00:00You
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.
03:24All right.
03:33All right.
03:36When comparing the COVID-19 pandemic to major pandemics of the modern era,
03:58we have a higher global population now, but with fewer fatalities.
04:02Currently, COVID-19 pales in comparison to other pandemics of recent history.
04:09A 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.
04:22During medieval Europe, it was common belief that bathing too much could be unhealthy.
04:27After 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.
04:42Like the novel coronavirus, the bubonic plague jumped from animal to human with devastating
04:47results.
04:49Imagine, 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, spread from flea-infested
05:02rodents carried on trade ships from Asia and Asia Minor.
05:07Unlike COVID-19, modern medicine is equipped to detect and mitigate the plague, protecting
05:13human lives.
05:21If we look at the 20th century, and we look at the death chart of the 20th century, I think
05:26everybody 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.
05:37But then you'll see this other spike that is as large as World War II, right after World
05:43War I.
05:44And 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, killing
05:55an estimated 50 million people globally.
06:00Though the Spanish Flu's origins are still debated, soldiers from around the world returning
06:04to 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.
06:20The Spanish Flu had no vaccine nor antibiotics to treat the illness, and people were forced
06:25into isolation, which leads us to today.
06:33There are now more than a million cases of coronavirus.
06:37That's globally.
06:38The United States now has more than 273,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus.
06:50COVID-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
07:02how it spreads.
07:03COVID-19 is a respiratory influenza.
07:07The virus is spread from infected individuals or contaminated surfaces.
07:11The 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.
07:31As the body starts to fight the virus, irritation within the lungs makes breathing difficult.
07:38Most infected individuals have only minor flu-like symptoms.
07:42The majority of patients that develop serious symptoms possess underlying conditions of a weakened
07:47immune system.
07:50With modern healthcare and the ability to communicate worldwide, it has given us hope that we will
07:55quickly be on the offensive against COVID-19.
07:58To learn more, we must speak to those who have been directly affected by the virus.
08:05I was exposed before COVID became very prominent here.
08:21I was put on a two-week quarantine.
08:24actually, a bunch of my staff was.
08:28It was not easy.
08:31Everything that happens, every allergy makes you think you have it.
08:36It's very tough.
08:39You have family.
08:41Chest x-rays.
08:44It shows you what could happen to you.
08:49And it's not just the elderly.
08:50It's not just the sick.
08:53People that don't really have any other issues get it.
08:59It makes it very scary.
09:02It could be a carrier.
09:05You could be transmitting it.
09:07And your lungs could be being eaten by this virus.
09:10And 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
09:22covered with it.
09:23It's in the air.
09:25It'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.
09:39So how does that not get back on you?
09:41That first person that came into our hospital weeks and weeks ago, they ended up dying.
09:47They were not old.
09:48They didn't come in with the typical symptoms.
09:50It was actually one of the first ones that came in with abdominal pain.
09:53It wasn't even a lung issue.
09:56That's why me and a bunch of my colleagues were exposed.
10:01Because it wasn't the typical signs of symptoms.
10:09Well, hello.
10:11I'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, probably for another fortnight.
10:24And very certainly beyond that.
10:28I share most people's opinion that quarantining is far from being easy.
10:35We feel isolated, alone, very much lonely sometimes, with no one to talk to.
10:45My experience has been twice as difficult because I actually got coronavirus a couple of weeks ago.
10:54I did not suffer all the symptoms, but I basically spent the night sneezing, blowing my nose, coughing.
11:04It was very, very bothering.
11:06But my sister was sick.
11:10She could neither smell nor taste nor breathe.
11:15So 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.
11:30America will again and soon be open for business.
11:36We cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself.
11:40We're not going to let the cure be worse than the problem.
11:42The 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.
11:56Reverend Drake is a minister in a small rural town in Western North Carolina.
12:01I'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.
13:21And 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, hey, 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.
14:08Madeline and Cody recently became owners of a small business which was ordered to suspend all business activities, and 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.
14:47And we were all looking forward to a very productive springtime business owners like the ones that just moved in next door.
14:57Very excited about opening their business and looking forward to the summer and the tourist season, really.
15:04And now there's not really anything to look forward to.
15:08And just recently in March, we were thinking of early March, we were thinking about getting a place in town and taking on our own household again.
15:19And things seem to be moving good.
15:22Good.
15:23And yeah, St. Patrick's Day was our last day open.
15:29One 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.
15:47Everything was dark.
15:48There were less people in the streets the next day.
15:51Like everything shut down immediately.
15:53Stay home.
15:54Stay in.
15:55Stay home.
15:56Stay home.
15:57Stay home.
15:58Stay home.
15:59Stay home.
16:00Stay home.
16:01Stay home.
16:02Stay home.
16:03Stay home.
16:04Stay home.
16:05Stay home.
16:06Stay home.
16:07Stay home.
16:08Stay home.
16:09Stay home.
