Good evening everybody you're watching America First.
My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes.
We have a great show for you tonight.
Very excited to be back with you here tonight on Monday.
And we are back with another exciting week.
Another electrifying week of coronavirus coverage.
Yes, once again we are talking about the virus.
It's still going on.
So we've got a lot to discuss with regards to that.
We will be looking and reviewing, looking at and reviewing the new numbers.
I've got another whiteboard here.
Fresh, ready to go, the latest, the latest numbers, up to the minute one might say, the latest numbers here that we're looking at in all the different countries, top 16 and around the world.
We'll also be talking about the news conference today with the President, the Attorney General, We'll be talking about the relief package which is now stalling in the Senate and there is a rival relief package being proposed by the Democrats, specifically being proposed by Nancy Pelosi in the House of Representatives.
So we will look at what's in that bill, we'll look at the bill that was stalled, or the bill that was blocked rather, by the Democrats not just once but twice over the weekend and then again today.
And we'll get into my general take about the direction of all of this.
It's been the weekend, it's been a few days, and I've got a little bit of a fresh take for you about where things are.
I kind of left you off on Friday with a bit of a black pill.
You know, on Friday I told you straight up, it was supposed to be a casual low-key show, but I told you on Friday that there's really no end in sight for this.
No end in sight for the containment of the virus, no end in sight for the virus itself and its spread.
And I said that you should think about that, and I've been thinking a lot about that, and I have a little bit of a new take tonight about where things are headed.
Not exactly new, but kind of an updated, a fresh take, if you will.
The Monday take.
We've got a big show.
It's gonna be exciting.
I'm back.
I'm back on the show.
It feels like it's been a while.
I know it's only been the weekend.
It's only been a couple of days, but man, it's like a long weekend.
unidentified
And I don't know.
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼
I mean, normally, I've been living in self-quarantine basically.
It's not like every weekend I'm out doing things and just this weekend we're all forced inside.
I was going to be inside anyway.
I probably would have been inside no matter what.
But, well actually no, this weekend we would have done that event in LA.
That would have been, so I would have been in LA, scratch that, I would have been in LA doing that event with Alex Jones and Soph and a few other people.
But generally, generally I'd just be home.
But it does feel like since the coronavirus containment set in, since the shelter in place, the quarantine set in, it just feels like the days drag on.
I don't know what it is, but I feel more bored.
Maybe it's because I'm cognizant of the fact that you can't go out anymore.
I think that's how a lot of people are reacting.
Because prior to the coronavirus, me and probably many other people, as I said, it's not like we would be out doing anything.
We were just hanging out at home.
But then the minute you get told, you can't go outside, you can't dine out, you can't do this and that, well then all of a sudden people get stir-crazy.
So I think there's something psychological going on there.
But it felt like a long weekend.
It feels like it's been a long time.
Since I've talked to you, and it kind of has.
Saturday, I believe, was the 14th consecutive day, 13th or 14th, I think it was the 13th consecutive day that I had streamed.
So, you know the show is Monday through Friday, but I had streamed 13 days consecutively because I had been doing weekend streams, and I finally broke that streak on Sunday.
I didn't stream at all on Sunday, unless you count the very early morning, like 1, 2 a.m.
...on Sunday, but besides that, I didn't stream yesterday evening or afternoon, anything like that, so it felt good to get a little bit of a break, recharge my batteries a little bit.
You know I'm a very introverted person, so if I'm too exposed, too much exposure to people in real life, or too much streaming...
It gets to be overwhelming for me.
So it's good to just hang out.
I'm usually hanging out on stream anyway, but you know what I'm saying.
To just kind of direct some of that energy inwardly.
So I'm back.
So I'm back.
I'm feeling good.
My spirits are high.
Ready to start another week.
Back to work for me, which is maybe the first time that I'm jealous of the wagees.
All these wagees out there and all the students, they get today off.
Extended spring break or online classes.
Wagees, at least in Illinois, and California, and New York, and now a few other states, being told to stay home.
And all this weekend I've been talking to my friends and they're, you know, I don't know what I'm gonna do.
Ah, you know, tomorrow, whatever.
And I said, I gotta go back to work on Monday.
I have to go back, back to the job.
I commute to the studio and write up another whiteboard and do another show, but that's okay.
Lots to discuss, lots to get into.
And I gotta tell you, now that the coronavirus is getting stale, I think it's a lot easier to think it through and be realistic about it.
I think after a couple of weeks, we've basically resigned ourselves to the fact that we're living through a pandemic and we're all going to have to make sacrifices.
And there will be casualties.
People will die.
People will be injured.
They'll get the disease and have permanent damage to their organs or, you know, they'll end up in critical condition.
And again, I'm not saying that to minimize that.
Or I don't know if I said that yet.
So it's not again.
But I don't say that to minimize it.
But I simply mean to say that after we've been in quarantine now for about a week and a half or maybe a week.
I think we are realizing that this is our lives now.
This is serious.
It's a nationwide threat.
And I think most people are on board with that.
And now there's a little bit more clear-headedness about thinking about how we're going to deal and cope with this in the long term.
And that's going to be basically the theme of the show tonight.
That's where I'm at.
On Friday I was telling you all that we have to live with this potentially for years to come.
And hopefully that has marinated with you a little bit.
Hopefully we've all been thinking about that.
I think we've all been forced to think about that because we've had to adjust our lives.
But today, and for the rest of the week and onward, we have to think about what are going to be long-term solutions.
What is going to be the balance for how we cope with this in the future?
Because I've seen a lot of takes, and it's a spectrum really.
And it's been like this since the beginning, actually, and I've been talking about this since maybe February, the spectrum of reactions to the virus.
On the one hand, maybe you've got Bill Mitchell who is saying, still, to this day, it's the flu!
Hey Sonny, it's the flu.
It's no big deal.
Everybody get back to work.
Get back to school.
Nothing's happening.
Stock market's crashing.
That's the real threat.
So on the one side of the spectrum, you've got people that are just not taking this seriously.
Have no recognition or understanding of the gravity of what's happening right now.
And then on the other end of the spectrum, you've got people that are saying, we have to shut down the economy completely and indefinitely.
If it takes two years to develop the vaccine or herd immunity, then we're simply just going to have to shut down the economy for two years.
And we're just going to have to nationalize everything and nobody's going to go to work and so on.
And there's really two ends of the spectrum here.
And I don't mean to say that I'm a radical centrist.
The theme of the show tonight and for the rest of this week is thinking about these two ends of the spectrum and thinking about trade-offs.
You're not a centrist to recognize that in any situation, and particularly when we talk about economy, and that is the problem right now is economy.
It's scarcity of bed space in hospitals.
It's scarcity of medical supplies, things like ventilators and respirators and masks and technicians and personnel and testing kits and things of that nature.
We are talking about an economy, an economic shortage.
It's a public health problem.
It's also an economic problem, and these two things are reciprocal.
And the question is, what is the tradeoff going to look like?
The more that we shut down the economy, the greater the economic pain, but perhaps the less damage that we will do to the population, the less people will die, the less people will be without the adequate medical care that they need.
And maybe towards the other end of the spectrum, and this is the question, maybe you open up the economy more, and more people die, but there's less economic pain.
The question, however, with that argument, though, is If more people die, does this also compound the economic effect?
In other words, and that's the question mark that we'll have to see in the coming weeks, is a lot of people believe that it's just as simple as that.
You trade off more casualties perhaps or more burden on hospitals in exchange for better economic performance.
But I think the relationship between those two things is not as simple as you toggle one or the other.
Because the more people that get sick, the more economic damage there will be.
So, there has to be a question about trade-offs and then what are the effects of those trade-offs later on.
That is the conversation I think that has to happen now.
We're in this.
It's a severe problem.
Probably most people, most sensible people, understand the severity of the problem we're in.
Maybe I shouldn't say that.
Maybe that's just the people that I know that are aware of the severity of this.
But I think the government is aware of the severity.
The stock market is clearly aware of the severity of the situation.
And now the question is, now that we're in this and we understand that this is going to be a long-term problem, that there are no good or easy solutions, As I said, herd immunity and vaccination are a long way off.
Those are years into the future.
In the meantime, we have to deal with a very contagious, very deadly virus.
What is going to be a solution that is sustainable in the kind of timeline that we're talking about?
During which we are going to work on developing some kind of immunity to the virus.
That's the question.
So we're gonna dive into all of that.
It should be hopefully insightful.
Should be interesting.
I've had some time to kind of think about it and talk to other people and look at the facts and everything and and get a little bit of a better take.
And you should listen to me because I've been right about this since the beginning.
I had the fair, even-handed, and fundamentally prescient take back in January to say that there's a high likelihood that this could turn into a full-blown global pandemic.
And that was even before a lot of information was available.
So, you have to trust.
I have a lot of credibility coming to the table here.
I've been doing this for a long time, okay kids?
Okay children, I've been at this for a long time.
I've been doing America First probably since before you were alive, and I've been making a lot of correct predictions on this and other things.
So I've got the correct, I've got the right take tonight.
So, it's gonna be good.
And we'll dive into it.
We'll dive into today's developments.
It just feels like the rerun of the same show now.
It's more numbers from BNO breaking news.
It's another news conference from the president.
It's this ongoing saga of the relief package in the Congress and it's back and forth and they're deliberating and it's the stock market just falling through the floor and these are just like the things that we've been monitoring now for three weeks and it's the same show.
But what else can you do?
There's nothing else happening.
Internationally, that's the news too.
India, on lockdown.
Or imminently going towards lockdown.
The United Kingdom, on lockdown.
France, lockdown.
Italy, lockdown.
Okay, so across the country this is happening.
I will say one interesting thing I read, this is just a little factoid here before we pull up the whiteboard and we get into the numbers.
What I saw online, I don't know how true this is, but occasionally you'll see these things posted on 4chan.
You'll see these things posted on 4chan or Paul.
Maybe you know what I'm talking about, maybe you don't.
But there's always the insider post where somebody goes on 4chan, which if you're not familiar is an anonymous message board.
Probably most of my audience knows.
And you'll always have the expert who will drop in to tell you, well, at this solar observatory, I worked there as a scientist and the feds came there and they told us that disclosure was imminent.
I don't know if you remember that, the Sunspot Solar Observatory.
Anybody remember that?
Or the asteroid scare last year.
Guys, I'm a NASA insider.
There's a giant asteroid that's gonna collide with the Earth.
You know, and over the course of three years, you see a lot of these things.
The insider with North Korea.
A nuclear missile just flew over my house, you know.
So I saw one of these takes, which has been going around Twitter lately.
A screenshot of one of these insider LARPs.
Usually you call them a LARP and that's what it is, but a LARP about the coronavirus from back in January.
And one of the insights that they talked about, and it's not the first time I've heard that, I've heard it from other places as well, but it was one of these insider posts, which by the way predicted a lot of things correctly over the past two months, talking about what happens when the virus reaches Brazil.
I'm not an epidemiologist.
I'm not a scientist.
So this is just something I saw.
So take this with a grain of salt.
Maybe this is complete pseudoscience, fake news.
Maybe this is a LARP.
But I saw this, and in the spirit of presenting all the information, I just want to aware you of it.
I've been thinking about it.
They said that if the virus gets to Brazil, that the bats, because Brazil is mostly, you know, this is a lot of rainforest.
It's the Amazon, right?
And it's a lot of fauna and wildlife.
