Joe Rogan Experience #1923 - Mike Baker

Joe Rogan podcast check it out the Joe Rogan experience train by day Joe Rogan
podcast by
night all day speak up for horseshit Jamie you're just gonna let them ban
bullshit that could be a
problem for bullshit I think you advocated your responsibility some bullshit's
fun and should
just be that's the bullshit yes some bullshit is fun like wrestling or whatever
yes but wrestling
doesn't cost people billions and billions of dollars when it doesn't go right
do you think
that that fucking guy who crashed FTX the Binance guy do you think he had any
idea that he was gonna
crash his business too because like collateral damage yeah I mean they're going
under he's lost
like 15 billion dollars over the last few days yeah probably I would say no he
didn't see it coming
but fucking duh fucking duh you just you basically showed everybody how
vulnerable this money on a hard
drive is this like weird I'm mining I'm mining for coin are you you're mining
no no no I'm just kidding
it's a wonderful idea no it's so profitable to mine it was either that or cobalt
and crypto seemed
easier so Jamie you were saying that people were mad first of all they're mad
at Peter Zion for mostly
that yeah for saying what seems to be the case is that a lot of crypto was just
horseshit the one
comment he made that I think that I would go against too is that it has no
intrinsic value because it
seems that like a lot of things have no intrinsic value right so well it doesn't
have a value unless
we agreed as a value and you can buy a lot of stuff with I mean Antonopoulos
doesn't he buy
everything like pieces everything with Bitcoin tons of stuff you could do with
it tons of stuff going on
with it it has uses yeah I don't know if they're all the uses everyone thought
they'd be by now or
what's going on with it because there's obviously a lot of confusion but then
people were mad at
you well just because I I he had to leave we had no right to catch so they were
mad that you didn't
grill him right so just let him stand up like on whatever no I thought they
were mad because you
invented crypto I don't know I wasn't sure where this is going imagine if that
was Satoshi that'll come
out later he's the main guy all this time all this time he's been hiding in
plain sight that's a
whole nother fun story too that we'll never know I don't think it's kind of
funny right it's
like him and Banksy they're like the best uh escape artists ever and we've
never seen them together it's
like Ringo Starr and Yasser Arafat you never saw them photograph together so I
think they look
different I think that's just one of them fun things to say before the internet
came around look
how old you are Ringo Starr Yasser Arafat everybody's like what the fuck is he
saying
Arafat that guy's dead oh he is dead he's yeah he's been dead and continues to
be dead Ringo's still alive
though right yes he's like the last of the Beatles is still alive other than
Paul McCartney yeah just
the two of them George Harrison and God bless him John Lennon well that is
pretty close see what am
I talking about look at that that's not bad I was not making that shit up yeah
yeah damn and never
ever for that's a side-by-side comparing two photos but they were never
photographed in the same room
we still to this day don't know imagine if you were a rock star but you were
also a dictator I mean
has any dictator ever tried to become like if anybody could pull that off maybe
the Sultan of Brunei or
a terrorist right right right that's great cover to travel around the world as
a rock star and also
be a terrorist yeah or a spy has there ever isn't is that a movie there was
about what's his name the
catcher not Yogi Berra the baseball guy who was a travel as a spy I'm thinking
of that movie that was
based around the guy from the no no no no no no no the spy the guy from the gong
show oh yeah Chuck
Barry Chuck Barry not remember there's like Chuck Barry or Chuck Barris Chuck
Barris Barris Barry is the
musicians Barris is the guy from the gong show there was that they did not look
like confessions of a
dangerous mind yeah that was a fun movie man it was a good movie who played
Chuck Berris I forget he
was great I you know I'm old enough to remember the gong show he was so fun
yeah they got it's when
someone's having fun when someone has like a perpetual smile it's just it's an
enjoyable
thing to watch Sam Rockwell Sam Rockwell that's right that's fucking great that
guy's great but
that show yeah you know it was like watching a Dean Martin concert every time
you tuned in the gong
show you just knew Chuck was half of the bag right yeah he was having a
fantastic time Jamie Farr was
going to be one of the panelists yep yeah yeah Jamie Farr used to be my
neighbor no yeah my actual
neighbor lived right next door to me it's super nice guy oh yeah it's a fucking
weirded me out
besides that guy's famous mash in the gong show I can't name one thing that
Jamie Farr was in I don't
think he did anything else didn't he played golf yeah I think he made his money
off of mash and the
gong show and just played golf cannonball run was he in that yeah both of them
wait a minute hmm
interesting I mean it's got his the poster comes up when I googled his name
well happy new year happy
new year yeah so uh I was reading Fox News today because uh my friend Sean told
me they were gonna get
rid of the IRS I was like what no what is happening no he's like yeah they're
trying to get rid of the IRS I'm like what
so I go to Fox News and uh they were saying that they're trying to overhaul the
tax system and make it a
consumption-based tax and there's these uh the the answer to the squad on the
right side is what do they call
themselves the Patriot 20 or some shit oh the uh Freedom Forum or the I think
it's the Freedom Caucus
or the Freedom Forum or something like that um yeah it's gotta it's gotta
involve freedom of some sort
it's that's of course you gotta choose one from column A and then you gotta go
