Joe Rogan Experience #1562 — Dave Smith Transcript

Transcript

0:00 Joe Rogan Podcast, check it out! I came in, I was doing my buddy Scott Horton's show And as much as I just despise Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, it was kind of nice of cursory understanding of politics and then they But you're right that I think most people, and it's not just politics. But I think we know enough to go to know that it stinks, that there's a lot of corruption.

3:19 of what Trump was to them. covered up. I mean, we have that woman on ABC news who was basically saying, I broke the story. I'm so sorry. hooked up with the actress yeah he that his request for Remembrance out at the National Memorial in London. What? He was a Royal Navy helicopter pilot in the war with Argentina to recapture the Falkland I'm a war hero and a royal.

6:53 man. if they weren't every bit as corrupt as those conspiracy No, because the press goes after Bill Clinton. and is planning to knock it down and build a new home. group, which I was trying to find too. the house where the little sell it. Yeah. I've heard it's set up with a lot of equipment, so we should be able to do a show on it. Fuck it. I don't believe in New York City anymore.

10:00 Okay. Bam. Just tell them we want one room to do the podcast Yeah, there you go. It's got to be this more, you know, inclusive normal. And so he's taken it upon himself that he's going to try to remake New York City in his progressive image while the city is going through the worst year it's been through in my lifetime. just one person one vote that's it no one has any additional influence at all well no but i'm just

12:36 la pre-covid was pretty badass you know the comedy store for us like obviously i'm comedy centric 16 plus percent. Because when the, you know, like New York, it's the same thing. there they would go out very rarely and when you see them they'd be like real sunken in and like but we'll get more of a sense of it over the next few years. don't really know that it's a true, but I don't claim to know. I think for sure it was some.

15:54 And it's very, very hard to weigh these things out. And as you pointed out, you'd have to weigh people are trying to shut down debate they want you to agree with their side and this is something Like you're going to Soviet Russia type shit. Well, AOC said it. She's going to be president. establishment democrats and and rise to national prominence so she did that i don't know right now

19:10 i was so delusional she goes and now i'm just so much more of a realist i'm um my worry about That might work. And there was some decent amount of unity. And then also things that might have been somewhat out of Obama's control, but not She just went, I'm Kamala Harris. My genders are she her no what the fuck is this what is going on no which I think is something that maybe we should

22:13 When you see what's going on in Portland this year where you had the fucking militias facing off against each other. Right, because people got shot and killed. in this fucking country. It's like, yeah, Joe Biden got elected. minutes of it are a chant we love you we love you i mean like what the fuck is that what's going on It's a rejection of being called a racist and being called a fascist.

24:56 Now you're working a shittier job. about your white privilege. the things that he got across he boiled down the whole thing to like make america great again You know what I'm saying? but there's also that on the opposition to trump's side where they try to boil things down to like Yeah. unless people start rejecting, Something like that He's a Trojan horse for socialism, which is actually complete bullshit.

28:36 The ones who basically caused this whole mess to begin with. sure and and and it's interesting it's a really important question that people might want to blurt out things. And he blurt out a lot of crazy shit, but then he'd also blurt out the truth. And these are the most pro military people around. Remember the Gold Star family? was like well you can't that's it he's he's done nope wasn't nope wasn't done imagine if he didn't

31:51 at the White House. New York Times has gone full woke. That's not exactly blaming them. But they're saying this in quotes. it seems like a very who revealed his identity, And then there were all these people in the media speculating, and they were like, well, the New York Times wouldn't do this So I think it's a very shady way to do journalism. Yes.

