   4. JBJim Breuer0:13

      What's up, baby? How are you?

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:14

      (laughs)

   6. JBJim Breuer0:15

      It's good to see you, man.

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:16

      Good to see you too, my friend.

   8. JBJim Breuer0:17

      You look all happy and, and refreshed.

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:19

      Well, I was on vacation. Yeah. So I went to the British Vi- Virgin Islands for 10 days. Just chilled, went to the beach, did some fishing, wonderful time.

   10. JBJim Breuer0:28

       Do-

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:28

       Just relaxing, just relaxing.

   12. JBJim Breuer0:30

       You scuba?

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:30

       Wonderful. Doed a little snorkeling, did some snorkeling. Scuba kinda freaks me out. (laughs)

   14. JBJim Breuer0:35

       (laughs)

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:35

       I would do it, but the idea of, of relying on that tank of air, and you're breathing under water, (gasps) and you have to slowly have to make your way to the surface.

   16. JBJim Breuer0:43

       (laughs)

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:43

       Fuck. What if something goes sideways? How long can you hold your breath? Jesus.

   18. JBJim Breuer0:48

       You don't go down that far. You don't y- you just... I think you... I'm shocked you don't like scuba diving.

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:54

       Uh, it's not whether or not I would like it. I would absolutely love it, I'm sure. It's a whole different w- everybody I know that's done it loves it. It's a whole world.

   20. JBJim Breuer1:02

       See, I'm more freaked out by what you do. If you go snorkeling and you, you smacking your, your, your feet on the water, I think-

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:11

       Sharks.

   22. JBJim Breuer1:12

       ... sharks, they s- "Oh my God, he's fucking struggling."

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:14

       Yeah, yep.

   24. JBJim Breuer1:14

       "I'm gonna get him."

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:15

       Totally-

   26. JBJim Breuer1:16

       That freaks me out more.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:17

       ... totally possible, and happened at a resort where Duncan was staying. It was either the week before Duncan was there, or the week after he left. I forget which one it was, but in Maui, this lady got eaten by a tiger shark right out where Duncan was swimming. He was out there at the same resort, swimming in the water. And then during the same timeframe, somebody got got.

   28. JBJim Breuer1:40

       They're everywhere.

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:41

       They're everywhere.

   30. JBJim Breuer1:41

       But... Yeah, no. I'm t- I'm not a, I'm not a snorkeling fan.
2. 2:23 – 5:36

   Werewolves as a metaphor for propaganda, war profiteering, and elite manipulation

   1. JRJoe Rogan2:23

      It depends on, I w- it depends on what kind of a werewolf it is. If it's a dude who knows he's a werewolf and kinda enjoys it-

   2. JBJim Breuer2:29

      Yeah? (laughs)

   3. JRJoe Rogan2:29

      ... you know, that guy would, like, pick people to turn in front of, you know, like, come over to your house.

   4. JBJim Breuer2:33

      (laughs)

   5. JRJoe Rogan2:34

      You know what I mean?

   6. JBJim Breuer2:34

      Yes.

   7. JRJoe Rogan2:35

      Like, we always assume that the werewolf is this good guy, and he gets bit and he's like, "Shit, I can't believe this. No." And then he turns into this monster. But what if he's a piece of shit? And what if he knows he's gonna be a werewolf, and so he's like, he wants to make it easy, so he just becomes your friend and hangs out with you in the house until the moon turns full. So this way, he's got you in a closed environment.

   8. JBJim Breuer2:56

      That's true, and then he can starting harvesting your whole damn family.

   9. JRJoe Rogan2:58

      Yeah, it's easy pickings.

   10. JBJim Breuer3:00

       Or he, he brings you all in one at a time.

   11. JRJoe Rogan3:02

       Yeah.

   12. JBJim Breuer3:02

       "Ah, your family live here."

   13. JRJoe Rogan3:03

       He's already fucking scouted the house-

   14. JBJim Breuer3:05

       Bring your dog.

   15. JRJoe Rogan3:05

       ... for silver bullets.

   16. JBJim Breuer3:06

       Yes.

   17. JRJoe Rogan3:06

       "There's no silver bullets in this house. I'm good."

   18. JBJim Breuer3:09

       That's cynical.

   19. JRJoe Rogan3:10

       Yeah.

   20. JBJim Breuer3:11

       But that's a werewolf.

   21. JRJoe Rogan3:12

       Well, that's human beings, too, right? If you think about-

   22. JBJim Breuer3:15

       No, you're right.

