Transcript

0:00 The Joe Rogan Experience. They actually listed me with my actual name in the in the list. Oh, did they really? Oh interesting It can take out the rest of the world And I mean, you mentioned, I think, Well, it's I mean video games require manual dexterity You should be required in medical school to play video games. you're reacting, and sometimes you've got like 10 milliseconds to react. And so if somebody's got

3:20 Oh, I think it would certainly would be a very good test to see if somebody can't play video games well. Well, it's so hard. way back in the day, And I got addicted, like hardcore. I was going to Fry's Hard making my own computers, I was going And does require concentration when hitting the ball, a golf nut. It's super addictive and it takes like eight hours a day

6:10 Yeah, absolutely. like if I can tell that I'm tired, you just play badly. Yeah, you're putting it under stress. and I was trying to not get COVID. all the time, like sometimes I come in here Or I'm too busy and it's just, it's not, I can tell me did I get a good night's sleep or not if I just play like will show your job to qualified candidates immediately and their matching technology works fast to

9:16 Again, that's ZipRecruiter.com slash Rogan. the new guided design system, Squarespace Blueprint. Please play responsibly. does kind of recover from bad nights sleep a little bit you know it really Is creatine naturally occurring in steak? Yeah. Yeah. Well, we're all overrun with carbohydrates that's put this thing out there that animal agriculture is the number one contributor

12:35 They can none. No, it's a zero zero zero. Is that nothing? But it's not gonna make any difference Yeah, yeah, literally won't be able to measure it Well, there's so much bullshit out there. First of all, former intelligence agents saying that this is Russian disinformation, take it effort, like what they were doing with the laptop story. We have 51 former

14:53 But I had the most number of interactions And the things he was posting like he was posting things that like he was posting good things Like it didn't make any sense. Isn't that the whole point? They listened to him and created violence in the first place? That was always the big Alex Jones type They move in the cops, they shut everything down. They had it set up where it was a no protest zone,

17:23 wasn't a financial winner it was kind of a crazy move. It's a crazy move. I mean the thing was way overpriced I've seen that hat. The advertiser boycott exactly that's total bullshit. Yeah exactly so there are these organizations And they pushed the advertisers to boycott. that they're the ones pushing the misinformation. That doesn't stop them from filing massive lawsuits and using the DOJ. I mean, like the

20:22 So like if North Korea or Iran got SpaceX rocket technology, technology at SpaceX, under US ITAR law, Either has... every year. So you're damned. sense logically like how could it even get brought to court if it's illegal they decide that you're the target They're doing all the things Like, come on, man. This is too far. Obama just said that on stage. I just said that I was like what the flying fuck. He doesn't give a fuck

24:15 Thank you. They'll take like like not even a full sense like a half a sentence from gas and then and then I'll push it on because a lot of people reached out to me, Like basically it's fucked up if people are having like fancy dinners in Washington DC And meanwhile they're saying that he should he's saying she should be shot. And if it wasn't for Twitter or X now,

26:46 No, it wasn't trending. Yeah. Yeah. Well it's like you can views. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. They would have done that everywhere and it probably would have I think even at what's going on at Facebook let me send you a link to X so you can watch his video. Because everybody gets checked. That's how it should be. it's not gonna be subtle. That is the best counter to misinformation. Yes, absolutely.

30:07 You sent me this text saying that they're trying to lock you up in jail. Yeah, it's a vein. Yeah. Tell me thing and specifically asking people to, and we wanted this to be like registered voters And they're claiming, oh, the First Amendment And the Second Amendment is there It's the website platform that's ready that we will never have a tyrannical government in the United States?

33:13 But that's the reality of the world that we live in, posts where there was no explicit link to actual violence. That is so wild. that the First Amendment is an obstacle to fighting misinformation. You don't even need community notes. People are going to die. do you think that you're smarter than everybody who reads that? they say false things all the time.

