00:47:30.000Very excited to be back with you here tonight on Tuesday.
00:47:34.000And there's a lot to talk about tonight, lots to get into.
00:47:38.000Our main story is we're going to be talking about what's happening in California.
00:47:43.000And 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.
00:48:33.000But Los Angeles County is now extending their stay at home order or their lockdown for three more months until August.
00:48:42.000In addition to that, California is shutting down all their state schools for the remainder of 2020.
00:48:48.000All the state universities, the California State University System is closed, obviously, not just for the spring semester and for any activity in the summer.
00:48:58.000But they announced today that they're closed for the fall semester, too.
00:49:03.000So we'll talk about what's happening in California and in some other states, including mine.
00:49:33.000Since this started, and some to this day have been saying that the economy will recover in a V shape.
00:49:39.000They say that we'll have a V shaped recovery, shaped like the letter V. And what does that mean?
00:49:45.000It means that the economy, of course, has collapsed.
00:49:49.000Unemployment is 15%, 20 million jobs lost.
00:49:53.000The employment rate is down to something like 55%.
00:49:57.000The economy is going to contract by 7% this year, more than 7%.
00:50:02.000But many are saying that maybe this is okay, or maybe we can process this mentally.
00:50:07.000Or 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?
00:50:19.000Rapid decline and then a rapid increase.
00:50:23.000But I've been saying for a long time, and I think I said last week, that this is not going to be the case.
00:50:28.000It's not going to be a V shaped recovery.
00:50:30.000In other words, we're not going to get back to where we were in 2019 or early 2020 until at least 2022.
00:50:55.000And the evidence is now mounting, and we're going to look at an article today from the Wall Street Journal that I'm right.
00:51:01.000Like 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.
00:51:10.000And 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.
00:51:21.000And everyone is always lying to us in general.
00:51:25.000And I'm talking about the media and the government and the UN and all that and the news.
00:51:32.000But now more than ever, they're lying about everything.
00:51:35.000And they're deliberately lying about everything.
00:51:38.000And there's actually a very specific reason why they're lying.
00:51:42.000It reminds me of like with the masks or even the initial stay at home orders.
00:51:48.000They know that if they told us how bad it really is, that people would panic.
00:51:54.000And 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.
00:52:05.000They 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.
00:52:24.000Lie and they changed their story over the course of a few weeks or a few months.
00:52:29.000We saw this, I think, most prominently with the masks.
00:52:33.000What did they tell us initially when the outbreak first started in the United States?
00:54:16.000Now they're telling us in mid May that the quarantine will be extended for three more months.
00:54:23.000And if you violate it, you get put in jail and you get a fine.
00:54:28.000And 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.
00:54:38.000That people would flip, that people would disobey.
00:54:42.000There would be mass demonstrations against this.
00:54:45.000You know, people would be furious if they were told that in March.
00:54:49.000But 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.
00:55:00.000They know that this gradual, incremental approach will not rouse a big reaction.
00:55:06.000And the same is true with the economy.
00:55:08.000People are telling the economists, the experts, they're telling everybody the economy's gonna be fine.
00:55:15.000Wall Street, if you look at the stock market, it's like miraculous, right?
00:55:19.000If 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.
00:55:28.000Consumer confidence is coming out, unemployment, all that.
00:55:32.000And I think they know full well what's going on with that, too.
00:55:36.000If 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.
00:55:48.000Once again, there would be massive discontent, massive outrage.
00:55:51.000So they tell people, you're only temporarily unemployed.
00:55:54.000And, you know, here's a little check and everything's going to be fine.
00:55:58.000Never 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.
00:56:09.000So, anyway, that's the pattern I'm noticing.
00:56:10.000But we're going to get into all of that.
00:56:12.000I kind of just explained all of it, but we'll get more into all that and all the details.
00:56:17.000Like I said, we'll talk about the economy and then about the quarantine.
00:56:20.000But, I'm just losing my mind because they're lying.
00:56:24.000And 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.
00:56:36.000And, you know, some of it maybe they didn't have all the information, but clearly we're seeing a lot of lies, right?
00:56:42.000So I'm almost, you know, people said maybe a month ago, oh, Nick, you're doing a 180.
00:56:47.000At first you were in favor of the shutdown and now you're not.
00:56:50.000Now I think I'm basically in 180 territory.
00:56:53.000And 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.
00:57:03.000And now it's a totally different picture.
