The mass shooting in Las Vegas and the Orlando shooting in Florida have the entire country on edge on edge. It s the perfect time to talk about gun control and mass shootings. This guy should have been able to legally buy a gun, but instead he went into a casino and opened fire on a crowd of thousands of people with automatic weapons, killing at least 59 people and injuring hundreds more. This is the worst mass shooting we ve ever seen, and it s not even close to the worst in the history of mass shootings, and we re talking about it on this episode of the podcast. We also talk about how easy it is to buy a semi-automatic weapon like this type of weapon, and why it s a good idea to have a ban on it in the first place. And we talk about why gun control should be more difficult to buy weapons like this kind of weapons, and how we should make it illegal to buy them on the street. We talk about it all, and much more.

00:01:16.000Killed 59 people, injured 527, which is just fucking completely insane.
00:01:22.000I mean, 527 people shot, is that right?
00:01:27.000Or is that like, does that count people trampled?
00:01:30.000I think it includes people trampled and injured otherwise, but there were a hell of a lot of people shot.
00:01:35.000I mean, he opened up with automatic weapons into a crowd of thousands of people to where probably, you know, did any bullet hit the ground?
00:01:43.000Like, there were so many people at this thing.
00:01:46.000That every bullet probably hits somebody.
00:02:51.000But most of the people I talk to who love guns don't have a problem with registration, certainly don't have a problem with education, and what I call common sense gun ownership.
00:03:04.000And there are some guns that I get it.
00:03:09.000You know, and again, I'm not speaking with any expertise, but from the layman's point of view, it's like, why do you need this semi-automatic military-style weapon And, you know, don't tell me you have it for hunting or anything else.
00:03:25.000Like, if there's a reason you want to collect it, just like if there's a reason you want to own a race car, right, and somebody says, why do you need a car that does 200 miles an hour?
00:03:33.000Well, you may have a reason you want that race car, but you don't use it on the street.
00:03:37.000You can't take it, you know, onto the streets.
00:06:07.000You know, they have those giant EDM parties at the pools all summer that are literally surrounded by the tower of whatever hotel you're in.
00:06:15.000So that's why it's terror, because now you have to be afraid to do that.
00:06:21.000Well, not only that, like, this now, they're going to have...
00:06:25.000Some sort of screening when you go into hotels, which, by the way, why the fuck didn't they have them already?
00:06:31.000I've always thought this, like, the airports are so stringent.
00:06:34.000Like, you go through the airports, they check your dick.
00:06:37.000They literally will pat your dick if you hit a random, you know?
00:09:53.000The other big difference, and I'll tell you a Vegas story about that that's great I heard, but the other big difference is when you're on an airplane, you're trapped in that airplane.
00:11:16.000I mean, this is really what this is all about.
00:11:18.000I mean, this is a gun issue in the sense that he used guns, but then is it a truck issue in Nice, France, where that guy just drove into those people?
00:11:26.000I mean, there's a ton of different ways to kill people, and I'm sure we're going to see more of these fucked up ways in the future, but the real issue is a mental health issue.
00:11:53.000It could be genetic, or it could be that psychological thing of, I want to outdo my dad.
00:12:00.000This guy could be, I mean, no, this guy's a millionaire, right, and so on.
00:12:04.000So he's obviously a high achiever, but he could have that hole.
00:12:09.000I'm not kidding, he could have that hole where he always wanted to do something Bigger than his dad or he wanted some approval, you know what I mean?
00:13:31.000And if we do sweep and go house to house, man, people are gonna resist that.
00:13:36.000Because for every one of these psychopaths that winds up shooting people and gunning someone down...
00:13:43.000There's going to be genuine, normal people that want a gun to protect their family.
00:13:48.000Maybe they live in a sketchy neighborhood, and then all of a sudden the government comes along and says, well, now it's illegal for you to possess that gun.
00:13:57.000See, I think the solution is in between, and I think this is another one where we get, you know, this is a problem we have, and I can't even say when it started, when you have the two sides and it's either or, so it's either, you know, no gun regulations or Far too many gun regulations,
00:14:14.000and I think the solution's somewhere in between.
00:14:16.000In my opinion, it's always been like, why can't we treat them like cars?
00:14:20.000Like, when you buy a car, you register the car, right?
00:14:23.000So the government knows, like, Joe has this car, right?
00:14:27.000And then when you have to have insurance in case something goes wrong with the car and you hurt somebody, and then if you sell the car to me, You tell the government, hey, I just sold the car to Alonzo.
