    (drumbeats) Joe Rogan podcast,…

    1. JR

      (drumbeats) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.

    2. WH

      The Joe Rogan Experience.

    3. JR

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (instrumental music) So what's happening, man? How are you?

    4. WH

      Oh, everything's groovy as could be. I'm happy to be in Austin. I love it here, you know.

    5. JR

      It's a fun place.

    6. WH

      Yeah, yeah. I mean, I'm... I stay here, so... yeah.

    7. JR

      Oh, do you?

    8. WH

      Yeah. And, uh... I don't know. It's like... Just... It's a... It's just a special place in this country.

    9. JR

      Yeah, I agree. It's perfect because it's like a blue city in a red state, and it's like even the really kooky liberal people are pretty... reasonable in comparison-

    10. WH

      (laughs)

    11. JR

      ... to like the kooky liberal people from California or New York.

    12. WH

      Yeah.

    13. JR

      It's balanced.

    14. WH

      Kooky liberals, yeah. I've been thinking a lot about that lately.

    15. JR

      Did you get a lot of that after Saturday Night Live? (laughs) A lot of kooky liberals coming your way? That, uh...

    16. WH

      Uh... (laughs) Yeah, that's-

    17. JR

      (laughs)

    18. WH

      That's a good transition there.

    19. JR

      That, uh-

    20. WH

      Uh-

    21. JR

      ... monologue was great, by the way.

    22. WH

      That thing? (laughs) Yeah. Well, I got a... I got a lot of blowback-

    23. JR

      Yeah.

    24. WH

      ... as I knew I would, you know.

    25. JR

      Yeah.

    26. WH

      Because, uh...

    27. JR

      'Cause you tell the truth. (laughs)

    28. WH

      Well, yeah. I... You know, it's just that you don't wanna say anything negative about vaccines, which I didn't. What- what I was talking about in that monologue was... was really about profiteering.

    29. JR

      Yeah.

    30. WH

      Okay, so World War II, necessary. Everyone could say that was a necessary war. Let's say this war on, uh, microbes was a necessary war, right? Why is anyone profiteering?

  2. 15:0030:00

    Yeah. …

    1. WH

      (laughs) You know, I mean, how many drivers?

    2. JR

      Yeah.

    3. WH

      Every single driver had to be vaccin... In, in, in, in, uh, uh, Atlanta, you... Every person on the crew had to be vaccinated, and you... If it was... You, you had the first vaccination, but when you got the, uh... What do you call the next...

    4. JR

      The boosters.

    5. WH

      ... the booster, it had to be within six months. If it's six months and a day, you won't work that day.

    6. JR

      Yeah.

    7. WH

      You know, it was very regimented. Everybody in every crew in this-

    8. JR

      And including people that had already been sick, so it didn't even make sense. Not only that-

    9. WH

      No, of course not.

    10. JR

      ... I mean, you talk to virologists, they say you never vaccinate during a pandemic because that encourages variants. You know, I posted that on Twitter, the study on Twitter, and p- so many people were attacking me. I'm like, "Hey, I didn't write the study." There's a study that shows that when you vaccinate with a non-sterilizing vaccine during a pandemic, it encouraged, encourages variants. And that's what happened. And they was blaming the-

    11. WH

      What do you mean non-sterilizing vaccine?

    12. JR

      So it doesn't... A vaccine that doesn't actually prevent you from catching the disease or spreading the disease.

    13. WH

      Oh, right, right, right.

    14. JR

      And that's what COVID is, or that's what the COVID vaccine is.

    15. WH

      Well, initially, it was supposed to stop you... It was 100% gonna stop the va-

    16. JR

      Yeah.

    17. WH

      And then the... Of course, that guy had to be modified. Uh, uh, it came to now it will lessen your symptoms. A completely-

    18. JR

      Yeah.

    19. WH

      ... unprovable (laughs) claim.

    20. JR

      Yeah. Well, there was never-

    21. WH

      And you pay me. (laughs)

    22. JR

      ... any studies ever in the beginning that ever showed that it stopped transmission. None.

    23. WH

      Right.

    24. JR

      Zero. All it did is it showed that it, it had an immune response. That's it.

    25. WH

      So you, you read Bobby's book?

    26. JR

      Oh, yeah.

    27. WH

      Yeah. And even the guy, uh, interestingly... You know, uh, Kary Mullis, I believe is his name-

    28. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    29. WH

      ... the guy who created the PCR test. Or, well, there was some discrepancy with other people. But anyway, it doesn't matter. But the guy credited, he said this vaccine... This, this, uh, test cannot prove, uh...

    30. JR

      Infection.

  3. 30:0045:00

    But every one of…

    1. JR

      see what the resistance is.

    2. WH

      But every one of those guys is getting money from Big Pharma.

    3. JR

      A lot of them are. A lot of them are.