34:40 Then you don't necessarily have a story. It's not the same and how did he say it sliding into this horrible fascist state and they want The problem is when you get this distorted perception then you don't have a read. about basically everything. And now you read something in the New York Times like we did over the last 20 years and I'm not saying he didn't get anything wrong, but really, really big things like,

37:21 if people at least recognize They don't even address it. They'll say like, well, there's fake news out on the internet. A bunch of people called it Russian disinformation. Rudy Giuliani sold it on eBay. Well, look, it's basically They had his signature at the repair shop, that were made there. It's normal. this can harm Biden, and the fact that Comey then opens up the investigation again in the middle of the campaign, and that was basically what

41:25 I mean, they felt in a way that they were responsible for Donald Trump winning. He wasn't the Fox News guy. Well, what he claimed was that and they're saying Joe Biden, that he couldn't prove Joe Biden was. and they get into Jamie's emails and they say, they're playing games with words like i would have to read what exactly they're saying what exactly

44:19 Because, you know, the thing was they said they had these references to like the big guy and stuff like that, but that they couldn't prove that Joe Biden knew about this. thousand dollars or something like that for a speech in front of bankers and he was the guy Tons of them. I believe, after White House. That's the weird thing about someone on the way out.

46:02 Yeah, but do you know how insanely difficult it is to prove, first of all, to prove that there's voter fraud, so there i saw it twice now um was on msnbc and cnn where he was giving a press conference talent So we can't air this. because the lies could poison you or something. odd that everybody insists that it's way more votes than they would normally get.

48:11 and go buy something, It's not about that. And that morning, they were not confident that everything got downloaded, Do we really want to boil this down to determine the course of history based off what a few votes in swing states determine there's got There's a lot of people that were on the ballot in California. Oh, yeah. We're going to overthrow all of these monarchs in Europe, which Europe was mostly monarchs at the time.

51:48 Well, I mean, look, I think the alternative to all of this is liberty, which is the best I mean, look, for your side to be in control of it. Right. That's the Next Revolution guy? on vacations together like i know him very well that's cool by the way i know the exact interview Billions. And then he'd have people within his administration undermining him at every turn, at every turn.

55:36 is to defeat ISIS. isn't this great that at least one of the adults Oh, damn it. they'd bring thousands of soldiers in. He wrote this in the 80s. But then once he becomes president, you're like, But also the other problem is that But intellectually, he really just cares about being the best. No, it's not going to happen. revolt against. And he'd go, look,

59:26 You have to at least attack what he stands for. if you're actually gonna beat this system. Isn't it, I think you have to go for the jugular if you're actually going to beat this system. the war in Iraq and he voted. No, I totally understand. I think that you have to. what's happening in Yemen is like one of the biggest tragedies in my lifetime. about a lot of things.

1:03:10 up there. There were well over a million cases of cholera, which is basically, I mean, curable with, He also has a great, he had a great bill proposed to decriminalize marijuana on a federal level, a little bit of a killer instinct to become the alpha monkey, to become the leader of Biden. No question. We know that much. We know that right. Now, we don't know exactly who made

1:05:30 wrapped up in student debt and i think it's one of the best examples of first of all you have You never catch up. There's people to this day that are getting social security that are getting their social security docked because they owe money for student loans i mean you're at Maybe it should cost a little bit if you got out, 19% of your Social Security payments can be garnished to repay a student loan debt.

1:07:29 Look at this. It's crazy if you're that old and you're on a fixed income and we're broken off by ideologies For a while, you have these financial companies that are giving out the loans and then taking in the interest and profiting off of them. any other price in the market. But let's not concentrate on that because you're supposed to be expanding your horizons.

1:10:24 You're going to also all be forced to take these rigorous courses If this is how you feel, you should express yourself. Yeah, but we're going as far as we can. But I'm saying, like, what percentage identifies the hardest of hard lefts? Yeah, because if you're talking about professors and other harder sciences. So this is where all the woke shit comes from.

1:12:35 5% conservative. Compassion. for a lot of people, it means cruelty. to keep the family together. You got, they were talking about the early days of the united states and in the early days the united military look at all the trillions they spend on infrastructure look at all the trillions they give This is where I was going. They grow. grinding a little bit of gratitude it's hard. It's hard to get by.

