<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/watch/jordan-peterson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr Jordan B Peterson</a> laid out his plan to take on the globalists on “The Joe Rogan Experience,” telling the podcast king in an extended interview posted Saturday that he is considering starting a populist alternative to the World Economic Forum.
Peterson told Rogan that he will be gathering a consortium this October/November in London as a kind of rival to the WEF. This group will discuss six questions pertaining to global philosophy and policy. While this first conference will be invite-only, it will be public, and Peterson noted that if successful, he would like to expand yearly.
Some of the ideas — which are aimed at providing an “alternative vision of the future &#8230; an alternative to that kind of apocalyptic narrative that&#8217;s being put forward, at least implicitly, by organizations like the WEF” — are as follows:
<ul>
<li>How to get &#8220;energy and resources at the lowest possible cost, as rapidly as possible, to the largest number of people around the world.”</li>
<li>Engaging in a &#8220;pro-human view&#8221; of earth stewardship.</li>
<li>Putting forward a &#8220;vision on the family policy front to facilitate the encouragement of and the maintenance of longterm, monogamous couples who are child-centered.”</li>
<li>And discovering our &#8220;story,&#8221; specifically as it relates to &#8220;voluntary play&#8221; rather than &#8220;the spirit of power&#8221; ruling.</li>
</ul>

Peterson, the DailyWire+ star, clinical psychologist, and best-selling author, also told Rogan that the transgender “contagion” is damaging children and likened it to the satanic ritual abuse claims that arose in daycare centers nearly 40 years ago. He also took a clear shot at the globalist group that gathers in Davos to formulate progressive policies to impose on the world.
“I&#8217;ve been trying to understand the driving ideas underneath this globalist utopian tyranny that seems to be developing from the top-down, and I think it&#8217;s driven at least in part by this religious vision that I already described — you know, that you have to construe culture itself, especially industrial culture, as the tyrannical father raping and pillaging everything in its way, which is [an] unbelievably dangerous way to think — too one-sided,&#8221; Peterson said.

Peterson blasted the progressive elites, who hint darkly at population controls and push policies that make food and energy expensive for the world&#8217;s poor.
&#8220;I&#8217;ve already felt that I’ve been at war for the last six months, and I would say it&#8217;s war because what I observed happening in Europe when I was there last was that &#8230; it&#8217;s pretty damn clear that the globalist utopians are willing to sacrifice the poor for the sake of the planet, you know, and they&#8217;re doing that by cranking energy prices up through the roof, and that means that people die,&#8221; Peterson said.
Peterson has clashed with leftist authoritarians in the past, including Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who is a WEF regular. Peterson is also currently sparring <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dr-jordan-peterson-lashes-out-at-canadas-commissars-after-board-threatens-his-medical-license" target="_blank" rel="noopener">with a psychology trade association</a> that sought to sanction him for tweets it deemed offensive. The College of Psychologists of Ontario ordered Peterson to undergo “social media communications retraining” or face a hearing on the potential suspension of his license to practice clinical psychology. Peterson made it clear he has no intention of submitting to the group&#8217;s demand.
Rogan also asked Peterson to share his thoughts on what is behind the surge in people identifying as transgender. Peterson explained that the trend is being driven by “sociological contagion,” and compared it to “the satanic ritual abuse accusations that emerged in daycares in the 1980s.” Peterson blasted his home country’s new law, which amended Canada’s human rights protections to cover transgender and “nonbinary” citizens. Peterson predicted that the new law and continued mainstreaming of young people getting chemical and surgical gender treatments will “fatally confuse thousands of young girls.”

