This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Bump bump, bump, bump bump bump bump bump bump everybody. A damn monitor, behave yourself, like is on its time to swaddle simultaneous model in effect. Well, have their ever been more news filled days than these? My goodness, my goodness, let me tell
It also things rattling. Somebody has invented a two way valve the terms ventilator into two ventilators. All it Isn t connection modifying, I assume they saw people modifying ventilators on their own and they said well will just make a part is just as little take it actually just stick it in boom. We doubled your ventilator capacity, pretty girl, very goal, so India, the country of India, which is either the biggest producer of I drug, secular, The queen, which I call these hashtag trump, fills because I don't like trying to figure out see the big words. So the tramp of pills are the high drug, see clerk cleaned and Lee
this room. Mason think just call them tramples. Hashtag tramples so anyway, the India is one of the biggest producers of the one that starts with age and they just announced a block exports, so one of, if not the biggest country that makes the drug that everybody these right now and appears to be in ITALY, the little bit a shortage in places? I don't know how much we do visibility on that, but the biggest country just decided that they're not gonna, give it anybody else now. Is that because it doesn't work, do you think that the country of India, you ve heard of India? only the country you further. They have a lot of people. There are quite a few people. You may have heard that there are smart people in India which is agreed.
Under statement. There really really smart people in India. Do you think that all the smartest people in India who and are really really really smart? Do you think that they blocked exports of this drug because it doesn't work, maybe no? No, they do not, So the citizens of this country are ready to break the system, I think that people are, we been lied to- let's, let's be honest, but not necessarily an evil lie, meaning that is pretty obvious at this point that all of the countries see thee. Trump pills as a big part of the solution, and are doing everything they can to make sure they secure their sources.
Now. I said that the United States is doing the same, and I assume that our government quite responsibly, I would say, as lied to us but it's a responsible lie because a few and if you're trying to protect the limited resource scanty. The only way to do it so I'm here to say that my Moreover, I would say my moral line was not crossed by any that probably had to be done, but outside the cats out of the bag. At this point, so what I'd like is some visibility, how much do we have? How much do we need a po where, in this country, is there a shortage? How do we make it to even make it to this country? I know there's at least one. No Novartis. There is at least one company that makes it and its american company, but I don't think they make it in America. So would they have the same problem if, if the company,
but every country they make it in what if they say, there's no exports. If it's an american company that has a manufacturing in another country, can we get it? as I work, because it seems like you just hypothetically, if it were if it had been manufactured in India you think India would lead to leave the country just because its owned by an american company. I don't think so, not an emergency, probably not So there is a big question in my mind about this. I think is increasingly clear that the difference between trumps, more optimistic view. By getting back to work and actors out she's, more reserved approach, both of them productive. I think I think that they, they sort of mapped out zone one and a little bit too the cautious side when a little bit the optimists inside that gave you.
