.

01:54:33.000 Yeah, I think that is a good one.

01:54:34.000 Maybe that's the stimulus we need, right?

01:54:37.000 When is the government going to stimulate this show?

01:54:41.000 Amp First Investments says, F these people nagging you about living at home.

01:54:45.000 These people would rather you not own assets and just slave away your whole life.

01:54:49.000 I'm 24 doing the same.

01:54:51.000 Also, we need a striped flag for neighborhood watchmen.

01:54:54.000 LOL.

01:54:54.000 What do you mean a striped flag?

01:54:55.000 I don't know what you mean by that.

01:54:57.000 But I don't know if it's so much that people want you to be slaving away and not own assets.

01:55:04.000 I think that this is just another thing that they grasp at.

01:55:10.000 It's just like the Catboy thing.

01:55:12.000 You know, when you're somebody like me, And I don't mean to be bragging or anything, but my appeal is that I make sense and I'm funny.

01:55:21.000 I take a lot of these arguments, which normally people don't want to touch, and normally people don't find persuasive or they're controversial, and I take these arguments and I make them simple and understandable.

01:55:33.000 I articulate them well, and I do them in a way that is funny and appealing to your average person, in a way that's entertaining.

01:55:39.000 That's a very powerful weapon.

01:55:41.000 And so people will find anything that they can to take away from that, right?

01:55:48.000 Straight up lies, or it's, well, he's young, or well, he's short, or he lives at home.

01:55:56.000 And like, none of these things are home runs.

01:55:59.000 Most of these things aren't even true.

01:56:01.000 But these, they're just grasping at anything that they can to detract from the message because there is no argument, and they won't debate, and they won't engage. 0.98

01:56:09.000 If I was just some dummy, they could engage and embarrass me and, you know, show what a ridiculous person I am. 0.99

01:56:14.000 But I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't have casual sex. 0.94

01:56:18.000 So, all the usual mechanisms that they would use to delegitimize or discredit or destroy somebody aren't available because you can't outsmart me and you're not going to catch me doing, for the most part, things that I shouldn't be doing.

01:56:31.000 You know, at least nothing crazy.

01:56:32.000 And that tends to be how people end up in the worst case scenario drugs, alcohol, or sex.

01:56:39.000 So then it's, well, you're a virgin, you live at home.

01:56:42.000 It's like, yeah, I'm saving myself for marriage and saving my money like, you know, any responsible person should.

01:56:49.000 But it's all part of the game.

01:56:51.000 So people don't mean that.

01:56:52.000 Because if you look at any person that says that, it's like they didn't move out before I'm going to, right?

01:56:59.000 In a lot of cases, they themselves live at home.

01:57:02.000 Like that one Indian kid at AFPAC or CPAC, he was like, Don't you live at home? 1.00

01:57:07.000 I'm like, Yeah, I'm saving my money. 1.00

01:57:09.000 Don't you live at home?

01:57:10.000 He's like, Yeah.

01:57:11.000 So you have to understand it for what it is.

01:57:16.000 Sleep Sound says, Building your own tech platform based?

01:57:20.000 Paul Singer's vulture capitalist firm just raided Twitter's board and added Jesse Cohn, known for aggressively replacing CEOs.

01:57:28.000 His first tweet mentioned uniting the world, censorship incoming.

01:57:33.000 Hmm.

01:57:34.000 Yeah, I have heard about Paul Singer going for Twitter.

01:57:39.000 I feel like we heard a lot about that months ago, but yeah, I'm not optimistic about our future, no matter what happens on social media platforms.

01:57:49.000 Charlie says, Yo, Nick, have you watched Plandemic?

01:57:52.000 No, I have not watched Plandemic. 0.99

01:57:54.000 As a masculine presenting transgender lesbian says, we could turn this into a positive, let the men go back to work, leave the women at home where they belong. 0.95

01:58:05.000 Yeah, that's going to fly. 0.69

01:58:06.000 I mean, I agree, but I don't think that's going to happen.

01:58:09.000 Justin KG says, Great stream last night.

01:58:11.000 You know my occupation, so I'm sure I'll be fine.

01:58:14.000 I know you're doing well, so even if the donations stop, you'll be all right.

01:58:18.000 Fauci should be jailed.

01:58:19.000 Why are we listening to a lab code on when we should reopen?

01:58:22.000 Well, hey, thanks, man.

01:58:23.000 Glad you like the stream.

01:58:24.000 Yeah, you're doing fine.

01:58:25.000 I'm doing fine.

01:58:27.000 So I appreciate it.

01:58:28.000 But yeah, I agree.

01:58:30.000 Lab codes should give guidance, but they should not be making decisions.

01:58:35.000 The people that should be crafting the policies should be.

01:58:38.000 The politicians, the bureaucrats, the president, you know, the people whose responsibility is to look over the interior of the country, not a scientist.

01:58:48.000 What does a scientist know about public policy?

01:58:51.000 What does a scientist know about the confluence of all the different considerations that a federal or a national government has to think about when you look at the pandemic and the reopening?

01:59:03.000 A scientist doesn't have the first clue about that.

