Transcript

0:00 Joe Rogan Podcast, check it out! Like, we have credentials now, dude. I became aware of you because of the internet, to have you on to talk about it because they not alex though no not alex at all fucking psych I almost wish it was fake, though. you after interviewing with him for an hour he's genuine oh he genuinely cares about the direction Or crazy, one or the other.

2:21 but no we never saw anything on bahrain and And I saw some horrific videos that I found online It was just horrifying to watch. beautiful woman you just want to be like a model who's going to read the news and you're just going I think so, too. hottest chicks on the planet of course tell you what's wrong with the left. and they're continuing to feed us propaganda.

4:35 Oh, you watched that? It was insane to watch. for treating these people. They got tortured. Yeah, they got tortured. Some of them are still How much money do we send to Bahrain every year? which they are doing. long, and night. And Physicians for Human Rights, a Nobel Peace Prize winning organization, has been So far, they don't know know because they can't 100% –

7:25 also a way that they're trying to silence the opposition she's in that mindset. She doesn't really know about the politics in the region. Well, Iran. If you really wanted to stop drive from the naval base where erasing your video you don't want that disc to drop out on the floor what do you say to them when you know something's happening. where there's like a king running a whole country there's only

10:51 I don't think we can even wrap our heads around the idea of kings in this country. And we're keeping them in power. against someone like that, are you just turning a blind eye to it? is it just about controlling oil ports and pathways? I mean, Exactly. And we're being, and once again, Joe, this goes back to the American public And it really needs to stop.

14:11 us air all of these. And that was for about a week or so. It was very easy to get coverage And so these people needed to see this documentary, and it wasn't airing. his mom just died yesterday and he didn't even get to say goodbye to her And seeing as how I don't have a family and, you know, I'm not tied down to a retirement plan or I really but they're actually airing hour-long programs on CNN

16:58 Americans and whoever watches CNN to see. So they pay them for it. they don't let the viewers know that that's paid for by the government. That seems way more important than the fucking blender. horrific. And if you look at one of killed in broad daylight these tanks just shot out into a crowd of protesters and just killed them Decades. Yeah. This week we're talking

19:46 Bahrain is small. Bahrain, okay. And also, Oh, yeah. and the systematic cover-up of what's happening in Bahrain only tells you what's potentially Yeah. because that's their forward propaganda that they're going to start feeding to you. And they out it was more uh rhetoric than than physically like we want to go in and murder you all and kill It is forward, it's just like weapons of mass destruction

23:25 Yeah, it seems like this would be huge. And Lord knows what could happen from there. i'm gonna draw you a child's cartoon. That tells you what they think of the intelligence of the American public that that they think he could go up with some stupid in order to get people to be excited about going to war in Korea or in Vietnam. And perhaps the most hunted whistleblower is not Julian Assange.

26:18 and she blew the whistle I'm not trying to get her in trouble here. to come forward and and reveal that and now is in hiding in Australia and um I don't know all of the Yeah. If you go to at Amberline and scroll down somewhere down in my timeline, tweeted about a couple days ago she was a u.s senator i guess huh They don't know if these people are extremists or terrorists.

28:47 I mean, that's essentially what the military is. it defense. But it's not what we think of ourselves. We like to think of ourselves as proud people There's too many American military bases. I've covered the nuclear industry, all the wars. They can do what a king wants to do. feed him and keep the lights on and let him go crazy good luck you know that's that's america

31:54 It was really difficult to cover stories of leaks and stuff while I was at CNN. And this guy's doing it. I mean, that's the number one rule. and lock us up as well. Yeah, I did. well-known New York Times reporter had tweeted about the fact that they never aired the documentary. when you can't sleep at night because you know something is is going on

36:17 It's creepy. No, I wouldn't offend you like that. She is. One from the Doctor TV show. She seems a little annoying. It's always these wacky, romantic, it's very candid it's i mean they that's been yeah one of the suggestions it keeps coming up You need to stay out of there. You know, like a full, big, fat bodysuit. Isn't Martin Lawrence Big Mama? and a black dude

39:20 He's a guy Like Jamie Foxx in Living Color. guys that pretend to be women. Bosom Buddies. going to work though like say honey i heard you got a beautiful country up in here i just want to go shopping oh that's terrible She doesn't have a voice like the way she looks. because they know no one in St. Louis knows Spanish. They were throwing stuff around the room.

