In this episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Joe talks about the latest events in the world, including the recent vote in favor of a ceasefire in the conflict between Israel and Palestine, and the protests in the streets of New York and San Francisco. He also talks about his trip to the Mexican border, and why he doesn t care about the fact that people are wearing masks in public. Joe also discusses the recent events in Ukraine, and how we should all be paying attention to what's going on in the Middle East, especially in regards to the ongoing conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians. And, of course, there's a little bit of politics at the end of the episode, as he talks about what he thinks about the current state of the world and what we should be focusing on in order to make sense of it all.

00:04:46.000Given what we know about the true nature of conflicts and how so many things are manipulated behind the scenes to force people into actual physical conflict.
00:04:58.000And then there's generals that sit in air conditioned offices and they move their pieces around the board like chess pieces.
00:06:27.000Okay, he succeeded his father, Philip II, to the throne in 336 BC at the age of 20 and spent most of his ruling years conducting a lengthy military campaign through Western Asia and Egypt.
00:06:39.000By the age of 30, he had created one of the largest empires in history.
00:09:22.000I think it's akin to LSD. And so they're very, at the very least, we're taking that in this one spot.
00:09:29.000And what they believe is that all of these transcendent experiences they had, the Illusinian mysteries, they get together and figure out how to solve the world and let people vote and all that wacky, that's all, I'm tripping balls.
00:10:28.000To do that, like the kind of precision that's involved in the Parthenon, when you're walking around it and you see how all the stone is cut and how it lines up and how massive the columns are and how beautifully symmetric it is...
00:14:18.000So I have early childhood trauma, and then I've had some traumatic things happen to me later in life, and then the panic attacks started after I got shot when I was in my early 20s.
00:14:27.000I didn't know what they were back then.
00:14:30.000I just didn't know what they were, so I'd just be having these panic attacks on the train, just going like, what is happening to me?
00:14:36.000So I've been dealing with it for like 20 years, and it would go away for periods.
00:14:39.000I'd have great periods, and then it would come back, and And after I had kids, I think I called you.
00:14:46.000I spoke to you once and you were very helpful.
00:14:48.000But after I had kids, it sort of triggered a lot of these feelings that would come up out of nowhere and sadness.
00:14:57.000I'd be looking at my kids and I'd get sad.
00:15:25.000I was like, ah, I'm just, and I gave her like a paragraph.
00:15:30.000And she was like, it sounds like you didn't feel safe as a kid.
00:15:33.000She was like, let me get you in touch with this person who I'm friends with who does EDMR. And then I got in touch with this therapist, and she's incredible.
00:15:41.000And I started the EDMR journey, and it's been...
00:16:54.000So you kind of, you know, talk a lot, talk a lot, talk a lot, and then the therapist gets the idea of what you need to go back and reprocess.
00:17:02.000And new things will come up when you go back, and then you'll reprocess it.
00:17:36.000Now, in mental health, you're starting to see that revolution because of, you know, the advances in neuroscience where they can look at the brain and they can actually see, you know, what parts are responsible for what, where trauma shows up in the brain.
00:18:00.000They light up in the part of your brain as if it's happening now, which makes sense.
00:18:04.000We knew that because, you know, when Vietnam vets start bugging out and they're in the supermarket or whatever, but they can actually see it now in the brain that the brain is processing it as it's happening now.
00:18:15.000So, you know, converging neuroscience and psychology and all the things that they've known from all these different advances and It seems to be in a place now where trauma is becoming one of the things that they focus on the most,
00:18:32.000like early childhood trauma or traumatic events.
00:18:35.000In war, obviously, we know that that's the specific cause of what Is bothering those people, you know, is what they've experienced.
00:18:45.000And so now they're targeting the trauma, but they have ways to treat the trauma with EDMR, with brain spotting, it's called.
00:18:53.000You know, a whole bunch of these tactics.
00:19:44.000But you're basically just an end product of experiences.
00:19:50.000And your interpretation of those experiences, and the lessons, and the way you've contextualized all those experiences, and they're all in your head, and that's your map of the world.
