nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼		- 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 Friday for another epic show, another fascinating, interesting look into the coronavirus pandemic.
		I am excited for this.
		We've got a lot to talk about.
		As always, we're talking about the usual.
		But it's casual Friday.
		Thank God it's Friday, right?
		So, we're not wearing a necktie.
		Very casual, low-key, relaxed sentiment.
		Relaxed vibe on the show tonight, as evidenced by the wardrobe, as evidenced by the attire for this evening.
		And tonight, I gotta tell you, there's really not much going on.
		Really not a lot happening in the news.
		Yesterday, we had a big show.
unidentified		Big, exciting, fresh news.
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼		We had our three-phase reopening plan from the White House that we got to look at and break down how that's gonna work out with gating.
		And what is involved in all the three different phases and what that means and everything and tonight it's like not much really happening.
		The big development that I saw and the biggest story I think is about this antibody test which we talked about last week.
		They have developed an antibody test which is effective and they're able to test your blood and see if you have the coronavirus antibodies.
		Which if you know how that works, you know, I don't know how that works.
		I'm not a doctor.
		You develop, your body develops antibodies which will be able to fight off a coronavirus infection.
		So they began shipping those tests and they ordered I think 50,000 of those tests last week and now they're being administered.
		And a new study came out of San Francisco where they've begun to administer this antibody test and they found that They may have underestimated the number of coronavirus cases in America by between 50 and 85 percent according to this study.
		In other words, they're administering this antibody test, and what is turning up is that there are so many more asymptomatic cases than had ever been predicted or that had ever been known to scientists or doctors.
		And if there are way more cases than we know about that are confirmed or that are symptomatic, as we've been saying, then that means that the death rate is dramatically lowers.
		So that is big news and very consequential.
		So we'll be looking at that and talking about what that means for the country.
		That would be very good.
		If there were 85 times more cases than we know about, then that means that the death rate would be 85 times lower.
		That would mean that the death rate could be up to 85 times lower than what we have with our current data, which is the number of total deaths over confirmed cases.
		So that would mean that the death rate might be something like 0.05% roughly as opposed to 5% which is what the current data suggests.
		So that would be a very good thing.
		That would mean that the death count would be a lot lower.
		That would mean that Achieving herd immunity would not be a bloodbath.
		That would not be something, you know, cruel and unnecessary and out of the cards.
		So we'll talk about all of that.
		It's a pretty interesting and fascinating story because that has been the big question.
		It's interesting that three months into the coronavirus pandemic, Things as important as that are still a variable, are still a question mark.
		And it's funny because I've been covering this for just as long.
		I've been covering this since the coronavirus first was reported in China.
		And that was one of the first questions was about mortality.
		And we never really figured that out.
		I mean we've been, as much data as we've gotten over the past three months in the United States or in Europe or in Asia, we still have no idea what that mortality rate looks like.
		And I think it's kind of funny because we can't really make any serious knowledgeable decisions unless we have that number.
		We don't really know what we're dealing with until we have an idea of what the proportion is of fatalities for every case because we frankly have no idea how many cases there are still.
		So I think it's all very interesting.
		We'll talk about that and that'll be our main story.
		We'll also be looking at our latest numbers, numbers of death, numbers of confirmed cases, We'll also be looking at testing.
		Testing is going very well.
		We've now administered more than 3 million tests in the United States and our testing capacity on a daily basis has skyrocketed.
		And I said last night we talked about this a little bit.
		We talked about this a lot more when the outbreak was first reported in the United States, particularly in Washington and in New York.
		We talked a lot about the testing capacity of the United States, which as I said about a month ago, mid-early March, our testing capacity was at about 20,000 per day maximum.
		And as I've been saying, we weren't even there.
		We were testing, you know, I think like less than a thousand per day.
		But our maximum testing capacity with all of our laboratories, technicians, personnel, everything, doing manual coronavirus tests, which took a long time.
		Could have ramped up to up to 20,000.
		Now we're testing 120,000 people per day.
		So pretty good numbers.
		We'll get into all of that.
		Should be a pretty good show.
		But I just gotta tell ya, we're reaching the point of exhaustion here.
		And I know you guys feel it.
		I feel it.
		I think everybody's just sick of this.
		People are sick of being at home.
		They want to go back to work.
		They want to go back outside.
		They want to go to restaurants.
		They want to get on with their lives.
		And like when people get on with their lives, then the world will begin to turn again.
		There will be more news on this show again.
		But it has just been brutal.
		And you know I've been complaining about it for weeks.
		But it's like holy smokes.
		And here's the worst thing.
		It's like I'd like to do like debate type streams.
		But nobody wants to debate.
	I was watching a debate stream before I went live that's why I was a little bit late you know like a minute late.
	I was watching a debate actually on YouTube My, uh, well, these two guys that I've been following on TikTok, Nick Videos and Lance Videos.
	You may know Lance, maybe you don't know Nick Videos.
	He's not me!
	Um, but these are two conservative, Republican, you know, very normie type, right-wing, uh, social media influencers on TikTok, and they are right now doing an abortion debate on YouTube with some left-wing TikTokers, and I was watching that for a little while.
	And while I was watching it, and I see what's going on with Hunter Avalon, he's doing debates, and it feels like everybody's doing debates!
	Everybody gets to debate, everybody gets a fun exchange, and there's a clash, and it's exciting, but nobody wants to debate me!
	And that is lame, because I have a big platform.
	You know, people should want to debate me because of the big platform, but I think that the disadvantage I have going for me is that when you beat everybody you've ever debated, then nobody wants to debate, because they don't want to lose.
	Nobody wants to go on a debate with 5,000 people watching and lose.
	They want to go on a debate with a lot of people watching to have a chance at winning.
	And I do believe it's either that or, you know, like the usual disavowal type stuff, You know, can't be caught in a picture.
	Can't be associated with Groyper.
	I mean, you certainly have a little bit of that as well, but I'm looking around at all the different kinds of content.
unidentified		It's like no debates, no news.
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼		So what do I do?
		Do I just do gaming?
		Do I just pack it up?
		You know what?
		America First is going out of business.
		We're furloughing our one employee.
		We're gonna furlough our top employee and he's the first one to show up.
		He's the last one to leave and he's been working in this in this business since it started three years ago.
		But you know, there's just there's no work to be done.
		We got to clear out the work site and maybe once the economy gets going again, then then we can invite him back.
		We can invite our soldier back to the front lines here.
unidentified		But it's just been like, what am I even supposed to talk about?
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼		At least yesterday we had the new plan, but today it's like, what was even the press briefing about?
		Nothing.
		Anyway, but we'll talk about some things.
		We'll try and keep it fun.
		You know, there'll be super chats as always.
		Maybe I'll figure it out this weekend.
		I'll think about, you know, what can we do to replace it?
		Or rather, what can we do to switch it up a little bit because I'm getting sick of the corona shit.
		Okay, but we're gonna dive in and we'll talk.
		There's not, not, you know, I don't have any more passing thoughts.
		You know, yesterday we talked about the obesity and the day before we talked about the touch.
		I'm just pissed off.
		I want a haircut.
		I want to shave.
		I want to go eat a cheeseburger.
		I want it to stop snowing.
		It's April.
		I want something to happen in the Middle East or with immigration.
		Something cool.
		Anyway, so that's my passing thought today.
		That is my passing thought, my intro.
		Spare me, right?
unidentified		But we're gonna dive into the latest, the latest numbers.
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼		Wow, can't wait.
unidentified		So...
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼		The death rate is back up.
		I don't know what they're talking about when they say, we have passed the peak, we have hit the peak, because it doesn't seem like that's the case.
		I mean, maybe it's not going to go up exponentially higher than it is now, and you have some degree of stabilization, but we've been following the death number very closely for the past week, or for the past two weeks now, and we first reported a decline in the death rate at the beginning of this week, And we've been talking about this, but the death rate was at 2,000 on Friday, down 100 on Saturday, down 400 from that on Sunday.
		She had 2,000 Friday, about 1,900 Saturday, 1,500 on Sunday, 1,300 on Monday, but then it shoots up to 2,600 on Monday and 2,600 on Tuesday.
		She had 2,000 Friday, about 1,900 Saturday, 1,500 on Sunday, 1,300 on Monday, but then it shoots up to 2,600 on Monday and 2,600 on Tuesday.
		Yesterday, or I'm sorry.
		On Thursday, the number was 2,100.
		That was yesterday.
