Joe Rogan on Why Bernie Has the Establishment Running Scared

Who's gonna win? Bernie Sanders or Trump? You know how everybody thought that Donald Trump's fucked and that Hillary Clinton was gonna beat him and that no one was concerned? All these people were like, he doesn't have a chance. Hillary's gonna be the winner and Hillary's gonna be the winner. That same shit could be going on with Bernie Sanders and Trump. And people gotta be real careful about that. These people that think that Bernie Sanders can't win. I don't think you understand what's going on in this country. People are fed up with the system. They're fed up with this idea that they work so hard and they give their money up to politicians and the politicians don't really work for the people. They don't. They don't. Can I tell you the most annoying thing a politician says? Well, you know, I speak for the American people. I'm like, no, you don't. No, no, no, not at all. You can't. There's not a single human that can speak for all the American people. No, I hate that. But you could look out for the interests of the American people. And I think Bernie Sanders definitely does do that. I think he's looking out for the interests of the working people. And I think he wants people to have a better life and do better. And I'm all for that. And if that means I have to pay more in tax. People think, oh, you're a socialist. I've heard people say that. Oh, you're a fucking socialist, bro. Like first of all, he's not even a socialist. He's a democratic socialist. It's a different thing. He's not like everyone should have the even amount of money and we should all give up our money to the institution. And then the institution should decide how it gets divided and you shouldn't be able to make more than X amount of dollars. That's not what he's saying. What he's saying is it should work for the people. And what he's saying is people should have health care. What he's saying is there's a lot of things that are already socialist ideals that we use. We just forgot about it. Like the fire department. The fire department. You don't have a private fire department that puts out your fire. We pay for the fire department. It comes out of our taxes. It pays those very brave men and women and then they come and they put out your fire. That's a socialist idea. Public schools are a socialist idea. Police are a socialist idea. There's a lot of things that your money goes to. The idea that we can't extend that and to have a better life because of it and to have free health care and free college education and to eliminate student debt. I don't know that that's incorrect. I don't know that he's wrong. Yeah, I just think it's a thing where our government to me and I'm no expert but it seems like they throw so much money away. Why not if you're going to throw it away do something good with it. He wouldn't be throwing it away then. That would be actually doing something good with it. He's got crazy ideas and if they're right it's revolutionary and that's what he thinks. He thinks he can enact revolutionary changes. But does free health care revolutionary win pretty much the whole lot of places? It's revolutionary for us. It's us. Because it's going to take out the drug companies and there's a lot of money. A lot of money there. A lot of money. That's a big problem. One of the biggest problems is the amount of influence that not just the drug companies have but a lot of industry has on the way politicians decide how to spend your money. And that's what he says. That's one of the things he's saying that makes people scared. That's why the Democrats are scared of them too because they're all getting paid as well. It's not like this is a Republican thing only. This is an established institution thing. But it also proves that like with Michael Bloomberg spending all this money that when he goes to Super Tuesday he's going to get 13 percent of, they're guesstimating about 13 percent. It's just, and he's going to pass up a lot of people that have been campaigning. It shows you how much money, you know, even can play in our politics by being on every five minutes. Yeah. He's not going to win. He's blowing all that cash. No, he's not going to win. It's going to be a tax write off for him. Jamie, what were you telling me about people getting paid to say things for him more than 10 percent? I was just spending lots of money on the people posting online, like memes and making all sorts of accounts. Like they went after all of the, I don't know, top but like Instagram accounts, like the meme accounts really. Oh really? And they had to offer the money. Strategy, yeah, give them some money like, hey, what will you do to post this? And they all ended up posting the conversation instead of what they were asking to post, which that was the strategy. It's like these weird strategies. They have think tanks spending millions of dollars to get that done, thinking it's going to create a 30 percent. You know what I do like about Bernie Sanders? He's the exact, now don't take this wrong, the exact same energy and vibe that Trump has on it. Loud says it like it is to him, whatever his thoughts are. So really, if they go against each other, it's almost the same person. I'm not talking policies at all. I'm just saying this characteristics, you know, where Bernie's not going to back down from Trump and Trump's not going to back down against Bernie and all these people going, well, I don't know if Bernie's electable. It's like there are no rules anymore. Can we just say him not being electable? Yeah, it's ridiculous. He's won three primaries in a row. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, it's just, it's just ridiculous. I'm just, I'm just waiting to see how it plays out. I'm the one where it's like, you know, let's just see. I want to see who the democratic person is and then we all got to roll with him. If you're on that side, it's Bernie. Yeah. I think it's going to be Bernie unless he has a hard attack of the CIA gets him with that fucking injection. Well, you know what it is. It's not about Bernie. It's if he becomes president, who's the vice president because Bernie's old. I'm not, and I'm not wishing anything ill, but that vice president pick is very important, especially after the heart thing. Yeah, it's very important. And a lot of people are saying he should get Elizabeth Warren because you, because his age is more dangerous than she is useful. Okay. Like, I don't know her that well. I think a lot of people don't trust her after that whole Pocahontas shit, all the Indian stuff where she said she was native American. It turns out she's like one, 100th of a percent or whatever the fuck it is. But is that in today's, it's also, she was a Republican for most of her career. Yeah. And she turned over and became a Democrat man. Maybe, maybe she would get the women on their side. I think, but she's also an established Democrat. You know, that, that takes money. I think be more likely that he would get someone that we haven't heard of. Okay. Well, it's very important. Whoever, his vice president, because I'm just saying. But you remember Mike Pence, like nobody knew who the fuck Mike Pence was before Donald Trump made him our vice president. You go on the street and ask people who the vice presidents, 99% of them are going to go, Oh, I don't know. Most people don't know Mike Pence's. Yeah. Right. I think the real battle was Bernie and Trump. That's the real battle. No, no, no, I got you. I think the vice president is going to move the election. But I'm saying because he's old, because he's old, had the heart problem. Yeah. You know, the vice president is more important than like an Obama vice president. I think Tulsi Gabbard makes the most sense because she's also like him. She doesn't accept money. It's the same, same sort of a renegade philosophy, you know, slightly different politics, but you know, there's a, I think he has a lot of options and he's probably looking at them right now, especially if he keeps winning. It's like that Joe Rogan. Let's bring him up. No chance. No, no, when you do go to, after he wins, when you go to White House, just bring your boy right here. Cause I want to go to White House with you. I don't think he'll have me after the last, uh, brew ha ha after he, uh, put that video up and everybody got upset. Oh, he'll have you. I think what's going to happen is we're going to see that regular politics, the way they've been practiced for all these years in this country with like these two bullshit choices are going to go away. And I think it's going to be harder and harder for established people, whether it's Republican or Democrat to, to, to keep doing that song and dance and having people buy it. And that's a good thing. That's a good thing. It's.
