Train by day. Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. What's going to catch up?

SpeakerB

I said we're just going to catch up. It's been a year.

SpeakerA
0m 17s
-
0m 18s

It's been a year. Yeah.

SpeakerB
0m 18s
-
0m 21s

And you've been trending on Twitter for that entire year.

SpeakerA
0m 22s

0m 33s

It's not my fault. It's fucking dorks. Get out of the house, losers. Go pay attention to real life shit while Fauci's out there torturing puppies. You see that shit?

SpeakerB
0m 33s

0m 38s

Yeah. Did you read that article? I didn't read the article. I. Shut up. I can't look at puppy torture.

SpeakerA
0m 38s

1m 37s

What are they learning from torturing? But pull up the article, Jamie, because people need to know this because I put it up on Twitter. But this is sick shit. Glenn Greenwald texted me about this, and he was kind of explaining that it doesn't help anything. There's no benefit to this, right? He's like, this is not something that's saving lives. If you could prove that this was saving lives. He goes, maybe you can make some sort of ethical argument for doing this, but it doesn't save lives. It's just not. It's twisted, and I don't understand it. I just saw bipartisan legislators demand answers from Fauci on cruel puppy experiments. Our investigators show that Fauci's NIH division shipped part of a $375,800 grant to a lab in Tunisia to drug beagles and lock their heads in mesh cages filled with hungry sandflies so that the insects could eat them alive.

SpeakerB

I feel like in a normal society, this guy would just be completely retreated from the public by, how is this possible?

SpeakerA
1m 44s
-
2m 13s

How is it possible? First of all, that now it's been proven, the NIH has now come out and said he lied. He lied in front of Congress about gain of function research. They funded gain of function research at the Wuhan lab that worked on coronaviruses in the very fucking area where a coronavirus got out and killed 4 million people with cleavage sites that were inserted into it that seemed to indicate that it's been manipulated. Like, all these indications that were, by.

SpeakerB
2m 13s
-
2m 24s

The way, all conspiracies, these were all just conspiracies. If you even suggested any of this, it came from a lab, that it was funded. All of it is now true. And no one says, sorry.

SpeakerA
2m 24s

3m 25s

It's how I got trended on Twitter. It's one of the ways I got trended on Twitter from when Bret Weinstein was on and Bret was saying this, that it seems to indicate this was in April of 2020. Brett was saying, it seems to indicate that this is a virus that's been manipulated. And everyone's like, that is a dangerous conspiracy theory, and it's racist, racist conspiracy theory. Meanwhile, it's actually accurate and it's. Our own government was involved, which is the most fucked up thing, because as things have been uncovered, as Josh Rogan uncovered it, Josh Rogan played a very big part in this, because Josh Rogan recognized that he was one of the first people, and he actually broke it on this podcast, that Fauci was the one who restarted the gain of function research that Obama rightly and smartly had said, hey, stop doing that shit. The fuck are you doing? And so then Trump came along and Fauci, this is important research. We need to try to kill the world.

SpeakerB
3m 25s
-
3m 26s

Yeah.

SpeakerA
3m 26s
-
3m 37s

Fuck. This is so crazy that this is not like, if you go to all these mainstream news places, they're not saying this. Yeah, how are you not saying this?

SpeakerB
3m 37s
-
3m 44s

They don't understand why they've lost all their credibility, and yet they behave as if the Internet doesn't exist.

SpeakerA
3m 44s
-
3m 52s

Right. Well, how is CNN not covering this? Go to the Fauci story, because it is so crazy. Because when you watch Rand Paul, grill him.

SpeakerB
3m 52s
-
3m 52s

Yeah.

SpeakerA
3m 52s
-
3m 58s

And he's like, with all due respect, senator, you do not know what you are talking about.

SpeakerB
3m 58s
-
3m 60s

You do a good impression of him.

SpeakerA
3m 60s
-
4m 4s

I could do a better one. If I listen to him. If I listen to him for, like, ten minutes, I can really get him.

SpeakerB
4m 4s
-
4m 8s

I remember that Rand Paul recently was like, someone owes me an apology.

SpeakerA
4m 8s
-
5m 6s

What are you doing? I don't know what you say. Oh, sorry. I'm sorry. There was another one. It's in my twitter that in a shocking turn of events, the NIH has now admitted, which is interesting, because if they're admitting that they funded game to function research, that means they're turning on that little monster. So if they're turning on him, that means we might actually see some progress here and a real objective understanding of what's happening in major shift. NIH admits funding risky virus research in Wuhan. Now, this is Vanity Fair, okay? Super liberal publication. So they're doing this. That means the tide has turned. A spokesperson for Dr. Fauci says he has been entirely truthful. But a new letter belatedly acknowledging that the National Institute of Health support for virus enhancing research adds more heat to the ongoing debate over whether a lab leak could have sparked the pandemic. I'm going to go out in a limb and say, yes, it did.

SpeakerB
5m 8s

5m 11s

It seems like that would be the obvious.

SpeakerA
5m 11s
-
5m 29s

This natural spillover shit. You don't have an example? There's no science that points to that. All the science points to a manipulated virus that came out of the very area where they manipulate viruses. Like when John Stewart went on that rant on Colbert show and he got.

