Joe Rogan Podcast, check it out!
the joe rogan experience train by day joe rogan podcast by night all day who me i didn't know you were talking Talking to one of us.
joe rogan
There's only three of us sitting here.
theo von
I don't know, dude.
joe rogan
Well, the glasses, man, what's the new sophisticated look?
theo von
Yeah, I got them.
joe rogan
What's going on?
I see.
I see you got them.
theo von
Yeah, they're great, man.
My buddy Joseph gave them to me.
I got them from him.
joe rogan
Yeah.
theo von
Yeah, and they're popping.
And they help, too.
joe rogan
Yeah?
theo von
Yeah.
joe rogan
Are you losing your vision?
theo von
I don't think so, but I think these just make it even better.
joe rogan
Okay.
Let me see.
Let me try them.
See how your eyes are.
theo von
Try them on, big dog.
joe rogan
Oh, barely.
theo von
I could get them weighted, too, so you could do a neck workout.
We have them on.
joe rogan
Why would you do that?
unidentified
This is, God, I can't tell the difference.
joe rogan
Are you sure these are real?
theo von
I think they are.
joe rogan
I don't think these are real glasses, dog.
theo von
Let me see.
joe rogan
I don't think they, Jamie, put these on.
First of all, they're smeared as fuck.
theo von
Yeah, somehow they keep getting grease on them, dude.
I'll dump.
joe rogan
You got greasy fucking fingers.
You keep touching them.
unidentified
Look at you.
joe rogan
You're rubbing your head.
You're rubbing your greasy face.
theo von
I don't even go in the kitchen.
joe rogan
You don't need grease.
You don't need to go in the kitchen for grease.
Barely tell the difference, right?
jamie vernon
It's doing something, but.
joe rogan
It's barely.
Barely.
This is psychological.
jamie vernon
It's like it's if you're, it's if you're 20, if you're not, 2020 or 2025.
joe rogan
These are psychological dog.
theo von
You really?
joe rogan
You don't think they're good no no no, i'm saying I mean they're fine, but they're psychological.
Um, they're uh, I think it's a psychological thing.
theo von
Yeah, it could be.
joe rogan
I gotta believe that they make you see better.
My vision's.
Okay, it's not as good as it was when I was young I gotta read the packaging again but it's a lot better than it used to be.
I started using red light.
A red light bed makes a giant difference man, really huge difference.
Yeah, I don't need reading glasses anymore.
I needed reading glasses for a while.
Like, look at my phone, like it was fine text.
Yeah, I don't read it.
theo von
I don't need it at all anymore, and that's because of the red light.
joe rogan
Oh yeah, 100.
Huh yeah, red light therapy and certain vitamins like lutein.
There's a few different.
There's a company called PURE Encapsulations.
They make a formulation called macular support and I I take that stuff, but those two things for sure have had a big impact.
I think it's the red light though, more than anything.
That was the big, that's the big factor.
theo von
I've been doing sauna, i've been getting in there.
It feels good.
I feel like a little dumpling when I get out of there.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's good.
theo von
Yeah right, yeah it feels good.
joe rogan
Yeah, get that body all heated up and everything just kind of flows out of you.
I saw a protocol of what you're supposed to do before you get in there and i've never done any of these things.
But it's like how much water you're supposed to drink before you go.
In like 45 minutes you're supposed to go, you're supposed to drink uh, like a liter of water with electrolytes and some magnesium.
I don't know.
Some guy made this.
That's the problem.
Like everybody's an online guru yeah well, everybody.
theo von
Everything they watch, it's like they think you're trying to get in the Olympics.
It's like bitch, you're just gonna fucking get to work.
You know i'm.
joe rogan
I just want to feel a little bit better.
theo von
Yeah, I'm just trying to make it out of my garage.
joe rogan
Give me an edge.
Give me an edge on this cold, hard world.
theo von
Yeah, that's the only thing, man.
joe rogan
That's all I'm looking for.
theo von
But good to see you, dude.
joe rogan
Good to see you always, my friend.
theo von
I'm glad you're still alive.
joe rogan
You too.
I'm glad you're still alive, too.
theo von
Amen.
joe rogan
We've both been interviewing dangerous people.
theo von
Have we, you think?
joe rogan
Yeah.
Yeah, definitely.
theo von
You really have.
joe rogan
Who have I interviewed that you haven't?
It's more dangerous.
theo von
Oh, I don't know.
That's a good question.
I mean, I did.
unidentified
I don't.
theo von
Yeah, I don't think I've had people that's that dangerous.
Maybe Thomas Massey.
joe rogan
Oh, do you have him on?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, they all hate him right now.
This is a sad thing about both political parties, not just the right, but the left too, is they decide that they're going to gang up on someone for not toeing the line.
theo von
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know, like whatever happened to having different opinions, whatever happened to having different perspectives and being able to argue your perspective.
But then they have these goofy ass bills, which, by the way, they just fucking slip something into this last bill that Mitch McConnell guy did, I believe.
Make sure that he did it.
The hemp thing.
They slip this thing in where you can no longer buy CBD with like, it has to be like the lowest trace amount of THC in it, which is for like, like my wife's mom, you know, she's an older lady and she takes CBD for pain for joints and stuff like that.
theo von
Does she smoke it or she does ointment?
joe rogan
No, she takes like oil, like CBD oil.
Yeah, he's smoking in a fucking dead turtle.
He's a leading proponent of closing a 2018 farm bill loophole allowing intoxicating THC to be sold in low doses.
theo von
See, but he's got a couple of fucking milligrams in his neck.
Look at that moment.
joe rogan
He's got something going on.
They definitely got him medicated.
There ain't no way that guy's sleeping without help.
Everybody hates him.
theo von
It looks like he hit a joint and it won't leave him alone.
Go back up his show.
joe rogan
Like, took an edible.
unidentified
He liked Joey Diaz dosed him.
joe rogan
He looks like he's on the church.
He's on the church of what's happening now.
And Joey Diaz.
unidentified
Joey Diaz and Lee are just staring at him.
joe rogan
Yeah.
They got to change that.
That's really bad.
theo von
Why is it bad?
Because of what they do.
joe rogan
Because for people that are getting benefits from CBD, the THC along with the CBD.
And by the way, we're talking super, super low amounts, but there's something about how CBD and THC work in a synergistic way for people that are in a lot of pain.
I know a lot of people, like I said, my wife's mom, she says the stuff with the THC in it works better.
And it's not getting her high.
Like, this is the misunderstanding.
This stuff's not going to get you high.
But what it will do is it helps with anxiety for a lot of people.
It definitely reduces inflammation.
And for people that have like joint pain, like my friend Dave Foley.
Dave Foley from News Radio, Kids in the Hall, Dave Foley, awesome guy.
Dave had like pretty severe arthritis in his hands, like where, you know, he was really having a hard time opening his hands.
Started taking CBD oil.
theo von
Did he open a jar or anything like that?
You think was an artist?
joe rogan
It was pain, man.
It was bad.
But now it's gone.
And it's gone because of CBD.
It's really effective, man.
It's really effective.
theo von
And so, what they're saying that they don't want you to, why are they doing that?
Because they want to control it?
joe rogan
It's the alcohol lobby.
It's the same people that are trying to keep marijuana illegal in Texas.
It's the alcohol lobby.
This is the fact.
The fact is, when people start smoking weed, they drink less.
And, you know, I mean, it could be because they just decided to get high and not get drunk.
Or it could be that they smoke pot and they get a little paranoid and they go, oh my God, why am I poisoning myself five days a week?
theo von
Well, a lot of people now feel like they're just doing like cocaine and saunas, it seems like.
joe rogan
I don't think they're doing those together.
Maybe in your neighborhood.
theo von
Not in our area.
joe rogan
Maybe it's your town.
theo von
I want my neighbors to know that.
joe rogan
Maybe your neighbors are coming over their underwear with a fucking baggie.
Let's go, Theo.
Let's go.
Let's get that bitch up to 185.
theo von
Let's go.
There's a place.
tim dillon
Throw that water on them rocks.
joe rogan
I'm ready.
I want my nasal cavity to be opened wide.
unidentified
Get that eucalyptus in the air.
theo von
Bro, dude.
The best is, yeah, if you have a good brother or somebody, they say eucalyptus.
joe rogan
Yeah, eucalyptus.
Get the eucalyptus in the air.
theo von
But yeah, I don't know if a lot of people are even drinking that much anymore.
Do you think?
joe rogan
A lot less people are drinking, including me.
But I did have a drink the other night before I went on stage, and I felt great.
Whoa, I haven't done that in a while.
I had a little whiskey before I went on stage.
But I gave up on drinking entirely for many months.
I forget how many months, but it was quite a while where I didn't have a sip of alcohol and I felt way better.
theo von
You did?
joe rogan
Yeah, but I don't think there's anything wrong with moderation.
You know, like when I was in New York, I went to this place, Teresi.
Oh, my God.
theo von
For MSG, you mean?
For the pipes just now?
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
There's this Italian restaurant in New York City called Teresi.
Oh, it's so good.
theo von
Remember that place you took me to?
joe rogan
Oh, yeah, Gaetanos in Vegas.
Oh, so good.
The little bro, all handmade pasta at Gaetanos, man.
theo von
What was that little thing?
It's like a little square little ravioli song.
unidentified
Oh, my God.
joe rogan
Oh, my God, right?
theo von
Like a shingle fell off the roof of heaven and landed in my mouth.
joe rogan
With that sauce, just perfect soft.
And Gaetanos is like a lot of it.
It's like the best ones get their flour from Italy because it doesn't fuck with your stomach.
Our flour's all messed up, man.
Our wheat's messed up.
theo von
Oh, yeah, a lot of our wheat's from Memphis, dude.
A lot of our wheat has like, yeah.
joe rogan
All kinds of pesticides on it.
Glyphosate.
theo von
A lot of it has traps.
joe rogan
It's a trap wheat.
theo von
Yeah, a lot of it has guns.
It's like fucking bullet holes in our wheat.
joe rogan
You can test positive for Coke.
Just from that, just from eating wheat.
Just from having bread.
Do you know how many dollar bills test positive for Coke?
It's some crazy number.
theo von
Yeah, I could imagine that that's probably true.
This guy tests positive, huh?
joe rogan
That's Art.
theo von
Is that y'all stepdad?
joe rogan
No, that's Art Bell.
You don't know who Art Bell is?
Coast to Coast with Art Bell from the Kingdom of Nye.
Yeah, Perrup, Nevada.
That's him.
Yeah, that's Art.
He's the godfather of fun conspiracies.
Yes, he's UFOs.
theo von
The radio station could listen at night.
joe rogan
Dude, he was my nighttime jam coming home from the comedy store.
theo von
I could see that.
joe rogan
Always, because you're coming home from the comedy store.
It's like, you know, one o'clock in the morning and the art coast to coast with art bells on.
The guy calls up, Art, I'm a time traveler.
He had a time traveler hotline.
Yes, he did.
theo von
He could call you.
He was you, you freak.
How many time travelers you've had in here?
joe rogan
Probably a couple.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
At least one.
theo von
A couple that probably can't find their way home to.
joe rogan
At least one.
I've had at least one time travel.
theo von
No, dude, that's you.
I could totally picture it now.
You, like, you get a car with some speakers in it, and you're driving around listening to Art Bell.
joe rogan
Oh, there's a lot of people listening.
He was really popular.
theo von
Oh, no, I know how popular he was, but I mean, at a level where you would bump it with bass.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
theo von
Like, you loved it.
joe rogan
Right, right, right.
Yeah, I loved it.
I loved it.
You know, it's like the perfect stuff to occupy your mind coming home from the comedy store.
theo von
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
Because occasionally it was like real shit.
Like, occasionally he'd have some people talking about some really fascinating things, you know, like asteroid impacts.
And he had Terrence McKenna on a few times.
He had a lot of interesting people.
But then every now and then, he would mix it up with a dude who says he's a werewolf.
And Art would never go, man, you ain't a werewolf.
He would go, interesting.
Tell me more.
He let dudes talk.
He let dudes say the most ridiculous shit.
It was fucking great.
I got to do his show once.
unidentified
I did it.
joe rogan
Yeah, I did it when it was on the radio or on the internet rather.
He wasn't on the radio anymore.
He had an internet radio show for a while.
theo von
Did he know who you were at that point or no?
joe rogan
Yeah.
Yeah, luckily.
But to me, it was like, fuck yeah.
It's like a few things in my life where when I did them, I was like, yes.
You know, that was a big one.
I hung up the phone.
I had a giant fucking smile on my face.
theo von
Yeah.
joe rogan
I just did the Art Bell show, son.
theo von
Dude, that's so cool that that's him.
I can't tell if I can see him better with or without these on.
joe rogan
I think it's psychological.
I'm telling you, those glasses don't do a damn thing.
They don't even change the shape of your face.
You know, sometimes people put them on, and I always go, how blind is this motherfucker?
And I look to the side and I can see like their face caps in like a half a foot because they got giant magnifying glasses over their eyeballs.
But with you, it looks exactly the same.
The line of your face doesn't change at all when you turn side to side.
I think they're fucking with you.
I think they think you're crazy.
And then like, his eyes are perfect.
Just give him some clear lenses.
And you're like, yeah, I think this works.
I think I see better than these.
Y'all got a vape pen.
theo von
Yeah.
Let me hit that vape, homie.
joe rogan
There is something about when people wear them, they look smarter.
theo von
Oh, for sure, dude.
My friend was wearing them the other day, this girl, and I was like, dang, this girl is...
joe rogan
She must be a genius.
theo von
Yeah.
joe rogan
Hot secretary.
Or hot professor, hot lady professor.
theo von
Let me do some homework up in them undies.
That's what I was thinking.
Let me get up in that study hall, baby girl.
joe rogan
Let me get extra credit points.
theo von
Let's go.
Yeah, dude.
joe rogan
But if you're a dumb dude with glasses, that's a bad look.
Because not only are you blind, but you're fucking stupid, too.
theo von
It was like Stephen Avery's cousin, that little fellow that stood by the, like, was grilling hot dogs on that burn barrel.
Remember when they when they're Stephen Avery?
Who's Stephen Avery?
jamie vernon
I mean, Jamie, the murders from the Netflix thing from the, I think it was a Penn Mac, wasn't it?
theo von
Making a murder.
Was that him?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
I can't remember.
What was his case?
theo von
He was a murderer.
Well, they said he was.
Was he?
Yes, he was a murderer.
jamie vernon
He's in jail for it.
theo von
He's in jail for it.
And he had his little cousin.
joe rogan
Oh, this is the guy that's a little mentally challenged.
Yeah, I've read some stuff.
theo von
And his little cousin, that's him.
His shades on.
Brendan Dassey, B. Dassey.
Who's actually, we did a little bit of pin paddling with him, tried to anyway.
joe rogan
What do they think about this?
Do they think that?
jamie vernon
I think he did it.
I think there was like, I believe people said that the Netflix thing got like edited strange and left stuff out.
theo von
That's the thing.
You can't tell what's real anymore.
Who knows?
joe rogan
Well, selective editing is crazy.
It's crazy that they still do that.
theo von
Everything's crazy right now.
joe rogan
I know.
theo von
I mean, I feel like this is the year.
Do you feel like this is the year that people realize that like both of the neither side of the government is working for us?
Is that a weird thing to say?
joe rogan
Well, it's true.
It's pretty obvious that it's true.
unidentified
Okay.
joe rogan
They're all working for the people that got them in.
So no matter what they, even if they're good people that want to do well for you, their obligations when they get in there are the people that help them get in there.
They're the campaign contributors.
They're the military industrial complex, the military contractors, the big money.
Big money banks, big money.
That's what all this government shutdown shit was all about, man.
It's all about health care, right?
So it's all about how much money is getting funneled through these corporations.
If you really think that what they're trying to do is make sure that people get health care, you're fucking naive.
theo von
Yeah, you're ridiculous.
joe rogan
What they're doing is they are protecting some kind of slush fund.
If somebody digs into this and finds out where that money's going and finds out how this money's distributed, it'll make more sense.
Because there ain't a fucking chance in hell that they're keeping the government shut down to protect your health.
There's not a chance.
There's not a chance they're shutting down the fucking air traffic controllers.
Not a chance.
They're shutting down NASA because they're worried about you getting the flu.
That shit is not happening.
That's not what's going on.
theo von
But I think everybody's starting to realize that.
Dude, I went to the post office.
Have you been to the post office recently?
joe rogan
I have not.
theo von
Okay.
joe rogan
Not since I voted.
That was the last time I was at the post office.
theo von
Okay.
Well, it's over.
So if you want to know what the post office is like, dude, I'm not even joking.
I went into the closest branch near me in Nashville.
There was two birds.
There was two crows in there.
One of them was a crow, definitely.
One of them was a pretty big bird, and I thought it was a crow, but he had some discoloration or whatever.
So maybe like a mulatto crow or a mixed crow or something.
I don't know.
joe rogan
Okay.
theo von
Pulling a fucking bot, like fighting over a fucking box in there.
And there's a lady, kind of like a darker woman in there.
And she's spraying fucking Lysol trying to get them out of the fucking post office.
I was like, Lysol.
Yeah, or like a fabuloso, like a cleaning spray.
Like a disinfectant.
joe rogan
Oh, okay.
theo von
Yeah.
joe rogan
Got it.
theo von
Like she's standing on a little stepladder trying to fucking get these two birds who were fighting over a fucking package.
I was like, we're fucked.
We're fucked, man.
That's, and that's the ghost.
joe rogan
Right?
That's biblical.
theo von
Yeah.
I mean, I'm sure it seems like a steam outtake.
unidentified
Yeah.
theo von
You know?
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
theo von
But I'm like, this is where we are.
This is this is how, like, everything's privatized now.
It's a wrap.
Do you feel like it's a wrap?
Like, I've been thinking for years that America just feels like a shell company, like a shell LLC.
joe rogan
Here's the thing about it being privatized.
Some things probably should be privatized because they work better.
theo von
Okay, well, like FedEx came along, UPS came along.
So those came along.
joe rogan
But the post office still does a good job, man.
theo von
I'm going to disagree with that.
I'm sorry.
I never disagree with you, I don't think.
joe rogan
The post office is the only people that are sending letters for you for like 30 cents or whatever it costs.
And then the post office are the only way that you could ship chickens, live chicks, like little baby chicks.
They have to do it through the post office because they know what to do and they keep them alive.
They know they're chicks.
theo von
Ooh, that's nice.
I didn't know that.
joe rogan
We've had chickens, you know, and every chicken we can't, when we get them, they're baby chicks.
theo von
And they come in the mail?
joe rogan
They get them through the post office.
Post office delivers them.
theo von
Can you hear the package like that?
joe rogan
It's like, yeah, bro, the post office, it works.
It's not perfect because it's the government and there's no government programs that are perfect.
theo von
It doesn't work that good anymore, though.
I think it's gotten so bad, dude.
The post office.
joe rogan
Maybe.
theo von
Bro, it's gotten bad.
I sent my niece a birthday card, dude.
She never got it.
She never got it.
It had money.
It's gone.
unidentified
It's gone.
theo von
She'll never get it.
joe rogan
Bro, you know what I was doing?
theo von
Nobody's getting anything.
joe rogan
The videos of these people dropping off UPS packages.
They take a picture of the package and then they steal the package.
I've seen that.
I've seen videos of that.
I think people are kind of hip to what ring cameras could do.
But, bro, there was quite a while where people were doing some really fucking horrible shit right in front of those cameras because they didn't know.
They didn't know.
You can't be just stealing people's packages after you drop them off like the fucking UPS driver.
You know?
theo von
It's a fucking wild thing.
joe rogan
Like a lot of videos of that, man.
They put them down, take a picture, and then they pick them up, take them back to their truck.
theo von
And take it back.
joe rogan
And then the camera's like, hey, fuckface.
theo von
Yeah.
Hey, motherfucker.
joe rogan
Yeah.

Listen, man.
theo von
They should have different like ring cameras, like a voice like, this is Mr. T. You need to bring that package back, sucker.
joe rogan
That is one of the dirtiest things, porch pirates, people that are just stealing shit off your porch.
theo von
To get that close to somebody's house to be right there.
That's one thing I like about living in a state where there is the ability to express something.
unidentified
You're talking about guns bulletarily.
theo von
That's all I like to say.
There's the ability to express something bulletarily to somebody if you disagree, if their behavior is illegal.
joe rogan
Yeah.
You got to be careful about that, though.
The laws are different in different places.
Like, even if someone's stealing something, you're not allowed to kill them.
A guy just got in trouble because some dudes, I think there was three dudes broke into his garage and he went into his garage and they went after him and he shot them and he killed one of them.
And now they're bringing him up for manslaughter.
Because I guess they're saying he didn't have to shoot them.
He could have just scared them or he didn't have to kill them.
He could have just retreated back into his home.
Like in California, they're literally telling them like a.
theo von
Oh, just scared him with a gun, I guess.
joe rogan
I guess, but like, you don't know what they have.
You don't know what's going on.
These are split-second decisions you're making with your life in danger.
And then if you have a wife and children, bro, you're going to shoot first and ask questions later.
You're not going to make a mistake that's going to have your kids killed.
theo von
You keep scared or what?
You can't say that kind of shit.
joe rogan
No, bro, it's scary.
Someone's breaking into your home.
You have no idea what they have.
You have no idea if they're there to kill you.
If you have no idea that they're to rob you, if they're going to duct tape you and torture you for a week, you don't know what the fuck is going on.
