Joe Rogan is back on the pod! Joe and I talk about his new haircut, his new comedy show, and what it's like to be in the Navy SEALs. We also talk about how we got into martial arts and how we train for it.
00:02:30.000The only thing, because we do every single thing that we did back when we were working out, but other than some days we look at that cold punch and we're like, Joe, you're a fucking psycho.
00:04:12.000One night, I'm working the back door of the comedy store, and this is when Theo Vaughn had just...
00:04:16.000He went from a guy we all knew to he's now Theo Vaughn.
00:04:20.000And I'm sitting back there, and he pulled in, and we're just kind of hanging at the back door, and he goes, Derek, let me tell you something, man.
00:04:27.000He goes, I was getting $2,000 a weekend before this hair.
00:04:31.000Since this mullet I get about 40k a weekend and walked off You know what though, it's true, but it's not true So it's true that when the haircut came he got more money on the weekend,
00:04:49.000but It's also like the haircut freed him to be Theo Vaughn Like do you remember when the I remember very clearly the first time I ever saw Theo And he was doing a bit about being on, not even a bit, he was telling a story, a true story,
00:05:04.000about when he was young, his father was really old.
00:05:09.000Like his father had him when he was like 70. Yes.
00:06:48.000But I do get that feeling of, like, being free on stage and truly...
00:06:52.000Yeah. Because that does separate yourself, too, of like, oh, this is how I...
00:06:55.000Damn. Yeah, you gotta learn how to do that some way, right?
00:06:58.000And some people it's alcohol, and some people it's the way they dress, and some people it's weed, and some people it's, you know, they have to run, they have to jog before they do a set.
00:07:08.000Yeah. I remember seeing Eleanor, she would do dips.
00:07:11.000You'll catch her in the back of the hole, and she's just cranking out dips, and then she goes up, but then you see when she's up, it's like, oh, that energy had to just, it was just coming out of her.
00:07:19.000Yeah, it's coming out of you, and also you want to get your heart rate up a little bit, so your body is like, and your I heard Bill Burr say something,
00:07:38.000but he's just one of the greatest to ever do it.
00:07:40.000But it always made me go, damn, because I always felt that way.
00:07:42.000Like, no, I wouldn't eat before a meal.
00:07:49.000And I'd fucking have a Thanksgiving dinner before a show and go up and talk the whole set about how I had a Thanksgiving dinner and how fucking fat I am and how gross we all are in America.
00:07:56.000And it was just, like, that freedom of, like, wow, he really doesn't give a fuck, this guy.
00:08:01.000Well, Bill is also amazing at being Bill.
00:08:06.000Like, he has his opinions, what he thinks is stupid about something, and he's just, like, locked in.
00:08:18.000Like, some comics, like, you'll see one of their hours, and it's kind of like one kind of energy, and then the other hour, it's like kind of a different kind of energy.
00:16:43.000People forget, he was like the first guy to really capitalize on the pandemic with his videos, where he essentially created a completely new kind of stand-up, right?
00:16:56.000So, it's stand-up without the pauses that you would require if an audience was laughing.
00:17:52.000Because, like, that was an example of someone innovating in, like, a crisis.
00:17:57.000Like, there's a situation that happened.
00:17:59.000You're forced to, everyone, you know, some, like, during the pandemic, some people just curled up in a shell and decided, I'm not leaving my house anymore.
00:18:07.000Yeah. And then some people are like, okay, what can we do?
00:18:42.000And he also, you know, because his stuff is local and a lot of it, like these opening bits that he comes up with, you kind of have to get him out now.

00:20:35.000When you have a muscle to do something and you do that thing all the time, then you just get better and better and better at doing that thing, and then you get in the groove.
00:20:43.000Like we were talking about, like Attell, like Theo, like when someone gets in the groove of who they are, you know, like Tony is on Kill Tony.
00:21:21.000Being excited for every day and nervous and anxious and that feeling, I mean, to not have it, I can't believe people go, I get having you got to go to work, you got to make money, but the idea of like, man, never that feeling of anxiety and looking forward to something and it not going the way you planned.
00:21:37.000And so you got to go the next day and figure out what went wrong.
00:22:13.000Sometimes you think you came up with it, but somebody else did, and you heard it, and you forgot.
00:22:18.000That can definitely, especially if it's a subject that you never cover, and time has passed, and then the subject comes up, like something comes up, and you're like...
00:22:27.000It almost like David tells the best at that.
00:22:29.000He'll call you up because you have to check sometimes like hey have you heard this?
00:22:34.000You know like you have like he's the best at that.
00:23:12.000And then, you know, there's parallel thinking.
00:23:14.000There's a lot, but you know when someone's a thief and Damon's not a thief.
