Law on the Joe Rogan Experience

“built built into the laws like bill Bill C-16 in Canada now, and the same in the laws in New York City that govern the use of these gender pronouns. Built into…”

Peterson claims Bill C-16 and New York City pronoun laws have written into them the idea that identity has no biological foundation and is purely subjective.

“because the university regarded that as against the university policies and also against the Ontario Human Rights Code, so also illegal. And as my employers, t…”

Peterson claims that refusing to use preferred gender pronouns is against the Ontario Human Rights Code and therefore illegal, and that his employer is legally responsible for everything he says under that legislation.

“So what's happening is the law is already such that not using one of these made-up pronouns is a crime, whereas using a racial epithet isn't.”

Peterson claims Canadian law already makes failing to use alternative gender pronouns a crime while using a racial epithet is not a crime.

“Yes. They wouldn't have changed the damn criminal. They put it in the hate speech category and altered the criminal code. It's as simple as that.”

Peterson claims Bill C-16 altered Canada's Criminal Code by adding gender identity to the hate-speech category, arguing this proves the law has real legal teeth.

“The military is banned from using tear gas on the battlefield, but police can use it on crowds at home.”

Rogan claims tear gas is banned for military use in warfare under international law (citing the Geneva Convention) yet remains legal for domestic police use on protesters.

“And the Mar-a-Lago property is not worth $18 million. Isn't it like 18 acres?”

“when you're an agent for the Food and Drug Administration, I don't know how, I mean, all of these things have missions. He was, you know, he was an agent for t…”

Armstrong states that Jeff Novitzky was an IRS agent during the BALCO/Barry Bonds investigation and questions why doping in cycling was an FDA issue, implying the agency roles were reversed from what actually happened.

“this foreign intelligence surveillance court that the government says authorized these programs 15 different times was overruled by the first open courts to lo…”

Snowden claims the NSA violated its own surveillance rules 2,776 times in a single year and that federal courts overruled a FISA court that had authorized the programs on 15 separate occasions.

“our government has now announced that the judiciary in Canada will be selected. If you're going to be a candidate to be a judge, you have to produce a dossier …”

Peterson claims the Canadian government now requires judicial candidates to submit a dossier specifying their racial, ethnic, and religious identities, and that committee members must undergo mandatory anti-bias training before serving.

“was Congress passed an emergency law in 2007 called the Protect America Act, which should have been our first indication this is a very bad thing... and what i…”

Snowden claims the 2007 Protect America Act retroactively immunized telecom companies from lawsuits over illegally handing over customer records to the government.

“When the trans teenagers came after me when I opposed Bill C-16 in Canada on compelled speech grounds, I spent quite a bit”

Peterson claims he opposed Canada's Bill C-16 specifically on the grounds that it compelled speech.

“the Espionage Act that the government uses against whistleblowers, meaning broadly here the sources of journalism, is fairly unique in the legal system in that…”

Snowden claims the Espionage Act functions as a strict liability crime that bars juries from considering a defendant's motive, making it effectively treated as worse than murder in court.

“the only way to have the courts review the legality of the programs is to establish the programs exist. But the programs are classified, so you can't establish…”

Snowden claims disclosing classified surveillance program evidence is an Espionage Act felony punishable by 10 years in prison per count, and that every significant public-interest journalism source has been charged under this same statute since Daniel Ellsberg.

“let's call it iran because i believe that's the the big focus right now with the trump administration iran it's my understanding it's still punishable by death…”

Tim Pool claims that being LGBT is currently punishable by death in Iran.

“certainly in New York and the employment EEOC has already ruled on that with regards to businesses for the US.”

Peterson claims the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has already ruled that businesses must use invented gender pronouns.

“There's a lot of tax problems. He's he he definitely did some uncool things, and then there's the Burisma thing. But the crazy thing about his pardon is it sta…”

Rogan claims Biden's pardon of Hunter Biden retroactively covers everything from 2011 (when Hunter joined Burisma's board) through the date of the pardon, and separately states Biden has pardoned over 8,000 people, more than any president ever.

“if something devastating happens to you in any other form you can file for bankruptcy but you never escape your student loans no matter what happens to you”

Yang claims that unlike other debts, student loans can never be discharged in bankruptcy no matter what happens to the borrower.

“Right, so they won $100 million. Yeah, that's a lot of money.”

Rogan states that the U.S. government/whistleblower plaintiffs won a $100 million judgment against Armstrong in the federal fraud lawsuit over U.S. Postal Service sponsorship.
