(drumming) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.

The Joe Rogan Experience.
- JRJoe Rogan
Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night. All day. (rock music) Hello, Patrick.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
How you doing?
- JRJoe Rogan
Very good. Uh, very nice to meet you. I enjoy your program.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
I appreciate that.
- JRJoe Rogan
I watch all the time.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Thank you.
- JRJoe Rogan
Watch all the time on YouTube.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Really?
- JRJoe Rogan
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."
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Very cool.
- JRJoe Rogan
So, here we are.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
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.
- JRJoe Rogan
I'm not trying. I'm not trying to piss anybody off. Just being me.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
We're glad you are.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, thank you.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
I know you're just being yourself, but we're glad you are.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, thank you very much.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
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.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
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?
- JRJoe Rogan
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-
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
... 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."
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
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-
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... with what you ... 'Cause everybody has a different starting point in life. Life is not fair in terms of like-
- PBPatrick Bet-David
No question.
- 2:53 – 4:29
Marxism in universities and the rise of AOC as a political force
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Hasn't that been proven that doesn't work though? Like that's been proven, experienced multiple places and we know it doesn't work.
- JRJoe Rogan
But it's still something that's being taught in universities.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's, it's Marxism and th- like, th- that kind of leftist thinking is very common in universities. And the idea is that it hasn't been done right. And w- what you could say that would argue for that is like, well, democracy, you know what I mean, obviously the Greeks had democracy and the Romans had democracy, but it eventually fell and, and turned into a dictatorship, right? But m- America was the first legitimate democracy that actually succeeded and still exists currently, right? This ... We were the first that like sort of got it right. Maybe this could be the first socialist-
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Got it.
- JRJoe Rogan
... government that works. Maybe these young people.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Led by that noble leader.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes. Yes.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
AOC or whoever it is.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
She would be wonderful.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) Who knows?
- PBPatrick Bet-David
By the way, here's a question for you. I'm curious on what you say to this. What are the chances that she'll be president one day?
- JRJoe Rogan
Very good. Very high.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Okay. I agree.
- JRJoe Rogan
Very high.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
What's high? 20%? Like-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Okay.
- JRJoe Rogan
At least.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Okay.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. At least 20%.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
I'm with you there. Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
She's very charismatic, very intelligent. People love her. Yeah.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
She's, uh, she's creating what ... She's got like what? 12, 13 million followers on Twitter?
- JRJoe Rogan
Something like that.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
And you figure in the next 10 years, that's probably gonna be at 100 million.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
150, 200 million. And that mindset's gonna be bought by the younger generation and gradually we get to a point where somebody's gonna elect her. And if an AOC gets elected, then what happens to US?
- JRJoe Rogan
We'll find out.
- 4:29 – 6:14
How politicians get compromised: AOC, party machines, and the Obama example
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, I don't think it would ever get to be 80% taxes 'cause the people that would get her into the position to be pr- Like you're seeing compromises already, right?
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
You're seeing compromises. If you're a person who pays attention to politics, you already see that she's sort of compromising her, uh, opposition to Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and the people that are at the head of the party. They've already sort of started corrupting and making deals. Like this hard line leftism is tempered by this need to be a part of this very powerful political party. And that's kind of what happens it seems to every politician once they get into office. That's what happened to Obama, right? O- Obama was the guy that we all thought was gonna change the world. Like here you have this guy. He is this son of a single mother. He, you know, he is ... Comes from very humble beginnings.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Relatable.
- JRJoe Rogan
Very relatable.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Likable.
- JRJoe Rogan
Super likable.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Super intelligent, very articulate, and he has all this hope and change website. And i- in the website speaks very specifically about empowering whistleblowers, right? Helping whistleblowers. Meanwhile when he gets into office, one of the worst administrations ever-
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah. Ever.
- JRJoe Rogan
... at punishing whistleblowers. I mean, that's ... And then deletes that from the internet.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
What caused that though? What caused it? Did they-
- JRJoe Rogan
I think it's compromised once you get in there.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
You realize, first of all, all these ideals that you have ... If he really did have a, have those ideals, if those were real-
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... and they were not just political talking points-
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
... that allowed people to, to love him. If he really did have those ideals, once you get in there and you find out, "Mr. President, have a seat. We're gonna tell you how fucked the world really is," and they read to you all the things that are going on in the world, all the different operations that are in- currently, uh-... being underway.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
You get to see all the threats from around the globe.