They said that if it gets to Brazil and the bats in Brazil get it or the wildlife in Brazil get it, then the rate at which the virus mutates will accelerate and there's a chance the virus could become more deadly.
And now there are something like 1,600 confirmed cases in Brazil.
Doesn't seem like Bolsonaro is taking it very seriously.
So it's just something to be aware of.
I don't know how true that is.
That doesn't seem very scientific to me because I imagine there's bats everywhere.
there's bats in China There's bats in America.
Are there more in Brazil?
I didn't look into this too much.
I tried to find information, but it seems like the only person talking about it was that LARP and I think a few other people on Twitter, but I don't know if you've heard anything like that.
Maybe some of my scientist friends out there like OpticsRespector is shaking his head saying, that's ridiculous.
According to my calculations, that could never happen, but Point being, there are permutations of this disaster where things could get worse.
My point is the situation is evolving rapidly, and we don't know where this could take us.
They say that there's a much more deadly strain of the virus now, that there was this original strain, there's now two strains, and one is a lot more aggressive.
So the virus could mutate, it could change form, it's going to be with us for a while.
But anyway, with that in mind, we're going to dive into our whiteboard here.
And I've got our latest numbers.
This is not the whiteboard.
This is the stand for the whiteboard.
This is the whiteboard.
I know it's confusing when I indicate that I'm bringing up the whiteboard and I pull up this wooden contraption, but I've got our whiteboard here with all of our latest numbers.
I'll bring down the brightness on my camera slightly so that you can read the words a little bit better.
There we go.
So we've got our latest numbers.
As you can see, over the course of the weekend, the numbers have, like, exploded.
The numbers in the United States, Italy, worldwide, all over Europe.
It's really bad.
Last week, we were at... On Friday, we were at 264,000.
You can check that.
I'm pretty sure that was the number we looked at on Friday.
264,000 worldwide confirmed cases of coronavirus.
Our global total for today is nearly 379,000.
And you have to think about the timetable, and this is what a lot of people have been talking about.
The time it took to get to 100,000 confirmed cases, the time it took to get from 100,000 to 200,000 confirmed cases, the time it took to get from 200,000 to 300,000, and now from 300,000 to 400,000.
to 200,000 confirmed cases, the time it took to get from 200,000 to 300,000, and now from 300,000 to 400,000.
That time period between each benchmark like that, between each, what would you call that, every 100,000 new confirmed cases...
That window is getting smaller and smaller.
It took months to get to 100,000.
It took weeks to get to 200,000.
It took days to get to 300,000.
It will take maybe a couple of days to get to 400,000.
And that gives you an idea of the rate at which this virus is spreading globally.
That gives you an idea of the curve.
And I've been saying this for a long time a lot of baby boomers when this initially came out and it's not just baby boomers old people okay old people in general and maybe normies were looking at the picture globally or in our country and for example in the United States what they said two weeks ago I and I remember I was in Walgreens I was doing my shopping and the cashier behind the counter some 60 year old boomer Said there's only 1,300 cases in the United States.
Do you know how small of a number that is?
If it was 1%, that's 3 million people.
3 million!
There's 1,300 people sick.
Okay.
Well, obviously in the United States it's a little different because of the testing issue, which we've talked about at length over the weeks.
But beyond that, even if it was, let's say two weeks ago it was $1,300.
Well, now it's $45,000.
Well, now it's 45,000.
And I would venture to guess that it was 45,000 two weeks ago.
But we just hadn't confirmed them because we weren't testing people.
The testing wasn't widespread, and it wasn't timely.
So, I would contest, actually, that this number that we're seeing today, this is confirmed cases.
This is not all the cases in the United States.
This is the ones that have been tested and confirmed.
And testing is still not widely available.
It's getting better, and it has been getting better.
You know, last week we looked at, I think it was 22,000 tests in one day.
And in New York, there have been a lot of tests administered.
But the problem is, the testing is highly concentrated in Washington and New York, and basically all the hotspots, the outbreak centers, the epicenters rather, of the outbreak, that's where the testing is happening.
It's rolling out much more slowly in other parts of the country.
So, 45,000 is what we've tested and confirmed right now, but I would bet you that that was maybe the total number of cases weeks ago.
And what we have now is maybe multiples of this.
So, that's on the numbers.
And, you know, while we're talking about testing numbers, if we're talking about numbers of real people that are getting the disease, it's rapidly going up.
It rapidly went up to nearly 400,000 in the span of three days.
120,000 increase in the number of cases since Friday, globally, to give you an idea.
So, in China, we are, well, we've breached the 81,000 mark, but we're still holding strong there, right around, It's almost not even worth it to keep writing this number because it's just a lie.
It feels wrong simply to write it.
Every day that I have to write out this whiteboard and I have to write China's number, it feels like I'm doing something wrong.
Because this doesn't mean anything.
This number, you know, when we write numbers 8, 1, 0, 9, 3, These are symbols that mean something.
You know, nine denotes nine things.
We all know what nine is, how many nine is, but this number does not signify anything.
This could be a series of letters.
It could be a series of symbols.
Something, it could be, you know, a baby writing in a bunch of like curvy lines or shapes.
This does not mean anything.
This does not reflect anything that's happening on the ground or in the hospitals in China.
So, don't even pay attention to that number.
That number is probably in the millions.
Italy is up to 63,927, which is up from 47,000 on Friday, so 16,000 new cases over the weekend.
USA is up to 45,106.
Note the placement.
China is number one, of course.
Italy has been number two.
The United States is now number three.
They were number six on Friday.
We were at number six in the world for total infections confirmed.
We're now number three.
And I predicted that by the way.
I predicted that by this week we'd be there.
And I'm sure that by the end of this week we will at least be past Italy and possibly we will have more cases than China.
And that's something to think about.
I mean, I know the number in China doesn't mean anything, but the United States and China will collectively be the two biggest epicenters of the virus.
Think of how quickly that happened and, you know, meditate a little bit on that.
I guess it's not totally fair because if you're comparing the United States to Italy, the United States has a bigger population and is bigger geographically.
It would probably be more fair to compare the United States to Europe as a whole.
In which case Europe would be by far and away have more infections I think probably in gross terms and in terms of proportion than the United States but we don't we don't judge it by continent we're looking at by country.
So we're at 45,000 in the U.S., we're at 33,089 in Spain, 29,056 in Germany, 23,049 in Iran, 19,856 in France, and 8,961 in South Korea.
South Korea stayed at the bottom of this list.
They haven't gone, you know, they haven't gone five digits yet.
In terms of the confirmed cases, all these European countries have skyrocketed past and now you can see that this whole list you've got all these numbers in the five-digit category.
France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Europe has really been taken over by the virus.
All these other countries are reporting serious numbers.
Switzerland up to nearly 9,000.
Switzerland's a small country.
The UK nearly 7,000.
Netherlands 5,000.
Austria 4,000.
Belgium 4,000.
These guys in the 2,500-2,000 range.
Portugal entering the list for the first time.
These guys in the 2,500, 2,000 range.
Portugal entering the list for the first time.
So that is an overview of the worst countries, some of the worst-off countries.
But I'd encourage you to look up the BNO Breaking News number of confirmed cases online, and it'll show you every country.
And in every country, it's bad now.
And I've been tracking this for as long as it's been going on.
And initially, it was like 1,000 cases in China.
I remember was a big deal.
And you maybe had like a dozen cases around the world outside of China.
Do you remember this?
This was two weeks ago, or not two weeks ago, two months ago.
This is what the picture looked like.
If you were watching the BNO news tracker of the coronavirus cases, you had hundreds and then thousands of cases in China and then tens of thousands of cases.
And it took a long time to breach a hundred cases outside of China, a thousand cases outside of China.
And now there's dozens of countries that are in the thousands.
There's dozens of countries that are in the hundreds.
It's on every continent.
It's it's in almost every major country and Almost every major country is shutting down because of this.
So this is truly a global pandemic.
And people compare this to Ebola.
People compare this to MERS, SARS, H1N1.
There's nothing has been like this in contemporary times.
Nothing like this in any of our lifetimes for the most part.
Maybe for a hundred years old and you remember the Spanish flu when you were a baby, maybe that was comparable.
But I don't believe there's been anything comparable to this.
A global pandemic, truly global in scale and severe like this.
I don't think it's happened in modern or other contemporary times.
So, These are the numbers we're working with.
That's your update.
Hope everybody's staying safe.
You keep these numbers down by washing your hands.
Maintain social distancing.
All of this.
You know, and it's not a joke.
I see so many people that don't take it seriously.
They're still shaking hands.
They're still... I drive around town and kids are playing in the park.
unidentified
Where are your parents?
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼
Where are the police?
Where are the police?
You know, when I see this kind of stuff happening, people are partying, hanging out.
What are you doing?
We'll dive into the latest news here, the news conference in particular, and I'll read you a little report here from the New York Times, kind of summarizing where the president's at.
The main takeaway, and I didn't watch the whole press conference, but I watched some of the highlights, and I watched a little bit of it in the beginning, and the tone seemed to be very different today than it has been recently.
In recent weeks, the tone, I thought, has matched the severity of the crisis.
The tone was that we're doing everything in our power to stop the spread of the virus.
We're doing everything in our power to flatten the curve, right?
And now there are a lot of weird new developments where now the president is saying that we need to get back to work as soon as possible.
And we're hearing this line about how the cure could be worse than the disease.
In other words, that shutting down the economy and attempting to stop the spread of the virus could be worse than the virus itself.
We're hearing talks about these dubious cures like hydroxychloroquine and a few other things, which I don't know.
I've seen some sketchy evidence that this works.
That doctor went on Tucker Carlson last week and was talking about how the chloroquine has a 100% effectiveness, or is 100% of cases where it's administered to people that have coronavirus, it treated them completely.
I find that very hard to believe, right?
So that's being promoted.
So it seems like a weird turn with this news conference, whereas last week it was, we're doing everything in our power, extraordinary measures, we're in the second inning, we've got a lot to go, it's gonna be a big bailout to this week, and you know, just the China virus, and there's gonna be consequences, and we're shutting down the border.
And this week, it's not the China virus, it's the silent killer, right?
Or it's the invisible enemy, and now it's, we need to get back to work as soon as possible, and we've got a treatment, and... Kind of a weird turn.
Very weird turn.
But I'll read you this report here from the New York Times, which will give us some quotes and some other things.
It says, quote, President Trump at his near daily coronavirus briefing hinted on Monday that the economic shutdown meant to halt the spread of the virus across the country would not be extended.
He said, quote, our country was not built to be shut down.
America will again and soon be open for business.
The President added without providing a timeline for when he believes normal economic activity could resume.
He said, if it were up to the doctors, they'd say, let's shut down the entire world.
This could create a much bigger problem than the problem that you started out with.
He added, I'm not looking at months.
I can tell you that right now.
In other words, not looking at months for the shelter in place, the quarantine, social distancing measures.
Mr. Trump sent mixed signals from the White House podium, agreeing at one point with the Surgeon General and saying it's going to be bad, then suggesting that the response to the virus may have been overblown.
He compared deaths from the novel coronavirus so far to deaths from other causes, influenza and car accidents, suggesting that the scale of those preventable deaths meant economic restrictions may not be appropriate to prevent the spread of the virus.
He said, quote, we have a very active flu season, more active than most.
It's looking like it's heading towards 50,000 or more deaths.
Not cases, 50,000 deaths.
Which is, that's a lot.
And you look at automobile accidents, which are far greater than any numbers we're talking about, that doesn't mean we're going to tell everybody no more driving of cars.
