Joe Rogan Experience #1465 - Tim Pool

1. 0:00 – 15:00

   Oh. Three, two, one.…

   1. JRJoe Rogan0:00

      Oh. Three, two, one. Tim Pool, you madman.

   2. TPTim Pool0:03

      How's it going?

   3. JRJoe Rogan0:04

      Dude, the ride that you made to get here. You drove from the other side of the continent-

   4. TPTim Pool0:09

      I just-

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:10

      ... in a Bug Out van.

   6. TPTim Pool0:11

      Well, I mean, you, you, you've had guests on who've driven here. You know what I mean? I drove here.

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:14

      You drove here.

   8. TPTim Pool0:15

      Yeah, yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:15

      But it took four days.

   10. TPTim Pool0:16

       It took four days.

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:17

       It's a different kinda drive.

   12. TPTim Pool0:18

       (laughs)

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:18

       Have you ever done that before?

   14. TPTim Pool0:19

       Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Not in the van. But, uh, I've driven around the country t- too many times.

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:25

       The van's pretty dope.

   16. TPTim Pool0:26

       Yeah.

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:26

       I, I, I'm, I'm impressed.

   18. TPTim Pool0:27

       I told you last year-

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:28

       Yes.

   20. TPTim Pool0:28

       ... I was getting a van, and I got a bunch of people on Twitter making fun of me, like, "Ew, he's gonna get a Bug Out van, he's crazy." I got a van.

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:35

       You got a Bug Out van.

   22. TPTim Pool0:36

       It is awesome.

   23. JRJoe Rogan0:36

       Like, you could live in that thing.

   24. TPTim Pool0:37

       Oh, totally, dude. The s- the s- the solar power on it-

   25. JRJoe Rogan0:40

       Yeah.

   26. TPTim Pool0:40

       ... lasts you forever.

   27. JRJoe Rogan0:41

       That's pretty amazing. I didn't know that you could power everything. So you have a solar power roof panels that is ... Is it less effective in, like, Jersey where it's cloudy right now, you know-

   28. TPTim Pool0:51

       Oh, totally, totally.

   29. JRJoe Rogan0:52

       ... summertime?

   30. TPTim Pool0:52

       Yeah.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   Right. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan15:00

      it's-

   2. TPTim Pool15:00

      Right.

   3. JRJoe Rogan15:00

      You could kinda trace it. It's, uh, it's very disturbing. And when we're talking about deaths, we're talking about just something that we can immediately deal with, it's right in front of us, it's a disease that's happening right now, go after it, stop it. But the secondary reaction to that, in fact, because you're closing the economy, might wind up killing as many people as you're trying to avoid being killing in the long run.

   4. TPTim Pool15:23

      Or more.

   5. JRJoe Rogan15:23

      Yeah, or more.

   6. TPTim Pool15:23

      It just depends on ... Yeah, so like-

   7. JRJoe Rogan15:24

      I don't know.

   8. TPTim Pool15:25

      They, the UN s- the, the big story on the UN was that their advisor said 235 million starving, you know, in the next year or so unless things kick back into gear.

   9. JRJoe Rogan15:35

      Well, hopefully they are gonna kick back into gear. California's supposed to open up on May 15th, but the governor's been ... I don't, I don't know if he enjoys it, but it seems like, he seems like they, they definitely are comfortable with being the person they get to say-

   10. TPTim Pool15:51

       Yeah.

   11. JRJoe Rogan15:51

       ... "This is shut down and we're gonna keep it shut down."

   12. TPTim Pool15:54

       Dude, the, the authoritarianism is scary.

   13. JRJoe Rogan15:56

       It's weird. They're arresting-

   14. TPTim Pool15:57

       The pow- the-

   15. JRJoe Rogan15:57

       ... people for fucking going to the park with their kids.

   16. TPTim Pool15:59

       Yup. You see that tweet from the UK where they posted the shadows of the two cops? And it was like, "Think going into a rural area to have a picnic is y- you'll get away with it? We're gonna look out of the shadows and find you."

   17. JRJoe Rogan16:10

       No way.

   18. TPTim Pool16:10

       I swear to God. Yeah, yeah, it went viral.

   19. JRJoe Rogan16:12

       Oh, God. What? (laughs)

   20. TPTim Pool16:13

       "You're in the middle of nowhere having a picnic?"

   21. JRJoe Rogan16:14

       (gasps)

   22. TPTim Pool16:14

       "Go for it." Th- th- here's the thing, man. They told-

   23. JRJoe Rogan16:16

       That's fucking China shit, you know?

