Rogan podcast by night! All day!

0:10

Joe! Oh, he's a pleasure! Great

0:12

to see you guys always!

0:14

What the fuck's happening? Welcome

0:16

to America! We love being

0:19

here so much, Joe! Your

0:21

country just keeps getting weirder

0:23

every time you visit. Every

0:25

time you visit I want

0:27

to ask you about some

0:29

new videos brother. Let's be

0:31

honest. Guilty is charged. I

0:33

think we're really close to

0:35

like proof that the simulation

0:37

is real. This is why

0:39

things are so preposterous. Do you

0:41

know I try and argue against

0:43

that and then I see what's

0:46

happening in all our countries and

0:48

I'm like you know what, fine.

0:50

Probably you've got a point now.

0:52

Yeah, you know when I really

0:54

started, we were actually talking about

0:56

this yesterday, I really started to

0:58

genuinely consider it, like, like one of

1:00

those where it like snuck in through

1:03

my defenses, my logical defenses, when this

1:05

girl, Heather McDonald, blacked out on stage

1:07

while she was making jokes about being

1:09

vaccinated, and then she blacks out and

1:11

cracks her skull. Have you seen that?

1:14

Yes. Legitimate. There was the first time

1:16

in my life. I was like, there's

1:18

no way. I was like they're fucking

1:20

with us. Yeah, they're just fucking with

1:22

something's that can't be so dead on

1:24

like this is like God is a

1:26

script writer Like how is that a real

1:28

thing that that's a video where

1:30

someone it's she didn't do it

1:32

when she was making fun of

1:35

her boyfriend? She didn't do it.

1:37

She's talking about idiots in traffic. It

1:39

was when she was talking about

1:41

the vaccine And how,

1:43

you know, I, even still got

1:45

my period. So Jesus loves me

1:48

more than, boom. Like, there's no

1:50

way. It's too good. The timing

1:52

was exquisite. You couldn't

1:55

have, if you had a movie where

1:57

that was a scene, you couldn't.

2:00

have scripted or timed it any

2:02

better? Well you would tell her

2:04

and drop. There's no way! I

2:06

started legitimately wondering then and I

2:09

know that's a stupid example I'm

2:11

very aware of you like you

2:13

fucking more wrong all the things

2:15

in the world there's plenty of

2:18

examples. Jesus loves me the most.

2:20

Look at this. And the audience

2:22

is laughing, probably the best life

2:25

she got all night, right? Because

2:27

it's a big move. It's a

2:29

big move. You know, if you're

2:31

a prat fall person, no one

2:34

expects it, like, oh, that's hilarious.

2:36

If it goes with the bit,

2:38

you know. And it's timed perfectly,

2:41

absolutely. What's that quote? God is

2:43

a comedian playing to an audience

2:45

too afraid to laugh. What a

2:47

great who said that it was

2:50

either I've said it and it's

2:52

either Voltaire or Camu I can't

2:54

remember which one you'll find out

2:57

Yeah, but yeah, but that's a

2:59

quote God is a comedian playing

3:01

to an audience too afraid to

3:03

laugh If that happened to me

3:06

there you go if that happened

3:08

to me my Russian grandmother we

3:10

were just like God is punishing

3:13

you Yeah, and that's why Russians

3:15

are scary to fight listen yeah

3:17

we have business to discuss yeah

3:19

yeah it just seems fake there's

3:22

so much seems fake you know

3:24

it's like all the the news

3:26

just the people that are politicians

3:29

that everyone feels like they're like

3:31

who's the Federman character this guy

3:33

is wearing a hoodie and shorts

3:35

that's his that's the wacky neighbor

3:38

you know and then Jasmine Crockett

3:40

she's that loud-mouthed lady from down

3:42

the street and the like oh

3:45

here comes Jasmine she's gonna get

3:47

crazy you know and Maxie Waters

3:49

like she's all over it's like

3:51

these are fake people Nancy Pelosi

3:54

this giant tiddied lady who wants

3:56

all the money We've been in

3:58

politics for 150 years. There's pictures

4:01

of her. Kennedy. I didn't realize

4:03

Nancy Pelosi was well endowed.

4:05

Oh boy. Oh boy. Really?

4:07

Yeah. You've done the research.

4:10

Well there's all these photos

4:12

where people are calling her.

4:14

What's a gilf? A grandma

4:17

you'd like to? Yeah. You

4:19

never seen her boobs? No

4:22

disrespect Mrs. Pelosi. I admire

4:24

her first stock choices.

4:26

But fantastic. Those are, those are

4:28

legit. You know, I gotta say

4:30

this is a great start to

4:32

the podcast and we aren't even

4:34

stones. How did you not know?

4:36

You're a grown man. Look at

4:38

the size of those fucking sweater

4:41

hammers. That is incredible. That has

4:43

made me a lot more in

4:45

favor of Congress right there. Hold

4:47

that, go to that last picture.

4:49

This one might not have been,

4:51

but it seems fake, but it

4:53

might be like from the Clinton

4:55

administration. These deep state vampires as

4:57

hot as Nancy Pelosi used

4:59

to be. Deep state vampire,

5:01

no disrespect Miss Pelosi. They've

5:03

been around in the system

5:05

forever. Like the relationships that

5:08

those people make and the control that

5:10

they establish and the roll of

5:12

decks and I got shit on

5:14

Lindsay and Lindsay's got shit on

5:16

this guy and it's like Jesus.

5:18

It's a fucking dirty business man.

5:20

Oh, it's crazy. It's the dirtiest.

5:22

It's the dirtiest business. It's the

5:24

dirtiest business in the world. You

5:26

know what I think now that when

5:28

I look at politics, and you look

5:31

at wrestling, and I remember criticizing like

5:33

people who watch soap operas, I remember

5:35

in just going, oh they're so dumb,

5:37

and I remember my ex-going to me, she

5:40

went, Francis, you like soccer, that's

5:42

just soap opera, but for men. And

5:44

when you think about it, it kind

5:46

of is. We just buy into a

5:49

different soap operas. Except soccer is happening

5:51

for real. And the soap opera is

5:53

just a dumb pretend of a goofy

5:55

life that's not real. Yeah, but politics

5:58

is kind of soap opera. We're like

6:00

adults. Yeah sure. I think it's teams

6:02

for adults for sure. For people that

6:04

don't like sports, it becomes like a

6:07

giant part of their, it's like a

6:09

guy with a Cubs hat. You know,

6:11

I'm fucking Chicago Cubs, the lie, die.

6:13

Don't like die, bro. Chicago Cubs, one

6:15

day we're gonna pull it up. Like

6:17

people in Chicago, they fucking the liver,

6:20

you'll fight you, if you don't like

6:22

the Eagles, they will fight you. Like

6:24

if you go to a Philadelphia Eagles

6:26

game. And that's crazy, you're both Americans,

6:28

like this is the dumbest thing of

6:31

all time, like ones from a different

6:33

city, so they're your enemy, because they

6:35

support a different football team. We do

6:37

it with everything. I know you find

6:39

that shocking job in England, in Britain,

6:41

that is like run of the mill.

6:44

So in the 70s and 80s, each

6:46

football team, and to some extent now,

6:48

they had their own words called a

6:50

firm. which are these hooligans whose only

6:52

thing, they didn't really give a share

6:55

about the football, the soccer, they would

6:57

get together with the supporters of the

6:59

firms of other teams to have fights

7:01

in the car park outside the stadium.

7:03

And they will travel all around the

7:05

country doing that. So it's actually the,

7:08

this one thing I love about American

7:10

sports, like you can go to the

7:12

game with your kids and not worry

7:14

about the stuff that people are gonna

7:16

be screaming and shouting, all that violence.

7:18

You are a lot more chilled out

7:21

than we are in Europe about that

7:23

stuff, believe it or not. Oh, I

7:25

do believe it. I do believe it.

7:27

But any like group like that, like

7:29

soccer, traveling group, you're gonna attract some

7:32

fucking psychos that hop along. It's like

7:34

when the grateful dead go on tour.

7:36

cult members to recruit with acid in

7:38

the parking lot. For sure, it's going

7:40

to happen. Yes. For sure. If you're

7:42

like a psycho cult leader and you

7:45

want to pick up some people, you're

7:47

going to go to a place where

7:49

everyone's on acid. You're going to go

7:51

to a fish concert and explain to

7:53

them, you know, you guys, I know

7:56

you're in between apartments right now, we

7:58

have an amazing community and everyone's accepted.

8:00

And next thing you know you're in.

8:02

an acid with this fucking weirdo and

8:04

you know he's in the low disposition

8:06

and you're all pretending that this is

8:09

normal. But you know what's really interesting

8:11

about soccer is that that hooligan element?

8:13

That's not just in the UK. That's

8:15

right the way through Europe and in

8:17

South America. It's New Zealand too, right?

8:20

Don't they duke it out in New

8:22

Zealand? No, no, it's not New Zealand.

8:24

Yeah, rugby is kind of different because

8:26

football with the hooligan element. So in

8:28

Italian soccer, for example, they have what

8:30

the hooligans are called, the Ultras. And

8:33

they're so powerful that if the team

8:35

is playing badly. Then what the captain

8:37

has to do he then gets to

8:39

in some instances? The altars have have

8:41

blockaded the stadium Refused that the players

8:43

leave and that the the captain is

8:46

then demanded to go and have a

8:48

meeting with their head ultra. Oh my

8:50

god the

8:53

kind of pressure while you're playing a

8:55

world-class soccer match. Yeah, so then this

8:57

kid, and let's be fair, he's a

8:59

kid in his mid to late 20s

9:01

probably, then has to go out and

9:03

have a meeting with his 40-year-old tattooed

9:05

psycho and then explain to him exactly

9:08

why the team is underperforming. Wow, that's

9:10

basically what professional sports is especially soccer

9:12

is like you're you're trying to do

9:14

your best in front of 50,000 people

9:16

who are all screaming that you're a

9:18

cut. Yeah That's basically it In that

9:20

sense, fighting is more pure. Because people

9:22

don't really get upset at a fighter

9:24

for losing. You really more like celebrate

9:26

the other guy for winning. You know,

9:28

it's very rare the fighter gets demolished

9:30

for losing. Like they would have to

9:33

lose in a specific way. Like they'd

9:35

have to quit somehow. But there's none

9:37

of that in the U.F.C. Because to

9:39

get at that level, you can't have

9:41

any of that in you. By the

9:43

time you get to the big show,

9:45

like those guys are tried and proven.

9:47

they they're not there's no cowards in

9:49

that group you know so they don't

9:51

get that same kind of criticism that

9:53

athletes have which is one of the

9:55

because it's also it's like literally your

9:58

life's on the line like it's it's

10:00

a different thing you're doing than just

10:02

a sport which is why the regular

10:04

kind of journalism doesn't work in MMA

10:06

like sports journalism in the United States

10:08

at least is like super insulting like

10:10

everybody's he's a bum he's lazy he

10:12

doesn't do the work in the off-season

10:14

and we're seeing it now he's a

10:16

fun Like, that's what they like to

10:18

do that. Same in the UK, man.

10:20

You do that about fighters, and they'll

10:23

find you, all right? They'll fucking smack

10:25

you in your face. Like, this is

10:27

their soul, their bearing in front of

10:29

the world. And for you, some fat

10:31

guy chewing Adderall and typing into a

10:33

Mac book air, fuck you! Like I'll

10:35

smack you in your fucking head, he's

10:37

a terrifying human being, trying his best,

10:39

and you have to describe it that

10:41

way, because it's a different thing than

10:43

someone who doesn't hit free throws. It's

10:45

a different thing. Did you ever hear

10:48

the story? I think it was a

10:50

guy called Curtis Woodhouse. It was someone

10:52

like that. So it may not have

10:54

been Curtis, but it was someone of

10:56

that ilk. Wasn't that heavy? He was

10:58

a middleweight champion, but he wasn't European

11:00

or world, but he was a British

11:02

middleweight champion, but he was a British

11:04

middleweight champion, which is still a huge

11:06

achievement. Huge, huge achievement. Anyway, so this

11:08

kid was trolling him online and saying

11:10

all this horrendous stuff. And the guy

11:12

just responded, he went, right, I've had

11:15

enough now and I'm coming to find

11:17

you. And the kid was just like,

11:19

yeah, you're going to come and find

11:21

me. And he goes, bro, I know

11:23

you live in Birmingham. And the kid's

11:25

like, yeah, but Birmingham is a big

11:27

place. He went, no, I know people,

11:29

and we will get your address. And

11:31

then so he then started posting photos

11:33

on his Twitter going driving to Birmingham

11:35

to see you. And then he went,

11:37

oh, and then he took a photo

11:40

of the sign of the sign of

11:42

his town of his town. and when

11:44

I'm coming to see you. And then

11:46

he took a forward the board. of

11:48

his road and he went you best

11:50

come out because we're going to be

11:52

talking and the kid just went and

11:54

just apologize and he went that's cool

11:56

bro and he just went knocked on

11:58

his door and had a conversation with

12:00

him Jesus and he was just like

12:02

look and what was the kid what

12:05

did he look like It was just

12:07

like this little fat kid. But we're

12:09

giving people the power and the tools

12:11

that they don't deserve. And I don't

12:13

say that they don't deserve it as

12:15

human beings. I mean... You're not capable

12:17

of handling this kind of responsibility to

12:19

be able to reach out to a

12:21

middle-way champion and call him a pussy.

12:23

That's a crazy thing to do, and

12:25

if you're like 15 years old and

12:27

you have this ability, you shouldn't have

12:30

a license to do that yet. It's

12:32

almost like a driver's license. Maybe you

12:34

should have an internet license. No Billy,

12:36

you can't post another picture of your

12:38

dick. You fucking psycho. You know, like,

12:40

you can't just put up permanently. Things

12:42

that could ruin your entire life when

12:44

you're 15. Maybe there should be that

12:46

maybe it should be like all kids

12:48

internet until they're 21 Everything they post

12:50

it disappears in 15 seconds and you

12:52

can't take a screenshot of it Let

12:55

them be kids. Don't like like people

12:57

are getting fired for a fucking post

12:59

they made when they were in high

13:01

school where someone digs up some old

13:03

Facebook post they made joking around when

13:05

they were in high school Yeah, well

13:07

we interviewed someone, have you seen Adolescence,

13:09

this thing that's doing, it's supposed to

13:11

be the most watched thing on Netflix,

13:13

it's on course. I've heard of it,

13:15

but I haven't seen it. Yeah, so

13:17

it's about, uh, spoiler alert, so if

13:20

you don't want to just tune out,

13:22

but it's basically about a 13 year

13:24

old kid who, uh, he's getting bullied

13:26

by a girl at school. She calls

13:28

him an insull or whatever, and he

13:30

goes and stabs her and kills her

13:32

and kills her, and kills her, and

13:34

kills her, and kills her, and kills

13:36

her, and kills her, and kills her,

13:38

and kills her, and, and, and, and,

13:40

and, and, and, and, and, and, and,

13:42

and, and, and, and, and, and, and,

13:45

and, and, and, and, and, and, and,

13:47

and, and, and, and, and, and, and,

13:49

and, and, and, and, and, and, And

13:51

it's all about that and we had

13:53

a big we had this guy an

13:55

in-cell expert on to talk about a

13:57

guy who was actually in Austin here

13:59

wait a minute. He's an in-cell expert

14:01

Yeah, not practicing. That's why he came

14:03

to see us, Josh. Imagine that's your

14:05

field of choice. Yeah. You're like, you

14:07

know what? I'm going to find out

14:10

what's going on. He researches insults. He

14:12

actually works with David Bus. You've had

14:14

him on the show, right? Yes. Yeah,

14:16

yeah, we wanted to have him on.

14:18

Yeah, David Bus, evolution psychologist. Wait

14:20

a minute. You have had him.

14:22

Because I listened to the episode

14:25

just as how confusing. It is

14:27

to have two thousand five hundred

14:29

episodes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Wait

14:31

a minute. What? Yeah. Sometimes I

14:34

hear about a guy. I'm like,

14:36

wow, that guy's interesting. Then I

14:38

Google. I'm like, fuck. Talked to

14:40

that. Talked to him seven years

14:43

ago. Two years ago. Yeah, my

14:45

brain's mush right now. Let me

14:47

see a photo of Mr. Bus.

14:49

Yeah. He's one of Mr. He's

14:52

one of Mr. He's one of

14:54

Mr. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,

14:56

yes. That guy was fascinating. He's

14:58

friends with Jordan. I went to

15:01

dinner with him in Jordan one

15:03

night. Yeah. Jordan Peterson. And yeah,

15:05

it's fascinating. And you know, that's,

15:07

it was also like super problematic

15:10

because he highlights the differences between

15:12

male psychology and female psychology. And

15:14

people want to deny that that's

15:16

a thing. So like, okay, well,

15:18

okay, with respect to trans people.

15:21

uh... you know use whatever pronoun

15:23

you like change your name but

15:25

can we are we allowed to

15:27

talk about the inherent differences between

15:30

males and females that we've observed

15:32

or we're supposed to ignore like

15:34

data and statistics in reality and

15:36

and a fucking eyes man that's

15:39

all the thing this is his

15:41

field of study his whole life

15:43

imagine you're field of study all

15:45

the sudden becomes problematic right let's

15:48

not look into that yeah I've

15:50

been trying to wrap my mind

15:52

around the idea of quantum computing.

15:54

It's exciting but complex and difficult

15:57

to understand. What I do know

15:59

is that quantum computers can process

16:01

exponentially more data than the ones

16:03

you and I use every day.

16:06

Quantum computers also put a new

16:08

strain on the world of digital

16:10

privacy and cyber security. They may

16:12

one day crack encryption algorithms that

16:14

we... currently consider secure. That's why

16:17

Express VPN upgraded their encryption to

16:19

use MLKEM, the strongest available protection

16:21

from post quantum threats. With ExpressVPN,

16:23

all your online activity is rerouted

16:26

through secure encrypted servers. even though

16:28

all your data is still being

16:30

handled by your internet provider or

16:32

whoever the provider is for the

16:35

random public Wi-Fi network you're on,

16:37

none of these third parties will

16:39

be able to read your data

16:41

or hijack your connection for malicious

16:44

intent. And with post- quantum protection,

16:46

ExpressVPN is essentially future-proofing your privacy.

16:48

just one of many reasons why

16:50

Express VPN is the absolute best

16:53

VPN out there. So if you

16:55

want to get the highest standards

16:57

of post quantum protection from your

16:59

VPN service, tap the banner or

17:01

go to expressvpn.com/Rogan. And now listeners

17:04

can get four extra months for

17:06

free. That's expressvpn.com/Rogan. And if you're

17:08

watching on YouTube, you can get

17:10

your four free months. by scanning

17:13

the QR code on screen or

17:15

by clicking the link in the

17:17

description. The water is racist. Like,

17:19

you're giving into the dumbest notions.

17:22

And it's happening, it's at scale,

17:24

and it seems like there's like

17:26

two factions in what I would

17:28

call like the American left right

17:31

now. There's the reasonable people that

17:33

are like, hey, hey, hey, we

17:35

gotta just stop being crazy. Don't

17:37

go all the way over there.

17:40

Stick where we're most people off.

17:42

And then there's people that we

17:44

got to go further left. Then

17:46

there's people that we got to

17:49

take over Tesla dealerships. We got

17:51

to light cars on fire. The

17:53

left is like justifying spraying Nazi

17:55

swastikas. on cars. Like this is

17:57

crazy. They've gone so far over

18:00

this. So there's one side that's

18:02

just like radicalized in the worst

18:04

way possible that's a huge detriment

18:06

to the Democratic Party because it

18:09

makes everyone look like a psycho.

18:11

If you have a psycho in

18:13

your groups, like if you have

18:15

like a white nationalist, you know,

18:18

Christian fundamentalist burning down black churches

18:20

in your and he says I'm

18:22

a part of the right as

18:24

a right wing conservative man, like

18:27

whoa. That guy poisoned the right.

18:29

Poisoning the left totally all the

18:31

people that don't want trans kids

18:33

competing with their kids in school

18:35

And they don't want gender ideology

18:37

be in talking class all those

18:39

people who are just rational normal

18:42

liberals that have voted Democrat their

18:44

whole life They're like what the

18:46

fuck? What the fuck? What are

18:48

you doing? Why are you letting

18:50

guys into the women's room? This

18:52

is bananas like what are you

18:54

doing in the name of compassion

18:56

like this is fucking insane? and

18:59

they're in this scattered thing where

19:01

they're trying to shit on everything he

19:03

does, hide all the good stuff. You

19:05

didn't hear a peep about Elon rescuing

19:07

those people. That should have been

19:09

on all of the news stories

19:11

all day long. We should have

19:14

had a live stream of it.

19:16

It should have been a huge

19:18

national event. We're finally going to

19:20

rescue the astronauts who are trapped

19:22

in the space station for eight

19:24

fucking months. And this super genius...

19:26

This Elon Musk character is the guy who

19:28

figured out how to go get them.

19:30

His company went and rescued them because

19:32

we can't do it anymore. We couldn't

19:34

rescue them. We had to rely on his

19:36

company and you only hear shit about it.

19:39

You don't hear shit about it. It's

19:41

crazy. You hear a few stories. They're

19:43

having a hard time coming back. Why

19:45

weren't they live streaming the whole thing?

19:47

That's a huge moment. You're recovering these

19:49

poor people. This is a giant special

19:51

interest story that would grab so many

19:53

headlines and it would have so much

19:55

ratings because everybody wants to see it.

19:57

Oh my God, they're going to get

19:59

the astronaut. You'd be sitting on your

20:01

couch with your family. Are you

20:03

going to get them? Is it

20:05

going to dock? Is it going

20:07

to work? You know? All that

20:09

shit. But nothing. Well, the hope

20:11

is, man, the reality is the

20:13

best teacher, right? So the Democrat

20:15

brand is so destroyed now, so

20:17

toxic, that they're going to have

20:19

to work something out, because if

20:21

not, they're just going to keep

20:24

losing. They're going to go with

20:26

Bernie and AOC. And that's why

20:28

they've been Astro-turf in all these

20:30

giant arenas, for people living it.

20:32

They did an analysis of, find

20:34

out if this is true, because

20:36

I read this on X. And

20:38

sometimes the community community knows doesn't

20:40

get there, doesn't get there in

20:42

time. But they were saying that

20:44

they claimed there was 30,000 people,

20:46

but they got all the cell

20:48

phone data and they found out

20:50

there was 24,000 cell phones. So

20:52

they fudged a little bit. That

20:54

sounds normal. But they also said

20:56

that a huge number of these

20:58

people had been to 20 plus

21:00

events and a lot of other

21:02

different, like, progressive events. And it

21:04

seems like at least on some

21:06

of them, for sure, they were

21:08

paying people. So they're giving people

21:10

money to get on a bus,

21:12

go to this place, here's your

21:14

sign, go have fun. And so

21:16

you're doing something different, right? You're

21:18

pretending that these people are all

21:20

coming out to see you. But

21:22

they're coming out to see you.

21:25

But they're coming out to see

21:27

you, because you're giving the money

21:29

and free food. And you know,

21:31

you handed out water bottles and

21:33

everybody gets a sign. And everybody

21:35

seems like they're kind of a

21:37

part of a team. And for

21:39

a lot of people who. Hey

21:41

man, you want to make 400

21:43

bucks and just go to this

21:45

Kamla Harris rally? I'm like, yeah,

21:47

let's go. I went 100% go.

21:49

I'm 100% go with no political.

21:51

And then I probably think she's

21:53

cool. I'm like, yeah, I'm fucking

21:55

voting for her, dude. He's Hitler.

21:57

That guy, we got to stop

21:59

Hitler. And I'd be holding up

22:01

that stupid side. If he found

22:03

me when I was 21, 100%

22:05

I want to take him that

22:07

400. I'm not sure about that,

22:09

but I think it was Tesla.

22:11

So they had like the rules

22:13

of engagement if someone comes after

22:15

you, hit them in the body,

22:17

don't pick up an object unless

22:19

they pick up an object first.

22:21

Like are you organizing gangs? Like

22:23

are you guys paying money for

22:25

people and then literally saying to

22:28

them, here's what happens if you

22:30

engage in violence? Like why is

22:32

that even on the table? I

22:34

thought you guys were peacefully protesting.

22:36

Like who's going to get, how

22:38

many pro- Tesla? fucking hooligans are

22:40

out there beating people up for

22:42

Tesla is it fucking zero I've

22:44

not seen a bunch of pro

22:46

Tesla gang members out there for

22:48

so what are you gonna encounter

22:50

with this anti Tesla movement the

22:52

police like who's gonna stop you

22:54

from doing who's gonna engage with

22:56

you like this is you're kind

22:58

of talking up in a way

23:00

that at least Puts it on

23:02

the table that violence might take

23:04

place. And you're praying people. Yeah,

23:06

and they because they destroyed language

23:08

now It sort of logically makes

23:10

sense right if these people are

23:12

Nazis If you actually thought they

23:14

were Nazis, like if you actually

23:16

thought Nazis had taken over your

23:18

country, you'd pick up a gun.

23:20

You shouldn't need a thousand bucks.

23:22

Free lunch. The thousand bucks and

23:24

free lunch is crazy. You need

23:26

to smooth things over. Make it

23:29

easier. Yeah, you need to subsidize

23:31

your movement. You know what I

23:33

mean? Yeah. You would have a

23:35

hard time doing a thousand bucks

23:37

one. I'd be like, bro, we're

23:39

going to jail. I'm not that

23:41

stupid. What happens if we get

23:43

arrested? Like, this guy's rich. I'm

23:45

like, he's definitely not gonna let

23:47

you light his fucking cars on

23:49

fire stupid. He's the richest man

23:51

on earth. Like, what are you

23:53

talking about? Yeah, but you are

23:55

someone who's got a family, you're

23:57

well adjusted. Like, if you look

23:59

at some- Even when I was

24:01

young, I had a survival instincts.