Joe Rogan called out the media over its coverage of COVID and riots, arguing that they&#8217;re &#8220;not the f***ing propaganda department.&#8221;
During &#8220;The Joe Rogan Experience&#8221; <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/489chEayb8doxqCYbrgjRs?si=32n1YLU1RziD1XDhA7P52g">podcast</a> on Wednesday, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-rogan">host</a> told his guest, former MTV DJ/podcaster Adam Curry, that modern politics is similar to tribalism. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fing-bravo-joe-rogan-takes-swipe-at-biden-administration-over-talk-about-gas-stove-ban">Rogan</a> said humans have always wanted &#8220;other people to think and behave exactly the way you do.&#8221;
&#8220;You&#8217;re willing to overlook some awful s*** on your side. And you&#8217;re willing to exaggerate some s*** on the other side,&#8221; the host shared, as he compared it to how mainstream media covers <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/antifa">riots</a>.
&#8220;Mostly peaceful! Oh, it&#8217;s mostly peaceful that burning,'&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joe-rogan-has-change-of-heart-explains-why-will-smith-has-to-be-forgiven-after-chris-rock-slap">Rogan</a> explained. &#8220;I f***ing saw someone again say this because of what happened in Atlanta and they were calling it mostly peaceful.&#8221;
&#8220;You&#8217;re not the f***ing propaganda department, you can&#8217;t define things in a way to calm people down,&#8221; he added. &#8220;That&#8217;s not what your f***ing job is. But you&#8217;re bulls****ing people, you&#8217;re acting as a propagandist. It&#8217;s not &#8216;mostly peaceful&#8217; when a car is on fire.&#8221;
&#8220;In CNN&#8217;s backyard,&#8221; Curry added.
Earlier, Rogan noted that there were a &#8220;lot of people&#8221; that said &#8220;trust the science&#8221; when it came to COVID and the vaccine. The host said, &#8220;if the data&#8217;s being controlled by certain people that have a vested financial interest in controlling the data, in controlling the narrative, that&#8217;s not science.&#8221;
Curry said it was &#8220;telling&#8221; when CNN <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joe-rogan-floats-suing-cnn-for-claiming-he-took-horse-dewormer">falsely claimed</a> that Rogan took horse dewormer to combat COVID, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joe-rogan-grills-cnns-sanjay-gupta-does-it-bother-you-that-your-news-network-lies">reported</a>.
&#8220;What was really telling was when you were being accused of eating horse paste, and then you had [CNN&#8217;s Dr.] Sanjay Gupta on and you said, &#8216;Why the f*** did they lie about that?&#8217; and he could not answer,&#8221; Curry shared. &#8220;His brain could not process the question.&#8221;
&#8220;Someone should come along that does what they [media] do, but do it in a way where you&#8217;re not lying,&#8221; Rogan said. &#8220;Where you&#8217;re only giving information. The uncomfortable information that people probably don&#8217;t want to hear. You&#8217;re just giving them data &#8230; but don&#8217;t do it in a way where you&#8217;re bulls****ing people.&#8221;

Joe Rogan slammed legacy media for its &#8220;sh***y format&#8221; and said &#8220;it&#8217;s way less popular&#8221; than it&#8217;s ever been in history, naming CNN and evening news.
During Spotify&#8217;s &#8220;The Joe Rogan Experience&#8221; <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/177plfcE2xWKrOJUfnn13S?si=fvpV2ozeTgSNghfTMCkO8g">podcast</a> on Saturday, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-rogan">podcast host</a> was speaking with comedian <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/louis-ck">Louis C.K.</a> about the media&#8217;s coverage of gruesome stories like the school shooting at Sandy Hook and 9-11, as the two agreed the media has always done this, calling it &#8220;obscene.&#8221;
&#8220;It&#8217;s messed up. It&#8217;s obscene and it&#8217;s normal. And that&#8217;s what they operate under. That&#8217;s their currency,&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joe-rogan-has-change-of-heart-explains-why-will-smith-has-to-be-forgiven-after-chris-rock-slap">Rogan</a> replied, noting that with the media &#8220;there&#8217;s a diffusion of responsibility when you work for a large corporation.&#8221;

&#8220;It&#8217;s a job that has to get done,&#8221; he added, noting the media&#8217;s response.
C.K. recalled being in the Fox News studio once, sitting in the control room when President Barack Obama was &#8220;making a speech&#8221; and he claimed no one was listening to the speech on any of the cameras in the room, yet commented on it afterward.
He said it happens at MSNBC and CNN too, &#8220;they&#8217;re not thinking about anything. They already know their reaction and they gotta come in with it really quick&#8221; because it&#8217;s got to get in people&#8217;s phones before another news outlet. &#8220;It&#8217;s entertainment.&#8221;
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fing-bravo-joe-rogan-takes-swipe-at-biden-administration-over-talk-about-gas-stove-ban">Rogan</a> agreed and said it&#8217;s &#8220;entertainment disguised as news for minimally engaged, casual viewers.&#8221;
&#8220;Because it&#8217;s not really people that are completely locked in for the most part,&#8221; the host explained. &#8220;Most people are just flipping through the channels and you know something outrageous &#8230; [hearing a reporter criticizing someone as bad for America.] But if you don&#8217;t say that they aren&#8217;t going to pay attention.&#8221;
&#8220;Then they [corporate media] is going to lose out on that Pfizer dollars that&#8217;s going to come through in the ad break,&#8221; he added. Because of the format, it&#8217;s just a trick to get you to watch a commercial for Colgate.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/wants-crime-to-flourish-joe-rogan-slams-soros-as-an-evil-villain-in-superhero-movie">Rogan</a> told his guest that corporate media &#8220;is way less popular than it&#8217;s ever been in human history. Like in the history of news, the evening news, CNN, those things, are less popular than they have ever been.&#8221;
&#8220;And it&#8217;s because people are tired of it,&#8221; the podcast host shared. &#8220;It&#8217;s a sh***y format and in comparison to long-form discussions, independent interview shows &#8230; podcasts where people have nuanced perspectives. If you really want to understand what&#8217;s going on in the world, complicated issues, invasion of Ukraine by Russia, you need people to break it down to you. They aren&#8217;t going to get it in five minutes.&#8221;
&#8220;You are going to get &#8216;they hate us for our freedom,&#8221; he added. &#8220;That&#8217;s what you are going to get in five minutes. You are going to get nonsense talking points.&#8221;