00:15:40.000Because we have, you know, just a couple of weeks ago where you had a four-year-old in Florida who was looking in their grandmother's purse for candy and shot themselves.
00:15:51.000And it's like, Grandma, there's a safety issue with the gun.
00:15:55.000Like, you don't tell the kid to go get some candy when you know you have a gun.
00:15:59.000I think there's a nutty number, like 21 people a year killed in this country by armed toddlers.
00:16:08.000I think it's 21 people are shot to death by babies.
00:16:12.000Yeah, and the other thing is, and you brought it up, like how, okay, if we didn't have guns, then they'd be killing, you know, with knives or clubs or something.
00:16:19.000Like, just that idea that we have to have that discussion, like, well, what weapon are the mass killers going to use?
00:16:53.000Even if it does cover, I mean, a giant percentage of the people that commit these giant mass shootings are either on psychoactive medication or are having withdrawals from psychoactive medication.
00:17:06.000So even if your insurance covers it, even if you're medicated by a doctor, There's a disassociative quality apparently with a lot of these antidepressants and antipsychotic medications that people take that with the right combination of biology, circumstances,
00:17:21.000genetics, whatever it is, people just can snap.
00:20:44.000But until we do that, we can never have a real discussion, right?
00:20:49.000Because everybody just suddenly circles the wagons around their herd and like, no, no, no, not me.
00:20:54.000You know, it's like, no, we're not saying all of you are bad.
00:20:57.000But let's admit within your group there is bad so we can work on that.
00:21:02.000Yeah, I've seen some tweets from some NRA supporters the last day and a half that have just fucking stunned me, where just shut the fuck up, man.
00:21:20.000I don't know when it's from, but people are putting it up now about me destroying the gun control argument.
00:21:27.000It's it would be very insensitive for me to do that and to put that up right now and I didn't it had nothing to do with I don't know when it was I think was from a year or so ago, but But the idea that these people, these NRA supporters, would go and tweet these pro-gun messages and get crazy with it now is exactly what you're saying.
00:21:49.000Yeah, and as many people have been saying, and it is a sad truth, look, if we didn't wake up after Sandy Hook, then, you know, if when 20, what was it, 21 kids were shot...
00:22:47.000Then, what we need to do, we need to come up with a system, just like we have with cars or anything else dangerous, where you have to be trained to use it.
00:22:58.000You have to register whatever it is with the government and you have to have liability insurance and that information transfers.
00:23:07.000Like the big loophole is the gun shows, right?
00:23:10.000Where you go to the gun show and you could just sell a gun to another person.
00:23:48.000I think it was Australia and some other places that had those things where, look, if you own an illegal weapon, like a fully automatic weapon or whatever makes it illegal, you can turn it in.
00:23:59.000Maybe there's payment or maybe it's just no questions asked.
00:24:45.000Like, guns have been illegal in New York City for a long time.
00:24:48.000Now, there are guns in New York City, but not as many as people think, you know, because what happens is when you make it illegal, then the average person, they don't go out of their way to get a gun.
00:24:59.000They're like, no, I'm not going to have one.
00:25:00.000Yeah, are criminals going to have guns?
00:25:02.000Yes, criminals are always going to have guns.
00:25:04.000But, you know, the thing about the good guy shooting the bad guy, it doesn't happen that often.
00:25:10.000And my personal belief on this is because in that moment, it takes a lot to shoot somebody.
00:26:02.000They're hoping that they can use it or scare people off or something like that, but most likely, yeah, they're not going to be able to do it.
00:26:09.000But, you know, then there's people that say, well, that's them.
00:26:12.000I want the option because I will be able to figure it out, you know, because I'm not a pussy or I'm not...
00:26:58.000And then, you know, his thing with, we were talking about, and I know it's the wrong term, but it's the common term, assault weapons, assault-type weapons, right?
00:27:08.000And he said, like, yeah, well, what if there's a home invasion?
00:28:22.000They're just silly, preposterous, unrealistic, but awesome.
00:28:26.000I mean, if you like that sort of John Woo-type violence, just off the charts, ridiculous gun violence, but it's cartoonish and comic book-like.
00:29:17.000Or they have the test, but it's like it used to be here with traffic school, where you just pay the guy and he gives you the certificate that you went.
00:29:26.000They do these tests for carrying concealed, but it's like you can do it online.
00:29:41.000There's a couple places where you can do it.