16:10Stay home.
16:11Stay home.
16:12Stay home.
16:13Stay home.
16:14Stay home.
16:15Stay home.
16:16Stay home.
16:17Stay home.
16:18Stay home.
16:19Stay home.
16:20Stay home.
16:21Question, why?
16:36What the world needs right now,
16:38what many brilliant minds are devoted to discovering,
16:41is how to stop COVID-19.
16:44A few days ago, an Australian company announced
16:47it hoped to begin human trials of a vaccine within weeks.
16:51But in other countries, especially China and the United States,
16:56developing and owning a coronavirus vaccine
16:59has become a biotech arms race with political overtones.
17:05I'm not here to convince anybody.
17:07I'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
17:14and then let you decide what truth is.
17:16As with any world event these days,
17:18conspiracy theories inevitably rise.
17:21It appears that human condition seeks any explanation
17:24to increase one's understanding,
17:26or worse, an excuse to lay blame.
17:28In constructing a conspiracy theory,
17:31there is at minimum a party responsible
17:34whose desire for money or power
17:36creates or exploits an event which leverages confusion
17:39or fear of the unknown.
17:56We need to get going because time is not on our side.
17:59In fact, if there's one positive thing
18:03that can come out of the Ebola epidemic,
18:06it's that it can serve as an early warning,
18:09a wake-up call to get ready.
18:11If 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,
18:25you will understand why history, the history of the last 32 years that 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 challenge.
18:32that their predecessors were faced with.
19:02that Wuhan suddenly had a strange new virus erupting there.
19:08The head of this government laboratory in Wuhan, Shi Zhengli, was called in to investigate.
19:15The Scientific American reports,
19:17if coronaviruses were the culprit, she remembers thinking,
19:21could they have come from our lab?
19:24Well, later she posted on WeChat,
19:26I swear with my life, the virus has nothing to do with the lab.
19:30And I have no reason to say she's wrong.
19:35Unfortunately, I also have no reason to say she's right.
19:38I don't know.
19:39And 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.
19:48When searching for the origin of this virus, we have to start in Wuhan, China.
19:56The 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 Shi 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.
20:47They 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, this 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, the 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.
31:22Total tracking and microchips shown into our skin.
31:30We've got to turn the corner sometime.
31:35Holy hell!
31:37God almighty!
31:39What the hell?
31:41As entertaining as conspiracy theorists may be, many express justifiable fears about losing their freedom.
31:49After all, this has happened before.
31:53In this chess match, we await the final move.
31:57I 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,
32:19and 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 doomsday prophecies.
32:36These are linked to a mark or some form of identification that will control all that you do
32:40under the control of one world government.
32:42The text from Revelation was written in 95 AD by John the Elder.
32:53It'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
33:14where they are having to have a certain mark given to them
33:20in order for them to buy, sell, and hold a job.
33:25ID2020 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
33:40to 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?
34:27Or can humanity find the courage to take its first steps along a better path?
34:33In this moment, humanity seeks freedom to dream again without fear.
34:39To end
34:40our isolation.
34:42I mean, it's everybody's job to provide for their family, and I mean, it was good money, especially for around here.
35:11$15 an hour, $15 an hour is a lot of money around here.
35:14But then the, I say, probably the con started to outweigh the pros as far as like with coronavirus and the possibility of me getting sick and then getting everybody in my house sick, my mom having health issues, and 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, you can always make more money, you can't get a new mom.
35:42Some things are irreplaceable in this world.
35:45I got, I missed a bunch of my kid growing up.
35:47You got to do, uh, put a balance in your life whether or not how important your family is and family time isn't to you.
35:55Right now we need money, so I went to work.
35:59I mean, I don't, do I really want to take the chance and gamble with the lives of everybody that I care about?
36:05A lot of musicians are performing from home right now, uh, but they're not making money from us.
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 to 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, they are doing this for free, out of the love of it.
36:52They are recording, they are doing live performances, they are just broadcasting, uh, making videos.
36:59I have seen so many amazing things.
37:12And it's beautiful to see them do this just for the love of it.
37:17Just to try to help people feel better that are also stuck at home.
37:29Hello, 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, and 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 well and Instagram.
37:59As a musician, I feel like it is our responsibility to keep the society positive and to create a community where people can support each other and we can also support together all the healthcare workers.
38:12So 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 interactive live streams.
38:30I've been getting a lot of positive reactions from all around the world, including doctors and nurses who are thanking me for, um,
38:37for, um, these, uh, times where they log in, uh, and forget about Corona, even if it's just for a little bit of time.
38:46So it's been an honor, uh, to take part in, in this, uh, you know, difficult, uh, time.
