This is the greatest time in human history where there's absolutely zero thinking. When I say zero thinking and or you're put in fear of thinking. I'll give you a little example. I had, I came in, I had to have a COVID test before I walked in here, right? So I was talking to your nurse and I said, I had it. I had it in December. I didn't tell anyone because I didn't, I put on social media and I put it everywhere because I didn't want people like, oh, we're gonna cancel shows and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Stereo that goes along. How bad was it? It was like a very mild sinus infection. Basically it's what Jamie had basically. It started, it started in my nose, right? And then it had a little like, I had one of those. But I immediately from the past, anytime I get sick, I'm traveling. So I know I've had, I've been sick on the road. I mainly put a nose spray, constant cleaning, and I have an inhaler and like a steroid to get my lungs going. So I started that the next day, body felt like I was getting something and which I've had in the past, almost if I don't get the chills, my skin gets really sensitive. And then after that, a little tired, but I had, I can breathe, but clearly I had a sinus infection. That's the best way to describe it. Now here's the thing. Now I gave it to my wife and my youngest daughter and the other two, my other two daughters were like, we're out of here. We're getting tested. They both negative, shoo, and they left the house. We're out of here and they got bubbles around the head and wearing their space outfits. So they're gone. My youngest one comes home from school and she has to take a test and they say, you're positive and she was, she clearly got sick. My wife's sick. I'm sick now. None of us, I have an infectious disease doctor in New Jersey. His specialty is infectious disease. I said, doc, my daughter is positive. I clearly gave it to her. He goes, you need to get tested before I see you. I said, okay, well it's a two, three day wait. In the meantime, did you have every, anything goes take vitamin C, vitamin D and zinc. Because do you have a high fever? I want no. Because you have trouble breathing? I want no. He goes, then don't worry about it. So part of me started getting infuriated. I said, so you're telling me the world is shutting down and you're telling me to take vitamin C, vitamin D and zinc? Because I need you to get the test. Okay, I'll get the test. I'm a little angry. I just want something to get rid of this. Okay. That's all I want. So now it's going on the second week and this thing's annoying because I'm taking 2000 Ds and 3000 Cs and zinc and A and whatever he's telling me to do. My daughter is getting better. My wife still can't, D can't smell or taste. And she's got stage four cancer. So she's like super high. She's doing great and all that, but she's doing great. She's on trial. She's crushing it. So if anything, she's the most danger because of her immune system. Week two. I get a test. The same test I just took here, which is a very reliable test. And I told my doctor, Hey man, it's a fish. I tested positive. Which test did you take? I took the rapid because I can't, I don't accept that one. You don't accept that infectious disease doctor and you don't accept that test. What did he want? The PCR test? He wanted, yeah, whatever. He's got to go to a lab. What's going on day 12? You still telling me to take vitamins and stuff? So finally I said, I'm not doing that test because then I got to go in the state and the system and they called looking for my daughter. Can we speak to your daughter? No, you may not. Well is she doing the appropriate things? I have it as her father. Well what is she doing? Go fuck yourself. That's what she's doing. You don't call my house government. You just overstepped your boundaries. You just here to protect me not to come knocking on my door to ask me what I'm doing and how I'm treating my 16 year old. It's a very frightening place to be. Now with that said, I then ask, Hey man, what can we do? He goes, I need that other test and I'm not getting the other test. So I called a friend, said, I'll get you something by tomorrow. I got stuff by the next day and in two days that stuff was clear. So I started asking her, why don't people, and I just left the town of Chester, New Jersey and there was a, there's a couple, there's about 15 of us, a group that formed this community during the whole COVID and this one woman just got it and she's got hospitalized. And I went, whoa, what happened? And she said, I waited 12 days and then it had a problem. I started freaking out breathing and went to the hospital that gave me steroids and antibiotics and it cleared right up. So my question is, why do you have to test positive to wait to get antibiotics or steroids if neither one of them hurt you or kill you? Wow, you're still waiting to see what this does. And she didn't have an answer. And she's like, that's a great question. I go, it's a simple, it's just a question. So if I'm a doctor and Joe Rogan comes to me and says, Hey man, my daughter's positive. I have sinus. I am, well, I