01:30That reality vanished.
01:35Suddenly, one of the officers breaks away from that arrest and walks up to a bystander
01:40with his taser drawn, swearing and telling him to move back.
01:44He then tackles the bystander to the ground, repeatedly hitting him.
02:00He then tackles the bystander to the ground, repeatedly hitting him.
02:30Humanity is facing an uphill climb.
02:34We all walk our path.
02:37When will we walk together in harmony?
02:39When faced with adversity, we look to each other.
02:47However, now we all live in isolation.
02:50It seems humanity must bear witness to a tragedy, to find the will to survive.
03:03And we need to understand the enemy we face.
03:07Will it ever be the same as it was before?
03:09How long will this last?
03:16Every human now has a heightened sense of their own mortality.
03:21We must look to our past and learn from our mistakes.
03:24We must look to your face.
03:54When comparing the COVID-19 pandemic to major pandemics of the modern era,
03:59we have a higher global population now, but with fewer fatalities.
04:03Currently, COVID-19 pales in comparison to other pandemics of recent history.
04:08A look at the fatality comparisons of pandemics shows that with the application of modern innovations,
04:14such as inoculations and antibiotics, we have seen a drastic decline in mortality rates.
04:19During medieval Europe, it was common belief that bathing too much could be unhealthy.
04:27Another onset of the plague in the 1600s, the church took notice and changes were made.
04:33The common phrase, cleanliness is next to godliness, can be attributed directly to the bubonic plague.
04:41Like the novel coronavirus, the bubonic plague jumped from animal to human with devastating results.
04:48Imagine, one day everything is normal, and soon, half the people you know are gone.
04:56The bubonic plague that decimated Europe in the 14th century,
05:01spread from flea-infested rodents carried on trade ships from Asia and Asia Minor.
05:07Unlike COVID-19, modern medicine is equipped to detect and mitigate the plague, protecting lives.
05:14If we look at the 20th century, and we look at the death chart of the 20th century,
05:25I think everybody would say, oh yeah, there must be a spike for World War I.
05:29You know, sure enough, there it is, like 25 million.
05:32And there must be a big spike for World War II, and there it is, it's like 65 million.
05:36But then you'll see this other spike that is as large as World War II, right after World War I.
05:43And most people, a lot of people would say, what? What was that?
05:48The Spanish flu, an influenza virus called H1N1, occurred just after World War I,
05:55killing an estimated 50 million people globally.
05:58Though the Spanish flu's origins are still debated,
06:03soldiers from around the world returning to their homes helped spread the virus like a wildfire.
06:08The Centers for Disease Control estimate 500 million people contracted the Spanish flu,
06:15almost one-third of the world's population at that time.
06:19The Spanish flu had no vaccine nor antibiotics to treat the illness,
06:23and people were forced into isolation, which leads us to today.
06:33There are now more than a million cases of coronavirus. That's globally.
06:38The United States now has more than 273,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus.
06:43COVID-19 coverage has been inconsistent with constantly evolving information.
06:55This has resulted in inevitable hysteria.
06:58There are things that we are relatively certain about the virus's effect on the human body and how it spreads.
07:03COVID-19 is a respiratory influenza.
07:07The virus has spread from infected individuals or contaminated surfaces.
07:10The virus can be contracted through the mouth, nose, or eyes.
07:15The virus attacks the normal gas exchanges of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the bloodstream.
07:21This occurs in a network of absorption points within the lungs called alveoli.
07:26COVID-19 can lead in some cases to a lethal form of pneumonia.
07:30As the body starts to fight the virus, irritation within the lungs makes breathing difficult.
07:35Most infected individuals have only minor flu-like symptoms.
07:42The majority of patients that develop serious symptoms possess underlying conditions of a weakened immune system.
07:49With modern health care and the ability to communicate worldwide,
07:53it has given us hope that we will quickly be on the offensive against COVID-19.
07:57To learn more, we must speak to those who have been directly affected by the virus.
08:02I was exposed before COVID became very prominent here.
08:22I was put on a two-week quarantine.
08:23Actually, a bunch of my staff was.
08:29It was not easy.
08:31Everything that happens, every allergy makes you think you have it.
08:38It's very tough.
08:39You have a family.
08:42Chest x-rays.
08:45It shows you what could happen to you.
08:48And it's not just the elderly.
