Joe Rogan Experience #1639 — Dave Smith Transcript

Transcript

0:00 The Joe Rogan Experience. Thanks for making the trip, man. Yeah, yeah, you can kind of tweet And I had to go set up the whole app and everything. It was pretty funny trying to check Probably you can't run a business where you just Yes. That whole thing about humans being parasites. building a case against humans, Yeah, it's a mess in my head. This is so crazy.

3:42 50 to 100% larger. She's an environmental endocrinologist. Have you met Lex? He works in AI and he has a different view of it. That guy's super smart. planes and and and troops to the border it's like that's real that's real shit and putin was on Let's just slow down. That was, look, Donald Trump, feel however you feel about him. To Bill O'Reilly's face,

7:36 So in Iraq, it's got to be well over a million because that million number was from a while ago. You've seen the YouTube, the slave auctions on YouTube, which is, wow, which is heavy. there was actually an investigation I mean, so all in all, there's, I mean, it's millions. Which is so crazy. Woodrow Wilson said he was gonna make the world safe for democracy

10:32 You need a full length plan. It was one of the most beautiful moments in modern American history. Those guys who go like, That's the story that they want to tell you, right? I do, too. going to arm all of the anti-Assad rebels, largely consisting of Al-Qaeda and ISIS, in But the story's not as simple as, like, I think, was he one of the Democratic candidates in 2000, I believe?

13:57 It's like, well, why then have there been these five subsequent countries that we also have to by those rebels where they stick a knife up his ass. they're losing their grip on power and becoming more and more insane about it well they've lost how they basically would accentuate anything that was wrong with Trump. if a hot chick takes you out to a bar and starts asking you to tell her

16:52 Like, imagine if someone heard you say this. out of there yeah it's pretty much all us like but just bragging about it it reminds me of the He was in a helicopter. performing there and he was like we weren't under fire I might be wrong because it was like, you know, like with with the wars, crap out of them for like decades. And here's why. And then Giuliani was like,

19:35 This is what they meant by blowback. Most knowledgeable in this shit so much so that if I didn't know you're a comic I was just at the level where I could be broke And I found all these different thinkers, Murray Rothbard, Ron Paul, Tom Woods, Scott Horton, like all these really, really smart guys who were breaking all this shit down. some like elaborate andy kaufman-esque like mission in his mind he's free yeah he's one of

22:34 Out of all the people that I know. and I go, and the world ends. Did they punch you in the face while you were under? I'm like, none of... This is what happens He's healthy. and he take like these a lot of masks that people wear particularly like bandanas he's like fucking Where people are flipping out about Tom Brady at the Super Bowl when he got out of his limo and walked outside without a mask.

25:41 It has to do with people saying, always one person in there who's just like, oh, like trying to enforce the rules on everybody It's like you're an asshole. Do you remember the, I think you shared this video recently, but it was an old Noam Chomsky like i'm not a racist i have black friends and i have this and you're like you already sound like Cause you're just not, you're just like, no, I, no one else is like saying this, but I'm just

28:40 and those people got kicked out of the event. It's incredible what they did. and there's like a bar in the hotel lobby and there's people at the bar sitting down We're in our protected bubble. and no one has a mask on while we're sitting down. passover and this guy was freaking out because they were telling him you can't have a service First of all, they do not have a First Amendment.

31:57 perspective of being Canadian. It's like, this stuff goes badly. I don't know if you saw this. It was last April or May. And very few people were doing that. So he just told you straight up that like, well, we repealed the Bill of Rights, can have a funeral for my father or my governor said we can go to work or we can go to church or with all the horrible examples in history of people being compelled to follow an ideology.

35:29 this president is kind of wacky. We're going to pull some of these acts back. We're going to rescind the Patriot Act, the Patriot Act 2, because we don't trust this new president. So maybe we should make the presidency not so powerful. But for me, I go, oh, this is not ideal. But that's the point, right? because that's what drives these people. And it's, you know, that's like the thing that's really,

37:59 Like, you know what I mean? It's like, so it's the same thing. Yep. They were talking about people who own banks. 99%. They did a very good job of tearing that whole movement apart, tearing that whole for the government that is essentially peaceful, so there's no real way that they can break Yeah, yeah. You know, it's like, it's so funny, like, when they expect the people who will just slaughter hundreds of thousands in third world countries to then run, like, our welfare programs here.

