- The Joe Rogan Experience.
- And this is the same guy that just passed
this fucking law in New York City
where you have to have a vaccine passport to go everywhere.
You have to have a vaccine to go to a restaurant,
to a gym, to any place where people gather.
It is crazy.
And meanwhile, the biggest percentage of people
that don't have vaccines or have been vaccinated
are people of color.
So this guy, people of color and immigrants,
he's always supposed to be pro people of color,
pro-diversity, pro-immigration.
Those are the people that don't have vaccines
and now you're precluding them from going to gyms
and restaurants.
And what about the people working in the restaurants?
What about all these?
It's fucking madness.
And then you have a bunch of people that are supporting it.
Like yay, finally.
Meanwhile, you have science that's coming out.
There's legitimate articles.
Jamie, I'll send this to you now.
There's legitimate articles.
Doctors have been sending me these things.
And this is neither pro nor con vaccine.
I'm not, this is not a judgment statement.
But imperfect vaccination can enhance the transmission
of highly virulent pathogens.
Right.
So this is a scientific paper from 2015 that shows that if, here's what
important quote,
vaccines that keep the host alive but still allow transmission can thus allow
virulent strains
to circulate in a population.
So vaccines that don't kill the virus, vaccines that allow people, like this is
one of the things
we're finding out about what they're calling breakthrough cases.
Right.
So people who are vaccinated can still get COVID and they can still transmit
COVID.
This recently happened at the comedy store.
A vaccinated comedian gave COVID to like 12 different fucking people at the
comedy store.
Some of them vaccinated, some of them not.
That situation where the vaccine just kind of protects you from serious damage,
but it protects
you from really being like badly hospitalized or death, but doesn't stop you
from getting
the virus can possibly lead to more potent viruses.
So these people that are saying, oh, it's these unvaccinated people that are
responsible for
the variants.
Well, there's actually scientific papers that point to the very sort of
environment that we're
creating by having so many people vaccinated with a vaccine that doesn't kill
off the virus.
It actually can lead to more potent viruses.
Try finding that story anywhere.
Other than doctors, I'm getting PhDs sending me these things, guys who won't
speak about it
publicly because they're worried about the blowback.
People who are physicians, people who are even epidemiologists, even people
that deal with
diseases and viruses, they're concerned and they don't want to talk about it
publicly because
people call them anti-vaxxers.
It's really wild out there.
It's wild because they've somehow managed, and when I say they, meaning the
political elite,
and then I think they're established media representatives, have somehow
managed to turn this into a political
issue, right?
And that's dangerous, right?
It's dangerous for any politician to play in that game where they're using
something as
meaningful and quite possibly dangerous for the country as political posturing
or virtue signaling,
right?
I see it all the time because you see these guys are wearing their masks for
the camera,
but then they take them off or-
AOC just got busted doing that yesterday.
You see the video?
Yeah, of course.
She had no mask on, hanging out with everybody, and then they go to take a
picture, she puts
the mask on and then takes it off after the picture's done.
Yeah, or they can have parties, you know, what is it?
You know-
How about Obama?
Yeah, Obama's having that 700 guest party or whatever it is.
Or he's going to tone it down to 600.
Yeah.
Because of the pandemic.
Yeah.
It's going to make it a little lighter.
But you can't go to a gym in New York.
Right.
Unless you have a vaccination card.
Right.
Or you can't go out to eat.
Or you can't go to a comedy club.
We're going to shut down small businesses.
You can't go to a comedy club.
I think it's rules for the and not for me scenario, and people read right
through that
shit.
Some people.
Some people.
I think even-
Some people are applauding it.
Which is fucking terrifying.
I know smart people that are applauding it.
It's so strange.
And the problem with applauding vaccine passports, this is part of the problem.
They are not going to give that power up.
No.
They're not going to.
They're going to find a reason to continue to use that.
If they can figure out a way to force you into carrying papers, into carrying
something that
lets you enter businesses or lets you do this or lets businesses open, as soon
as you give
politicians power, any kind of power that didn't exist previously, historically,
they don't
relinquish that power.
They find new reasons to use it.
Well, I think that's the history of lawmaking and political power in the United
States.
And I think that's why I tend to be bucketed in conservatives.
Because it means smaller government to me, right?
There's multiple reasons why people classify themselves as that.
But I look at things, and I look at the preservation of individual liberty.
How do I preserve more of my freedom?
Because I feel like I'm a responsible adult, and I feel like I'm going to raise
responsible
adults.
And I feel like I spend most of my time around responsible adults.
I don't...
It's such a disconnect in individual philosophy when I find people that are
actively looking
for ways that they can forfeit their individual liberty and hand it over to
somebody where they
feel like they have a better interest in running their life than they do.
And I understand the balance between we have to have certain laws and
regulations that protect
people against overt dangers.
But I also understand your statement where I think politicians and I would say
lawmakers and
government bureaucrats have a really hard time relinquishing control once they
have it.
It makes their job easier.
Because it feels good.
Yeah.
It makes their job easier.
They can just tell you to shut the fuck up.
Mm-hmm.
Do what I say.
And you have to.
You know, you can't work anymore unless you do what I say.
That's essentially what a vaccine passport is.
Right.
You can't do what you want to do unless you do what I want you to do.
I mean, Don Lemon was talking about that openly on CNN.
Yeah.
Don't have a vaccine?
Can't go to a supermarket.
Don't have a vaccine?
Can't go to work.
It's so strange that people want to say things like that.
Like, that's the thing that blows me away.
Why do people want to-
Because they're dumb.
They're dumb.
They're dumb.
They don't understand history.
They don't understand human beings.
They don't understand human nature.
They don't understand the history of every single country that's ever existed
other than
the United States.
Up until 1776, every fucking country that has ever existed was run by dictators.