00:23:17.000I always said that Damon, he might be one of the most underappreciated comics ever, because when he was in his prime, you've got to realize he was like, if you're looking at today, he was like Chappelle.
00:23:29.000He was in that same level of recognition as being one of the best guys a lot.
00:23:35.000But then they got him with those TV shows, man.
00:24:37.000So before Michael Jackson did, the year they brought Michael Jackson was because the year before that, In Living Color aired during the Super Bowl.
00:24:46.000They lost like a, not half, a big number where that they were like, we can't let people leave during the halftime show because this show is too big.
00:26:33.000I think in the 1980s, like if you go back, you had Kennison, you had Eddie Murphy, you had Richard Pryor, you had George Carlin, you had a bunch of really good guys, Jerry Seinfeld, but that many after that.
00:29:10.000It's like getting away from a poison that you didn't know was a poison, like some, like, forever plastics in your Starbucks cup or something, you know?
00:29:17.000Yeah. I quit those Starbucks cups and all of a sudden I, you know what I mean?
00:33:07.000But the reason why is because they don't feel good about comparing themselves to this person who may be doing better than them.
00:33:15.000So there's a feeling like, ah, he's alright, he's alright.
00:33:19.000There's a little bit of that, you know, which I don't like that.
00:33:22.000It doesn't make sense to me either, because watching this game, for the ten years I've been doing it, it's like, oh, like...
00:33:30.000Everyone tells me that Sebastian was like, nobody knew that he was going to be one of the biggest arena acts we've ever seen when he first started, when he was coming around.
00:33:38.000Yeah, he'd be like, oh, he was good, but you didn't see that for him.
00:33:41.000So it's like, oh, there is no point to judge somebody harshly because this game is long.
00:35:53.000If you're looking to make the playoffs even more exciting, DraftKings Sportsbook has you covered as an official sports betting partner of the NBA.
00:36:02.000From the play-in games all the way through to the finals, now's your time to back your favorite players and teams as they chase glory all season long.
00:36:11.000DraftKings has been the go-to spot for NBA player props.
00:37:48.000I got a little disenchanted with Taekwondo and one of the ways that it happened is I started kickboxing and I started getting beat up because my hands were dogshit.
00:37:56.000So like I was really good kicking, but if I got into boxing exchanges I was terrible.
00:38:06.000If I hit you, you're in trouble, but it was not good.
00:38:09.000And so I realized that oh, there's a giant flaw in this like for actual real fights is a giant flaw in this and as soon as I started kickboxing Particularly this friend of mine who was a really good boxer, Dana Rosenblatt.
00:38:20.000He was one of my training partners, and he became New England middleweight champion.
00:38:32.000He knocked out Howard Davis Jr., who was an Olympic gold medalist.
00:38:37.000He's a bad motherfucker and he also when I was training with him made me realize that I didn't really want to do this anymore that I was just doing this because I had done it my whole life And this was like what I decided I was doing that was like not only is there no future in this there's a lot of brain damage coming my way like 100% I'm getting it right now and You know just sparring with Dana me and him sparring.
00:39:00.000I don't know how many times we spar but we would beat the fuck out of each other dude damn really oh Oh, it was horrible.
00:41:05.000And I beat the first guy so I got into the second round and the second guy was this I think he was from Illinois I don't remember but he was like super aggressive and I hit him With the hardest wheel kick I've ever thrown in my life.
00:42:31.000And so then they get him an ambulance.
00:42:33.000And so they put this kid on a stretcher, and they have him sitting out there for 30 minutes, and he's just on the stretcher for 30 minutes.
00:42:40.000And then they bring him in the ambulance, and they take him to the hospital.
00:43:41.000Yeah, I think it was Vietnam where he trained troops.
00:43:43.000I forget where he trained troops, but he was like an elite Taekwondo instructor and he was his mind was like His name is Master Jae-hun Kim, and he's the guy who runs the Jae-hun Kim Taekwondo Institute.
00:43:56.000That's his business, and that's the place where I came.
00:43:59.000He was like one of the few guys that was trained under General Choi Young-yi, who was the founder of Taekwondo.
00:44:06.000So there's a handful of black belts that were trained by this one guy.
00:44:52.000So I had this very fortunate place that I just stumbled into.
00:44:58.000Yeah, I happen to be like one of the best Taekwondo gyms in the country, especially for generating power Because they like really emphasize heavy back work like he really emphasized heavy back work It's like you have to generate power if you hit somebody and it doesn't hurt.
00:45:11.000That's ridiculous You got you know, you gotta be able to hit someone to just pull it them out Would you get into a lot of street fights before this or even before before Taekwondo?
00:45:25.000Really? Yeah, I couldn't fight at all.
00:46:20.000So I started teaching when I was like 15. I was teaching people when I was 15. And then when I was 19, I was teaching at Boston University.