like a caucus or forum right
Patriot Act yeah no they're not getting rid of the IRS all those all those
folks who might have gotten
excited about that that's never gonna happen they've uh they've moved to defund
you know that 87,000
agents yeah that seemed like a problem that hiring 87,000 new people I don't
understand I you know I
have an accountant that handles all my shit I don't pay attention to that stuff
but what I do know is
that there was a lot of people saying that they weren't going to go after
corporations with that
they're going to go after like you know middle class people that maybe skimped
a little here or there
and find them hard yeah they're going after small to medium-sized businesses I
mean that's the popular
narrative was we're going to hire 87,000 more now look does the IRS uh do they
need to update their
computer systems right well well yeah sure yeah it's the government right every
computer system
in the government needs to be updated to protect from cyber security problems
but do they need 87,000
more agents no but the narrative was from the from the Biden administration was
you know we're going
to go after the ultra wealthy no fucking no you know what they they've got 87,000
agents think about how
many additional personnel that is in each state right in each region for the
IRS they're not going to be
occupied with with wealthy people all over the place now a wealthy audit can be
complex but they're coming
after small medium-sized businesses and that's how they you know they imagined
the amount of money they were
going to have on this land grab to help fund other things that they're doing
whether it's climate change
or other policies that they want to push forward great but the problem is
congress now under republican
control sure they can they can say no we're going to stop that in its tracks
only until they march it
across to the senate and the senate says fuck you no so we're still going to
have 87,000 new agents
that's not going to change yeah that's not you can't get that through senate
and and even if they did
you know the president would probably veto it so we're looking we're staring
down a barrel at a
couple of years of of that sort of activity where congress will will vote to do
something it'll be
stopped in the senate uh or it'll be you know uh vetoed by the president's desk
and fun yeah it'll be
lots of fun it's going to be a great time lots of horse shit and fun what did
you think about uh
biden getting busted with uh classified documents ah kind of hilarious it is it
is one of those funny
moments right you know regardless of uh a a i don't think they're gonna uh they're
not gonna knock
down the doors at the university of pennsylvania where they found these things
right at some think
tank that they'd set up um and so that's not going to happen but it is kind of
fun to to look at and
think oh really but the the truth is it happens with every administration right
document control
isn't that difficult right you should be able to know which documents are
secret put them in a box
over here top secret over here and then special code word put them over here
and you account for all
those documents that's the way that you do it but it seems like every
administration has this problem
uh what do they do at the think tanks oh they well there's a lot of ruminating
there's a ton of ruminating and what's nearly 10 documents almost 10. it's
seven yeah one was
incomplete one they hadn't finished yet what does that mean yeah nearly nearly
ten oh yeah if you say
nearly a million i'll go wow that's uh pretty impressive you say nearly ten i'm
like can you count
tell me the number you heads penn biden center for diplomacy and global
engagement
so what happens there what happens in one of these things tanks is it just a
way where people get
money yes yes people you know people said yes so quick yeah that's it that's it
you know people people
get grants you know or they get a position there they get the chair to sit for
a year and and study
some particular you know uh esoteric aspect of whatever the hell it may be
global how much money goes
there well that's you know some of these get a great deal of funding and in the
actually that's an
interesting point because sometimes the funding comes from unusual sources like
perhaps the chinese
really yeah that might be the soonest i've ever brought up china really one of
our conversations so
the chinese might be funding a think tank that has classified documents in it
oh sure yeah i mean i don't
again i don't know i don't know but it's not outside the realm of possibility
it's not outside the realm of
possibility and and you know it'd be interesting to know who or where funding
has come from for the
penn biden center maybe you're talking about that ah oh 54 million dollars in
chinese gifts gifts donated to
upenn home of the biden center what the wow 54 million dollars in gifts it's
just like you know yo-yos and
shit xboxes beer koozies what the fuck are they giving them raked in a total of
54.6 million from 2014
through 2019 wow so 10 million dollars a year look at donations anonymous gifts
23 million from oh anonymous
23 million dollars in anonymous that to me is more interesting than the fact
that he had almost 10
documents there because again every administration does it would have been
amazing if biden hadn't had
classified documents sitting somewhere uh president obama had the same issue at
every administration
just because again it's it's this it's this goat rope upon uh exiting and and
then before the new
administration comes in right it's just like this funhouse of activity trying
to box up all your
shit and get it and so that in itself is not a surprise it's a surprise that
you know with trump
they decided to you know use a sledgehammer to go into mar-a-lago but that's
not going to happen with
biden um and it is it's you know it's it's it's an interesting comparison but
the republicans thought
it was an aha moment i don't think they're going to