00:29:42.000Most of the places you have to go, and for a hunter safety certificate, you have to sit down through, I think it's eight hours of class, and go through all this stuff.
00:29:51.000Then you have to take a test, and you have to understand things.
00:30:17.000It's not even about knowing how to hunt.
00:30:19.000It's just about knowing how to not get shot or shoot yourself or shoot someone else and how a gun works and how all various weapons, bows and arrows, crossbows and stuff work.
00:30:31.000You don't have to do any of that to get a gun, though.
00:30:33.000I mean, if you just had to go through an eight-hour course to get a gun, how many less people would have guns?
00:30:37.000If you had to pass an eight-hour course to legally have a gun, how many fewer people would have guns?
00:30:41.000It would probably be like 30% of the people that have guns now.
00:30:44.000Well, and also, you know, they're saying this is the wrong time to politicize it, which, yeah, it is.
00:30:49.000It's time for a politician to stand up to the NRA. It's not politicized because every politician is afraid to say, we need to register all the guns because the NRA is going to attack their whole lobby machine.
00:31:02.000But it's going to take a politician who has the balls to say, hey, wait a minute, I can get...
00:31:07.000As many people following me, like, in other words, challenge the NRA and get as many people backing you as the NRA has.
00:31:15.000The best way to do it for these people is to not say shit.
00:31:18.000When they don't say shit, then they don't get the NRA attacking them.
00:31:23.000The politicians who know better, who absolutely know better, who know that our current situation is ridiculous and our system is broken in the gun laws, none of them will stand up and say it.
00:31:37.000Except the ones that the NRA already hates.
00:31:57.000It's another one of those common sense issues where we don't have common sense.
00:32:00.000I joke sometimes on stage, like I'm going to Canada next week, I'm doing a tour, and I had this joke, like, can you explain it to a Canadian?
00:32:10.000That should be the test for what's sane.
00:33:00.000Saying, okay, like, maybe this part, like the no pre-existings part of the health care plan, that's a good idea, so we're going to keep that.
00:33:06.000But maybe the cost of this is a bad idea, so we're going to change that, you know what I mean?
00:33:15.000There's certain freedoms that I understand, and, you know, the right to bear arms and so on.
00:33:20.000And, again, it was written in a completely different time, you know, so we need to update that right now.
00:33:27.000Taking into account everything that we deal with today.
00:33:30.000Well, one step at a time, if you're going to talk about the Affordable Care Act, if you're going to talk about health care at all, you've got to talk about what are the real issues, like what are the root causes of diseases.
00:33:39.000And a big part of the root causes of diseases are how people eat in this country.
00:33:42.000And if people eat poorly and they consume a lot of refined carbohydrates and a lot of processed sugars and their diet is filled with bullshit and they're drinking every day and they're smoking cigarettes, like, man, if you want to make those choices with your life, you are going to get diseases.
00:34:59.000That whole thing about salt being bad for you and salt raising high blood pressure and all that stuff, that was kind of concocted by one doctor and ran with.
00:35:07.000There's really very little evidence about that.
00:35:36.000Because are you eating like lean, like grass-fed bison with like asparagus and broccoli?
00:35:42.000I bet you're pretty fucking healthy if you're doing that.
00:35:44.000The real issue is are you eating burgers?
00:35:47.000They don't differentiate between the two.
00:35:48.000When you talk about people that eat red meat five times a week and the correlation between cancer, they're literally not even taking into consideration what they eat with that red meat.
00:36:00.000This again, Joe, this is what we're talking about the same thing because it's like the common sense argument is eliminated because the common sense argument is quiet.
00:36:09.000So you have the loud, the yelling argument of, you know, the meat.
00:36:14.000Lobby versus whoever's the anti-meat people.
00:37:19.000He did like 30 days, was that the name of his show?
00:37:23.000And one of the things he did was on hormone replacement, like testosterone replacement and things along those lines.
00:37:29.000But I know for a fact that the producers tried to go to legitimate doctors and the doctors turned them down because they said, this is not how you do it.
00:37:36.000You don't do anything like that over 30 days.
00:38:06.000You take your diet into consideration, like, what are you eating?
00:38:10.000I mean, are you getting these gigantic insulin spikes all day?
00:38:13.000Like, your hormone levels are completely dependent upon what kind of food you consume.
00:38:18.000So what they would do in a healthy doctor, the doctor that I was using, I don't want to say his name, but what he would do is for like the first couple months, the first thing you would do is change your diet.
00:38:30.000The first thing you would do is don't eat late at night.
