Joe Rogan Experience #767 - Mike Baker

yes and we're live Mike Baker how are you sir I'm doing very well thank you
very happy for coming
back man appreciate it good to see you this world's in chaos we need to talk to
a rational
man like yourself who's got the inside scoop I have never been billed that way
before but thank
you that's a bonus in this irrational world your rationality you're what's
deemed a rational man
yeah that's it we've been lowering the bar lowering our expectations we were
talking before the show
started about the current cover of The Economist that has Donald Trump dressed
up like his uncle
Sam and it just says really it's it's perfect you know and it's what you want
to say to everybody
who has jumped that chasm right I understand that everybody's upset people are
angry people for
whatever their motivation right so they're you know they get Jones up this is
it look at that fucking
cover this is what we're down to that's brilliant but how do you get how do you
get from okay he's
entertaining and I understand that everybody wants to be entertained to some
degree but how do you get
to the point from saying it's entertaining to leader of the free world and that's
the part that I can't
understand when I talk to people who are absolutely supporting him well you as
a man who's been deep in
the world of security or CIA operative you you've got the inside scoop would
how this machine runs to a certain
extent don't you think that at this point it's so it's so complicated that
almost no one wants to be
president like the it's not a job that like people are scrambling to get
anymore right nobody their right
mind would want to put themselves through it or you know unless you're
independently wealthy yeah and and
and just don't care and there's there is I think you're right there's there's a
you think about the
kid who wants to become president of the young republicans club right in in
middle school and then
you know all through his life that's all he wants he wants to be an elected
official somewhere so he goes
maybe to the town council and eventually and his big goal is to become a
congressman and god forbid then he gets
that and he goes on there's a certain personality type right that's way up its
own ass that allows
you to think that yes i should be president of the united states yeah i look in
the mirror every morning
and i think yes i should lead the free world so right there i think you've got
a flaw in all the people
who are pursuing elected office but then you've got the money that's behind it
you've got you have to
be independently wealthy i watched not to disappear down a rabbit hole but uh i
lived on the east coast
before we moved out to idaho which is a great state love it oh my god it's a
great beautiful it's it
people don't know no and we probably shouldn't say anything about it they think
it's kansas they think
it's flat or something i've had this conversation with these two guys about it
and they were like
well you know it's mostly farms like what are you talking about man it is i
mean there's a lot of go
there a lot of agriculture but you know what it has more if you here's a here's
an interesting fact
about idaho people can write this down if you took an iron and ironed idaho
flat and then you did
that with all the other states the only other state that would be bigger would
be alaska yeah
and the same for river frontage right the river miles of rafting is is insane
out there so but
the point uh being i suppose before we moved out there i was on the east coast
and um my wife is is
involved in politics to some degree but we we spent some time in connecticut
right watching uh the the
governor race there um and they would have to go from town council to town
council it works based
that way i mean you have to get the vote of the republican party of the
democratic party in the town
council and the first question any of them would ever ask was you know can you
self-fund basically
you know how much money do you have and so you put that you know together with
the idea that nobody
wants to open their family up to the the ridiculous scrutiny that's involved
and yeah yeah you did we
get what we get we get this this crazed campaign season yeah it seems like we're
down to assholes
that's it it's the only people who want to be it and bernie sanders is just i
mean he's kind of an old
kook i don't think he's an asshole i think he's got i don't think he's an
asshole no he seems like a nice
guy actually with a lot of good ideas socially i don't know i don't know it's
just it's like it's the
biggest example in my opinion of picking the lesser evil i mean that's how i'm
looking at this campaign
it's like what's the lesser evil it's going to be hillary clinton who basically
i i just i can't
i don't i don't feel any sincerity from her at all it's so hard she's been in
the business for so
long she's been involved in politics for so long like i don't know if she knows
how to be just
herself that's a good point i mean i my problem with hillary is it's purely an
operational one i know
that if i had handled i mean even in a conservative way if you look at what she
did with the email
server and her colleagues her cohorts did uh and you say okay it's it's you
know in a conservative
way i'm looking at how bad it was if i had done that i would have been sent to
prison and i know
uh because we had various counterintelligence you know operations and else you're
trying to find
the leak you're trying to find the problem and you know you watch people get
banged up for less
egregious acts than what she's been involved in so my problem with hillary is
look you know you one
set of rules for everybody right and you know david petraeus is a good example
he hands over some
uh of information to his mistress who had a security clearance and uh he gets a
couple years probation
you know a large fine has to plead guilty um she literally hands it over to the
chinese the russians
and any other state and non-state sponsored you know hacker out there and