So we have to do things to get our country open.
So this was the tone of the press conference and this is what he's been saying.
The two biggest shifts in tone to me are on China and on the virus.
He did not call it the China virus today.
Everybody was calling it the China virus over the weekend.
Everybody that spoke in the news conference over the past few days.
Now nobody's calling it that.
And the president started the news conference talking about these attacks on Asian, Asian Americans, Chinese people as a result of calling it the China virus.
He said at one point today during the news conference, we don't know where the virus came from.
And that has been a huge disappointment, by the way.
We know where the virus came from.
The virus came from China.
It came from China.
And it is only as bad as it is because China was negligent in responding to the virus in their country and warning everybody else about it.
They were aware of this virus for months.
Some say even in 2019 the virus was on their radar.
In December, maybe even before that, it was on their radar in China.
And they knew how bad it was.
They knew how contagious it was.
They knew how deadly it was.
And they suppressed their numbers.
They're still suppressing their numbers.
They didn't warn anybody.
They didn't keep their people in China.
They did a lot of bad things that have led to a situation that is as bad as it is right now.
So we know where it came from.
And maybe they're not totally responsible for a pandemic.
You know, these diseases develop.
And you could blame them for their cultural practices, but I mean this kind of goes with the territory.
But you could certainly assign blame to them for not warning us, giving us heads up, and then even better than that, turning the blame around on us.
And as it infects the whole world, they're gonna propagate the lie that the United States military created the virus or spread it to China or something like that.
So as far as we look at that, I think we have to assign some responsibility, some culpability.
There has to be consequences.
There has to be retaliation.
And more important even than defending the truth, which is that it originated there, they were negligent, and they're lying, beyond the mere importance of telling the truth on this matter, It is important to scapegoat China to a degree and by the way this scapegoat word has gotten a negative connotation.
Things happen in the world and there are people responsible for things that happen in the world.
So scapegoating somebody I guess maybe the definition of that is like You're wrongly blaming somebody but we do need to necessarily blame China for this and we need to necessarily blame China for this not simply because they are to blame but also because this will serve as a pretext to To wean us off of our reliance on China.
This is a huge political opportunity, and I've been saying this for a long time, not just for our objectives, but our objectives as a country, our well-being as a country, which is to break our reliance on China economically, in terms of strategic goods.
You know, you got to think about trade like this.
On the first level, the first argument The bare minimum, easiest, and most common sense argument against free trade, and specifically against outsourcing is strategic goods.
Before you can even have the conversation about what's good for the economy, what's good for the GDP, what is efficient, you have to think about trade from a geopolitical dimension, a geopolitical perspective.
In other words, before we think about whether or not it's economically better for the American people, To have China manufacture certain things or have us manufacture those things, we first have to think about war and defending our country.
We cannot, for example, outsource or offshore the production of military goods to a country which is potentially our adversary.
China is rising as the second biggest economy in the world, the second biggest military in the world, number one in population.
If there's any rival in the global world order, it's China.
It does not make any sense, then, for China to produce things like airplanes, or tanks, or guns, or other... And this is just for the sake of example.
Strategic goods like that.
So that's the easiest argument against free trade, that America has to produce things that America needs to defend itself.
Well then you go a step above that.
China is now producing a lot of our pharmaceuticals and our masks and respirators and medical equipment.
What about a situation like this?
The extent to which America must produce things that it relies on goes beyond military.
It goes towards disaster preparedness.
Things like medical supplies.
Things that our people need.
And then you could extrapolate it to all kinds of things.
We should not have our adversary producing things that are essential.
And that is strategic things like military, that's disaster preparedness, that's medical, that's even just plain essentials like food and other home essentials.
You know, if you're looking at clothes or furniture, all kinds of things.
And then you even get to future industries like artificial intelligence.
Computing, software, all these things should be kept in-house.
And if you are going to export them, export the things that are non-essential, export things that you could live without, and don't export things that could give a strategic advantage to our adversaries.
That's like common sense.
And so the first, and these are the two big things that have changed in this press conference, is it's this, and we'll get to the second part, which is the cure is worse than the disease, but in the first place, it's this idea that we don't know where the virus came from, we're not going to talk about China because of these attacks on Asian Americans.
You know, look, Might there be more animosity towards Asian people because of this virus?
Potentially.
And that's not good.
That's not a good thing.
I don't like to see that.
I don't like to see people attacked for things that are not their fault.
When we're assigning blame, we also have to assign blame precisely.
Do we lay this at the feet of every Chinese person that walks the earth?
Or do we lay this at the feet of the Chinese Communist Party, or the government in Beijing, which did not warn the other governments in the world?
Right?
So, I don't think that's a good thing.
But, we cannot conduct our domestic policy.
The President has to think about the greater good of the nation before we think about unforeseen, unintended consequences, which, it's questionable if they're even under our control in the first place.
If we were at war with China, for example, would we not say that China is our enemy, lest Chinese people get attacked in the streets?
Of course not.
We would have to fight our enemy.
We would have to gin up support against our enemy.
You know, for example, in the war in Iraq, and, you know, I don't like the war in Iraq, but let's say that that was a necessary war, hypothetically.
Are we going to say that we're not going to fight terrorists?
Well, maybe a better example would be Al-Qaeda or ISIS.
Are we going to soften our rhetoric about ISIS and Al-Qaeda because of Islamophobia?
Of course not.
We have to fight the enemy.
And the same goes for this.
We have a real problem with China.
And this is a manifestation and a consequence of our over-reliance on China.
Not just the virus itself but the economic consequences and also things that aren't even pertinent to this.
You know just in general our relationship with China for decades has benefited them at our expense and our long-term strategic posture.
So this whatever this pivot is to say that we don't know where the virus is and we're not going to talk about China and our new concern is What?
Attacks on Asian Americans?
I mean, I'm sympathetic, but we're trying to run a country here.
It's ridiculous.
Now is the time.
You will never get another opportunity to stop China.
We're already way too far.
This conversation should have happened 30 years ago, or 25, or 20 years ago, when the WTO was created, when all this wealth started to pour into China.
The time to put the brakes on China was 30 years ago.
It's 30 years too late.
Now is better than in 30 years from now when they will have surpassed us if they haven't already in computing, AI, all these other things.
So I don't get the pivot.
That's not what we need right now.
What we need is the opposite.
We need to keep hammering at home on China.
They're vulnerable.
Everyone's vulnerable.
We have strength simply because we have the most robust economy.
It may not seem like that, but we've got the capital.
We've got the currency.
We've got the military, the population, the wealth to endure something like this.
Other countries do not.
That's why their currency is weakening against ours.
So now's the time in a global pandemic when you've got this mass political capital and this pretext to start to break, and it'll be a painful break, but to start the break on the over-reliance on China.
That that's not being taken advantage of fully would be a big mistake.
So I don't like that.
And then the second big pivot in the press conference was this cure is worse than the disease.
That the economic containment, the quarantine was overblown, and that's what he's getting at.
When he says that it's not going to go on for months and we'll reevaluate in 15 days and we don't stop people from driving cars.
And I want to give you kind of a balanced take.
I will say there is some truth in this to an extent.
The idea that a certain amount of deaths are going to happen and in any decision that we make as people or as a country You're going to have risk.
You get in a car and drive to work and you're putting yourself at risk of dying in a car accident.
Does that mean that we... and then, you know, there is some truth in this.
Do we stop everybody from driving?
Do we tell everybody not to leave their homes?
Did we live in self-quarantine because the flu might kill you?
There's a 0.2% chance you could die from complications from the flu or Do not go swimming because of brain-eating bacteria that affects 0.001% of the population, right?
That's true to an extent.
That there's trade-offs, and there's a reasonable amount of prevention, and then the rest we have to resign ourselves to.
The world we live in is life and death.
You're alive, and sometimes you die, and it's unlikely you die in some ways, but some people have to die in those ways.
That's just the way it goes.
So I get that, and that is true to an extent.
We're looking in the long term, and as I said on Friday, there's no end in sight to the spread of this virus.
Herd immunity is two years away.
The minimum for a vaccine, 12 months.
So at the minimum, it's 12 months away for a vaccine, 12 to 18 months, and there's no guarantee.
Never before has a virus been completely eradicated or a vaccine.
I don't think that's ever happened.
And then the herd immunity, which is our next best attempt to stop the spread of the virus in some permanent fashion, is to just build up a natural immunity, and that takes years.
And lots of people have to get sick for that to happen.
That's just the reality we have to live.
We have to resign ourselves to the fact that we are going to be dealing With on and off outbreaks and mass outbreaks of novel coronavirus for years and many people will get sick and there's a high death rate something like 2% and we have to come up with a sustainable solution for this.
We cannot shut down the economy for as long as novel coronavirus is going to be a threat to people.
Because that could be 12 months, 18 months, 24 months.
It could be longer than that.
And you can't completely shut down the economy.
The economy cannot afford for people not to go to work for two years.
And that doesn't mean the stock market, by the way.
A lot of people I see on Twitter are saying, if you believe that it's unrealistic to shut down the economy indefinitely, then you're a consumer.
And you want Green Line to go up?
You care about the stock market and funny money and all this?
Well, not necessarily.
We're talking about the economy.
We're not simply talking about the stock market or some of the, you know, GDP, some of these metrics.
We're talking about production.
We're talking about production of essentials.
So, you know, for example, if people are not getting paid to make things and to grow food, then things will not be made and food will not be grown.
And the wealth that we've built up as the country will be consumed and we'll have nothing.
And that would be catastrophic in a different way.
I mean, you'll have a catastrophe with the virus.
I'm not downplaying that.
But an economic catastrophe would be a catastrophe.
And that's what happens.
The government cannot afford to just, you know, we print money, the society collapses at a certain point.
There is an end point to how much money we can spend and how much can happen.
Shutting down the economy on this level indefinitely for years Just isn't in the cards.
That's not a realistic solution.
So the reason I'm saying this is to kind of get it out of the way.
To an extent, there is some truth in that argument that the cure can be worse than the disease.
I will agree with that in a very, very general way that there's a tradeoff.
And to an extent we have to return to some level of normalcy.
That doesn't mean that we're not gonna, we're not gonna try and stop the spread or flatten the curve, you know, whatever these phrases you're hearing.
That doesn't mean we're not gonna take precautions, but what's happening right now?
No school.
No work.
No restaurants, right?
I mean, this is not sustainable.
And it's not not sustainable for just corporations and rich people and billionaires.
It's also not sustainable for working people.
It's also not sustainable for small business owners, who a lot of small business owners are not rich.
Probably most small business owners are not Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos.
A lot of them are, you know, struggling or paycheck to paycheck or whatever, just like anybody else.
You know, and we need businesses too.
Businesses employ people.
I don't think you're a capitalist shill or a consumer or a stock market person to understand, you know, how we get goods and services, how we feed ourselves.
You know, to prevent a complete breakdown of society.
All of that being said, Barron, so all of that being said, I think that's fair enough to say in a very general way that complete shutdown, indefinitely, not sustainable.
I don't think anybody would argue with that.
I'm not saying anything more than a complete and total shutdown, nobody leaves the house, lockdown for years, indefinitely, not sustainable.
That being said, we are seven days.
We are seven days into this.
As far as a national emergency reaction goes, we're seven days in.
The president put out new guidelines.
It was 15 days to stop the spread.
That was last week.
That was seven days ago that those guidelines went into effect.