35:52 COVID it won't the virus stops with you never never no one ever it's just it was Hillary Clinton never came out and apologized for that. It's not the left anymore. It's not the left anymore. But it's very important to have personal freedom and a merit-based society. doing the will of the people. And if they're trying to suppress people's ability to communicate,

37:59 I think like a quarter of the speakers were Jewish like there was like there were people of every race color creed religion at that at that a, on the Democrat side, has done a rally at Madison Square Garden, are they Nazis too? Well what was the pushback? They suppressed the views by 50 percent of factual information. And, but all of the communication in that sort of,

40:27 It's so crazy that people thought that was okay. Like what happened? that the left-wing government's incapable of corruption because we're on the good side. The whole point of the of the First Amendment is like, do not trust the government. hey, maybe that coronavirus lab where they're doing work It's like, do you think maybe the... He was totally cock blocking the bit to the point where Jon Stewart got off his chair

43:09 Yeah, and you know, the whole Fauci thing, So the guy's a monster. that was going on in Wuhan. And so he actually did stop the so-called gain of function, this is gain of function is death maximization. Cure these things. How come you don't have a fucking cure? in like record time, operation warp speed, to watch people step in line. were able to advertise on media in the 1990s,

45:58 that are not supported by data. You know, I think we should look at these things It's sort of like asking tobacco companies about, you know, whether smoking is dangerous. They've literally lost multi-billion dollar lawsuits in this. faction that they're all just numbers people and all they give a fuck about is maximizing profits and 50 to 60 thousand people died.

48:23 and all of a sudden he was slurring his words, That's crazy. There's a lot of different therapies, Illegal. and they barely But like things that can be like I have a whole wall of alcohol. It's there for decoration But I have this aversion to things that I know are going to ruin my life. Made a lot of soldiers better, I think. Yeah, if you're doing, if you're like, if your soldiers need to march for three days in a row.

51:31 Norman Oller wrote this book. Yeah. It's so crazy. Many people. the rationalization for stopping other drugs that might ruin people's lives, but also can help a lot ruin people's lives. The rationalization for stopping other drugs what's good for you and not good for you. That's the whole reason why they have all that money. You're not saving anybody

54:02 Jesus Christ. There's a lot of people out there that are essentially on Meth. But in higher doses, man, that stuff, I've seen people turn into raging monsters I'm like I can get you low-grade meth, like the stuff the Nazis took. like, not all the same. Because they were on too much meth I mean McAfee's quite a character. Belize, right. And the reporter said, man, that's one

58:17 it's not the right bullet. And the reporter's like saying, please don't do this. That's the guy who's seen the deer hunter too many times. De Niro and Christopher Walken. He may have made some of the viruses too. like I'm generally like It's a messed up wild man playing Russian roulette. Hey, maybe you kill your fucking neighbor. Yes into your home with guns, so if you resist you're going to get shot, and then take your

1:01:27 And doing no harm and They offer him tons of money because they want him to be an assassin, to keep being They kill a cute little puppy, You're rooting for him. Yeah I mean it was that was his pet that squirrel thought of that man as his protector as his Oh fuck you don't even the thing is they don't even kill you they just cripple you chimps don't even kill people

1:04:04 What's obviously totally understandable if somebody's got? Exactly. You know? It seems to me that in a logical world, Even if they did take a squirrel away, couldn't they have released it into the woods or something? squirrels bite each other's nuts off and that okay that that seems to be a myth like gets out there in the wild world squirrels who were actually posting that they're glad

1:07:01 Well, it's a nice symbol because No one's a perfect person they don't exist this purity test like if Obama was a perfect person The funny thing is I was actually at that And then they turned it around That's what it all was. Was he pushing it hard? I'm not, this is the kind of thing where I want to just go and people watch a YouTube video and they believe it. Yeah well but on that White House correspondent,

1:10:26 And you could see Trump just getting like angrier and angrier and more and more upset. he can't do something, he's going to just keep trying. They didn't identify a felony abuse of the law is what's going on He's like, all right, come on, we're going to war. running for about 15 fucking years finally I'm gonna run yeah yeah that was Berther thing was big and most people were dismissing it as being a ridiculous conspiracy theory

1:12:50 and I think a few jokes are fine, Yeah, most of those people are on the left. There's only so far you can push If you're doing one of those things. Why would they care so much? That's so crazy. Yeah this idea of change when the Democrats have been in control for what 12 or 16 So there's only like six or seven swing states. And what we're seeing is idea. They just want to win. They just want to win.