01:59:05.000 So, yeah, he should be put in jail.

01:59:07.000 He certainly should be taken out of the task force and whatever.

01:59:11.000 Give your advice.

01:59:11.000 Tell us about the epidemiology and let the people that know what they're doing handle the national response.

01:59:19.000 So I agree.

01:59:21.000 Optics Respector says, I have been to a few restaurants since the limited reopening and they are nowhere near the limited capacity imposed by the state.

01:59:29.000 It's going to be rough.

01:59:30.000 That's exactly it.

01:59:32.000 Because not only, like I said, and like you just said, not only do you have the limited capacity, but they're not even getting to the full limited capacity.

01:59:40.000 That sounds oxymoronic, but they're not even.

01:59:44.000 Getting to that limited capacity.

01:59:46.000 And that's just it.

01:59:47.000 People are not going to spend as much and they're not going to go out as much.

01:59:50.000 And what's the answer for that?

01:59:52.000 Where's the stimulus for that?

01:59:53.000 There is no stimulus for that.

01:59:55.000 There is no plan for that.

01:59:56.000 Those businesses are simply going to go away.

02:00:00.000 In China, they said that 12% of restaurants are just never going to reopen.

02:00:06.000 12% of restaurants just won't reopen.

02:00:11.000 An airline is going to go bankrupt, at least one, that's what they say.

02:00:15.000 And you're going to see a lot of major companies filing for bankruptcy.

02:00:18.000 J. Crew already did.

02:00:20.000 I think there was one other big retailer.

02:00:23.000 All these, certainly all these companies that do their retail in malls, I'm sure, are going to go under.

02:00:29.000 I'm sure a lot of restaurants are going to go down.

02:00:32.000 Obviously, not the big ones.

02:00:33.000 McDonald's, Yum Brands, all these big ones.

02:00:35.000 I mean, they're not, I mean, they all have problems, but they're not going to go bankrupt.

02:00:39.000 It's going to be all these local and small businesses, and they're just going to be finished.

02:00:44.000 It's a competitive industry to begin with before the virus, and then now you've got this.

02:00:49.000 So, people are not going to spend the same way, and their habits are not going to go back to where they were.

02:00:53.000 So, the economy is going to transform.

02:00:55.000 And that transformation is going to be bloody.

02:00:58.000 It's going to be a bloodbath.

02:01:00.000 So, yeah, I agree.

02:01:02.000 I haven't literally been in a restaurant since AFPAC.

02:01:02.000 You're lucky, though.

02:01:05.000 I think the last time, no, I'm sorry.

02:01:09.000 I went inside of McDonald's one last time before the shutdown.

02:01:14.000 Like a few days before the Illinois lockdown went into place, I went to McDonald's.

02:01:20.000 And I thought I was going to get coronavirus because I used the touch screen and I wasn't being super careful.

02:01:26.000 I did Purell my hands and everything, but that's the last time I was in a restaurant, it was like early March.

02:01:33.000 So it's been two months since I've been inside of a restaurant.

02:01:36.000 It feels so weird.

02:01:37.000 Or been inside a store?

02:01:38.000 Except for Walmart.

02:01:39.000 I guess I was in Walmart and Target a couple times, but it's just weird.

02:01:43.000 It's a weird dynamic, and it's like you said, it's going to be rough.

02:01:48.000 Zoomtard says Do you think there is any credence to the idea that Democrat governors?

02:01:53.000 Might be pushing lockdowns further out in hopes of hurting the economy to make Trump look bad before the election.

02:01:59.000 Kind of ruthless, though.

02:02:01.000 Yeah, I think that's possible.

02:02:03.000 I don't know how likely that is because people will just blame the governor.

02:02:06.000 I mean, the president has basically unloaded the responsibility out of the governors.

02:02:11.000 I think this is a pretty exceptional time.

02:02:14.000 And I obviously don't know how people will vote based on this.

02:02:17.000 This is unprecedented.

02:02:18.000 But it would seem to me that people are smart enough to reason that the economy is down because of the virus.

02:02:26.000 And so if they're not blaming it on the virus, then they're blaming it on the lockdown.

02:02:29.000 And the lockdown is on the governors it's on Cuomo or Newsom or Pritzker, you know, DeSantis, whoever it is.

02:02:36.000 So.

02:02:37.000 Maybe I'm giving voters too much credit, but I generally think that people's reaction to a bad economy will not be the nail in the coffin that would be historically because this is an exceptional circumstance.

02:02:50.000 But we'll see.

02:02:51.000 Slag says Here's some money.

02:02:53.000 God bless.

02:02:54.000 Thanks. 1.00

02:02:55.000 Jordan says Candace Owens out here citing FBI crime statistics.

02:02:59.000 Candace Owens' redemption arc in full effect.

02:03:02.000 Bryson has had some great takes also. 0.70

02:03:05.000 These moments do separate the weed from the chaff in a lot of ways.

02:03:08.000 Yeah, totally.

02:03:09.000 Bryson Gray, as far as I'm concerned, is a total G.

02:03:12.000 The guy's awesome.