08:50It's not just the sick.
08:52People that don't really have any other issues get it.
09:00Which makes it very scary.
09:03Because you could be a carrier.
09:05You could be transmitting it.
09:07And your lungs could be being eaten by this virus.
09:11And you don't even know it yet.
09:12Every time you go in a room and you come out, even though you're protected, you feel like you're covered with it.
09:24It's in the air.
09:26It's like everything exposed.
09:28Everything that is exposed, you feel like it's on.
09:31And you know that when you take off your gear, it makes it airborne.
09:36It pops off of it like dust.
09:37So how does that not get back on you?
09:41That first person that came in to our hospital weeks and weeks ago, they ended up dying.
09:47They were not old.
09:49They didn't come in with the typical symptoms.
09:50It was actually one of the first ones that came in with abdominal pain.
09:54It wasn't even a lung issue.
09:55That's why I, me and a bunch of my colleagues were exposed.
10:01Because it wasn't the typical signs and symptoms.
10:09Well, hello.
10:10I'm Louis.
10:12I'm from Paris, France.
10:14And we've been on lockdown for a month here.
10:18And the government is about to extend it.
10:22Probably for another fortnight.
10:24And very certainly beyond that.
10:29I share most people's opinion that quarantining is far from being easy.
10:36We feel isolated, alone, very much lonely sometimes.
10:42With no one to talk to.
10:46My experience has been twice as difficult.
10:49Because I actually got coronavirus.
10:53A couple of weeks ago.
10:55I did not suffer all the symptoms.
10:58But I basically spent the night sneezing.
11:02Blowing my nose.
11:03Coughing.
11:04It was very, very bothering.
11:06But my sister was sick.
11:09She could neither smell nor taste nor breathe.
11:14So, obviously, it's very difficult to know that someone who is very dear to you, someone who is very close to you, is suffering from that disease.
11:26And you can't actually be there to support them.
11:31America will again and soon be open for business.
11:35The pandemic has led to the near collapse of the global economic system, impacting the largest companies, small business, and even the sacred institutions we hold dear.
11:52Reverend Drake is a minister in a small rural town in western North Carolina.
12:00I'm Pastor Jack Drake.
12:03I'm a pastor here at Open Arms Tabernacle, Provide, North Carolina.
12:08I've been here about seven years now.
12:11It is quite ironic that at a time when you really need churches for people to go to, to receive comfort and strength and be together in such a crisis time, that our churches are empty.
12:28Our pews are empty.
12:30So, that's very, very challenging and very, very different.
12:35We, like all houses of worship, have been actually forced to make decisions and make changes that we would be able to effectively care for and minister to our people, keep them attached to the church.
12:59At first, I thought when we had to eliminate our people from coming to the house of the Lord, that, man, this is going to be just a terrible, terrible situation.
13:12But the longer that it went, the more that I discovered that it was really, could be quite a positive situation.
13:20And so, we did decide after a couple of weeks to go ahead and live stream our services on the Open Arms Tabernacle Facebook page.
13:33And then I was so pleasantly surprised because we had done it for a week or so, and I had people calling me and talking with me and saying,
13:43Hey, Pastor, do you realize that you're reaching hundreds of people?
13:48And I thought to myself, Hey, Lord, that's, that's pretty good.
13:52I'm actually reaching more people than I would have been able to reach if we were having church, church normally.
14:02Just like the church, small business owners have been forced to close their doors indefinitely due to the pandemic.
14:10Madeline and Cody recently became owners of a small business, which was ordered to suspend all business activities.
14:16And the timing could not have been worse.
14:19I'm Madeline.
14:20I'm Cody.
14:21And we're the new owners of 185 King Street.
14:25We were deciding to take over 185 King Street and start our own business and start our brewery.
14:32So when we were moving back here, we sold our house and I quit my job knowing that I was needed here.
14:37We had probably the most active winter we have ever had, and we were all looking forward to a very productive springtime.
14:52Business owners, like the ones that just moved in next door, very excited about opening their business and looking forward to the summer and the tourist season, really.
15:05And now there's not really anything to look forward to.
15:08And just recently, in March, we were thinking, early March, we were thinking about getting a place in town and taking on our own household again.
15:20Things seem to be moving good.
15:23And yeah, St. Patrick's Day was our last day open.