		And now the total today is 2,500.
		2,500 new deaths in 24 hours.
		So, they're saying that we've passed the peak, but I would say that it'd be more accurate to say that we are at the peak.
		And the thing about the numbers is, I don't know if it's a V-shaped graph where they go up and then they go down.
		Because that's what people think of about a peak.
		I mean, that's not the technical term for it, but people think, okay, we hit the peak and now we're on the way down.
		But it's really more like you rise up to the peak and then it stabilizes there.
		And in a lot of countries, that's what you see.
		In New York, it seems like this is what you're seeing, that it gets up to a certain number and then it's going to hover there.
		Especially when you've got outbreaks across the country and each state is peaking at their own curve at their own time.
		So the death rate appears to be stabilizing.
		I don't know if it's necessarily going down yet.
		Like I said, it's been fluctuating and it's been somewhat variable over the last week.
		But it's back up to 2,500, which is higher than any number that we saw last week.
		So we're stabilizing, which is still a good sign, but there still is a lot of death, is my point.
		There are still lots of people dying from this every day.
		Not really out of the woods in terms of that just quite yet.
		So that brings us to a total of 37,154 dead.
		We have 32,000 new confirmed cases and we are now at a total of 709,000 confirmed cases.
		And every time I see this number go up, I keep thinking back to, you know, I keep thinking back to that Walgreens clerk.
		1,300 cases!
		Do you know what a small number that is?
		Yeah, and it's actually 700,000.
		And according to the new numbers that we're going to look at tonight, With this antibody test in San Francisco, that number could actually be 85% higher, which would be a good thing for death, but obviously would mean that the virus transmitted a lot more than we suspected.
		So these are the latest numbers.
		As always, we're going to keep an eye on them, and we'll read them off every day, and we'll monitor the situation and see how it's going.
		They're going to go back up because states are going to begin to reopen.
		And in a sense there will be I guess you could say like a controlled increase and we'll have a controlled number of cases because of course there are precautions being put in place.
		Sanitation, personal protection equipment, social distancing, general consciousness about this hand washing hygiene.
		But nevertheless the more that people are going to be interacting with each other and the more they'll be touching common and shared surfaces There will be more transmission.
		So, the President is already talking about opening up states before May 1st.
		Some were saying that May 1st would be the earliest, but we could even go to June 1st for some states.
		For example, in Connecticut and I think in Michigan, they talked about delaying the reopening to late May or even the end of May, the beginning of June.
		But the president has said that some states will be reopening this week or next week For example, Texas is looking at easing some of the restrictions Idaho is looking at easing restrictions and of course in some states you have a much lower risk of an outbreak than others because they have a low population density and they don't have just in general they have a much smaller population and And so in a lot of those places, you never saw a big outbreak to begin with.
		So it is more sensible to do it in those places than in others.
		But once we begin on that trajectory of reopening and easing restrictions, these numbers are going to go back up.
		And hopefully not back to where they are right now because, you know, 2,500 dead per day is a lot of people when that goes on for weeks or months.
		That's a pretty high death count so I would hope that it's not going to skyrocket back up but you're going to see more of that.
		But those are our numbers like I said we're going to keep an eye on that.
		The big story that I want to talk about today is this Antibody tested in San Francisco and I'll read you the report here because it's somewhat technical and there's some data to look at.
		It says, quote, a team of researchers in California found that the number of coronavirus cases in one county may actually be up to 85 times higher than what health officials have tallied and say their data may help better estimate the virus's true fatality rate.
		Earlier this month, Stanford University-led researchers tested 3,330 adults and children in Santa Clara County who were recruited using Facebook ads for coronavirus antibodies and found that the population prevalence of coronavirus in Santa Clara ranged from 2.49% to 4.16%.
		The most important implication of these findings is that the number of infections is much greater than the reported number of cases.
		So, and this is what we've been talking about since the beginning.
		I know it's been beat to death and you probably get it at this point, but this is what we've said since the start.
		At first it was lack of testing, right?
		The discrepancy between the number of actual infections that existed in America, the difference between that number and the number of confirmed reported cases.
		The discrepancy was caused by the fact that nobody was getting tested.
		So people are out there with coronavirus symptoms or syndromic cases.
		But they weren't getting tested and therefore they weren't being counted.
		That was the initial discrepancy.
		Now that we are cleaning up the testing infrastructure and the testing has been made available across the country and it's been made quick and cheap and people can do drive-thru testing.
		Now that we've administered 3 million tests and 120,000 per day.
		Now the discrepancy is not completely a result of that although of course you still do have people that are You know, they are not yet symptomatic or they are symptomatic but they haven't been tested and confirmed.
		But now the big source of the discrepancy and a huge source of that discrepancy between the actual number of infections and the tested is the fact that even the testing, even if you test everybody that has symptoms, that is not going to report all the people that do not have symptoms.
		And we don't know what that number looks like.
	And it looks like it's been trending up for months.
	It seems like the more time goes on, the more we find out how just how many people, the scale of how many people in Europe and in the United States and elsewhere that have the virus but have never manifested symptoms and will never manifest symptoms and therefore will never be counted.
	And so if you're taking the percentage of dead out of the total number of cases, it's going to be artificially much higher because you don't have Right, but we've explained this.
	You don't have the total number of infections.
	It says, symptomatic carriers of coronavirus have long been a concern for health officials and others who are looking to get a grasp on how prevalent the virus is.
	The researchers also concluded that detecting previously unreported coronavirus cases could also lead to a better estimation of the fatality rate from coronavirus.
	According to the researchers, they say, quote, They said, They said, And our study suggests that adjustments for under ascertainment the researchers, they say, quote, They said, And our They said, And our study
	So under ascertainment of the total number of cases, the estimate of how much they're underestimating, under ascertaining how many cases, should be much higher.
	In other words, we should expect that there are way more cases out there that are asymptomatic than previously thought.
	The researchers did note that the study had several limitations.
	including that participants had to have access to Facebook and a car to attend drive-thru testing sites.
	And those factors resulted in an over-representation of white women between the ages of 19 and 64 and an under-representation of Hispanic and Asian populations.
	However, once adjustments were made, the researchers said the results could be applied to other areas.
	So, all of this being said, it's good news and they're talking about how it could be a 50 to 85 times greater number of asymptomatic cases.
	The study is flawed because when you're looking at the demographics that are worst affected by the coronavirus, particularly probably in California, the worst affected have been minorities.
	Particularly Asians, because the virus came from Asia, and men.
	So if they have an over-representation of white women between the ages of 19 and 64, in other words, probably the group that's least likely to have the virus in terms of age, sex, and race, Then the degree to which they are overestimating the number of or rather underestimating the number of asymptomatic carriers is probably less than it actually is based on the study, right?
	Because if they were testing all the Asians and blacks and Man, you probably get wildly different numbers.
	So, we'll have to see how that all shakes out once they factor in for these different demographic groups and then see how that applies in other areas, but it is an optimistic sign because what this tells us is that if the death rate is 10 times lower than what we thought it was, then it will have a death rate that is similar to Other diseases that are conventional and that we deal with all the time.
	And if that's the case, then reopening the economy rapidly, even if we did a too soon, too quick reopening, it probably wouldn't be as catastrophic as other people projected or predicted, which would be good.
	Ultimately, that would mean that not a lot of people are going to die.
	We can achieve herd immunity without millions dead, without an unconscionable body count.
	And so to me that would be a very good thing.
	So we'll keep an eye on what that death rate is going to be but that is the variable to watch and it's incredible that even all this time out we still have like basically no idea about any of these numbers.
	It's striking that three months into this Right, yeah, just about three months, going back to mid-January.
	We still don't know about the origin of the virus.
	We still have no confirmation about where it came from.
	And I remember doing this conversation back in January.
	And we were talking about different studies, talking about how the World Health Organization was taking samples of all kinds of different species of animals.
	At the wet market, they were talking about snakes and bats and wolves and everything.
	And that conversation basically just went away.
	People stopped talking about the origin and the conversation about the fatality rate.
	Even back then we were talking about what is the death rate going to be.
	Initially it was way underreported because China was underreporting their numbers and then people thought that it could be much higher because in Italy the death rate was I think 10% at one point comparing the deaths to the confirmed cases.
	And now in the United States the death rate appears to be around 5% and that's expected to go down the more people get tested but nevertheless here we are still three months later and we literally have no idea we have no idea how many asymptomatic people there are this is just the best guess yet based on the most current data and the most current methods now that they've developed the antibody test Well, we basically still have no idea how many asymptomatic there are.