And if you have a gun, you're most likely going to use it.
You're going to shoot them.
And the fact that these people broke into his house, they were committing a crime and defending his property and maybe his life.
He's getting charged with manslaughter?
That's ridiculous.
This is the problem with liberal politics.
And this is where I would get really confused because I'm like, I don't know what they're trying to do.
But if I was going to try to destroy civilization, that's how I would do it.
I would keep letting violent people out, keep saying it's racist to keep them in jail, keep saying they're a victim of systematic racism, and just like let the violent people stay being violent.
And then when people defend themselves, lock them up, have everybody scared.
Like if you wanted to destroy society, you would do it exactly this way.
And I don't understand that.
I don't understand.
I understand being a kind, compassionate person doesn't believe in gun violence.
Absolutely.
But if that's the case, like there's no better deterrent to gun violence than someone who has a gun and you can't get to their house because they'll fucking shoot you.
Okay?
Like that's that's a really good deterrent.
Unless you're going to have police everywhere and you don't.
So like who's going to protect people from bad people?
If you're going to admit that bad people exist, if you want to stop bad people from happening, that's a conversation I'd love to have.
That's a real conversation.
Like let's figure out how to clean up a lot of these neighborhoods and figure out what's causing all these problems.
theo von
But nobody wants to do that or it would have been done by now at this point.
People just want to kind of keep these higher powers.
They know what they're doing.
It just starts to feel like the experiment.
Like we're just really seeing the experiment, you know?
It's almost like say you were playing the game Mario or something.
unidentified
Right.
theo von
And one day Mario, instead of just going this way on the screen, he fucking turns and looks at you.
And he's like, I see what you're doing.
That's what it feels like we are right now.
Like we're looking at the people controlling everything.
joe rogan
Yeah.
theo von
Oh.
joe rogan
That's all because of the internet, dog.
theo von
But it feels though.
joe rogan
If it wasn't for the internet, no one would be looking because we wouldn't be getting these conversations.
unidentified
Right.
theo von
We'd still be, we'd still be, people would still be disillusioned.
joe rogan
You'd be getting CNN.
You'd be getting some horseshit version of what's actually going on.
But because of the internet and real independent journalists and people that are breaking things down, you start to go, wait a minute, what the fuck is going on?
Yeah.
Who is doing this?
Why are you doing it?
Want some coffee, dog?
theo von
Can I have some?
joe rogan
Fuck yeah, of course you can.
theo von
Oh, thanks, buddy.
Yeah, man.
joe rogan
I mean, we're the first generation that has had.
Cheers, my brother.
theo von
Cheers, man.
Good to see you, dude.
joe rogan
Good to see you always.
theo von
Really am excited to see you.
joe rogan
I'm excited to see you too.
Always.
theo von
And I'm excited to see you a little clearer than I do.
joe rogan
I don't think you are.
I think they got you.
I think they're fucking with you, man.
I think they're giving you placebos, too.
theo von
Is that really?
joe rogan
Yeah, I think they gave you a take some of whatever pills they give you.
Let's see what happens.
theo von
No, these are 15s, I think.
These are good.
joe rogan
15s?
What does that mean?
theo von
I don't know.
You fucked up.
joe rogan
You fucked up from the coffee gotcha.
theo von
He fucking gave me this molten coffee, dude.
joe rogan
Black rifle in the house.
theo von
Is it?
joe rogan
Always.
That's all we drink.
theo von
Dude, I went.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I'm just at the journalism now.
I know this is too hot for me.
joe rogan
It's not that hot.
theo von
I'm going to need glasses for my tongue after I drink this, dude.
joe rogan
No, it's not.
unidentified
No.
joe rogan
No, it's an illusion.
It's warm.
It's decently hot.
You know, like nice.
Ooh.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Refreshing.
Yeah, like refreshing.
Not like ouchy.
Why can't Starbucks figure that out?
theo von
Because I don't even think that's coffee anymore.
It's almost become like McDonald's.
It's just a, it's a, it's burnt.
It's a taste.
It's just a thing.
joe rogan
I drink black coffee.
That's what I drink.
That's what I like.
I got into it a while ago.
theo von
Like your shit, like Rick Ross brought to like Ricky Ross.
joe rogan
You know what I got into it, Jamie?
Remember when we had that guy, Peter Giuliani, on?
That was the coffee connoisseur?
That got me into.
I started drinking black coffee from then on.
That was a long time ago, at least 10 years ago, right?
I had a real coffee connoisseur on.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Because I wanted to know all about coffee.
theo von
Like a samoyer kind of?
unidentified
Yeah, man.
joe rogan
Dude, it's fat.
He brought in a bunch of different coffees.
We were tasting like these Ethiopian blends that almost was like lemony.
He was like, you taste the hints of lemon?
theo von
I'm like, I do.
joe rogan
Did you know all coffee comes from Ethiopia?
theo von
Uh-uh.
Yes.
Some of it comes, I know, from there's Kona coffee, isn't there?
joe rogan
Right.
But it all originated in Ethiopia.
That's where the plant originated.
theo von
Oh, wow.
joe rogan
Yeah.
So they moved it into South America.
So like they started making it in Colombia.
They make it in Hawaii.
It has bomb diggity coffee.
Kona coffee is some of the best coffee in the world.
I guess probably the soil.
theo von
We were also in Hawaii.
If I fucking drink my own piss in Hawaii, I'm still, it's a little better than if I'm drinking it and fucking outside of Akron.
You know what I'm saying?
joe rogan
It's like Akron.
Smokestacks in the background.
They're drinking a liter of piss before you get into sauna with your neighbor.
before I get a little bag for my someone's got a urine therapy protocol that you have to take with your cocaine Yeah.
theo von
Bro, even a hot match of piss in Hawaii tastes way better.
joe rogan
That's so true.
But I drink it in America.
Like I used to order Kona coffee.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
But yeah, before I went Black Rifle exclusive.
theo von
Yeah.
Well, I met the guy from Black Rifle Evidence.
joe rogan
Oh, Evan.
He's a good friend of mine.
theo von
Nice guy.
joe rogan
I love him to death.
theo von
Yeah, he took me around whenever I was there.
joe rogan
He's one of my absolute favorite people.
Oh, I'm wearing one of his shirts.
Look at that dog.
theo von
He treated me super well, dude.
joe rogan
He's the best.
theo von
Dude, somebody said, oh, Candace Owens sent me that thing.
It was.
joe rogan
You got notes?
theo von
She sent.
joe rogan
You brought notes.
theo von
There's things I wanted to talk about so I could get them.
It's been hard for me to remember stuff.
joe rogan
Okay.
theo von
So.
joe rogan
I'll help you out.
theo von
You will?
joe rogan
Yeah.
theo von
Yeah.
joe rogan
You get some alpha brain.
Take some.
Have you ever?
Do you ever take vitamins for your brain?
unidentified
Nope.
joe rogan
It works.
theo von
I will take some.
joe rogan
Yeah, you should have some.
There's a bunch of different kinds.
You should try what you like.
But another real good one is this company, Neuro Gum.
They make Neuro Gum and Neuromints.
theo von
I've heard you talk about it.
joe rogan
That's really good.
There's one called True Brain.
They make a little shot.
That's really good.
theo von
Magic Mind, I know, has one that I think is pretty good.
joe rogan
That's a different one.
That's a different kind.
They use mushrooms, but that's a good one, too.
I think synergistically they would all work well together, but there's legit vitamins that work on your brain.
theo von
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, that work on your memory.
theo von
Yeah, I want to, yeah.
Yeah, I'll probably.
joe rogan
I'll give you some before we leave.
I have some Alpha Brain black label around here somewhere.
I definitely have a few bottles in the kitchen, but that's the best.
Alphabrain, I've tried them all, even though I know I'm associated with Alpha Brain on it, and I'm probably lying.
I'm not.
I tell you about all the other ones.
I don't make a penny off of them.
But Alpha Brain, I think, is the best one.
It's the most effective.
And it's the only one that I know of that did two double-blind placebo-controlled studies with the Boston Center for Memory.
theo von
Alpha Brain?
joe rogan
Yeah.
So we did that because a lot of people were saying it was snake oil.
theo von
The Boston Center for Memory.
Like, how many hits did you close?
unidentified
I had a buddy in 2001.
theo von
You know?
unidentified
What year did the socks make it into the series?
theo von
Dude, one time I was going into a show.
We were outside of Ball.
We had a show.
Outside of Boston, there's like a theater.
It's like 15, 20 minutes away.
And I'm walking in.
I'm walking in late.
Everybody's already in there.
I think the show had started, and so I'm coming in.
And a guy and his wife were walking by with pizza.
They're heading in.
And the guy's like, Dorothy, give him your fucking pizza.
The guy's starving.
He's late for work.
And I'm like, I'm fine.
And first of all, why don't you just give me your pizza, dude?
He's like, Dorothy, this kind of like kind of big back lady.
She said that it's muffling down a piece of pizza.
joe rogan
He was trying to get you to give her pizza.
theo von
His wife to give me her pizza.
joe rogan
But not his pizza.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Interesting.
That's a bad relationship.
theo von
He's like, Dorothy, can't you see the guy?
He's running late for work.
joe rogan
He's trying to tell his wife he's fat and he's doing it in a subtle way.
theo von
Well, he was using me.
So I'm like, Dorothy, I'm fine.
You know?
joe rogan
Yeah, he was using you.
theo von
But it was just like this Boston thing.
joe rogan
Or he was just trying to have some conversation.
It might have been that.
Maybe we're looking into it too much.
theo von
Dude, I had a dream you were in EMT, dude.
Have you ever had that?
unidentified
Really?
joe rogan
You had a dream I was an EMT?
theo von
Yeah, I've had it two times.
joe rogan
Really?
I was like tending to car accidents and stuff?
theo von
Yeah.
joe rogan
Really?
theo von
And I think it was in Boston.
I think that's what even made me think about it.
joe rogan
I could have gone down that route in life, maybe, if things had been different.
That's possible.
I could have saw that.
That could have happened.
I almost joined the Army when I was 18 for the Taekwondo team.
There was a dude.
God, I think his name is Clay Barber.
He was one of the national competitors that I looked up to when I was on my way up, and he was in the Army.
And he had like the Army paid him to train.
And I was like, oh, shit, you could join the Army and they'll pay you to compete.
You know, because they had an Army boxing team.
Like, I believe Ray Mercer was on the Army boxing team when he fought in the Olympics and won the gold medal.
theo von
Do you have to be, but do you also have, like, do you have to do service as well?
Is that him?
joe rogan
No, he was a black guy.
Oh, there's that seat that Taekwondo says right there to the right.
Yeah, the one with the right where it says his name right there.
Click on that.
jamie vernon
Which one are you looking at?
joe rogan
The one that your cursor's over, dog.
Clay Barber, right there.
Yeah.
So he was really good in like, I guess it was probably like 86 or yeah, somewhere around, I was 18, so it had to be 85 or 86.
theo von
Ooh, baby girl.
joe rogan
But that's the dude right there.
He was an elite national competitor in my weight class.
theo von
He'll kick a fucking whisper out of your mouth.
That dude's a gangster, huh?
joe rogan
Yeah, he was really good.
But he was competing for the Army team.
And so I was like, maybe I should join the Army.
And then I thought about it.
I was like, I don't want to get shot.
Like, what am I doing?
Like, I don't trust anybody.
theo von
Did you try on the clothes at home or anything?
Did you do anything?
joe rogan
No, I didn't try the clothes.
I included in the mirror a couple times.
I'm like, no, we're good.
theo von
Yeah, dude.
Yeah.
I guess I don't know if I can see you being in the army.
But yeah, it was just a dream.
It was just, I think it was like you honestly, I think it was like you and Goggins.
I think we're maybe like EMTs or whatever.
joe rogan
That sounds like something Goggins would do.
theo von
But y'all did not fucking, you guys did not deal with anybody's bullshit.
Like, you guys showed up and you were like, get the fuck up.
unidentified
You're like, what the fucking pussy?
I don't even think you had any, like, I don't think you had even a static.
theo von
You had like a whistle.
unidentified
You're like, bullshit.
joe rogan
You know what Goggins does that a lot of people don't know about?
He smoke jumps.
theo von
Oh, really?
joe rogan
Yeah.
theo von
Like, for smoke and play high school basketball.
joe rogan
That's very different.
It's very different.
He parachutes into fires.
theo von
Oh, yeah.
That's not it.
joe rogan
Like in Canada.
theo von
For fun?
joe rogan
Because it's hard.
theo von
Oh.
joe rogan
Literally.
Because it's hard to do.
Dude's worth like $30 million.
He jumps out of fucking planes with parachutes.
And he sent me a photo of a giant ass fucking grizzly track.
They landed in Canada at this place.
And right where they landed to fight these fires, he was like, I mean, like a grizzly track.
And he was like, wish me luck.
tim dillon
I was like, dude, get the fuck out of there.
joe rogan
Have you seen that track?
Get the fuck out of there.
That's an 1100-pound wild dog.
unidentified
Wow.
theo von
And he just does it because he wants to.
joe rogan
Because it's hard to do.
theo von
You're landing just in the smoke.
joe rogan
Yeah.
theo von
Now, when you get in there, do they have a plan of where you're going?
Is it fire?
It's firemen and firewomen in there.
joe rogan
Well, there's a lot of different tasks that they do, but one of them is you're digging a fire break.
So you did, like, a lot of what happens is embers land on the ground, and then that starts a fire, right?
So what they do is they'll clear the ground for a wide area where the fire is coming.
So the fire's on its way.
They'll get ahead of the fire and then they'll clear a giant path on the ground.
theo von
Girl, that would scare me.
joe rogan
It's scary.
theo von
That would scare me.
joe rogan
Guys die.
I mean, they 100%, they get trapped and they die.
The wind shifts.
You know, sometimes things are unpredictable, but he does it just because it's hard.
He's so crazy.
theo von
Does he have to sign a con?
He must have to sign something, huh?
joe rogan
Bro, I don't know what he does.
I bet he doesn't even tell him he's David Goggins.
He just shows up.
I'm telling you, man, he's a different cat.
Like, he's the real deal.
Like, he's not pretending to do all these things.
theo von
Right.
joe rogan
You seen those videos where he takes UFC fighters on workouts and they're dying?
Like, he took Israel out of Sonia.
Israel out of Sonia.
Two-time middleweight motherfucking champion of the world.
One of the best to ever do it.
Elite athlete.
Dying.
I mean, couldn't keep up.
Goggins was talking to him.
Like, come on, son, keep going.
He's like, he's throwing up in a garbage can.
Like, no bullshit.
It's crazy to watch because you realize like the level of conditioning this guy has.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
He's 50 years old.
He's not doing it for any reason.
Like, he's not getting ready for the World Series.
He's not in the Super Bowl.
unidentified
What do you think he's proven it to himself?
joe rogan
You'd have to ask him.
I mean, he says he's learning things.
I'm downloading lessons.
Like, yeah, he's just, he's that guy, man.
Like, there's a lot of, what is that?
jamie vernon
I found the tracks.
unidentified
Sorry.
joe rogan
What is it?
jamie vernon
The tracks.
The grizzly tracks.
joe rogan
Oh, show me.
Show me.
I sent it to you, right?
Yeah, it's on my phone.
Puts the headphones on.
unidentified
All right.
joe rogan
Check this out.
jamie vernon
Hang on one sec.
theo von
Show me, show me, show me.
Remember that song?
joe rogan
Yeah.
The one that makes me scream.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah.
chuck schumer
The cure.
theo von
The cure, yeah.
They were good on they passed away, huh?
joe rogan
Did they?
theo von
I think before they yeah.
joe rogan
I don't think, well, there's multiple members.
Did that guy pass away that leads to the cures?
The cure, rather?
What's the matter, Jamie?
jamie vernon
Well, I had it on my phone.
I didn't have it on my computer.
unidentified
Oh, yeah, and I jumped the gun.
theo von
Dude, if you were to do it.
joe rogan
Why don't you send it to me and I'll send it to you?
And you'll have it on your computer.
jamie vernon
I found it on the.
theo von
Dude, if you were in EMT, that'd be sick, huh?
joe rogan
I think it's a bummer, man.
theo von
I don't even think you'd get out of the vehicle.
You'd pull up and be like, get the fuck up.
joe rogan
I'd probably be.
theo von
And then Goggins would go help him.
Coggins would be like, get the fuck up, you little pussy.
jamie vernon
Don't know how to make this.
joe rogan
Just send it to me and I'll send it to you.
jamie vernon
There it is.
joe rogan
Here it is.
That's good.
Give me some volume.
Look at that.
unidentified
See this grizzly bear prince, man?
Oh, God.
Damn, these motherfuckers dude, as big as my foot.
They're fucking cute.
This is a massive fucking grizzly bear.
joe rogan
Look at that, dude.
unidentified
Massive fucking grizzly bear.
joe rogan
Look at that paw.
That's crazy.
unidentified
This is fucking a massive ass grizzly bear.
And as you see.
theo von
Where's it going?
unidentified
He walks right through there to those woods.
theo von
Probably over the mountain.
unidentified
We're in big-time grizzly bear territory.
joe rogan
Bro.
That's so sketchy.
theo von
That's cool.
joe rogan
That's so sketchy.
He sent me that.
Yeah.
Because I was like, what are you doing?
He sends me that.
This is what I feel like.
theo von
Other people are like, I'm watching football.
unidentified
That's right.
theo von
Yeah.
joe rogan
He's like, I just fucking parachuted into grizzly country.
Oh, man.
There's nothing scarier than big animals like that.
Nothing scarier.
theo von
I get the most scared, honestly, in my life.
When I was young, they had like a lot of pedophiles in our area, and I think that kind of like made me nervous, but probably being in the ocean.
joe rogan
You had a lot of pedophiles in your neighborhood?
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
Look how many?
theo von
I mean, I think at least three is enough for like a small area.
joe rogan
Three is more than enough.
theo von
Yeah.
joe rogan
How come nobody did anything about it?
theo von
They did.
I mean, they put them in our neighborhood.
joe rogan
That's not what I mean.
I mean, how come nobody arrested them?
theo von
Oh, they'd been arrested.
unidentified
Yeah.
theo von
These were guys who were like released.
Yeah, they used to have this thing.
Remember when they had this?
Well, I wonder when that rule was.
It was like the pedophiles had to go around door to door.
joe rogan
Oh, and let everybody know.
theo von
No, that were pedophiles, right?
joe rogan
Right.
That was a law that they passed.
You had to alert people that a sex offender had moved into the neighborhood.
theo von
Well, we lived, our mom worked all the time, and we were just at home all the time.
So you'd have pedophiles literally come to the door.
joe rogan
And let you know.
unidentified
Yeah.
theo von
And like, is your mom home?
And be like, no.
And they're like, well, I'm a pedophile.
You're like, well, that's a problem.
Come back after six, you know?
But so it was just crazy.
Like, you know, but then at least you did know who the people were.
But it was definitely weird that you're setting, and they don't live in nice neighborhoods.
You know, like now there's a lot of like billionaire pedophiles that our government protects and stuff.
But back then.
joe rogan
You really think so?
theo von
I don't know.
joe rogan
I don't know either.
That's what makes me nervous.
I don't know.
theo von
I mean, they just had that thing that came out about the Trump Epstein thing.
That whole thing's just a kickball at this point, I feel like.
joe rogan
Bro, have you ever seen that video of me and Tim Dylan where Tim Dylan is laying out the scandal that took place in like, was it the 1970s, Jamie?
The Franklin scandal.
What year was that?
jamie vernon
I think in the 80s and 90s.
joe rogan
Bro.
theo von
We all dressed up like astronauts or something?
Was that that one?
joe rogan
Me and Tim Dillon?
unidentified
No.
joe rogan
Well, no, we're dressed normal.
unidentified
Okay.
joe rogan
I don't even think he had the crazy glasses on back then.
That was before he was protecting his eyes.
Now he protects his eyes.
88.
Play that video.
I sent it to you, right?
This video is nuts, man.
Tim laid this out quite a while ago, and I kind of forgot about it until it popped up on my feet.
I was like, oh, shit.
And then I said, I can send it back to you if you meet.
theo von
Thank God for Tim Dylan.
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
He's the best.
There's never been a better ranter ever in the history of ranting.
theo von
Ever.
joe rogan
Ever.
theo von
Since who?
I bet there was somebody a long time ago that was good, but we don't have enough of his work to really compete against Tim.
joe rogan
He's the funniest by far.
He's the most sarcastic, the most tongue-in-cheek, and the most well-read.
theo von
Yes.
joe rogan
The thing about Tim Dylan is like he doesn't just go with narratives because he thinks that you want him to say certain things.
You know what I mean?
Like he's very, very well read.
And he forms his opinions based on facts and then turns it into humor.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
He's the fucking man.
Play this.
tim dillon
It was a scandal out of Omaha, Nebraska, the Franklin Credit Union, where there was a guy who was embezzling money and then he was being investigated for that.
But they said he has all this money because he's running an interstate pedophile network and he's pandering kids to people in Washington, D.C. and New York.
And there was a headline in the Washington Post or the Washington Times that were like, callboys get a tour of the Reagan White House.
unidentified
Unidentified White House aides in the Carter, Reagan, and Bush administrations now are being investigated for using the services of a callboy ring.
Paper reports that two of the male prostitutes were given a late-night tour of the White House last year.
tim dillon
And, you know, this was a scandal with real victims who wanted to testify, and then people started dying.
