Transcript

0:00 the joe rogan experience train by day joe rogan podcast by night all day Yes, great question. lieutenant colonel. My sister went to West Point in my family first. So she's 10 years older than and now lives in Houston with his family. serious military family. It is. My mom's the best of us. So she stood at home for two months in 2006 So this is just a mindset that you were raised with.

3:22 we were taught to do to give back to the country that gave us all that we have. Now, to all the things that are going on in the country right now, Brother went to and building on that instead of standing by idling and watching the country burn? and all the problems that we're seeing. changes everyone's perception of the police. of course you know so we have this distorted perception of what happens when cops meet people people here it goes in 2019 there's 697 195 000 full-time law enforcement officers 697 000 wow

6:58 because that's that's ridiculous and the people who end up suffering the most when you defund the he he's a that's a leader you know I mean he's a guy who he bona fide leader 100 yeah undeniable the, A guy who's been probably, this is the poster boy for what's wrong with the system. And law enforcement. We had a few idiots that treated some prisoners very poorly and posted the pictures up in the world, saw that.

9:25 That's not even an issue. There's too much talking that has to be done. You're taking away the safety of black and brown people. Right. Yeah. Here's the big problem. who's a homeowner and you believe in the second amendment and you have a firearm and you hear I don't believe they did. It's the police. It is. What's really important to me is I heard a story when I went to go visit the police

13:47 alive so he's taking off his face he's taking off his vest and then they have the thousands 600 and how many thousand people families have to deal with this every single solitary day yeah and most there's no real answer. And communities are calling for the police Yes, do it and then you go and do it. Yes, and then what happens violence? That's right. You you have to have the fucking police right? Yeah when Trump Trump tweets law and order in all caps

15:29 I love the video. He was like, this is the best I've felt in 20 years. about earlier i had you had it yeah my whole family had it but No, it seems like it's pretty common. It's not. And as somebody, and we were talking about it earlier, Never asymptomatic, seem to have zero problem with it. Yeah. covid 19 that's right meanwhile trump has all those things wrong with him and the medication

17:38 And there's been a lot of resistance to that. I saw this the other night. Yeah, so which would be his second term right when it ends? Right when it ends. It would be Joe It's not high. It's about 78. Which would be his second term, right when it ends. Some people are comparing his timeline of And then does it 28 days? Good question. And even obesity.

19:59 Either way, not good for 70-year-old people to get it. I hope they have this rapid response, Yes. I was very nervous. He was a cancer survivor in 2006. Which is kind of something to point out too. Because when you go into a situation, I've read some studies, you even hear about cancer. anxiety and alleviating a certain amount of stress is probably good for you. And then also having as little burden in your life in terms of like negative relationships,

23:31 We've got to shut down restaurants. Yeah, what they should do is put these big, It's on very low. work out it's cranky he he's quick to judge things quick to say fuck that guy that's right like all like, come on, man. And I think it's important to me that I do something extremely difficult that might suck you got to kill something every day, in case of war, dude.

26:11 100%. But I take days off. you don't even think about even if it's just you got to do 100 push-ups and 100 body weight squats people would have actually just chosen to do this for 10 minutes? Like you did what you needed to do. now what has the campaign trail been like what is in general what do you have to goodness yeah Yes. They're not doing anything.

29:17 When I met you in Houston was what, July? Thank you very much. the latter, the person-to-person stuff. So you're not really allowed to have big gatherings like Yeah. And I think we've done a pretty good job at getting out in the community. I'll come over, meet everybody to the best of my ability, give for the houston oilers back in the back in the love you blue days and i don't know what the love

32:27 You're making that up. You didn't go to the Super Bowl. i'm the wrong guy man i know i get it people they're like what the fuck is wrong i've had Let's talk about that. Thank you, sir. Appreciate it. Yeah, when I saw you was uh right around the time that i made the decision yeah um tom He's in the wrong place. Yeah. I think Texas, in a lot of ways, is what other people think of when they think of America.

