Past simple

I thought if humans were ever threatened with an existential threat, we would abandon every single fight we were having and we would come together to win.

Hell, I thought if that virus came, we'd all be there, we'd be like, all right, no more racism, no more sexism.

And we'd go and we'd defeat the enemy aliens and then we'd come back and be like, all right, let's get back to the racism and sexism.

Everyone in the world came together to fight the aliens.

We stopped all of our, there was no politics.

As humans, we've become so comfortable knowing that we forget how uncertain life is.

We get taught every single day that we know, we know, we know, we get comfortable knowing.

You understand what a magic trick that is?

If you had that technology 500 years ago, you were like, oh, it'll rain on Thursday.

People would be like, kumba dindang, ginga wandang, ginga kumba dindang, ginga wandang, dindang kumba, wanda.

I remember how confident world leaders were as well.

One of my favorites was Prime Minister of the UK,

He went to a hospital during the pandemic and he was hugging people.

Like right at the beginning, he was hugging people, going around hugging people.

Prime Minister Johnson, do you think it's appropriate for you to be hugging people during a pandemic?

He's like, first of all, everyone needs to calm down.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma.

He was like, folks, we're gonna have it handled in 21 days, 21 days.

That disease came and kicked Trump and Boris deep in the chest.

Only reason they survived is because they're both heads of state.

Boris, to his credit, he came out of that hospital like he had seen Jesus.

He came from the hospital, held a press conference, shut everything down.

He was like, everybody, this is not a joke.

I was half expecting coronavirus to come around the corner like.

Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough.

Trump, on the other hand, didn't give a damn.

He came out of the hospital, could barely breathe, but still held a press conference.