02:03:13.000 And we don't even agree on everything.

02:03:15.000 Some people are like, oh, well, you know, Bryson's like in Turning Point or whatever.

02:03:18.000 And it's like, I talked to the guy.

02:03:20.000 We did a stream together.

02:03:21.000 We hung out.

02:03:23.000 And yeah, we don't agree on everything, but he's honest.

02:03:27.000 He's straight up.

02:03:27.000 He's willing to tell like it is.

02:03:29.000 And he has a different opinion, but he's willing to engage with those ideas.

02:03:33.000 You could tell that he's a critical thinker.

02:03:35.000 So yeah, I think Bryson's awesome.

02:03:38.000 Candace Owens, surprisingly, I mean, she surprised me because I thought she was like with Charlie Kirk. 0.89

02:03:43.000 Cringe like him, but another one, you know, she came out on the Ahmaud Arbery case and totally set the record straight about black crime and everything that went down. 0.98

02:03:43.000 I thought she was. 0.98

02:03:54.000 It takes a lot of integrity, I think, to do that.

02:03:56.000 That kind of thing surprises me because she has nothing to gain by tweeting that.

02:04:00.000 I don't think she has anything to gain by tweeting about black crime statistics and black on white crime, you know. 0.99

02:04:07.000 And I know she was red pill black and that was a little shady, but from what I've seen, Candace Owens is a little bit of a variable figure. 0.90

02:04:16.000 You know, some of the things she does gives me a little bit of hope that, you know, I think she might be a little bit more. 0.73

02:04:23.000 I don't know what the word would be.

02:04:25.000 Maybe there's a little more to her than meets the eye, is what I'm trying to say.

02:04:29.000 But Bryson's epic.

02:04:30.000 Candace had some epic tweets.

02:04:31.000 And I agree, it does separate the wheat from the chaff.

02:04:34.000 Because, you know, for all it's worth, Ben Shapiro's not tweeting about that.

02:04:37.000 Charlie Kirk isn't tweeting about that.

02:04:39.000 What does that tell you?

02:04:41.000 So, redeeming.

02:04:43.000 Redemption arc.

02:04:44.000 Anon says, Hey, Nick, the zip code went through on the site, but I was just wondering why I'd asked what entrances there were to my house.

02:04:50.000 Where I keep my guns, who is the strongest in my home, if my parents are home, and when I am alone.

02:04:55.000 Thanks.

02:04:56.000 Yeah, well, you see, again, that's just part of the checkout form.

02:04:59.000 You just enter in all that information that helps us process your card and helps us to serve the customer.

02:05:05.000 You know, all that information.

02:05:07.000 I want to clarify that that is a joke because I know that somebody's going to take that and say, Turns out Nick Fuentes' website asks where your guns are in your house, and how is this guy not Mossad?

02:05:20.000 You know, so I know people are going to.

02:05:22.000 You know that people are going to do that, but funny joke.

02:05:25.000 Yeah, haha, very funny. 0.98

02:05:27.000 Anand says, Nick Fuentes, is it true you were a Shiraki goon affiliated with the Trey Way 9 Tray Gangster Bloods? 0.99

02:05:35.000 Also, Bloods or Crips? 0.75

02:05:36.000 Which is more epic?

02:05:37.000 Yeah, I don't really want to take a side in that.

02:05:40.000 I don't need a reason for more people to want to kill me.

02:05:45.000 And aren't the 9 Tray Gangster Bloods in Virginia? 0.99

02:05:50.000 Isn't that where they operate? 0.88

02:05:51.000 Or on the East Coast, not in Chicago?

02:05:54.000 That is.

02:05:55.000 You know, that's Six Nines gang, right?

02:05:57.000 I don't believe they operate in Chicago.

02:05:59.000 At least I'm not aware of it.

02:06:01.000 So, yeah, I don't want to take a side in that.

02:06:04.000 I want to be alive.

02:06:06.000 ZoomTart says a friend from high school found my Twitter and called me a racist today.

02:06:10.000 Felt kind of weird.

02:06:11.000 Yeah, welcome to the club, man.

02:06:13.000 Yeah, this guy telling me that.

02:06:15.000 Gee, wow.

02:06:16.000 A friend of yours from high school called you a racist?

02:06:18.000 I wonder what that's like.

02:06:21.000 ASDF says Pizzeria Uno or Giordano's.

02:06:24.000 I like both of them.

02:06:25.000 It's been a while since I've had either.

02:06:27.000 I think I might have it tonight.

02:06:27.000 You know what?

02:06:29.000 You just gave me a taste for.

02:06:31.000 Giordano's.

02:06:32.000 I don't think there's an Uno nearby.

02:06:35.000 But I have been to the Pizzeria Uno, the original, and the Douai.

02:06:39.000 I think that's the second one right across the street.

02:06:42.000 I've been to that a few times, and they're really good.

02:06:45.000 And Giordano's is great.

02:06:46.000 I like them both, honestly. 1.00

02:06:48.000 Lumal Nattis. 1.00

02:06:48.000 You can't go wrong. 1.00

02:06:49.000 The Chicago local chains are amazing. 1.00

02:06:53.000 You go to some of these states, and their regional chains are shit. 1.00

02:06:58.000 Whataburger? 1.00

02:07:00.000 Whataburger is like McDonald's tier.