That gave you the zone. I think we would have been under served by having one without the other I think I think we would be underserved, but this it gives you size a sense of the range that reasonable people can can think about and its obvious now that part of the difference was the trump had some early indication that the Mets would be. Productive and doktor felt. You was probably cleverly and now I can't read their minds, but it is a reasonable speculation that he knew there would be a shortage problems. He doubted it is no use downplaying Lopez, I think that's where we are seeing now is just sort of obvious. Now you don't need to go and tell your friends us you, you can simply bank the advantage. They you get to hear things that other people now hearing on the regular. Is so don't necessarily tell your friends but just
just now that you're a little bit ahead of the curve. Again. Yes, so there's on it to the best of my knowledge, there's only one study said it didn't work and that came out of a chinese university same time that everything coming out of Chinese is misinformation, so I think you can really discount the chinese study low. Let me three here's a conspiracy theory, for you the following cannot be proven and I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm sure it's true, but let me propose it and then you tell you use your own judgment everything you know about the world and enrich you're rich. Your own conclusion is this reasonable and it goes like this one of the reasons that ITALY is doing so poorly is because China is helping them
That's the conspiracy theory and the conspiracy theory to rounded out The last thing China wants is for ITALY to do really. Well, why you and ask. Is it because they don't like ITALY now now has nothing to do with ITALY, as do with how China will look if there are the only ones the big problem. China needed some other country to be the disaster countries so that when we talk about my god I hope it get as bad as ITALY, so very cleverly China is helping, but does I help include giving the Italians large doses of hydroxyl thoroughgoing. I'm guessing know, maybe because, They told the Italians it doesnt work so well, maybe because they wanted to keep it for themselves,
maybe they didn't, want anybody to know how? Well I work? Some doctors did report on it, but I don't think China can control every doctors communication everywhere, so the news got out, but the only reason I can think of the ITALY would do so badly, even even with the older population, doesn't quite explained, in my mind, doesn't feel. Like that's all explanation feels as though whatever's in ITALY is doing is different from what other countries are doing, who also have infections something different, and only ITALY is getting direct advice from China. So I would at least put the suggestion out there that China's reputation The things that we do know about, so this the speculation, is something we have any hard evidence. But the things we do know about
there are literally doing it? This information campaign? They steal our stuff there? They ve got the wiggers in prison camp there using the flown flume gone people for spare parts through their killing to take their organs and selling them, and these are just a few of the things we know about right. If all of those things are true, sure they are. Is it a stretch to say that China would through oh ITALY under the bus so that China would always look like they did a better job than than some other country. What would they be above that not all in terms of ethically and morally there? They have demonstrated that they are not even a little bit above that so did Joe heard ITALY's response more than helps, I think you have to put down possibility set,
we'll find out later. If you find out later that China wasn't pushing the drugs that they know work, then that's what was. There will probably know that somebody will find out whether ITALY was using their drug, whether the Chinese were rising them or what, but I didn't know that same nothing in our home from China for over three years there somebody says it out o shopping before the locked out was just a few days before we all had to stop doing it, and I was just picking things off the shelf and just look here where there were made. The hard not to buy something from China. I realise how hard it was now you. The apple, was helping with the end ninety five mass swayed and today they announced that there,
source some ass, their girl deliver a bunch and I said to myself: wait a minute source them. Are you telling me that Apple computer doesn't know how to put up a manufacturing plant and make things and the answer is maybe not because I think everybody who everybody who says there an american company and they're gonna make use of face, masks. The part they don't say is will not this country because we don't know how to do anything in this country. We don't have make stuff So every time I heard a story of an american company, there was gonna make some asks. You have there s. The second question is where you gonna make of our will make human China or will make him in India will make human Mexico. I dont know a theme. I don't know if any american company in manufacturing
I don't know if it's a thing, so when I see apple stepping up to help and all they do is act as a broker to find some basts that were some results. Maybe they helped them go another something, but now exactly what I was expecting from their american companies I have dug into the the relief legislation. By the way did they get approved where's that I've been off the news for a while, but I have I'm starting to develop an opinion which is that it's a complete abomination. It looks like the Republicans and the damage,
That's just completely failed us completely failed us when, when the nation needed them most, they weren't even a little bit willing to do right, not even a little bit willing. Yes, so the my pillow company apparently is making some ass any right there. Those probably are made in America. So there is. I guess there is one guy you're one company anyway, that my pillow company, they yes, they do now to make things in America because they make the pillows. So he says three makes em ninety five and South Dakota Hooker. So scared. So we do have a little bit of american manufacturing so it is, as the issue is ventilators yeah, I think the meds was their available, will make ventilators less necessary because people will get hospitals.
Asked lies in the first place. I let's talk about zoom. Did you know that zoom so to come? allows you very easily to do teleconferencing with lots of different configurations. You want to many, and so Poland, and all that it is a really good product. I gotta say so: I've used zoom quite a bit and Every time I use it frankly impressed it's just really well designed, as is pretty bulletproof for these kinds of things. Another telecommunications or is gonna pledges buzz. Really bulletproof really is interface, just everything about it. Is quality, so they deserve to be doing well in obeys, using a business now, but little problem. It's an american company, but much your most of their engineering and even one of their data centres is in China.