41:51 well, the weird thing about all this shit, the average person actually has to pay attention to the way the world works, and how much time they have to dedicate to making things better. And so then it becomes this weird tribal divide, which is a constant state in this country Things are spinning out of control. the radicals. And then there was nothing to glue the radicals back together. They lost any leg to

44:38 and we definitely don't want to go crazy nationalist right wing. good education. Like it's a reasonably what Joe Rogan wants society. And so now you're the And the right-wingers like, we should be nationalist and we should build a wall and whatever it is. well, that's really crazy, or a radical right-winger, where Joe Biden could go, eh, isn't normal a little bit better than this? Let's

47:34 Like what is happening with the country? literally almost killing representatives. First of all, how the fuck did we get there? Well, it's because we're so like zoomed in. huge corporations, the big banks. And so, of course, the Wall Street speculators make crazy profits. And then if they fail, Like, how do we stop something like the Capitol Hill riot from ever happening again?

51:24 How do you do that at this stage of the game? And if we just followed them, we'd be in a much better place. What's the immunity one? I think it passed. of the federal government. The reason why people are so worked up about every presidential election But I would say that the big issues, and this is why I'm real all in on the Libertarian Party. President Joe Biden says they'll be available for everyone.

55:54 with America. We're bankrupt. We can't afford it. And none of these countries are a legitimate They don't need it. And like $130 billion of it is checks to people. the banks that the federal reserve you know easy money that they give to the Like we're just not putting people in jail I think you're making some really good points There's a business involved.

58:41 anybody. We got some whiskey right here. It's silly to put these laws in the hands of people where they can decide to lock you in a cage It's not, like, to me it's just as simple as are we slaves or are we free men? For the crime of putting Just be like, there's no more money to be made here for you guys. we propped up the cartels. And it's a really dangerous scenario because it's like, oh,

1:02:23 They can drive here from Mexico. Trump's been defeated. Now they're more including of immigrants. What did you just incentivize? of the war on drugs, right? They get to this, right? He's a guy with dreads, right? illegal because the fact that it's got a stigma attached to it or because people shoot it up and mates and all these toys and lots of food and then put the two water bottles together and he just had

1:06:00 because I think that's exactly what's going on with most people drugs may be the only thing that makes them feel good they get for the weekend Checks his pocket. His life is all messed up. I hear people saying the other day, That that's what happened is that he ate his stash when the cops were coming. You're I don't know if that's actually factually true or not, but a lot of people were saying that, that that's what happened, is that he ate

1:07:37 Yep. It's so fucked in. I have heard him talk about it. But it's like Ron Paul, conservative Christian country doctor. But you're like, but really they were just applauding for freedom. He's also a little too nice, to be frank. You ruin the whole thing. Yeah, I don't know. I think that was part of it. I think that Ron Paul was like a happy warrior abnormal and it just it just the country needed ron paul but we got donald trump well he had so

1:11:57 You don't think they're going to just fill him up with amphetamines and steroids and If the president and the vice president both get assassinated, she becomes the president. make it so let's let's imagine he does and we get to 2024 or you know 2023 running into 2024 like it. Really? There are a lot of people who want me to run and I just want somebody who will just

1:14:03 He makes a lot of sense. He makes a lot of sense. Is he? them now which um i think there's some nutty statistic about the the amount of taxes in new but it's also one of the craziest divisions of wealth and then what are you gonna do well how do you not look at i mean just like the people voting It's unbelievable. How do we do that? They do have to go outside to work.