can give you this because I know it's not going to kill you and I know it's going to give you antibiotics and hopefully two, three days it will clear up. But it's not going to, and if it gets worse, then we'll take care of it then because clearly this is not going to make you worse. So why isn't that being done? And then my other question was if that doctor, an infectious disease doctor, doesn't allow that test, how many people take that test and it counts as a number, but yet it doesn't count. So what is really going on is my question. There's a lot of confusion, a massive amount of people. There's a disease that kills some folks and there's a disease that we in the beginning stages of this pandemic thought was going to be far more severe than it turned out to be. And they never adjusted. That's the problem. The problem is it's still not good. You know, you don't want to catch COVID, but the vast majority of people who get it will be fine. 78% of the people that are hospitalized are obese. The obese people have a real hard time with it. There's 6% of the people who died from COVID only had COVID. The other 96% of the people who died from COVID only had COVID. The other 94% had an average of 2.6 co-morbidities. So almost three, more than two and a half co-morbidities, being like obesity. There's a bunch of different things that people have. Diabetes is a big one. You know, Alzheimer's, there's a lot of co-morbidities that are very dangerous if you get COVID. I'll tell you another one. So another one of our friends, his name is Rob. He's a mess, bro. Gout three times a year. He's a mess. He's totally heavy dude. Blah, blah, blah. July, he says, don't come near me. I have a science infection. And we all went, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Rob's off limits. You know, whoop, whoop, Rob's dying. We're laughing. Rob died. He's got it. He's done. You should really go check that out, Rob. We don't hear from Rob. Next thing, me and my wife went to Maine. Went on a mountain. We were on a lake. I felt like if I died, that is where heaven's going to be, is that trip with my wife. I come back. Do you hear what's going on, Rob? He's in the hospital. What? He's on the ventilator. The ventilator went, what? Now he was a crazy Trump guy. He was like, Trump, full blown. I would go there and I'm like, oh my God, these guys are talking politics again. Please get off me. Every morning he's like, the liberals and Democrats. It's nonstop. Like, oh my gosh, I want to have a muffin and relax. So with that, and dude, I got caught up too. I would be a liar if I said I wasn't caught up in some stuff for a while. I was on the internet like, dude, dude, JFK is coming back. I was, my court makes all sorts of war. I was in. But this guy was like, if I ever get it, I'm taking hydrochloroquine. All right. That was, so now, and this is all still going by the way. He gets admitted to the hospital and then here comes my next question. And there is an ending to the story. He gets admitted. They say he's got brain damage from COVID. He's brain damage. Well, this is the information we're getting. Like, what? What do you mean? He's brain damage. Yeah, he's not going to be able to walk. What? He has brain damage. Then it turned out he had strokes. The COVID caused strokes. Then it turned out, no. He asked for a specific drug. They said, we can't give it to you in the state of Jersey. And we're going to have to do testing before we could do stuff. Next thing you know, the guy's on high blood pressure, pills, and all that. They didn't give him his meds. He stroked out. Caught to. He's brain dead. His wife can't, his wife and 11 year old, 13 year old have to say goodbye to him before they pull the plug. They're not allowed to be with him. They have to FaceTime. So here's the question for you. No, this is going somewhere, bro, right? Thank God one of our crew said, please send this person there. Just one last, one last look. The specialist shows up, said he's not brain dead. He's dehydrated. Who's been taking care of this patient? And who said he was COVID? I want everything. Gets everything. He said, I need the wife and children in here. Oh, well, it's against our. What's keeping you safe? What's keeping you safe? Bring his family in here. His family talks to him. His heart rate starts going up. In a week, he opens his eyes and communicates for the first time. It's six weeks later. He now stands up for the first time. It was October. He finally got out. And he's still taking physical rehab. I got pictures of him, videos of him, and all that jazz. But he's recovering. So the point of my story is two things. They were ready to let him die. They were willing. They already said he's dead and you can't visit him. Jesus Christ. So what kind of fucking hospital is this? It's in New Jersey. That's crazy. But my question is this. When it comes to not being able to see elderly in elderly homes, you've got a quarantine and all that, what keeps the workers safe? What keeps the, quote, heroes safe? And why can't you allow someone with a human touch? Because when you're at your weakest moment in