Starting point is 00:00:00 What up people, Shultz here and you guys are about to listen to a clip from our weekly Patreon episode. If you want to sign up to our Patreon, support the flagrancy, support what we are doing, completely uncensored, flagrant content, you go to patreon.com slash flagrant2. With no more interruptions, here is the exclusive clip. Rogan is doing a podcast with Tom Segura. He's doing his podcast with Tom Segura. And Segura opens it in a funny way. And then Rogan gets to kind of sound off on all the people that have been very critical of the drugs that he took to keep himself alive.
Starting point is 00:00:41 While he had COVID. While he had COVID. Run that clip, Al. The Joe Rogan experience. Well, well, well. If it isn't old horse worm Rogan. I'm glad you're well, man. Bro, do I have to sue CNN?
Starting point is 00:00:57 I don't know. Do you? They're making shit up. They keep saying I'm taking horse dewormer. I literally got it from a doctor. It's an American company. It's a They won the Nobel Prize in 2015 for use in human beings. Yeah, and CNN is saying I'm taking horse dewormer. Yeah, what so they must know that that's a lot
Starting point is 00:01:16 There's a lot of people saying it right but a lot of people can say okay like the internet says it who cares sure But CNN is saying it. Jim Acosta. I meant like USA Today, a few other places. Yeah. And they're talking about ivermectin, right? So what, because I don't know, I just saw so much news about you. I mean, I would talk to you and check on you and see if you're all right. And you're like, you threw the kitchen sink at it, you said, which was stuff that, you know, you took IV drips and what was it? Mono, what? iv drips and was it mono what mono monoclonal antibodies and that what is monoclonal antibodies the shit they gave trump okay yeah um okay do you
Starting point is 00:01:53 think you should sue cnn it would be fun it would be fun and they did i guess that's slander huh or libel if it's written yeah yeah i'd be curious to know what like the legal precedent is because like it's one of those things where technically... He didn't clarify that he was taking the one for human beings. I mean, but that should be understood, right? Yeah, but in the legal sense. So that's what I'm wondering. I doubt that there's a legal case.
Starting point is 00:02:18 No, there's no legal case. But I understand what he's saying. And basically, just to clarify for everybody out there, is that ivermectin is also prescribed for human beings right and they won a nobel peace prize for it now ivermectin is in much greater quantities a horse dewormer right so when you take it as a human you take much smaller quantity but if you hate joe rogan and you don't like his stance on the vaccine you don't like his politics of course you're going to use every opportunity to make it look like he takes fucking horse pills. Right.
Starting point is 00:02:48 So CNN posting it other places. I think Jamie was saying like USA Today was posting it. These types of places. It is kind of crazy that they would just run with that because you know that they're politically aligned with the opposition of Joe Rogan. So you know that they're doing it to slander him. But they found a nice little caveat where they are allowed to do that. They're not even just politically aligned. He threatens their kind of existence a little bit, which is this whole alternate news
Starting point is 00:03:10 source that people go to. Podcasts in general have become like this third-party news source that a lot of people get their news from. And we're not all getting it from NPR or the fucking Daily that Alex listens to. So they're thinking, we gotta get this guy out of here. I was off of Daily, I can tell. No, I still do Nah
Starting point is 00:03:25 You used to come through With facts bro Every single day You had no facts at all You had information I usually have to catch up Like towards the end of the week I'm not listening anymore
Starting point is 00:03:33 So you're listening To two week old news Like man We pulled out of Afghanistan I wish you talked about this On the podcast That's crazy Nah but he used to come in
Starting point is 00:03:41 Ready bro He'd listen to his little Fucking daily Come through Yeah and then I would get too much criticism for being liberal. So I chilled out. Still do it. You're like, government, look at my underwear.