00:57:05.000We're not going to get out until August, and we'll get into why that is later on.
00:57:09.000But 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.
00:57:22.000It's time for people to go back outside.
00:57:24.000I don't trust these doctors, I don't trust the scientists.
00:57:28.000Shame on anybody for doing that to begin with, right?
00:57:31.000Now 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.
00:57:40.000What is the argument for keeping everybody locked down?
00:59:22.000They file a DMCA request and demand that you take down the copyrighted content.
00:59:28.000So 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.
01:02:41.000This is the person, remember, by the way, who last week said, I will not take relief money from the federal government.
01:02:48.000And help my employees because that would violate my principles.
01:02:52.000So he's all about his principles when it comes to starving his employees.
01:02:57.000But 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.
01:05:28.000It 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.
01:05:43.000Now, however, they expect a swoosh recovery.
01:05:47.000Named 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.
01:06:02.000So it's a swoosh, obviously, like the Nike logo, and it's like backwards, right?
01:06:08.000So it means it goes down and then it slowly goes back up like a swoosh, right?
01:06:15.000The sobering new view reflects the depth of the contraction now being recorded for the spring.
01:06:19.000As 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.
01:06:30.000Mark Schneider, the chief executive of Nestle, said recently This is not going to be a quick recovery.
01:06:37.000This is going to be a several quarter, if not several year kind of process.
01:06:42.000Airlines don't expect passenger numbers to return to pre coronavirus levels until 2022 at the earliest.
01:06:49.000Social distancing will make it harder to go to the movies, eat out, or visit.
01:06:52.000Beauty salons until a vaccine is developed.
01:06:55.000Consumer goods companies anticipate that shoppers will switch to cheaper items and forego splurges, likely remaining tight fisted long after lockdowns end.
01:07:05.000Some corporations have already announced fresh layoffs for the fall, prolonging the joblessness surge that has already left more than 30 million Americans unemployed.
01:07:15.000According 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.
01:07:28.000Of those, almost a third expect to stay away for more than six months.
01:07:32.000In a separate poll, more than half of respondents plan to scale back on Christmas shopping.
01:09:11.000Their business is cut in half for years into the future.
01:09:15.000So 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.
01:09:27.000How does that go for a megaplex that has 20 different screens or 15 different screens, and now they're operating at half capacity?
01:09:35.000And then that's not even factoring in that.
01:09:38.000People's behaviors and habits are going to change.
01:09:42.000Forget even the fact that if you're operating at max capacity, you're still at 50% or 30%, whatever it is.
01:09:49.000But 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.
01:10:13.000People 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?
01:11:22.000In complete contradiction with what the government is saying about the reopening.
01:11:26.000How would you even have a V shaped recovery if they don't ease the restrictions?
01:11:32.000In 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.
01:11:44.000But you have all the restrictions, they're not going away on June 1st.
01:11:49.000Some states are not even going away by August 1st.
01:11:53.000And even in that case, they're going to be eased after that, not dissipated completely, but they will ease slowly over time.
01:12:01.000So, how could it be anything but a so called swoosh or worse?
01:12:05.000The 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.
01:12:15.000So, to me, all of this is basically obvious.
01:12:18.000And honestly, it's just dishonest that they're still peddling this narrative, even today.
01:12:24.000I saw there was a Federal Reserve official saying it's going to be a V shaped recovery, and I keep seeing that.
01:12:31.000And 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.
01:12:40.000Because right now, you've got, like I said, 20 million jobs lost, unemployment's 15%, probably much higher than that.
01:12:48.000Because while unemployment is 15%, the employment rate has gone down from, I think, 62% down to 55%.
01:12:58.000And if you look at U6 unemployment, it's probably much higher than that.
01:13:35.000Well, maybe not none of them, but a lot of them, maybe even most of them are not coming back.
01:13:40.000You know, think about how the American economy is.
01:13:43.000The American economy is a service economy.
01:13:45.000I 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.
01:13:56.000The service sector is dependent on people leaving their houses and shopping.
01:14:03.000Obviously, using services, close interpersonal contact, all of which is being restricted by the government indefinitely for the foreseeable future.
01:14:13.000Even 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.
01:14:22.000So, 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.
01:14:31.000You 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.
01:14:41.000People are cutting their cable cords, things like that.
01:14:44.000And none of that's going to bounce back.
01:14:46.000It's not going to bounce back when the hard lockdown ends.