02:07:02.000 Even if you like it, you've got to agree it's like McDonald's tier, right?

02:07:06.000 California.

02:07:07.000 Well, California's got In N Out is good, obviously.

02:07:10.000 I like In N Out.

02:07:12.000 Fat Burger is pretty good.

02:07:14.000 But you go to like in Florida, I went to, what is the one in Florida?

02:07:19.000 There's like a burger chain.

02:07:20.000 It's called like Miami Grill, I think. 1.00

02:07:22.000 Total trash. 0.98

02:07:24.000 Chicago, you got Portillo's, Giordano's, Lou Malnati's, Pizzeria Uno. 0.99

02:07:30.000 You've got, what else?

02:07:32.000 What other?

02:07:33.000 I'm trying to think, I'm drawing a blank all of a sudden.

02:07:36.000 You've got Al's.

02:07:37.000 Beef, you've got bona beef, you've got all kinds of chains, and they're all winners.

02:07:43.000 Chicago has the best food in the world.

02:07:45.000 Cannot beat Chicago.

02:07:48.000 Hot dog, that's the point I was trying to make.

02:07:49.000 Culver's.

02:07:51.000 Hot dog says, I had Trump bucks in my month old mail.

02:07:54.000 You only get $5.

02:07:56.000 Five out of $1,200.

02:07:57.000 Well, thanks.

02:07:58.000 I'm glad you got your Trump bucks, though.

02:08:00.000 America First Catholic says, My little cousin is on his Ben Shapiro libertarian phase.

02:08:05.000 Should I black pill up on Ben and libertarians, or let the natural progression take its place?

02:08:10.000 I would do the wait and see approach.

02:08:10.000 Take his place.

02:08:13.000 You know, see how it goes.

02:08:14.000 If it's too slow or, you know, if he doesn't come around, then you got to black pill him.

02:08:18.000 But I think a lot of people come around on their own.

02:08:22.000 America First Catholic says, here's another three.

02:08:24.000 Thanks.

02:08:26.000 Anand says, chat type C for Crip and B for blood.

02:08:29.000 Okay, we're not doing that.

02:08:30.000 Disavow.

02:08:32.000 Anand says, do you think Trump and Republicans could make opening the country a platform in 2020?

02:08:37.000 Vote for Trump, Republican governors, and congressmen to end quarantine.

02:08:41.000 No, I don't think that would happen.

02:08:43.000 I think it might backfire on them if they made it partisan.

02:08:47.000 And also, I don't know if that really makes sense.

02:08:50.000 I mean, Republican governors, why would they, in other words, why would they wait until after the election to reopen?

02:08:57.000 Why would they say, well, vote for, why would they hold people hostage?

02:08:59.000 That wouldn't make any sense.

02:09:01.000 You know, if it's a Republican governor, I mean, I guess, you know, then if they get reelected, I don't know.

02:09:07.000 But it would make more sense to me that they would reopen before and, you know, fix the country before so that people are happy and then they vote for them.

02:09:16.000 So, that doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

02:09:19.000 Okay, let's take a look at our D Live super chats.

02:09:22.000 We've got Foy Lee who says LA riots 2.0 this summer.

02:09:26.000 Going to be comfy to watch the live streams.

02:09:29.000 I don't know if people are going to riot, honestly, but I guess we'll see.

02:09:33.000 I'm very black pilled on that kind of thing.

02:09:35.000 Like in France, that country has been on fire for like two years now with the yellow vests and all that.

02:09:40.000 But does America even have the capacity for a riot like that anymore?

02:09:45.000 I don't know if they do.

02:09:46.000 So.

02:09:47.000 So we'll see.

02:09:47.000 I mean, I think that'd be interesting if it happened, but I think people are too, like, pussified at this point.

02:09:54.000 Melanized nationalist says coronavirus more like Fed virus.

02:10:00.000 Yeah, that's great. 0.96

02:10:01.000 Red Pilled Zoomer says, elderly white couple assassinated in Delaware, RIP. 0.98

02:10:05.000 I saw that.

02:10:06.000 That was exactly what they said happened to Ahmaud Arbery, but real. 0.97

02:10:12.000 Tate Cover says, is your sis a big brain rhetorical master, too? 1.00

02:10:16.000 She's not really that political. 0.97

02:10:19.000 Bobby D says, if I use enough body powder, my farts become visible.

02:10:23.000 Okay, they look like white poofs of smoke.

02:10:26.000 Wow, thanks a lot for that. 0.96

02:10:27.000 Thanks for the Guinea.

02:10:28.000 Based Groyper says, my whole life, I didn't know if I even really existed, but I do, and people are starting to notice.

02:10:35.000 No joke, just a Joker quote.

02:10:37.000 Okay.

02:10:38.000 Well, thanks for the genie.

02:10:40.000 Yeah, yeah, I remember that from Joker, too.