time, you need a human. You need pure love. You need that child. You need your mother to come visit you. They're the ones, even if you're in your house, and the fact that they are stopping that is pure evil in my mind. It has nothing to do with safety. And if it is safety, then stupidity. And at the end of the day, it's evil. There is no protocol. Stupidity, in my opinion. I understand what you're saying. I think in the general sense, they're trying to protect people from getting infected. Well, what keeps the people that works there infected? Nothing. Well, then what keeps, what they're good at is just answering. I mean, they wear the tightest masks that you can, but there's other things you can do. Then give it to the child and the mom and dad. Exactly. No, I'm with you. I'm with you 100%. If your kid was dying, Joe. Yeah. You're going to allow them to keep you from seeing them? No, no. I'm going to do my best, right? You're going to smash that door down, bro. I'll tell you that right now. You're going to have to arrest me. Yeah. You're going to have to arrest me. So. I feel the same way. I know what you're saying. You've got to question everything. But you were right about the touch, about love and about having hope and having someone come visit you. Despair is terrible for the immune system. All that stuff is, do you know what a nocebo is? You know what that means? No. It's the opposite of placebo. A placebo effect is they give you a sugar pill and it makes you think that you're doing well. And you're like, oh, and then all of a sudden your symptoms improve and you actually get better. Yeah. Because your body is on a positive trip. Yeah. And then your body's like, oh, Jim got the medicine. Oh, we're healing up. And it literally has an actual physical measurable effect and it's called a placebo effect. Well, there's also something that they believe is more powerful than the placebo effect. And that's the nocebo effect. The nocebo effect is telling someone that they have a disease, telling someone that there's an incurable disease or that they're sick and then they fucking panic. And here's a perfect example. In 2007, there was a guy that was a part of a trial that they were doing a double blind placebo controlled trial on antidepressants. So they're trying to find the efficacy of antidepressants and they give this guy these pills and he shows up at the hospital. He's got an empty bottle of pills and he goes, help me, help me. I took all the pills. I took all the pills. And this guy collapses. All right. They bring him into the emergency room. His fucking blood pressure is dangerously low. His heart rate is jacked up. He's pale. He's sick. They're like, oh no. And so they find the guys, the guy has a pill bottle they brought in with him. They find the guy's physician that's a part of the clinical trial and they bring the physician in. The physician tells him, you got the placebo. There's no medication here. These are bullshit pills. There's nothing in them. All of a sudden the guy gets better. Like that. His heart rate balances. His blood pressure balances. 15 minutes later he's fine. The power of your mind. He was convinced that he was fucked. If you have someone in a hospital bed and you're telling them they're going to die and you're not going to see your family. And the amount of stress and the pain, your symptoms will crash. Everything will get more fucked up. Your body will go into a total state of shock. There's been people that have died because they were incorrectly diagnosed with cancer. And they went into this shock where they can't believe that they're not going to. And then their immune system crashes. Their body crashes. And then they've done autopsies and they found out that it was benign. And this is what drives me nuts where nobody questioned you. Just go, that's what they said. That's what they said. So that's what we're doing. That's what voodoo is. You know, like people think that voodoo is bullshit. What voodoo is, is you tell someone, if you're a charismatic person, you have white paint on your face and fucking feathers and skulls and on sticks. And you tell them, I put a curse on you. And you believe that shit. You'll be in a full terror. You'll be in a full terror. And then your life will fall apart. My hand to God, when I start my show, I say, and I've been saying, this is the greatest voodoo trick I've seen in humanity in my entire life. Because that's what it is. It's the greatest voodoo trick in history. It's mind boggling. Now I'm able to sit and watch it and dodge from it. But at the same time, I'm baffled. How many people just don't question anything? It's mind boggling. I'm going to be in a full terror. I'm going to be in a full terror. I'm going to be in a full terror. I'm going to be in a full terror. I'm going to be in a full terror. I'm going to be in a full terror. I'm going to be in a full terror. I'm going to be in a full terror. I'm going to be in a full terror. I'm going to be in a full terror. I'm going to be in a full terror. I'm going to be in a full terror. I'm going to be in a full terror. I'm going to be in a full terror.
