Joe Rogan Podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan Experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
Hello, Patrick.
How you doing?
Very good.
Very nice to meet you.
I enjoy your program.
I appreciate it.
I watch it all the time.
Thank you.
I watch it all the time on YouTube.
Really?
Yeah, yeah, very good.
Very good at interviewing people.
I really enjoy your questions, the way you handle your interviews.
So I looked at a lot of your stuff and I was like, I want to talk to this guy.
Very cool.
I've been following you for a while and I listen to everything you talk about
pretty
much.
So I was telling you earlier how necessary you are.
You're pissing a lot of the right people off today, which is good.
I'm not trying.
I'm not trying to piss anybody off.
Just being me.
We're glad you are.
I know you're just being yourself, but we're glad you are.
Well, thank you very much.
I'm glad you are out there too.
The world needs strong voices, you know, people who have character and
discipline and people
who have carved their way through this life.
It's important.
It's an important thing for young people in particular to see coming up that
you can be
a person of character and discipline and you can get far in this business with
drive and
you can get far in life with drive in all businesses, really.
Do you think people can miss that?
Like, do you think people can, maybe that was valued 50 years ago, but not
today because
they're confused today?
You think that can happen?
I think people are still the same.
There's still the same characteristics that make up a human being still exists,
but there's
pathways for excuses that exist today that didn't exist before.
There's pathways for victimhood, there's like, you can have, there's credit in
victimhood,
social credit in, you know, well, I didn't get a break or I didn't get this or
these rich
people have that or these successful people have all the breaks.
And there's a lot of clout in actually being a person who has been either
denied or the pathways
are unavailable to them.
So they get to bitch about it and complain about it.
There's, there's a sense of, instead of dealing with the hand that you've
gotten and trying
to move forward in a positive way and trying to do your best with what you got,
because
everybody has a different starting point in life.
Life is not fair in terms of like, no question, no question, but some people
look at what they
got and they go, okay, this is what we got.
Let's figure out how we move forward.
And other people go, well, other people have this and I don't.
And then other people have that and fuck them.
We need to tax them and we need to do this.
And there shouldn't be any billionaires.
There shouldn't be any rich people.
We, you should, you can live off a $50,000 a year and then all that money would
feed everyone
and house everyone in the world.
And they don't understand motivation.
They don't understand, like there's this idea of equal outcome.
Like everyone should have an equal outcome, but there's not an idea of equal
effort.
Like equal effort is not a real thing.
Hasn't that been proven that doesn't work though?
Like that's been proven, experienced multiple places and we know it doesn't
work.
But it's still something that's being taught in universities.
It's, it's Marxism and like that kind of leftist thinking is very common in
universities.
And the idea is that it hasn't been done right.
And what you could say that would argue for that is like, well, democracy, you
know, I mean, obviously
the Greeks had democracy and the Romans had democracy, but it eventually fell
and turned
into a dictatorship.
Right.
But America was the first legitimate democracy that actually succeeded and
still exists currently.
Right.
This is, we were the first that like sort of got it right.
Maybe this could be the first socialist government that works.
Let by that noble leader.
Maybe these young people.
Yes.
Yes.
AOC or whoever it is.
She would be wonderful.
By the way, here's a question for you.
I'm curious to know what you say to this.
What are the chances that she'll be a president one day?
Very good.
Very high.
I agree.
Very high.
What's high?
20%?
Yes.
At least.
Okay.
Yeah.
At least 20%.
I'm with you.
She's very charismatic, very intelligent.
People love her.
Yeah.
She's, she's creating, she's got like what, 12, 13 million followers on Twitter.
Something like that.
And you figure in the next 10 years, it's probably going to be at a hundred
million, 150, 200 million.
And that mindset is going to be bought by the younger generation.
And gradually we get to a point where somebody is going to elect her.
And if an AOC gets elected, then what happens to us?
We'll find out.
Would that be a good thing or a bad thing?
Because we would actually be able to say maybe 80% taxes are not good.
Well, I don't think it would ever get to be 80% taxes because the people that
would get her into the position to be like, you're seeing compromises already,
right?
You're seeing compromises.
If you're a person that pays attention to politics, you already see that she's
sort of compromising her opposition to Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and the
people that are at the head of the party.
They've already sort of started corrupting and making deals like this hard line
leftism is tempered by this need to be a part of this very powerful political
party.
And that's kind of what happens, it seems, to every politician once they get
into office.
That's what happened to Obama, right?
Obama was the guy that we all thought was going to change the world.
Like here you have this guy, he is the son of a single mother.
He, you know, he comes from very humble beginnings.
Very relatable.
Likeable.
Super likable.
Super intelligent.
Very articulate.
And he has all this hope and change website.
And in the website speaks very specifically about empowering whistleblowers,
right?
Helping whistleblowers.
Meanwhile, when he gets into office, one of the worst administrations ever at
punishing whistleblowers.
I mean, that's, and then deletes that from the internet.