00:20:57.000Yeah, I don't think a lot of people know themselves because you got to do all this work to know yourself because your brain protects you in so many ways that...
00:21:06.000They know in neuroscience, your brain usually, when it's healthy, works in concert and sends information to different parts of your brain to process it.
00:21:14.000But when you have trauma or a chemical problem or whatever it is, it doesn't work well.
00:21:21.000And in traumatic experiences, your neocortex shuts off and your limbic turns on.
00:21:29.000And there's a survival reason for that, right?
00:21:45.000So people who have like panic and anxiety, it's hard to reason your way out of it because that part of your brain is shut down.
00:21:52.000Now imagine you have panic and anxiety already and you're already experiencing depression and then they prescribe to you medication and one of the side effects of that medication is suicide suicidal ideation yeah yeah that's imagine being that person and forced with that choice like this may help you or you might just Yeah.
00:23:27.000The negative experiences that you've had, both as an adult and as a child...
00:23:35.000Those also made you who you are if you're happy with the result.
00:23:38.000Like, if you're happy with how you're living, you're happy with what you're doing, those things were important to go through, unfortunately.
00:23:45.000Well, it's nothing you could do about them.
00:24:32.000You're treating your own life like it's permanent, and it's so temporary.
00:24:37.000I've noticed a lot of successful friends I have and a lot of successful people are so scared to just be happy because I think there's like this deep fear of losing it.
00:25:56.000It means when you have a good sense of humor and when you're laughing in the right way, not just cackling by yourself in a room, but it just means you're mentally healthy.
00:26:04.000It's a sign of mental health and strength when you can laugh...
00:26:41.000Like, as comedians, you know, I spend time with a lot of different people and a lot of, you know, different occupations, and I always can't wait to get back to comedians.
00:26:52.000I always can't wait to get back to the green room with the mothership.
00:27:23.000And the amount of love that you get back and forth, like the amount of love a comic gets, the amount of love they give, the positive energy both for and back, that's like very few people get to experience that in life.
00:27:57.000Monkey around with different ways to say it and switch and they're like hmmm and then everybody will sit around and analyze it and we'll like analyze each other's bits and like you know you don't have to say that part everybody already knows that if you cut that out it's shorter you're right why did I say that part and then you know everybody just starts tinkering with stuff and you can just like openly tinker yeah with like phrases and ideas and setups yeah it's like a it's so much fun it's like architects sitting with their Contractors
00:29:48.000But my point was always like, how the fuck do you know what's going to happen to a building until a plane slams into it and you get to watch?
00:31:39.000It's a little weird just stopping there because you can't know what the actual conspiracy was, but there's a lot of stuff that doesn't make sense on 9-11.
00:31:51.000Well, whenever you run into a situation where there's a gigantic worldwide disastrous event, like that's an event that the whole world knew about, but you lie about some aspects of it.
00:32:05.000Like, one of the things was, what did the United States get caught lying about Saudi Arabia, about their involvement early on with funding?
00:32:25.000What if I had some fucking dudes from Afghanistan staying in my house, and right after some shit went down, I illegally flew them out of the country?
00:32:37.000That sounds like what a criminal would do.
00:32:39.000Look, if I was running cocaine with the Colombians, and right before the FBI came, I fucking shot some planes illegally filled with coke back to Colombia, I'm like, listen, none of the time.
00:34:35.000I think there's a lot of really dumb ones, and there's a lot of ones that are like a little smarter than dumb, and then there's a lot of ones that are really smart, and there's a lot of ones that are like, oh my god, if this is true, this changes everything, and they all lump them in together.
00:35:00.000When you just look at one or two of those, it's so confounding that that's actually taking place right now.
00:35:08.000That you need a little flat earth throat in there, a little fucking Pizzagate, a little Hillary Clinton's laptop, they're eating babies, you know?
00:35:48.000But they're playing on the – even if the government wasn't encouraging people to go insane, they would still go insane.
00:35:54.000They would still have conspiracy theories.
00:35:55.000But without a doubt, foreign governments are on TikTok and on Instagram and on Facebook, and they are influencing people to go in a very specific direction.