You know, the private investigator they hired, his plane broke up.
One of the girls that testified was found guilty of perjury and that she was put in solitary confinement.
They had to use two grand juries in Omaha to get rid of this scandal.
And it's one of the, now it's not as sexy as like a pizza gate or something because it happened in the 80s and 90s, but this shows you the blueprint for the government, you know, using marshalling resources to silence people that were victims of this stuff.
This is not new.
Congressman, senators, black mail being used by intelligence agencies.
None of it's new.
It was pioneered by the mafia.
You having sex with somebody who's underage, then they own you forever if they have photo, audio, video of you doing that.
joe rogan
Wild.
Wild.
So if that existed at all in the 1990s, okay, that Mitch McConnell guy was around back then.
You know, a lot of these Nancy Pelosi type people, they've been around since this photos of Nancy Pelosi with JFK.
Think of that.
That was before we didn't go to the moon.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
It was 1963.
theo von
That was before Israel didn't kill him.
joe rogan
You think so?
theo von
I didn't say anything.
joe rogan
I heard you say Israel killed him.
theo von
You did?
joe rogan
That's what I heard.
theo von
Jamie, did you put something in this?
jamie vernon
They didn't.
joe rogan
The glasses.
jamie vernon
It didn't do it.
joe rogan
Oh, before Israel didn't do it.
Oh, I see what you did.
I think.
theo von
I didn't say anything.
joe rogan
I think Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.
theo von
Lee Harvey Oswald went to my middle school.
Do you know that?
No.
Yep.
joe rogan
What?
No shit.
Was there a plaque?
theo von
No, we did have a thing.
There was a thing.
joe rogan
That everybody recognized.
theo von
LHO, yeah.
And they named it.
joe rogan
LHO.
theo von
Lee Harvey Oslo.
joe rogan
You guys called him?
Yeah.
Like L. Ron Hubbard.
LHR, they all salute L. Ron Hubbard, salute LHR with the big, ever see Tom Cruise with the big pie plate medal?
He got a medal for being the most awesome guy ever.
He did, yeah, from Scientology.
And he salutes the photo of a science fiction writer.
Bro, it's the kookiest thing.
theo von
You never see pie plate?
joe rogan
Bro, they even have the Scientology Awards?
theo von
Nuh.
They're eating a lot of desserts, really.
They're amazing.
joe rogan
They're amazing.
theo von
I didn't even look at that.
joe rogan
Look at that popular.
unidentified
Look at the Times.
joe rogan
See this.
unidentified
Okay.
These are the times we will all remember.
Were you there?
What did you do?
I think you know that I am there for you.
And I do care.
So very, very, very much.
theo von
What is this about?
Is this a Marie Calendar's ad?
joe rogan
Bro, what this is is amazing.
unidentified
Just watch it.
theo von
Okay.
unidentified
Here's where counting on you.
To LRH.
joe rogan
To LRH.
unidentified
Wow.
theo von
Crazy, right?
joe rogan
Bro, you want a mission impossible guy?
You want that guy?
That's what you get.
Okay.
You don't get a normal dude who's that good at acting.
You got a fucking crazy person.
theo von
Who's that good at being himself?
joe rogan
With a pie plate around his neck, a golden pie plate for being the most awesome guy ever.
And he salutes a science fiction author, who's, by the way, one of the worst writers in the history of writing.
theo von
L. Ron.
I've done the thing in New York where they try to electrocute you and see if you care about him or whatever.
joe rogan
Oh, I got that.
theo von
You know what I'm talking about?
joe rogan
I did that in San Diego.
unidentified
You did?
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
theo von
When?
joe rogan
I was filming a TV show down there, and we were in the middle of a break while we're filming.
And they had like a conference table set up.
It was like free personality test.
And I was like, what is this?
And I kind of knew what it was.
I knew it was Dianetics, which is Scientology.
But the guy was like, they made him do it.
You could tell he was not enthusiastic at all about it.
You know, he would ask you questions about like, has one of your pets died?
Like that kind of shit.
He hold his e-meter and it would just.
I'm like, how does this work?
Like, what is actually making this happen?
You know, I had all these questions that he had no answers for.
And then I started.
theo von
Of course, you did.
That's your whole life.
joe rogan
L. Ron Hubbard wrote more fiction than any human being that's ever lived.
He wrote more things that were not true, more published fiction than any human being in the history of all human beings.
That guy, the guy that created Scientology.
And you know how he did it?
It was all terrible.
He never wrote a second draft.
Everything was just nonsense.
theo von
One hit wonder?
joe rogan
One hit wonder.
theo von
It's just starved though.
joe rogan
He's just typing.
Brave.
He was nuts.
He was out of his mind.
theo von
But people liked it enough, though.
joe rogan
Did you ever see that show?
They didn't, though.
He wasn't successful until he really started.
I mean, he was.
He did a lot of those goofy magazines and stuff.
This is a long time ago.
Yeah.
But then once he started religion, that's when things took off.
That's when he started making money.
He gave himself a bunch of awards, too.
You ever see, like, he had a jacket and he had like all these awards on his chest that he had given himself.
theo von
That's crazy.
joe rogan
They love to give awards.
theo von
That's like the golden globes or whatever.
joe rogan
Yeah, same thing.
theo von
You know, it really is.
joe rogan
They give themselves awards for being the most awesome people.
theo von
How crazy?
I mean, that whole, it's all fucking weird.
But that's what I'm like all of these balls of yarn that used to feel like they made so much sense and they kept us warm and they gave us senses of purpose.
I feel like all of them are becoming unraveled, but it makes me wonder what's going to happen now.
Are we because these are a lot of things that have felt like some of the blueprints of our existence, you know?
joe rogan
You know what makes me nervous?
theo von
Does that make any sense to you when I say that?
joe rogan
100%.
theo von
Because that's kind of what I guess I'm most scared about.
I think, like, even this year, it's like some of my sense of purpose or like I just worry that other people don't have a sense of purpose or what's going on.
And it makes me kind of scared sometimes.
joe rogan
Well, that's a good perspective, and I think it's accurate.
What makes me nervous is the people that are not aware that all of our assumptions of how the government works were all based on bullshit.
The people that still believe, that are like true believers of one side or the other, true faith in government and experts, those people make me more nervous because some of them are smart.
That's what's crazy.
When smart people are completely unwilling to recognize that conspiracies are not just real, but they're also not rare.
They're very common.
They're common and people get away with them.
Especially when they're in positions of extreme power, like running intelligence agencies.
And there's a lot of things that they do that are morally reprehensible, but totally legal.
Like they can do it because they're allowed to because they are a three-letter organization and they have ultimate power to do a lot of like really gross things that are in the nature or in the interest of national security.
So like this is the whole idea behind it.
They say like this is our decision.
This is the best move for national security.
This is how we compromise assets.
This is how we gather information.
This is how we keep America safe.
theo von
But they're not our F. Why is it our FBI and CIA are working against us?
That's what it feels like.
joe rogan
They're just tricking us about everything it feels like they're tricking some people um on purpose Why is that even their goal like I thought that they because they're trying to arrest people So this is the problem with your career.
And this has been explained to me by a lot of people that are experts and people that know.
John Caracow explained it this way.
Your reputation is based on how successful you have been arresting people, cracking cases.
And so people set up cases so they can break them.
They basically set up an escape room and they're like, I don't know how to get out of here.
And they pretend that they're just like a regular wizard that stumbled into the escape room.
No, you set the whole thing up.
theo von
Yeah, that's what it is.
Well, it's the same as.
joe rogan
There's a bunch of those stories.
theo von
Oh, I think it's the same as even with like Hollywood.
And, you know, I remember one day I was walking in the Century City Mall over there.
It's in Los Angeles.
It's off of Santa Monica Boulevard.
And there was a like a blue-collar guy walking by.
He was working construction.
They were building something there.
And I was like, he's like, Theo, what's up, man?
So we're talking for a minute.
And I was like, what are y'all building?
He's like, dude, you're never even going to believe this.
We're building.
He's like, 10 floors, 20 floor building.
10 floors are talent agency, and the other 10 floors are for the CIA.
And I was like, what?
I was like, just in the same building, just happened to be, that's what you're building.
He's like, yep, that's what we're building.
And he wasn't lying.
I don't think he was lying to me.
It just seemed like a, it was just a weird mixture.
joe rogan
Yeah.
theo von
Right, but I think that this starts to happen.
News stories get created, right?
Things get, whether they're fiction or whatever goes on.
You don't even know a lot of times what's news stories.
You can send actors out to create a scene.
You see a video, you believe it.
And then they make movies.
joe rogan
It's been done before.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
And it's been done before.
theo von
Oh, yeah.
But then you see movies and stuff come out later about it.
So it's like you're almost creating your own news to then make like a based on a real story.
You know what I'm talking about?
Like it's all to say.
joe rogan
I guess.
Yeah.
Like they let the talent agencies know that they're about to do this so you can start casting the dramatic.
theo von
It makes sense.
Because it's like, then you're just, you're.
joe rogan
Oh, God.
theo von
But it's just like, what do we do?
joe rogan
Well, they've been doing this forever.
They've been doing this forever.
And, you know, they've been shaping our views of war.
And, you know, that's one of the reasons why they started making all these war movies.
Do you know that?
Okay.
So in World War I, one of the problems that they had was people didn't want to be over there killing people.
And so people were shooting, but they weren't shooting at the actual enemy.
They would like shoot over their heads or shoot to the left of them or to the right of them.
They didn't want to kill people.
And they realized like that you take people, just regular people from the city and from the farm and put them in a uniform and tell them they have to go kill people.
This is no YouTube back then, no television back then.
Right.
So their ideas of what's right and wrong are all based on their life, their actual life.
And so then they realize, well, we've got to do something about that.
And so after that, they started creating all these really patriotic war movies where the guys are heroes.
They go over and they shoot all the bad guys and then they're awesome.
So then the next group of people that go to war are all going to be indoctrinated with these films.
And these films are that America's the best and we're number one.
We're going to go over there and this is how you get all the girls.
You'd be a fucking hero and go over there and shoot those Germans.
theo von
Yeah, and come back and play with a tit.
joe rogan
Yeah, exactly.
Come back and get rid of like a fucking cowboy.
Yeah, woo.
theo von
Tits will be here when you get off the boat.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Baby girl.
And that's what they did.
You see that?
And, I mean.
theo von
Makes sense.
For sure.
And it's your advertising.
joe rogan
The CIA and various federal organizations have a say in how America's portrayed in movies, right?
It's like if you're going to get access to, if you're going to do some film on the Pentagon or something like that, you bet, bitch, this better make us look good.
You know, they're not going to let you make them look like a bunch of bumbling fucking retards that are just doing it for their career.
No, you better make us look good.
You can't fake what the Pentagon is, bitch.
And you're like, okay, sir.
unidentified
Tell me how you'd like Mr. Cruz to talk about his work.
joe rogan
And you'd make them look like the most awesome human beings that have ever been.
So that way you want to support them, you want to fund them, and you want to listen to them when they're talking on the news.
theo von
Well, in a lot of the projects, I think they have to have people from these organizations that come and oversee how the organization is presented, right?
So it's like if you want to do something where the Navy's involved, you have to have people there from the Navy that are overseeing it and making sure that everything is presented to be true to the Navy, but also there could be maybe some manipulation there.
But we just had Gary Sinese's on the podcast, man.
It was really cool.
joe rogan
Oh, he's cool.
theo von
Dude, if you ever want to donate to something where people do, man, wasn't it just an impressive his whole organization?
joe rogan
What is he doing?
theo von
Well, he does a lot of stuff for veterans, right?
He does a lot of stuff for first responders, you know, or EMTs.
He does a lot of stuff for, he does this thing where they take kids who have lost a parent in military action.
He takes them to Disney World every year, like this big group of them, you know.
But just like really does it, you know?
Like he has a band that plays.
There's a bunch of organizations.
He was like one of the first responders out there feeding people, feeding the first responders who were there at the Palisades when that happened.
Just like a lot of neat stuff, you know.
Take care.
joe rogan
Did you ever think you'd be in the position you're in where you're just having all these weird conversations with interesting people?
Because this is not like...
unidentified
No.
joe rogan
When I first met you, I would have never suspected that this would be a path that you would go down.
theo von
Yeah, not at all.
joe rogan
You know, it's interesting that you went down that.
Like, what led you to want to start doing that?
theo von
Well, I think a couple of things.
I think, well, I think I didn't know I was kind of competitive in some ways.
You know, like, I think I'm kind of competitive.
Like, I want to see what's possible that's maybe inside of me.
joe rogan
So competitive with yourself or competitive with other people that are also doing it?
theo von
Just competitive because I think there was, I felt like maybe some people thought this thing like, oh, this guy can't do it.
joe rogan
You know, interesting.
theo von
I don't think that's, I think there were some people that were maybe like, oh, I'm surprised that this guy enjoys this or likes doing it.
But I think there was like, yeah, this guy can't do it.
And I just never had a voice when I was a kid, you know?
I never had a voice.
Like, you know, so much of my childhood, I think I just couldn't even speak up for myself.
I didn't even know I wanted to say.
I didn't even know what my feelings were, right?
I just, I was just like this.
I just, it, it just felt tough, you know?
And so I think when, yeah, when I started to kind of get into podcasting and have a little bit more of a voice, and then to get to talk to some people that I felt like were important that weren't getting voices.
Like even like we had a doctor from Gaza on last year or this year.
And that was like a moment for me.
I was like, oh, this is important stuff.
You know, like other people aren't putting this voice out there, right?
Some people are, but like the mainstream media, I don't feel like was doing a good job of it.

They never figured out that, hey, there's a lot of people that are in their car for hours every day.
They're on the train for hours every day.
They're in the gym.
They're doing different stuff where they want to listen to things.
Or when they come home, they don't want to watch late night TV.
They want to watch an interesting conversation.
You know?
theo von
Yeah.
joe rogan
That just, they didn't know that that was a thing.
That's all that was.
We snuck in.
I think we snuck in.
I think they had no idea.
They thought this was just shitty radio.
theo von
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know?
theo von
And I think my whole life, I think people looked at me and thought, oh, this dude's just fucking shitty radio.
Or I felt like that in a way, you know?
joe rogan
Well, I think like I still think it is.
theo von
My show, I mean, look, I feel lucky to have a show.
We work hard, you know, with podcasting.
I feel lucky to get to talk to a lot of people.
I don't think we do a lot of information type of stuff, you know, and I wish we could do better with that sometimes.
I think maybe that's a goal of mine next year is to try to learn more stuff just in the day-to-day so I can have conversations that are maybe more important.
But then also, maybe that's not what I'm supposed to do.
And I'm just supposed to be just having conversations that are fun.
joe rogan
And so it's what you're supposed to do if that's what you want to do.
But what I think is the only important thing, the only important thing, is what you want to do.
Yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
To be genuinely curious about whatever you're talking about.
theo von
I agree.
joe rogan
You know, and then hopefully be talking to someone who's telling the truth.
That's where it gets weird.
Now, sometimes people will be charismatic and they'll be very persuasive, but it turns out they have an agenda and they're not telling the truth.
And you might not know that.
That becomes a problem.
theo von
Yeah, I really.
Some people are taking advantage of the fact that they'll come on.
And sometimes I've been a little bit naive to think that somebody would do that, but people do do that.
joe rogan
Oh, 100%.
Like heads of state, you know?
Like, if you're going to have someone who's the president of a country that's in the middle of a war and they want to come on your podcast and talk, you're not going to get anything objective.
You're going to get them selling that they're the good guys.
And that's weird.
That's a weird one because unless you're an absolute expert in what is going on in that region and you know exactly what's true and what's not, and there's two very compelling and very loud narratives.
You know, good luck.
Good luck sorting out that conversation.
I'm not interested in having those conversations.
I am interested in having conversations with people that I think are intriguing, you know, that I think are being honest.
And whether I agree with them or not, they're being honest and they're intriguing.
That's what I like.
theo von
Yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
theo von
And I think some of that is me learning a little bit more.
I mean, I think I do like having stuff where people have more feelings and their stories about stuff, you know?
So that's something that I would maybe like to focus on more next year.
Like people's genuine, genuine human experiences, you know?
Like a guy or a woman or a kid, somebody who's been through something, you know, wants to share some of that.
joe rogan
Right.
theo von
So maybe that's something I'll try to get into a little bit more.
I don't know.
But yeah, I just feel lucky.
Like my mom listens to my podcast every week.
You know, and we never got to spend any time together when I was a kid.
So sometimes that kind of even keeps me going, you know?
It's like she's like our biggest fan.
And so it's weird.
joe rogan
It's got to make her proud.
theo von
It was just so weird when I was a kid, like she didn't have any time.
And then now she just like, you know, she loves him.
unidentified
Yeah.
theo von
So I think, yeah, I don't know.
And it's like just afforded me a lot of like just neat opportunities.
Yeah, sometimes talking to people, like we got to learn about like the healthcare last year and how, you know, a lot of these political parties have put forward these like these presidential, what's it called when they sign something like this is an order, like an executive order, right?
That price transparency needs to happen with healthcare, right?
And so that was something that I realized was super important to me because like Bernie Sanders agrees with it, Trump agrees with it, Thomas Massey agrees with it, Rogue Kahn agrees with it.
There's all these people that say they agree with it and everybody says, but it never really gets to where it needs to be, right?
So you can go to a place and a hospital can charge you anything for an MRI, right?
They're supposed to show their prices like a menu.
And if they do that, then they have to compete.
You could call two places.
This person's like, well, it's $30,000.
And this person's like, no, it's $700.
So you're going to go there.
But they keep it vague so they can keep the prices really high and then they can keep this whole insurance rigmarole going on.
joe rogan
Well, they're private corporations.
That's what's nuts.
And the private companies own hospitals.
They're private.
theo von
So that's probably why they're hoping.
joe rogan
Yeah, hoping they're there for your best interest.
What they're there is to make the most money possible.
And one of the ways they do that is they're incentivized to give you certain medications financially.
Financially incentivized to give you certain pharmaceutical products and they make more money if they do that.
I had Mary Tally Bowden on the podcast.
She's a respiratory physician.
And she, doctor, whatever it is, she was saying that if she vaccinated all of her patients, she has a very small practice.
She vaccinated all of her patients for COVID, she'd have made $1.5 million.
Wow.
Like that's motivation.
Like that's not someone's not going to, they're not going to give you objective advice unless they're a really good person like she is.
They're not going to give you objective advice.
What they're going to say is, hey, they say you should take it.
I say you should take it too because I want to go golfing.
theo von
Yeah.
joe rogan
I want a BMW and I want to go golfing.
So take it.
theo von
I don't care if you're in a fucking wheelchair in three weeks.
At a myocarditis.
joe rogan
I want an M5.
I've got it picked out already.
I want the carbon interior, carbon fiber accents.
It's a trap.
theo von
It's a trap.
But learning about that kind of stuff, things like that used to be like, oh, this is a little cause that means something to me, you know?
Because then you think there are people probably right now that are afraid to go get health care because, and then it messes up your credit, right?
Like the number one cause of bankruptcy in America is medical debt.
Yep.
I think that's crazy.
joe rogan
It's crazy.
theo von
So now you're in debt and now there's the stress of that.
joe rogan
It's like also the problem is the system is so deeply intertwined in our society that to unwind it now and somehow or another start some sort of competent social medicine.
But that's the other problem is socialized medicine has not been effective anywhere.
Like everywhere else, like the difference between, it's really a difference between money.
Like if you have money in America and you break your leg, you can go to a really good doctor and you get your leg fixed.
theo von
Break your leg.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
If you have money, if you're using, if you have socialized medicine and you're in England, for instance, I have a lot of friends in England that have they use the socialized medicine there.
They have it in Canada.
Like my friend in Canada, it took her a year to get a knee reconstruction and they did a terrible job of it.
They repaired her ACL and she's still, she's fucked.
She can't fully straighten her leg out.
theo von
Yeah, every time she fucking looks, yeah, she just moonwalks everywhere.
joe rogan
She's got a limp, a noticeable limp.
And they just fucked it up.
They did a shitty job.
And, you know, look, that could happen in America too.
But you could get an operation quicker here.
But it's really just money.
And the real problem with America is that you could have something really wrong with you and you have insurance and then your insurance denies you coverage for what's wrong with you.
Like Ben Askrin.
You know the story with Ben Askrin?
theo von
I know he's been getting better, right?
joe rogan
He's getting better, but he had a double lung transplant.
He had lung and the insurance didn't cover it.
How?
How could you not cover that?
The guy gets sick.
It turns out he's a very rare, I think it was like a staph infection or some kind of bacterial infection that was eating his lungs.
So they had to put him on a respirator.
He's on a respirator for a long time.
Then they had to give him a double lung transplant.
And insurance companies didn't cover it.
Yeah.
theo von
It's like, what are you even there for?
And then the stress, imagine his wife probably, or him, he is in and out of consciousness.
He has to call them probably.
And just the stress of like, we can't do it.
Can you fill out these forms?
It's almost like they just want to kill you with the stress.
It's just.
joe rogan
They just want to spend the least amount of money possible and make the most amount of money possible.
theo von
But when is it all?
joe rogan
United Healthcare.
There's something about United Healthcare that's attached to this government shutdown bill, too.
The reason why they were shutting down the guy.
There's something about the flow of money to United Healthcare, which is, you know, that company where that guy got assassinated.
Everybody cheered.
Because also because Luigi's kind of hot.
theo von
Good looking guy.
