Best of the Week - April 5, 2020 - Joe Rogan Experience

To all of us in the political world, Joe Rogan's political leanings are like the great mystery. And frankly, we kind of like it that way. It makes you, it keeps you out of the fray. It's more of a mystery now, because I said that I wouldn't vote for Biden, that I said I would vote for Trump over Biden. All these people went crazy. But let me be clear. You know what? I'd also vote for Whoopi Goldberg over Joe Biden. I'd vote for Mike Tyson over Joe Biden. I just don't think it's a good idea to take someone who's struggling with dementia and put him in one of the most stressful positions the world has ever known. That's what I'm saying. I mean, it's not an endorsement of Trump, it is me saying you shouldn't have a man who's clearly, clearly in the throes of dementia. I mean, I'm not a doctor, but when you can't form sentences in public and you forget what you're talking about and you wander off into these conversations. If you're not smoking pot, you're not high, if you're not on pills, like what's going on? Well, there's cognitive decline. He's an older man that has mental issues. And you know, not to be cruel to him. He's suffering medically. This is a real issue. And the Democrats want to sweep that under the rug. And Trump is already chewing him apart. He's already dismissing him. I mean, there is a recent thing that Kyle Kalinsky posted a video on his Twitter talking about this is what happens when you don't discuss the elephant in the room. And it's Trump saying, he used to do it during a press conference and they asked him a question about something that Biden wrote. He goes, Biden didn't write that. He's like, that's a Democratic operative. He didn't read it. He probably doesn't even know what's going on right now. And he's going to continue to do that. And it's such a vulnerable point. And I don't know why the Democrats thought it would be a good idea to take someone who's clearly got a problem. This is, I don't want to be mean to the guy, but we've all seen it. That's not normal. It's not normal to forget, like when he's talking about the creator and he literally loses what he's saying. He's like, oh, the, you know, the thing like the, the decoration independence. Yeah. I mean, that's very simple document. I don't understand. There's a bunch of those things like when he was talking about the cure and losing what he's saying that you have to take care of the cure. And he does, he's, he's struggling. The guy is struggling. He's tired. This is extremely stressful process to run for president. And the idea that he's going to be able to get through this and be okay on the other side to run the country for four, potentially eight years is crazy. Here's a better one. Epstein, Epstein's killer. That's one. Nobody thinks that that guy hung himself. No one. How about that guy? If you have various theories or various stories that people come out and talk about with that one. Yeah. And I just actually yesterday listened to Eric Weinstein's solo podcast and Jeffrey Epstein. I don't know if you've listened to caught it. He talks about his kind of conspiracy view of it. I wish I was there when he met him. That would have been fascinating to see because Eric is too smart. He's almost like too smart. He's one of those guys you talk to him like, oh, you poor bastard. You're burdened trying to make sense of the world around apes. And all the trauma of, like we were talking about, he's still also the 13, the 20 year old kid. So he's seeing he had a few run-ins with authority, which makes him suspicious of authority. And I think our life experience defines that. So you can see Epstein in a lot of different ways, depending on how you've experienced. Yeah, for sure. Life. But. If you were there, I can tell you, very nice. I can see the kill cliff on your. I like it. I know actually quite a lot of people that have met Epstein. Do you really? Yeah, because you're in the scientific community, right? Yeah. And especially at MIT. He was a big donor. He tainted a lot of people's reputations by knowing him in a weird way. Basically if you took a picture with him, your reputation is tainted. Yeah. Yeah, whether you knew him or not. But I think. I do think that outside of conspiracy theories that he was an exceptionally charming person. So he was good. You know, the charming people, charming people. Yeah. And I don't mean to make it sound positive or negative. It is what it is, is the devil is going to be charming. So right. And the other thing is he genuinely showed curiosity towards scientific ideas, even out there, big scientific ideas. Especially. What do you think that was though? Have you ever thought about that? Do you think that it's possible that, look, I mean, if you just look at it from perspective of is it the big theory, the big theory, right? Is that he's some sort of a intelligence operative, right? Yes. So if he's an intelligence operative, don't you think it's part of his job to try to infiltrate these scientific communities? I mean, there must have been a directive. If he really is an intelligence operative, it's not like they're like, hey, go pursue your interest. Hey, do you, I hear you have a really big, uh, love of science. Just feel free to do that on the side. No, what, what, what the fuck was he doing? If he's an intelligence operative, what is he, is the intelligence having sex with underage girls? And that, you know, this is one reason people believe conspiracy theories is because a lot of them are true. Yeah. That's what's scary. Not all of them, but I point to with you, um, with the Epstein case, like you were one of the first people, I mean, as a literally, you're a professional skeptic and you looked at some of the evidence, you're like, Oh, well, you know what? This might be a conspiracy, you know? And when I said, when Michael Shermer thinks it might be a conspiracy, it's probably