Joe Rogan Experience #2366 - Sam Tripoli

1. 0:00 – 0:35

   Healthier off the road, and why air travel feels increasingly chaotic

   1. NANarrator0:00

      (drumming music) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out. The Joe Rogan Experience. (energetic music)

   2. JRJoe Rogan0:06

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.

   3. NANarrator0:12

      It's nice.

   4. STSam Tripoli0:13

      It's amazing how not traveling all the time affects your health. You feel so much better.

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:18

      Yeah. And it's getting crazy on the interne- o- on planes now.

   6. STSam Tripoli0:21

      Oh, I know, man. Dude, like what happened where, like, these altercations are fairly regular? Like, at airports, you see them. Brawls at airports all the time.

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:33

      Yeah. I have a theory.

   8. STSam Tripoli0:34

      What is it?

2. 0:35 – 2:11

   “They don’t want you flying”: 15-minute cities, agenda claims, and incompetence vs. design

   1. JRJoe Rogan0:35

      They don't want you flying.

   2. STSam Tripoli0:37

      Oh. (laughs)

   3. JRJoe Rogan0:37

      No, no, no, no, dude. You think I'm crazy.

   4. STSam Tripoli0:40

      (laughs)

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:40

      You think I'm crazy? I'm dead serious.

   6. STSam Tripoli0:42

      You know?

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:42

      There's like a agenda 2050, and literally in there it lists no more commercial flying. And you see them at all these, like, WEFs and all this stuff in Davos.

   8. STSam Tripoli0:52

      Oh, that would be hilarious, like if it was only the elites that got to fly in private jets.

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:55

      Dude, that's literally the plan.

   10. STSam Tripoli0:57

       For real?

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:58

       They-

   12. STSam Tripoli0:58

       Okay, but do you think... That can't be responsible for brawls at the Spirit Airlines.

   13. JRJoe Rogan1:02

       W- Yeah.

   14. STSam Tripoli1:03

       (laughs)

   15. JRJoe Rogan1:03

       I mean, dude, they send in all these people all the time. I mean, it's crazy to me.

   16. STSam Tripoli1:07

       Wait a minute.

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:07

       Flights are always-

   18. STSam Tripoli1:08

       See-

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:08

       ... always late.

   20. STSam Tripoli1:09

       Right, right. But a lot of that happened because of the pandemic.

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:12

       All these military plan- planes are almost hitting commercial pl- I'd- I'm telling you, dude, they... If they want you in a 15-minute city, why do they want you flying around?

   22. STSam Tripoli1:22

       Okay. I see what you're saying about the 15-minute city, and I think that's true, but I don't think there's this grand plan to make planes slam into each other. I think it's, a lot of it is incompetence. Whatever happened with that-

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:32

       I'm not saying that it's not.

   24. STSam Tripoli1:33

       ... the Black Hawk-

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:34

       Yeah.

   26. STSam Tripoli1:34

       ... in DC.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:35

       Yeah.

   28. STSam Tripoli1:36

       Tha- that was a weird one.

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:37

       That was a weird one.

   30. STSam Tripoli1:37

       That's a weird one.
3. 2:11 – 4:10

   DEI, public safety competence, and whether chaos is the point

   1. JRJoe Rogan2:11

      But if you even study like the Vegas shooting, or, I mean, uh, the, uh, LA fires, they want you to blame DEI. Like, l- you... Do you remember when that one, that one, um, uh, fire chief or whatever was like, "Oh, if I come get you and you're too big, you're, you sh- you're in the wrong place at the wrong time."

   2. STSam Tripoli2:28

      Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan2:29

      Why would you say that? Why would you-

   4. STSam Tripoli2:31

      Hubris. It's hubris.

   5. JRJoe Rogan2:33

      I don't know, bro.

   6. STSam Tripoli2:33

      It's someone who gets in a p- Listen, you got an all lesbian crew.

   7. JRJoe Rogan2:37

      Right.

   8. STSam Tripoli2:37

      You got a woman who's, uh, the first head of the fire department-

   9. JRJoe Rogan2:41

      Right.

   10. STSam Tripoli2:41

       ... is a woman, and this lady is a woman.

   11. JRJoe Rogan2:43

       Right.

   12. STSam Tripoli2:43

       And they're all talking about how great it is if someone who looks like you comes to save you-

   13. JRJoe Rogan2:48

       Right, I get that.

   14. STSam Tripoli2:49

       ... and help you.

   15. JRJoe Rogan2:49

       Yeah, totally.

   16. STSam Tripoli2:50

       And like... So they're wrapped up in that kooky ideology, the, the, the absence of meritocracy and the absence of, like, s- physical standards for difficult physical jobs.

   17. JRJoe Rogan3:01

       Right.

   18. STSam Tripoli3:01

       To pretend that that's not necessary-

   19. JRJoe Rogan3:03

       Yeah, that's... They're destroying archetypes.

   20. STSam Tripoli3:03

       ... that you shouldn't be able to take a guy out. The guys that I knew that were all firefighters, the, the guys that I've known, one of my buddies is a firefighter who's a Bre- Brazilian jujitsu black belt. Another one is a fucking big giant Irish guy. Like, they're all, they were always big people.

   21. JRJoe Rogan3:18

       Right.

   22. STSam Tripoli3:18

       Because you gotta be able to carry folks.

   23. JRJoe Rogan3:20

       I agree, dude.

   24. STSam Tripoli3:20

       And you gotta be able to do, like, crazy physical things. You have to ax down doors sometimes.

   25. JRJoe Rogan3:25

       Yeah. (laughs)

   26. STSam Tripoli3:25

       You know, it's, it's-

   27. JRJoe Rogan3:26

       Right.

   28. STSam Tripoli3:27

       F- Imagine you take 100-pound woman and tell her to ax down a door.

   29. JRJoe Rogan3:30

       Okay. So I agree with what you're saying, but what I'm saying is, what causes more chaos, what causes more infighting is if you push everybody to this is DEI messing up and not that this whole thing is purposeful.

