[00:00.000 --> 00:02.160]  I'm Dave Champion.
[00:02.160 --> 00:14.800]  Data analysis from Yelp shows that across the country, 800 businesses are closing permanently
[00:14.800 --> 00:15.800]  every day.
[00:15.800 --> 00:17.000]  Now, that's just from one source.
[00:17.000 --> 00:18.560]  That's from Yelp's data.
[00:18.560 --> 00:24.440]  The University of California at Santa Cruz, using a different matrix of information, determined
[00:24.440 --> 00:30.520]  that that number is likely closer to 1,500 businesses a day.
[00:30.520 --> 00:35.480]  As I'm sitting here speaking to you about three weeks ago, I released a video entitled
[00:35.480 --> 00:41.040]  Questions Public Health Officials Can't Answer and Media Won't Ask.
[00:41.040 --> 00:42.640]  In that video, I did a little role playing.
[00:42.640 --> 00:46.880]  On the one hand, I played a reporter at a press conference, and on the other hand, I
[00:46.880 --> 00:54.480]  played a government health official, and I provided what presumably would be the answer
[00:54.480 --> 00:59.480]  that public health officials would give at a press conference if the media was asking
[00:59.480 --> 01:00.480]  the correct questions.
[01:00.480 --> 01:07.080]  That was a very well-received video, and the point of that exercise was to show that these
[01:07.080 --> 01:11.240]  health experts, when they claim this is so and that is so and the other is so and so
[01:12.240 --> 01:16.920]  that they have absolutely no evidence to support that.
[01:16.920 --> 01:25.920]  But since I did that video, I have come across a series of data points, articles, honest
[01:25.920 --> 01:28.640]  statements from government health officials.
[01:28.640 --> 01:31.200]  In some cases, I don't think they're aware of what they're saying.
[01:31.200 --> 01:35.720]  Over the last three weeks, I've seen this constellation of these various facts, pieces
[01:35.800 --> 01:42.880]  data statements by government health officials, and what it has shown me is because I was
[01:42.880 --> 01:50.400]  so focused on the science that I missed the bigger picture, and in doing so, I inadvertently
[01:50.400 --> 01:51.880]  misled you.
[01:51.880 --> 02:01.800]  Today, I'm going to straighten that out.
[02:01.800 --> 02:05.000]  In the aforementioned video, I talked about various industries.
[02:05.080 --> 02:12.920]  I said, for instance, OK, you're claiming that bars are spreading SARS-CoV-2, OK?
[02:12.920 --> 02:17.440]  Prove it, and not some theoretical guesswork.
[02:17.440 --> 02:23.080]  Have some substance, some credibility, something that a person with common sense could look
[02:23.080 --> 02:27.160]  at this and say, yes, these infections over here came from that bar.
[02:27.160 --> 02:28.600]  I did the same thing with restaurants.
[02:28.600 --> 02:29.720]  I did the same thing with gyms.
[02:29.720 --> 02:32.680]  I talked about the Sturgis motorcycle rally.
[02:32.760 --> 02:38.520]  I showed, via this construct, me as the reporter and then me as the public health official
[02:38.520 --> 02:43.160]  giving the answer that would most likely be the case if they would bother to answer and
[02:43.160 --> 02:49.240]  if the media would bother to ask the questions, and that was meant to show you that these
[02:49.240 --> 02:55.640]  government health officials don't have any evidence for all these things they're doing.
[02:55.640 --> 02:58.760]  I talked about the last three weeks, this constellation of data points and statements
[02:58.760 --> 03:04.280]  by government health officials and so forth that led me to believe that going down that
[03:04.280 --> 03:07.560]  whole road, hey, government health officials, can you prove this?
[03:07.560 --> 03:14.760]  Going down that whole road was nonsensical, and the reason is that these government health
[03:14.760 --> 03:21.400]  officials and these dictatorial tyrannical governors never even know that.
[03:21.480 --> 03:30.440]  I think that's something that I figured, like most areas of Endeavor, the vast majority of people
[03:30.440 --> 03:34.760]  involved in that area of Endeavor aren't really good at their job, all the more so when they're
[03:34.760 --> 03:37.400]  government workers because there's no accountability.
[03:37.400 --> 03:40.120]  I figured these government health officials didn't know what the hell they were talking
[03:40.120 --> 03:42.600]  about because they were never really excellent in the first place.