   23. JRJoe Rogan3:15

       ... someone's decision, if someone makes a decision to go to war, right? If someone makes a decision to go a- a- and think about it, they use propaganda, they'll use a false flag, they'll use misinformation, control of the media, and get a war going that isn't really necessary, and how many people die from that? Right? And so they just make this decision. They make this decision knowing that a bunch of people are gonna die that could be avoided, but if they do do it, it's gonna be very profitable, and you can justify doing it. And so they do it. That's werewolf shit, right? Is that werewolf shit?

   24. JBJim Breuer3:50

       That is werewolf... You know what? That is werewolf shit.

   25. JRJoe Rogan3:53

       Yeah. That's the evil werewolf shit. That's the, the conniving-

   26. JBJim Breuer3:56

       Right.

   27. JRJoe Rogan3:56

       ... manipulative, all, knowing exactly what they're doing werewolf.

   28. JBJim Breuer4:01

       That stuff... Now listen, I don't-

   29. JRJoe Rogan4:03

       (laughs)

   30. JBJim Breuer4:03

       And like I've tried... Like, I think about that a lot. I do think about that a lot, and I go, "That's, that is the purest form of evil." It's almost like when-
3. 5:36 – 10:59

   Libya, Gaddafi’s overthrow, and what happens when a state collapses

   1. JBJim Breuer5:36

      Dude, I want to let you know, in effect, listen, this freaked me out. This freaked me out a little bit. So, uh, I used to do this, I would do this bit with fucking Muammar Gaddafi, right? Muammar Gaddafi, and it was true, he did this fake bomb thing. And everyone always say, "Ah, Muammar Gaddafi blah, blah, blah." And then I found out... 'Cause you remember growing up, that whole thing with Libya?

   2. JRJoe Rogan6:02

      Yeah.

   3. JBJim Breuer6:03

      And you were like-... Muammar Gaddafi's fucking... He's a werewolf. He's, we gotta kill him. He shot six missiles at a US plane, and we, and we fucking bombed him. And then Clinton came in, killed him, took him out, right?

   4. JRJoe Rogan6:23

      Well, it was during the Obama Administration, wasn't it, that he got killed? I believe it was when Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State that they, they overthrew Libya. Was that, is that the case?

   5. JVJamie Vernon6:33

      I don't know. I won't... Yeah.

   6. JRJoe Rogan6:33

      Jamie's gonna Google it.

   7. JBJim Breuer6:35

      So, I see-

   8. JVJamie Vernon6:37

      2011?

   9. JRJoe Rogan6:38

      But there was like some sh-

   10. JBJim Breuer6:39

       But-

   11. JRJoe Rogan6:39

       There was, there's always some financial shit to these things.

   12. JBJim Breuer6:42

       Well, well-

   13. JRJoe Rogan6:42

       It's always like trying to get off the US dollar or someone-

   14. JBJim Breuer6:45

       Well-

   15. JRJoe Rogan6:45

       ... someone does something crafty.

   16. JBJim Breuer6:46

       Well, check this out. So, um, I, you know, I see Farrakhan. You know, white people meet like, "Goddamn devil. Black guy hates white people." You know, whatever. They can't, they already write him off.

   17. JRJoe Rogan6:58

       Right.

   18. JBJim Breuer6:59

       But I'm listening to him, and he starts talking about why they killed Muammar Gaddafi. And, and I'm t- I'm dumb as a rock. Think you know that by now. Basically, he was saying, "We're not gonna need the banking system. We're not gonna need, um, your system, your dollar. We're gonna... We, we got our own. Everyone here, educated. No homeless people. We pay for everything. We pay for medical. We share revenue, and we're gonna start uniting the whole continent." I was like, "What?" He goes, "That's why they killed him." And he goes on and on and on. Dude, on my life. So, last year, I went to Tanzania, right? And, you know, I'm talking to the people there, and I just start going, "Hey, uh..." It was me... You know Vinny Brand?

   19. JRJoe Rogan7:52

       Yeah.