   30. STSam Tripoli3:44

       (inhales deeply) Okay. Um, so you're thinking that they're instituting DEI on purpose and they're putting incompetent people in positions of power on purpose so that they'll fuck up, so that people will complain-
4. 4:10 – 6:29

   Why Los Angeles breeds conformity: career gatekeeping, Hollywood auditions, and self-censorship

   1. JRJoe Rogan4:10

      Well, they probably are lizard people, but, I mean, this is... I mean, when Karen Bass... Here's the crazy thing about LA, very few people are calling out anything anymore. They've, it's a, it's a city of conformity that nobody wants to-

   2. STSam Tripoli4:22

      Right.

   3. JRJoe Rogan4:22

      ... rock the boat because to get a job in LA, you need a 20, 20 green lights.

   4. STSam Tripoli4:27

      Yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan4:27

      All you gotta catch is one red light and you're not working.

   6. STSam Tripoli4:30

      Right.

   7. JRJoe Rogan4:30

      So if you're out there going, "Hey, dude, this is like... Hey, man, what's going up with this? This seems pretty purposeful," you're not gonna work. You're just not gonna work. Uh, you could get mugged at a gas station pumping $7 ga- gallon gas-

   8. STSam Tripoli4:44

      Yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan4:44

      ... and still never complain about what's going on and still vote the same way because you don't want to rock the boat. That's the... And if you ask me, it's a big part of moving everybody into these big cities, is the forced conformity.

   10. STSam Tripoli4:56

       I don't think it's like that everywhere though. LA is particularly like that because of the, it's a city of conformity already because of Hollywood.

   11. JRJoe Rogan5:04

       Yes, yes.

   12. STSam Tripoli5:05

       'Cause you're auditioning for things.

   13. JRJoe Rogan5:06

       Yes, 100%.

   14. STSam Tripoli5:07

       The auditioning for things thing is crazy because it's really the only way to find out if someone's really good at acting, you give them a chance, right? But the way it's set up is like people choose people and if they choose you, you go on to have this incredible life. You become Brad Pitt.

   15. JRJoe Rogan5:23

       Yeah.

   16. STSam Tripoli5:23

       Right? But if they don't choose you, you become that guy that everybody sees at the party that's 45-

   17. JRJoe Rogan5:29

       Yup.

   18. STSam Tripoli5:29

       ... and, you know, dying his hair dark and-

   19. JRJoe Rogan5:31

       Yup. It's-

   20. STSam Tripoli5:32

       And it's not happening.

   21. JRJoe Rogan5:33

       It's a rigged game, dude.

   22. STSam Tripoli5:33

       And everyone knows it's not happening and maybe he's got talent 'cause it's weird. So you have to conform.

   23. JRJoe Rogan5:38

       Yes.

   24. STSam Tripoli5:39

       You have to say what they want you to say, whether it's about whatever political issue or social i-

   25. JRJoe Rogan5:44

       Kids getting transitioned.

   26. STSam Tripoli5:45

       Climate change.

   27. JRJoe Rogan5:46

       Yup.

   28. STSam Tripoli5:46

       Whatever it is. You can't have any, uh, opinions that break from the narrative.

   29. JRJoe Rogan5:51

       I totally 100% agree and that's kind of why LA, nobody's saying anything right now.

   30. STSam Tripoli5:56

       Yeah.
5. 6:29 – 10:56

   A jiu-jitsu interlude becomes a real talk about aging, injuries, and getting an MRI

   1. JRJoe Rogan6:29

      Oh, 10th Planet Van Nuys?

   2. STSam Tripoli6:31

      I need that. I need one of those.

   3. JRJoe Rogan6:32

      Well, dude.

   4. STSam Tripoli6:32

      You got me one?

   5. JRJoe Rogan6:33

      I got you... Alder.

   6. STSam Tripoli6:34

      Oh, who's running 10th Planet Van Nuys?

   7. JRJoe Rogan6:36

      Alder.

   8. STSam Tripoli6:36

      Oh, no shit.

   9. JRJoe Rogan6:37

      He brought... He gave me this.

   10. STSam Tripoli6:37

       Shout out to Alder. He's cool as fuck. Oh, nice.

   11. JRJoe Rogan6:38

       Here's yours. Yeah, dude.

   12. STSam Tripoli6:40

       Bro, I need one of those, though. I need the Wu-Tang one.

   13. JRJoe Rogan6:42

       Okay, I'll g- oh, dude, I- I- I- I'll get you one, dude.

   14. STSam Tripoli6:44

       Does that stink?

   15. JRJoe Rogan6:45

       No.

   16. STSam Tripoli6:45

       How- how bad does that smell?

   17. JRJoe Rogan6:46

       Why? You want this one?

   18. STSam Tripoli6:47

       Give me that one. Give me that one.

   19. JRJoe Rogan6:47

       Okay. (laughs)

   20. STSam Tripoli6:48

       Or later, later, later, later.

   21. JRJoe Rogan6:49

       No, no, I'll give it to you now 'cause it's hot in here, dude.

   22. STSam Tripoli6:51

       No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Okay, okay, okay, okay.

   23. NANarrator6:52

       (laughs)

   24. JRJoe Rogan6:53

       Oh, sorry. You gotta see my tits, dude.

   25. STSam Tripoli6:55

       (laughs)

   26. JRJoe Rogan6:56

       Here you go. This is yours.

   27. STSam Tripoli6:57

       I'm never washing this. I'm never washing this again.

   28. JRJoe Rogan6:58

       All right, it's yours, dude. That worked out perfectly. I'm like, "I'm gonna sweat like a pig the whole time."

   29. STSam Tripoli7:02

       Well, you know, anything Wu-Tang, I'm down with. That's like, that's on strip-

   30. JRJoe Rogan7:05

       10th Planet Van Nuys, I'm just getting murked by Mexicans the whole time.
6. 10:56 – 14:41

   Health insurance breakdown: Ben Askren’s lung transplant, AI denials, and malpractice fears

   1. STSam Tripoli10:56

      Do you know what happened to Ben Askren?

