Starting point is 00:00:00 Okay guys, hello and welcome to another episode of the JRE review. Today I am reviewing Tulsi Gabbitt, who's a new 2020 presidential runner candidate. I think that's the correct word. On a podcast 1295. This was a really interesting conversation. She's been on Rogan before and I wasn't running for president then but Joe was asking her and I think he may have had a sneaky feeling. Joe says in this one that this is his favorite presidential candidate of all time or at least now, that's a huge statement and she's from Hawaii and I like the way she says Hawaii. Hawaii or something.
Starting point is 00:00:48 I need to practice that, but I like it. Anyway, let's start the review. [♪ OUTRO MUSIC PLAYING [♪ Welcome to the Joe Rogan Experience Review! Where each week I review every single episode of the Joe Rogan Experience. What more do you want? All right, so what did I get out of this?
Starting point is 00:01:15 Well, I liked, I liked a lot of what she had to say. Her conversation with Joe is really nice because she seems super down to earth real, you know? because she seems super down to earth real, you know. And it's also hard to believe that anyone once they get to the position of president can stay that real. I think that job is just so overwhelming and there's so much pressure on everything you say that some things may change. But you know, she's already a congresswoman and you know, for a young person. I think she's 38 She has a lot of experience in life, you know more of me. I'm close to her age veteran joined after 9-11, you know, she was amped about that Did say
Starting point is 00:02:01 Doesn't think policing the world works, you know, and I guess that's how you look at the word policing, but, but being an aggressor all over the world, I mean, it's not bringing people together that I agree with, you know, seems reasonable. And I like that she's doing what she calls a people-powered campaign. So she's not taking any super-packed money, lobbyist money. That's cool. How long can that last can you even run a Campaign like that. I guess it just depends how much money is coming in how many followers you get how much energy there is behind
Starting point is 00:02:34 When you when you campaign starts I don't know when they all start running for this if it's 2020. They must be starting really soon. I don't know 2020 they must be starting really soon. I don't know. So I guess that's kind of what she's doing now with this right. She's making that effort and running up against Trump. Man, that is a daunting task. You know, I mean, he to be fair, whatever you think of him, he does kind of crush people when it comes to those debates. He's an overpowering individual. They talk a bit about privacy concerns, social media, you know, selling our information, terms and conditions. He even brings up a classic South Park episode. I think it's called like Ice Sentypad, where Stan signs the terms of conditions for Apple or whatever it is.
Starting point is 00:03:30 And then they they like sewn together and it's a hilarious episode. And it's like a good point like nobody reads those things. So where is this information going? And you know, with politics as a whole, it's like, it really is always to me felt like just old people are running shit, you know, and now the president's all this fuck, so it's just kind of like the old way of thinking. Like you think when he was born, how different the world was, it might not hurt to have some young energy in the top spot, in a sense. But we have had younger people before. I think JFK was pretty young when he
Starting point is 00:04:08 got in. So this isn't exactly like a new thing. But it's politics is with young people. We're making changes. Marijuana, getting legal, shrooms, decriminalized in Denver, what else? What else are we capable of? I think people are starting to believe that their vote makes a difference. Kind of like out with the old, in with the new, right? And I guess the rise of these people powered campaigns, it definitely is gonna give a lot more individual power to personal representation.
Starting point is 00:04:44 I'm talking like I know what I'm talking about, I don't. I'm not a very political person, but I liked listening to this. This is a good way to learn about the politicians, you know, when they sit down and have a big long conversation. In a way, I wish more politicians, Congress people, senators, whatever, even old ones would go on Rogan. I think that it's a good way to like get a message across and explain kind of what you're up to.
Starting point is 00:05:10 It's yeah, it's pretty cool even Joe talked about having Clinton on and doing shrooms with him and getting to the bottom of like what was going on back in the day. I think that would be fucking crazy. Definitely would be the most downloaded podcast in human history, but it's unlikely. Don't hold your breath for that one. Joe did ask this simple question. Why would you want to do this job? Because if you know Rogan's podcast, he doesn't really think that the job of president should even really exist. It's just too much for one person to handle. And Tosi says to make a difference. You know, not a super unique answer. I'm pretty sure everyone says something close to that.