The guidelines that said schools should be closed and social distancing and Not essential work.
You know, people should try to work from home.
That was 7 days ago.
15 days to stop the spread.
That was like basic guidelines for a pandemic.
Your most basic, bare minimum for 15 days and it took all of 7 days for the President to abandon that completely and say, oh no, we have to call it off.
Call it off.
Everybody go back to normal.
This is too much.
So, while everything I just said was true, we need to remain in quarantine for the foreseeable future.
I'm not saying to end the quarantine anytime soon, I'm saying that's not sustainable for years.
Is it sustainable for weeks and potentially months?
Maybe, maybe not, but that is what is required right now.
You know, we haven't even made it two weeks before people are saying everything has to stop and the cure is worse than the virus.
Seriously?
It's been seven days.
It's been less than that since states have done shelter-in-place.
Illinois was in shelter-in-place on Saturday.
New York was shelter-in-place on Friday.
California was shelter-in-place on Thursday.
So as far as shelter-in-place goes, it's been three, four, five days that states have been sheltering in place before the President of the United States gets in front of the podium and says, It's too much!
The cure is worse than the virus!
Seriously?
We can't make it a full week in shelter-in-place?
We can't make it a full two weeks with basic guidelines?
That is just a lack of discipline.
That is just a lack of political discipline.
And don't try to pretend that it's anything else.
I agree.
Maybe it's unsustainable to shut down the economy for five years.
It's unsustainable to shut down the economy for two years, or maybe a year, or maybe six months.
We're talking about two weeks for now, and then re-evaluating at the end of it.
And I think there's going to be a case to be made to extend it for another two weeks, and maybe two weeks after that.
We can't make it one week.
And that, to me, is just a joke.
So you could make the argument that it's not sustainable indefinitely, but it's not indefinitely now, it's been seven days.
And they're talking about two weeks, and maybe a two-week extension after that, or a four-week extension.
And if you can't make it that far, I'm sorry, that's not prudence, that's not prescient, that's not even correct.
That is just stupid, and it's undisciplined, and wrong.
The idea that our economy could not handle a few weeks of things being shut down will cause a recession, certainly.
We're already in a recession, by the way.
A recession was due anyway.
This simply catalyzed the recession, and it sustained economic damage.
I don't mean to downplay the virus, but it did catalyze a recession that was in the works.
So we're going to have a recession, and it's going to be bad.
They're predicting 25% unemployment.
50% cut in GDP is catastrophic.
It is a highly contagious and deadly virus.
I mean, that is catastrophic.
That's like nightmare levels.
But you have to think about the nature of the crisis we're talking about.
It is a highly contagious and a deadly virus.
If you let the virus rip through quickly and people are not trained to do the social distancing and they're not staying at home...
The economic effect is going to be worse if millions of people die.
I mean, that's just obvious.
It's just obvious that, you know, it's not as simple as go back to work, go back to school and pretend this is over.
What will the economy look like if millions of people die and people are afraid?
By the way, people are not just going to jump back on planes once all this ends.
People are not going to want to get infected.
They might have to anyway, and then you're putting people at risk of dying or getting seriously ill.
So we are in a crisis right now, and we have to hunker down.
It's almost like a hurricane.
If you're in a hurricane, if you're in a horrible storm, you wouldn't look at your watch and say, okay, well, we've been in the basement now for three hours.
I'm getting restless.
We have to live our lives.
People die in traffic a lot, so it's time for me to leave the basement.
It's time for me, or I don't know, that's a tornado, I guess.
It's time for me to leave my shelter and go out into the streets, because I'm hungry, and I want a Big Mac right now.
You know, you get killed by a huge wave, right?
You walk outside, water up to your neck, you get electrocuted by, you know, electric current.
Some electrical line is down, right?
Obviously.
That's a catastrophe.
The difference with this one is, as Trump himself says, it is the invisible enemy.
Simply because it is invisible does not mean it is not a catastrophe, does not mean it is not a disaster, does not mean that you have to take serious precautions.
And the precautions may be harmful, but think about the reasons for why you're taking the precautions.
You take the precautions so that millions and millions of people don't die.
It's no different than a hurricane.
The only difference is because it's invisible, right, the invisible enemy, and because of the scale and the, right, because of how widespread it is, I don't think people think about it in the same way.
Of course, if a giant tornado is over your house, you wouldn't say, well, it's been a few hours.
I'm over this.
We've got to live our lives.
Let's go outside and, you know, get sucked up in a tornado and die.
You wouldn't do that, but the same is with this virus.
You don't say, well, it's been a week of pandemic.
I'm getting restless and the economy's, you know, we can't do this forever.
We got to live our lives.
Let's go outside.
2% of your population dies from the coronavirus.
I don't think that is what we want.
So, I saw that pivot today in the press conferences.
Cure is worse than the virus, and that is true up to a point.
But we're not even close to that point yet.
We are nowhere near there.
And you could talk about a return to normalcy, and it's going to be a hard, you know, month or two.
Well, if we maintain discipline and we keep everything shut down, it's going to be tough, and it's going to be a bloodbath for the economy.
It's going to be horrible.
It's going to be bad.
But we don't have a choice right now.
What's the alternative?
Shut everything down.
The worst of it subsides or begins to stabilize.
That's all we're talking about is stabilization.
And to give you an idea, there were 10,000 new cases in 24 hours, I think, in the United States, right?
It was 35,000 on Friday and it is 45,000 today.
Okay, so 10,000 cases.
Since Friday, over the weekend.
10,000 new cases.
Testing isn't nearly widespread enough, and they're saying, okay, it's too much, time to go back.
It will be time to have that conversation when the amount of new cases per day stabilizes.
That'll be the time.
When testing is widespread, millions of people have been tested, and once we get a low number of people reporting new cases every day, and things have stabilized, that is the time that we can talk about bringing people back.
And there are ways that you can go back.
In China what they're doing is workers will show up to the factory.
They get their temperature taken before they go in.
They get their temperature taken before they leave.
They work with gloves and masks and all that.
The factory owners and the people there, they report the numbers to the government.
And that is one way that you could do things like that.
That is one way.
That is what it might look like once things stabilize and there might be some kind of quasi return to normalcy that we might be looking at.
That is a sustainable and long-term solution that we maintain the guidelines, maintain social distancing, masks, gloves, temperature, all that, but people go back to work and school.
But you only have that conversation When the numbers begin to stabilize.
Like South Korea.
Their numbers have been between 7,000 and 9,000 now for a few weeks.
If we get to that point, it might be reasonable to say as long as people are taking the precautions, they can return to work.
We're not there yet.
We have not hit the worst of this curve yet.
Once those things taper off and stabilize, we'll be there.
And the number of new cases will level and then hopefully decline.
And that's when we can say, alright, time to get back to work.
But in the meantime, we should not be having that conversation.
What I want to hear from the President is more bailout.
I want to hear him pressuring the Democrats.
I want to hear about cash payments to citizens.
I want to hear about bailouts to industries.
Excuse me, not to banks, but to industries.
I want to hear about how this is from China and we're weaning off of China.
We're building factories here.
And I don't want to hear anything else in the meantime.
That's what we should be hearing.
What we heard today is that the rescue package is stalling in the Senate.
Big rescue package which we've been talking about.
1.8 trillion dollars from the Republicans.
And that's got inside of it The bailout for people, they have changed it now.
It's $1,200 for every adult that earns less than $75,000.
They eliminated the lower bound for the money.
Originally it was you had to make $24,000 to get the full $1,200 and make less than $75,000.
the full $1,200 and make less than $75,000.
So more than $24,000, less than $75,000 per year that you made in 2018 to get the full $1,200 check.
If he made less, you'd get less.
If he made more, you'd get less.
And $500 per child.
Now it's just everybody less than $75,000.
We had $1200, $500 per child.
There's all kinds of other stuff in there which we've been talking about.
Democrats blocked that.
They're proposing their own terrible bill now.
The Democrats shut down the Republican stimulus, the Republican relief bill, and they offered their own.
And inside the Democrat bill, you have same-day voter registration in there, you've got expanding collective bargaining for unions, offset airline emissions by 2025, $15 minimum wage, extend non-immigrant work visas, no ID required for a mail-in ballot for voting, and tax credits for wind and solar.
This is what's happening in the Congress, and our president is talking about the cure is worse than the disease.
I don't think so.
You know, I'll tell you what's not worse than the disease?
A direct cash payment to every American.
That would not be worse than the disease.
That would be a cure for now, to give every American $3,000.
They're talking about $1,200.
That wouldn't be a cure that would hurt us.
That would keep us afloat for a little while, and it would be tough.
We'd have to pay for it later, but that would get us through this right now.
We can't even get $1,200 without the Democrats shutting it down.
And China has borne no consequence.
There's not even any talk anymore about reshoring or anything like that.
So this press conference, as far as I'm concerned, is a terrible, terrible new direction from the White House, in my opinion.
I think that, to an extent, it's reasonable to say that what's happening is...
You know cannot be sustainable indefinitely I think to a point that's true But you know now is not the time and you could say that he's saying that right now Just to sort of acknowledge what a lot of people are feeling I'm sure a lot of people are thinking this is crazy Because our population is weak, and they can't handle these kinds of things They just can't can't handle hardship can't handle being told you know no restaurants.
No Coachella, whatever Uh, so maybe Trump is saying that as a bit of a release valve to tell people to calm down, maybe calm down the markets, calm down people, but I don't want to see an end to this anytime soon.
There should be this lockdown for a little while longer, and then, you know, maybe over the summer, maybe, you know, June...
At the earliest you start to talk about opening things back up, or maybe earlier than that, but depending on how things go.
But we should just be taking it day by day and until the numbers stabilize, it should be on lockdown.
And what he should be concerned more about is the money.
No talk about the cash payments today.
I wonder why.
If the economy is doing so poorly, let's do cash payments.
Browbeat the Democrats, browbeat the Republicans, get your relief package.
And if that doesn't work, just cut their taxes.
Just go to the IRS then.
If you can't get the House of Representatives to greenlight funds, checks to be sent out, then just tell the IRS to cut the other end and say, we're going to cancel this much in tax money, something like that.
But this was the wrong conversation to have.
The conversation should not have been about You know we don't know where it came from and this is going on too long and the cure is worse than the virus.
If this is where we're headed and I don't know this is one news conference there's been a lot of them maybe get a different message just to you know save your ass a little bit with these these Chinese attacks which is going to be a bad news cycle and maybe you offer a little bit of a release valve for the markets and for people that are getting stir crazy but we got to stay the course here.
I hope tomorrow we go back to where we were last week.
But those are the developments from today.
That's our numbers.
That's our news conference.
We're gonna dive into the Super Chats and we'll see what you guys are saying about all this.
What are you feeling?
What is your take?
But we should take money.
That cure would be much better.
I want my cure.
I want my Trump bucks.
You know what's gonna cure my coronavirus?
unidentified
$4,500.
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼
$5,000 from the government.
$5,000 from the government.
That's what I would take.
And instead people are just getting laid off.
Okay, put money in people's hands.
Don't bail out the banks.
Don't even do loans.
Just give money to industry.
Just give money to people.
That's what is required right now.
And then we can sustain a lot of this economic damage for a little bit of time while this happens.
And then we have to make stuff.
We have to make stuff, by the way.
We have to make masks and respirators.
Everybody's got to have one.
Everybody's got to have a thermometer and all this stuff.
But we don't have a grit, man.
A long-term solution eludes the government.
They've got to get serious.
