- The Joe Rogan Experience.
- This is something, a lesson we never learned in history,
that we really should have.
But in World War I, Woodrow Wilson said
he was gonna make the world safe for democracy.
That was the American mission in World War I.
And at the time, the world certainly
was not safe for democracy.
I mean, Europe was all monarchs, pretty much.
And we overthrew the monarchs.
The monarchies pretty much lost.
And the ones that are still there are like,
monarchies in name only, you know, England,
and stuff like that.
And then in the next decades,
you had the rise of Hitler, Lenin, and then Stalin.
And you're like, oh man, those monarchs
don't seem so bad all of a sudden now, you know?
Like, oh shit.
It turns out you could get rid of something
and something much worse can come after it.
- You need a full-length plan.
- But for Obama, who even goes, you know,
I think he acknowledged at one point
that Libya was his biggest mistake.
And he said not having a plan for the day
after Gaddafi was overthrown
was a big mistake.
And it's like, yeah, I sure wish we had just lived
through Iraq.
Like, how could you not see that coming?
How could you not be like, oh yeah.
And then after that, still tried to overthrow Assad in Syria.
And you're like, wait, so you don't see this?
- Do you remember when they gave that speech,
when he gave a speech on television,
and everybody was like, fuck this?
- Mm-hmm.
- And then they were...
And it kinda just went away.
- It was one of the most beautiful moments
in modern American history.
People really actually stood up
and stopped a war from happening.
- Yeah. - So instead, they just covertly funded
the Al-Qaeda side of it.
And I think Dore broke this down
when he was on your show perfectly.
- Yes. - You know, there's those guys
who go like, they tell the story of Syria,
and it's like the, you know, Mike Baker, who I love,
but his version of the story in Syria is like,
"Well, Assad started killing all of his own people,
"and so what are we gonna do?"
You know, like, that's the story
that they wanna tell you, right?
It's like, "Well, this guy's just so bad,
"he's killing all these people."
You go, so why... - Is that really
what Mike Baker's version of it was?
It wasn't that. - It's a caricature of it,
but that's more or less it, right?
I love Mike Baker, by the way.
- I do too.
- But the real story is that you go,
"Okay, so if we're there,
"if the narrative is that we're there
"because Assad's killing his own people,
"and oh my God, I think he used a gas attack,
"or oh my God, I think he did this,
"and this is really dangerous."
Well, then why is it that General Wesley Clark
is telling us on video that he saw plans
to have regime change in Syria in 2003.
- Yeah, that was a dark video.
- Why are there articles in 2007 about regime change?
'Cause he certainly wasn't killing his own people then,
and then as Jimmy Dore broke down perfectly,
you realize that actually what happened
was that the CIA and the Saudis
launched this Operation Timber Sycamore,
and they said that we are going to arm
all of the anti-Assad rebels,
largely consisting of Al Qaeda and ISIS,
in an attempt to take him out,
to have the next regime change,
that this plan had been in the works for years.
And when confronted with that threat,
Assad launched a brutal war against them,
certainly killed a whole lot of people.
I mean, like, if there was ISIS in a town,
he'd just kill everybody in the town.
Like, he didn't care.
But the story's not as simple as like,
"Oh, he started killing his own people,
"and so now we have to overthrow him."
The story is we tried to overthrow him,
and in response this war broke out,
where something like 500,000 people died.
- Was Wesley Clark, was he running for president
when that happened?
- I, if I'm not mistaken, I believe he ran before.
I could be wrong about that.
I think, was he one of the Democratic candidates in 2000?
I believe, so I believe this was after all that.
- That was a dark video,
when you saw him laying out the foundation that they had,
and the fact that he was willing to do that,
and say it all in an interview on television.
- Yeah, no, it was really, really creepy.
And it's very hard to not look back at that,
and go like, okay, well, not all of it came true exactly,
but certainly there has been an agenda since 9/11,
to have one regime change after the next in the Middle East.
It wasn't just, oh, we have to go to Afghanistan,
and oh, we also have to go to Iraq,
'cause we think they have WMDs or something.
It's like, well, why then have there been
these five subsequent countries
that we also have to go and overthrow?
And no one ever, with the exception of Wesley Clark,
no politician ever told the American people,
hey, here's what our plan is.
This is what we wanna do.
Do you guys agree with this, or do you not agree with this?
You have no say in this.
We're doing this, and each time we're gonna claim
that it's completely just like, oh, the humanitarian impulse,
the people there.
- Yeah, the difference between what's happening now
and in the past is, first of all,
there's so much video, right,
where you could see a guy like Wesley Clark talk about that,
but also that you can see video
of the events actually happening.
Like, we have video of Saddam Hussein being hung.
We have video of Gaddafi being captured by those rebels
where they stick a knife up his ass.
That video is, that is one of the most bizarre videos,
Gaddafi in shock, not even responding to the fact
that someone just stuck a knife up his ass.
Like, so just completely gripped with terror,
knowing that this is the end and that the rebels have captured,
and they're all screaming and yelling and fucking going crazy.
- Well, that's right, and what's happened is that
the corporate press has lost their monopoly on information
that they had for all of our lives.
- Right.
- Like, now it's like, well, you can get it
from all these places, and there's good and bad
that comes with that, but they're also now flipping out,
and you can see it, like, they're losing their grip on power
and becoming more and more insane about it.
- Well, they've lost the ethics of journalism.
Like, this James O'Keefe thing on CNN where that guy who worked,
was he the chief, whatever he is?
- Yeah, I forget his position, but a big,
he was a pretty big CNN guy.
- And the crazy thing is they catch him on Tinder dates.
So they, they, it gets, she must have been hot.
Hot girls will get you to talk.
So he's got this hot girl and he's telling her
how they do propaganda, how they basically would accentuate
anything that was wrong with Trump.
They would talk about, they completely underplay
anything that's wrong with Biden.
- Which is, which is, to be fair, pretty obvious.
- Yeah.
- To anyone who just has an open mind and watches CNN.
But to hear him say it, still was, it was powerful.
- And the fact that he said they're gonna do it now
for climate change, it's like, wow.
- And that push is already starting.
- Yeah.
- Can you imagine just like, if you were like the head of CNN,
and you have to give a meeting in the morning,
and you're like, all right, so one more time, guys.
If a hot chick takes you out to a bar,
and starts asking you to tell her about how we're propaganda,
that's James O'Keefe, all right?
So please, please don't just start babbling
about how we do propaganda.
- It's so crazy.
It's just, it's so weird to see it laid out like that.
Where, you know, he's explaining how they do it.
But what a blabbermouth.
The fact that this guy, like, you know,
hey, man, this is kind of important.
Like, imagine if someone heard you say this.
- Yeah.
- Imagine what kind of repercussions
it would have on the business.
