Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
Oh, alpha brain?
I just took some alpha brain, so I'm going to be fucking sharp.
I've got this stuff too, if you want it.
It's an energy drink that also has nootropics in it.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah, good stuff.
Yeah.
Gregory!
Joseph!
Good to see you, my friend.
Good to see you, man.
The world's on fire.
The world is on fire.
Good time for you to come in.
Woo!
I mean, I literally, I mean, talking about being addicted to your scroll, I've
got to really
put the fucking phone down sometimes.
I know.
Yeah, it's not good.
No!
It's not good for your brain to see all the problems of the world all piling,
and everything
looks like it's about to blow up.
Yeah.
Iran looks like it's about to blow up.
They're talking about going into Cuba.
Don Lemon went to jail.
It's like, it's all crazy.
It's like, what's next?
Well, you know, when jail gives you lemons.
And it's also like, what's that whole theory about we're only supposed to be
exposed to
like 200 people in our life?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's Dunbar's number.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
Well, you only can keep that many people in your head.
But you should only know about that many divorces and that much cheating and
that much killing
as would happen within 200.
And crime and you fill in the blank.
Right.
You know, fraud, waste, abuse, international politics, restrictions on speech
in England.
Yeah.
You see this fucking crazy story?
This guy in England, an illegal alien, was a squatter in his house.
The court ruled that because he didn't live in the house, the guy didn't live
in the house,
it was an empty house.
They gave him the house.
They gave the squatter the house.
The squatter sold it for 540 grand.
The squatter sold his house.
Took his house because he was living it.
And this guy was like a pensioner.
He was just a guy who had like an extra house, like a fucking investment
property.
You're right.
And this guy moved into it.
Have you seen it, Jamie?
I'm seeing something from a year ago.
I don't know.
Somebody sent it to me today.
They had that in New York back in the 70s and 80s.
There was a lot of empty units like down on the Lower East Side, like Topkin
Square Park area.
There was a lot of squatting.
Yeah, this is it.
Squatter moved to the pensioner's empty home, then won the legal right to keep
it and sold
the house for 500, I guess 540, is that euros or pounds?
Is that pounds?
What's that weird?
Pounds, yeah.
England has pounds still.
That's fucking crazy.
That's so crazy.
England has lost its fucking mind.
It's almost like they want people to either revolt or completely submit.
It's one or the other.
It's like you're either begging for a revolution or you're begging for people
to completely submit.
They've arrested 12,000 people this year for social media posts.
Oh, that's right.
And most of it is criticizing immigration.
Just criticizing immigration.
Just saying immigration sucks.
We should send these people back home.
Cops show up at your door.
Right, right.
Crazy.
Well, TikTok is now not allowing people to post anything that is anti-ice.
Not just that.
You can't post the juice box emoji.
What's that?
Because it's code for Jews.
Because people were using it because they were blocking content where they were
criticizing Israel.
Wait, why is the juice box Jews?
I don't know.
Oh, juice?
Juice box?
Juice?
It is funny.
But did they block the use?
This is somebody sent me this.
I haven't verified this.
Did they block the use of the word Epstein?
I mean, I saw, I don't, I'm not on the app, but I saw a video of someone trying,
you know.
Yeah, let's run that through perplexity.
And ask if it's blocked.
See if perplexity will rat out TikTok.
Right, because that's...
It's so crazy that they would do it because they just purchased it, right?
So it was just purchased by some, what is the group?
Is it, did Larry Ellison's group purchase it?
Yes.
Okay.
Which is a tremendous supporter of Netanyahu in Israel.
Right.
So, yeah.
Yeah.
There you go.
So you got censored news now.
So any criticism of Palestine, what's going on in Gaza, all that stuff's going
to get squashed, probably.
TikTok says, does not have a rule that bans or blocks the word Epstein across
the app,
but many U.S. users have recently been unable to send that word in direct
messages.
Now, I have a friend, his name's Bobby Epstein, totally unrelated.
He's the guy who owns the Coda racetrack.
He's a good friend of mine.
I can't send a message saying I was just talking to my friend Bobby Epstein.
Oh, no shit.
That's crazy.
Wow.
Epstein is a super common name.
Yeah.
That's a super, it's like Jones.
It was on Welcome Back, Cotter.
Right.
Yeah.
Epstein from Welcome Back, Cotter.
That's right.
You can't talk about him anymore.
He played my brother on news radio.
No.
Yes.
Him, Nick DiPaolo, and Brian Callen played my brothers, and we all just beat
the shit out
of each other during the entire episode.
That's amazing.
It was hilarious.
It was hilarious.
Yeah, Nick threw me through a plate glass window, and then the brother shows up.
Epstein was a priest, and he showed up with a bat.
We were all scared of our older brother.
It was really funny.
He was the Jew, the Puerto Rican Jew from Brooklyn.
He was great.
Yeah.
He was a really nice guy, too.
So, what else does it say here?
Newsom to probe claims of Trump-critical censorship on TikTok.
I think they're fucking blocking a lot of things on certain social media
platforms.
I mean, I think-
Well, what is that?
I mean, what's your big picture take on whether or not social media platforms,
which are privately
owned, have a responsibility that, say, regular broadcast networks would have
in terms of not
censoring things?
Well, regular broadcast's problem is they censor things.