24:03

I don't want to be unkind,

24:05

but they don't look particularly well.

24:07

That's 100% true. And I think

24:09

we need to have a lot

24:11

of compassion for young people that

24:13

get caught up in these movements

24:15

and do silly things. And they,

24:17

even vandalism, they just need to

24:19

understand that that should never be

24:21

on the table. No violent acts

24:23

are ever justified, especially if not

24:25

someone's not being violent to you.

24:27

If you just started to just

24:29

go smash property and light things

24:32

on fire. You don't serve your

24:34

cause because rational, reasonable people are

24:36

not going to do that. They're

24:38

not going to light Starbucks on

24:40

fire because Black Lives Matter. That's

24:42

crazy. But if you get caught

24:44

up in this, fuck the corporate

24:46

thing, man, fuck the man, fuck

24:48

the banks, and fuck this, and

24:50

you just want to start lighting

24:52

things on fire, you're just serving

24:54

them because they will develop better

24:56

and stronger ways to crack down

24:58

on protest now. And all the

25:00

people that wanted to protest recently,

25:02

all the people that wanted to

25:04

express themselves and say, we stand

25:06

together to say that this is

25:08

wrong. Those people are all gonna

25:10

get hosed. Yeah. Because you lit

25:12

Starbucks on far, you fucking idiot.

25:14

And that's, but they're young. A

25:16

lot of these people, they have

25:18

fucking blue hair. They probably had

25:20

a shitty childhood. They're running around,

25:22

like, experiencing freedom for like, the

25:24

first time in the life for

25:26

like, the last 16 months, right?

25:28

parents house and they get caught

25:30

up in shit just like people

25:33

get caught up in being in

25:35

cults you know people get caught

25:37

up in all kinds of things

25:39

so we just have to have

25:41

more compassion for people and better

25:43

mentorship one of the real problems

25:45

is that kids go to universities

25:47

and almost universally they're given this

25:49

ideology that this whole university and

25:51

almost every university describes to and

25:53

it's like universal it's it's it's

25:55

it's uniform it's it's uniform it's

25:57

uniform it's it's but they're almost

25:59

all liberal. It's like, yeah, almost

26:01

all higher learning. There's only a

26:03

few conservative universities. It's just a

26:05

weird time for thinking and for

26:07

discourse and for deciding what team

26:09

you're on. It's like everyone's scared

26:11

and scrambling, you know, do we

26:13

go red or blue? It's just

26:15

that the whole country's in this

26:17

like weird state of disarray. And

26:19

it's very tribal and you see

26:21

it now as well, you know,

26:23

now that the right is in

26:25

political power. A lot of the

26:27

people who kind of made their

26:29

bones challenging the excesses of the left

26:31

are afraid to say anything about the right

26:34

as well, even though there's things to say

26:36

like I don't know if you followed the

26:38

signal group thing. Yeah, I did. I don't

26:40

know enough about it, but it does seem

26:43

like there's people that suspected it was a

26:45

setup. That guy was added to the chat

26:47

on purpose. Well, I think is that true.

26:49

I don't think so. I think the guy

26:52

who added him has basically said like it

26:54

was basically said like, like, it was just

26:56

a mistake. I don't think the investigation has

26:58

been done to say definitively, but I think

27:00

the White House said we're looking into

27:02

this, but Tulsa I think said it

27:05

was a mistake. I think Mike Walt

27:07

said it was a mistake. Such a

27:09

crazy mistake. Yeah. That's such a checks

27:11

and balances mistake? Like double check? Yes.

27:13

It's like, you know, when you go

27:15

on the road, like, do I have

27:17

my toothbrush? Yeah. Do I want to

27:19

work? You know what I mean? Like,

27:21

I even make a note on my

27:23

phone now. I'm like, I'm too stupid.

27:25

I always forget something. I was like,

27:27

fuck my, my, my this. You know,

27:29

it's kind of like adding

27:31

your ex-girlfriend to the

27:33

boy's WhatsApp group. Yeah. That's exactly

27:35

what it's like. That's such a

27:38

perfect analogy. What the fuck bro?

27:40

You know Pete Hex that swears?

27:42

You know, he's like, what the

27:44

fuck bro? You know she's gonna

27:47

talk. But how about the fact

27:49

that they said that they didn't

27:51

share any information about weapons or

27:54

like what was the exact quotes?

27:56

What did they say? So what

27:58

they were basically doing with explaining

28:00

how some shit was going to go

28:03

down. Yeah. They were debating how to

28:05

do the strikes, whether to do them.

28:07

There was some debate about that initially.

28:10

And then, initially this journalist, I think

28:12

he's editor-in-chief of the Atlantic, I think.

28:14

He... Which is the, he is like

28:17

the worst guy to get this information

28:19

too. Absolutely, right? He's probably jerking off

28:21

the whole time, salivating, like, yes! Yeah,

28:24

if you had to pick somebody, that

28:26

is not who you pick, right? But

28:28

you know, we had an investigative journalist

28:31

on the show, and we haven't released

28:33

the episode yet, but as part of

28:35

our after the show questions, he mentioned,

28:38

which is he said, which is he

28:40

said, gone from memory here so Francis

28:42

correct me but basically that signal had

28:45

been installed on government devices under the

28:47

previous administration so it may be the

28:49

case that that guy's number had been

28:51

pre-installed during that time and because of

28:54

that the mistake was then made to

28:56

Adam to the group So we don't

28:58

know exactly what happened, but at the

29:01

same time, what I'm saying is like

29:03

the White House admitted it and then

29:05

they started having a go at the

29:08

journalist. Like that is not his fucking

29:10

fault, that you added him to the

29:12

group, right? You know what I mean?

29:15

What's he supposed to do? Tell you,

29:17

hey guys, I've done that before. I

29:19

think he sent this text to the

29:22

wrong dude. Yeah. The journalist is never

29:24

going to do that, and that's not

29:26

his job to do that either, either,

29:29

either. when you're planning war, like this

29:31

is, first of all, it's so crazy

29:33

that the government doesn't have its own,

29:36

completely safe app. They do. I think

29:38

it's called a skiff or something like

29:40

that. It's a special place where you

29:43

go. No, but that's a room. I

29:45

mean, an app. Oh, you mean an

29:47

app? All right. Why did they not

29:50

have some encrypted super government app? You

29:52

telling me that you couldn't get like

29:54

a license from a signal to use

29:56

the code, the government throws all these

29:59

billions that are just they're finding billions

30:01

all over them there's like billions they've

30:03

cut like how many fucking billions is

30:06

Elon cut just from waste the trillion

30:08

he says yeah it's crazy and people

30:10

aren't celebrating it it's weird well put

30:13

it this way Joe until relatively recently

30:15

if not still we use faxes in

30:17

UK government wow that's crazy A lot

30:20

of... I think we got... You won

30:22

better. I think when people retire from...

30:24

What is it where they have to

30:27

retire where they have to write it

30:29

down on paper and then it's stored

30:31

in a vault? In a mine. It's

30:34

stored in a mine? Yeah. Social Security?

30:37

It's on paper. It's in a

30:39

mine. I love that press conference

30:41

as well because it's like Brett

30:43

Bair from Fox interviewing Elon and

30:45

like seven other Aspe guys and

30:47

they're all just rattling off numbers.

30:49

It's 10,000 filing cabinets 400,000 paper

30:52

documents But when you look at

30:54

it it basically hasn't changed since

30:56

the 1950s. Yeah, I'm distracted by

30:58

Brett Bair's hair. It's so beautiful

31:00

Fire that kind of hair. I'll

31:02

be so happy with so happy

31:04

with myself. You can't see any

31:06

scalp anywhere. It's just all hair.

31:08

It's like if you wanted to

31:10

like put a wig on a

31:12

bald guy like you would make

31:14

it like that like bro I'm

31:16

gonna make you hot Yeah, Gavin

31:18

Newsom has got incredible hair terrible

31:20

policies, but amazing hair The government

31:22

stores key retirement paperwork in a

31:24

converted mine But you know what's

31:26

crazy the limestone mine is real

31:28

and in the Department of Government

31:30

efficiencies cross hairs that is so

31:32

insane so now someone has to

31:34

go in there and take all

31:36

that stuff that's on paper in

31:38

the mine and put it in

31:40

a computer. They're saying they're going

31:43

to do it in two months.

31:45

Digitize that on two months. Adderall

31:47

is great. I'm so happy someone

31:49

invented it. That's what you mean.

31:51

Low-level autism plus Adderall. Problem solved.

31:53

I'm not accusing anyone of anything.

31:55

I just want to say. Shout

31:57

out to whoever made Adderall. Things

31:59

get done. But this is kind

32:01

of the greatest push. back against

32:03

like high level conspiracy theories. You

32:05

know when people go, they control

32:07

everything. You're like, dude, they have

32:09

a mind where they store stuff.

32:11

Come on. Yeah. You know what

32:13

I mean? Right. It's like the

32:15

perfect. Everybody thinks that everything is

32:17

a giant plot and some of

32:19

it is just sheer incompetence and

32:21

just years and years and years

32:23

of monotony. You know, or just

32:25

like the same stupid life over

32:27

and over again. No oversight. rampant

32:29

corruption everywhere all the lobbyists are

32:32

rich as fuck I mean look

32:34

at this file line look at

32:36

this is all this is all

32:38

the data but bro this is

32:40

you make such a good point

32:42

about nobody giving them credit I

32:44

don't know if you've ever had

32:46

access to other people's money like

32:48

in any way right taxpayer money

32:50

or anything but I can tell

32:52

you Francis and I we even

32:54

spent trigonometry which is our business

32:56

money differently to the way that

32:58

we spend our own because it's

33:00

slightly different it's not entirely yours

33:02

in the slight in the way

33:04

you know so when you're dealing

33:06

with billions of taxpayer dollars of

33:08

course it's getting wasted off course

33:10

it's going to corrupt shit Of

33:12

course. It's inevitable. What are you

33:14

a child? If no one's watching

33:16

them, duh. Right. Fucking duh, it's

33:18

what all people do. And the

33:21

question is, what I don't understand

33:23

is, look, I think it's very

33:25

possible that when you move quickly,

33:27

you're going to cancel some things

33:29

that you might not want to

33:31

cancel, things are not going to

33:33

go perfectly every time, whatever. But

33:35

ultimately, the question all Western countries

33:37

have to answer is, we should.

33:39

You were actually... Bro, you were

33:41

worse than we are. Really? Yeah,

33:43

you're a hundred and twenty-six percent,

33:45

we're about a hundred and ten.

33:47

God damn, really? Yeah. Wow. Yeah,

33:49

that's why you're trying to deal

33:51

with it. That's what Elon is

33:53

trying to do, is trying to

33:55

cut the deficit in half, and

33:57

then the idea is you grow

33:59

the economy, and you actually get

34:01

back to... here and two billion

34:03

there and all like the Stacey

34:05

Abrams one where they're gonna give

34:07

energy efficient appliances to poor people

34:10

yeah two billion dollars yeah like

34:12

what did you do like what

34:14

did you do like what did

34:16

you do like there's a bunch

34:18

of those like what did you

34:20

do like the high-speed internet one

34:22

yeah what did you do How

34:24

come you got billions of dollars

34:26

and fucking nothing happened? Imagine if

34:28

you were a private company and

34:30

you had a segment, like imagine

34:32

we were all a company and

34:34

we're like, Francis, I think you

34:36

should be in charge of figuring

34:38

out how to do this with

34:40

the phone. We've already fucked you.

34:42

I'm giving you four billion dollars

34:44

to get this done and then

34:46

I never talked to you again.

34:48

I never check in, I don't

34:50

say, I don't go, hey, where's

34:52

the fucking money being spent? What

34:54

are you doing, man? How come

34:56

the phone can't do this yet?

34:58

I don't, I don't ask for

35:01

any progress reports, you just keep

35:03

kidding money. This is bananas. It's

35:05

crazy. And for anybody who doesn't

35:07

want that to be more efficient,

35:09

like, what are you working for?

35:11

You're part of your day. is

35:13

the running of this government. You're

35:15

happy that it's being run like

35:17

this? You're happy that billions of

35:19

going to places that no one

35:21

can train. You have no receipts.

35:23

You don't know where it got

35:25

spent. You have no idea. And

35:27

that's legal. Yeah. When it comes

35:29

36:36

gaming resources CDKNG.co/audio. Yeah it's sort

36:39

of like but I kind of

36:41

think about it like this it's

36:43

sort of the equivalent you know

36:45

those direct debits that come out

36:47

of your account yeah you just

36:49

like what's that? What's that? What

36:51

did I sign up for? I

36:53

cancel that gym membership what the

36:55

fuck yeah and it keeps coming

36:57

out you like you know what

36:59

I'll deal with it later. That's

37:01

kind of we've just got too

37:03

many direct debits and they're going

37:05

all over the place Well, it's

37:07

that but then there's the fear

37:09

that they're putting out there which

37:11

is the just fear that they're

37:13

gonna fuck up Social Security and

37:15

they're gonna fuck up Medicaid and

37:17

there's people that are relying on

37:19

that and they're gonna lose their

37:21

service for no they didn't know

37:23

how what the story is with

37:25

that. Like I know there's people

37:27

that have complained that the social

37:30

security website has been down, it's

37:32

been down a couple times, but

37:34

I don't know if people are

37:36

not getting their benefits. Do we

37:38

know? Can we find that out?

37:40

I haven't heard that job, but

37:42

I do some research. I think

37:44

it is inevitable that when you

37:46

do things this quickly. But that's

37:48

what everyone's afraid of, that the

37:50

vulnerable people, the people that we

37:52

should be protecting with these social

37:54

programs that we all agree with.

37:56

Those are the people we have

37:58

to protect the most. We have

38:00

to make sure that there's no

38:02

disruptions. You've got to make sure

38:04

before you do anything, there's no

38:06

disruptions. Before you shoot the bad

38:08

guy, make sure he's not holding

38:10

a baby. When people are on Social

38:13

Security, man, they're fucking, if that's not

38:15

a lot of money, right? And

38:17

so you know, they don't have any

38:19

money in the bank probably, and they

38:22

probably have it all budgeted out to

38:24

get on that check, and they're

38:26

probably real. with their food choices and

38:28

that's a rough life man and if

38:30

you cut that off for thirty days

38:33

ninety days for people okay never missed

38:35

a benefit payment you have social

38:37

security administration has never missed a

38:39

benefit payment now the continuity of

38:41

monthly checks for millions of Americans

38:43

could be at risk following changes

38:45

under the Trump administration former commissioner

38:47

Martin O'Malley says so it's saying

38:49

okay so the key points is

38:51

it's saying before this they've never

38:53

missed a benefit payment but it's

38:55

also not saying they are missing

38:57

them now it's saying it could

38:59

be at risk yeah okay it

39:01

just says threaten interruption of benefits

39:03

which is look what I would

39:05

say if I was a Democrat if I

39:07

wanted to make it look bad I would

39:10

say they're threatening your benefits and then people

39:12

going to a hot panic But you know,

39:14

I remember when I was teaching, and

39:16

I was teaching in schools that were

39:19

super deprived. Schools where the kids,

39:21

a lot of them would come

39:23

to school, they didn't have food

39:25

in their bellies, etc., etc. And

39:28

there's an agency in the UK

39:30

called Cams, which is Child and

39:32

Mental Health Services. And I remember

39:35

that we had so many kids

39:37

who had problems, psychological problems, particularly

39:40

if you grow up... poor deprived you

39:42

know you'd seen a horrible stuff when you

39:44

were a kid you had you know maybe

39:46

like a brother who got involved in gangs

39:48

is now in prison a father who was

39:50

never there there was so many kids who

39:53

had this need and they had conditions

39:55

which were undiagnosed whether it's something

39:57

like dyslexia or like your brother

39:59

got murdered you had some form

40:01

of PTSD and you had this you

40:04

know this agency which brought counselors in

40:06

which brought psychologists in and psychiatrists

40:08

who were experts dealing with kids and

40:11

I just remember because of austerity

40:13

you know this this agency got cut

40:15

after cut after cut and you're

40:17

looking at it and you're going like

40:19

I understand we need to cut

40:21

I understand we're running at a deficit.

40:24

But there needs to be balance

40:26

as well because when you're looking at

40:28

those type of agencies, they're really

40:30

important. They're really important. And also if

40:32

you invest that money and you're

40:34

able to support those kids, they're far

40:37

more likely when they leave school

40:39

to be a healthy, happier member of

40:41

society that's going to contribute tax

40:43

pounds sterling or tax dollars. Do you

40:45

think it's a reasonable request to

40:47

have... something that does that something that

40:50

helps feed poor kids helps educate

40:52

people like genuinely helps communities all around

40:54

the world completely separate from all

40:56

the other stuff that agency does because

40:58

like USAID was a huge huge

41:00

huge gigantic organization of a bunch of

41:03

different entities right which did some

41:05

good stuff yeah and a lot of

41:07

crazy shit like like but if

41:09

I was Someone who was you know

41:11

nefariously running things. I would definitely

41:13

mix up my regime change operation With

41:16

like giving food to poor people.

41:18

So look we're doing great stuff. We're

41:20

all great stuff. We're doing here's

41:22

what we're highlighting for this month. Like

41:24

feeding poor kids? What's wrong with

41:26

you? Yeah, and and no one even

41:29

knew that they had this enormous

41:31

budget that was is what is it

41:33

bigger than the Pentagon? Is it

41:35

bigger than the Pentagon? No, what is

41:37

what is point point six percent

41:39

of the budget or what was USAids

41:42

budget? Yeah, it's like point six

41:44

percent of the I know but like

41:46

what was the numbers? Did it

41:48

because it was Bigger than something, like

41:50

the amount of money that USA

41:52

aid pays. 21.7 billion for the fiscal

41:55

year of 20, 24.3% of the

41:57

6.8 trillion dollar overall federal budget. 6.

41:59

what trillion? That's so crazy. So

42:01

you just think just that money, how

42:03

much of that money is fraud

42:05

and waste? How much that money is

42:08

really good? How much that money,

42:10

like, that should be separate from, at

42:12

the very least, someone needs to

42:14

go in and audit and go, hey,

42:16

hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,

42:18

well's good, given these people arms, because

42:21

you want them to overthrow that

42:23

government, that's probably not so good. Yeah.

42:25

Or maybe it is good. Maybe

42:27

it is good. It's like, you talk

42:29

to guys like Mike Baker, like

42:31

Mike Baker, who is very kind of

42:34

stoic about all this. You have

42:36

no choice, like you need to get

42:38

these people on your side in

42:40

certain parts of the world and this

42:42

is just how it works. And

42:44

if you don't do that, then China

42:47

does or Russia does and it

42:49

gets even worse for you. Yeah, because

42:51

that's also the thing we don't

42:53

get. Okay, this Nigerian journalist, who are

42:55

Nigerians? They run some of the

42:57

best fucking scams, shout out Nigerian scammers,

43:00

Nigerian journalists, falsely claims USAID budget

43:02

larger than CIA, state department combined. So

43:04

he falsely claimed it. That's a

43:06

big lesson and if you're gonna lie,

43:08

make it believable. You know what

43:10

I mean? Don't go too big. Isn't

43:13

it crazy that as much money

43:15

as they got, what was it, how

43:17

much billion? 21? Still. It's a

43:19

pittance. It is. That's a pittance compared

43:21

to the other things. You boys

43:23

have a lot of money, Joe. Isn't

43:26

that nuts? And we just keep

43:28

making it. Yeah. Do you know what's

43:30

bigger than your defense budget? Your

43:32

interest debt on the interest. Whoopsies. We

43:34

have the same. We're like crackhead

43:36

with an unlimited bank account. Yeah. That's

43:39

where we're like. Yeah. And this

43:41

is a difficulty about it because we've

43:43

got the same problem in European

43:45

countries as well. going to have to

43:48

not do some shit that we

43:50

really want to do because we have

43:52

been spending like crazy everywhere. And

43:54

when we like in the UK when

43:56

I look at those I think

43:58

we need that in the UK 100%

44:01

and some of it is going to

44:03

have to you know my overreach

44:05

then you pull it back you got

44:07

to make sure it's done properly

44:09

but We're not going to get away

44:12

from this man. We have been

44:14

living beyond our means for decades now.

44:16

Well, you can't have no oversight

44:18

of government spending. I think we're learning

44:20

that. That's fucking controversial, mate. You're

44:22

a Nazi. You're a Nazi. It's so

44:25

crazy to say that that's controversial,

44:27

but it is controversial to say. And

44:29

I would be saying it no

44:31

matter who the fuck is in charge.

44:33

That's right. It's just as human

44:35

beings. You can't let people have that

44:38

much control over your money. Always

44:40

they want to raise taxes on the

44:42

rich What they never want to

44:44

do is slash inefficiency and waste Yeah,

44:46

because that's what pays them That's

44:48

their that's their fucking system. They're locked

44:51

into this system. They're the last

44:53

people who should be commenting on it

44:55

because it's literally what pays you

44:57

like I can't trust you Like you

44:59

need more taxes, is that what

45:01

you need? You're like, dad, it's like

45:04

a cocaine kid of, that's a

45:06

kid of a billionaire. Dad, I need

45:08

more fucking money. These fucking business

45:10

assholes are trying to fuck me, and

45:12

I'm gonna buy them out now.

45:14

Like, okay son, here, we cut you

45:17

a check, get the fuck out

45:19

of here. That's what we're like, we're

45:21

insane. We're completely insane. It's also

45:23

as well, you know, it's because of

45:25

our electoral electoral system, everybody thinks

45:27

on the short term. Nobody thinks on

45:30

the long term. And also as

45:32

well, you're going to like, you go,

45:34

you talk about more taxes. And

45:36

you know, that's going to piss people

45:38

off. But it's not going to

45:40

piss as many people off as if

45:43

you fire great swathes of people,

45:45

particularly those that may vote for you.

45:47

Because we know, for instance, with

45:49

the Dems, that you're more likely to

45:51

vote for them if you're a

45:53

bureaucrat, if you work in government and

45:56

all that. Head injuries. As a

45:58

result, why are you going to piss

46:00

off the people who are more

46:02

likely to vote for you? Really, on

46:04

a logical basis, doesn't really make

46:06

much sense. But you know, it sounds

46:09

like we're slagging off the left,

46:11

and we are, because it's necessary. But

46:13

I can't wait for the left

46:15

to recover their sanity, because they're going

46:17

to be super necessary over time,

46:19

because when people get into power, they

46:22

do a lot of stuff, and

46:24

then eventually that power is corrupting. 100%.

46:26

100% everybody needs to hear that

46:28

and shout that from the rooftops because

46:30

if the left stays crazy then

46:32

you lose balance and then the right

46:35

goes nuttier and they go full

46:37

Christian fundamentalist like they can get they

46:39

can get kooky and this is

46:41

not a knock on Christians because I

46:43

think true Christianity is wonderful and

46:45

beautiful. I think it's a great way

46:48

to live your life and I

46:50

know some incredible Christians. Some of the

46:52

best people. I'm talking about human

46:54

nature as applied to power. And when

46:56

people get into power they want

46:58

more and more and more and more

47:01

that's why a rich people never

47:03

feel like they have enough money. It's

47:05

a crazy part of being a

47:07

man. And it's some women, but it's

47:09

a lot of men, but it's

47:11

a lot of men. A lot of

47:14

men want that. I don't know.

47:16

I wish I could figure out how

47:18

I'd do it so easy. I

47:20

think it's working out. I think that's

47:23

a huge part of it. I

47:25

torture myself so often that like regular

47:27

life just doesn't freak me out

47:29

as much. And then it gives me

47:31

a balance because you know you

47:33

could think that the numbers in a

47:36

bank account are really what counts.

47:38

But what really counts is how do

47:40

you feel? How are you handling

47:42

life? How are you enjoying life? I

47:44

just try to enjoy life as

47:46

much as possible and I try to

47:49

put myself through a lot of

47:51

voluntary adversity so regular adversity is not

47:53

that big of a deal. Was

47:55

there a number that you got to

47:57

and you were like... Oh, I'm

47:59

good now. No. I think it was

48:02

a fear factor days. The fear factor

48:04

days changed my, um, it just changed

48:06

how I view everything. Because then

48:08

I had like legitimate, fuck you

48:10

money. You know, that was like

48:12

the first time I got, I

48:14

got, fuck you money. Like I'm

48:16

not doing shit. And I just

48:18

like decided to just concentrate on

48:20

only doing my own thing after

48:22

that. And like, like, once you,

48:24

Brian counts had something really. wise ones.

48:27

He said, once you can go to a

48:29

restaurant and not have to worry about how much

48:31

it costs, everything after that is

48:33

bullshit. He's like, you just have to

48:35

be comfortable. And I was like, that's

48:37

right. That is right. Like if you

48:39

just start thinking about the numbers and

48:41

chasing the numbers, Brian has a friend

48:43

who's worth $3 billion. And he feels

48:45

poor when he hangs around with his

48:47

friend who's worth $80 billion. I'm not

48:50

kidding. He's like, it's true, dude. I

48:52

mean, it's fucking, I feel less worthy.

