Joe Rogan: "What Happened With Peter Hotez and Robert Kennedy JR?"

you know um someone um tweeted a bunch of different examples of where dozens and dozens of accounts are saying the same inflammatory things with the exact same wordage exact and they're all like you know they have numbers and letters in their accounts like just random accounts and you know you go to their page it looks kind of real they have a photo there's like them with a flag it's like and you go through it you but you get this sense like oh you're you're a bot like you're not even a real person like so you you're an agent of you're stirring up [ __ ] so there's a certain aspect of our culture I don't know what the percentage is but there's a certain aspect of the conversations online that are being flavored by fake accounts that are designed to get people upset with each other yeah it's like psychological warfare on a level that no one anticipated and no one's prepared for because when you have the two things we already discussed like this adherence to the ideology no matter what no matter what like there's no you can't objectively logically defend any of the things that are in in opposition of it yeah and then you have this so are you I I noticed uh I mean obviously we follow each other on Twitter you almost never I mean short of the recent thing you did with the Peter hotas you almost never weigh in on anything is has was that sort of a conscious thing for you to step back yeah well with that one it was like okay this is crazy you're you're you're you're saying that he was he made some crazy tweet about neo-fascist yeah I saw that like what are you talking about like with Robert Kennedy Jr with me I'm like this is dangerous like what you're saying is totally untrue you know it's untrue and you're willing to just say it because it like the the more you can discredit someone who's in opposition to some of your ideas the the more you can somehow another in your weird game of checkers you're playing like Elevate yourself but you don't think people know what you're doing like that's like the the most clear neo-fascist like what the [ __ ] are you saying did you feel more angry at the fact that you had already had a conversation with him and so you there was some kind of personal connection between you two I mean I understand he's not you for sure I've had him on at least was he on twice twice I've had him on twice I was very nice to him yeah even in disagreement with them like in issues of Health I was very nice to him but you can't just say stuff like that and you know it's like I just wanted to say like have a debate with the guy yeah like have a debate with a guy so what ended up happening I think it got up to like two million dollars he's not gonna do it he won't do it you know I don't think he wants to do it you know and this there's the idea that like Robert Kennedy would be too silver tongued like stop come on because he's a lawyer you know he's really good arguing stuff like like if you if you either have facts or you don't have facts right and if you're scared to debate the facts I have to go what are these facts what's bothering you like what do you worry that he might bring up I mean what are we saying it could be the case so for example I've been often asked why don't you debate creationists about Evolution and I take the position there of Richard Dawkins which is it's not that I'm too haughty to debate anyone is that there's almost no chance that I could present any evidence that would cause you to alter your position yeah so it's really a losing proposition so could it be that Peter Hotes is coming from that perspective it could but you know what I would say to that even in your case it is preposterous for someone to to not believe that at least there's a process of evolution at this stage of it's it's kind of crazy to because there's like there's evidence things that are happening where things are adapting to their environment right now that we've tracked yeah exactly like you know there's a little antelope in the Congo that swims underwater and eats fish is that right yeah it's called a diker I think it's called a diker d-i-k-e-r I think that's how you say it but this little animal evolved uh lived on grasslands and the grasslands became rainforest and when the grasslands these little like prairie animals are trapped inside the Congo there's an amazing BBC documentary about it but they've got like these things are evolving yeah like they're figuring out a swim but believe me having spent 30 years trying to convince some of my academic colleagues about the value of evolution and studying human behavior they'll go la la la with human behavior and especially with you know certain narratives so this one is just swimming in the water but these [ __ ] can go underwater they can the the Dikers that they were talking about in the Congo they can swim underwater for like 100 yards why do I feel that the crocodile is about to hit at any second now because we've seen too many of those videos that that is arguably one of the scariest um scenarios the scariest the [ __ ] scariest I have to pause something happened with my video right now oh it's I'm doing since mixing your two things really Strangely I need to do we got a reboot not a reboot I just gotta figure out what happened okay but we got everything else no yeah it's so it's just yeah when I come to your camera it's blending them together so there's the people only listening to audio this is a special segment of the podcast it's only just for you there you go because the video is [ __ ] should we stop talking I mean you can keep talking it's just like the video looks weird so I don't want to be a distraction all right well let's fix it we'll pause we'll be right back we're back all right uh technical difficulties I just want to close the parenthesis on something that happened from last show oh incredible story you ready yeah that's actually speaks about connecting with people so last show you had asked me or not you had asked me we were talking about who would be some guest that we'd really want to have on our respective shows and you probably don't remember what my two celebrities were do you I buy them just I don't remember Clint Eastwood and first I appreciate his politics I've been watching him since I was a kid in Lebanon uh number two was Bert Bacharach who's I don't do you remember who that is but remember the name Bacharach is the music composer who's basically written songs for everybody uh he was featured in one of the Austin Powers movie where he the guy says ladies and gentlemen Bacharach you know anyways after our chat aired I go on my Instagram I have a personal DM private DM from what looks like the account of Bert Bacharach who's you know arguably the biggest musical you know composer in the United States so I'm extremely excited it turns out it was his son who said oh your your clip with Joe Rogan uh was passed on to me uh and I think I would it would be great for I'd love for my dad to come on your show and now cut to the punch line it never ended up happening he recently passed away so perhaps he wasn't I mean he was like 94-95 but just the fact that you and I are having a conversation someone else picks it up and then my word could not my world can intersect with Bert Bacharach whom there is no conceivable place where his word and her world and mine would ever connect that's the beauty of Life wow that is a beauty of life that's awesome isn't that amazing yeah you are a connector sir I try to be clintise would be an interesting guy to talk to like the guy still works it's almost like 93 years old still out there making movies yeah well I don't enjoy