   24. TPTim Pool16:18

       Totally.

   25. JRJoe Rogan16:18

       Like th- that, that is like ... Fuck, man.

   26. TPTim Pool16:21

       Well, now there's another story. Bill Gates apparently said, you know, China did a bunch of things right. And now, now what, what they're doing is they're taking that quote and they're putting it next to pictures of them welding doors shut and barricading people in their homes.

   27. JRJoe Rogan16:31

       And then him hanging out with Epstein?

   28. TPTim Pool16:33

       Oh, probably.

   29. JRJoe Rogan16:33

       That's the, the latest thing-

   30. TPTim Pool16:35

       Yeah.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   A name? …

   1. TPTim Pool30:00

   2. JRJoe Rogan30:00

      A name?

   3. TPTim Pool30:00

      If I say a name right now-

   4. JRJoe Rogan30:02

      Candy Man?

   5. TPTim Pool30:03

      ... this, this video will be pulled from YouTube. Did you know that?

   6. JRJoe Rogan30:07

      Really?

   7. TPTim Pool30:08

      I can say one guy's name. And he's a-

   8. JRJoe Rogan30:09

      Alex Jones?

   9. TPTim Pool30:10

      No. I'm not ... Don't, don't say it. If you know who it is, don't say it. I'm not gonna say it.

   10. JRJoe Rogan30:13

       What does it start with?

   11. TPTim Pool30:15

       I don't think I should even do that.

   12. JRJoe Rogan30:16

       Really?

   13. TPTim Pool30:17

       I've had my video taken down and I've been told that, so-

   14. JRJoe Rogan30:19

       Write it down. Here, write it down for me.

   15. TPTim Pool30:20

       You sure?

   16. JRJoe Rogan30:21

       Yeah, write it down.

   17. TPTim Pool30:22

       Yeah.

   18. JRJoe Rogan30:22

       Just write it down.

   19. TPTim Pool30:24

       If you say this name, your video will be taken down. They've taken down C-SPAN.

   20. JRJoe Rogan30:28

       What?

   21. TPTim Pool30:28

       They've taken down Fox News.

   22. JRJoe Rogan30:29

       Really?

   23. TPTim Pool30:30

       I, I, so-

   24. JRJoe Rogan30:31

       Is it Hitler?

   25. TPTim Pool30:32

       No. I'm warning you not to say this name.

   26. JRJoe Rogan30:34

       Uh, the company's been, uh, unsuspended, if you will. Unsuspended. I don't know the word for that. So yeah, so somebody probably fucked up. It was probably a kid that didn't-

   27. TPTim Pool30:43

       My handwriting is awful.

   28. JRJoe Rogan30:44

       That's okay.

   29. TPTim Pool30:45

       Do not say that name. I'm not kidding with you, man. Do not say that name.

   30. JRJoe Rogan30:49

       I don't even know who that is.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Right. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan45:00

      all that kinda shit. They're, they're really concerned that this does have some sort of effect on human beings. They think that, in fact, cellphone signals have an effect on bees.

   2. TPTim Pool45:09

      Right.

   3. JRJoe Rogan45:09

      And that was one of the primary theories about the drop in bee populations.

   4. TPTim Pool45:12

      Yeah, colony collapse.

   5. JRJoe Rogan45:13

      Yeah, th- these cellphone signals are interfering with these bees' ability to communicate. But to say that it's the fucking coronavirus, like, Jesus Christ.

   6. TPTim Pool45:22

      (laughs)

   7. JRJoe Rogan45:22

      And then someone had a meme, little, little Duvall had a meme that he put up on his, uh, Instagram, and I retweeted it. "5G's only in five countries, you fucks."

   8. TPTim Pool45:29

      Right.

   9. JRJoe Rogan45:29

      "This goddamn-

   10. TPTim Pool45:30

       Amazing.

   11. JRJoe Rogan45:30

       ... shit has spread across the whole world, and you really think it's 5G?" It's they... I believe YouTube has to step in and they have to do something when shit like that is so egregious and so preposterous. So, the question is-

   12. TPTim Pool45:41

       That-

   13. JRJoe Rogan45:41

       ... where do they draw that line? If, it would be nice if they could watch all your videos and say, "Oh, well, Tim-

   14. TPTim Pool45:46

       They-

   15. JRJoe Rogan45:46

       ... Pool's a really reasonable guy."

   16. TPTim Pool45:47

       They do.