- 6:14 – 9:50
Deep state dynamics, intelligence agencies, and who really holds power
- PBPatrick Bet-David
What do you think changes people more? You think it's more a guy who grows up with, let's just say, uh, uh, not money, but he's, uh, popular and he likes power, and then eventually, he has certain values and principles he lives by. Then a guy with money comes and tries to buy him, he's willing to flip. Or a person who's left alone, they go make their money and they make their independent money, they're millionaires, decamillionaires, whatever, billionaires. And then later on, a person comes in and says, "I'm gonna give you the most powerful position out there, but I want you to change your way of thinking." Which one do you think is more likely to change? I don't know if that makes sense or not. So for example, think about Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan or a John F. Kennedy or a Lincoln, let's just say, or a Trump, right? Uh, one thing those... say the three have in common, I don't know about Lincoln, but the three have in common, Reagan, John F. Kennedy, and, and, uh, and Trump, they all had money. It's not like they were struggling with women or money. Right? Reagan, you know, married Jane Wyman. John F. Kennedy, I think at the end of the day was with what, three or four women in his lifetime, whatever the number is. He's, he's been around. He's had his fun. His father set the example. He had a great time. Uh, so to him, what party has he not been invited to? Or Trump, he did what he did. Then he gets into a position of power. Then the real power people behind closed doors that let's just say you and I don't know about-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
... the quiet power people. They come in and say, "Reagan, Trump, Kennedy, I want you to change your way of thinking. Don't push Federal Reserve too much. Don't push, you know, gold standard too much. Let's change." Who's more tempted to change, the power people or the money people?
- JRJoe Rogan
I think it's... uh, I, I don't think it's that-
- PBPatrick Bet-David
You know what I'm asking, right? Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
I do, I knew, I know what you're asking, but I don't think it's that clean. You know, I don't think there's like specific categories for, for human beings. I think the variables are much more extreme. I think there's, there's... the spectrum is very broad. And a guy like JFK clearly had some very strong opinions about positive changes that he could make to this country, very dangerous opinions. Like he wanted to get rid of the CIA. He wanted to get rid of the NSA. He wanted to get, he wanted to get rid of the Federal Reserve. There's a lot of things-
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Oh, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... that JFK-
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... wanted to do that were very, very dangerous to the powers that be, what you would call, you know, the deep state. You know, every year or every four years rather, there's a new president, or at least we elect a new president, um, or they have a chance to, you know, have a second term. The people that are in power at the CIA, the FBI, all these pla-... they're in power for a long time.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
They're... that's a long time-
- PBPatrick Bet-David
No term limits-
- JRJoe Rogan
... of running.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
... for those guys.
- JRJoe Rogan
Long time of running things.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Do we know who those guys are? Do we kinda have an idea who those guys are?
- JRJoe Rogan
I wanna know.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah, really? (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
It's like Baltimore.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
You don't wanna say the name. Don't say Voldemort. Don't say it. You know, it's, I don't know, man. It's like I, I think you need intelligence agencies. Uh, I think it's a controversial opinion too. I think you need people around the world that are monitoring terrorist cells, that are paying attention to, uh, you know, rogue states, that are paying attention to dangerous places-
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... like China. Uh, you need, you need information. You need intelligence agencies. I'm not an anti-intelligence agency person. I think people that are are naive. I think, uh, I have friends that have worked for the CIA-
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
... and I've had long conversations with them-
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... about what it's like, in private. There's dark shit in the world. There's, there's, there's some terrible places in this world. And you gotta pay attention to all that, and you have to have contingency plans, and you have to have preparation.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's not my world, right? That's their world. I, I know, I know there's a need for those people.
- 9:50 – 13:34
CIA tradecraft stories and the “don’t tell anyone” requirement
- PBPatrick Bet-David
I, I talked to, uh, uh, the former chief disguise officer. She's the one that makes all the... Jonah Mendes, and she's-
- JRJoe Rogan
Disguise officer?
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Disguise officer.
- JRJoe Rogan
Really?
- PBPatrick Bet-David
She's... literally, she goes in. Her job is to make your face identical to you. She puts it on, comes up to you, says, "Oh my gosh, you look just like me."