Starting point is 00:03:52 Nah, but I chill out in a little bit. Not as much. I got to give him some doses. Like Ivermectin. Give it in doses. Yo, I just think it's like, let's just be honest with what it is. That'd be really nice. It'd be really nice if a newspaper just came out.'re like we don't like this guy yeah so we're gonna
Starting point is 00:04:08 bash him and every opportunity we have we're gonna bash him right you're like a magician dude you can't reveal that it's all fucking nothing but it's so close like they're it's all so close i feel like everybody's revealed it except them it's like everybody it's what is it the emperor's new clothes it's like everybody knows that they're naked but they refuse to acknowledge that they're naked fox news cnn all them like we know you're political leaning right stop saying we're the truth yes say we're what makes you feel good this is right wing candy left wing candy you need some left wing candy come to us because we're going to give you the left wing feel good story every time i give credit to msnbc and fox news i don't think they say they're impartial i don't think they say they're impartial. I don't think they say they're like
Starting point is 00:04:46 not biased. Fox's slogan is the real news or the truth. It's in the slogan. The place for the truth. Just tell us what the fuck it is and I'd be much happier because I'd go okay, 8 o'clock, I'm gonna read what the left gotta say. 9 o'clock, I'm
Starting point is 00:05:02 gonna read what the right gotta say. Boom, I'm ready for my day. I'll make my own decision right here in the middle you don't have to be in the middle it's fucking hard we tried to do it it murdered us we did it for months and it was so fucking difficult to do to thread that needle every single day i understand why both of them don't they're basically comics comics just come through the premise right they're like hey why are dudes bad yeah boom tell us and then other people go why are women bad boom tell us right much easier it's a much easier way to make a living way more entertaining huh it's way more entertaining to watch yeah watching objective shit is boring it's
Starting point is 00:05:37 facts we're feelings we like feelings dude that's why that's why honestly fox news is so fucking entertaining because they will find a way to just defend anything. And somebody will come on that show and they will do it. They will get someone. It doesn't matter what the fuck it is. They will get someone to come out there and be like, yep, totally understand why you had to shoot those people in the head. Yeah, they're Americans, but they stayed in Afghanistan too long.
Starting point is 00:06:02 They'll just find a way to defend whatever the fuck it is, and you're like, oh, how is he going to do it? It feels like you're watching a comic. It really does. And I just care less about the left-wing argument. It's just not as interesting, just like I care less about the left-wing argument from a comic. Like, if they're going to go up there and be like,
Starting point is 00:06:17 we need equal rights for everybody. It's easy. Okay, yeah, sure, great. It's easy. Obviously. Jump off the high dive. Defend your rights. Tell me why midges shouldn't get library cards.
Starting point is 00:06:26 Make an argument that is so fucking absurd that I'm going to want to keep listening. So of course the right-wing media is going to run the internet. It's just way more digestible. It's fun. It's sweet. It's candy. Even if you don't agree with it. I wonder how many people just watch it like, let me see what these crazy motherfuckers say.
Starting point is 00:06:44 I really wonder. Of course the left-wing media shit is dying, right? Because you don't have Trump to push back against. And everything that is... When Joe Rogan is your Trump, you're reaching. That's right. They're trying to make Joe the Trump. When Joe Rogan is your Trump, you're reaching.
Starting point is 00:06:57 And I was thinking about how you don't get sued. I guarantee you they cleared that headline with legal. With legal. Whatever the legal department was. Can we say this? It is technically a drug that gets used on horses sometimes yeah so we have it it's so funny to see like the grifters who just like made all their their money and they may got all their clicks off of trump just scramble for their new bad guy all right guys we're gonna take a break from this

I want to see him get there. But this guy's going for it. I want to see him get there. This is a crazy.
Starting point is 00:09:46 It's the same reason you watch comedy. It's like, what is it? What is it? Chris Rock's whole bit. We got to get rid of guns. No, we got to make bullets expensive. You're like, okay. That's a decent idea.
Starting point is 00:09:56 I like it. Where are we going with this? Where are we going? The more salacious the premise, the more interesting it's going to be. Chris Rock defended the fucking Columbine shooters, I think, or something like that. That's three on three and a half court. It is. That's going to be. Chris Rock defended the fucking Columbine shooters, I think, or something like that. That's three on three and a half court. That's half court basketball.
Starting point is 00:10:10 We could watch that. So maybe it's just more interesting to watch even though it's not there. But yeah, you're right. The fucking right griffs, the left griffs, and they fall the fuck apart when they don't have someone to push back against. And it's so true. And everybody has to be a threat to
Starting point is 00:10:25 your fucking existence everybody aoc is a threat to freedom donald trump is a threat to freedom this country can't survive without they vilify these people and now when you're reaching at joe rogan like he's a threat to fucking the nation it's just the craziest shit the guy literally just brings on people who are experts in their field and goes how do you feel about this yeah they say it he has an interesting discussion ask the questions that we would ask because we're not fucking scientists that are dissecting ivermectin every single day does it kill me is it good for me can it help me if i have bad cold you just ask these questions and then all of a sudden somehow he's some like villain go also he said by the third day he felt almost completely fine so
Starting point is 00:11:04 something he took worked. Give me that shit. None of us felt better with COVID after three days. He said, I was on a drip for three straight fucking days. I was in a goddamn hospital. Mark got it twice. Allegedly. Allegedly.