01:14:49.000It's not going to bounce back when the last of the social distancing measures ease off in three years.
01:14:58.000And I think everyone's just being lied to.
01:15:00.000How could anybody not see what's going on here?
01:15:03.000I think it's pretty obvious that the level of economic activity is just simply depressed.
01:15:10.000And it will be until the virus is eradicated and then sometime after that and until all the social distancing measures ease off.
01:15:17.000And that's not going to happen for years.
01:15:20.000You don't get a vaccine or herd immunity for years.
01:15:23.000And 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.
01:15:34.000So 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.
01:15:48.000I 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.
01:15:54.000The last relief measure they did was those $1,200 checks.
01:15:59.000That was the last cash payment to Americans.
01:16:02.000Aside from the SBA loans, that was the last stimulus, period.
01:16:07.000The third phase stimulus, that was the $2.1 trillion plus the $4 trillion from the Federal Reserve.
01:16:14.000That 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.
01:16:28.000This 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.
01:16:37.000People that own property are going to get destroyed.
01:16:39.000People that have rental properties are getting killed.
01:16:43.000And none of that is going to get better.
01:16:45.000It's actually going to get worse as time goes on, especially with these restrictions in place.
01:16:49.000So the government can't have it all ways.
01:16:51.000You can't have the restrictions but not have the money flow, right?
01:16:55.000If you're going to tell people legally you can't make money, then you have to make up the difference.
01:17:00.000You have to find a way to make it work.
01:17:03.000And 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?
01:18:59.000Because you're going to see a lot of layoffs in the fall.
01:19:02.000Like 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.
01:19:15.000So, they're planning to lay off 14,000 people in October, right?
01:19:19.000So, 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.
01:20:57.000When 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.
01:21:06.000Maybe you could have done it state by state instead of nationally.
01:21:09.000I mean, technically, that is how it went down, but it all happened at once.
01:21:13.000It was at the behest of the government's guidelines and so on.
01:21:17.000But I think a shutdown was appropriate based on the information that we had.
01:21:22.000Everything, maybe even a shutdown until May 1st would have been appropriate.
01:21:50.000It says, Los Angeles County will likely continue its stay at home order through the summer.
01:21:55.000Officials 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.
01:22:11.000And that is in addition to the entire state university system, which is closing.
01:22:18.000It 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.
01:22:29.000Through the fall semester, so through to the end of 2020.
01:22:33.000All schools have shifted to online courses for most students, and that form of virtual instruction will continue at least through the end of 2020.
01:22:43.000There 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.
01:22:51.000The policy change affects nearly half a million students across the state of California and beyond.
01:22:58.000And before we get into this, I have to remind you what the reason of the lockdown is because nobody seems to know.
01:23:05.000The purpose of the lockdown was never to wait out the virus.
01:23:10.000I think a lot of people still implicitly think that.
01:23:13.000And even a lot of the governors are saying that.
01:23:15.000Some people like Fauci and others are saying that.
01:23:19.000That the reason we have the lockdown is to wait until we develop a treatment for the virus or a vaccine or develop herd immunity.
01:23:42.000Viruses are notoriously hard to vaccinate against.
01:23:45.000The cases when you find Really effective vaccines for viruses are rare in history.
01:23:52.000So, people are saying 12 to 18 months, that's the minimum.
01:23:55.000That's if everything goes according to plan.
01:23:57.000So, 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.
01:24:14.000Treatment, who knows if we'll ever develop an effective treatment for the coronavirus.
01:24:18.000But now you have all these people saying we're just going to wait it out.
01:24:22.000Indefinitely for at least a year, possibly many years, until the virus blows over.
01:24:28.000But that was never the purpose of the lockdown.
01:24:30.000Maybe it was all along, but that's not what they told us initially.
01:24:34.000What 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.
01:24:47.000They said, we'll shut down for two weeks or maybe longer so that we can put in place precautions and prevent a giant surge.
01:24:56.000So many cases that there wouldn't be enough hospital personnel or beds to treat everybody.
01:25:02.000Because if that happens, then that's when you see a high mortality rate.
01:25:06.000Because if you have, you know, if everybody's going to get sick, then that's just going to happen.
01:25:11.000But 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.
01:25:22.000And without any kind of treatment or healthcare, then the death rate is going to skyrocket.
01:25:27.000Because the virus with healthcare, Or the death rate with healthcare is probably pretty low.