So if you are a big american company and you're talking about topsecret things on your conversation is going to China, Into a chinese data center server and then deal then over to the other side. Now, hypothetically, could the governmental, China listen in every business conversation that happens and too well in theory? No, because is an american company, and then they must have some control over their technology, even in China, but in reality, of course, some number, the employees there are just chinese spy. Now? Do I know that now, but do I know that? Yes, Let me say that again: do I know that there are chinese spies working resume now I have no information about that whatsoever.
Do I know that chinese spies are working a zoom? Yes, yes, I do under present, because why, when they are you crazy? Why, one day, of course, they. Now if they weren't, they will endlessly if they haven't yet they. And they will so does even matter if they haven't any add, is almost a trivial point. The point as it is such an enormous security conflict for a country, Who is most famous for stealing intellectual property and our most important companies are having their their highly confidential conversations, because when you, when you're talking it doesn't feel like as a security, all right we're used to the telephone. So you don't want to put something to text. Somebody can find it, but I'll make a phone call cuz. Nobody is recording my phone call.
Well, how hard would be for some technology to just check the language and look for a keyword? and then record anything, they had some interesting keywords, pretty easy, pretty easy, so that is a big problem. Now also, the abbot Tiktok is owned by China. That knows a lot about you and it might even have it few permission to post things on social media. If you dead the governor, China guess do you guess to follow and unfollow people on your behalf, and you never know the difference that was happening. My theory, that twitter management is not intentionally rigging, anything but that sometimes get reg, there's somethin, clearly giving rig, and so it's gotta be something
party service, either hackers or apps or there's some internal internal person whose working for the wrong government or something but yeah twitter is clearly compromised in terms of some kind of influence, but I don't think it's twitter, I think that they have away necessarily even find out what's going on, but we know it going on, I mean that their parts confirmed its easy to tell that is going on. I, whereas our zoom, exactly where is the american company, that's knocking, let off or actually very at using Zoom is an american company Ideally they were just bring their servers back here wish. I think, should be a law. Actually, I think it should be legislation that, if you're a telecommunication product, I just can't go through China that we have precedent for that. Of course,
So don't worry, I won't hear some questions of my head. Southern looks like some people are common in that sir, at Kirby copied out of their sake. Get here from here. You have a clash of very under great Relatively I and stuff like that, so you know I'm not a conspiracy guy, I was hoping that that you could provide. Imagination that maybe I get much now make my question? Is that we're during lots of things out of New York City, about lots of people in their on ventilators and big lines, and worse were hearing about the room.
Most recently, there was something about guy dying in the waiting room waiting for a bed right hands. My question is in the world of selfies and people who are possibly going alive and people are costly, recording, video and uploading it? Why are we not seeing viral videos of pact, emergency rooms and hospitals? olive ventilators, good question. I will give you a possible answer. I would say that within Lee within the hospital they provide, a wanted touch, phones goes from They're, just like germ machines, so they may not have phones in any of the places where you would also ventilators, thus possible and probable I'd say. Secondly, if you're in the waiting room, there are big signs, essay don't use yourself are another. I think you're talking about phone calls, but I think most
people would realize if they took their phone out in a medical facility is just such a grotesque violation of privacy. It could be the just people, don't do it or it could be that they ve done it keep it to themselves because they don't want to be accused of violating somebody's privacy it is an immense violation that right stan- I understand all that led the hip violations, violation and privacy in everything, but I guess the heart of my question is that you know nobody. Nobody abides by those things in it. The other situation. He had always a very strange to me that there were not seeing at least one or two wives dreams coming from I'll tell you. I have been to by healthcare providers waiting room, not not recently, because the crisis- and I was the only person using a phone. I think Yardley areas like nobody took their phone out, but idea
just taxing set. So so I got what you're saying so the the implication is. If things were as bad as the reports, we would surely have visual evidence that there is actually a good. Starvation, but within the them The call domain you would expect a little less video, then do me- and now I want to. I want to reiterate that I am not suggesting anything like I'm, not suggesting that this is a giant observing that I'm just asking a simple question that that I feel like should have an answer but dad I'm getting a lot of push back from don't ask this is like a pre, that's a pretty fair question, but the other thing might be that I think the the bad spots are spots So if you got to the point where every hospital in New York was was a death sentence,
Then the are the a video pretty high, but if most of them are kind of ok, but you had a couple of bad days at one word, somebody died in the waiting room. I dont know that people take out. There found so so, where work sort of in the grey area where I could see. Why wouldn't happen that the longer it goes and the worse it gets reportedly, the longer we go and dozy video them. That's perfectly valid questions thanks, let our galaxy it might take. A good question all these people want to talk to me. Let's do Jason.