What caused that?
I think it's compromised once you get in there and you realize, first of all,
all these ideals that you had, if you really did have those ideals, if those
were real and they were not just political talking points that allowed people
to love him.
If you really did have those ideals, once you get in there and you find out, Mr.
President, have a seat.
We're going to tell you how fucked the world really is.
And they read to you all the things that are going on in the world, all the
different operations that are currently being underway.
You get to see all the threats from around the globe.
What do you think changes people more?
You think it's more a guy who grows up with, let's just say, not money, but he's
popular and he likes power.
And then eventually he has certain values and principles he lives by.
Then a guy with money comes and tries to buy him.
He's willing to flip.
Or a person who's left alone, they go make their money and they make their
independent money.
They're millionaires, decamillionaires, whatever, billionaires.
And then later on, a person comes in and says, I'm going to give you the most
powerful position out there, but I want you to change your way of thinking.
Which one do you think is more likely to change?
I don't know if that makes sense or not.
So, for example, think about Ronald Reagan.
Ronald Reagan or John F. Kennedy or a Lincoln, let's just say, or a Trump,
right?
One thing those, say the three have in common, I don't know about Lincoln, but
the three have in common, Reagan, John F. Kennedy, and Trump.
They all had money.
It's not like they were struggling with women or money, right?
Reagan, you know, Mary, Jane Wyman, John F. Kennedy.
I think at the end of the day, he was with, what, three or four women in his
lifetime, whatever the number is.
He's been around.
He's had his fun.
His father set the example.
He had a great time.
So, to him, what party has he not been invited to?
Or Trump, he did what he did.
Then he gets into a position of power.
Then the real power people behind closed doors, let's just say you and I don't
know about, the quiet power people.
They come in and say, Reagan, Trump, Kennedy, I want you to change the way of
thinking.
Don't push Federal Reserve too much.
Don't push, you know, gold standard too much.
Let's change.
Who's more tempted to change?
The power people or the money people?
I think it's, I don't think it's that.
You know what I'm asking, right?
I do, I know what you're asking, but I don't think it's that clean.
You know, I don't think there's like specific categories for human beings.
I think the variables are much more extreme.
I think there's, the spectrum is very broad.
And a guy like JFK clearly had some very strong opinions about positive changes
that he could make to this country.
Very dangerous opinions.
Like he wanted to get rid of the CIA.
He wanted to get rid of the NSA.
He wanted to get rid of the Federal Reserve.
There's a lot of things that JFK wanted to do that were very, very dangerous to
the powers that be.
What you would call, you know, the deep state.
You know, every year or every four years rather, there's a new president or at
least we elect a new president.
Or they have a chance to, you know, have a second term.
The people that are in power at the CIA, the FBI, all these places, they're in
power for a long time.
That's a long time of running.
No term limits for those guys.
Long time of running things.
Do we know who those guys are?
Do we kind of have an idea who those guys are?
I want to know.
Really?
It's like Baltimore.
You want to say the name, don't say Voldemort.
Don't say it.
But, you know, I don't know, man.
It's like I think you need intelligence agencies.
I think it's a controversial opinion, too.
I think you need people around the world that are monitoring terrorist cells,
that are paying attention to, you know, rogue states, that are paying attention
to dangerous places like China.
You need information.
You need intelligence agencies.
I'm not an anti-intelligence agency person.
I think people that are naive.
I think I have friends that have worked for the CIA and I've had long
conversations with them about what it's like in private.
There's dark shit in the world.
There's some terrible places in this world.
And you've got to pay attention to all that.
And you have to have contingency plans and you have to have preparation.
It's not my world, right?
That's their world.
I know there's a need for those people.
I talked to the former chief disguise officer.
She's the one that makes all the, Jonah Mendez.
Disguise officer?
Disguise officer.
Really?
Literally.
She goes and her job is to make your face identical to you.
She puts it on, comes up to you, says, oh my gosh, you look just like me.
That good?
So she did this to President Bush, the first one.
And she puts on the mask, goes up to him.
He cannot believe.
He thinks it's a human being looking just like him.
And then she takes off the mask.
She's the chief disguise officer.
President Bush W?
No, the senior.
Really?
Yes.
They were that good back then?
They were that good back then, right?
And there's a picture of it, actually.
If you pull it up, you'll see her holding it up.
Find that.
Yeah.
If you put chief disguise officer, Jonah Mendez, President Bush.
Yeah, that right there.
She's holding the mask and she was, yeah, masks of the lady and she's showing
it.
So they were able to make masks of anybody else.
And one day her and I are interviewing, I'm interviewing in D.C.
And I said, what makes a good CIA agent?
And I'll never forget what she said.
She said the craziest thing.
She says, look, I said, do you want the guy to be charming, charismatic?
What do you want it to be?
She says, we want him to be charming, charismatic, attractive, sense of humor,
all of that.
The only thing we don't want him to have is the following.
If they end up saving the free wo