[03:42.600 --> 03:44.520]  If they were excellent, they wouldn't have gone into government service.
[03:44.520 --> 03:47.160]  They would have gone into the private sector and made a gang of money.
[03:47.160 --> 03:49.160]  The second leaps in because there's no accountability.
[03:49.160 --> 03:53.480]  Whatever modest skills they had in the first place had deteriorated over time.
[03:53.480 --> 03:58.280]  So that is how I imagined we were getting this bad information out of government health
[03:58.280 --> 04:01.720]  officials, and I have come to realize I was wrong.
[04:02.440 --> 04:05.080]  They know they can't prove any of that.
[04:05.080 --> 04:08.040]  They know there's no data backing that up.
[04:08.040 --> 04:12.840]  Let's take a look at things like restaurant closures or severe reductions, bowling alleys,
[04:12.840 --> 04:15.960]  gyms, bars, hair salons and so forth.
[04:15.960 --> 04:23.080]  All these restrictions in these states without being able to prove that they contribute to
[04:23.080 --> 04:23.560]  anything.
[04:25.720 --> 04:27.800]  So I realized they already know that.
[04:27.800 --> 04:32.440]  In light of the fact that they already know they can't prove any of this, what are they
[04:32.440 --> 04:33.000]  trying to do?
[04:33.000 --> 04:39.640]  Well, it is a they are trying to manipulate all of us.
[04:39.640 --> 04:40.760]  Simple as that.
[04:40.760 --> 04:44.120]  But what are they trying to manipulate us into or out of?
[04:44.840 --> 04:53.640]  They are trying to create an environment where they create such an onerous, distasteful
[04:53.640 --> 04:59.960]  burden, things people do not want to put up with, that they simply don't go.
[05:00.840 --> 05:06.840]  This is their way of approximating a lockdown as close as they can get to a lockdown without
[05:06.840 --> 05:11.720]  the political fallout that they would sustain from ordering another lockdown.
[05:11.720 --> 05:13.400]  So for instance, restaurants.
[05:13.480 --> 05:17.720]  For instance, here in Nevada, now under Cislak's paws, I'm just using Nevada as an example
[05:17.720 --> 05:21.480]  because I'm familiar with it, restaurants are down to I think it's 20% capacity now.
[05:21.480 --> 05:23.560]  And you have to wear a mask when you walk in.
[05:23.560 --> 05:25.400]  You can only take it off when you're seated.
[05:25.400 --> 05:27.480]  If you stand up for any reason, you have to put the mask on.
[05:27.480 --> 05:28.920]  If you go to the bathroom, you have to put the mask on.
[05:28.920 --> 05:31.720]  Okay, nobody wants to go out to dinner that way, right?
[05:32.600 --> 05:35.960]  That's not a dining experience.
[05:35.960 --> 05:41.480]  People like to go out and dine and they want to be greeted at the front at the receptionist
[05:41.480 --> 05:42.040]  counter.
[05:42.040 --> 05:43.480]  They want to be greeted with a smile.
[05:43.480 --> 05:44.840]  And how are you tonight, sir?
[05:44.840 --> 05:48.680]  And is there a particular table you'd like and take you to the table?
[05:48.680 --> 05:49.400]  Here's your menus.
[05:49.400 --> 05:50.600]  Can I get you a drink?
[05:50.600 --> 05:56.200]  And this entire richness of the experience of going out and dining, right?
[05:56.840 --> 06:05.160]  So what these governors have done with all these crazy, ridiculous, worthless measures,
[06:05.160 --> 06:10.040]  worthless measures, we've all seen the meme about the guy sitting down with no mask in
[06:10.040 --> 06:12.600]  the air showing SARS-CoV-2 going over his head.
[06:12.600 --> 06:16.440]  And then he stands up with the mask on and SARS-CoV-2 hits him in the face, right?
[06:16.440 --> 06:18.600]  Because that's the idiocy of this.
[06:19.240 --> 06:27.720]  So by these capacity limits and establishing steps that constitute mental barriers,
[06:27.720 --> 06:30.680]  I just don't want to go out to eat anymore.
[06:30.680 --> 06:33.240]  It's not the experience it once was.
[06:33.240 --> 06:33.720]  Screw it.
[06:33.720 --> 06:34.360]  I'll eat home.
[06:36.040 --> 06:38.440]  What these governors are doing is they are saying,
[06:39.400 --> 06:42.360]  you know, we don't need to really do a lockdown.