Starting point is 00:05:51 But you know, it seemed genuine, right? And I do like the fact that she said that she never wanted to be president. Because I'm sure most of everyone wanted to be, I don't know how true that is if you're running for Congress because, you is if you're running for Congress because you know, you're always trying to think of the next step, but maybe she does just focus on one thing at a time, her task at a time, representing Hawaii, and now she's like, I want to do something bigger than that. I want to make a bigger change. You know, I like that. make a bigger change. You know, I like that. She does, she says she feels very strongly
Starting point is 00:06:27 about making things better. And how is she defined better through the podcast I liked? I'd be interested to hear your feedback on what you got out of it. I mean, this is going out to a lot of people on Rogan's podcast, and not everyone is a Democrat, so it would be cool to get some feedback and see what people are thinking. Talked about higher minimum wage. I wish I knew more about economics and how that works because you get those finance
Starting point is 00:06:55 guys on there and those business guys and they say that would destroy business. They are running businesses. They really talking about destroying businesses and the ability to hire, are they really talking about it destroying businesses and the ability to hire or are they just thinking about getting a new pool and how much money they can siphon off the top? I just don't know, but it sounds good to me. I think people should be able to live okay from a full-time job. To think that someone's working 40 hours a week and they can't even survive on that. That's a bit of a shame. At least even at the minimum level.
Starting point is 00:07:30 And I'm sure it happens. Definitely does around L.A. because they're so expensive. People here often don't have cars that take in the bus, just to pay for their rent and other things. It's expensive area and it's tough. She told a cool story and you're here at about how she got her mother who owns some sort of like macadamia, not toffee company, to make these little candy treats for all the congress people and their staff and then
Starting point is 00:08:03 she was getting all these thank yous from like both sides of the aisle and that's like a cool idea and it's a super nice gesture as well like it's a really cool nice gesture just that she's even thinking in those ways like if she's thinking in those ways what does it mean when she's president is she like buying all the other elected officials from all the other countries like little candy treats and, you know, who knows what it takes to kind of bring people together. When people are disagreeing on things, the conversation doesn't always go the way that's
Starting point is 00:08:35 going to bring people together. But if you bring some treats to the mix, little candy treats, then maybe that works. I liked it. I thought that was a really cool idea. The kind of wiki leaks and Julian Assad snode in conversation part was interesting to me. It sounded like Tulsi was sympathetic to that idea of them releasing the information and not necessarily against them and wanting to prosecute them. I think something like letting Snowden back in the country so he doesn't have to live
Starting point is 00:09:15 in Russia for the rest of his life would be a really bold move. And obviously, governments need secrets and things but but the punished people that out like actual government crimes is kind of weird I mean a little bit right I mean it's like oh you caught me red-handed so you go in a jail that one doesn't give you a lot of faith really in in government activities so I like to kind of where she was coming from and I think as president she could solely Kind of what are they call it forgive? No, there's another term, but like you know drop the charges on those things and allow you know snowden to kind of come back and
Starting point is 00:10:01 That I don't know that would be a big move a progressive move and a different one which is which is cool And then they kind of finish up talking about China China what China's up to she had concerns just like the I guess the Trump administration does Huawei phones is a big one Joe loves talking about those I think he loves the phones, but he's like what's going on with this company? You know are they watching our stuff are they they stealing our data? Are they taking this information? You know, in the US, I guess, is like coming down on this company a little bit. So it's, though it sound like concerns that you should think about, maybe. I don't know. That's,
Starting point is 00:10:41 that's beyond my pay grade. I have no idea. It's uh they're fucking cool phones though I'm not gonna lie. They're really good and they're way cheap. So Yeah, if they have found a sneaky way to get Spy technology into our hands. They're not doing a terrible job of it But anyway, yeah, give me some feedback on this This is a big one because she is running for president and it's not like a joke like like she might be a strong candidate to go up against Trump and we might be hearing from him a lot. Maybe she doesn't win this time but she's young, she can run again. And this person might be responsible for changing the world in a way. So yeah, let me know your feedback.
Starting point is 00:11:18 And guys, as always, and gals, thanks for downloading. I appreciate you. Have a great day.