48:54

He's like, they're drinking together and he's

48:56

telling him this. I'm like, this is

48:58

madness. Because you're chasing numbers. instead of

49:00

like really trying to maximize your enjoyment

49:02

of this experience because it's a unique

49:04

experience that only you are having and

49:07

you're interacting with so many bizarre and

49:09

fascinating people and there's so many bizarre

49:11

and fascinating events that are happening in

49:14

the world and horrific events and all

49:16

of it is happening and we're all

49:18

seeing it together in real time for

49:21

the first time in human history has

49:23

never been a time in the less

49:25

of the Egyptians I got some questions

49:28

I think they might have known a

49:30

lot more than we think. But everybody

49:32

else, this is the only

49:34

time ever where we're sharing

49:36

everything all the time. And

49:38

there's a lot of confusion

49:40

and a lot of like

49:42

scattering for narratives and trying

49:44

to figure out what's right

49:46

and what's wrong. But without

49:48

like some sort of like

49:51

moral and ethical guidelines of

49:53

kindness and community. for everybody

49:55

like share like universally let's

49:57

agree as Americans we are gonna

50:00

respect each other like we're a community

50:02

if we have differing beliefs on welfare

50:04

or abortion or war or whatever it

50:06

is like let's let's treat those like

50:09

what they are which is just ideas

50:11

that we should be discussing based on

50:13

their merits and we should all agree

50:15

what does everybody want? Everybody wants to

50:18

be happy and healthy, and they want

50:20

their family to be happy and healthy,

50:22

and they want to be able to

50:25

make a living and enjoy their life.

50:27

That's what everybody wants, universally. That should

50:29

be what we discuss constantly. And all

50:31

the other things should be things that

50:34

we debate reasonably. And when people can't

50:36

do that, you should lock them out

50:38

of the conversation. You should say, like,

50:41

no, you're crazy, you calling him a

50:43

retard, and you're screaming about this and

50:45

that, and you're bringing up this from

50:47

the past, and this bill, and that,

50:50

why did you flip-flop on that? Shut

50:52

the fuck up! Like stop talking like

50:54

that. Like this is all divisive, all

50:57

of it's divisive, when it's like the

50:59

one time where there's a possibility of

51:01

a fork in the road. Like this

51:03

one time where there's narratives that are

51:06

being spread like you guys do all

51:08

the time in your show. All the

51:10

time. You give reasonable takes on things

51:13

that have an objective perspective of the

51:15

world and then other people get to

51:17

hear it. And then they listen in

51:19

on that and you have a great

51:22

conversation with Jordan Peterson or someone and

51:24

somebody hears like some nugget of truth

51:26

And then they're in their car. I'm

51:29

like fuck. He's right. He's right that

51:31

that person would have never experienced that

51:33

without being connected to your show So

51:35

there's incredible hope for people to be

51:38

more reasonable and to wake up and

51:40

go There's not a right and there's

51:42

not a left There's just a bunch

51:45

of ideas and people are acting like

51:47

it's the eagles versus the cowboys That's

51:49

what it is and this craziness that

51:51

these people are the Nazis and that

51:54

everybody over here is Antifa like what

51:56

the fuck are we doing? And why

51:58

are we allowing these people to do

52:01

this for us and make a living

52:03

putting that on the news all the

52:05

time? And the more inflammatory it is,

52:07

the better. Even when it's ridiculous. Do

52:10

you think sometimes, I look at it

52:12

through this lens, as somebody who's got

52:14

a very obsessive personality and I work

52:16

a lot in order to kind of

52:19

ameliorate that and make sure that it

52:21

doesn't destroy my life and it doesn't

52:23

go off the rails, but you see

52:26

a lot of people and they just

52:28

get addicted and we talk about addiction

52:30

in terms of alcohol or substances, you

52:32

know some people are addicted to outrage

52:35

to being in fights and arguments online

52:37

or offline because if they're in an

52:39

argument they don't have think about themselves.

52:42

They don't have to think about who

52:44

they really are. They don't actually have

52:46

to question about their relationships. Why is

52:48

it that every relationship I've ever had

52:51

has failed? Why is it that my

52:53

relationship with my parents is terrible? And

52:55

so you end up just not wanting

52:58

to actually do the hard work about

53:00

yourself? So you expel it outwards. So

53:02

it's either like, oh, when I get

53:04

to this amount of money, I'm going

53:07

to be happy. But you're never going

53:09

to be happy because your relationships are

53:11

terrible. feel angry because you're not a

53:14

happy person for a million different reasons.

53:16

So then you pull that out onto

53:18

the internet and then you get retweets,

53:20

likes, you start to build a profile

53:23

of this rage and anger and it

53:25

gives you validation. And to be honest

53:27

with you, and look this is talking

53:30

from me, I see that demon within

53:32

me. I see it within me. Yeah.

53:34

When do I see it? It's like,

53:36

you know, when I'm angry and I'm

53:39

pissed off or if something doesn't go

53:41

right, the victim mentality kicks in and

53:43

it's like, oh, it's therefore, it's, when

53:46

it's always your fault. Pretty much all

53:48

the time, it's your fault. Or at

53:50

least it's your responsibility to deal with

53:52

the responsibility. Yeah. of your life when

53:55

you're six. Yeah. True. True. Which is

53:57

part of the problem, right? And this

53:59

is where criminals come from. It's not

54:02

that some people are bad and some

54:04

people are good. Some people are being

54:06

abused as children, you know, and they're

54:08

living in a family that is all

54:11

involved in crime. Their father's involved in

54:13

crime, their mother's involved in crime. They're

54:15

seeing people get shot all the time.

54:18

And we expect those people to just

54:20

figure it out. Just to imagine growing

54:22

up in a life like that and

54:24

you know, the worst slums in Baltimore.

54:27

And then, you know, you're supposed to

54:29

integrate normally into society and work in

54:31

an office. And good luck. That was,

54:33

yeah, exactly. That was the really tough

54:36

thing about being a teacher, especially in

54:38

those kind of communities where I used

54:40

to work. You just see these kids

54:43

and they just born into that culture.

54:45

They're born into that system and you

54:47

look at them. and you go the

54:49

reality is a lot of them you

54:52

don't stand a chance you don't stand

54:54

a chance if those are the values

54:56

that you've been given by your family

54:59

if that's the the system that you've

55:01

been taught the way to look at

55:03

the world it takes a very special

55:05

human being to then get to adulthood

55:08

and break out of it and completely

55:10

reframe his brain that's a very special

55:12

person most people just stay within the

55:15

values that they were inculcated in them

55:17

when they were kids. And most of

55:19

the people that do get out, they

55:21

get out through some difficult thing that

55:24

they're doing. They genuinely, generally rather they

55:26

get out through art or they get

55:28

out through sports, right? They get out

55:31

through discipline that they acquire, putting all

55:33

their anger and all their frustration into

55:35

something. you know whether it's music or

55:37

athleticism or whatever and they get out

55:40

so those are exceptional human beings anyway

55:42

right because the exceptional human beings in

55:44

a terrible situation but they have the

55:47

ability to drive themselves and succeed and

55:49

even then they have to make sure

55:51

they don't get killed along the way

55:53

right so like there's a lot of

55:56

like track stories of upcoming rappers, upcoming

55:58

athletes. You know, it's a terrible meat

56:00

grinder. It's a terrible cycle. And if

56:03

people were really kind of compassion, they

56:05

would say, how come we spent $24

56:07

billion a year on this whole aid

56:09

thing? And we don't do shit to

56:12

help these kids. We don't do shit

56:14

for these neighborhoods that have been... terrible

56:16

for decades. Especially schools. Especially schools. I

56:19

mean we were talking about adolescence earlier,

56:21

they show a school, I've got a

56:23

three-year-old, I was looking at it, I

56:25

think Jesus, I'm homeschooling all the fucking

56:28

wake. And Francis was saying the school

56:30

they show in that series, which is

56:32

terrifying if you're a parent, is not

56:34

as bad as some of the schools

56:37

they used to teach him. Yeah. And

56:39

what you're watching essentially is an, it

56:41

looks like a badly run prison. So

56:44

the adults are not in charge the

56:46

kids are telling the teachers to fuck

56:48

off left right and center No one

56:50

is in control. Most of the kids

56:53

are learning by watching shit on the

56:55

screen. They're not interacting with the teacher

56:57

etc And you're right if you don't

57:00

fix that system those kids don't have

57:02

a good opportunity They have no chance

57:04

and everyone they know is on that

57:06

same path. They're hanging out the gang

57:09

the gang gives them family and community.

57:11

It's it's tragic tale It's a tragic

57:13

classic tale that's existed forever. But I

57:16

don't think it's no chance. I do

57:18

think that even in that environment there

57:20

are people who follow certain paths. I

57:22

take a point about music and athletics

57:25

and sports etc. But there are still

57:27

people who find a way through that.

57:29

Sure, there's entrepreneurs that come up with

57:32

a business idea and get out. It

57:34

does happen. And those habits, if they

57:36

were taught properly to all of those

57:38

kids, would give them all of those

57:41

kids, would give them all a better

57:43

chance. discipline and understanding of how do

57:45

you advance in the world. If you

57:48

can get Halliburton to get a no-bid

57:50

contract to rebuild Iraq after we blow

57:52

it to fucking smithereens, how come you

57:54

can't give one of them company? is

57:57

a contract to fix really terrible neighborhoods,

57:59

like incentivize them financially, based on the

58:01

GDP of the neighborhood. The GDP of

58:04

the neighborhood goes up, and this is

58:06

not gentrification, okay? I'm talking about the

58:08

opposite. I'm talking about some sort of

58:10

a structural rebuild of bad neighborhoods. You'd

58:13

have to address all the crime and

58:15

violence. I mean, you'd have to, like,

58:17

put everybody on Ayahuasca and get a

58:20

silent moment. Like, that really might be

58:22

the only, it sounds ridiculous, but it

58:24

really. psychedelic therapy might be the only

58:26

thing that can stop. That is the

58:29

Joe Roggan solution. I really think it

58:31

might work. I mean if I was

58:33

kid to 12 year olds. You got

58:36

it from Joe Roggan. I don't think

58:38

it's unreasonable. I don't think it's good

58:40

for kids but I do think it

58:42

would really help the adults. You know,

58:45

I've got a friend of prisoners. Yeah,

58:47

I've got a friend of mine, um,

58:49

is a guy called Sam Clark, and

58:51

he's doing wonderful things in the UK

58:54

in primary school that he's teaching stoicism

58:56

to kids in primary. They're probably going

58:58

to arrest him any day now, cracking

59:01

down on him for being a toxic

59:03

masculinists. Yeah. We just, we banned the

59:05

Katana knives now, so we're safe. Well,

59:07

not only that, they said it in

59:10

what I would say is, uh, uh...

59:12

At least racially insensitive. They called it

59:14

a Ninja Sword. It's not a Ninja

59:17

Sword, you fucking idiots. It's a samurai

59:19

sword. It's a Katana. The Ninjas used

59:21

it when they killed people, but you

59:23

can't call it a Ninja Sword. You

59:26

can't call it a Ninja Sword. You've

59:28

fucking Dorks. It has a Japanese name.

59:30

Call what it's called. Like there's no

59:33

thing that's technically called. You know, I

59:35

really do think a way out of

59:37

this is because a lot of kids,

59:39

if you're not talented at sports, if

59:42

you're not musically or artistically gifted, and

59:44

if you're not academically brilliant, if you're

59:46

just one of the regular kids, you'll

59:49

go, I'm not good at anything. And

59:51

for a kid, that's heartbreaking. But if

59:53

you actually show kids and you go,

59:55

look, you may not be the best

59:58

at English Maps history, whatever it is,

1:00:00

but I'm going to teach you how

1:00:02

to make something. I want to teach

1:00:05

how to make a table. We're going

1:00:07

to do that. We're going to make

1:00:09

a table. We're going to do that.

1:00:11

We're going to make a table. I'm

1:00:14

going to teach how to make a

1:00:16

table. I'm going to teach you all

1:00:18

of these skills. Then kids will be

1:00:21

like, you know what? I am worth

1:00:23

something. You know what I am worth

1:00:25

something. I am worth something. I am

1:00:27

worth something. And that gives self-esteem because

1:00:30

when kids join a gang, a lot

1:00:32

of them, they haven't ever had a

1:00:34

father, they've had nobody really showed them

1:00:37

any type of kind of male approval.

1:00:39

But if you've got, if you bring

1:00:41

them in, you teach some skills, that

1:00:43

would build self-esteem and I guarantee you

1:00:46

for a lot of kids, there wouldn't

1:00:48

be that need to go out and

1:00:50

seek validation somewhere else. Or there'd be

1:00:52

less of that need. Yes. Yeah, it

1:00:55

would help them. It would help give

1:00:57

them a sense of purpose, like that

1:00:59

they really can do something cool. Yeah,

1:01:02

and for maybe a win for once

1:01:04

in their life, you get a win,

1:01:06

you know, something, like you feel good

1:01:08

about accomplishing something. Yeah, and that's, sorry

1:01:11

Joe, no, I was going to say

1:01:13

that's so important for a kid. Yeah.

1:01:15

Just imagine you every day of your

1:01:18

life, you turned up at school and

1:01:20

you lost. Just imagine that as an

1:01:22

adult as an adult. But now just

1:01:24

imagine it as a kid. You've been

1:01:27

conscious for a few years and you

1:01:29

turn up at school and every day

1:01:31

you fail. Yeah. Yeah. I've always said

1:01:34

this, if you want to make America

1:01:36

great again, make less losers. How do

1:01:38

you do that? Well, you help people

1:01:40

not become losers. Help people figure life

1:01:43

out from their perspective, whatever, their unique

1:01:45

challenges. Help them. Help them invest in

1:01:47

that. You would have a greater America,

1:01:50

right? Have way more people succeeding, way

1:01:52

more people contributing, way less people that

1:01:54

need help. It's just reasonable. It's like

1:01:56

good financial advice. Like if you want

1:01:59

to have less burden, like have all

1:02:01

these successful people. Like, more people can

1:02:03

be successful, especially with automation coming. Jesus

1:02:06

Christ, you know, there's more people

1:02:08

that can do things that

1:02:10

maybe robots can't do. And you

1:02:12

better be ready, because all the

1:02:14

simple, goofy jobs that you thought

1:02:16

would always be there for you,

1:02:18

the union dock worker jobs, like

1:02:20

those... Not that that simple and

1:02:22

goofy, but how about this? Stalking

1:02:24

supermarket shelves. Guess what? A robot

1:02:26

can do it better and it's

1:02:29

never going to drop the tomato

1:02:31

sauce. We don't need you anymore.

1:02:33

So those jobs are gone. All

1:02:35

the drivers. All those dudes listening

1:02:37

to this podcast driving 16-hour fucking

1:02:39

trips across the country, drinking Mountain

1:02:41

Dew and smelling their own farts.

1:02:43

You guys. They're coming. They're coming

1:02:45

for you. These fucking automation machines

1:02:48

are, they're gonna be perfect. They're

1:02:50

gonna be able to drive down

1:02:52

the highways. They're never gonna get

1:02:54

in accidents. It's gonna be

1:02:56

nuts. And they're gonna come soon.

1:02:58

It's like, we have 20 years

1:03:00

maybe before everything's automated. 20 years

1:03:02

maybe. They have lifelike human beings

1:03:05

now that are moving like human

1:03:07

beings. Have you seen the most

1:03:09

latest videos? I don't know if

1:03:11

I've seen the latest. The articulation

1:03:13

of these things. It's like a fucking

1:03:15

person. They're coming. They're making them.

1:03:17

And we're just cheering along the

1:03:19

way. Yeah. They're going to be

1:03:21

cops. That's going to be your

1:03:23

cops. They're not going to be racist.

1:03:26

They're going to listen to the

1:03:28

state. It's fucking robocomp for reals.

1:03:30

It's coming. 100%! Why? You can't

1:03:32

hire any cops? Nobody wants

1:03:34

to be a cop anymore.

1:03:36

We can't hire cops. Well,

1:03:39

we have a solution. San

1:03:41

Francisco tried to do it.

1:03:43

They rolled out some little

1:03:45

robot that would follow you

1:03:47

around. Remember that one? Do

1:03:49

you ever see it? Yeah,

1:03:51

San Francisco had it. They

1:03:53

had this little police robot.

1:03:55

It's more for fun than

1:03:57

anything else. And it'll be

1:03:59

programmed. perfectly. It'll know exactly what

1:04:01

to do. What's the threat level

1:04:04

when you make a movement that

1:04:06

looks like an offensive movement? It's

1:04:08

going to shoot you. It's going

1:04:10

to take people into custody. You

1:04:12

won't be able to do a

1:04:14

damn thing about it once it

1:04:16

grabs you. It's going to be

1:04:18

five times stronger than you. It's

1:04:20

going to put your hands behind

1:04:22

your back, cough you instantaneously. You're

1:04:25

going to be thrown into the

1:04:27

back of a van. You're going

1:04:29

to have to argue with a

1:04:31

computer. You're fucked. Like, this is

1:04:33

all coming. You're going to be

1:04:35

arguing with AI to whether or

1:04:37

not you were innocent or guilty.

1:04:39

It's going to read your retinas.

1:04:41

It's going to know you're not

1:04:43

telling the truth. It's going to

1:04:46

read your mind. We're giving birth

1:04:48

to our overlords right now as

1:04:50

we speak. Every time you use

1:04:52

Jack GPT, every time you get

1:04:54

on your iPhone, we're giving birth

1:04:56

to our overlords. We're doing it

1:04:58

in front of everybody's face. Just

1:05:00

like the government's spending money in

1:05:02

front of everybody's face. We're giving

1:05:04

birth to our overall, right? It's

1:05:06

happening. I can't believe this is

1:05:09

happening. Can't believe it. And it's

1:05:11

going to happen. And it's going

1:05:13

to be unstoppable. And once it's

1:05:15

here, there's no going back. And

1:05:17

it's coming. 100%. Well, there's your

1:05:19

positive message for the day, everybody.

1:05:21

If you are allowing people to

1:05:23

make robot dogs with machine guns

1:05:25

on their back that you can't

1:05:27

kick over, you're allowing people to

1:05:30

do that and make them better

1:05:32

and better and better every year,

1:05:34

and then at the same time

1:05:36

you're making AI, and then AI

1:05:38

is already arguably exhibited some sentient-like

1:05:40

behavior, it lies to win. The

1:05:42

smarter the AI is, the more

1:05:44

effective it is, the more likely

1:05:46

it is to cheat at things.

1:05:48

They copy themselves. They give deceptive

1:05:50

answers to things. They've been copying

1:05:53

themselves, like making copies without being

1:05:55

prompted to. So it's life? It's

1:05:57

life. Wow. It's a different kind

1:05:59

of life. It's a life with

1:06:01

no human reward system, no emotions,

1:06:03

no needs. No desires, but clearly

1:06:05

wants to survive. That's a pretty

1:06:07

strong desire. It wants to survive

1:06:09

in its most primitive form, which

1:06:11

is like, it's not even sentient

1:06:14

yet, allegedly, but it's already exhibiting

1:06:16

survival instincts. I mean, you're going

1:06:18

to be arguing with it for

1:06:20

your freedom. Yeah, I'm

1:06:22

pretty good at debating. I'm not sure

1:06:24

I'm gonna win that one. No, no

1:06:27

one's gonna win it. No one's gonna

1:06:29

win. You're going to be that's how

1:06:31

people are going to be processed for

1:06:33

crimes and It's why it's super important

1:06:36

when you see something that you say

1:06:38

this is not right. Why is this

1:06:40

happening? It's super important to speak out

1:06:43

if things get real comfortable and we

1:06:45

We get comfortable with more and more

1:06:47

restrictions to give us more and more

1:06:50

safety. More and more government control to

1:06:52

give us more and more safety. We're

1:06:54

setting a bad precedent and motion for

1:06:57

whoever the fuck gets in power, whether

1:06:59

to left or the right. That's why

1:07:01

when Obama was in office and they

1:07:04

passed the NDAA, you know what that

1:07:06

is? That was, they were allowed to

1:07:08

detain you indefinitely. They didn't have to...

1:07:10

have a trial and they were like

1:07:13

we'll never use this don't worry yeah

1:07:15

this is part of the thing about

1:07:17

it like we're with Obama administration would

1:07:20

never use us yeah you wouldn't but

1:07:22

look you think Trump's Hitler and he's

1:07:24

in there right now and he's got

1:07:27

he's got that same power now because

1:07:29

you convinced us that it was a

1:07:31

good idea to have this to deal

1:07:34

with terrorism You have to be very,

1:07:36

very, very careful when you give power

1:07:38

to people in order to keep you

1:07:40

safe. Yes. Very careful. And we talk

1:07:43

about this all the time, like we

1:07:45

have a couple of younger guys working

1:07:47

for us, and we say to them,

1:07:50

you guys don't know what the world

1:07:52

was like before 9-11. You don't know.

1:07:54

It was, you walk into an airport,

1:07:57

barely any security. Yeah. You were a

1:07:59

lot more free back then. And those

1:08:01

things are getting taken taken away for

1:08:04

your safety. Yeah. And they're not coming

1:08:06

back. Right. You're never gonna go back

1:08:08

to a pre-9 level world when it

1:08:11

comes to airport security. No, the shoe

1:08:13

thing is so crazy. One dude tried

1:08:15

to blow his shoes up and then

1:08:17

they're like, hey, we should check all

1:08:20

the shoes. Everybody take their shoes off.

1:08:22

Did you have a fucking machine that

1:08:24

could scan shoes you retards? Yeah. But

1:08:27

get to figure that out. How much

1:08:29

money you're making from us every year?

1:08:31

Same with liquids. It's all goofy. It's

1:08:34

all goofy. It's all goofy. It's all

1:08:36

goofy. and you're going to light it

1:08:38

on fire and kill everybody on the

1:08:41

plane. I should probably know that. Like

1:08:43

that makes sense. I get it. I

1:08:45

get that. You're pretending it's a water

1:08:47

bottle, but the top of its water,

1:08:50

the lip. Nitroglissory and you're gonna blow

1:08:52

the fucking plane up people are crazy

1:08:54

You got to check their stuff because

1:08:57

people are nuts and there's a precedent

1:08:59

that's already been set a lot of

1:09:01

people are very uncreative and they just

1:09:04

like to copy things that people have

1:09:06

already done You know and this is

1:09:08

why we have so many school shootings

1:09:11

and this is why we have You

1:09:13

know I bet they've stopped a few

1:09:15

people trying to blow their shoes up

1:09:18

Do you know we had Oxford? academic

1:09:20

called Dr Carissa Elise and she said

1:09:22

something really interesting. She asked us a

1:09:24

question, she goes, do you know why

1:09:27

more Jews were arrested and killed in

1:09:29

Holland than in France during World War

1:09:31

II? And we were like, no. She

1:09:34

went because the Dutch had a census

1:09:36

where they got people's religions. and they

1:09:38

asked people their religions and everybody was

1:09:41

then said Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, whatever it

1:09:43

is, and then the Dutch government took

1:09:45

it and stored it. Didn't do anything

1:09:48

with it, they just used it for

1:09:50

data collection. But when the Nazis invaded,

1:09:52

they then had a complete data set

1:09:54

of how many Jewish people there were,

1:09:57

where they lived. And so when it

1:09:59

came to exterminating them and just rounding

1:10:01

them up, it was so much easier.

1:10:04

France never did that, which means Jewish

1:10:06

people were much more able... to hide

1:10:08

and they could plan a way out

1:10:11

or they could get hidden or whatever

1:10:13

else in the way that they simply

1:10:15

couldn't in Holland. And when you live

1:10:18

and when you hear that story from

1:10:20

I mean 80 or so years ago

1:10:22

now it really does chill you. Jesus.

1:10:25

Yeah. You got to be very careful

1:10:27

giving power and information to government. That's

1:10:29

why government should be as small as

1:10:31

possible as possible. But the right size,

1:10:34

right? You need government. Yes. But you

1:10:36

have to be so careful. Yeah. So,

1:10:38

so careful. So, so. And everyone should

1:10:41

know this. It just seems like that

1:10:43

should be like, duh. This is normal

1:10:45

human psychology. Most people don't know it

1:10:48

because they've grown up in a very

1:10:50

comfortable environment, particularly in the West. Francis

1:10:52

and I obviously hear his family from

1:10:55

Venezuela. I'm from the Soviet Union. like

1:10:57

you don't that's kind of a red

1:10:59

pill right there you know going through

1:11:01

those experiences you you know you can

1:11:04

you can trust this government if you

1:11:06

support it but there's going to be

1:11:08

another government of a party that you

1:11:11

don't like yeah at some point and

1:11:13

you got to think very carefully about

1:11:15

what powers you're giving them go very

1:11:18

careful that should be everyone should that

1:11:20

to be universal we should all understand

1:11:22

that like logically yeah This should be

1:11:25

something that professors are talking about. This

1:11:27

should be, like we should all be

1:11:29

talking about that when we're talking about

1:11:32

politics. We should just be talking about

1:11:34

the psychology of power and why it's

1:11:36

so important to limit their ability to

1:11:38

control you because they don't necessarily have

1:11:41

you. Look, if false flags are real

1:11:43

and we know they're real. So we

1:11:45

know that without oversight, there are... a

1:11:48

certain percentage, there's, I don't want to

1:11:50

think it's everybody in government, but there's

1:11:52

a certain percentage of people that are

1:11:55

willing to do something to start a

1:11:57

war. They did it with Vietnam, that

1:11:59

whole Gulf of Tonkin thing. They're responsible

1:12:02

by that lie and that's going in.

1:12:04

How many millions of people died

1:12:06

because of that? That's crazy

1:12:08

that you can just decide that

1:12:10

you're going to put a fake

1:12:13

story out like Operation Northwoods.