[06:43.800 --> 06:47.800]  We can do this soft thing that approximates a lockdown.
[06:47.800 --> 06:52.680]  And come next election day, when I'm running for governor again,
[06:53.560 --> 06:55.800]  no one can point and say I did another lockdown.
[06:55.800 --> 06:58.680]  The same thing with bowling alleys, right?
[06:58.680 --> 07:02.280]  Well, there's no evidence that any infections jumped off bowling alleys.
[07:02.840 --> 07:05.480]  Bowling alleys were never a high margin business to begin with.
[07:05.480 --> 07:06.680]  They weren't making a gang of money.
[07:07.320 --> 07:09.880]  Bowling alleys across the country are going out of business.
[07:09.880 --> 07:10.280]  Gyms.
[07:10.280 --> 07:13.080]  I'm going to use mine as an example here in Nevada because I'm familiar with it.
[07:14.040 --> 07:16.040]  About four or five weeks ago, Sisolak said,
[07:16.600 --> 07:22.440]  now if you're in the gym, you need to be wearing a mask 100% of the time,
[07:22.440 --> 07:23.800]  even when you're exercising.
[07:23.800 --> 07:27.080]  He literally said in his press conference, and I'm paraphrasing,
[07:27.080 --> 07:31.320]  if you're exercising so hard that the mask prevents you from breathing,
[07:31.320 --> 07:33.720]  do some other exercise.
[07:33.720 --> 07:36.280]  Let me tell you the experience that I'm having here in town with the gym.
[07:37.240 --> 07:40.920]  And that is it's a ghost town.
[07:40.920 --> 07:42.280]  It's virtually empty.
[07:43.320 --> 07:48.360]  I'm going to guess at an approximation, maybe a tenth of the people are present
[07:48.360 --> 07:50.200]  that once we're going to that gym.
[07:50.200 --> 07:51.720]  And here's an interesting thing.
[07:52.360 --> 07:53.240]  Virtually no women.
[07:53.800 --> 07:56.680]  All the people who go to the gym,
[07:56.680 --> 08:00.120]  who have decided in one way or another they're going to the gym.
[08:00.120 --> 08:02.200]  I'm going to guess 98% of them are men.
[08:02.920 --> 08:07.720]  The number of people going to that gym is just so dramatically less,
[08:07.720 --> 08:09.400]  and that's what they want.
[08:09.400 --> 08:11.320]  I'm going to get to the conclusion of why that is.
[08:11.320 --> 08:12.600]  Hair salons, right?
[08:12.600 --> 08:13.960]  We all know how that is.
[08:13.960 --> 08:15.080]  Yeah, you've got individual stations,
[08:15.080 --> 08:16.440]  but it's sort of a communal environment.
[08:16.440 --> 08:18.520]  Everybody chitchatting and socializing.
[08:18.520 --> 08:19.800]  And I can go on and on.
[08:19.800 --> 08:21.000]  Bars, another example.
[08:21.000 --> 08:24.200]  There's no evidence that the virus spreads from bars.
[08:24.200 --> 08:27.240]  Again, there's no scientific evidence, but they know that.
[08:27.240 --> 08:29.800]  So what do all these things have in common,
[08:29.800 --> 08:34.280]  whether it's the hair salon or the bar or the gym or the bowling alley?
[08:34.280 --> 08:36.920]  What do they all have in common?
[08:38.840 --> 08:41.480]  It's where we go to socialize.
[08:41.480 --> 08:45.160]  It's where we go to interact with other human beings other than work or shopping.
[08:45.160 --> 08:48.520]  Okay, so it's where we go and spend some time and relax
[08:48.520 --> 08:51.480]  and enjoy ourselves with other human beings.
[08:51.480 --> 08:56.200]  It's part of us being human beings.
[08:56.920 --> 08:59.560]  So the perspective of these governors is
[08:59.640 --> 09:04.920]  if we can make all these things so onerous, so unpleasant
[09:04.920 --> 09:08.120]  that they're going to dislike all the requirements they have to go through
[09:08.120 --> 09:11.640]  to participate in these things, they won't participate.
[09:11.640 --> 09:13.160]  So there's no socialization.
[09:13.160 --> 09:16.120]  And if they're not participating and they're not going to those places,
[09:16.120 --> 09:17.560]  then what are they doing?
[09:17.560 --> 09:20.760]  They're sitting home, which is essentially the same as a stay-at-home order
[09:20.760 --> 09:22.520]  and essentially the same as a lockdown.