00:36:20.000So if you've got two ships, and they're both going in the same direction, parallel lines, And I can turn this one ship just like that, just a little bit.
00:36:29.000I just need like a couple of degrees of turn.
00:36:30.000Over time, that motherfucker's gonna be way off course.
00:37:08.000Yeah, they got taken down again, yeah.
00:37:10.000There's one video where this comic that works with Lewis was saying that all they were doing in this podcast is talking about how big a guy's dick was.
00:38:39.000You get some guy, you say he's a billionaire, you just give him like a fucking blank checkbook, which when you're spending a hundred and seventy billion on Ukraine and a hundred and thirty six billion here and forty six billion there, we gotta upgrade that and just let these people in and that cost thirty trillion,
00:40:49.000We're publicly having it so that they can trot it out there.
00:40:54.000Anytime there's an election, anytime there's this, or there's a vote they want you to vote in one way or another way, they always have that.
00:42:12.000His job is to trick politicians into fucking underage girls and get them coked up and bring them into this place that's cameras everywhere.
00:42:20.000These fucking idiots don't know that there's going to be cameras everywhere.
00:42:50.000And then, but the more important factor is everyone has those moments in their life where things are offered to them, you know?
00:42:56.000And you know, you go this way, You're going to get some exciting stuff, but you're going to have to compromise your moral compass, and people make that decision.
00:43:06.000Fame and power, it's like the ultimate elixir.
00:43:11.000It's also the people that you're around.
00:43:13.000Because we were talking about, we love being around comics.
00:44:35.000Yeah, why would they want to get rid of cows?
00:44:36.000Because they want you to be completely dependent on them.
00:44:41.000The more you're dependent on them, and the more they can tell you what's good and what's bad, and what you shouldn't be doing.
00:44:47.000And, Giannis, we looked at your carbon footprint.
00:44:50.000Your carbon footprint is very problematic.
00:44:52.000It seems like in your job of stand-up comedy, you travel more than the average person, and you contribute more CO2. And they show you a video of all, and we're going to have to get you to stop.
00:45:50.000And we all already know that the line is nonsense.
00:45:53.000We know that the line is not really intelligent people that are assessing objectively what's going on in the world and giving you a reasonable version of the events.
00:46:04.000We know that's not really what we're seeing in the media.
00:46:08.000We're seeing people that are deeply influenced by advertising budgets, by what kind of companies advertise on their shows, by the investors who own stock in the company.
00:46:22.000It's there's narratives and they're not necessarily even remotely honest, right?
00:46:28.000Like sometimes they're off the charts fake Right.
00:47:09.000I was watching this documentary last night, and the media did that to this couple, because the movie Gone Girl was out at the time, so they just started calling her Gone Girl, and she made up this Whole story of being kidnapped.
00:49:10.000But what was fascinating to me about it was just this open admittance that it's all bullshit.
00:49:17.000Just saying, like, not decrying this thing and saying it's a genuine problem with communication, that we have deception, and it's tolerated, and that it's not punished, and, like, willful deception like this.
00:49:30.000And there's a thing called a wrap-up smear, and this is a horrible thing that they do.
00:50:03.000The news person's about to start talking.
00:50:04.000That's why I was trying to cut it off unless you want to hear her.
00:50:06.000The assault allegations against Brett Kavanaugh.
00:50:08.000This is where I was trying to not get too confused on what Okay, so they were connecting it to the assault allegations against Brett Kavanaugh that tried to keep him out of the Supreme Court, right?
00:50:16.000Is that what the Fox News story was trying to do?
00:50:48.000Imagine if you were in that same position and you had been given information.
00:50:51.000For whatever reason, the current administration thinks Giannis Papas, let's have a very smart, funny guy, and he's going to be the guy that kind of explains what's going on.
00:51:00.000And you have to explain what a wrap-up smear is.
00:51:04.000Would you not feel like morally obligated to say something about how atrocious activity like this is when it comes to critical decisions that people are making?
00:51:16.000People that are probably not that informed, people that are going through their day busy, they have jobs, they have bills, they have stress, they have all kinds of stuff going on.
00:51:25.000They don't have enough time to pay attention.