   20. JBJim Breuer7:52

       I was with Vinny Brand. Brought him on safari. Shit, dude, you gotta go. All right, so we're hanging out there, and he... The guy goes... I go, "Hey, man. Remember, um..." We're talking about a lot of things. We're talking about a lot of things going on in America, but one of the things we hit is Libya, um, Muammar Gaddafi. "What'd you think of Muammar Gaddafi?" And all of them, they were like, "Oh, he's a great African, great African, great African." I'm like, "Really?" Oh, yeah. We were told he was like this monster, this terrorist. Like we have... We, we bombed him. We were like cheering that we bombed him. And they went, "No." I said, "Why were they... Why was he so good?" He goes, "He was good to the, all the Africans. He, he, he gave us, he gave us education. He gave us water. He gave us all our needs and, and, and if we couldn't get it here and we wanted something else, we'd, we'd do it for them. He was, he's very good for Africa." I said, "What happened since he left on my kids' lives?" This guy goes, "Libya, worst sex trafficking, the worst sex trafficking." So, that fucked me up. So, now think about that. We demonize this place, and we were told one thing. I'm not saying that's not what it was. What I'm saying is like, what really happened?

   21. JRJoe Rogan9:10

       Well, the, w- the... First of all, the state collapsed, and when a state collapses, criminals take over. And one of the things that you saw in Libya, at one point in time... Although I did get some messages through a friend of mine, uh, that some Libyan people wanted me to know that Libya, like, uh, the cities in Libya have recovered. They're not, like, as crazy as they were. Um, you know, that might be national pride that they're saying this. I don't know. I don't know.

   22. JBJim Breuer9:35

       Yeah, yeah, yeah.

   23. JRJoe Rogan9:35

       I, I don't know what the story is.

   24. JBJim Breuer9:36

       Yeah.

   25. JRJoe Rogan9:36

       Maybe they're much better. Maybe they're judging it on a scale or whatever it was. But there's y-... There was YouTube videos of open-air slavery. So, you would watch people bid on people, and you could watch it on YouTube, and that was in Libya. That was after they killed Gaddafi. Did you ever see the, the video footage of them killing him?

   26. JBJim Breuer9:54

       No.

   27. JRJoe Rogan9:55

       Oh. Oh, you have to see it.

   28. JBJim Breuer9:57

       Dude.

   29. JRJoe Rogan9:58

       When the rebels grab hold of Gaddafi and they realize they have him, and he realizes that they have him... And there's high-resolution cameras now because this was like 2012, I believe. Is that when it was?

   30. JBJim Breuer10:10

       Yeah, yeah.
4. 10:59 – 12:31

   Humans vs. chimps: brutality, progress, and the chaos of modern information

   1. JBJim Breuer10:59

      Dude, I remember you... One time, you said, you said... You had talked about chimpanzees, like, which is... It was f-

   2. JVJamie Vernon11:06

      (laughs)

   3. JBJim Breuer11:06

      It was really funny, but you go, "Dude, they were just chimpanzees that learned how to talk and lie." You said something like that. It was really fucking funny.

   4. JRJoe Rogan11:15

      I said they learned how to talk and lie?

   5. JBJim Breuer11:17

      No, that... Like, where chimpanzees-

   6. JRJoe Rogan11:20

      Oh, who learned how to talk and lie?

   7. JBJim Breuer11:22

      Yeah.

   8. JRJoe Rogan11:22

      Yeah.

   9. JBJim Breuer11:22

      And I could be, I could be... But the point of that was, it really makes it... 'Cause we think we're so far advanced, and we're much smarter than anything.

   10. JRJoe Rogan11:34

       Yeah.

   11. JBJim Breuer11:34

       We're, we're so much better. We're better beings. We're better souls.

   12. JRJoe Rogan11:39

       We are. We are. We really are.

   13. JBJim Breuer11:41

       We have the capability.

   14. JRJoe Rogan11:42

       No, we really are. We're way better than chimps. Listen, man, if chimps had nuclear weapons-

   15. JBJim Breuer11:48

       (laughs)

   16. JVJamie Vernon11:48

       (laughs)

   17. JRJoe Rogan11:48

       ... it would've been over a long time ago.

   18. JBJim Breuer11:50

       I know. Now, you were... Yeah, yeah, fair enough.

   19. JRJoe Rogan11:51

       They wouldn't have thought about the future.

   20. JBJim Breuer11:54

       (laughs)

   21. JRJoe Rogan11:54

       "Fuck the future. Let's nuke these cunts." They would've just nuked everybody.

   22. JBJim Breuer11:59

       (laughs)

   23. JRJoe Rogan11:59

       Chimp- chimps are so ruthless.

   24. JBJim Breuer12:01

       You're right.

   25. JRJoe Rogan12:01

       They are so ruthless, man. They don't give a fuck about you. They have no bad feelings. They don't have any, like, remorse for fucking people up.

   26. JBJim Breuer12:09

       (laughs)

   27. JRJoe Rogan12:09

       Th- they would be the worst.