Over the past few weeks, treasure hunters have <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/treasure-hunters-east-river-nyc-claim-mammoth-bones-1940s-joe-rogan-podcast/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">started</a> exploring New York City’s East River in an effort to find mammoth bones that they believe could be at the bottom.
The hype — and <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/01/15/divers-scour-nycs-east-river-for-mammoth-bones-following-joe-rogan-podcast/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">searches</a> — began when John Reeves, a gold miner from Alaska, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ill-tell-you-exactly-where-theyre-at-famed-gold-miner-tells-joe-rogan-possible-hidden-location-of-incredibly-valuable-mammoth-tusks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appeared</a> on Joe Rogan’s mega-popular podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience.” The episode was released on December 30, and in it, Reeves discussed his property where he has found several tusks and bones.
Several decades ago, when different people owned his land, the remains of prehistoric animals were found during searches for gold. Some of the items were taken to New York City to be given to the American Museum of Natural History. Reeves pointed to a draft report that discussed how some bones and fossils were dropped into the river after the museum didn’t accept them.
Reeves told Rogan he was &#8220;going to start a bone rush” and then read from the report, and announced the site of East River Drive, which is now called FDR Drive.
&#8220;We&#8217;ll see if anybody out there&#8217;s got a sense of adventure,&#8221; he said later on, noting, &#8220;Let me tell you something about mammoth bones, mammoth tusks — they&#8217;re extremely valuable.&#8221;
Reeves told a member of The Associated Press that the person should look at the draft, which he posted online.
As the Guardian <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jan/15/treasure-hunters-dive-mammoth-bones-new-york-east-river-joe-rogan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>, Robert Sattler, one of the authors of the draft, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/oddities-allergies-joe-rogan-new-york-city-alaska-7658ee7e20ed3495a17b42727cee584c" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> the AP that another author — Richard Osborne — originated the story about the mammoth bones. Osborne, however, died in 2005. Sattler said the draft report was authentic, but it wasn’t supposed to be put in a scholarly journal. Rather, it was the beginning of something else, perhaps a book centered on Osborne&#8217;s understanding.
Sattler said he didn&#8217;t have details past what Osborne recalled, but noted that Osborne was close to the recovery of mammoth bones in Alaska when he was younger.
“He would have had some knowledge from somebody telling him that they dumped some excess material in the East River,” Sattler said.
The American Museum of Natural History pushed back on the story, possibly attempting to wave off any would-be treasure hunters. However, they were not entirely successful.
&#8220;We do not have any record of the disposal of these fossils in the East River, nor have we been able to find any record of this report in the museum&#8217;s archives or other scientific sources,&#8221; the museum said in a statement.
&#8220;I think the chances are just as good as the lottery. And people buy those tickets every day,&#8221; Don Gann said, per CBS News. Gann is a 35-year-old commercial diver from New Jersey and has been looking in the water since the early part of last week with three others.
Gann also <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jan/15/treasure-hunters-dive-mammoth-bones-new-york-east-river-joe-rogan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a> that he has seen around 24 other groups of people out looking.
&#8220;I&#8217;ve hunted for weird artifacts my entire life, so this one, it just kind of fits into my repertoire,&#8221; Gann, who was also in Discovery’s “Sewer Divers,” said.
Gann hasn’t discovered anything, but he has moved locations to a different area of the city, claiming that it would have been a more realistic dumping spot.
&#8220;If I find nothing, then I find nothing. I gave it an honest shot,&#8221; Gann said.

