    (drumming) Joe Rogan podcast,…

    1. PB

      (drumming) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.

    2. NA

      The Joe Rogan Experience.

    3. JR

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night. All day. (rock music) Hello, Patrick.

    4. PB

      How you doing?

    5. JR

      Very good. Uh, very nice to meet you. I enjoy your program.

    6. PB

      I appreciate that.

    7. JR

      I watch all the time.

    8. PB

      Thank you.

    9. JR

      Watch all the time on YouTube.

    10. PB

      Really?

    11. JR

      Yeah. Yeah. You're very good. Very good at interviewing people. I really enjoy, uh, your questions, the way you handle your interviews. So, I, I looked at a lot of your stuff and I was like, "I wanna talk to this guy."

    12. PB

      Very cool.

    13. JR

      So, here we are.

    14. PB

      Well, I, I've been following you for a while and I listen to everything you talk about, pretty much. So, I was telling yearly how necessary you are. Y- you're pissing a lot of the right people off today, which is good.

    15. JR

      I'm not trying. I'm not trying to piss anybody off. Just being me.

    16. PB

      We're glad you are.

    17. JR

      Oh, thank you.

    18. PB

      I know you're just being yourself, but we're glad you are.

    19. JR

      Well, thank you very much.

    20. PB

      Yeah.

    21. JR

      I'm glad you are out there too. W- the world needs, uh, strong voices, you know? People who have, uh, character and discipline and people who have carved their way through this life. It's important. It's an important thing for young people, in particular, to see coming up that you can be a person of character and discipline and you can get far in this business with drive. And you can get far in life with drive, in all businesses really.

    22. PB

      Do you think people can miss that? Like do you think people can, uh ... Maybe that was valued 50 years ago but not today because they're confused today? You think that can happen?

    23. JR

      I think people are still the same. There's still the- the same characteristics that make up a human being still exist, but there's pathways for excuses that exist today-

    24. PB

      Hmm.

    25. JR

      ... that didn't exist before. There's pathways for victimhood. There's like ... You can have, uh, there's credit in victimhood, social credit. And you know, "Well, I didn't get a break," or, "I didn't get this."

    26. PB

      Yeah.

    27. JR

      Or, "These rich people have that," or, "These suc- successful people have all the breaks." And there is a lot of clout in actually being a person who has, uh, been v- either denied or, uh, uh, uh, the pathways are unavailable to them so they get to bitch about it and complain about it. There's, there's a, a sense of ... Instead of dealing with the, the hand that y- you've gotten and trying to move forward in a positive way, trying to do your best-

    28. PB

      Yeah.

    29. JR

      ... with what you ... 'Cause everybody has a different starting point in life. Life is not fair in terms of like-

    30. PB

      No question.

  2. 15:0030:00

    Just, just between us,…

    1. JR

      for Joe Jorgensen, who is the Libertarian candidate. I did not v-

    2. PB

      Just, just between us, he's not a great marketer. I don't wanna, like, put it out there, but-

    3. JR

      I didn't, I didn't think she was gonna win.

    4. PB

      Yeah.

    5. JR

      I didn't think she was gonna win.

    6. PB

      Yeah. So your vote was just like, "Look-"

    7. JR

      It was like-

    8. PB

      "... it's more like a values vote. This is what I'm standing for."

    9. JR

      The Biden thing was nonsense. We all knew it was nonsense.

    10. PB

      Yeah.

    11. JR

      What's happening now is exactly what I thought was gonna happen. And w- this is what I said. I said, leading up to this, I said, "The, the, he's compromised. Like, d- he's got mental issues."

    12. PB

      Mm-hmm.

    13. JR

      I mean, we know that he had, uh, two aneurysms before. He had massive brain surgery, like very, very dangerous brain surgery.

    14. PB

      Yeah.

    15. JR

      He's got... Y- you know, he's old. 78 years old, and he's, he's not doing well. They have control of him.

    16. PB

      Yeah.

    17. JR

      They tell him questions to answer. He's been pretty open about it, unfortunately.

    18. PB

      81 million people disagree with you. He was the most popular president of all time. I mean, you have to realize. Like, bigger than Kennedy, bigger than Reagan. Reagan won 49 out of 50 states. That's a-

    19. JR

      I think 81 million people didn't want Trump to be president anymore.

    20. PB

      Got it.

    21. JR

      I think that's what it was.

    22. PB

      You think, you think that's what-

    23. JR

      Yes.

    24. PB

      So they're voting against.

    25. JR

      Yeah. Yeah, I think, uh, a lot of people would've won if they were in that position. I don't think it was Joe Biden that won. I think Tulsi Gabbard would've probably won. I think, uh, I don't think we-

    26. PB

      Against him?

    27. JR

      Bernie Sanders would've been a tough sell because too many people equate him with communism. You know? Even though he's a, what, what he would call a Democratic Socialist, and his plan to implement taxes, where it's, it's really... What his big plan was, was a very small percentage of trades, like, uh, you know, these, uh, speculations that, uh, stock market-

    28. PB

      Yeah.