I didn't see it.
joe rogan
You didn't see Luigi?
theo von
No, I'm joking.
I'd look pretty.
I mean, he's fine.
Yeah.
I like men.
I like women.
joe rogan
Handsome hero.
theo von
Yeah, but still handsome guy.
joe rogan
I'm not saying you don't like women.
But, you know, I'm not saying you fuck alligators, but you know what one looks like.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Come on, dog.
theo von
Yeah, you're right about that.
That's a good call.
Hey, I ain't gay, but I'll hold it in my mouth until the gay guy gets there.
joe rogan
I go, if I told you it's an alligator, you wouldn't be like, bro, I'm not gay.
You would say, yes, it is an alligator.
theo von
Dude, my buddy.
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
You know what I'm saying?
I'm saying Luigi's handsome, and you're like, I'm not gay.
And I'm like, that's not what I asked.
I asked you if you can see things.
Take those fucking shitty fake glasses off.
Maybe you can tell Luigi's a handsome man.
theo von
Helping or not.
joe rogan
You know, a lot of people think that Luigi was like some MK Ultra thing.
They tricked him and hypnotized him and got him to go in and shoot that guy.
theo von
Well, I think there's a lot of that going on.
And yes, I did have dinner at Candace someone's house recently.
You know, there's definitely, you know, conspiratorial.
A lot of conspiratorial foods on the menu over there.
You know?
I don't know if I'd say that.
I mean, they had like an unvaccinated quail with like an mRNA demi-glaze.
unidentified
So maybe kind of.
joe rogan
Bro, they're trying to vaccinate cows.
Do you know about that?
They're trying to give cows mRNA vaccines.
theo von
Are they really?
joe rogan
No.
They're just trying to use the technology to make money.
If you really think they're doing it to protect the cows, you're out of your fucking mind.
Any of this stuff is just about money.
Cows are fine.
There's nothing wrong with the cows.
theo von
Why are they even doing that then?
joe rogan
Let the cows eat grass.
They'll be even better.
That's what they're supposed to be eating.
Let them all eat grass.
They'll be fine.
But occasionally, some cows will get sick.
Brucellosis is real.
It's when bisons and cows intermingle.
You know, bisons give cows brucellosis and it kills a bunch of them.
But other than that, fucking relax.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Relax.
theo von
Well, it just never ends.
It feels like there's everything.
There's just always a problem with everything.
I don't know.
joe rogan
Maybe the worry that people have is that somehow or another that stuff's going to get into your food.
theo von
Well, they're right, probably.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah.
They're right because they've already talked about somehow or another getting mRNA vaccines into vegetables so that you wouldn't even have to get vaccinated.
You can get it from your diet.
theo von
They try to give me a tetanus shot.
joe rogan
It doesn't even work.
theo von
What, tetanus shot?
joe rogan
No, the fucking mRNA vaccines.
You're putting it in food and it doesn't even work.
theo von
Dude, I'm not taking it.
joe rogan
It doesn't work when you take it.
People aren't even taking it anymore.
And now you're trying to put it in food.
theo von
What are they putting it in?
You said radish or what is it?
unidentified
Cute?
joe rogan
Radishes?
I don't know.
They were trying to put it in vegetables.
It's like, I mean, I think it's theoretical at this point, but I know Bill Gates was talking about it.
theo von
I just feel it's like, when does it end?
Like, when is it like.
joe rogan
It ends when they stop making money.
As long as they can figure out a way to trick you into thinking that you need something or, you know, you're not going to make any money.
Did you know that tetanus?
Well, you were talking about tetanus.
Did you know tetanus is a bacteria?
And it's extremely rare in America.
Like very, very, very, very few people ever get tetanus.
You think tetanus comes from a dirty nail, like a step on a nail?
No, tetanus is a bacteria.
theo von
Yeah.
joe rogan
And it can be cleaned out.
And also, tetanus is one of the rare vaccines that works as a prophylactic, like after the fact.
Like you could step on a nail.
You don't have tetanus yet.
They give you the tetanus vaccine after you stepped on the nail.
And then it still protects you.
No, it protects you.
theo von
Right.
joe rogan
So you don't need to take it.
Tetanus is super rare in America.
It's not, you could completely fix it by cleaning out the wound.
And if you get tetanus, they just inject you with the tetanus vaccine then.
Like there's no need to give tetanus shots to baby.
theo von
Yeah, they were saying maybe you should get it.
And I was like, I don't even know if I've had it, you know, but I don't want it.
I don't want anything else.
joe rogan
You probably had it when you were young.
theo von
Yeah, yeah.
I think I had that, but you should get it every 10 years.
I'm like, I don't know.
I don't care.
I'll be fine.
I'm okay.
joe rogan
It's real common in other countries.
Like, apparently, it's they say the colours.
theo von
Tetanus is.
joe rogan
Yeah.
It's a bacteria.
I didn't know it was a bacteria.
I thought it was something you got from Rusty Nails.
You know?
But it makes sense if it's a vaccine, that it's protecting you from something that's kind of alive.
Like a virus is kind of alive, right?
Like, they don't consider it a life form.
But I mean, it seems like it spreads.
It gets in a bunch of different people.
It needs the person as a host.
It seems like it's a kind of life.
I mean, it's trying to consume you.
It's trying to destroy your body.
And you're fighting it off.
theo von
Yeah.
joe rogan
And it hops from you to your kids to your neighbor to, you know, it's kind of alive and it kind of needs a person.
If it's propagating, right?
If it's spreading, like, what is it?
theo von
A virus?
joe rogan
Yeah.
I mean, I don't think they consider viruses a life form, but it sounds a lot like a different kind of life form, like a parasitic life form.
That's what it sounds like.
Doesn't it?
theo von
I mean, I don't think they're saying that it's not.
They're saying that it's bad, right?
A virus?
joe rogan
No, I don't think they consider it a life form.
Like, do they consider viruses a life form?
Put that in perplexity.
We have a sponsor.
We have an AI sponsor.
theo von
I use perplexity.
joe rogan
It's really good.
So let's find out if they consider, put that shit in there.
Let's find out if they consider virus as a life form because I don't think they do.
I think it's considered something different.
theo von
Dude, I'm so awful.
I'm so chilly.
joe rogan
Here we go.
Is the virus considered a life form?
Viruses are generally not considered life forms by most biologists, primarily because they cannot carry out the basic processes of life independently, such as metabolism, growth, or self-sustained reproduction without a host cell.
However, this status is debated in scientific circles due to viruses' ability to carry genetic material, reproduce inside host cells, and evolve through natural selection.
Yeah, I'm with those folks.
It's a life form.
It's a weird life form.
And here's the crazy thing.
If you think about it that way, then you got to think about gain of function research.
Gain of function research is like taking a grizzly bear and go, that grizzly bear should be on roids.
And you take a grizzly bear and you jack them up on TREN and you give them testosterone and cocaine and then let them loose in the woods.
That's what gain of function research is.
And our government was funding that.
They were funding making more evil life forms.
And that's where COVID-19 came from.
It came from our tax dollars that goes off to this lab where they're working on making a life form more vicious to people.
theo von
What do they want?
joe rogan
It's a fucking weapon.
That's what I think.
theo von
But then they just use it against us?
joe rogan
Well, I think it got out.
I don't think they tried to use it against us.
That's what I think.
But I think that they 100% are developing these things to dump them on other countries.
That's a fact.
They've always done that.
theo von
But why at this time?
joe rogan
They've done tons of research that show that the United States has been involved in stuff like that forever.
There was actually bioweapons labs that were in Ukraine when the war broke out that the United States was somehow involved with.
Put that in there.
Put that in there.
What bioweapons labs was the United States involved with in Ukraine?
Or how about this?
Instead of being leading, were bioweapons labs discovered in Ukraine?
theo von
Baby girl.
joe rogan
Let's put that in first and see what it says.
And then I'm going to ask it, were they funded by the United States?
Can I see it?
No bioweapons labs have been discovered in Ukraine, according to the United Nations, the U.S., Ukraine, and multiple independent experts.
The allegations made by Russia and echoed by some Chinese officials involve claims that U.S.-funded laboratories involved in military biological activity were operating in Ukraine, but these claims have been consistently, have consistently been denied and refuted by international authorities.
That doesn't mean anything.
Independent investigations and statements by the UN disarmament chief confirmed there is no evidence of a biological weapons program in Ukraine.
Yeah.
Okay.
Are there any stories online about bioweapons labs discovered in Ukraine?
Yeah, but we don't know that that's true.
So here's the thing.
If the United States is running bio or funding bioweapons labs in Ukraine and it doesn't become a national news item, you think they're going to come up and say, you're right, we did it.
No, they're not.
But if you're going to fund bioweapons research in China and a lot of other places, are there stories about the discovery?
Let's see what it says here.
Stories about the alleged discovery of bioweapons labs in Ukraine have circulated widely, primarily promoted by Russian officials and state media.
But these claims have not been substantiated by independent sources or international organizations, nor could they be.
Like, what are you going to do?
You're going to get in there and fucking rat everybody out in the middle of a war.
They're going to kill you.
Yeah, they wouldn't let that out.
Chinese foreign ministry and various conspiracy theorists have also amplified these stories, including claims of 26 bio labs and illegal research discovered by Russian forces.
theo von
I would hate to work at one of those places.
joe rogan
Right.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Okay, here's a problem here, right here.
International news organizations and independent scientists, including the BBC and experts at King's College London, have reviewed the alleged evidence and found it lacking, noting that the pathogens and documents cited by Russia are consistent with public health research, not weapons development.
Okay, public health research is one of the ways that they do weapons development.
They do it under the guise of public health research.
That's the whole original premise of gain of function research.
We're doing this so that we could figure out how to heal people.
And if these diseases do come our way, we know more about them because we've been researching them.
Like, okay, so the problem with the BBC saying it, well, we just found out the BBC is full of shit.
That whole thing with Trump, where they took a speech and they edited it and put apart this more than 50 minutes later in the sentence to end the sentence.
Like they completely changed what he had to say.
The head of BBC had to resign.
This is a giant scandal.
So I don't trust that.
But I don't know who's telling the truth or who's not because if I was Russia and I had invaded Ukraine, I would also say we found bioweapons labs.
And maybe there weren't any.
Maybe it is a lie.
theo von
Well, it's the same with like the weapons.
It's just so hard to know what's real, you know, at our level of just like being a consumer.
joe rogan
See if you can find online a story so we can pick apart the story that says bioweapons labs found in Ukraine.
theo von
It's tough to know who to trust.
It's just tough to know where to trust things.
So I think you just have to.
joe rogan
But there's a fact that we have had bioweapons research, and so has Russia.
This is a story that I did when I did that show, Joe Rogan Questions Everything.
I interviewed a guy who used to be a part of Russia's bioweapons research program.
And he explained to me how they're creating anthrax and they had all these bioweapons available.
And I said, do you think that there's a possibility that they were making various infectious diseases?
He said, absolutely.
That was research that was being done.
And then we went down to Galveston, Texas, and we went to one of those bio research labs that they have in America, one of those giant, crazy labs where everybody wears the hazmat suits and there's tubes that come off their suit and they're working with like Ebola and all this like super and his perspective was what he was worried about was not something made in a lab.
What he's worried about is some sort of a natural jump that goes from animals to people and just wipes us out.
That's this was this one doctor told me.
theo von
I don't know.
joe rogan
I feel the problem was, I would say that too, if I was in the middle of gain of function research, I would say this stuff is nothing.
Don't worry about this.
unidentified
What I'd really worry about is chicken pox from chickens.
theo von
Yeah.
Is that the big thing now?
joe rogan
I don't know.
unidentified
Well, dude, in our I just don't even know.
theo von
It's like, I don't know if they'd want to wipe us all out, though, because then there's nobody for these like dark lords to play with, I feel like.
joe rogan
I don't think they want to wipe us all out, but I think they want to keep us as controlled as possible, as scared as possible.
Do you see what they did in Canada?
They just shot 300 ostriches for no reason.
theo von
Fuck.
And Canadians, dude, who also have very good posture.
Ostrace is probably a great posture for a bird, would you say?
joe rogan
Well, they have that crazy neck.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
They're headed up.
Otherwise, it'll fall down.
theo von
Yeah, but still.
joe rogan
Imagine if your neck was like three feet long.
That would be crazy.
theo von
Best posture I've ever seen in the world.
Toronto.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
theo von
If you had a fucking three-foot neck, dude.
joe rogan
Crazy.
Like, everywhere you go, your neck's like a tail.
theo von
Bro, have you seen that?
Have you seen those giraffes with a little neck?
joe rogan
What?
theo von
Pulling bitches up, cut.
joe rogan
Oh, I have seen that.
It's like a cousin of a giraffe.
It looks like an antelope.
theo von
It's like a red.
joe rogan
Yeah, what are those called?
theo von
Like Mexican giraffes or whatever.
joe rogan
No, no, no, no.
They live in Africa.
Whoa, that's crazy.
theo von
Shorty one of them.
Oh, look at that.
joe rogan
Bro, that's weird.
Wait a minute.
Is that AI, dog?
That's what it looks like.
The shortnecks giraffe native.
jamie vernon
This looks more fake.
joe rogan
Really?
theo von
Yeah, that looks way fake.
They're wearing fucking bowler hats from Army.
joe rogan
No, that's what they look like.
No, I think that's generally genuinely what they look like.
theo von
That's the one right there.
joe rogan
That's it.
theo von
That's that dog.
That's kind of how I'm built.
joe rogan
That is a weird giraffe, man.
jamie vernon
This is they're from Wakanda.
I don't know if that's real.
joe rogan
Interesting.
Oh, from Wakanda.
So they're real.
theo von
That's real.
joe rogan
That is definitely real.
theo von
Everything, bro.
joe rogan
That's the thing you can't tell.
theo von
There's no information anymore.
It's all just a blender of fucking who knows.
Anything you put into TikTok, the next story, it's merged your last researches into a new Sora is making new things that it looks so real.
It's just like, I don't even know what if information even means.
It's just, everything feels so bizarre.
You know?
Don't you feel like that?
joe rogan
Uh-huh.
And it's getting weirder.
It's getting weirder and harder to tell what's true.
theo von
By the month, it's getting weirder and fast.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's getting very strange.
theo von
So you got to lock in.
I'm trying to think of the things that just even still feel real to me sometimes, you know?
joe rogan
I think this is a real important time to minimize the amount of time you're online.
theo von
Yeah.
joe rogan
This is as things get squirrelier and squirrelier, check in every now and then, but don't allow yourself to be looking at that goddamn thing all day.
theo von
Yeah.
joe rogan
Because that's part of what's wrong with us is we're staring at these goddamn things all day and they're just hypnotizing us with bullshit.
At the end of the day, you're confused, aimless.
You go to sleep, you feel depressed.
You wake up in the morning, you get up in the middle of the night to piss.
You're like, what is life?
You go back to bed.
You're like, what am I doing?
Those things do that.
You take away those things and life is pretty normal.
theo von
Yeah.
joe rogan
They are amplifiers of anxiety.
theo von
Oh, that's for sure.
joe rogan
For sure.
theo von
Well, it's even like they had a lot of these shooters, like people that have like, you know, these young guys who become, what's it called when you see stuff online and it makes you more radicalized, right?
How are some of these companies not legally liable?
Like if you go to a restaurant, right?
joe rogan
Right.
theo von
And somebody poisons you, you could take something up with that restaurant.
joe rogan
Right.
theo von
If they poison a bunch of people, you may be able to sue the restaurant or have some recourse against that restaurant, the food establishment.
But these entities, like these social media places, like if they radicalize someone and they go shoot somebody or something, there's no accountability for the company.
You know what I'm saying?
joe rogan
Well, the company is not radicalizing people.
And I think it's a real danger what you're saying because what you're saying is you're opening the door to censorship.
You're opening the door to the government saying, we're here to protect you so you can't talk about certain things.
Because these things can radicalize you.
Because anybody's definition of what radicalizes people is very variable, right?
Like during COVID, I could have been considered someone who radicalizes people against taking a COVID vaccine.
I could have been seen as a science denier and a dangerous person that has to be silenced.
You have to remove them from public discourse.
So what you're saying by people getting radicalized, who?
That's the problem.
Like who's getting radicalized and who's doing it?
And what is the real reason why you're getting radicalized?
Okay, because you don't know who the fuck you are.
theo von
So you could be getting radicalized for the better or for the worse, too.
joe rogan
For sure.
theo von
So you're just really getting educated, really.
joe rogan
Look, there's people that get radicalized towards radical ideas of fitness and will and discipline.
That's good.
Paying attention to Jocko every morning.
What is radicalized?
You could be a radical, you could be into radical kindness.
You get radicalized to just be kind to people.
It's all dependent upon what are you talking about and who's doing it.
So why would the social media platform be in trouble for doing nothing other than giving people a voice?
theo von
But the algorithm, is there an algorithm that asserts that?
joe rogan
That's where it gets weird.
So the algorithm.
theo von
That's more what I mean then.
Is the algorithm, isn't there some liability to an algorithm?
joe rogan
But here's the problem: the algorithm amplifies what you like.
So you have to decide what you're looking at.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
Like, you have to have some personal responsibility because most of my algorithm, particularly on YouTube, is all just stuff I like.
It's all fun stuff.
It's all interesting.
It's all ancient history stuff, you know, cool cars that people are building.
That's it.
That's most of it.
Fights, pool matches, professional pool matches, a lot of Muay Thai.
It's all stuff I'm into.
It's nothing is so like, why is your algorithm fucked up?
Because that's the stuff you're clicking on all the time.
And a lot of things, I don't know if you could do it on Instagram.
Can you do it?
Like, I don't like posts like this where you right-click on things.
theo von
Yeah, I think you can.
But you can't.
joe rogan
I know you can do it on Google news feed.
You can't do it in these things.
theo von
Like, if it's a young person, is there any more, should there be anything?
Like, I agree, there is a love.
It's always personal responsibility.
And I think we're probably in a space where more than ever, personal responsibility is going to start to thin the herd because it's like who can, you know, have like control over their own wherewithal, you know, and what they absorb.
joe rogan
Well, we have to learn from other people's mistakes, right?
And we kind of are better at that than, like, okay.
We're better at that as a society than, say, when society's with alcohol, for instance, than a society where alcohol gets introduced into that society, where they don't have a history of alcohol.
Generally speaking, that destroys civilization.
theo von
You mean if a place does, like when they gave alcoholism?
joe rogan
Native Americans.
Like the Native Americans.
It's a perfect example.
Native Americans had no history of alcohol use.
United States troops came through, did two things.
One, killed 90% of them with disease.
So 90% of the Native Americans died from disease because they were exposed to smallpox and all sorts of horrible shit that the Europeans carried over with them.
So 90% of them died from that.
And then they got pushed into reservations.
They got slaughtered by people with guns and all they lost all their land.
And then also they get introduced to alcohol.
So both everything gets super depressing and you get introduced to alcohol.
And that is devastating to a society.
And to this day, reservations have very high rates of alcohol and drug abuse, very high rates on Native American reservations.
theo von
Oh, yeah.
But if you're really drinking of it air.
joe rogan
But if you look at us, like regular people, like we're talking about alcohol today, right?
We're talking about, I don't, I barely drink anymore.
I'll have a drink every now and then and I had one recently.
But that's it.
Like you can, you can, I know how to do that.
I come from a culture of people who drink.
It's common.
You know, people drink wine with dinner.
It's calm.
It's normal.
You can figure out how to regulate it for the most part.
But there's people who won't, right?
theo von
Yeah.
joe rogan
But it's not as bad as when there's no one knows what to do because you've never had it before.
And then once you get it, you're fucked.
That's the problem also with censorship.
That's the problem with like social media.
Like we're the first people to get it.
So we're like basically the Native Americans of social media.
Like we're getting it for the first time and it's wrecking our society.
theo von
Yeah.
joe rogan
Not to the same level that it did in Native Americans because it also carries a lot of positives.
It does let you distribute information.
You learn about things.
There's a lot of positives that come with social media.
But also, we're the first people that don't know how to handle it.
The grandchildren and great-grandchildren of us, they will have a much better understanding of what not to do and what to do.
Oh, I have an uncle who is an addict.
He's a Twitter addict.
He's a real problem.
All he does is yell about politics.
He's on his phone 16 hours a day.
He doesn't pay attention to his life.
He's losing his job because he's a Twitter addict.
There's people like that, just like these people that are drug addicts.
But these are the first ones.
theo von
Got it.
I hadn't thought about it like that.
joe rogan
Yeah, we got to learn how to regulate.
And I think people are going to learn like a lot of kids are using apps now that limit the amount of time that they're on their social media for like one hour a day.
You know, and are they?
theo von
You think a lot of these kids are doing that?
joe rogan
Kids that want a better life.
Yes.
Kids that recognize that you can waste time.
And when you waste time over long, you know, like junior high school, into high school, you really start realizing it.
And you see the difference between people who don't waste time and really get after it and get things done.
And then you see the people that are falling by the wayside.
And that's a pattern that establishes when you're a teenager pretty much for the whole rest of your life.
You know, I knew people that were kind of ne'er-do wells in high school that really never got into anything.
And they never tried hard at anything.
And they stayed like that.
theo von
Yeah.
I think it's hard to make a really hard.
joe rogan
Very hard to make a change in how you see life.
theo von
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know, and then you're not going to change your life unless you change the way you see life.
theo von
Yeah.
Do you, let me think about something else.
Sorry.
My brain sometimes gets hard to like keep going.
How are the fights, man?
