   4. JRJoe Rogan0:12

      Nice to meet you, man.

   5. DQDennis Quaid0:13

      You too, man. Really.

   6. JRJoe Rogan0:14

      It's been a pleasure. I've- I've seen so many of your fucking movies. It's always weird when you meet someone that you've seen so many times in movies, you know.

   7. DQDennis Quaid0:21

      Yeah.

   8. JRJoe Rogan0:21

      It's like, "All right. There he is."

   9. DQDennis Quaid0:22

      Yeah, yeah.

   10. JRJoe Rogan0:22

       "A real person."

   11. DQDennis Quaid0:22

       Yeah, there, there they are.

   12. JRJoe Rogan0:24

       (laughs)

   13. DQDennis Quaid0:24

       That's... (laughs)

   14. JRJoe Rogan0:26

       I didn't know you do, uh, you're- you released a gospel album though.

   15. DQDennis Quaid0:30

       Yeah, last, uh, last year.

   16. JRJoe Rogan0:32

       That's wild.

   17. DQDennis Quaid0:33

       Yeah, it's, uh, called Fallen: A Gospel Record for Sinners-

   18. JRJoe Rogan0:38

       How-

   19. DQDennis Quaid0:38

       ... because I wanted the biggest possible audience

   20. NANarrator0:40

       (laughs)

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:41

       (laughs)

   22. DQDennis Quaid0:41

       I could get.

   23. JRJoe Rogan0:41

       Gospel Record for Sinners?

   24. DQDennis Quaid0:42

       Yeah. (laughs)

   25. JRJoe Rogan0:44

       How long you been singing gospel?

   26. DQDennis Quaid0:45

       Well, you know, basically I grew up at the Baptist Church, and so it's five songs that I grew up with, and it's five songs that I wrote before and during the making of the record. It's kind of like my spiritual journey, I guess. That's the way it turned out in the end. My wife, she put the, uh, order together, and that's what it seems to be, kind of my journey in life.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:09

       Was this something that you had thought about for a while, or did it just kinda...

   28. DQDennis Quaid1:14

       Yeah, uh, yeah, I wrote this song, uh, called On My Way to Heaven, and, uh, I wrote it for my mom to let her know that I was okay after I got out of, like, rehab and for cocaine in 1990. And, um, then, uh, w- uh, then I wrote the Fallen, which is kinda, like, taken from, um... Remember that movie Thunder Road-

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:39

       Mm-hmm.

   30. DQDennis Quaid1:40

       ... with Robert Mitchum? You know?
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   Yeah. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan15:00

      Trump came out and said that he was going to, uh, stop taxes for tips?

   2. DQDennis Quaid15:04

      Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan15:05

      Of hospitality workers and-

   4. DQDennis Quaid15:06

      Yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan15:07

      ... he would- he wouldn't tax them on tips anymore?

   6. DQDennis Quaid15:08

      Yeah, that was, like, a month and a half ago.

   7. JRJoe Rogan15:10

      Yeah. And then, she came out-

   8. DQDennis Quaid15:12

      Yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan15:12

      ... and said she's gonna do it.

   10. DQDennis Quaid15:14

       Right.

   11. JRJoe Rogan15:14

       She's gonna stop tips.

   12. DQDennis Quaid15:15

       As if.

   13. JRJoe Rogan15:15

       And everybody cheered-

   14. DQDennis Quaid15:16

       Yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan15:16

       ... as if it was her idea. But here's the problem. In 2022, she was one of the deciding votes-

   16. DQDennis Quaid15:21

       Oh, the tiebreaker.

   17. JRJoe Rogan15:22

       ... to go after people-

   18. DQDennis Quaid15:24

       Yeah.

   19. JRJoe Rogan15:24

       ... that were not reporting their tips.

   20. DQDennis Quaid15:26

       Was that on the Inflation Reduction Act or the Green New Deal?

   21. JRJoe Rogan15:31

       Uh...

   22. DQDennis Quaid15:31

       The Green- Well, I think it was one and the same. I- Right, she was the, she was the, uh, tiebreaker on votes.

   23. JRJoe Rogan15:36

       Yeah, exactly. Exactly.

   24. DQDennis Quaid15:37

       So they're gonna tax the business, uh, instead, which in turn, taxes the, the workers that are there.

   25. JRJoe Rogan15:45

       Yeah. But it's hilarious that two years later, she's acting like this is her idea now.