35:49 Yeah. That's right. that they're going to do? And it's near Bristol Bay, which is like, which one is it? that the podcast is eye-opening it's really fascinating but you got a mine to I'm a big fan of the government empowering the private sector to innovate to get to the next, you know, affordable, renewable source that's going to happen. It's my opinion, if Jeff Bezos doesn't get there first, the first trillionaire, in my

38:43 That's so important. Nobody's talking about the other countries. So China and India are building because natural gas burns So we don't have to do that anymore. vehicles in the world today that are gas powered. We always do. And as somebody that's Houston born and bred, this is the conversation that's near and dear to my heart because, again, it's the energy capital of the world.

41:30 Yes. industry has been hit pretty hard too. Started off with just obviously a shortage of demand because people just stopped driving. your phone, it's hydrocarbons. the mattress that they're sleeping on, that sounds great. of the oil and gas industry? Yeah, wind, solar, and battery, lithium ion, these kinds of things. But they also require something to charge them.

45:20 We know about Chernobyl. Mind boggling. Yeah. But it kind of goes back to the oil and gas industry as well. That's it. Thank you, Elon Musk. Let's pursue this. is technologies That can be used in high pollution areas and cities and urban centers. That's awesome. That's right. About 150 years ago, we were riding horses. Yeah. Like the proponents of the Green New Deal, they are doing a good thing.

49:17 And then they'll propose it this way, that this person does not care about the future Of course the exact same thing would be happening. It's a spiritual moment. You're talking about your youngest and how crazy it is. Yes, yes. Well, we're so polarized today. and it's insanity. The way you find out if you're right. That's important. So what are they saying, though, when they're questioning this?

52:11 if you aren't going to tell me a substantive viable solution by, So what's the path to do? like green things it's beautiful but biden says he doesn't believe in the green new deal though right he was no he so first he said Yes. The Corn Pot one. We talk like four times a day. And then now, I don't think it's very Yeah. You understand this. And that's just not where I believe Texas or really the nation is.

56:02 reason why i'm running is because i always like to add perspective and add color to the history of this country. It's beautiful. The reason why Trophy Point or Battle Monument was created and the reason why those cannons are surrounding it buried into the ground muzzle first is to commemorate the notion of never aiming our cannons at our fellow countrymen again.

57:41 and the first thing people tell me all day every day is, pendulum back this way by just being reasonable human beings. He's so measured and so rational and reasonable. I got to ask this. And I think that would be an excellent thing, to be honest with you. favorite people on the entire planet because what they do and their dedication to service, sacrifice,

1:00:25 It's that love. that's somewhere in all of us. That video is crazy. The text is reloaded. so he tells you he's going to jump out of an airplane I'm asking Save Texas. And that's him live, too. Oh, look at the landing. Dan Crenshaw. Awesome guy. Yeah, people are really worried about all folks like me moving from California. Yeah. there's certain things that are just not wise yes and a lot of those things are ruining california

1:05:55 wear masks and be careful and take care of themselves and take vitamin d and zinc and until after the election. We just believe in liberty. I did not know that. There's more tigers in private collections in Texas. 16 Netflix special. That's unbelievable. There's as many as 5,000 tigers living just in Texas. How much does a tiger cost? it's just like yeah like 500 bucks a piece i'm like are you kidding me jamie's got something

1:08:59 That's nuts. house it just happens to have a tiger in it that's that's that's absolutely what does it say what's They're massive, too. It's so big. the fuck god damn that's big click on that jamie yeah what what that's unbelievable yeah that's big Click on that Jamie Yeah What What That lady's just feeding it a bottle Yeah. It's like, Cause there's too many of them.