Did you have fun?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah.
It's always fun.
Madison Square Garden is crazy.
There's a few buildings in this world that have like a tangible feel when you're in them.
Like, whoa, this is the garden.
Bro, I've been there a ton of times.
I performed there.
It doesn't matter.
Every time I go there, when I walk into that building, I'm like, whoo, we're at the fucking garden.
theo von
Yeah.
joe rogan
You better be on your P's and Q's, son.
We've got to be ready to go.
This is the garden.
I think fighters feel it too.
I think they're extra amped to fight in the garden.
theo von
Yeah, Dustin said that he went to watch the fights.
Was there a lot of, was Anik there?
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah.
theo von
I didn't get to watch.
joe rogan
Yeah, Anik, DC, and me.
theo von
Let's go.
joe rogan
And Megan was there too.
Megan Lee.
theo von
Megan Levy?
unidentified
Yep.
theo von
Oh, she's the best.
joe rogan
She's just her and her husband.
They're both salted the earth.
theo von
The best.
joe rogan
The best.
theo von
I mean, I will say this.
They have one of the best staffs of any sporting group I've ever been around in my life.
joe rogan
For sure.
Yeah, the UFC staff is very much like a family.
theo von
Amber, Nicole.
joe rogan
We all know each other so well.
We've hung out together so long.
Everybody's all hugging everybody backstage.
This is a beautiful place to work.
theo von
And Bruce is doing his stretches.
There's so many little things going on.
joe rogan
Yeah.
theo von
And you just get to see them all happen.
And it's always the same people, you know?
joe rogan
And we travel around the world together.
Well, I don't anymore.
I used to travel with those guys around the world.
And, you know, they'll go from here and now they're going to Cotter.
theo von
I was going to go.
joe rogan
Were you really?
theo von
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, man, that's a long-ass flight, son.
theo von
I know.
I went over there.
joe rogan
They're going to make you put on the outfit.
theo von
I put on the outfit already once.
joe rogan
Did you like it?
theo von
Yeah.
joe rogan
Are you thinking maybe I could live here if I get in trouble?
theo von
I thought they were going to take my life and I don't let me come back.
Not them, but you just never know in the Middle East what's going on, you know.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
What does that outfit mean?
theo von
It's called a throbe.
I think you can see a picture of me in it.
joe rogan
Yeah, I've seen it.
I used it to attack you for stuff online.
theo von
Oh, yeah.
unidentified
So if you're in the pocket of those type shit, boy, look at it, bro.
joe rogan
Bro, it looks good.
I like how theirs has a collar.
It's a little more modern.
theo von
I think you have to put the head thing on, like, if you're listening to music or whatever.
joe rogan
You'll be a real problem if you're grappling with that thing, though.
Limit your hip movement.
People can control you a little bit better.
theo von
Well, hopefully the person you're grappling with is also wearing it.
joe rogan
That's true, but you're slowing down the game.
theo von
Yeah, you're right.
A hell of a gi.
joe rogan
So long as you're wearing a bathrobe.
You're not even wearing a gi.
You're wearing an ankle-length bathrobe.
theo von
Yeah, I was going to go.
I was going to go.
joe rogan
Did you like going over there?
What was your experience?
theo von
Yeah, man.
I liked it.
I mean, obviously they treat you a little bit different because, you know, you're not gay.
Yeah.
joe rogan
That.
theo von
Thank you for saying that.
So we got that out there.
And I am looking for love.
I did meet somebody that thought was kind of cool, but who knows, you know?
unidentified
How did Jewish people feel like going over there?
theo von
I'm sure that they're probably.
I mean, I feel like they're all kind of in cahoots every day.
Don't really know what's going on.
Qatar is a Muslim country.
joe rogan
Right.
But that's what I'm saying.
Like, if I was a Jew and I was traveling around the world right now, I'd be like, do I stop in here?
unidentified
Yeah, maybe I want to fly into Sweden instead.
joe rogan
You know?
theo von
I guess.
I don't know.
Did Qatar, did they?
Did any of those countries help with Palestine?
I don't know.
It was hard to know what was going on.
joe rogan
Well, I think there was talk of, do you say Qatar or Qatar?
theo von
You're right.
joe rogan
Qatar.
Qatar.
There was talk in the beginning of them helping to rebuild.
But this is like when Trump said the wildest shit of all time that we're going to take over and we're going to turn it into the, what did he say?
unidentified
The Mediterranean of the Middle East?
joe rogan
What the fuck are you saying?
That was one of those things that maybe made people go, wait, is he really crazy?
theo von
What's going on?
joe rogan
How are we going to take over?
How are you going to take it?
It's like when he was talking about Greenland, like maybe we're going to take Greenland.
Like, hey, what?
Why do they want Greenland?
Let's ask perplexity.
Why is he ask perplexity?
Why is the United States interested in acquiring Greenland?
theo von
You'd think there's something up there.
joe rogan
You know what I would think?
What?
Let's imagine a world where the climate does radically shift.
Right.
And by the way, I think human beings play a part of it.
I've had a lot of these conversations with people.
And I saw a video that was criticizing something today saying, how, you know, talking about how much money there is in climate change and pushing the climate change narrative.
And then that didn't compare to the amount of money that's in the fossil fuel promoting fossil fuels.
That is 100% true, but it doesn't discount the fact that there's a shit ton of money to be made from green energy.
That's why they're promoting it.
You really can't stop fossil fuel.
That's the inside wink.
Everything is made with oil.
Everything.
Your pharmaceuticals, all of your electronics, plastics, tires, everything is made with.
You ain't stopping oil.
However, this idea of reducing carbon footprint, there 100% is money in that.
And there's money in the whole green energy narrative.
There's money.
This is why Bill Gates recently abandoned saying he totally backtracked on what he was saying.
theo von
Climate change?
joe rogan
Yeah, he totally backtracked on it because people were starting to investigate and looking at why are you saying this?
And are you making money off of this?
Do you have like certain stocks that would rise and where you'd make an extraordinary amount of money if you promoted these certain narratives publicly?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's part of what's going on.
However, there was giant solar activity this week.
And this is what I'm talking about.
theo von
In Greenland?
joe rogan
Yes.
No, in America.
Giant solar activity where people were seeing the northern lights in Texas.
theo von
Yes.
joe rogan
In fucking Texas.
Okay.
And a friend of mine who is, well, Brett Weinstein, I'm pretty sure I could say he was him.
It's not a secret.
Was telling me, like, this is like a significant amount of solar activity, kind of unprecedented and very dangerous.
And if it gets bigger than a certain wave, which they can't really predict, like these solar flares, they just, they don't have a clock on the sun.
Like, oh, on November 17th, it'll be 82 degrees.
No, it does whatever the fuck it wants.
And sometimes it does mass ejections, man.
unidentified
And these huge bursts.
joe rogan
And these huge bursts can wipe out satellites, wipe out telecommunication, wipe it out, and change the fucking temperature of the earth.
Dude, what the fuck?
theo von
Go back to that Greenland.
joe rogan
Go back to that Greenland thing, please, because we didn't get a chance to read it.
Dude, the United States is interested in acquiring Greenland for a combination of strategic, economic, and security reasons.
Greenland's geographic location makes it a critical asset for U.S. defense, especially for monitoring activities in the Arctic and North Atlantic, as well as for tracking potential Russian military movements and securing early warning capabilities for missile threats.
That makes sense.
You know what also makes sense?
If it gets green because the Earth temperature changes.
theo von
Because you're investing ahead of time.
joe rogan
Greenland maybe used to be green.
You know what I'm saying?
theo von
Yeah, I mean, I would bet at some point it did.
joe rogan
I think they discovered Greenland like officially in like, I want to say the 1800s.
They listed Greenland as a continent, but there's maps of Greenland, like detailed maps of Greenland from like the 1500s.
theo von
Do you think that they can, do you think that it's controllable where they could start to thawed out whoever owns it all?
joe rogan
It's uncontrollable.
No.
theo von
So that's not controllable.
joe rogan
This is the scariest thing about the temperature of Earth that we need to come to grips with.
It is not static.
It changes and it changes all the time.
And sometimes it changes in horrific ways where it turns into a fucking ice age.
And if that happens, we all have to move to the equator.
And that's what happens.
That's what happens in human history.
That's why you see these like super advanced civilizations that came out of South America.
Like, well, they were probably the only people that were able to live normally during the ice age.
During the ice age, like if you're in North America, you're a fucking caveman.
You're covered in animal furs.
You know, you're trudging through the snow.
theo von
You're hiding.
joe rogan
You're hiding.
Things are hunting you.
If you're living in the Amazon jungle during that same time, man, you're probably in like, think of the Aztecs.
You know, the Aztecs.
theo von
How tall were they, the Aztecs overall?
joe rogan
Here's the thing about the Aztec.
Aztec ruins is what I was going to get to.
They found them that way.
The Aztecs that lived there, they didn't build them.
They found them that way.
They uncovered them in the jungle.
theo von
The ruins?
joe rogan
They're part of a civilization that's even older than them.
theo von
So that's why they found that place.
They didn't build it.
joe rogan
They built some things.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
But they found those things there.
So their great, great ancestors were probably the ones who built it initially.
And if you think about the ice age, if there's any advanced civilizations, it's going to be in the places that aren't frozen.
And all of North America, dude, half of North America was under at least a mile of ice.
theo von
Hold on, let me think about it.
Half of North America was under at least one mile of ice.
joe rogan
Yeah, you know how it's flat in like a lot of Wisconsin?
Wisconsin has areas called the driftless areas.
And that's the areas where these giant glaciers didn't just plow over the earth.
So they have hills and mountains and shit.
Everything else is just flat.
That flat shit, that's from two miles of motherfucking ice just erasing anything that was there before it.
theo von
Like a bulldozer.
joe rogan
So if there was a civilization that lived on Earth up there 20,000 years ago, bitch, you ain't finding nothing.
theo von
You ain't getting shit.
joe rogan
You ain't finding nothing.
theo von
You ain't getting shit.
joe rogan
And they were all down in South America.
That's what I think.
That's why that happened.
That's why they had such advanced civilizations.
theo von
And so many artifacts and stuff because that's where it was possible.
joe rogan
All kinds of weird shit that they don't understand.
So what cities that were in the Amazon jungle that they're discovering now?
theo von
But what happens, Joe?
Say it starts to, like, things are, you know, it starts to devolve even more.
What happens?
Where do we meet up?
I know we've talked about this before.
I think we said Denver or whatever.
joe rogan
I think Denver's lost.
I think Denver's lost.
theo von
Okay, so we need to have a straight line.
joe rogan
They're just there and bringing wolves back to Denver, these dumbasses.
theo von
Well, I wouldn't mind a wolf or two, but I'm just saying, what do we do, man?
That's what I'm saying.
Like, if it gets weird, we have to have some plan.
It's already getting weird, right?
joe rogan
It's getting real weird.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's getting weird.
But the reality, what I was getting to is you can't control the Earth's temperature.
You can't control the Earth's future because there's a bunch of factors.
Even if you say, okay, let's all agree on something first.
Let's agree that human beings have a detrimental effect on Earth.
We can all agree on that.
Let's agree that human beings overfish the ocean.
Let's all agree on that.
Let's all agree that we pollute the air, we pollute the oceans, we pollute the rivers.
All that is terrible.
All that should be fixed.
Let's all agree on that.
Once we agree on that, that's not the greatest threat to human life.
The greatest threat to human life is asteroid impacts.
Well, nuclear war for sure, if we do that to each other.
That's number one.
But after that, it's asteroid impacts.
And asteroid impacts, you can't do a fucking thing about them.
theo von
You could do something.
joe rogan
Uh-uh.
No, they're not ready yet.
They can't do anything yet.
theo von
You couldn't do something.
You could hide behind something.
joe rogan
No, no, no.
theo von
You could do something.
joe rogan
No.
theo von
You could wear something.
You could wear something.
unidentified
No.
joe rogan
Okay, you're being silly.
theo von
No, you don't think you could.
joe rogan
You got the three-eye Atlas, that one that just passed through.
It's the size of Manhattan, and it's made out of metal.
It's a giant chunk of nickel that's the size of Manhattan.
And it's billions of years old, and it's going, how many thousands of miles an hour was it going?
Put that in a bunch of how fast was three eye Atlas?
It doesn't matter where you are.
Everything's dead.
The whole planet's dead.
Okay, because what happens is you have roaches, some fucking underground mammals that survive.
theo von
But you're saying it hits the planet, and then what happens?
That's what I'm saying.
joe rogan
Everybody dies.
It's miles deep into Earth in the first second, miles deep.
theo von
But does it like impact?
Like, does the Earth shift over 20 feet?
joe rogan
Like some massive explosion.
theo von
Oh, you're saying you're saying there's an explosion?
joe rogan
Not just an explosion, but it creates nuclear winter.
Like the entire Earth is covered in volcanic ash.
Like you're fucked.
Everything's dead.
Like most of the Earth is dead.
chuck schumer
Okay.
theo von
So maybe I'm not understanding it, Philip.
joe rogan
It seems like it.
It's going approximately 155,000 miles an hour.
theo von
Fuck, you didn't say that.
joe rogan
This makes the fastest interstellar object yet observed, with its velocity accelerating as it approaches the sun and then gradually slowing as it moves away.
So it's 250,000 kilometers per hour.
Earlier measurements as it entered the solar system recorded speeds of 130,000 to 140,000 miles an hour.
theo von
Saudi Bay.
joe rogan
So it's the size of Manhattan.
It's made out of nickel.
Okay, let's Google this.
What is the observed mass of this object?
theo von
How big is it?
joe rogan
What is the observed mass of 3E Atlas?
Observed mass of 3 of it.
Okay, let us see what it says.
Look how quick it did that.
Just Google all those articles.
The observed mass is estimated to be over 33 billion tons.
theo von
Okay, hold on.
Let me think about how much that is real quick.
joe rogan
It's a lot.
33 billion tons.
theo von
How much is one ton?
joe rogan
2,000 pounds.
theo von
Okay.
joe rogan
What else is 33 billion tons?
theo von
That's a great question, dude.
joe rogan
Very good question, Jamie.
Look how it researches.
Estimated mass of 3E Atlas, 33 billion tons, roughly equivalent to the mass of Manhattan Island, which is about 3.1 miles across, similar in size to the comet's estimated nucleus diameter.
This means the comet's mass is roughly comparable to a large city in solid matter terms.
theo von
Amen.
joe rogan
33 billion tons.
theo von
Well, I'm going to say.
joe rogan
Three to five orders of magnitude heavier than previous interstellar objects, like Uamumamu.
500, what?
Far smaller than the heaviest known comets in our solar system.
Look at this one.
One C 2014, whatever, whatever, which weighs around 500 trillion tons with a diameter of about 128 kilometers, 80 miles.
theo von
I didn't think that it was.
I think I had a different concept of it.
Yeah, so I had something small.
I had something like this.
joe rogan
No, those hit all the time.
Things like that hit all the time.
And that's what I was thinking about.
To find them is Antarctica because Antarctica's all white.
So they go out there and they see things on the ground that are meteors.
theo von
Is it true they won't let us up there?
Is that true?
That's a myth.
joe rogan
No, there's places where you're not supposed to fly, but there's a bunch of reasons for that.
One of them, I'm sure they're probably doing military research up there, but also, so they have restricted airspace.
But also, it's really dangerous.
And if you crash, they want to have to rescue you.
Like, there's nothing up there.
Like, you will die, you know, most likely.
And they don't want to have to try to die going to get you.
It's sketchy as fuck going up there.
theo von
Fuck it, it is, dude.
I couldn't even imagine it.
I mean, I'm trying to think.
We used to go skiing or whatever, like in Iowa somewhere, or in, I think it was in Iowa in the winter.
They have like a place called Sundown, I think it was.
It's fucking freezing.
Like, we went to Whistler, Canada one time to go skiing.
Freezing cold.
I can't even imagine being at the Antarctica.
How cold does it get?
joe rogan
Oh, it's cold as fuck.
It's not just cold.
There's no one there.
Like, they do these things.
theo von
You can't even tell anybody it's cold because there's nobody even there.
You just.
joe rogan
I wonder what they're studying up there.
They have scientific communities up there.
They have like groups of scientists that live up there year-round.
theo von
That's got to be weird.
joe rogan
Oh, it's got to be hell.
theo von
And do they get to bring their wives and children up there?
joe rogan
Did you ever see that John Carpenter movie?
The thing?
Bro.
You never saw that movie?
Kirk Douglas?
I mean, not Kirk Douglas.
Michael Douglas.
God damn it.
Kurt Russell.
Kurt Russell.
It was awesome.
Great.
Dude, movie's incredible.
theo von
I haven't seen that.
joe rogan
Fun horror movie from like, I guess it was probably like the 80s.
theo von
The thing.
joe rogan
Yeah.
theo von
That thing.
joe rogan
There's a comic in that movie.
TK Carter.
A dude who used to perform at the store.
Yeah.
He was at the store, and then he started getting big movies.
And he was in the thing.
theo von
That's wild.
joe rogan
John Carter Sam.
I remember that dude.
I used to hang out with him.
theo von
That's cool.
joe rogan
Yeah.
And the thing was like, at the time, like one of the craziest special effects ever.
It looks kind of corny now.
theo von
Yeah.
joe rogan
Because it's goofy looking.
theo von
But maybe they'll remake it or something.
Sometimes they do that.
joe rogan
But it was about them finding like some spaceship in Antarctica, I believe it was.
I think it was Antarctica.
theo von
I think right away.
joe rogan
Was that where it took place?
Yeah.
theo von
People want us.
I think people want us to find something.
I think people are looking for stuff right now.
People are trying to look for something to give things a little bit more meaning to them, you know?
joe rogan
That's also part of the confusion: everybody's telling you constantly that aliens are real.
You're hearing it constantly, and no one's even flinching.
theo von
Well, if they are real, they don't give a fuck about us.
That's what I'm telling you.
joe rogan
Why do you think that?
You've been listening to Neil deGrasse Tyson?
theo von
No, not a chance.
And B, dude.
But B, dude, they're not coming here and visiting, dude.
joe rogan
They are.
I think they are.
theo von
Here's what I think about it.
I believe that Earth used to be this fun place aliens would come and visit.
It's almost like it's cool tourist park or whatever, and aliens would bring their kids here when they had like holidays or whatever, right?
And now it's like that old place you don't take your kids to anymore.
It's like an old theme park that's kind of going by the wayside.
And now I think aliens are taking their kids or traveling other places on their vacations.
You know what I'm talking about?
joe rogan
Where do you think they're going?
theo von
Places we don't know because we're still fucking here.
joe rogan
Davatar, Pandora.
theo von
Yeah, they're going to dope-ass places.
Like if they pull up here and their kids are like, you took us to fucking Earth.
This place sucks dick, man.
joe rogan
They land in India.
They see a river that's clogged up with water bottles.
Like, what the fuck is this shit?
theo von
Yeah, people washing their hair in fucking booty water or whatever.
Like, get us out of here.
This isn't even cool.
Yeah.
unidentified
No.
joe rogan
This place sucks.
You know what's cool in India?
The old stuff.
theo von
So that's what I do believe, though.
joe rogan
There's a temple in India that is one of the most confusing places I've ever seen where people describe its mass and like how it's made.
It was carved out of a mountain.
The whole temple was entirely carved out of a mountain.
It wasn't built.
They removed the mountain and created this insane, like very symmetrical, incredibly intricate temple.
It doesn't show any chisel marks on it.
It's like hundreds of millions of tons of rocks have been removed.
That thing.
Bro, have you ever seen that?
theo von
No, I haven't.
joe rogan
I watched a whole YouTube documentary on it last night.
What is it called again?
jamie vernon
Khaleesa Temple.
joe rogan
Khaleesa Temple.
Dude, it's fucking bananas.
So they think it was made, it says 6,000 years ago.
theo von
So it's chiseled out of rock.
jamie vernon
18th century is what I was just reading before.
joe rogan
Yeah, I thought it was like much more recent.
theo von
It's tough.
joe rogan
It's like, they think it's 2,000 years old, right?
unidentified
Is that what they think it is?
joe rogan
How old do they think?
Okay, 756 to 777 current era.
So that's like the year 773.
So it's even less than 2,000 years old.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
So they think.
I don't know how they know this, but whatever they know, whoever fucking made it.
How?
Whoever 2,000 years ago made this?
Fucking how.
See if you can, Jamie, see if you can find a video on it where they describe it or they go through it.
Dude, it's nuts.
The video I was watching last night on YouTube, my jaw was open.
I was like, this is crazy.
theo von
Wow.
joe rogan
It's so detailed.
And when you think about just the sheer effort of making this, and if one person fucks this up, one person fucks this up, this whole project's ruined because you're not building it.
You're carving it out of the mountain.
You can't recarve.
And they did it perfectly.
It's nuts, man.
It's really, truly nuts.
theo von
You got to plan ahead with that.
joe rogan
Yeah, you think?
theo von
Yeah, you think.
joe rogan
But how did they do it so well?
I mean, how is it so beautiful?
How is it so symmetrical?
How did they, who fucking asked for this to be built?
How long did it take?
This is nuts, man.
unidentified
Fuck.
joe rogan
This is this whole thing.
It's so impressive.
It's so impressive.
Almost more impressive than some of the stuff from ancient Egypt.
theo von
Yeah.
joe rogan
Because it's all one piece of stone.
The whole thing.
Whoever these people were, man.
theo von
I believe.