	We have no idea what the death rate, the true and actual death rate is.
	And if that's the case, we have no idea to what extent this is actually a severe threat.
	Because all the hype about shutting down the economy and social distancing, the reason that everybody is doing that Is because if the death rate is 4%, then to have 150 million people get sick is going to result in millions dead over a period of maybe several years.
	And if you stretch that out, if that's inevitable, but you stretch it out over three years, the economy is able to cope with that many people in hospitals and dead.
	But if the death rate is 10 times less than that, if it's 0.3%, then we're talking about something on par with the common flu, with influenza, right?
	In terms of proportionality, how many people end up dead.
	Even if they don't have an immunity, how many people wind up dead ultimately.
	So it's a pretty big number that we still don't know about.
	And it almost leads me to believe that maybe the government knows more than we do about this.
	And that's why everything's so up in the air, because I know I struck a very different tone like last week than I have for the past few weeks.
	Because you look at the rate of transmission in Asia, and you don't see any major outbreaks in Asia outside of China.
	And you look at the hospitalizations in New York, and it's way under what was anticipated, right?
	They said 140,000 hospitalizations would be required.
	It was 19,000 at the peak last week.
	And there's just so much fog surrounding what we don't know, but also what we don't know we don't know.
	In other words, to what extent are these unknowns truly unknown, and to what extent is the government just not telling us the truth?
	And that encapsulates the extent to which we are in the dark about this situation.
	Because you look at the death rate, and even something like the origin of the virus, and probably somebody knows what those numbers actually look like and what the source actually is, but we're just not being told.
	And I think about things like the personal protective equipment like the masks, is the best case example of this, where remember when all of this started, Both the World Health Organization and the government and the media told us do not wear masks.
	And they didn't say don't wear masks because hospitals need them and they're a priority for doctors and healthcare workers.
	And for people that are infected, they said that a mask will not protect you, which is a lie and very different from the actual truth.
	And so that gets back to the question of, well, what is actually unknown and was just being kept from us?
	Because in that case, it's not like they didn't know that masks would protect you from contracting the coronavirus.
	It's not like they didn't know that a respiratory infection is airborne and could be aerosolized And in certain medical contexts when it's aerosolized it hangs in the air for hours.
	It's not like they didn't know that and they're scrambling to figure that out and they discovered that that was the case.
	They knew that but they just didn't tell us because they had another agenda.
	They were trying to achieve something that if they told everybody it would thwart that Objective, that directive, which was to prioritize the masks for hospitals.
	And of course I understand the idea that hospitals would need masks before people, but when they tell us that we just don't need them and people go out and take unnecessary risks, what that does is it undermines the trust in the institutions.
	And then people like me, and people like you then, as a consequence, are saying, well, what can we actually believe from the government?
	When they say they don't know, How can we really trust that that's the case?
	And the things that they say they do know, how can we say that that is the case?
	And for a lot of people, this is life and death.
	To what extent they're going to go to work, to what extent they're going to go buy things, to what extent they're going to go out in public.
	I imagine that people died because they didn't wear masks.
	You know, and that's one example, and I'm kind of beating it to death, but that's one example, and the best example.
	That's the most clear-cut and obvious one, and the most striking one.
	I would bet that people went out and actually died because they went out to Walmart, or they went to work, or they went to school, or whatever.
	Maybe people that are high risk, elderly, people with pre-existing conditions.
	And they were told by the WHO, and they were told by the media, and they were told by the government that a mask is going to make no difference in the extent to which you could contract the virus.
	That a mask will not protect you.
	It offers the same protection as wearing nothing at all.
	And so I'm sure based on that, people did not wear masks.
	They subjected themselves to unnecessary risk.
	And if that's the case in a country of 330 million people with nearing a million infections and maybe 85-fold times more than that because of asymptomatic carriers, then probably people got severe cases and died because of that.
	And so at this stage in the game, You know, a lot of people like me and other pundits are scrambling to interpret information, but it's so difficult because we also have to interpret the uncertainty and the possibility of ulterior motivations and lies from the people that are reporting the information.
	And not just China, and not just the World Health Organization, but even our own government and our own medical experts.
	And you factor in all the different agendas that are in play in a crisis like this, From all the different actors involved, which is foreign state actors, the international transnational governments, our own government, private businesses, Bill Gates, And this is the big problem with information in this century.
	You know, I hate to keep extrapolating it out, but it's really like, could not come at a worse time than now, when you have, what did they say in 2016?
	That the word that defined the last election was post-truth?
	You have this post-modern idea of There really is no truth.
	Nobody knows what's real.
	Maybe there is no reality.
	It's only perceptions or, you know, the Scott Adams idea of watching two movies, which I, by the way, I think is retarded, but you know what I'm saying?
	It couldn't come at a worse time, a public health emergency, when you need, you need the most up-to-date, reliable information from medical experts and doctors and the government.
	To make decisions about your health and your family now more than ever we need some rock in terms of what can we say is without a doubt reliable is mostly reliable is mostly trustworthy and this is how we base our decisions.
	But we have no idea because of the influence of money and the influence of money from governments and other people and other agendas and to some extent maybe it's always been like this but I don't think it's ever been this bad.
	And you know that certain people like Fauci and Bill Gates and Tedros and all the others, they have a vested interest in keeping the country closed forever.
	And it's not hard to see why.
	When you look at the incentives, the longer that this crisis endures, the more money and power that people like Bill Gates and Fauci and the World Health Organization have.
	Had anybody heard of Fauci in the World Health Organization before March?
	Maybe some of you have, but most people did not.
	And now these are people that are tasked with making big decisions.
	Who are the governors and the president deferring to, to make decisions?
	And if they're deferring to their expertise, well who's really governing the country at that point?
	Doctors, these so-called researchers and scientists, people who we think are above political or other motivations or agendas, these are now the people who have rapidly ascended to power and are making economic decisions and national security decisions, and decisions that are pursuant to the governing of the biggest and most important country in the world.
	And so clearly, these people benefit from the scaremongering.
	Conversely, And at the same time, you have private businesses, and the stock market, and billionaires, and even the government to some extent, Donald Trump, who stand to gain from reopening the country.
	And so they have a vested interest to downplay the virus because the more that people are unemployed, and the more that they're not earning, and the more that they're not working, and the more that they're not spending, The less profit, revenue, dividends, the more the stock market goes down.
	So that's where you see Craigslist advertisements from certain shady corporations that are paying people by the hour to go on Twitter and demand that the government reopen the economy and everybody should go back to work.
	So they have a vested interest in minimizing the crisis.
	And understand that nowhere in this power structure, nowhere in this apparatus, and we could talk about other interests like the media, who is trying to just cause trouble for the president, or China, who is trying to deceive the world and dependent on America or Italy.
	But just looking at those two polls, nowhere in this information complex do you have any institution that is actually working to deliver the truth, that their vested interest is actually the welfare of the people, and making sure that the people are safe and protected, and making sure that the people are safe and protected, not just from the virus, but also economic mayhem.
	Everywhere you have to have a little bit of doubt about what is the true agenda there.
	And that is not actually a great country that...
	That's not actually a great scheme to endure a public health emergency like this.
	This is one that is actually obviously having and has had profound implications.
	So, I don't know.
	Do you play it too safe?
	Do you take a risk?
	It seems to me like the coronavirus is a lot less severe than we knew.
	But how can we really know at this point?
	I mean, what I've been seeing over the past few weeks is probably that we are not going to see a catastrophic pandemic.
	And I know that maybe three or four weeks ago we were talking about hospitals overburdened and death panels and triages being set up and parking lots and mass death and millions dead and things like that.
	But clearly, and based on just everything that I've read, when you're looking at the asymptomatic carriers, which is pertaining to the death rate, when you're looking at the rate of hospitalizations, you're looking at the rate of death that we've seen, the projected total number of dead, all of this has been trending downward.
	And that leads me to believe, based on trying to interpret everything that's been said, based on qualifying everything with all the different agendas and motivations and everything, it seems to me like this is not going to be a catastrophic, cataclysmic event.
	That doesn't mean that we're not going to be dealing with it for three years.
	Understand that doesn't mean that we're not going to still see coronavirus cases, and that doesn't mean that we're not going to still see people die from coronavirus, and that we're not even going to see tens or maybe hundreds of thousands of people die.