Popular podcast host <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-rogan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Rogan</a> speculated that the classified document scandal plaguing President Joe Biden was proof that even some of his own aides might be looking to see him exit the White House.
During a Saturday episode of &#8220;The Joe Rogan Experience&#8221; — featuring comedians and fellow podcast hosts Matt McCusker and Shane Gillis — <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/joe-rogan-hammers-biden-over-classified-document-scandal-what-does-54-million-from-china-get-you/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rogan</a> addressed the still-unfolding situation involving <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/jonathan-turley-says-corvette-excuse-wont-cut-it-bidens-claim-he-didnt-know-about-docs-could-come-back-to-bite-him/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">classified documents</a> found at locations ranging from Biden&#8217;s former office at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C., to his Wilmington, Delaware, home and garage.
&#8220;It’s crazy. He’s getting jammed up on, like, manila folders when he was like kissing 12-year-old girls on camera,&#8221; McCusker said of the president and the attention being generated by the classified documents.
&#8220;Joe Biden,&#8221; Gillis said.
&#8220;I don’t know jack s*** about politics, but if I had to guess — they’re trying to get rid of him,&#8221; Rogan asserted, going on to say that it was Biden&#8217;s own people who had brought the documents&#8217; existence to light.
&#8220;My guess would be they’re trying to get rid of him. If all of a sudden they’re — his own aides are sending these — instead of like taking these classified documents, which you have located and go, ‘Well, let’s not do that again’ and f***ing locking them up somewhere. His own aides –&#8221; Rogan continued.
&#8220;Self-reporting,&#8221; Gillis added.
&#8220;Dude, come on. That sounds sus. Well, no one self-reported that f***ing laptop,&#8221; Rogan referenced the now infamous Hunter Biden laptop and the lengths people within the administration and the legacy media had gone to keep it under wraps.
&#8220;Well, that was Russian disinformation. That reeks of Russian disinformation,&#8221; Gillis laughed.
Rogan went on to describe some of the efforts that were made to keep Hunter Biden&#8217;s laptop from ever seeing the light of day, adding, &#8220;And even this, they discovered this before the midterms. So they didn’t release the information until after the midterms.&#8221;
McCusker cut in then, noting that if the same situation were superimposed over the family of former President Donald Trump, the media and public response would have been very different.
&#8220;If that was flip-flopped, if it was, you know, Trump’s kid, that would’ve been all over. It would’ve been like, this is the fate of our democracy,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;A hundred percent — A hundred percent. And the media would’ve gone right along with it,&#8221; Rogan agreed.

Scandals

Podcast host Joe Rogan slammed President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden">Joe Biden</a> during multiple broadcasts on his show last week after a report revealed that classified documents were found at the Biden Penn Center and the president&#8217;s home in Delaware.
The situation is so serious that U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland announced at a press conference this week that he has appointed a special counsel to take over the federal investigation into the scandal.
During one segment on his show, Rogan highlighted a New York Post article about how tens of millions of dollars were donated by the Chinese to the Biden think tank were the first batch of classified documents were discovered.
&#8220;So the Chinese might be funding a think tank that has classified documents?&#8221; Rogan <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hd6PuC4TFvk">said</a>. &#8220;$54 million in Chinese gifts donated to UPenn, home of the Biden center. What the f***, man? $54 million in gifts. This just like, you know, yo-yos, and s***. Xboxes, beer koozies. What the f*** are they giving them?&#8221;
&#8220;What&#8217;s crazy is that the documents being there are the big story not that China gave them 50 plus million dollars,&#8221; Rogan said. &#8220;That&#8217;s a big g*****n story. And that seems to be par for the course right?&#8221;
The podcast giant said that the funding from China likely influenced the policies that the organization was promoting. &#8220;So this Biden Penn think tank, what did they promote?&#8221; Rogan said. &#8220;Like, what did they, let&#8217;s see if we can find out what $54 million from China gets you.&#8221;
During another segment, Rogan said that he knew very little about politics but that if he to take a guess, he believes &#8220;they&#8217;re trying to get rid of him [Biden].&#8221;
&#8220;My guess would be they&#8217;re trying to get rid of him, if all of a sudden his own aides are sending these, instead of like taking these classified documents which you have located and go, &#8216;Well, let&#8217;s not do that again&#8217;, and f***ing locking them up somewhere,&#8221; Rogan said. &#8220;His own aides? That sounds sus[picious].&#8221;
&#8220;No one self reported that f***ing laptop,&#8221; Rogan continued. &#8220;They got a hold of the social media companies and lied to them. They did whatever the f*** they could to keep that from happening. And even this, they discovered this before the midterms. They didn&#8217;t released the information until after the midterms.&#8221;

Joe Rogan Hammers Biden Over Classified Document Scandal: What Does ‘$54 Million From China’ Get You?

Merrick Garland

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/terrifying-implications-joe-rogan-blasts-sfs-tremendously-insane-decision-to-allow-robots-to-kill-people">Joe Rogan</a> didn&#8217;t hold back when he compared leftist billionaire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/george-soros">George Soros</a> to an &#8220;evil&#8221; villain in a superhero movie and said it&#8217;s almost like Soros wants &#8220;crime to flourish&#8221; when he supports soft-on crime district attorneys.
During Spotify&#8217;s &#8220;The Joe Rogan Experience&#8221; <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/1oNPaY3g4zWIdHgFfqCPWx?si=c6I8uEE7S_SSPwe_eLLeXQ">podcast</a> on Wednesday, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-rogan">host</a> was speaking with former CIA covert operations officer Mike Baker about how it seems, to him, like Soros &#8220;funds corrosion&#8221; across America.
&#8220;I had a conversation with the [Republican] Governor of Texas about him [Soros], with Greg Abbott, where he was explaining to me what George Soros does,&#8221; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIoL031dWNw">Rogan</a> began.
&#8220;And it&#8217;s f***ing terrifying that he donates money to a very progressive, very leftist, whether it&#8217;s a DA or whatever politician and then funds someone who&#8217;s even further Left than them to go against them,&#8221; he added. &#8220;And then just keeps moving it along. So, he&#8217;s playing like a global game.&#8221;
&#8220;That&#8217;s what&#8217;s scary,&#8221; the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joe-rogan-has-change-of-heart-explains-why-will-smith-has-to-be-forgiven-after-chris-rock-slap">podcast host</a> continued. &#8220;It seems like he funds corrosion. It&#8217;s like he wants these cities to fall apart. He wants crime to flourish. It&#8217;s almost like he&#8217;s an evil person in a &#8216;Batman&#8217; movie.&#8221;