   2. JRJoe Rogan10:59

      Oh yeah, dude. That's so tragic and sad and just disgusting. It should be like, if they don't cover it, they should send all your money back.

   3. STSam Tripoli11:06

      How crazy is that? He had health insurance. He got a terrible infection in his lungs that led to, I think it's called necrotic pneumonia. He had to have a- a double lung transplant, and health insurance says-

   4. JRJoe Rogan11:18

      Crazy.

   5. STSam Tripoli11:18

      ... "We're not covering it."

   6. JRJoe Rogan11:20

      I- I... How is that possible?

   7. STSam Tripoli11:21

      That is an obvious catastrophic illness that just hit a guy, right? Like, this is not... He's not, like, a chronic smoker. There's not, there's not... There's- there's no terrible thing that he did. He just got sick.

   8. JRJoe Rogan11:35

      Yep.

   9. STSam Tripoli11:36

      And isn't that what health insurance is for?

   10. JRJoe Rogan11:37

       Yep, 100%.

   11. STSam Tripoli11:38

       And like, I wanna know, like, on what grounds can you deny something like that?... that see- that, uh, that seems to be, like, a break in the narrative. Like, something like that is, you can't say, "Oh, this person's responsible for that. They did something they weren't supposed to do because of their insurance."

   12. JRJoe Rogan11:57

       Right.

   13. STSam Tripoli11:57

       Like, no, this guy just got sick.

   14. JRJoe Rogan11:58

       Yeah, 100%. And that's what that whole Luigi thing was about. That company was using AI to determine whether you should be covered or not.

   15. STSam Tripoli12:05

       Right.

   16. JRJoe Rogan12:06

       And AI doesn't have any emotion or can't look at it going, "Well, we, maybe we should cover this." It's very analytical about it. And that's why that... I, I guess he was having problems with his, uh, back and just got pissed off. And that's what happens, man. And that whole thing was weird too.

   17. STSam Tripoli12:21

       Yeah. I heard he, he had, um, a screw loose too, though. His friends were saying that there's like... He had a break. Like, something went wrong in his li-... But that might be connected to the surgery, by the way. You know, if all of a sudden you need to get, need to get discs fused in your back and you're in constant pain, that could completely change the way you interface with the world.

   18. JRJoe Rogan12:42

       Yeah.

   19. STSam Tripoli12:42

       You know, Mike- Michael Bisping had his, uh, n- neck fixed and it didn't go well, and he had to get it done again.

   20. JRJoe Rogan12:47

       Oh.

   21. STSam Tripoli12:47

       And he was in so much pain-

   22. JRJoe Rogan12:48

       Brutal.

   23. STSam Tripoli12:49

       ... that he couldn't do anything. He could only basically lie in bed and then go do his UFC duties, and then go back and lie in bed. Just motherfucker was just in agony and keeping it together.

   24. JRJoe Rogan12:59

       I think-

   25. STSam Tripoli12:59

       He was keeping it together, but some people don't keep it together when they're in pain all the time, man.

   26. JRJoe Rogan13:03

       Well, you know, a lot of people think once you get to the hospital, you're safe, right? That's where the safe place is. And, you know, medical malpractice is one of the leading cause of death out there. And it's a, you know, y- y- y- nothing's an exact science, but yeah, they can mess it up. My, my grandmother on my father's side just went in to get a bag changed and she never left the hospital.

   27. STSam Tripoli13:22

       Jesus Christ.

   28. JRJoe Rogan13:22

       She passed away.

   29. STSam Tripoli13:24

       Jesus Christ.

   30. JRJoe Rogan13:26

       Yeah.
7. 14:41 – 17:23

   Obama, “change” politics, and the view that major reforms are managed theater

   1. JRJoe Rogan14:41

      You know, when Obama was a... I knew Obama was, like, not the guy I thought he was. The, uh, Obama's first term is the last time I voted for either a Republican or Democrat. That was the last time. So, you know, everybody wanted change. I didn't get into how they basically rigged that thing for him. You know, because America, after George Bush and Dick Cheney, hates old white neocons. And then who did they have, who did they have run against the slick, good-looking b- young Black guy who nobody knew was a Bush at the time? Who did they have? John McCain, who was the, the, you, you know, the poster child or the mascot for the (laughs) old white neocons, right? So they basically run everybody to Obama and were like, "Yeah, we're gonna have change." And he was running on, like, everyone getting healthcare and all that stuff. And then so they have this giant debate in Washington about, uh, you know, universal health coverage. And this dude gets on a plane and runs to Germany to give speeches and stuff like that during the debate on his major campaign, you know, issue. And I'm like, "Oh, dude. This is just a giant setup. It's all BS." And I've never voted for another guy-

   2. STSam Tripoli15:46

      Why did, wait a minute. Explain that. So he went to Germany to do what?

   3. JRJoe Rogan15:49

      Spee- give speeches. He was gonna go give speeches to the, to German diplomats and, and politicians and all that stuff-

   4. STSam Tripoli15:56

      Mm-hmm.

   5. JRJoe Rogan15:56

      ... while we are debating his, his campaign promise. And I'm like, "Why aren't, why aren't you here fighting for you, what you said you wanted to get us? Now you're out of the country, you're not even part of the debate."

   6. STSam Tripoli16:08

      Is it possible that they set those debates up at the same time where they knew that he was gonna be out of the country?

   7. JRJoe Rogan16:14

      Yeah. But if you're running a campaign and they're like, "This, it's in the heat of the debate-"

   8. STSam Tripoli16:18

      Right.

   9. JRJoe Rogan16:18

      ... when you're like, "I can't go right now," I-

   10. STSam Tripoli16:20

       Do you think it's possible that that was a plan? That they didn't want him there to defend it and it would be easier to shoot it down?