1:11:48 And so another place cold in the winter. They got to stick together. They got to stick together. Yeah, I got a good buddy of mine lives in Iowa. Shout out to you. Yeah. They're just nice. Well, it gets so fucking cold in the winter. They got to stick together. You have to be nice. his reasons are the most nutty ever. I believe, because the best whitetail deer hunting in the world, arguably,

1:13:29 Oh, my gosh. It's absolutely incredible. It's like shooting a cannonball, but... she'll always say the kind of values of Iowa are like kind of the values of Texas. Yeah, I grew up in Boston. just watching people slide so we called the cops i'm really hanging out people keep slamming into It chills you out. You appreciate the fire. Yeah, but that's the problem with Iowa is the cold.

1:16:36 A lot of people are exiting California, and they're trying to find places to go. I have friends that come from California. Yes. new thing i mean think about it shut the fuck up about what you just said think about what you just and then everybody freaks out, so you go, okay, we changed our mind. And the problem is that when you are young, when you're 18 years old, one year means a lot.

1:18:54 of that for roughly a year. And I just feel like there's a way to do it to make sure that the kids After the election, Wesley. And the other thing that people don't want to take into consideration or even don't want to discuss is how many people are dying during this COVID crisis because of depression, because of suicide, because they lost their business, they lost their income, they lost their livelihood, they lost their home.

1:20:12 Now we see five a day. Walk in, what do you do? Well, it's not readily available everywhere yet. You get tested. We're letting people. and not expose yourself to other people that are at risk, that are high risk or that are vulnerable. Is it a year? It seems to be none. I think, well, I love that you said you brought up the Constitution. If you don't like the tax rate in one state,

1:23:25 of what the construct of this country Love the military. And then here we are talking about regulation to take This is what's weird about this. thing what if covid is like the common cold and people are just going to get it from now on like the flu or like the flu right so what what do you are we giving up enormous amounts of power to the So this is the good thing about information.

1:26:15 So I'm going to move. people. They failed their citizens. I think that area is so liberal that they're not going to learn and the police chief says this, you're on your own well you have now You found out. You took it by force. dictatorship in a six block thing and you did it quick you became the worst what happens that's right oh this is terrible that's right we don't we don't want that no it's a wake-up call for a lot of people it is a wake-up call yeah um and then

1:30:10 more police yeah okay come on down we need you come on down here to texas yeah congratulations What are you going to do about rape? well, Yeah. Unquestionable happens. Yeah, that's that's life. Yeah, and you need law and order. Yes, you do fix that Yeah, you need consequences for unlawful acts and the best way to do that is with the police they've seen murders and violence and car accidents and you name it.

1:32:12 Human trafficking. meanwhile there's like people are out there risking their life to stop human trafficking so when you read an article like that u.s marshals rescued 72 Really? And we, as a culture, have got to work with local law enforcement to start to curb this thing because that's where the rubber meets the road. Yeah. I don't understand why you're not seeing this on CNN.

1:35:12 ...on primetime news. these kids in a truck of it. So if you just kind of hang out around these areas, then you'll see a lot more of it. Oh, my goodness. also my job to continue to protect them and all of these young people. There clearly is an appetite and there clearly is a culture for it. Yeah. Are they doing it through, are they using code? how are they doing this i've heard all the above

1:38:56 the subject became so taboo Everyone's wacky. is that it confuses everybody. It's such a symptom of how sick we are as a culture and that our priorities are so skewed giant problem like this in this country that's what i'm saying i'm digging through here and then these 35 kids over a period of time and then they're reporting we found 35 because like it's

1:41:58 We're finding this five here, six here. And it's dangerous. What other subjects and what other concerns do you have about the War II. And I think that's actually a part of the issue and a part of the problem. So when I get to Because people that are willing to give their lives both foreign and domestic. I think that's the beginning to start to bridge the divide

1:44:44 I'm one person. One person can't change the entire system. going to be one of 435 congressmen and women that are currently serving this country today. that have never served, don't understand it, And when I think about these brave men, way better men than me, paid the ultimate sacrifice, we as lawmakers and we as leaders better make sure I like all that.