15:28One of my first news broadcasts was having to tell people that the governor called a state of emergency.
15:42And that was hard to read on the air because everything was dark.
15:48There were less people in the streets the next day.
15:51Like everything shut down immediately.
15:53Stay home, stay in.
15:58Because we have now seen a pandemic or a plague, as I would call it, that has brought the entire world to its knees.
16:14As humanity faces a world that is descending into darkness, it is within our nature to ask the question, why?
16:28What the world needs right now and what many brilliant minds are devoted to discovering is how to stop COVID-19.
16:44A few days ago, an Australian company announced it hoped to begin human trials of a vaccine within weeks.
16:51But in other countries, especially China and the United States, developing and owning a coronavirus vaccine has become a biotech arms race with political overtones.
17:04I'm not here to convince anybody.
17:06I'm not here to put words in your mouth.
17:09I'm not here to put thoughts in your head.
17:10I'm only here to show you what you can see with your own eyes and then let you decide what truth is.
17:16As with any world event these days, conspiracy theories inevitably rise.
17:20It appears that human condition seeks any explanation to increase one's understanding, or worse, an excuse to lay blame.
17:28In constructing a conspiracy theory, there is at minimum a party responsible whose desire for money or power creates or exploits an event which leverages confusion or fear of the unknown.
17:41We need to get going because time is not on our side.
17:59In fact, if there's one positive thing that can come out of the Ebola epidemic, it's that it can serve as an early warning, a wake-up call to get ready.
18:12If we start now, we can be ready for the next epidemic.
18:17There will be a surprise outbreak, and I hope by the end of my relatively short presentation, you will understand why history, the history of the last 32 years,
18:47that I've been the director of NIAID, will tell the next administration that there's no doubt in anyone's mind that they will be faced with the challenges that their predecessors were faced with.
19:00When the news broke out that Wuhan suddenly had a strange new virus erupting there, the head of this government laboratory in Wuhan, Xi Jinping, was called in to investigate.
19:15The Scientific American reports, if coronaviruses were the culprit, Xi remembers thinking, could they have come from our lab?
19:24Well, later she posted on WeChat, I swear with my life, the virus has nothing to do with the lab.
19:31And I have no reason to say she's wrong.
19:35Unfortunately, I also have no reason to say she's right.
19:37I don't know, and China is not the kind of country that would welcome a confession that one of its own laboratories was to blame for all this death and destruction.
19:49When searching for the origin of this virus, we have to start in Wuhan, China.
19:54The Chinese government linked the virus to a local Wuhan wet market.
20:00In 2015, researcher Shi Zhengli had stated that the SARS-like coronavirus was derived from bats.
20:08To this date, no bats have ever been sold from this market.
20:11In 2014, the Obama administration suspended direct funding to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, due to growing fears of the development of synthetic viruses.
20:23During a recent White House press briefing, the president was asked about a $3.7 million grant funding Xi Zhengli's research in Wuhan.
20:32And we've instructed that if any grants are going to that area, we're looking at it literally about an hour ago, and also early in the morning, we will end that grant very quickly.
20:45But it was granted quite a while ago. They were granted a substantial amount of money.
20:51The Wuhan lab is less than 10 miles from the market.
20:54It is one of the most advanced labs in China and is the largest virus bank in Asia.
20:59The lab houses over 1,500 different viruses.
21:03Shi Zhengli was creating synthetic viruses in 2017, developing eight coronaviruses with various protein inserts.
21:11In 2019, the Wuhan Institute of Virology was part of a $3.7 million NIH grant for Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence.
21:22Shi Zhengli co-authored a document that called to continue research into synthetic viruses.
21:27It is reported by various sources, including her own speeches, that she started creating viruses in 2007, leading to the question everyone is asking, why?
21:39In 2015, she stated that the virus could not naturally attach to human cells.
21:45What we know about this coronavirus is that the S protein is related to the one present in HIV.
21:51The presence of this protein does not occur in natural mutations.
21:54So, it's very clear this virus was manipulated.
21:59This family of viruses was manipulated and studied in a laboratory where the animals were taken into the laboratory.
22:08And this is what was released, whether deliberate or not.
22:13That cannot be naturally occurring.
22:15Somebody didn't go to a market, get a bat.
22:18The virus didn't jump directly to humans.