Jason are you there Jason clearly give aggression thing is the happy centre, and it seems to me I'm just being here that that is not the case. That is very much overblown and there are people who are getting sick. There is a lot of social distancing. Albert, doesn't seem Julius bad as they are saying and have I've seen a lot reports. New York Times had one that there were people die, we were beds, etc. I just don't see that that had actually topic, but I would you see that my my understanding is:
Does it near city where they ve ordered refrigerated trucks for all the bodies. We were the only place you would see. It is right in the hospital, so leisure in the hospital. You shouldn't be see. Anything though I'm gonna happen to know personally lot of doctors, who you know family members in my social circle, that right now working working hospitals in Westchester in lower Manhattan, and I haven't ranking like that. I just I think I would have heard there was a horror story like that. So I just I think we should see. We really see. What's going It does seem to me to be here all overblown. Well being my my understanding is if you're looking you. If you look here that as snapshot in time, then you're just looking at the wrong thing. Does everything is about the rate, so they delivered four thousand ventilators, which
you're, taking as a stab shot would probably be thirty five hundred ventilators more than they need runaway, but since they think they might need Thousand we're not talking about a snapshot of today we are talking about the direction is gone and all the experts saying if you dont clip down little Milton turn into a disaster. I feel like the experts are giving you the amount of warning that is appropriate and next week, even more than appropriate at the moment. Maybe that's what you're feeling that the alarm the alarm this sort of next week alarm. So you don't see it on the ground yet so, thus my best guess, but I thank slick they solution, soon signals we got here, let's daycare. Brian. Brian, you look like you ever questions, Brian
Brian Ryan disappeared. Let's try Tracy, crazy dot Tracy? I have a question for my sister? Was a man in Manhattan and she's been quarantining herself because she's been ill with an inner ear problem and she was just telling me she went to the hospital today to see a rehab person to help her with this manoeuvre they have to do. She has crystals in her ears that are out of work and she shut. The hospital was not busy at all. She doesn't know what I'm talking about when I talk to her
About the corona virus, because men she was the only haitian that this we have woman had tonight, will those that's exactly what it should look like. If it's really an emergency, you get the right. So the way it should look like is they ve cancelled. All the elective surgery and they ve David massively increased their capacity in anticipation of what next week in the week after week like so why you saw us exactly what it should look like in some hospitals have been here. But they expected, so I think that's losing now. Of course, we could be wrong to think that the question of women I think it happen. I'm curious what gonna happen. If we do a really good job of beating the virus and everybody's he'll say see, I told you it wasn't real Omar. Are you there Omar Omar Command technology?