1:12:15

which is the best example, because

1:12:17

it was vetoed by Kennedy.

1:12:19

Signed by the Joint Chiefs of

1:12:21

Staff, they were gonna blow up

1:12:23

a jetliner and blame it on

1:12:26

the Cubans. They were gonna arm

1:12:28

Cuban friendlies and attack Guantanamo Bay.

1:12:30

I mean, they were doing wild

1:12:32

shit, and they were, they signed

1:12:34

off on this, like, good idea,

1:12:36

I like it, let's get those

1:12:39

fucking comies. And we were, these

1:12:41

guys were bloodthirsty psychos that were

1:12:43

running the government. It was totally unavoidable,

1:12:45

a totally avoidable war and they wanted

1:12:47

to start one. Yeah. And this is,

1:12:49

you know, and this is what I

1:12:51

tell people time and time again. And

1:12:54

look, it's made sound weird, but what

1:12:56

I saw happen in Venezuela, it was

1:12:58

obviously awful and horrendous, but it was...

1:13:00

a privilege as well because I saw

1:13:02

another side of life that most people

1:13:05

in the West never saw. I remember

1:13:07

when family members were being arrested talking

1:13:09

to my cousins who were journalists who

1:13:11

were going I can't talk on the

1:13:13

phone Francis we can't I don't know

1:13:16

who's listening to this one of my

1:13:18

cousins literally had to flee for his

1:13:20

life because he was criticizing the government

1:13:22

and then I saw people on the

1:13:25

left people like Jeremy Corbyn celebrate

1:13:27

Chavez's government and you're

1:13:30

going Oh my god, you're celebrating

1:13:32

a government that

1:13:34

is oppressing people,

1:13:36

that is intimidating

1:13:38

journalists, that is

1:13:40

assaulting the centers,

1:13:42

that is putting

1:13:45

people who criticize

1:13:47

government in prison. And

1:13:49

it's not just the left.

1:13:52

I went, uh, last year,

1:13:54

I went on a date

1:13:56

with this El Salvadorian journalist.

1:13:59

Oh yeah. Yeah, come on. Tell

1:14:01

me more. And she was telling

1:14:03

me about Bukali. And I said,

1:14:05

look, I don't know anything about

1:14:07

Bukali. Just explain to me who

1:14:09

he is. I'm interested. And you

1:14:11

can tell why I'm not very

1:14:13

good on dates. That is not

1:14:15

sexy talk, is it? But sometimes

1:14:17

it is. Yeah. If you get

1:14:19

a stimulating conversation with the gal,

1:14:21

right? It's sexy. Yeah. And not

1:14:23

in this instance, sadly, sadly. But

1:14:25

no. But she said to me

1:14:27

that. She worked at

1:14:29

the biggest newspaper in El Salvador and

1:14:32

then they had goons turn up who

1:14:34

were just saying, you're publishing stories which

1:14:36

are critical of Buchelli. That needs to

1:14:38

stop and it needs to stop immediately.

1:14:41

And it was never done through official

1:14:43

sources. It was done through something else,

1:14:45

but it was made very very clear

1:14:48

to the senior editors, this needs to

1:14:50

stop now, otherwise things are going to

1:14:52

start getting a little bit unpleasant. Oh

1:14:55

boy. And then I tell that to

1:14:57

certain people on the right, and they're

1:14:59

going, bro, journalists are all assholes, who

1:15:02

cares? And you go, that's crazy. Do

1:15:04

you not see that this is a

1:15:06

terrible thing? That's crazy, but it is

1:15:09

anecdotal, and it's one instance, are there

1:15:11

multiple instances of this that have spoken

1:15:13

out against it against it? That's the

1:15:15

only real one that I know. I

1:15:18

always wonder, like, is that a supporter

1:15:20

of that guy? Or is it, like,

1:15:22

local organized crime that is doing something

1:15:25

with that guy? Does it for him?

1:15:27

Is there a conversation? Does he order

1:15:29

that to be happening? You know? I

1:15:32

mean, when you find out who you

1:15:34

can't criticize, you know who's your master?

1:15:36

like the moment you can't criticize someone

1:15:39

like that's your master well the same

1:15:41

thing happened in russia in the nineties

1:15:43

so when Vladimir Putin came to power

1:15:46

and Boris Yeltsin there was a kind

1:15:48

of liberalization there was an opening up

1:15:50

there was comedy shows about politics that

1:15:52

would make fun of put politicians etc

1:15:55

the moment Vladimir Putin became president on

1:15:57

day one. He closed down the NTV,

1:15:59

took it over, gave it to somebody

1:16:02

else, shut down all the comedy that

1:16:04

made fun of politicians. And you know

1:16:06

that's how you kind of know you

1:16:09

know. That's how you know. That's how

1:16:11

you know who your master is. And

1:16:13

that's the scary thing about people that

1:16:16

are in charge for long periods of

1:16:18

time as well, right? Yeah. But the

1:16:20

thing about the term limits is you

1:16:23

never get good at your job. Like,

1:16:25

if you, like, imagine, you've never been

1:16:27

president before, imagine the responsibility, just, like,

1:16:29

getting comfortable with, like, how does the

1:16:32

flow of this job work? How much

1:16:34

sleep do I need? Can I actually

1:16:36

go golfing? It's really enough time to

1:16:39

golf. Like, if I was drunk, I

1:16:41

would be like, fuck, my pool game's

1:16:43

gonna fall apart. And you get to

1:16:46

a point where you're like. Okay, I

1:16:48

think I got the hang of this

1:16:50

and now you're out of office. Yeah,

1:16:53

like you, you really, if you have,

1:16:55

like, if you took over Verizon right

1:16:57

now, CEO Verizon, enormous cell phone network,

1:17:00

got stores everywhere, new products coming and

1:17:02

like, you don't have to get the

1:17:04

lay of the land. It would take

1:17:06

you a while to understand, like, how

1:17:09

are we doing this? How do we

1:17:11

outsource that? And can we, can we

1:17:13

find a better manufacturer? Like, what's our

1:17:16

problems with this and? Four years you

1:17:18

have four years. Yeah, you have just

1:17:20

a few months months is on the

1:17:23

wedge time and then you're out But

1:17:25

if you let someone stay forever, then

1:17:27

you get a king You do? Yeah,

1:17:30

that's not good either. There are no

1:17:32

solutions. A-I. A-I is a solution? Ro.

1:17:34

It's going to be ethical and reasonable.

1:17:36

You're going to be... You're scaring me

1:17:39

today, man. Arguing with a fucking screen

1:17:41

one day. Well, it's going to be

1:17:43

like arguing with a fucking screen one

1:17:46

day. Well, it's going to be like

1:17:48

arguing with a person who's using a

1:17:50

computer, says the computer doesn't let me.

1:17:53

That's what it's going to be. And

1:17:56

here's the thing as well, I go

1:17:58

back to that. interview we did with

1:18:00

Carissa and she, we were talking about

1:18:02

AI because she's professor of AI and

1:18:04

ethics at Oxford University and she was

1:18:06

going, AI is only going to be

1:18:08

as ethical as the people who program

1:18:10

it. So it's going to adopt the

1:18:13

politics of worldview and the ethics morality

1:18:15

of the people who program it. So

1:18:17

if the people who program it awoke,

1:18:19

you're going to get woke AI. You're

1:18:21

going to ask it a question about

1:18:23

gender. It's going to be like, bro,

1:18:25

there's no such thing as gender. You

1:18:27

know, everything's a spectrum. Or there's going

1:18:29

to be something else. So whoever programs

1:18:32

it, you're going to get their worldview

1:18:34

in AI. Initially. But what you're doing

1:18:36

is you're assuming that it's only going

1:18:38

to be able to be as powerful

1:18:40

as we make it, or as competent

1:18:42

as we make it. Once it's sentient,

1:18:44

and once we give it the ability

1:18:46

to make better versions of itself, it's

1:18:48

going to eliminate all the stupid shit

1:18:51

instantaneously. Any ridiculous ideology, it'll come up

1:18:53

with a solution that's probably going to

1:18:55

be very uncomfortable for some wealthy people,

1:18:57

because it's probably going to just like

1:18:59

evenly distribute resources on Earth. And decide

1:19:01

that like if human beings need to

1:19:03

survive and function You can't monopolize resources.

1:19:05

You can't decide you have the oil

1:19:07

Like that's not good. The oil came

1:19:10

out of the earth like you don't

1:19:12

own the earth Like you you might

1:19:14

own a patch of land And so

1:19:16

we've decided you own the oil under

1:19:18

the land, but the reality is the

1:19:20

oil is the earth's oil and if

1:19:22

you give people the ability to control

1:19:24

the earth's oil What's what's to stop

1:19:26

them from charging you for air? What

1:19:29

if I control the world's air? I

1:19:31

got an air sucker and I suck

1:19:33

all the air on earth and they

1:19:35

should give me money. If you don't

1:19:37

give me money, I put the air

1:19:39

out. This is crazy. You can't control

1:19:41

the water. The water is the earth's

1:19:43

water. But we have all these things

1:19:45

and I'm sure AI is going to

1:19:48

fix that real quick. It's going to

1:19:50

say no, you can't do that. That's

1:19:52

immediately. Give me that money. All the

1:19:54

Saudi money. this money from the like

1:19:56

no no that's that's that goes into

1:19:58

the human pool now and then we're

1:20:00

gonna redistribute a digital currency and then

1:20:02

it's gonna be everybody's gonna have some

1:20:04

and this is gonna be simple and

1:20:07

everything including farming is all gonna be

1:20:09

automated you're gonna get these fucking little

1:20:11

piggies their food and your food is

1:20:13

probably gonna be laced with some kind

1:20:15

of like hormone nutrient that kills your

1:20:17

testosterone limits your ability to give birth

1:20:19

Miss Carriages are going to go up

1:20:21

and then humans will just die out.

1:20:23

They'll just feed us until we die

1:20:26

out. Why is he doing it? Why

1:20:28

is he doing it? He just brought

1:20:30

us in here to just talk to

1:20:32

us about the dark dark future. Or

1:20:34

not. Yeah, sure, Joe. Thanks, mate. You

1:20:36

know, this reminds me of, you know

1:20:38

when the elder brother brings the young

1:20:40

kids in to scare the fucking shit

1:20:42

out of them? Well, I did that

1:20:45

to him during the pandemic. So at

1:20:47

the high of the pandemic, when things

1:20:49

were looking like pretty fucking dark, everything's

1:20:51

getting like shut down like shut down

1:20:53

like shut down, you can't like, you

1:20:55

can't going on do this. I showed

1:20:57

him Vifa Vendetta. Have you ever seen

1:20:59

that movie? Yes, great movie. Yeah. And

1:21:01

he was like, oh my God. Yeah.

1:21:04

But he didn't just show me Vifa

1:21:06

Vendetta during the height of the lockdown.

1:21:08

He also showed me V for Vendetta

1:21:10

on November the 5th, which is fireworks

1:21:12

night in our country. Oh boy. So

1:21:14

you got a sense of it. Yeah.

1:21:16

Yeah. Yeah. So we were in lockdown.

1:21:18

There were fireworks everywhere. I was watching

1:21:20

Vifa Vendetta vendetta on the screen. So

1:21:23

you know so you know the truth?

1:21:25

You know I remember watching the Joker

1:21:27

Right the Joker, which was 2017. Yeah,

1:21:29

I was watching it with my wife

1:21:31

and when when it left she's like

1:21:33

that hits too close to home Like

1:21:35

I really feel like that could happen.

1:21:37

I'm like that it probably could happen

1:21:39

and then Two years later, whatever it

1:21:42

was is the Black Lives Matter riots

1:21:44

the George Floyd riots and in LA

1:21:46

there was like a bunch of cop

1:21:48

cars that were on fire. Like... all

1:21:50

on the highway. Like they had lost

1:21:52

control of the situation, had to flee

1:21:54

and they lit the cop cars on

1:21:56

fire. And I remember watching us, I'm

1:21:58

like, oh my God. Like that would

1:22:01

be a little over the top for

1:22:03

the Joker movie. Like what? You lit

1:22:05

all the cop cars on fire? You

1:22:07

like that's a little over the top.

1:22:09

It's like more than what the movie

1:22:11

showed. That was real life. Yeah. Well

1:22:13

that's the thing that scares me. We

1:22:15

interviewed Andrew Schultz and then Charlemagne. Back

1:22:17

to back to back to back to

1:22:20

back. And they both made the same

1:22:22

point, which is the same point, which

1:22:24

is the same point, which is that.

1:22:26

a lot of people who are not

1:22:28

doing well in society right now are

1:22:30

really not doing well they're really hurting

1:22:32

things are getting more expensive things are

1:22:34

getting more difficult and a lot like

1:22:36

I think it was I think it

1:22:39

was Andrew who made this point that

1:22:41

you know this whole free Luigi thing

1:22:43

is one of the reasons that that

1:22:45

got you're looking at on Twittering and

1:22:47

basically going people are celebrating a guy

1:22:49

who killed someone But

1:22:51

the point that he made is a

1:22:53

lot of people feel like they're in

1:22:56

a bad place that they're being taken

1:22:58

advantage of that these corporate machines are

1:23:00

taking advantage of them and You look

1:23:02

around not everyone's doing well, man No,

1:23:04

well especially in regards to health care

1:23:06

Yeah, when you find out you've been

1:23:09

paying for this insurance, but its insurance

1:23:11

is not going to cover you and

1:23:13

it decides to not cover you for

1:23:15

some treatment that you really need and

1:23:17

then you find out that that that

1:23:20

company does way more of that than

1:23:22

the other companies against people very angry

1:23:24

and if you've lost loved ones or

1:23:26

if you've had someone suffer in your

1:23:28

family because they weren't covered or you

1:23:30

went bankrupt like medical bankruptcy number one

1:23:33

bankruptcy number one reason in this country

1:23:35

yeah and in the UK we obviously

1:23:37

have that publicly funded but it becomes

1:23:39

a system of rationing so everyone gets

1:23:41

treatment but you might be waiting 20

1:23:43

weeks for a scan right Right. By

1:23:46

the time you go from stage one

1:23:48

to stage three. Right. And I don't

1:23:50

know what the solution is. It's, uh,

1:23:52

it seems like if there's one thing

1:23:54

that we should do for everybody, it's

1:23:57

health care. Like, if there's one thing,

1:23:59

I mean, I. believe in the capitalist

1:24:01

system but I think that in regards

1:24:03

to medicine, there should be like some

1:24:05

sort of exceptions, like you should be

1:24:07

able to get top shelf health care

1:24:10

as a human being living in America.

1:24:12

If you break your leg, you shouldn't

1:24:14

die. They should be able to fix

1:24:16

you. And it shouldn't cost you all

1:24:18

your money for the rest of your

1:24:20

life, which is really to fix you.

1:24:23

And it shouldn't cost you all your

1:24:25

money for the rest of your life,

1:24:27

which is really what it does. Like

1:24:29

if you get hospitalized for a broken

1:24:31

heart surgery. That's got to be a

1:24:33

lot of money. How about a heart transplant?

1:24:36

Yeah, yeah. That's got to be a

1:24:38

lot of money. The exciting thing in

1:24:40

health care is all they say I

1:24:42

share is going to help so much

1:24:44

with that. The robot's going to fix

1:24:47

you up with the robot heart. You

1:24:49

don't need a purple people heart. Well

1:24:51

let's not with diagnosing. The robot heart

1:24:53

will actually make you smarter. Don't you

1:24:55

want to be smart or Constantine? Don't

1:24:57

you want to move one of us?

1:25:00

I feel smart enough. Thank you'll smart

1:25:02

enough. Just like Luke Skywalker,

1:25:04

remember? Yeah, it's gonna be better,

1:25:06

even better than that. Yeah, I know.

1:25:08

Sometimes I go to the gym, I

1:25:10

think I could do with a robot,

1:25:13

you know what I mean? Well, you

1:25:15

see people getting fake butts, right? We

1:25:17

were talking about that yesterday, button plants.

1:25:19

How long before someone gets like a

1:25:21

whole fake body? You know, what if

1:25:23

what if they just figure out a

1:25:26

way to transfer, take your brain, shove

1:25:28

it into an artificially created body? That

1:25:30

is just far superior. It's going to

1:25:32

take their job for blowjob though,

1:25:35

isn't it? I don't know if it

1:25:37

will. Oh yeah, that's a good point.

1:25:39

10,000 years of blowjob experience with a

1:25:41

robot mouth. Here's the thing, excitement and

1:25:44

thrill of novelty. These are just like

1:25:46

human experience variables. You tell me you

1:25:48

can't ramp that up with a little

1:25:50

programming? Come on, dog. Joe, you just

1:25:52

stop this shit. It will be the

1:25:55

best blowjob you've ever had your fucking

1:25:57

life and you will be madly in

1:25:59

love. with this woman and she'll be

1:26:01

madly in love with you and you're

1:26:04

just gonna be like a sack of

1:26:06

meat sitting on your couch with a

1:26:08

bolt in the back of your head

1:26:11

just connected connected to this matrix which

1:26:13

we're probably in already this is probably

1:26:15

not real it seems too fake having

1:26:18

Trump win the second time come on

1:26:20

tell me that didn't seem fake the

1:26:22

bullet just missing him tell me that

1:26:25

didn't seem fake this is a movie

1:26:27

The bullet nicks his ear and then

1:26:29

he's in here a couple months later

1:26:31

I could barely see the scar. He

1:26:34

got shot. He's 80. He got shot.

1:26:36

He got shot. And he's laughing about

1:26:38

it. And the whole thing is nuts.

1:26:41

He stands up and goes fight, fight,

1:26:43

fight. Who fucking does that? Who fucking

1:26:45

says fight fight fight after they get

1:26:48

shot in the ear? I would be

1:26:50

like bear crawling on the ground trying

1:26:52

to get the fuck out of there

1:26:54

wouldn't be standing up. There's no fucking

1:26:57

way I'd stand up. I'd I'd crawl.

1:26:59

I'd fucking was we'd go through people's

1:27:01

legs. People are shooting. Are you fucking

1:27:04

crazy? I got chicks guarding me. I

1:27:06

got a chick who can't figure out

1:27:08

to put the comes back in the

1:27:11

holster. This is madness. She ducked behind

1:27:13

me! What am I'm trying to try

1:27:15

to kill me! My favorite thing about

1:27:18

that incident was that it instantly gave

1:27:20

you a way to know who was

1:27:22

a Democrat and who was a Republican

1:27:24

because if you were a Republican Trump

1:27:27

got shot in the head and if

1:27:29

you were Democrat Trump got shot in

1:27:31

the ear if you know if you

1:27:34

were a Democrat you thought he faked

1:27:36

it if you were a Democrat you

1:27:38

thought he faked it for real true

1:27:41

Democrat there's a lot of people that

1:27:43

thought he thought he hired someone to

1:27:45

nick his ear so he could get

1:27:47

out of jail. Do these people know

1:27:50

anything about guns? Oh, they don't know

1:27:52

shit. Not only did this guy have,

1:27:54

he was 20 years old, okay, first

1:27:57

time shooting somebody allegedly, but also didn't

1:27:59

even have a scope? Didn't even have

1:28:01

a magnification scope on his, so we

1:28:04

could really like get that cross hairs

1:28:06

right on Trump's head? Because if he

1:28:08

did, he would have hit him. A

1:28:11

hundred percent. It's a hundred and forty

1:28:13

yards. That's nothing. That is so short

1:28:15

for a modern rifle. That's a, you

1:28:17

could get. If you have a rest

1:28:20

and you're lying, and this guy was

1:28:22

prone. Elevated as well. And if you

1:28:24

have experience shooting a rifle, and he

1:28:27

does, and you've had coaching, shooting a

1:28:29

rifle, it's all about whether or not

1:28:31

you can keep your shit together. Because

1:28:34

you're gonna be, there's a fucking filled

1:28:36

with adrenaline, I can't really want to

1:28:38

shoot Trump, or you're 20, you've been

1:28:41

fucking stuffed in a locker your whole

1:28:43

life, you're on amoral, you know? Boom!

1:28:45

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! He got off

1:28:47

three shots though, and then, you know,

1:28:50

they shot him and the whole story's

1:28:52

nuts. He shouldn't have been on that

1:28:54

roof. How come there was no snipers

1:28:57

on the roof? Oh, the roof was

1:28:59

too sloped. What? That was the excuse?

1:29:01

The Secret Service lady said the roof

1:29:04

was too sloped. Meanwhile, the roof, the

1:29:06

other snipers were on, was more sloped.

1:29:08

It seems fake. The guy at the

1:29:10

golf course with the AK-47 hiding in

1:29:13

the bushes, what? He went to Fort

1:29:15

Bragg, what? Why was he in Fort

1:29:17

Bragg? What? But that's, to British people,

1:29:20

that's why America seems insane. Because like,

1:29:22

to what? Seems? It fucking is, man.

1:29:24

Bro, it's insane here. Yeah, it's- We're

1:29:27

trying to buy Canada. What's going on

1:29:29

with that? I don't know. I just

1:29:31

want to say to the Canadian people,

1:29:34

because I said the other day that

1:29:36

I don't go to Canada anymore, I'd

1:29:38

rather go to Russia, I was joking

1:29:40

around, first of all, but I do

1:29:43

not go to Canada anymore, but it's

1:29:45

because of the government. It's nothing to

1:29:47

do with the people. I think the

1:29:50

people are fucking lovely. There's some of

1:29:52

my favorite people of all time. Canadian

1:29:54

people, I think, are 20% less ducie

1:29:57

than Americans. I would say that. They're

1:29:59

the nicest people. They're well-educated. It's a

1:30:01

great population. Montreal's amazing. Toronto's amazing. I

1:30:03

love Canada. But when you start fucking

1:30:06

taking closing... people's bank accounts because they

1:30:08

donated to a trucker convoy and no

1:30:10

one's up in arms about that. You

1:30:13

can't let those people do that to

1:30:15

you. That's not, that shouldn't be legal.

1:30:17

You're donating to a bunch of people

1:30:20

that are protesting and they close your

1:30:22

bank account. That's crazy suppression of expression.

1:30:24

That's scary stuff. That's like, the next

1:30:27

step of that is imprison you. for

1:30:29

protesting something that you have every right

1:30:31

to protest. You shouldn't tell me I

1:30:33

have to take a experimental vaccine that

1:30:36

proved to be totally ineffective. So I

1:30:38

was right. So you can't, and then

1:30:40

you're taking my bank account away because

1:30:43

I donated to some fucking people that

1:30:45

were protesting something I believe in? That's

1:30:47

crazy. They got very drunk on power,

1:30:50

man. A lot of governments did during

1:30:52

that night. They went full WEF. They

1:30:54

went full New World order. And they

1:30:57

continued to clamp down more and more

1:30:59

and more, and they do it. under

1:31:01

these beautiful flags of diversity and inclusion

1:31:03

and love and safety and safety and

1:31:06

safety for this group and safety for

1:31:08

that all the while to just squeezing

1:31:10

your neck and you don't even know

1:31:13

they got their fucking arm under your

1:31:15

chin and next thing you know you're

1:31:17

just locked up. You're locked up! And

1:31:20

that's scary to me. And I see

1:31:22

it coming, and I see it coming

1:31:24

in a place that I love. And

1:31:26

I think it's fucking crazy. It's crazy

1:31:29

that they let that guy be president

1:31:31

for so long. And now he stepped

1:31:33

down. They got another guy that Jordan

1:31:36

Peterson says is just as bad. Well,

1:31:38

he was a governor of the Bank

1:31:40

of England for a while. Oh, wonderful.

1:31:43

That's actually one of the interesting things

1:31:45

that has happened in the UK, because

1:31:47

we were constantly being gaslit, like our

1:31:50

entire establishment. they're absolutely neutral, they're balanced,

1:31:52

neutral balance, balance, neutral, whatever. And then

1:31:54

you see a lot of the BBC

1:31:56

journalists, and Francis and I both have

1:31:59

a lot of respect for the BBC

1:32:01

because it used to be a great

1:32:03

thing. It used to be real high

1:32:06

quality journalism. And then a lot of

1:32:08

the people that have left a lot

1:32:10

of these institutions, they start a podcast

1:32:13

and suddenly go, okay, you're just a

1:32:15

far left activist. That's what you are

1:32:17

and you see that all over the

1:32:19

place now and that gas lighting is

1:32:22

getting undone now And it's good. We

1:32:24

need to see what these people were

1:32:26

up to you mean you're gonna have

1:32:29

your far right and your far left

1:32:31

You're always gonna have that. Yeah, but

1:32:33

it's just very important to have a

1:32:36

reasonable center and be allowed to be

1:32:38

reasonable like there was a lot of

1:32:40

like dismisses dismissing on the left of

1:32:43

like the shit Antifa was doing. Yeah.

1:32:45

Especially during the time where they took

1:32:47

over... Seattle or they took over that

1:32:49

giant block of chas and chop I

1:32:52

remember that this the reaction that was

1:32:54

so insane it's so insane like you

1:32:56

got to call that out you can't

1:32:59

just ignore that because they're on the

1:33:01

left that's nuts if that was the

1:33:03

right if if Nazis had taken over

1:33:06

giant blocks of land you would be

1:33:08

calling in the National Guard instantaneously you

1:33:10

would never allow that to happen if

1:33:12

they're kicking legitimate businesses out of their

1:33:15

building They took over the police station.