Baker agreed with the host and said the Democratic donor &#8220;understood early on where you wanted to seize power, right?&#8221;
&#8220;We sometimes think a senator, that&#8217;s the pinnacle of success,&#8217; well, it&#8217;s not, really,&#8221; the former CIA covert operative argued. &#8220;It&#8217;s the DAs, and it&#8217;s the state-level politicians. That&#8217;s where real change occurs and where things can happen.&#8221;
Rogan admitted that it&#8217;s &#8220;all very weird&#8221; what Soros does and said he &#8220;has obviously been involved in politics at a very high level for decades and decades, and it seems like it&#8217;s his fun little game.&#8221;
Baker replied that leftist billionaire donor &#8220;likes being the puppet master, he likes pulling strings, he likes having that influence and that impact.&#8221;
Later, Rogan noted the way Soros is &#8220;uniquely public about it.&#8221; He then wondered aloud exactly what Soros&#8217; &#8220;endgame&#8221; was and said, &#8220;when does he wrap this f***ing project up?&#8221;

Joe Rogan took a swipe at President Joe Biden&#8217;s administration over talk about a possible gas stove ban that made headlines this week before the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/regulatory-agency-backs-down-says-there-are-no-plans-to-ban-gas-stoves/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">walked back</a> the idea.
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-rogan">Spotify podcaster</a> and UFC commentator shared an edited picture on his <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CnTurCZOm1w/?igshid=ZmMyNmFmZTc%3D">Instagram</a> clearly mocking the idea of some kind of government agency being sent out to commandeer gas stoves as he praised the image.
&#8220;Not sure who made this [image], but f***ing bravo to whoever it was,&#8221; Rogan captioned his post. &#8220;Edit: props to [grandoldmemes]. I&#8217;ve been told they created this.&#8221;
In the photo, are four men of some kind of authority wearing green gear and badges with the image &#8220;Gas Stove Unit&#8221; photoshopped on their outfits. The men are standing with a white gas stove in front of them.

Rogan&#8217;s post comes after reports surfaced earlier this week that the Biden administration was considering a ban on gas stoves, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/transparently-political-biden-administration-considering-ban-on-gas-stoves">reported</a>.
&#8220;This is a hidden hazard,&#8221; Richard Trumka Jr., a commissioner of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) who was nominated by Biden, told <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-01-09/us-safety-agency-to-consider-ban-on-gas-stoves-amid-health-fears?srnd=green&amp;sref=Vi7wu7Hv">Bloomberg News</a>. &#8220;Any option is on the table. Products that can&#8217;t be made safe can be banned.&#8221;
Days later, the regulatory agency appeared to back down from the idea, with Product Safety Commission Chairman Alex Hoehn-Saric sharing that the agency has no plans to prohibit natural gas stoves after the idea was widely mocked and ridiculed, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/out-of-touch-republican-introduces-bill-to-prevent-nanny-state-in-washington-from-banning-gas-stoves">reported</a>.
Twitter had a field day with it as well, sharing memes and tweets about the idea.
Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis tweeted out a picture showing two stoves, with the message &#8220;Don’t tread on Florida, and don&#8217;t mess with gas stoves!&#8221;

