    (drum roll) Joe Rogan podcast,…

    1. JR

      (drum roll) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.

    2. NA

      The Joe Rogan Experience. (drum music)

    3. Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night. All day. (rock music)

    4. KM

      I have these shades, you know why? I'll save this gold, hold on.

    5. JR

      'Cause the future's so bright, you gotta wear shades.

    6. KM

      Oh, uh, nuclear war. The flash, you have 50... No. (laughs)

    7. JR

      Oh, yeah, it's good protection. I heard get under the table as well.

    8. KM

      (laughs)

    9. JR

      You remember that in high school? They, did they do that in your high school? You're younger than me.

    10. KM

      No, they, okay, yeah, so I'm '47.

    11. JR

      They used to tell us, "Get under the..." I was, I'm 10 years older.

    12. KM

      Yeah, my parents, they did that too. Oh, yeah.

    13. JR

      Yeah, they told you, "Get under the table." Like, what? (laughs)

    14. KM

      They did that surprisingly long. (laughs)

    15. JR

      It's like a mask for COVID. It's basically the same thing. Like-

    16. KM

      Yeah.

    17. JR

      ... that is not working. Getting under the table is so dumb. Like it's a fucking nuclear blast that annihilates buildings. You're saying get under my stupid desk with the clamshell?

    18. KM

      It's-

    19. JR

      Remember those desks with the clamshell?

    20. KM

      It's the only shot... Yeah, that's from my first desk I had-

    21. JR

      They kept the books in there?

    22. KM

      ... as a kid. We... It's the only shot we got.

    23. JR

      (laughs)

    24. KM

      Now, I saw Indiana Jones get in a fridge on that-

    25. JR

      (sighs)

    26. KM

      ... on the...

    27. JR

      Yeah, that was a good move.

    28. KM

      Where was he, at Trinity? I don't know. (laughs) He's, he's like a nuclear test and he got in a fridge.

    29. JR

      What the fuck?

    30. KM

      So, they really made them things back then, you know?

  2. 15:0030:00

    Yeah, about heroin. This…

    2. KM

      I brought to light how we are sending $40 to $87 million to the Taliban for about a year now. It's more than that. Uh, I, I've mentioned it quite a few times, and I've seen the... back before the State Department said they accidentally gave (laughs) them the money.

    3. JR

      Yeah.

    4. KM

      You know how we left the wrong way and left all our stuff and didn't disa- we thought it was disabled, but it wasn't. Well, that's the lithium triangle that, that, uh, Afghanistan's in. So, I'm sure that's part of the deal. We give them all our stuff. They, hey, they played a good game, give them some helicopters. And, uh, we, we can train terrorists there, 'cause most of the Islamicists came from us or Saudis or Israel or Pakistan, most of them. Uh, and, and we paid them, uh, like, $100 million out of the State Department. Maybe it was the U.S.A., U.S. aid, I don't know. But a s- a, a dude who showed me a video of it that he had. He wouldn't text it to me. He was, like, scared to text it to me. But this guy used to be a... he had an international press pass, and he showed me video of these Taliban guys, and they made, like, a, like, a fort out of American money. (laughs) They made, like, a, like, a way more than a chest-high wall of money.

    5. JR

      Jesus Christ.

    6. KM

      And so he wouldn't send it to me, but then two weeks later, the- it comes out in the news that they accidentally... So, they slipped in the tru- they slipped in that they gave it to them. But they have lithium there, 'cause that's the name of the game, right?

    7. JR

      I'm gonna say-

    8. KM

      Murderals.

    9. JR

      ... only the Sean Ryan thing, Jamie.

    10. NA

      Okay.

    11. KM

      So, he's, so he's right about that. He could-

    12. JR

      Sorry for the long pause earlier. I was trying to figure something out.

    13. KM

      So, he's right what he's saying, but I'm like, you weren't aware of this earlier, Sean? As a guy that ran a cartel (laughs) or whatever, that's where he came from. He's in Colombia running a drug network. They don't just let Americans do that unless they're like... you know? Come on. You d- you-

    14. JR

      Well, he was openly working for the government, right? When he was doing that?

    15. KM

      Oh, y- you don't think he was selling the drugs on behalf of the government?

    16. JR

      Well, what, what... I don't know what he was even admitting to doing.

