00:09:26.840There was a petition, I think, on change.org for him to be criminally charged.
00:09:33.160criminally charged and i believe he's an he's ex-military his name is his name is uh matt colvin
00:09:39.640and he teamed up with his brother to make some money off of these uh sanitary supplies and he
00:09:44.420was selling these hand sanitizer bottles from anywhere between nine dollars to i think someone
00:09:48.300actually paid eighty dollars yes for a for a little hand sanitizer and it it really brings
00:09:53.660this this question of how do people feel about other people profiting during times of distress
00:09:59.580distress and chaos i think it's um i think it's again back to the power of social media like
00:10:07.020enough people spoke up where matt was like this probably isn't morally right also where uh
00:10:14.480the big difference lies is that because i know what you're getting at like this isn't the first
00:10:19.700time yeah that's what i've just been mentioned over the past couple days to people like if people
00:10:23.800out there watching it are so distraught over these hand sanitizers thinking that this is the first
00:10:28.240time that someone in the united states has profited off of war or or you know famine plague
00:10:34.760or famine whatever most of the companies that you know and love today were probably built off the
00:10:40.180backs of some sort of distress in this country that is when people get entrepreneurial and take0.93
00:10:44.980advantage unfortunately but this time the uh the internet warriors just weren't fucking having it0.89
00:10:50.620it's because it's a singular person you can you there's a name and there's a face and you can0.97
00:10:55.640attack him and ruin his fucking life large conglomerates big companies where you can't0.91
00:10:59.500you it's hard to take it down a massive company's profiting off of uh the calamity of someone's life1.00
00:11:04.300right i mean these grocery stores are making they're probably they have they have to be
00:11:08.960they're chilling for as much as the grocery stores are gaining i am so curious about the
00:11:15.300companies who are literally losing everything airlines airlines uh the gyms who are shut down
00:11:19.540the restaurants mom and pop businesses oh my god all businesses are got i mean like all those
00:11:24.280people still have to pay rent it yeah that's who i feel for it's just another reaction or action
00:11:29.000reaction situation every for every loser there's a winner you know and for every person that's
00:11:33.360being hit hard by this virus someone else is making money and obviously you're looking we're
00:11:36.940looking at the stock market today down another 2200 points the stock market is absolutely crashing
00:11:42.400through the floor and i looked at ray dalio obviously the the the owner founder of the
00:11:48.080largest hedge fund in the entire world blackwater he uh is that what it's called blackwater bridge0.96
00:11:53.280Bridgewater Bridgewater he's saying that he actually was not able to capitalize on coronavirus as well as he did the financial crisis of 2008 which is what kind of made him who he is today they they made the wrong the wrong calls and weren't actually able to make money off it but there's a lot of other hedge funds out there right now who bet hard against stocks and against airlines and against people and are making fucking killings.
00:12:14.820do you think that's why that this is being escalated so much like obviously you know we
00:12:20.000want to care for like parents grandparents and people who are actually susceptible but do you
00:12:24.120think there's ulterior motives here that people are cashing out on like are you talking about
00:12:30.420some sort of like government uh yeah like government and like the people that you're
00:12:33.580talking about like do you think they're putting pressure to shut things down aggressively do you
00:12:38.140think this is blown out of proportion at all so like fear like fear mongering and some stuff i
00:12:43.060don't think so i think i think the only way to stop this thing they call it flattening the curve
00:12:47.020the curve is is new infections and they want new infections to flatten out and the only way to stop
00:12:51.900to stop that from to stop new infections from happening is getting people to stop going out
00:12:56.120people watching this show right now are probably hunkered down at home they're not going out they're0.89
00:12:59.700not taking part in public gatherings hopefully they're not going to fucking disney world0.83
00:13:02.800because that's the only way basically what they're trying to do is prolong the amount of time
00:13:08.340it takes for test kits and vaccines to come yeah that's what flattening the curve means and so they
00:13:13.360want cases to drop to a point low enough where they can just buy time and so the government the
00:13:18.600u.s fed has actually not really done too much it's actually being done on a state by state and
00:13:22.860county by county basis when the fed gets involved that's when we might potentially start seeing
00:13:27.560national guard in the streets that means we're in a major italy well that's what i've heard
00:13:31.220one of my friends has uh i think her mom is in the military and she said that that could
00:13:36.120potentially happen there could go yeah because that's what's happening in italy i actually have
00:13:40.040a segment right now um two of italy's biggest influencers are down to be on the line and talk
00:13:46.780about the quarantine that they are currently in really yeah fidez and louis sal um i'm gonna try
00:13:52.420to face it to facetime these guys right now my brothers here we are how are you guys good can
00:26:54.180So can I tell you my one issue with it, though?
00:26:56.760And by the way, I'm not saying mine's perfect, but I feel like you, when you have this set up like this, Danny, does it look like he's at risk?
00:56:09.980and make that the thing that people believe in themselves
00:56:12.520for with this uh pandemic specifically i guess it's literally just to distract people and try
00:56:19.920to be a light in some way you know it's not so much about the maverick movement so much as
00:56:24.740just being a silly guy you can turn to because you're stressed out and want something to do and
00:56:28.740watch yeah i love that that's i think that's the main feedback we see too i think people0.97
00:56:33.440the main message we get back is hey listen your your content distracts us from from our lives it
00:56:40.580It makes us stop thinking about, you know, the fact that my dad's hitting my mom or the fact that, you know, my grades are dropping in school because I have ADHD or the fact that I can't go out because I have anxiety or the fact I can't go to the restaurant because coronavirus is happening.
00:56:52.200We watch your content because it makes us feel like, you know, a little bit more lighthearted and adds just a little bit more joy to our lives.
00:56:59.140And honestly, the more, you know, positivity and smiling that we can induce, you know, through our antics, that's a victory for me.
01:05:29.140He gets right up next to the microphone.
01:05:30.880I hear you can almost hear the eyelashes hit each other.
01:05:33.980You've never seen Italy so quiet as when the Pope gets up to wink on Halloween.