I wish they wrote books.
joe rogan
I wish they wrote books on how they did this.
And if they have the books, let them out.
Look at these pillars, man.
Look at this whole thing.
It's all carved out of the mountain.
It's bananas.
Like, it's so special.
theo von
Oh, yeah, that's nice.
joe rogan
Because I don't, I mean, I'm barely grasping it.
I'm trying to put myself in a position of someone who's there physically and looking at this world.
I'm sure I would be blown away.
I'm sure you don't have enough time in a month to really go over this place and really get a feel for it.
Because it's so insane.
Someone was able to do that that long ago.
theo von
Well, people used to have to, like, I think the amount of time and attention you would put into things, you'd have a lot of other things taking your attention, probably.
joe rogan
Also, I think things have happened and we forgot about those things.
And I think things like asteroid impacts, things like super volcanoes, these ice ages, things have happened and destroyed civilization.
And we've forgotten a lot of it and we're relearning it.
We're refiguring it out now.
That's what I think.
That's how you find stuff like that.
Like that, that one doesn't even make sense.
And also, if you make that, who just left it there?
Why'd you guys move?
Where'd you go?
Where'd you go?
We just left this there.
That's nuts.
theo von
Yeah, I'm trying to think of why it was.
joe rogan
That's the Aztecs, too.
There's a bunch of these structures that people just left or they all got diseases.
theo von
Or wiped out.
Yeah, I'm sure they probably got wiped out because even if everybody leaves and if there's a nice place, right, everybody leaves, somebody would, some people would stay like, no, we're just going to sell it.
joe rogan
They got wiped out.
That's why they're not there.
theo von
Something would happen.
And probably, like you're saying, by weather or something big, you know.
joe rogan
Maybe weather, but I think a lot of it is people traveling with a new disease.
I think that killed people in giant chunks all throughout history.
That's what they think happened to the Mayans.
That's what also they think happened to the people that lived in the Amazon.
These, like the City of Z, the Lost City of Z. Did you ever see that movie?
Yeah.
With George Percy Richards, is that what the guy's name was?
jamie vernon
Percy Fawcett.
joe rogan
Percy Fawcett.
So Percy Fawcett was this explorer that went down there.
And so what happened was a group of people had said they went down to the Amazon and they found these golden cities, these spectacular civilizations.
theo von
God, I would like that.
joe rogan
And they went back to Europe and told everybody.
And then 100 years later, they returned to try to find these things.
At least 100.
It might have been longer, right?
All the shit was gone.
Everything was gone.
unidentified
Why?
joe rogan
Because those first guys brought over the cooties.
They brought over diseases.
They brought over diseases and they killed everybody.
And they didn't even.
theo von
How were they spreading the diseases, though, you think?
joe rogan
Just being around them, man.
Like, we, Europeans, I shouldn't say we.
theo von
And nobody noticed that they had something wrong with them.
joe rogan
They were used to it, man.
They were used to being sick.
They were used to those diseases.
You know, they had developed immunity over generations.
theo von
But if you show up at my house with a disease, right?
Like, I'm going to maybe see that something could be wrong with you, you think?
Or you think it's just hidden in your path?
joe rogan
They probably had no fear of it.
They probably had no fear of it because they had never encountered that before.
But you know, they do believe it's possible that the Native Americans gave the Europeans syphilis.
unidentified
Type shit.
joe rogan
Yeah, type shift.
Yeah.
theo von
That's it.
unidentified
That's what they say.
theo von
And I said type shift.
That's what kids say sometimes.
joe rogan
Yeah, when my daughter doesn't want to swear, she says type shift.
theo von
She does.
Oh, I like that.
That's cool.
How are your daughters doing good?
joe rogan
They're great, man.
theo von
They're awesome.
joe rogan
My youngest one loves you.
theo von
Oh, I miss getting that.
Did they go to the fight too?
joe rogan
No, they're going to go to a future one, though.
theo von
I'll let you know.
joe rogan
They do.
They like hanging out with you.
They said it's so fun.
theo von
They're fun, dude.
They're so funny.
It's just been funny to see because I just see them incrementally over the years to get to see them grow up.
And just like.
unidentified
When did we?
joe rogan
I was just thinking of this.
When did we do our first podcast together?
Do you remember?
theo von
I don't know.
joe rogan
Was it like 10 years ago?
theo von
No way.
Eight?
jamie vernon
I would have been.
Let's see.
I'll look it up.
theo von
It's been a while.
Yeah, man.
I can't believe that we've been.
joe rogan
And back then.
theo von
It's all been going on this long.
joe rogan
Yeah, I would have never imagined that you would go down this road and be really good at it, man.
Like, you're real sincere with people.
You ask real good questions.
You know, you're very present.
You know, like you're really, you're funny, but you're also trying to really understand what they're saying.
That's a delicate balance, you know, of be silly and be funny, but also like pay respect to whatever they're trying to say and try to figure out where they're coming from.
You know?
theo von
Yeah.
Well, thanks, dude.
unidentified
Yeah.
theo von
I try to be.
I think there's been a couple times where it's like, yeah, I try to be.
I don't really know what I'm, you know, like, I don't not know what I'm doing.
I mean, I work hard, right?
Like, how you do.
joe rogan
You're figuring it out as you go along, right?
theo von
Yeah.
And I'm still kind of figuring it out, you know.
I don't know sometimes like what like my purpose is in it.
joe rogan
You don't have to have a purpose.
theo von
You don't think?
Maybe that's a trap, huh?
joe rogan
Yeah, it's a trap.
unidentified
But I do care.
joe rogan
I don't think you have a direction.
theo von
I do notice I meet a lot of people and I care about what's going on in their life.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's a direction.
That's good.
Yeah, that's better.
theo von
That makes me feel important.
That makes me feel not important to me, but of some value, right?
Like, even last week when we had Gary Sinise on, he was talking about his son.
Like, his son passed away of cancer, like within the past year.
And just talking about his son, right?
Like, it was just nice.
You know, it was nice for us to sit there together and just talk about his son, right?
Like, stuff like that.
Like, I think it me, it just makes me feel like, I don't know, that kind of stuff means something to me.
joe rogan
So, do you feel like in your regular life, you're not connected enough to people that are talking to you like that?
Is that it?
theo von
Man, that's kind of interesting.
I think I do sometimes have a problem with connection sometimes.
joe rogan
So you somehow or another can be more connected publicly than you can be privately.
theo von
Dude, is that so weird you say that?
I've thought about that before.
joe rogan
Well, I thought about that because of my friendship with you because sometimes you tell me things on air that you don't tell me things in private.
And sometimes in private, you know, look, I love you very much.
And I always try to reach out.
Because the last thing you want is a friend that maybe is going through some shit, not doing well, and maybe you could have reached out and you didn't.
theo von
Yeah, for sure.
joe rogan
That feeling.
It's a terrible feeling.
theo von
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know, that you could have helped your friend and you didn't help your friend.
You know, but you have a hard time expressing yourself in person sometimes.
You know, like sometimes I'd be asking, like, what's, well, tell me what's up.
Tell me what's bothering you.
You know, tell me, like, how do you feel?
What'd you do?
And there's like a thing where it's almost like a blockade where you'd rather just like ignore it.
You know what I mean?
theo von
Yeah.
joe rogan
But then when you're talking publicly, you like to address everything, which I find very interesting.
It's like you almost feel more comfortable exposing various parts of things that you don't like about life or your life or what's bothering you about life publicly.
You're better off.
You're better at doing that than you are privately with your friends.
theo von
I think that there's this thing inside of me sometimes that I feel like people don't trust me one-on-one.
joe rogan
They don't trust you?
theo von
Or there's some trust thing.
Maybe it's not me.
I don't know.
I'm trying to think about it.
joe rogan
You don't trust them, maybe?
theo von
No, I don't know.
I'm trying to think of, as you're telling them, as we're talking about this, I'm trying to feel it at the same time and see what I'm feeling about it, you know?
unidentified
Right.
theo von
Because it's interesting to me because I love thinking about this kind of stuff, you know, like and trying to figure out why I operate or why we operate certain ways, you know?
unidentified
Right.
theo von
Yeah, I think sometimes, I don't know, it's hard for me to maybe say what's going on sometimes.
Sometimes I don't know what's going on.
You know, sometimes I like just, yeah, if I talk with somebody and then some of the biggest conversations I have are on podcasting now.
It's like, you know, that's when I'll talk the most.
And so I'll sit there and have moments that are like, that's kind of my biggest conversations.
joe rogan
Well, it's kind of the only time you have real conversations because every other time you have conversations, there's usually multiple people around and everyone's checking their phone, you know, and everyone's going in and out of the room and everyone's going to take a leak, like green room conversations.
It's kind of almost like a podcast in and of itself, right?
theo von
Yeah, it's fun.
joe rogan
But there's also people showing each other funny memes and, you know, we're all watching videos, fucked up things that happened.
theo von
Yeah, listening to music joking around.
That's a little bit more of a bigger atmosphere.
joe rogan
Right.
But the point is, it's like you don't have these kind of conversations outside of podcasts.
The only time you or I have these kind of conversations is right in front of each other where we agree.
We're going to just sit and talk for like three fucking hours with no interruptions.
theo von
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's kind of weird, but I feel like in that form, you get relaxed.
And in that form, you talk about yourself like honestly.
You're introspective and open about it, which I find very fascinating that you don't do that privately.
theo von
Yeah.
Yeah, it's funny.
It is kind of interesting.
I don't know why either.
I think maybe there's something where like I thought like I have like I'm I have to there's something inside of me that has to be of value or something.
I don't know.
joe rogan
I'm trying to feel like you don't want to be a burden maybe.
You don't want to annoy people with talking about your problems.
So here's the thing.
Like when you started talking about like having issues in life, I was shocked because I've thought about all the times that I'm with you.
Like, Theo's always the life of the party.
We're always having fun.
I don't get it.
Like, how could you possibly be not doing well?
That don't even make sense to me.
theo von
Yeah.
joe rogan
Because, like, everybody loves him.
He's so fun to be around.
You know, like, why would you not feel good?
That doesn't make sense.
You know, so then I had to listen to you talk like in podcasts.
And I was like, oh, okay.
Well, there's some ways that he talks publicly that you don't necessarily talk a lot privately.
So your friends sometimes don't even know if things aren't going so well.
theo von
Well, I think for some reason, whenever I started podcasting, I started to kind of have a conversation with myself for like sometimes the first time in my life, maybe where I was like having like some dialogue with myself, you know?
joe rogan
Because you did a lot of them solo, too, right?
unidentified
Yeah.
theo von
Probably the first hundred or something were solo or something, pretty much.
unidentified
Yeah.
theo von
And so I think.
joe rogan
So then you're forcing yourself to do a totally new thing, which is to not just like go on momentum, but to actually think about something for like at least an hour where you're talking and just thinking about stuff.
unidentified
Yeah.
theo von
And that was probably the most fun I ever had in some ways, I think.
And also it was like a learning.
And then now people can call in our show and they'll leave voicemails.
So sometimes we'll listen to those and talk about that kind of stuff.
And that's something I want to get more into because that's something that I like really care about, you know?
But yeah, I don't know.
I don't know why some ways are easier for me than others.
I have thought about that before, though.
joe rogan
Yeah.
theo von
I have thought about that.
It's the same reason, like even being in a relationship.
I remember when I was getting a relationship with a woman, it was so hard for me to look at them or to be super close.
That was super hard.
But it was easy for me to have a microphone and talk to people in a group.
You know, like there's some things that are just like, I just feel like a lot of pressure, I feel like, when I was in that kind of situation.
Like, I think there was something about it.
Like, if somebody, I don't know.
I think there was always a part of me when I was young, like, if I looked, if I looked somebody in the eyes or something, like they weren't going to believe me.
joe rogan
Really?
theo von
Does that make any sense at all?
I know it's a weird thing to say, but.
joe rogan
No, it does make sense.
theo von
There was a part of me, like, yeah.
And I'm not trying to like self-pity or like look at like, you know, do I seem like I'm being self-pity?
unidentified
No.
theo von
Okay, good.
Because I like to examine stuff, but I'm not like, you know, being like, woe is me.
I'm just trying to like look at it, right?
joe rogan
Well, you got to think, as a kid growing up, you had a lot of negative interactions with people, you know?
theo von
Yeah, nobody ever looked at me.
Nobody ever looked at me and was like, what's going on with this kid?
Or looked me in the eyes or like people were busy and working and like just trying to keep us surviving.
So I think later when I got into relationships and you'd be right there with a woman and they'd be looking at you, it made me really nervous and scared.
Because you're like, damn, these bitches are pulling up.
unidentified
You know, and that shit was like, like, baby girl.
joe rogan
You weren't used to intimate relationships.
theo von
Right.
So intimacy made me super uncomfortable, right?
joe rogan
Well, you weren't used to trusting people.
theo von
Yeah.
And probably not even used to really trusting myself.
I don't think I knew who I was.
joe rogan
And probably not used to people being nice to you.
You had to get used to accustomed to people being nice to you.
theo von
Well, we grew up in like a scary place, and so I felt like I wasn't sure if people were going to be or not, you know?
And so I think that made it like pretty tough when I was young.
But yeah, I don't know.
Some of it, it's been an interesting, it's been an interesting experience, you know.
And that's life.
It's just like.
joe rogan
Life is an interesting experience.
It really truly is.
But it can be awesome and it can suck.
And the reason why it's awesome is because it can suck.
Like that's, you need them all while we're human.
And I think that's, we have a, we have only so much sand left in that hourglass where the humans are on the way out.
I know a lot of people hate it when Peter Thiel says it.
Like, Peter Thiel is a terrible person.
He's evil.
He's here.
theo von
Do you think this is?
joe rogan
No.
I think he's just telling you the truth.
I think he's, you know, when they said, do you think human beings should survive?
And he had like this long pause.
theo von
Oh, yeah, I remember.
joe rogan
And then the interviewer was like, the answer is yes.
Yes or yes.
Which is not how you're supposed to do an interview.
Well, at least not how I do it.
I would let him talk as long as he wants.
If you watch my podcast I did with him, this is long-ass stammers.
He's like, everything he does.
He wants to be very careful before he answers it.
So he wants to consider what he's saying.
If you ask me the same question, is it important that humans survive?
theo von
Okay.
joe rogan
Is it important that Australia Pythagoras survived?
It's not.
Is it important that Neanderthal survived?
It's not currently.
Currently not important.
Is it important that humans stay in this form?
It's not.
It's not going to be.
If we're going to evolve to something way better than this, how many people go, I missed the old days when you could lie and you couldn't read minds and people were a lot more rapey.
No, no one's going to say that.
No one's going to, I miss the wars.
I miss stealing and credit card fraud.
I missed the good old days of a rigged stock market.
theo von
When the Jets won.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
No, no, no.
No one's going to say that.
They're going to move on to what's next.
So Peter Thiel's right.
It doesn't mean I don't love you.
It doesn't mean that being a person isn't important to me.
Yeah, it is to me because I'm a person.
But I'm also, if I step outside of being a person and I look at where this thing is going, I'm like, it's going in a different direction.
It's not going in the direction of mRNA vaccines and lying politicians.
It's not.
It's not going in that direction.
It's going in some sort of digital god direction.
And we're either going to join on fucking real quick, real quick, like within a few years.
We have, I think, what is it, 2026 almost.
We're real close to that.
I think by the time 2030 rolls around, it's a wrap.
theo von
Bet.
joe rogan
It's a wrap.
theo von
Do you think that money will have any value at that point or no?
joe rogan
You don't know what it's going to mean anymore.
And the problem is going to be some people are going to be in control of assets.
Some people are going to be in control of money.
See, money is just right now, mostly, if we're not on the gold standard, what is money?
If your bill doesn't represent you could go to Fort Knox and they'll give you a brick for whatever that money, you know, they'll give you a brick of gold that's worth that money.
If that's not real, if we don't have that anymore, and if we're on some sort of digital thing, and if they can just spend money and then inflation rises and all this money that we spend on wars and all this other crazy, it's not, where is it going to come from?
We don't have any money.
We're $37 trillion in debt.
They just print it up.
And if they just print it up, that makes money less and less valuable.
And that's what inflation is all about.
And at some point in time, that's just ones and zeros.
And when you have quantum computers that are basically like digital gods and they're in charge of all the assets and all the money of the world and they're not human.
They're not human.
And they're just going to stop it all.
They're going to say, no, we'll decide how much resources you get to stay alive for as long as this body lasts because you're not breeding anyway.
Our fucking population is dropping off of a cliff.
Overpopulation is a real problem.
It's not, we don't have the correct levels in most giant countries.
Like Japan.
Japan is not in a restorative level.
Like they're not even close.
theo von
They're disappearing.
joe rogan
They have a real population collapse problem.
South Korea, a real population collapse problem.
Eventually that's going to come here.
That was one of the arguments that they had to keep the border open.
That was one of the Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi arguments.
You know, we're not having enough kids.
We need to bring people in.
Shut the fuck up.
unidentified
Shut the fuck up.
theo von
There's no way I can look at Chuck Schumer and think he's a good guy.
joe rogan
He looks like a great guy.
theo von
If you asked a baby who had been here one day, who's a bad, pick a bad guy out of this?
unidentified
Bro, did you ever see the video when it's fucking dark out there, man?
theo von
That's why we just got to love each other and do the best we can.
Have a nice creme brulee, hug a buddy, tickle your friend or whatever, tell him he's gay or something.
joe rogan
That's a good move.
I just opened up my Instagram and he popped up and he was.
He's lying.
No, I'm not lying.
theo von
You were lying.
What's he trying to sell you?
Some bullshit?
joe rogan
It's something important.
He accidentally said the quiet part out loud about the Epstein files.
theo von
They all are doing that, dude.
joe rogan
All right, let's see what he said.
Harold send it to you, Jamie.
They got me these motherfuckers.
They got me.
theo von
How much longer does Israel let us stay alive, do you think?
joe rogan
That's the big question.
theo von
What did you say?
Is that AI?
joe rogan
What are you saying?
theo von
That's Sora?
joe rogan
What the fuck are you saying?
theo von
I didn't say anything.
joe rogan
What are you saying?
theo von
Huh?
Israel out of Sonia.
joe rogan
Oh, well, he loves you.
Don't worry about it.
theo von
Good call.
joe rogan
Fuck are you saying, son?
What did he say?
What did he say about the Epstein files?
unidentified
What did he say?
joe rogan
Let's hear what he said.
He looks great.
theo von
Yeah, he's been drinking somebody's blood.
unidentified
He's the last four years when President Biden was in office.
chuck schumer
Well, that's the question every American is asking.
Or not every American, but so many Americans are asking.
What the hell is he hiding?
unidentified
Why wouldn't you?
joe rogan
Well, why are they killing?
That was a useless clip.
theo von
This whole thing is all bullshit now.
It's all BS.
joe rogan
Well, it's fun.
theo von
Do you think he's alive?
You think Epstein's alive?
joe rogan
I do not think so.
You don't?
No, I think they killed him.
If I had to guess.
There's too much circumstantial evidence that leads me to believe that it was an assassination.
You know, I know a lot of people think that he committed suicide.
A lot of very smart people that I know think he committed suicide.
I'm like, there's too many convenient things.
The cut wires, the security cameras, rather, not working.
They weren't cut, right?
It just stopped.
They didn't function.
Security cameras didn't function.
The fact that he had shared a cell with this giant fucking former cop who was a murderer who had killed multiple people.
Just giant roided up cop.
This is a cellmate.
Like, if you wanted to get somebody, look, bro, extra Twinkies.
Take this guy out.
Like, it wouldn't be hard.
He's already killed a bunch of people.
He was a drug dealer.
Do you ever see the guy?
Do you ever see the guy who was his cellmate?
No, but it's like it's kind of hilarious.
theo von
It's like when you're a freshman in college and they just put you with somebody, you know?
joe rogan
You wanted to get someone killed?
You have a high-profile witness, okay?
High-profile witness in the craziest sex trafficking conspiracy of all time, where a guy who may or may not have been an intelligence asset or an intelligence agent or whatever the fuck he was for whatever country, this guy is he's arrested for sex trafficking to elites, and then you put him in jail.
theo von
Oh my God.
joe rogan
With that guy.
theo von
I thought that was a guy that fought Mike Tyson.
Remember that dude who read that poem?
joe rogan
Bro, you put him in jail with that guy.
All you have to do is get that guy cigarettes and steroids.
You tell him, I got you Marlboro Reds and Tren.
I got you testosterone replacement for life, even though you're going to still be in jail.
theo von
I got you some Marlboro fucking 200.
joe rogan
Dude, he was found guilty of killing four men, and they put him in a cell with Epstein.
Look at the size of that fucking savvy.
theo von
Big guy.
joe rogan
Giant fucking muscle-bound steroided up dude.
And they put him in a cell with Epstein.
And Epstein got strangled.
unidentified
Well, Epstein might have been not Sherlock Holmes.
joe rogan
But I think there might be a connection there.
theo von
Epstein was probably trying to slurp him.
I bet that dude was such a pervert, dude.
joe rogan
Well, if he didn't kill him, then somebody killed him.
theo von
I bet he was such a pervert.
joe rogan
I think somebody killed him.
Retired Westchester cop charged with killing four in cocaine deal after bodies dug up on his property.
Bro, he buried them in his backyard.
theo von
Yeah.
joe rogan
That's a crazy motherfucker.
theo von
Or that's a good gardener, dude.
That guy's fucking composting.
What are you even talking about?
joe rogan
That's true.
