In this week's episode, the boys talk about a new virus that's been making its way around the world, and it could be coming to you from inside your own home. Plus, we talk about Alex Jones' new show on the pod, and the weirdest thing that s been going on in the world for the past week or so long. Also, the guys talk about whether or not Tim Dillon has the anti-puddies, and if he does, will it be safe to drink them in a wet market? And they discuss the possibility that the virus is actually coming from a lab in China, and that it s been circulating in the streets of New York City for a few months, but who knows if it s coming from inside or outside of your home. And, of course, they talk about weed and crack and crack cocaine and how it's a good idea to have them in your house and how to deal with it or not if you don't have them.

00:02:16.000Because there's some legit scientists that are actually, like one of the things they found out is that the origins of the virus in New York City, it comes directly from Europe.
00:03:16.000Research tracking spread of coronavirus determined that the virus has been circulating in New York City for a couple months since before the testing began.
00:03:22.000Genetic sequencing of virus samples indicates that most of the early cases in New York originated in Europe, not Asia.
00:03:28.000So it's some sort of genetic sequencing.
00:03:30.000Research team studied samples of the virus taken from 91 New York patients.
00:03:34.000As viruses evolve during transmission from person to person, their sequences can help research.
00:03:38.000This is what scares the fuck out of me.
00:04:03.000Because there's a lot of, they're circulating these stories that aren't necessarily the truth, or they're not, like, the media will be like, coronavirus lives 13 feet away from you.
00:04:15.000And then you read the article, and buried in the article, they go, well, doctors don't really know if these particles are infectious.
00:04:24.000So it's like, why do you have an article where the boldface headline is, coronavirus 13 feet away, 19 feet away, and then in the article you go, well, you haven't even determined if you can get sick.
00:04:33.000It's very irresponsible, but that's what they do today.
00:04:36.000News is strange today, because they're just trying to sell clicks.
00:07:50.000And that this is the consequences of the virus is that things are getting locked down.
00:07:53.000What's really bothering me is this idea that once you get control of people, that they're not going to let go.
00:08:04.000If they start taking away civil liberties, if they start moving you through checkpoints when you're on travel and you're on your car, you have to wait and they have to scan you or check your temperature.
00:08:17.000That stuff, I mean, are they going to let that go once a vaccine gets through?
00:08:23.000All of that is still left in place, right?
00:08:25.000All the powers that the federal government gave themselves after 9-11 have only been expanded in the years since.
00:08:34.000Obama only expanded Bush-era executive power, and he's been able to do.
00:08:39.000And now everybody's concerned now, but it's like the time to be concerned was probably a long time ago.
00:08:45.000Because now these things have become so big and so Orwellian.
00:08:49.000But yeah, this is going to be a problem.
00:08:51.000I think it'll be possible that you won't be able to get into maybe a sporting event or a concert without walking through some type of infrared sensor that detects if you have a fever.
00:12:21.000Well, if we didn't care about people, we wouldn't be doing what we're doing.
00:12:23.000I know that we do care about people, but we also have a lot of people going out, exposed, working in supermarkets, places like that, and we're not doing anything for them.
00:15:59.000So it was like it was somehow or another dormant in his system, and then when his immune system was shattered by whatever cold or flu he got, The malaria kicked back in again.
00:16:15.000What was that stuff that he said he got sick from, Jamie?
00:16:19.000He actually had toxic doses of this one malaria medication.
00:16:24.000They've had issues with soldiers and people that are deployed in malaria-infested areas where they take this stuff and they get this toxic...
00:16:32.000Reaction to this stuff, and he had taken much more than they were taking.
00:16:35.000He had taken a very large dose, and he didn't know that it was really toxic until too late.
00:16:39.000Well, yeah, that drug, hydroxychloroquine, is working.
00:17:55.000Michael Yeo told me that one of his buddies, who's a doctor, when he was feeling really shitty before they diagnosed him with COVID-19, his doctor said, or this doctor, who's a friend of his, said, take, I believe he said, take three Advil,
00:18:12.000or three to five, I forget what the number was, every, what is it, how many milligrams are they?
00:19:35.000I think it would be funny if people were getting negative for a corona, but then somebody's like, you do have HIV. That would be hilarious to me.