22:21That's not how it works.
22:22That's accelerated viral evolution.
22:25If it was a natural occurrence, it would take it up to 800 years to occur.
22:32This occurred from SARS-1 within a decade.
22:35That's not naturally occurring.
22:37We also have new information tonight that you heard John Roberts ask about, about the origins of the coronavirus.
22:53Multiple sources say this may be the costliest government cover-up of all time by China.
22:58The belief now, you heard the chairman of the Joint Chiefs asked about it, that the intelligence was inconclusive.
23:05But there is a growing belief that the COVID-19 virus originated in the Wuhan lab, not as a bioweapon, but as China's effort to find and deal with viruses to show the world China was as good as or better than the U.S. on that front.
23:19It's believed that the virus was back to human, and then the human, patient zero, worked at the lab, went into the population in Wuhan, and the virus quickly spread from there.
23:32As of today, we know that the Chinese Communist Party has shut down any outside interference or investigations in the matter.
23:40Fox News also reported that the United States has opened a full-scale investigation on whether the novel coronavirus escaped from the Wuhan laboratory.
23:48We tried, you'll remember from the opening days, to get our scientists, our experts on the ground there, but we weren't able to do that.
23:55The Chinese Communist Party wouldn't permit that to happen.
23:58We know now that China withheld information and data about the severity of the coronavirus that has been circulating in Wuhan since the fall of 2019.
24:09We also know that China has a biosafety level 4 lab that was not far from the wet market which the Chinese identified as the origin of the virus.
24:18One theory is that the 5G network's radiation is impairing the human immune system, allowing the virus to spread.
24:31It has been noted that the radiation of the 5G network is on the opposite end of the spectrum from harmful forms of radiation such as X-rays.
24:40Another theory is that the virus does not actually exist, and that all of this is an elaborate hoax.
24:47Perhaps the 5G towers are causing the symptoms.
24:50So the 5G story is complete and utter rubbish.
24:54It's nonsense.
24:55It's the worst kind of fake news.
24:57The reality is that the mobile phone networks are absolutely critical to all of us, particularly in a time when we are asking people to stay at home and to not see relatives and friends.
25:11But in particular, those are also the phone networks that are used by our emergency services and our health workers.
25:17And I'm absolutely outraged, absolutely disgusted that people would be taking action against the very infrastructure that we need to respond to this health emergency.
25:28This theory has been largely debunked since many of the countries affected by the virus do not have access to 5G technology.
25:36Nevertheless, in places like the UK, videos have emerged of vandals burning the 5G towers.
25:47Today, the greatest risk of global catastrophe doesn't look like this.
25:57Instead, it looks like this.
26:00If anything kills over 10 million people in the next few decades, it's most likely to be a highly infectious virus rather than a war.
26:12Not missiles, but microbes.
26:15Normalcy only returns when we've largely vaccinated the entire global population.
26:32To claim intellectual property for discoveries that the taxpayer paid for.
26:40And this is the crime behind letting somebody like Bill Gates with billions of dollars.
26:46Nobody elected him.
26:47He has no medical background.
26:49He has no expertise.
26:50But we let people like that have a voice in this country while we destroy the lives of millions of people.
26:56It began in healthy-looking pigs, months, perhaps years ago.
27:10A new coronavirus spread silently within herds.
27:15Gradually, farmers started getting sick.
27:18Infected people got a respiratory illness with symptoms ranging from mild flu-like signs to severe pneumonia.
27:25The sickest required intensive care.
27:28Many died.
27:30The John Hopkins Center for Health and Security, in partnership with the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, hosted Event 201.
27:40Event 201 was a high-level pandemic exercise on October 18, 2019.
27:46The exercise identified the ability of public and private partnerships to reduce the economic and societal consequences of a global pandemic.
27:56The reason some elevate Event 201 to the level of a conspiracy is the simulated virus's shocking similarity to the current pandemic.
28:04The forum also directly preceded the outbreak in China.
28:14The deeper we walk into this pandemic, as the world struggles in this chess match against the coronavirus, the more momentum conspiracies gain.
28:22The European patent, this is what I want you to see.
28:28This is very interesting.
28:29This patent is owned by a company called the Peerbright Institute.
28:35This is a European patent office, as you can see right there.
28:38Let me make it even bigger so you guys can see it.
