0:00 The Joe Rogan Experience. My son is just so thrilled. Oh, okay. And then the whole nation just had like a meltdown, And there's also practical issues as well too. Like I have, I have chopstick legs and The whole dress code thing of wearing suits and you're more serious because you have certain And sometimes I lose just a couple steps on time. glasses it doesn't mean that they're illiterate it just means they just that's

4:07 But it seems unlikely at this point Well, I saw the record of Whitesnake, and understanding, like what is it? Because you seem to have recovered quite a bit since then. Oh, yeah, no. grim kind of a look on his face and things and They got more ways to bet, more ways to win, Gambling problem, call 1-866-531-2600 or visit connexontario.ca. but it kind of just, yeah, just.

8:50 that literally saved my life. And then I asked, really looking for like a countdown of like, well, what's the prognosis? And I really, there wasn't much there on that. Pennsylvania has 67 counties, and we carried every county, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and all across Pennsylvania. thing. How did they remove the clot? Well, it's, I mean, I had to originally, I had to go back to, I have to learn how to

12:01 walked in and they said, well here, here's what I suggest, here's what I Because I had a significant issue with Afib, and that's really what did that to your heart, you know, because I had a significant issue with AFib and that's really Not with clotting. I knew that I was in distress. of a path after that. suddenly, your mortality was kind of like put right there in front of it and through

14:59 with that kind of stuff. Like I don don't, like, what causes it? Do they know? my heart deteriorated to the point where that caused the clot and then the clot that's what a celebrity doctor who's at least a little shady. No, it necessarily was the, yeah, I think, you know, we were talking about running for Senate at all. Sure. Dr. Oz. Weird guy. Yeah and he's, he used to be, people used to thought he was like

18:39 I mean, he was really revered in that. I'm not ever gonna be mean and I'm not gonna be personal about that And we did a lot of those viral kinds of moments. rivalry. Yeah. up on TV throughout the summer and he was really put on his back and he was essentially And things were going so well. from packs from dr us dr us put in, I think, $28 million. I guess everybody wants the Iron Throne, I get it, but it's really not.

23:28 money is speech and now that turns the whole thing in an incredibly damaging right now there's been I I didn't enjoy but social media all the conservative Pete Slauson Yeah, that has got to be a terrible experience in the 40s or 50s that we've had two Democratic senators in Pennsylvania. Usually it's been problem in American politics? This ability to spend insane amounts of money?

26:46 and it's gonna be, how can I destroy and break for our society, the kinds of rules that we could build and other things if we didn't shit, put $10 million behind that, and that's in front of, you know, millions of eyeballs it's like if you have a hundred thousand dollars in cash you have to pay that in that we're willing to engage in this way. And it's the lowest, lowest denominator.

29:45 It's undeniable there too. their lives back on track in that sense. that used to be America's Silicon Valley, I want to project my kinds of experiences and my values and I started after 2016. what was going on. And it did, it resonated. And now the margins, But yeah, you multiply that by 57, 57 other counties. Well, I just think it was just different. I'm like, hey, I was running for about forgotten

35:24 But I came up a little short because I had no money because it's always going to be about less than two years. and having those conversations, but my first couple, first half of that first year, that was a little, chose to get help or I chose not to follow that path on self-harm. And so I've had active conversations with members of Congress or fathers with younger kids, and they're like,

38:05 that have been there for 25, 30 years. They're the ones that are going to be the chairman. It takes a lot of courage to come out and discuss that. But I think it's not because I think so many people suffer from it that you've lost. It's like, if I don't address this, and honest. And people, that really resonated with people. I was, I think, the first person,

41:13 And I promise people, whatever your path, whatever your path is for recovery, and I'm It's men or women or even younger kids amongst athletes and soldiers, he did a lot of research on that. lives and they were both in the media. And both, one worked you hit the water going 75 miles an hour, and it's very against chance of surviving, from depression, if anyone's been there, it's like your mind is on fire and you just want to

45:57 out and you always feel like you could have talked to them you could have curative like, oh my God, I want to live, I want to live, I want to live. the resources that I had. probably, I think, in my opinion, that's about 75% of getting back better. I'm not an expert I'm not trained that. But when people reach out to me and and you could let them know.

49:51 kinds of invective. it just was like a shot. story when after I signed myself in and that pulled my kids in through I mean, it's just, it's, it's just, oh my God. of that stuff, especially when there's something that is significant as a Senate seat. And And you know, we're now, there is no, there's no tap out. And the second you step into that kind of arena on the federal level for like a Senate

53:49 Like I'm in a 500 square foot apartment Yeah, that we all have witty kinds of dialogue on West Wing, you know, like talking like they buy a house and they move their life there. but somehow or another acquire hundreds of millions of dollars over the course of their career, How is that legal? all of us we have to have our or it's a cliche, but it's 100% though. I think most people who are objective would agree with

57:53 an athlete and if you've heard that NFL players is like, wait, would you want your son to able to post on social media People hook themselves up. It's like you self-select your cocoon. to be challenged, to challenge yourself on the ideas. And it's like, clearly, one side doesn't you. You get social credit from saying the things that these people all agree with and

1:01:16 he plugged into like kinds of an energy or, you know, like it was just like kind of looking to I never bought into some of that kind of stuff. Because if anyone that spent any time on the ground And it just came down to 75,000 voters in those three states. And that's kind of and he started saying provocative things. hey, we all want to secretly go full Bulworth, full Bulworth.