Starting point is 00:11:16 I was depressed in a pool house. Really, though. That was the toughest part of COVID. Dude, can those things go together? Like, what a bougie bitch this guy is, right? I was depressed in a pool house. Sounds like a Drake lyric, dude. That tracks. Never call me. things go together like what a bougie bitch this guy is right i was depressed in the sounds like a drake lyric dude never call me in the boathouse certified never move the router so i get the wi-fi
Starting point is 00:11:34 shitty wi-fi yeah and you saw the rolling stone retracted their article about the ivermectin thing dude what did they say how is there no punishment for this yeah go on yeah so basically they published a story suggesting that at a hospital in Oklahoma, they talked to a doctor who was allegedly working there and he told them that they were refusing gunshot victims because they had so many people that were overdosing on horse strength ivermectin. And then it got published by the Rolling Stone and then hundreds of other like news outlets, like both, like just all over. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:03 This is the best part. They ended up finding out that that doctor hasn't worked there in a few months. But no one did the due diligence to follow up. What the fuck is journalism, dog? They're just sluts. They're only fans. They're only fans for COVID news. That's all Rolling Stone, CNN.
Starting point is 00:12:17 You're only fans for facts. The only fans for facts, but it's not even facts. Fox News, all of them. What's the most salacious story? Where's the candy? Where are the sweets? How do I give the people the sweets? They're giving you titties of facts. Fox News, all of them. What's the most salacious story? Where's the candy? Where are the sweets? How do I give the people the sweets? They're giving you titties of facts.
Starting point is 00:12:28 That's it. And it's one thing when you're a person on like fucking Instagram and you're like, hey, I'm doing my news thing. Here's my opinion on this
Starting point is 00:12:34 or here's what I think of this. It's another thing if you're an established news brand. And you're telling, saying you're the truth and on top of that, you're hiding behind your brand. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:41 So you're not like a person putting your neck out as an independent journalist being like, yo, here's what I think this is. You're just like your brand. Yeah. So you're not like a person putting your neck out as an independent journalist being like, yo, here's what I think this is. You're just like a faceless entity, this giant institution that's basically saying like, here's information.
Starting point is 00:12:51 And they do nothing to correct the misinformation, right? They put the header saying like, technically, this is this. But they've done the comparison tweets, like the tweet that says that the hospital is turning away gunshot patients for people that are ODing on ivermectin gets 10,000 retweets. The header that says they fucked up the story gets 20. Max. So you're not really doing the due diligence.
Starting point is 00:13:12 And here's the thing, they can't because their business is run by interest and retweets. Nobody's retweeting that the story was fake. You're retweeting that the story confirms your beliefs, which are ivermectin, people taking that to be good and beat COVID, bad, right? But they're eroding their own trust slowly
Starting point is 00:13:29 and they can't help it. You have to do it. This happened real quick on that. It makes me feel like people, exactly, it makes me feel like people don't care about trust. I cared about, I care about trust. I used to think that's what it was.
Starting point is 00:13:40 Like I can trust that this place is going to give me the truth, right? But I think people just care about feeling good. So it's just like, how can you confirm my feelings? You don't need to be the most trusted news source. You need to be the most trusted source that's going to confirm my feelings.
Starting point is 00:13:53 Is Joe Rogan a bad guy? Who's going to tell me he's bad today? Yes, I'll go to you. And I guess, because I was thinking the term news, inherently it should be truth. But I think now we don't even care. The news is just something to echo what we like. Echo what we feel. And the same thing happened
Starting point is 00:14:09 on the right side with the dogs in Afghanistan. Do you remember this? No, tell me. Basically there were all these dog kennels. Oh, I saw this. Fuck me up this picture. It's the same exact thing. Such a right wing news. This is great. Basically there's all these dogs. They're military canine animals that are all in these
Starting point is 00:14:25 different kennels sitting in what looks like an airport hangar. And there's probably like 10 kennels all kind of stacked on each other. And then the picture
Starting point is 00:14:32 got posted on the internet. And then the title that came with it is US troops and Joe Biden are leaving these dogs to die in the kennels at the hands of the Taliban. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:41 I got sent that by right wing friends. This is what these fucking frauds do. And if you do have a dog, you care about dogs, right? You're like, how the fuck could this animal do that? It's the worst thing ever. It kills you in a way that no other crime does.
