| 0:00.0 | Everyone continues to panic over COVID. |
| 0:02.2 | The media pretend universal mail-in voting is a great idea. |
| 0:04.9 | And Trump does another disastrous interview. |
| 0:06.9 | I'm Ben Shapiro. |

| 0:20.4 | Slash Ben. Now, there is a real gap that |
| 0:22.7 | has emerged in reality. It's a rift in the space time continuum. See, there's reality on the one end. |
| 0:28.5 | And this reality basically says that COVID's bad. It's risky. You should be careful. Also, |
| 0:34.5 | it says that despite reopening in Texas, Arizona, and Florida, and despite the fact that there were increased |
| 0:39.4 | hospitalizations and some increased deaths, that that number has started to go down again. |
| 0:44.0 | The data suggests that things are not looking bad in places like New York and New Jersey, |

It doesn't mean go into extraordinarily risky circumstances. It doesn't mean don't wear a mask. It does mean that this notion we're going to lock down forever is very silly, right? That would be the |
| 1:13.1 | accurate way of putting a reality. Then there's the hair on fire media. There are the politicians. And that is, we are all going to die. You, you personally, are going to die of COVID. Sure, you're 20 years old and you've never had a health issue in your entire life. You will probably die of COVID. Not only you, all of your friends, everyone will probably die of COVID. That is the only rationale I can come up with |
| 1:32.1 | for the way that politicians are currently acting. See, here's the thing. People want government |
| 1:36.9 | to do all the things. People have this perverse notion that government can save you from all the |
| 1:41.1 | bad things that happen in the universe. Now, government does have a role when it comes to global pandemics in ensuring, for |
| 1:46.9 | example, that people cannot enter from countries, that the pandemic is extraordinarily |
| 1:51.8 | prevalent. |
