- The Joe Rogan Experience.
- Our communities, it's all over the place on YouTube,
but because of this current pandemic,
they feel like there's this heightened sense
of responsibility that they have to control the narrative.
And that's very disturbing to me.
And what's even more disturbing to me is how people,
when they agree with that narrative,
don't understand where this all goes,
and they're agreeing with that censorship.
They're like, yes, censor those people,
get rid of those voices, de-platform people
that I disagree with.
And they don't understand where this goes.
It's like where people are saying,
the people that have been vaccinated,
that want a vaccine passport,
yes, we should have a vaccine passport.
I've been vaccinated.
That's not gonna, it's only gonna help me.
I did my part.
I took one for the team and I went out and got vaccinated
to be a good citizen.
Those people who didn't, fuck them.
We should have a vaccine passport.
- That makes zero sense.
- But here's the problem with it.
The vaccine passport, it doesn't end there.
It's gonna keep going.
And it's gonna lead to some sort of a social system.
You're gonna have a social credit system,
similar to what they have in China.
- You think it'll happen in our lifetime?
- 100%.
- You're saying 100%?
- 100% it can happen in our lifetime.
- Are you okay with that?
- No.
- Okay, so then my-
- 100% can happen in our lifetime
'cause people will step with it.
They will go, as long as it benefits them,
and as long as it aligns with their ideology,
they will ignore the dangers of a social credit system,
and they will embrace it.
If, I would never thought people would be,
look, six months ago, the White House was saying,
"There's no way we would ever use
"some sort of a vaccine mandate."
There's no way.
- Oh no, but Kamala said,
"I would never take the vaccine that Trump's coming."
- So did Biden.
- Yeah, both of them said that, yeah.
- Yeah, they both did.
But then, once they got into office,
six months ago, they said,
"We would never use a mandate.
"We would never try to force businesses or people
"to be vaccinated."
Now they are saying that.
Now they want you to do that.
Did you see that video where they're talking about,
Biden's talking about the hurricane?
- No.
- Have you seen this?
- No.
- Have you seen that, Jamie?
Here, I'll say the one where the kid's laughing.
Here, I'll send you this one,
because this is the funniest one.
Because these guys were watching them say this,
and as these guys are watching them say this,
it's just funny.
Here, I'm gonna send you this.
Hold on, give me one second.
It's--
- Hurricane Biden.
- He's telling them they should get vaccinated
before the hurricane comes.
- It's obviously a joke, right?
- No, it's not a joke.
He's being dead serious.
But you gotta watch this.
I just said it to you, Jamie.
Let's watch it on the screen.
We'll have a nice laugh.
Because it's not that you shouldn't get vaccinated.
That's not what I'm saying.
It's just like, the narrative is so overwhelming
that it applies to everything now.
It applies to the fucking hurricane.
Play this, give me some volume.
- In a state where hurricanes often strike--
- These two guys.
- Like Florida, or the Gulf Coast, or into Texas,
a vital part of preparing for hurricane season
is to get vaccinated now.
Everything is more complicated
if you're not vaccinated in a hurricane,
or a natural disaster hits.
- Dude, how the hell does that make any sense, though?
- Okay.
So, so--
- People are just stepping in line.
They're stepping in line.
- You're not saying don't take the vaccine.
That's not what you're saying.
- No, I think a lot of people should take the vaccine.
- Okay, so I got a story for you here from my personal end.
My dad is 79 years old.
Okay?
Conversation came about the vaccine.
He said, "Are you taking it?"
I said, "I'm not taking it."
I was in the army.
I had, in the army on the first day of going into the army,
they give you 11 air shots.
When you go and psst, psst, psst, psst, psst,
and you just go through it.
Literally, you walk--
- 11 shots in one day?
- 11 shots in one day, back to back to back.
And you say, "Don't move."
If you move a little bit, get a scar.
I mean, I'll never forget this.
I was 18 years old.
So I've had plenty of vaccine in myself.
It's probably why I'm a little bit off.
But, so my dad, okay, he says, "Should I get the vaccine?"
I said, "Dad, it's up to you.
What do you want to do?"
He says, "Pat, you know, I'm 70 some years old."
I said, "Dad, if you're 79, do what you want to do.
"I want to get the vaccine."
He said, "Well, I got the vaccine."
Great.
I didn't get the vaccine, I got COVID.
So he ends up getting the vaccine,
and two weeks ago, he just got his negative,
back from COVID.
He got positive, and he got pneumonia.
My dad at 79, and he is okay.
He's done, he's scored away,
he has nothing to worry about today.
Would it have been different if he didn't have the vaccine?
I don't know, okay?
- Most likely it would've been.
- Most likely it would've been.
So I think it made sense that he took the vaccine
and it benefited him.
A friend of mine, younger than in my 20 years,
in great shape, didn't take the shot.
He got vaccine, he got COVID, and had pneumonia,
was in a hospital for four weeks.
Literally he was hospitalized, right?
For myself, I didn't take the vaccine.
There's a few reasons why I haven't taken a vaccine yet.
