Joe Rogan (0:06)

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

Duncan Trussell (0:12)

Oh shit, I didn't know we had bells.

Joe Rogan (0:15)

Yeah bro, we got bells. It's probably super annoying to people listening.

Duncan Trussell (0:19)

It's fucking Christmas. The war on Christmas must end.

Joe Rogan (0:24)

How dare we say Merry Christmas?

Duncan Trussell (0:25)

How dare you say that? It offends me.

Joe Rogan (0:29)

Did you ever see Kamala Harris do that when she had the speech?

Duncan Trussell (0:32)

She said how dare you say fucking Christmas?

SPEAKER_5 (0:34)

You've never seen it?

Duncan Trussell (0:35)

No.

Joe Rogan (0:35)

Oh my God. Okay, let's start with this because it's so crazy. I don't understand the context. So I wish I could be charitable and say, well, there's probably a context where this makes sense.

Duncan Trussell (0:47)

Yeah, Satan is the Lord of the Earth is the context.

Joe Rogan (0:51)

But you know, you see something and it's only a 15 second clip and you go like, okay, let me just be the nicest person possible. Like what could be the reason why you would say, how dare we say Merry Christmas?

Duncan Trussell (1:02)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:03)

Unless you're playing a character.

Duncan Trussell (1:04)

Right.

Joe Rogan (1:05)

Unless she's on stage doing a play. She's like, I want to read from my college play where I was the Grinch.

Duncan Trussell (1:12)

Can you imagine saying that? Like it seems like a nightmare that you would wake up from.

Joe Rogan (1:16)

It says, Harris fumed at Americans saying Merry Christmas before illegal migrants were protected in resurfaced clips.

Duncan Trussell (1:24)

Oh, you're not allowed to say it until there's absolute peace and harmony on the planet. Then we could start saying it again.

Joe Rogan (1:28)

This is so scolding and weird.

Jamie Vernon (1:30)

Only when they cleared that vet did we give them DACA status. And now we're talking about taking it away. It is morally wrong.

Duncan Trussell (1:41)

No, thank you. I didn't know.

Jamie Vernon (1:42)

And when we all sing happy tunes and sing Merry Christmas and wish each other Merry Christmas, these children are not going to have a Merry Christmas. How dare we speak Merry Christmas? How dare we?

They will not have a Merry Christmas.

Duncan Trussell (2:01)

Who are you to say that?

Jamie Vernon (2:02)

You don't know if they will be here in a matter of days, weeks and months. Since September 5th, over 12,000 have lost their status.

Joe Rogan (2:15)

Here's why you can't be charitable. Because it's just a bad perspective. It's just a bad perspective.

Duncan Trussell (2:23)

Charitable? What do you mean?

Joe Rogan (2:24)

Because if you wanted to like, what? Does anything she's saying make sense? You, they're not mutually exclusive, all right? You can't, it's like celebrating joy and happiness and some people suffering.

It's like, you can't say no one is going to suffer anywhere before I celebrate. Because that's crazy. Now you're taking in the entire Earth's consciousness and all of its decisions as to whether or not you will or will not be happy. Like, you and I didn't force anybody to work in the cobalt mines.

Duncan Trussell (3:02)

Not yet.

Joe Rogan (3:02)

But we buy these fucking phones. We buy these fucking phones. And we know, we know that electronics that have cobalt in them were probably pulled out of the ground by slaves. Should we never celebrate anything again until those people are free?

Duncan Trussell (3:18)

No. Never.

Joe Rogan (3:19)

Never.

Duncan Trussell (3:20)

We should just be shitting in our hands, rubbing in our faces, whipping our backs until the whole world experiences a simultaneous orgasm. Then, Merry Christmas to you.

Joe Rogan (3:30)

But if you were a drone, so let's just say they really are intergalactic beings. And you're watching all of our hypocrisy and our scolding of each other and these like untested perspectives just jizzed out into the world. And you're looking at all this craziness, like the manufacturing of almost everything that we have that comes from overseas is probably from horrible conditions. We've just accepted that. Yeah, like if aliens were watching this to be like, who are they bullshitting? Who are they bullshitting each other? They bullshitting themselves, right? They're trying to figure out how many genders there are.

They're trying to decide like who is the most protective status who you can't discuss about anything.

Duncan Trussell (4:17)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (4:17)

Currently, that's illegal immigrants.