00:51:29.000To what's going on with that Supreme Court guy.
00:51:30.000So if you're like openly discussing strategies where you would deceive people in order to get a narrative passed that's clearly untrue because you don't want that guy in office politically.
00:53:57.000And they don't want to do anything about the Epstein client list, and they don't want to do anything about whatever the fuck Hunter Biden was doing with Russia and Ukraine and China.
00:56:23.000Trump is the wrong guy with the right strategies, wrong guy with the right message, wrong guy socially, politically, lightning rod for the wrong kind of people, the right guy in terms of it seems like those policies were more effective.
00:56:39.000There's just so many things that are fucking weird right now.
00:58:35.000And then when it becomes your problem, and that's why Texas is doing it, they're going, okay, now you're going to deal with what we're dealing with, so you're going to feel what it's like, and now you guys got to pay for it, and you have to figure out what to do.
00:59:10.000Hillary Clinton, I voted for Joe Biden, but this is the honest assessment.
00:59:14.000The guy did, for the things that he was supposed to do, a good job.
00:59:17.000And for where every other president found a way to, frankly, make our situation a little bit worse, specifically around wars, he did not do that.
00:59:27.000And that is a huge accomplishment that I think needs to be acknowledged.
00:59:33.000Democrat who has been left homeless, who is now definitely in the center, but probably leaning increasingly right.
00:59:40.000I'm left yet again with an appreciation, despite the messenger of the message of the Trump administration, because what those guys did was pretty incredible in hindsight.
00:59:52.000These Abraham Accords, the Accords with Israel and the GCC, the almost accord between Israel and Saudi, To really be able to find a long-lasting peace is just a real example for the world,
01:00:10.000and those guys did a lot of really good work.
01:00:13.000It's a miracle, actually, when you look at it.
01:00:16.000What they did, despite the fact, listen, I'm no fan of Trump, and I am too homeless.
01:00:28.000And in fact, this is a moment where you have to start to re-underwrite, like, is one's Trump derangement syndrome causing more damage than anything that Trump could have actually done?
01:00:38.000And I think the answer is yes, because it's now causing us to not see That could work and then embrace and extend it.
01:00:47.000So much of the work that happened in that administration turns out to have been right.
01:00:54.000And that's what's so frustrating for me.
01:01:41.000It's like what percentage of people are pro and what percentage of people are against and how many of the people that are actually going to vote, the real hardcore, you know, red till I'm dead, how many of those people are pro-life?
01:04:22.000I think we did it to ourselves partially, but I also think for sure, just like I said, it has an effect on narratives about which way people believe, what they agree with and don't agree with.
01:04:35.000Whatever they can show you on that algorithm that shapes things in a certain direction.
01:04:40.000Well, I think they saw what our culture's about, what our weakness was, and they used it against us.
01:04:46.000You know, fame, what we worship, Tom Cruise, fame.
01:04:49.000And then once they democratized fame, they were like, oh, let's use this.
01:04:53.000Let's promote, let's make stupid people famous.
01:06:31.000That's probably what tips the scales, whoever's willing to do that the most.
01:06:34.000Well, Quentin Tarantino was telling us about this old director that literally had a bedroom built into his office where he had bed the starlets.
01:06:41.000So he had his office, they'd go into his office, and there was a bed in a room.
01:06:46.000And he would take them in there and bang them, all of them.
01:07:33.000It's a perfect proving ground for like the absolute worst way to develop a human being.
01:07:39.000You take people that are already fucked up and they need extra attention and then they move to a place where they're surrounded by people who are fucked up and need extra attention and then you make them compete to see who's worthy.
01:07:53.000And you go in there and pretend to be someone else and they decide whether or not they like your someone else or his someone else.
01:07:59.000And you have to figure out what they like and try to be their friend.
01:08:02.000Maybe bring them chocolates and maybe talk to them about the latest Roe v.
01:08:07.000I, for one, have always been with a woman's right to choose.
01:08:09.000And then, like, formulate their ideology based on whatever this group of people achieves ultimate power.
01:08:18.000And, you know, like, if you step out of line politically with any of those people, you're on that shit list and you're not going to be in that movie.