    4. WH

      Well-

    5. JR

      But also the-

    6. WH

      ... certainly all the Democrats.

    7. JR

      People are paying attention now, and they will get primaried, and I think they're aware of that. So I think there's a vulnerability for their entire career. If the people find out that they weren't willing to do this in the face of overwhelming evidence...... you know? Like, Bobby was just talking about the hepatitis vaccine, that they were saying that the hepatitis B vaccine, they were having a hard time selling it. And so, they, all of a sudden, started saying, "Don't worry about it. We're gonna prescribe it for children." And they put it on the vaccine schedule for children. And they did that just because they were having a hard time. People... 'Cause the only time you get hepatitis B is from dirty needles and risky sex. And people are like, "I don't want that fucking thing."

    8. WH

      (laughs)

    9. JR

      And so, they're like, "Nobody was taking it."

    10. WH

      You wanna stand by (laughs) that statement? Those are the only times you get hepatitis B? (laughs)

    11. JR

      I think that's it.

    12. WH

      There's just two possibilities, (laughs) dirty sex-

    13. JR

      What are the other ones?

    14. WH

      ... and dirty needles.

    15. JR

      Do you know of any other ones?

    16. WH

      Well, I mean, I think-

    17. JR

      I mean, it's a tru- sexually transmitted disease, and it's often-

    18. WH

      Oh, it is? Okay, okay.

    19. JR

      ... transmitted... Yeah.

    20. WH

      Yeah.

    21. JR

      It's transmitted through intravenous, uh, drug use.

    22. WH

      Okay, then. I didn't know. I mean, I-

    23. JR

      Yeah, which is... How do you think you got hepatitis B?

    24. WH

      I just... I, I mean, I just assumed you get run down, like most sicknesses.

    25. JR

      No, I don't-

    26. WH

      You get run down, you get sick.

    27. JR

      Well, let's Google it. What is, uh, the cause of hepatitis B, Jamie? Infect the blood or body fluids. Yeah. It's- it's, that's how you get it. You don't get it as a fucking baby.

    28. WH

      Oh.

    29. JR

      So injecting babies with it, the only reason why they did that is to sell more hepatitis B vaccines. If the mother has it, but... Yeah, if the mother has it. Unprotected sex with an infected person, mother to child during childbirth, breastfeeding if the mother's infected. Yeah.

    30. WH

      Uh-huh.

  4. 45:001:00:00

    Right. …

    1. JR

      But Graham is also an enthusiast of ayahuasca and the power of psychedelic medicine, and he has often said that to run governments, it should be mandatory that you have psychedelic sessions, and-

    2. WH

      Right.

    3. JR

      ... you should probably do it publicly. (laughs)

    4. WH

      (laughs) Publicly. (laughs)

    5. JR

      (laughs) So you really find out... You know? I mean, if, imagine getting Lindsey Graham fucked up on mushrooms and then filming him.

    6. WH

      Oh, man, there, we'd love to see that.

    7. JR

      It'd be amazing. It'd be amazing.

    8. WH

      What I would give to see that.

    9. JR

      Oh, it'd be amazing.

    10. WH

      But it, it would be nice if they had a little more ... Be- because it's almost that those drugs that you're talking about are just, like, it's like the universal, uh, uh, y- God's little helper.

    11. JR

      Yeah.

    12. WH

      You know, help you see how the world really works.

    13. JR

      Yeah, God's little helper.

    14. WH

      How ... The illusory nature of what it is we're experiencing.

    15. JR

      Yeah.

    16. WH

      And to come from the heart.

    17. JR

      Yes. Yeah. Yeah, they, they, uh, encourage compassion, and they encourage kindness and love. And that's, uh, we need a lot more of that in this world. And that's the problem with being so politically and ideologically divided is, like, we, it's so, we're, it's so easy, 'cause we're, people are so tribal. It's so easy to hate the other tribe, the other people are the enemy, you know? And so we've got this bizarre thing where we're supposed to be a community, but we're a two-sided community, and one side hates the other side. And whoever's in power, those, those, that, those people are the problem. And it's like ...

    18. WH

      Yeah, that is such a weird part of the human, uh, you know, um, yeah, nature-

    19. JR

      Psychic, yeah.

    20. WH

      ... or whatever you wanna call it, psychology, is like, and I noticed just the other day, there was some dude, like, I was, I can't remember what the context was, but I remember he kinda came into my zone, and I thought, "Oh, this fucking guy, man, he's got ... Such an asshole, you know?"

    21. JR

      (laughs)

    22. WH

      You could just tell. You could just feel it, you know?

    23. JR

      Right.

    24. WH

      And then, and then I thought, "Wait, why are you ... W- what do you, h- what ... (laughs) You've got nothing that tells you that that's true, you know?"

    25. JR

      Right.