   17. JRJoe Rogan45:48

       Okay, but-

   18. TPTim Pool45:49

       Yeah.

   19. JRJoe Rogan45:49

       ... do they? Do they really?

   20. TPTim Pool45:50

       No, it... Yeah, they do. Do they really?

   21. JRJoe Rogan45:51

       They literally do.

   22. TPTim Pool45:51

       You have a guy who's doing that-

   23. JRJoe Rogan45:52

       I do, yes.

   24. TPTim Pool45:53

       ... who is 100% dedicated to watching everything you do. You put out-

   25. JRJoe Rogan45:56

       Yeah.

   26. TPTim Pool45:56

       ... a lot of fucking content.

   27. JRJoe Rogan45:58

       I, I do. I mean-

   28. TPTim Pool45:58

       How much content do you put out every day?

   29. JRJoe Rogan45:59

       So, uh-

   30. TPTim Pool46:00

       If you had to guess, on an average.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:04:37

   Mm-hmm. …

   1. TPTim Pool1:00:00

      I go on the front... I, I go, I open Reddit and I'm s- browsing through it, and I see these comments from people that clearly do not understand what's going on with these protests, that people who want the economy to reopen, and I try and talk to my friends about it, and it seems like they're trapped because I think... You know, it's like you were mentioning how people drift towards what gets them the most love.

   2. JRJoe Rogan1:00:16

      Mm-hmm.

   3. TPTim Pool1:00:17

      But now it's not just famous people, it's not just people on social media, it's everybody who does that, and they don't want that world view broken.

   4. JRJoe Rogan1:00:23

      Well, they also don't want to lose the respect of their friends who are also subscribing to that same-

   5. TPTim Pool1:00:29

      Right.

   6. JRJoe Rogan1:00:29

      ... ideology.

   7. TPTim Pool1:00:31

      Yeah, yeah.

   8. JRJoe Rogan1:00:32

      That's a big part of it, man. If you're-

   9. TPTim Pool1:00:33

      It's, it's team politics.

   10. JRJoe Rogan1:00:34

       What? Over here in California, if you're, if you're not left-wing, if you don't, you know, just instantly when, when there's an issue, instantaneously side with the left, you get chastised. And you get called a racist or you get called a Nazi or you get called a, a Trump supporter or-

   11. TPTim Pool1:00:53

       Yep.

   12. JRJoe Rogan1:00:53

       ... you can't even have a rational perspective on things. You can't say something like, "In hindsight, it was a good idea that Donald Trump closed off travel from China because it was coming from there, and a lot of people were calling him racist. It turned out to be a good move, and then they've shut it down from a lot of different places as well." You can't say that. I mean-

   13. TPTim Pool1:01:12

       So, so yeah, right. So, uh, the first thing Trump does...... is the, the, the task force, two days later the travel ban. Joe Biden says, "The last thing we need is Trump's xenophobia." Then-

   14. JRJoe Rogan1:01:23

       Yeah.

   15. TPTim Pool1:01:23

       ... on March, I think, 12th, Trump, uh, suspends travel from Europe. Joe Biden says, "A travel ban won't stop this." April 3rd, Biden says, "Actually, Trump was right about that." Now Joe Biden's launching ads saying Trump didn't go far enough. Now Nancy Pelosi is saying Trump should've banned Americans from coming back in.

   16. JRJoe Rogan1:01:38

       Did you ever see that video where Nancy Pelosi is talking about telling people to go to Chinatown-

   17. TPTim Pool1:01:41

       Oh yeah, of course.

   18. JRJoe Rogan1:01:42

       ... in February?

   19. TPTim Pool1:01:42

       That's right.

   20. JRJoe Rogan1:01:43

       That video is fucking insane. And when they confront her on it, on Fox News, I think it was Chris Wallace on Fox News was talking to her about it, she's saying, "Well, the, the record will show-"

   21. TPTim Pool1:01:51

       Yeah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan1:01:51

       "... that I was saying don't be rude to Chinese people."

   23. TPTim Pool1:01:54

       "No, you were down there encouraging it."

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:01:55

       Yes.

   25. TPTim Pool1:01:56

       And-

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:01:56

       "The record will show." She's such an ineffective speaker. It's so bizarre that she got to a position of power, 'cause she's-

   27. TPTim Pool1:02:03

       Right.

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:02:03

       ... she's so disingenuous and so fake in the way she communicates.

   29. TPTim Pool1:02:07

       Maybe she's-

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:02:07

       Especially on those shows.