   28. JBJim Breuer12:11

       But, but-

   29. JRJoe Rogan12:12

       We're way, way, way, way better, which is not good enough yet. We-

   30. JBJim Breuer12:15

       But you...
5. 12:31 – 21:52

   Ukraine, NATO, and why people feel forced to “pick a side”

   1. JRJoe Rogan12:31

      And the amount of chaos that's going on constantly now is, like, unprecedented, because you don't know what the fuck is true or not. We're... Somehow or another, you and I, Jim Brewer and Joe Rogan, two guys who've known each other, were friends for 35 years, somehow or another, we have an investment in some fucking war that's happening in Russia and Ukraine, and we have to have a, we have to have a side we have to pick. We have to figure out what's true and what's not. We have to wade through all the, "How much money?" We have to go, "What?"

   2. JBJim Breuer13:00

      Right.

   3. JRJoe Rogan13:00

      "How much money?" There's n- there's no way that you know where all that money's going. There's no way.

   4. JBJim Breuer13:06

      Well, neither did I. How-

   5. JRJoe Rogan13:07

      'Cause it's like, that's too much money.

   6. JBJim Breuer13:09

      How crazy do you have to be at this point in your life? What... Like, is there anyone walking down the street going, "We really, really gotta fucking stop Russia from killing the U- we gotta..." Like, who the fuck is still thinking that way? It's mind-boggling to me.

   7. JRJoe Rogan13:29

      Well, we, we can't be the policemen of the world, but we should do what we can to stop people that are doing something that's horrific. But we also shouldn't be involved in things that are violating agreements where we're, like, pushing arms closer and closer to Russia's border. Like, all these things are true. So it's just, like, all these things are true simultaneously, and everybody wants only one side to be true.

   8. JBJim Breuer13:52

      Yeah. Right.

   9. JRJoe Rogan13:52

      That's all they want. They want their position to be correct and-

   10. JBJim Breuer13:55

       And it's not.

   11. JRJoe Rogan13:56

       No, this, that-

   12. JBJim Breuer13:57

       It's not.

   13. JRJoe Rogan13:57

       That Russia thing is messy. Of course it's horrible that Russia i- attacked Ukraine, but also, it's kind of fucked that NATO kept fucking with these guys and trying-

   14. JBJim Breuer14:08

       It's-

   15. JRJoe Rogan14:08

       ... to bring them in and moving arms closer to Russia.

   16. JBJim Breuer14:10

       All he says is, like, "Hey, man. I, I get you guys are got your little toys and stuff. Just do me a favor? Let's have an agreement. Don't go past here, all right?"

   17. JRJoe Rogan14:20

       Yeah.

   18. JBJim Breuer14:20

       "You guys promise? We'll shake on it? We'll shake on it."

   19. JRJoe Rogan14:24

       Yeah, no one's-

   20. JBJim Breuer14:24

       "You wanna sign? Let's sign."

   21. JRJoe Rogan14:26

       Okay.

   22. JBJim Breuer14:26

       And then a month later, they're like, "Uh, dude. Why are you moving the f- I thought we agreed? We're just-"

   23. JRJoe Rogan14:33

       Werewolves.

   24. JBJim Breuer14:34

       Werewolves.

   25. JRJoe Rogan14:34

       Werewolves. Werewolves.

   26. JBJim Breuer14:35

       Now, you just said we're not that far off from monkeys, and then 10 minutes before that, you talked about the guy shoving a fucking..."

   27. JRJoe Rogan14:42

       Yeah. You know what chimps would've done to him?

   28. JBJim Breuer14:44

       Dude, that's barbaric.

   29. JRJoe Rogan14:45

       Chimps would've been way worse.

   30. JBJim Breuer14:47

       (laughs)
6. 21:52 – 25:43

   9/11 discourse, media pressure, and the Building 7 controversy

   1. JBJim Breuer21:52

      All you could do is go on... I remember being in a pub. I was in Chester, New Jersey. I don't know how I went pub.

   2. JRJoe Rogan21:59

      (laughs)

   3. JBJim Breuer21:59

      I don't give a fuck. What the fuck did that come from? Like, "I was in pub." (laughs)

   4. JRJoe Rogan22:05

      Where did that come from?