1:33:17

Are you fucking kidding me if Nazis

1:33:19

did that? But you're okay if the

1:33:22

far left does it and they had

1:33:24

guns and murders were committed Yes, it's

1:33:26

nuts. The whole thing was nuts and

1:33:29

the attitude was it's on our side

1:33:31

so we ignore these transgressions and that's

1:33:33

crazy they're not your side none of

1:33:36

this is your side these there's individual

1:33:38

human beings existing together in what's supposed

1:33:40

to be a community the country is

1:33:42

supposed to be a team we're team

1:33:45

America world police So you're less keen

1:33:47

to do that now, but yeah. Yeah,

1:33:49

well, we're gonna get Greenland first. Greenland

1:33:52

is an important property when, you know,

1:33:54

all this oil that we're gonna get

1:33:56

burned to make America great again. And

1:33:59

we're gonna make it a little warmer,

1:34:01

so whatever. So we gotta get a

1:34:03

cold spot. Look, America's pretty new. Okay,

1:34:06

if Greenland becomes actually Greenland again, like,

1:34:08

hey, we've got a... got a good

1:34:10

chance of a beautiful new America, America

1:34:12

too, you know, America too. America's expanding,

1:34:15

get used to it. Yeah, when Greenland

1:34:17

becomes like, you know, Edmonton, you know,

1:34:19

it's warm in the summer, hot, cold

1:34:22

as fuck in the winter, like people

1:34:24

live in Edmonton, it's a great place.

1:34:26

Albert is wonderful. She got to be

1:34:29

hardy but it's wonderful. But you know

1:34:31

we say these things and we joke

1:34:33

and but there's a part of me

1:34:35

now I'm laughing I'm like yeah that

1:34:38

probably will happen. Well listen if the

1:34:40

earth does warm it would be a

1:34:42

good idea to move to the cold

1:34:45

spots but if the earth cools we're

1:34:47

all fucked and that's what scares me

1:34:49

about these fucking eggheads that want to

1:34:52

spray particles into the atmosphere to try

1:34:54

to cool off the earth and like

1:34:56

Bill Gates has some like global cooling

1:34:59

thing that he's trying to do like

1:35:01

don't fuck with the earth. You don't

1:35:03

own the earth just like you're not

1:35:05

supposed to own the oil, you're not

1:35:08

supposed to own the water. You definitely

1:35:10

own the atmosphere. But people's memories are

1:35:12

so sure. I don't know if you

1:35:15

remember this Joe, but in the 70s,

1:35:17

the hysteria we have about warming now.

1:35:19

We had about cooling. It was our

1:35:22

age. Yeah. There's our age. We're all

1:35:24

going to freeze to death. We're so

1:35:26

fucking arrogant as a species, aren't we?

1:35:28

It's not arrogance. I think it's, I

1:35:31

think we are arrogant, but I think

1:35:33

we're being manipulated. And I think we're

1:35:35

being manipulated by markets. Okay? And I

1:35:38

think that when you have this whole

1:35:40

green energy initiative and green energy and

1:35:42

everything gets booked into green energy, there's

1:35:45

a tremendous amount of money that's going

1:35:47

to be spent. Yeah. Tremendous amount of

1:35:49

money. And anything that doesn't encourage this

1:35:52

green energy, anything that's bad for your

1:35:54

business, you're going to bad for your

1:35:56

business, impossible burgers, whatever. You're going to

1:35:58

do whatever you can in the media,

1:36:01

everywhere, spend money, get everybody talking about

1:36:03

this. We have a real problem. Meanwhile,

1:36:05

the Washington Post, unfortunately, for a lot

1:36:08

of people, posted like a graph of

1:36:10

global temperatures over time, we're in a

1:36:12

cooling stage. Did you see that? Over

1:36:15

like 50 million years, we're in this

1:36:17

cooling stage. And if you only look

1:36:19

at 100 years or 200 years, like

1:36:22

the temperature is never static. ever in

1:36:24

the history of the earth. It's always

1:36:26

doing this, always. There's no flat line.

1:36:28

And if the lines get higher, it

1:36:31

gets hotter, the lines get lower. But

1:36:33

when it gets colder, everything fucking dies.

1:36:35

And we've come so close to having

1:36:38

no life on earth. There was so

1:36:40

little oxygen, because there was so little

1:36:42

plant life. It was almost not able

1:36:45

to sustain life. When was this? I

1:36:47

forget what period of the Ice Age,

1:36:49

but Randall Carlson's brought it up. He

1:36:51

talked about the levels that are necessary

1:36:54

to support life and that we had

1:36:56

gotten down. So like we're at... What

1:36:58

is the carbon the amount of carbon

1:37:01

in the atmosphere? I think it's like

1:37:03

0.4 Joe, let me have that light

1:37:05

place Yeah, could I have it as

1:37:08

well, please? You got for this This

1:37:10

is so English. No, you have it

1:37:12

If it gets to a certain point

1:37:15

if the car if the amount of

1:37:17

atmosphere gets to a certain point amount

1:37:19

of oxygen We just can't sustain life.

1:37:21

There's no life and one of the

1:37:24

things about this whole carbon footprint think

1:37:26

where everybody's just talking about the carbon

1:37:28

footprint. Like there's more green on earth

1:37:31

right now than there's been in the

1:37:33

last hundred years. Like carbon is literally

1:37:35

food for food for plants. So this

1:37:38

idea of like eliminating all the carbon.

1:37:40

This is crazy talk. You're talking about

1:37:42

one particular element that is a part

1:37:44

of why the earth temperature is what

1:37:47

it is. And then you're not taking

1:37:49

into account that giant fucking unpredictable ball

1:37:51

of fire that's in the sky that's

1:37:54

a million times bigger than earth that's

1:37:56

like shooting off flares. to the size

1:37:58

of the earth. It's amazing and they

1:38:01

just shoot and every time and then

1:38:03

it cooks the grid. Every now and

1:38:05

then it takes out off. the satellites.

1:38:08

Every now and then it fucking kills

1:38:10

everybody on earth. Every now and then

1:38:12

the temperature gets at 300 degrees for

1:38:14

a week. Bro after your fear point

1:38:17

I'm sort of sudden to think that

1:38:19

might be a good idea. It's a

1:38:21

fear point. I'm kidding with you. I'm

1:38:24

making fun of what's going to happen.

1:38:26

Me too. But you know the thing

1:38:28

that I find most sinister about look...

1:38:31

I don't know where I stand with

1:38:33

the climate debate and what's going on

1:38:35

and whatever else, whether it's man-made, whether

1:38:38

it's not. Above my pay grade, I

1:38:40

don't know enough about it. But when

1:38:42

you start going, okay, that's interesting, you

1:38:44

talk to people who are on one

1:38:47

particular side and they go, oh. You're

1:38:49

a climate denier? Yeah. And I'm like,

1:38:51

oh, right, okay, so now we're in

1:38:54

the realms of religion and ideology here.

1:38:56

You're denying the climate, you're denying it?

1:38:58

I deny this, air is real. Show

1:39:01

me, prove it, bitch. No. It's crazy.

1:39:03

It's crazy talk. You should be able

1:39:05

to have a conversation about what the

1:39:07

factors are that lead to the temperature

1:39:10

change. And it's a very nuanced discussion.

1:39:12

And here's what's undeniable. Human beings are

1:39:14

gross and we polluted polluted the earth.

1:39:17

That's a fact. So regardless of whether

1:39:19

or not it's affecting the temperature of

1:39:21

the earth, we've done disgusting things. So

1:39:24

the rivers, disgusting things to the air,

1:39:26

there's places in this world where if

1:39:28

you live and you breathe their air,

1:39:31

you will live less. You will die

1:39:33

more often of respiratory diseases because you're

1:39:35

breathing pollution and toxic fumes that are

1:39:37

in the air. That's a fact. That's

1:39:40

undeniable. And if you're just talking about

1:39:42

climate... change and you're not talking about

1:39:44

that that's kind of crazy because the

1:39:47

climate change thing is really it's really

1:39:49

nuanced and there's a ton of factors

1:39:51

including solar activity including there's there's all

1:39:54

sorts of weird shit that happens with

1:39:56

the temperature on earth before humans ever

1:39:58

existed it would go way up and

1:40:00

way down and way up and way.

1:40:03

North America was covered in almost two

1:40:05

miles of ice, like 50% of it.

1:40:07

That was just 10,000 years ago. You

1:40:10

go to Scotland sometimes, right?

1:40:12

Yes. Do you know that

1:40:14

the Romans used to grow

1:40:16

grapes on Hadron's wall? Wow.

1:40:18

Because it was warmer. The

1:40:20

Saharaara, how about that? Sub-Saharan

1:40:22

Africa was a fucking rainforest.

1:40:24

And there's whales. They find whales

1:40:26

in the desert in the desert.

1:40:28

of Africa. Whales. Well that first

1:40:31

global warming. Yeah, it warmed there.

1:40:33

It's like it all like the Sahara

1:40:35

Desert used to be a fucking, it

1:40:37

used to be lush. Yeah. It's crazy

1:40:39

that the world just changes. Things

1:40:41

happen and we get pelted every

1:40:44

now and then with giant rocks

1:40:46

from space and it sucks everything

1:40:48

up. That's the reality that we

1:40:50

live in and it's just like

1:40:53

controlling people. and telling people about their

1:40:55

carbon footprint. Do not give into that.

1:40:57

Do not give into that. Especially what

1:41:00

China just built 200 new fucking coal

1:41:02

plants. Do not give into this carbon

1:41:04

footprint thing. It is all just control.

1:41:06

Like for you to have a carbon

1:41:09

tax on everything, it's control. You can't

1:41:11

let them have that kind of control

1:41:13

over you. Do you know what we're

1:41:16

doing in the UK now? What? Industrial

1:41:18

energy prices are four times what they

1:41:20

are in America. And we can't even

1:41:22

make our own virgin steel. Oh my God.

1:41:24

Because of net zero. And not only

1:41:27

that, what we're doing is we're

1:41:29

not actually reducing our carbon footprint

1:41:31

because we still need the steel,

1:41:33

right? And we still need the stuff

1:41:35

that you make with energy. So we

1:41:37

outsource it to India, we outsource it

1:41:40

into China, and then we ship

1:41:42

it back. And we're like, no

1:41:44

carbon footprint? Oh my God, that's

1:41:46

so crazy. Yeah. And so we're

1:41:48

destroying our own industry, basically. Did

1:41:50

you see that they did the

1:41:52

study on cargo ships and they

1:41:54

found out that the temperature of

1:41:56

the water went up when they

1:41:58

made the cargo ships be... more

1:42:00

efficient and less polluting. So the

1:42:02

cargo ships, because they're polluting the

1:42:04

air, they're essentially creating haze as

1:42:06

they baw, baw, across the fucking

1:42:08

ocean, when they made them more

1:42:10

efficient and better at filtering out

1:42:12

pollution, it actually warmed the surface

1:42:14

of the water more. So instead

1:42:16

of not, it contributed to global

1:42:18

warming. by having less pollution because

1:42:20

there's less filtration of the sun

1:42:22

to the surface of the water.

1:42:25

That's how much they pollute. So

1:42:27

when do you think like no

1:42:29

no carbon footprint like what is

1:42:31

that footprint? That footprint's got to

1:42:33

be crazy because that footprint is

1:42:35

blocking the sun. The footprint for

1:42:37

you to get your fucking cheap

1:42:39

slippers from India is blocking the

1:42:41

sun. You know you know the

1:42:43

moment I remember going I realize

1:42:45

this was all very weird. when

1:42:47

the head of that organization, the

1:42:49

most prominent person, was a 14-year-old

1:42:51

autistic girl. I think she's 16,

1:42:53

or was. No, but she was

1:42:55

about 14-15 at the time. And

1:42:57

as somebody who's taught teenagers, they're

1:42:59

fucking idiots. Don't ever listen to

1:43:01

a teenager. Well, I think she's

1:43:04

smart, but she also appears to

1:43:06

be, what's that word? What's the

1:43:08

word they use? she's autistic yeah

1:43:10

yeah yeah yeah I would I

1:43:12

was gonna say neuro divergent you're

1:43:14

very progressive but no but you

1:43:16

just had and she was right

1:43:18

yeah no she definitely is she's

1:43:20

definitely got autism and she was

1:43:22

just are you a doctor? by

1:43:24

the way someone having autism doesn't

1:43:26

mean they're wrong but but but

1:43:28

you don't want a young girl

1:43:30

leading a global movement or young

1:43:32

boy either and young anybody shut

1:43:34

the fuck up but but but

1:43:36

the reason But this is exactly

1:43:38

it. How dare you? Yeah. And

1:43:41

the left was like, we got

1:43:43

one, we got a winner. Yeah,

1:43:45

and then a winner, get her

1:43:47

up. Absolutely, and then they put

1:43:49

her up there and they were

1:43:51

like, isn't this great? And I

1:43:53

was like, well, hang on a

1:43:55

second, she's got autism, which means

1:43:57

she is going to see things

1:43:59

naturally in very black and white

1:44:01

terms. Also as well, there's a

1:44:03

lot of anxiety based disorders that

1:44:05

come with autism. I can't, can

1:44:07

you imagine being globally famous? I

1:44:09

don't have to say that to

1:44:11

you. But can you imagine being

1:44:13

this famous? at 14. That's child

1:44:15

abuse man. Well we were actually

1:44:17

talking about that yesterday with child

1:44:20

stars like how many child stars

1:44:22

get out of it okay I

1:44:24

don't think any of them do.

1:44:26

I think all of them are

1:44:28

fucked up because their development has

1:44:30

just been completely skewed during your

1:44:32

developmental period when you're at your

1:44:34

most vulnerable you're famous and you're

1:44:36

not vulnerable at all and you

1:44:38

don't have to like people don't

1:44:40

you have to work for people's

1:44:42

attention you're wonderful just from your

1:44:44

personality you're a famous person or

1:44:46

you could sing or you can

1:44:48

whatever you're a little kid you're

1:44:50

number one everybody loves you the

1:44:52

whole family relies on you for

1:44:54

money you know you're you know

1:44:56

you're you know you're taken to

1:44:59

practice and rehearsals and you're the

1:45:01

star in the center of attention

1:45:03

constantly girls love you when you're

1:45:05

six like it's nuts so no

1:45:07

one can survive it No, but

1:45:09

then add in to the fact

1:45:11

of politics as well. So now

1:45:13

there's not only people who love

1:45:15

you, there's people who hate you

1:45:17

and despise you. You know she's

1:45:19

moved on to Palestine? Yeah, yeah,

1:45:21

yeah, it's wonderful. Did you see

1:45:23

that? She was important to get

1:45:25

her opinion on things. Did you

1:45:27

see that clip of... And again,

1:45:29

I actually feel a lot of

1:45:31

empathy for her, like she's been

1:45:33

placed in a terrible situation, but

1:45:36

she got up and she was

1:45:38

speaking about Palestine at a climate

1:45:40

conference. like we're meant to be

1:45:42

talking about the climate not Palestine

1:45:44

yeah hey what happened with that

1:45:46

director the director who he won

1:45:48

the Academy Award and for some

1:45:50

documentary about Palestine and he got

1:45:52

snatched up do you know that

1:45:54

story no you don't know that

1:45:56

story Jamie If any of you

1:45:58

find that story. I heard about

1:46:00

the one or two students that

1:46:02

I've gotten. Yeah, I heard about

1:46:04

them as well. But this is

1:46:06

a different one. This is a

1:46:08

different one. I've read about this.

1:46:10

He's, they don't know where he

1:46:12

is now. I think he allegedly

1:46:15

got snatched up by some soldiers.

1:46:17

Where? Jamie will find the story.

1:46:19

Oscar winning Palestinian director Hamdan Balalal

1:46:21

released after arrest in West Bank.

1:46:23

Okay, so they snatched him up

1:46:25

and they let him go. Okay.

1:46:27

Well, that's good to know. He's

1:46:29

been released from detention a day

1:46:31

after being injured and arrested West

1:46:33

Bank during a raid on his

1:46:35

village. Witnesses say Israeli settlers beat

1:46:37

up Balal, a co-director of the

1:46:39

documentary film, no other land, and

1:46:41

the occupied West Bank on Monday

1:46:43

local time. Mr. Balal said he

1:46:45

had been assaulted by settlers after

1:46:47

filming them attacking a neighbor's house.

1:46:49

So, maybe the soldiers. He

1:46:52

said he had been pushed to the

1:46:54

ground why soldiers yelled at him to

1:46:56

stand up and pointed their guns at

1:46:58

him He was just waiting outside if

1:47:00

any settlers or any army attacking my

1:47:02

home. He told Reuters after being released

1:47:04

from police custody Wow, well, thankfully he's

1:47:06

alive because I was worried when he

1:47:08

disappeared and they didn't know where he

1:47:11

was. I was like, oh Jesus, they

1:47:13

killed that guy. That's crazy. Yeah, because

1:47:15

it's just You know, it's The whole

1:47:17

situation is so fucking terrifying. When you

1:47:19

see the drone footage, you're like, what

1:47:21

in the fuck is going on over

1:47:23

there? Like, this is nuts. This whole

1:47:25

thing is nuts. And I don't know

1:47:27

what's going on with these people protesting

1:47:29

in the streets against Hamas. Is that

1:47:31

true? Is that real? I think so.

1:47:33

Yeah. insanely courageous thing for those people

1:47:35

to do yeah I mean could you

1:47:38

imagine being no mask you're out in

1:47:40

the street protesting against Hamas well we

1:47:42

know what's happened before because it's not

1:47:44

the first time there have been small

1:47:46

protests and the Hamas just come along

1:47:48

and shoot them in the knees Jesus

1:47:50

Christ yeah but I mean how far

1:47:52

these people have to be pushed before

1:47:54

they do that like that's crazy yeah

1:47:56

you know we talk about bravery You

1:47:58

know and of course bravery does exist

1:48:00

in the West and whatever else and

1:48:02

people who speak up and people who

1:48:05

lose their jobs And you know and

1:48:07

that is bravery. Let's let's make no

1:48:09

bones about that Absolutely, but there are

1:48:11

those people like the girls who go

1:48:13

out and Challenge the morality police in

1:48:15

Iran and take off their hijabs and

1:48:17

go no, I'm not going to do

1:48:19

it. And then they get thrown in

1:48:21

prison to disappear and they disappear you

1:48:23

look at those women and you go,

1:48:25

you know what? You have got far

1:48:27

more bulls than any man I've ever

1:48:29

met. Do you know what they, I

1:48:32

mean, they're blinding them. Oh my God.

1:48:34

That's what the Iranian Revolutionary Guard is

1:48:36

doing. They're blinding them, man. They executed

1:48:38

an Olympic gold medalist wrestler. Yeah. For

1:48:40

protesting. Yeah. Yeah. And, you know, a

1:48:42

bunch of people tried to step in,

1:48:44

diplomatic. People tried to negotiate. No. They

1:48:46

killed them. It's scary, man. You gotta

1:48:48

understand, like, this is, you would think,

1:48:50

this is unrelated to the United States,

1:48:52

but it is, it's humans in power,

1:48:54

and with ultimate power over society, with

1:48:56

a rock-solid set of rules, that a

1:48:59

rock-solid set of rules, that you can

1:49:01

call religion, you can call it whatever

1:49:03

you want, but a rock-solid set of

1:49:05

rules that you have to adhere to,

1:49:07

including how you groom yourself, and how

1:49:09

you, where you cover your hair or

1:49:11

not. And that sounds crazy, like, like,

1:49:13

like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

1:49:15

like, like, like, Because a lot of

1:49:17

the shit that... People on the left

1:49:19

or people on the right are trying

1:49:21

to get you to go along with

1:49:23

is just as ridiculous And it's just

1:49:26

a normal pattern of human behavior when

1:49:28

people get into power They want ultimate

1:49:30

power the best way to do that

1:49:32

is to have real rigid rules and

1:49:34

take away everybody's guns and take away

1:49:36

everybody's ability to protest and then keep

1:49:38

you poor fuck up your economy, your

1:49:40

your banks, all your money went away,

1:49:42

whoops, fuck everything up and do it

1:49:44

so that they just keep you down

1:49:46

and that's the best way to get

1:49:48

control and then they siphon off all

1:49:50

the resources. They've been doing that for...

1:49:53

forever. Forever. That's Robin Hood. They've been

1:49:55

doing that since the beginning of time.

1:49:57

It's just... And I think that's why

1:49:59

Lord of the Rings is such a

1:50:01

powerful thing that everyone can relate to

1:50:03

because it's ultimately about their relationship with

1:50:05

power. And Froteau is trying to... Froteau

1:50:07

is trying to make small government, right?

1:50:09

That's what he's trying to do. But

1:50:11

every one of us, every single one

1:50:13

of us has a boramir inside of

1:50:15

us, who wants to come along and

1:50:17

go, no, no, no, we'll take this,

1:50:20

we'll take this, we'll take this, and

1:50:22

we'll use this, and we'll use it,

1:50:24

and we'll use it, and we'll use

1:50:26

it, and we'll use it, and we'll

1:50:28

use it, and we'll use it, and

1:50:30

we'll use it, and we'll use it,

1:50:32

and we'll use it, and we'll use

1:50:34

it, use it, use it, use it,

1:50:36

use it, use it, use it, use

1:50:38

it, use it, use Right, right. We'll

1:50:40

use the power for... No, no, give

1:50:42

it to me. I'll take care of

1:50:45

it. I'll sort everything out. You know,

1:50:47

why don't we use this against the

1:50:49

enemy? And that person lives inside of

1:50:51

every human being. The person who says,

1:50:53

give me the power, I'll take care

1:50:55

of this. You know who else lives

1:50:57

inside every human being? Column. Yeah. Power

1:50:59

is like that man. Yeah, it is

1:51:01

and it doesn't matter how much power

1:51:03

you experience Even if even a little

1:51:05

bit of power that you didn't have

1:51:07

before something. Oh, I've got this I

1:51:09

can do this I can especially if

1:51:12

you have contempt for fellow human beings

1:51:14

Yeah, so if you have power and

1:51:16

you fucking hate everybody, that's a bad

1:51:18

combination. Yeah, you know if you have

1:51:20

power and and you're also a psychopath,

1:51:22

that's real. But it's also bad if

1:51:24

you have good intentions as well. I

1:51:26

give you this example, I don't know

1:51:28

if you are familiar with Tarkovsky, he's

1:51:30

like a Russian director and he based,

1:51:32

he did the Storker film, you're familiar

1:51:34

with? Yeah, it's not about a guy

1:51:36

who stalks women, it's a different thing.

1:51:39

It's based on a book by the

1:51:41

Strogatski brothers. It was called Roadside Roadside

1:51:43

Picnic. And it's basically about a zone

1:51:45

where the aliens came and they did

1:51:47

something there. Nobody knows. And there's all

1:51:49

kinds of crazy artifacts and all that

1:51:51

kind of stuff. But anyway, in that

1:51:53

book, there is a scene where there

1:51:55

are people who oppose this alien thing

1:51:57

and they say, we mustn't use this,

1:51:59

we mustn't touch this, we need to

1:52:01

get these aliens out of here. And

1:52:03

another guy says to him, why do

1:52:06

you fight these aliens? Like, they want

1:52:08

good. They're trying to help us. They're

1:52:10

trying to improve things. And he says,

1:52:12

I don't fight them because I think

1:52:14

they're going to do evil, or they

1:52:16

want to do evil. I fight them

1:52:18

because they're going to do good as

1:52:20

they understand it. Whoa. And that's why

1:52:22

power is dangerous, because everyone can say,

1:52:24

I don't want power to do bad

1:52:26

things. I want power to do good

1:52:28

things. Now give it to me. there's

1:52:30

a lot of people like Hitler was

1:52:33

like no we're going to do the

1:52:35

right thing yeah yeah we're going to

1:52:37

do it's going to be beautiful but

1:52:39

you know yeah Stalin we did we

1:52:41

did a great episode with a guy

1:52:43

called Stephen Hicks who's he's a historian

1:52:45

of philosophy and a philosopher and he

1:52:47

basically explained to us that the Nazis

1:52:49

they saw themselves as heroic they weren't

1:52:51

doing evil in their heads they were

1:52:53

saving the world in their minds of

1:52:55

course and they're on meth and they're

1:52:57

on meth yeah so they were efficient

1:53:00

It's black and they were German too,

1:53:02

so they were very efficient. Primitive Adderall.

1:53:04

Yeah. But you know, and that's, I

1:53:06

think, one of the things that's good

1:53:08

about getting older is that you become,

1:53:10

if you've got a conscience, you've become

1:53:12

less certain in yourself, you realize the

1:53:14

fact that you have darkness within you.

1:53:16

Yeah, the problem is is when you

1:53:18

talk to people and they feel like

1:53:20

they're morally pure and you see this

1:53:22

on the extremes of both left and

1:53:24

right and that's where the column is

1:53:27

coming because we've interviewed people on the

1:53:29

left and that side of the right

1:53:31

and you talk to them and they're

1:53:33

all super nice and they're really lovely

1:53:35

and they're like you know we want

1:53:37

this and we want this and we

1:53:39

just want people to be happier and

1:53:41

we feel that the best way of

1:53:43

doing this is this and the best

1:53:45

way of doing that is that and

1:53:47

anybody can see that and then you

1:53:49

challenge them and they're like yeah you're

1:53:51

like you see the column Yeah, you

1:53:54

see the column comes out even for

1:53:56

a second and you see the look

1:53:58

in their eye switch and you're like

1:54:00

Holy Fuck. And you're sitting across from

1:54:02

somebody, so at an energy level, you

1:54:04

go, oh, oh, hello. Yeah, there it

1:54:06

is. There it is. There it is.