Podcaster Joe Rogan admitted he&#8217;s had a slight change of heart and explained that Will Smith &#8220;has to be forgiven&#8221; after slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars because he&#8217;s a &#8220;human being.&#8221;
During a recent episode of &#8220;The Joe Rogan Experience&#8221; <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/5PQuuviPU7xHqcqZOuCFxM?si=rQqDkc-VRdOMd2b6PTvDTQ">podcast</a>, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-rogan">the host</a> and actor Jon Bernthal talked about what <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/will-smith">Smith</a> did to Rock at the 94th Academy Awards after the comedian cracked a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith&#8217;s shaved head.
Rogan said he was recently speaking with his pal comedian Brian Simpson about what happened to Rock and said he had a similar reaction to Chris Rock after it happened which he said was &#8220;that guy — f*** that guy [Smith] forever.&#8221;
&#8220;And you know, what do you, what do you do with that guy?&#8221; the host shared. &#8220;Like, there&#8217;s a lot of us, in the beginning, we were like, &#8216;F*** that guy. F*** you forever.'&#8221;
&#8220;And I&#8217;m like, &#8216;No.&#8217; You know, now thinking about [it], I&#8217;m like, that guy has to be forgiven,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Like, he clearly has deep remorse for what he&#8217;s done. And he&#8217;s also clearly living in a world where he was given nothing but adulation and praise for most of his life.&#8221;
&#8220;And then all of a sudden he has this one, in many people&#8217;s eyes, unforgivable moment where he does something just so f***ing stupid,&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/terrifying-implications-joe-rogan-blasts-sfs-tremendously-insane-decision-to-allow-robots-to-kill-people">Rogan</a> continued. &#8220;But it&#8217;s not like he doesn&#8217;t realize it. He&#8217;s a human being. You just gotta forgive him, you know? And I think the real person who has to forgive him — if he wants to is Chris Rock.&#8221;
Bernthal agreed and said he was right, that it&#8217;s for Rock to choose to forgive the &#8220;Men In Black&#8221; star or not.
&#8220;You know, and I don&#8217;t know if Chris will,&#8221; Rogan replied. &#8220;I haven&#8217;t even talked to Chris about it.&#8221;
The host said Smith is &#8220;just a person that was in an impossible-to-understand scenario.&#8221;
&#8220;To be a guy who&#8217;s a child star, who goes from that to become one of the most beloved actors in the world &#8230; to this one thing where everybody f***ing hates you,&#8221; Rogan shared. &#8220;Everybody thinks you are a piece of s***. He&#8217;s a human. You gotta forgive him.&#8221;
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joe-rogan-scores-number-one-spot-in-spotifys-podcasts-around-the-world-for-2022">Rogan</a> previously blasted Smith sharing that there was &#8220;no justification&#8221; for slapping the comedian because Rock was &#8220;doing his f***ing job,&#8221; as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chris-rocks-doing-his-fing-job-joe-rogan-blasts-will-smith-after-he-assaulted-rock-at-oscars">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported.
Smith has since apologized several times. In July, the actor issued an apology via a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXrxDKwlA_s">video</a> on social media. Smith said he had reached out to Rock, but the message came back that the comedian was not ready to speak to him yet. Later, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences issued a 10-year ban against Smith.

A mammoth tusk collector has sparked a “bone rush” in New York City’s East River after <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11597249/Mammoth-expert-reveals-location-500-000-tusks-worth-millions-dollars-dumped-East-River.html">telling</a> podcast host Joe Rogan that a huge cache of the incredibly valuable tusks was dumped there roughly 80 years ago.
Millionaire gold miner John Reeves, whose company, Fairbanks Gold LLC. <a href="https://www.cryopolitics.com/2015/10/06/the-man-with-the-mammoth-bones/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">owns thousands of acres</a> of patented mining grounds in Alaska, quoted a draft report from the Fairbanks mining District Alaska, which related how 500,000 tusks were taken from Fairbanks to New York City&#8217;s American Museum of Natural History in 1940.
“They&#8217;re finders keepers. If any of you guys want to go out and find some bones I&#8217;ll tell you exactly where the f*** they&#8217;re at, but I’ll only tell Joe Rogan,” Reeves said.
Then he quoted from the report:
<blockquote>
Mistakes made in the field as to acceptable condition of the bones shipped to New York City were dumped in the East River. The dump site at that time was off the East River Drive at about 65th Street. The common New York City Hospital dump site as well for difficult to dispose of materials, potentially a challenging archaeological dig for archaeologists in the distant future.  
</blockquote>
“They were of no value to these guys,” Reeves asserted. “But you got to remember this was in 1928 to 1958. People, you know miners, didn&#8217;t collect the bones. That’s what makes me such an oddball. I had friends going — when I first started this 15 years ago — going, ‘What the f*** are you doing?’ Fifteen years later, I’m sayin’, ‘We’ll get the goddamn gold, don’t worry about it.”
Since the tusks can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars apiece, Reeves estimated the value of the missing tusks at roughly $1 billion.
“Dude. let me tell you something about mammoth bones, mammoth tusks, they&#8217;re extremely valuable,” Reeves informed Rogan. “I don’t know what kind of current that river has, if it even has a current, all I know is this is where they say they dumped them, and I’ve gotta go with that. If this is where they say they dumped them, this is where they dumped them.”

Vice <a href="https://www.vice.com/en/article/dyvn7w/the-climate-crisis-has-created-a-woolly-mammoth-gold-rush-in-siberia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that a 130-pound tusk can be sold to middlemen in Russia for roughly $20,000 and that the middleman can turn around and sell it in China for as much as $160,000.