1:16:53 when you say forgive debt or you have the taxpayer pick any of this stuff up But I think basically the solution is to just get the government out of the business of with what you were talking about before with the woke shit maybe even more maybe even more well the president's why kamala harris states her gender pronouns oh yeah yeah it's it's in compliance do you wonder

1:19:17 Yes. to the, if you're, like, out there and you're, like, okay, Black Lives Matter and, like, how against the system are you really if the entire system is supporting what you're doing? the ultimate divide and conquer and protect yourself strategy so you see how much the look Good deal. Now, are we cool with the left now? Like, that's fine. We'll hang a Black Lives

1:21:39 is like, you know, we have a problem with microaggressions and toxic masculinity. a nice little system worked out here where they're raping the country. The fucking big bank system that they have worked out right now is that the Federal Reserve prints money out of thin air, I think there's a lot of forces at work, but I think that's a big part of it.

1:23:20 a goddamn second it's just a ploy it's just a tactic and so they're kind of playing off of Get out in the streets about fucking Yemen. This isn't a leading question, era was very much the press the ideal view of the press probably closer much yeah yeah i think it's and, you know, name it. They do at least, at least if they don't do click-baity stuff, they do provocative things.

1:26:08 Trump. They're going to impact your life the most. the the reason is it's they got to trick you into clicking that thing because that's how they make And then I won't read it. But to make me subscribe every time. Those are important. Sure. I'll give you a couple bucks i'll do but make it fucking easy don't make me subscribe is is like a bigger factor than ever before you know who i trust who

1:29:10 So he's not just going to like, you know, him walking away from The Intercept was incredible. Did a great job. And there's a lot of people right now who it's kind of like well it's been proven that these people are supposed to be doing So that said, we have to recognize that this system of this experiment industrial complex and even what if all of this activity has to go on in order to have this much

1:32:15 ideas you think are the most crucial in order to maintain this society and maybe even improve it to the fact that without corruption, But if you're going to shake babies, make sure it's a bad baby. Yeah. You have to keep him from steroids and cocaine, right? You're like, oh my God. It's like, Italy doesn't want to know part of this. He had a needle and a fucking mirror.

1:34:49 events at five different states where he did close to an hour at each one. nothing's scripted which is the most amazing part about trump he literally just gets up there What do you think you're doing? Yeah. benzo do you know what that is i don't know what it's like no i mean i've heard uh joey That's right. It's quite a coincidence if it is just that.

1:37:47 a guy who's as intelligent as him and has spent so much time talking about personal responsibility I bought a 51-ounce French press. by the end of the day i was so tired and i was was like, why am I so tired? I'm like, oh, you were on speed today, stupid. I did some writing. when he first became president and he asked him number one which was the greatest thing ever was

1:40:17 sleeps a night and he said about three hours and he goes does that like mess with you and he goes But has he ever been in a spotlight like that before? Yeah, well, that will definitely pep you up. But, yeah, makes sense. is that what it's called modafinil modafinil finasteride is like uh that's advil isn't no It's weird. But I do think it makes you appear like you've increased your cognitive performance like maybe it makes you

1:43:26 Modafinil, which has been prescribed in the U.S. since 1998 to treat sleep-related conditions such as narcolepsy and sleep apnea, I don't know what that is. I believe it was developed for, I think it was developed as a performance enhancing are developed like that. number 328th most commonly prescribed wow it's really good it's almost a billion though i'm not

1:45:13 He uses that stuff. to beat the system type books because he goes i felt like people's just gonna start eating it like if they're not like running as much as somebody else they just naturally have it better some people can treat I think he's above it. I think give them out to everybody 76 yeah look at that yeah 81 for chicks the last yeah and they complain

1:47:46 we're allowed to go back to normal again. Yeah, look, I mean, I think that what's happened over the last year in America is really unprecedented. I mean, the idea that Americans have now accepted, Can I go to work? like 9-11 where, you know, like right after 9-11, you remember there was all that fear that there'd The TSA is here to stay. So my guess is that a lot of these things

1:50:06 I mean, what if the government changed the way people were allowed to eat? Because we talked about the money that's, like, all the heart disease and all the money go down this this line and and the other big one i would say is like climate change i mean if you And they all look around at each other and realize we got away with this. this joe biden ran on the idea that he's open to another round of lockdowns and i wonder if people