02:10:44.000 Have a bad one. 0.84

02:10:44.000 Says, got to give a little credit to AGBARTBH. 0.84

02:10:48.000 Yeah, I agree.

02:10:49.000 Bradford says, notice me, senpai.

02:10:51.000 Okay, noticed.

02:10:53.000 Osama been hungry.

02:10:54.000 Says, just dumping the last of my lemons.

02:10:56.000 Stay frosty.

02:10:57.000 Thanks.

02:10:59.000 Sauce says, Will Gabby ever debate you?

02:11:02.000 Probably not. 1.00

02:11:02.000 She's an idiot. 1.00

02:11:03.000 She's a dumb bitch. 1.00

02:11:05.000 And she knows it. 1.00

02:11:07.000 Hess says, Thank you for all you do.

02:11:09.000 Keep up the great work.

02:11:10.000 Thanks.

02:11:11.000 Jacob says, Hey, Nick, reading the joys of Italian humor to you.

02:11:16.000 I don't know what that means.

02:11:17.000 Save the West says, Started watching every episode of America First in order.

02:11:20.000 Why would you do that, man?

02:11:22.000 That's just punishment.

02:11:23.000 Do you know how many episodes of the show there are?

02:11:25.000 There's 603 episodes.

02:11:27.000 That's like probably a thousand hours in itself, or maybe more.

02:11:32.000 I couldn't imagine.

02:11:34.000 But hey, knock yourself out, right?

02:11:36.000 I guess if you really like the show.

02:11:41.000 Duke of Sahib says Debating in my politically active theology teacher on immigration.

02:11:48.000 Any good sources to look at?

02:11:52.000 How many times do we have to do this?

02:11:53.000 Good sources on immigration.

02:11:55.000 You've got We Wanted Workers by Borjas.

02:11:58.000 You've got Who Are We by Sam Huntington.

02:12:02.000 Borjas has a number of good books on immigration.

02:12:05.000 Michelle Malkin, Sold Out, Open Borders Inc.

02:12:10.000 Peter Brimelow, Alien Nation.

02:12:13.000 Let me think, what else?

02:12:15.000 What else do we have on immigration?

02:12:19.000 Patrick Buchanan, Death of the West is somewhat about immigration, I guess.

02:12:23.000 The focus isn't really immigration, but features prominently as a theme.

02:12:30.000 Ann Coulter, Adios America.

02:12:32.000 I haven't read that one, but I've heard that's good.

02:12:35.000 So that's what I would go with.

02:12:37.000 But.

02:12:38.000 You have other good sources besides just books.

02:12:40.000 You have FAIR and CIS, Center for Immigration Studies and Federation for American Immigration Reform.

02:12:45.000 FAIR, CIS.

02:12:47.000 There's a good Twitter account called US Tech Workers or something like that, which I follow, which is good.

02:12:56.000 Who else?

02:12:57.000 I think that's a good list.

02:12:59.000 Epic Swag Gamers says industrial civilization isn't going to last long.

02:13:04.000 Okay, yeah, it definitely is.

02:13:07.000 Pete Davidson, standgirl on Twitter, banned after doxing her friends and harassing them.

02:13:12.000 LMAO.

02:13:14.000 Bruh.

02:13:15.000 Well, thanks for the genie.

02:13:16.000 I can't, for optical reasons, I can't endorse that, but that is kind of funny.

02:13:21.000 Base Nibba said, that's really good comics.

02:13:23.000 He's off the goop, man.

02:13:25.000 That's why you were asking in the Animal Crossing group chat for that message.

02:13:30.000 Base Nibba says, I got all these lemons now, Nibba. 0.98

02:13:35.000 Epic Swag Gamer says, New York City is trash. 0.99

02:13:35.000 Okay. 0.99

02:13:38.000 City and culture.

02:13:40.000 I've only been to New York City twice and for a day each time I was there.

02:13:45.000 So I don't really, I haven't really experienced it enough to give a take.

02:13:50.000 Melanized nationalist says cancer screen's not going on at my dad's hospital.

02:13:55.000 Walmart's packed while small businesses suffer.

02:13:57.000 Exactly.

02:13:58.000 We're not getting the health care we need.

02:14:00.000 We're not, you know, small businesses are closed.

02:14:02.000 We can't get haircuts.

02:14:03.000 Like, it's brutal.

02:14:06.000 No names says, keep up the good work, big guy.

02:14:08.000 Thanks.

02:14:09.000 Fani says, in my experience, more people die from being scared to go to the hospital with MI symptoms than the virus.

02:14:16.000 What's MI?

02:14:18.000 What experience are you speaking from?

02:14:20.000 Are you a doctor?

02:14:22.000 Base Crusader says, people turn their brains off because the experts said we must remain on lockdown.

02:14:27.000 It won't end well.

02:14:28.000 We will defeat the enemy because in God we trust.

02:14:31.000 Stay safe, friend.

02:14:32.000 So true.

02:14:34.000 Yeah, and that's just it.

02:14:34.000 All you need is somebody in like a lab coat.

02:14:36.000 All you need is an official to tell somebody something.

02:14:39.000 And they're like, Yup, I know what's going on.