&#8220;The problem with that kind of stuff is it continues to go in the same direction where more and more things become forbidden and toxic,&#8221; Rogan said. &#8220;To the point where, you know, the Elon Musk joking around about my pronouns are &#8216;prosecute/Fauci,’ Jimmy Kimmel made a tweet back to him, he said, &#8216;your pronouns are a**/hole,’ which is pretty funny.&#8221;
&#8220;And so then I read that and there&#8217;s people saying, &#8216;Please don&#8217;t joke about pronouns. It&#8217;s transphobic to joke about pronouns,’” he continued. &#8220;So they were chiding him for participating in a joke about pronouns. &#8230; Yes, so they were upset at him, even though he was attacking the appropriate person, he was doing it in a manner which is also construed as being transphobic. Like, they were talking, they were saying that his tweet is transphobic.&#8221;
Rogan then brought up Kimmel&#8217;s past on &#8220;The Man Show,&#8221; saying, &#8220;I mean, he&#8217;s done some pretty outrageous s*** back in the day, you know, for hehes and hahas.&#8221;
&#8220;He&#8217;s had a real problem with Elon from the beginning of this, but it&#8217;s like he&#8217;s in this leftist thought bubble, he&#8217;s in the most leftist thought bubble available, which is Hollywood,&#8221; Rogan said. &#8220;And, you know, I think also, you know, he famously, there&#8217;s some videos of him in blackface and those came out and he had apologized for them. And I think he took that hit and like really doubled down the other direction.&#8221;

Podcast giant <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-rogan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Rogan</a> used his show this week to shine a light on some of the horrifying slave conditions that are used to mine the raw materials used to make electric car batteries and batteries for other devices like cell phones and laptops.
Rogan brought on activist Siddharth Kara to talk about what happens at these mines in Africa, specifically in the Congo.
&#8220;Throughout the whole history of slavery, I mean, going back centuries, never, never in human history, has there been more suffering that generated more profit, and was linked to the lives of more people around the world, ever, ever in history than what&#8217;s happening in the Congo right now,&#8221; Kara said. &#8220;And the reason I say that is this: the cobalt that&#8217;s being mined in the Congo is in every single lithium ion rechargeable battery manufactured in the world today, every smartphone, every tablet, every laptop, and crucially, every electric vehicle.&#8221;
Kara noted that mining conditions in the country are so bad that people are forced at gunpoint to dig for these materials by hand.
&#8220;Cobalt really took off about 10-12 years ago,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And it&#8217;s in another part of the country in the mining provinces in the southeast of the Congo. And cobalt took off because it started to be used in lithium ion batteries to maximize their charge and stability. And it just so happens that the Congo, just as it was sitting on more than half the world&#8217;s reserves of coltan and of course, a lot of gold and diamonds and other things, is sitting on more cobalt than the rest of the planet combined. And it&#8217;s in a small little patch of the Congo, southeastern corner — a part that used to be called Katanga, and before anybody knew what was happening, Chinese government, Chinese mining companies took control of almost all the big mines, and the local population has been displaced, is under duress, and they dig in absolutely subhuman, gut-wrenching conditions for $1 a day, feeding cobalt up the supply chain into all the phones, all the tablets, and especially electric cars.&#8221;

