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.
- 15:00 – 30:00
Just, just between us,…
- JRJoe Rogan
for Joe Jorgensen, who is the Libertarian candidate. I did not v-
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Just, just between us, he's not a great marketer. I don't wanna, like, put it out there, but-
- JRJoe Rogan
I didn't, I didn't think she was gonna win.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
I didn't think she was gonna win.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah. So your vote was just like, "Look-"
- JRJoe Rogan
It was like-
- PBPatrick Bet-David
"... it's more like a values vote. This is what I'm standing for."
- JRJoe Rogan
The Biden thing was nonsense. We all knew it was nonsense.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
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."
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
I mean, we know that he had, uh, two aneurysms before. He had massive brain surgery, like very, very dangerous brain surgery.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
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.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
They tell him questions to answer. He's been pretty open about it, unfortunately.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
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-
- JRJoe Rogan
I think 81 million people didn't want Trump to be president anymore.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Got it.
- JRJoe Rogan
I think that's what it was.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
You think, you think that's what-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
So they're voting against.
- JRJoe Rogan
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-
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Against him?
- JRJoe Rogan
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-
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... 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-
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Hmm. Yeah.
- 30:00 – 45:00
Crazy. …
- JRJoe Rogan
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."
- PBPatrick Bet-David
And then, you click on the website...
- JRJoe Rogan
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.
- NANarrator
When I searched for it, what does come up is natural immunity with a middle finger after it. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, that one does work.
- NANarrator
I know.
- JRJoe Rogan
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-
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah. You're right, it's the middle finger natural immunity, Jamie.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's... That one works.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- 45:00 – 1:00:00
Cruz. Yeah. …
- JRJoe Rogan
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-
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Cruz. Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... that he shit all over.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Shit all over those guys.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
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.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
So fair enough. So here's a question for you then, who is the George Bush and the George Will of the left today?
- JRJoe Rogan
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-
- PBPatrick Bet-David
How about Manchin? Joe Manchin?
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't know Joe Manchin.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Oh, are you kidding me?
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, I'm not kidding.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
You're serious?
- JRJoe Rogan
No, I don't know Joe Manchin.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Oh, Joe-
- JRJoe Rogan
Do you know who Joe Manchin is?
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Joe-
- JRJoe Rogan
Jamie doesn't know Joe Manchin either.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Joe- do you know Joe is the only guy-
- JRJoe Rogan
Who is he?
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Joe is the only guy that votes left. That votes, uh, uh, against the left today, and he's a Democrat.
- JRJoe Rogan
Where is he from?
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Can you pull him up? Joe Manchin? I wanna say Joe Manchin is a south something. Joe Manchin is a, uh...
- JRJoe Rogan
Senator of West Virginia.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
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...
- JRJoe Rogan
Fucking ad blocker.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Gotta love these guys, they want your money.
- JRJoe Rogan
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."
- PBPatrick Bet-David
So this is Joe Manchin, okay? (laughs)
- 1:00:00 – 1:08:03
Most likely it would've…
- PBPatrick Bet-David
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?
- JRJoe Rogan
Most likely it would've been.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Most likely would've been. So, I think-
- JRJoe Rogan
It would've been worse.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
... it made sense-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
... 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-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes. Uh, her cousin's testicles.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
(laughs) Her cousin's testicles, yeah-
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- PBPatrick Bet-David
... 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.
- JRJoe Rogan
I've never heard of testicles swelling as a side effect.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
I haven't either. I've heard of other things-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
... but not because the vaccine. So-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
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.
- JRJoe Rogan
And she's just talking. Right.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
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?
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
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-
- JRJoe Rogan
To not do the vaccine?
- PBPatrick Bet-David
I don't wanna take the vaccine.
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
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."
- JRJoe Rogan
Who said that to her?
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Who's, uh, Joy, uh, uh, what's her name? Um...
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, Joy-Ann Reid.
- PBPatrick Bet-David
Uh, yeah, I, I, I think that's who it was.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, yeah.