1:52:20 So, yeah, so in some places it is still pretty locked down, And then in some places it's kind of quasi-locked down, People have been bailing on New York City. you can't book us to move. hitting nearly 16,000. Wow. and the fear that these riots were going to get worse and worse. Go for it. station, right? Yeah. Recognizing that recent events, that, like, amid anger over her response

1:55:50 you're not gonna do anything again. incredibly destructive. And I say that as somebody who's like not a fan of policing in this country want to get a haircut was a big narrative. Also, you being able to make your own decisions. It's part of freedom of assembly. You should also allow them to go to restaurants. Please don't do it no one said it was like three months of this complete change

1:59:21 because they're protesting a cause that we agree, like we agree with the cause, therefore this is okay. and they wouldn't let her in uh they wouldn't let him in the appointment with her so she had for him to be there it's pretty, follow the science. light and how uh it shows that it dies very quickly in sunlight and he goes well that's why And like we all do that, like myself included.

2:01:50 We're both on the right team. Oh, I mean, this is going to spread COVID like crazy. risk you know that these protests were important because they they represented of how they went about it. run with the narrative that, look, this is what we want. And it's something you can't argue for. whole it doesn't matter because those are the videos that go viral i think there's probably

2:05:19 But the question might be why those ones become such big stories and the other ones don't. My point is that if you when you play up the racial like aspect of it, what you end up doing is then you so then you start having this conversation we're having. they're having with police. it is i just think that you you end up going down this road so one of the the activists in uh minneapolis said this thing and this is where like wokeism comes in to to poison this shit from my

2:07:11 This is a cop on civilian problem. He's crying and begging for his life, and the guy lit him up on the ground. so they came in geared up and revved up. She hung herself or something happened? I mean, you're not going to think when you see those videos, oh, well, there's a million why that would be a lot of people's perspective. the ones enforcing these lockdowns and they were against it. And there was a lot of like stuff

2:09:50 it's almost like that was proof like it's almost like you're working to prove the right wingers Yeah, it's a recipe for disaster. Like they're like, I just can't deal with this bullshit anymore. But I don't know that we'll ever go back to that time completely. And there was a lot more hardship in the world, period. But when you look at these old black and white photos, it's really kind of interesting.

2:12:15 Yeah, yeah, I know. These people sitting around. It looks like they're watching a baseball is it football Look at that. See that guy right there? Stop. There's so many things that are so weird about this whole response where you're like, that doesn't even make sense. He did one with, Trump did one with NBC. What was the third one? If he just did that in the first without the bad one, without the interrupty one, that was just so hard to listen to.

2:15:49 And he's also got 90 minutes, which is preposterous. Sir, your time is up. Like this model is stupid. That's important too. you're going to get a better understanding of who that person is. Now with Trump, everybody think he knew that biden would never agree to it and that's half the reason why he did it no he He might. his own oval office and say i am the real president i'm the real president this is now

2:19:42 There it is, right there. No. So is Reagan. eisenhower's alive holy shit lincoln holy shit yeah you just pull lincoln and eisenhower aside I am the maker of death or something like that. And that and it was particularly, you know, crazy coming from eisenhower who's the fucking It's like even if they're not trying to to there's kind of these natural forces of like

2:23:09 Like, it seems pretty clear that he didn't have to run that by anyone. together? Like, what is it? It's and it's, you know, I don't know. But it's also possible that and foreign sales of military hardware a major priority of his administration yeah i found two Increase the amount of money that you give to the troops, their ability to fight ISIS, the ability to make new weapons and innovate.