They've got to tell us the plan.
And we've got to figure out what it's going to look like over the next six months to a year.
Because this is not, you know, just telling people everything's shut down until I say so.
That's not going to work.
But let's take a look at the Super Chats.
We'll see.
We'll see what we've got here.
Uh, Scorch Titan says, Romney's in isolation?
Gee, that's too bad.
Yeah, that was funny when Trump said that.
Uh, Lolcat says, Chinese spitting on fruit?
What's their endgame?
unidentified
I don't know.

I didn't see a lot of that.
Uh, Melon Buster says, 21st birthday today?
Please accept this tithe.
Ah, well thank you very much.
Happy birthday.
Sucks to have a birthday during a quarantine, but hope it's a good one anyway.
Thanks for the diamond.
Fort Worth Groper says, Hi Nick, here's some of my birthday cash.
Oh, a dollar?
A whole dollar?
Some of my bir- maybe one, one birthday cash.
One birthday dollar.
Here is some of my birthday cash.
Well, I appreciate- I appreciate it.
Thank you.
Thank you for the diamond.
Happy birthday.
Hope it was a good one.
Well, thank you.
I appreciate it.
I'm kidding, but thank you.
I don't think so.
I hope it does, but I don't think there's any guarantee.
He says, will CV push cons from neoliberalism long term?
I don't think so.
I hope it does, but I don't think there's any guarantee.
People are really, people do not think these things through.
Coronavirus will not change the incentives of politicians.
And so politicians will not change on this.
Politicians still get money from the same donors that's why they're neoliberals so that that will not change.
The incentives will not be affected by coronavirus and people would have to think about this thoroughly to change their worldview and I don't think people do that so I doubt it.
Giants, we have an opportunity to do that but Trump has to lead it and he has to be forceful and repetitive and consistent.
So we'll see.
Giants says, Carissa Avalon was talking about you on Instagram Live today.
I'll have to watch that.
Maybe I'll watch that on stream tomorrow or something.
Can you get Instagram Live on desktop?
I don't think you can, but we'll see.
Carissa Avalon, yeah.
I don't want to say anything about Carissa Avalon.
I mean, that is his girlfriend.
Or is that his wife now?
I think they're engaged.
Let's just say it's all very fitting, right?
Hunter Avalon knocks up this girl, okay?
Who's not his wife, by the way.
Hunter Avalon knocks up this girl.
And then they break up.
That's even better.
He knocks up this girl.
She gets pregnant.
They have a baby.
Out of wedlock.
Total accident.
You know, great job, Hunter.
And then they break up.
They're no longer boyfriend and girlfriend.
He knocks her up again!
The baby's born, they're split, and Hunter says, I'm still gonna take care of my daughter even though, you know, the parents are separated, even though me and the daughter's mom are separated, we're still gonna raise this baby together even though we're not seeing each other.
Okay, so that was maybe, I think, like last year, a year and a half ago.
This is the timeline.
You know, knocks up this girl out of wedlock.
They have the baby.
Hunter says, well, we're broken up, but we'll still raise the baby together anyway.
Knocks her up again!
unidentified
Again!
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼
A second time!
unidentified
They're broke!
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼
What happened to them?
I thought they were broken up!
They're broken up, somehow another baby is made.
Gee, I wonder what that was all about, right?
Maybe a little of the drink, maybe a text.
Hey, miss you, come over.
Knocked up, part two.
And then Hunter says, we're getting engaged!
Wow, finally did the right thing.
And I will say, the name, Carissa, it's just all very fitting to me.
It's all very fitting.
Hunter and Carissa Avalon, what a tale.
And the names speak for themselves.
What kind of name is Carissa?
What kind of name?
Carissa.
They're the real Wignats, if you know what I mean by that.
Real Wignat energy from that.
Carissa and Hunter and their shotgun marriage and the two Ottawa-like children.
Can you imagine a bigger clown than Hunter Avalon?
Personal life and political views.
There's nothing about this person which is serious or admirable, respectable in any capacity.
The guy's a joke.
So yeah, they can talk about me all they want, but their lives speak for themselves.
I'm just telling you... I'm not even saying anything!
I'm just telling you a little story about their lives, and it speaks for itself.
Alan says, did you shit talk me in your last stream?
unidentified
No.

Racist incel says broke gatekeepers woke skeleton keys He soft-blocked me over that I checked Somebody linked one of his tweets in a group chat And I saw he soft-blocked me little Jesus soft-blocked me just because we were enjoying his awesome song Yeah, no gatekeeper, because I've got skeleton keys, right?
Racist incel says, relax, total irony, just a gentle ribbing.
Yeah.
Wiffle says, your boys Dave and Sean been going at it on the timeline.
Yeah, I've seen that.
unidentified
Drama on the timeline, what else is new?
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼
Racist incel says, Prince Hubris, utter fool or misunderstood genius?
Neither.
I think, you know, Sean is... You know, he's a little temperamental, but you know, he's a nice guy.
I think he's a good dude.
He's a friendly guy.
I've met him in person and he's just a chill.
Well, he's a lot more chill in person than he is online.
Maybe I didn't spend enough time with him in person, but in person he was very laid-back, friendly, nice guy.
And online he's nice too, but he has a tendency to go off a little bit, fly off the handle.
Little bit temperamental, little bit emotional.
But I think generally he's a good dude and smart.
I don't know if he's a misunderstood genius.
I think he's just a smart guy.
Smart guy.
He pays attention.
He watches what's going on.
Common sense sort of a guy.
I think he's somewhere in the middle, maybe.
Bobby says, I did some research.
I don't think he's a fool, though.
Bobby says, I did some research.
The third world has cleaner butts, but dirtier left hands.
Okay, that's gross, but thanks for the Ninjagini.
Spurts says, my first Ninjagini with the car.
You can go anywhere you want.
Well, thank you for the Ninjagini.
That is true.
Can go anywhere you want.
Maxi Bros says, here's a little help to get you to number two in Total Lemons tonight.
Well, thank you.
Yeah, and If you go to SocialBlade and you go to DLive, top 50 highest earning, I'm now the number 2 highest earning streamer on this entire website, except for PewDiePie.
And I'm in striking distance of PewDiePie, I think.
If things keep going the way they are, I will surpass PewDiePie in total earnings by next month.
For your viewing pleasure, I'll put this in the live chat.
So help me get over the edge!
Help me make more money than PewDiePie!
No, but I appreciate that.
I am trying to do that.
Maybe they'll have to acknowledge me if I'm number one.
DLive just doesn't acknowledge me.
I send them message after message.
What's my global partnership application status?
Can I talk to the, you know, director of growth?
Because I need to talk about my future on this website.
You know, I ask them inquiry after inquiry, and I can't get a timely response.
And when I do get a response, I get jerked around.
I DM these people on DLive, and I say, can you not permanently X-Tag my channel?
I'm like the biggest streamer on here.
Oh, I am the biggest streamer on here.
PewDiePie hasn't done a stream since January 3rd, four months ago nearly.
I'm the biggest streamer on here by far.
I get the most viewers.
I brought 28,000 people to this website.
I bring more money in than anybody else.
And I can't get a timely response.
I get X-tagged.
They X-tag my content.
They don't even tell me.
They just say, oh, you're permanently X-tagged and you have no options.
Seriously?
Like I'm an idiot?
Like I'm some retard?
And then even better than that, I reach out to them and I say, you know, what's my global partner status?
They give global partner to people that get 10 viewers, and they make no money.
And then, you know, whatever, that's fine, but really?
And I can't even get a response?
And I blow them up, hey, any updates?
They don't respond.
And then I really send them a nasty message, and the guy gets back to me and says, sorry, I haven't heard back from the partnership team.
Haven't heard back?
You can't expedite that a little bit?
I'm about to surpass PewDiePie in donations.
You can't expedite my application?
I can't talk to anybody besides the low-level community guy, whatever?
unidentified
So.

I went off about that on stream on Saturday.
It's very frustrating.
But we're working on a solution.
If they're not going to be nice, then we'll work on something else.
Because I'm tired of playing games.
I'm tired of playing games with YouTube and Twitch.
And I told you I'm working on something.
And the ambitions for that project have really gone up.
Let me just put it that way.
So, you know, after I got kicked off YouTube, I told you I'm working on a project, and I put off the deadline indefinitely.
That's because it's becoming much more ambitious.
And take that for what you will, but... Because I'm just really tired of playing the games.
And I'm tired of getting, you know, treated like shit by all these streaming websites.
They should be nice to me.
They should be coming to me.
And they should be saying, how can we make your job easier?
What can we do to help you?
You're a streaming website.
You should want more big streamers.
You should want streamers that make money and bring views.
And I get treated like dog shit.
I have to shake them down for an answer that isn't even satisfactory.
It's ridiculous.
So, maybe if we get that number, if I get up to number one, if I get more donations than PewDiePie, who's got a hundred million subs on YouTube and was their big partner, that was their big break, you know, maybe then I could get an answer on Discord.
For crying out loud.
I don't mean to go off.
Maybe a lot of you guys don't care about that.
That's my problem, but it's just such a such a headache.
So anyway, it's frustrating is what it is, but thanks for the Nijigini.
Maxi Bro says, nevermind looks like we actually got to number two yesterday.
Yeah.
Yeah, it looks like I'm number two there.
I'm gonna clinch it, gonna clinch it, gonna achieve victory.
We'll see.
That would be a huge win for America first.
Cade says my teachers won't be giving any homework for two weeks.
Yes Hey, well, congrats.
Lucky you.
I still have homework.
I got to still do work at home Pineapple says what's the difference between being smart and wise?
Um That's I don't know it's kind of a dumb question That's kind of like a baby question.
I think it's pretty self-explanatory.
Being smart is about cognition.
I've always thought, like, if you're good at math, you're smart.
But being wise, you know, and a lot of people have, like, street smart versus book smart.
That is retarded.
That is a very stupid and, you know, not a very precise way to describe it.
But that's not the same as having experience and intuition and just having a general good sense.
These are very different things.
And it's hard to articulate because smart and wise, you know, it's really just a matter of defining the words.
To me, I just think of wise and I think of smart and they're two different categories.
Plo Kuntz, a size check, Sando, Aqua Monster, Blue Whale, and a bus.
Yeah, pretty epic.
Not Op For Us is your show and everything you've talked about has solidified my belief in Christ.
Here's one for you.
Well, hey, thank you so much for the Ninjagini.
Glad to hear that.
I am glad to hear that.
I like to hear that.
It's tough, it's tough to believe these days because you know religion is maybe at the lowest religiosity is maybe at the lowest level it's been in like thousands of years.
So it's it's harder than ever now to believe and to act like you believe so I am I'm always glad to hear that people listen to the show and they have more faith.
Justin says, got a gift for you in Animal Crossing.
Need your friend code.
You mind?
Yeah, I will send it to you.
Hit me up on Twitter.
I think... Do you have me on Twitter DMs?
Shoot it to me on Twitter or hit me up on Discord and Jaden's server and I'll send it your way.
Michael says, cozy week in lockdown.
Thanks for what you do, King.
Well, thank you, buddy.
Glad you're enjoying the show.
I don't watch it anymore.
It sucks so hard these days.
WWE had based promos on immigration.
I don't watch it anymore.
It sucks so hard these days.
Elf Worshipper says, Much love, King.
Hope all is well.
Thanks, buddy.
Yeah, I'm doing okay.
Optics Respecter says, I told my coworker he was too close and he let out a violent, breathy sigh.