1:16:55 by bringing in vast numbers of illegals A month ago, they passed a law making it illegal to show ID in any election in California. Why? Center shoes make What I'm saying is like, illegals in the swing states. There will be no swing states. Every election going forward This is it Has anybody tried to debate this? Flown in in airplanes. Yeah using a shipping app. Yes. Yeah, they made an app

1:20:54 Oh, you have an app. flying vast numbers of illegals who are then beholden to the Democrats. And so now as I get the rebuttal, and getting their friends and family in, which the Democrats support and the Republicans don't, And that changed the state basically, The whole thing is just, it's bizarre to watch play out because it just seems like there's,

1:23:05 the government reported these numbers incorrectly no they have not those You can see Chuck Schumer on TV at a rally this year I invite people to rebut this and show me where I am wrong. Sanders supporters, for example. That's what I was going to bring up. he was posting that he's in it for the long term, Fake president. If she's busy campaigning, she's so busy she can't do anything except Saturday Night

1:26:08 he was just a puppet. and seeing what she says in hours two and three. I mean you can just regurgitate talking points for, you know, half an hour, maybe an hour, was coming. someone with some loose lips, and then it got out. her, maybe I could coax her into doing more time. Right. This room has good vibes, actually. You know sounds rough man. Well. It's just amazing how many people in the Diddy party list that are supporting Kamala

1:29:10 Put it oh my god, they're so on fire because the left can't say anything. Well the the onion has been crippled was like an Epstein type compromise deal. Where he had, whether he was doing it himself. But clearly he was doing it for his own jollies, too. Yeah, and what what videos do do they have of these people where they're willing to defend him I mean, part of it is like you say,

1:31:46 Of all time. Evil child rapist then? Do you mean kids are missing? I mean, when you know that like sex trafficking Exactly completely changing the dynamic and then but as long as they don't come to your town Yeah, that's it. They just they can just basically send if Vivek and Trump don't exist, where the fuck are we? You have to stick to the narrative

1:34:18 Oh, for sure. Well, that's the last thing they want is someone with unlimited resources and intelligence You're environmentally conscious, I mean, it's just a great car objectively. I'm on my third one. Yeah, my third one is being built right now by unplugged performance It makes other cars feel stupid. It's different than any other vehicle. I mean, the thing is that the right right architecture environmental or not it for cars is actually electric

1:36:37 No, we're not doing it. Have you ever thought about it? But it's not something we want to do unless we have to or so. but it's so hard to get off of the So you just can't communicate between them. It wasn't working. You can't do a video call basically. You have to use WhatsApp. You have to use WhatsApp or Signal. You have to use something else that allows you to do that, or Instagram allows you to do it. There's like different ways you can make video calls outside of it, but it's inconvenient.

1:38:42 I gave it a go for like a couple of months. It really should. that make a decision, like Elon Musk, Yeah, I mean well anyway, I think this bank your phone would be a huge pain in the ass so home battery packs with Powerwall, we've got solar. can dominate a market, you know, like Apple's dominated And I think one of the big changes was when Oh and watch it on your TV

1:42:05 at the bottom of your phone app, and you just tap on that and ask Grock anything. You can Internet, books, anything that could possibly be, global thermonuclear war or mis-general and Caitlyn Jenner? Yeah. That's hilarious. Caitlyn Jenner's based. Yeah. But that is But why do they look exactly like Rachel Maddow's glasses? I'm super serious with these big ass stupid glasses look.

1:44:25 Obviously, as a comedian, I think you would agree. Let's see what happens. at some humor. no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no again and now say, no, no, you want to add to that Transgender women and swimming? So transgender chicks Okay, we need some work here. Competing Yeah, these little work. Well humor is a weird one, right? It's like I think

1:48:42 asking for is legal, it should do it. That's kind of what I was hoping would show what happened here. arguing over who gets to wear the skates okay some of it is not bad So, I mean, the thing is that if you provide like a moral get out of jail free card, here's an invulnerability card, locker room and get their kicks. that people aren't crazy all of a sudden, it's like.

1:51:29 was a transgender woman in South Africa. woman who wants to walk around the locker room with his dick out. Well, that's when I got thrown into this whole thing because there was a fighter who was a biological man But if someone beats the fuck out of someone because they're lying about being a biological male. That's crazy Totally. Let's get some more coffee, young Jamie. If it wasn't for Twitter, you know, at the early

1:54:20 I don't think we would be where we're at right now. I think it was it was speech, democracy is an illusion. So freedom of speech. Democracy is an illusion. It seems so clear that everyone should agree to that on the left or on the right one-third Republican type of thing They behave like they're all one hive mind. absurd and there's obviously a huge lie he is in fact not sharp as a tack, sharp as a tack, sharp as a tack, sharp as a tack. It was absurd.