	But it's not going to be the civilization-changing, world-ending event that we thought it would be.
	Still, you know, a world historical event, and still an inflection point, but maybe not what was projected before.
	But then again, who knows what we'll see next week, or in two weeks, or three weeks.
	It's very possible that in a few months, the virus could mutate, or it comes back with a vengeance, or once social distancing stops, it comes back bigger than before.
	I mean, we really just have no idea.
	The uncertainty is so high right now that it's very difficult to read between the lines and parse out the truth from the fiction.
	But as of right now, it looks like things are going a lot better, especially given the idea that there's more asymptomatic carriers.
	I would say that that's probably the best available sign because this is something that was just simply not being talked about three months ago.
	It was just not in the conversation about just how many people might be carrying the virus but not even getting symptoms, let alone getting severe symptoms and dying.
	And so that number has continued to increase exponentially and speculation about how big that population is has gone up and maybe how many people actually have the antibodies.
	Obviously that's going to make it a lot easier to reopen and a lot less lethal, so that leads me to believe, based on that, that Maybe a lot of this was for naught, but you know then again hindsight is 20-20.
	So that's the antibody test.
	The other big development, and that was our featured story, but the other big development is on the testing.
	And this to me is actually where I'm probably the most confident about the reaction from the government.
	And we talked about these numbers earlier, but this is from the BBC.
	It says quote, Vice President Mike Pence says states have enough test kits in supply to begin moving to phase one of the plan that the White House outlined on Thursday.
	He says that 120,000 tests are being done each day in hospitals around the U.S., and more than 3 million tests have been conducted in total.
	So, if you're looking at those numbers, and we've been kind of monitoring that sporadically over the past couple of weeks, but when we were looking at the testing initially, when the first cases were reported in the United States, and the first outbreaks happened in Washington State and New York, I don't know if you guys remember, but Proportionally, and in terms of just total numbers, the testing was the worst in the world, hands down.
	Even worse than Iran, worse than Europe, worse than any other place in the world.
	We were testing 5 people for every 1 million people in the country.
	And in South Korea, it was in the thousands.
	In Italy, it was in the hundreds.
	Literally anywhere else had better testing than America.
	And like I said at the top of the show, our total testing capacity, which is the maximum that we could ever hope to do, which is maxing out on laboratories, maxing out on technicians and personnel to process these manual tests, was 20,000 per day.
	On average, South Korea, I think, was doing like 15 to 20,000 every day.
	I don't remember all the exact figures, but I mean it was really, really bad.
	And in a short amount of time, we have now ramped up to 120,000.
	So we took our maximum capacity and multiplied that by six, which is huge.
	You know, you think about how quickly that paradigm has changed from manual tests that took weeks, that there was only a capacity for this very small amount, so now it's automatic, it takes five minutes, and you're doing more than 100,000 per day, and you've reached up to 3 million tests per day.
	This is going to be the critical variable in reopening the country because the more that people get tested, and who knows if we're going to test 300 million people or 100 million people, but if we're doing 120,000 tests per day for months on end, you know, eventually you're going to get to the point where we're going tests per day for months on end, you know, eventually you're going to get to the point where We'll be able to confirm the true scope of how many infections, and then we can ascertain a real death rate.
	And that is really going to be what's going to drive that recovery.
	The more testing that happens with antibodies and the more testing that happens with positive coronavirus cases, the more knowledge and information we have about how many cases there are and to what extent people are dying, the more we can assess the risk associated with people going back to work and going back to school and all the rest.
	And the sooner that that happens, the sooner that we can go back to our lives And get the news going again, and get movies going again, and restaurants going again, and people can leave their houses.
unidentified		And I don't know, in some sense it's almost like...
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼		It feels like winter vacation is ending, you know?
		It almost feels like winter break is ending and now it's time to... Now it's time to return.
		Fun's over.
		It's almost like... And maybe this sounds like morbid or maybe this sounds wrong to say, but... You ever feel like when it rains outside or there's a big storm that you're almost kind of like cozy inside?
		The storm comes and it's like, well...
		Can't go outside?
		Guess I'll just hang out inside and schmood and watch TV or a game or whatever.
		And then I always feel like this when it stops raining.
		It's like, oh man, it's like I was cozy.
		It felt like we were sheltered in place.
		And now it's like, aw, bummer, now I gotta go, now I gotta go run errands.
		Now I gotta go, you know, in this case, now I gotta go back to work, or gotta go back to school, or gotta go socialize and do whatever again.
		So, you know, maybe it's not the happening that we thought it would be.
		It's almost like the worst happening that we could have asked for.
		The most anticlimactic happening.
		We've been asking on this show for years.
		For something big, something exciting, something interesting to happen to make us feel alive, to make us feel like something still can happen, that the course of events still can change.
		And I thought we were going to get one.
		I thought it was going to be, well, we got this happening with the pandemic and it's not as exciting as we thought.
		It's boring, but at least it's a happening.
		And now as we kind of get over that peak, it's like, no, it turned out that wasn't happening at all.
		It was almost A non-happening, it was an anti-happening that suspended all news in the world for months and teased us a little bit and now we just go back to the way things were I guess right now it's just right back to the status quo.
		I hope that the big story that comes out of this ultimately is the revenge because My real ambition now or the real long-term vision for me now is what is going to be done to China and the World Health Organization when all is said and done.
		It's far less interesting to me at this point what the return to normalcy looks like.
		What's more interesting to me now is to what extent are we going to alter what normalcy looks like because that is what must be done now.
		Now that things are stabilizing and appearing to re-solidify and what was once in flux and once chaotic and once uncertain is now becoming much more concrete and certain and status quo.
		And so we have to act very quickly to mold what the new post-coronavirus world looks like as this begins to subside and let up.
		You know, it's almost like when you think about An ironsmith or a glass maker you know when they heat up steel they heat up metal so that it becomes hot and when you think about that on an atomic level when you heat something up you know everything becomes a lot less structured and a lot less stable.
		I'm not like a chemist or anything but you understand basically this is the process and when that happens that's when you're able to mold steel.
		That's when you're able to mold metals or hard materials.
		Once they solidify, can't change their shape anymore.
		It's the same with the country.
		When the country is hot, and when the country is chaotic, and there's a lot of uncertainties and variables, that is when you can mold it to where you want it to be.
		But the more that it cools off and the more that it begins to take shape, and that taking shape process, the molding is guided by Bill Gates and the World Health Organization and the government and the deep state, the more that they are going to reforge it into a renewed or even a stronger status quo. the more that they are going to reforge it into So I'm a lot more interested, not so much at this point in, well, will I be able to go to McDonald's and press on the screen without washing my hands?
		I'm more concerned with how are we going to penalize China?
		Because that must be the next concern.
		How are we going to reshape the world order in our image after this?
		To what extent can we do that?
		We'll probably win the election in 2020 based on this and a lot of other factors we've talked about with the election.
		We'll probably win in 2020 and we'll probably win the House with a renewed mandate, especially now with the coronavirus, to reshape the globalist world order.
		What are we going to do about it?
		How are we going to change trade?
		How are we going to change immigration?
		How are we going to change our relationship with supranational institutions?
		We have to have an answer for that.
		And not just an answer, but we have to have a game plan.
		We have to have, logistically and in terms of practical politics, how are we going to begin to influence these institutions using the coronavirus as a pretext and as a mandate to do those things.
		Because if, and it's like, It would be hard to overstate.
		What a giant series of missed opportunities this administration will have been.
		If you win the election in 2016, you have the coronavirus pandemic, you win re-election, and if all is said and done in 2024, you don't have a wall, you don't have a paradigm change in what the GOP looks like, what conservatism looks like, you don't have a paradigm change in our relationship to the world, or China, or the United Nations.
		That is like suicidal levels of missed opportunities.
		That is like bought a winning lottery ticket and like threw it in a dumpster and you could never find it.
		That is like a level of missed opportunity that you will never forget for the rest of your lives and will go down in the history books historically that future generations will weep about it.
		And it cannot be overstated!
		Think about that!
		That Donald Trump would stage this impossible comeback for nationalism and populism and immigration restriction, protectionism, non-interventionism.
		He wins.
		He wins the House.
		He wins the Senate.
		You know the Senate works out where it's favorable for Republicans for not just in 2016 but in 2018 and in 2020.