    17. KM

      It's a, it's a Kim, uh-

    18. JR

      By the way, I really like this guy. I know you have issues with him. I've had him on the show.

    19. KM

      I don't have any personal issues with him.

    20. JR

      I like him a lot.

    21. KM

      Well, I don't have any personal issues.

    22. JR

      I think, I think-

    23. KM

      But I don't wanna say that. He's a killer.

    24. JR

      There's g- there's guys that get into the military, start working for the government, become agency people, get hired to do jobs all over the world, and I know a bunch of them. And they're some of the most interesting people I've ever met in my life.

    25. KM

      100%.

    26. JR

      ... but they don't agree with the way things are being run. And if they've done that, and then they step out, and then they start talking about it, like Shawn Ryan, you gotta kinda, like-

    27. KM

      That makes total sense.

    28. JR

      Yeah.

    29. KM

      That, I, that, everything you're saying is perfectly reasonable. Now I remember. When the Tesla, the guy who blew up his own Tesla outside a, Elon's-

    30. JR

      Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

  3. 30:0045:00

    Well, they- …

    1. JR

      pretty brutal measures for dealing with the Nazis.

    2. KM

      Well, they-

    3. JR

      Right?

    4. KM

      I know they did because they, as you know, copied them from us, where we started that first. That's the rocket fact.

    5. JR

      What? We started that?

    6. KM

      Yeah. Eugenics is from America. It's all from... All of the things are from America or England. All the things. You think of the, uh, Nazis as some like-... like an Al-Qaeda that somebody funded, 'cause it worked out for them at the time, until it didn't work out. At least it's like constant gain of function, right?

    7. JR

      (laughs)

    8. KM

      We just gotta cave. Look at the-

    9. JR

      Gain-of-function government.

    10. KM

      Yeah. That's what we have.

    11. JR

      That's a great, that's a great line, "gain-of-function government."

    12. KM

      Yeah, they, they-

    13. JR

      No, you're, you're on to something.

    14. KM

      "Hey, what if we make them more deadly?" "Oh, no! You guys gotta be locked down 'cause we cocked up some virus."

    15. JR

      Carroll recalled that some of the munchkins were German-born actors who'd performed throughout Europe in a midget troupe booked by showman Leo Singer, who arranged to bring them to the United States for filming. The Wizard of Oz allowed the actors to escape as Nazis began to extend their reach across Europe in the late 1930s. Whoa, when did they do The Wizard of Oz?

    16. GS

      '39, I wanna say? I don't know.

    17. KM

      Dude, you just reminded me-

    18. JR

      Whoa, they were already killing people in the '30s?

    19. KM

      You just reminded me of something great. No, but, uh, y- even... Okay. So, this is one of my favorite historical, um... So, you know how back in the day, the, uh, Jeffrey Hudson. Do you know about Jeffrey Hudson?

    20. JR

      No.

    21. KM

      The queen's dwarf in England? Uh, so back in the day... Wait, let me just see the year here. So, 1619 to 1682. He's, he lived kinda long, I guess, for that... Anyway, back then, royalty would collect, uh, like, you know, uh, dwarves, or if you were, like, really fat, because you had some gland problem, there's a girl in Spain like that-

    22. JR

      Right.

    23. KM

      ... and someone discovered you, uh, royals would keep you in, like, a menagerie. (laughs) Like, they're, "Ooh, a dwarf!" And you'd be, like, the court... Her dwarf.

    24. JR

      Hmm.

    25. KM

      Like a Paris Hilton dog, you know, from, uh... You know?

    26. JR

      Right.

    27. KM

      So this guy, Jeffrey Hudson, uh... I don't, I can't remember what queen it is, but for her birthday, they baked him into a pie. I mean, they didn't bake him, but they put him in a pie, okay? So then, she presents him this gigantic... this pie, this... And he jumps out, and then starts dancing on the table, and she loved it. I think he belonged to another noble family. It's like, "Well, you can have him." So then, he became her dwarf, and he had, like, a little sword. And, uh, he would... Uh, one of her relatives, he would, would disguise himself as a poor person and go... (laughs)

    28. JR

      Jesus Christ.

    29. KM

      Yeah.

    30. JR

      That laugh?

  4. 45:001:00:00

    I'll tell you what…

    1. JR

      to go in? That's the most important.