01:08:35.000You do everything you're supposed to do or you're not getting in.
01:08:39.000And so everybody is just like this weird shell of a person trying to figure out what's the thing they're supposed to say and what's the thing they're supposed to support.
01:14:13.000If you don't think a realistic 20-something-year-old girl who's with her dad, where they're in a guest bedroom of their own fucking house because these other people Airbnb-ed, but the end of the world is here, you don't think you'd have some fucking shitty things to say, especially if no one's around?
01:14:27.000Especially if the woman, who's Julia Roberts, is acting like shitty.
01:14:38.000I just posted this clip on my Instagram where I made fun of, you know, because Trump came up in the releases and Clinton came up in the releases.
01:17:03.000It might have come from a troll farm in Macedonia.
01:17:05.000No, that one seems, because it has no political implications, that seems like it was probably made by somebody with a really funny sense of humor.
01:17:12.000One of the things that they detailed is that they developed pages, right?
01:17:17.000So they would develop an Instagram page or a Facebook page based on something that was popular.
01:17:21.000So maybe they would use Giannis Pappas clips, right?
01:17:24.000Use a bunch of clips of you and your characters and all your bits.
01:17:27.000And then they do it without your consent.
01:17:44.000I went to one that I found the other day, because sometimes if a meme just stumbles across my Instagram, I'm very curious about this whole process.
01:17:54.000So I clicked on the link, and I went to their Instagram page, and I saw a bunch of memes, but also a bunch of weird stuff, and some weird political stuff.
01:18:30.000A story in the Wall Street Journal from a few years ago talks about a Los Angeles marketing company that got a bunch of smaller Instagram accounts to give them control.
01:19:23.000And then they just took over her account.
01:19:25.000And they've been doing it to a bunch of different artists.
01:19:27.000So if you have 100,000 followers or 150,000 followers, now they just take over your account and then they sell Viagra or fucking Bitcoin or whatever it is.
01:19:59.000I think Rene DiResta was speaking about this from the 2016 elections.
01:20:04.000Well, remember that whole, the kid, the Covington kids, it was some account in Brazil that edited the video to start it so it looked like the...
01:20:56.000There's not the same kind of emphasis in going after Russian trolls that are trying to sow discord and try to encourage reasonable conversations.
01:21:07.000Well, I think that's more the social media company's responsibility.
01:21:10.000I don't think they wanted to do it because it inflated engagement and they could go to their shareholders and say, look how popular our pages are.
01:21:17.000We got a trillion members and like half of them are fake and look at all this engagement.
01:22:18.000They just word it or make the meme or the picture look so good or so right, and it just sounds outrageous enough, like so-and-so is fighting about something crazy, and they just repost it without checking into it.
01:22:41.000Listen, that's what happens when you, if you want to do the show for real, like this, like if you want the show to be what it is, which is just talking shit in real time, you're gonna make some mistakes.
01:22:51.000I'm gonna say some things that I heard about.
01:23:37.000Whatever is going to emerge, it will be like some sort of superhuman who can be able to have unbelievable...
01:23:45.000Intuition and just know maybe like this will force humans to evolve to a point where we can like mind read or any little face tick We'll be able to tell if you're lying or something like right everyone else will get fooled But the ones who be were able to tell the truth will be able to just like really like ah his eye move I know he's lying bullshit.
01:24:01.000Yeah, like think about like voice memos You know how you say voice memos like you could say into your phone call Giannis Papas today at four o'clock And it writes it down in text.
01:24:12.000That's kind of how a computer is at picking up whether you're full of shit.
01:25:55.000And the only way you could do that Is if you're being truthful.
01:25:59.000Now, if you're plagiarizing, and you're also trying to connect with people, and you're trying to pretend that you're the person that figured these things out, I don't know you.
01:26:09.000I don't know your capabilities now, because they've been greatly inflated by you repeating someone else's work and trying to pawn it off as your own.
01:27:06.000And he talks about introducing Marxism and Leninism into universities and education and changing the narrative for young people, destroying their faith in democracy.