02:14:42.000 I had that fight with my mom a few months ago.

02:14:44.000 I'm like, Mom, like, masks do prevent you from getting sick.

02:14:49.000 Like, they are, they do prevent the spread of the virus.

02:14:52.000 And she's like, No, they don't.

02:14:54.000 I'm like, Where did you hear that?

02:14:55.000 She's like, On the news.

02:14:56.000 They said, My mom's not usually like that, but, you know, she was like, she was watching the news a lot when the virus.

02:15:03.000 Outbreak happened.

02:15:05.000 And I'm like, of course it does.

02:15:07.000 Of course it spreads from droplets.

02:15:08.000 You think a cloth covering on your mouth and nose isn't going to stop that in some way, even just a little bit?

02:15:14.000 Nope.

02:15:15.000 It does nothing at all.

02:15:16.000 Okay.

02:15:17.000 Why?

02:15:18.000 Oh, because the official said so.

02:15:20.000 The TV said so. 1.00

02:15:22.000 She's not normally like that. 0.99

02:15:23.000 That was just on that one thing.

02:15:25.000 Everybody's got their one thing where they're misguided.

02:15:29.000 But I think a lot of people are like that.

02:15:31.000 They just go with whatever Fauci says, whatever the lab code says.

02:15:36.000 All you need is an official.

02:15:38.000 New dad Groyper says, got out of the military two months ago and have a newborn.

02:15:43.000 My area in Texas is not bad at all yet.

02:15:46.000 Didn't finish, keep doing great things.

02:15:47.000 God bless.

02:15:48.000 Well, hey, thanks a lot, man.

02:15:49.000 Congrats on the newborn.

02:15:51.000 Sounds awesome.

02:15:52.000 Congrats on getting out of the military.

02:15:54.000 Thank you for your service.

02:15:56.000 Thank you for your service.

02:15:58.000 And congrats on the baby.

02:16:00.000 Glad it's going good for you in Texas. 1.00

02:16:01.000 I wish I was in a state that wasn't retarded. 1.00

02:16:05.000 Contact says, boomers at work be like, I love my mixed grandkids. 1.00

02:16:09.000 Yeah. 1.00

02:16:10.000 Jason says, fuck lab coats, return to locker. 1.00

02:16:13.000 Yeah, I agree. 1.00

02:16:15.000 Jacob says, hey, Nick, tinfoil something, DOD guy here.

02:16:19.000 Thanks for the show.

02:16:19.000 Oh, the DOD guy.

02:16:21.000 You need to be banned immediately.

02:16:24.000 Keat says, great stuff tonight, or Keaton says, great stuff tonight, Nick.

02:16:28.000 Thanks.

02:16:29.000 Tally says, have my last diamond, bro.

02:16:31.000 You earned it.

02:16:32.000 Well, thanks.

02:16:33.000 Boopers says, no message, just the way I like it.

02:16:36.000 Ah, very good.

02:16:37.000 That is just the way I like it.

02:16:39.000 Big Chungus says, did Ben Bryant have a good arm?

02:16:42.000 I don't know what that means.

02:16:43.000 Who's Ben Bryant?

02:16:49.000 Some kind of, oh, is this a football player?

02:16:52.000 Oh, from my neighborhood.

02:16:54.000 Gotcha.

02:16:55.000 I have no idea.

02:16:56.000 I don't know who that is.

02:16:57.000 How old is he?

02:16:58.000 I wonder.

02:17:05.000 Oh, it doesn't say.

02:17:08.000 Oh, here we go.

02:17:09.000 Let me try 24 7 sports.

02:17:12.000 24 7 sports.

02:17:15.000 Ben Bryant, he's class of 2018.

02:17:20.000 What is that, college?

02:17:21.000 So he graduated in what, 2014?

02:17:26.000 I went to my high school.

02:17:27.000 It looks like vaguely familiar, but I don't really, I honestly don't recognize him.

02:17:37.000 Yeah, it doesn't ring a bell.

02:17:39.000 Ben Bryant, doesn't ring a bell.

02:17:42.000 Vlad Groypers says, How many knickers will become socialist with UBI?

02:17:46.000 I don't know, dude.

02:17:48.000 Bob Sacamano says, Shout out Patrick Casey.

02:17:50.000 Yeah, shout out to Patrick Casey, my brother. 0.99

02:17:54.000 Becoming Catholic again.

02:17:55.000 Very exciting to see.

02:17:56.000 Glad to hear it.

02:17:57.000 I was surprised by that.

02:17:58.000 I was like, what?

02:18:02.000 Patrick Paganokes Casey returning to tradition.

02:18:05.000 That's good to see.

02:18:06.000 I'm happy for him.

02:18:07.000 It's good to hear.

02:18:08.000 Jay Bucks says, Do you think there will be a difference in Republican versus Democratic states in reopening time?

02:18:14.000 Democrats benefit from economy tanking.

02:18:17.000 Yeah, I think the Democratic states are going to take longer to reopen, but that's also because the Democratic states are more populous.

02:18:23.000 You know, New York, Illinois, California, right?