1:48:32 look, this might be it for you. They look at me and they say, Yep. It's not. That's it. You might see it So we have now seen the same incident like eight times on eight different platforms, which gives the perception that it's worse than it really is. Tomorrow. Let's just let's just let's just go back to the racial issues in this country. Would they have nominated me?

1:52:27 But you can't just ignore all these problems that exist right now. one of the things that i've discussed in this podcast many times is there are parts of this what strategies can be used that aren't being used to fix this? It's not all white people's fault, actually. we're pointing fingers and nothing and nothing gets done so the police are brutalizing us and a black person

1:55:20 amongst brown and black people. Look, I have been discriminated against. And this is where it takes real tough leadership. I can deal with it. So now what can we do about it? We've been at war with each other and we were able to overcome that we can overcome this too Yes. in my opinion in Chicago as long as as long as It's going to have to be incremental.

1:59:34 that there's a direct effort to try to improve these places to let people know we care we know And this is what they grow accustomed to because they grow up with it. called unity 2020 and he wanted to have conversations between the left and the right But the question is, the First Amendment, what is this here? banned so they banned it and why why because they don't agree with the sentiment they think that

2:02:38 And that freedom of speech is supposed to be the freedom to discuss ideas. And to understand if maybe there's some knowledge in there that you can acquire. I mean, discussing things. Where do you draw the line on what's true and what's not? It's ridiculous. You say learn to code, you would get banned. It's nuts. people in a certain way sway who sway you is it swaying you are they making you think the earth

2:06:09 just pop them just pop that switch and now they're off twitter forever fuck what'd you say unity what So this topic is near and dear to my heart because you could imagine somebody like me going to Ithaca, College town? And I would talk to people, if i was down there i don't think i'd even vote for you i said thanks man and then he goes but but But here's some money to win.

2:08:46 disrespect to the very fiber of someone's human being. We've got to get to the point where we So we have to lead by example. we ban it and it gets cancelled? And I think our founding fathers intended it, intended it for it to be exactly what Millions of people. being run almost entirely by left-wing people is very problematic especially with their penchant

2:12:18 And that's actually what I intend on doing too here is something where people would push back against this, but just arguing and shitting this i mean why don't you delete it like why don't you stop think about that i can't sleep they get up in the middle of the they can do whatever they want it's a private company that reaches billions of people. It's terrible because it

2:15:27 about it is, again, what I always retort and go back to, that's conversations like this. the bulk of your life, you've lived in America for long enough to understand freedom and liberty, And we need to have conversations with leaders in politics I feel like we're I see the glass half full. How are you going to call yourself progressive when you are anti communication it's the antithesis

2:17:53 And they want it to be confirmed. people that ask me that start a question off like this wesley how could you wrong let me let me just Yeah. How much grief do you get for being black and being Republican at the same time? Right. Yeah. It's not wise. And we accept it. Well, I'm very excited about the entrance of all these veterans getting into politics thank

2:21:14 Literally trial by fire. Yeah. to give up rights in order to have safety. And then boom, next thing holy shit they're hilarious he's talking shit talking shit is a very important part of human beings so shut the fuck up exactly right yeah that's exactly right because because it was toxic it That's right. He's like, they're trying to neuter men. If you're a nerdy feminine man and you

2:25:21 they feel bad about their relationships with them because the the women dismissed them or that they feel bad about their relationships with them because the women dismissed them or weren't interested in them or, you know, or just, it's just. Yes. That's where it comes down to. level-headed. She is extremely shrewd. She is extremely smart. She's amazing.

2:27:13 Exactly, exactly, exactly. Yes. Yes. Celebrate it. an awesome point today. Yeah, me too. We're working hard at it. I love it, and I love the guys like you are out there trying to represent, brother. Trying to represent America correctly. Thank you, brother. I appreciate you. Get out there.