   11. JRJoe Rogan16:29

       Yeah, of course.

   12. STSam Tripoli16:30

       On purpose?

   13. JRJoe Rogan16:31

       Yes.

   14. STSam Tripoli16:31

       On purpose.

   15. JRJoe Rogan16:32

       And when he passes-

   16. STSam Tripoli16:32

       And, and do you think they scheduled those meetings at a time where they knew that they were gonna be doing the debate-

   17. JRJoe Rogan16:37

       Well, I-

   18. STSam Tripoli16:37

       ... so they could get out of him having to defend not, not having lived up to his campaign promises?

   19. JRJoe Rogan16:44

       Yeah. That's my whole opinion.

   20. STSam Tripoli16:46

       Well, there's got to be some 3D chess going on, right? We don't... And I know all of it isn't, but (sighs) there's some really smart people that are involved in the government, obviously. So th- they've got to be thinking like, "This is a way we can handle this." Like, there's probably a bunch of nerds in a room and they're brainstorming and someone says, "Listen, here's how we get out of it."

   21. JRJoe Rogan17:02

       Yeah. We send him to Germany and he's not even here.

   22. STSam Tripoli17:05

       We say there actually are no files.

   23. JRJoe Rogan17:08

       Yeah. (laughs)

   24. STSam Tripoli17:08

       We say there's no video. Even though he said there's 10,000 hours of video, actually it's not true. Those people should not have spoken. We can't find it. We don't know where it is. There's no list.

   25. JRJoe Rogan17:19

       And, and-

   26. STSam Tripoli17:19

       There's no nothing. (laughs)

   27. JRJoe Rogan17:20

       And I love how, like, when they, they shoot-

   28. STSam Tripoli17:23

       (sighs)

8. 17:23 – 20:52

   Epstein files and covert videos: Pam Bondi clip, media framing, and blackmail logic

   1. JRJoe Rogan17:23

      ... her just eating a salad, i- she's perfectly shot. You can hear everything she's saying. She's not s- I, I... Dude, my whole thing goes, everything is-

   2. STSam Tripoli17:32

      Who's eating a salad?

   3. JRJoe Rogan17:34

      ... Pam, Pam Bondi.

   4. STSam Tripoli17:35

      Oh, she was eating a salad while she was talking about this?

   5. JRJoe Rogan17:36

      Yeah, when, when Veritas or wa- j- James O'Keefe puts out that video-

   6. STSam Tripoli17:41

      What is the video?

   7. JRJoe Rogan17:42

      The video is her talking about how there's like tens of thousands of videos-

   8. STSam Tripoli17:45

      Oh, okay.

   9. JRJoe Rogan17:45

      ... of him hurting children.

   10. STSam Tripoli17:47

       Oh, so that video is, uh-

   11. JRJoe Rogan17:48

       Comes out like-

   12. STSam Tripoli17:49

       So that ... But, but that video is like one of those Veritas type videos?

   13. JRJoe Rogan17:53

       Yes. Yes.

   14. STSam Tripoli17:53

       He's O'Keefe? O'Keefe did it?

   15. JRJoe Rogan17:54

       Yeah, O'Keefe.

   16. STSam Tripoli17:54

       Okay. So it's-

   17. JRJoe Rogan17:55

       He's also the one who put out Karen Bass's phone call about her going, talking ... Have you ever heard it?

   18. STSam Tripoli18:01

       No.

   19. JRJoe Rogan18:01

       The super creepy, uh-

   20. STSam Tripoli18:03

       Bro, that phone-

   21. JRJoe Rogan18:04

       ... guy.

   22. STSam Tripoli18:04

       ... gets everything. He gets everything.

   23. JRJoe Rogan18:05

       That guy gets everything, dude.

   24. STSam Tripoli18:07

       And usually chatty gay guys.

   25. JRJoe Rogan18:08

       Yep, ch- oh, dude. And chatty gay guys-

   26. STSam Tripoli18:10

       All they do is send, listen, send in some ass-

   27. JRJoe Rogan18:12

       Yeah.

   28. STSam Tripoli18:12

       ... and they'll give away all the secrets.

   29. JRJoe Rogan18:14

       So I didn't know that, uh, that was how that ... I'd only r- read that she said that there was tens of thousands of videos. No, she talks about it in the video.

   30. STSam Tripoli18:21

       Oh, interesting. Interesting. "Covertly recorded April 28th, revealing previously undisclosed information about Epstein regarding tens of thousands of videos of little kids to a complete stranger in a DC restaurant." Okay, well, let's hear what it says. I wanna hear how she says it.
9. 20:52 – 24:25

   From ancient warfare to Afghanistan: taboo escalation, exploitation, and why institutions look away

   1. STSam Tripoli20:52

      So let's, let's think about that, right? We know that like the Spartans were gay, right? The, we know that they had sex with each other.

   2. JRJoe Rogan20:58

      Yeah.

   3. STSam Tripoli20:59

      You know, it was a big thing.

   4. JRJoe Rogan20:59

      Yeah.

   5. STSam Tripoli20:59

      It was part of like why they would go to battle so well.

   6. JRJoe Rogan21:03

      Right. Yeah.

   7. STSam Tripoli21:03

      They're fighting for their lovers.

   8. JRJoe Rogan21:04

      Their joke about the samurais.

   9. STSam Tripoli21:05

      Yeah.

   10. JRJoe Rogan21:06

       Boo-

   11. STSam Tripoli21:06

       Yeah.

   12. JRJoe Rogan21:06

       You know, back in the day about how-

   13. STSam Tripoli21:08

       Yeah.

   14. JRJoe Rogan21:08

       ... they were all gay.

   15. STSam Tripoli21:08

       Yeah.

   16. JRJoe Rogan21:08

       'Cause you're gonna fight harder if you know that dude got some DSLs, right?