00:46:28.000I used to teach a class, accredited class.
00:46:30.000It was a pass, fail, A. And I would tell everybody, it would count towards your GPA.
00:46:34.000So I'd say, if you come here, you get an A. That's all you have to do.
00:52:57.000It sounds so stupid, also because it's me and I'm stupid.
00:53:00.000But if a scholar, if someone who you really trusted, the pinnacle of science today, said, if we could just get the whole world on mushrooms, all the wars would stop.
00:53:33.000That's, like, one of the beautiful things about camaraderie and community.
00:53:37.000If you cannot, then you all sort of, like, lock in.
00:53:40.000You realize, like, we're all experiencing this thing together.
00:53:43.000We're all like one thing that's separated by biology, but our soul, our spirit, whatever it is that is us inside of our meat bag is a soul, and it's connected to all the other souls in some strange way.
00:54:00.000And if you can figure out, it's almost like you're listening to some, it's almost like there's jackhammers going off around you, but you hear a really good song in the distance.
00:54:10.000Like, God, I can almost hear that song.
00:54:13.000Yeah. Like, you ever be in a restaurant and everybody's talking, but there's just some jam is playing on the radio, and you're like, God, I almost hear that song.
00:54:21.000Yeah, just some Marvin Gaye seeping through.
00:54:24.000I think there's different strategies that people use to try to get there, and I think God is one of them.
00:54:30.000Like, even the concept of God, I think what you're trying to do is to get to that place where you recognize, like, through strategies of, like, Tactics of following commandments and having a mindset and and giving all your faith to Jesus and all your faith to you like just by act of doing that what you're doing is you're trying to get Closer and closer to whatever the fuck that that beautiful beautiful song is it's playing amongst all the noise because you know it's there It's
00:56:59.000Yeah. I'm like, that's a dumbass accent.
00:57:05.000But then you started talking to everybody with a million different accents on the pod, so I'm sure you've heard all the different versions.
00:57:11.000You get neutral after a while, I think.
00:59:31.000But, like, I'm sure Damon Wayans had a good time making all those TV shows, but wouldn't it have been amazing to see him being this guy that's, like, selling out arenas all over the world?
01:00:27.000When you see guys like Schultz selling out arenas and Burt selling out arenas and Tony selling out arenas, it's like, don't you want to get in on that?
01:07:02.000I was ready to fight because I was about to fight Schultz and them.
01:07:05.000I walked in, and there's trannies, there's all kinds of people in there.
01:07:09.000Right when I walk in, a big dude, dressed like a woman, but a dude, I mean, ripped, just fucking reached for my balls and dick as we're walking in.
01:20:05.000Oh, I don't know who was on stage that night, but we ruined their set because they came on stage like, oh yeah, you just, I'm in the middle of a joke and you just hear 30 people in the green room go, and I thought, Whitney too!
01:22:00.000for him was perfect the way it went down was perfect you couldn't you never script that better in a movie no to see him flattened out out cold and then put arrows in his Bro,
01:22:25.000Alex Pereira is the scariest kickboxer that's ever competed in the sport.
01:22:28.000He's like the one guy above all that I would say if he hits you once you're dead.
01:24:37.000I remember when he came to the mothership and they were like, the security was like, it was terrifying because he was like, I want to meet Joe now.
01:24:42.000And security were like, I don't know what to do.
01:24:45.000Yo, me and DC were in the hallway upstairs in the mothership, and he's teaching us how he checks the calf kick.
01:24:52.000How he throws the calf kick different than everybody else, and he's having Polino, his coach, is translating.
01:24:58.000So it was me and DC, and we're both standing there, and you know that little area where the elevator is, where the VIP is?
01:25:03.000So we're standing there, and this little crowded area is like five of us, and Poetan's kicking my legs, and he's kicking DC's legs, and he's explaining how he lifts his leg up this way, and this is how he checks it, and you're like, oh, shit.
01:25:15.000And both DC and I, would we tell people about this?
01:25:18.000Like, I don't even know if I want to give this up.
01:25:31.000But he was, like, one of the first guys to figure that out.
01:25:34.000That he does like this hacky sack move.
01:25:36.000So when you go to kick his legs, instead of just checking it, where he turns it into the kick, he lifts his leg up and his leg just kind of goes like this and the kick just goes wee!
01:25:54.000But he also has a different style like he's not heavy on the front leg because he like some guys are heavy on the front leg because they want to take him down quick So they want to be able to like move and take him down and those are the guys are gonna have a harder time getting away from that kick Because you got so much weight on that leg.
01:27:32.000When he came back at 36, I remember news articles about it, and I remember feeling sad because I knew George Foreman when I was a child.
01:27:42.000Like, George Foreman on TV when he knocked out Joe Frazier, when Ali beat him in Africa.