01:30:49.000They translate in real time, in language, audio rather, and in text.
01:30:55.000So you have a phone, you set the phone down, like we would have a phone, we'd set it down here, and one half would be facing you, the other half would be facing me, like the text is upside down, so you could read the text.
01:31:05.000And I would say into it, you know, in whatever language, you know, hey Giannis, you want to go to lunch?
01:31:11.000And it would translate into whatever language you have, and then say it out in real time.
01:31:16.000So the way it's, when it sets up, Let's see if we can do it like where you see.
01:31:21.000So you can do it a couple different ways.
01:31:23.000One, you can do it when you're calling people.
01:31:25.000It's on a call, the one on the screen.
01:32:08.000You know, this is like some shitty pixelated version of a video game that you play.
01:32:13.000Within 10, 15 years, it's going to be the Unreal 5 engine.
01:32:17.000It's going to be some insanely sophisticated way where the moment you and I talk, we're going to have earbuds in and we're going to be able to speak all languages.
01:32:27.000I'll know exactly what you're saying, you'll know exactly what I'm saying, and it'll be razor-focused.
01:33:20.000How could you live the way you live now in a metal box with rubber tires going 70 miles an hour down a hardened surface they threw over the grass so you can get to your air-conditioned house where you've got a refrigerator with food in it and sit in front of a television that just pumps in other people's artwork into your fucking brain so you Pass out.
01:33:40.000And then you wake up in the morning and do it all again.
01:34:08.000It's going to be a totally different way of thinking, just like right now with the internet and with the access to information that we have now.
01:34:14.000It's a completely different way of finding out what's true or what's not true.
01:34:17.000Yeah, even if you think about the way the world's changed just by how criminals can't get away with doing crime.
01:36:21.000You're going to decide if you want to wear these goggles or here's the LG one.
01:36:24.000So what I was saying though about that Galaxy phone is AI that allows you to translate like that now allows you to do a bunch of other different things.
01:36:32.000One of the things it allows you to do, like if there's a photo, like if someone sends you something, you just circle it and you'll do an immediate Google search of what that thing is.
01:37:26.000With ChatGBT, you could go on there now and go, give me a joke in the style of Joe Rogan, and it'll give you a joke, and then people could probably just change a few things.
01:37:36.000I don't know what being genuine is going to mean in the future.
01:37:40.000Well, I think it's going to lead us to be more inclined to give in to this mind-reading thing because the opposite is going to be too much chaos.
01:38:09.000Instantaneously, you can't pull off anything anymore.
01:38:12.000All the people in Congress that are committing insider trading, all the people that are in the military-industrial complex that are inflating dangers to try to get us involved in a military conflict that's going to get them a giant fat contract, They're gonna make large dollars.
01:38:28.000And then if you try to persecute somebody for a thought that they had, then they'll find out that if you had the same thought, they're like, you're full of shit, man!
01:38:58.000Yeah, I think it'll be a new language.
01:39:01.000I think it'll eventually evolve into a universal language.
01:39:05.000So if we're going to be interconnected with AI, which with this new Galaxy phone, the S24 Ultra, you clearly are interconnected with AI in your phone.
01:39:29.000And I see it getting better to a point where we're probably going to be integrated.
01:39:38.000Physically with these things whether it's something that you wear like a little headset that you wear or something that they put in your body and It's going to be way better with it than it is without it in the beginning most people aren't going to do it But once they get it dialed in and they've developed some sort of whether it's Neuralink and there's a bunch of different competitors are doing similar sorts of technology Once they figure out a way to really enhance your brain And really enhance your ability to gather information and process information and
01:40:10.000Everybody that has that will have such a significant advantage over everybody that doesn't that we have a real risk of people not doing it.
01:40:24.000What if the people that do it just are the worst people alive, and they just use that as to, we're going to lock everything down, starve the world out, central bank digital currency, fucking drones everywhere, no one gets away with anything, no one gets a chip but me.
01:45:54.000And then reprocess the memories, which essentially, after you reprocess the memories, you end up remembering them that way, and the emotional charge gets removed, and that's how it goes.