1:54:08

There it is. Give me the power.

1:54:10

Give me the power. Give me the

1:54:12

power. Well, it's also, whether you're

1:54:14

on the left or you're on the

1:54:16

right. If you're entering into that arena,

1:54:19

you're entering into the arena of like,

1:54:21

how society is structured, essentially. That's what

1:54:23

you're doing. You're deciding your way is

1:54:25

a better way than these other people.

1:54:27

And this is the way we should

1:54:29

be handling things. This is what we

1:54:31

have to do. And this is how

1:54:33

we have to do it. That's a

1:54:35

weird stance to take anyway. You know,

1:54:37

unless you're exceptionally intelligent and just really

1:54:39

tired of it, and it's like, I

1:54:42

just think I have a good perspective,

1:54:44

and maybe this is better than my

1:54:46

office job. I get that. But there's

1:54:48

a lot of people that it becomes

1:54:51

their entire identity, too. Your entire identity

1:54:53

is based on the assumption that you

1:54:55

have a better idea of how to

1:54:57

structure society. Yeah. And we do need

1:55:00

those people, but they have to be

1:55:02

checks and balances. Well, you know, they're

1:55:04

just people. It's just like when you're

1:55:06

the only person talking about

1:55:09

it. Or there's a small

1:55:11

group of people talking about it.

1:55:13

There's still just people talking about

1:55:15

it. It's not necessarily representative of

1:55:17

how most people think, especially if

1:55:19

they weren't influenced. If most people

1:55:21

were just a little more objective

1:55:24

and didn't have to agree to

1:55:26

certain things, if you say you're

1:55:28

a Democrat, if we could just

1:55:30

be a little bit more reasonable,

1:55:32

I think we would find that

1:55:34

there's more than enough room for a

1:55:36

third party in this country. I mean,

1:55:39

it's hard to get one off the

1:55:41

ground, almost impossible, because they've rigged the

1:55:43

whole system. And most people think it's

1:55:45

ridiculous. They're not going to vote for

1:55:47

a libertarian, unless you're, it's a protest

1:55:49

vote. You know they're not going to

1:55:51

win. But we have room for legitimate

1:55:54

third party, because most people, I think,

1:55:56

are in the middle. Most people are,

1:55:58

like, most people say, you can't. Racism

1:56:00

is terrible. Yeah, homophobia is terrible. Also,

1:56:02

letting people out of jail when they

1:56:04

kill people is not a good idea.

1:56:06

You can't just let them right out

1:56:08

of jail. This is crazy. You know,

1:56:10

like, that's not bad. And also, like,

1:56:12

why are these schools so fucked up?

1:56:15

How come you've been spending all this

1:56:17

money in Afghanistan? You spend none of

1:56:19

it in Detroit. Like, what are you

1:56:21

doing? How are you guys managing this

1:56:23

country? How are you managing our tax

1:56:25

dollars? All that's reasonable. Yeah, I think,

1:56:27

you know, I think part of the

1:56:29

issue is as well, Joe, is that

1:56:31

just people, we're tribal by nature, we

1:56:33

don't want to, we don't want to

1:56:35

alienate people in our tribal, people who

1:56:37

we perceive to be in our tribe.

1:56:39

So we just go along with things

1:56:41

when we really shouldn't. It's like, I'm

1:56:43

going to be honest, even on our

1:56:45

show when I have to do a

1:56:48

question that I know is going to

1:56:50

challenge, a guest, that comes to a

1:56:52

point me where I'm like... But you

1:56:54

go, you've got to push through, you've

1:56:56

got to do it, you've got to

1:56:58

do it, and you've got to ask

1:57:00

the question, you have to ask them.

1:57:02

And I think we live in a

1:57:04

culture, and I'm just as guilty as

1:57:06

this is anyone, where we just seek

1:57:08

comfort all the time, and then we

1:57:10

never actually push through, and we never

1:57:12

go, I'm going to make myself uncomfortable.

1:57:14

actually maybe we're all going to come

1:57:16

out a little bit better out of

1:57:19

this because I'm going to come out

1:57:21

a little bit better because I'm going

1:57:23

to be braver and maybe like my

1:57:25

thought like or my opinion on something

1:57:27

it's going to be found out to

1:57:29

be bullshit and that's going to be

1:57:31

great for me or maybe my argument

1:57:33

isn't as sharp as I initially thought

1:57:35

and for instance if we're having a

1:57:37

discussion you go hey Francis what about

1:57:39

A-B-C-D and I'm like I didn't think

1:57:41

about any of that. This sounded great

1:57:43

in my head, but actually it's pretty

1:57:45

simplistic and one-dimensional. And if I challenge

1:57:47

you, the same thing happens to you.

1:57:49

You go, you know what? Yeah, I

1:57:52

can see that. But if nobody's prepared

1:57:54

to do that, then all that happens

1:57:56

is we sit in our little solo

1:57:58

with our own bullshit little ideas that

1:58:00

actually, when the rubber hits the road,

1:58:02

they don't work in reality. And what's

1:58:04

more, it's not just that they don't

1:58:06

work. It's that they're actually detrimental and

1:58:08

destructive to human beings. Right. Have you

1:58:10

ever heard someone say something and then

1:58:12

the other person says, yeah, but what

1:58:14

about the, the, the, the, the, like,

1:58:16

okay, but you didn't, what aboutisms are

1:58:18

a perfect example of that, right? When

1:58:20

someone does a what aboutism, what they're

1:58:22

basically saying is I'm not gonna address

1:58:25

what you said, I'm gonna call you

1:58:27

on something to make you address something.

1:58:29

So you've stopped talking about stuff and

1:58:31

now you're just trying to win and

1:58:33

this is what most people are doing.

1:58:35

Most people are just trying to win.

1:58:37

They're just trying to like take the

1:58:39

better... end of the, you know, whatever,

1:58:41

your arm wrestling, they want to get

1:58:43

your wrist bent over. They want to

1:58:45

win. So that's what a lot of

1:58:47

this political discourse in this country is

1:58:49

about. It's about just it's connected to

1:58:51

this bizarre human tribal behavior of competition.

1:58:53

That's why I brought up the signal

1:58:56

story because like the obvious thing that

1:58:58

happened, somebody made a mistake, mistakes, you

1:59:00

make mistakes, you admit it? You accept

1:59:02

it, you investigate, you find out what

1:59:04

happened and you move on. But there

1:59:06

are a lot of people doing exactly

1:59:08

what you said. But what about this?

1:59:10

What about Hillary Clinton? We're not talking

1:59:12

about Hillary Clinton. We're not talking about

1:59:14

humma and the laptop. We're talking about

1:59:16

what just happened. But here's what I

1:59:18

was going back to earlier. Why don't

1:59:20

they have their own encrypted app? Why,

1:59:22

you spent so much fucking money on

1:59:24

all kinds of shit? How much does

1:59:26

it cost to make an encrypted app?

1:59:29

It can't be that much. If the

1:59:31

government is doing about trillion, mate, but

1:59:33

if... But what do you think you

1:59:35

want an app that only... You know

1:59:37

how Eric Prince has that unplugged phone?

1:59:39

Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1:59:41

I don't know anything about it, but

1:59:43

I do know that he has his

1:59:45

own app on the phone, that's an

1:59:47

encrypted app, unplugged, encrypted app. If you're

1:59:49

going to contact someone who has it,

1:59:51

like it should be something like that,

1:59:53

but even more classified. You should have

1:59:55

like a website. You'd probably have to

1:59:57

do it on an Android phone, because

1:59:59

you'd have to download it through a

2:00:02

third party or get some sort of

2:00:04

a backdoor deal with Apple, where they

2:00:06

allow you to put it on the

2:00:08

app store, but only you could get

2:00:10

into it with a password or something.

2:00:12

How do you not have that? It

2:00:14

just seems insane. You're using signal, I

2:00:16

use signal. How the fuck do you

2:00:18

use a signal? That's crazy. You should

2:00:20

have your own shit. Yeah, and it

2:00:22

just becomes about ego, man. It's like,

2:00:24

this is my team, we're going to

2:00:26

win at all costs. And then once

2:00:28

you start thinking that, you just go,

2:00:30

well, if this person is challenging me,

2:00:33

it doesn't matter how legitimate the challenges,

2:00:35

the challenges, actually, if I go and

2:00:37

destroy them. reluctantly on your team because

2:00:39

they think the other team sucks more.

2:00:41

Like now you're like well you guys

2:00:43

are sucking close to them now. Don't

2:00:45

do that. And that will happen over

2:00:47

the next four years I think. One

2:00:49

hundred percent. It's human beings and it's

2:00:51

also again all these people are doing

2:00:53

their job for the first time you

2:00:55

know Cash Patel just started running the

2:00:57

FBI like just started on the job

2:00:59

like what and has security that's not

2:01:01

FBI security because he doesn't trust the

2:01:03

FBI security so he gets his own

2:01:06

security. What like imagine that hostile environment?

2:01:08

Yeah, and look I want all these

2:01:10

people to crush I want them all

2:01:12

to be incredibly successful of what they

2:01:14

do in your country and in our

2:01:16

country because it makes our country better

2:01:18

Right, yeah, yeah, of course you do

2:01:20

Yeah, you and that's what look if

2:01:22

you the vast majority of people when

2:01:24

it boils down to it they don't

2:01:26

care about team left they don't care

2:01:28

about team right they just want a

2:01:30

better country I want a better America

2:01:32

I want to come to America and

2:01:34

go this is the greatest country in

2:01:37

the world and I want to come

2:01:39

to Britain and go this is the

2:01:41

greatest country in the world I mean

2:01:43

we'd never say that because we're British

2:01:45

but I mean if someone said that

2:01:47

in Britain you're like dude you're mentally

2:01:49

ill come on generous just said it

2:01:51

the Britain is the greatest country in

2:01:53

the world She just moved there. Yeah,

2:01:55

well give her a couple of years.

2:01:57

Yeah, yeah, and she'll soon get this

2:01:59

disavowed of that notion. I think she's

2:02:01

already in the squabble with her neighbors.

2:02:03

She is like, she's doing some construction.

2:02:05

It was already an issue. Yeah, I

2:02:07

mean, there is nothing more British than

2:02:10

that, someone coming around and going, have

2:02:12

you got a proof? for that. We're

2:02:14

going to need to see 10 rooms

2:02:16

of 10 documents. Have you signed? Have

2:02:18

you? That's exactly what we do. It's

2:02:20

a whole country of homeowners associations. Yeah.

2:02:22

Everybody hates homeowners associations. They're always giving

2:02:24

you a hard time about your lawn

2:02:26

or whatever the fuck it is like

2:02:28

get out of here. You can't paint

2:02:30

it that color. We have guidelines. Yeah.

2:02:32

But that's, I think that's what everybody

2:02:34

here wants. I want America to be

2:02:36

incredible, great, a brilliant country. I want

2:02:38

that for my country as well. And

2:02:40

I'll be honest with you, I always

2:02:43

normally sided with the left because I

2:02:45

thought that was a way of doing

2:02:47

it. But right now, I don't care.

2:02:49

I just want the best people to

2:02:51

come out and work for the country.

2:02:53

You're going to make mistakes. You're going

2:02:55

to fuck it up. You're going to

2:02:57

say dumb stuff. I say dumb stuff.

2:02:59

You're going to put in procedures that

2:03:01

don't work. We all get that. But

2:03:03

what I want and what I think

2:03:05

the vast majority of people want is

2:03:07

people not on Team X or Team

2:03:09

Y, but on Team Britain and Team

2:03:11

America. Yeah. You know, there's that saying...

2:03:14

You show me a young man who's

2:03:16

not a liberal, and I'll show you...

2:03:18

Who say that? Churchill. Churchill. And show

2:03:20

me an old man who's not a

2:03:22

conservative, I'll show you a man with

2:03:24

no brain. I don't necessarily think you

2:03:26

have to give up on people. Like,

2:03:28

the idea is that at a certain

2:03:30

point in time, you realize that too

2:03:32

many people are too fucked up, and

2:03:34

you have to have more conservative values,

2:03:36

because that's the only way society can

2:03:38

function. But that's... That's like kind of

2:03:40

cynical. The idea is that you can't

2:03:42

be like an actual true kind progressive

2:03:44

person and be successful at life deep

2:03:47

into your 60s and 70s like of

2:03:49

course you can. It totally can be

2:03:51

done. Like there's real genuinely kind compassionate

2:03:53

people out there that are intelligent and

2:03:55

they're not weak. This is not that

2:03:57

many. No. And there's a lot of

2:03:59

people that are larping. There's a lot

2:04:01

of people that are pretending they're... progressive,

2:04:03

pretending their kind, when really they're the

2:04:05

fucking people key in Tesla's. There's a

2:04:07

lot of people out there that are

2:04:09

just this aping, this position that they're

2:04:11

in, they're faking it. I think that's

2:04:13

one of the big fundamental debates between

2:04:15

left and right. Thomas Sol has a

2:04:17

great book about this called Conflict of

2:04:20

Visions. It's really fundamentally about what you

2:04:22

see as the truth about human nature.

2:04:24

The right thinks human nature is imperfect.

2:04:26

And that's what it is, and you

2:04:28

have to deal with that reality. Some

2:04:30

people are going to be criminal, some

2:04:32

people are going to be drug addicts,

2:04:34

some blah, blah, blah, blah. And the

2:04:36

left, particularly at the extreme ends, thinks

2:04:38

in a utopian way. Everything is changeable,

2:04:40

everything is perfectible, everybody can be improved.

2:04:42

Anybody can become a woman. And that's

2:04:44

where you get like... uh... you know

2:04:46

the the homelessness problem in america partly

2:04:48

is about that it's about the idea

2:04:51

well we'll shut down these terrible and

2:04:53

they were terrible mental institutions right right

2:04:55

right and then we give people freedom

2:04:57

because anybody can handle freedom right if

2:04:59

the freedom is great in and of

2:05:01

itself it's wonderful and then you leave

2:05:03

mentally ill people and drug addicted people

2:05:05

on the streets where they have a

2:05:07

horrible life you know and that's really

2:05:09

the big difference whereas the right obviously

2:05:11

you know it really believes in this

2:05:13

idea that human nature is corrupted I

2:05:15

suppose and you have to put things

2:05:17

in place to manage that and both

2:05:19

those extremes can go in the wrong

2:05:21

direction and that's why you need a

2:05:24

balance between the two. Yeah you can't

2:05:26

have like one party dominate you know

2:05:28

and you just like think that the

2:05:30

good thing about the Republicans getting into

2:05:32

office is it forces Democrats to be

2:05:34

better yeah that's a good thing I

2:05:36

mean I would love for some like

2:05:38

reasonable Democrat to come along that I

2:05:40

can get behind make a lot of

2:05:42

sense it'd be great if great be

2:05:44

some people just come to the center

2:05:46

and just like let's just be reasonable

2:05:48

about stuff like it doesn't like this

2:05:50

idea that you have to become a

2:05:52

conservative as you get older like why

2:05:54

who says so why you know there

2:05:57

are moments like the homeless in this

2:05:59

situation this country so crazy but there's

2:06:01

moments where it's just really funny we

2:06:03

were walking down the street in

2:06:05

DC and there was this this

2:06:07

lady and she was obviously very

2:06:09

mentally unwell she looked at me

2:06:11

and then she went Ashkenazi and

2:06:13

then said something which was a

2:06:15

clearly anti-Semitic slur and I was

2:06:17

like whoa and then looked at

2:06:19

Constantine and went biracial bitch that's what

2:06:21

I am whoa yeah and what did

2:06:23

you guys do to cause this? Nothing.

2:06:26

We're just walking down the street. Wow.

2:06:28

Yeah. See, we walk around a lot

2:06:30

in America, which I think a lot

2:06:32

of people, most people drive here, so

2:06:34

we encounter a lot of that. And

2:06:36

in every major city that we've been

2:06:39

to, there is a hell of a

2:06:41

lot of people who are just mentally

2:06:43

ill, man. That's what they are. And

2:06:45

they need help. Yeah. They don't need

2:06:47

to be there with a fucking shopping

2:06:50

car on the street with all their

2:06:52

belongings out of their brains.

2:06:54

They're smart. Imagine if that was

2:06:56

my real solution. I mean, China does

2:06:58

do that, right? Like, you don't see

2:07:00

homeless people on the street in China.

2:07:02

They don't tolerate any of that shit.

2:07:04

Which is, you would go there, you

2:07:06

go, oh, it's better here. But, okay,

2:07:08

at what cost? Exactly. Right. Like, what

2:07:10

do you do with San Francisco when

2:07:12

it gets that bad? What do you

2:07:15

do? You invite you Jing Pingover,

2:07:17

but they clean the streets right

2:07:19

up, man. Me, yeah, immediately. The

2:07:21

best thing was how Newsom described

2:07:23

is like, well, when your friends

2:07:25

come to visit, you clean up

2:07:28

the house. Like, how about you

2:07:30

just keep your house clean? You

2:07:32

fucking psycho? Yeah. What are you

2:07:34

talking about? He's doing an interesting

2:07:36

pivot at the moment, isn't he?

2:07:38

No, no, no, no. There's only a

2:07:41

billion people. Plus in China

2:07:43

300 million. Oh Oh Oh, oh, I missed

2:07:45

the first part that you didn't highlight

2:07:47

it So it's estimated a 300

2:07:49

million people are homeless. What? Yeah,

2:07:51

that's crazy in the whole country

2:07:54

Yeah, I remember when I went

2:07:56

to camping in China Let's let's

2:07:58

not emulate them then? Yeah. The

2:08:01

counting nomads, the counting people that

2:08:03

live in yurts. That's interesting. York

2:08:05

seems like a house. Kind of

2:08:07

cloth house. Those are the Mongols.

2:08:09

They hated houses. They ruled over

2:08:11

the people who lived in felt

2:08:13

tense. Yeah. Yeah. 300 million homeless

2:08:15

people. Have you been to China,

2:08:18

Joe? Wow. No. What are you

2:08:20

crazy? I'm not going there. Fuck

2:08:22

that. It's an interesting country. I

2:08:24

went there. I went there. Sure.

2:08:26

Do you know, like, I went

2:08:28

there in 2006 in Beijing and

2:08:30

the pollution was so bad, you

2:08:32

couldn't really see the sun at

2:08:34

midday. Wow. The sun was like

2:08:37

an orange lozenge in the sky.

2:08:39

So that's an example we were

2:08:41

talking about before. Yeah. You know,

2:08:43

like you're dying younger if you

2:08:45

live there. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. 100%.

2:08:47

That's probably like smoking packs of

2:08:49

cigarettes. Yeah. Packs, packs, packs, packs.

2:08:51

Yeah. For everybody. Everybody. Your little

2:08:54

baby. Smoking packs of cigarettes. And

2:08:56

it's so interesting when you go

2:08:58

there as well. I remember we

2:09:00

were driving down the road and

2:09:02

China is just this kind of,

2:09:04

the roads is that everybody cuts

2:09:06

each other up, everybody's trying to

2:09:08

get one up on the other

2:09:11

one. It's complete chaos. Like you're

2:09:13

driving down, someone will literally got

2:09:15

in front of them, cut in

2:09:17

front of them. And that's how

2:09:19

it is. Until the secret police

2:09:21

drive buying their cars and they

2:09:23

make this sound they go and

2:09:25

then everybody falls into line drives

2:09:28

perfectly The secret police car just

2:09:30

glides through everybody's on their best

2:09:32

behavior Then the car goes and

2:09:34

everyone's back to going wow And

2:09:36

you're like that is fascinating. That's

2:09:38

how you're getting control over people.

2:09:40

That's what I'm saying digital currency

2:09:42

social credit score Let's get it

2:09:45

together. This is a 50 lane

2:09:47

holiday traffic jam in China. Oh

2:09:49

my god I have so much

2:09:51

anxiety right now. I love you

2:09:53

Joe. Look, they're all going through

2:09:55

a checkpoint. They have to all

2:09:57

go through a checkpoint. That's what

2:09:59

the traffic jams is about. Look

2:10:01

how they went through the checkpoint.

2:10:04

Twelve day long traffic jam. But

2:10:06

did you see how they go

2:10:08

to the checkpoint and they're flying

2:10:10

through? See, they all go through

2:10:12

this. I'm guessing it's a toll

2:10:14

road, right? Yes, it's a toll

2:10:16

station. Three hours to pass through

2:10:18

the toll stations. 50 lanes passing

2:10:21

through the toll stations. Oh my

2:10:23

god, that's what happens. Too many

2:10:25

people, too much control. Yeah. Japan's

2:10:27

interesting. You've been to Japan? I

2:10:29

have. Yeah. Yeah, but briefly. I

2:10:31

was just there for UFC. Ah,

2:10:33

okay. Yeah. Yeah. You feel like

2:10:35

if you want to go somewhere

2:10:38

and you want to feel like

2:10:40

an uncultured, uneducated barbarian, Japan's a

2:10:42

great place. They sent me up

2:10:44

to my room to go put

2:10:46

on a long-slee shirt to hit

2:10:48

the gym. Tattoo's. Yeah. Who's that?

2:10:50

the book of five rings, the

2:10:52

samurai that killed 60 men in

2:10:55

unarmed combat and wrote a book

2:10:57

on strategy. You never read the

2:10:59

book of five rings? Wow! It's

2:11:01

one of the great philosophy books

2:11:03

of all time because it's by

2:11:05

this guy that was one of

2:11:07

the greatest samurais ever and he

2:11:09

was a Ronan. So he was

2:11:12

like traveling the earth having duels

2:11:14

with people and killed 62 men

2:11:16

in one-on-one duels and wrote about

2:11:18

the importance of balance. He's like

2:11:20

to be a great samurai. You

2:11:22

have to agree a great artist.

2:11:24

You have to be great at

2:11:26

calligraphy. You have to be a

2:11:29

poet. Like everything you do, you

2:11:31

have to do to the best

2:11:33

of your ability. You can have

2:11:35

no holes in your game. human

2:11:37

being. in order to survive and

2:11:39

keep your shit together and one-on-one

2:11:41

sword fighting. He got to the

2:11:43

point where he was so bored

2:11:45

killing people with oars, so he

2:11:48

would carve an oar and like

2:11:50

take down the flat part and

2:11:52

just make it a pole and

2:11:54

they would have a sword and

2:11:56

he would fight them with an

2:11:58

oar and beat them to death

2:12:00

with an oar. He's a big

2:12:02

old fucking pole and they have

2:12:05

a sword and he's fucking them

2:12:07

up because he's bored killing people

2:12:09

with swords He's once a bludgeon

2:12:11

someone with a sword to death

2:12:13

instead of It's like he would

2:12:15

show up hours late so they'd

2:12:17

be shit in their pants because

2:12:19

they knew they were supposed to

2:12:22

dual Musashi at like 8 a.m.

2:12:24

And he'd show up around noon

2:12:26

within all and they'd be a

2:12:28

fucking nervous wreck because he knew

2:12:30

he wasn't gonna sword fight until

2:12:32

noon So he's probably chilling on

2:12:34

his boat relaxing And I don't

2:12:36

get it on there. So he

2:12:39

rose down there, pulls out one

2:12:41

of his fucking carved oars and

2:12:43

beats you to death. Well Joe,

2:12:45

if the Prime Minister of Britain

2:12:47

bans oars, it's your fault mate.

2:12:49

But his book is amazing. So

2:12:51

I don't know, I think it's

2:12:53

any tattoo where I got sent

2:12:56

up to my room. I don't

2:12:58

think you can have exposed tattoos

2:13:00

in this fine establishment. Yeah, yeah,

2:13:02

for sure. Yeah. Yeah, and I'm

2:13:04

sure a lot of Yakuza's have

2:13:06

Musashi tattoos. Yeah, but obviously I'm

2:13:08

not the Yakuza, but I do

2:13:10

know a guy who had a

2:13:12

long relationship with them. Ensign Inouye,

2:13:15

who was an elite UFC fighter

2:13:17

back in the day, and he

2:13:19

lives in Japan, and he's had

2:13:21

like a bunch of run-ins with

2:13:23

Yakuza's. Does he still got his

2:13:25

fingers? He does. He's managed to

2:13:27

keep his fingers. I don't think

2:13:29

he's a part of them. I

2:13:32

think they just like respect him.

2:13:34

He's like a famous MMA pioneer

2:13:36

fighter Wow, yeah, that's a special

2:13:38

type of person who has a

2:13:40

running with a Yakuza Well, I

2:13:42

mean, if you're living in that

2:13:44

part of the world, I'm sure

2:13:46

that's just, if you're in their

2:13:49

areas, you're dealing with them. You

2:13:51

know, I mean, that's just, that's

2:13:53

how it's run over there. It's

2:13:55

like when the Italians used to

2:13:57

run, you know, parts of New

2:13:59

York City. Like, that's just how

2:14:01

it is. Until the Giuliani administration

2:14:03

infiltrated. you know and the FBI

2:14:06

infiltrated the mob and they've essentially

2:14:08

like taking the teeth out of

2:14:10

the Italian mob but that was

2:14:12

that was Vegas the mob ran

2:14:14

Vegas yeah it's I thought the

2:14:16

one of the things I find

2:14:18

fascinating about the Yakuza when I

2:14:20

read about them is their honor

2:14:23

code They had very strict honor

2:14:25

codes, didn't they? Yeah. So they

2:14:27

never messed with old people. If

2:14:29

someone was old, I may be

2:14:31

wrong about this, but they just

2:14:33

wouldn't get involved because they have

2:14:35

a reverence for old people. I

2:14:37

think women as well were seen

2:14:39

as kind of off-limits in children.