38:53I don't know what we would do if we didn't have music, you know, painting, film, different things to occupy
39:08your mind during this time. I think, to be honest, my life was going pretty fast and I didn't have much
39:17time to like think and, and, and be inspired and ponder about things. Um, but yeah, I got to sit
39:23and think about this and I was like, you know, this, this, this thing is kind of serious. So
39:29how do I want to speak? And every time I get inspired about something, I think, how do I want to,
39:34how do I want to speak to it and where I want to go with my art and what I want to say with my art in
39:39this time period. And I had looked at my log that I write down on my commissions on it. I remember my
39:46cousin said, you know, I want you to do a painting for me. And I started thinking about this painting
39:53and I was like, Oh wow. Interesting. So she's a nurse and, uh, she actually commissioned me to do
40:00this painting well, well before this started. And she says to me that her favorite character is Wonder
40:07Woman. So I was like, Oh, that's cool. But after this pandemic started, I was like, wow, this is
40:15kind of profound. You know, she's being a nurse and then Wonder Woman's a superhero. And, and again,
40:23this is all before they started saying this on, on, on TV about, you know, the nurses are superheroes.
40:29They're out on the front lines. They're the soldiers now. And I began to paint this painting and it
40:34started making a brand new meaning for me. I was like, you know, this is serious. This,
40:39she is on the front lines and she is like Wonder Woman right now.
40:50When I started this painting, people started to respond online. You know, I would post the progression
40:56of it. As I started to progress, they were like, Whoa. And people would message me like other nurses
41:03and, um, just different people. And we'd talk about how this and you know, how impactful this is and
41:10how special this is. And, you know, this is giving hope to people right now through this work. And for me,
41:18that's, 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,
41:30you know, bring light to the darkness, in other words.
41:46A lot of the artists I've talked to are focusing on recording during this time, but that doesn't
41:50pay their bills or put food on their table. There's not really a finite answer for when this is going
41:57to be over, when 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? How can we help? What ways can we support you during this time?
42:20Just giving us ideas of a different pivot to take maybe.
42:25And just the outpouring of love and support that we've received since we took over in November. And
42:32now since we haven't been able to be open, I think that there's a ton of hope in this town and a ton of
42:41love and support that people want the things that they move to this town to exist when we come out of this.
42:47We were flooded with uncertainty. What does this mean? How are we going to handle it? How are we going to treat it?
43:01And then we ended up with the whole medication scenarios that we are still in. And we did,
43:09for the first time, see streets that were totally deserted. We're all in this together. We've heard
43:20that line a number of times. We are all in this together. And we want our brothers and our sisters,
43:29no matter what their faith is, we want all of us and all of them to come out and come out stronger
43:38and come out better.
43:44When we get to be with one another again, it's going to be wonderful. How can we take for granted
43:51all those freedoms that we had before that we took for granted? We know that we must take care of one
43:59another. While things are not likely to go back exactly the same way they were,
44:05we can bring them to a better place.
44:13We're all humans. We all have to share this place like there's no sense in fighting each other over
44:19stupid crap.
44:28We're all humans.
44:30We're all humans are humans not trying to find out on them. But we have as many people
44:32that are actually on the other side start to measure what they may drink in.
44:36We're putting people on the other side.
44:39It's a part of our definitely things going to be why we think of ourïveals.
44:43We are looking at the spirit of dopo on Aroma's ladder.
44:46Throughout 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.
45:16Humanity found new ways to unite.
45:46The stadiums we will once again fill, the heroes we dreamed to be, the star-crossed lovers, the mothers and fathers, and the children playing fearlessly.
46:05When we unite, even apart, we can do this.
46:16We will find a higher road together to truly be free.
46:24Now, what will you do?
46:38If I were the devil, if I were the devil,
46:46if 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,
46:53but I wouldn't be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree.
46:58The.
46:59So I'd set about however necessary to take over the United States.
47:03I'd subvert the churches first.
47:05I'd begin with a campaign of whispers.
47:07With the wisdom of the serpent, I would whisper to you as I whispered to Eve.
47:11Do as you please.
47:13To the young, I would whisper that the Bible is a myth.
47:16I would convince them that man created God instead of the other way around.
47:20I would confide that what's bad is good and what's good is square.
47:25And the old I would teach to pray after me, our Father, which art in Washington.
47:31And then I'd get organized.
47:34I'd educate authors in how to make lurid literature exciting
47:37so that anything else would appear dull and uninteresting.
47:40I'd threaten TV with dirtier movies and vice versa.
47:43I'd peddle narcotics to whom I could.
47:45I'd sell alcohol to ladies and gentlemen of distinction.
47:48I'd tranquilize the rest with pills.
47:51If I were the devil, I'd soon have families at war with themselves,
47:54churches at war with themselves, and nations at war with themselves.
47:58Until 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,
48:13but 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.
48:27I'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 want it until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious.
49:01And what'll you bet?
49:03I would get whole states to promote gambling as the way to get rich.
49:10I would caution against extremes in hard work, in patriotism, in moral conduct.
49:18I 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.
49:44Paul Harvey.
49:46All right.
