John Bolton - My Rogan⧸Poilievre Video Was Blocked - But They Can't Block My Speech

00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John, and welcome to the channel, 632 AM.

00:00:07.320 It is Friday, March the 20th.

00:00:09.020 I hope you're having a wonderful day today.

00:00:11.820 I've got the big blue mug of coffee, and I wish I was having a wonderful start to my

00:00:17.580 day.

00:00:18.200 I really do.

00:00:19.980 Boy.

00:00:22.540 You know, yesterday I talked about Joe Rogan and Pierre Polyev.

00:00:26.300 I was going to watch their video.

00:00:28.040 I was looking forward to it.

00:00:29.240 I was looking forward to the interview and I watched it. I watched half of it last night and

00:00:33.640 I was awake at 1.30 this morning and I watched the rest of it. And it's a significant length.

00:00:39.280 It's two and a half hours long. So I got two and a half hours into this thing and I kept notes and

00:00:43.900 they talked about a lot of different things. I'm going to discuss a few of the things they talked

00:00:47.420 about in just a moment. And I got clips and out of a two and a half hour interview, I pulled 11

00:00:54.920 clips that amounted to about 12 and a half minutes of content. So I took the clips and I recorded

00:01:03.820 information leading into and out of each of those clips. And it took me a significant amount of

00:01:08.660 time. Started to record it at 3.27 this morning. So about three hours ago now. Put the whole thing

00:01:16.160 together. Very proud of it. Really happy with what I got out of it. And I uploaded it to YouTube and

00:01:22.800 it's got to run through a process and it checks everything in the video to make sure everything's

00:01:27.100 cool. And it got hit with 11 copyright strikes on all of the clips I put in. Christ. I've had

00:01:36.300 this happen before when it comes to music. You know, it might be copyrighted or it might be

00:01:40.960 royalty. It's not royalty free music. So I've had to eliminate the music. But when you get

00:01:45.320 all of the clips in a video hit, that's pretty bad. So what can I do? Well, I was proud of this

00:01:52.220 video. I spent a lot of time doing it. I thought it was really good. I thought you would enjoy it.

00:01:57.500 So I put in an appeal on it. But here's the deal. When you put in an appeal, the company was called

00:02:02.140 Super Bam. And from what I understand, they represent Joe Rogan, a lot of comedians and

00:02:06.880 people, and they hit everybody with copyright strikes. I don't know how people put up Rogan

00:02:11.080 clips, but mine got hit with a lot of them. And I figured I'd put in an appeal on it, and I did.

00:02:18.340 and then I found, when I was reading through, it could take seven days. And if they don't agree

00:02:24.120 with my appeal, my channel would get hit with a strike, a copyright strike. And you get three

00:02:29.880 copyright strikes and your channel is eliminated forever. You can't do anything about it. So I

00:02:35.420 thought about it after a while. I thought, well, what if they wait seven days? Who wants to watch

00:02:39.200 a video that's seven days old? Nobody will want to watch it. What's the point? So I canceled.

00:02:44.640 so you can't see the video so I've got no clips unfortunately I feel really bad about that I

00:02:50.020 liked the video it was interesting and what they were talking about was very interesting

00:02:56.140 I think there was at times they talked way too much about MMA and UFC

00:03:00.980 Paulieff seemed to know a lot about it now I don't know whether he studied up on it to

00:03:07.020 sound intelligent with Rogan or that he really knew a lot about it I think it's the latter

00:03:11.620 because he had a lot of information at his fingertips about MMA and UFC,

00:03:16.240 but they talked about it too much.

00:03:17.480 About half an hour of the final hour of the interview, they talked about that.

00:03:22.060 But what I really enjoyed about the interview was Paulyev's philosophy on government.

00:03:29.120 There's a saying I've used here before.

00:03:30.980 It comes from Ronald Reagan.

00:03:32.540 The government that is best governs least.

00:03:35.580 And near the end of the interview, Paulyev said the following words,

00:03:38.940 which I kept and I wrote down verbatim, if you cannot trust a man to govern himself,

00:03:44.980 how can you trust him to govern for others? And I wasn't sure whether that was a quote from

00:03:50.460 somebody, but I looked it up and you can trace it back to Thomas Jefferson, his inaugural address,

00:03:56.240 he said words to that effect. So basically what Polly have talked a lot about in this was personal

00:04:01.640 liberties, personal responsibility, and handing the power to the people as opposed to power to

00:04:07.760 the government. And I really believe in that. The liberals want to control everything. And

00:04:13.900 Paulyev wants to give that control back to you. After all, who's better at controlling your life?