42:24 Yeah. Yeah. No, I just become an asshole. It's actually the opposite of doing it on the internet and when you go back to these guys that were originally starting off this country They had it set up. That's crazy. With camouflage. Yeah. And, you know, it was really ugly. Am I supposed to feel unpatriotic for not giving in to what's going on here? This is all part of your community, and someone

45:48 whether it's anybody that is in a position of power, country and someone who is in a position of power clearly crossed all the legal lines they clearly never has the opportunity to do this again. It can't just be, it's, we're in a weird place now. And they have, look at that. They're, they're not armed. upset. And I remember being there and we were in the middle of the road at a march. And I looked

48:47 They feel like it was influenced somehow by Disneyland when I was walking down the street, Look at all the soldiers with fucking Also to see how they were being shot with these non-lethal rounds. He was able, smart enough to be able to scale a wall. But watch, he gets fired on again. And so I kept yelling for him to see if he was okay. Because the protesters weren't shooting at me.

51:57 who was behind the police line with them, following the police, but journalism and journalists. shrieking and reacting and showing us its true self like in this these days gone by when we Now the video is going to go on YouTube and people will know forever that I did this. and they're not accurately portraying what's happening in Russia. Like, what the fuck is that?

55:19 And look at them. It doesn't... Yeah. rounds and then the red things are pepper balls. wrapped around a lead pellet and they can And they're doing it like it's nothing. They weren't even involved in a protest. But it seems like the L.A. riots was a far more violent protest. haven't. And to a couple old people and then the police show up and start firing on them.

58:53 Yeah. And they were walking with their guns and just firing on people in broad daylight. what did the protesters do that started this escalation? But at the same time... Yeah. highly educated thoughtful a great speaker young and vibrant and this sort of represented hope a the Democratic Party has been more favorable toward journalism and journalists.

1:01:58 It is a nicely dressed dictatorship. I mean, Julian Assange release some horrific facts. And that's supposed to be what journalism is about. Journalism is And it wasn't by the Washington Post. the bad elements of our government We got them now. We're completely beyond any accountability. and something that was going to make people reconsider the way they think about the military, reconsider the way they think about what it is to have your own children over there as soldiers doing these things.

1:05:16 it becomes more and more obvious Exactly, and that's what's so terrifying about NDAA. Yes, the machine needs to be going. It's power. Yeah. Someone knock on the door? I do worry. uh i know there is a feeling in the journalist community now that, You don't have the rights that you had just a year ago. Nelson Mandela was called a terrorist. How did someone become an insurgent?

1:09:08 the vernacular it's like that although i never used that word insurgent my whole life i went 39 I'm talking about the WikiLeaks issue. and whether they're willing to pay the money he threw in a line about script kiddies and people working spend the legal money than whether the story is journalistically important i think the anonymous We all know now we can't trust our government

1:11:58 of the united states i mean what what the fuck or they or they look, we're corrupt. We're just corrupt. This is how we do it. to try to crush hackers who the majority of them are actually on human rights missions and aren't even to be able to get in and talk to these individuals. For whatever. A guy like Julian Assange, So it's sort of this, it is, not completely reliable, you know?

1:14:01 shit under wraps. So because it I mean, it should have been the front page of every newspaper. It seems like that's what that guy's doing. But essentially they're saying i mean they're talking about going in they've talked about going in several times but essentially they're saying that the rules are bullshit like we've 10 there's rules but there really are no no rules you're what is it a consulate an embassy

1:15:52 don't happen again. But we're not focusing on that now because we're too busy I don't know what it was. That's not going to happen. It's bullshit. Where was it? But those leaks are vital to the survival of whatever ounce of democracy we have left in this country. not that we can't have domestic people who are truly our enemies i mean and anybody who's trying

1:18:31 that if the Congress really read everything that they sign it would be going to sign it. And that's what happened. God, it's so weird. It's just, you look towards we need to control these natural resources, conceding that it's out of control so in conceding that it's out of control they're like look we got from happening here, and this is how to stop it.

1:21:16 And the crackdown on journalism who could expose the dissent is systematic. And the fact that this stuff is not airing on all these mainstream outlets that are connected to all these corporations and governments is systematic. and the response I got after that. recite the propaganda that they've been fed. That's one that hurts. They're over there fighting for our freedom yeah or just yeah the propaganda they'll just recite the propaganda that they've been fed that's one that hurts they're over there fighting for our freedom

1:23:06 just helping the poor community of the United States, trying to figure out alternative fuel sources. superpower in the world, and that's what we are. I mean, there's never been anything like the And most people are just stuck in traffic. they said a show about some people bigfoot hunter okay i haven't watched that sasquatch we're finding bigfoot rather dude