01:27:48.000That was a famous story because Hunter S. Thompson went there.
01:27:51.000And he was supposed to watch it and write a story for Rolling Stone about it, but he was so sad that Ali was going to get fucked up that he decided not to go to the fight.
01:28:01.000So he stayed in his hotel and just floated around the pool, and he fucked up the whole assignment.
01:28:05.000And in the documentary, they say it was kind of like a pivotal moment in the downturn of his life, where he kind of fucked his life up.
01:28:12.000Really? Yeah, because he failed in his assignment.
01:28:15.000And back then, you couldn't watch the tape.
01:28:35.000And his life kind of takes a dark turn after that.
01:28:38.000God, it's crazy how much, because you hear that, and it's that speech that Ali gave, which is also one of the most inspiring things ever when he's like, I know you got him picked.
01:30:35.000I just think that run, when Cus D'Amato was training him to the title, Cus was already dead when he won the title, to like a few fights afterwards.
01:30:45.000Losing Cus, he lost his way a little bit.
01:30:47.000But that run, when he was the man, when he knocked out Marvis Frazier, I think that's the greatest heavyweight of all time.
01:31:08.000Unreal. That's why I always put BJ Penn in the list of all-time greats.
01:31:11.000Because during that run, when BJ Penn beat up Diego Sanchez, and when BJ Penn fucked up Sean Shirk, and Joe Daddy Stevenson, when he did that, I'm like, that BJ Penn might be the baddest motherfucker alive.
01:31:23.000He might be the baddest motherfucker alive.
01:31:25.000I would have put that B.J. Penn, I would have loved to see that B.J. Penn versus Khabib.
01:32:12.000B.J. Penn, especially when he was training with the Marinovichs, and he had an unstoppable gas tank.
01:32:16.000Yeah. Because he went and trained with Marv Marinovich, who was like this psychopath football trainer, who had these radical plyometric training methods, and all you did was strength and conditioning.
01:32:30.000We're just going to get you in the most enchained state possible.
01:32:34.000And when they did that, BJ Penn was unstoppable.
01:32:37.000That BJ Penn, if somebody could have corralled him and got him to stay with that guy and then train all his skills outside of camp and then only train that way when he had his world title fights and never fuck off, who knows, man?
01:35:24.000Young. But he was like, one time my buddies were hanging out with him and he fell asleep and his mashed potatoes just fell asleep in his food.
01:35:32.000They were eating and he just just grayed out on pills right into his food.
01:35:36.000And they had to pick him up out of the food.
01:36:02.000Now when you see like those documentaries of like how people who just like broke a leg or something and then they get them addicted to pills and next thing you know they lost their family, their job, everything.
01:36:09.000I have many people that I know that that happened to.
01:36:12.000Many people that I know that got injured, got on pills and just lost their lives.
01:36:16.000Jiu-jitsu guys, friends, a lot of people.
01:36:19.000Especially, again, back before the information was available.
01:38:33.000There's a few movies that can lock you into a character like that where you're like, I don't even agree with this person and I'm so invested.
01:38:39.000And at the end of the movie, you're like, what the fuck?
01:41:57.000Well, I think his drive is different than most of them, and his drive is accomplishments and innovation.
01:42:04.000Like, he's obsessed with getting people to Mars.
01:42:07.000He's obsessed with the engineering involved in what they've accomplished already with SpaceX.
01:42:12.000The ability to take a booster, shoot it off into space, and then the booster comes down and lands and gets caught with robot arms is so off the charts beyond anything anyone else has accomplished in the world.
01:42:26.000of rocketry and space science and all the engineering involved, it's off the charts.
01:42:33.000It's not appreciated enough because he's so polarizing politically because of his affiliation with Trump and because of all the propaganda that has been spun his way.
01:42:44.000There's some definite natural reactions that people have to him that are organic and real.
01:42:52.000But also, there's a gigantic propaganda machine that's trying to paint him as a literal Nazi.
01:42:58.000And they're doing it because they have a vested interest in keeping all these NGOs and all their funding in place exactly the same way it's always been, and having a genius go into all of your fucking booking.
01:43:12.000Bookkeeping and accounting is not good if you've been unchecked for decades and you have a fucking, just an unstoppable budget and a lot of waste and a lot of incompetence and probably a bunch of fraud and theft,
01:43:28.000Yeah, I mean, they've acknowledged that, you know?
01:43:31.000One of the things they said, which is hilarious, they said he found, I think it was Social Security or Medicaid, a bunch of fraud, and then they were saying, well, actually, the government had already identified this two years ago.
01:43:41.000Okay, but why didn't you have this press conference?
01:44:40.000But then there's also legitimate arguments on the other side.