28:40European patent office.
28:42Now, what's interesting is that this particular one here, this one, again, by the way, look at the application numbers.
28:50These are, if you look at who owns these, they're all, applicants are all this Peerbright Institute.
28:57I wonder who this Peerbright Institute is.
28:59Ah, look at this, Peerbright Institute, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
29:03Interesting, huh?
29:03It is a conflict of interest.
29:06And in fact, this is one of the things that I've been saying and would like to say to President Trump.
29:13Repeal the Bayh-Dole Act.
29:20Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation put over $100 million into the CDC and the World Health Organization.
29:27They also put over $20 million into John Hopkins University
29:31and have pledged over $10 billion to support vaccination research.
29:36The issue that really grabbed me as urgent were issues related to population.
29:42The problem is that the population is growing the fastest in the very poorest places.
29:49And so it's really an acute problem in a certain number of places.
29:53And we've got to make sure that we help out with the tools now
29:58so that they don't have an impossible situation later.
30:05It's just who I told you, Bill and Melinda Gates.
30:08I look at the news coming in.
30:11Every one of these stories certifies and confirms our worst nightmares.
30:16We're deep inside the New World border now.
30:21Overnight, all the hard-fought liberties are gone.
30:24And the mark of the beast is announced.
30:27And it's just who we told you would do the announcement.
30:30The closest thing to the Antichrist on this planet is Bill Gates.
30:35Creepy, evil medical officer of the New World Order.
30:39Who's pushing 5G?
30:40Dickhead.
30:41Who's pushing weather modification?
30:43Jerk-off.
30:45In fact, I shouldn't even joke around.
30:46Those names are too kind for him.
30:48He is a manifest hole in the hell.
30:54I told you he's the chief science officer of the New World Order.
30:58Folks over the years are like, why do you harp on Bill Gates?
31:00It's because they're devil worshippers.
31:06They like to kill people.
31:09Oh, I'm going to inject you with a shot.
31:12We've got to turn the corner sometime.
31:14Holy hell!
31:16Microchips, world government, forced inoculations.
31:19This is world government, forced inoculations.
31:23Total tracking and microchips sewn into our skin.
31:26As entertaining as conspiracy theorists may be,
31:45many express justifiable fears about losing their freedom.
31:49After all, this has happened before.
31:51In this chess match, we await the final move.
32:03I certainly am opposed to anything that is going to take away from our constitutional rights as individual,
32:15take away from our privacy rights as individual and begin to have some sort of government program that's tracking us
32:23and putting us in categories that is unfair.
32:29Over 4 billion people of monotheistic faith share similar fears and concepts of doomday prophecies.
32:36These are linked to a mark or some form of identification that will control all that you do under the control of one world government.
32:42The text from Revelation was written in 95 AD by John the Elder.
32:47It's getting very close to a point where we're talking about,
33:09well, are people going to be taking the mark of the beast where they are having to have a certain mark given to them
33:20in order for them to buy, sell, and hold a job.
33:26ID2020 is an alliance that includes Microsoft and Gavi Vaccines.
33:31Gavi Vaccines is funded and owned by Bill and Melinda Gates.
33:34The ID2020 website states,
33:37The unique convergence of trends provides an opportunity to make a coordinated, concerted push to provide digital IDs to everyone.
33:46How will history judge Bill Gates' actions?
33:49At the core of it, free-thinking individuals evaluate information and draw their own conclusions.
33:55Is he a generous humanitarian?
33:57Or is his intent more nefarious?
34:00This is an honest question that needs to be clarified for many.
34:03Unfortunately, only time will tell.
34:09Humanity now stands at the crossroads.
34:12The time to choose is now.
34:16Should humanity follow its previous path with little change
34:20and wait for another war, famine, or pandemic to end our journey on this planet?
34:26Or can humanity find the courage to take its first steps along a better path?
34:32In this moment, humanity seeks freedom to dream again without fear.
34:39To end our isolation.
34:42I mean, it's everybody's job to provide for their family.
35:06And, I mean, it was good money, especially for around here.
35:12$15 an hour is a lot of money around here.
35:14But then the, I say, probably the cons started to outweigh the pros as far as, like, with coronavirus
35:24and the possibility of me getting sick and then getting everybody in my house sick.
35:28My mom having health issues.
35:30And you don't get a lot of those people in your life.