Starting point is 00:14:54 It's like you're going to leave a dog to die, starve in a cage. It's like the most inhumane thing you could even think. And then Pentagon came out and they were like, yeah, this isn't true. This is an erroneous report. We're not going to just leave dogs in a kennel. we would euthanize them or whatever but like they're like we're not just gonna leave them there to starve wait a minute did they kill him no no they said
Starting point is 00:15:10 no they said they took him back but they were like they did take him back they were just like it makes no sense so they didn't even fact check the story that's just thing is it's a perfect example it's like a girl taking a picture where she looks skinnier and her tits look fatter than they actually really do she's like oh it's going on a gram oh you mean like all pictures every picture yeah exactly and it's like that's what it's going on a gram. You mean like all pictures? Every picture? Yeah, exactly. And it's like, that's what Fox is good with. Did Fox post it? Everyone posted it. But yeah, every right-wing news source, right? And all the right-wing
Starting point is 00:15:32 grifters and all the... And I got sent that by a friend who's the number one don't trust the media. They're all full of shit, but he's a right-wing motherfucker going crazy. And now this has to be a fact. It's of course what I feel. Exactly. Because you're waking up going, why is Biden bad? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:46 And they're going all these news sources going, please tell me why he's bad. He doesn't like dogs. He just left the dogs. Oh, he served in the military. He's like, I can't believe I wake up in pain every day for this. Like this motherfucker was going off. You know why? You know why they ran with that story?
Starting point is 00:15:59 Why? I bet you they ran with that story because the Cuomo leaving his dog at like the governor's palace story. Cruz, right? No, Cuomo left his dog at the governor's palace or whatever. Apparently, allegedly. I don't even know if that's true. But that story, murdered. Because everybody was, fuck Cuomo. You had the left and the right saying, fuck Cuomo.
Starting point is 00:16:17 Because the left was all like, how dare he touch women? And the right's like, he's a Democrat. But both of them are like, we care about dogs, right? That story, murdered. I guarantee there's somebody at the right's like, he's a Democrat. But both of them are like, we care about dogs, right? That story murdered. I guarantee there is somebody at the right wing news sources who are just sitting there like, oh, we got a dog story? You run it, Beck.
Starting point is 00:16:33 It's Uncle Burke. Run it. Also, Cruz. Space Jam 2. When Cruz ran to Cancun, he left his dog. Everybody was like, how the fuck you leave your dog? Why would you do that? Dog stories hit.
Starting point is 00:16:43 Bro, dog stories hit you differently, man. That shit sucks. Actually, the dog stories might be the stories that actually bring us together. Because they're the most pure and innocent and good. Every human
Starting point is 00:16:52 has done some shitty things. A dog don't know no better. He gets his shit on a carpet. Worst thing he does. Worst thing he does. Doug loves dogs, man. It's his favorite thing. Don't get me started.
Starting point is 00:17:01 When Doug's going out to New York stealing your dog. This is a three times a week situation that we're in. What's that? Borrowing the dog. You're going to borrow three times a week? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:10 Just make sure it shits so that I don't have to wake my girl up in the middle of the night. The hardest part was making it not touch. You need to give me the dog with Xanny's. No, I'm going to give you the, what's it called? What? The Zapper. Oh, I thought you like Xanny's, like the drug. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:25 We need that drug. Just walk around with a little squirt bottle and some water. Just shoot it. No, his girl actually, they had the little collar and she's like, I don't think you want to walk around with that thing. So the animal, they'll be judged. I want to be judged. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:37 Like Charlemagne always says, like the truth isn't important when the lie is more entertaining. Exactly. Like that's just life at this point. Son, what if for like six months we all just told the truth? more entertaining. Exactly. That's just life at this point. Son, what if for like six months, we all just told the truth? Or not even we. Like, don't fucking trust us for the truth. Trust us for fun.
Starting point is 00:17:52 We're going to make every story the most fun. Feelings, no facts. It's feelings, no facts. Please say that again. We are not a fucking news source. Don't come to us for the news. Come to us to hear the funniest takes about a story. That's what we're going to do.
Starting point is 00:18:02 Okay? And sometimes we'll fail miserably in that, but we are going to talk about it. We're going to give you feelings, no facts.