- JRJoe Rogan
That good?
- PBPatrick Bet-David
So she did this to President Bush, the first one, and she puts on the mask, goes up to him. He cannot believe. He thinks it's a human being looking just like him. And then she takes off the mask. She's the chief disguise officer.
- JRJoe Rogan
President Bush GW?
- PBPatrick Bet-David
No, the senior.
- JRJoe Rogan
Really?
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yes, one term.
- JRJoe Rogan
They were that good back then?
- PBPatrick Bet-David
They were that good back then, right? And then there's a picture of it actually. Uh, if, if, if you pull it up, you'll see-
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, I've got to-
- PBPatrick Bet-David
... her holding it up.
- JRJoe Rogan
... find that.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah, if you put chief-
- JRJoe Rogan
I need to see that.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
... disguise officer Jonah Mendes President Bush. Uh, yeah, that right there. She's holding the mask and she was ma-... yeah, masks of the lady, and she's showing it. So they were able to make masks of anybody else. And one day, her and I are interviewing, I'm interviewing in DC, and I said, "What makes a good CIA agent?" And I'll never forget what she said. She said the craziest thing. She says, "Look," I said, "do you want the guy to be charming, charismatic? What do you want it to be?" She says, "We want him to be charming, charismatic, attractive, sense of humor, all of that. The only thing we don't want him to have is the following. If they end up saving the free world, world of another war, they don't need to brag about it to nobody else." Pretty crazy.
- JRJoe Rogan
Just keep your mouth shut.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Just keep your mouth shut. And it's hard-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
... to find people like this.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
It kinda goes back to, uh, what you were saying then. And I followed up and I asked a question. I said, "Uh, I don't know if I'm comfortable with a president..." Because typically anybody that becomes a president, what do they have in common? You have to be super competitive, right?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
You have to be a true believer in something, set of values, whatever those may be. Uh, and you have to be somebody that's a good salesman. I mean, if you don't know how to sell, you're not gonna be a president.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
We've only had 46 of them. 45 of them were great salespeople-
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- 13:34 – 21:41
Milley’s China call, Biden’s condition, and 2020 election dynamics
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah. Uh, but, but at this point of the game, do you really want everybody to know everything? I don't know. By the way, even the one, uh, you know, only president has the ability to press the button. I mean, you know, there's, uh, there's gotta be a coup... I mean, you saw what happened with Milley recently.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, he was saying that he was worried that-
- PBPatrick Bet-David
What you think about that?
- JRJoe Rogan
Uh, well, I think, technically, isn't... Is that treason? What is treasonous? If you're contacting a general of an opposing army-
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... and you're saying, "I'm worried that our leader might do something, so I'm gonna consult with you rather than consult with him," th- I think what you're kinda saying is you don't respect the commander-in-chief of the army. I mean, is... Uh, it depends. Like, I don't know Trump. I met him once. He has normal-sized hands, by the way.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Really?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Okay.
- JRJoe Rogan
They're normal.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
So that conspiracy is out?
- JRJoe Rogan
Horse shit.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Oh, my gosh.
- JRJoe Rogan
I have pretty big hands. I shook his hand. They were normal hands.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
You do have pretty big hands. I gotta tell you.
- JRJoe Rogan
They were, they were very normal.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah? Good.
- JRJoe Rogan
I was like, "How you doing?"
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Well, shout-out to Trump's hands.
- JRJoe Rogan
I was-
- PBPatrick Bet-David
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) I was, uh, doing the UFC, and he came over and, and touched my shoulder. I looked up, and it's fucking Trump. I'm like, "Hey, how are you? What's going on?"
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Have you ever invited him or no?
- JRJoe Rogan
No. No.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
You wouldn't wanna do it?
- JRJoe Rogan
That's a little heavy.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Really?
- JRJoe Rogan
That's a little heavy. That comes with a lot.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
(laughs) So-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. There was an opportunity during the election, and then I was like, "I'm not getting involved."
- 21:41 – 28:54
Afghanistan withdrawal: sequencing, credibility of threats, and drone strike morality
- PBPatrick Bet-David
... with his inner hairy legs. You know, just... he's got such a great sense of humor. I've never seen anybody tell comedy like that. But go- going back to it. So, on a serious note, if Trump was president today, talk about the Afghanistan situation, how we handled it. Talk about, you know, what happened with the Taliban. How different would things have been if he was still president?