It's my only reason why I haven't taken a vaccine yet,
but the biggest challenge for me is the conversation
of being forced to take the vaccine.
So Nicki Minaj, I'm sure you're kind of following the story
with what's going on with Nicki Minaj.
- Her cousin's testicles.
- Her cousin's testicles, yeah.
And Trinidad and people are saying,
"Are you kidding me about these testicles?"
So whether these testicles are just massive
or something happened to them,
or it was because of the vaccine,
let's set that aside with the testicles.
- I've never heard of testicles swelling as a side effect.
- I haven't either.
I've heard of other things,
but not because of the vaccine.
So, okay, so that's that part.
All right, so she goes up there and she says,
"I don't want to take it."
On her live, Joe, you gotta listen to her live.
It's so funny because she puts the camera
and the camera's at the ceiling.
You never see her face. - And she's just talking.
- You're just talking, it's alive, right?
And she says, "Let me get this straight,"
because she put it out on Twitter
that I got a call from the White House
to go and have a meeting at the White House
with the health secretary
and what do you call it, with Fauci, right?
Meeting with Fauci.
And she said, "I would like to come,
but I would like it to be live."
Instead of me traveling,
I'd much rather not travel, let's do a live.
And they say, "Yeah, we don't mind doing a live,
we just don't want it to be recorded."
She says, "No, I want it to be recorded
because I want my audience to see
whether this is, you know,
so I'm honest with the audience."
They said, "Well, let us think about it."
She has her PR rep on it
and her agent on the call,
so it's not like she's by herself.
Then the White House comes back and says,
"No, we never told you
that you're going to be doing this live," right?
'Cause she tweeted us
and I got a call from White House.
And she says, "Why can't I have the choice
to not do it?
Why can't I not have the choice?"
The biggest contradiction for me-
- To not do the vaccine?
- I don't want to take the vaccine.
They're forcing her to do it
and you heard a couple of the folks from,
I don't know what it was,
when they came out and they said,
who was the lady that we were talking about?
She said, "I got two million followers, girl.
I'm not at your level with 22 million followers on Twitter."
"You know, you can do better, girl.
You ought to be ashamed of yourself for doing this
because now people are not taking a vaccine."
- Who said that to her?
- Who's Joy, what's her name?
- Oh, Joy Ann Reed.
- Yeah, I think that's who it was.
And so she comes back and she says,
"Just because I don't want to do it,
I don't want to do it.
So why do I have to do it?"
I may end up doing it because I have to go on tour
and I have to do this part.
But if you're going to a point, Joe, yourself,
where you're talking about 100% this is gonna happen
in our generation, then I ask you,
are you okay with that?
- Yeah, I didn't say 100% it's going to happen.
I said 100% it could happen,
that we have a social credit score in this country.
The same people that are accepting a vaccine passport,
my position is I do not believe,
once the government has the ability to control your movement,
what you do and when you do it,
if they can put limitations on your freedom,
and that is what it is,
that it makes it easier to control people.
Once they do that, I do not believe they're gonna leave it
at a vaccine passport.
- I agree with you.
- I think they're going to expand it.
And I think the next logical move
is some sort of a social credit score.
And you will look at a bunch of things.
Have you paid your taxes?
Are you in debt?
Do you owe money on your credit cards?
Are you in default of loans?
Have you been vaccinated?
Have you voted?
And all those things--
- And who you voted for.
- Well, that would be problematic,
but all those things could be designed
into a social credit program.
- Yeah.
- Where you could see in a person
who has poor social credit,
a person who's been to jail for armed robbery,
a person who owes taxes,
that person would have a lower credit score,
and they wouldn't be allowed into certain buildings.
- Why is this a bad thing?
- It's 'cause it's control.
- Okay.
- It's having the ability to tell people
what they can and can't do.
- Sure.
- Having the government, if you're a free person,
- Yeah.
- I mean, you've made mistakes,
or you're trying to do better in your life,
but you've had some horrible scenarios in your past,
you're supposed to be free to try to navigate
and do better in your life.
If you're restricted, and very clearly restricted,
by a set of parameters that's decided by other people,
that doesn't have to do with law.
Like, it's not like you need to be locked up
'cause you're a criminal.
You have a social credit score
like they're implementing in China.
What it does is it keeps people scared,
and it keeps people in line,
and it's a fantastic way to control the population.
And that's what it's used for.
- Should we do something about it?
- I think talking about it is a good thing.
I think talking about it,
like we're talking about allowing people to recognize
that this is something that could potentially happen.
- You think there's a next step?
- The vaccine passport just six months ago
was conspiracy theory nonsense.
Like people were like, "What the fuck are you talking about?
You're not gonna have a vaccine passport."
No one was accepting the fact that this was real.
This is stuff that Alex Jones talked about,
but now, it's a real thing.
- LA and New York, yeah.
- Yeah, it's a real, is LA now?
- Oh yeah, they just announced it three days ago.
- Right after Newsom won the election?
- Right after Newsom they announced it the next day.
- God damn. - That's right.
The next day they announced it.
- How clever.