It's a better way to deal with it.
They're already dead.
What are you going to do?
Let them go to waste or bring them back to Mother Earth.
theo von
Those are leftovers.
That guy's Italian, dude.
They love leftovers.
joe rogan
How deep do you think he dug it?
I bet he was pretty lazy.
theo von
That guy's pretty jacked.
I don't know.
joe rogan
I bet he got tired, though.
They don't have good cardio.
theo von
You're right.
joe rogan
It's a lot of cardio involved in digging.
theo von
Two feet.
joe rogan
How many bodies?
Four bodies?
Bro, four bodies is four six-foot graves.
Do you think he did a mass grave all on top of each other, or do you think he was respectful and made four individual holes?
theo von
I bet it was more like, you know, when you open up a box of chocolates like that, kind of.
I don't think it was like a teeth or whatever.
Like I'm saying it was like a four-pack of cannolis or whatever.
joe rogan
Right there.
theo von
Yeah.
joe rogan
Right?
Take the lid off.
You see feet.
theo von
Just a dusting of confectionist sugar on them.
joe rogan
Cocaine deal went bad.
theo von
Fuck.
joe rogan
Roided up cop.
But imagine.
theo von
That's horrible.
joe rogan
But imagine you are the most high-profile person being charged.
theo von
They put him in there on purpose with that guy.
joe rogan
A hundred.
How could they not?
theo von
They did.
They would.
joe rogan
How would you not like why?
theo von
You worry about him with anybody.
joe rogan
If you're worried about the guy dying, why would you put him in the room and lock him in a bedroom, a tiny little bedroom with a roided up murderer?
Just stop and think about that.
You're in a room smaller than this fucking studio that you and I are in right now with a roided up murderer.
You're sleeping with that guy.
Oh, and you wind up getting strangled.
Oh, you hung yourself.
unidentified
Yeah.
theo von
How would you sleep?
Say you're in a, say you have to go to jail, right?
joe rogan
I wouldn't sleep.
theo von
I know, but I'm just saying, Joe, if you had to go to jail, right?
You're in jail for something that you've done or didn't do.
Doesn't matter.
unidentified
Right.
theo von
How do you sleep at night?
And there's a big dude in there.
joe rogan
You sleep with your mouth open so he doesn't have to force it over.
Sleep like that.
theo von
Oh, no, no, bro.
That's crazy.
But do you sleep with your butt against the wall or away from the wall?
joe rogan
That's a good question.
theo von
You sleep on your back or you're.
joe rogan
It depends on what kind of pervert this dude is.
He might be one of them dick sucker guys.
He just wants to suck your dick while he jacks off.
You know, then you'd want to sleep with your ass to him.
I'd be like, turn over.
Suck your dick.
Like, no, I'm trying to sleep.
theo von
Hey, I told you, I'm trying to sleep.
joe rogan
Oh, bro, it's all crazy.
And then you find out that prisons are private too.
unidentified
What?
joe rogan
Like, people are, there's a business in having jails.
So then you find out that prison guard unions are also responsible for keeping marijuana illegal.
They get involved in it too.
Prison guard unions because they want to keep the work coming.
theo von
But it just feels like at some point, how do you think it's always been this way through history where people have felt like it you just feel like such a like a peon of like some corrupt financial system?
Do you think it's always been that way?
Or do you think this is like kind of like a highlight of it for America?
joe rogan
Well, this is worse than it's ever been before for sure.
And the United States is worse than every other country when it comes to incarcerations.
theo von
But this is a business.
They want us to keep it busy.
joe rogan
In the UK, they probably could use a few incarcerations.
They're letting people loose that are doing horrible shit.
And they're not enforcing crimes over there.
That place is getting real squirrely.
But, you know, the United States, half the people are in there for nonviolent drug offenses.
Half of them, right?
I think that's the number.
Put that into perplexity.
What percentage of people in American prisons are there for nonviolent drug offenses?
I think it's like half.
So it's basically, you know, it's a byproduct of prohibition that's led to millions of incarcerations where people are locked down for the rest of their fucking life.
theo von
I would hate that shit, dude.
joe rogan
Because somebody wants something and you don't think they should be able to have it.
So you will arrest people, sell them to them, and you will lock them all up for possessing it.
theo von
If I 43.
joe rogan
43% of federal prisoners in the United States are serving time for drug offenses, which are predominantly nonviolent.
Additionally, about 72% of federal prisoners are serving sentences for nonviolent crimes, including drug offenses with a significant portion related to drug possession and trafficking.
72%.
72 point in federal prisons, 72.1% of inmates are incarcerated for nonviolent offenses.
More than half, 55% in federal prisons serving time for drug offenses.
So 43% of federal prisoners in the United States are serving time for drug offenses, but 55% are serving time for drug offenses in the summary of key data.
So it must be like, this is what's happening when AI is drawing from multiple different sources.
I think they're giving you different numbers.
So it's somewhere between 43 and 55%.
unidentified
Yeah.
theo von
I think it's interesting.
Like, I guess you don't know which ones are like weed, which ones are cocaine, heroin, fentanyl, all that kind of stuff.
joe rogan
Look at this type of offenses.
The majority of drug-related incarcerations involve possession, which is classified as a nonviolent offense.
So put this.
Other than drug offenses and drug possession, what percentage of people are in jail for nonviolent crimes?
Put that in there.
jamie vernon
Like discount drugs?
joe rogan
Yeah, without, other than drug offenses, what percentage of people are in jail for nonviolent crimes?
unidentified
I got to get a family, I think.
Yeah, I think that would be good for you.
joe rogan
Okay, let's see.
unidentified
Nonviolent.
joe rogan
What does it say?
Okay.
Other than drug offenses, about 25% of the daily jail population nationally is incarcerated for low-level nonviolent offenses, including misdemeanors and public order offenses.
13% are there for property offenses such as burglary, and around 11% for public ordered offenses, nonviolent infractions such as weapons charges, propriety.
The problem with that is property offenses like burglary can lead to violence.
Like that's the, that, that's next door to violence.
It's not violent, but like those guys that got shot breaking into that guy's house.
As soon as you're breaking into people's property, you're getting super close to violence.
unidentified
Yeah.
theo von
I think that's violent.
I mean, it's like if you're inflicting like fear on somebody, they're in their own home.
Fuck you, dude.
That's pretty violent to me.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's not violent in that you're hurting a physical person, but you're breaking into their house and anything goes once you break into someone's house.
You know, everybody knows that.
You break into someone's house, anything goes.
They don't know why you're there.
They don't know that you're just a petty thief.
They have no idea.
They're going to fucking shoot you.
We all know that.
jamie vernon
Since the numbers are getting small left over, I Googled the other thing, the opposite.
Or not Google Server Perplexity, the opposite thing.
How many are in for violent crimes?
unidentified
Right.
jamie vernon
62% in state prison, but only like 7 to 10% in federal.
joe rogan
Interesting.
Interesting.
jamie vernon
Most federal inmates are serving sentences related to drug and public order defenses.
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
That's nuts.
theo von
Yeah, I mean, it's just...
joe rogan
That is so nuts, man.
It's like that.
theo von
Do you think it's weed?
I mean, what do you think it is?
joe rogan
No, no, no.
It's probably cocaine.
Cocaine's the big one, right?
Cocaine laced with fentanyl.
And then there's pills, and then there's meth.
Meth is a big one, too.
Those are the ones that everybody's really terrified of.
No one's really – the marijuana thing is a disingenuous argument because the marijuana thing is really – There's a bunch of special interests that want marijuana to stay illegal.
The actual people that think that marijuana is dangerous are pretty small and they're not totally wrong.
This is a very important point.
Marijuana is not completely safe yeah, just like alcohol is not completely safe.
Um, I think there are certain people that, for whatever reason, the way they're wired, marijuana can fuck with them and badly, and there's some evidence that it could trigger psychosis or yeah, or or um, Just some sort of a psychotic break.
There's real evidence.
theo von
Oh, definitely, dude.
That shit, some of that shit's bad off, dude.
I've taken some shit.
Dude, I'll.
joe rogan
Powder or crack cocaine offenses.
Go back.
Account for more than 54% of drug offenders.
So that's most of it.
And then there's meth, 24%.
And marijuana represents 12%.
But I guarantee you that marijuana thing, that's dudes who are growing.
You know, you're growing and dealing if they're hitting you up in federal prison.
Heroin offenders account for 6%.
That's weird.
I would have thought it would have been higher.
Just 6% for heroin because they're so chill, they never get in trouble.
They never get caught.
theo von
But the family that made, but the family that did that, the opioid epidemic is still just out there.
joe rogan
Sackler family, which is out and about.
theo von
Sackler family is still out there.
joe rogan
They might be responsible for a million people losing their lives.
theo von
And the ripple effect of that through families?
joe rogan
Yeah, that's what I mean.
I mean, suicides, drug addictions, families falling apart, lives destroyed.
theo von
Where do you think people find a sense of purpose these days, Ninja?
Because it certainly feels like the fabric of some of America.
It used to feel like that gave us a lot of purpose, right?
And some of that feels like it's not there anymore.
Do you feel like that's a true statement?
unidentified
Or what do you think?
joe rogan
Well, I think this is also part of the problem with social media is that we feel that way.
theo von
Okay.
joe rogan
And while we feel that way, that everything's falling apart, we still have our neighbors.
We still have our friends.
We still have the places we go.
You still have all the community that we always had.
You know, we still have the mothership.
We still go to nice restaurants.
You still hang out with your friends and watch the game.
You're still alive on earth, but you're so overwhelmed by this fucking constant onslaught of bad news.
theo von
That's a good point.
joe rogan
That you're freaking out always.
But then you got ICE raids where they're taking people that are American citizens and they're scaring the shit out of everybody.
theo von
Dude, they made me the video thing.
You see that thing where they put on the video?
joe rogan
Oh, that was crazy.
They didn't even ask you.
theo von
Well, it was really scary.
joe rogan
You were just joking around because you were talking to a guy who's talking, his friend.
And this was quite a while ago, too, right?
When was that video?
theo von
Yeah, I don't know.
It could have been like a year and a half ago or something.
I don't remember.
But that was crazy.
joe rogan
But it was like, it was a joke, right?
theo von
She's like a friend.
I don't know if she said a friend of mine got deported.
I can't remember what she said.
But she's like, do you have anything to say to him, right?
And I was like, bye.
You know?
I'm clowning around.
I have no idea if it's real or not.
I have no idea.
joe rogan
You have no idea.
It's literally someone just handed you a phone.
And then Homeland Security, was that what it was?
theo von
You had to put it up online.
And it was the Charlie Kirk thing.
Yeah.
And so then I was like super scared.
You remember?
Remember, I was texting like you.
I was just texting people to make sure everybody's okay.
I didn't know if they were like just going to kill people that had been on TikTok or whatever.
I had no idea what they were going to do.
joe rogan
I just can't believe they did that with you where they just put it in there as if like you were endorsing that.
theo von
Well, it just kind of, and it was just a scary time.
That was the same time as after the Charlie Kirk thing.
joe rogan
Who green lit that?
theo von
Probably just some fucking trap beat.
joe rogan
Like if a company did that, you could sue them.
You know what I'm saying?
Like if it was privatized, like if ICE was a private company and that was the people that the United States hired to get rid of illegal immigrants and they used you, you would sue them.
You could sue them.
theo von
Well, it was just scary.
joe rogan
But the government can just put that up there and then what did you do?
You had to formally request them taking it down?
theo von
Yeah, I had to hire an attorney to get help to take it down.
joe rogan
How long did it take to take it down?
theo von
I think like 48 hours or something, but it had like 30 million views over a couple platforms.
joe rogan
And how many people even know it was taken down until they just heard you say it?
Of course not.
I knew because you told me, but I couldn't believe it.
When you first asked me what I should do about this, I was like, oh, it's probably nothing.
And I was in the car and I didn't watch it.
Then I got to the club.
Then I talked to you from the club.
And you're like, you didn't see it?
I was like, no.
And then I saw it.
I was like, oh my God.
What the fuck are they doing?
It's like, that's not how you envision the government.
The government made a hype video.
unidentified
Yeah.
theo von
They were making like deportation hype videos with trap beats and shit.
And I was like, what are we doing?
That's what I'm saying.
Everything is turned into like the WWE.
It's none of it's real.
joe rogan
It's 100% that Mike Judge movie.
It's idiocracy.
theo von
Oh, idiocracy.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah.
theo von
But yeah, that was scary, man, because then I got a little, because it was just like a lot of threats.
And then it, then, and then things got like, then it was just kind of, that, that made me super, that made me kind of paranoid.
And then my mom was visiting, and we went to the doctor.
I went to the doctor.
I was just getting something looked at or something, you know.
And I was in the doctor's office and there was a nurse asking me questions or whatever, blah, blah, blah.
And then she's like, I have something for you.
I was like, huh?
And she's like, oh, I got, I brought you something.
Can I give it to you?
And I was like, I'm at a doctor's office.
Like something she'd made, something I don't know.
For you?
unidentified
Yes.
joe rogan
Oh, she's a fan.
theo von
Something.
And normally I think it might have been like, okay, let me like, but I was just like, it was such a weird time.
And my mom was visiting.
And it was like after the Charlie Kirk thing, it was just super scary.
You just didn't know what was going on.
Like, watching that guy get killed was crazy.
joe rogan
Like it was, and you know what's crazy to me is the way people reacted.
Oh, that scared me just as much as watching him get shot.
theo von
Well, yeah, yeah.
And let me think about that in just a second.
I'm just thinking through the end of this.
If you don't mind, real quick.
Sorry.
I know you're not interrupting me.
No, no worries.
So I'm in this doctor's office and it was just weird.
You know, like I'm at the doctor.
It made me feel like nothing was safe.
Like it, like, it compounded in my head, like, oh, nothing's safe, right?
No place is safe where like, because I'd just given this girl like medical information.
I'm like, is this okay?
You know?
And so I talked to the doctor and it was all cool and stuff.
And like, but then I go outside and I was sitting in my car.
My mom was out there with me and like it had just like been a lot, like a lot of stress.
And I'm sitting there.
I kind of was like kind of tearing up talking to my mom and just like, you know, I told her what happened in the doctor's office, you know?
And it was after the DHS thing.
Just a lot of stuff that felt like you don't have any, there's no, you're solid.
You're, no one, I can't think of what I'm saying.
Like you're not safe.
Like there's no.
joe rogan
Well, I think you think that way in particular because you're famous.
So what you, what you felt like you were having a normal professional experience at a doctor and then all of a sudden it became a fan experience where you're kind of trapped.
theo von
Right.
That's what I felt like.
And it's a doctor where you're supposed to trust like you can be at a doctor.
And I'm sitting there with my mom and she kind of like put her, put her hand on me, you know, and she's like, you know, everything will be okay.
And then I look up out of the window and there was some young man literally this far from my window with his phone like filming me.
And it was just like, it was just like this, it was just like, that was like a tough time where I think everything, I just got kind of paranoid.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's a weird thing that people think is totally normal to do.
Just point a camera at people and film them because they're famous at a doctor's office.
theo von
Yeah.
unidentified
But it's like, I just want to put it up on my Instagram and I'm going to get 300 likes.
joe rogan
Look, here it is.
Me and Theo motherfucking von.
unidentified
Yeah.
I'm outside.
joe rogan
He's getting his pancreas looked at.
unidentified
It's crazy, dude.
joe rogan
They could break your medical information.
theo von
It felt like it was a movie, though, and they were trying to break you.
Like it felt like this, like a couple weird things.
unidentified
That's a person.
joe rogan
That's a personal thing, though.
That's a personal thing with you because you're famous.
That's one of the reasons why you think that everything's falling apart because you think everything's falling apart for you because you're dealing with the fact that you're crazy famous.
Yeah.
That's why you have this elevated sense of everything falling apart.
Like look at the example that you cited.
A lady who loves you, who's a doctor, but she wants to give you something.
And you thought, man, I thought it was just at a doctor.
Now I'm trapped with some person because you feel like you're trapped a lot.
Trapped a lot talking to crazy people or people that want something from you, people that are grabbing at you.
That's what it is.
That's why you personally feel like everything's falling apart because you're having a hard time navigating your new situation.
And then also your new situation is very different than just you as a comedian.
Because this new situation is you voicing your opinions about things and some things controversial and some things not so much.
But then people enjoy it and so it gets a lot of attention.
And when it gets a lot of attention, you also get a lot of haters.
You're going to get a lot of jealous people.
You're going to get a lot of people that just disagree with your choices and guests.
You've got a lot of people that think that what you're doing is dangerous.
There's a lot of like really fucking idiot, really idiotic opinions that people attach to you that don't make any sense, but they're still out there.
And so you're dealing with that too.
And that's a new thing that you're dealing with that you never dealt with before.
And it's part of why you have this accelerated thought that everything is falling apart.
I don't think it's falling apart as bad as everybody thinks.
But I think it's something that it deserves consideration.
Like, we could, this all could fall apart.
And it could fall apart in a lot of very bad ways.
And there's a lot of natural ways it could happen, like we talked about before, but it could also be self-inflicted.
And at all costs, we have to avoid the self-inflicted thing.
And the only way to avoid it is to not be on a side.
You can't be on that side or this side, but instead be on the side of the greater good of everybody.
And that's possible too.
You have to force politicians to do that.
theo von
But is that going to happen with politicians?
I mean, look at Eric Adams this morning.
He just did, or whatever that thing was.
He's like, thanked, said he served Israel the best he could.
It's like, I don't even know if we feel like American.
joe rogan
Everyone wanted a check.
theo von
We probably did.
joe rogan
Got a nice check.
theo von
I flew over to get that bag.
joe rogan
Yeah, flew over, got the bag, driving a new Cadillac now.
Bro, they just pay people.
The crazy thing is that Israel pays people for social media posts.
theo von
Do they really?
joe rogan
I read that.
Let's put that into perplexity.
Is that true?
That might be another Russian hoax.
I was reading that there's countries, and I don't think it's just Israel, by the way.
There's countries that will pay influencers to post positive things about them.
theo von
Yeah.
Really?
unidentified
Yeah.
theo von
Oh, well, even Qatar was like, they wanted me to come and experience their country, right?
And I had a nice time while I was there.
Like, I think it was really neat, but we didn't really talk about if they have different points of view about things or what some of their rules and things like that are, you know?
joe rogan
But did they want you to post nice things about them?
theo von
I think they wanted to experience you to experience their country.
Yes.
joe rogan
Israel has paid social media influencers to post content promoting its image, particularly in the United States, with reports indicating payments of up to $7,000 per post.
This campaign, known as the Esther Projects project, is managed by a firm called Bridges Partners LLC, which works on behalf of the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The program is disclosed under the U.S. Foreign Agents Registration Act, meaning that these payments are legally reported and require influencers to disclose that their content is funded by a foreign government.
That's crazy.
theo von
Well, I just don't see how we're supporting this country after the genocide.
I just don't see how that we are, how that's okay to people.
And I think that's the part of me that I don't understand, right, about this, their leadership there and stuff.
I just do not understand it.
But then you start to think, well, am I crazy?
Because it seems like it's just okay that the politicians all think that this is okay and so few of them speak up about it.
joe rogan
Well, I think this is what's separating the old people from the young people in this country.
Like if you look at the numbers of how many people that are like 18 to 34 that support the war in Gaza, it's very low.
It's very, very, very low.
Because this is the first time you've ever been able to see what happens when a superpower is attacking a country that essentially doesn't have an army, and they're doing it for years, and they're just blowing buildings up.
Like, we've never really seen that before.
This is the first time in a time where everyone has cell phones, right?
Obviously, this has happened.
You know, countries have bombed each other, Dresden.
There's been Hiroshima, of course, Nagasaki.
They blew up entire cities, right?
But we didn't get to watch it happen bit by bit.
You didn't get to see drone footage that's in 4K.
You didn't get to see cell phone footage of missiles being fired into camps of people waiting in line for food.
You didn't get to see any of that shit.
And you're seeing wild shit.
But then you're also seeing horrible things that Hamas is doing, too.
You're seeing people getting publicly executed in front of cheering crowds.
You're seeing people get dragged out, kicked to the ground, gunned in the head.
You're seeing the horrors of war is what you're seeing on both sides.
And we just have a hard time accepting that that's the only way to do things.
And I think the young people of this country, they don't want any part of anything like that anymore.
They have been told by their parents.
They've been told by the people they grew up with that war is hell, there shouldn't be any war.
And most of this shit happens because people are making money.
That's what most of it has.
They prolong it so they can make more money.
They want weapons development.
They want to launch new shit.
They want to sell shit to people that need weapons.
And most young people are aware of that now.
Where I think most people, my parents' age, all they had was the Vietnam War.
They knew the Vietnam War was bad, but they didn't, I don't think they really knew the extent of how much corruption is involved in everything that our government does.
Everything has the hand of some corporation attached to it.
Everything has the influence of some foreign government or some country that has massive resources.
There's always, it's never clean.
Nothing's clean.
theo von
Well, it just felt like me, I think a lot of times, well, for one, it feels like they're going to stop allowing TikTok.
Like people are going to own it.
I think they're selling it or something, so they probably won't be able to show stuff like that anymore.
joe rogan
Well, they sold it to Larry Ellison's company, right?
Isn't that who bought TikTok?
Yeah, I want to be sure.
theo von
But do you think they'll do that so they can limit its control, like control what goes on it?
joe rogan
The real worry that they had before that sale was that China was in control of it.