35:33You know, you only get one mom, one dad, one set of grandparents per side.
35:39You can always make more money.
35:41You can't get a new mom.
35:42Some things are irreplaceable in this world.
35:45I missed a bunch of my kids growing up.
35:48You got to do, put a balance in your life, whether or not how important your family is
35:54and family time is to you.
35:55Right now we need money, so I went to work.
36:00I mean, I don't, do I really want to take the chance and gamble with the lives of everybody
36:04that I care about?
36:05A lot of musicians are performing from home right now, but they're not making money from
36:29us.
36:30They're just doing it for the love of it, to be creative.
36:35Right now, everything is uncertain, and artists, they don't know when they're going to be able
36:40to make money again.
36:42But it's heartening to see them do what they can from home for others.
36:47They're still bringing their art.
36:49They are doing this for free, out of the love of it.
36:52They are recording.
36:53They are doing live performances.
36:55They are just broadcasting, making videos.
36:59I have seen so many amazing things.
37:05And it's beautiful to see them do this just for the love of it, just to try to help people
37:19feel better, that are also stuck at home.
37:22Hello, my name is Ayesha Deniz, and I am originally from Turkey.
37:41I'm a concert pianist, and I was living in London and then LA.
37:46And then, now I'm in quarantine with my family.
37:51I've been doing a lot of live concerts on Facebook, and I will do a few on YouTube as
37:57well, and Instagram.
37:59As a musician, I feel like it is our responsibility to keep the society positive and to create a
38:07community where people can support each other.
38:09And we can also support together all the healthcare workers.
38:13So, music is a wonderful platform that I always use for these occasions to unite people.
38:21And I think it's beautiful to see the reactions of people who have been participating in these
38:28interactive live streams.
38:29I've been getting a lot of positive reactions from all around the world, including doctors
38:35and nurses who are thanking me for these times where they log in and forget about Corona,
38:43even if it's just for a little bit of time.
38:45So, it's been an honor to take part in this, you know, difficult time.
39:00I don't know what we would do if we didn't have music, you know, painting, film, different
39:06things to occupy your mind during this time.
39:09I think, to be honest, my life was going pretty fast, and I didn't have much time to,
39:17like, think and be inspired and ponder about things.
39:21But, yeah, I got to sit and think about this, and I was like, you know, this thing is kind
39:27of serious, so how do I want to speak?
39:31And every time I get inspired about something, I think, how do I want to speak to it?
39:36And where I want to go with my art, and what I want to say with my art in this time period.
39:41And I had looked at my log that I write down all my commissions on, and I remember my cousin
39:47said, you know, I want you to do a painting for me.
39:51And I started thinking about this painting, and I was like, oh, wow, interesting.
39:56So, she's a nurse, and she actually commissioned me to do this painting well, well before this
40:03started, and she says to me that her favorite character is Wonder Woman.
40:08So, I was like, oh, that's cool.
40:11But after this pandemic started, I was like, wow, this is kind of profound.
40:17You know, she's being a nurse, and then Wonder Woman's a superhero.
40:21And again, this is all before they started saying this on TV about, you know, the nurses
40:28are superheroes, they're out on the front lines, they're the soldiers now.
40:32And I began to paint this painting, and it started making a brand new meaning for me.
40:36I was like, you know, this is serious.
40:39She is on the front lines, and she is like Wonder Woman right now.
40:43When I started this painting, people started to respond online.
40:54You know, I would post the progression of it.
40:57As I started to progress, they were like, whoa.
41:00And people would message me, like other nurses and just different people, and would talk about
41:06how this and, you know, how impactful this is, and how special this is.
41:11And, you know, this is giving hope to people right now through this work.
41:17And for me, that's one thing that I always wanted to do as an artist, is to give people hope.
41:25Regardless of what's going on in the world, I felt like my work was here to give people,
41:31you know, bring light to the darkness, in other words.
41:41A lot of the artists I've talked to are focusing on recording during this time,
41:50but that doesn't pay their bills or put food on their table.
41:54There's not really a finite answer for when this is going to be over,
41:58when to start booking shows again, and when life will go on as normal.
42:03I woke up to just emails and Facebook messages of people from our community saying,
42:14what are you going to do?
42:15How can we help?
42:17What ways can we support you during this time?