1:17:59 You're going to get sicker. like the way we decide to govern our states is different. Right. And you would think, if we were being reasonable, if you were advocating for lockdowns, Like this is a pretty big ask, really a demand. And then by the time the summer hit, there were like 6,000 COVID deaths. Which one? They're behaving better. didn't wear your masks you ate the cheesecake you're gonna get fat remember that he was using

1:22:03 And I share your deep concern about this idea but according to governors out of their own words, they suspended the Bill of Rights. And we've been in a year living under that. Like, how long do you think we can go in living in a totalitarian society before that's just what our society is? And there's not really a memory of the old normal, or at least that seems like the old times. That's not who we are anymore. We're already dangerously close to that position. And now we have this opportunity where it's like, hey, Joe Biden says

1:23:33 And at the same time, there's one group of people who have basic freedoms and rights and one group of people who do not. It's not really good enough to do a local level or a state level thing. This is what China does. and you're not being a good citizen because you have been vaccinated. you know level more of control but i think the biden administration has rejected this so far

1:26:54 Like, I think oftentimes they put out these feelers to kind of see what the people are willing to take. other arguments, you know, like just the practicality of it. I mean, like, look, if you If they could. known as ICOP. Hilarious. A memo obtained by Yahoo includes identifying details and screenshots of users' parlor accounts. that we would literally it would be a verb he went postal yeah right yeah that's right because

1:29:37 This was the answer? Huh. Did they? right? like if you have like a job to do, But if it's mail, Like imagine if you have a project, You know, you did something. You just never get any credit. riot thing or something like that but this stuff is pretty creepy man and it was if if it was so Like that's still a problem even if we needed to do it. a friend of mine a video the other day on twitter through a direct message and it was blocked really

1:33:31 So I go, hey, tell me about this. Well, I know that they did that with that Hunter Biden laptop story from the New York Post. Yes. Off of there. Yeah. all of a sudden this year, I, cause I was the moderator of the group. I start getting messages You can't get this from touching your groceries. are killing people. you take down all these videos but you know like five of those were right yeah not all of them were

1:36:28 But I had talked to all these nutritionists and endocrinologists and all these scientists but getting it outside from sunlight is better. People got very weirdly attached to the disaster narrative yes I'm sure you do too, have really, you know, if they lived in new york city and they did multiple sets multiple happy moments in the day then I wound up moving to Texas. We move out here and I wasn't doing any stand up. I was just going

1:39:22 He grabbed me by both shoulders. Like you're like, oh, yes, everyone's letting their like pent-up rage out together kind of yeah if you were trying to like as a country fuck over people's mental health as much as you could Don't be around other people and stay inside. country just imagine i mean it's we kind of know but if you could see it if you could see it like

1:42:05 and we'll never be able to completely trace and Afghanistan was another trillion dollars. And then there's like, okay, that's a real tangible cost. But then you're Bush administration? It's like, well, it's Trump. It's Antifa. It's like everything. All of this Well, you may not know until their kids grow up. Where can I work as a chef if I can't work?

1:44:19 but they're not. These states that are more interested in giving people freedom to make And he goes, but when it comes to business, he goes, you have to let people work. you were going to be they were going to be against that and then the whole right half is like reacting He's being draconian. with my friends. I'll take a little bit of risk. I'm comfortable with that. The more kind of

1:46:54 Well, yeah, there are. It's your identity. Like this is what you invest the time of your life into. It's like this whole thing is ridiculous. people that are scared of things. And you're like, well, no, but I'm just being an adult with some nuance. I know Ben Shapiro said this, and I think he got in trouble for it. I mean, can you just imagine like what a stroke of luck that is?

1:49:56 And we've never taken any precautions to shield kids from the flu. But there are all types of risks that go on with life that we accept. because of the flu of how it, you know, can kill babies and stuff like that. What happened to the flu? What is it? Let's guess. How's that possible? There's some people who have speculated that they're counting flu deaths as COVID deaths.

1:52:11 What is this? have been distributed. What does that mean? 2020. In 2020? Huh. There you go. I tell this to people, and it sounds like I'm bragging because I am. I'm not doing what a normal person does. I'm nervous for other people. Yeah. And it's, you know, people have, like we were saying before, people have developed an emotional stock in this worldview now.

1:55:55 and I said, okay, save one for me. And that was a Johnson & Johnson vaccine. And this is just like how the government ends up working. And if it did get pulled, I would be sitting here going. Am I okay? i'm just thinking like what would i be feeling right now if i had taken that shot and i'm here And they were talking about this, the narrative about the vaccines,

1:58:52 dangerous ever about not just a vaccine, but any kind of a drug that you get injected in your body. They're not taking pictures on air of them. There is huge money that's being made here by these big pharmaceutical companies. You're putting social pressure on people. I think you should get vaccinated if you're vulnerable. But there's a lot of jobs that will tell you you need to have this.