2:26:05 but you know like when he first came in and he was running on uh like ending all of these wars keep the machine rolling. That was just complete bullshit, Oh, yeah. It's so depressing. of existential woe? Yeah. have and how it affects other people and the more good people that you're around, the more misguided and just awful and just ruins people's lives creates black markets leads to violent crime

2:30:10 get addicted physically i don't think you could get addicted your body will reject it after a It's too easy to get some drugs and impossible to get others. Wait. There's some things that have gone away that were really popular in the past. Do you remember Just Say No? Just say no? Oh, you fixed it. We didn't know there was an option in the fuck did you just say just say no oh you

2:33:00 balls have turned your dick grand gangrene you won't let you leave the house for eight months. mass destruction they're here somewhere and you're like oh he was just lying to all of us this was complete bullshit uh what was uh the was it colin powell that said the uh the proof believed it while he was saying it behind closed doors, Like that is an option.

2:34:29 Do you think that he ever really did believe it, though? if you were leading a military invasion Like, well, 9-11 just happened. It was a blind patriotism time. of we're together well it's a really it's really interesting that you say that because you're right. We thought we were getting behind George W. Bush because we thought there was weapons you know, like nowadays looking back at George Bush,

2:37:25 still there yeah we're still there now mission accomplished yeah what's the mission well i i And he's like, this is a court of law. there with a judge you know like telling him what to do and it's just a very weird in and take out this bad guy but it's not that simple not at all not at all It's so much worse for regular people than it was under Gaddafi.

2:39:47 And he realized that they had him. Decades. I know. administration um he was ratting out terrorists giving us the fucking terrorists he turned over Ass. All the troops, and they're standing there holding up that flag. because the country's completely been destroyed since then. we've returned to normal. All right. But if normal is, you know, getting us into wars in Libya,

2:42:58 They're like, look at them now. I mean, in order to achieve that, we had to just straight up be like, yeah, we're dropping these politicians can't even figure out crime in washington dc right the idea that they're going If 60% of the people there want to kill the other 40%, that's just the way the world works i don't think we i don't think we have a right to impose our

2:45:14 Syria's worse. What are we going to do about that? This was literally his plan. It's just no one ever gets it right after you get rid of a dictator. no and i don't know that. Was he still in charge? You know what I mean? figured out the nuclear bomb and then ever since there was more than one country, the only time nukes have ever been dropped No, mutually assured destruction is real.

2:49:00 than they do with me or you. that when they dropped the bombs? In historical times, So it could happen again. now that sounds like horseshit yeah but the idea of world war ii or world war one would have sounded Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Do you ever hear the Albert Einstein quote, which I might butcher, but it was something like, your options are limited as to what you can do.

2:52:31 I just thought of that. fragile we always hear about these comets that are whizzing by and these asteroids that get really but isn't there stuff about like the water erosion on the Sphinx or something like that where they can't figure out how this lines up with the time period? erosion in the Temple of the Great Sphinx, because they know that they cut these stones out in order

2:55:37 ago, which would put it at around 10,000 BC. and it might have been multiple occasions was looking at this one area on acid once and he was like what happened here and he got this idea that there was uh not just here but in many parts of the world, there was massive impacts that probably didn't kill everybody, but probably basically shut down all progress for who knows how many hundreds, if not thousands of years.

2:57:59 Well, that's the scary thing, right? really starts falling apart they start questioning every last fiber of of what it means to be a But he would always talk about how like, We're way too extended militarily. with all the cultural stuff It really feels like that. And it's under very similar circumstances. I mean like it was okay for the people in that country i mean like it was okay

3:00:30 But you got a new rug. Does Rand Paul share most of Ron Paul's ideas? kind of like Ron Paul would say things at the Someone has to. It doesn't work. legislation did you see uh when um tucker carlson had uh governor murphy from new jersey on his show oh my God, you're saving all these lives and you're wonderful know expression is you know so he's like so so where do you get the authority to shut down a

3:04:13 It reminds me a lot of the George W. Bush mentality of like, you know, instituting torture and all these other things. they come up with something like the safety act let's keep grandma alive act they do this all the just for lynching it's like wait this is really weird dude you can't just name a bill something was the exact moment we nailed it everything went good we just did like three and a half hours how

3:06:51 It's the problem. How did you not have an Instagram? illegal his last few days in office his car's more harm than good it's over but then twitter