00:38:33.000The first thing you would do is eat healthy food and they would literally check your blood nutrition levels.
00:39:08.000Like, what you've done is you've put together a show where you've had a terrible representation of something that millions of people engage in.
00:39:34.000Yeah, but then I've heard people also say they've done the same thing.
00:39:38.000They've done that Super Size Me diet and tried it for 30 days, and they didn't have nearly the negative responses, and they thought that they might have sensationalized that as well.
00:40:28.000For 10 weeks, Mark Howe, professor of nutrition at Kansas State University, ate one of these sugary cakeettes every three hours instead of meals.
00:40:37.000To add variety to his steady stream of Hostess and Little Debbie snacks, Howe munched on Doritos chips, sugary cereal, and Oreos too.
00:40:46.000His premise that in weight loss, pure calorie counting is what matters most, not the nutritional value of the food.
00:40:53.000The premise held up on his convenience store diet.
00:44:05.000In-N-Out came in, and they were like, wait a minute.
00:44:07.000Everyone's lining up for that California liberal burger.
00:44:09.000Yeah, well, if you're the unknown comic, and you're playing at a club, and Chris Rock is at the fucking arena next door, you can't get pissed off.
00:44:16.000Someone's got a better product than you.
00:44:17.000Let me speak from experience to that, Joe.
00:46:21.000We're talking about how different people react to different things.
00:46:23.000The peanut allergy is always like the best argument.
00:46:25.000This is the new thing, and I've only heard this recently.
00:46:29.000Actually, this year is the first time I heard it, where they're like, you can't have anything peanut-related on an airplane because a passenger has a severe peanut allergy.
00:48:42.000He said, like, you can do anything you want, 10 rounds, something like that.
00:48:46.000That is so ridiculously stupid of Steven Seagal, because all he'd have to do is pour water on his head, and that black shit would just run down into his eyes, and he wouldn't be able to see.
00:52:15.000There's guys that are retiring at 24, 25 years old.
00:52:18.000Why am I going to have a three-year career with possible concussion damage and everything else when I could play baseball or basketball for 10 years and leave with $100 million?
00:52:31.000They did a study on former basketball players, or former football players rather, and 111 players, 110 of them, had CTE. 110!
00:52:42.000Out of 111. There's the guy who was the doctor behind that movie Concussion.
00:52:47.000He was recently talking about O.J. Simpson because O.J. Simpson was released.
00:52:50.000And he's like, there's 100% chance that guy has CTE. And they've even said that O.J., if the trial was today, his doctor said that he would introduce CTE as a defense.
00:54:46.000There's no positive public appearance that OJ could make.
00:54:51.000No, the Attorney General, I think it was, Florida, was saying that she didn't want him hopping around her state playing golf, which is, by the way, it's not your state, honey.
00:55:11.000See, when someone gets a fucking release, right?
00:55:14.000You're released, you're on parole, you're released from prison.
00:55:17.000You can't just target someone because they're famous and they've been released.
00:55:20.000Like, you're dealing with a million fucking murderers are getting out every day.
00:55:25.000You're dealing, I'm not a million, obviously, but you're dealing with a shit ton of people that were armed robbers and have committed assault and rape.
01:01:09.000But yeah, when you're sitting at a light, and I know guys who go with, you know, a thousand watts, and their bags, their saddlebag is a speaker.
01:02:35.000Because when you listen to a guy like Robert Glasper, who's really hot now, or Herbie Hancock, like when you listen to Herbie Hancock play a piano, you're like, oh, that's how it's supposed to sound.
01:02:54.000There's times when it's out there and it's meditative and shit like that.
01:02:57.000But don't get me wrong, you might pass by, I might be cranking Jay-Z. I love hip-hop, love old-school hip-hop, the shit I grew up with, the old 80s, 90s.
01:04:46.000Revolutionary and groundbreaking at the time, because the culture was so childish and infantile, and its ideas and understanding of weird concepts or abstract concepts or things like censorship or racism or any of the things that Lindy Bruce covered,
01:05:03.000and when he was covering them back then, they were groundbreaking.
01:05:06.000But now, a lot of the stuff he's saying is just, duh.
01:05:09.000But I think a lot of those comics, because years ago we were having this debate.
01:05:33.000Like, Lenny Bruce, he wouldn't have been talking about the things he was talking about in 59 or 60. He'd be talking about the same shit that we talk about today.
01:05:42.000But he still would have had that brilliant comic mind, and he still would have been...