   5. JBJim Breuer22:06

      So, I don't know. So I was in a pub, uh, Chester, New Jersey, and I was talking about the towers. And I, and I didn't wanna say I didn't believe. I said, "Man, I just got a lot of questions. You don't think it was weird they just pancaked straight down?" I thought that was a miracle. And then the second one I'm like, "Wait a minute. Wait a... This is..." And the reaction from that person was, "What are you? What are you? What are you, fucking one of those anti-American-" Like, he, he wanted to kill me. So what I'm saying is, you couldn't question anything at that time. If you dared question, they immediately have you-

   6. JRJoe Rogan22:42

      They would attack. Yeah.

   7. JBJim Breuer22:42

      ... even, even, even the most popular-

   8. JRJoe Rogan22:45

      Even if you had a point.

   9. JBJim Breuer22:45

      ... um, newscasters that people love today because they're on certain sides, they were, they were selling it hard. And to me, I never forgot that. They were selling death. They were selling murder. They were selling war. And bro, they, you couldn't question anything. They had that counterattack ready to go. And so when people go, "You're telling me this was a secret?" Yeah, man. When you control all that, that's pretty powerful when you wanna make vi- I question it and this guy wanted to fucking be violent against me. And I was just like, "I'm just..."

   10. JRJoe Rogan23:20

       It's crazy to be violent-

   11. JBJim Breuer23:20

       You don't think it's weird?

   12. JRJoe Rogan23:21

       It's crazy to be violent about an opinion like that because it's not an offensive opinion. It's not an offensive... First of all, it's slightly ignorant, right? Because the thing about tower one and tower two specifically is they didn't fall like a controlled demolition at all. They fell like a building that was collapsing. But tower seven fell, fell like a building into its base. That one's extraordinary. That one's extraordinary. And that one absolutely looks like a controlled demolition. I am not saying it's a controlled demolition.

   13. JBJim Breuer23:53

       No.

   14. JRJoe Rogan23:53

       What I am saying is, the way it collapsed, it- it went into its base just like a controlled demolition. And if you don't agree with that, then th- you're talking nonsense. If you don't agree with the fact that that looks like a controlled demolition, then we really can't talk because you're, you're dealing in fantasy world, or you're-

   15. JBJim Breuer24:12

       Because it undeniably looks exactly like a controlled demolition.

   16. JRJoe Rogan24:18

       ... that doesn't mean it was. Uh, th- first of all, one thing that doesn't look like a controlled demolition is the top of it. You see it cave in long before the whole building collapses. So, there was a structural collapse that you can see from the video that most people aren't aware of. If you see the top of it, before the whole building comes down, see that top? See that dark s- thing in the top? That thing goes first. Now, watch how that goes. So-

   17. JBJim Breuer24:44

       You want me to play it or go slow?

   18. JRJoe Rogan24:44

       Yeah, just play it.

   19. JBJim Breuer24:45

       Okay.

   20. JRJoe Rogan24:46

       So, what apparently was going on, there's diesel generators-

   21. JBJim Breuer24:49

       Mm-hmm.

   22. JRJoe Rogan24:49

       ... in that building. Now, s- see if you could play... I wanna see the thing... I think it was even before that, Jamie. I think it was a larger thing that went under first, it collapsed first. That's it.

   23. JBJim Breuer25:01

       There it is.

   24. JRJoe Rogan25:01

       See, that's that thing in the... See that?

   25. JBJim Breuer25:02

       Boom.

   26. JRJoe Rogan25:03

       Okay, there it goes. So, that collapses. So, this... Obviously, the internal structure's gone.

   27. JBJim Breuer25:08

       Mm-hmm.

   28. JRJoe Rogan25:09

       So, this thing collapsing like that-

   29. JBJim Breuer25:11

       Mm-hmm.

   30. JRJoe Rogan25:11

       ... doesn't, doesn't throw me off as much-
7. 25:43 – 40:29

   Government bloat, audits, and climate messaging: fear narratives vs. infrastructure realities

   1. JRJoe Rogan25:43

      Look, man, I lived in Boston during the time of the Big Dig. Do you remember the Big Dig?

   2. JBJim Breuer25:47

      What is the Big Dig?

   3. JRJoe Rogan25:48

      The Big Dig (laughs) , the Big Dig was a fucking construction project that was the most construc- corrupt construction project that's ever existed. It was supposed to last like a couple years, it went on for decades. These guys milked it. They would be like working like this, dink, dink.

   4. JBJim Breuer26:02

      It's like New York and, uh... Yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan26:03

      Yeah.

   6. JBJim Breuer26:03

      New York and Boston, yeah.

   7. JRJoe Rogan26:04

      The Big Dig, it w- it was supposed to... It started in 1982 when I lived there, it ended in 2007. It was supposed to take like two years (laughs) . They just fucking milked it and a bunch of people went to jail, there's a bunch of lawsuits. Oh, yeah, fucking full on corruption.