		And then you get a pandemic and China's to blame and the WHO is complicit and like And they called you racist for closing down the borders, and imagine if after all of that, you win re-election, you win back the House, there's a mandate against China, the black people are on board, you paid them money, and after all that, it was squandered, and we spent those political dividends on, like, another tax cut, or on a bailout for Boeing, or on Wall Street.
		I don't think I would ever be able to get over that.
		I think that That would probably be equivalent to like a loved one dying or like
		Getting amputated getting like a limb amputated or getting permanent brain damage I mean it would be like up there in terms of things that scar you for life things that you would just never get over Things that would be best just to not think about you know lest you get plunged into depression for weeks because you think about the magnitude of this opportunity before us and what we are currently living through you know not just ahead of us, but that we are in and that we have passed and
	And if nothing is done, man, like there would just be no forgiveness.
	There, I could not, there'd be no clemency.
	As much as I love Donald Trump.
	If we blow it now, we deserve to die, man.
	We deserve to just be eradicated, frankly, because it is impossible to overstate what we're looking at.
	Imagine if this was the Democrats, you know?
	Imagine if Barack Obama won a kind of landslide, come from behind victory like Trump did, was handed a major crisis like this, You know, could you imagine what the Democrats would do?
	I mean, it would be unstoppable.
	It would be all the worst fears of like Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin would have been realized.
	There would have been, you know, people marching down the street with those, you know, that Obama logo, the O with the flag and it looks like a field with the sky over it.
	There would be people marching down the streets with like, you know, Obama armbands and they would be, you know, he would declare America a Muslim country and It would turn socialist and, you know, Ben Carson talking about neo-Marxists controlling your healthcare.
	He would blackmail you with government healthcare.
	If Obama was handed these opportunities, we would be living in, like, you know, all those fears would be realized in, like, boomer memes.
	When they do the Soviet imagery of Marx and Lenin and Stalin and Obama, it would become reality.
	Trump has handed all of this and he's like watching television.
	He's eating ice cream and Big Macs.
	So I hope that he's got a plan for this.
	I hope somebody's in there.
	I know somebody's in there.
	I know that person.
	Maybe he's... I hope he's working on it in there on the inside.
	But we'll see.
	As always, we're gonna monitor the situation and we'll keep an eye on it.
	But that's the latest with the testing and everything.
	And, uh, you know, like I said, not much, not much, like, real news there today.
	Not much like, like, yesterday where we had the big phase agreement and all that.
	But we're gonna move on and take a look at our Super Chats.
	We'll see what you guys are saying about all this tonight.
	And we'll see.
	Not a ton.
	Not a ton of news.
	But a plea, but a plea to our leader, a plea to our leader, Donald Trump, you know, if we're going to do an optical salute, a plea to our leader, if he can just put America first at this time, you know, that would be really something.
	Let's take a look.
	We've got Giants, who says, PaleoCon John beat Hunter Avalon today on Instagram.
	I didn't see that.
	I was sleeping when that happened.
	Soviet Henry says, don't read this Nick.
	Soviet Henry says, nothing but holy smokes.
	Thanks for the ninja.
	Yeah, that joke is still funny, man.
	Still funny.
	I'm gonna say thanks for the Ninjet, but really it's a diamond.
	Yeah, I've seen this a hundred times.
	It gets funnier every time.
	Catholic Canadian says, Hey Nick, is the Febophilia based or cringe?
	Uh, shut up.
	Okay, we're really off to a rough start here, man.
	Talk about, thank God it's Friday.
	I'm ready to just, okay, I'm ready to just pull away from the desk.
	Right?
	These are our first Super Chats.
	Don't read this.
	Nothing, but thanks for the Ninjet.
	Hey Nick, is the Feb Affiliate based or cringe?
	Can you just shut up?
	Can you just shut up and not Super Chat anymore?
	Have a bad one.
	Says, what could escalate war escalation or what could war escalation with China look like now?
	I misread that.
	What could war escalation with China look like now?
	Well we're not going to go to war with China because you know and people get silly about this and they say you know war with China you know China has nuclear weapons we have nuclear weapons China has defensive capabilities that probably match our offensive capabilities not quite but it's getting there
	You know you're looking at some of their torpedoes or missiles a lot of what they have developed in terms of defensive capabilities give them a disproportionate advantage so you know people are there talking about like a shooting war I think that's ridiculous I don't know what an escalation would look like.
	I imagine it would start with some kind of diplomatic thing, denouncing China, releasing all this information.
	And then it would probably take the form of sanctions and tariffs and other forms of economic or trade warfare.
	It would be similar to Russia.
	Because you understand that we've been in a state of, you know, essentially a Cold War with Russia since approximately 2008.
	You know, since Russia's incursion to Georgia, which was right around 2008, and then that obviously escalated, I think, in, what was it, 2014?
	When the Crimean referendum happened and the tanks rolling into the Donbass.
	You know, we've been in a state of cold or cool conflict with Russia for some time.
	And what form has that taken?
	Their, for example, manipulation of elections or their meddling in Syria or They're meddling in Ukraine.
	And you know, again, I'm, you know, a lot of people might dispute the characterization of some of these events, but I'm using, you know, just the general idea of what's being reported, how our government perceives it, what has been the government response to these perceived Russian antagonisms.
	It has taken the form of diplomatic and economic sanctions, right?
	Denouncing them in the U.N., denouncing them in formal addresses, and then sanctioning their economy, funding proxy adversaries, you know, for example, funding proxies of Iran or funding proxies of Syria, in Ukraine, shoring up governments there.
	So I would imagine that it would take a similar form in China that we would Aggressively try to go after their economy, maybe kick them out of the World Trade Organization, sanction them.
	We might incentivize companies to come back to the United States or to other countries like India or Vietnam or Japan or Taiwan or, you know, whatever.
	We might bolster our allies in the Pacific.
	That might be a military response.
	You know, bolstering Japan, maybe allowing Japan to have a military again and let them be more autonomous with that.
	Maybe bolstering Vietnam and some of these other countries in the area.
	Maybe, you know, some kind of a peace treaty or a defense pact, I mean.
	Maybe there would be carriers in the Pacific.
	I don't know exactly what the military aspect would look like, but probably something similar to Russia.
	Saber-rattling, economic sanctions, and diplomatic sanction, I think would be the approach.
	Because, you know, when you're looking at P5 countries, when you're looking at these nuclear countries and...
	You know, other great powers or world powers.
	It's not the same as Iraq or Syria where you drop bombs and there's no repercussions.
	You just do bombings and there's no penalty.
	There's no capability for them to respond.
	These are great powers.
	These are nuclear powers.
	They've got large and sophisticated conventional militaries.
	They're also very much interdependent with us and our economy and in other ways.
	So I would imagine that may be kicking them out of the WTO, declaring them a currency manipulator.
unidentified		I know!
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼		Sanctions, maybe some kind of resolution to condemn them in the GA.
		And then that kind of saber-rattling type stuff, this defensive pact, bolstering the allies, funding proxies, maybe that would happen.
		Penn Statist says Armenian Groyper is secretly Steve Franson.
		He does sound like him.
		Brovitz says, I watched the nightclub fire video gut-wrenching.
		I know, I told you, it's tough to watch.
		And you don't never want to catch yourself in a scene like that.
		Pretty terrifying.
unidentified		Something very eerie about that video.
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼		Scorch Titan says, Hey, I ship Fuentes and D'Amelio.
		I'm glad.
		So we've got one vote for that.
		We'll see.
		We'll make it happen.
		You see Jaden made his first TikTok today.
		I gotta make my first TikTok maybe this weekend or next week and then I'll be on the road to D'Amelio the road to my wife Dixie D'Amelio or maybe Charlie maybe that road is long maybe the road is two years long and by the time we reach the end of the road she is the ripe age of 17 that beautiful arbitrary age of consent age and that'll be uh You know, totally legal and totally kosher and everyone will like that.
		Nobody will dislike that.
		So, we'll see.
		Scorch Titan says, you two could do a Carmel dancing video collab.
		I don't know what that is.
		Dallas, maybe we'll duet each other's videos.
		Dallas Griper says, lol white fragility proceeds to ruin two people's lives because their feelings got hurt over a TikTok.
		Thanks for the Ninjagini, but I'm not sure what you're talking about.
		What, uh...
		I don't follow the TikTok e-drama very closely just yet.
		I'm not sure what you're talking about.
		It's no secret that minorities are the most fragile people that exist.
		Especially this new generation of militant anti-white minorities.
		It's a definition of fragility.
		They think that you're strong by chimping out at every slight provocation and being totally unhinged.
