It [COVID-19 vaccine distribution] is a wartime scenario. When war is happening, you don't go home at 5 PM, and wake up at 9 AM, and clock out for an hour for lunch ... We've created incredible disincentives in the system. In fact, [Andrew] Cuomo put out a million-dollar fine if you get your vaccine out of line. Think about the disincentive that creates. Now, people are more scared about giving the vaccine to the wrong person than they are incentivized to give the vaccine to the right person.

There's a series of court challenges we can talk about. I think that they're unlikely to prevail—very, very unlikely. I think Joe Biden will be the next president. We can kind of compare this to Bush v. Gore from 2000, and if you want to compare Trump's case to Gore's case, it's weaker in every respect.

This guy [Moncef] Slaoui, who's the head of the Trump administration's effort to produce the vaccine, he actually slowed down the Moderna human trials by about three weeks because they weren't including enough minorities in the trial, and that cost them three weeks. If it weren't for those three weeks, Moderna's vaccine would have happened before Pfizer's, and it would have come out about a week before the election.

The thing I do think was unacceptable by President Biden and the Democrats is a level of demonization and the level of vitriol that they have pursued against President Trump—not as a one-off statement but as a campaign strategy. Again, they have said over and over again, 'This man has Hitler. This man is a fascist. This man is a threat to democracy. If he wins, it is the end of democracy.'

Does anyone at this point doubt that the reaction to COVID was more damaging to the country than COVID itself—both economically and also in terms of the restrictions that were imposed?

I don't think you go to school to learn as much as you go to school to socialize; you learn as a byproduct. Everybody socializes; not everybody learns. It's an enormously important & formative experience for a child to be around 15 or 20 other kids and to deal with all the adversity that comes with normal life of a child.

The lockdowns that we pursued during COVID—now everybody, I think, has sort of admitted that they're wrong. There's a video going around of Bill Gates, basically saying they didn't work. So, even the people who were advocating for them at the time now admit they were just tragically wrong. They basically cratered our economy, didn't stop the virus. Where's the comeuppance for the people who promoted those policies?

There are a lot of very, very reasonable Republicans and a lot of very reasonable Democrats. The fringes of both parties are functionally mentally retarded.

I think COVID-19 is going to be a distant memory by next summer. I think we'll have one to two quarters of transition, but I think that once the vaccine's widely available, plus the treatment and testing for the people who slip through the cracks... I tend to think things are going to snap back very fast and COVID-19 will just be this bad memory.

These people on this sort of far-left fringe... They do not want to have a debate. I think their views are very unpopular in the country, and that's why. So, they would rather censor the debate. They want to have the right to declare that the other side has engaged in disinformation.

It's ridiculous to somehow now blame this inflation on Putin... I don't think anyone's buying it. But it's not because of something Putin's doing over in Eastern Europe; it's because the Fed and Congress, the Administration, pumped $10 trillion.

The transformational part of Bitcoin is this idea that we could have non-fiat money ... There is a huge risk of currency debasement when the government is in control—and particularly when you have the world's reserve currency. There's just such an enormous temptation to print money to finance your budget.

We are going to get President Kamala Harris. She's the only alternative ... They realize they can't sidestep Kamala Harris without offending a major constituency in the Democratic party. Equally important, maybe even more important, they would lose roughly a billion dollars of contributions to the Biden/Harris campaign if neither Biden or Harris is running at the top of the ticket.

We know that kids are less susceptible to any sort of health risk from the virus [COVID-19], and it looks like there are a lot of studies showing that the virus is less transmissible through kids, especially kids under the age of 14.

The Biden staffers who are running Biden are now just running Harris.

I would still rather have Biden as Commander in Chief for the next six months than take the risk of putting Harris in there who's inexperienced, who's a lightweight, and who might want to prove how tough she is.

The people of this country need accountability. The once and likely future president came within millimeters, centimeters, of being assassinated, and this whole country could have been plunged into a whole different type of situation. We need answers to these questions.

If you disagree with whatever the current orthodoxy is, you get labeled as being this far-right lunatic. Rogan's in that camp, too. Rogan is an independent, curious guy. But again, if you dare to have a thought that's unconventional or interview the wrong person, then you're branded this way.

You take someone like Tim Walz, and he's out there, he's not really talking about ideas. I mean, every time he goes up there and speaks, it's like a pep talk. I mean, if I wanted to hire a guy to give the halftime speech to my team, he'd be the guy ... He's the guy for that, but he's not really talking about ideas.

I don't know if it was [Anthony] Fauci or someone that's closer to the operation [who] shared that they do think they can get 70% of Americans immunized [from COVID-19] by May [2021].

If Biden is not fit to run again, how is he fit to serve out the rest of his term as president?

You have this very intolerant movement on the far left that keeps, basically, kicking people out. I don't know how they're going to win many elections with this philosophy they have, but they're absolutely red pilling huge numbers of people.

The voters' choice is, do you want candidates that are not typically government operatives, or do you want candidates who have spent their whole career as government operatives? And that is effectively what the voters are going to be voting for.

If you look at the Asian countries that have controlled the virus [SARS-CoV-2], every single person wears a mask when they go out in public.

I actually feel very bad for the people that stormed the Capitol. I feel like these are folks that are on the fringes who just need a vessel, and Trump is a vessel ... He instigated them, and runs away.

I think it's ironic that an administration that was constantly accused of white supremacy probably lost the election because they slowed down this [COVID-19] vaccine trial group [Moderna's] to include more minorities.

The more substance [Kamal Harris'] campaign puts out, the more policies it reveals, the worse she does.

The more the public, the more we learn, about what [Kamal Harris] would do as president, the worse she does.

What Bitcoin offers is a different kind of currency where it's not backed by a government; it's backed by math; it's backed by encryption. You don't have to trust the government that there will only be 21 million bitcoin; it's in the code.

I think what history shows is the VP pick doesn't matter that much. People vote for what's happening at the top of the ticket.

I think that it's very likely that the Donald Trump that runs for president in 2024 is Donald Trump Jr.
