Joe Rogan Experience #2266 - Brian Simpson

Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.
Little thing you say.
Like, imagine having to be that measured in everything you say all the time.
Just stick to the talking points.
Bro, that's my whole life.
Ugh, that's stressful.
Yeah, it's super stressful, especially if you're a little intoxicated.
You know, you get a couple of whiskeys and you start talking shit.
You got to be responsible for every word that comes out of your mouth, even if
it's stupid.
But, you know, I think people get it.
They get that people are human beings and they can stumble.
Like, people, they forgave a lot of Biden stumbles until they were like, what
the fuck?
You know, a lot of people, like, in 2020 were like, there's no way.
There's no way he's going to do it.
He was too old to run when it was 2016.
Yeah, but, you know, he's kind of always been known for the gaffes.
Because I remember when Obama was picked him, that was the number one concern
was like, oh, but sometimes he's been saying shit.
Didn't Obama, he was famously quoted as Joe as a, don't worry, Joe will find a
way to fuck things up.
Oh, I never heard that.
This supposedly, well, it's hard to know what the quote was, but supposedly.
But he got out of all of it.
Yeah, well, that's because the machine was behind him, right?
So he gets into office and you saw that Mike Johnson guy, the Speaker of the
House.
He said that he had talked to him.
It took a year to have a meeting and he finally had this meeting with him.
And he wanted to talk to him about something.
And he said, why did you sign this executive order?
And it had something to do with liquid natural gas.
He said, I didn't sign that.
He said, yes, you did, sir.
You signed it.
Can we get it?
And so he has a secretary printed up.
He brings it in.
He'd never read it.
So he was just signing executive orders that he didn't even know.
He didn't know what it was about.
He thought it was about research and it was about shutting it down.
And so there's a bunch of people behind him that want to do things.
And they think it's for the best interest of the country.
And they're all acting as a big group that's like the puppeteer of the
president.
And that's not how it's supposed to be.
It's not supposed to be that way.
But isn't it like that with every president?
I don't know.
Because I think when a president brings in a new cabinet and the new cabinet
starts doing different things, then you see what's happening right now.
Right.
So they've already found thousands of criminals that had snuck in here and had
committed multiple crimes while they were here.
And the Biden administration had left them here.
And they allowed them to stay in these sanctuary cities and sanctuary states.
And Trump's just yanking them out and flying them back to Colombia and flying
them back to Mexico and flying them back to wherever they're from.
Get the fuck out of here.
And exporting them in planes.
The Biden administration could have done this, too.
Yeah, but I think every president that get in there, they do little shit
different than the other side.
But at the end of the day, the big major shit that would help out the average
people, it always just falls short a couple of votes.
So Trump is talking about getting rid of income tax and replacing it with
tariffs.
I asked him about that on the podcast.
What?
I thought he was joking around.
Yeah, exactly.
He was saying that it would be better for the economy.
We'd have way more money if instead of you paying tax, these companies should
be paying tax.
Like, why are they making such a killing off the American people?
But the companies would just charge us bigger prices, wouldn't they?
Well, here's the thing.
Could they, if we had American manufacturing that can make the same products?
No.
So the whole reason why-
You can't make the same products for the same price.
But if you have other countries charge tariffs, and I think we've charged
tariffs in the past, and it's an interesting thing.
It's like you make a trade agreement.
It's essentially a trade agreement.
And his position has always been that one side of the trade agreement was unbalanced,
and America does a stupid job at negotiating its trade agreements.
So he wants tariffs and everything.
That's what he threatened the guy from Colombia with.
He said, because they didn't want to take the prisoners, the flights were
coming over, and he didn't want to give them approval to land.
He said, we're going to tax you, we're going to tariff you 25%, and then, like,
in a week, we're going to jack it up to 50%.
And this guy wrote, like, a poem to Trump.
It was the most ridiculous thing ever.
The guy's a wild dude.
I mean, that's the thing.
It's like, if you bring in the tariffs, you have to make them so high that the
American goods were cheaper by comparison.
Well, you'd have to really ramp up American manufacturing in a lot of places.
Like, we don't make phones.
That's one of the craziest things about America.
We can't make a phone.
We can't even make a phone.
We make mistakes.
Well, I mean, maybe we could make a phone.
Isn't there one phone that is made in America?
Is there one phone that's manufactured here?
I think there is.
I mean, even if it's assembled here.
Is it the nothing phone?
Is that it?
I think it might be assembled here.
I think they still have to get something.
They still have to get shit from China.
Yeah.
They have to get shit from Taiwan.
They have to get shit from India.
Yeah.
Everybody gets their shit from somewhere.
Yeah.
I mean, like I said, the problem with American manufacturing is you can't do it
for as cheap as you have to pay people.
No, our problem is, first of all, we're addicted to buying new shit all the
time.
I have a bunch of phone lines, and one of my phone lines, I have an iPhone 11.
It's like five years old.
I don't notice when I'm using it, as long as it still works.
You don't notice on a normal experience.
What do I do with my phone?