01:49:19.000Because I thought everybody was like that when I was young, that everyone just had these ideas just running through their head all day long.
01:49:33.000But I mean, that's the kind of guy you need if you want someone who makes electric cars and rockets and fucking satellite internet and buys Twitter.
01:49:40.000And that's why you need a system like we have that allows those people to rise.
01:50:28.000Well, he's essentially done what, like, Walmart does to small businesses, but he did it for a good reason to try to promote free speech.
01:50:35.000Because Walmart just goes in, loses money for a bit until they charge you cheaper, lose money for a bit until they put you out of business, and then they recoup their losses.
01:50:45.000What I would say is this is probably, from what I've read, I haven't actually discussed this with him, But what I've read is that this is one step in a multi-step process of turning Twitter, now X, into an app you use for everything.
01:51:47.000The AI model called Grok, a name that means to understand in tech circles, is designed to answer questions with a bit of wit and has a rebellious streak.
01:51:54.000So please don't use it if you hate humor.
01:51:56.000Reads an announcement on the company's website.
01:52:56.000Well, he bought for Twitter for 44. So even if Twitter's only worth 19 now, if this grok takes off, there is a potential to be a competitor to something like this and to be just as big.
01:53:08.000If people really start using AI for everything, and it seems like they're going to start using it, and they can incorporate it into devices and a bunch of different things and different ways to use it, So you have that.
01:55:12.000But for the most part, with a lot of these social media companies and these companies that are producing these things, they have a very clear mindset as to what is acceptable and not acceptable.
01:55:24.000Yeah, Spotify kind of stuck by you during all these controversies.
01:55:28.000I want you to imagine if Tucker Carlson had a YouTube show and he brought on the guy that blew Obama.
01:57:19.000Maybe that's good, though, because then you can see them and you know what they're doing as opposed to having them hide and then you don't know what they're up to.
01:57:27.000Well, that was my argument about the feds infiltrating these terrorist organizations.
01:57:32.000Like especially even things like, well, they couldn't even say if the feds were involved in January 6th.
01:58:03.000But when it gets to the plot to kidnap Governor Whitmer and you find out that there's 14 people involved and 12 of them are FBI informants, 12?
01:58:16.000And these two fucking dopes get railroaded for the rest of their fucking life for some cosplay scheme in their head, their stupid 84 IQ head of going and kidnapping the governor and you find out it's all set up by federal informants?
02:00:38.000The FBI deployed at least 12 informants as well as several undercover agents according to defense filings on the nighttime surveillance operation of the government's cottage.
02:00:49.000For example, the defense described Big Dan as the main organizer.
02:00:53.000Steven Robeson with a long history of both past crimes and work as an informant was there too.
02:00:57.000The explosives expert who could topple a bridge was actually an undercover FBI agent as was the man in another vehicle.
02:01:05.000The defense lawyers using the same trove of evidence material have built an entirely different scenario of what happened.
02:01:11.000They depict an accused as a reluctant puppets Entrapped by the FBI agents and informants whom they say came up with a kidnapping plot.
02:01:20.000Oh, so it's a he said, she said about whether the informants were just going along, getting the information, or actually pushing them to do it.
02:01:29.000Well, they also had actual FBI agents that were pretending they were bomb experts who were going to blow up a fucking bridge.
02:03:49.000But where it can get very dangerous is if you do an AI... Video of Putin saying, we're launching nukes, and then you think it's real, and then we launch the nukes, and...
02:05:02.000They don't want to be part of Putin's world.
02:05:06.000They don't want to be part of Russia's influence, and Putin doesn't like that.
02:05:11.000And, you know, all those other former Soviet republics, too, that are now...
02:05:19.000You know, part of NATO or aligned with NATO. They're aligned with NATO as a precautionary measure to against Soviet expansion or former Soviet expansion or the threat of it.
02:05:29.000Doesn't it suck that you even have to think about this?
02:05:35.000But when you go and you talk to people in Finland and places that the Soviet Union did invade and didn't conquer and did force into their republic, you know, the USSR... They have a different view of it.
02:05:47.000I mean, you know, it's like it depends on who you talk to, right?