00:22:08.000You're generalizing an entire continent, or an entire country at least, an enormous country.
00:22:13.000It's just a subset, a small section of it that had the virus.
00:22:16.000Well, it's like the examples he used was like Lyme disease came from Lyme, Connecticut.
00:22:20.000But if something came out of Colorado and it was killing everybody in China, would they say in China, would they call it that in China, or would they say the U.S. flu, the American bug?
00:22:52.000A tension away from the fact that we were not prepared, and he knew, and everyone knew, not only him, Nancy Pelosi, all of these people, even Fauci, all of these guys came out and said, this is nothing to worry about.
00:23:14.000The World Health Organization in January was saying that it does not transmit from person to person.
00:23:21.000Yeah, but if you listen, if you're skeptical of China and you're skeptical of the World Health Organization, as he's very skeptical of China, you gotta...
00:23:29.000But the World Health Organization up until then had not been criticized the way it's been criticized now.
00:23:34.000Of course, but you still have to, I think, if you're the president, you're in a leadership position, you have to be like, wait a minute, what are we not knowing?
00:23:41.000The CIA wrote him a memo saying this could be a big problem.
00:24:16.000Well, first of all, the Defense Production Act, which I don't think he could have invoked that after this happened to force companies to make certain things.
00:24:23.000Right, but there was a lot of people that were thinking that this was just going to be like the flu.
00:24:28.000If the President of the United States said, we need more tests for this, absolutely we would have had more tests.
00:24:32.000But do you understand they didn't even have a test?
00:25:02.000So, I mean, I think the China virus issue helps him deflect from any...
00:25:06.000And I mean, listen, you can't go out during a pandemic when nurses are wearing garbage bags and falling down and go, hey, my press conferences are getting the biggest ratings they've ever gotten.
00:25:15.000No, that was the dumbest thing I've ever seen in my life.
00:26:01.000There's something going on where like a lot of states are going outside the system to like secure their – which part of their responsibility is to do.
00:26:09.000But it's just – there's got to be a better system going forward.
00:26:24.000And some hospitals may not need ventilators.
00:26:26.000But you've got to look at a city like New York and you've got to look at what's happening in China and you've got to go, there's a high population density there.
00:26:31.000We should probably try to shore up some of those hospitals.
00:26:35.000I mean, otherwise, what the hell does, you know, what's the point?
00:26:38.000But isn't it the people who run the hospitals, the administration of the hospitals, isn't their responsibility to make sure that they have PPE in place?
00:26:44.000The fact these people are wearing garbage bags, they don't have enough masks.
00:26:47.000Well, I don't think any hospital is prepared for a pandemic.
00:28:58.000There was a guy in Long Island who used to tell us all the time when we were very young at comedy, he'd sit in the green room and he would give us a speech about how to do stand-up.
00:29:08.000And then he'd go on stage and bomb horribly.
00:29:10.000And then he'd walk off stage and then look at us and he would go, they were good.
00:32:21.000I thought they were going to, developers were going to sell like, I would just stand outside mass smoking cigarettes being like, developers are eventually going to buy up my yard.
00:32:30.000And I thought this was all gonna work out and I had a two-year mortgage and then it ballooned and it went from what it was to like, you know, it went up like- How much are you paying a month?
00:32:40.000I think in the beginning, it was $4,400 in the beginning.
00:33:04.00022. And I was working in mortgages, and I thought it was going to work out.
00:33:07.000Like, I thought we were all going to be okay.
00:33:08.000Because everybody I knew was, you know, 27 years old, and they were making $30,000 a month, and they were driving, like, you know, Porsches.
00:33:16.000So I said, this is just going to go on forever.
00:34:49.000You can never do that with student loans.
00:34:52.000Well, student loans, because they think that whatever money you make in your life is the direct result of the money they gave you to get that degree.
00:35:01.000Even if you're not doing anything that has anything to do with that degree, they're like, listen, fucker, we gave you that money so you could be a vet tech.
00:35:18.000They just take you when you're a kid, when your fucking frontal lobe isn't fully formed, and they force a loan onto you because you don't want to be a loser.
00:35:27.000I don't feel bad for any of those kids.
00:35:46.000But the thing is, like, the reason why they're doing it in the first place is because they don't want to be a loser, and then they get strapped down with this insane amount of debt...