		That's the opposite of what it means to be anti-fragile.
		What it means to not be fragile is to be unflappable.
		Is that the word?
		Unflappable?
		Where it's difficult to get a rise out of you, you're not quick to lose your temper, that kind of thing, you know?
		And they think that white fragility is... I don't know.
		So yeah, no, it's no secret that there's a lot of, a lot of fragility to go around, but thanks for the Ninjagini.
		Not sure about your specific, the specific TikTok drama you're talking about.
		Med says, my mom loves the show and today's her birthday.
		Would you please wish Joanne a happy birthday?
		Happy birthday, Joanne.
		Hope it's a good one.
		Thanks for the Ninjagini.
		Thanks for watching the show.
		Thanks for the support.
		We love moms, right?
		Mom, respect her logging on.
		Do you think I'm low inhibition?
		Is that what you think?
		I don't know.
		I don't see myself as low.
		Austin tomorrow.
		Ah, very good.
		Mayberry says, how can I be high T, low inhibition as you?
		Do you think I'm low inhibition?
		Is that what you think?
		I don't know.
		I don't see myself as low.
		What is inhibition necessarily?
		What is the actual self-conscious?
		I feel like I'm just as self-conscious as everybody.
		But, you know, I'm just...
		The one thing that I do is talk on this show and generally about politics and I'm confident doing that, but that doesn't mean I'm like low inhibition generally.
		I still...
		I'm probably high inhibition.
		You know, like, you won't catch me doing a TikTok dance.
		Too self-conscious to do that.
		I can't dance.
		I can't, I can't do anything like, you know, really like that.
		So, but generally, to be, uh, to put yourself out there, you know, what I found worked for me is when I was in, like, high school, I remember I used to get nervous in speech team.
		When I was, like, a freshman, I remember getting, like, very nervous before my first few speech team events.
		And I would be in the hallway pacing back and forth, like, I don't remember my lines.
		I'm not going to do this right.
	And then I realized, I was like, wait a minute.
	I'm never going to see these people again.
	I'm never going to see these people again.
	If I look dumb, it doesn't matter because even if they perceive me as being awkward, I'm never going to see them again.
	And moreover, these people are stupider than me.
	I would think like, I'm going to go into that classroom and there's going to be some fat ass speech coach who probably has 105 IQ, who went to some state school and got a master's degree in education, you're a dummy, okay?
	Not like you're a dumb person if that's your route, but I don't need to fear your judgment of me because I don't care what you think of me.
	You're fat.
	You know, you're wearing a graphic t-shirt.
	You probably watch, like, Marvel superhero movies and nerd out about it.
	Your boyfriend probably is in, like, a band or something and has long hair.
	Like, you're probably lame, okay?
	You probably suck and I'm way cooler than you.
	Why would I give a shit what you think?
	You're lame to begin with and I'll never see you again.
	So then, once I thought that, I went in there and I'm like, fuck you, you know?
	I'm coming in here Puffin' my chest out, head held high, you know.
	I was gonna say something else, but I'm in there and I'm like ready to go.
	And I'm ready to go, ready to rock.
	And, you know, I'm in there like I don't give a shit.
	Like I don't know nobody.
	Right?
	So...
	I'm on my van go.
	I don't hear shit.
	So, that is what helped me very early on.
	That's what I used to think about a lot when I used to get nervous.
	I don't get so nervous anymore because I've just done public speaking for years and a million times.
	What I struggle with is a lot of the social stuff.
	I'm not a social butterfly.
	I hate parties.
	I really just don't have it in me to Be like, oh, hi.
	You know, like to go approach people and be like, hi, I'm Nick.
	Who are you?
	Mostly because I just am not interested in that, but also it's just like, no, it's just not for me, you know?
	So I would still consider myself high inhibition, but you know, if you really need to get over that, it's not hard, I think.
	King of Vibing says, why do I feel like fat people are all mentally deficient in some way?
	Big Piggy, Automatons.
	I think most of them are, but I mean obviously there are some fat smart people.
	Thanks for the Ninjagini.
	I think you have to be kind of dumb to get fat, honestly.
	Because if you're really smart, you wouldn't allow yourself to get fat.
	How smart are you if you allow yourself to balloon up and become obese?
	You know what I mean?
	You can't actually be very smart.
	In the long run, so yeah, I generally agree.
	I think it's just because they look dumb.
	I think it's because they look stupid.
	Maybe it's not so much that they are stupid, so much as they look stupid, you know?
	It's like, they look like dummies.
	Like, you look like a big balloon animal.
	You look like a big inflated puffer fish or something.
	Like a big fatso.
	You look like a dummy, you know?
	How could I take anybody seriously with, like, big red cheeks, you know?
	And this, like, just a fat, you know, fat fucking head, like... I think it's more perception, maybe.
	That's not how I feel.
	I love everyone.
	I love the community.
	I love community guidelines, but I think that's the perception.
	Do you really not believe in dinosaurs or is it irony, bro?
	I'm not going to answer that actually.
	Akimism says Nibba's in here.
	I love when people do that.
unidentified		So is that a joke or are you being an irony bro?
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼		I think you're being a faggot if you want to know the truth.
		Are you actually gay or are you just being ironic?
		Like do you actually like men?
		Are you actually 55 or are you just ironically being a gay boomer?
		Please advise.
		Please send in another diamond and let me know.
		If you see anybody in my chat, in Venti's chat, I want them banned.
		I want them gone.

		A lot of people report to me.
		I've got eyes and ears everywhere.
		They tell me that they'll see people in my live chat and then maybe they'll go into another stream or another stream will be on the front page and they'll go in there and they'll see people that are in my chat one day saying, no egirls, we hate simps.
		They'll see them in an egirls chat simping and donating lemons and so on.
		So if you see any of that, I want those people gone.
		I want them gone.
		Interdimensional says, thy trump bucks thou art given.
		I don't know what that means.
		Based St.
		Louis says, was debating sex before marriage earlier.
		My crush saw and turns out she's based.
		Date coming soon.
		Very exciting.
		Congratulations to you.
		Thanks for the Ninjagini Batman.
		You saved the day once again.
		Very happy.
		Millennial Welder says, where should men who love musicals be put?
		Um, you know, I think musicals are generally pretty gay, frankly.
		Um, I know some people are like, no, no, it's like high culture or something.
		Although, honestly, I think it really, like, it's hard for me to look at theater and, like, because I used to do stage crew in middle school and, you know, I knew theater kids in high school.
		They all hated me because they were all, like, feminists and lesbians and Gay people, and they were all ultra-liberal, and it's hard for me to look at, like, that crowd, and that scene, and it's hard for me to look at, like, Broadway, like, all the actors in Broadway, and be like, like, like I could enjoy that, you know what I mean?
		That, like, bros could be like, no, bro, it's totally cool, we're gonna go watch Cats, we're gonna go watch Fiddler on the Roof, like, I don't know if maybe I'm just a Philistine, maybe I'm just like, I don't possess generational wealth, so I don't get it, But the only musical that I like, like, are like the old Hollywood musicals like Yankee Doodle Dandy is a perfect example.
		James Cagney, Americana, classic Hollywood.
		Like that's a good movie.
		That I will watch.
		That is a good musical.
		But...
		Maybe it's a modern thing.
		I'm not really literate enough in the subject to tell you what the story is with that, but it definitely seems like back in the day it was cooler when Frank Sinatra was doing it and all the oldies were doing it, and now it just seems like liberal stronghold and and now it just seems like liberal stronghold and fag central and femoid central and particularly sick women, like offals.
		It seems like that very unholy alliance between offals and gay men.
		They tend to coalesce around this, among other things, but definitely that.
		So where should men who love musicals be put?
		Then again, I don't know about people that are like, oh, you like musicals?
		Like, it's like, whatever.
		You like what you like.
		I'm not like, I don't lay awake at night thinking about, you know, men who are not macho enough to dislike musicals, but I just find it to be cringe.
		Based Italians has the feel when you patrolled the fat chick on Twitter.
		Okay.
		Uh, Based Italians is going to need a link for this intro king.
		Okay.
		That's really good.
		Elrin, gonna need a link.
		That's great.
		Elrin says, thanks for showing up on time.
		Yeah, I always do.
		BasedItalian says, when are we gonna get some newfangled merch?
		Whenever Pantherden or Jake Lloyd start selling it.
		Mega says, the back of my, just ban this guy.
		He's gotta, he's gotta go.