01:05:46.000Who knows what he'd have been talking about, because he'd have been kicking down doors today.
01:06:05.000I think it's just a matter of the time and the era that they existed in.
01:06:09.000But conversely, if you took someone from today, like if you took Dave Chappelle, and you had Dave Chappelle doing stand-up in 1960, they'd probably be like, what the fuck are you talking about?
01:08:14.000Like when Def Jam was big, there was a market for that kind of comedy.
01:08:18.000You saw a lot of comedians mold themselves into that market.
01:08:23.000Yeah, and I always thought, and I was lucky in that a few of the pros, like I remember Cedric the Entertainer was one, and Tommy Davidson was another.
01:08:35.000And George Wallace was another who told me, like, just do you.
01:08:39.000Like, you cannot, like, don't worry about that shit.
01:08:42.000Because the only thing worse than being a Def Jam would be a fake Def Jam comic.
01:08:49.000The only thing worse than not fitting in...
01:08:52.000Would be a fake Def Jam, like for me to suddenly pretend, like I grew up in Queens, you know, I grew up in St. Albans, Queens.
01:08:59.000Working class, black neighborhood, you know, my parents both had jobs, but we had a house with a yard and a two-car garage and a whole bit, right?
01:09:07.000Not rich, not poor, just working class.
01:09:09.000If I had tried to come at you like I grew up in the South Bronx, now I had friends from the South Bronx, you know, I had friends from Bed-Stuy, but it would have been fake.
01:11:15.000Because early this past summer, downtown Cleveland, you know, Ohio's got this, like one of the bad opioid things, and you would just literally see people on the bench just nodding, like going into a nod.
01:11:27.000Like, holy shit, this is, you know, I mean, it's been there, but when people are sitting out on a park bench just going into a nod, we got a problem.
01:11:36.000Yeah, well, the problem in Massachusetts, there was an Anthony Bourdain show he was doing about it recently, where the problem in Massachusetts was that they were giving out pain pills to people so easily, and people got hooked, and then when they tried to get off the pain pills,
01:11:52.000because they were tightening down the regulations on them, then people started turning to heroin.
01:16:02.000I think people just, you get told by your doctor that you're gonna be in pain, and you might be uncomfortable, so I have some pills for you, and you're like, Jesus, I better take these pills before it gets bad.
01:16:11.000I better take these pills before I can't take it anymore.
01:21:35.000Like, you just, what did Russell Westbrook just sign for 200 and...
01:21:40.000Whatever million dollars, you better believe his feet are going to be taken care of.
01:21:44.000Like, whatever shoes he's playing in are going to be the best thing possible for his feet, because you've got $40 million a year invested in that.
01:21:52.000When a guy gets a contract like that, do the hoes just start circling like vultures?
01:23:23.000Because like when you you think about like say the average person makes like what 70 grand 60 grand a year Is that minimum wage?
01:23:29.000I mean not minimum wage a middle class was middle middle class like 60 70 here in California it is I think across America I think it's like 40 something so but the idea that This baby would live like that.
01:23:45.000Even though the guy doesn't even know the kid, and she's taking care of it, doesn't even know her, if he has to be child support, you're playing child support lavish.
01:23:59.000You can't, like, the average person, like, if the average family is existing off of $50,000 to $70,000 a year, but this woman wants half a million for this super baby.
01:24:41.000Just had number 14. Took his $3 million deal from the Colts and immediately used it to settle a child support dispute with a baby mama to avoid possible arrest in the process.
01:24:51.000Cromartie was delinquent on child support payments to Rosamita Pierre.
01:25:28.000Which is why, you know, when you get to Kaepernick and the boycott of football, and some people are mad at the players for playing, it's like, that's why you gotta play, because you got 14 kids.
01:25:39.000Kaepernick and the boycott of football?
01:25:40.000What does that have to do with child support?
01:25:59.000This whole national anthem thing, along with football, is very weird.
01:26:05.000It's like, football players should be playing football.
01:26:08.000UFC fighters don't have to fucking stand there with their hand over their heart to show allegiance and to show, you know...
01:26:14.000Well, you're basically asking someone to be domesticated.
01:26:19.000You're asking them to follow the rules.
01:26:22.000The truth has come out like players didn't do it until, what was it, 2009 or something like that when the government started paying the NFL to have them do it.
01:26:35.000It's weird because you're asking them to be, you know, they have to give in.
01:26:43.000You're asking them to follow the rule.