02:18:28.000 So, and yeah, I think there might be some truth to that.

02:18:32.000 I don't know.

02:18:33.000 Because it's also in the governor's interest to reopen the state.

02:18:36.000 Because if the state economy is failing and they're the incumbent, then it's going to hurt them.

02:18:40.000 If that's the going theory, right?

02:18:42.000 If the bad economy hurts the incumbent, then they're shooting themselves in the foot.

02:18:47.000 By trying to stop the president, they're going to hurt themselves, especially in a blue state.

02:18:51.000 You know, Gavin Newsom is going to shut down the whole state and make himself wildly unpopular to get Californians not to vote for Trump.

02:18:59.000 How does that make sense?

02:19:00.000 You know, California Democrats will not vote for Trump.

02:19:02.000 They will, however, vote for Gavin Newsom, or he needs them, right?

02:19:06.000 So I don't think that makes a lot of sense.

02:19:09.000 Anand Semper says, You and Sean are on the front page of Canary Mission.

02:19:12.000 Oh, really?

02:19:14.000 Their profile on me was from, like, years ago.

02:19:17.000 Did they just put it back on or something?

02:19:21.000 Doesn't look like we're on the front page.

02:19:23.000 I don't see myself on the front page.

02:19:26.000 Under individuals, or. 0.90

02:19:29.000 We're not on the front page, you dummy.

02:19:31.000 Where do you see that? 0.91

02:19:32.000 Oh, yeah, there it is.

02:19:33.000 Nicholas Fuentes.

02:19:35.000 Well, hardly.

02:19:36.000 I'm like at the bottom of the front page.

02:19:38.000 It just lists my name.

02:19:40.000 That's because I'm the most prominent person on Canary Mission.

02:19:46.000 Giants says a buddy of mine is going against Vaush.

02:19:49.000 Any advice?

02:19:53.000 Debate advice or like what kind of advice?

02:19:56.000 My advice would be just to, with somebody like that, you just got to really stay focused.

02:20:03.000 You can't let them take the conversation in a different direction and pivot because that's what.

02:20:08.000 People like Destiny and Vaush do is they're constantly moving the goalposts and they will never give you an inch.

02:20:14.000 Even if you win on a point and they're tacitly conceding it, they will not waste a second to pivot to something else.

02:20:20.000 Well, even if this is true, then X, Y, and Z.

02:20:22.000 Well, even if that's true, then, well, what about this?

02:20:26.000 And also call them on the sources. 0.99

02:20:30.000 For as big of a source fag as they are, they're the ones who will not have data to back up their claim. 1.00

02:20:37.000 And if they do have data, they don't understand the data themselves. 1.00

02:20:40.000 You know, often it's just an appeal to authority.

02:20:42.000 So you got to watch that kind of stuff.

02:20:44.000 You got to make sure that you come prepared.

02:20:46.000 You have all the facts.

02:20:48.000 You come prepared to counter their facts.

02:20:49.000 You got to really, like, know the lay of the land on what arguments are out there, what statistics are used by both sides.

02:20:56.000 And you got to nail them on those points.

02:20:58.000 You got to keep them consistent and, you know, prevent them from just obfuscating. 0.97

02:21:04.000 Because that's the best debate tactic is just to throw up a bunch of shit and get the debate so confused and unfocused that people don't realize you're wrong or that you messed up on something. 0.97

02:21:13.000 So. 0.92

02:21:14.000 That's what those guys are experts in doing, especially Destiny. 0.98

02:21:17.000 He'll go lightning through something, and it's like a totally retarded statement, but a lot of people get flustered. 0.99

02:21:23.000 Oh, he talked really fast. 1.00

02:21:24.000 I'm done. 0.59

02:21:25.000 But a lot of it's just, you know, nonsense.

02:21:28.000 Jordan, it's just like Ben Shapiro.

02:21:30.000 Jordan Dallas Groyper says, I left last night's stream before I heard your answer on what Beardson's issue with me is.

02:21:35.000 Any idea?

02:21:37.000 Well, thanks for the genie.

02:21:38.000 No, I have no idea, honestly, because I know you were at AFPAC with us.

02:21:44.000 You know, Beardson was there.

02:21:45.000 I think you guys must have hung out at Harry's, right?

02:21:49.000 So, I have no idea.

02:21:50.000 You got it.

02:21:50.000 Why don't she ask Beardson?

02:21:51.000 I don't know.

02:21:52.000 I'm not Beardson.

02:21:53.000 I haven't been following that drama.

02:21:54.000 I didn't even watch the sweat that you were on yet.

02:21:57.000 I'll probably watch it later, but I have no idea.

02:22:01.000 Let's see.

02:22:02.000 Do we have any more entropy super chats?

02:22:05.000 Let's see.

02:22:05.000 Yeah, we got a couple.

02:22:10.000 Anand says If you want to red pill your little brother, leave him in the middle of the hood with a map and a gun.

02:22:15.000 He will come out a man.

02:22:16.000 Yeah, I don't agree with that.

02:22:18.000 To become a political commissar at the America First compound, you get locked in a room with all the episodes playing for a month.

