the jurogan experience it just just uh uh a month ago or whenever was that uh texas opened up fauci said cases are gonna are gonna spike now yeah cases are down and you hear what frauchie said which is hilarious what do you say jamie and i were talking about yesterday they asked fouchy like why do you think that the cases haven't spiked in texas he said well obviously the people in texas are what how was how did he phrase it he said they're behaving themselves yeah behaving better and they're behaving better and jamie's like have you [ __ ] been in texas yeah but isn't this also like uh like just completely circular logic yes where you're like okay so if i say this is gonna happen and then the opposite happens it's because of what i said that was you know what i mean that's what cuomo was throwing on everybody's face in new york yeah cuomo was saying if you you know we gotta lock down because you didn't wear your masks you ate the cheesecake you're gonna get fat remember that he was using these [ __ ] down-home analogies like oh and i jesus i'll tell you what i can't stand which just like makes my blood boil is when they use your basic freedoms as a negotiating tool like they're like well if you do x y and z then maybe we'll let you have restaurants exactly maybe we'll let you do this like what the [ __ ] get back some of your freedoms like you're now you're using my freedom as a carrot on a stick to get me to do what i want to do like what type of sick [ __ ] is that yeah and this is one of the reasons why i called you one one of the reasons why i wanted you to come here to do the podcast because i i've heard you talking about uh covet passports about vaccine passports and i share your uh your deep concern about this idea because this is not something that you're just going to keep with covet vaccines if there's a way that they can get you to show your papers and to show whether you have an app on your phone whether you're
you know whatever it is that you have to have in order to be able to freely travel around the united states they're going to keep that [ __ ] yeah well and i said just like i said before if you're just looking at the bigger picture of it you're like look this is uh and i think objectively the country went totalitarian for about a year now not every single part of it was as totalitarian as the rest but according to governors out of the their own words they suspended the bill of rights yeah and we've we've been in a year living under that like how long do you think we can go in living in a totalitarian society before that's just what our society is and there's not really a memory of the old normal or at least that seems like the old times that's not who we are anymore we're already dangerously close to that position and now we have this opportunity where it's like hey joe biden says that everyone who wants to take the vaccine will be able to take it i think by june he said everyone who wants it will be able to take it and that's a perfect little opportunity point to go okay so we break out of it now now we break out of it now you can make a sound argument that if the vaccine's available for everybody the people who want it can take it and the people who don't are choosing to take the risk and now we go back to normal life and at the same time they're proposing this vaccine passport which really if you look at the proposals isn't a passport it's an app right with your your medical history with that can you know your data can be tracked your location can be traced all of these things but what they're talking about doing now when we have this fork in the road we could go back to being a free country not as free as some of us would like but at least the way we used to have it right or we can go to what is being proposed and talked about which is a national caste system where there's one
group of people who have basic freedoms and rights and one group of people who do not they don't have the freedom to travel they don't have the freedom to go to events maybe not to work ideas have been floated out about grocery stores that that's a national caste system and also just uh you know throwing away the idea that you have any type of medical privacy from the government this is being uh it's being done in collusion between big businesses and governments and this is already happening it's being done in new york city it's being done in other countries and there were reports in the washington post in cnn about the biden administration meeting with these big businesses to say oh you know what it's not really good enough to do a local level or a state level thing we need to have one national standard so you're talking about a national caste system and if we embrace that man i i don't mean to be hyperbolic but like i think this whole thing is [ __ ] like i really think this whole country we are not going to come out of this if we embrace the idea of now this is an idea straight out of the chinese social credit system this is what they're proposing we do by the way china already has the coveted passport this is what china does that's it no sense of like you have a right to do this you have a right to not do that and come on you think they're going to take that power and then this will only ever be used for the covid vaccine so logically it doesn't seem to make sense if the vaccine is available to everybody who wants it and everybody who wants it gets vaccinated who are we protecting yeah if these folks are out there that aren't vaccinated that are supposedly these super spreaders and that's what we're supposed to stop right the idea is that these people aren't vaccinated they're dangerous and we have to you you're not being a good citizen because you have been vaccinated so what we're going to do is
we're going to keep you from doing all the things that you want to do and we're going to allow those other people that have been vaccinated to have those freedoms but aren't those people who have been vaccinated have those freedoms aren't they they're not vulnerable right isn't that the idea yeah so so it doesn't matter it logically it makes no sense um morally it makes no sense but it is an unbelievable opportunity for the government to really keep a a serious you know level more of control but i think the biden administration has rejected this so far like there was a there was a discussion where they were asked and i think was what's her name jen saki she was saying that they have no plans whatsoever to do uh vaccine passports and that this is not something that the body administration believes in yeah so what happened was there were these reports that were out that said that the body administration was consulting with these these big businesses on how to do it there was a big uproar about it and then when she was asked she was like no no we're not going to do that and ultimately i think that's quite possibly what ends up happening like i think oftentimes they put out these feelers to kind of see what the people are willing to take like going to war with syria yes yeah it gets a little bit too much pushback we're going to back off remember when they tried to regulate the internet during the obamacare yes the sopa bill or whatever they put it out there everyone lost their [ __ ] not yet not yet okay not quite ready but it's so that might be the case and then there's all these other arguments you know like just the practicality of it i mean like look if you say you have to show a driver's license before you vote people will lose their minds about how this is racist because poor people and black people disproportionately tend to not have
driver's licenses so what is an app on a smartphone i mean how do you think that's going to work in practice if you're saying you need that to do these basic things um so there's all types of these problems of how you would implement it but it's still worth noting that they floated this out like there are these people in our government who would go chinese fascist on us if they if they could if they could catch new episodes of the joe rogan experience for free only on spotify watch back catalog jre videos on spotify including clips easily seamlessly switch between video and audio experience on spotify you can listen to the jre in the background by using other apps and can download episodes to save on data cost all for free spotify is absolutely free you don't have to have a premium account to watch new jre episodes you just need to search for the jre on your spotify app go to spotify now to get this full episode of the joe rogan experience