01:44:43.000Like the other side is making a very legitimate argument about the right to due process if you get processed and shipped out of the country and put in a prison in El Salvador.
01:44:55.000Was it Benjamin Franklin's quote about innocent and that it's better to allow 10 guilty people to go free than one innocent person arrested?
01:45:09.000Yeah. I mean, I think due process exists for a reason, and the reason is it is horrific for someone to be accused of something they didn't do, be imprisoned for crimes they didn't commit, and then live in a cell, live in a cage with a bunch of people who did commit shit.
01:45:59.000You also have to deal with the fact that the...
01:46:02.000Current administration is dealing with the past administration allowing known gang members and terrorists to go right through the border unchecked that a lot of them they know got through.
01:46:14.000They don't know the exact numbers, but they know there's millions and millions of people illegally just walked through unchecked and...
01:46:23.000A bunch of them have to have criminal records.
01:46:27.000And we've seen crimes that have been committed.
01:46:29.000It doesn't help anybody on the progressive side to deny the fact that that's a real problem.
01:46:34.000And if it happens to your family, God forbid, I don't want it to happen to anybody's, but if it does, you will feel a sting of regret if you supported that, unlike anything you've ever experienced in your life.
01:46:44.000You'll be like, I mean, it's one of those things where...
01:46:51.000To support one side of this, you have to deny some like basic human values.
01:46:59.000Either way, like to support just rounding people up and just assuming they're all gang members.
01:47:05.000I'm not saying they're doing that, but this is the worst case scenario, right?
01:47:08.000They get a bunch of people in a room, they rope them all in, and one guy's just someone's cousin picking someone up to give them a ride home.
01:47:14.000And now you're back on the one innocent person, and now you're right back.
01:47:17.000And what if that dude is not doing anything wrong, and he's got some stupid tattoos, and they decide that this guy's a gang member, and now you're in a prison in El Salvador, and you're not even from El Salvador, and now, you know, you were just a hairdresser, or you were just a tattoo artist, or whatever you are.
01:47:31.000You came over here, and maybe you got a green card, and maybe you don't.
01:47:35.000Maybe you were just given asylum, because a lot of people from Venezuela were given asylum in America.
01:47:41.000And then you get shipped to El Salvador, where you're not even from El Salvador.
01:47:45.000So the fact that that exists scares the shit out of me.
01:48:20.000You're not sending in the troops to stop this?
01:48:22.000Yeah, and you think that wouldn't, in your head, you're like, that can't happen in America, in Colorado.
01:48:26.000Bro, they got a guy that had done that in California, and they refused to deport him because they said that California is a sanctuary state.
01:48:34.000They're, like, fighting to keep a known gang member free in America.
01:48:42.000It's almost like you don't want to go full tinfoil hat Sam Tripoli style and just decide that they're trying to destroy America.
01:48:50.000But if I was going to try to destroy America, that's how I would do it.
01:48:54.000I'd take over the political process, impart censorship on all the social media, gaslight people to no end, consistently do it, astroturf stadiums filled with people pretending they support something, pay them to be there, manufacture a movement.
01:49:10.000And slowly but surely bring chaos to all the cities.
01:49:14.000Allow DAs to get elected that are the worst when it comes to protecting people and the best when it comes to freeing violent criminals.
01:50:04.000Wade was actually a good move if you were a Democrat because then people get upset and then they really want to vote like you could probably Ignite a lot of people and that was like There's some famous videos is one famous video of this lady celebrating that Kamala Harris is gonna win And she was like,
01:52:25.000Hilarious. So there was that going on.
01:52:27.000If you wanted to, like, destroy society and make it worse, what would you do?
01:52:31.000You'd bring people in from a third-world country, don't have them change anything, financially incentivize them to be there, give them free money while you're not helping the poor people in America.
01:52:39.000They were giving them debit cards, free housing, free food, putting them up in the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City.
01:53:50.000Careful that we don't become monsters while we're fighting monsters But then again, you got to find these motherfuckers that are here that have terrorist cells and that are ready to fucking blow up malls in Dallas and do crazy shit, which Definitely they've thwarted before.
01:54:06.000Yeah, so like this is the best argument for Intelligence agencies is that there's real threats, you know like for someone to say fuck all the CIA fuck the FBI.
01:55:55.000And again, if you wanted to turn us into China, and what I mean by that is a country that's...
01:56:01.000Facial recognition everywhere, social credit score system that's attached to all of your banking, your ability to travel, everything you do.
01:56:10.000If you make anything online that's against the government, you could be disappeared, you could be locked up, you could be made a political prisoner.
01:56:22.000It felt like we were heading that way.
01:56:23.000Yeah, I think this is something that, I think it was Metzger that said this.
01:56:26.000No. It was Duncan that said this about Ukraine and Russia.
