Hello and welcome to another episode of the J.I.E review where I review the Joe Rogan Experience podcast for the week Basically this podcast for those of you that are new to it is like the News is the current events the current events being Joe Rogan's podcast the news being this one where I just report on all the best and most interesting things that I found in each podcast through the week. It gives you a little breakdown. Sometimes I have guests on and we talk about how you've been inspired maybe by the Rogan podcast over the years and kind of what things you've got out of it.

This week we had podcast 1197 Michael Malis. This one I kind of listened to out of order but it was a really good one that I've been wanting to listen to this guy is like a journalist and Reports on a lot of interesting things always has a pretty cool take on stuff and generally doesn't give a shit So he's he's worth checking out for sure. He's been friends with Joe Rogan for some time From what I can tell and they get on well. And they had a good time.

It was a great conversation. Michael opens up with how much he is enjoying everything with Trump happening in the media. This seems to be because he really enjoys the chaos. He gives him a lot to talk about and a lot to reflect on. And he really feels like everything will be fine in the end but he's basically saying yeah Trump is just being nuts. He's having press conferences that are kind of out of control where he's jumping all over

journalists and they're having to kind of do the same thing, raising their voice and budding into him. There was an issue with I guess when Trump met Kim Jong Il and this one journalist jumps out and just kind of says, hey what about that kid? What was that kid's name? Otter. I don't remember. The kid that was like real young and was tortured by him and ended up dying. And you know, the point is they're just making out like Trump.

Trump has change the dynamic of these press conferences. So, you know, in a way, the media guys have to do the same thing because they got to keep up with him, you know, they got to adjust, they got to be just as outrageous as he is. Another thing that Michael talks about is he doesn't vote, right? So for someone that's so into politics, you think that's kind of strange, but Joe Rogan poured up a good point that Hunter S. Thompson, who was the guy that Johnny Depp played in the movie, Fear and Loathing, and was Rolling Stone's reporter, like in the 60s and 70s, said that most effective change happens at the local level. And I think Hunter ram for like a sheriff's position or something.

And now it's an interesting point because when you think about what really affects you, it's going to be things on a local level. So, you know, when it comes to getting into politics and people giving you pressure about, oh, you got to vote, voting's really important. Yeah, it is. people giving you pressure about, oh you got to vote, voting is really important. Yeah it is, but you know in some ways maybe it's more important for it to be done at a local level, instead of worrying about who the president will be. I guess you got to worry a little bit, but anyway, he talked a little bit about Hillary and how Bill never apologizes for everything that happened with Monica.

And in today's age, that would clearly be seen as abuse like me too stuff, because she was almost the same age as Bill Clinton's daughter at the time. And she's like 20 years old and this is the president. So they make a good point both Joe and Michael saying well this is this clearly would be seen as abuse but Hillary said no she's an adult she made her own choices which is awful because let's be fair if that happened to their kid I'm sure they do something very different um but yeah they also uh were supposedly stole some furniture when they left the White House and had to give that back. And another thing Michael said is they took all the W's off the keyboards as a bit of a joke

so that George W couldn't put his W in his name. I don't know, it just sounded fine to me that was quite interesting. But yeah, back to the whole whole Monica Lewinsky issue that they discussed I mean she was an intern for the president and there's no more powerful position the president What is it 20-year-old girl supposed to think you know it really? You can put some responsibility on her and say well she shouldn't have chose to do it But that but that's asking a lot from a very young impression of a girl that's already really into politics

and was probably you know just really swept back by this charming man who has also really seen as the most powerful man on the planet. And yeah it definitely was a me to type incident that since it was before that time, you know, everybody really brought it up in that way, but that's what it was. And Michael brought up an interesting point that the women's rights groups back then really did nothing about it. They didn't jump all over Clinton. And I mean, you could see it as that is because

you know he's a Democrat and he supports a lot of the things that they want anyway. But who knows, who knows why that was the case. I mean it's maybe it's just a more sensitive time now and they would they'd be all over it. I mean they mention also how that the Netflix CEO recently got five for using the N word, but he used it in the context of saying, don't say this, don't say this word, and then said the word, and then they fired him for it.

And it's kind of crazy. I mean, unless they were just out to get him and this was the reason they chose, but I don't know. I, when you're using the context of saying don't say it and you're not being sarcastic, I think that's a bit harsh to get fired for it. They bring up how Roseanne was fired, you know, for her perceived racist tweet, still somewhat undetermined. And yeah, now that show is basically hemorrhaging money because that was, you know, once you take Roseanne out of Roseanne, what is left?

Nothing, a nameless show. But it's kind of funny because, you know, she's seen as a Republican now, she pretty much is, and she was saying that it seems like a lot of what the liberal people working on the show were kind of out to get her. But that's funny because really when she sang an national anthem many years ago and she like spit at the end that it was it was less than tasteful but probably in the style of of Rosanne. It was the Republicans that were out for her, which is quite funny. It just kind of highlights the tribalism that they face and this is what Michael reports on a lot of times. And really Joe was saying it could have been a teachable moment. It could have really just, you know, even on the show, just made the point of like what happened

and what was said and turned it into something where everyone can kind of learn something. They bring up also how people pretend to be a certain way, like Elizabeth Warren, pretended to be Native American, and it turned out she was like 1-1,000th even though she used it to get. I think in the college and some other stuff she was also named in a book, like a powwow cookbook about native food, and remember she's not native at all. But you know it's what people are doing to define themselves and lie about who they are and change it. And then at the same time you get these groups of people that are getting so outraged that just basically calling everyone an Nazi. And Michael brings up an interesting

point. He's like yeah, an Nazi Aatsi is the new N word. It's like as soon as anyone wants to attack you, they just call you that. They jump to the worst thing immediately, which is not. Then Joe and Michael talk a little bit calmer. They talk a bit about Michael's social life. He's going on this trip with some friends

where he drinks 32 quarter shots in a drinking game so you just 32 shots sounds like a lot that would be way too much but they're quarter shots so it only adds up to about eight but he's doing that with some friends he used to be a spelling-peat champion back in 1984 in New York so he was like I guess the best spell it which is fascinating he talked a bit again about how he doesn't vote. He doesn't believe in the process that we have right now. He said the best way to do it. It's just organize who you want to align with on each topic and and show you. You give give them your power that way. Pay attention to what they're

saying and give them a platform and That's a better system because the system that we live in he feels is is a very old model old old model That isn't effective anymore, but it's it it's a really interesting part It's a lot of fun. It's a good podcast great conversation Michael is fascinating to do very intelligent and if you want to get to know kind of Him as a character, join in and check it out. But anyway, thanks guys for joining in. I appreciate it, we'll talk soon, bye!