1:25:45 And we sort of allow the people that are in the positions of power the the future and you think of what a world community community would be like You know, it's at a certain point in time, we're going to I'm from Oklahoma or the United States. England can go fuck themselves. At a certain point in time, to places we've never been they look at that to now and that is a crazy change in the way people look at the world

1:28:19 We need to be able to cut the internet. So all cops have to do... You should be suspicious why can't you take your battery out? if I had an iPhone with me decided to include that. The ability Can't shut that up. Because when I see the software that they have, you haven't been dressed or other things by corporations to hack into computers. so you know i would what was this guy what was the guy doing like what was the were they so

1:31:54 that's so crazy and scary how many people do you think that they've done that in lawsuits and stuff matter because they're going to have a file on you for your entire life of communication. So say one so we don't want to hire him for those health insurance reasons. Do you think there's a way that they can ever stop everything Yeah, we're almost getting to that point.

1:34:21 because I went through six iPhones. Yeah. That's on. Think about it. Uh, I went through six iphones yeah that's on think about it i mean that's unfortunately that's the way it's become, the reality has become for us journalists. You want to keep it on the DL? I've heard a lot of people. Montreal's cold. Yeah, I know. Vancouver doesn Vancouver. British Columbia. Montreal, Vancouver. I've heard a lot of people.

1:35:42 It's amazing. You know, because I haven't... And why did you pick Canada? But in Canada, we're regularly number one at all the podcasts. completely different vibe the way you interact with people they don't have the same expectations as amer people. They don't have the same expectations as Americans do. I think I'm going to escape to North Korea. Why aren't we in Mexico and North Korea?

1:38:02 And because we, I mean, all you have to do, this is everyone's test. you know, there is a beef they have with Israel. That being said, what he's been doing is rhetoric. It's on a hostage situation that's going on in Iran. Or do you think that's just a movie that they thought would be timely? The young people there, they're very Americanized. with this wacky Aminijad guy out there speaking for us overseas,

1:41:13 There's no gays in Iran. Right, of course. because I can't trust that we've been fed the correct story on that you can't just do that and they didn't give him his fair share so maybe he's the missiles that wipes us all out? but really it was because they wanted to catch him. being an American, that they can actually bring us more in line, bring our actions more in line

1:45:09 as the mainstream, then I don't know what direction this country's headed in. But we How long can they really stop that from happening? country is being run the corruption of lobbyists and corporations corporate I am an optimist. because otherwise NDAA wouldn't have been passed, I don't think they're making decisions on behalf of the people. But one thing's for sure is the people of the United States,

1:48:39 If decisions were being made on behalf of the people, we'd be going after the bankers that got us in this mess. poor neighborhoods and there's satisfaction to be gained And to think that all of our resources and everything that we have and everything that we project can only be profitable if we're killing people. amount. The smallest amount of people in despair that it's manageable. The smallest amount. You're

1:51:28 But we're not going to get that by supporting Bahrain. I love that guy, and he's a fucking patriot. be a nation of heroes. We should lead the world as a nation If people just rise, if people just get their fucking shit together unanimously all across I think we need mushrooms and we need them now. and it seems like there's a battle going on. this desire to fight against oppression, this desire to rise against the enemy

1:54:45 I think that's the past though. You know? It is scary. you're being lazy. You're doing it the wrong way. You're trying to just control things and you're they think that they're doing well. written down on paper that doesn't make any sense. We just lived like dominating creeps. It's the only hope for humanity. fuck down and we get out of this and we realize that you can't do all this corrupt bullshit

1:58:26 fuck up. to crush enlightenment with mode that's like saying let's bring someone into god mode that's your fuck the mba yeah i had to And Obama says he won't use it on U.S. citizens. Yeah. of different ways with sanctioned methods they're systematically gassing these people. do? Yeah, well, they can't shockingly low and the the you're gonna fight us you're gonna do what we tell you to do and they have to they they have

2:02:10 You turn that they have to do your bidding. it's, and everybody was like, fuck, our hearts go out to America. Yeah, so did i uh What do they think is going to be the, you know, the aftershock, the aftermath? I don't want to be sitting here Now, is it going to be taken with the approval of the people? He'll take that. The entire discussion was, what are we doing with these wars that we can't win?

2:05:26 It's almost like they're denying that, A, there's still a huge conflict going on in Afghanistan. Not a peep about the heroin. Have you seen that documentary, the OxyContin Express? When you watch that guy whose wife died of an overdose, Not the same guy anymore. Meanwhile, the DEA is fucking going after medical marijuana, fucking breaking down doors

2:07:59 I'm going to come out there. Alcohol. People die because they don't drink. You get so addicted to alcohol that if you go You let something that makes people happy and makes people more sensitive, makes food People are nuts. A pot cookie. I feel like someone had to be stoned when they drew that bomb. When you saw Mitt Romney the other day, Yeah, yeah. He's from Mexico.

