#950 - Abby Martin

Joe Rogan (0:00)

I don't even think their nuclear bombs work.

Abby Martin (0:03)

It's all posture-ing.

Joe Rogan (0:04)

Probably, right?

Abby Martin (0:05)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:05)

Do, do, do, Abby Martin, we're live.

Abby Martin (0:08)

We're live?

Joe Rogan (0:09)

Yeah.

You have a Doom shirt on, powerful street cred with the kids there. With the Doom shirt.

Abby Martin (0:15)

Hey, going back to the Wolfenstein Doom days.

Joe Rogan (0:17)

Fuck yeah, old school id software.

Abby Martin (0:19)

Hell yeah, man.

Joe Rogan (0:20)

I played that game, that game was awesome.

Abby Martin (0:22)

I miss Doom.

Joe Rogan (0:22)

I do too, the new ones are pretty badass.

Abby Martin (0:25)

I never saw it.

Joe Rogan (0:25)

I did, it was terrible.

Abby Martin (0:27)

Was it the first person shooter?

Joe Rogan (0:28)

It was so bad. No, no, no, there was a first person shooter movie, like something Harry or something like that. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. What was that called?

Abby Martin (0:36)

Hardcore Harry, that was nuts.

Joe Rogan (0:38)

Henry, was it Henry?

Abby Martin (0:39)

Henry.

Joe Rogan (0:39)

Was it good?

Abby Martin (0:40)

That was nuts, it really just felt like you were watching a video game the whole time. It was absolutely insane.

Joe Rogan (0:44)

But was it good?

Abby Martin (0:45)

I don't know if it was. It was very entertaining.

Joe Rogan (0:49)

Well, it's good. Yeah, Doom. It was with The Rock, that's right, The Rock when he had hair. Wow.

That's right, old school. God, that was a terrible movie. It was so dumb.

Abby Martin (1:01)

Why does it look like that? I remember Doom being super red and orange, and this is blue, come on now.

Joe Rogan (1:07)

Who the hell's Carl Urban? Why is he listed first? Yeah, because nobody knew who The Rock was back then.

Abby Martin (1:11)

Who the hell is Carl Urban?

Joe Rogan (1:12)

Exactly, that's how old that movie was. What else has Carl Urban been in?

Abby Martin (1:17)

Dude, I just had a Twitter argument with Chelsea Clinton last night.

SPEAKER_3 (1:20)

Oh no, you did not.

Abby Martin (1:22)

It's like these people don't understand, never respond to someone who's like way less than you. Basically, I called her parents war criminals, and she was like, yeah, you know.

I should have listened more during the 2003 Iraq war to the anti-war activists, but she initially called people who were protesting the Afghanistan war and the AUMF anti-American. And so she was like, yeah, because there was a story that came out that said Chelsea Clinton actually, with American flags and all these things, went and disrupted an anti-war protest. What? After 9-11. Yeah, like a group of like patriots, including Chelsea Clinton.

Probably like 22 or something, I mean, I don't know. Maybe younger. So then people were calling her out and being like, mother like daughter, because there's stories of Hillary Clinton really working hard to quell the protests, the Vietnam War protests on campus and stuff, as the president of the young Republicans club.

Joe Rogan (2:20)

She was the president of the young, really? Is this pre or post Kent State?

Abby Martin (2:24)

This, ooh, good question. Really good question.

Joe Rogan (2:28)

Because that was when the whole, the brakes swam down it.

Abby Martin (2:31)

It'd be hard to defend it after that, right?

After people are shot. But yeah, so Chelsea actually responded to me. I was floored, because I was like, your dad killed 500,000 babies in Iraq with the sanctions, and your mom voted for the Iraq War. I was like, why don't you protest them? And she was like, you know, I was like, what?

Joe Rogan (2:47)

What did she say?

Abby Martin (2:48)

She just said, she was like, you know, I wasn't really, she was like, don't think that people protesting the Afghanistan were anti-American. And she was like, you know, 140 characters limiting. I was like, do you see that I just called your parents war criminals and you're actually responding to them?

Joe Rogan (3:04)

Just put the blinders on.

Abby Martin (3:06)

Oh my God. And then she was like, I was talking about the Americans who denounce like, you know, that America's an imperialist warmonger. I was like, it is, the country's an imperialist warmongering country that's killed millions of people. You usurp the democratic processes of dozens of countries. And the world actually thinks that America is the number one threat to global peace.

So I actually agree with the Americans you denounce Chelsea.

It was nuts. So that was a highlight of the day.