explain what
she did for people who don't know sure she um for whatever her motivation she
initially said it was
simply a matter of ease after saying that she didn't really know because it
wasn't her gig
um she set up a a private email server in her bathroom and her bathroom in her
bathroom at her
house in in uh who the fuck puts an email on a server in their bathroom i know
i know well that seems
like a weird choice well you know you're multitasking maybe you know you don't
have that much time in the
day maybe she's constipated yeah so i know she did not use that excuse as i
recall it still doesn't
make sense it doesn't make any sense i know i mean like they have no extra
rooms right in the clinton
house yeah it's it's a small place they only made about 190 million dollars
over the last couple
of years so we're supposed to believe she's living in a one bedroom one bath
place you know 800 square
feet and so she she used this and essentially the the problem is she traffic
was directed through this
unprotected uh server that now you know and she's arguing semantics she's
saying well i never saw that
it was classified and yet it's either classified or it's not and you know it
when and when you sign on
to be whether it's a senior official at her level or or some you know moak that's
that's walking around
just carrying papers at the agency whatever it may be you sign agreements you
that you will protect
classified information and it doesn't say it has to be marked classified it
says that you were aware
because you go through a briefing about what is and what isn't and how you look
at a piece of
information to determine so she's saying it wasn't classified when she saw it
um or when it hit the
server but what they were doing is essentially cutting and pasting from
classified documents so that
they could bypass traffic and what their motivation was i have no idea whether
they thought it was
quicker whether it was easier you know i don't read a lot of nefarious intent i
just read um an
egregious mishandling of classified information that anybody else would be
punished for and it's you
know i don't think it's going to happen i think the the bureau is engaged in a
couple of different
investigations i think they have all the information they would need to put the
ordinary person
you know uh or move for an indictment i just don't think the doj is going to do
it so there what is
their motivation to ignore it well i think it's a i think it's political top
cover because there's
not there's only one other person running for the democratic party right yeah a
lot of people aren't
too excited about having bernie sanders become the president right right and
and i mean again it's
sort of you know the the the left makes fun of the republicans as they should
because look what
we've got as our front runner but uh you know they make fun of the idea that
you know the republicans
are all upset because their anointed one whether it's rubio or whomever you
know is is in the dust
right now it's the same way on the other side right i mean they you know there's
a lot of people you
know with their knickers in a twist on the on the on the left upset that
perhaps their anointed one
isn't going to get in if if huma abedin or one of her cohorts who was involved
in this who also
were being looked at in a very very serious way if one of them gets banged up
for this
then i don't know how it doesn't spread to her she was in charge and you know i
understand
shit rolls downhill but anyway so that's it seems like the only way it wouldn't
is the whole thing
that we're talking about her in the first place that she's just so deeply entrenched
in the system
she's so political and she's washed so many hands and you know they're all tied
in together
and this is the fabric that's sort of keeping her afloat right now her whole
sort of you know
political operating mechanism i mean she's just so deeply entwined in the washington
system
and that seems to be what's keeping her from i mean if this was going on and
somehow or another this was
someone like trump someone who's an outsider jesus christ they would chase him
down yeah forget about
it i this is this is a remarkable situation um somebody who's is a former and
and again not
taking away she's got a lot of experience okay i understand that um i like you
know bill clinton i
liked the guy i thought he was a you know there was it was a lot of good things
about him um
it's just it's it's pretty it's pretty up um i don't know how else to put it we've
got trump
on one side we've got we've got hillary under investigation on the other side
we've got bernie
sanderson i get it i understand why people like bernie because hey who why
wouldn't you like free
stuff free stuff is give me some of that you know i've got three little boys i
gotta put through
college i mean well people feel like there's an imbalance and they feel like
this is the only guy
that's saying hey it's imbalanced and the the people that understand economics
are apparently upset at
them i don't understand economics i'm lucky i don't have to but the people that
you know if i was a
fucking accountant i'd shoot myself i'd jump off a bridge but the people that
understand it are like
this guy's policy this is not gonna work like none of this is gonna work so
that's an argument for
other people but the people that feel like we got screwed in 2008 with the the
you know the whole
bailout and the the banks and all the the craziness with the economic collapse
they feel like at least
some guy's coming along that's addressing that and he's the only one so that's
what people are
gravitating towards and there's a lot of social stuff like his gravitating
towards the black lives matter
movement and wanting to make medical marijuana legal and all that stuff that i
understand too but
there's not one person that stands out where i go there's my guy there's my guy
yeah no i agree 100
absolutely 100 yeah i mean if you could take bernie because i th