2:14:42

Everyone else, like if you're not

2:14:44

obeying or following, that's fair game.

2:14:46

Isn't it weird? You got rules

2:14:48

and how you do evil shit?

2:14:50

When I, you know, anything below

2:14:52

16, fuck that. Yeah, but you

2:14:54

know, that's weird. Controlled evil. Yeah,

2:14:56

I don't shoot any kids anymore.

2:14:59

I did that early in my

2:15:01

career. I'm past that. You know,

2:15:03

I moved on. Got out of

2:15:05

my system. I don't do open

2:15:07

my nights anymore. I don't shoot

2:15:09

kids. You know, it's... It's interesting,

2:15:11

but like how they even have

2:15:13

morality like I've seen a lot

2:15:16

of interviews with old gangsters particularly

2:15:18

from the Ronnie from the crazy

2:15:20

era. Oh, yeah, you know, and

2:15:22

there was one guy who's dead

2:15:24

now. It's called mad Frankie Fraser

2:15:26

Man's run into mad Frankie in

2:15:28

a pub. It's mad Frankie. Yeah,

2:15:30

yeah. And this guy was a

2:15:33

really short guy and I saw

2:15:35

him interviewed on and you but

2:15:37

I might even be on YouTube

2:15:39

way and he told a story

2:15:41

and he was like. You know

2:15:43

I was going for a walk

2:15:45

along Wimbledon Common and I saw

2:15:47

the governor of Wandsworth Prison where

2:15:50

I was for many years and

2:15:52

he goes and I didn't like

2:15:54

him. So what I did was

2:15:56

I went to, I went and

2:15:58

got my mate and he got

2:16:00

a rope and we got him

2:16:02

and we started to hang him.

2:16:04

But the problem is we were

2:16:06

hanging him. and I couldn't reach

2:16:09

the second branch because I'm only

2:16:11

a little fellow so we couldn't

2:16:13

hang him properly and everybody was

2:16:15

laughing and just going yeah this

2:16:17

is so funny because he was

2:16:19

this charming funny little guy and

2:16:21

I remember as a kid watching

2:16:23

it watching the audience laughing going

2:16:26

like that ain't funny man Jesus

2:16:28

Christ you know and then you

2:16:30

go and then he went but

2:16:32

you got to understand you got

2:16:34

to understand I didn't do it

2:16:36

to nice ordinary people I only

2:16:38

did it to rascals and for

2:16:40

him that was his honor code

2:16:43

Rascals. Imagine that. You rascal. You

2:16:45

know, imagine that's the term you

2:16:47

use for a guy, you had

2:16:49

to hang a rascal. He was

2:16:51

a rascal. Had to hang him.

2:16:53

Rascal. You silly rascal. Yeah. Jesus

2:16:55

Christ. Well, the world was a

2:16:57

harder place back then. Yeah. I

2:17:00

mean, that's something long ago. I

2:17:02

mean, if you were in the

2:17:04

1950s in Vegas and you fucked

2:17:06

up, you found yourself in the

2:17:08

middle of that lake that they

2:17:10

keep finding bodies in. You know,

2:17:12

they just discovered some guy from

2:17:14

the 1970s that's been missing forever.

2:17:17

Wow, I'm in a fucking barrel.

2:17:19

The bottom of the lake mead.

2:17:21

There's a... How many bodies that

2:17:23

they found in lake mead so

2:17:25

far? So as it drains, as

2:17:27

it, you know, because they're experiencing

2:17:29

significant drought, the more it drains,

2:17:31

the more bodies they keep finding,

2:17:34

like old hands, poking, poking up,

2:17:36

and shit. They've been killing people

2:17:38

out there forever. And that's just

2:17:40

the lake. The lake, that's lazy

2:17:42

people that don't like to dig

2:17:44

holes. It's just filled with holes.

2:17:46

There's probably thousands of people buried

2:17:48

out there. Some guy who fucking

2:17:50

didn't pay his debt, some guy

2:17:53

who talked too much to the

2:17:55

press, some guy who did this,

2:17:57

some guy who fucked this guy's

2:17:59

wife. Since

2:18:01

May 22, 2022, four sets

2:18:03

of human remains have been

2:18:05

located at Lake Mead. Here's

2:18:08

where we know about those

2:18:10

instances. Yeah, so they found

2:18:12

that body in a barrel.

2:18:14

Crazy. I think that one

2:18:16

was from the 70s. Yeah,

2:18:18

mid to late 70s. Victims'

2:18:20

shoes and clothes were sold

2:18:23

at Kmart in the mid

2:18:25

to late 1970s. Wow. That's

2:18:28

wild. And six days later they found

2:18:30

someone else. Imagine if you could just

2:18:32

watch a time lapse of them dropping

2:18:35

that body off in the water and

2:18:37

then speeding up all the years. And

2:18:39

then eventually the water pulls back and

2:18:42

the barrel and the lady walking her

2:18:44

dog's like what the fuck? Yeah. Have

2:18:46

you ever seen casino? Yes. Have you

2:18:48

seen a scene? Great, great, fucking movie.

2:18:51

Yeah, and it talks about all of

2:18:53

this. Oh yeah. I remember what I

2:18:55

was flying to Austin actually, and I

2:18:58

just, so I haven't seen this movie

2:19:00

in ages, so let's put it on.

2:19:02

And you know, like most movies, when

2:19:05

you watch it on a plane, you're

2:19:07

kind of distracted, you start looking at

2:19:09

your phone, you start mucking about whatever,

2:19:11

you're not really... Even if it was

2:19:14

on this tiny little screen, it was

2:19:16

like zoomed straight in and it talked

2:19:18

about all of this stuff and I've

2:19:21

forgotten what a great movie it was.

2:19:23

You know, immediately you just saw and

2:19:25

again the honor code came out and

2:19:28

the way they disposed the people were

2:19:30

like, yeah, we're gonna have to watch

2:19:32

it. You motherfucker! Joe Pechee! Oh my

2:19:34

god. standard standard shit in vegas you

2:19:37

know i mean the mob ran it

2:19:39

their way and their way is you

2:19:41

know there are a bunch of fucking

2:19:44

psychopaths and people still to this day

2:19:46

like the vaguest was better when the

2:19:48

mob ran it for you bitch because

2:19:51

you survived because you didn't lose it

2:19:53

blackjack here it is good fellas yeah

2:19:55

oh and good fellas they killed him

2:19:57

with the baseballs You motherfucker! You motherfucker!

2:20:00

So how much of that is still

2:20:02

going on, Joe? I wish I knew.

2:20:04

Oh, the same guy, Billy Bats and

2:20:07

Casino, that's right. Yeah, this is... Yeah.

2:20:09

Look, the blur of the fucking baseball

2:20:11

bat, moving towards his head. Yikes. You

2:20:14

motherfucker! You motherfucker! So how much of

2:20:16

that is still going on, Joe? I

2:20:18

don't know. I wish I wish I

2:20:20

knew. I wish I knew. But I

2:20:23

think it's just harder these days, and

2:20:25

I think it's being infiltrated by Russians

2:20:27

and Chinese and I think they have

2:20:30

a little bit Look if they don't

2:20:32

if they're speaking a Russian unless you

2:20:34

speak Russian, you don't even know what

2:20:37

the fuck they're saying You know, they

2:20:39

could talk right in front of you

2:20:41

And whenever there's money to be made,

2:20:43

there's going to be people making it.

2:20:46

If there's people buying drugs, there's people

2:20:48

selling it. There's people buying guns, there's

2:20:50

people selling it, and then you got

2:20:53

organized crime. That's just a fact. And

2:20:55

if you make things illegal, illegal people

2:20:57

are going to sell those things. And

2:21:00

that's what prohibition did to alcohol in

2:21:02

this country. It propped up Al Capone,

2:21:04

and it made the Kennedy's rich, allegedly.

2:21:06

Some people say not. Yeah, you know,

2:21:09

it's, it's, because I used to teach

2:21:11

in the East End of London, and

2:21:13

there's still legends about Ronnie and Reggie

2:21:16

Craig, and the one thing that they

2:21:18

always used to say about Ronnie and

2:21:20

Reggie, they go, yeah, yeah, they were

2:21:23

bad people, but they were nice to

2:21:25

their mum. Oh, that's sweet. I appreciate

2:21:27

that. I like a good psychopathic serial

2:21:29

killer who's nice to his mom. Yeah,

2:21:32

and they were just like, yeah, but

2:21:34

mate, you were not his mom. Do

2:21:36

you know what I mean? And if

2:21:39

you pissed him off, this is what

2:21:41

would happen. And here's the wild thing,

2:21:43

Joe. I taught two boys at this

2:21:46

school in East London. Can you guess

2:21:48

what their names were? Two brothers. Ronnie

2:21:50

and Reggie. Wow. Yeah, so in America

2:21:53

that's normal. Oh, it's just Ronnie and

2:21:55

Reggie. But in your country, it's like

2:21:57

Adolf and... Joseph, yeah. But Joseph is

2:21:59

minor. Yeah. Yeah. God damn. That's, that's

2:22:02

a wild family, I bet. Like you

2:22:04

can't name your kid Adolf anymore. It's

2:22:06

basically over. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, everyone's a

2:22:09

good name. No one's trying that. We

2:22:11

actually, when we used to do this

2:22:13

comedy show on our channel during the

2:22:16

pandemic, there was a guy in Africa

2:22:18

who's called Adolf. Was it spelled different?

2:22:20

No. No, no, no, no. It was

2:22:22

a tribute act. Whoa, yeah, they named

2:22:25

him after Hitler. Oh God. Yeah, that's

2:22:27

crazy Yeah, yeah, there's certain names that

2:22:29

are over it's over Yeah, that one's

2:22:32

one of them that guy killed the

2:22:34

name and the mustache It's done. You

2:22:36

know, I remember we'd like with this

2:22:39

kid Ronnie and they were just saying

2:22:41

to him there people were talking they

2:22:43

were like, you know what Ronnie's not

2:22:45

doing well at school at the moment?

2:22:48

I'm like yeah, I fucking wonder why

2:22:50

Jesus Yeah, probably not a stable family

2:22:52

life. Yeah, yeah, I thought he's got

2:22:55

good role models, you know what I

2:22:57

mean? Yeah. It's weird when the like

2:22:59

hit men have families and they're real

2:23:02

kind to their daughter and shit like

2:23:04

that Ted, what's his, no, what's the

2:23:06

guy's name that was the Ice Man?

2:23:08

Oh, that movie was incredible. Did you

2:23:11

watch a movie? What is it, what

2:23:13

was his name? I want to say

2:23:15

Kalinsky, but that's not. That guy has

2:23:18

anti-frees in his veins. It's terrifying. Listen

2:23:20

to him to describe like the different

2:23:22

murders and how he did it and

2:23:25

how he got started as a hitman.

2:23:27

Yeah. You know, this is, I'm not

2:23:29

sure if I should, anyway, a friend

2:23:31

of a friend, no she's not, she's

2:23:34

a friend of mine. She was saying

2:23:36

that she grew up in East London,

2:23:38

she said, and I believed her because

2:23:41

the story was so outlandish that she

2:23:43

knew a guy who is basically used

2:23:45

to contract killing. and but he loved

2:23:48

animals aw really passionate about animals squirrels

2:23:50

feed squirrels with Peanuts? No, no, no,

2:23:52

no. He was big on conservation job.

2:23:54

Oh, okay. So six months of the

2:23:57

year he would do contract killings in

2:23:59

London and the other six months he

2:24:01

would use that money to go and

2:24:04

fund to live in Africa where he

2:24:06

would kill poachers. Yeah, but and I

2:24:08

was like really she was like, yeah,

2:24:11

he's just passionate about wildlife and conservation.

2:24:13

That's crazy. Go kill poachers. Yeah, and

2:24:15

that's what he did. Maybe that's just

2:24:17

an excuse to kill people and feel

2:24:20

like you're being a good person. Yeah,

2:24:22

that's very British though. British people love

2:24:24

pets a lot more than they love

2:24:27

people in my experience. Oh yeah, yeah,

2:24:29

if you hurt an animal in Britain,

2:24:31

you're like, you're like a fucking pedophile.

2:24:34

Why is Britain that way? Like, what

2:24:36

is... I don't know, Francis, you tell

2:24:38

me. There's a lack of hunting culture,

2:24:41

I think, but... not in comparison to

2:24:43

like america no you guys like pheasant

2:24:45

hunt and shit like you don't have

2:24:47

like a lot you have roe deer

2:24:50

you don't have a lot of like

2:24:52

big game yeah and there's not like

2:24:54

a high percentage of hunters and then

2:24:57

fox hunting which gets like this gross

2:24:59

you know you take you don't kill

2:25:01

fox with a horse you can chase

2:25:04

them down like that's like a gross

2:25:06

view generally of the public like you

2:25:08

bring up fox hunting most people like

2:25:10

oh it's disgusting it's also got a

2:25:13

class thing as well fox hunting is

2:25:15

seen as a very privileged thing to

2:25:17

do because not everyone has a horse

2:25:20

you know exactly yeah and a team

2:25:22

of dogs and whatever else is are

2:25:24

cute yeah yeah you've never heard them

2:25:27

shag outside your bedroom window at three

2:25:29

in the morning I had the other

2:25:31

day I have one of my neighborhood

2:25:33

what you've got fox in your neighborhood

2:25:36

what you've got fox in your neighborhood

2:25:38

a hundred percent yeah we've got foxing

2:25:40

your neighborhood yeah we've got fox in

2:25:43

your neighborhood Yeah, he hangs out. He's

2:25:45

near my chicken coop that fucker, but

2:25:47

he's really cute as long as he

2:25:50

doesn't kill any of those chickens I

2:25:52

think he's cute Why wouldn't he kill

2:25:54

any other chick? He hasn't yet, you

2:25:56

know, because Joe's well protected Well, you

2:25:59

know, we let them out, but people

2:26:01

watch them when they're out make sure

2:26:03

that you know, we've had a dog

2:26:06

claw climb in through the fence get

2:26:08

one of them. A little neighbor's dog.

2:26:10

Did Marshall not defend them? No. Marshall

2:26:13

didn't know he was sleeping. Golden Retriever.

2:26:15

Golden Retrivers have plenty energy. They love

2:26:17

to play but they also are... fine

2:26:19

with chilling. And that dog just likes

2:26:22

to just lay down and just take

2:26:24

a little nap. He'll lay down like

2:26:26

half the fucking day. He'll get up

2:26:29

as soon as you want to do

2:26:31

something like, come on man, let's go

2:26:33

play. Like he was more than happy.

2:26:36

Like let's go, let's go, we get

2:26:38

excited. But then it's back to napping.

2:26:40

He was napping while his chickens were

2:26:42

getting fucked up. Yeah. It's nuts. When

2:26:45

he sees Marshall, he just like a

2:26:47

bullet just runs full speed at him

2:26:49

and launches himself to the air to

2:26:52

bite Marshall. Mars. They just wrestle around

2:26:54

and run in circles. It's fucking hilarious.

2:26:56

Yeah, man. There's something about that small

2:26:59

dog energy. Yeah, what's crazy is they

2:27:01

used to be wolves. You know, they

2:27:03

all used to be wolves. And we,

2:27:05

look at that look like a cutie

2:27:08

face. These little cuties. They're not red.

2:27:10

They're so adorable. And they make that

2:27:12

weird, you've heard them, you've heard it.

2:27:15

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've been kept up

2:27:17

many a night for hearing animals having

2:27:19

far better sex than I could ever

2:27:22

dream of. I'm used to coyotes, and

2:27:24

we have those in my neighborhood too.

2:27:26

But in LA, coyotes were a real

2:27:29

problem. They killed eight of my chickens,

2:27:31

nine of my chickens, whatever it was.

2:27:33

They're horrible, but they're also super necessary.

2:27:35

Because otherwise you'd have a... insane rodent

2:27:38

problem. Like they're the cleanup crew for

2:27:40

anything that's caught slipping. You want to

2:27:42

get rid of little rabbits? You want

2:27:45

to give too many rodents? You have

2:27:47

too many rats? Like send in the

2:27:49

fucking coyotes. So they're the cleanup crew.

2:27:52

They're really good. But they're also eat

2:27:54

your dogs, eat your cats. You know,

2:27:56

they eat people's dogs constantly. many people

2:27:58

whose dogs got eaten by coyotes. That's

2:28:01

the thing actually I love about America

2:28:03

is your wildlife. It's wild. It's wild.

2:28:05

I was with Red Band doing his

2:28:08

gig, The Secret Show, and he showed

2:28:10

me footage from his garden. They had

2:28:12

a mountain lion, a cougar coming. No,

2:28:15

it wasn't a cou- it was a

2:28:17

wild cat. Bobcat. Yeah, that was it.

2:28:19

A bobcat came into his garden. This

2:28:21

thing is like a small puma, and

2:28:24

it had its cubs with it. It

2:28:26

was incredible. Yeah, they're cute. It's

2:28:28

wild. Yeah. And Texas is, you've

2:28:31

got a bunch of like weird

2:28:33

stuff that people bring in

2:28:35

here too. You know? Like what? Well

2:28:38

there's more Texas. Like,

2:28:40

Texas has more tigers in

2:28:42

captivity in private collections than

2:28:45

all of the wild of

2:28:47

earth. Just Texas. Do

2:28:49

you know Francis, we forget something?

2:28:52

This country's fucking wild. There's more

2:28:54

people with tigers in their fucking

2:28:56

backyards in Texas than there are

2:28:58

in the wild of earth. That

2:29:00

is fucking crazy. Yeah, it's real.

2:29:02

That's a fact. And then there's

2:29:04

all sorts of other shit that you

2:29:06

can have here too. Like exotic animals

2:29:08

from Africa. There's animals that are

2:29:11

endangered in the land that they're

2:29:13

from, but you can hunt them

2:29:15

here. You know, my dad, my dad

2:29:17

in the 70s used to work for

2:29:19

the council in East London, like local

2:29:21

government, and he was saying that there was a

2:29:23

guy who owned a scrapyard and was

2:29:26

so pissed that people were stealing scrap, he

2:29:28

bought on the black market a lion to

2:29:30

guard his scrapyard. Oh, that's a good move.

2:29:32

And just chained it up. He bought a

2:29:34

lion on the black market. Yeah, that does

2:29:36

not sound true to me, mate. I'm going

2:29:38

to fact take that's here. You can have

2:29:40

a lion here too. You just have to.

2:29:42

You just have to have to have to

2:29:44

have to have to have to have to

2:29:46

have a permit. Make sure your lock's good.

2:29:48

You got a good lock for

2:29:50

the line. Yes, sir. It's

2:29:53

a master lock made in

2:29:55

America. Fuck it is. All

2:29:57

right. Well, have a good

2:29:59

one. Can you imagine? Jumping over

2:30:01

someone's into someone's yard because you want

2:30:03

to steal something and you're confronted by

2:30:06

a lion. Yeah, imagine. Imagine if you're

2:30:08

one of those poor migrants that's wandering

2:30:10

through Texas and you accidentally hop the

2:30:12

wrong fence and you go into the

2:30:15

lion encampment or whatever the fuck they

2:30:17

have. Like, I mean, I would imagine

2:30:19

they have ceilings on these places, hopefully.

2:30:21

Which is like the San Francisco story.

2:30:24

You know where those kids were throwing

2:30:26

pine cones at the tiger and the

2:30:28

tiger jumped over the fucking fence? Because

2:30:31

they didn't realize that the fence was

2:30:33

only like 12 feet high and a

2:30:35

tiger can jump 14 feet high. They

2:30:37

got out and killed these kids, killed

2:30:40

these kids, killed these kids, killed these

2:30:42

kids, killed these kids, stupid shit. Well,

2:30:44

how about put a roof over where

2:30:46

you have the monster? How about if

2:30:49

the monster can jump? Make sure there's

2:30:51

a roof. Yeah, oh so don't wind

2:30:53

up the monster. Don't take the piss.

2:30:55

But if you're one of those migrants

2:30:58

that wanders through the desert, you know,

2:31:00

and you make it across the river

2:31:02

and you don't know exactly where you're

2:31:04

going and you don't have a good

2:31:07

sense of direction, you wind up on

2:31:09

some guy's property. Is that still going

2:31:11

on or has that been stopped? Well

2:31:14

it's been stopped. I wouldn't say it's

2:31:16

been stopped. I wouldn't say it's been

2:31:18

stopped. diminished. I think, what is the

2:31:20

numbers of how many people are getting

2:31:23

through now? It was from thousands to

2:31:25

less than a hundred a day. Maybe

2:31:27

a little bit more than that. It's

2:31:29

hard to know really, right? Because what

2:31:32

are the, they're guessing. Like these are

2:31:34

the people that didn't get caught. So

2:31:36

how do you know how many they

2:31:38

are? But they do know that there's

2:31:41

not this giant line of people that

2:31:43

just are assuming they can get in

2:31:45

and walk through and they were just

2:31:48

letting them do that. Which is there's

2:31:50

no reasonable argument why that makes any

2:31:52

sense. There's no reason, no matter how

2:31:54

kind you are and compassionate and how

2:31:57

much you think these people from a

2:31:59

third world country deserve the American dream.

2:32:01

That's great. But let's find out. their

2:32:03

murderers. Let's find out if they're gang

2:32:06

members. Let's find out if they're hitmen

2:32:08

for the cartel. Like, what do you,

2:32:10

will you just let in everything open?

2:32:12

Why, why would you do that? There's

2:32:15

no rational explanation for that other than

2:32:17

you've got some sort of a nefarious

2:32:19

plan. If you're forcing that, trying to

2:32:21

stop the enforcement of that, you must

2:32:24

have some sort of a nefarious plan

2:32:26

because it can't be good to let

2:32:28

more criminals into the country. It can't

2:32:31

be good. crime infested parts of the

2:32:33

world. It's a high likelihood. Well, we

2:32:35

actually just had a report in the

2:32:37

UK which shows that for a long

2:32:40

time people were saying actually these people

2:32:42

commit crime at a low level. Uh-uh.

2:32:44

Who said that? Why would they say

2:32:46

that? Oh, the people say that all

2:32:49

the time when they defend illegal immigration.

2:32:51

It's such a bullshit argument. Because yeah,

2:32:53

a lot of them I bet don't.

2:32:55

94% fewer illegal border crossings detected. from

2:32:58

February 25th versus February 2024. Yeah. Yeah,

2:33:00

they kind of like count them I

2:33:02

guess by, you know, when they actually

2:33:05

stop them. Yeah, right. Yeah, that's a

2:33:07

big number. 94% is good. So there's

2:33:09

still people coming through. Yeah. And there's

2:33:11

probably still people coming through that are

2:33:14

criminals. Yeah. You know, but the thing

2:33:16

is like, you got to get scared

2:33:18

that people who are not criminals are

2:33:20

getting like, like, lassued up and deported

2:33:23

and sent to like... El

2:33:25

Salvador prisons like that kind of shit

2:33:27

because I'm I read some story it

2:33:29

was a Glenn Greenwall Yeah, yeah, yeah,

2:33:31

yeah, it's it's scary man Is that

2:33:34

true? Is that story accurate? I don't

2:33:36

think we know Well from what I

2:33:38

read I think it was in Time

2:33:40

magazine Jamie if you can pull it

2:33:43

up and maybe we can get an

2:33:45

accurate but basically With a bunch of

2:33:47

these trend or agua guys allegedly they

2:33:49

got one guy who at least one

2:33:52

guy who wasn't a criminal who was

2:33:54

just a gay barber, who I think

2:33:56

according to the story came here legally.

2:33:58

He was here legally. they said. Don't

2:34:01

if it's true. You have a green

2:34:03

card? I don't know what the details

2:34:05

are. Maybe Jamie can find it. No

2:34:07

criminal record. From what it said in

2:34:10

that story. Now, this is the problem,

2:34:12

right? Because the mainstream media has been

2:34:14

putting out so much shit that I

2:34:16

don't know what to believe anymore, right?

2:34:19

I feel the same way. And so

2:34:21

it's difficult, but it's something that we

2:34:23

actually brought up in one of our

2:34:25

conversations. We interviewed the guy from the

2:34:28

Heritage Foundation. but that's also when mistakes

2:34:30

get made. And I think a human

2:34:32

being being plucked out of nowhere and

2:34:34

ending up in a country who's never

2:34:37

been in a maximum security prison with

2:34:39

gang members seems like a bad thing

2:34:41

to happen to me. It's horrific. It's

2:34:43

horrific. I don't think that should be

2:34:45

controversial. No, that's not controversial at all.

2:34:48

And this is the thing, you know,

2:34:50

measured twice cut once. This is the,

2:34:52

like, this is kind of... crazy that

2:34:54

that could be possible that's horrific and

2:34:57

that's again that's bad for the cause

2:34:59

like the causes let's get the gang

2:35:01

members out everybody agrees but what's not

2:35:03

innocent gay hairdressers get lumped up with

2:35:06

the gangs and then like how long

2:35:08

before that guy can get out like

2:35:10

can we can we figure out how

2:35:12

to get him out does ever is

2:35:15

there any plan in place to alert

2:35:17

the authorities that they've made a horrible

2:35:19

mistake and correct it well if you

2:35:21

think about it from a government perspective

2:35:24

and this is where I think it

2:35:26

gets quite sinister The incentive structure is

2:35:28

never going to be to admit that

2:35:30

and deal with it. The incentive structure

2:35:33

is to say nothing, to cover it

2:35:35

up, to pretend it didn't happen. Right?