00:36:29.000Just the fact that it operates under a different rule, and it's the one thing that seems not mandatory, but really, really, really enforced.
00:36:40.000I mean, it's a thing that's, like, encouraged to the extreme.
00:37:09.000So I think you just got to kind of decouple The government from a lot of these schools, and then schools are like, okay, we can't charge $40,000 a year because no one will pay it.
00:37:19.000Well, what I'm hoping is that it's going to be like...
00:37:21.000My kids right now are in virtual school.
00:38:29.000If you look at what schools are, it's a way to get your kid out of your hair for 8 or 10 hours a day because most people have to go to work.
00:38:35.000They can't afford to pay somebody to watch their kids.
00:40:12.000The idea that all these fucking crackpot conspiracy theories have that Bill Gates is the Antichrist because he wants to get people inoculated with vaccines and viruses, that he's somehow or another trying to control people.
00:40:39.000He's using his foundation to try to help people get healthy, help people get internet, help people get running water.
00:40:49.000But they have, I mean, listen, they've done things in the third world, like they've introduced certain vaccines and stuff that have had adverse health consequences for people.
00:40:57.000I mean, you can look it up, but this has literally happened.
00:40:59.000I mean, they've been involved with things where it hasn't gone well.
00:41:01.000But when you say something like that, if you don't want to get sued by the richest man in the world, and you're going to, he's coming after you right now.
00:41:06.000I will gladly get in a high-profile legal battle with Bill Gates right now.
00:42:33.000Like his company, his health initiatives, all of these things work together and that you have to trust that everybody's motives are pure.
00:42:42.000I don't think he's trying to depopulate the world, but these people stand to make lots and lots of money if people adopt certain vaccines, right?
00:42:50.000Or certain things that are maybe medically advantageous, maybe not, maybe necessary, maybe not.
00:44:21.000The Kamam district in Telangana Then a part of undivided Andhra Pradesh became sites for observational studies for a cervical cancer vaccine that was administered to thousands of girls.
00:44:57.000The girls were administered the human papillomavirus vaccine in three rounds that year under the supervision of state health department officials.
00:45:09.000The vaccine used was Gardasil, manufactured by Merck.
00:45:15.000Months later, many girls started falling ill, and by 2010, five of them died.
00:45:47.000Manufactured by GSK. Earlier in the week, the Associated Press reported that scores of teenage girls were hospitalized in a small town In northern Colombia with symptoms that parents suspected could be adverse reaction to Gardasil.
00:46:01.000So some people died from this vaccine.
00:46:03.000But is it Google HPV vaccine dangerous reactions?
00:46:09.000Because I've read that there's a certain percentage, whether it's, you know, one-tenth or one-percent or whatever it is that some people get.
00:46:16.000When anyone stands to make billions of dollars and institute something that's going to be very widely accepted as now necessary for life, You know, you have to ask questions about it.
00:46:29.000According to HPV vaccine manufacturers, the most common adverse reactions to Gardasil include pain, swelling, redness, stinging, bruising, bleeding at the injection site, and headache, fever, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain.
00:46:52.000I understand, but the idea that this is how he wants to make his money by vaccinating people, there's a reason why he's doing that to make money.
00:47:01.000Who tell us what is and isn't necessary and how things are going to be, right?
00:47:23.000Now we're talking about a totally different thing, and I agree with you.
00:47:26.000See, the thing is before 2000, let's say 2000, no one had any inkling whatsoever that social media was going to have an impact on political realms, on the way, you know, just language What sort of discourse was allowed?
00:48:03.000But he was talking about how we didn't know that our data, in terms of our search history, the stuff that we go to, where we travel to with Google Maps, we didn't know that that data was a commodity.
00:48:15.000And so we signed off on one of the most valuable commodities in the world.
00:48:21.000And these companies, not only do they gather out this commodity, but then they use their influence to influence social aspects of our culture.
00:48:32.000The way we communicate, what's allowed, what's not allowed.
00:48:37.000Because these people, a lot of them are socially inept.
00:48:40.000I mean, all the stuff you were talking about at the beginning, when they're going to come to you and they're going to say, you need a card, you need this, you need that, the free flow of travel, how you're allowed to travel around the country and the world, a lot of these people, whether it's Gates or whoever, are going to have a huge input in those laws that are made.