   17. STSam Tripoli21:13

       (laughs)

   18. JRJoe Rogan21:13

       You're gonna fight way harder. Don't kill Bill. He's the best in the bunker.

   19. STSam Tripoli21:17

       Yeah. You're, you're fighting for your lovers.

   20. JRJoe Rogan21:20

       Yeah, right?

   21. STSam Tripoli21:21

       It's ... But it's also like there's a lot of ancient cultures that think of, um, having sex with women just for procreation, but with boys for fun.

   22. JRJoe Rogan21:31

       That's Afghanistan.

   23. STSam Tripoli21:32

       Exactly. And my friends that have been over there that have served over there, one of my buddies, I don't know if he said this publicly, so maybe I shouldn't say his name, um, but just the stories that he told me, I was like, "Wh- what?" Like, how w- like he was talking about how he saw this truck driver with his son. He thought like, "Oh, that's cool. He takes his son to work with him." And the guy goes, "That's not his son. Like that's his, that's his toy." It's called, that's-

   24. JRJoe Rogan21:56

       It's called man love Thursdays, dude.

   25. STSam Tripoli21:57

       Yeah, but it's not just-

   26. JRJoe Rogan21:58

       That's what they call-

   27. STSam Tripoli21:58

       ... Thursday. It's like-

   28. JRJoe Rogan21:59

       They go into the mountains. They think-

   29. STSam Tripoli22:00

       My friend was telling me that there was this one guy that was ... he worked on this base and he was kind of slow, like he was mentally slow and he had a colostomy bag. And he f- heard a bunch of noise and saw a bunch of dudes in the room, like in one of the storage rooms. These guys were fucking his colostomy hole. This old mentally challenged guy.

   30. JRJoe Rogan22:24

       Yep.
10. 24:25 – 32:15

    Culture wars as distraction: cheerleaders, media depictions, and ‘live and let live’ boundaries

    1. JRJoe Rogan24:25

       Have you seen the Minnesota Vikings male cheerleader? That is the shiniest dude I've ever seen.

    2. STSam Tripoli24:31

       No, show me this.

    3. JRJoe Rogan24:32

       Yeah, look it. He's a male cheerleader, and he's-

    4. STSam Tripoli24:34

       Shane was actually just talking about this. Shane was talking about this in the greenroom the other day.

    5. JRJoe Rogan24:38

       Yeah, he's shiny, dude.

    6. STSam Tripoli24:40

       Shiny? Oh my goodness.

    7. JRJoe Rogan24:41

       He's so shiny, dude.

    8. STSam Tripoli24:42

       Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness.

    9. JRJoe Rogan24:45

       Oh, man. And you-

    10. STSam Tripoli24:45

        Oh my goodness.

    11. JRJoe Rogan24:46

        Yeah, he's so... And you can see him like on, uh, Twitter, he's just like dancing around, and he's the shiniest dude you've ever seen in your life.

    12. STSam Tripoli24:53

        Ah, he's got a... The skirt? They wear the skirt?

    13. JRJoe Rogan24:57

        I guess.

    14. STSam Tripoli24:58

        Yeah, there he is in the front row.

    15. JRJoe Rogan24:59

        He's got shorts. He's got shorts there.

    16. STSam Tripoli25:00

        Uh, okay. Um-

    17. JRJoe Rogan25:03

        Cheerleaders are useless anyways. There's really no purpose of them. They don't do anything for the game. It was back in the day, like, how can we have hot chicks in football?

    18. STSam Tripoli25:12

        It's a weird role, and I don't have a problem with a gay guy doing that.

    19. JRJoe Rogan25:16

        Well, here's my opinion, dude.

    20. STSam Tripoli25:17

        Like why, why, but why would I care, right? Like, here's the thing. If you're in a, a stadium of 16,000 people-

    21. JRJoe Rogan25:25

        Football's like 70,000.

    22. STSam Tripoli25:27

        Bigger. 60,000. 60,000 people.

    23. JRJoe Rogan25:28

        Right.

    24. STSam Tripoli25:28

        Right? I'm thinking of a basketball game. If you're in a football stadium, 80,000 people, how many gays? How many gay guys are in the crowd?

    25. JRJoe Rogan25:36

        10%. We'll go 10%.

    26. STSam Tripoli25:37

        It's probably 10%.

    27. JRJoe Rogan25:38

        70,000.

    28. STSam Tripoli25:39

        Maybe, maybe a bunch of them are hiding.

    29. JRJoe Rogan25:40

        Yeah.

    30. STSam Tripoli25:41

        Maybe a bunch of them are closeted.
11. 32:15 – 38:57

    Programming, anxiety, and “pressure from above/below”: protest movements, chaos, and control narratives

    1. JRJoe Rogan32:15

       And that's powerful, powerful, powerful. Pr- So, my whole theory is that, that anxiety and depression and anger and all that stuff comes from when your programming and your reality clash and they don't meet up. Your programming from generational trauma, your programming from school, all that stuff meets reality, and you start to just go a little crazy. And I, I, and I-

    2. STSam Tripoli32:37

       Mm-hmm.

    3. JRJoe Rogan32:37

       ... think a lot of that is purposeful, to get us on pharmaceuticals for life.

    4. STSam Tripoli32:43

       Whoo. You think it's purposeful? So how would they engineer that to, to happen that way?