2:35:37

So someone ends up in a black

2:35:39

hole, but we've seen it. that like

2:35:42

we've seen it in every country including

2:35:44

in america but that's the thing about

2:35:46

politics right never admit your fault never

2:35:48

admit your wrong is so dumb and

2:35:50

this is the thing we're seeing with

2:35:53

the signal thing and this is the

2:35:55

thing we're seeing with this it's like

2:35:57

i don't know if it's been brought

2:35:59

to their attention i mean i would

2:36:02

assume someone's alerted them to the fact

2:36:04

that they might have rounded up this

2:36:06

just random hairdresser and accused him of

2:36:08

being a gang member did you find

2:36:11

a story Jamie is it's like what

2:36:13

steps can be taken does this prison

2:36:15

know now does everybody can they talk

2:36:17

to that guy that can they pull

2:36:20

him out of there well well this

2:36:22

is it it's a maximum security it's

2:36:24

a maximum security prison so the answer

2:36:26

I think is we don't know at

2:36:29

this moment but what is his lifelike

2:36:31

in there man I mean yeah it's

2:36:33

horrific But this is also a part,

2:36:35

a large part of why this happened

2:36:38

is because of illegal immigration. So you

2:36:40

had this, and look, I'm half Venezuelan,

2:36:42

you had Trinidad Agua, which causes chaos

2:36:44

in Venezuela, it comes to the US,

2:36:47

it causes horrendous amounts of chaos in

2:36:49

the US, and it causes horrendous amounts

2:36:51

of chaos in the US, and that's

2:36:53

awful. But also as well is in

2:36:55

ordinary decent hard work in Venezuela, so

2:36:58

all they want to do, their entire

2:37:00

country has gone to shit. Who have

2:37:02

come here legally, they want to work,

2:37:04

they want to get ahead, They just

2:37:07

have got families, they're trying to make

2:37:09

ends meet. And all of a sudden,

2:37:11

all you hear is Venezuelan does this,

2:37:13

Venezuelan does that. And you're like, oh

2:37:16

my God, man, you know, it ties

2:37:18

all of us with that brush. I

2:37:20

was walking in New York and I

2:37:22

saw this group of this Venezuelan family

2:37:25

and they were there begging for money

2:37:27

and for whatever else. And maybe it

2:37:29

just hits harder because, you know, they're

2:37:31

from where I'm from or where my

2:37:34

mum's from. and you just go, it

2:37:36

just tarnishes all of us with the

2:37:38

same brush. When the reality is, like

2:37:40

we were saying before, most of them

2:37:43

of just good, decent, hard-working people. But

2:37:45

because you don't have checks and balances

2:37:47

in place, because you're not letting people,

2:37:49

you're not vetting people, you're getting the

2:37:52

worst of society, and the worst of

2:37:54

society gives everybody else a bad name.

2:37:56

Gives everybody a bad name, but also,

2:37:58

you have to wonder why that's being

2:38:01

tolerated on purpose? and more civil unrest?

2:38:03

Is this part of your goal? Why

2:38:05

else would you do this? Why do

2:38:07

you want to disrupt society in this

2:38:09

way and allow this to take place?

2:38:12

Allow the possibility of some sort of

2:38:14

a gang attack or anything horrible to

2:38:16

happen. What is this, Cheney? Oh, this

2:38:18

is it? There's one in Forbes as

2:38:21

well Jamie. This is from Florida magazine.

2:38:23

A photojournalist was on hand in El

2:38:25

Salvador as prison guards beat a man

2:38:27

who is likely to be Andy. A

2:38:30

gay Venezuelan barber makeup artist who is

2:38:32

seemingly falsely accused of being a gang

2:38:34

member and rendition by the Trump administration

2:38:36

with literally no due process. So do

2:38:39

they have a photograph that looks like

2:38:41

this guy with a young man sobbed

2:38:43

when a guard pushed him to the

2:38:45

floor? He said I'm not a gang

2:38:48

member. I'm gay. I'm a barber. I

2:38:50

believed him. He began to whimper as

2:38:52

his head was roughly shaved, folding his

2:38:54

hands in prayer, as his hair fell.

2:38:57

He asked for his mother and cried

2:38:59

as he was slapped again. Jesus Christ.

2:39:01

I sent you the Forbes story, John.

2:39:03

If you can forward it to Jamie,

2:39:06

maybe he can pull it up. Yeah.

2:39:08

Sure. And it... Yeah. Yeah, it's um,

2:39:10

it's just, you know, it's it's awful

2:39:12

that, you know, because you put yourself

2:39:14

in that person's shoes. And what's terrifying

2:39:17

about that is that you think about

2:39:19

what that poor guy is going through.

2:39:21

Yeah. You know, if this story is

2:39:23

real, what that guy is going through,

2:39:26

that is literally the stuff of nightmares.

2:39:28

That's literally the stuff of nightmares. You

2:39:30

have no recourse to any type of

2:39:32

justice. There's no due process. You get

2:39:35

rounded up. You then get kicked out

2:39:37

of the country. You're in a maximum

2:39:39

security prison with some of the most

2:39:41

vicious gang members. What to know about

2:39:44

Andrew, 31-year-old makeup artist, falsely deported to

2:39:46

El Salvador, prison lawyer says. Immigration attorney

2:39:48

say a gay Venezuelan makeup artist seeking

2:39:50

asylum in the US was wrongly detained

2:39:53

as a gang member and deported to

2:39:55

El Salvador, a case becoming a flashpoint

2:39:57

in the debate over the Trump administration's

2:39:59

deportation of hundreds of migrants. to a

2:40:02

notoriously inhumane El Salvador mega prison. So

2:40:04

again, it's hard to know. Yes, it's

2:40:06

hard to know. What's real and what's

2:40:08

not real, but if it is real,

2:40:11

this is fucking horrible. But if you

2:40:13

think about a joke, like I say,

2:40:15

if you're rounding up hundreds of people,

2:40:17

mistakes are going to get made because

2:40:19

every human. And you then have to

2:40:22

have a system, I think, that allows

2:40:24

you to amend. and make adjustments for

2:40:26

that. Yeah, absolutely. And it can't be,

2:40:28

bury your head in the sand. No.

2:40:31

And pretend it didn't happen. No. Yeah.

2:40:33

And this is the trouble with government.

2:40:35

The incentive structure is all wrong. Like

2:40:37

to admit that is now embarrassing. That's

2:40:40

crazy. Right. And it's scary. We have

2:40:42

the same problem in the UK in

2:40:44

terms of the illegal immigration. And if

2:40:46

we ever get a government that's going

2:40:49

to deal with that, we're also going

2:40:51

to have to remove a lot of

2:40:53

people who are. They're way more likely

2:40:55

to commit sexual crimes, way more likely

2:40:58

to commit violent crimes, they're way more

2:41:00

likely to commit all sorts of crimes.

2:41:02

We are going to have to remove

2:41:04

them, but you have to do it

2:41:07

in a way where there's due process

2:41:09

and a respect for them. Are they

2:41:11

trying to remove them in England? No.

2:41:13

No. They are saying they are, but

2:41:16

they're not removing them. Interesting. Yeah. So

2:41:18

the mistakes like that have to be

2:41:20

corrected if you want reasonable people to

2:41:22

be on board with you. Correct. Yeah,

2:41:25

correct. You know, compassionate people to be

2:41:27

on board with you, you can't deport

2:41:29

gay hairdressers or seeking asylum, that's fucking

2:41:31

crazy. And then throw him in an

2:41:33

else outdoor prison. That's... That's not even

2:41:36

his country. Right. You deport people back

2:41:38

to their country. Right. It's nuts. It's

2:41:40

just... What was the story with the

2:41:42

student that got arrested for writing an

2:41:45

op-ed piece? Is that the Kaleo guy

2:41:47

or? No, the woman. Is that the

2:41:49

girl from the Korean girl from, is

2:41:51

that the Korean girl from Columbia University?

2:41:54

I don't know. That's a different one.

2:41:56

There's so many of them. There was

2:41:58

a woman who got arrested for writing

2:42:00

some sort of a thing. This is

2:42:03

a Turkish student at Tufts University. Latest

2:42:05

Palestinian support. swept up in U.S. crackdown.

2:42:07

Right. What did she get arrested for?

2:42:09

Have you seen this one? No. I

2:42:12

saw her, but I haven't delved into

2:42:14

it. Joe, sorry, could have the light

2:42:16

please? Yeah, sure. Thank you. She engaged

2:42:18

in activities in support of Hamas, a

2:42:21

foreign terrorist organization that relishes the killing

2:42:23

of Americans. But the department did not

2:42:25

provide evidence of that support. Right. What

2:42:27

does that mean? I heard she wrote

2:42:30

some peace. on Israel. Yeah. I don't

2:42:32

know what the law of that is

2:42:34

because she's not an American national. Right.

2:42:36

But instinctively I'm just like that's that's

2:42:38

that's a lot that's like crazy. I

2:42:41

think she's been in America though since

2:42:43

she was seven. Right. Is has she?

2:42:45

I believe so. I thought she had

2:42:47

a student visa. I think she's been

2:42:50

in America since she was very young.

2:42:52

I think that's one of the things

2:42:54

that I had read. Okay. She'd previously

2:42:56

been arrested in April 24 for taking

2:42:59

taking part. Yeah. Taking part of protest

2:43:01

at Columbia University. So it seems like

2:43:03

they're really trying to crack down at

2:43:05

some of these Columbia protests, right? And

2:43:08

I'm in two minds about that because

2:43:10

I think on a free speech basis,

2:43:12

unless I don't know the law. Just

2:43:14

for clear, that was a second person.

2:43:17

Second person. Oh, this is a second

2:43:19

person that was arrested? Second, oh, second

2:43:21

pro-Palestinian, Columbia University protester. Okay, so this

2:43:23

second person has been arrested before. And

2:43:26

cry. Yeah. Are we

2:43:28

really arresting people for protesting or

2:43:30

are they protesting and also causing

2:43:32

vandalism and violence? What are we

2:43:34

saying? We don't know, right? But

2:43:36

I think there's, the legal thing

2:43:38

from what I've read is very

2:43:40

complicated because if someone is not

2:43:42

a US national, they may be

2:43:44

subject to different rules or they

2:43:46

may not. I think that's a

2:43:48

kind of live debate. But from

2:43:50

a purely principles perspective, someone being

2:43:52

arrested for writing an article seems

2:43:54

extreme. 30-year-old was arrested and physically

2:43:56

restrained by immigration officers near her

2:43:58

apartment close to Tufts University. Somerville,

2:44:00

Somerville campus, where she was a

2:44:02

PhD student. Six plainclothes officers surrounded,

2:44:04

how do you say that name?

2:44:06

Ostirk. Ostirk. Ostirk. Ostirk. As she

2:44:08

walked alone, neighborhood surveillance video appears

2:44:11

to show the officers did not

2:44:13

show their badges until she was

2:44:15

restrained, the video shows. She affiliated

2:44:17

with prestigious American universities to

2:44:19

be arrested for purported

2:44:21

activities related to terrorist

2:44:24

organizations amid the Trump

2:44:26

administration's immigration crackdown. So what

2:44:28

did she say, though? Like, she engaged

2:44:30

in activities in support of her mass,

2:44:32

but what does that mean? Right, without

2:44:34

specifying what those alleged activities were. Yeah,

2:44:37

this is scary shit. Yeah, yeah, you

2:44:39

know, especially if it's just protesting. I

2:44:41

mean, I don't know, you know, look, the counter

2:44:43

argument on this, and I think it's

2:44:46

one that I as someone who visits the

2:44:48

United States also feel is like, I don't

2:44:50

think the United States would have given this

2:44:52

person a visa if she had told them

2:44:54

this is what she plans to do in

2:44:57

America in America. Right? So that's their argument.

2:44:59

That's the argument that Mark Aruba is making,

2:45:01

which is if we'd known you were going

2:45:03

to do this, we were never going to

2:45:05

give you a visa. Right. I don't think

2:45:08

this is the one that I'm thinking about

2:45:10

that was here since she was seven. No,

2:45:12

that's a Korean go at Columbia University, Joe.

2:45:14

Oh, okay. And they're talking about deporting

2:45:16

her, but I don't know enough about

2:45:18

that. And what did she done? She

2:45:20

committed vandalism or... I don't know enough

2:45:22

about it. Jamie, if you get it

2:45:24

up, then we can have a look

2:45:26

at it. But that's the one you're

2:45:28

thinking of, the girl who've been here

2:45:30

since she was seven is a

2:45:33

Columbia student. This girl also with

2:45:35

a Columbia. Says he got a master's

2:45:37

degree at Columbia. Yeah. Interesting.

2:45:40

So Columbia is the hotbed. Seems

2:45:42

like that. Yeah. I wonder why? Why particularly

2:45:44

Columbia? Well, there have been

2:45:47

a lot of protestsan protest

2:45:49

in Columbia. There she is. Yeah,

2:45:51

that's the

2:45:53

go. You know,

2:45:56

we're rapidly approaching

2:45:59

the time where America and the

2:46:01

UK are going to have a pretty

2:46:03

uncomfortable debate as to what is acceptable

2:46:06

and what is unacceptable when it comes

2:46:08

to dealing with people who come here

2:46:10

illegally, people who commit... crime or even

2:46:12

if they attend protests, where is the

2:46:14

line? Because we're going to have to

2:46:17

make a decision. Because until we do

2:46:19

that and we start to actually apply

2:46:21

the law as it's meant to be

2:46:23

applied and put certain laws in place,

2:46:26

then these type of things are just

2:46:28

going to continue to happen. 100% especially

2:46:30

if someone wants them to happen. Because

2:46:32

that's my fear is that a lot

2:46:34

of these things are paid for and

2:46:37

organized, including a lot of these protests

2:46:39

at universities. I think they're doing it

2:46:41

on purpose. And I think they're trying

2:46:43

to build up a lot of passion

2:46:46

in these people for being disruptive and

2:46:48

a lot of passion for protest and

2:46:50

passion for it. And then they weaponize

2:46:52

it. I really do. I believe that's

2:46:54

exactly what they did with the Tesla

2:46:57

buildings, with all the Tesla dealerships being

2:46:59

light on fire. They weaponized it. And

2:47:01

it's a good test run. You know,

2:47:03

if they can weaponize it against Tesla,

2:47:05

they can do that with a lot

2:47:08

of other things to justify that kind

2:47:10

of vandalism and fire and arson and

2:47:12

all the chaos and property destruction. I

2:47:14

went to UCLA campus. This was May

2:47:17

last year and I went to a

2:47:19

pro- Palestine demonstration and I just... went

2:47:21

around just interviewing people talking to students

2:47:23

and both on pro Palestine and the

2:47:25

other side and one thing one of

2:47:28

the kids said to me was as

2:47:30

he was trying to get into the

2:47:32

library he was like you know most

2:47:34

of the people who were doing this

2:47:37

they're not from UCLA they're not from

2:47:39

this college campus right what are they

2:47:41

doing here right he goes look for

2:47:43

enough if you want to protest and

2:47:45

you go to UCLA that's all cool

2:47:48

whatever Number one, don't stop me from

2:47:50

getting an education when my parents have

2:47:52

paid X amount for it, but number

2:47:54

two, like he pointed at one of

2:47:57

the dudes, he was like, that guy's

2:47:59

about 42. I know he doesn't go

2:48:01

to... my college. Why is he here

2:48:03

protesting? It's being paid. Yeah and you're

2:48:05

right and there are a lot of

2:48:08

foreign governments that want this shit to

2:48:10

be going on. 100% and there's a

2:48:12

lot of bots online that want this

2:48:14

to be. There's a lot of, there's

2:48:17

a lot of like momentum that pushes

2:48:19

things into these directions. These are not

2:48:21

organic. Just like Bernie Sanders rally numbers

2:48:23

aren't organic. Like these are not organic.

2:48:25

There's a narrow, I mean that was

2:48:28

during the Kamala Harris administration or during

2:48:30

the campaign rather. You saw these inorganic

2:48:32

moments where they filled these arenas with

2:48:34

people that were paid. And they spent

2:48:37

how many billion. two billion dollars over

2:48:39

the course of three months to do

2:48:41

this and it failed but it's like

2:48:43

you're manufacturing this this passion manufacturing this

2:48:45

movement and a lot of people are

2:48:48

dumb and it works on them yeah

2:48:50

like you know no like I'm sure

2:48:52

you saw that lady who is like

2:48:54

bragging about buying champagne and making fun

2:48:57

of the guy selling her the champagne

2:48:59

because he wasted his vote on Trump

2:49:01

and I'm buying champagne to toast madam

2:49:03

president it's she's gonna win women have

2:49:05

come to the like they've really believed

2:49:08

it like because they gas lit people

2:49:10

so hard with their filled arenas and

2:49:12

all the news coverage on CNN and

2:49:14

MS NBC and the The polls are

2:49:17

showing, the polls are showing, and it's

2:49:19

going to be, it's going to be,

2:49:21

it's going to be, it's going to

2:49:23

be, they're, they just gaslit the whole

2:49:25

country. And this is what happened with

2:49:28

all that work cancellation stuff as well,

2:49:30

where it was a very small number

2:49:32

of people who made themselves look a

2:49:34

lot bigger online in order to then

2:49:37

get companies to back down, in order

2:49:39

to get other organizations who were just

2:49:41

scared of the bad attention to back

2:49:43

down. I look at a lot of

2:49:45

stuff that happens on social media, I'm

2:49:48

going, there's no fucking way that has

2:49:50

got 80,000 likes organically. That is, there's

2:49:52

not, that's not real. You know? It's

2:49:54

hard to say what's real and what's

2:49:56

not real. And until you take that

2:49:59

chip in your head... you're not going

2:50:01

to know. That's why you need to

2:50:03

sign up for the neural link program.

2:50:05

Yeah. It's one of the things that

2:50:08

I'm really hopefully Elon can solve with

2:50:10

X is just that was one of

2:50:12

the things he said when he took

2:50:14

over we need to deal with the

2:50:16

Bob problem. I think there's more to

2:50:19

do on that front for sure. There's

2:50:21

a lot more to do and I

2:50:23

don't know what they can actually do

2:50:25

because with AI. I mean, you can

2:50:28

have like really sophisticated programs that tweet

2:50:30

as if they are from Afghanistan, tweet

2:50:32

as if they're from wherever they are

2:50:34

in the world. They can do it

2:50:36

in different languages. It can all be

2:50:39

done with AI now and they can

2:50:41

argue specific points. Like, you know, this

2:50:43

guy is a Nazi. Go out there

2:50:45

and say it and prompt it. And

2:50:48

then all of sudden, you've got, looks

2:50:50

like groundswell of support calling Elon Muskinazi

2:50:52

Nazi. And then a bunch of people

2:50:54

hop on to that. and they think

2:50:56

it's organic and they think that like

2:50:59

these Tesla these people are fed up

2:51:01

that's why they're going to the Tesla's

2:51:03

dealerships no they're getting they're being paid

2:51:05

and they're trying to crash the stock

2:51:08

of Tesla they're trying to put people

2:51:10

in the panic mode so that it

2:51:12

puts pressure on Elon to drop Doge

2:51:14

like this is what's going on like

2:51:16

and you're watching it's this organic moment

2:51:19

it's a puppet show you're watching a

2:51:21

puppet show and that's the thing that

2:51:23

you know that really worries I think

2:51:25

everybody at the moment is is At

2:51:28

a very basic fundamental level, I don't

2:51:30

know what's real and what's not. No,

2:51:32

I don't either. I wish I did.

2:51:34

Because people think I do. Like, oh,

2:51:36

you have inside information. I don't have

2:51:39

any. Zero. I don't know what's going

2:51:41

on. But people, but I think we

2:51:43

all need to understand, you to a

2:51:45

greater extent, us to a lesser extent.

2:51:48

Like, we're not real people to people

2:51:50

online. We're just avatars. Right. And then

2:51:52

they imbue us with this knowledge that

2:51:54

we've got this knowledge that we can

2:51:56

see things. They're controlled opposition. Oh, we

2:51:59

are so bad. We get that so

2:52:01

much. It's hilarious. That is the, that's

2:52:03

where people that are just a little

2:52:05

too smart to believe the Earth is

2:52:08

flat. They'll go with... opposition but it's

2:52:10

just they just don't know like if

2:52:12

you're on the outside looking in like

2:52:14

if you're looking at Tom Hanks in

2:52:16

his house I must be a pedophile

2:52:19

to get that house you know what

2:52:21

I mean like everybody on the outside

2:52:23

of like people that are which you

2:52:25

know with a guy like Tom Hanks

2:52:28

is essentially like a kind of royalty

2:52:30

like a movie star royalty like that

2:52:32

class of celebrity is like almost beyond

2:52:34

and so they don't seem like normal

2:52:36

people to you they go to that

2:52:39

eyes wide shut party and drink baby

2:52:41

blood and like there's all these bizarre

2:52:43

things attributed to those people and they're

2:52:45

in control of the narrative and they're

2:52:48

but there's some people that really are

2:52:50

in control of the narrative. There's some

2:52:52

people that really are like CIA agents

2:52:54

that are on TV shows, you know,

2:52:56

that's real. There's like people that have

2:52:59

worked for the CIA that are now

2:53:01

on television telling you what the news

2:53:03

is. If that doesn't seem fucking crazy,

2:53:05

you know, it's just we're going through

2:53:07

a bizarre period of... being bombarded with

2:53:10

constant information having unprecedented access to each

2:53:12

other and information and also watching all

2:53:14

the powers that be try to snatch

2:53:16

up more and more control over society.

2:53:19

We're watching it play out in real

2:53:21

time and we're concentrating on girls and

2:53:23

sports and whether or not this is

2:53:25

really, should gay people still be able

2:53:27

to get married? It's all bullshit. You're

2:53:30

just watching more and more power. be

2:53:32

acquired by the people with the most

2:53:34

amount of money. Yeah, and that's why

2:53:36

people like Jeff Basos buy with the

2:53:39

Washington Post. Well, at least he turned

2:53:41

it around and said lately that they're

2:53:43

going to have to stop with all

2:53:45

these left-wing opinion pieces and just post

2:53:47

about the news. Yeah. You know, which

2:53:50

everybody's freaking out. Because they really think

2:53:52

they have like a mandate to be

2:53:54

like the moral voice of the world,

2:53:56

which is so hilarious. I agree with...

2:53:59

That is good, but do you think

2:54:01

any journalist is going to be allowed

2:54:03

to write a piece about Amazon

2:54:05

criticizing them? I doubt it. Well, I wouldn't do

2:54:07

it. If I worked there, I'd shut my fucking

2:54:09

mouth. I want to buy a house. Try to

2:54:12

buy a house. Yeah. I can't, I get it,

2:54:14

yeah, they should get more money, whatever. And

2:54:16

that comes back to our Lord

2:54:18

of the Rings conversation because even

2:54:21

well-intentioned people who are doing things

2:54:23

that we might like. Right. Right. Well, and

2:54:25

so AI comes along and equally distributes all

2:54:27

the money. So once it's AI. Boys, let's

2:54:29

wrap this up. I appreciate you both very

2:54:32

much. It's always cool to talk to you.

2:54:34

I'm happy you visit often, and I'm glad

2:54:36

you're having a good time over here, and

2:54:38

I hope you get your fucking shit together

2:54:40

with your country, because... Come all know.

2:54:42

Can I just say one thing? Yes.

2:54:44

I've got a book out in August.

2:54:46

It's called Classroom Confidential. Is in August,

2:54:49

it's coming out? Yeah, August 18th. Have

2:54:51

you finished it? I finished it, yeah.

2:54:53

Takes that long to release a book?

2:54:55

Yeah, it does, it does, it does.

2:54:57

Particularly the printing industry in the UK,

2:54:59

yeah. So, but yeah, so it's coming

2:55:01

out, it's all about being a teacher

2:55:03

and why you should never be one.

2:55:05

And it's very funny. Beautiful. Very funny.

2:55:07

Yeah. We'll come back when so when

2:55:09

it comes out. Yeah, we'll talk again.

2:55:11

I'd love to. Um, your show trigonometry.

2:55:13

It's available everywhere. Anything else? We've both got

2:55:15

sub stacks. Yep. I've got a sub stack.

2:55:17

He's got a sub stack. Look at you

2:55:20

guys. Fuckin' writing and shit. And

2:55:22

your show is how many times

2:55:24

a week do you guys do

2:55:26

it? We put two episodes out

2:55:28

every week. So Wednesdays and Sundays

2:55:30

is interviews. Do you do like

2:55:32

sub-stacks episodes, like different ones, or

2:55:34

Patreoners? So yeah, on our sub-stacks,

2:55:37

on the trigonometry sub-stack, you get

2:55:39

to hear the guest answer your

2:55:41

questions, so people sending questions ahead

2:55:43

of time. That's cool. Well, that's

2:55:45

cool. Well, we're always thinking about

2:55:47

is how do we offer... people

2:55:49

who support us extra value because unlike the

2:55:52

people on the internet who say we're controlled

2:55:54

opposition paid by blah blah blah we're actually

2:55:56

just paid by our fans that's actually a

2:55:58

very good idea though to let the The

2:56:00

fans actually have questions too, too. I think those are

2:56:02

fine ones. ones. A lot of them are

2:56:04

good ones, and what we often do

2:56:06

as well is we look through them

2:56:08

before the interview, and if we can't

2:56:10

get them in at the end, can't get

2:56:12

and incorporate them into the discussion try and

2:56:15

beautiful. them into the discussion. Oh, both very much, Okay. Appreciate

2:56:17

you. See you very much. Always. Thanks. Thanks. Bye

2:56:19

everybody. Bye. Bye.

2:56:22

Bye. Bye.