[09:22.520 --> 09:25.400]  But they're doing it through this manipulation.
[09:25.400 --> 09:28.520]  Instead of saying, stay home, instead of saying there's a lockdown,
[09:29.480 --> 09:33.560]  and having to deal with the political fallout of that the next election day,
[09:33.560 --> 09:36.680]  instead of doing that, they're screwing with your head.
[09:36.680 --> 09:41.400]  They're creating a soft, approximated lockdown
[09:41.400 --> 09:46.840]  by making everything you enjoy doing unjoyable so you stay the fuck home.
[09:47.480 --> 09:53.240]  Again, Nevada's Governor Sisolak, he is, I have to admit,
[09:53.880 --> 09:57.320]  while I find what he's doing disgusting and reprehensible,
[09:57.400 --> 09:58.920]  I have to admit he's good at it.
[09:58.920 --> 10:01.480]  So I want to read to you a quote from Sisolak.
[10:01.480 --> 10:04.760]  He just put an email out, I don't know, 24 hours ago.
[10:04.760 --> 10:09.480]  So I want to share the quote with you so that you can see how they're doing this.
[10:09.480 --> 10:14.600]  And Sisolak said, prioritizing our economy or our health
[10:14.600 --> 10:17.080]  is a false choice for our state.
[10:17.080 --> 10:20.520]  If you don't have a job, if you can't provide for your family,
[10:20.520 --> 10:24.040]  if you lose your home, if the state has no safety net to help,
[10:24.840 --> 10:26.920]  people will not be healthy.
[10:26.920 --> 10:28.360]  And that's complete bullshit.
[10:28.360 --> 10:31.800]  The reason is Sisolak has already made the choice
[10:32.680 --> 10:39.240]  to choose a completely non-constructive, non-useful, non-effective, non-efficacious
[10:39.800 --> 10:44.200]  way of trying, thinking the government can stop a virus,
[10:44.200 --> 10:47.720]  trying to stop a virus by crippling the economy
[10:47.720 --> 10:49.480]  through the manipulation I just shared with you.
[10:49.480 --> 10:51.800]  And by the way, if you have governors that have all these orders,
[10:51.800 --> 10:53.000]  they're doing the same thing too.
[10:53.080 --> 10:58.920]  They are attempting to manipulate you into a soft approximation of a lockdown
[10:58.920 --> 11:01.800]  without actually having to declare a lockdown again
[11:01.800 --> 11:03.480]  and pay the political price for that.
[11:03.480 --> 11:06.360]  Over the last several years, it appears to me that a lot of people have become
[11:07.560 --> 11:10.600]  oddly disenchanted with representative government.
[11:10.600 --> 11:13.080]  I imagine they figure because they're not getting their way.
[11:13.080 --> 11:15.800]  Therefore, representative government is less appealing.
[11:16.600 --> 11:21.800]  However, I want to point out what you see these governors doing.
[11:22.520 --> 11:25.240]  They are, this is not an exaggeration.
[11:26.360 --> 11:33.960]  When it comes to the virus, they are complete and total dictators.
[11:34.520 --> 11:38.200]  What you're experiencing now where people are being impoverished,
[11:38.200 --> 11:42.680]  suicides are up, drug overdoses up, spousal abuses up, domestic violence is up,
[11:43.720 --> 11:46.200]  bankruptcies are going through the roof, people are losing their homes,
[11:46.200 --> 11:47.560]  people are getting thrown out on the streets.
[11:48.120 --> 11:51.160]  All of these things are not the product of the virus.
[11:51.160 --> 11:55.320]  To be clear, the virus hasn't done that to anyone.
[11:56.280 --> 12:03.640]  These dictatorial governors are the ones doing it to these people, to their own residents.
[12:03.640 --> 12:08.920]  It's the governors that are doing that exercising dictatorial tyrannical powers
[12:08.920 --> 12:13.720]  that seemingly can't really be reviewed by anybody, effectively at least.
[12:14.520 --> 12:17.960]  I want to point out whatever angst you may feel
[12:18.920 --> 12:25.000]  towards representative democracy, what we're seeing now by these tyrannical
[12:25.000 --> 12:30.840]  dictatorial governors should be a wake-up call that no matter how bad you think
[12:30.840 --> 12:36.360]  representative government is, it is a thousand times more desirable than what we're seeing now.