42:20Just giving us ideas of a different pivot to take, maybe.
42:23And just the outpouring of love and support that we've received since we took over in November,
42:32and now since we haven't been able to be open,
42:35I think that there's a ton of hope in this town and a ton of love and support
42:42that people want the things that they move to this town to exist when we come out of this.
42:48We were flooded with uncertainty.
42:54What does this mean?
42:56How are we going to handle it?
42:58How are we going to treat it?
43:00And then we ended up with the whole medication scenarios that we are still in.
43:08And we did, for the first time, see streets that were totally, totally deserted.
43:18We're all in this together.
43:19We've heard that line a number of times.
43:22We are all in this together.
43:25And we want our brothers and our sisters, no matter what their faith is,
43:32we want all of us and all of them to come out and come out stronger and come out better.
43:39When we get to be with one another again, it's going to be wonderful.
43:49How can we take for granted all those freedoms that we had before that we took for granted?
43:55We know that we must take care of one another.
44:00While things are not likely to go back exactly the same way they were,
44:06we can bring them to a better place.
44:13We're all humans.
44:14We all have to share this place.
44:17Like there's no sense in fighting each other over stupid crap.
44:19We all have to share this place.
44:47Throughout this uphill battle, we approach a day when we will be free to walk amongst the crowds.
45:05But what has humanity learned in its isolation?
45:13Humanity found new ways to unite.
45:17Humanity found new ways to käytt fuse and enter.
45:24Humanity found new ways to性 people.
45:29Humanity found new ways to rescue and fight them.
45:33Humanity found new ways to makearios and to build their wpis in
45:39the air to theатara.
45:42From the artists, to the stadiums we will once again fill, the heroes we dream to be, the star-crossed lovers, the mothers and fathers, and the children playing fearlessly.
45:59When we unite, even apart, we can do this.
46:12We will find a higher road together to truly be free.
46:23Now, what will you do?
46:38If I were the devil, if I were the devil, if I were the prince of darkness, I'd want to engulf the whole world in darkness,
46:50and I'd have a third of its real estate and four-fifths of its population, but I wouldn't be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree, thee.
46:59So I'd set about however necessary to take over the United States.
47:03I'd subvert the churches first. I'd begin with a campaign of whispers.
47:07With the wisdom of a serpent, I would whisper to you as I whispered to Eve, do as you please.
47:12To the young, I would whisper that the Bible is a myth. I would convince them that man created God instead of the other way around.
47:19I would confide that what's bad is good, and what's good is square.
47:24And the old, I would teach to pray after me, our Father, which art in Washington.
47:31And then I'd get organized. I'd educate authors in how to make lurid literature exciting so that anything else would appear dull and uninteresting.
47:40I'd threaten TV with dirtier movies, and vice versa. I'd peddle narcotics to whom I could.
47:45I'd sell alcohol to ladies and gentlemen of distinction. I'd tranquilize the rest with pills.
47:51If I were the devil, I'd soon have families at war with themselves, churches at war with themselves, and nations at war with themselves, until each in its turn was consumed.
48:02And with promises of higher ratings, I'd have mesmerizing media fanning the flames.
48:09If I were the devil, I would encourage schools to refine young intellects, but neglect to discipline emotions. Just let those run wild.
48:16Until before you knew it, you'd have to have drug-sniffing dogs and metal detectors at every schoolhouse door.
48:23Within a decade, I'd have prisons overflowing. I'd have judges promoting pornography.
48:30Soon I could evict God from the courthouse, then from the schoolhouse, and then from the houses of Congress.
48:36And in his own churches, I would substitute psychology for religion and deify science.
48:41I would lure priests and pastors into misusing boys and girls and church money.
48:46If I were the devil, I'd make the symbol of Easter an egg and the symbol of Christmas a bottle.
48:52If I were the devil, I'd take from those who have and give to those who wanted until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious.
49:00And what'll you bet? I couldn't get whole states to promote gambling as the way to get rich.
49:09I would caution against extremes in hard work, in patriotism, in moral conduct.
49:17I would convince the young that marriage is old-fashioned, that swinging is more fun, that what you see on TV is the way to be.
49:27And thus I could undress you in public, and I could lure you into bed with diseases for which there is no cure.
49:37In other words, if I were the devil, I'd just keep right on doing what he's doing.