00:48:58.000And they're going to think they're doing it for a good reason.
00:53:54.000Look, if you're in Brazil, Brazil's a good example.
00:53:57.000You have a lot of haves and a lot of have-nots.
00:53:59.000And when you go there, one of the things you see is barbed wire around people's houses and long, tall fences and walls and then a barbed wire on top of it.
00:54:09.000And then above that, in the favelas, you see houses with no windows and dirt floors.
00:55:21.000It's all weird because we're in uncharted territory.
00:55:24.000We've never, in the history of this country, had a month where everybody was locked down and stayed inside.
00:55:30.000There were some lockdowns apparently in 1918 during the Spanish flu, but that was, you know, it's hard to know what the difference was between then and, you know, when they were locked down, whether they wore masks, you know.
00:56:05.000I mean, I tend to think that people, you know, they did a study in Ohio.
00:56:08.000Ohio didn't have, and I have the facts, Ohio didn't have, Ohio, you could look it up.
00:56:14.000They didn't officially close restaurants until the 25th, but for the 10 days prior to that, 10 to 15 days prior, foot traffic had dropped 50%.
00:56:21.000So people didn't need an order or a law saying not to go out.
01:00:38.000He has a whole section in this book that he wrote from three years ago, from 2017, about wet markets and how the next pandemic is going to come out of a wet market.
01:00:46.000So we've got to try to persuade China to shut them down.
01:01:17.000I don't judge them because they need to eat, right?
01:01:19.000So if I was really hungry and I had to eat a dog, I would eat a dog.
01:01:23.000I mean, these are just things that we would have to do.
01:01:25.000It's easy for me to say, but it's a lot more normal to eat a dog than to do what they do in Manhattan, which is put them in strollers and pretend they're children.
01:01:33.000That's a little freakier to me than a wet market is seeing like two 30-year-olds walking down the block with a fucking chihuahua in a bassinet.
01:02:42.000There were some of them, I remember, I think Eliza was going to be at the store, and a lot of her fans were there, and then she didn't show up, so then I came out.
01:02:50.000So it was like a real culture shock, because they were expecting Eliza, and then I walked out, and you could see a lot of, because the first three rows were all hot white chicks, and then they looked at me like, what the fuck?
01:04:58.000So the Democrats are now reaping what they've sown in the sense that anybody can approach the press with an unsubstantiated allegation about somebody who's high profile.
01:05:08.000I mean, I understand that women aren't just willy-nilly lying about stuff, but the picture changes when there's somebody who's a politically divisive, high-profile figure.
01:05:16.000Where there is a huge incentive to knock that person off, right?
01:05:20.000There's a huge incentive, whether it's Brett Kavanaugh, whether it's Joe Biden, there's a huge incentive to derail that person.
01:05:26.000So I think in that instance, because I do believe that most women are not just making things up.
01:05:32.000That being said, when you introduce politics, there's a whole other level.
01:07:22.000I was looking at this weird Lady Gaga thing today with him and Lady Gaga, where he's talking about how no one should ever put their hand on a woman.
01:07:32.000And I'm watching this because I guess Lady Gaga was sexually assaulted, but who the fuck is ever going to watch that and say, you know what, I was going to put my hand on a woman, but now I'm not going to.
01:11:55.000It was a pro-life march, and they show up to this thing, and it's just an indication, because sometimes I'll be on Twitter and I'll get really frustrated because people are like, this virus is fake, and how do you believe CNN? And I'm like, okay, guys, listen, the thing's not fake.
01:12:08.000But then the reality is they've seen so many instances of the media either embellishing or manufacturing, it's hard to get mad at people that are suspicious.
01:12:22.000When the Jeffrey Epstein story goes away and no one cares anymore that the biggest political scandal of our lifetime goes away, when no one cares about any of that anymore, people get very cynical about all the information that's out there.
01:12:34.000And I go to war conspiracy people all the time because they're like, no, this is...
01:12:38.000But the reality is I can't fault them for believing in this stuff because there's so much out there.
01:12:45.000You know, we're in the no-man's land of logic.
01:12:47.000Well, it's also when people have these preconceived notions that they're clinging to despite the evidence, you know, like whether it's either the Seth Rich murder, like, there's nothing to see here, nothing to see here.