2:11:01 They wouldn't let them do it in America, so they Romney's dad wanted to run for president, put a show on it's just so disingenuous. see them getting along with Romney. a redistribution of wealth. and and i and i the more i look at it the more i'm i'm starting to agree with people who who And that's essentially the dog just simply to ensure that there's a certain amount

2:14:04 I always ask people that because made me more aware of the consequences of my own personal actions and i think that's one of the We're so caught up in our own little culture and they go through the same job every day. You could call it being addicted to the internet, cleanly with no ego with no financial repercussions with no just you get to really see what it is

2:17:52 You'd have bad trips, too. unquestionably, have existed since the beginning of human civilization. they wrote down all these rituals in the form of parables in the form of stories and i mean it's And so they hid those things. So they thought that this was like gifts from God. they don't really understand why the human brain No, not at all. you know what, I'm not going to rape this girl anymore.

2:21:34 Anyone in prison has done mushrooms, I bet. It lasts two days when you, Brian. experiences if you what he's saying i think in saying that you think about it for two days the people in this room that have done mushrooms that have had that experience. healthy and i'm going to drink water all day and i'm going to lose this fucking weight for some That was motivation because I got out of a relationship,

2:24:15 for two days it can be for two days i've never starts you in a direction i guess i've never met Yeah, a lot of that is psychedelic experiences, man. That too. You know, different people, some people try to fight the experience and go crazy. well i totally disagree see and there's 50 of us here so it's like look everybody's different jerry garcia after he did acid a billion times at a certain point in time are you even sober

2:26:52 this huge huge sea turtle what about sharks you ever see sharks yeah i love love love seeing sharks It was me and Philippe Cousteau. Sorry. Well, he helped... and i was paying attention to not drowning because my suit had flooded and there was we're in oily and he was throwing the salami and the bologna and it's pretty fascinating to be underwater and be able to breathe and yeah uh it it's one of the

2:29:58 Yeah, it seems like if something goes bad, it goes bad fast. it's very, Someday. There's something that you said in the Alex Jones documentary, You're on the right side of history. It enabled me to do that because I I don't have that thing over my shoulder telling me Where do you see this, uh, this all going for you? Do you, do you, you know, that were in your same position, like in places like CNN and Fox News,

2:33:38 And it's easier just to go along every day and pretend nothing's happening and continue to just have that imagination movie with uh robert de niro i forget what it was but just showed the suppressive nature of killed anybody okay he didn't kill anybody and he didn't lie so what did he do what did he do But that means then I can be taken down by the NDAA.

2:35:37 Instead of doing it correctly, you've decided to take away all dissent. We have a rover there now. there some recent uh there's something where they allowed uh some sort of an No, there was... Amazing breakthrough could change medical science by eliminating the need Maybe I shouldn't say. And then the questions are like, that they attributed to this fucking shitty movie that this guy made.

2:39:41 And Iran is a part of that. They never do that. I felt like the protests were undercovered. There are people, man, these people down in Texas that are fighting the tar sands pipeline, What is this? You don't even know about it. some farms, and the And so I'm covering not only In Columbus, Ohio, it was legal to go outside topless, but it was illegal to go inside a strip club and be topless.

2:42:28 Yeah, you could just walk outside. These women are winning. Pissing people off? You think, oh, they don't mess with the mainstream media. Wow. That's it? I don't think they've messed with me because I know I would raise so much hell about it. For what? think but we're not doing anything we're just talking dude yeah but we're giving the lion has But we're not on the list because we could still fly.

2:45:45 Just so you know Go ahead Someone came to you Okay so you guys oh, here's a million dollars to have a video of me first of all, everyone's going to know that you can do that and it's going to be So why are you playing games yeah you're gonna It's stuck on my finger. that has been created by the mainstream media. you don't see a lot of discussion on these things,

2:48:31 thing. You don't see much legitimate discussion about that. And I've always found that weird. There was no show that was like, what is going on here? and eventual election, they were going to use the DEA It's terrifying. But I know if I do go in and take the time to vote for someone, I'm going to be secretly rooting for them. And that's the problem

2:51:04 journalist i encourage everybody to take mushrooms and be active What you've done is very courageous This weekend, we will be in Phoenix, Arizona at Stand Up Live. What a fucking show. brain bitch enhance n death squad dot TV is hypnotic super cat I love that fucking cat who I'm calling the new one. The hypnotic super cat. Did you just slow it down?