a goddamn conspiracy. There's been enough of them. I'm still not sure about that one because after I posted something about the, you know, the two cameras broke or whatever, somebody wrote me from that prison saying all those cameras are always breaking. Like, Oh, it's a little convenient though, that he, you know, he winds up strangling himself in a way that Michael Batten, the famous autopsy doctor says is completely inconsistent with hanging and much more consistent with someone strangling you, including the actual area where he was hanging from supposedly. Like it's consistent with someone strangling you from behind, not consistent with you hanging by your own weight. Yeah. After Weinstein got his, his, um, Harvey Weinstein got his conviction. I thought, Oh boy, but they better have a real suicide watch on this guy because he's, he surely has a black book just as big as Epstein's. Oh, I'm sure. Well, I think what, what he's got is probably more incriminating to him though. You know, I think what he's got is probably, Hey, I had sex with all these starlets and turned them into big celebrities and this, and I bet he probably doesn't want that out, especially at this stage of the game. Nothing. I don't think anything he's got is going to make him look good. And I think with the thing with Epstein is he knew way too much about too many powerful people. There's just so, so many connections that could be made with that guy. And that, you know, to this day, people were asking questions that people like Bill Gates don't want to answer or Prince Andrew or any of these people. They're like, you know, I don't want to talk about this. Yeah. I didn't, I didn't hear the one about Gates, but, but Prince Andrew, of course, Gates apparently flew on the Lolita Express four years after he was convicted. Oh, okay. Wow. All right. According to the daily mirror or whatever the fuck it was. I don't, I would, I would ask Jamie to look that up, but I've got his computer right now. Go get up on your iPad. Find out if it's true of Bill Gates flew in the Lolita Express because that's what I was reading today. People were trying to ask Bill Gates, but it's so hard to know what's true and what's not true today. That's the thing is there's so much data. And so, I mean, one of the things that's really sad about the loss of respect for mainstream journalism and mainstream media is, well, if we count, can't count on them, then who's regulating the independence, who's regulating these websites, who's regulating these people that are just, you know, so-called independent journalists that are just tweeting things and finding things and putting things up on their websites. It's so hard to tell who's telling the truth and who's not. Dude, you want to see people piss in America? Fuck with football. Fuck with LSU football or Georgia football, college football. See what happens. You think things are bad now? Fuck with the college football. You know, this is a weird time too, because right before the election, you know, election comes in November. Like, imagine if this had, this shit was going on right now in the election. It's like next week. God. Can you imagine? Chaos. Bernie dropped out. Yep. It's a wrap. Biden ain't beating Trump. Nope. That's your best. That's the guy. It shows you how crazy the system is that they wanted him, that they wanted Biden to be their guy, that they don't, they can't admit that he's in cognitive decline. I mean, it's very strange. Listen, I fuck up all the time. I speak for a living. I fuck up all the time. But Biden's, but Biden? No, he fucked up, man. You're a politician. I'm a politician. I'm a politician. I'm a politician. I'm a politician. I'm a politician. I'm a politician. I'm a politician. I'm a politician. I'm a politician. I'm a politician. I'm a politician. I'm a politician. I'm a politician. I'm a politician. I'm a politician. I'm a politician. I'm a politician. I'm a politician. I'm a politician. I'm a politician. I'm a politician. I'm a politician. I'm a politician. I'm a politician. I'm a politician. I'm a politician. I'm a politician. I'm a politician. I'm a politician. He can't do that about politics, and he's been a politician forever. And that's your shit. He's a guy who's suffering. He's in decline, and they're going to try to wail him out. Whoever his VP is, whether it's Kamala Harris or whoever it is. Michelle Obama? Maybe, whoever it is. But that's who you're voting for. It's sort of like when Dick Cheney was basically running the country while George Bush was the president. Yeah. I don't know. We'll see. There's no way he beats Trump. He doesn't beat Trump. Not a chance. Especially because of the timing of this. Right now, we're in the shit. We're in the April shit is the worst time of the Corona. A lot of people are dying. There's a slight drop off in New York. People dying less today than yesterday. Slight drop off yesterday from the day before. So things are looking pretty good. California's going to be ... Yeah. California's looking very good, right? Yeah. We're crushing it, huh? California's looking very good. So, and then ... Where's that? Oh, here it is. And so, and then you go June, July, August. Hopefully everything's up and running again. Economy starts coming back on track. Trump makes a couple of great speeches. Biden is more in decline. It's not going to get better. No, those two face off. Trump's going to light him up like a Comedy Central roast. He's already dismissing him. He's already like, he doesn't know it. Sleepy Biden. He's like, but he's saying, like someone said, Biden said this. He goes, he didn't ... First of all, he didn't write that. It was a Democratic operative. He probably doesn't even know what it says. He's going to destroy him, man. He's going to kill him, man. I mean, it's such an easy target. It's like Mike Tyson versus a three-year-old. It's true. It really is. It's a terrible fight.
