Joe Rogan Experience #2398 - Francis Foster & Konstantin Kisin

Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.
So what's happening?
It's all good, man.
When are you bailing out of your country?
Sinking.
That is the fucking Titanic and you are one of the last deckhands.
We're going to stand and fight, man.
Are you really?
Yeah.
Good luck.
No, we are.
Good luck.
As long as it's still okay.
They're going to arrest you for saying stand and fight.
It's excitement of violence.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, but it's interesting.
I mean, obviously you had Graham Linehan on the show.
We're going to have him on as well soon to talk about it.
But they're not going to prosecute him.
And not only that, they also said they are not going to investigate non-crime
hate incidents anymore.
Do you know what those are?
Oh, interesting.
It's basically when you've committed no crime, but you're still hateful.
Oh, okay.
But that's also very subjective too.
Yeah, of course.
Of course.
So they're not going to investigate them anymore.
Yeah.
But they're still going to keep track of them is what they said.
Oh, keep track.
We've got an eye on you.
We're going to make a record of it, but won't investigate.
So are they going to stop arresting people for social media posts then?
What do you think, Joe?
I think no.
I think it's profitable.
It's probably a nice fine, right?
What do you get?
Do you get a fine?
I don't think it's about that.
I think, you know, during the uber woke era, they put all these laws on the
statute book and the police have to enforce the law, right?
They have no choice because if a bunch of people complain and then they don't
investigate the people that have been reported.
Oh, that's what it's all about?
They get in trouble.
Of course.
Like, you know, police officers, right?
Police officers don't like enforcing these dumb laws.
Of course.
It's put on them from above.
Yeah.
I just didn't know that all that stuff was put in place in your country during
the woke era.
Yeah, it was.
In the heavy rope.
It's almost like a fever dream, you know, when you really go back and pay
attention to some of the more insane woke stuff from, like, just five years ago.
Yeah.
Like, everyone was losing their fucking mind.
But, like, if I was an elite, if I was one of those lizard people running the
world, I'd have been like, well, looky here.
This is really interesting.
Like, this was just a cold.
It was just a cold and a little bit of social media input.
And we got these people behaving in a way that they'd never behaved before.
Admitting to things they'd never admitted to before.
Adhering to rules that never existed before.
Yeah, I think the thing that I found the most, the worst bit about it wasn't
necessarily the behavior of the elites.
It was the behavior of ordinary people during that time.
Yeah.
The fact that your neighbor was so willing to snitch on you because you went
for a second walk.
Well, that's why I was interested in it as a lizard person.
If I was a lizard person elite, I'd be like, look, these people are dumb.
Like, this is really easy to manipulate, especially, I was just talking to a
buddy of mine who's fleeing L.A.
And he was like, I can't anymore.
I tried.
I just fucking hung in there.
I can't do it anymore.
He's like, everybody went crazy.
It's like, there's something that happened because of the pandemic and the
Black Lives Matter protests and the riots and all the cases.
It just, like, whatever the temperature of society was, is like, it hit
societal global warming where it's like, it's time to investigate Greenland.
It's time to move north.
Like, this is a bad climate now.
This sucks.
And L.A. is a perfect example of this because we talk about this all the time.
You get out of the airport at L.A. X.
You feel that L.A. sun on your skin and you just go, this is paradise.
Yeah.
It's the whole, and then you walk out and you see this, it's paradise.
And they fucked it up so bad that people will literally pack up and leave
paradise.
What Donald Trump should do is when he leaves the office, run for governor of
California.
And just take over California and fix it.
It would be hilarious if he did.
It would be one of the funniest things of all time.
If an 82-year-old man steps into the office of governor of California, we're
going to fix everything.
You've got a problem with water.
I know how to get the water.
It would be fucking hilarious.
But it's almost like, so there's a very old joke about Venezuela where God was
creating Venezuela.
And he was like, you know what I'm going to do?
I'm going to make sure they have diamonds, they have gold, they have desert,
but they also have jungle.
They have beautiful beaches.
It's going to be rich in oil.
And the whole, and then the entire world goes, hey, that's unfair.
Like, they've got to have something bad.
And God goes, yeah, you know what?
You're right.
Let's give them the Venezuelans.
And that's almost like that with California.
You're like, California's too perfect.
You know what I mean?
It's got everything you need.
Right.
So what are you going to do?
You've got to give them something fucked up.
And it's just these crazy people who believe in these stupid ideas.
But it wasn't for a long time.
I mean, you've got to realize Arnold was the governor of California, right?
And then, you know, Ronald Reagan's from California.
He was the governor of California at one time, too.
It wasn't always that nuts.
And when you went back to when I went there in the 1990s, it was much more
moderate politically.
Like, you know, people were definitely left-leaning, but it wasn't a focus.
It wasn't a thing that was discussed all the time.
It would just, it wasn't.
And I remember working with many, like, older actors who were openly
conservative.
No one cared.
It was just like, oh, this is Bob.
You know, he's really into Bob Dole.
Like, you know, it wasn't, it wasn't unusual.
Something happened around the Obama administration.
