Joe Rogan - Bernie Sanders Biggest Mistake

You think Bernie Sanders maybe could have done that? Not could he have won. But what would happen if he got- The problem with Bernie is the same reason why he let those black lives people take his mic and start screaming into the thing like, hey buddy, can't do that. You're running for fucking president and you're showing right here that people can just storm the stage and take the microphone from you. Like you should say, I would love to have a dialogue with you. Let's do it publicly. Let's schedule it now. We'll come back, we'll get a large group of people and I'll speak with you on this stage if you represent this very important political movement. But here's what you can't do. You can't disrespect this campaign speech because you're literally stopping people from ever voting for me if I let you do it. Because that's the fact. What if he said- People watched him do that and they'd go, you can't let kids just take over your show. You can't. You're the guy who's supposed to be running the country. You can't even run this fucking thing. You got this one thing. You're standing on the stage in front of 300 people. Three of them just took your mic. Congratulations. You don't have leadership ability. It's right there. What about other than that? That's a big part. That's big. That's not good. That's not good. But you know what? In the moment, he made an error. Doesn't mean that's who he is. Part of the problem is people are judging you by these moments that you have. And it doesn't define him. He might have done that and go, well, I was just trying to be nice. I didn't expect that. I thought security was going to get them out of there, but they didn't. You know, they didn't. They wound up on the stage with him screaming. I thought maybe he felt... I've seen him when he did those type of things a few times. You want to see the video? You want to see it? It's kind of interesting. I thought it was his way of saying, look, I get it. What it must feel like to not be able to be heard. And it's not my fault that no one's ever listened to you so far. But what do we have to do? And then maybe he feels they go up and they just... A sane person would lead. It would lead a sane person when you ignore that long to just grab a mic. And he goes, I have to be a part of letting this person spill out a little. Yeah, but the problem is then who doesn't spill out? Everybody can spill out. Everybody can jump up for their own cause, whether it's white power or fucking Jews' Lives Matter, whatever it is. You could just decide that you have a group now and your group may very well be valid. But you can just decide now you're just going to yell out whenever there's some sort of a political speech and then it'll be your chance to talk. You're just going to take the mic and make it all about you. Yeah, there's got to be some civility. There are a lot of things we need to be concerned with. We need to be concerned with war. We need to be concerned with poverty, education, healthcare, all these different things. But you can't just represent each one of these very, very important groups and jump on stage everywhere and start yelling. Do you know what I thought? Does that make sense? Yes. I should be just done with this. No, why? It's because the subject is like... It gets so exhausting. I know. I had one more thing. No, because by the way, you have these theories in your head and then sometimes somebody will respond and blow it out of... Just on your own. I never thought about that. But I had this theory. It was a weird way that I thought about it. Well, two things. One, kids do... I'm stealing from the act a teeny bit, but just because it's a stat I use in the act. Kids do, if there was a Yelp review, young adults have an amazing Yelp review for being on the right side. Who they root for, who they, I think, music. Well, you're dealing with some left wing, democratic, out here kids. You ever talked to some kids from Alabama? Well, I'm talking about on the masses of kids that march. Oh, the ones that march. The ones that march. The ones that get involved. If you go back and look at like, you know, Kent State or, you know, I'm sure that we... Sorry, Alabama. I'm sure we could pull up 50. But so with that said, now I'm not saying we shouldn't doubt them. If I had a gun to my head and someone said, if we had a crystal ball, are they making the right choice about Bernie Sanders, these kids? And I go, oh, let me ask you. I got to talk about that for five. I got to watch your campaign. I got to watch your debate. I can't... How's he going to handle public policy? How's he going to... I can't just... They go, we're going to shoot you in your head. I go, kids overwhelmingly, kids like him. Yeah, he's going to do the right thing. And I think if there was a crystal ball, here's my theory. But I don't know. I've never said this, I think, out loud. But maybe 50 years from now, just like we're learning about history, they would talk about him in the way that, you know, this guy came into office, picture kids, and they're telling him why maybe 2022 started to be these good times. And they're talking about history. And they go, well, a guy came into office and he really didn't know anything about the... He didn't really know about... He was not... He didn't know about war. He didn't know about... No one thought he could really do it. But he was one thing that you wouldn't think would answer our economical problems. You can be a nice-hearted person. But that's not going to answer your economical problems. But it ended up doing that. Because he did truly treat everybody kind. And it ended up that when people started to be treated fairly, the world worked better. It was less depressed people. I'm not saying everybody, but people... We torture people. We had someone in power that was overwhelmingly kind. And people felt the wrath of that almost very quickly. Maybe we go, and then you know what? No one ever thought this. And some of the economical problems worked themselves out. Now that is based on no... Science. Exactly. No, Matt. Well, yeah. I'm acknowledging that... But that was in my head.