SpeakerB
5m 29s
-
5m 30s

Canceled for a minute.

SpeakerA
5m 31s
-
5m 47s

It didn't even work. But I was like, yes, Jon Stewart. John Stewart is a fucking man. Yeah, he's honest, he's brave. He's not that guy that's going to bullshit just for the party and just toe the line. He's not going to do it. Thank God. Thank God there's guys like him out.

SpeakerB
5m 47s
-
5m 52s

Yeah, I think he's always been pretty good about that.

SpeakerA
5m 52s
-
5m 52s

About everything.

SpeakerB
5m 52s
-
5m 58s

Yeah. His new show, I think is I haven't watched it, but I hear that it's pretty serious.

SpeakerA
5m 58s
-
5m 59s

If he's involved, it's good.

SpeakerB
5m 60s
-
5m 60s

Yeah.

SpeakerA
5m 60s
-
6m 1s

If he's involved, I'm in.

SpeakerB
6m 1s
-
6m 13s

I just love what he did for all the guys down at ground zero. I always liked him, but I really just respected him a hundred times more when he fought so hard for them.

SpeakerA
6m 13s
-
6m 30s

He's a national hero, John Stewart really is. And when he's not on the air and then you see him again, you appreciate him. Like, God damn it, I wish he was back, because when he was hosting the Daily show, the Daily show was fucking. It was perfect. I don't even watch it now. I watch it now. Like, this is nonsense.

SpeakerB
6m 31s
-
6m 45s

A lot of people kind of blame him for the state of news today, though he did pioneer the form of making jokes out of the news. Making. Doing that now, though, everybody, even the.

SpeakerA
6m 45s
-
6m 50s

News, but they're doing it accidentally. They do it with the jokes on them.

SpeakerB
6m 51s
-
7m 4s

No, it's crazy times. I don't know what I thought when we last sat down. It was a year ago. You had just moved here and had things started opening up. I don't even remember.

SpeakerA
7m 4s
-
7m 4s

They were open.

SpeakerB
7m 4s
-
7m 6s

Yeah, they were pretty much open.

SpeakerA
7m 6s
-
7m 8s

But not everybody thought it was really.

SpeakerB
7m 8s
-
7m 9s

Still closed in LA.

SpeakerA
7m 10s
-
7m 13s

Yeah, LA is still closed. Well, if it's not closed, everyone's terrified.

SpeakerB
7m 14s
-
7m 16s

It's a suicide pact. I'm convinced.

SpeakerA
7m 16s
-
7m 23s

When I was back there a few weeks ago, I was like, oh, my God. The general feeling in the air, the tone. Everyone's scared.

SpeakerB
7m 24s
-
7m 24s

Yeah.

SpeakerA
7m 24s
-
7m 27s

And crime is off the fucking charts.

SpeakerB
7m 27s
-
8m 41s

I mean, yeah. My neighborhood, just this last weekend, we were opening our door to go film dumpster fire, and there's always police helicopters around, so we're used to it. We often have to pause because we're in such a high class filming environment, so there's always some shit going down. And we're used to having to pause for the helicopters. And we walk out and this over the pa, it's like, get inside your house, close your doors and lock them. We were like, oh, shit. And then we hear, put your hands up where we can see them and come out of the building. So apparently some guy had started on a local business, and then guys chased this one guy out and he was trying to attack people with I don't even know what. And then he was jumping from yard to yard like Ferris Bueller, only trying to break in and attack people. And so it was like this whole insane. I was like, what are we doing here? This is nuts. And that's just my friend who's on the show. She was like, oh, somebody exposed, like, I don't. It's not like a walk with my dog. If somebody doesn't expose themselves, that's just normal.

SpeakerA
8m 41s
-
8m 43s

They don't arrest people in LA anymore.

SpeakerB
8m 44s
-
8m 56s

No. So apparently with this guy, we got even more details. He had done the same thing a couple of weeks ago and attacked somebody, I think, with a knife. And Gascon let him out in 6 hours.

SpeakerA
8m 56s
-
8m 60s

Yeah, that's what they're doing. You know about the guy who got macheted on the beach with his family?

SpeakerB
8m 60s
-
9m 0s

No.

SpeakerA
9m 1s
-
9m 14s

A homeless guy who's a fucking psychopath who pulled a knife on a sheriff. They arrested him, Gascon let him back on the street, and then he macheted some poor guy with his family on the beach. The guy lost his eye.

SpeakerB
9m 14s
-
9m 15s

Oh, God.

SpeakerA
9m 15s
-
9m 22s

Cut his face, his hand, his tongue. This guy was swinging a fucking machete at a father in front of his children on the beach.

SpeakerB
9m 22s
-
9m 23s

Yeah, it's scary.

SpeakerA
9m 23s
-
9m 51s

I mean, Gascon is a scary guy. Yeah, he embodies all the fears of the George Soros conspiracy theory, that George Soros is trying to destroy the country and do so with putting in more and more liberal people, like the more progressive anti law enforcement completely. And then when he gets them into office, then he funds someone who's even more to the left and runs them against them.

SpeakerB
9m 51s

Yeah, no, the quality of life has drastically gone down. I don't see it improving. There