   26. DQDennis Quaid15:49

       Yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan15:49

       Like, you had a chance. You could've, you could've swung it the other way two years ago.

   28. DQDennis Quaid15:54

       Yeah. Could've been right in there.

   29. JRJoe Rogan15:57

       It's just-

   30. DQDennis Quaid15:58

       I- Or that, you know, she was- All the brags that she was the last person in the room when it came to the withdrawal in Afghanistan.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   They were there at…

   1. JRJoe Rogan30:00

      i- involved in like shooting training and preparing for... It's like he was being groomed.

   2. DQDennis Quaid30:05

      They were there at least like 40 times, they said, uh-

   3. JRJoe Rogan30:08

      I don't know how many times.

   4. DQDennis Quaid30:09

      ... with that rifle.

   5. JRJoe Rogan30:09

      It was quite a few.

   6. DQDennis Quaid30:10

      It was, it was quite a few.

   7. JRJoe Rogan30:11

      Yeah. But the whole thing is very strange. It's like, how, how is this not like a deep investigation that's on the front page of every newspaper-

   8. DQDennis Quaid30:20

      I-

   9. JRJoe Rogan30:20

      ... where people are trying to figure out what-

   10. DQDennis Quaid30:21

       Outrage from it.

   11. JRJoe Rogan30:22

       Was this a government conspiracy to kill the presidential candidate?

   12. DQDennis Quaid30:26

       Yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan30:26

       What happened?

   14. DQDennis Quaid30:27

       Right. Was it?

   15. JRJoe Rogan30:29

       Well, and I thought-

   16. DQDennis Quaid30:29

       You know, you go back to the Kennedy... No, go ahead.

   17. JRJoe Rogan30:32

       I thought the moment he got shot in Levin and he goes, "Fight, fight, fight." I'm like, "It's over."

   18. DQDennis Quaid30:37

       Yeah.

   19. JRJoe Rogan30:37

       "He's gonna win this."

   20. DQDennis Quaid30:38

       Yes. Me too.

   21. JRJoe Rogan30:38

       "He's gonna win this."

   22. DQDennis Quaid30:39

       I said, "That's it."

   23. JRJoe Rogan30:40

       Yeah.

   24. DQDennis Quaid30:40

       Put up his fists like that is like... (imitates punching)

   25. JRJoe Rogan30:43

       And then next thing you know, Kamala Harris has one good speech and everybody's cheering, and you're like, "Wow." It's just completely flip-flop, all the talk shows, everyone's with her. A person who just a month prior was being hidden-

   26. DQDennis Quaid30:56

       (sighs)

   27. JRJoe Rogan30:57

       ... because she would say so many dumb things and she would blu- and every time she had to talk openly with no script, she would blunder and fuck things up. Now, all of a sudden she's the perfect candidate.

   28. DQDennis Quaid31:07

       Yeah.

   29. JRJoe Rogan31:07

       It's kinda wild.

   30. DQDennis Quaid31:10

       It's super wild. You know, they did have... and disenfranchised, uh, all those voters who had voted for Biden.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Well, that's what's nuts,…

   1. DQDennis Quaid45:00

      about.

   2. JRJoe Rogan45:00

      Well, that's what's nuts, right? But educated people that are not paying attention to this thing called gender dysphoria that has always existed.

   3. DQDennis Quaid45:09

      How do you think we get back... How do you think we get back to being able to have an exchange of ideas and, and not just, you know, try to put the other one in jail or-

   4. JRJoe Rogan45:20

      (laughs)

   5. DQDennis Quaid45:20

      ... try to dismiss them from society?

   6. JRJoe Rogan45:22

      It sounds ridiculous, but I think the only way is to do what we're doing right now, and to continue talking about it as reasonable people and have people listen to it, and it shapes people's opinions of things. They go, "Yeah, they're making sense." It is reasonable. And to pretend that these psychological conditions... There's a psychological condition called autogynephilia, where men get sexually aroused dressing up as women.

   7. DQDennis Quaid45:44

      Mm-hmm.

   8. JRJoe Rogan45:44

      And... But they're usually attracted to women.

   9. DQDennis Quaid45:48

      Yeah.

   10. JRJoe Rogan45:48

       So now these men are pretending that they're lesbians, so they're calling themselves lesbians, and they're getting on lesbian apps, and lesbians are fucked now, because now there's these men that are pretending to be lesbian that are occupying these lesbian apps-

   11. DQDennis Quaid46:01

       That have absconded their agenda.