00:04:18.700 You or Mark Carney and the liberals? Answer it honestly, liberal viewers. What are the things

00:04:24.800 that they talked about? They talked about Maid. Rogan, absolutely disgusted. Paulyev agreed with

00:04:29.560 him. They talked a lot about exercise and health. A lot about that. They talked about COVID.

00:04:36.480 Rogan said the mandates that we had here in Canada and really around the world were ridiculous.

00:04:41.620 Polyev agreed with him.

00:04:43.060 Polyev talked a lot about the Magna Carta and your rights, really.

00:04:47.400 He was asked, Polyev was asked, the first thing he would do as prime minister,

00:04:51.140 he said, I would unblock resources.

00:04:53.480 And of course, the question about the 51st state thing came up. 0.90

00:04:57.660 Polyev said it was ridiculous. 1.00

00:04:59.100 He hoped that Trump would knock that shit off or something, or words to that effect. 1.00

00:05:03.560 He talked about faster permitting and pre-permitting. Now, it sounds like a rather dry 1.00

00:05:09.240 subject, but if you do watch the whole video and you're able to see some of the clips,

00:05:14.180 it is rather interesting to hear what he has to say about that. Now, Rogan is concerned about

00:05:19.120 the environment and he brought up the oil sands and that he saw a documentary, I think, on the

00:05:24.680 oil sands and how they're destroying all of the environment up near Fort McMurray, which they

00:05:30.220 talked about. Polyev defended the oil sands, explained oil extraction, says it's the best

00:05:35.700 industry in the world. It helps indigenous people. It gives people powerful paychecks.

00:05:40.360 And he invited Rogan to Canada to come up and actually see it. It'll be interesting to see if

00:05:44.120 that happens. They talked about housing, of course, high prices in the United States,

00:05:48.280 but worst in Canada, and that how young adults can't afford homes these days. And Polyev said

00:05:55.140 inflation is the biggest fraud on working class people in the last 100 years. He spoke at length,

00:06:01.400 Polly, about the problems in the United States and with great detail, bringing up a thing called

00:06:06.860 the pay-go law, which was in the Clinton years, which I remember when he brought it up, I remember

00:06:12.340 this. And basically, if you have a new dollar of spending in government, you have to find one dollar

00:06:17.880 of savings. And back in the Clinton years, with the help of the Republicans, because in the second

00:06:23.780 term of Clinton. The Republicans, I think, held the House of Representatives and the Senate.

00:06:29.020 They basically didn't run any deficits at that time, but things have changed a lot.

00:06:33.680 And Polyev talked about looking for savings and making it law. And it was at this point

00:06:38.560 that I put in my notes and I bold typed it, so damn smart. Because I think Polyev is a very

00:06:46.700 smart man, despite what liberals will say about him. They call him a traitor and then he shouldn't

00:06:53.080 in the United States right now, but he's very smart. I think he's got a photographic memory,

00:06:57.200 and he is very well read. If I could give a piece of advice to young people, read a lot of books.

00:07:02.800 Okay. Of course, Paglia brought up, he wants to make Canada the freest economy in the world.

00:07:08.420 Says he will win the next election. We'll have to see if that happens, but says he has to do better.

00:07:13.920 And he made a good point here. He said, during the election campaign, the liberals said he had

00:07:21.580 no policies, and then they changed to saying his policies were scary, and then they stole his

00:07:27.260 policies, which we all know actually happened. He said something interesting as well, which Rogan

00:07:32.260 approved of. Polyev said he would not criticize Carney on foreign soil.

00:07:38.600 He said Canadians sort their shit out peacefully. He said we must toughen our justice system. 0.98

00:07:45.340 He was asked about the Apple interview, which Polyev talked about on Trigonometry a few weeks

00:07:50.320 ago saying it was something that came out of the blue for him. He never, ever thought that that

00:07:54.280 would happen. They talked about Canadian maple syrup. They talked about a lot of stuff here,

00:07:58.780 and they talked a lot about what makes people unhealthy and how to get people healthy,

00:08:03.420 processed foods that are not good for you, get a lot more exercise, things like that.