01:26:47.000My problem with it, and I called it the misdirection, the protest never had to do with the flag.
01:26:53.000The protest had to do with cops and the treatment, and he just did it at that point because that's a powerful statement to do it at that point, you know?
01:27:06.000Now the misdirection, the changing of the topic is making it about the flag.
01:27:10.000And it's like, no, that's not what they were.
01:27:13.000They were never protesting the flag or veterans or Americans.
01:27:18.000And again, when you get into those rules of the flag, you're not supposed to have the flag on T-shirts or bikinis or hats or a million other things we sell.
01:27:36.000It's the same thing with these freedom of speech marches, like where, yeah, it's okay to have freedom of speech as long as you're saying something I agree with.
01:28:13.000Well, it just became a thing of when one guy did it and he did it as a protest and he said he wanted to start the conversation and then the conversation got lost.
01:28:22.000And now the conversation is completely lost and the argument is a completely different topic.
01:28:29.000And, you know, but yeah, what you said, control is definitely part of it.
01:28:35.000Same thing with the universities, right?
01:28:59.000You know, the problem with that article is they've had those speakers there forever.
01:29:02.000And then when they started having these Antifa protests, and they also started supporting these Antifa protests, that's a big issue.
01:29:09.000They stopped having cops go after the Antifa people, and the Berkeley, literally, the chief of police was literally telling people, the mayor, was telling the police to stand down and let these people protest.
01:29:22.000They were being very violent and attacking things, and you're setting up a reaction-action event.
01:29:27.000So if you have something like that where people are breaking windows and lighting things on fire or doing whatever they're doing, you're going to have people that say, fuck those people.
01:29:34.000We're going to meet there and we're going to protest the anti-protest people.
01:29:39.000And then next thing you know, you've got a real issue in your hands.
01:29:48.00020 years ago, 10 years ago at Berkeley, you could have had a speaker, a right-wing speaker that the school didn't agree with, and there would have been some protesters outside.
01:30:29.000It's one thing if two guys get into a fight, but if you promote that fight for a month, three months, six months ahead, that fight's going to be huge.
01:31:39.000I mean, if there's ever an argument that this is ridiculous, the fucking guy who was the host of The Apprentice is now the guy you're calling POTUS. Now, Joe, Joe, you're disrespecting the White House.
01:31:49.000Disrespecting POTUS. I mean, it's literally like the Pope.
01:31:53.000It gets to this almost like papal situation, right?
01:31:55.000And again, these are the same people who said the exact same thing about Barack Obama last year, right?
01:34:17.000And again, that's the part I call the misdirection, because initially when Kaepernick did it, It had some meaning.
01:34:24.000It had some meaning to him, and it was about starting a conversation.
01:34:28.000And when it became this bigger thing, like you're talking about, when it became this, oh, you're anti-American, you're anti-troops, or blah, blah, blah, now it's lost its effectiveness.
01:34:38.000Now, yeah, you got to do something else, because that doesn't, you're right, it doesn't mean anything anymore.
01:34:44.000People don't even know, they don't even know why you're doing it, but they hate you for doing it.
01:34:48.000Well, there's too many people doing it now, too.
01:34:54.000And now everybody's doing it because they're mad at Trump, talking shit about the NFL. So you're getting just giant groups of people doing it now, much more so than before.
01:35:01.000Yeah, and it's lost its effectiveness, it's lost its importance.
01:35:06.000And the players, a lot of the players get caught in the middle, right?
01:35:09.000Because if you do have a thing where your team says you can't do it, or you're going to be fined, or you're going to...
01:35:53.000They've also been encouraged, I think, to speak out, whereas I don't know that the NFL players are also encouraged to speak out in public on these topics.
01:36:02.000I don't know if basketball players are necessarily encouraged to speak out, or the big difference with the NBA, the players are bigger than the team.
01:36:25.000Where are we going where a fucking superstar pro athlete is tweeting, you bum, at the president of the United States who happens to be a reality show host?
01:37:45.000The whole thing, this football thing is very strange.
01:37:49.000It's very strange because now they kicked these two high school kids off the team because they're following their heroes, so they say, fuck it, I'm going to take a knee too.
01:37:59.000First of all, if you're taking a knee, you should at least be able to write an essay.
01:38:03.000Tell me why you're taking a knee, son.
01:38:05.000And you've got to know the difference between your, why you are, and why you apostrophe R-E. You've also got to be starting.
01:38:58.000They said, no, it's not a conspiracy because of the protests, but then they showed the numbers of various backup quarterbacks who are in the league, and he's better than a lot of them.