   12. JRJoe Rogan46:02

       And if you don't want to date them, then-

   13. DQDennis Quaid46:04

       Yeah.

   14. JRJoe Rogan46:04

       ... you're transphobic and they'll attack you, and it's like, holy shit.

   15. DQDennis Quaid46:07

       Wow.

   16. JRJoe Rogan46:08

       These are the people that were perverts in the past. And now all of a sudden they're a part of a protected class. It's very strange. It's very strange, and it's not good, and it's not sustainable. And I don't know when people are going to fully recognize the harm that they've done to all these children, that they've had mastectomies and forced-

   17. DQDennis Quaid46:30

       Mm-hmm.

   18. JRJoe Rogan46:30

       ... these fucking drugs on that killed their body's ability to produce testosterone, and they, they try to say that they're reversible. There's not... There's no fucking reversing damaging someone's puberty. That's not true. If you put puberty blockers in a boy, that is not reversible. It is not true. Not only is it not true, there is a tremendous amount of evidence that shows that there's significant danger to taking those drugs. There's blood clots and strokes and all sorts of other... And then there's the fact that-

   19. DQDennis Quaid47:00

       It's not natural.

   20. JRJoe Rogan47:01

       It's not natural. None of it's natural, right? Even injecting them with estrogen, like to, so they can be their true self. If you're your fucking true self, chemicals are not invol... It's not injecting chemicals are not involved in maintaining your true self. That's nonsense.

   21. DQDennis Quaid47:15

       Yeah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan47:16

       And it's a crazy sort of a leap, a mental leap that you have to have to make that.

   23. DQDennis Quaid47:21

       Well, we've got to get... We've got to get back to a place... I mean, looking back at the '60s and... You know, we've, we've always been kind of a nation, at least in this century, of experiments, you know, that, uh, that go on as, you know, as a society as a whole. You know, you had the flower children of back then of... And that whole counterculture-

   24. JRJoe Rogan47:42

       Sure, the Riser Underground.

   25. DQDennis Quaid47:44

       ... relationship.

   26. JRJoe Rogan47:44

       All that shit.

   27. DQDennis Quaid47:44

       Yeah. But-

   28. JRJoe Rogan47:45

       Yeah.

   29. DQDennis Quaid47:45

       You know, back then, you knew who the leaders were. It seems to be leaderless today. You know, you had... Either you had Abbie Hoffman, you had, uh, you had the Black Panthers, we had Malcolm X, you had... You knew who... Martin Luther King. You had leaders of all these movements that you could have this dialogue with or this debate with. Uh, and now it's... Who, who, who are the leaders of Black Lives Matter? Who are the lead- leaders and spokesmen for, uh, this whole trans movement that's going on? You know, and some of it is... It's... It is political. Uh, but where are the leaders for that anymore?

   30. JRJoe Rogan48:33

       Well, I think the leaders are the tech businesses.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:15:00

   Well, you know, one…

   1. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

      which is crazy. Like-

   2. DQDennis Quaid1:00:01

      Well, you know, one could be swayed from that, too.

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:00:04

      Sure. Sure.

   4. DQDennis Quaid1:00:05

      You know?

   5. JRJoe Rogan1:00:05

      Especially at 20.

   6. DQDennis Quaid1:00:06

      Yeah.

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:00:07

      You know? Like who fucking knows what happened? Right.

   8. DQDennis Quaid1:00:08

      About who is dangerous and they're gonna have to get, you know, another Republican in there just, you know... But, uh, yeah. I've been reading this, uh, Unspoken. I've forgotten the author's name. Uh, but it was, uh, endorsed by, uh, RFK Jr., uh, you know, about the assassination of, of, um, his uncle, you know, the president, John Kennedy. And it takes every piece of information that is known and puts it in a book and tells a story from it. And it, it was our government, I think, that, uh, came to, th- that killed, that killed Kennedy. And, you know, through the CIA come, you know, the dark forces within, within our government. And if that can happen, then how about today? How much...

   9. JRJoe Rogan1:01:03

      Of course.

   10. DQDennis Quaid1:01:03

       Yeah.

   11. JRJoe Rogan1:01:04

       Sure.

   12. DQDennis Quaid1:01:04

       Who's running things?

   13. JRJoe Rogan1:01:05

       Right.

