Joe Rogan GOES OFF on California Quarantine Measures

Did you see that the LA is, they have a number now where you can turn in businesses that aren't complying? Oh yeah. Like what is going on? Why? What is this? Who's doing that? But this is bad government. Listen, there's zero effort talking about giving people information on how to strengthen your immune system. Zero. Yeah. Zero effort. Zero effort talking to people about lowering stress levels through meditation and exercise. Zero. Zero. The importance of keeping your body healthy. Zero. Zero talk about this. Yeah. Zero concentrating on the new data that's coming in about vitamins and all the different vitamin deficiencies. vitamin D. Yes. Dr. Rhonda Patrick knocked it all out of the park on the podcast yesterday. Fuck man. It's crazy. These people are just like, stay home, locked up. Locked up. Stay inside. But aside from the government, snitches get stitches. This is basic childhood etiquette. Well, they were first given snitches for people who are violating social distancing, but now they're moving on to businesses that are non-compliant. But how are you supposed to make money? How are you supposed to make money? I don't understand this. Like what is the thought bot? Here's the crazy thing. Garcetti said, we're going to keep LA on at least partial lockdown until there's a cure. Okay. There's not going to be a cure, you fucking dummy. It's a virus. And it's, isn't it a cold virus? Yes, you don't cure viruses. Yeah. Unless you find a way to eradicate it from the actual gene pool. Did he actually say that? Yes, yes. Until there's a cure. You can't say that. No. First of all, I'm sure what he meant is like a viable treatment, a vaccine, but they're saying that even a vaccine, there's never been a coronavirus vaccine. Mayor, LA will never be completely reopened until we have a cure. That's his quote. That just seems, I mean, we don't have a cure for the flu. That poor lady who is the health lady, someone needs to give her a steak and let her lie outside in the sun. Jesus Christ, you're the health lady. It's a little bit light. It's pandemic light. It's certainly not like the 1918. Not even close, but look how we're reacting. We're reacting like it is. Which I think was precautionary. But it's still going on. That doesn't make any sense. I know, I know. Now they're asking people to rat people out if you're fucking opening up your business. This is Gestapo shit. Yeah, it's what's always worried is are we the frog in the boiling water where at a certain point you say, hey, everybody self-lockdown and don't work. And everyone's like, yeah, I'm not stoked about it, but OK, I'll do that for my fellow man. And then a couple of months go by and the numbers come in and you're seeing, you know, you're not seeing the outbreak in Florida from the spring breakers. You're not seeing they. Well, they've been open now. Yeah, I was just there. I flew to Florida last week for the UFC. Yeah. Saturday night I flew in. And so they're just I went to a restaurant, Bridget sat down, had a steak, had a glass of wine. My friend Eddie Bravo sat down, ate together like gentlemen. Like doesn't look weird when you see it. And it was strange at the restaurant because it was like us. And then this other older couple walked in. There was maybe one other couple towards the front and a couple of young people at the bar, fairly sparse. All the waiters had face masks on. Yeah, we ate. We ate dinner. But now the conspiracy theorists are like, now they're going to see how far they can fucking push it. Well, I don't think that's a conspiracy theory. I think that is just like your cult friend that was calling you a scumbag and trying to break you down. Yeah. When you're in a position of power, there's like there's there's an archetype of a person in a position of power and then all the potential things that can go wrong when a person's in a position of power. All the abuses of that power. I mean, they're they're documented right throughout history. But this is one of them control. I'm telling you what to do. You want more rights? You want to get your rights back? Well, daddy says you got to put your mask on, even though it doesn't make sense. So we're all grounded. It's like we're all grounded. But here's the thing. It's it's not like things are getting worse, but their grip is getting tighter. Yeah, that's what is deeply rights are generally not given back once they're taken. Exactly. And that's what the problem is. And this is what the problem when when people want to talk about like Marxism and all the positive benefits of socialism, it'd be great if everybody like helped all the people that weren't doing so well and chipped on in. And it would be great. But the problem with the big state, the big government is what you're seeing now. Yeah. Regular people making shit decisions. Yeah. Regular people like Gavin Newsom is a person. Yeah. He's not a genius. He's not a wizard. He's not from another planet. He's a human being who grew up in the United States of America. And he has this incredible amount of power over 40 million people in the state. And he's deciding we're going to go stage step one. And what you're going to be go outside and look at the sunset. You can do yoga. Don't go near anybody. You can you can golf. No cart. And he's got masks. And they put this fucking list of shit that you can do and you can't do. And then they get to tell people they get to tell you not yet. Not yet. We're going to open up a little bit on May 15th. Okay. A little bit. A little bit. What can we do? You can go to the beach now, but don't sit down. Yeah. You can't freaking sit down. You can't tell me what to do like that. You can't. It doesn't make sense. This is what you tell people. Please be cautious. Please use social distancing. Let's be smart. Let's take care of all vulnerable people. And let's take care of our health. Let's take care of our bodies. To eat. Correct. This is a good opportunity for you to cut all the bullshit out of your diet. Stop eating so much sugar. Stop drinking so much. Stop smoking cigarettes. This is a good time to work on your health.