   8. JBJim Breuer26:20

      How come they don't look at, look at the LIE on Long Island? It's been under construction-

   9. JRJoe Rogan26:26

      Forever.

   10. JBJim Breuer26:26

       ... since I was a child.

   11. JRJoe Rogan26:28

       Forever. Well, here's another thing. When you pay tolls, the tolls on a bridge were supposed to be-

   12. JBJim Breuer26:36

       (laughs)

   13. JRJoe Rogan26:36

       ... to compensate for the money that it took to build the bridge.

   14. JBJim Breuer26:40

       Right.

   15. JRJoe Rogan26:40

       But once they have all the money to build the bridge, they're like, "Fuck you, pay me. Just keep paying me."

   16. JBJim Breuer26:45

       And where's that money going?

   17. JRJoe Rogan26:46

       "Just keep paying me." Well, it goes to the state, and then the state can make the government bigger. Wee! And we have more people (laughs) that can go after you if you don't pay!

   18. JBJim Breuer26:53

       Here's another law.

   19. JRJoe Rogan26:55

       Pay! (imitates fart)

   20. JBJim Breuer26:55

       (laughs)

   21. JRJoe Rogan26:55

       Do you know that more government jobs have been created, uh, over the last, I forget what the time period it was, than any other sector? Any other things going on?

   22. JBJim Breuer27:03

       But, see, Joe, it's little things like this... Uh, what drives me nuts too is... You know what it is? I think people's emotions... It's just people's emotions are still with it, uh, w- they're either in denial or they don't wanna face the dark, or they picked a team and no matter what that team says, the other team is wrong. They say, "Hey, I'm an Eagles fan."

   23. JRJoe Rogan27:26

       Well, first of all, you have to have a lot of l- looking into things before you form a realistic perspective of what's happening. It takes a long time, man. And a lot of people don't have that time. We're lucky that we're comics and we have a lot of time.

   24. JBJim Breuer27:41

       Yeah.

   25. JRJoe Rogan27:41

       You know?

   26. JBJim Breuer27:42

       Yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan27:42

       Being a standup especially, b- you know, the podcast kind of gets in the way of that, 'cause I have to sit down and talk to people for a few hours. But-

   28. JBJim Breuer27:48

       Right.

   29. JRJoe Rogan27:48

       ... if you're a standup for the most part, you can do whatever the fuck you want during your day.

   30. JBJim Breuer27:51

       Right.
8. 40:29 – 48:13

   Pandemic aftershocks: mortality spikes, vaccines, and the taboo around variables

   1. JRJoe Rogan40:29

      When you see stories like that, like, young p- people are gonna have heart attacks due to climate change (laughs) . I've seen those. Like, yeah, yeah. Anything else?

   2. JBJim Breuer40:37

      But do you just think-

   3. JRJoe Rogan40:38

      Does a- anything else give kids heart attacks?

   4. JBJim Breuer40:40

      (laughs)

   5. JRJoe Rogan40:40

      Thanks for writing that article. I'll, I'll be sure to make sure that the kids get water when it gets hot out, if they're running.

   6. JBJim Breuer40:46

      (laughs)

   7. JRJoe Rogan40:46

      Um, anything else give them heart attacks that you guys ever found? Have you been looking around? "No, nothing. Nothing over here, just, uh, climate change." Okay. So, the, like, what is the uptick in the amount of kids having heart attacks? And is it corresponding to a certain temperature rise? I- it seems like that would be, like, scientifically you could m- measure that. If there was an uptick and the temperature raised 1% and we saw a 10% increase in heart attacks amongst 18-year-olds, would that-

   8. JBJim Breuer41:11

      Which is happening, right?

   9. JRJoe Rogan41:13

      I don't know what the number is, but I do know-

   10. JBJim Breuer41:15

       It has been happening.

   11. JRJoe Rogan41:15

       ... the num-

   12. JBJim Breuer41:16

       What the heck is that all about?

   13. JRJoe Rogan41:17

       ... the n- the number of deaths-

   14. JBJim Breuer41:19

       Hmm.

   15. JRJoe Rogan41:19

       ... is what's the spooky one.

   16. JBJim Breuer41:21

       Mm-hmm.

   17. JRJoe Rogan41:21

       Because the all-cause mortality-

   18. JBJim Breuer41:24

       Mm-hmm.

