Joe Rogan Experience #2197 - Mike Baker

Joe Rogan Podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan Experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
We're up.
All right, we're up, Mr. Baker.
How are you, sir?
Really?
Good to see you.
We're just jumping right in.
Yeah.
Oh my God, I just sat down.
Well, there's so many things to talk about.
Is there?
Anything happen?
A few things happen until I saw you.
One guy got shot.
Some guy.
And the guy who shot him, just his body vanished.
Yeah.
No police.
Now, did he get shot?
Because I've seen a lot of people talk about this like, no, he didn't get shot.
That's hilarious.
Oh my God.
Do you think that he cut his ear like a pro wrestler?
Yeah.
I got shot like it's all fake.
The guy behind him who got murdered, that wasn't real?
I saw it.
Again, you would think that would be a clue.
But I've seen things where they say, no, he didn't have any blood on him.
And then he ducked down behind the podium just long enough.
And I'm thinking, are you fucking psycho?
They are psycho.
But, you know, but then, you know, to be fair, then, well, no, that can't be
fair.
How can you be fair about that?
There's no fair.
There's no fair.
We heard gunshots.
We saw a guy get shot who was shooting at him.
The guy behind him got murdered.
Yeah.
A couple other people got injured.
Life changing injuries.
Yes.
Yeah.
Serious injuries.
Yes.
Serious injuries.
I mean, it 100% happened.
To say it didn't happen is insane.
And then you had Joy Reid on TV saying, well, Biden got over COVID.
This is basically the same thing.
People are losing their fucking minds.
And they're afraid.
Everyone's afraid to be objective.
Because if you're objective, somehow or another, you're helping the other side.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
If you even try to walk a line that's somewhere near the middle of anything
nowadays.
That's me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You'll get, well, there you go then.
You'll get your ass kicked.
But I was telling Emily, I was telling my wife the other day that I consider
that a really
good thing.
Because like, oh my God, this is like, I'm two minutes into it and I'm already
mentioning
the podcast, The President's Daily Brief.
Look, I'm getting much better at this.
Good plug.
So on The President's Daily Brief, we try to just walk kind of down the middle.
We just tell you the news.
Here's the top things that are happening.
What I find is I get angry messages from both sides.
Sure.
Because I'm not staking out a position.
Right.
Right.
I'm just saying, here's what's happening.
And, you know, for the most part, we try to avoid context or atmosphere for the
most part.
But you're just pissing everybody off.
People want to get mad, first of all.
That's the thing.
Yeah.
Like, Andrew Huberman was talking about that today.
That the things that when they study, like, what excites people, what people
gravitate towards,
it's 100% like more potent to get angry about things.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think you're right.
There's some sort of, there must be some sort of chemical release in being
outraged, right?
That makes people feel good.
I think it's in our wiring, in our DNA, because we always had to look out for
threats.
So you find things that you perceive are threats or things that are going to be
a problem,
and you get angry about them.
And you do it on social media instead of in the jungle.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think with the Trump thing, though, I was surprised at how,
because it was about a day and a half, maybe, maybe it was 36 hours, of, oh,
fuck, how could
this happen?
Look what we created, this environment.
Yeah.
We have to be more civil with each other.
Yeah.
And that was a big push from the Democrats, right?
You remember Biden and Harris talking about, we've got to be more civil.
We've got to dial it back and turn down the temperature.
And that lasted, for that side, that lasted almost no time at all.
Less than two days.
Yeah.
And they were back calling him a piece of shit and a liar.
Yeah.
And, you know, the threat to democracy, and he's got to be stopped.
Unbelievable.
And, you know, now to be fair, you know, neither side really stuck to the idea.
I would argue if Trump, if Trump had just said, you know what, from a strategic
point
of view, maybe it's not me, maybe it's not what I want to do, but from a
strategic point
of view, if after that attempt had happened and he had just walked that civil
line and
said, you know, I've had a reflective moment.
And if he had kept the high road, think about the disparity there.
Because the Democrats, they would have, first of all, they would have gone
crazy because
they wouldn't have known what to do, but they also wouldn't have been able to
help themselves.
So they would have turned into, you know, they would have thrown the hand
grenades again
as usual.
And then you would have had Trump over here being the reasonable one and being
the reflective
and civil one.
That would have been a good strategy.
Yeah, but it didn't happen.
No, it's not in his nature.
No, no.
That's the scorpion and the frog.
Yeah.
I forgot about that story.
That's right.
The scorpion needs a ride across the pond.
Yeah, exactly.
It's the same thing.
I mean, that guy loves to talk shit.
He's calling Tim Walsh Tampon Tim now.
He's so good at it.
It's such a good nickname.
He's so good at it.
He's so good at that shit.
Oh my God.
Tampon Tim.
Look at what we're getting.
We're getting Harris and we're getting Walsh.
Unbelievable.
What do you think about Walsh's
descriptions of his military career
because there's some issues there
that people have.
I don't know if he flat out ever said
that he served in Afghanistan,
but he certainly didn't dissuade people
from saying that he was...
when they were saying he didn't correct them.
Right.
There was things...
He didn't and he didn't.
And you can look at interviews
and there's no pushback.
There's no like, excuse me,
you know, I didn't go to Iraq.
Exactly.
And I retired, you know,
as my unit was deploying.
And so...
Well, you retired a couple months
before his unit deployed, right?
A couple months before, yes.
What is the whole story behind it?
But those guys know,
they know that they're going, right?
It's not like,
it's not like they suddenly get a paper,
you know, on one day.
There's a buildup to that
and they're aware of it.