   14. DQDennis Quaid1:01:06

       If you, you, the only thing you can draw is, um-... conclusion you can draw is it's- it's- it's gotta be something like that. Only I can't- I can't understand why the CIA would, uh, want us out of Afghanistan (laughs) that way, or- or, you know, uh, w- why, uh, all the other stuff is going on. But I guess, again, that's for control.

   15. JRJoe Rogan1:01:32

       Yeah. It's for control, but it's also so multilayered and so hard to figure out what's going on. I mean, we know that they had MKUltra in the 1960s, and they did mind- mind control experiments on people.

   16. DQDennis Quaid1:01:41

       Yeah.

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:01:42

       And the idea that they just stopped that is silly.

   18. DQDennis Quaid1:01:45

       Yeah.

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:01:45

       That's silly.

   20. DQDennis Quaid1:01:46

       They went further. Th- that's- that's how we got all those other drugs that-

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:01:50

       Yeah.

   22. DQDennis Quaid1:01:50

       ... turned up at parties, right? (laughs)

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:01:53

       (laughs) Well, it's part of it. There's a- a- a- what was that g- this guy, Norman Ohler? He wrote, um, about, uh, drugs during the Third Reich and about how they experimented with, uh, LSD on concentration camp prisoners.

   24. DQDennis Quaid1:02:07

       Yeah.

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:02:07

       And- And all the stuff that they were giving Hitler, like while he was in the middle- and all the stuff they were giving the Nazis. They were giving the Nazis meth.

   26. DQDennis Quaid1:02:15

       Yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:02:15

       They were all on meth.

   28. DQDennis Quaid1:02:16

       It was crystal meth, in fact-

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:02:17

       Yeah.

   30. DQDennis Quaid1:02:17

       ... uh, that, uh, that's what they were so fanatical in going out there-
6. 1:15:00 – 1:16:56

   Right. …

   1. DQDennis Quaid1:15:00

      to have an intent-

   2. JRJoe Rogan1:15:01

      Right.

   3. DQDennis Quaid1:15:01

      ... for that.

   4. JRJoe Rogan1:15:02

      Right.

   5. DQDennis Quaid1:15:03

      And you can figure it out, even though he's, he's not here. You could figure out an intent, you know. Certainly wanted to get away, otherwise he would have had them on him.

   6. JRJoe Rogan1:15:15

      Right. Do you think he thought he was gonna survive? I mean, was it a suicide run for this kid? That's why I want to know what drugs-

   7. DQDennis Quaid1:15:21

      Yeah.

   8. JRJoe Rogan1:15:22

      ... was he on. We don't have any toxicology report on this kid.

   9. DQDennis Quaid1:15:26

      Right.

   10. JRJoe Rogan1:15:26

       Which is crazy.

   11. DQDennis Quaid1:15:28

       That is crazy.

   12. JRJoe Rogan1:15:28

       They have it for every school shooter.

   13. DQDennis Quaid1:15:30

       Yeah, the govern- ... The people are entitled to know-

   14. JRJoe Rogan1:15:34

       Yeah.

   15. DQDennis Quaid1:15:34

       ... the toxicology r- report. Uh, they... Jim Belushi died-

   16. JRJoe Rogan1:15:39

       Right.

   17. DQDennis Quaid1:15:39

       ... and they told everybody his toxicology report-

   18. JRJoe Rogan1:15:42

       Right.

   19. DQDennis Quaid1:15:42

       ... within, you know, three weeks for it, for it to come back.

   20. JRJoe Rogan1:15:45

       Well, it's because he died of it, right? He died of an overdose.

   21. DQDennis Quaid1:15:47

       Yeah, but still, I'm, still-

   22. JRJoe Rogan1:15:48

       Right.

   23. DQDennis Quaid1:15:48

       ... I'm talking about the right to privacy versus-

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:15:51

       Right.

   25. DQDennis Quaid1:15:51

       ... versus the public's right to know.

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:15:53

       Yeah. Well, in this particular ru- situation, the right to know is imperative.

   27. DQDennis Quaid1:15:58

       Yeah.

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:15:58

       Like you have to... Is there something that was given to this kid that made him do something that insane? Because there are things that they can give you that will completely distort your understanding of reality, and which is why they gave the Nazis meth.

   29. DQDennis Quaid1:16:14

       Yeah.

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:16:14

       You know, this is the, the whole reason for it, because you, you would do wild shit when you're hopped up on amphetamines.