   19. JRJoe Rogan41:24

       ... spiked way up. That's what, that's what's freaky. That's a freaky one. That's a freaky one. And, uh, you could attribute... and you have to be really fair about that. You could attribute that to a bunch of different things.

   20. JBJim Breuer41:37

       Mm-hmm.

   21. JRJoe Rogan41:37

       First of all, you could attribute it to bad habits that people picked up during COVID. That will take up a certain percentage of them.

   22. JBJim Breuer41:42

       There's a lot of that.

   23. JRJoe Rogan41:43

       A lot of people became alcoholics during COVID.

   24. JBJim Breuer41:45

       Oh, yeah.

   25. JRJoe Rogan41:45

       A lot of people did. So that's a percentage. And then you have to think about a percentage of people that got COVID and got fucking wrecked.

   26. JBJim Breuer41:53

       Mm-hmm.

   27. JRJoe Rogan41:53

       'Cause I know some people that got wrecked.

   28. JBJim Breuer41:55

       Same.

   29. JRJoe Rogan41:56

       They got wrecked, and they were, you know, compromised after that.

   30. JBJim Breuer42:00

       Mm-hmm.
9. 48:13 – 1:11:40

   Fear, compliance, and ‘tiny encroachments’: Jordan Peterson’s tyranny model

   1. JBJim Breuer48:13

      But that's what we've lost. What, what for me what COVID did was it was the la- i- it was the way the werewolves... I say it's the werewolves. The wel- the werewolves went, "This is how we really rip the families apart." And well, because everybody has fear in them.... and everyone in your family has f- every human being has fear in them. And they're testing, the more the werewolves get to test your fear factor, the stronger they become 'cause they see who buckles. They see who's gonna call.

   2. JRJoe Rogan48:51

      They see how many people buckle. They see how many people-

   3. JBJim Breuer48:52

      They see how many people, they see who's lashing out. They see how many people wearing a mask at the airport. They s- they... so they're measuring the fear.

   4. JRJoe Rogan49:00

      Yeah.

   5. JBJim Breuer49:00

      And, um, you know, man, I just... I pray to God it's ti- it just becomes time for the fearless. And what the fearless is, it's not a violent fight. It's just... You- you said some brilliant things. I, I remember years ago, you were talking about like, "Dude, this is the time of the truth, and t-" And it really resonated, like, yes, that's what we need in life, just, just truth, just honesty.

   6. JRJoe Rogan49:24

      We're, we're getting there.

   7. JBJim Breuer49:24

      Just looking after each other.

   8. JRJoe Rogan49:26

      I think we're gonna get there.

   9. JBJim Breuer49:27

      Oh, I know we're getting there.

   10. JRJoe Rogan49:28

       I think we're just getting there, it's just-

   11. JBJim Breuer49:28

       But we gotta be aware of the w- we gotta be aware of the werewolves.

   12. JRJoe Rogan49:31

       Yeah. Well, we gotta be aware of the werewolves who are trying to close the gate.

   13. JBJim Breuer49:34

       Yes.

   14. JRJoe Rogan49:34

       They're trying to close the gate before human beings, um... Without these enormous institutions, human beings have the power over the narrative, and that human beings that you trust are real. They do exist. They just don't exist in those systems, they exist independently for the most part. And they're, they're real, and they can tell you what's actually going on. It'll shock you, but it shouldn't if you understand history. Do you know the number one group of people in the beginning of the pandemic when they rolled out the vaccines, number one group that had vaccine hesitancy?

   15. JBJim Breuer50:06

       Hm.

   16. JRJoe Rogan50:06

       PhDs.

   17. JBJim Breuer50:08

       Hm.

   18. JRJoe Rogan50:09

       F- find that. Find that. There was an article that I was reading, I hope it's true. Um, that in the beginning, there was a lot of PhDs that were like, "Uh," because these are people that, like, understand how these studies are funded probably, or at least understand how research is done and how, uh, research is done through the pharmaceutical drug companies.

   19. JBJim Breuer50:28

       Mm-hmm.