01:39:09.000And then one of the owners, I think it was Baltimore, where the coach wanted him, and the owner was like, no, I don't want him because of the protests.
01:39:16.000So it became a thing of where they said he's not blackballed because of the protests, but then it came out, yeah, he was blackballed because of the protests.
01:39:25.000And again, that's one of those things where, and you know this, with any athlete, your complaints depend on where you are in your career.
01:41:08.000Well, I'm a big fan of no anthem in sports because I like sports to be sports.
01:41:15.000One of the things I love about the UFC, there's no national anthems.
01:41:19.000They don't have to play the Brazilian national anthem when Jose Aldo's fighting or the American national anthem when Chris Weidman's fighting.
01:41:47.000This weird sort of way where someone taking a knee is supposed to protest Cops shooting people, but it doesn't say that while you're taking the knee.
01:41:56.000You're taking the knee during the anthem.
01:41:57.000The anthem is supposed to be all of us.
01:43:05.000It just came out now this afternoon, maybe even within the hour, that 1,200 players' personal data has been exposed in a leak by hackers in the NFL, including Colin Kaepernick's data.
01:43:16.000Personal information off of a server from the NFLPA, the Players Association of the NFL. Now, was that a hack there, or did they just have Experian or Equifax or whoever the hell it was?
01:43:28.000So they had a Bitcoin ransom they were trying to say.
01:43:47.000I was just talking to her this weekend.
01:43:48.000She has an accounting company, and apparently these hackers...
01:43:53.000Take control of your database, and they have an encryption key, and you have to pay them in Bitcoin to get the encryption key to get back your own data.
01:44:04.000Yeah, there's a giant group of people from other countries that engage in this, and they target large businesses and people that will be willing to pay.
01:44:42.000My question is, the more Trump tweets about this, ratings down, NFL bad, sad, he tweets that, and all the Trumpettes go along with it, and then they start boycotting people.
01:44:54.000I see all these fucking tweets boycott the NFL and all this crazy thing.
01:45:46.000Cause there's always, there's always the latest big story.
01:45:50.000And then that's the, you know, I haven't heard a thing about a Confederate statue in the last two weeks of them getting knocked down, of them getting put back up or whatever.
01:46:26.000She's talking about hundreds of people that got shot for going to a country music concert.
01:46:32.000Like, the fact that she just made this blanket statement, she thought they were likely Republicans because they were at a country music concert?
01:46:40.000You know, the thing about that, and this is the thing about freedom of speech that people forget.
01:46:45.000You have freedom of speech, but there's consequences.
01:46:49.000It's not freedom of speech without consequence.
01:46:51.000So she can say that, and then if CBS fires her the next day, it's like, well, you shouldn't have said that shit.
01:47:01.000Or you should have told your friends at the cocktail party, but the minute you made that public statement, we don't want to be associated with you.
01:47:08.000But it's what we were talking about earlier, this team thing, that someone could be so ideologically isolated, they're so locked into this liberal bubble, that they think it's okay to say something like that, that it's okay for mass murder to exist,
01:47:25.000and you don't feel bad for those mass...
01:47:27.000Because you don't agree with them politically.
01:47:54.000Yeah, vice president of business affairs.
01:47:57.000Yeah, Haley Geftman Gold wrote on her Facebook page, she was not sympathetic to victims of shootings because she claimed most country music fans are Republicans.
01:50:08.000Because a lot of those people that were in the audience, like one of the country music guys actually came out and said that he completely switched his stance on gun rights.
01:50:16.000He said, I've been a Second Amendment advocate my entire life.
01:50:20.000He goes, I have concealed carry permits.
01:50:27.000Yeah, guitarist, Las Vegas control, changed his mind in gun control.
01:51:28.000Because if our narrative is the Muslims are terrorists, they, it's they, they are the terrorists and the black people are criminals and the Mexicans are, you know, rapists and dope dealers and everything, then, oh shit, one of ours did it to us?
01:54:02.000And people do, but if you're in the government, if you're a policymaker, then you do more than just say that.
01:54:09.000You've got to put your balls on the line and step up and do something.
01:54:14.000Challenge the gun lobby about registration of weapons.
01:54:18.000It was easier for them to challenge the hotel lobby about security in hotels than to challenge the gun lobby about registration of weapons.
01:54:27.000But here's the thing about the registration of weapons.