2:01:37 If someone's children died from this, I'm very sorry that that happened. my daughter's a lot younger than your kids but i'm like yeah i'm not injecting my daughter with It's crazy. Oh, really? That's got to just feel really awful. Schadenfreude. Everyone felt that when Trump got it. Turns out that's not quite enough. Meanwhile, that fat fuck four days later was fine.

2:04:27 I mean, love him or hate him, created the division and rather Let's end the endless wars. Yeah. Didn't Biden say that he's going to pull everybody out of Afghanistan by June or something like that? But we've had all of these dates where, you know, Joe Biden, when he was vice president, I think he promised we'd be out in 2014. gets spent maintaining this empire. And yeah, there's people making all types of money off of

2:07:53 And he had a message. I mean, you know, there was always like a military issue, I think all he did was he agitated the far left, made them crazier than they've ever no question i i don't see how he but if it wasn't for covid and the voting overhaul um and i'm not He's different in that. But then there's this one guy Yeah. like prepping them all it's not like he's

2:10:59 like don't like So here they are training in the morning. If you looked at him, you're like, oh, this is the guy that just started training. He doesn't have to be in shape. They're not on the same level as him. Like, oh, those guys are like, they went on to be good fighters. I really am. I'm worried about how we pull ourselves back to some sort some sort of a civil war. And when, you know, that sounds like completely hyperbolic, right?

2:14:41 and these were like advanced industrial countries that had people made out We're flirting with absolute disaster. You'd be like, that's insane. And Thomas Paine just wrote pamphlets. you denounce people. I hate that. I hate that the idea that you have to denounce someone if they have bad views or even if they have you like why can't I just tell you

2:17:28 at least on paper, and just say it. People like that love wokeism because it's a real excuse where you don't have to know anything. I mean, to be outraged at a president for like a war or a policy or something, you might have to crack a book. But that's, so we got to find a way one way or the other to break that. Yeah, saw it. about that aspect of it i just think like this is here with us now and this is the technology and it's going to be very it's probably going to be impossible

2:20:24 Didn't care for the acting. I thought it was good. Didn't care for the acting. the fake news narrative, a there's a thing i'm gonna put i'll send this to you jamie there's a meme of all the shit that Mothers of soldiers who have committed suicide still crying themselves to sleep at night. That it's literally making frogs. I don't know about that. Now, you are here.

2:22:43 That's a human monkey embryo that scientists have admitted. Yeah, those are real. And that he had been told about these things by high-level people more than a decade ago. My first question is why? I want to hear this. With a bioethicist? Yeahethicists, defended the experiment. Wait, a bioethicist? Why are the people that have such amazing names, the people that are these scientists,

2:25:01 You know, like this is the beginning. we were just trying to help. I know they took this woman's skin media and we're talking about this weird place where we're at now where people are you know just But yeah, but if we're and let's be like completely fair to him because it's so easy to just react against that because it's so disgusting and despicable and just you're watching what you know, like a tantrum that a 20 year old is having in a way.

2:26:53 like look man these are kids who came up in a culture where um there was not a strong culture you know, And they're fucking pissed and dumb and just not, this this guy gets convicted of all charges that these people have because there's this strange moment And she's aiming it at her, like, head and neck area. races of cops around this Derek Chauvin guy is a white guy. He's got a black guy on the ground,

2:29:56 Anybody that doesn't think that that is hard, let me do that to you. Yeah, and people are screaming at the guy. actually change that will make less of these happen? But if you really wanted to fuck over the movement for police accountability, and all that stuff. not worried about, but what I'm thinking about is going to happen because communication through Twitter

2:31:48 It's hard to get context and to understand what a person is really thinking and feeling. like text being written out in a way where you can interpret it any way you want. I saw this one. But you just saw this thing where he goes, you could see people getting excited Yeah, I got one. So I think that it could go in a really bad way that's bad for humanity or it could go in a really beautiful way that's better than anything we could imagine.