1:04:21 And whatever that is, it describes a brand that, you know, it's and you seemingly speak from the heart. You don't seem polished, which is a good thing. But it's this kind of bullshit way of communicating that's inauthentic, that even though it's that he's the guy that's talking. These are his thoughts, But in terms of the conversation, I think it's all I've got. And it's not because I don't care, it's actually I'm very committed and I really do care, but

1:08:04 vote that aren't qualified to vote and usually it's kind of local kinds of communities And what happened is that they turned out to be the Republicans, and So it's a living kinds of thing where it's continually updated and all of those prove that they're the person they say they are when they're putting in their of a thing. We really didn't have that before.

1:12:29 just happened and unfortunately once he's voted even though he was not What do you mean by everybody knows? Yeah, that was a system that mostly, and often it was red states that were using those. It was a documentary during the Bush administration, and one that they showed that the Diebold only been leveled against the Democrats using it. This is not like an accusation that only

1:15:06 the Republicans cheated or do all those kinds of things. And it's like, you know, the problem, So I think that's kind of the underlying truth about that. Like, what kind of issues are you talking about? There's been calls for allowing to come into the country in the first place He was Wyoming, and he was actually a pro-choice Republican. It's useful for one side or the other. It's useful. And he said they were never going to be.

1:18:36 the country every year? But doesn't that seem logical though? number of them to swing states and then provide them with all these services and then give And she was seven years old when she was brought here. And it seems incredibly difficult kind of logistics thing. wage? Right. America is essentially a country that was founded by immigration. I'm a

1:22:15 apply to that situation. And it's just like, you can be very pro-pro So this is the pro side of it, right? That's the best aspect of it. The Mario boat lift, you know, the whole- a citizen here or to participate in our amazing society, the demand outstrips the space. And and that's why so many people wanna come be a part of that. Yeah, it's useful.

1:26:07 person who wants to live in America and become a United States citizen, the path to citizenship It's between seven and sometimes longer years. and to American people like I'm having right now as well too like I you know I Yeah, I do. That's made it... But if I'm President Fetterman, I'm like, hey, we got to figure this out. We got to the second, the second, and that's when you talk about unlimited money, and it's like,

1:29:14 And it's just not true. And it's like I was thrilled to be here. the border? Like, how do you secure the the border but also allow a pathway for one that can pass. And if you, you know, to, you know, HR two, HR two was And they passed it because in this cycle, the Republicans have the majority in the House. Well, that's one of the more frustrating things about bills is that you can take a bill about

1:32:39 Right. But give me your utopian version of it. Like, let's assume that you could just get this Well, again, I think eventually if you are living your best lives and you're following and those kinds of things. And to me, America has to be open and a path for anyone that's playing by the rules because during the Obama administration. Even Bill Clinton talked about the importance of having

1:35:54 coming from broken countries where they've all recognized that there's not a meaningful 100%. Pete Slauson How do you provide a pathway while also securing and thousands of more agents, and whatever that it takes on that. And it's like, the and that never came into. The reason why people come here in the first place is because it's the land of opportunity, but yet we also have to keep

1:38:38 Statistically, that's a fact that out of X million people for example, you know, it's a fact that statistically that And that's kind of where we're at. strong blue kinds of... But we all want safety, right? We all want safety. We all want to minimize And I mean, they're incredibly tragic. And it's a fact. And that's actually the truth And I described that if you had 300,000 people showing up

1:41:38 and who do you think is going to do a better job to boost our economy? wave, whether it's AI or those other kinds of innovations, whether that it's green energy there's no one in there. Like we a lot of that came from Pittsburgh too and you You're welcome. people with money and food and housing because jobs are going to be non-existent in a lot and dynamic. But I'm not afraid of technology, but it's also acknowledging that there are

1:45:30 the steel mill. And then it was announced that Nippon was buying US Steel. And basically, all It's a dumb fuck you too but but you know I they never even told us that they were going to sell to replace those things. And so for me, two things are true at the same time. You know, Which seems to me kind of insane whole chips, the whole chips, you know, legislation. And it's like, we got to make our, we got

1:49:40 No, it would be horrible and it would be nice to bring things back. And it's also, you know, one of the things we've been discussing a lot is that so The Chinese have strategically just snapped up that market. I mean, we have significant oil reserves in the United States. You know, our energy has to evolve, whether that's hydrogen or nuclear. Now even nuclear,

1:51:59 that was really tense. Now they're reopening that because Microsoft is But ironically, some people pretend that you have to have a conversation. So I think that's a good thing. I think that's a great way to be. And and prevented that or instructed them very concerning to a lot of people, this idea that the government would infringe And then there's incredibly more and more kinds of platforms, just like one I'm on right

1:55:34 And just because always asking myself, misinformation as well, too. And absolutely, incitement, incitement is not free speech. You know, encouraging people for violence or those kinds of a thing. Yeah. Well, the other thing that had a significant impact was in 2020. I forget his name, but he had to investigate, you know, and they have agendas to suppress some kinds of a thing or to bring something to the front

1:57:43 here we are now, and it's still It's like, well, you know, endorsements and surrogacy doesn't really count for much. like that's Tony Stark. in some sense of convince some people that it's like, But what do you think about the idea of trying to make the government more efficient and I'm like, hey, here's where we are. And that's kind of here where we are.

2:00:49 I mean, this is, I think, a significant issue that shouldn't be a partisan issue. that we're in now, Austin has an amazing food kinds of scene. And, and again, you know, if anything, like that green, like antifreeze kind of color of a high C? French fries that you get in the UK. I think you don't need more than three ingredients. well, you know a lot of the even feeding their cows grain. Well, you know, a lot of the grass fed beef in our nation are coming from Australia.

2:03:52 you've cut it up and packaged it, it's now a product of America. So you could write that Yeah. interest in feeding people fake meat. That's what I think it is. And I think they've captured I used that at Costco. I buy the three pack of it and and and I my It's really a strange place in our nation right now and Well, hey, thank you for having me.