work it's cooking? Try to get a war on their about looks like does not work for some reason. Right, let's try some body else. The St James. James. Can you hear me if we have Oh very hard, James. You have a question, a load of aggression. It's been wants a red button, so we talk about the universe and from training. Could this I mean just sings? Is the theory haltingly actually did it, but could this be Could this be a test in a way that you could real lane other manufacturing? These come from China, but you know we couldn't, after some like medical supplies in everything,
this in turn, will, I think, be the result of this will be less stuff based in China, as will be pulling our supply lines. So so China will be worse off. So, if you're trying to imagine that somebody intentionally let the virus out you'd have to save yourself. Ok, who could gain by such a thing now, not in my opinion, nobody did it, potentially I think that's was very, very unlikely, but if you want to go through the mental exercise, you say who could possibly win by a virus. That is not a solution. Give me a little selective by age, but not not by country. So if you couldn't control it by ethnicity or a country, Nobody would let that out
Nobody who knew what they had would let it out so that they would leave the possibility that they thought it would act some other way, but even that sounds impossible. So I reject all of the intentional theories, but that doesn't mean that he didn't get out of some kind of a research lab because they could have had it for research that doesn't mean that they meant dig it out or that it was a weapon right. Thank you for the question. So you saw me, will you let me go back to that? He saw me ad block somebody here. Because I said, look how you panicked Scott now I dont know how many times I need to tell you this. They're in the early part of the you're. Just knowing that
endemic was coming, the experts said. If we don't do anything, it will turn into and a million million people die. So I quoting the experts, also said if we don't do anything that will happen, that still true. But we are doing things so those of you who have come to mock me because I said it could be the bad. Unless we do something You you just don't belong here. You just can't be here: you're, not smart enough. If you don't know the difference between what it looks like, if you don't do anything looks like if you try really hard to stop it. You just do you just can't be here you have to to find some other form of entertainment. You don't you don't understand the basics right. I said to prepare big and witches.
Smart and anybody who prepared Sprawly pretty happy about it because you have tat toilet paper. So certainly a her than was the Superstar of the early incorrect predictions on this. Nobody, nobody comes close, to what he was saying and how early, but. I saw an article. There was saying that the people who also saw a trump coming early- and to be the same people who saw the krona virus early and I thought that was a good operation, because this kind of true abandon me MIKE sort of Several others, but we were that the peoples are Trump early, saw this as well as adequate incidents may not be so. I am that we take another question here, since I got a lot of people waiting
Let's see what spend is up to spend. Coming to you because I, like your name, can you hear me said the other question? Yes again: threat. After all, this is over. How do you want to see, kind of the United States change I'm socially governments only well used. Some of it will be changes that we didn't, Eliza changes as it'll be massive changes just about how we do things to keep, viruses from spreading will be met. Real financial changes in dislocation, so the Balkans, a fairly predictable ones, but the fun ones. Are there
You don't really feel and see you just sort of notice it after the fact, and one of them is what I keep talking about, is that our government is no longer really the government making decisions there either Hannah taking your cue from the public and from social media as it as it represents a public and so the of the of the public being almost an equal partner with the government, and and informing them in working with them and pushing and pulling. I love. That's a big deal. Because it's a you is a new form of government. The simply didn't exist until social media medicine, The other thing that we're getting out of this is that a whole bunch of people met each other who would not have otherwise met, and by that I mean the scientists the benefit of no cross fertilizing a bunch of scientists, as could be tremendous commitment,
this the amount of sharing their probably permanently connected at some point, so the next the next pandemic Dundee be that much better. But one of the other one of the others or unexpected big elements of this. Is there for how many years have the green new deal? People been telling us that we should do this this big massive society changing expensive? Truly, dollar thing to redress this one problem now without arguing whether or not we should or whether, an ideal the science is right or anything like that forget about Africa. Just the fact of how do you manage your risks and I've been saying from the beginning If you put all of your money in this climate change thing, you ve missed other gigantic risks. They you would be broke. For example- and I always said pandemic, so that was on my short list? I rosy pandemic your media or claim