01:12:58.000No, it's not like a guy was working for the DNC and a guy who gave information, according to WikiLeaks, gave information to WikiLeaks and was shot and killed.
01:13:07.000They didn't touch his wallet or his credit cards.
01:13:18.000When you dismiss ones that are like, hmm, well, you know, and anybody, see, it got to the Jeffrey Epstein one where everybody was like, everybody was like, wait, what?
01:15:34.000You know, a friend of mine sent me this, and it's really kind of an interesting theory.
01:15:38.000He said, if you look at whenever there's an incumbent that's running for re-election, the Democrats always throw someone lame against them.
01:16:33.000He's in the CIA. He seems gay, though.
01:16:35.000But he also seems like he's in the CIA. You have to ask yourself, when the biggest companies in the world and the biggest billionaires start lining up behind the mayor of a small Indiana town, something's going on.
01:16:48.000Same thing when it was the governor of Arkansas, Bill Clinton.
01:21:44.000Well, all of that stuff in the CIA, what was going on in Laurel Canyon is crazy.
01:21:49.000There was this guy who wrote a book, Dave McGowan, and he wrote a book called Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon, and it's all about this weird overlap between this burgeoning music scene and a lot of intelligence things, LSD, Timothy Leary, all these things that were happening in the Haight-Ashbury and Laurel Canyon.
01:22:06.000Where they were, you know, running operations, experimenting with these mind control drugs on all these different people and like cozying up to weird cults and it was very strange.
01:22:22.000Once they get deeper and deeper into the CIA mind control ops and what they were actually doing and what they were allowing, they were literally letting people free.
01:22:31.000They were telling people at one of the murder trials to never bring up Charles Manson.
01:22:36.000The prosecuting judge was being told to ignore evidence about Manson.
01:22:45.000The prosecuting attorney, don't bring up Manson.
01:22:46.000They were being told to not bring up Manson.
01:22:49.000Because the CIA was studying human behavior and In order to do that, they had to get in bed with some very, you know, nefarious characters.
01:22:58.000They were trying to get rid of the hippies.
01:23:00.000They were trying to disband the hippies, and they were trying to use people like the Manson family to attack people that were in black rights movements and civil rights movements.
01:23:12.000They're trying to destabilize a lot of the anti-war movements.
01:23:17.000But they were also trying to create a Manchurian candidate, see if they could wipe somebody's mind clean and control them.
01:23:22.000A lot of those mind control experiments went back to Operation Paperclip, where you had scientists that were in Germany doing these really harrowing experiments on people.
01:23:33.000We brought them all to America after this, and they continued a lot of those experiments here.
01:23:37.000Yeah, we've talked about Operation Paperclip.
01:23:49.000I mean, when you go to Operation Northwoods and you find out that the Joint Chiefs of Staff had already signed a document saying that they're down with blowing up a jet airliner and blaming it on Cuba.
01:29:35.000So it never got into my bloodstream, but he said it does not mean you weren't in contact with it.
01:29:40.000Because when I came back, I came back from Vancouver, and I was sick, and then they diagnosed it as strep, but they also said that's a common co-infection.
01:30:14.000I think he's a chemist and he's worked at CERN. Really, really intelligent, interesting guy, but he's making these YouTube videos on COVID-19 and how really, how dangerous it actually is.
01:30:27.000And his estimates are that if we opened up everything, you could get death rates as high as 300,000 a day.
01:32:39.000Otherwise, why would you get a lot of money?
01:32:41.000To have a pedophile island or a hot wife?
01:32:44.000But, like, if you really had billions and billions of dollars and you didn't have a hot wife, like, what are you doing with all that money?
01:37:49.000Well, you kind of have to do it when you're building markets.
01:37:53.000Yeah, well, I'm going to have to do it.
01:37:54.000But I've been thinking about doing a residency in L.A. I've been thinking about literally having shows every weekend in L.A. and then occasionally going on the road.
01:38:51.000But there's people that are in Milwaukee or Cleveland or whatever, they can't afford to come to LA and get a fucking hotel room and all that shit.
01:38:59.000You're going to want to come to them every now and then?
01:39:33.000And it was also the days where I just had a dumb idea that I could just do theaters on Friday night and do it like every weekend and I'd be fine.