2:34:47 I really don't. We're going to be symbiotic. And then computers started winning at Go. And one of the ways they did it is by going through literally thousands and thousands I don't remember, but we got an update on it. I think it was Weinstein. So they might have... of his voice to make a computer-generated song. I know, so that's just one of's dad I know that's just one of the

2:37:57 Yes, exactly. Go back to the Rolling Stones catalog. Can it actually be involved in the kind of creativity my voice and they, they show that they can have, they can have me say anything, Amazingly impressive. and we're gonna have it on video you know what i thought that about pure speculator is pure But my thought was, what I was saying was like, if they can do that with just the hours

2:41:05 through terabytes and terabytes of data they can put together an idea of what it means to be an So it wasn't like a Freudian slip type thing. there's a video of Clarence Thomas talking about Joe Biden back when Clarence Thomas was being interviewed when he was getting on the Supreme Court. It's so crazy. Yes. So that's just unity and nice and moderate and back to the status quo and all of the adults in the room.

2:44:24 Like that was like a line like that or something he said. know you're allowing another 9-11 to happen because Saddam is weapons of mass The guy who was the guy who was rallying up a whole bunch of people, Well, he was focusing, look, like I was saying before, all that stuff where JPMorgan Chase And so it was like, who's left? Then Tulsi just destroyed her on stage and it was like over.

2:46:57 I mean, look, there were mistakes made, I think, in the campaign. for the party You know? Iraq. So you vote for a war. You send some, you know, brave young woman over there to watch her No, Tulsi Gabbard is the real deal. Like I said, the military industrial complex is a big honeypot. It never gets exposed. Well, particularly this time around. And even down to the intercept.

2:50:50 He's the best. Matt Taibbi is amazing. But look, there's the other thing that's interesting about all the woke stuff. Right. Is decide what stories are ramped up and what aren't. Is there any evidence of this? Well, people say things on Twitter. you know, gritty leftist who's out there fighting the good fight. And they're like, yeah, okay, the CIA is making this claim with absolutely no evidence to back it up.

2:53:48 And some people still believe that COVID has like a 50% death rate. Absolutely. He was set up by the CIA, the NSA, and the FBI. Yeah. You know, I think that I voted Libertarian last election. where they're stacked on top of each other? You've seen that. You've seen it, right? Not cages, And we need a change. and George H.W. Bush didn't win a second term. It's because Ross Perot resonated with people.

2:57:06 Get one of them crazy tech guys. I think, to me, but I think what the Libertarian Party even if they're talking about it, once they get into office, like you're seeing with Biden, things don't change. We're not putting people in jail for nonviolent crimes, period. to be like more of a bottom up kind of movement. movement well it's certainly an exciting time oh yeah like more exciting like

2:59:56 Really? Sexual happy ending. Yeah, yeah. Very, very weird. No, but some of them are great. Some of them used to be really great and now they're terrible yeah some of them I mean, if this happened to you five, six years into comedy, that is really tough. Like if you quit your day job and comedy was your full identity, but you needed to work and you got to figure out how to solve those. And when you look at your life, if there's,

3:02:32 But there's also like, you know, there's different points where you're more vulnerable than other points. You also have a podcast. You have other sources of income. It's a tough one. like adversity. There is truth to both of them. Like there are people who are really victims you're going to get past this I remember I had a real problem with that for a while when I was younger in comedy.

3:05:16 got a big thing. And I'm going to put all of that energy into trying to get what I want out of this career. It's such an important thing to talk about because every single comic but I remember wanting people who went on before me to bomb So I wanted someone to do badly so I could come in and look like I was good. and like that fucking disappointment in yourself

3:07:31 It's why losing things in life is really important for you. some guys started getting TV shows and things, and you could see the anger and the jealousy of the other people. of them that actually wound up being professionals it's really small it's small but i will say it he's just this guy's a force of nature like there's just no and so it's it's weird in hindsight

3:09:46 But that's the next thing that people like that are going to have to deal with. I think it's important for clarity. Yeah. and like I've told you this before off podcast but you're like not just your whole podcast but And they were still hilarious the whole way through. kind of be like an mma commentator stand-up comedian who does a tv show but i'm the network