		BasedItalian, you're making me ashamed to be Italian.
		Just one bad one after another.
		Just, and just bottom of the barrel cringe here.
		I need a link for this intro.
		I need newfangled merch.
	Oh, you mean that meme that isn't even mine, that I neither said nor promoted or created?
	Yeah, why don't you go eat shit?
	Uh, Modern Monarchist says, My first Ninjagini ever, Nick!
	loving the beard you should oil it like the romans of old thanks for the nezgini the guy God bless you too, buddy.
	Thanks for the Ninjagini.
	Thank you.
	I'm glad you like the beard.
	I will definitely put oil in it like the Romans of old.
	Very based.
	Love to hear that.
	Thanks for the Ninjagini.
	I feel like in the Krusty Krab training video when Patrick is ordering and the narrator says, hey, why don't you suggest, or he says, remember, poop.
	He goes, Hey, Patrick, how about a Krabby Patty?
	Oh, that sounds great.
	What does he say?
	Like cheese on or something?
	And he starts slamming his head on the cash register.
	You know, I imagine Squidward tentacles smashing his head on the cash register.
	And that is just kind of how I feel in my job at this point.
	I've definitely become a Squidward.
	I used to be a SpongeBob.
	I'm ready.
	And now I'm a Squidward.
	Let's see, Alston Guns is also an RCIA and baptism got delayed.
	Sorry to hear that.
	Alston says, never hated another country as much as China.
	Wow.
	Rightleaf says, when's the first TikTok dropping, buddy?
	I don't know.
	Brovids says, thoughts on people setting 5G towers on fire?
	Based?
	Not based.
	The 5G stuff is cringe.
	There's nothing wrong with 5G.
	And, uh, it's just a myth.
	The 5G stuff is just, there's no... And, you know, I'm all for conspiracies or even funny stuff, but, like, that's just retarded.
	There's nothing... 5G towers are not cooking your brain.
	You know, these are like the people... I had a friend in high school who would put, like, a radiation case on his phone to protect his brain from the radiation from his phone.
	And I've heard people write, oh, no, no, it's legit, dude.
	The Wi-Fi and the cellular in your phone is radiating your brain.
	Really?
	You know, like, oh, so I guess we've all been being cooked by, like, TV and radio and all that.
	Like, maybe it's true.
	I haven't seen any compelling evidence for it, but I don't think it's based.
	AquariumGroper says, stop that quitter talk.
	Yeah, okay.
	Donnie and Groyper says I'll debate you on city planning and urban bikeways.
	I only debate people with clout.
	JustinKG says NuanceBro ever want to debate?
	He would be good.
	He doesn't want to debate me.
	I've challenged him before and he always backs down.
	He's like, no, I would debate if there'd be no ad hominems and like if we just had a discussion and like... Okay, so you're afraid.
	AquariumGroper says, no quitter talk.
	America first is inevitable.
	Stubby says, do you still look at Drudge or is it compromised?
	I never looked at Drudge.
	I mean, I like Drudge, but it's not like something I read every day.
	EntropicGrope says, Trump bucks from one king to another.
	Ah, thank you.
	Beedibe says, Jeff Sessions coming through with the moratorium.
	Yeah, I just wish he got the endorsement from Trump.
	Solid Snake says, I want a burger too, but my favorite place is closed.
	You don't know the burgers you got till they're gone.
	So true.
	Embrose says, are you going to stream the One World concert?
	Uh, maybe.
	Pat says, I'm a 34-year-old father of three.
	Your movement makes me optimistic for my kid's future.
	America first!
	Well, thanks for the Ninjagini.
	Great to hear it.
	I'm glad you are optimistic and glad that you are repopulating The White Race.
	We like to hear that.
	So, thank you.
	Hey, brother.
	Sup, brother?
	Recruited people via Facebook.
	Buy a sample.
	.1% of NYC has already died.
	Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	Okay, thanks for the Ninjagini.
	Yeah, so true.
	I don't know.
	Maybe people like you being able to read.
	Yeah, so true.
	Big Boots says, Hi, thanks for the Nijigini.
	Modern Monarchist says, I don't know.
	Maybe people like you being able to read.
	Pat says, Okay.
	Black Phillips says, JLP debating a thought on Killstream tonight after America First.
	Ah, I'll watch.
	Used Underwear says, How are you racist?
	You hate these super-rich elites.
	I don't know how one follows from the other.
	King Hippo says, do you think manscaping is gay?
	I absolutely think it's gay.
	And why would you need to do it, frankly?
	You know, you shouldn't be getting, like...
	The reason people manscape generally is, like, so that they can, you know, get women to blow them.
	And, you know, that's not something you should be doing.
	So, I think that there's no real practical benefit other than if you want to be a degenerate.
	I mean, maybe some people do a little trimming of just general body hair to make it more manageable.
	You know, some people do a little trimming.
	They don't shave themselves so that they're like a girl or like a little boy, but They do do a little, you know, there is a, I guess, a practical benefit in just making it more manageable so that it's, you know, reduced, like, friction and sweat and things like that.
	But I know that the meme that I've seen on, like, TikTok and elsewhere, I've even seen this in, like, advertisements.
	I see YouTube advertisements where it's like, do women think that it's good for a man's shape down there?
	And they're like, it's definitely more sexy.
	Have you seen that YouTube advertisement?
	How, you know, repulsive is that?
	But so that's generally, I think, why, you know, people think about that these days.
	But I generally, yeah, I generally do think it's gay, if you want to know the truth.
	I understand it if you're just doing, like, management.
	But generally, I think even that, like, just let it go, man.
	Just let it go Diz bro says everyone is either saying it's a hoax or end of the world.
	Thanks for the nuanced takes.
	That's me the nuanced, bro Thanks for the ninja genie used underwear says remember those who called for churches to be shut Yeah, see, I'm really not with that.
	I know a lot of people are being really dramatic about... But the bishops shut the churches.
	The bishops shut the church.
	Rome shut down the churches.
	So people are out there like, they're calling for churches to be shut down!
	Yes, actually, yes.
	Don't be an idiot.
	You're contributing to a pandemic.
	They shut churches down during other plagues and other pandemics.
	And so, to me, that's just the height of this posturing that I see and this irresponsibility.
	And I get it.
	You know, we are supposed to keep the Sabbath holy and go to church and receive the Eucharist.
	I get it.
	I totally get it.
	But we are also supposed to listen to Rome.
	We are supposed to listen to the bishops.
	And the bishops say, no church.
	Don't go to church.
	We're closing church.
	And we got all these fucking rebels.
	I hate rebels.
	I hate this rebellion that happens.
	You are not... I just don't get it.
	You know?
	Yeah, I'm Catholic.
	I believe that there is a vicar of Christ on Earth who is protected from error by God.
	I believe that there is a descendant of St.
	Peter who leads an earthly church.
	You know, obviously it's a holy church, but leads the church on Earth.
	But I don't like what they're saying.
	I'm just gonna do what I want because I know what's best.
	And I'm gonna do this and I know better.
	You don't get it, man.
	You just don't get it.
	It's just like I said the other day.
	Everybody's down with authority and hierarchy until they don't like what they hear.
	And that is this, you know, cursed...
	Like American thing.
	Maybe it's a liberal thing or a modern thing, but no, I want, it's about what I want.
	It's about what I think.
	It's like, who are you?
	500 years ago, you wouldn't even know how to read.
	You wouldn't even be allowed to read the Bible.
	And we got people now that I'm going to go to church, even if that means that I have to go to a church that's not in communion with Rome.
	Are you kidding me?
	I will go and take an illicit Eucharist.
	Missing the forest for the trees, big guy.
	So... Remember those who called for churches to be shut like it's so dramatic?
	Dude, they shut down everything!
	Peace be with you in a pandemic?
	What, are you kidding me?
	Everybody drinking out of the same wine glass and out of the same thing?
	That sounds like a great idea.
	For crying out loud.
	Use your head, man.
	Kyle says Hunter is gradually transforming into Vausch.
	Yeah, very true.
	It's gross.
	Polish Ameri- He's gonna start growing a little thing on his earlobe.
	He's gonna have one of those growths like Vausch does.
	The more liberal he gets, you're gonna start to see one of his ears will begin to grow a giant tumor.
	Some kind of giant bulbous... Boyle... Whatever the hell that is.
	Hunter's gonna- All the left-wing people are gonna grow one.
	It's just gonna be horrible.
	Let's see.
