Joe Rogan on Cambridge Analytica

But the tech guys are going, you're already a fucking mine. They're like, you shouldn't buy it because they don't update them very well. Well, aren't all cell phones spy devices? I mean, why? Sure. So, I mean, fuck it. I talk about something and I don't type it in. I don't write a message. I don't write an email and I'll see an ad. So it's spying on us all the time. That doesn't happen to you? It hasn't happened to me, but it's happened to enough people that I believe you. It's insane. Well, I believe you know what, no matter what. It's really crazy. But I've talked to so many people that have had that happen. Somebody sent me a tweet yesterday that said they were listening to a podcast that we were doing. We were talking about something and then that something appeared in their Google ads. Exactly. And he's like, I never looked up this. I never, and oh no, it wasn't a Google ad. It was a YouTube search. It was a YouTube suggested. He's like, my fucking computer is listening. Yep. Computer and what app is doing this? I mean, I'm about to just go to a flip phone because I don't want to, it's bullshit. We know that YouTube's audio is being listened to because they're mining it to, for ad stuff already. It's not even, that's not a spy thing. That's just out there. That's how they do it. Right. But is that if you're playing things, so when we're playing, so if he's playing a podcast on YouTube, YouTube's listening to that and that's how they suggest. It's just happening in ads. What I think might be happening with people are noticing now is not just that it's happening within the software. It's that your actual device, the microphone is on and the laptop camera is on. So people have blocked the camera with tape, but they're not blocking the microphone. Yeah, exactly. How the hell do you block the microphone? You don't even know where it is. How do I, how do we have like some sort of tutorial about like how we can prevent all of our shit from being collected? Like that whole, the Facebook Cambridge Analytica thing, I feel like everyone missed the boat of what that story was. You heard about that, right? The Cambridge Analytica, they're data mining all your shit. It's like, yeah, if you're on Facebook, everything's being taken in data mine. That's very obvious. But what wasn't really investigated, I think channel four did this crazy investigation where they pretended like they were a patron trying to hire Cambridge Analytica, some billionaire dude, and they put them all on camera. It's all recorded. The guys are basically like, it's basically like a private intelligence firm, almost like a black water where you can hire mercenaries to set up honeypots with prostitutes, take down politicians, spy on them. They set up shell companies with the Mi six, a Mossad. It's all just untraceable shit. They just ghost out. They said they can ghost in out of countries. They literally said that they staged the entire Kenyan election. They were like, we staged the whole thing. We wrote all the speeches. Yeah. Can you just, yeah, this is, this is backed by billionaire Robert Mercer, the same guy who's behind channel four did a crazy investigation about it. And so that's why I'm just like, why is everyone focusing on Facebook data? This is like a crazy, like that stupid game that people play with is called farm farm land farm, world farm fuck. Yeah. What is that shit? Farmville. Yeah. That that's what people are talking about. Oh, you're getting my data. Getting my data about the cows I buy here. Like changing the government of the world. They're killing people and like the Bannonites and the Breitbart people are how many other companies are there like this? I always think, yeah, well we're all focused on Russian trolls, 14 Russian trolls in St. Petersburg. How many companies like Cambridge Analytica, like Blackwater, like all these things are operating around the world doing all this gotta be a fuckload. A lot. There's gotta be a lot that we don't know of because it's only when something fucks up or someone gets shot in the head and like, who's your work? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What is that? Oh, change the Kenyan elections? Cool. Like Incel. We never heard of Incel. Right, Incel. All of a sudden people are talking about it. There's gotta be so many of those things that are just bubbling up in the distance. Disturbing, man. Disturbing.