change. You can't spend all your money on any one of them, so you have to figure out the right mix, and I think that that lesson when from just sort of academic and people here and immediately media. We forget it too. Oh, my god, we can spend Oliver money on the green new deal and I think that the green new deal probably lost a lot of support in terms of illegally energy behind at young people the same people who supported it will continue to support it, but as the same heat anymore, because now it's kind of obvious that we would have been a lot of trouble if we started three years ago to become a social. List socialist world and with we just the apparel budget into the the Green New deal we going to wish we had their economic strength now so you and I'm sure this region was that we were pretty skirt than those kiss
yeah. So the trumpet doctrine of making sure that you're as strong as possible, because I gives you the most like hostility against the most every threats I think is proven and so face to face with a question Will you take another collar? Let's stake Alex Alex got here early. You should reward its that's. If you're still there Alex Alexander question. About Robert shall be me yes, and do you think that he is gunshot said sir, he pushed the whole tramples. Does The issue in the last election well, I carry his mind. I I heard or read that you wasn't going to be involved in politics again:
Yes, I think he's it is early seventies and, I think, use their way maybe that. Was a younger man gamers something but I'd be surprised if he hasn't been asked to consult for somebody Bernie or somebody else be surprised if he had been asked that he give a little bit of advice. So I don't know- and I kick in his head or what are you thinking it would be surprising if somebody of that skill set had not been consulted. Because we're buried it didn't work on the Obama elections we know that- and you probably work done Hillary Clinton because you see his fingerprints on it, so I wouldn't, he admitted it seems seems like they would ask him guys things here below embarrassed if he had to offers on his are on his country. Well, you don't nobody! Nobody, council, that way. Religious, looks that way to you and he'd he'd probably say: do you know,
well muslins, voter suppression or something arrow? I don't wanna put words at his head, so I have no idea what he's thinking, but just the general point that people are reasons you just go They don't look artist, you doesn't mean they don't have reasons, Scott Nigel equation? Senator mark is here hello, Senator Lucy, Steve as a question for me Steve Steve went away, I think people get shy or maybe they're not really signed up here Gabriel. I wanna talk to you Gabriel,
Gabriel can hear me the other questions. I was reading a recent document stating that the I guess the UK government downgraded corona virus to you. I guess whatever lower tier. There is aside from like anti virus, and there are some of the moors scarier things they're right, but I was curious in I don't wanna, I'm gonna like ask people to place a wager on this, and this is leading to something else. But what are the odds? You think that we can get. Miles out, ok, here's what I think will happen. I think that the the final death gout will be
shockingly low away, lower than seasonal flu, but because it's a full Gore press on me with close down the economy. I mean we're just doing, Turkey for Julian efforts so between the fact that the met the Med seem to really be and once those come online. This looks like a completely different problem. Once you have no test gets test, kids once you have an event layers once you have enough meds and protective equipment. Once you have enough supplies and that's guaranteed to happen, I think this becomes more trivial, but But, but until were armed with some somewhat alarmed and we ve been on the defensive retreat, or just turned the turned. The corner and weapons are gonna, go hearts in the next week or so, and then we're gonna off its
he'll be a lot more fun grass Lee I work as a pharmacist, and one thing I would say is that perhaps this will help us actually better approach, the flu and upcoming seasons, because some of these practices would definitely prevent some other thousands and thousands of deaths happen. You know most years right, yeah what I would say. I think that the EU one of the unintended consequences is that regular flu is either more treatable. Maybe they find something that works out or at the very least, our practices get so much better than theirs is less. I see I am optimistic about those while I thank you for the question. Right Gabriel's, one of the people I see on Twitter, making the smart comments. I was happy to talk to him.