01:40:51.000And I listen to my podcast back and then pick out chunks of it that I'm like, oh, that could be funny.
01:40:56.000Well, your podcast, too, one of the things that I like about you, it's almost like you work yourself into a trance where you're just a ranting trance.
01:42:29.000And like the ones I do with Joey are different than the ones I do with Duncan, which are different than the ones I do with Dahlia or with you.
01:42:37.000It's like you have a dance you're doing with everybody and sometimes it's hard to figure out what steps you're taking, you know?
01:44:08.000You know well people know that yeah and most people in their life which is kind of what we've created lives where we can kind of be Yeah authentic like we can cut like most people have to file into certain Whether it's an office or wherever and they have to just tolerate bullshit Yes, and they have to talk to people they don't like and you've created a life where if you're not interested in what somebody has to say you don't have to speak to them and Well,
01:44:30.000it's also, it doesn't mean that you're not going to get things wrong.
01:44:33.000And this is what people have to understand.
01:44:35.000Everyone's going to get things wrong if you talk as much as I do.
01:44:38.000But I think I'm real honest about when I get it wrong.
01:44:42.000So you have to be able to say, like, I shouldn't have said it that way.
01:47:56.000I think I went through when I when I was like in my 20s and I had ACL surgery for the first time that was like 90 Fuck early 90s, but I had never been off stage for like two weeks before right so two weeks later after knee reconstruction I was going on stage with crutches on I was like fuck it I'm going up Wow I was like I'm going up so I'd go on stage and hobble with a knee brace on and Two weeks after surgery.
01:49:00.000Yeah, and I think there's going to be some weird shit where you're going to have one table, and then there'll be three empty tables, and then another table, a line of people.
01:49:46.000But my point is, if we are upset that the amount of people that have died from COVID-19, if this is the last person that dies, and it won't be, surely, but if this is the last person that dies, how close would the flu have to get to that for us to take commensurate measures?
01:50:05.000If the flu, I don't know what the number is, and I don't think they know entirely how many people get infected versus how many people die, because I don't think they really know how many people get infected.
01:50:17.000And if COVID, they were saying that as much as 70% of the people that get it are asymptomatic, So how many people really get it?
01:50:24.000Maybe there's a lot more people that got it, and then they're just not showing symptoms, or is it, we don't have accurate data?
01:50:32.000I think it's probably, we don't have accurate data.
01:53:21.000If there was this ship that was going through space, but space was just like, it was almost like there was air around you where you could kick someone off the side and they would just fall to forever.
01:55:22.000No, you're in international waters and then you dock outside of this fake little town in Mexico where they literally bought the beachfront and it's a third world country and they drive you past roosters and shoeless guys running around.
01:59:10.000He's gonna kill us all because he wanted to fuck this chick and he's gonna lie about having it.
01:59:13.000A new advanced form that it doesn't do anything to people that have already had it, but as soon as it gets into a new person, it kills them.
01:59:20.000It makes so much sense that the virus that'll get rid of us as a planet come from a cruise, the most disgusting, unnecessary...
01:59:28.000Dude, this has nothing to do with the water.
01:59:40.000Dude, there's a TV in your room on a cruise, and when you turn it on, it's just commercials for shit you can buy when you dock at the island.
01:59:47.000It'll be a guy who's like, I've been in the cruise and jewelry industry for 20 years.
02:09:30.000This has been announced by the government, which says that this follows a request from the Canadian High Commissioner in London for Gibraltar's help in repatriating the seven passengers and one crewman.
02:09:47.000Number six says the disembarkation took place in the bay, not alongside the cruise terminal.
02:09:53.000So they went to a smaller boat in the bay, and then were probably brought to the...
02:09:57.000Yeah, it says that there's no cases of COVID-19 on board the Viking Sun, which had submitted a clear maritime declaration, is therefore clear to enter the port.
02:10:09.000There would be a virus that runs through us like fire through bushes, and they would repopulate the earth with these TED Talk people on this fucking cruise line for 245 days.
02:11:04.000I was with the missus on vacation, and I ran into a comic at a port in Mexico, and he had just gotten off this boat, and the dude looked like someone stole some of his essence.