I'm gonna lose it, dude.
I cannot imagine.
I hate that.
Yeah, my father has been sick since he got home, and he's like, oh, it's just a cold.
He's literally coughing all over the place, you know, like catching in his napkin, and he thinks that's okay.
I'm like, do you not know what a cough looks like on the microscopic level?
Do you know that you're just ejecting Droplets, just you're launching them into the air.
You know, it doesn't matter if you catch yourself with a napkin on the second or third cough.
It's out there and it hangs there in the atmosphere and hangs there on surfaces.
What's the purpose of quarantining if you got sick people that are breathing and coughing and touching and... I don't know, man.
I'm gonna lose it.
I'm relating.
In other words, I'm relating 100%.
unidentified
I get it.

Going to work, going to, you know, he got back from a trip last week.
And you know what he tells me?
He says, I'm taking, I told him, I said, are you taking your temperature?
Do you have a fever?
He says, no, I don't.
And I check every day.
Well, we had another conversation about that recently and his checking every day is putting his hand on his forehead.
Oh, I, my, my forehead's not warm.
I don't have a fever.
That's what checking every day means.
You're traveling, you're on an airplane, he was at this big conference, comes home at the height of the pandemic, not taking the temperature.
I'm checking every day.
No, don't worry, I'm checking every day.
Putting his hand on his forehead.
What's the point?
What's the point?
Yeah, this is the final straw.
After the virus, I think I'm out of here.
I think I'm out of here.
You know, I have enough money.
I've had enough money for a long time.
I've been a cheapskate about it for a long time.
And I'm like, I've been saying I'm saving my money for a long time.
I saved a lot of money.
I should have moved out a long time ago.
This is the wake-up call, maybe.
Now it's time to get out of Dutch.
I've been hanging around.
I've been cashing in on the, you know, the free food and laundry and, you know, the household chores being done.
But it's like, man, it's not worth it anymore.
If I get some severe respiratory infection, it's worth it.
I was thinking before, like, if I could just simply not pay to live somewhere else, I won't.
But it's not worth it anymore.
The economics is not worth it anymore.
Imagine sustaining permanent organ damage.
Not worth it.
After that whole incident, I was like, yep, I think it's time to leave.
I think it's time to go.
Yeah, I check every- that's- and he so confidently, he said it so smugly, he was like, I'm like, are you taking your temperature?
Nope!
And I check every day.
Okay, alright, alright, maybe I was just, you know, maybe I'm badgering you too much, maybe I'm being inconsiderate.
Come to find out the other day, I check every day, you know, I see- but not with a thermometer.
Well, you're not checking if it's not with a thermometer.
Anyway, so yeah, I get I understand you optics or spectre.
I get it.
Thanks for the ninja genie That's very funny though Boopers says who will read sounds like a bad moment.
Sounds like a bag in the pocket incident Seems like the shoe is on the other foot now, right?
It's like he metaphorically put the bag in your pocket That's an inside joke between me and OpticsRespector.
Boopers says, who will reach China first, America or Italy?
Probably America.
Yeah, definitely America.
Burritos is America first.
Kickball game at the next meetup?
Yeah, that would be fun, I guess.
Actually, no.
Kickball... The kind of people that watch this show are not really good at kickball in grade school.
unidentified
They're probably bad at kickball, so...

I don't think you have the right demographic here.
Yeah, yeah, just wait.
Thanks for the Ninjagini.
Yeah, and I still want people to get my emails answered.
I'm still talking to the community whatever guy, community director.
So, you know, when am I gonna get the credit?
That's what you gotta understand.
Think about, and look, this is why when everybody calls me, or, you know, certain people call me a grifter or insincere, it makes me furious.
Think about the level that I operate at.
I'm like one of the bigger political streamers, period!
Compare me to the Young Turks, compare me to Chapo, any of these guys, and I'm at their or greater in terms of viewership, the Groyper Wars, the impact that I'm making, I'm about to be a bigger streamer than PewDiePie.
Like, think about that.
I brought more people to this website than PewDiePie.
And think about the way I get treated.
Think about the way I get treated like, you know, they escort me out of CPAC and, you know, this kind of, these kind of charades happen.
I can't, you know, can't get an audience with the people at DLive except for their community manager.
And you know that's because of my politics.
If I was in it for ego, if I was in it for status or something like that, I'd be in the wrong business, right?
I'd be some jerk-off talking about MAGA or whatever.
Anyway.
So yeah, yeah, it is about to subsidize their whole operation.
I'd like a little gratitude or maybe just a little bit of consideration or courtesy.
Cancer Kid says, never forget who stalled when America needed help.
Who, the Democrats?
Bleep Blorp says, early stages in Latin America and they're not prepared.
Even liberals will say no when they try to come in.
Yeah, you're right about that.
It's about to get bad in the third world.
Plo Koons says, the international gnat, the world's foremost problem.
I don't know what that means.
Anglo says pray for us Brits under lockdown bleak times.
I'll be praying for my Angloid brothers.
Hope you're doing okay, bruv.
Hope you have enough quid to sustain yourself.
Hope you stocked up on enough black pudding and whatever.

Fugsit says, these past few weeks would have been impossible without you, King, at home with wife and four kids.
America First keeps me sane.
Well, hey, glad to hear it, buddy.
Thanks for the Ninjagini.
Glad the show keeps you going.
I know it must be tough, especially now.
So I'm glad you enjoy.
Fort Worth Groyper says, how do we combat moralistic therapeutic deism?
unidentified
Duh.
Duh.
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼
How do we combat?
Oh, that's a really intelligent question.
But I basically understand the question.
The problem is that, if I'm understanding you correctly, you're trying to go, you know, nerd mode on me.
unidentified
The...
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼
The therapeutic religion or therapeutic Christianity is really more this prosperity gospel type stuff.
It's a lot of religion without really the sacrifice, without the somber or sober resignation that comes with religion, which is that you resign yourself to being at the mercy of God and at God's grace.
And so it's a lot of people that say this kind of stuff that'll make you feel better, this idea that, you know, God is nature, God is the world, you know, God is just cheering you on, whatever you want to do, there's God out there and he just wants you to do your best.
And it's almost like it's just a psychological crutch, but that does not consist in real belief.
That's the irony, is That kind of therapeutic deism, which is I think maybe what you're getting at.
You're not really being helpful.
You're being a nerd here.
You're trying to sound smart.
Maybe.
But if what I understand your question to be, if I'm right, and I think I'm right, what a lot of people do is they come up with this idea of God that it's like, you know, God just wants you to love everyone and like, it's just a very light-hearted guy.
You know, God is up there.
He just wants you to do your best and try hard and, you know, try to be a good person.
Don't be an asshole.
God would help the poor.
You know what God would do?
Help the poor.
He would, you know, he's all just about moral posturing.
But the irony here is that people invent that because they have a hollowness inside of them, an emotional, spiritual hollowness, a chasm.
And they try to fill it with this therapeutic deism, this prosperity gospel, I like to call it, for a lot of Christians, for a lot of Protestants.
But certainly there are other people, you know, pantheists or deists or spiritualists or whatever.
And they say, oh, well, I am going to feel better by praying to this rock, you know, this Amherst or, you know, the sapphire crystal.
You know, the crystal is really going to align my chakras.
Here's the problem, though.
Religion is only comforting when you actually believe in it.
Religion is a crutch, but only when you believe in it.
And in order to believe in it, you have to believe it's real, and when you believe it's real, it demands sacrifice.
You know, real belief means that you are directing your consciousness towards something higher, and that's what people are unwilling to do.
The source of their misery is their attachment to the temporal world.
That's what people are unwilling to do.
And that's sort of the grand irony.
It's sort of tragic, but it is ironic.
That everybody, you know, in a desperate attempt to cling to the temporal world, they come up with these fake spiritual ideas to sort of justify them or to comfort them, but they're ignoring the fact that it's their clinging.
It's their unwilling to let go from this life because you're going to die and you're going to be miserable.
And that is just the state of our existence.
And the only way to unlock yourself from that is to let go.
Watch your mood.
I watch my mood.
God's grace.
That's it.
That's all there is.
And watch.
Watch your mood.
I watch my mood, and I find that I'm the most miserable when I'm in a state of desire.
Whatever that is, when I'm my most miserable, and maybe you can find this in your own life.
Maybe do a little introspection.
That's rare these days, but try to look at your mood and where you are.
I find that whenever I really want something, whatever it is, that is when I'm miserable.
When I'm thinking, if only it could, you know, something could just be this way.
If only I could, you know, have this, or have that, or whatever.
Be there, you know, at this thing, have this money, whatever.
It's always in that state that I, you know, feel miserable.
And when I'm not miserable is when I'm just being.
Just being.
And that might sound like really reductive or like asinine, but just being and not wanting, maybe that's Buddhist or something, but it's true.
When you sort of resign yourself to just, you know, enjoying life, whatever comes, and maybe that's just more of a stoic mentality more than anything, but that's I think the first step.
That is when I think you're not going to become happy, but you're not going to be miserable.
I think that's as far as you can go.
So I don't know if that all makes sense.
I'm, you know, I'm just thinking out loud here, but that's, I'm trying to interpret what you're saying here.
Kyle says, Genius Nick, your content helps me keep entertained under lockdown.
Big fan, been watching for years.
Well, thanks for the Nijigini.
Thanks for the support.
Glad you like the show.
I'm glad you're being entertained during these tough times.
Jen Zesus says this summer might be a good time to buy a home.
If you buy a house, would you want to stay in Chicago?
Yeah, I'm gonna stay in Chicago.
This is my home.
I love Chicago.
I love the area.
The only other place I'd consider is maybe New England or maybe somewhere warm.
But yeah, I want to stay home where my family is, where my roots are.
So yeah, I'm gonna hang out.
But I'm gonna wait for the housing market to crash.
That was the other thing.
I was waiting for the housing market to crash before I bought a home.
All these dummies, all these goyim.
That's what they are.
Goyim!
Not that I'm Jewish, but you know what I mean.
All these people that are like so... I don't even know.
They just don't think.
You don't have to be Jewish, but you do have to think like Jewish sometimes when it comes to these things.
You know, these people are giving me a hard time.
Move out!
Move out!
Number one, it's like save your money.
Number two, don't buy when the housing market is in a bubble, right?
How stupid would that be?
Well, I bought a house when the market is totally inflated.
It's the, you know, it's the second housing bubble.
And I bought a house and it was way overpriced and I have no savings, but at least I can say, but at least nobody will say that I live at home anymore at 21 and I can brag to my friends that I'm on my own.
It's like, that is such a slave.
That is like a slave mentality.
That is cattle mentality.
Right?
So yeah, I was I have been waiting for the housing market to crash and now it looks like it's going to perhaps Potentially, you know, my friend was telling me that probably real estate's gonna crash the latter half of this year I'm not an economist, but I'm gonna wait until those those prices dip a little bit before I go in So yeah, it's gonna it's gonna happen soon and the studios going up.
So I Decisions will have to be made.
Aquatic Nibba says, should I risk getting drive-thru?
I would go for some McDoubles right now.
Yeah, I would do it.
I went through the drive-thru the other day.
Thanks for the Ninjagini.
I got some ice cream yesterday.
It was awesome!
I tell you, my life is no different under quarantine than it was before.
Because...
My favorite pastime is I like to go to the drive-thru and just drive around and eat McDonald's, eat ice cream.
That's my favorite thing.