	Polish American says, ascertain, dump your Casey check.
	Good one.
	Harmonic says, Idaho isn't opening much, June 1st at the earliest.
	Well, I've heard that they're going to start loosening restrictions.
	Nova says, it's amazed how time stops when I watch America First.
	One hour is like five minutes because it's so engaging.
	Thanks for the ninja guineas.
	Unironically though, what I like about this show is that it is at a tempo that is for like high IQ people in the sense that I know that I watch a lot of content and I literally just can't watch it for more than 10 minutes because the pace is grating.
	You watch most content and it is at a snail's pace.
	And I know this show could probably do better in terms of production value with graphics and other things to keep it more clean and tidy but the pace of the show is fast so that if you're a smart person you are getting new information as fast as you can process it.
	I know that when I watch most content I like just get bored out of my mind because it's like okay like I get it.
	Like I was watching a documentary on the History Channel the other day.
	I was watching this documentary It's called Barbarians Rising.
	Have you ever seen this one?
	And it's about all the barbarian tribes over the course of Roman history.
	And it's a terrible documentary.
	There's a lot of, like, historical errors and, like, bullshit political stuff.
	Anyway, that's neither here nor there.
	But these History Channel documentaries in particular, it's like they do, you know, ten minutes of footage, a commercial break, and then they rehash what they just talked about for five more minutes.
	And it's the same footage, and it's the same... They just recap it, and it's like... I'm too fast for that kind of stuff.
	Like, I got it.
	Got it.
	Let's move on, you know?
	So...
	I unironically think that's why it is, because it engages your brain.
	Things drag on when you're bored, and when it's too slow, and you're just waiting for the next thing to be said, you know?
	So thanks for the Ninja Genie.
	I think there's something to that.
	Based St.
	Louis is normal after this.
	Will hopefully work in our favor.
	Can't wait.
	Yeah, I hope so too.
	Thanks for the Genie.
	Aunt Jemima says AF number one.
	Epic Swags says, Hey Nick, we would like to play Wii.
	Okay, OpticsRespector says, Do you think cancelling Chinese held debt as partial reparations for coronavirus is a good strategy?
	I don't know to what extent we could do that, like what mechanism would be in place to do that.
	I haven't really explored what the ramifications for that would look like.
	I would imagine it's not as simple as saying, Oh, your debt is canceled.
	We don't have to pay you anymore.
	I mean, I'm sure that would have ramifications on Like American debt and like our credit rating and all kinds of things like... Because China owns a significant... out of all the... I mean they don't... I mean people way overestimate how much debt China holds.
	But out of the percentage that they do hold, they're the biggest foreign holder of our debt.
	And I imagine that would have repercussions.
	I haven't looked into too closely what the implications are of that.
	So I can't really give you a good answer on this.
	I think that having China pay reparations in some form, if that's tariffs or sanctions or something, would be right, but I don't know about canceling the debt what the repercussions would be of that.
	I imagine it would be severe.
	Boy, but thanks for the Nijigini.
	Sorry I can't give you a great answer on that.
	Boy says, these super chats make me want to smash my own balls.
	Yeah, I can relate.
	Delayed Patriots says, JLP on the kill stream?
	Amazing!
	Yep.
	DKR says, what happened at Six Flags?
	Not sure what you're talking about.
	Thanks for the Ninjagini though.
	Jay Roxxer says, with an IQ of 200, how do you keep sane when everything is so dumb?
	That's a great question.
	I think I just spend a lot of time alone.
	Thanks for the Ninjagini.
	I don't even think I'm like, I probably don't have a super high IQ, I don't think, but Just the things that I see are just so grating just people that just don't get it You know, I don't know if it's an IQ thing so much as it is people that just Don't get it.
	You know people that are cringe or just you know, there are a lot of dumb people out there So I know my high IQ audience understands that most of the audience probably pretty high IQ.
	I Delayed Patriot says, about to go Chris Benoit mode on these weeds.
	Okay, disavow.
	Stolen User says, can I get another shout out for Christian Moms?
	Yeah, sure.
	T. James says, many friends and family hate Trump with a passion.
	Try to red pill them or leave it alone?
	I would leave it alone, but thanks for the Ninjagini.
	Umph says, so why is Jaden in Venti's chat though?
unidentified		Is he?
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼		I'll have to ask him about that.
		Jose Antonio with the Ninjagini, thanks.
		Duncan with the Ninjagini, thank you.
		Optics Respecter says, musicals are middle brow, opera is the way to go.
		Yeah, I'm just not a high culture person.
		Maybe I'll get there when I'm older, but at least for now, I think about opera and fine dining and all that, and it's just not me.
		And I was talking to somebody about this the other day.
		I don't have generational wealth.
		The rich are actually different.
		They are just different.
		They have, you know, table etiquette, and they know opera, and fine dining, and designers, and fashion, and they know about money.
		They just know things that us poor folk don't.
		That us people that, you know, we're not born with that generational wealth.
		That we just don't know.
		It's different.
		I almost feel like a phony, if I were to try and emulate that, and I'm not even interested in that.
		You know, I grew up eating, you know, like a regular Joe, and consuming entertainment like a regular Joe, and that's just who I am, and I don't know, maybe I'll aspire to do things that are more, like, tasteful or mature when I get older, but at least for now, I'm not interested in it, and I also just don't think it's really, it's like a class thing, really, more than anything.
		And people like to pretend that it isn't, but I generally believe that it is.
		It's sort of like in, it's like in the Grey Gatsby, you know?
		There's a big difference between these moneyed people and people that just were born without it.
		Polish American says, sat next to a theater kid, hated hearing his songs play.

		Good to see you, big guy.
		Good old Patrick Casey.
		He was looking pretty good the other day.
		I gotta say, you know, he was looking good.
		His hair was on fleek, I have to tell you.
		I know maybe that's a dated expression, but I was looking at it with great envy because my hair has been a disaster for a long time now.
		I haven't gotten a haircut in like six weeks.
		It's just a mess.
		And I'll tune into Patrick's stream and I'm like, this guy looks like a million bucks right now.
		So not in a weird way.
		Okay.
		Not in a weird way.
		It doesn't have to be weird.
		I'm just saying, I'm just admiring.
		I'm admiring my fellow King here.
		And I tuned in and I'm like, why is Patrick?
		Have such a kick-ass haircut, and I look like shit.
		My hair's like a disaster over here.
		It's getting shaggy and curly.
		Maybe he got a haircut.
		He cheated.
		He shaved.
		He's not taking the Corona beard challenge.
		So, whatever.
		That's Patrick Casey.
		He's always preening and pripping himself.
		Always so, ooh, I gotta look just right.

		Always, you know, manicured.
		Everybody knows that's Patrick.
		Very, uh...
		It's all about the look.
		Very vain.
		The pretty boy of the movement.
		He's so, so concerned about that.
		I'm more of like the rugged type.
		I'm more of like the, you know, monster trucks getting in the mud, football kind of a guy.

		Yeah, very cringe.
		Yeah, I remember my parents dragged me to see that when I was in like high school.
		Because my sister, my sister wanted to see Hamilton and my parents were like, yeah, we'll pay like, you know, $1,000 for those tickets.
		Like, oh, you know, I never recall any money being spent like that on something I want to do, but whatever.
		But in any case, not that it matters, not that I'm keeping score, but I remember we saw it and there's one line in there where they're like, immigrants get the job done!
		Because I guess what, like Alexander Hamilton was an immigrant and like one of the other founding fathers was, so, and one of the numbers that they did, they're like, we're immigrants, we get the job done!
unidentified		Everybody's like, yeah, that is so, take that Trump!
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼		And, uh, they're all black.
		Founding Fathers weren't black.

		Nope.
		Nick J says, drug alternatives, what do you use?
		I use Twitter mostly, but I read the New York Times, BBC, Fox, the Daily Wire, .Name, I use some others.
		So I take a look at a variety of sources, The Hill, You know, it depends on what's in the news.
		If it's more of like a political thing, like in D.C., I'll tend to look at The Hill or The Examiner or The Washington Times, you know, things like that.
		If it's something that is more general, I'll look at, like, NBC or, like, Fox or CNN, even, for that matter.
		Something, like, very general.
		So it kind of depends on what's in the news.
		I usually use Twitter to gauge what's being talked about, what's big, and then I look up and use sources based on that.
		But generally, BBC and Fox are my go-to.
		I don't know enough about it, honestly.
		sometimes.