02:11:17.000They looked like someone had taken 10-15% of what makes him a person.
02:14:45.000And he goes to these really remote locations and he just brings a backpack and a small tent with him and water purification and arrows and he fucking goes.
02:15:41.000But either way, so he comes back and he finds that note on his car.
02:15:46.000I mean, a lot of what he does, he does and he documents for social media because one time back in the day, it was like two years ago, he was doing this 28-day hunt by himself in Idaho and in Wyoming.
02:16:04.000Including encounters that he would stream with a fucking grizzly bear.
02:16:08.000So he had a grizzly bear that was chasing after him and he had a faulty pistol on him.
02:16:11.000He didn't even know that the pistol didn't work.
02:16:39.000Yeah, and she's got a cub with her, and she's thinking about fucking him up, and she bluff charges him a couple times, and he tries to get away from her, he tries to walk away, and she followed him.
02:23:57.000There's one, this one lady came up to my wife and wanted to talk to her about conservatism because she thought that I was conservative for some reason.
02:24:06.000And it was like, you know, we're one too.
02:25:08.000It's not elect some idiot who convinced everybody in Texas to vote for him or people in Long Island, New York to vote for him.
02:25:14.000It's finding some of the people you've had on this show, people in that echelon, and putting them in a room and going, how the fuck are we going to figure this out?
02:25:22.000It's not guys that convinced people in Virginia that they had their best interests at heart.
02:25:28.000I mean, it's just an old system and it needs to be modernized.
02:25:33.000That's a really eloquent way of putting it.
02:25:35.000You might have a good point there that hopefully people recognize this is not serving them to have these rigid parties on one side and the other side.
02:26:18.000And you realize that when the shit hits the fan, like if you're wealthy and trapped in a mansion by yourself and you don't have any friends.
02:27:17.000Like if you're working at a grocery store and it's like you're getting shit money and you're being exposed to this, it's like we should do, as a country, we should do something for you.
02:31:05.000And I've got to be honest with you, if Kim Kardashian would make a better president than a lot of people, a lot of people in Congress, that's how crazy it's gotten.
02:33:22.000But what kind of a ridiculous proposition is that?
02:33:26.000To pretend to have a conversation with someone, and then you make up their answers?
02:33:31.000Just like it was the same reason that Gal Gadot and all those people were like, let's sing Imagine, and no one said, guys, this is the worst idea ever.
02:33:39.000I think Republican operatives put them up to that.
02:33:43.000If I was a Republican operative, I'd call Gail Godot and I'm like, why don't you get a bunch of people to sing Imagine.
02:33:53.000There's a lot of celebrities now, like, you can see how out of touch some of them are because they're quarantining in mansions and they're like, just use this time to breathe.
02:34:20.000I'm like, you're going to clearly see stabbings very soon.
02:34:23.000Lex Friedman put out an Instagram post a few days ago explaining how many different viruses are currently in contention right now in a world war.
02:34:35.000That is happening inside of all mammals.
02:34:37.000I love that you're looking for more terrifying news.
02:34:38.000But he was just saying, like, there's wars going on.
02:37:11.000But I think it's like people, like, our job is to kind of, if we can make this funny, if we can show that, you know, it is dark, but I make fun of dark stuff, so that's cool.
02:40:13.000If I do have them, I want it to be like a ceremonial...
02:40:16.000Imagine a strange virus like that, though, that gets into some people and does nothing and other people devastates them and devastates mostly older people, but occasionally young people.
02:40:49.000But you could also say, like, what if you knew that it was coming, so you protected yourself and your loved ones with some medicine that only you knew, and then you release this shit,
02:41:20.000Not only in China, but all around the world.
02:41:22.000Do you imagine if one day we find out that they released an artificially created virus to cause a world pandemic so they can get out of some political shit?
02:42:04.000Trump is going to start calling it the dark land very soon.
02:42:07.000And they decided to release a virus that kills a gigantic chunk of the population, causes everyone to stay home, causes the market to collapse, and then dive in and start buying up giant chunks of the businesses.
02:43:04.000One of my friends was on a flight, and he was sitting next to somebody, a funny guy, a comedian, Dan St. Germain, and he was sitting there, and he was working on a show, and there's a producer behind him, and he's sitting there, and the plane's really rocky, it's getting really bad, and it's stormy,
02:43:19.000and he goes, you know, whatever happens, I had a good life, and the woman behind the producer goes, no, you haven't.