Color went away. Color does not want to talk to me. The stray Omar again. Omar, don't run away this time, Omar how're ya, get get gave question very idea is, but first of all I want to thank you for all your hard work every day, you're getting on twice a day, just to make me feel better there on the right filters for us here, your national treasures Gardner But I thank you very much for that. Well, I think I think everybody all over the country or jump in doing what they can do, so the others does the fun bar is people just say what can I do I? What what am I gonna that and then there is doing it
so it is pretty spray sensational. Did you have a question? Yes, I do. I do so. I'm not married your mind, but I'm assuming that you were just as pissed off and I was about the stimulus bill today as it seems like its corporate social somewhere. They corporations are getting helped out in the average man is getting fucked over. So my question to you is that since its necessarily that individuals should be bailed out on their needs a you know, these corporations are being bailed out based on our need for them, so that makes them a utility so shouldn't,
government put some kind of parameters as to how they are able to use the bail out money, so they don't just give each other promotions and stock by backs yeah n. I haven't Doug into the details, but I know the president wanted that. Basically everybody wanted it. So if everybody was talking in public wanted it didn't happen, then there must be some lobbyists to affect their, but I would have to say that Congress failed miserably just just failed right in front of us in a way that is somewhat spectacular because they fear they may or may not sign something you sounded like the president was gonna, be pretty flexible and he wasn't. He wasn't gonna. He wasn't gonna go to war, about twenty five million for this twenty five million for that as long as I had a reason why you may not prefer it, but at least you'll get the country back on the road, and I don't know about that. I think that he is actually playing as smart.
He's being complimentary to everybody in Congress, even though you shouldn't be based on their performance, he should be castigating them, but I think he's play correctly. You smartly saying you know Congresses Congress if they can't do better than that and will take what I could get. But I need this. I need someone, not nothing, so something is better than nothing, but if com MRS credibility again lower. I just don't know how I am in this. I'm not really the guy, who wants to criticise Congress, Alzheimer's, just solely easy and obvious and perpetual, but while this feels like a whole, the level of incompetence. You sort of imagined there when it was a national emergency there were, they would let the little stuff go and just focus. But did not they didn't even a little bit. They failed us completely.
Everybody involved with those should be removed from office. In my opinion- and I agree that there is one thing I want to mention something interesting. I learned from a friend of mine who is a chinese national, but only bothers actually fully functioning and they function very well during the quarantine. Our during these the covert crisis- and I didn't know why, but something that I didn't know was back in early two thousand, I believe with Sars happened. Alibaba had to go through this whole pandemic themselves, that is Self Quarantine Inter Company, so they are actually really well prepared to handle this, and I'm wondering if, because the? U S, companies all went this themselves that,
in the next ten or twenty or thirty years, if this were to happen again, we would essentially be anti fragile and are in our economy to sea links up here. Think it depends what happens if we wait twenty years it would allow the pandemic in that time will probably go. Soft budgets will get cod will get. You know we'll get complacent, but I would say of a pandemic comes back in three years: we're really gonna be a little it'll, be fresh you'll have to tell people To do we will just go into our routine together depends
but yes, I think that one of the big benefits is we're. Gonna commander had preparation wise. It will be a much hardened society when we're done that my hope last lasting and I'll. Let you guess gotta get Fischer, who time I know that you know you you're on Instagram now and love your picks barometer suggest something you should try and tell me what you end up, seeing like a few Tik Tok Instagram videos and you'll, get retargeting by a variety of these very impressive at companies for photos. Are you no vote, video editing all which not only are coming out of China, but they also happen becoming too
Han, and I just thought it was very, very strange that have seen so try that on your and see what you end up finding her ok look for that. They don't forget the guy right. Let's start to Alec, see if Alec has aggression, Alec the of aggression, Alec, I can certainly railing I'll get into a quieter place in one second, my question is: what do you think? What's your prediction on what's going to happen once this blows over once we get a handle of it in places like IRAN and Hong Kong? Do you believe the protests will return
full force, or is it a little bit too foggy detail to foggy detail because the even the protesters we're not gonna, want to gather so at the moment the more more virus arisen ran? Maybe the regime is evil. Safer, because people just don't want to get in the same way, but let's say we get past the virus and people are no longer afraid to gather up like a rat, has a lot to explain. You know they need to explore, In this union down the Ukraine, there lived a bad economy, they need to explain, either a pariah. They need to explain what the real economy is. The worst they need to explain why the The virus was so bad therein less by another places, so is gonna hurt, but on the other hand, so just if you just look at all the site. Knowledge. It doesn't that there is something about a national emergency. The does make people pull together and put a little more
trust in the regime, even if they aided him yesterday so work either way as were squarely in the fog wars. Jewish good question. Thank you. Thank you figure Steel, its due Eric Eric Eric Eric American here media of aggression pact. Have why didn't the president said the peace more on the goodies and the bill, like you know the payments directly to workers directly dressed for a small business wound, and then of course, then, when all the big corporate stop has to happen to big bailouts, while he blames out on Congress, gotta seems like you.
