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

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

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.