Something happened specifically around his second term that really changed
everything.
And if you look at, like, internet, like, searches and use of certain words,
especially racism.
Yes.
It flies.
It just hits a giant.
2014.
Yes.
2014.
Right around that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it's not just in America.
It's literally everywhere in the world.
That's why I think it's social media that's caused that.
A hundred percent.
It's social media.
And it's, it's, there's a, there's a bunch of factors, but the problem is now
that the
genie's out of the bottle, they know how easy we are to manipulate.
And I don't think people are learning.
They're tick tocking all day long.
And they're just like getting blasted with all this negativity and strife and
global conflict
and Colombian assassinations.
That's what I get.
A lot of these assassinations in like cafes.
Someone pulls up on a scooter, bang, bang, and they drive off and everybody
screams.
I've seen a hundred and thousand of those.
I've seen, you know, it's like everybody's like completely ramped up.
And at the same time, you've got people in the UK getting arrested for Facebook
posts about
immigration.
So I think part of the problem is, is that people, when they go on these posts,
they're
not looking for, to learn something.
As you just said, what they actually want is an emotional reaction.
They want to feel something.
Right.
If you live in a society where it's comparatively the easiest it's ever been
and your life is
boring.
Cause all you do is get up, you go to work, you go, you have food, you commute,
you come
back.
It's essentially a treadmill where you don't feel any of the ups and downs of
emotion.
Right.
Then what way would you get that?
But by going online and seeing something fucking awful happening, you feel
terror, you feel
sadness, you feel rage.
I guess most basic, you feel alive.
Well, it's also just, that's what you're going to watch, you know?
And so you're getting sucked into it just because of the algorithm, which is
crazy.
No one ever considered algorithms before.
We considered access to information, but we didn't consider that information be
curated
to hold your attention span.
And all of these factors have not been studied well.
You know, there's been a few guys like Jonathan Haight writing about it, a few
scholars that
are really attempting to like say, Hey, what is the, what's the sociological
and what are the,
what is the longterm consequences of this happening also for children?
These are the first children in the, in human history growing up on social
media, never been
done before.
We don't know what that's like.
Like what is it going to change in terms of empathy, in terms of hostility,
acceptance
of violence, which is a completely brand new thing on the left.
Acceptance and celebration of gun violence never happened before when I was a
kid.
It never existed.
No one from the left ever celebrated anybody getting assassinated ever.
It just wasn't a thing.
It's so crazy, man.
And you're talking about like language as well.
Like we have this, we have a, the leader of the green party in the UK, new guys
coming
through is very popular with people on the left or on, on that side of the left
anyway.
And it's been what, how long has it been since Charlie Kirk was assassinated?
Like a month?
And he's running around calling like, not, not far right people.
Just like Nigel Farage is a Nazi, is a fascist.
And you just, and you're going, you, and we've discussed this so many times
with you, man.
It's like when you call people these words, like if you and I and Francis
thought the Nazis
were here to take over, we'd all fight them.
So what do you expect people to do when you put, you're putting the target on
people's backs?
You are 100% and you're doing it in, just for political persuasion power.
That's really all it is.
That's what it is.
It's like no one really believes Nigel Farage is a fucking Nazi.
He's kind of goofy.
He's not a Nazi.
Like what is a Nazi then?
And here's the real problem.
This is what nobody wants to admit.
If you're in Nazi Germany and you're a 20 year old man and you're German and
everyone in your
town is a Nazi, you're probably a Nazi too, or you're Jew and you're running,
you're running
from these motherfuckers.
So either you're a Jew or you're a Nazi.
You're either Jewish or you're, you're a fucking evil part of history that
everybody refers
to as the worst people of all time.
Absolutely.
And you know, we're talking about scary.
Yeah.
But it's human nature.
Sorry for us.
It's just, we interviewed David Buss yesterday.
You've had him on, right?
Yes.
Evolutionary.
I mean, this is one of the things he talked about is like within us is the
ability.
We have good adaptations and we have evil adaptations.
Yes.
And if you put people in a certain context and those adaptations are in all of
us.
Yeah.
Donner party.
People eat people.
Yeah.
You get, get down to, I might die or I might eat somebody.
You eat people.
Yeah.
The guy's already dead.
We should just eat them.
And then you all sit around and go, oh my God, are we really going to eat a
person?
And then you're eating a person like everybody does.
They all have.
Very few people just starve to death when you could just eat a person who's
already dead.
And it's, you know, Zach Polanski, what he does is to me.
This is a green party.
The green party guy is completely wrong.
But then there are people on the far left.
So there's a member of parliament called Zahra Sultana.
Yes, that is her real name.
Zahra Sultana.
And yeah.
She sounds like a boss in a video game.
Yeah.
Well, what's really interesting is she, she put a clip on her social media
where she goes
and she set up this new far left political party.
And she says, we've got to fight fascists in parliament.
We got to fight them in the ballot box.
And you're going, all right, look, I don't like the rhetoric.
And then she says something even more interesting.
And we've got to fight them in the streets.
Now you think to yourself, right, if you classify Nigel Farage and the people
who vote ref