02:44:39.000If you're in an office of 20 people and you see insane people every day, they have to be your friends.
02:44:45.000Well, that's what all those elite fraternities like Skull and Bones and shit, the challenge of them is you take 20 people you think are going to be leaders and they don't know each other at all, and you force them to have this lifelong bond.
02:44:56.000You do it by like making them do embarrassing shit in front of each other.
02:44:59.000That's the whole thing of like why those institutions exist, like Harvard and Yale, all those places that are just take very successful people that have potential to be future leaders and be influential people and like mold them together and force them to create very close bonds.
02:45:13.000That's what all those secret societies and fraternities, that's what all that stuff's about.
02:45:17.000That's what elite power circles have done forever.
02:45:20.000That's the whole point of any of those things is to just create bonds between people that have no idea that each other existed before they wake up next to each other in coffins or whatever.
02:45:29.000Well, the thing that people are always talking about when it comes to conspiracy theories about depopulation of the planet.
02:45:37.000It's always like the elites are going to depopulate the planet, and they're going to kill 50% of the population, and then they're going to take over and control things.
02:45:56.000Because they don't have the robots yet.
02:45:57.000They still need us to pick berries and shit.
02:45:59.000When they have the robots, all bets are off.
02:46:01.000Once AI advances to that level, once you see the self-driving cars and all that stuff, once you walk into a bank and a robot's like, hello, Mr. Rogan, then you're like, oh yeah, we're going soon.
02:46:12.000They're gonna start stuffing bats and chickens.
02:46:17.000I think if this symbolizes the new normal and then this is like where we're gonna realize that these things are around us and there are hundreds and millions of them and they're constantly morphing and evolving.
02:49:13.000Well, listen, it's a mobile streaming app that they launched during a pandemic when most people are watching TV on their couch going, yeah, I'm not commuting anymore.
02:49:22.000It's a good time for some things, though.
02:49:37.000And I don't have the facts to back that up, and I don't have the stock certs, but I'm telling you right now, if I were them, I'd start preparing alternate strategies.
02:50:02.000But when I watched the Quibi launch thing, they spent a lot of that thing talking about how the movie looks different if you hold it like this and you hold it like that.
02:50:16.000Because the picture switches when you go like this and like that.
02:53:44.000It makes me think about health differently and the necessity of really trying to take care of myself better because you want to be able to fight these things off.
02:53:54.000Think about it like the three little pigs.
02:55:47.000Cell phones are a way to track people in China, so the government loves people having them.
02:55:51.000So the idea that 21 million disappeared might suggest that the death toll is higher.
02:55:56.000Or the other option was they were saying what it also could be would be that a lot of people had two lines and then when the pandemic hit, they'd lost the ability to hold two lines and didn't have the money for it anymore so they cancelled one of the lines.
02:56:09.000It also feels like there's a group of people that are trying to push the war with China narrative.
02:58:03.000Right, and you know, Michael Shermer and I were having a conversation about being able to talk to people that you don't agree with and how important that is.
02:58:12.000He wrote a book about giving the devil his due, like being able to talk to people that you disagree with.
02:58:16.000Well, this all relates to this thing that's going on here.
02:58:38.000That's why we started this country in the first place.
02:58:40.000We're going to slide towards safety so hard.
02:58:44.000That's why you've got to deal with people's opinions online that you don't like, because they have the right to express them.
02:58:49.000That's why I've always been like, people say things all the time, and I'm like, I think that's abhorrent.
02:58:53.000But they should have the right to post it on, you know, my aunt should have the right to use her Facebook page.
02:58:58.000Even though I think she should be in jail.
02:59:00.000The problem is also that people don't want people being influenced by people that are full of shit, like preachers or televangelists or hucksters.
02:59:10.000But I'm not getting influenced by them, and you're not either.
02:59:14.000So it doesn't work on people that are paying attention.
02:59:17.000So we're going to protect people that don't pay attention.
02:59:30.000Those hucksters and preachers will just get better so you can box them out.
02:59:33.000They'll just evolve and their messages will get, you know, they'll figure out what the people that are gonna get duped, they're gonna get duped.