    5. JRJoe Rogan32:49

       Through s- Well, first of all, your, your grandparents, your parents telling you the, the trauma of, o- of your past, beating that into you forever. Like, I, I had, uh, I had my buddy's girlfriend on my show, and she's Jewish, and she was telling me, I go, "What's it like to grow up Jewish?" And she was telling me that her parents would tell her that she has to have three kids, one for each parent, and then one kid lost for the Holocaust, for, uh, someone lost in the Holocaust. And, like, think about that programming, dude. Think about what that th- over and over and over again, and to the point now where you're like, "Well, you know, these kids in Gaza are terrori- I mean, newborn babies are terrorists." I mean, that, that is heavy stuff. I mean, I've heard about the Armenian genocide my whole life to the point I got a tattoo right here about it. You know? Like, that is, you know, that is, that is your programming. Then you go to school and it's been infiltrated by all these culture Marxists, and they're just pushing this thing to get you to hate your own country, hate the establishment, hate all this stuff. So you have this entire country where everybody's fighting with each other, and that's all done to cause, uh, you know, maximum chaos, 'cause people are easy to manipulate and control when they're in a- anxiety. They're going to dema- And, like, this whole thing with, like, taking over Washington DC right now, everyone acts like this has just started. This started way back w- with BLM, the defund the cops. This has always been, b- been the goal. It's called pressure from above, pressure from below. You have n- You, you're afraid to go out on the streets and you have no faith that your politicians are gonna save you. So you, you have no hope, so you're completely and utterly lost and you're just demanding that you, you be kept safe, which is the ultimate goal, which is martial law. That's what they want and that's what they've been doing. And it isn't starting in Washington DC. This has started a while ago. If you study all these different kind of cultural clashes, that starts with BLM, that's Black people, then you go January 6th, that's white people, then you go to Asian hate, that's Asian people, then you go to No Kings, that's Latinos, and now you have the Supreme Court that is going to debate the legality of gay marriage. And if you go, "Sam, what do you th- what do you think is gonna happen?" I wouldn't see, I wouldn't doubt if they overturn it, 'cause that's gonna cause even more chaos. The streets are gonna be burning in rainbows, dude. And-

    6. STSam Tripoli35:07

       Yeah.

    7. JRJoe Rogan35:07

       And then that is what they want, martial law. There's all these la- you know, these judges who are completely politicized are, like, releasing people who are hurting kids or murdering people. That, that means you have no faith in the system, and that, that, that grows your anxiety. Now all of a sudden you're, you're angry, you're depressed, and you just, you don't trust anything. And ca- Now you want to basically give up your God-given rights to be safe. And that's, that is the goal. Pressure from above, pressure from below for Marxism. If you ever wanna watch a doc on it, it's really old, it's in '69, I watched it last night on Twitter. It's G. Edgar Griffin, and it's called The Capitalist Conspiracy. I've sent it to a bunch of people. I can't get anybody to watch this thing. And it breaks it down, dude. There was famous cases in the, y- like...... the s- the s- the '50s and '60s, where kids were, like, radical communists on the, on the campuses, and they said that, "Something's going wrong here." And they broke off, and they gave ... They testified in front of either Congress or Senate, and they basically said the goal is to basically bring in martial law. And these kids, who are all think they're raging against the machine, they don't realize the machine is funding all of this stuff. The, you know, it's like the No Kings.

    8. STSam Tripoli36:21

       Right.

    9. JRJoe Rogan36:21

       When it ca- the Latinos are really smart. Like, when Eddie and I do shows all the time, there's tons of Mexicans, tons of Latinos in the crowd. They get conspiracies. So when No Kings was happening in LA, there were, like, gang leaders who told their entire block, "Nobody can go to these things." Because they all found out it was funded by the Walmart heir. Like, that's what always happens. They al- the billionaires fund these kind of radical groups to sow chaos.

    10. STSam Tripoli36:50

        Well, also because they don't want that kind of crackdown on illegal immigration. Like, there's a lot of people who don't want that kind of crackdown.

    11. JRJoe Rogan36:58

        Yeah, because they don't wanna pay anything.

    12. STSam Tripoli37:00

        Well, there's that, and they're already hiring people that are illegals, and they have 'em working in their factories and working in their, their businesses, you know? I mean, and then there was, there's also the dispute about SNAP, about, uh, you know, cutting back on Medicaid and SNAP, and, like, w- who get ... Who has ... Who do you have to pay benefits to? Who do you not have to pena- pay benefits to? That was one of the things that this guy was telling me about ... Someone told him that he had a conversa- ... He had a conversation with someone who said ... I was really upset they're stopping illegal immigration, because it's a big part of what he uses for his business. And e- he was, like, open about it, and he was saying that he does it because he doesn't have to pay them benefits. You can-

    13. JRJoe Rogan37:42

        Yeah. (laughs)

    14. STSam Tripoli37:42

        ... pay 'em less, and you don't have to pay 'em benefits. Like, he was just saying it out loud, you know? So that-

    15. JRJoe Rogan37:47

        I-

    16. STSam Tripoli37:47

        ... that was part of the thing, too, of letting people into the country. There was, like ... You need more of a supply of people that are willing to do the construction jobs and the, you know, the slaughterhouse jobs, like jobs that ... Nobody wants to work in the slaughterhouse, dude.

    17. JRJoe Rogan38:02

        Right.

    18. STSam Tripoli38:02

        You know? Like, that's-

    19. JRJoe Rogan38:04

        Right. But I also hear them mos- always say, "Americans don't wanna do this job," and then my fat ass is going to fucking Wendy's at 11:00 PM, and I'm ordering a chicken sandwich, and the guy handing me the bag is 55 years old. I mean, Americans wanna work. That's a whole PSYOP that they don't wanna do some of these jobs.

    20. STSam Tripoli38:20

        Sure, but tho- those jobs are brutal, back-breaking labor. All right? If you're picking vegetables, if you're, uh, you know, you're working in a fucking slaughterhouse, dude, that's a brutal job. Y- you're around rotten meat all day.

    21. JRJoe Rogan38:34

        Yeah, I get that.

    22. STSam Tripoli38:35

        It's freezing cold. You're cutting things up. You're covered in blood. You're just around death all day long. Death is supposed to be something you occasionally see, you fucking (smacks lips) kiss it to the sky, thank God for the deer, and then you go-

    23. JRJoe Rogan38:50

        Yeah. (laughs)

    24. STSam Tripoli38:50

        You're not supposed to see slaughter-

    25. JRJoe Rogan38:52

        Yeah.