02:22:24.000 It's like clockwork orange.

02:22:25.000 You have to get fully integrated.

02:22:28.000 That's basically where all these people come from.

02:22:30.000 Like Jaden, all these other people.

02:22:32.000 It's like they just got clockworked orange with America first.

02:22:35.000 And then they're like, based?

02:22:38.000 And, you know, emulating a lot of the mannerisms or the speech patterns.

02:22:43.000 So that is, you know, more or less what is required.

02:22:47.000 Optics Respectress says Patrick Casey is returning to the fold.

02:22:51.000 St. Boniface is smiling.

02:22:52.000 Oaks chopped down once again.

02:22:54.000 Yes, no more oaks.

02:22:56.000 No oaks.

02:22:58.000 It's good to see.

02:22:59.000 I am unironically very happy about that.

02:23:02.000 It's good to see.

02:23:04.000 Entropy Gang says if you put a reading list on the site, then most people would stop asking.

02:23:08.000 Well, I'm not going to do that.

02:23:09.000 So you can ask away.

02:23:11.000 You're not getting a reading list.

02:23:13.000 Well, if you just put it up, people will stop asking.

02:23:16.000 If you just surrender, then you win the war. 0.93

02:23:18.000 Why don't you shut up? 1.00

02:23:20.000 Why don't you shut the fuck up, dude? 1.00

02:23:22.000 Why don't you do your own research? 1.00

02:23:24.000 I'll recommend a book every year and again.

02:23:25.000 I'm not giving a reading list.

02:23:27.000 I just don't like reading lists, okay?

02:23:29.000 I'll do a reading list in like 30 years or something.

02:23:32.000 Okay, you can wait for it in the meantime.

02:23:35.000 I don't know.

02:23:36.000 At this point, it's just more about the principle than anything.

02:23:38.000 Now I'm just committed to not doing a reading list.

02:23:41.000 Anand says, just got a toothache.

02:23:44.000 FML.

02:23:44.000 I'm going to have to go Tom Hanks mode and castaway and use an ice skate.

02:23:48.000 For what?

02:23:49.000 I never saw a castaway.

02:23:50.000 I don't know what that means.

02:23:52.000 Justin KG says, I forgot to ask.

02:23:54.000 Can a young Nibba get an invite to the AC group chat? 0.99

02:23:57.000 Oh, yeah, yeah. 1.00

02:23:58.000 We got to throw you in there for our turnip gang. 0.99

02:24:02.000 Let me put that in a note.

02:24:08.000 Yeah, we got to build up our Animal Crossing group chat so that we can harvest bells.

02:24:15.000 Big Globe says, All Sup debating sticks, hex, and hammer later next week, I think.

02:24:19.000 Is he too scared of Nick and Patrick?

02:24:22.000 No, we just didn't want to debate him because he's not really relevant.

02:24:25.000 What are we really going to debate about?

02:24:27.000 Everything that me and All Sup debated about years ago has remained unchanged, right?

02:24:32.000 I mean, we debated on Nationalist Review.

02:24:35.000 We did blood sports on Ethan Ralph.

02:24:38.000 What more is there to be said?

02:24:40.000 The guy is bitter and resentful and not even relevant.

02:24:43.000 And he wanted a debate challenge on Ralph, I think, because he thinks that that will what?

02:24:49.000 Propel him back into the spotlight for a minute, you know, for a few seconds.

02:24:55.000 So that's what I see happening. 1.00

02:24:56.000 No, I think that's, you know, clout chasing, trying to get on my clout dick. 0.99

02:25:01.000 Not going to happen, dude. 0.98

02:25:03.000 And that just goes to show nobody is going to TRS.

02:25:09.000 For debates or for exposure, because nobody gets exposure on TRS because they're ghettoized. 0.71

02:25:14.000 They have to come to Ralph Retort on DLive, which is in the America First orbit. 0.94

02:25:20.000 Not saying that Ralph Retort is like, you know, that I'm Ralph Retort, but you know what I'm saying.

02:25:24.000 They have to come into our orbit, they have to come on our turf to get any exposure, right?

02:25:29.000 They have to go to our people to debate us, you know, or our foes to get exposure.

02:25:34.000 So I'm not going to indulge that.

02:25:36.000 I see it for what it is.

02:25:38.000 So, you know, Alsup versus Styx, Hex, and Hammer, I think that's the debate that nobody wanted to see, right?

02:25:44.000 The debate that nobody was asking for.

02:25:47.000 James Alsup versus Styx, Hex, and Hammer.

02:25:50.000 A debate that should have been left in 2017.

02:25:54.000 I'll probably watch it just for fun.

02:25:57.000 And I like Ralph.

02:25:58.000 I want to support Ralph, but I just think it's funny. 0.98

02:26:02.000 Jordan B says Damn, dude, did not know you were a Clockwork Orange fan. 0.97

02:26:06.000 What a movie. 0.98

02:26:07.000 Very interesting that you go that far back with films.

02:26:09.000 Nice.

02:26:10.000 With a Stanley Kubrick movie.

02:26:13.000 What?