I'm not fucking making complex video rendering.
You know, what am I doing?
I'm watching YouTube videos.
I'm text messaging people.
You don't notice, right?
But we're force-fed this idea that you're supposed to get a new one every year.
It's one of the weirdest things.
You get a new TV every year?
You get a new computer every year?
Why the fuck do you get a new phone every year?
But every year, they keep pushing us to get a new phone.
If you make a phone that's American-made, more durable, and lasts more than a
year,
it would be worth a premium, and I wouldn't have to feel bad about, like,
slaves in China making it.
Like, he makes it, like, the only phone.
They need to bring back the Nokia phones.
Remember those brick phones?
Yes.
Well, don't do that.
Indestructible?
Make it dope.
Make it a dope phone.
But, you know.
I don't know, man.
I think those days are long gone.
The days of American manufacturing?
Yeah.
Well, I think with incentives, with government incentives, and people
understanding that this competition that we're having is all technologically
based.
And if all of our technology is getting made in another country, that's
essentially a national security issue.
See, you know what I realize is, like, why?
Because sometimes, you know, politics comes up in the green room, and I just, I
always separate myself from the conversation because I realize what everybody
has, regardless of what size of issues they're on, is they, y'all have hope.
I'm cynical.
I'm cynical than a motherfucker.
I'm like, this shit was over.
This shit bit.
You know, it's like, for me, I'm like, I see the asteroid coming.
Yeah.
And I'm like, ain't nothing we gonna be able to do about that.
Fitness isn't just about what you do in the gym.
It's also about your nutrition.
But even with the best diet, some nutrients can be hard to get, and AG1 can
help fill those gaps.
AG1 delivers optimal amounts of nutrients in forms that help your body perform.
AG1 makes foundational nutrition easy because there aren't a million different
pills and capsules you have to keep track of.
It's just one scoop mixed in water.
It's such an easy routine to keep in the mornings.
Ingredients in AG1 are selected for absorption, nutrient density, and potency,
and are intentionally picked to work in sync with the whole formula for optimal
impact.
They are seriously committed to quality.
AG1 has tested for hundreds of contaminants and impurities, and they're
constantly reformulating their recipe to dial it in.
This is all part of why I've partnered with AG1 for years.
So get started with AG1 this holiday season and get a free bottle of vitamin D3,
K2, and five free AG1 travel packs with your first purchase at drinkag1.com
slash Joe Rogan.
That's a $76 value gift for free if you go to drinkag1.com slash Joe Rogan.
Seriously, get on this.
I don't know that.
I'm interested to see.
Look, if Robert F. Kennedy Jr. gets approved, I'm interested to see.
If they start removing pesticides and herbicides and all these things that are
killing people, if people's health improves, if we remove things from the human
diet, if just start educating people on the importance of diet and exercise, I
would love to see that.
But, you know, the problem with that is we live in a society where, like, none
of that shit's going to happen unless they make more money than what we already
doing.
That's not necessarily true because you can motivate people.
There's a real power in free motivation.
And having a government that's, like, promoting health in that way would cause
a bunch of people to take that step that they've been thinking about taking.
So a lot of times motivation doesn't catch you flat.
Motivation catches you looking for motivation, right?
Like, you want to get your shit together?
Be like, God, I just fucking need to get to the gym.
I just need something.
And then one day the government announces that we are going to turn the health
of America around and we are going to promote a national fitness regime.
We're going to start bringing it to schools and kids to get people healthier.
We're going to bring in organic food and start feeding kids when you feed them
in public schools.
Didn't Michelle Obama try to do something like that?
Yeah, she did.
She got shut down immediately.
They shut her right the fuck down.
Yeah, they're like, no, I'm just down.
You're going to fucking kill our profit.
Fuck this healthy shit.
Because that's the other thing.
But what's different now than what's happening back then is we're so divided.
If somebody in the government suggested anything was the best, the healthiest
thing, at least half the country would be like, I'm not fucking with it for
that very reason.
Yep.
You're so right.
Yeah, it's like they attached Obama to Obamacare even though it was not a bad
thing.
Right.
And if Trump was going to be like, hey, every American, jumping jacks is the
best exercise.
People were like, you don't know Trump jacks.
Yeah.
That's your president's exercise.
So it was like, we so divided, nothing's going to stick.
I also think that the problem with like healthcare and all these things where
people are getting paid, you're dealing with a bunch of different games that
are being played inside a game that has a function.
And that function is healthcare.
Like it provides healthcare in a kind of shifty, shitty way.
But the game it's playing is make the most money.
That's the game it's playing.
It's playing a financial game.
Yeah.
That's why it's coming up with reasons to deny people and it's using AI to
figure out how to deny people.
And they deny a large amount of claims.
So it's, you got to look at it like what it actually is.
It's not that it's all bad, but that there's a bunch of different games.
Each person in that game is playing their own game.
You have thousands of employees.
You have thousands of people trying to corporate, climb the corporate ladder
and make more money and get promotions and make more money for the company and
impress the board.
They