    26. STSam Tripoli38:52

        ... 24 hours a day.

    27. JRJoe Rogan38:53

        Avatar is that shit, right?

    28. STSam Tripoli38:53

        That's crazy. That's, like, not normal for a human being.

12. 38:57 – 54:21

    Movies, violence conditioning, and why people fight like they’re in an action scene

    1. JRJoe Rogan38:57

       And what's really weird is how, like, I've seen so much death in movies that when I see a dead person, which I think the first time I saw a dead person, I would be incredibly shocked. I remember I was driving home from Vegas with my then girlfriend, and there was a giant car crash, like a giant car ... I mean, it was nasty.

    2. STSam Tripoli39:16

       (sighs)

    3. JRJoe Rogan39:16

       She's like, "Don't get out of the car," and I'm like, "I'm a hero," and I get out of the car to see what's, everything's okay. And this one card flipped, pa-pa-pa-pa-pa.

    4. STSam Tripoli39:24

       Ooh.

    5. JRJoe Rogan39:24

       And there was somebody laying there, and the car was on top of them.

    6. STSam Tripoli39:27

       Oh.

    7. JRJoe Rogan39:28

       And somebody ran over with a j- a, a, a, a carjack to, like, get it up. I go, "You're gonna, you're gonna look at something you're not ready to see right now." It's like, it's done.

    8. STSam Tripoli39:37

       Yeah.

    9. JRJoe Rogan39:37

       But, uh, what I was blown away by was how not affected by seeing that I was ... I, I, like I ... And it's the first time I'd seen, like, outside of a funeral, I'd seen a dead body, like, that just had a violent ending.

    10. STSam Tripoli39:52

        Why do you think you weren't affected by it?

    11. JRJoe Rogan39:53

        Because I think I've seen so many movies where I've just-

    12. STSam Tripoli39:57

        Really?

    13. JRJoe Rogan39:57

        ... seen dead people that it, it just was like a movie to me. And I didn't-

    14. STSam Tripoli40:01

        Wow.

    15. JRJoe Rogan40:01

        ... have any reaction to it. When the first days I moved to LA ... You know, I, I, I, I've lived in LA since '98, '99. And like I, I was back there in the crazy days on Hollywood Boulevard when it was still thriving. And there was this weird store, and inside you could smell death. And I looked in, and there was something laying down there. And again, not affected by it. I go, "I think that's a dead body." And the guy's like, "Get outta there. There's no dead body. Go away." But it smelled like death, but I still was, uh, really amazed ... That was probably the first time I saw a dead body, and then this was the second one. But I, I was just amazed by not how affected I was-

    16. STSam Tripoli40:38

        Hmm.

    17. JRJoe Rogan40:38

        ... by seeing this. Like I'd been programmed and conditioned to see these things, which normally back in the day would be a giant moment.

    18. STSam Tripoli40:47

        I think a lot of people would be horrified by it. Maybe you're hardened by life, my man.

    19. JRJoe Rogan40:51

        (laughs) Man, I've, I've had a-

    20. STSam Tripoli40:52

        I think a lot of people would be pretty horrified. I don't know if it's necessarily deconditioning from movies.

    21. JRJoe Rogan40:57

        Well, I can tell you something. So I used to do, uh, USO tours.

    22. STSam Tripoli41:00

        Right.

    23. JRJoe Rogan41:01

        And the first time I go, I think it was with Bryan Kellen this time. No, that wasn't my first one, but I, I do ... Yeah, that was the first one. I, I did it with Steve Byrne, Dov Davidoff, and Bryan Kellen. And we had this very nice man who was showing us around. He was our, kind of our leader of, of our tour. And he was telling me that in World War I, they, they found that the guys couldn't shoot the enemy 'cause they didn't wanna kill them. They didn't have it in them to kill another human being. So he says that's when you start to see, in movies, guns coming out and shooting people. It's programming.

    24. STSam Tripoli41:37

        Hmm.

    25. JRJoe Rogan41:38

        And that's when it got real- way easier to start shooting people. Now that you got these video games where you're just m- going in somewhere and you're merking everybody.

    26. STSam Tripoli41:47

        And movies.

    27. JRJoe Rogan41:47

        Y- and movies-

    28. STSam Tripoli41:48

        Tons of movies.

    29. JRJoe Rogan41:48

        ... and video games.

    30. STSam Tripoli41:49

        Tons of movies. Tons of video games. We were just talking about that the other day when you see people getting in fights, like in parking lots and shit, that it's almost like people think life is a movie. Like you don't really understand what a fight is, like how dangerous it is and scary it is. And you're, you're doing it like, like it's ... like you're in a movie. Y- and I wonder i- how much of that is because people have seen people fight in movies, and they just don't ...... understand how crazy it is when there's no rules, and you're just hoping this guy fights worse than you do. You have no idea. You don't know what you're doing. You're probably drunk and high.
13. 54:21 – 1:04:03

    Wildfire conspiracies collide with mundane causes: PG&E, smart meters, and “cigar-shaped” sightings

    1. JRJoe Rogan54:21

       Well, that... Well, how about all these fire... This is the big debate on my tin foil hat. We, we debate it all the time. You have all these houses that are insinuated, and then there's all these trees that are perfectly fine. So, then you get into the debate, like, what causes fire? Oh, it's drought. Okay, but why are the trees okay? 'Cause they have water in them. Well, is, are we in a drought, or do we have water? And that's when you get into vibrations, dude. Like, high-

    2. STSam Tripoli54:45

       Oh.

    3. JRJoe Rogan54:45

       ... frig... You know, like... Yeah.

    4. STSam Tripoli54:46

       Vibrations?

    5. JRJoe Rogan54:47

       Like, radio waves and stu- stuff like that. That's... Th- they could... Dude, everyone thinks it's a direct... Uh, uh, that's a big part of this, that people think it's direct energy weapons.

    6. STSam Tripoli54:56

       Hold on, hold on, hold on. You're... You think fires are caused by radio waves, is what you're saying?