    2. KM

      I'll tell you what it is.

    3. JR

      But it's the ability-

    4. KM

      We're getting to it.

    5. JR

      I'm getting to it.

    6. KM

      Oh.

    7. JR

      But it's weird how much we rely on charisma and likability and th- just like the ability to form sentences in an eloquent manner.

    8. KM

      Mm-hmm.

    9. JR

      That's impressive. Even though that's only one aspect of what it would be... Like the most important aspect of being a president, I would think it'd be, be rational, be able to make decisions that are very difficult, know the correct direction, and be selfless, right? You- you're-

    10. KM

      Right.

    11. JR

      ... doing this for the country. That's the best version that we could think of as a president.

    12. KM

      That's what you have to look like, but what you have to be good at is looking like you're that, all those things.

    13. JR

      Yeah.

    14. KM

      And take orders from the people who are in charge of you. That's how it's run ever since they killed Kennedy, but probably before then.

    15. JR

      Well, I think that was ... I think that was true. I think when they killed Kennedy.

    16. KM

      That's the coup. You know the deep state term?

    17. JR

      Yeah.

    18. KM

      Peter Dale Scott, uh, he's a Berk- a leftist Berkeley professor.

    19. JR

      What is this fucking thing that I keep hearing, that there's a video of Lee Harvey Oswald?

    20. KM

      Oh, Luna. That's that chick. Luna said it.

    21. JR

      She said that there was a video of Lee Harvey Oswald-

    22. KM

      NBC has it.

    23. JR

      ... that NBC has it.

    24. KM

      Where he's like in front of the car or something.

    25. JR

      And did Oliver Stone tell her this?

    26. KM

      I-

    27. JR

      That's ... I read that on X. I don't know if that's true.

    28. KM

      Oh, I didn't hear that. Look, if true, it's explosive. You know, I sent Jamie a video about-

    29. JR

      But how would ... how could it possibly be true?

    30. KM

      Um-

  5. 1:00:001:06:24

    Right. …

    1. KM

      like a man though. But a lot of my friends, "Oh, no, he's going away. He crossed state lines." What does that mean?

    2. GS

      Right.

    3. KM

      With a gun, but you don't say the part, but your brain finishes it, right?

    4. GS

      Right.

    5. KM

      But watch the video. You can watch the video and see exactly what happened. Every part of the night of every character in the story, there's no mystery as to who was at fault and whatever.

    6. GS

      Right.

    7. KM

      So all you gotta do is look at that. That shouldn't even have been a case.

    8. GS

      Right.

    9. KM

      People... I told you my ex, uh, she, uh, uh, sh- uh, she's such a blue, "No matter who dips shit." She goes, "I don't need to see the footage."

    10. JR

      Oh, that's crazy.

    11. KM

      I go, "What am I, Galileo looking in a telescope, bitch?"

    12. JR

      Yeah. No, the story that's even more fucked up is he... The people that he was protecting were, I believe they were-

    13. KM

      Indian immigrants.

    14. JR

      ... Indian. Indian immigrants who were his friends.

    15. KM

      That white kids... Yes, white kids had burned down-

    16. JR

      Yes.

    17. KM

      ... Indian immigrants' property because they were mad about a Black man being shot by a cop, who, by the way-

    18. JR

      So they asked him to help them.

    19. KM

      ... should've been shot.... Jacob Blake was kidnapping two kids and going for a knife in his car, probably trying to get shot. He had just had a fight with that chick he had a restraining order with. And if you've ever been in a bad relationship, you know how Ragnarok it can get.

    20. JR

      (laughs)

    21. KM

      Right?

    22. JR

      Ragnarok. (laughs)

    23. KM

      And where, and people do death by cop all the time-

    24. JR

      Yes, they do.

    25. KM

      ... and that's what that... And then the governor, I found out when I played Kenosha, that governor or whatever went, and he kicked off the riot by saying, "Oh, we think the cop shot him." He just said something-

    26. JR

      Oh, Jesus Christ.

    27. KM

      ... really irresponsible that they would take you off the air for saying if it caused this. Right?

    28. JR

      Right.

    29. KM

      But that was the agenda to, to make that. I, uh, we all know BLM was a scam, right, and all the money went to a fat bitch?

    30. JR

      (laughs)