02:05:50.000So it's like, to your point, it's very complicated over there.
02:05:53.000It's like Israel and Palestine, it is complicated.
02:05:55.000You have to go all the way back to the beginning because the Jews made that land important to them for religious reasons because they used to be there.
02:06:02.000So it's like you have to go all the way back to that in order to understand the conflict now.
02:06:07.000Isn't it wild, though, that from October 7th to January 18th, just a few months, it goes from Horror and outrage at this terrorist attack on a rave, on a music festival,
02:06:22.000entering these people's homes and shooting them and killing them and torture them, sending them cell phone videos of you killing and torturing people to their families.
02:06:30.000It goes from that to death to the Jews.
02:11:26.000They'd kill everybody in Game of Thrones.
02:11:27.000The boundary between Egypt and Israel stretches 206 kilometers, 128 miles along the eastern edge of the Sinai Peninsula from the de facto trip point...
02:11:38.000With Palestine, Gaza to the Gulf of, how do you say that?
02:12:14.000Dude, the left was so against the wall, and now I think a lot of the left is going like, yeah, just build that wall, just don't tell anybody I told you.
02:12:22.000Well, especially the people that are living in New York, where Governor Abbott is bussing Ecuadorians in by the fucking truckload.
02:15:09.000He was all in favor for the sanctuary in the beginning.
02:15:12.000The rich history of the Pakistan-owned Roosevelt Hotel in New York.
02:15:17.000Pakistan International Airlines has leased one of its most valuable assets, Roosevelt Hotel, in New York, the city's administration, for a period of three years in order to raise money for its struggling economy.
02:15:30.000So they're for Pakistan's struggling economy?
02:15:33.000So they're leasing out the Roosevelt to the city so that they can have money?
02:18:07.000Camera alleged containing memory card loaded with dozens of videos capturing individuals in various states of undress in bedrooms and bathrooms.
02:20:56.000The thing is, is if you're barely getting by, if you're kind of like scratching and scraping and you've got to like pick and choose, like, is this advancing my career?
02:21:12.000Just like you were talking about when people start making money and becoming famous, they're terrified it's all going to go away.
02:21:18.000There's also when you're barely getting by you realize or you're getting by but just like you're above water but you know you realize one catastrophic thing And you're under.
02:24:47.000But it's hard to just make that first step.
02:24:50.000And that's one tiny little step in this gigantic journey of self-improvement.
02:24:56.000And if you don't take those steps at all, if you're that fucking dude that just gets at home and just medicated, watching Netflix, Uber Eats, wake up, do it all over again, you're gonna feel like shit.
02:25:07.000Well, I think it's hard for people to take the first step, I think, because a big part of depression is feeling like it's going to last forever.
02:25:14.000It's kind of the delusion that that feeling pitches you.
02:25:17.000It's a weird mindset where everything is poisoned.
02:25:23.000Every thought you have is poisoned with this negativity, and you start to actually think back at your life and think that it was all that way when it wasn't.
02:25:47.000It's like when your immune system is overactive.
02:25:51.000It's like your fight or flight is overactive.
02:25:53.000So you have to remember that and just getting help.
02:25:57.000People sometimes just don't get help because of shame or Whatever, but it always ends.
02:26:03.000The bad always ends if you put the work in and remember that it doesn't last forever and that your thoughts are not, it's a delusion you're in right now.
02:26:21.000It's a reflection of the way you feel, and the way you feel is fucked up right now, and that's changeable.
02:26:27.000But it's hard to realize that when you're in it, and that's why people struggle with it, and they make unfortunate decisions, and some people take their lives and stuff like that.
02:26:36.000Because they mistake it for something that's unchangeable, that's ever-present, because that's the way it feels.
02:26:43.000But feelings are not facts, ask Ben Shapiro.
02:27:39.000Ranter about like current issues like with With no audience sunglasses on out of his fucking mind making great points and also being hilarious He is the best and he's original.
02:30:10.000And, you know, I've known a lot of people in advertising, mostly advertisers, they look at creative people, get the ideas, and then make a commercial about it.
02:30:18.000And a lot of it's borrowed from, you know...