    7. JRJoe Rogan54:59

       Like, like, you know, dr... Well, some people-

    8. STSam Tripoli55:01

       We're going down a rabbit hole.

    9. JRJoe Rogan55:04

       Okay, so I, I wanted to tell you this story. So, right around the Paradise fires, right after that, Eddie and I are doing Tin Foil Hat. We do Bakersfield first, and then we go to, to Sacramento. In, in both, both shows, someone from PSG shows up.

    10. STSam Tripoli55:20

        What's PSG?

    11. JRJoe Rogan55:21

        P, P, PG... PSE... What is the, the, uh... PG&E, excuse me. The, the people who have the smart meters on all of these houses. They're the ones who run the electricity and the power for all of California. First, first show we do in Fre... In, in, in Bakersfield, a bunch of guys who look like Zero Dark Thirty show up. They're like, "Yeah, w- we work at PG&E." I'm like, "Oh, that's super interesting, 'cause that just happened." Then the next night I'm in S- Sacramento, and I remember this very well because it was the last night I ever drank alcohol, ever in my life. There was some hot blonde with a fat rack.

    12. STSam Tripoli55:56

        (laughs)

    13. JRJoe Rogan55:58

        (laughs) And I'm like, "Today my sobriety goes away." So, I have a shot with her. She tells me she's from PG&E. So, both nights in a row, we have people show up to our show from this company that everybody says could behind... Um, could be behind it with these smart meters, okay? So-

    14. STSam Tripoli56:14

        Can I ask you a question before you go on?

    15. JRJoe Rogan56:16

        How big were her tits?

    16. STSam Tripoli56:17

        This is... You're in Bakersfield, is that what you're saying?

    17. JRJoe Rogan56:19

        The, the first show is Bakersfield. That's where the second show-

    18. STSam Tripoli56:21

        And where's the second show?

    19. JRJoe Rogan56:22

        Sacramento.

    20. STSam Tripoli56:23

        And where do these people work? Where's their building? Like, where are they-

    21. JRJoe Rogan56:26

        I mean, PG&E's all over California.

    22. STSam Tripoli56:28

        Right.

    23. JRJoe Rogan56:29

        So, they were at different offices.

    24. STSam Tripoli56:30

        Both of those places, a lot of people don't go to, right? Like, it's... When you... Like, when people go... When, when we'd do a show in Bakersfield, back when I lived in LA, they'd be like, "Holy shit, someone came out here."

    25. JRJoe Rogan56:41

        Right.

    26. STSam Tripoli56:41

        Like, no one goes out there.

    27. JRJoe Rogan56:42

        Yeah.

    28. STSam Tripoli56:42

        So that's... I would imagine if you're at PG&E and you're stuck in some podunk fucking town.

    29. JRJoe Rogan56:46

        I mean, it's possible. It's very weird that two shows in two nights. I'm just saying it's-

    30. STSam Tripoli56:52

        It's okay.
14. 1:04:03 – 1:25:44

    Pre-Civil War “airships,” secret tech timelines, and how ‘hidden history’ arguments are built

    1. JRJoe Rogan1:04:03

       But they've had, they've had crafts since before the Civil War. They were building t- crafts that went 200 miles an hour.

    2. STSam Tripoli1:04:10

       (inhaling smoke) Okay, who's they and where did you hear about this?

    3. JRJoe Rogan1:04:12

       Well, the US government-

    4. STSam Tripoli1:04:13

       Before the Civil War?

    5. JRJoe Rogan1:04:14

       Yeah, yeah.

    6. STSam Tripoli1:04:15

       So before 1865-

    7. JRJoe Rogan1:04:17

       Yeah.

    8. STSam Tripoli1:04:18

       ... they had crafts-

    9. JRJoe Rogan1:04:19

       Yes.

    10. STSam Tripoli1:04:19

        ... that could go 200 miles an hour in the air?

    11. JRJoe Rogan1:04:21

        Yes, yes.

    12. STSam Tripoli1:04:22

        Who m- who made them?

    13. JRJoe Rogan1:04:23

        You could look it up. Uh, pre-Civil War, uh, aircrafts. They... Well, there was a j- gr- a gro- a bunch of like German scientists in America that were working with the US government.

    14. STSam Tripoli1:04:36

        So this predates Orville Wright?

    15. JRJoe Rogan1:04:37

        Y- I'm just telling you, bro.

    16. STSam Tripoli1:04:39

        Right? Doesn't it?

    17. JRJoe Rogan1:04:39

        Yes. Yeah.

    18. STSam Tripoli1:04:40

        Okay.

    19. JRJoe Rogan1:04:40

        I, I don't know. I don't know dates.

    20. STSam Tripoli1:04:41

        I think it does, right? Isn't Orville and Wilbur Wright, isn't that the end of the 1800s? When was that? You know what? I love that. You can just ask your phone. I'll ask my phone.

    21. JRJoe Rogan1:04:52

        I love it. Go on ChatGPT.

    22. STSam Tripoli1:04:54

        When did Orville and Wilbur Wright fly the first plane? 1903. So you're telling me that in 1865...

    23. JRJoe Rogan1:05:07

        Yep. I'm telling you.

    24. STSam Tripoli1:05:09

        In 1865 they had flying crafts that go...

    25. JRJoe Rogan1:05:12

        I've done multiple shows on it.

    26. STSam Tripoli1:05:12

        Well, as long as you've done multiple shows on it, it must be true.

    27. JRJoe Rogan1:05:14

        Brother, I'm the truth, okay? (laughing)

    28. STSam Tripoli1:05:17

        (laughing) Where the fuck did you hear this?

    29. JRJoe Rogan1:05:19

        I did... I had two guy... Joseph P. Farrell was on and he's like amazing and he was breaking down that th- that there were j-

    30. STSam Tripoli1:05:25

        What is, uh, Joseph P. Farrell's area of expertise?