That's what I did before the quarantine, and the other night I went out, I got some ice cream, driving around town, blasting my music, and it was like everything was normal.
You know, there are people out and about driving, and town still looks the same, so...
So yes, I think it's safe.
The problem is the person-to-person transmission.
Surfaces are a problem too, but as long as you disinfect, you get it from the drive-thru, just mind the person over there.
And if you wear a mask, I'm sure that would be fine.
Even a cloth mask I think would be fine for that.
Maybe you wear goggles or glasses, something like that.
If you really wanted to be super safe, what I would tell you is rubber gloves, glasses, mask, take the bag, you know, disinfect it with a wipe or, you know, maybe retrieve your components and then take all the shit off.
And maybe that's the safest way you could do it.
But yeah, I don't think there's an extreme risk.
You're putting yourself at risk anytime you leave the house, really.
But, um...
Not necessarily every time you literally go outside, but every time you go to like a store or a drive-thru I think you put yourself at risk, but the risk is very very low.
I'm pretty sure that's the guidance so Lifted trucks says Californians are buying entire gun shops out.
Yeah, it's awesome Lifted trucks says I've been eating bat meat my whole life nuggets Okay I don't eat bat meat, but yeah, good for you, I guess.
Yeet says, if I dip the baseball bat in Corona, it's more deadly.
Dip it in Corona?
Yeah, great idea.
Anime says, let's just push the virus somewhere else.
Yeah, not a bad idea.
Robofart says, what's the beef with Sean?
I don't think there's a beef with Sean.
I don't have a beef with Sean.
Blacktrick Casey says, Nick, don't touch your face!
I'm good.
I'm clean.
I'm good.
I'm clean.
I'm good.
I'm clean.
I'm good.
I'm clean.
I'm good.
Don't suffer severe cases.
But the problem is, if 80% of the population gets it, if 98% of the people live and 2% of the population die, that's millions of people that are dying, right?
And that's millions of people that are getting it.
If 10%, let's say, 7% are severe cases, that's millions of people that are in the ICU, that are in the hospital, and they require ventilators and all kinds of things.
So, that's why, you know, to say the vast majority are okay, well, you know, that's not really how it works.
Ober Greuper says, read it, King, okay?
Yeah, me too.
Yeah, yeah, no problem.
Everybody's giving me such a hard time about the merch, and I'm gonna take care of everybody.
So, if you've been one of these people that's been very rude to me as I try to handle a difficult situation, and I'm a one-man band over here, you're gonna feel like shit when I take good care of you, and I expect you to say thanks and to order more products.
You should see some of these people.
It's like, there's a slight delay, I don't get back to your email right away, and people are like, you are, you know, all kinds of just hatred and nastiness.
Do you know what my operation looks like?
It's me!
It's me, and it's one other guy that does the merch.

Girth Brooks says, America first started two hours ago.
Oh, am I late?
Okay, that's good.
We got a little Kanye check in there.
Can't tell me nothing.
Of course, I recognize this.
A satirical man with a Ninjet.
Thank you so much!
This satirical man is keeping the America First ship afloat.
I don't even need to count on the Trump books.
I got this guy.
Thank you so much.
Really appreciate it.
Very generous.
Thank you for the Ninjet.
And no message.
He sends in a ninjat and no message.
That's what a trooper looks like, by the way.
Some of you people read it, you send a diamond.
You send one dollar.
And if I don't read it, I get emails that you get all bent out of shape.
Some of these people send hundreds, some more.
No message.
They just want to support the cause.
That's what an America First Marine looks like.
So, thanks a lot, buddy.
Appreciate it.
Fort Worth Gropers has ever played Mount and Blade Warband.
No, I've never played that.
Maybe I'll look into it.
Never seen Rocky, actually.
No, I've never played that.
Maybe I'll look into it.
300 Spartan says, opinion on Rocky?
A great Italian story, in my opinion.
Never seen Rocky, actually.
Just one of those ones I never saw.
IC says, your elites want you to go out and risk your family's lives for the value of their portfolios.
That's not it, actually.
Thank you for the Nijigini.
But this kind of stuff is just unhelpful and wrong.
I used to fight with James Alsup a lot about this on Nationalist Review.
It's this meme ideology.
That was the phrase I used to use.
For example, me and James would argue about the Syria strikes.
Or we'd argue about DACA.
And I would be citing facts, you know?
I'd be citing what's happening on the ground and giving a reasonable take, and this guy would just be like, oh, new content!
New content!
unidentified
I get all my opinions from memes that I see online!
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼
And that's, you know, generally memes are effective at communicating a message to other people, but they're not the basis for having a serious political opinion.
You have to think these things through.
And, you know, this idea that the only reason that they want us to go out back to work is for their portfolio!
Risk your life for the portfolio!
Well, it's not entirely it.
Because 30% of the population will be unemployed next quarter.
And that's going to hurt the elites, but they're going to get bailed out.
It's also going to hurt us.
The elites are going to be fine.
Billionaires, millionaires, you think this hurts them?
It's going to hurt some of them.
You think Jeff Bezos is really hurting right now?
You think he's really, really concerned about his money?
He's doing fine.
They're not doing that as a bailout for Jeff Bezos.
I don't know if they're doing it entirely because it's a bailout for the people, but this is unsustainable for everybody.
This is the whole.
We're all in the economy together.
And if anybody's gonna be okay during a time of crisis, it's gonna be the rich.
Who owns the stocks?
I mean, I guess the rich do, right?
But these are public companies that, you know, we are employed at.
Well, not me, but you know, workers are employed at.
Those companies will get bailouts.
Those CEOs and the shareholders will get bailouts.
These people that have portfolios, they hedge in their portfolios, right?
You know, they take bets.
And, you know, that's not to say that nobody will be ruined by this, but it is to say the idea that this is just, you know, we just have to march back out for Wall Street is ridiculous.
50%!
You know, GDP will shrink 50%, 30% of the population employed.
You think that working people are not getting hurt by this?
Working people need to work to make money to feed themselves.
And I don't know, are you like a communist?
Are you... And I'm not, you know me, I'm not one of these free market shills, I'm not...
I've got plenty of criticisms of the current paradigm and liquidity and you know near zero interest and this is a problem that's been a long time coming and the crisis catalyzed a lot of it but let's be serious here.
If people don't have jobs in a lot of cases and they're living paycheck to paycheck they can't feed themselves.
And they can't pay their bills, and that's a problem.
So the idea that, like, a return to normalcy is just, oh, well, peasants have to go back to work, huh?
Well, I mean, yeah, for a lot of people that are working class, it's real trouble when they're laid off, or unemployed, or they get fired, or, you know, they're told that they're not going to get paid for weeks on end, indefinitely.
A lot of people don't have enough savings to get them through three months, you know?
So certainly, it's causing a lot of commotion on Wall Street, and maybe Wall Street's giving the administration a kick in the ass, but the idea that it's not hurting anybody other than Wall Street, and this is bleeding Wall Street dry, and the working people are just rubbing their ants together, that's just not true.
That is a meme.
Fort Worth Gropers says, a lot of Gropers.
I just read that.
Robert E. Legal says, yeet.
Thanks for the ninja-ghini.
Wiffles says, keep an eye on India.
It's about to explode there.
Yeah, well, and they've been under-reporting.
It's gonna get bad.
Shredder says fishy glub glub.
Okay.
Thank you for that shredder.
You got to get on Animal Crossing big guy Josh the remover says my buddy's cousin got the virus spooky times.
Yeah, you're gonna know people that'll get infected and you'll get infected Optics respecter says I bet I can guess who attacked the Asian Americans.
I think we all can I would say it's largely low impulse control, violent, warrior gene, criminal type people.
And that is going to be New Yorkers, right?
New Yorkers, Democrats in New York.
I know that's a stale joke, but I don't know, it's a little funny.
Thonny says, is your mom going to start cutting your hair?
Probably not.
I'm just gonna, I'm gonna grow a Corona beard.
I'm gonna grow a Corona beard and I'm gonna grow my hair out for Corona.
And I'm not, I'm not shaving until this is over.
Thanks for the Ninjagini.
Jock Mance is highly recommended.
No more news tonight.
Adam Green with Whitney Webb.
Okay, thank you for the Ninjagini.
Florida Mance says, WTF are South Korea and Japan doing?
We should emulate.
Well, the numbers in Japan are going up.
And I told you, South Korea is just doing the testing and the quarantining.
Not rockin' science.
Ty Bore says, bro, I just caught an oarfish.
Huge!
Hey, don't tell Jaden.
He's not gonna be happy.
Crimzintz says, bless Corona for ruining the thought simp paradigm.
You think that's over?
MainGroiper says, Trump's early flip sounds like Sheldon Adelson called.
I don't know about that.
PolishAmerican says, no disrespect to watching in America First for the Super Chats only.
Not your fault, but the virus is kind of boring.
Okay, well your super chats are kind of boring actually.
So, not your fault, but you're kind of boring.
Maga4Life says, shout out from a nurse and investor recently married and love watching your show together.
Praise God!
Well hey, thank you so much.
Thanks for the Ninjagini.
Glad you love the show.
Glad you like it.
Not for everybody.
You know, I'm hard-pressed to imagine couples watching this show because, you know, all the adults that I know are, like, cringe and they watch, like, American Idol and stuff like that.
No offense, Dad.
But, like, generally, like, my parents and their friends and our neighbors would never watch a show like this because it's just, like, you know, they're normies.
So it's sort of funny to me.
The people who watch this show that I imagine are people like me, people my age and young kids, young white men who are maybe a little off the beaten path.
It's the idea that a couple sits down, oh honey, is America First on it?
It's nice, but it's always funny to me to see that.
But thanks for the Ninjagini.
Mart says, imagine watching America First and not donating.
Yeah, can't relate.
Imagine consuming all this free content.
Talk about freeloaders, right?
All these people are in the chat like, oh, consume, consume.
And they consume without the donation.
But that's okay.
Ghani and, I'm just joking.
Ghani and Groypers is higher than...
Well, the problem is they were laid off because they have to self-quarantine and if they made equipment they'd have to not be quarantined.
Will says, arms looking skinny, bra hanging on a string.
I don't know, I think I'm looking pretty buff lately.
I think I'm looking pretty, pretty huge, pretty strong.
I've been, I've ironically been eating more since coronavirus.
I've tapped into the reserves and now I've been consuming more fuel, so.
So I don't, I disagree.
If you saw me in person, I think my arms would be bigger than your head.
Jeff said, I just asked Ashley St.
Clair.
Jeff says, I prefer Eddie Gordo over martial law.
What is Eddie Gordo?
Is that, is that from Even Stevens?
Am I thinking of something else?
What is Eddie Gordo?
Eddie Gordo, oh, from Tekken?
I don't know what that means.
Wasn't there a character in Even Stevens named Gordo?
unidentified
I think there was, yeah.
Let's see.

Question for Nick says, do you care about having your car clean?
I do, yeah.
Scorched Titan says, did you hear about that new anti-America First HBO show?
Nope.
Patrick Casey says, who's the best Animal Crossing player in the movement?
Me, obviously.
Thanks for the diamond, Patrick.
That's a very divisive question.
Patrick trying to stir up conflict among the Zoomers.
Particularly with Jaden, because Jaden is so competitive and so defensive.
You know, it's been very interesting to discover this competitive streak in Jaden.
He's very invested in his gaming skills.
You know, some people are like this.
His conception of self is all in on his gaming skill.