01:54:43.000But you can still make it, like you said, if you made it more difficult, if you had to take a class, if you had to register, there'd be a percentage that didn't have them.
01:54:55.000Yeah, I mean, your shit should be locked up.
01:58:12.000There's a recent clip of him describing the potential Tyson movie that they might be making and the opening of it that they might have worked out.
01:59:45.000That was the only fight I saw that that was a movie fight.
01:59:48.000Like, yeah, we're just going to stand here and just punch each other until it's over.
01:59:52.000Well, Hagler just decided that that fight, I mean, he fought very strategically in most fights.
01:59:59.000You know, when he fought Mugabe, Mugabe was a murderous puncher, and he took Mugabe into deep water and then fucked him up and stomped him.
02:19:08.000Up until very recently, hemp was illegal to grow in the United States.
02:19:12.000Now, I know this for a fact because my company Onnit, we had to buy all of our hemp from Canada.
02:19:17.000When we sell hemp protein, which is one of the best versions of protein that you can get in plant-based form because it has a full amino acid profile, very easy to digest, and if you get high-quality hemp hearts like the stuff that we sell...
02:19:31.000Real easy going down like it doesn't fuck with you or give you gas like some people have issues with like whey protein if they have any sort of lactose intolerance and some people just doesn't doesn't agree with them Hemp is very easy digest.
02:19:44.000I mean I take a hemp protein shake and I'll go to the gym like an hour later and have no issues working out pretty hard Whereas some stuff just see oh I fucked up I fucked up eating but Because of all the laws that have been in existence since the 1930s regarding hemp and marijuana,
02:20:02.000that's one thing that a lot of people don't even realize is that the laws were actually put in place to stop hemp as a commodity, not really to stop marijuana.
02:20:30.000The reason why they used the term marijuana is because they could, instead of saying cannabis, which everybody already knew, instead of saying hemp, which everybody already knew, they said, well, there's this drug called marijuana, and these Mexicans and blacks are smoking this drug and raping all the white women.
02:20:44.000Yeah, that was literally what they said.
02:20:46.000Oh, yeah, in the 13th, that documentary, they talked about it.
02:22:47.000I've read this crazy article about the weed thing in Vegas.
02:22:51.000Like, they made a compromise with the liquor lobby that you had to have a liquor distributor license to distribute the marijuana, to literally take it to the dispensaries, and no one got the license, so they couldn't deliver it.
02:23:05.000I mean, I'm sure they figured it out, but initially, like, nobody could deliver it.
02:28:05.000The precise timeline remains unclear, including whether intelligence officers were the first victims hit or merely the first victims to report it.
02:28:14.000The U.S. has called the situation ongoing.
02:28:16.000To date, the Trump administration largely has described the 21 victims.
02:28:21.000Had the U.S. Embassy personnel or members of the diplomatic community That description suggested only bona fide diplomats and their family members were struck with no logical motivation beyond disrupting U.S.-Cuban relations.
02:29:21.000When I was in audio school, I remember we were asking our teacher if that's a possibility or whatnot, and I don't know if we ever got anywhere realistic.
02:30:48.000A bunch of people driving their cars, just shitting themselves on the train, shitting themselves on planes.
02:30:52.000Oh my god, that was amazing, but I hate it.
02:30:55.000Yeah, imagine you play it in the background of the most amazing podcast ever like you have.
02:31:00.000Some really cool person in here, really interesting subject.
02:31:04.000I remember Mythbusters tried to do this and I think they used a really, really big sound system to try to recreate this low frequency because it's almost impossible to get.
02:33:31.000Apparently, what we've tracked so far in terms of solar activity is just a...
02:33:37.000Tiny fraction of what the Sun is capable of the Sun is capable of some pretty wild variations and if those wild variations if it hits like a real odd end It could just fuck our entire system up.
02:33:50.000Well, we're at the mercy of nature always, you know, no matter how big our egos get over our What we build.
02:34:00.000Nature is like, I'll wipe that shit out in a minute.
02:34:27.000It's a dark monster because you don't see anything and you realize like oh that is fucking quadrillions of gallons of water that could just swallow up the entire city.
02:35:53.000Yeah, he said you got to keep a large sum of cash in the house as part of your disaster kit.
02:35:58.000Something I never would have thought of, but he said, yeah, if there's a disaster, the price of everything goes up and cash is the only currency.
02:36:05.000Like, you can't use credit cards if there's no electricity.
02:36:08.000Wasn't there an issue in Houston where people were getting arrested for price gouging on water and stuff like that?