   20. JRJoe Rogan50:28

       So, the pharmaceutical drug companies, they do their own research. And then they don't... When, when something's peer-reviewed, it doesn't even get... They don't even get access to the raw data. They get, get access to the assessment of the data by the pharmaceutical companies. And the pharmaceutical companies can do 10 studies, and they rig their studies in a way that get the most biased results. And if eight of 'em show no benefit, but one or two of 'em shows a little bit of a benefit, then they can roll out. And then they start making... (howls)

   21. JBJim Breuer50:56

       (laughs)

   22. JRJoe Rogan50:58

       So-

   23. JBJim Breuer50:59

       (laughs)

   24. JRJoe Rogan50:59

       ... I think PhDs were very (laughs) aware of that system and aware of the... Also, if you're... if you understand human psychology, you're w- aware of what happens to people in a time of great angst and pressure, that they panic. And, and in every horror movie you see this, s- people fall apart. There's a... And the weaker you can make society, the more corrupted you can make society, the more decadent you can make society, the more s- society that doesn't value discipline, that doesn't value free will, that doesn't value people's independence and strength and health. Well, then you'll be able to find more suckers when the shit goes sideways. You're gonna get more pussies. You're gonna get more people that are willing to sell out their neighbors 'cause they were having a party and they weren't socially distancing.

   25. JBJim Breuer51:45

       (laughs)

   26. JRJoe Rogan51:45

       You get a lot of fucking suckers, because it's too easy to live today. And it's t- there's two... It's, it's too... It's too easy to develop into a fully-formed adult that is made out of mush, not just mush with your body, but mush with your mind, mush with your opinions, mo- mush with your will, your will to get things done, your will to work, your discipline to get up and get things done. Those aren't frivolous things. Those aren't things that you should ever, uh, uh, equate to toxic masculinity or toxic feminine energy. N- no, those are powerful human traits, and you've been tricked. You've been tricked into thinking that weakness is a virtue. It's not. Kindness is a virtue, and kindness through strength is the most honest kindness.

   27. JBJim Breuer52:33

       Mm-hmm.

   28. JRJoe Rogan52:33

       When Francis in Ghana is being nice to you, it's 'cause he wants to be nice to you. (laughs) You know what I'm saying?

   29. JBJim Breuer52:39

       (laughs) Yes.

   30. JRJoe Rogan52:39

       That's a real... When he's kind, it's real kindness. They found 23.9% of the people who said they hold PhD degrees express hesitancy, the highest rate amongst the various levels of education. So, the brightest people were like, "Yeah."
10. 1:11:40 – 1:29:28

    Bathroom break to urban history: horse manure crisis and unintended consequences of ‘progress’

    1. JRJoe Rogan1:11:40

       I gotta piss. Can we hold this?

    2. JBJim Breuer1:11:42

       Yeah.

    3. JRJoe Rogan1:11:42

       Hold this. I gotta take a leak. We'll be right back.

    4. JBJim Breuer1:11:43

       I gotta pee too.

    5. JRJoe Rogan1:11:44

       You ever shit in the woods?

    6. JBJim Breuer1:11:46

       Um...

    7. JRJoe Rogan1:11:47

       It's a wild thing.

    8. JBJim Breuer1:11:48

       Not naturally. I did it cheating.

    9. JRJoe Rogan1:11:50

       Feels normal. You know, um-

    10. JBJim Breuer1:11:51

        I cheated.

    11. JRJoe Rogan1:11:51

        ... I was reading this thing about India. They have a problem where people don't like to use toilets. They just like to shit outside.

    12. JBJim Breuer1:11:57

        They use their...

    13. JRJoe Rogan1:11:59

        There's certain places they just, they've been shitting outside forever-

    14. JBJim Breuer1:12:02

        Just try to produce.

    15. JRJoe Rogan1:12:02

        ... so they, they don't like toilets.

    16. JBJim Breuer1:12:03

        Oh.

    17. JRJoe Rogan1:12:04

        So they're building toilets and people are rejecting them.

    18. JBJim Breuer1:12:06

        I could see that.

    19. JRJoe Rogan1:12:07

        Shitting outside is fun. In the woods-

    20. JBJim Breuer1:12:08

        I think so. Any, any-

    21. JRJoe Rogan1:12:10

        It's the natural way to shit. It comes out so easy. It's like, "Whee."

    22. JBJim Breuer1:12:13

        Yeah, because you're squatted down and it just-

    23. JRJoe Rogan1:12:14

        That's why they make those Squatty Potty things. You know those?

    24. JBJim Breuer1:12:17

        Yes.

    25. JRJoe Rogan1:12:17

        You have one of those?

    26. JBJim Breuer1:12:19

        Um, I don't.

    27. JRJoe Rogan1:12:19

        I have one. It helps.

    28. JBJim Breuer1:12:21

        I'm sure it does.

    29. JRJoe Rogan1:12:22

        You shit easier. You're like, "Whee."

    30. JBJim Breuer1:12:23

        I shit good, man. I wake up, pang.