Right.
They don't just report on the news.
They report on what they decide they're going to report on.
Like, it's a CNN hourly news segment.
They have no responsibility to tell you about any particular story.
None.
Zero.
Yeah.
So, they'll wait until something becomes, like, unmanageable before they'll
start talking
about it.
Right.
So, something, like, starts getting traction on social media, like some sort of
a corruption
scandal, if it's a left-wing scandal, they can ignore it.
Right.
And they have no obligation to-
It's not like we have to tell you about these very-
Right.
It's not like, you know, we ran it through AI.
There's 20 things that the American public has to know about.
So, they censor, or at least they curate the content.
I think for social media platforms, if Elon Musk didn't buy Twitter, we would
be fucked.
Because there would be no place where you could say whatever you want.
Even heinous things, right?
Yeah.
But if someone says heinous things, you can block them and not interact with
them.
Mm-hmm.
And you can let other people tear them down and tear them apart.
And that's how it's supposed to be.
It's supposed to be, you don't counter hate speech with censorship.
You counter it with better speech.
Right.
And you appeal to rational people and sensible people that go, this is why this
guy is wrong.
This is why racism is wrong.
This is why rash generalizations are wrong.
This is why it's wrong.
Yeah.
And that's how you're supposed to do it.
It's supposed to be a free speech town hall platform.
It's supposed to be like the town square where everybody can get together and
talk about ideas.
And that's how it should be.
Right.
And there's been a lot of calls that say that you shouldn't be able to be
anonymous on social media,
that you should have consequences for your actions.
The problem with that is then you lose all your whistleblowers, right?
All the whistleblowers that are talking about giant corporations are doing
horrible things to the environment,
secretly in other countries, which we find out about all the time.
Like the Steven Dossinger case where that guy got arrested.
He was prosecuted.
Was it Exxon?
The Dossinger case?
But it's like whistleblowers are important.
Yes.
You know?
And if you don't have whistleblowers, you don't find out.
Like if Edward Snowden doesn't come out, we know so little about the NSA.
We know so little about government spying and yeah.
He's an American former attorney known for his legal battle.
Oh, Chevron.
Particularly with, so he was arrested and he went to jail, man, for criminal
contempt.
I mean, that's First Amendment, isn't it?
You know, I don't know exactly the details of the case.
He spent 45 days in prison and a combined total of 993 days under house arrest.
Wow.
Not only do they go to jail, it depletes all your savings.
If they decide to prosecute you, your life is ruined.
That's part of the point of it all.
It's to also discourage other people from doing the same thing.
So if you're an attorney and you're thinking of prosecuting, you know, shell,
you're not
going to do that now.
You're going to go, fuck this.
You know, I have a fucking house.
Right.
I'm trying to buy a Porsche.
And then you're back at it.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
You know.
I mean, yeah, it's a weird thing because like I know like right now to cover
the Pentagon,
no journalist can go into the Pentagon unless they sign an agreement to only
put out government
sponsored press releases.
Government approved?
Government approved.
So now you've got very few people inside the Pentagon, which is where the
whistleblowing
was happening.
They're in the back halls of the Pentagon.
That's crazy.
But then you see the problem with the Pentagon is you're talking about national
security.
And if someone released something like the name of an agent that was undercover
somewhere
and something happened, that person got killed or compromised or some sort of a
national security
interest, you know, was the whole thing was tanked.
Yeah.
That's it.
The Pentagon's different.
I mean, I'm not saying that they, that the press shouldn't have access to
Pentagon officials.
They certainly should, but it's like going there is kind of different, right?
It's like the FBI just arrested.
They just had a giant sweep on gangs in this country today.
They just released that they found like, I think it was 10 kilos of drugs.
They arrested 50 people.
Cartels in America.
Yeah.
And so they made a giant arrest today.
I think they arrested 200.
See if you can find what that story is.
But like, imagine if you were in the FBI office and you heard about an imminent
attack and
you printed something.
Like if you're a reporter and you're covering this stuff and you have access to
this information
somehow.
Yeah.
And it gets released and these guys find out about it and they skate.
They nab...
Latin kings.
50 Latin kings in Operation Broken Crown after a three months sweep.
So what is the details of it?
Okay.
Last three months, the FBI has quietly executed...
Sorry, I was about to...
Okay.
This is on X.
Quietly executed Operation Broken Crown, a sweeping violent gang takedown
involving 13 field offices
targeting the Latin kings gangs.
Members which were publicly threatening law enforcement officers.
50 arrests, $200,000 in seized assets.
Seizure of 10 kilos of illicit narcotics.
Interesting.
Interesting.
Well, so like, that kind of a situation, you can't have access to that
information before
they do it.
That has to be very tight-lipped, you know?
But there's only a few of those kind of scenarios that I can imagine.
But when it comes to like politicians and backdoor deals, like, there should be
live footage of
it.
It should be live streamed.
Well, you only found out about the bomb, the illegal bombings in Cambodia
because there
was a whistleblower inside of the Pentagon.
Exactly.
Exactly.
So it does, you do need some access.
Yeah.
But it's like, well, you need whistleblowers, right?
Right.
But it's like, how many people, there's, here's the thing about like
intelligence agencies and
there's a lot of good people that are working there.
It's like we judge them based on the evil people that are probably the ones