1:57:36 When they decide that JD Vance was weird. Remember that one? There's a lot of other people that are qualified I think it was an anti-Semitic thing. given that Pennsylvania is a lynchpin state, you know, it's like the key to the election. Politician like he lies about as much as waltz does but he doesn't lie about this or something like that. that you were a head coach when you're an assistant coach

2:00:09 It's not like you forgot what you had for lunch last week. Are you saying you lied like what did I mean? This is where you need a podcast and not a debate exactly where you go, okay? but you kind of let people say that you deployed Like particularly the Biden one with a correcting Trump over and over again and then correcting Trump with Kamala Right.

2:02:00 Making a video. as far as it can go, with lawfare, with propaganda, if your entire exposure is to legacy mainstream media, for four years? Yes, like his primary concern exactly the warmongers like Liz Cheney hate him. Yeah, cuz they love war Yeah, doesn't make any sense. There's no logic to it at all. Just all of a sudden. He's the devil. Yeah, all right

2:04:47 in Hollywood. And that person says, you know, it'd be really great if you're endorsed, positive attention. So it's like you realize that, Yeah, there's no no threat is necessary Or whatever it is. Yeah, which is crazy. That's the issue. I and yet was a giant movie star. he became this focal point where all logic lot of people are waking up and realize that that have been lifelong Democrats guys

2:08:35 So we maximize people's personal freedom. And then- Yeah. So, you know, and and you we you're not a real country unless you have secure borders. You're just a fake country And then also, if you're a police officer and you're arresting someone who's violent, Then why should a police officer put their life at risk This is why I keep coming back to this,

2:11:35 they have. You have the resources and the government resources to go kill someone's I mean, I think the funniest name is DOGE, the DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency. So it's like it's not like, like basically we're on a path to bankruptcy, America's agencies there are. So this is insane. Obviously the president has a lot of power, but how much power?

2:14:26 That's happened with pretty much every agency. It's like a tumor. the amount of paperwork is gonna go roughly Everything just, you get just hardening of the arteries. We do. has served as a cleansing function for rules and regulations is war. Because It's not like any one string is the problem, but you got a million of them. fast because there were too many regulators in the way because the football field is full

2:18:30 Businesses are generally private businesses or a company because they kind of have to be in order to stay profitable And you were also floating around the idea there are more productive things they can do in the economy and it'd be better if they did these other more productive things and we didn't have this vast federal bureaucracy. So, so like, so I

2:20:28 You've sort of programmed your life and your career Yeah, I mean, let's look at like, you know, wherever the government pension and stuff. They're not gonna be you know I'll probably need to beef up security. And it was really inefficient. things to more productive things. No, it's not good. is just going to pay interest right now. That's what bankruptcy means.

2:23:56 you think? I think you need to be careful with tariffs. Like the, I mean I deal a lot to increase manufacturing in America. Bad things happen. I'm a big manufacturing guy. To make things and that you know for a lot of people I think just ketchup comes from the store I mean, America is still the second biggest manufacturer in the world. like there's a bunch of different things

2:27:37 what that means is that you make all the stuff yourself, So you don't actually wanna make everything yourself. You have to farm. It's like, but it's still, 10 people's not enough. You do want countries to be really good at a particular thing and make that thing. When there was like a an old joke from the that that is kind of telling Yeah. Yeah. One thing that a lot of people are concerned about is the

2:31:18 Another big part of the problem is people losing a sense of purpose. Longer-term issues which are like maybe 20 years. And I think at some point, wouldn't you wanna have Like if you walked down the street of New York City, City flanked by two giant Tesla robots, jack Tesla robots that were there to protect you. Restaurants probably have no robot rules. You can't bring a robot

2:33:52 I think there's gonna be more more humanoid robots than there are humans I mean, this is a big deal, but you go from like 1900 1920 not that big of a deal 1920 1940 And you just get adapted to the changes. They get mad if it doesn't work. Phone calls, it was nuts. So this is like a very small version. How much how much smaller can it scale down from that?

2:36:52 So, but we have a direct to cell capability as well Yeah, I But Stephen Hawking, he would say that there's at least a 1% chance of total annihilation So I think a bigger question is like, Because it's like there's so many things we've got here now because it's pretty extraordinary. This is what we're hoping for with this election. Yeah, I think freedom is fundamentally at stake in the election tomorrow and we'll know. I think we'll know by the end of day tomorrow.

2:40:55 Vote like your life depends on it because I think it does vote vote tomorrow like your life depends on it. Nothing is more important. I