01:25:35.000So they said, we'll shut down temporarily and we will do that so that we can prevent this giant surge.
01:25:40.000We'll treat everybody who has it in this initial spike.
01:25:43.000And 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.
01:26:38.000Did 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?
01:26:47.000Not 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.
01:26:55.000So, 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?
01:27:06.000And now the goalpost has shifted from.
01:27:09.000We want to prevent an overwhelming of the healthcare system, we want to eradicate the virus before we reopen.
01:28:21.000You're going to destroy the economy completely.
01:28:25.000And 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.
01:28:41.000They're the only people that could care about the economy.
01:30:00.000When you see all these small businesses liquidating themselves and foreclosing on their properties and shutting down, who stands to gain from that?
01:30:22.000So, all these giant corporations, in particular big tech companies, but even just other ones, are waiting in the wings.
01:30:28.000For all these small businesses to go down so that they can go in and move in and pick up the pieces.
01:30:36.000So, 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.
01:30:44.000And 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.
01:31:09.000So, when we're talking about the economy contracting and being destroyed by these constantly moving goalposts on the shutdown, this is for the people.
01:31:18.000This is for the American workers, for American small business owners, for American consumers.
01:31:56.000I'm not a worker, I'm a media personality.
01:31:58.000But 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.
01:34:06.000And we should do the same here, especially across the country.
01:34:09.000You 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.
01:36:22.000Don't you see the game being played here?
01:36:24.000I'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.
01:36:36.000If you try to reopen your business early, they arrest you.
01:36:40.000There 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.
01:36:50.000Otherwise, they'd send her to seven days in jail.
01:36:52.000This is the kind of stuff that's going on.
01:36:55.000And what do you think is happening all the while?
01:36:57.000Like I said, giant corporations expanding their control.
01:37:01.000I'm not trying to get conspiratorial here because I think, you know, some people are obviously going off the deep end about this.
01:37:28.000He's the biggest private funder of the World Health Organization, biggest besides the United States government, and he wants us closed indefinitely.
01:37:36.000Oh, I guess we just happen to overlap this way.
01:37:38.000Well, 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.
01:37:56.000Bill Gates, the UN, the World Health Organization, Dr. Fauci, like Barack Obama, liberals, women, homosexuals, and who's on the side of reopening?
01:38:08.000So I think it's pretty black and white at this point.
01:38:11.000You know, you wanted to shut down for two weeks not to overwhelm.
01:39:12.000So I'm not saying this for my benefit.
01:39:14.000You 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.
01:39:32.000Driving through McDonald's without a mask on and then eating it in the parking lot, it makes no difference to me.
01:39:38.000Now I have to make a different excuse for why I can't hang out with my friends.
01:39:44.000So for me, it's not for my benefit that I'm saying this.
01:39:48.000It'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.
01:40:10.000We're going to take a look at our super chats, and we're going to see what you guys are saying about all this.
01:40:15.000I'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.
01:40:25.000Because 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.
01:40:33.000We need to keep the lockdown in place, blah, blah, blah.
01:40:36.000And to what extent people are agreeing with me.
01:41:02.000I think I'm making a good case here, right?
01:41:04.000I think people can see the logic of it.
01:41:07.000Facts and logic, that's what we're about.
01:41:08.000And 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?
01:41:21.000I'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.
01:42:47.000That is the one thing that we can count on.
01:42:49.000Well, 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.
01:44:20.000And if you do think that, you're dumb.
01:44:22.000I like how it's like, You know, it also asks for your credit card information because it has to charge your credit card.
01:44:30.000The 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.
01:44:42.000Because the problem we were running into is that people internationally, their zip codes wouldn't register.
01:44:49.000Like if you're from Australia, UK, Canada, about 25% of my audience is from Canada, UK, and Australia or elsewhere in the world.
01:44:58.000People would put in their zip code and it wouldn't register.
01:45:01.000So, on the checkout form, you need that additional information for the international people to authenticate the card.
01:45:07.000So, that has to do with the payment processor.
01:45:09.000But, yeah, so are you just trying to create a docs list?
01:46:51.000And now we're going to talk to the internet pagans.
01:46:53.000A message to internet pagans calling Jesus a Jew on a stick won't stop him from loving you unconditionally and wishing for your salvation.
01:47:01.000Yeah, 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.
01:47:11.000I don't even say it's not like, oh, a snowflake thing, but it's just like, Why do people need to hear that?