    29. JR

      ... stock brokers do. Th- this, this very small percentage, less than a, a penny per trade, and that it was all gonna, you know, equate to a large amount of money. I don't know if that's... You would be the guy that I would talk to-

    30. PB

      Hmm. Yeah.

  3. 30:0045:00

    Crazy. …

    1. JR

      The ability to censor voices is unprecedented right now. I mean, we've never had anything like it. It's- it's one of the weirdest times ever where giant corporations have... They're- they're controlling the- the narrative. Like, they can decide. I showed you today on Instagram, the #naturalimmunity.

    2. PB

      Crazy.

    3. JR

      Have you seen this, Jamey?

    4. PB

      Crazy.

    5. JR

      Jamey, I'm gonna send this to you right now because it's- (clears throat)

    6. PB

      Absolutely crazy.

    7. JR

      It's really wild. The- the #naturalimmunity. I'm gonna share it to you right now, Jamey. I'm gonna send you this, uh, link.... this, uh, hashtag does not work on Instagram. When you click on natural immunity, it says, "Looking for vaccine info?" And then, it sends you to the CDC website. This is what you get when you're just trying to use a hashtag for natural immunity, which is a real thing. People that have recovered from COVID have a natural immunity that's not just as good as the vaccine, it's six to 13 times better according to this study out of Israel.

    8. PB

      Mm-hmm.

    9. JR

      Six to 13 times better. But if you even try to put that hashtag in on Instagram, they have decided to control the narrative.

    10. NA

      Uh, yeah. I just went to look for it, and that's what I had to-

    11. PB

      Yeah.

    12. NA

      But-

    13. PB

      So it's not even letting you go there.

    14. JR

      But did you get that... the, the, the, the text that I sent you?

    15. NA

      I, I was getting... Yeah. Okay.

    16. JR

      Go to the text that I sent you because it's an actual post. And so through the post, you can go to it and try it, which is, uh... I wonder if it works the same on a web browser as it does on a phone. Um, but let... Check it out. So if you go through the, the link that I sent you, try it.

    17. NA

      All right. It goes to the exact same thing I was just at.

    18. JR

      It's not working?

    19. NA

      It goes to this exact same thing I was at.

    20. PB

      This page isn't available. (laughs)

    21. JR

      So that's interesting because it's... But because it works on a phone, I'll do it here on my phone. So here it is. Can you see it? I'll click on it. Bam. Whoops, my fat fingers. Ha-... Natural immunity. Bam. It says, "Looking for vaccine info."

    22. PB

      And then, you click on the website...

    23. JR

      Yeah. You click, it says, "When it comes to health, everyone wants reliable, up-to-date information. Visit the website for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The website has information that can help answer questions you may have about vaccines." They... But I didn't ask about vaccines. I looked for hashtag natural immunity.

    24. NA

      When I searched for it, what does come up is natural immunity with a middle finger after it. (laughs)

    25. JR

      Well, that one does work.

    26. NA

      I know.

    27. JR

      But this one, if you, if you, you say, "Show me the hashtag anyway," it says, "This hashtag is hidden." When you click on that, it says-

    28. PB

      Yeah. You're right, it's the middle finger natural immunity, Jamie.

    29. JR

      That's... That one works.

    30. PB

      Yeah.

  4. 45:001:00:00

    Cruz. Yeah. …

    1. JR

      think there's a certain amount of party loyalty that's based upon survival. It's all d- dependent upon what they think is necessary for this stage of the game, wherever the, the pieces are in play at the moment. You know, when you've got a guy who's as polarizing as Trump and he demands loyalty and, you know, he's kind of the head of the Republican Party right now, you, you see that these people realize that the best chance for victory is to go with Trump. That's why you got guys like Marco Rubio, you got guys like Ted Cruz-

    2. PB

      Cruz. Yeah.

    3. JR

      ... that he shit all over.

    4. PB

      Yeah.

    5. JR

      Shit all over those guys.

    6. PB

      Yeah.

    7. JR

      And they still stepped in line behind him, right? That's, that's why they did it, they did it 'cause it was the best move for the game. So that was them doing it for party, that was not them doing it for God and country. That was them doing it for party.

    8. PB

      So fair enough. So here's a question for you then, who is the George Bush and the George Will of the left today?

    9. JR

      That's a good question. There's no one in the left today that excites me other than Tulsi Gabbard. There's no one that-

    10. PB

      How about Manchin? Joe Manchin?

    11. JR

      I don't know Joe Manchin.

    12. PB

      Oh, are you kidding me?

    13. JR

      Oh, I'm not kidding.

    14. PB

      You're serious?

    15. JR

      No, I don't know Joe Manchin.

    16. PB

      Oh, Joe-

    17. JR

      Do you know who Joe Manchin is?

    18. PB

      Joe-

    19. JR

      Jamie doesn't know Joe Manchin either.

    20. PB

      Joe- do you know Joe is the only guy-

    21. JR

      Who is he?