Right.
All of them.
This is the first one where you had elected officials.
This is the first experiment in self-government that actually worked.
And it created the greatest superpower the world's ever known.
It created the greatest cultural machine.
The greatest machine of art and creativity and innovation.
Right fucking here.
And how did it do that?
It did it through freedom.
Because when you give people freedom, you let people do whatever the fuck they
want to
do, they actually find ways to succeed and grow and thrive.
But as soon as you put the boots to them.
As soon as you tell them, you have to do this or you can't do that.
You have to listen to me.
Now you have a mini dictator.
Right.
You have one step away from a king.
You have one step closer.
You're moving one step closer to dictatorship.
That's what the fuck is happening.
That's what's going to happen with a vaccine passport.
That's what's going to happen if they close borders.
You can't enter New York City unless you have your papers.
You can't go to here unless you have that.
You can't get on a plane unless you do what I say.
And people say, "Whoa, it's all about protecting people from the..."
No, it's not.
It's not because we've shown this is a fact.
Just a couple of months ago, the idea of a breakthrough case was unheard of.
Nobody heard of anybody catching COVID that had a vaccine, right?
Right.
That was the whole idea.
You get a vaccine, you don't have to worry about it.
Now we know not only do you get it, but you can spread it.
And some people have died.
Apparently, it's a small number.
I don't know what the numbers are, but I know that most people who get
vaccinated,
when they do have the disease, they have a better time of it than the people
who are unvaccinated.
But where are the people out there calling for people to get healthy?
Where are the people out there calling for people to lose weight?
78% of the people in the ICU for COVID are obese.
78%.
Where is that information being shared?
Where's someone who's a leader who gets on TV and says,
"Ladies and gentlemen, we've got to decrease our body mass.
We've got to decrease our fat.
We've got to make sure that people aren't overweight.
We've got to make sure that people are healthy."
Walk around your block.
You don't have to do something complicated.
Start drinking more water.
Stop eating sugar.
Start taking vitamins.
You can increase the strength of your immune system.
We can fight things off better.
We can be a healthier civilization.
Better for everybody, right?
Yeah.
You can't hear a peep.
All you hear is, "Take this vaccine that doesn't even prevent you from getting
the disease."
Or you can't go to the sauna or wherever the fuck you want to go.
You can't go to the Broadway show.
It's madness.
It's madness.
It really is madness.
Because if it was a vaccine, it's more of a treatment than it is a vaccine,
really, if you look at it.
Because you're saying you need a booster now every six months.
Look, if you get vaccinated for polio, you get vaccinated for the measles, you
don't have to worry about it anymore.
You're good.
This is not that.
This is a totally different kind of thing.
And it's a completely new kind of vaccine.
The idea that people shouldn't be skeptical or nervous about that is kind of
hilarious.
Well, it's kind of hilarious that people won't try on skepticism in general.
Like, they need to be more skeptical.
They need to push people in authority and power and hold them accountable for
their words and their actions.
And there's this reluctancy, I think, across the board to question power either
on both sides.
Right?
So it's like the blue likes to question red.
Red likes to question.
Right.
Now you'll follow lockstep in party line if one is saying something or the
other.
Yes.
That's a fucking problem.
To your point, I was reading the history of the Nez Perce Indian tribe.
I've read a few books on this just recently.
I'm from Northern Idaho where the Nez Perce Indian tribe.
Ferocious people.
Amazing.
Amazing warriors.
Amazing.
Chief Joseph was an incredible leader.
Incredible history.
Yeah.
But it struck me.
There's one chapter in the books that I was reading about how the US cavalry,
they were putting
the Native Americans on reservations for their protection.
And I'm not trying to equate this in direct correlation.
But this was part of the narrative because they were saying, we want to put you
guys on reservations
to protect you from the settlers and from retaliation.
So we want to put you guys on this 400 square reservation, 400 mile square
reservation for your protection.
And they're like, dude, we want to be free.
I don't know what you're talking about.
And they go in and they trace the over 1,000 miles that Chief Joseph led his
tribe through
Idaho and Montana and then up close to the Canadian border.
But I couldn't help but think about there's one sliver of history in the late
1800s, which
in 1873, I believe it was, which was also connected to the son of Meriwether
Lewis was also part
of the Nez Percianian tribe because he had a son there.
But I thought about how us, not us as a country, how we need to be pushed to
ask more questions
and we deserve more answers.
And we have to hold skepticism, I think, in a very high regard.
And we can't beat it down.
I think any time that you question authority, it's a good thing, especially as
a society, because it also says that you have a healthy society.
If you have this complex narrative moving up from underneath, I think, the
groundswell of information from people, you can have these complex discussions,
but you also have to have very good answers to what's going on.
I think you've got conflicting information that's being politicized and it's
being gaslit by both sides of the media, which I don't blame people for being
pissed off and confused because, man, I'm confused.
Yeah.
Like, this is confusing as shit.
The CDC releases something, the president will say something else, some random
governor somewhere that I've never heard of will say something else.
And you're like, what the hell is going on?
What is going on?
Yeah.
That's why I listen to Crystal and Sagar because they typically know what's
going on.
Yeah.
Well, they typically know what's going on and they're a great example because
that show Breaking Points, you've got Sagar who's on the right and Crystal who's
on the left, but they're good friends.
They're good.
They get along well and they're both super honest and objective, rational and
intelligent, and they can discuss all the finer points of these issues,
honestly, openly.
And it's why they're thriving.
Yeah.
It's why CNN, like some of their shows, they get 100,000 views in the key
demographic, less than 100,000 even.
That's crazy.
Since Trump is out of office and they don't have a boogeyman, their boogeyman
is unvaccinated people.
That's what they're doing.
Their boogeyman is different things that they can attack.