    26. WH

      "Other than maybe you're jealous 'cause he's more handsome than you are, so ..."

    27. JR

      (laughs)

    28. WH

      No, but in any way, and so I go, uh, (smacks lips) "How you doing?" And he smiles, and I'm like, "This guy is incredible." You know?

    29. JR

      Yeah.

    30. WH

      Like, you, just, all you need to do sometimes is just generate a smile on that other-

  5. 1:00:001:15:00

    Yeah. …

    1. WH

      you have- ask your average person, they never heard of this incident.

    2. JR

      Yeah.

    3. WH

      It's like an amazing thing talking about, uh... What's the term for that? The weaponization of a virus? Uh, do you know? He's looking it up.

    4. JR

      Term for the weaponization of a virus.

    5. WH

      Yeah.

    6. JR

      I don't know.

    7. WH

      Uh, anyway, uh, they, they do it. Well, that's what they think, uh, the... that they were doing in, um-

    8. JR

      In Wuhan.

    9. WH

      ... in China.

    10. JR

      100%.

    11. WH

      That they were weaponizing a virus.

    12. JR

      Well, that was why you would get banned off of all these social media platforms if you even brought that up.

    13. WH

      Right.

    14. JR

      I mean, it used to be if you brought that up on YouTube, you get pulled from YouTube. Now, it's fact.

    15. WH

      Right.

    16. JR

      Now, it's a fact. Now, it's-

    17. WH

      No. (laughs)

    18. JR

      Um, yeah, undeniable fact. All the things... Like you said about Robert Malone, all the things that he said are now fact. Everything. Every single one of them.... the fact that it doesn't stay lo-

    19. WH

      Oh.

    20. JR

      ... the, the injection doesn't stay locally, that it infects various parts of your body in different ways. If it gets to your heart, it's very dangerous-

    21. WH

      Mm-hmm.

    22. JR

      ... 'cause your heart doesn't have the ability to heal, which is why you don't get heart cancer. So, your heart just scars over and you get myocarditis. He, he started talking about all these different effects, and, and he personally was vaccine injured. So, he's the guy who took it, almost had a fucking heart attack-

    23. WH

      Yeah.

    24. JR

      ... was like, "What is going on?" His, his whole body freaked out, was deadly sick, managed to get through it, then started speaking out against it, then started doing more research and finding out what was going on. And then that was the collective freakout.

    25. WH

      Well, he, uh, i- i- it's, it's in- you know, it's incredible that so many people were injured, and yet it's still kind of not, uh, widely disgusting. I think people are discussing it, of course.

    26. JR

      More people are discussing it now-

    27. WH

      But-

    28. JR

      ... but it's still, it's still ... there's a lot of people that don't wanna bring it up 'cause they don't want the heat. They saw what happened to people that did bring it up, and they don't want that coming their way. It's still fresh in their memory and they, they keep their mouth shut.

    29. WH

      Yeah.

    30. JR

      But over time-

  6. 1:15:001:19:35

    Yeah. …

    1. JR

      than psychedelic drugs?

    2. WH

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      And that's why they're illegal (laughs) .

    4. WH

      (laughs) Exactly.

    5. JR

      It gets in the way. It gets in the way of this us-versus-them narrative that is, uh, so prevalent in our goofy society that's detached from these sacred compounds.

    6. WH

      Yeah, the herb, uh, you know, it really is a unifying thing. I've always... From the first time I tried it, you know, I just felt such bonhomie, you know?

    7. JR

      Yeah.

    8. WH

      Such compassion to everybody around me.

    9. JR

      Yeah, it makes you kinder.

    10. WH

      Also... Huh?

    11. JR

      It makes you kinder.

    12. WH

      Makes you kinder?

    13. JR

      Yeah.

    14. WH

      And then, you know-

    15. JR

      That's why they call it kind bud. (laughs)

    16. WH

      Kind bud. (laughs)

    17. JR

      That's probably why they call it that.

    18. WH

      I have a little of the kind bud. Yeah, no, I like the, uh, uh... The image of it as just a unifier, you know?

    19. JR

      Yeah.

    20. WH

      And so, that's what makes me wonder, why does Texas not just say, "Hey, let's open the doors to this"? It's not a bad thing.

    21. JR

      Yeah.

    22. WH

      You could have the best cafes in Austin.

    23. JR

      I know, yeah. Well, it's weird because there's certain weed here that's legal. What is it, Delta-9? Is that the legal stuff, or Delta-8?

    24. WH

      Oh, I know which one you're talking about.

    25. JR

      It's weird. It's weird-

    26. WH

      Yeah.

    27. JR

      ... because it's like pretty much just weed.

    28. WH

      Yeah, I never got into that stuff though. Yeah.

    29. JR

      It's just a different version of the plant.

    30. WH

      But it doesn't get you high.