And I think they're right.
And I think that if you have a foreign country and a foreign country is using a very popular social media website to spread propaganda, spread things that absolutely aren't true, along with, I'm sure some things that are true.
But they have their finger on which way the influence goes.
That's dangerous.
That's dangerous.
Now, I'm not saying that Larry Ellison's company is going to do a great job of being totally objective and letting people criticize Israel, letting people criticize Hamas.
I don't know.
We'll see.
We'll have to see.
I'd be crazy.
unidentified
Yeah, I don't know.
theo von
I never met that guy.
I don't know anything about him.
joe rogan
It'd be crazy for me to say any differently.
But it's not safe to have a foreign country that is actively trying to fuck with the way people have discourse in America, which is certainly what China's doing.
jamie vernon
So according to the, it hasn't yet changed place.
The shutdown had something to do with this.
And this article is from today, I think, where people in Congress still don't even know what's going on.
joe rogan
Right.
So this says Congress is still waiting to get briefed on how TikTok's sale would actually stop Chinese algorithms from causing harm to U.S. citizens, U.S. military, and U.S. interests, she said.
The lack of transparency has caused concern for both Democrats and Republicans who are still waiting for secure briefings on how to stop malign actions.
Yeah.
So this is the thing is like, that's a good point because they do it on X.
So Chinese bots, they swarm X.
And there was a former FBI analyst, we read this article 100 times.
His estimation, this is right around the time Elon was buying Twitter, that it could be as much as 80% bots.
theo von
Oh, so much as bots, it seems like.
So much as bots.
joe rogan
But this is what this is.
This is like China.
This is Russia.
This is foreign countries that they'll say things about USAID.
They'll say things about gay rights.
They'll say things about LBGTQ, whatever issues.
Whatever it is, the border, whatever it is, USAID, whatever it is.
And they just flood the discourse.
They flood it.
And so they have their finger either way on how much negative shit you see about any kind of subject.
And whoever's the best at it, whoever's the best at this kind of propaganda, this is like an incredible tool to use to demoralize another country, to have another country hating itself, hating its actions.
And if you leave that in the hands of China and they own the company like TikTok, at least if someone in America owns it, and again, I don't know what they're going to do, but at least if they own it, you would say, okay, but at least they're not actively trying to fuck with us and make us battle back and forth.
They're just allowing the algorithm to do its natural course.
unidentified
Right.
theo von
I guess if they're going to do that, we don't have to do it.
joe rogan
Here's the thing.
If you can't stop bots, then all of them are fucked because they're just going to keep making new accounts.
It's too easy.
They sign up, fake emails, fake person.
They're in.
If you don't make people, and then what are you going to do?
You're going to require a digital ID?
Fuck that.
You should be able to be a whistleblower.
If you're working from some company and you find out they're dumping nuclear waste into the ocean, it's killing all the fish.
Someone should be able to anonymously report that.
And you should be able to do that through social media without having a digital ID that shows exactly who you are.
theo von
And they can shut you down.
It's just like, I don't know.
joe rogan
It's sketchy times.
theo von
What's sketchy times?
You mean the same company, that company Palantir, that was doing all that crazy stuff in Gaza, in Gaza, and they were like, you know, running all the drones and stuff like this, allegedly.
joe rogan
What are you talking about?
What are you saying they did?
theo von
That they had like, were compiling data on people that were there, and they were operating a lot of the drones in the sky that also had weapons attached to them.
joe rogan
Okay, so you mean like facial recognition data?
theo von
Right.
joe rogan
Do they have that capability with drones?
Where they could just zoom around?
Is this horseshit?
Is it real?
Jamie's not even willing to talk on camera.
He's giving me a lot of people.
I'm sure they do.
No, no, no, no.
theo von
They got a big contract in America now, which is scary to me.
That's what's scary to me.
That a drone could go by.
That maybe that's what happened to Charlie Kirk.
Who knows?
Maybe a drone.
You just have no idea who you can even point the finger at.
A bullet comes out of the middle of nowhere.
True.
I'm not saying I'm paranoid about it all the time.
I'm just saying I have.
joe rogan
Listen.
theo von
Okay.
joe rogan
You're right.
However, China's making drones, and they're making really good ones, way more sophisticated than our drones.
If you don't have drone development and some kind of drone defense system in America, you just, if you say, oh, no one should have that kind of power, you're right.
No one should have that kind of power.
However, China already does.
So if you just have no innovation and you have no way to implement any kind of defense system with drones in America, but it's already in China and it's already in Russia.
You're kind of in trouble.
theo von
Okay, so you have to have something in that space.
You got to be moving forward into like, yeah, you've got to have the weapons out there.
joe rogan
It's like the nuclear bomb.
If they're already doing it, you better fucking get it.
theo von
Right.
joe rogan
You better get it.
theo von
I think, yeah, to me, it's just scary that the company that was allegedly doing that there is the company that we hired to, like, I believe create a database and have some of the same opportunities here.
Or they could potentially be able to do the same thing here.
To me, it just kind of tracks where it's like.
joe rogan
Yeah, well, any one private company that has a database and all the information on every person and where you are and what you're doing.
Yeah, that's sketchy.
What are you woofing?
What's going on?
jamie vernon
I'm looking at the story of the reporting on this.
joe rogan
It's that absolute power corrupts, absolutely thing.
You know, this is like absolute power.
jamie vernon
One AI system is called the Gospel.
Another one's called Where's Daddy?
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Used to identify people.
joe rogan
One of them's called Lavender.
That sounds lovely.
AI-enabled data processing system developed and used by the Israeli occupation forces in their, this says, genocidal campaign against Gaza have caught widespread attention, prompting journalists to call Gaza the site of the first AI-powered genocide.
AI technology was reportedly first used in Gaza during Israel's 11-day assault in 2021 during the ongoing genocide.
For the first time, it's being used to kill Palestinians at an unprecedented level and at much faster rates.
These three known systems identify targets for airstrikes based on Israeli mass surveillance records of the Palestinians in Gaza that have been collected for years by the IOF under the racist framework of monitoring what they deem as threats to the Israeli regime.
This is from palestine-studies.org.
theo von
So who knows also how – Yeah, this – it's obviously – Going to be favored towards them.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Yeah.
But listen, I absolutely believe they have that kind of technology.
theo von
The scariest part to me, Jamie, will you bring it back up for one more second?
The scariest part to me was just the quickness they could do it and then like the review, right?
Like a few Israeli intelligence agents shared with Plus 972 magazine that they personally only take 20 seconds to review and approve the airstrike recommendation.
joe rogan
Using the time only to confirm if the target is a male.
Whoa.
It's unclear if this is actual policy.
What is that?
So this is.
theo von
But yeah, this started making me feel like this.
joe rogan
Okay, so they shared this in a magazine.
They shared this is, so they said this in an interview in a magazine, that it only takes 20 seconds to review.
And the time is only to confirm if the target's a male.
It's unclear if this is actual policy.
In August, however, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights released a statement revealing that the majority of those killed in Gaza are women and children.
So here's the other thing.
Obviously, horrible things have happened there, right?
But if you're getting your information from the people where the horrible things are happening, it's hard to know if they're being accurate.
I don't know if it is truly that they're mostly killing women or children, women and children.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Or if a good percentage of them have actually been Hamas agents.
I don't know.
theo von
Yeah, I think this is.
joe rogan
That's what Israel says, right?
They say that a lot of them were Hamas.
unidentified
Yeah.
theo von
Yeah, there's like two-year-old Hamas agents they were filing and shooting.
Which, who knows?
I don't know.
Who knows?
joe rogan
Well, I bet they probably think about them as future, especially now when you've blown up their fucking city.
You know, I mean, how many, if there were terrorists there, how many are created by watching something like that happen?
Quite a bit.
theo von
Well, the thing for me, I just thought that America would come help at some point.
That was a scary.
I think that's when I just thought, like, oh, I just have a different concept of what's going on.
Or also, these are just my thoughts.
I don't know what's going on.
And I don't need anybody to believe my thoughts or think the same way I do.
I think the thing that made me nervous was that that same company, Palantir, got a deal in America to create a database and help with surveillance and stuff.
So that just makes me scared, you know, and made me a little bit nervous.
Not scared, but just like a little bit like, what's going on here?
Are we going to enter a surveillance state, you know?
joe rogan
Well, that's one of the arguments for letting chaos take place.
One of the arguments for letting crime, letting criminals back out, is that you make it so dangerous that in order to make it safe, you have to put restrictions on people.
And that's the only way.
And you show that it's effective.
And then people comply, and then everybody has a digital ID.
The government tracks you.
Like, you know, like that Life360 app where you can track all your friends, track all your family.
unidentified
Yeah.
theo von
See if your wife's running around and you or whatever.
joe rogan
And the government is.
theo von
Just going to parties a lot.
joe rogan
The government can do that as well.
Yeah.
theo von
Well, I think one thing that made that I think.
joe rogan
Do you know how crazy that is?
To allow the government to constantly know where you are and what you're doing and constantly, you'll be looking over your shoulder.
So you're going to self-censor.
You're going to be scared.
You're going to be scared to talk because your phone's going to be listening.
Yeah.
theo von
Well, yeah.
I mean, crazy we mentioned Chuck Schumer and then you opened your phone.
joe rogan
That's nuts.
theo von
I mean, that was.
joe rogan
Yeah.
What's the possibility?
theo von
And that was momentarily later.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Momentarily later, the algorithm recognized that I was talking about Chuck Schumer.
Let's see if it works.
Big fat tits.
I mean, big fat tits.
Okay.
Big fat tits on your 45-year-old stepmom.
theo von
Ooh, I'm not tired.
joe rogan
imagine if it just goes to nope I got head kicked.
theo von
What about the explore page?
joe rogan
I'll check my explore page real quick.
theo von
Would you buy a cat off a Facebook Marketplace?
joe rogan
Sure, why not?
unidentified
Okay, I wouldn't.
joe rogan
If it's a cute cat, fuck that.
That really is fun.
theo von
Look, I'm not buying a cat off.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
Right in my for you page.
theo von
See one of them, huh?
Hey, how about that?
joe rogan
Why is it in my for you page?
jamie vernon
A funner test is to text something random to someone and then give it five minutes and check your like for you pages on an app right away.
joe rogan
It's ladies with large boobs.
theo von
I say, hey, let me see one of them and guess what the other one looks like.
That's my old trick.
joe rogan
That's a good trick.
And you're like, I don't know.
I bet that other one's weird looking.
That one's too perfect.
There's no way they both look the same.
theo von
Dude, I used to do this.
joe rogan
Well, I'll show you, Theo.
unidentified
Wow.
theo von
I used to do this fun thing.
If I sat next to somebody in an airplane, I would have them draw a picture of their kids.
Like, if they had kids, I'd be like, draw a picture of your kids.
And dude, it would be the most fucking ridiculous looking picture.
But it would always be pretty fun, you know?
Yeah, I think I was just concerned about like if that's the company that does it here.
So that's like where my brain tracks like a random dead.
joe rogan
Well, that should be scary.
theo von
That's why I think ICE has all the ICE stuff happened.
Because I think they have to get everybody on the books.
This isn't about like they have to do an inventory now of everyone because they're going to need.
Otherwise, when it's a surveillance state, it's all going to know if you're not like documented or on the on the bill of sale or whatever, it's going to be or you're not on the inventory list.
If you're not inventoried in the country, then the machine will know immediately, oh, this isn't, you're not even supposed to be here, right?
So that's why I think that the IC stuff is happening because I think one of the reasons is they have to get everything inventoried.
joe rogan
I see what you're saying.
I think the IC stuff is happening a lot of it is because of political power.
It's congressional seats because the census just counts people.
They don't count legal citizens.
And when you let people come over here illegally and then you give them food and you give them Medicare, what happens is those people are going to vote for you if they can.
And they're also going to count.
They're going to stay.
And so they count and your district has congressional seats.
That's what's crazy.
They only count the people.
They don't count the citizens.
So if you get as many people in as possible, you can take over congressional seats.
And if you make it really easy for those people to get by, like they say, hey, California is the place to go.
They don't give a fuck.
You can be illegal there.
Nobody cares.
Which is the way it was basically until I started arresting people.
It's always been like that.
I mean, what percentage of people do you run into LA in LA that are illegals?
A lot, and no one cares.
It's always been like that.
theo von
I don't care.
joe rogan
Now all of a sudden they're getting arrested.
But there is the argument that by having people that came over illegally, you change the congressional map.
You do.
You get more seats.
And that's kind of crazy.
It's kind of crazy.
theo von
It's all fun.
It just feels like, I don't know.
It feels like very, like, I don't know.
It feels like a lot of different things.
But you're right.
I think you just have to focus in on things that are important.
joe rogan
Well, it's an easy way to increase your population, man.
Make it so people can definitely come over.
Make it so cut holes in the fence for them.
You ever see when they did that?
They cut holes in the fence.
Like some people had put up like these fucking heavy-duty fences.
theo von
Put that titty bar right there.
You put a titty bar right there, boy.
joe rogan
You should have a bottle of water sales is the better move.
theo von
Water and tits.
What about that?
joe rogan
Together?
Generally, people like alcohol with their tits.
theo von
I don't know.
If you've been in the desert for a couple of days.
joe rogan
That's true.
It's a good point.
Very good point.
Where's my book, Mars?
Here it is.
I'll send you this, Jeremy.
Because this is kind of crazy when you watch it.
You're like, what could you possibly be doing here other than purposely letting people into the country?
I think there was a lot of that.
And I think there was a lot of that because they want cheap labor, too.
That was something that someone told me once, that they were stunned, that a CEO said that they were against these border enforcements because they wanted cheap labor.
So they said it right out to him.
Look at this.
Biden Harris sent forklifts to open the border when Texas built a razor wall.
theo von
So insane.
joe rogan
Like, why would you do that?
Wait a minute.
You did what?
You sent a forklift to open up the razor wire?
unidentified
What?
theo von
But do you think that they all know that the other parties just do?
Like, do you think that they all go behind closed doors and be like, okay, what are you guys going to do this month?
And then we're going to do this.
And it's all just this theatrics?
joe rogan
No.
I don't think they coordinate like that.
I think they all hate each other.
No.
But this is nuts, man.
This is like genuinely nuts.
And by the way, I feel for these people.
I would do the same thing.
I would 100% be in line.
I see these people with their babies hoping for a chance at a better life in America.
They're not the problem.
The problem is cartel people and the whole congressional seats thing.
That's the problem.
theo von
Well, these people have become pawns.
They'll send information to these, the countries that they live in and get them to come.
joe rogan
It's like, listen, if the population, you're right.
I didn't mean to interrupt you.
theo von
No, I don't even know probably what I was saying, but I don't know.
joe rogan
If the population is, that's what I'm saying.
theo von
We're better than this.
joe rogan
You and I are?
theo von
Yes.
As people, we are better than this.
And we have all this elected officials and these people that we thought were like this.
joe rogan
We were sociopaths.
theo von
When does that end?
joe rogan
That's a good question.
theo von
And can it end?
Do you think there's a way to end it?
joe rogan
It's going to be hard.
My suspicion is it ends when AI starts sorting government.
We're probably going to use AI with government to prevent this kind of fuckery that we see on an everyday basis.
AI will logically make decisions as to like what makes sense and what doesn't make sense about our current legal structure.
Like some things that if people become politicians, the reason why they become politicians is they know they can inside trade with Nancy Pelosi and make hundreds of millions of dollars like she did.
Like that's crazy.
That can't be that way anymore.
And I think any intelligent, like artificial intelligence that's not attached to an ideology or a party is going to immediately look, if they both agree, if America votes on it and say, we want AI to take a look at the government, and AI immediately goes, like, you can't do that.
You can't do this.
Like, this is bad.
This is evil.
This is a lie.
This is truth.
And you're suppressing it.
And then we probably don't have anything remotely like the government we have now.
Because I think that mind-reading software, it's already in beta, right?
It's already, they're already able to communicate, going back and forth, asking each other questions.
They are.
They have headsets.
You don't even have to get an implant.
Is it Google that did that, Jamie?
Who was the company that did that?
Where they were asking each other questions and then answering them?
jamie vernon
It's not Google.
I don't even think that's available yet.
joe rogan
No, but it's in beta.
The point is, it's in beta.
So they're doing this already.
And as this stuff gets more potent, it's going to be just like we used to have little flip phones without a color screen and now you have an iPhone.
And it's going to be that.
It's going to go from you used to be able to just ask each other questions to we can all read each other's minds.
It's coming, man.
And when that happens, Turtleface, that Mitch McConnell motherfucker, you can't operate anymore as a leader.
You can't, no, you're seen now as what you are.
You're an agent of money.
You're a money agent moving money and influence around.
You're not doing it for the greater good of people by any stretch of the imagination.
And also, how are you still working when you Windows 98 on us every now and then?
theo von
Yeah.
joe rogan
That guy just freezes up.
You ever see him?
theo von
Yeah, because his fricking, his, his, his, his, his, uh.
joe rogan
You ever see him lock up?
Just lock up.
How is that guy still able to make decisions on anything?
theo von
His receptors are down.
You fucking see his receptors go down there.
joe rogan
You think he's a robot?
theo von
You think he's not a robot?
What do you think at this point?
That guy?
They didn't even update his lips to fucking.
Yes.
joe rogan
If there's a robot.
theo von
If these people are.
joe rogan
RFK Jr.
Imagine we found out.
Imagine if Candace comes out and she does a deep dive and said there was no RFK Jr.
Do you know that?
All those photos are AI.
There's no evidence of him whatsoever until 2021.
theo von
She's like, and what is this here?
RFK Jr. has a camel toe?
unidentified
What is this here?
theo von
She's the first.
Dude, Candace is the best dude.
I went to see.
She has her and her husband have four of the most beautiful kids in the world and they're so funny.
And you go over there and they're just like dying laughing and one of them looks just like her.
It's so funny, dude.
joe rogan
Do you think she's right about that French president?
theo von
Oh, the wiener.
joe rogan
Yes.
He is married to a man.
She's all in on that, bro.
theo von
Oh, she's all in.
joe rogan
Well, they're suing her, aren't they?
theo von
I think they are.
I don't know if they still are.
joe rogan
I think they're at least threatening a lawsuit.
And so, like, for like 50 million bucks.
theo von
We wiener.
That would be my, if she ever writes a book, that's got to be it.
But, dude, it is kind of strange that the guy is dating his teacher, right?
joe rogan
When he was like 40 and the kid was 15.
Or she was 40.
Even if it was a she.
Like, what?
And again, this is France.
They're very different over there.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Pedophilia is just like, oh, get your weed out of that child.
theo von
We nerd.
joe rogan
What have you done?
theo von
We ner.
joe rogan
He's almost 15.
theo von
Bro, if she does, oh, she better have a hog on her.
unidentified
And I'll say that.
joe rogan
I bet she doesn't.
theo von
That's what I'm saying.
I don't know if she has the body style to have a real fucking hog on her.
And that, if they release, the last thing needs, the last thing France needs is to release like a wiener that looks like it's retreating kind of.
It will just go down.
They need to release a fucking hog.
joe rogan
Did you see that information that might have had a micropenis?
They got genes from Hitler's blood, and it seems to indicate that he had a genetic disorder that would lead you to have a micropenis, which totally makes sense, right?
theo von
I'm not surprised these days.
joe rogan
About Hitler?
Why would you be surprised?
Hitler would be the guy I would think would have a micropenis.
The guy wants to kill everybody and take over the world?
theo von
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, a little tiny dick.
theo von
Make it bigger.
joe rogan
And he's fucking doing Coke and heroin and all.
He was doing oxycodone, man.
And he had his whole army on meth.
theo von
Yeah.
That's fucking wild.
joe rogan
With a little dick just running everything.
Making of a tyrant, how Hitler's deformed genitals shaped his personality.
Whoa.
theo von
Here's the thing, though.
Here's a thing.
If you had a little dick, you would always check and make sure you'd be like, fuck, it's still little.
That's what would happen all the time.
Or every day you'd woke up, you'd be like, it'd be like the mass singer.
You'd like open your pants and hope it was something.
joe rogan
Who knows?
I think he knows.
This dick is little.
unidentified
He's like, now everyone gets punished.
joe rogan
Fucking Poland.
Polish guys are big old hogs.
He's probably jealous.
theo von
Yeah, brother.
I think they, yeah, I don't know.
In the future, I don't even know if they got little dicks in the future.
joe rogan
I think that's what aliens are.
That's us, generalists.
jamie vernon
You know how they got the DNA?
theo von
How?
jamie vernon
From the blood-soaked couch, he apparently blew his brains out on, it says.
joe rogan
Yo, they saved that?
jamie vernon
Yeah, it says the first guy that found it took a piece of the couch, saved it, and they studied that.
unidentified
Wow.
Wow.
jamie vernon
Some people think that didn't happen.
joe rogan
Yeah, some people think he got moved to Argentina, right?
jamie vernon
Yeah, this also says there's only a one in ten chance he had a micropenis.
joe rogan
Oh, that's a lot of chances.
I don't like those odds.
I ain't playing Russian roulette with a revolver with 10 rounds in it.
Fuck that.
All right, I got a piece.
We got to wrap this up.
theo von
Dude, I to peace so bad.
Thank you.
joe rogan
Thank you.
I'm glad we waited.
I love you.
theo von
You are.
joe rogan
You're the best.
theo von
I love you too, man.
Thanks for everything.
Thanks for this.
joe rogan
It was fun hanging with you, as always.