I've, been sitting back and letting the bill just kind of happen rather than getting out from here. You know he hears here's. What I would have liked to have seen. I would like to see the President say: both parties have failed us. Here's your bill. I need you to vote on this by tomorrow, because I think, president? Could you say here's what you gave us with all this park? Here's what they read look is one that the basically give way to big business according to people look at it more than I am I the president has said, I know what it looks like when you're not doing either those things. So here is vote by tomorrow's. In words, I think you could have done it in any, in any other circumstance, of course here that wouldn't work, but I think he could find enough light on it to just Harrison now. Let me give you an example: if the press, it is said: look you ve completely screwed approach on this is too complicated as do divisive. It's just
The wrong is wrong in every way. Here's what we're gonna do you give everybody three thousand dollars? That's it and then the people who didn't deserve it. You people like me who owns them income is really some of it will be intact after this is over. Probably down about third from newspapers are going to business forever. But people like me, I just want to fill my taxes. I just say I got three thousand dollars burden deserve it so giving give it back. You attack site is the easiest, because you don't even have to worry about the claw back into later. You don't have to worry. There's somebody got the got. The money based on law steer. But this was a bad here. You don't worry about any that you just say: Bohme! Here's! Your money corporations get nothing now should corporations get nothing, will they go out of business and I think the answer is no. If the guy was to help companies stay in business and is just a
The general is a short cash fall problem. Well, that's what banks do you know? Maybe maybe the government could guarantee in some cases or the government could take equity. They don't like that. But the government good like it. We make a profit on this, like the governments, say, yeah I'll help you Boeing, but I own ten percent of your company and when the stock goes back up, I'm gonna sell is undoubtedly stock business. I'm just help anyhow, so it feels to me that the government could have done lots of stuff to make sure that the big companies at least have but we would get paid back and it seems to me we can just directly give castor people live there. People get cash. Well, they pricing anyway, that's good, but they can climb back. So I think the president had a high ground play now. I don't know. Politics of Washington, maybe I'm being a little too little
do I deal is take about reasons are, but there are things you can do any emergency. They just couldn't do other types, and I got a feeling that that the public was so primed for leadership that the present could, I said, I'm pointed out one page: But on this tomorrow- and I really want to see that stuff that you handed me, It is so far off the american people should fire every one of you but here's my one days, you give it to me too much by tomorrow, yet that what if I hadn't all run for him surrounded it was kind of talk about help. Trumps gonna dropped some opportunities for himself to your hit it out better about extra. Like all agree with all that, take my client, my whenever I thanked thicker getting pretty good questions today,
all the smart people here today that didn't work about that. Sorry, I knocked you are thousands forefinger Bravo traceable, stony down. I can hear me. I'll get, and you have a question what's going on with New Orleans, if you heard anything about their, it seems like that's gonna blow up really soon after noon work well, probably in I would expect that all the natural areas are gonna get hit, some more than others, that is through vacation places and you know older places and people are more crowded, did all the usual factors so cleverly special Intel on that, but I think that with Marty, ground and late February, a lot of seeds forgot.
My understanding is that bourbon street just continued on until the police came in and said what back get out of here, sir, I think they had to close down bourbon street of the big crowded airy there. Thanks for question. Well, I seem to be pressing the wrong button sirens. Try that I thus offer today. I won't be back with you at ten Easter time and The eastern, not Easter and seven a M California time for the simultaneous up do not mess do not visit. Do not visit appear to tell you that things are gonna turn round is all about supplies now supplies the test, supplies meds supplies of protective equipment, and then we, if we go on orphans, very close, very close. I see in the morning.