00:08:07.960 Rogan made an interesting comment. He said, a dumb idea that cows are responsible for climate 0.86

00:08:12.440 change. While they were discussing the high price of beef. They also talked about the opioid problem 0.97

00:08:18.420 here, Rogan saying somebody should go to jail. And Paulyev making the point that Canada lost

00:08:24.960 more people from opioids than we did in the second world war. That really brings that into

00:08:29.580 perspective. And they talked about treatment for people who have drug addiction as well.

00:08:35.180 Rogan said that he was a fitness instructor and he actually worked with Bobby Orr back in the 80s.

00:08:41.720 Paulyev asked a lot of questions about MMA. Too many, I think. I think they went a little bit

00:08:46.360 awry, but they did bring up Bruce Lee on a number of occasions. And Polyev invited Rogan up to the

00:08:51.840 Calgary Stampede. And as you know, Rogan has said he doesn't want to come to Canada because of the

00:08:55.560 crap that happened during the COVID years. But Polyev says he's going to keep working on Rogan

00:09:01.360 and bring him up to Canada. And then they talked about legalizing marijuana in Canada. Rogan said

00:09:07.360 it should be legal in the U.S. Let people make their own choices. And there was a lot of discussion

00:09:12.320 about that, which I really enjoyed in the interview. Two and a half hours of a very

00:09:18.300 interesting discussion. I love this format. I really do. And I think Joe Rogan is very good

00:09:23.640 at it. They did talk about Alberta independence, by the way. It only came up shortly. A little

00:09:29.720 short little segment. Polly have said it will never happen. But what I find interesting is I

00:09:34.140 saw Danielle Smith post a video, a segment of the video of the interview with Rogan and Polly

00:09:42.180 talking about Alberta. And Rogan brought up the independence thing, but I think Danielle Smith

00:09:49.740 cut it out of her video that she posted yesterday. Obviously, she didn't want people hearing about 1.00

00:09:55.720 that. The other thing that I did immediately, or within about 15 minutes of watching this

00:10:02.920 interview, is I put this at the top of my notes in bold type. And I put, what a shame he isn't

00:10:09.380 prime minister. I think he would make a very good prime minister. He still might be the best

00:10:14.040 prime minister Canada never has. He says he's going to win the next election. He's going to

00:10:18.220 have to hang around to do it. He does have that stick-to-itiveness, which I've talked about as

00:10:22.560 well. But the other thing I'd like you to know is this. And I think a lot of people in my shoes here

00:10:29.580 in Alberta who talk a lot about Alberta independence, we realize that things might be

00:10:36.280 marginally better with the conservative government, but not enough to give Alberta what it really wants

00:10:42.740 and needs, and the people of Alberta what they really want and need here. Conservatives have to

00:10:48.300 bow down to the votes that they need in Ontario and Quebec. That makes Alberta an afterthought.

00:10:55.520 So even though Paul Yev might make a good prime minister, I don't want him to be my prime minister.

00:11:01.340 I really want Alberta to become independent.

00:11:04.140 Now, I'd like to apologize to you for not having any clips here.

00:11:07.140 I really wish I could.

00:11:08.420 It was a 25-minute interview.

00:11:10.180 It was a lot of work.

00:11:11.700 And I feel sad that I couldn't do that.

00:11:14.360 But I will put a link in the description so you can watch the interview.

00:11:18.820 I think it's well worth it.

00:11:20.240 It's entertaining for sure.

00:11:22.440 And I enjoyed watching it.

00:11:23.920 I really did.

00:11:24.780 I think Joe Rogan is masterful at what he does.

00:11:27.320 It's why he's the biggest podcaster in the world.

00:11:29.340 I just question why Polyev is doing this at this time.

00:11:32.940 I don't think it really serves any purpose,

00:11:34.920 although Rogan thought it would change things.

00:11:37.660 Not going to change much at all.

00:11:39.060 Thanks for watching.

00:11:39.900 If you like the video, give it a thumbs up.

00:11:43.380 Ring the bell for notifications.

00:11:44.660 I will see you in the next one.
