0:00 is looking to go to war. They are led by people who are profiting off of the drama. We like having a few drinks. i'm just going out in the world and going holy fuck and when i say and that's why when i say They've said that if you send them in again, they're going to attack you. And I'm saying, where are all the adults, eh? But but where's the rationality where's this like two regular guys and and by the way we're just

2:45 Oh, well, it's just this, this, this, and this. The answer is more terrifying than the question, which is why aren't they fucking – why do they have nukes? We needed money. I'm Canadian, by the way. And you're sitting there going, what the fuck? I don't know. Here? What's the matter by the way. What are you talking about? I don't know. I didn't know what you were saying.

4:23 Who doesn't want you to indulge? Did you go to the Congo? It was giant. Yes, I watched that episode. They believe there's a brontosaurus in the congo hey look there's alligators yeah okay we had we need to wrap our heads around the idea He asked them, what is the name of your land? they're in the I don't understand you peninsula. Beijing. Japan is Nippon.

6:53 They're back? You got the internet. Yeah. But is it working? I love you. I want to get high and watch The Hobbit. And by the way, that's fucking admirable. That's the beautiful thing. What I would like to say to everyone who's listening to this, Joe Rogan, red man over there, Too late. people in pakistan can do shit about it and by the way youth are fucking pissed off they're upset

10:48 With a phone, I can pretty much answer almost any question I have Well, okay. And then we were doing it at Brian's place that he set up, Desquad Studios, in the Ice House. And I thought about it is first of all we were doing it at my house and then we were doing it brian's place that he set up the squad studios in the ice house and uh i thought about it i was like why am i doing

11:53 But look at what you built out of it. Like the only way to make it enticing is I have to fucking broadcast it online It's people, regular people like you and me who actually give a shit and who have actually learned stuff. that are involved in msnbc and cnn and all these people that perpetrate all this nonsense journalism. Nonsense. It either has to collapse or be absorbed by the internet.

14:10 and other people like you are doing, and willing to participate and they tweet and they Facebook and get on the socials. You're still successful. this is what's going on wherever, is because people like you are out there. I can't take any accolades for it because all it is is it's really – I feel like completely like a conduit and I feel like if I can tune into guys like you

16:42 But I'm allowed to say it's admirable. We know what the fuck is going on. there's a ripple in my force and I don't like it. I don't like that feeling and I want to resolve it possibility and options that this might not be the correct way to live life. Doesn't mean you shouldn't get a fucking Samsung Galaxy S3 and go, ooh, because all that shit is badass too.

19:52 This world woke up in motion. thing ends. When the shit hits the fan, I'm moving to Canada for fucking sure. I want shit to get better precisely because I've had such a good life. I don't want the next generation to not have that to not be able to go outside swimming a river go And the thing is what's happening especially globally, let alone in this country, but what's happening globally is that the people with the power are disenfranchised because the systems that are in place are set up as such that they can't be represented.

22:55 things we really need to figure out how to heal those motherfuckers because i think we have to Yes. And it can be conquered. done a few drugs who've done whatever who've had a real life if you have you know guys like you Romney could be saved with mushrooms. Right. There's no government regulation. that point you're like if people just actually fucking, which I do.

26:58 It's not propaganda. What are you talking about? There's guys like you. And he's fucking crazy. wait a minute. Your mind is locked in some nonsensical thinking that is based on the predatory instincts of animals that had to survive from fucking cougars and jaguars and bears and shit. But you look at you and you say, look, here's a guy, UFC guy, came up, taekwondo champion,

30:15 I learned it the hard way by going to these places. And when we start fucking, He's still alive. You'd think so. and they started the Taliban You cannot do it. Russia's not allowed, you shouldn't be playing of when yeah there's not a whole lot of chambers it's a question of when. Yeah, there's not a whole lot of chambers. They wouldn't be fighting.

33:34 It's all happening because of iPads, iPhones, Samsungs, all these things. Trying to pick up a confused dude. I don't know. Where was I? Through whiskey. Yeah, that's important. No. of alcohol, they're assholes. It's reinforced by generations. Yeah. like some sort of a painkiller. But I also think that it's, again, to go back to the people we're talking to, is it's a

38:15 Yes. to him but there's a certain like having a drink with you having a drink with him having a drink And the book is so – And he turned it into, we're going to eat some food. Millions of us. Well, just to finish with Anthony Bernay, I would say that that guy went out into the world and talked about shit that you should talk about on a channel that would never talk about that shit otherwise.

40:27 So travel channels owned by Scripps. He has a lot of fucking courage. super conservative, the fucking truth I'm going to show you he's on, but I never watched the Travel Saudi Arabia, Liberia. is like northeast alaska something like that he lives in the most remote uh part of the of the never gonna find it what do you why would you even look at vice.com why

44:18 He's content, wandering the frozen countryside, hoping to spot a caribou. You guys just piss each other's dicks. What are you guys doing? It's great for us. the internet the crazy revolutions in arab spring and all over the world and all the things you You're compelled by the natural order of the universe. new planet in case this one gets hit by an asteroid.

48:10 We don't know what's going on. Because you keep saying doom and gloom. The real problem is that we were living in some crazy movie. What are you doing with your head? Don't worry about your previous commitments. suicides who knows what the actual statistics were you know we're talking who think that the onion They set the momentum of our culture and they did not have access to the shit we have now.

51:42 that it's a cult when you know who wrote it. Sure. god and he's right up there on top of the whipped cream and you just gotta get i think you know fucked up and weird. But at some point, somebody's got to come up and say, yeah, we're irrational and we're weird, given. So that's why I keep preaching on this stuff because when I went there and I said,

54:15 That's why. The problem with that is when we went back, we realized, oh, it's fucking way worse than when he said it was the end of the world. it will go to Iran. Everybody knows what will happen when they attack Iran. and they keep fighting and they keep asking you for advice. Don't they? The idea that we need to exist in a conflict scenario is the problem.

57:07 The only conversation I've ever had with this guy was a conflict. What are you, nuts? But if you go to Mexico and you see what's happening there now, it's the rule of the thug. if you go to mexico and you see what's go to Spain and you say, Spain, you know, old country, educated country, you know, EU Riots. Greece is fucked economically. The Golden Dawn, they have –

1:00:21 is, front national, fascist. Riots in the streets, ultra-right, ultra-left, wing parties fighting each other, radical parties getting more and more power. Is this inevitable? Well, you know, the cliche is those who don't understand history are doomed to repeat it. with a purple heart. humanity and people who say let's go to fucking war let's go to war let's go you should fucking realize that before you go to war young dudes you know that we know are going to

1:03:55 Because if you take people to a war zone, first you puke, then you cry, and then you freak the fuck out. And it's very similar to people that I know that have been to jail. Right. Yeah. are you sure what the fuck there's it again? Are you done? I'm done. Are you sure? And I think that distorted perception is based on greed. Yeah. Why do we still say we're going to fuck each other up?

1:07:22 Was it Al-Qaeda? Because news is so fucked that we're going to do news on our own. Brian? Thank you very much. Joe Rogan! It's ShaneSmith30.
