Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.

Did you see Hoechlin, what she said, that young black kids don't know what a computer is? Did you see her say that?
Joe Rogan (0:22)
No, I didn't see that.
Dave Smith (0:23)
Oh my god, and all these dudes did these hilarious videos where these young black guys got around a computer and they stared at it and bit it and took it.
Joe Rogan (0:34)
It's like an age thing too, because that used to kind of be the line that liberals would say, the problem with black kids is they just don't have any role models, they've never been exposed to this, but that's just totally not true anymore.
And sometimes now, because they're from a different generation, they'll still say that. Have you been around black people lately?
Dave Smith (0:54)
Saying young poor black kids don't know what a computer is is so crazy.
Joe Rogan (1:01)
They've got one in their pocket.
Dave Smith (1:05)
It's such a dumb thing to say. It's amazing that you could say something like that and be the governor of a major state.
Don't even know what the word computer is.
Joe Rogan (1:18)
Oh, they're not even familiar with the term?
Dave Smith (1:20)
They don't know these things.
Like, is she doing a survey? Ma'am, where did you get this data?
Joe Rogan (1:28)
Well, this is why Malcolm X said that there's nothing more racist than a white liberal.
Dave Smith (1:32)
Yes.
Joe Rogan (1:32)
Because of shit like this.
Dave Smith (1:34)
Well, they're weak.
Weak people are dangerous. Weak people that don't like strength are dangerous. They're dangerous because they want to suppress everything.
That's what's spooky about it. Weak people scare the shit out of me, more than even like totalitarians do sometimes. Because they eventually become totalitarian. You know, it's like the bullied become the bullies. You know, they want payback. But it's just weak liberal men are, to me, they're so detestable.
The weak ones. I mean, there's some intelligent, brilliant liberal men. They just, that's their philosophy. And I think if you're not exposed to the pitfalls of liberalism, if you don't see what happens to your state when those policies get enacted, specifically when things go south, if everything was going great, like, no one gave a shit who the mayor of Los Angeles was in 2015, because everything was great, you know? It was like there was no problems. Obama was president, the economy was doing good, we weren't at war, really, kinda we were, but it wasn't affecting us.
Joe Rogan (2:42)
Right, well, there's something on that topic of the weakness of modern liberals, because I was in, late last year, I was in San Diego, and I haven't been to, I mean, I've been to LA a couple times, but much less than I used to go when you were out there, and I haven't been to San Francisco in years. But I was in San Diego, and it's like, you've been there, it's like a beautiful city downtown, and where we were, it was a great comedy club, the American Comedy Company down there.
Dave Smith (3:12)
Great club.
Joe Rogan (3:13)
Great club, love that place.
And I'm like downtown, and we were going, me and my buddy Rob Bernstein, very funny comedian who was with me on the trip, we're like walking around in the great restaurants, really nice little, but then there's just blocks that are taken over by these homeless encampments. And right next to them, it's like all these young professionals and these nice restaurants in this nice city.
And I was just thinking about that. Like how are all of the men here so weak that they won't just kind of like put their foot down and be like, hey, no, we're not gonna put up with this. Like we're not just, it's almost like this like niceness has taken over to the point that you can't even defend this cool city that you have here. And I'm not saying like bash the homeless people with clubs or anything like that. I'm just saying like, why are you allowing this to happen? And it is like a profound weakness that what we'd feel like bad people if we were to say, we don't want junkies covered in shit right next to our outdoor dining. You're like, no, that would just be reasonable.
Dave Smith (4:17)
Well, what they need is a reasonable plan to help these people. If you really care, if you really care, you gotta do something. Like you can't just let them exist everywhere. And then in San Francisco, the most recent bizarre one is they're gonna give them alcohol.