01:56:31.000He's like do you realize like the Ukrainians that we're killing or that rather the Russians that we're killing by sending over arms and money to fund the Ukrainians not saying that we shouldn't do this but he's saying that a lot of those guys are being forced to go to the front line and a lot of those guys are prisoners who get released in order to fight.
01:56:54.000So what if you're a prisoner because you wrote a bad tweet against Putin and they lock you up and then all of a sudden Ukrainians are killing you with American weapons because you tweeted bad against Putin.
01:57:08.000So it's Putin's way of like eliminating any dissent from like...
01:57:15.000They don't even arrest that many people online for doing things online in comparison to the UK.
01:57:20.000The UK is getting in on it full steam ahead.
01:57:24.000The UK is arresting people for anything that makes people uncomfortable online.
01:57:27.000They show up at your house and just fucking arrest you.
01:57:30.000How many people have been arrested in the UK for social media posts in the last year?
01:57:41.000This is just post on social media like get you know We need to send these illegal immigrants back saying shit like that.
01:57:47.000Yeah, you get arrested Arrested hate crime even if I'm joking even if I'm maybe I'm just fucking having there's no jokes.
01:57:53.000No jokes online anymore Not in the UK not only that but the guy was the head of the UK They're saying now that they could potentially arrest Americans who have posted things online when they visit the UK Yeah,
01:58:10.000Like, this law could potentially be used in this way.
01:58:14.000That if you are a person in America and you're posting horrible shit about the UK government or the immigrant problem or whatever they have, context upon available information, exact figures 2025, not fully comprehend, 2023.
01:58:28.000In 2023, 12,183 arrests were made across 37 police forces in the UK under Section 127 of the Communications Act.
01:58:38.0002003, in Section 1 of the Malicious Communications Act in 1988, equating to about 33 arrests per day.
01:58:45.000Laws cover sending grossly offensive, indecent, obscene, or menacing messages via electronic communication networks, which includes social media posts and also DMs.
01:58:57.000DMs. So people have been arrested for...
01:59:00.000Horrible DMs that nobody gets to see other than the friend that you're sending it to, supposedly.
01:59:15.000It's still horrifying because what you're doing is scaring people into compliance.
01:59:21.000They don't want to be arrested again, and they certainly don't want to risk being prosecuted, but they're forcing people to censor themselves.
01:59:29.000I read it so that they're breaking the law.
01:59:31.000I don't know which law they're breaking.
02:00:28.000I mean, maybe they're not torturing people and sending them to the front line of Ukraine, but they are putting the fear of being arrested in people if you say something that they don't want you to say on social media.
02:01:38.000But it's not, you know, Russia's not communist, really, anymore.
02:01:44.000It's a military dictatorship, essentially.
02:01:46.000I mean, Putin was the president, and he could only do a certain amount of time, and then he stopped being the president, and he's like, fuck it, I'm the president again.
02:01:52.000And then no one's going to win going against him.
02:01:55.000We have elections, but what are you doing?
02:01:57.000The guys wind up getting poisoned and shot, and they're like, it's old school.
02:02:46.000Clearly there's a reason why these people in these third world countries want to come to Europe and why they want to come to America because it's better here and it's better there and they want a better life.
02:03:15.000I think instead of fucking up this one country by letting everybody come in and drag it down to a third world country, I think a better solution is figure out a way to prop up.
02:03:28.000The same way, I mean, in a simplistic version of it, like, if you want everything for yourself, you're selfish, but you want everything for all your boys, too, and everybody.
02:03:50.000Maybe if you are an American citizen and you want to hire someone to do something, you have to hire someone under the same structure of ethics that we agree to in the United States.
02:05:21.000And all in these areas, mysteriously, all in these same areas that had been redlined during the Jim Crow era, where black people couldn't buy houses where the white neighborhoods are.
02:05:37.000But you think that's just that hard to let go of that feeling of, I have to be better than someone.
02:05:42.000It's nice to know you're doing better than somebody else.
02:05:46.000It's something about human beings that they like.
02:05:48.000I think it's convenient to ignore people that you're not going to profit from.
02:05:53.000If you are investing a bunch of money in green energy or investing a bunch of money in whatever stupid shit you're doing with windmills, someone's making money.
02:06:03.000If you're fixing South Side of Chicago, if you're creating community centers and robust education and counseling and providing mentorship and paths to jobs and giving people an opportunity to make real money that's enticing so they don't want to sell drugs or kill people.
02:06:21.000Like, how are you making money doing that?
02:06:35.000But there's no effort being done to it.
02:06:37.000So this guy that's seeing these crimes that were committed in the same area in Baltimore in the 1970s, and this is in the 2000s, he's seeing the same shit.
02:07:07.000There's a convenience in allowing it to stay that way.