TRANSCRIPTS:
<blockquote>SIDDHARTH KARA, ACTIVIST: We can dig into this in more depth. Throughout the whole history of slavery, I mean, going back centuries, never, never in human history, has there been more suffering that generated more profit, and was linked to the lives of more people around the world, ever, ever in history than what&#8217;s happening in the Congo right now. And the reason I say that is this: the cobalt that&#8217;s being mined in the Congo is in every single lithium ion rechargeable battery manufactured in the world today, every smartphone, every tablet, every laptop, and crucially, every electric vehicle. So you and I, we can&#8217;t function on a day-to-day basis without cobalt, and three fourths of the supply is coming out of the Congo. And it&#8217;s being mined in appalling, heart-wrenching, dangerous conditions. And so that&#8217;s why people need to know because by and large, the world doesn&#8217;t know what&#8217;s happening in the Congo.
JOE ROGAN, HOST: It&#8217;s something that people sort of know, peripherally, that, you know, they call them conflict minerals. And, you know, they know that they&#8217;re coming from an area of the world that&#8217;s very poor, but I don&#8217;t think people are aware of how horrible it is. There has been, have been some documentaries that have been done, and they&#8217;re all terrifying.
KARA: Yeah. So. So, conflict minerals was phase one. And that&#8217;s actually not cobalt.
ROGAN: What does it refer to, conflict minerals?
KARA: So, conflict minerals, also called the 3TG minerals are tin, tungsten, tantalum, and gold. And those are in the eastern Congo. And that catastrophe started around the year 2000, late 1990s, 2000, shortly after the Rwandan genocide. The militias moved in and Eastern Congo is sitting on some of the largest reserves in the world of those 3TG minerals, especially tantalum. And those are all used in microprocessors. And you can think back to, you know, around the year 2000. Mobile phones first started coming out and gaining traction. I still remember my little StarTAC flip phone that I had from Motorola, you remember that? And all that supply was coming out of Eastern Congo, militias and warlords were forcing the local population at gunpoint, machete point, to dig this stuff out. And it was flowing up into the formal supply chain into mostly those first generation cell phones. And that became known as conflict minerals. Cobalt started later. Cobalt really took off about 10-12 years ago. And it&#8217;s in another part of the country in the mining provinces in the southeast of the Congo. And cobalt took off because it started to be used in lithium ion batteries to maximize their charge and stability. And it just so happens that the Congo, just as it was sitting on more than half the world&#8217;s reserves of coltan and of course, a lot of gold and diamonds and other things, is sitting on more cobalt than the rest of the planet combined. And it&#8217;s in a small little patch of the Congo, southeastern corner — a part that used to be called Katanga, and before anybody knew what was happening, Chinese government, Chinese mining companies took control of almost all the big mines, and the local population has been displaced, is under duress, and they dig in absolutely subhuman, gut-wrenching conditions for $1 a day, feeding cobalt up the supply chain into all the phones, all the tablets, and especially electric cars.
ROGAN: And we&#8217;re looking at a video now. Jamie, is this the mines? 
JAMIE: It&#8217;s his video. 
ROGAN: This is so crazy to see. 
KARA: This is the bottom of the supply chain of your iPhone, of your Tesla, of your Samsung. I mean, I&#8217;m just naming those companies, it&#8217;s all of them, right? All of them. We&#8217;re not just picking on them. And here&#8217;s what you need to know, Joe, about this video. I was the first outsider to get into this mine. And that&#8217;s why it&#8217;s just a really short video that I was able to take. This is an industrial cobalt mine, where there&#8217;s not supposed to be one artisanal miner. Now, that&#8217;s the term use for people who are just digging by hand as opposed to tractors and excavators. There is not supposed to be one here. That&#8217;s what the story is told at the top of the chain. This mine, and I can name it, it’s called Shibaura, there is not supposed to be one artisanal miner here, according to the consumer-facing tech companies and EV companies buying this cobalt. Low and behold, I walk into this place, and this is what I see. There&#8217;s more than 15,000 human beings crammed into that pit, digging by hand. And if you have sound, you hear the mallets, you hear the shouting, you hear the the grunts, it&#8217;s a mass of humanity, you might expect to see a scene like this.
ROGAN: So, there&#8217;s a term that gets used, “clean cobalt”?
KARA: There&#8217;s no clean cobalt.
ROGAN: It&#8217;s not real? 
KARA: No, no, it&#8217;s all marketing. It&#8217;s all PR, it&#8217;s a fiction, just like that place. There&#8217;s not supposed to be any artisanal mining there. It&#8217;s all done industrially. That&#8217;s the story told at the top of the chain. And people assume, people I mean, the marketing teams at big tech and EV companies, assume, well, who&#8217;s gonna go down there and actually walk into the place and grab a video that shows no, it&#8217;s actually all raw human force that is clanking that cobalt out of the ground? So there&#8217;s no clean cobalt. There&#8217;s not a single company on planet Earth that makes a device that has a rechargeable battery in it that can reliably and justifiably claim that their cobalt isn&#8217;t coming from sources like that. And that&#8217;s the truth that needs to get out there. That&#8217;s the truth people need to understand. Because this is a story that goes back generations. There&#8217;s these fictions told at the top of the chain about what conditions are like at the bottom. And truth seekers have to go find that truth and enlighten civilization so that people, people get agitated about it, and want to do something about it. So there&#8217;s no clean cobalt, let&#8217;s just make that totally, abundantly clear. And anyone that claims otherwise is either peddling in falsehoods or is recklessly ignorant of the truth.
ROGAN: Are there any industrialized cobalt mines that use machinery and don&#8217;t use slavery and don&#8217;t use child labor and don&#8217;t use these people that live in unimaginable poverty?
KARA: I&#8217;ve never seen one. And I&#8217;ve been to almost all the major industrial cobalt mines. Here&#8217;s why I say that. Number one, they all, or almost all, will have scenes like that on them. Thousands of individuals clanking away for $1 or two $2 a day, okay? They don&#8217;t have safety equipment. All that stuff, cobalt is toxic, toxic to breathe. They&#8217;re breathing it in all day.
ROGAN: No masks, no filtration systems?
KARA: No masks, no gloves, no — half those guys are in flip flops, all right? So almost all the industrial minds will have scenes like that.</blockquote>