- JRJoe Rogan
It's a good question.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's a good question. I don't know. I mean, Trump wanted out of Afghanistan. That is- that is a very important point.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
No question about that.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, and I f-
- PBPatrick Bet-David
He never wanted to go in the first place.
- JRJoe Rogan
No.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
He's not a guy who is, uh... he's not interested in interventionist- interventionalist foreign policy. He doesn't want to invade these countries and be the police of the world. And I think... I think any way of pulling out of Afghanistan is going to be problematic, right? We've been there for so long. The Taliban wants control of Afghanistan again. I think it would have been a problem no matter what. But I think universally, uh, it's agreed that the way the Biden administration handled it was atrocious. I don't know what the best way to handle it would be. You would have to confer and consult to... with military experts. You'd have to... you'd have to figure out some way to ensure that you can get everybody out. You can't just pull out-
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
... and then leave people in there stranded and, you know, leave people that assisted the- the military, uh, at the mercy of the Taliban. And they're- they're... they didn't just do that. They left a list of who these people are. You know, they left their... all their- their data. You could find... they could find these people, the people that aided the United States, even translators. They're murdering them. I mean, that's happening right now as we speak. It's, uh... it's not good. I don't know what the right way to handle it is. What do you think the right way to handle it would've been?
- PBPatrick Bet-David
I think the biggest thing is sequencing. I think the real challenge was sequencing. So, you know game of chess or if you play backgammon or if you do anything, there's a certain sequence you go by, right? Maybe, you know, the same five moves one can make, move number five they made one. Okay? Which was supposed to be move number five but they made it first. So you can... two pe- two people can do the same exact five things but in different sequence get different results.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
So I just don't think the right sequence was used. That's number one. Um, in regards to the threat, there's a big difference, Joe. If you in like... you- you go to a bar and somebody says something to your family and you tell the guy, "Say one more thing to my family, I'm gonna destroy you." Okay? And the guy is gonna be like, "Joe, I'm just kidding. It was a joke." Right? You say that. Then another guy says, "I swear to God if you say one more thing to my family..." The guy's like, "Get the hell out of here. I don't believe you." I don't think they believed the threat today. So- so to me there's two different ways of giving threats. So when America gives a threat to say if you don't let one of our guys leave, I'm telling you-... "we're gonna hurt you." I don't think the Taliban believes it. I think the Taliban's sitting there saying, "Yeah. We don't think you're gonna do nothing." Okay? So for me, uh, I think this event the last... When- when I asked a question about Trump, what would have been different, I don't know. I think we would have probably still had some protesting going on because that protesting wouldn't have stopped.
- JRJoe Rogan
Hmm.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
I just don't know how different the Afghanistan would have been. That's the biggest... I think it would have been dramatic difference of Trump's handling versus Biden's handling.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, I- I definitely think that Trump would have been more likely to follow up on a threat, right? But Biden did launch a drone strike in Kabul that wound up killing an innocent person, wound up killing someone who was delivering water to schoolchildren, and he killed this man-
- PBPatrick Bet-David
And I saw that.
- JRJoe Rogan
... and it killed, uh, a bunch of kids. You know, this... And- and I say Biden did. It's not like Biden pushed the button, but he did give the orders. Um, the drone strike thing is a really scary part of military encounters because the amount of people that die that are innocent is off the fucking charts. I mean, I believe during the Obama administration, it was in the high 80%.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Mm.
- JRJoe Rogan
And, uh, I think the drone strikes went up. There was m- even more drone strikes during the Trump administration. I mean, it's just... It's a scary way to do war because it's not, it's not acq... Imagine if there was a thing that we did where there was a bad guy in, um, say, uh, a market, and we walked in and just sprayed the market and killed the bad guy, but also killed 35 other people.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
And if we saw a person do that-
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... we would be horrified.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yep.
- JRJoe Rogan
But to do something with a drone that winds up killing 35 innocent people-
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... it gets no coverage. It's very strange because we're disconnected from it because it's a robot that shoots a missile, you know, by remote control. It's- it's sterilized in some strange way.