02:07:10.000Like, you can count on them to vote a certain way.
02:07:12.000If you keep giving them welfare, if you keep giving them food stamps, the people that want that are always the Democrats.
02:07:18.000So those people are always going to vote Democrat for you.
02:07:20.000So, like, it's within your best interest to not make them, like, conservative Republicans or, like, very disciplined and work real hard and get to the gym at 4.30 before they show up at work at 7 and kick some ass and make some fucking money, Wilson.
02:08:31.000What better way to destroy your house than to bring some fentanyl addict in?
02:08:35.000This is how you're going to create more chaos.
02:08:37.000And then California is trying to pass a new law that's being proposed where if someone breaks into your house and threatens your life, you're not allowed to shoot them.
02:09:08.000It's almost like they're trying to destroy people's confidence in law enforcement, confidence in community, the feeling of being safe, ramp up everybody's level of anxiety, and then offer a solution.
02:09:20.000And the solution is to disarm everybody.
02:09:23.000The solution is to clamp down further and further on gun laws, make it very difficult to have a gun.
02:09:28.000You can't have magazines more than 10 rounds.
02:10:23.000This is an amazing show called Trafficked, and they went down to L.A., and they followed these rogue cops who are bringing guns into Mexico and selling them.
02:11:17.000Scratched out part says the bill would eliminate certain circumstances under which homicide is justifiable, including amongst others, in defense of a habitation or property.
02:11:26.000The bill would additionally clarify circumstances in which homicide is not justifiable, including among others, when a person uses more force than necessary to defend against a danger.
02:11:59.000Okay. The bill would eliminate that provision.
02:12:02.000The bill would also specify certain circumstances in which homicide is not justifiable, including when a person was outside their habitation or property and did not retreat when they could have safely done so, when a person used more force than a reasonable person would have.
02:12:38.000This rule already is like, well, this doesn't make sense.
02:12:39.000It says it specifies the circumstances, so that might be...
02:12:43.000But no, but Jamie, you would do it in the context of the sentence.
02:12:46.000This bill would also specify certain circumstances in which homicide is not justifiable, including when a person was outside their habitation or property.
02:13:49.000If I was a judge, I'd say you're argumentative.
02:13:51.000However, the bill would specify that homicide is justifiable if the initial aggressor actually...
02:13:58.000and in good faith tried to stop fighting and indicated they wanted to and tried to stop fighting as specified or in cases of mutual combat the initial aggressor gave the opponent an opportunity to stop fighting so if someone starts fucking you up and then gives you an opponent it gives you an opportunity rather to stop fighting and you don't you keep fighting them and kill them but they've already started fighting with you You're in danger zone.
02:14:25.000To be reasonable while your life is in danger is to open yourself up to getting fucked up.
02:14:31.000Because it's like, no, no, come on, man.
02:14:48.000If you don't know what's going to stop them.
02:14:50.000If you have a gun and someone is charging at you with a fucking machete and you bang, bang, bang while they're still alive and that winds up killing them, you could have just shot them once.
02:15:01.000You could be in front of a jury and they could say, you could have stopped with the first bullet.
02:15:05.000And then you have a coroner who says, yes, the first bullet was fatal.
02:15:08.000Or, yes, the first bullet would have stopped him, but he shot him two additional times.
02:15:15.000Now you're in jail because you were in terrified of your life and you thought you were gonna die and you did something in a split moment where you're not even thinking straight like you're you're To ask an accountant to keep his shit together in a look if you ask a Navy SEAL to keep his shit together and they're they're fucking they're probably like oh Finally someone broke into my house.
02:16:35.000I just feel like we have to be really careful in this country that we don't get more divided by all this fucking political chaos that we're experiencing.
02:16:45.000We've got to be real careful as human beings that we don't fall prey to that.
02:17:03.000Of course, I don't think people should be coming to the country and all that stuff, but I also do think women should be able to do what they want with the fucking baby in their stomach.
02:17:21.000And then also, like, if you don't feel for people that walked here with their babies because they just want to get a job as a landscaper, like, I get it.
02:17:31.000I think the process for getting people in should be – but it's also – it's like how many can we support?
02:17:37.000Like what kind of a strain is this on Social Security?
02:17:41.000What kind of a strain is this on Medicare?
02:17:43.000Have this been – and is there a way to like make where they're from better?
02:17:48.000And wouldn't that like increase – Revenues?
02:17:51.000If all of a sudden you had another country right next door that's buying and trading and making tons of money, wouldn't that be better for everybody?
02:17:59.000If they stopped being a third world country and became a first world country, wouldn't that be super beneficial?
02:19:42.000So in Delaware, they're not allowed to go to school, in public school, with white kids hunting.