And so, we'll be ribbing him in a friendly way playing games, and he doesn't like that.
He gets mad.
And he gets very mad online.
You know, we chastise him about the games.
He has to win!
And so, so Patrick, you're being very divisive right now.
You're dividing the movement.
You know I'm gonna say me, and then you know Jaden's gonna, he's gonna wig out.
You know how he is.
So, but it is, but it is me.
I am the best.
I know how to play.
I've been playing it for years.
So, I am simply superior.
More skills, more experience, and that's okay.
Uh, you know, Jaden is better at Fortnite, he's better at Call of Duty, but Animal Crossing is my, that's my game.
Ramey says, America first, number one!
PewDiePie guest host, when?
Soon.
Yeah, I'll have to call him up, now that we're in the, uh, the one and two club.
We're gonna be in the six million club, as far as lemons go.
Uh, Zanas says, my first super chat, let's get Nick to number one earnings!
Well, thank you!
Uh, OberGroipers says, America first!
Needs to be first!
Hail to the king!
Thanks for the Ninjagini.
Yeah, that would be big.
If we got there, that would be very newsworthy.
Joker says, what is this?
unidentified
I don't even know what that means.

Crimson says Papa Fuentes using coronavirus to clear the nest based.
Yeah, potentially Warren says took a long drive today quarantine getting to me.
Yeah.
Well, I Drive all the time and it's not cuz you know, it's getting me just cuz it's fun.
But I Hey, hey, keep your chin up, King.
Your crown's falling.
Ramy says, wait until summer.
Houses will be cheap.
Yeah, I'm going to wait.
Bob says, my dad was in China when the coronavirus popped off and has the same lax attitude about his health.
Yeah, I think that's just a boomer, a very old person mentality, just to be like, nothing can hurt me.
It's so funny.
They tell young people that we feel like we're invincible.
It's not.
We are the most neurotic generation ever.
And it's the boomers that think they're invincible, because they grew up in the 60s and 70s and 80s.
Nothing can happen to us, man.
Keep the good times rolling, man.
Light up a joint, go to a rock concert, man.
Let's get some booze.
Let's party.
You kids are too concerned.
It's like that Christina Hoff Sommer's tweet.
What did she tweet?
Christina Hoff Sommer's famous tweet.
She was like, you kids worry too much.
We had sex and went to rock concerts.
That's why you fucked us in every way.
Tactical Nuke says, move to Indiana?
Cheap rent and great gun laws?
Yeah, no way.
No way I'm moving to Indiana.
Not a chance.
I live in a great world city.
I live on the periphery of Chicago.
I live in the Chicagoland area.
This is very prestigious compared to living in Indiana.
I mean, look, don't get me wrong.
Love my Hoosiers.
Love Indiana.
But it's just not my home.
It's just not...
That's just not where I'm from.
I am from the Chicago suburbs and that is where I will remain.
In and around Chicago, Mr. Maxwell says, Virgin thermometer versus Chad, hand check, yeah.
That's, you know, it's one of those memes where it's the Zoomer crying Are you checking your temperature every day?
And you know the Chad boomer.
I don't feel warm.
I'm not sick Racist incels has played dodgeball.
So us endos will have our day Uh, oh, yeah, you you endos will have your day in dodgeball bigger targets.
So Fani says d live treats you so bad.
It makes me sad and cry Yeah, they do treat me bad Reptar it's his biggest streamer on D on D live still a Nika.
That's right.
That's right Still a Nika no matter what no matter what I do no matter how successful I am Still a Nika.
That's always that's always what it's gonna be I'll have to come in through the back door Even as, you know, as much as we've done now, it's still, well, you have to come through the back door where the slaves used to enter, right?
When I meet with somebody, we can't be seen.
We gotta go somewhere where there's no cameras.
And, uh, you know, this kind of stuff, with DLive, get escorted out of CPAC, and they pat me down, still a n***a.
That's how it goes.
Fartsmellers says, large corporation versus small business and Stemfield, which is less likely to sack people in a recession?
Probably the large corporation.
Thanks for the Ninjagini.
And that's exactly it.
That's exactly it.
Big Email Guy says, favorite book by Pat Buchanan?
Well, I haven't read all of his books, but I think Death of the West is probably the best.
Warren82 says, when work starts again, will school simultaneously?
Oh, will school simultaneously start again too?
I don't know.
I don't know.
We'll have to see about that.
I mean, school is out during the summer, right?
I don't think school is going to resume anytime this year.
I mean, maybe it will.
But it depends because the businesses are shut down because of shelter in place.
The schools are shut down because of the government.
So I don't know if they lift the shelter in place, do they then reopen the schools?
Because the schools are obviously, the public schools are run by the government.
So that all depends.
Andrew Jackson says, appreciate the advice on not being miserable.
Yeah, no problem.
Superorganism says submission of your will to God's order is key.
Yeah, very true.
Jason says think like a cube.
Gotta think like a cube.
Yeet says you can buy four houses in New England for one in Chicago.
I don't think that's true at all, actually.
In Boston?
Are you kidding?
Chicago's not extremely... I mean, Chicago's more expensive because it's a big city, but it's not like New York City.
It's not like L.A.
real estate.
Nothing close to that.
Chicago's pretty reasonable for the third biggest city in the country.
And Boston's no cheaper.
Maybe if you're talking about, like, you know... If you're talking about Rhode Island or Connecticut or you're talking about New Hampshire, then it's different, but...
You're talking about Boston.
It's not the same or it's it's probably about the same I would imagine It's you're living in the city.
This that's the city is a high cost of living virtually no matter where you go Intentionally blanks as I'm proud of you Nick.
God bless you.
Hey, thank you, man Feminist cat lady says don't be rude to Nick.
He's sensitive.
Okay feminist cat lady BasedGroper says, Nick, how is your mental and physical health?
I'm good.
I'm feeling great.
I honestly have never been feeling better.
I've been taking vitamins.
I've been eating.
I've been sleeping.
So I've been feeling great.
Mental health, physical health, never better.
it's about people says no taxes for 2020 DC can cut back I don't know if that's gonna happen cutting all taxes I think that would be like trillions of dollars whereas you give a cash payment that's like 500 billion dollars so I don't know if that's gonna happen by Delta says Caldwell's Age of Enlightenment equals America first much must read I'll be the judge of that We'll see.
What is this?
Caldwell?

Black Phillips' Goldman Sachs CEO just got a 20% raise.
What a joke!
Yeah, tell me about it.
Lil' Ed says, Thot Line Miami MAGA hat looks sick.
Yeah, I agree.
Fartsmeller says, Beardson tends to dogpile on Jaden way too much.
Yeah, I don't know.
I guess so.
Look, you know, guys are just busting each other's balls and...
I don't know, that's just the way it goes.
That's just the house that I grew up in.
That was always the culture.
My parents grew up in the city.
They were like, what you would call neighborhood people.
So that's just kind of the attitude that they have.
I think maybe, this is just my, maybe my idea of it.
I don't know if this is going to offend Jaden, but Jaden comes from the West, from the Midwest, right?
I think he was, well I don't want to dox him, but he's from Nebraska and Kansas.
And it's just a different culture out there.
You know, my parents grew up in the city.
You know, my father grew up in a rough, you know, area.
My mother and her mother had a rough situation.
They were in the city and my mom was in an ethnic Italian neighborhood.
I think my father was in an ethnic Italian neighborhood too, despite being Mexican and Irish.
And that is just simply the culture that is there.
It's, you know, it's just a different culture.
And so I was raised that way.
And I think that, you know, generally people from the interior are raised a different way.
They're kind of raised... I don't know.
Maybe that's just my perception.
I wasn't raised in Kansas.
I don't know.
But maybe it's a more gentle, more of a nicer, southern hospitality, bless your heart, kind of a thing.
I don't know.
Maybe these cowboys, these cowpokes, Farmer Brown, they just can't take the banter.
I don't know.
So maybe that's what it is.
But that's just an idea.
Just an idea I'm floating out there.
I'm not saying that.
It's just an idea.
It's just a different culture.
But I'm not going to police, you know, is this one, you know, dogpiling or whatever.
You just got to defend yourself.
You just got to go back and forth and not take it personally.
Kube Gordo says, keep up the good work, man.
Thanks, buddy.
Patrick Casey says, Nick and Jaden tied for number one.
Jaden slightly ahead.
Okay, well, we can do that.
Thanks for the diamond, Patrick.
Patrick's really trying to rile everybody up.
Ever since the dump truck acid, he's in there and he's trying to sow division.
He's trying to get under my skin.
I won't let it happen!
I won't let it happen!
But thanks for the diamonds, Patrick Casey.
I'll have to hit you back.
Congrats, by the way, on 5,000.
A momentous occasion.
Everybody's rising up on DLive.
Jaden just hit 5,000.
Patrick just hit 5,000.
Patrick's getting huge numbers.
Jaden's getting big numbers.
Everybody's doing great.
Bass Guitarist says, you're a big inspiration, big guy.
Well, thanks.
I like it too.
Like I said, prosperous belly.
The America first belly.
I like it too.
Like I said, prosperous belly, the America first belly.
If I'm eating good, that means that the movement is doing well.
It's a symbol of our movement.
If I can afford to eat good, it means that this is a prosperous, energetic, successful, you know, monetarily solvent movement.
It means I have enough to feed myself.
I have enough to eat a lot.
The bigger the belly, the better the movement.
That's what I say.
The America first belly.
Imagine if I was some, you know, skin and bones, you know, muscle head.
Imagine if I was one of these really toned people, and they're only toned because They get paid every two weeks and they spend it all in the first weekend and they don't eat towards the second weekend, right?
That's the, I'm not gonna say what kind of diet that is, but that's a certain kind of diet.
Imagine if I was just one of these like slim-waisted, you know, flat-chested, well not flat-chested, flat-stomach abs, I had this designer physique.
What would that say about me?
It would say that I'm not working.
It would say that I'm not toiling tirelessly in the studio.
That I'm not eating good.
That I'm not eating well.
That I'm not a glutton.
Because I need the brain food.
I need the brain.
You need to saturate your brain with this stuff!
Look, I'm no scientist, but...
I'm in the laboratory cooking up good content with my brain every day.
It's phone calls, it's writing, it's gaming.
There's a lot of motion going on and much more importantly a lot of brain and spirit power.
And I need that energy, that caloric intake to feed this.
You need Italian beef, you need cheeseburgers, you need ice cream.
It's brain food.
Ice cream has fat.
Fat is good for your brain.
Italian beef has fat.
It has a lot of vitamins and minerals in there.
It is good.
Your body is soaking it up.
You know, sort of like the Italian beef bread.
It soaks up the juice.
Your body is soaking up these nutrients and your brain is soaking them up and it's making your brain better.
It's making your brain smarter.
So...
All this is to say, uh, you know, my, my physique should not be a subject of criticism.
If anything, it should be venerated.
You know, this, this is what peak, this is what peak America First looks like, frankly.
Uh, aquatic nibble, I just read that.
Jack Pancake says, classic boomer move to cough without covering, shaking my head.
He's trying to cover, but he's just not diligent about it.
You have to prepare before you cough.
You do this, and then you cough.
And you look away.
He will, point blank, cough into the napkin.
Don't cough at me, but put a napkin in front.
You know, please, avert your, avert your, you know, move, pivot, and cough over there.
And wait before you cough, cover, and then cough.
unidentified
But he's just like, I'm sorry, that's not good enough.