    22. PB

      Joe is the only guy that votes left. That votes, uh, uh, against the left today, and he's a Democrat.

    23. JR

      Where is he from?

    24. PB

      Can you pull him up? Joe Manchin? I wanna say Joe Manchin is a south something. Joe Manchin is a, uh...

    25. JR

      Senator of West Virginia.

    26. PB

      Senator from West Virginia, yeah. This guy is the only guy that he votes against everything they vote for. So, hey, $1.8 trillion, he says no. $3.5 trillion, he says no. Did you see what Joe Manchin told, uh, Biden told Joe Manchin last week? Can you pull up Joe- uh, what Biden told Joe Manchin on a call last year? If you wanna pull it up. I think it's earlier this year. I wanna say April, Biden, uh, call. Yeah, you'll see what he, uh... Uh... If you don't come along...

    27. JR

      Fucking ad blocker.

    28. PB

      Gotta love these guys, they want your money.

    29. JR

      Um, Biden told Senator Joe Manchin to support... What the fuck happened? Jesus Christ, it takes- Oh, okay. ... support his $1.9 trillion, uh, coronavirus stimulus package because, "If you don't come along, you're really fucking me."

    30. PB

      So this is Joe Manchin, okay? (laughs)

  5. 1:00:001:08:03

    Most likely it would've…

    1. PB

      ago, he just got his negative back from COVID. He got positive and he got pneumonia, my dad at 79. And he is okay. He's done. He's squared away. He has nothing to worry about today. Would it have been different if he didn't have the vaccine? I don't know. Okay?

    2. JR

      Most likely it would've been.

    3. PB

      Most likely would've been. So, I think-

    4. JR

      It would've been worse.

    5. PB

      ... it made sense-

    6. JR

      Yes.

    7. PB

      ... that he took the vaccine and it benefited him. A friend of mine, younger than am I 20 years, in great shape, didn't have the shot, didn't take the shot. He got vaccine, he got COVID and had pneumonia, was in a hospital for four weeks. Literally, he was hospitalized, right? Uh, for myself, I didn't take the vaccine. There's a few reasons why I haven't taken a vaccine yet. That's my only reason why I haven't taken a vaccine yet. But the biggest challenge for me is-... the conversation of being forced to take the vaccine. So Nicki Minaj, I'm sure you're kind of following this story with what's going on with Nicki Minaj-

    8. JR

      Yes. Uh, her cousin's testicles.

    9. PB

      (laughs) Her cousin's testicles, yeah-

    10. JR

      (laughs)

    11. PB

      ... in Trinidad and, and people are saying, "Are you kidding me about these testicles?" So, whether these testicles are just massive or something happened to them, or it was because of, uh, the vaccine, let's set that aside with the testicles.

    12. JR

      I've never heard of testicles swelling as a side effect.

    13. PB

      I haven't either. I've heard of other things-

    14. JR

      Yes.

    15. PB

      ... but not because the vaccine. So-

    16. JR

      Yes.

    17. PB

      So, okay. So that's that part. All right. So she goes up there and she says, "I don't wanna take it." On her live... Well, uh, y- Joe, you gotta listen to her live. It's so funny because she puts the camera and the (laughs) camera's at the ceiling.

    18. JR

      And she's just talking. Right.

    19. PB

      You never see her face. You're just talking, it's a live, right? And she says, "Let me get this straight," because, uh, she put it out there on Twitter that, "I got a call from the White House to go and have a meeting at the White House with," uh, the, the health secretary and, uh, what do you call it? With Fauci, right?

    20. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    21. PB

      Meeting with Fauci. And she said, "I would like to come, but I would like it to be live. Uh, instead of me traveling, I'd much rather not travel. Let's do a live." And they say, "Yeah, we don't mind doing it live, we just don't want it to be recorded." She says, "No, I want it to be recorded because I want my audience to see whether this is... You know, so I'm honest with the audience." They said, "Well, let us think about it." She has her PR rep on it and her agent on the call, so it's not like she's by herself. Then the White House comes back and says, "No, we never told you that you're gonna be doing this live," right? 'Cause she tweeted us and, "I got a call from White House." And she says, "Why can't I have the choice to not do it? Why can't I not have the choice?" The, the biggest contradiction for me-

    22. JR

      To not do the vaccine?

    23. PB

      I don't wanna take the vaccine.

    24. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    25. PB

      And sh- they're, they're forcing her to do it and, you know, you heard a couple of the folks from, uh, I, I don't know what it was when they came out and they said... Who was the lady that we were talking about? She says, "I got two million followers, girl. I'm not at your level with, you know, s- 22 million followers on Twitter. You know, you, you can do better, girl. You oughta be ashamed of yourself for doing this because now people are not taking the vaccine."

    26. JR

      Who said that to her?

    27. PB

      Who's, uh, Joy, uh, uh, what's her name? Um...

    28. JR

      Oh, Joy-Ann Reid.

    29. PB

      Uh, yeah, I, I, I think that's who it was.

    30. JR

      Yeah, yeah.