02:19:49.000That sparked my sense of outrage as a kid, just like it does-- I mean-- And these young kids right here can tell you things affect them when they learn about something that's really just unfair and unjust.
02:20:00.000You know, my dad, my dad was an honorable man.
02:20:05.000And my dad used to have an expression.
02:20:08.000He said, Joey, your job's about a lot more than a paycheck.
02:22:02.000I think he had 9,000 pardons, and it was all auto-penned.
02:22:07.000So it's like everybody's like, if I had imagined, like worst case scenario, I'm not assuming or accusing anybody doing this, but I would imagine if you got a hold of that auto pen, be like, yo, yo, yo, I got the auto pen.
02:23:04.000If he's not sane enough, if he's not there enough to stand trial, how could he be there enough to decide whether or not someone deserves a pardon?
02:24:24.000That's the craziest shit that there were people in Colorado that were in jail for selling marijuana, looking out the window of their prison.
02:24:47.000See, that's the good thing about progressive governments, right?
02:24:51.000Progressive governments like Colorado, they realize that people's right to experiment with all kinds of different things, including alcohol.
02:25:00.000But also, like, you should have the freedom to take things.
02:25:04.000You should have the freedom to explore your own consciousness.
02:25:08.000And Colorado agreed with that real early.
02:31:18.000Burr, I mean, Hamilton wasn't trying to kill him.
02:31:20.000He shot over his head, because that was like a thing you do if you weren't trying to kill somebody, but you were like, I'm letting you know, but like, we're doing it, but I'm not trying to kill you.
02:31:25.000But he didn't know, because he shot first.
02:33:50.000Don Lemon is talking to this British lady about reparations for slavery, and she lays out the beginnings of slavery to Don Lemon, and you see Don Lemon's dumb ass like,"Oh, very interesting." Watch this.
02:34:46.000And then you have those who are asking for reparations for colonialism, and they're wondering, you know, $100 billion, $24 billion here and there, $500 million there.
02:34:58.000Some people want to be paid back, and members of the public are wondering, why are we suffering when you are...
02:35:03.000You know, you have all of this vast wealth.
02:35:07.000Well, I think you're right about reparations in terms of if people want it, though, what they need to do is you always need to go back to the beginning of a supply chain.
02:35:15.000Where was the beginning of the supply chain?
02:35:48.000If reparations need to be paid, we need to go right back to the beginning of that supply chain and say, who was rounding up their own people and having them handcuffed in cages?
02:35:57.000Absolutely, that's where they should start.
02:35:59.000And maybe, I don't know, the descendants of those families where they died in the high seas, trying to stop the slavery, that those families should receive something too, I think, at the same time.
02:38:19.000With AI and the ability to generate wealth and what you're going to be able to figure out and do and the different ways that people are going to be able to manipulate markets and dominate certain industries with AI, I think the have and have nots.
02:38:35.000And then you're going to have also automation, which takes over everything.
02:40:32.000He's flying by you, so it's like, no, it knew the speed and rate that he was going.
02:40:37.000And it knew that there was an open lane, so it hit the blinkers, and it changed lanes.
02:40:42.000And it knows there's people behind me, it knows there's people to the right of me.
02:40:46.000It stops at red lights, dude, and then speeds up again, stops at stop signs, it sees the cars to the left and cars to the right, knows when to go, and you can just kind of check out.
02:40:57.000You just, like, hold your hand like this, think about your life.
02:44:17.000People, so that they can kill the rhinos, they can cut their horns off so they could sell them to Asia, where very wealthy people get off on the fact that they're drinking rhino horn tea.
02:44:28.000And they think it makes your dick hard.
02:44:30.000Yeah, they do think it makes your dick hard.
02:46:08.000I'm gonna knock this motherfucker off the tracks this time.
02:46:10.000He got hit by a train twice, has all the cubs, and apparently eats other bears sometimes just to remind people because he's so old that the young bears try him.
02:46:17.000So I read he eats them sometimes just to be like, I gotta let everybody know.
02:48:39.000Are the apex because you were saying some yesterday we were talking we were saying how like it's crazy to think that aliens wouldn't think we're interesting Yeah, that's that dumb argument that I had with Neil deGrasse Tyson like what are you saying?
02:48:49.000Because when you think about like me we are the top dog on this planet That's interesting in itself different than everything else here if you're gonna study anything anywhere in the fucking universe Of course you would study human beings if you're gonna study Anything.
02:49:02.000You would go, what is this wild, crazy, territorial primate with nuclear weapons and cell phone addictions?
02:52:12.000That was another thing I was reading about, like, Chinese illegal vapes.
02:52:16.000Like, bootleg vapes that have entered into this country.
02:52:19.000Like, pretending to be, like, legitimate companies that are selling vapes, and they're just using fucking gutter oil, and who knows what the fuck's inside of those things.