01:47:16.000That's only a small group of retards on the internet that say that.
01:47:20.000So, better just not to address people like that.
01:47:24.000Vito 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.
01:47:57.000And I saw a lot of that throughout the Groyper Wars.
01:48:00.000It'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.
01:48:27.000Vito 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.
01:48:35.000Looks maxers beat ideology cucks any day of the week.
01:48:50.000That's why optics matters more than anything else in the world.
01:48:54.000Because 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.
01:49:14.000And 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.
01:49:27.000And half of her simps would come to defend her.
01:49:30.000And the same goes for the best looking TikTok e boy.
01:49:33.000If 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.
01:50:43.000You 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.
01:52:19.000People 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.
01:52:32.000All 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.
01:52:47.000And so they go out seeking out sex, drugs.
01:52:52.000Attention, friends, you know, whatever, alcohol.
01:52:58.000But they're still miserable, but they're still miserable.
01:53:00.000They 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.
01:53:07.000Maybe this will, you know, make me happy, whatever.
01:53:10.000The 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?
01:53:17.000If you are some, you know, just total degenerate and you're.
01:53:23.000Just, you know, riding the carousel, you know, in college or in high school.
01:53:29.000What guy is going to want to settle down with a girl like that?
01:53:55.000You 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?
01:54:01.000You know, they've got a tattoo and they're dried up and they look gross.
01:55:12.000You 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.
01:55:21.000I 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.
01:55:33.000I 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.
01:55:41.000And so people will find anything that they can to take away from that, right?
01:55:48.000Straight up lies, or it's, well, he's young, or well, he's short, or he lives at home.
01:55:56.000And like, none of these things are home runs.
01:55:59.000Most of these things aren't even true.
01:56:01.000But 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.
01:56:09.000If I was just some dummy, they could engage and embarrass me and, you know, show what a ridiculous person I am.
01:56:14.000But I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't have casual sex.
01:56:18.000So, 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.
01:57:34.000Yeah, I have heard about Paul Singer going for Twitter.
01:57:39.000I 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.
01:57:49.000Charlie says, Yo, Nick, have you watched Plandemic?
01:57:54.000As 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.
01:58:30.000Lab codes should give guidance, but they should not be making decisions.
01:58:35.000The people that should be crafting the policies should be.
01:58:38.000The politicians, the bureaucrats, the president, you know, the people whose responsibility is to look over the interior of the country, not a scientist.
01:58:48.000What does a scientist know about public policy?
01:58:51.000What 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?
01:59:03.000A scientist doesn't have the first clue about that.
01:59:21.000Optics 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.
01:59:32.000Because 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.
01:59:40.000That sounds oxymoronic, but they're not even.
02:02:37.000Maybe 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.
02:03:38.000Candace Owens, surprisingly, I mean, she surprised me because I thought she was like with Charlie Kirk.
02:03:43.000Cringe 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.
02:03:54.000It takes a lot of integrity, I think, to do that.
02:03:56.000That kind of thing surprises me because she has nothing to gain by tweeting that.
02:04:00.000I don't think she has anything to gain by tweeting about black crime statistics and black on white crime, you know.
02:04:07.000And 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.
02:04:16.000You 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.
02:05:07.000I 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?
02:05:20.000You know, so I know people are going to.
02:05:22.000You know that people are going to do that, but funny joke.
02:09:01.000You know, if it's a Republican governor, I mean, I guess, you know, then if they get reelected, I don't know.
02:09:07.000But 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.
02:09:16.000So, that doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
02:09:19.000Okay, let's take a look at our D Live super chats.
02:09:22.000We've got Foy Lee who says LA riots 2.0 this summer.
02:09:26.000Going to be comfy to watch the live streams.
02:09:29.000I don't know if people are going to riot, honestly, but I guess we'll see.
02:09:33.000I'm very black pilled on that kind of thing.
02:09:35.000Like in France, that country has been on fire for like two years now with the yellow vests and all that.
02:09:40.000But does America even have the capacity for a riot like that anymore?
02:20:48.000You come prepared to counter their facts.
02:20:49.000You got to really, like, know the lay of the land on what arguments are out there, what statistics are used by both sides.
02:20:56.000And you got to nail them on those points.
02:20:58.000You got to keep them consistent and, you know, prevent them from just obfuscating.
02:21:04.000Because 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.