And so, you know,
even his personnel were saying,
look, we all knew we were going.
He knew he was going.
Now, okay, fine.
He made the decision, right?
But I think with his,
his, what do you want to call it?
Padding of his resume
for political purposes, obviously,
when he was running for Congress.
Well, there's more than one thing too, right?
He said he was a head coach.
Yeah, he was a head coach.
He was not a head coach.
He was an assistant coach,
which is an honorable thing.
There's nothing wrong
with being an assistant coach.
Yeah, absolutely.
And he also inflated his,
his actual rank, right?
He was slated to achieve a certain rank.
Right.
And how did it go?
Like, he had to commit to the fact
that he wasn't going to retire
in order to achieve his rank?
Is that what it was?
He didn't finish the,
essentially the program,
the coursework,
you know,
for a command sergeant major.
Can you explain how that works?
Well, I mean,
he had the,
he had the rank, right?
He was awarded,
I think he had gone to,
where did he go?
I think he went to Italy
on an assignment.
Look, he's,
so he's in the National Guard, right?
So, first of all,
there was sort of this,
I've served for 24 years,
or he's not really saying that
his supporters
and the people on the Democrat side
say, well,
he served for 24 years.
Yes, he did.
Okay.
But it's the National Guard.
And that doesn't mean,
I'm not disrespecting at all
anyone who serves
in the National Guard.
It's a very honorable thing to do.
I'm just saying,
they're kind of conflating
just like he did
with his rank
or these other things.
the idea that somehow
he was, you know,
over there for 24 years.
Full-time,
24 years in the military.
You know,
and he was working
as a school teacher,
as you pointed out,
he was working as a coach.
Look, the guy could be a great,
you know, who knows?
He could be a great guy.
I'm just saying that
there were statistics
that said upwards
of 70 plus percent of people
have padded their CVs.
So, what he's done
isn't unusual,
but it's very much,
you know, highlighted now.
It's like-
70%?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's a-
And look,
I've got a service line
in the company,
Portman Square Group.
I am a marketing machine.
Good job.
Thank you.
And, but we have
a due diligence group
that does nothing but,
right,
background investigations,
due diligence.
And so,
they spend a lot of time
looking at people's CVs
or resumes.
And it's a shocking number
of people.
And sometimes,
it's not really nefarious.
It's just,
okay,
maybe I misspoke
or maybe I did put something in
and I just,
I over-egged the pudding
a little bit.
But then,
like 10 or 15 years
down the road,
you've kind of ridden on that
for all that time.
And we've seen that happen
where people suddenly
get called out,
right?
Yes.
And so,
you know,
I don't read too much
into the fact
that he padded his resume.
I think it is
very disrespectful
that he didn't push back
on the idea
that he was overseas
deployed in combat
or that he claimed
that he retired
in a position.
I mean,
I think they gave him
a master sergeant title
or rank
when he retired,
which is just one step below.
Which is still honorable.
Very honorable.
And it's nothing
to be shameful of.
Like,
saying that,
just stating the actual rank,
it doesn't change
anybody's opinion
of him at all.
Yeah.
So,
you know,
it's a lie
that doesn't
really elevate you.
It doesn't,
and when you get
called out on it,
it just kind of
makes you look
like a dipshit,
right?
Like you,
and that's something
that he's got
to deal with now.
But he did once say,
he was talking
about assault rifles.
Assault,
air quotes,
assault rifles
for the gun nuts
out there.
I get it.
I'm on your side.
But when he was talking,
I mean,
you can kind of
assault somebody
with a BB gun,
right?
Yeah.
But when he was
talking about them,
he said,
the weapons of war
that I carried,
I don't know
the exact quote,
but it was essentially
alluding to the fact.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And again,
was it,
was,
is it,
I don't understand it.
Is it necessary?
No.
Did he feel
that it helped
in his early days
running for a political office?
Obviously.
Right.
Well,
he's also seen
Joe Biden
get away with it.
Right.
Joe Biden
has gotten away
with lying
about his record,
lying about
his accomplishments,
lie from the beginning
back when he was
running for Senate.
Right.
I mean,
I'm sure you've seen
that old video
where he confronts
the guy and tells him
he's got a higher IQ
than him
and how he graduated
at the top of his class.
Oh, yeah.
All lies.
Yeah.
No, absolutely.
And you're right.
He's gotten away with it.
Just like,
you know,
apparently the plagiarism
and other issues
and certainly now
the mental decline.
He's still president,
I guess.
He's kind of not.
He's kind of quit.
Who is in charge?
That's the question
I think a lot of people
are wondering.
Well,
Kamala's on tour,
so she can't beat
she's out there
doing concerts.
Oh,
she's going to do
an interview tomorrow night.
With Tim, though.
With Tim.
With Tim,
because she's a strong woman,
so she wants
a strong man by her side.
Yeah,
she does not want
to be alone out there.
No.
Which is wild.
You have to be alone.
Who the fuck
has ever done
an interview,
the only interview
since they have been
nominated by their party,
right?
Since they've been chosen.
Who has ever
not done an interview
for this long?
Yeah,
and then they,
I get why,
because they get away
with it.
Look,
they've got a very
compliant and
incurious media
for the most part,
right?
And they're just
letting it go.
Compliant.
It's more than compliant.
I know,
I'm trying to be
Yeah,
you're trying to be nice.
Yeah,
I'm trying to be nice.
Complicit
is a better word.
Yeah,
and so,
and it's on CNN
and it's taped.
It's not even live.
Right.
And it's the two of them
and there is no way in hell.
Maybe I'm goi