- 28:54 – 56:23
Censorship and “virtual governments”: hashtags, bans, and narrative control
- PBPatrick Bet-David
enemy. It is I." I think the only thing that's gonna take this country down is not gonna be external, it's gonna be all internal. I think something's gonna happen internal here where people like yourself... We're sitting out there talking to your, your team and, uh, one of your guys brought up, uh, Rumble or Bitchute. He said, "Hey, you know, this is a place they can, you know, upload content." Because what if they censor certain people, right?
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
And a lot of people are like coming after you constantly, "I can't believe Joe did this." You know, "He may have never had COVID. That was just a publicity stunt. He didn't do that." And, "Why did he take that..." All this stuff. But if they silence you, who can't they silence next? So if they go after you and they silence... Say Joe Rogan doesn't have a voice anymore. You can't go on Spotify, you can't go on YouTube, you can't go on Facebook and talk anymore. Who's next after that?
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, it's a real problem.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
I mean, look what they've done with the president, with the- with Trump rather, when he was in- when he was the president. The- a sitting president was removed from Twitter and all other social media platforms.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Whether you agree with him or not, that's kind of crazy.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
I think so. Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Because the Taliban's still on Twitter. The Taliban's on Twitter, Donald Trump's not. That's- that's fact. That's what's- what's happening right now. 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.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Crazy.
- JRJoe Rogan
Have you seen this, Jamey?
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Crazy.
- JRJoe Rogan
Jamey, I'm gonna send this to you right now because it's- (clears throat)
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Absolutely crazy.
- JRJoe Rogan
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.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
Six to 13 times better. But if you even try to put that hashtag in on Instagram, they have decided to control the narrative.
- NANarrator
Uh, yeah. I just went to look for it, and that's what I had to-
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- NANarrator
But-
- PBPatrick Bet-David
So it's not even letting you go there.
- JRJoe Rogan
But did you get that... the, the, the, the text that I sent you?
- NANarrator
I, I was getting... Yeah. Okay.
- JRJoe Rogan
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.
- NANarrator
All right. It goes to the exact same thing I was just at.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's not working?
- NANarrator
It goes to this exact same thing I was at.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
This page isn't available. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
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."

Vaccine passports and the road to social credit systems
- JRJoe Rogan
They're like, "Yes, censor those people. Get rid of those voices. Deplatform people that I disagree with." And they don't understand where this goes. It's like where people are saying, the people that have, uh, that have been vaccinated that want a vaccine passport, "Yes, we should have a vaccine passport. I've been vaccinated. That's not gonna cha-... It's only gonna help me."
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
"I did my part. I, I, I took one for the team and I went out and got vaccinated to be a good citizen. Those people who didn't, fuck them. We should have a vaccine passport."
- PBPatrick Bet-David
That makes zero sense.
- JRJoe Rogan
But here's the problem-
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... with it. The vaccine passport, it doesn't end there. It's gonna keep going and it's gonna lead to some sort of a social system. You're gonna have a social credit system similar to what they have in China.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
You think that's happening in our lifetime?
- JRJoe Rogan
100%.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
You're saying 100%?
- JRJoe Rogan
100% it can happen in our lifetime.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Are you okay with that?
- JRJoe Rogan
No.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Okay, so then my-
- JRJoe Rogan
It 100% can happen in our lifetime because people will step with it. They will g-... As long-
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
... as it benefits them and as long as it aligns with their ideology-
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... they will ignore the dangers of a social credit system and they will embrace it.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
If... I would never thought people would be... Look, six months ago, the White House was saying there's no way we would ever use some sort of a vaccine mandate. There's no way.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Oh, no, but your... Kamala said, "I would never take the vaccine that Trump's coming..."
- JRJoe Rogan
So did, so did Biden.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah, both of them said that.
- JRJoe Rogan
Both, yeah. Yeah. They both did.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
But then once they got into office, six months ago, they said, "We would never im- use a mandate. We would never try to force businesses or people to be vaccinated." Now, they are saying that. Now, they want you to do that. Did you see that video where they're, they're talking about, Biden's talking about the hurricane?
- PBPatrick Bet-David
No.
- JRJoe Rogan
Have you ever seen this?
- PBPatrick Bet-David
No.
