Joe Rogan & Darryl Cooper are so ignorant they are unaware that Hitler did not call his followers 'Nazis' nor 'Fascists'. You can review their work & see that they have NEVER said, "Hitler did not call his followers 'Nazis' nor 'Fascists'." They are so ignorant they are unaware that Hitler's flag symbol represented "S means SOCIALIST" (a top discovery by Historian Dr. Rex Curry). Soviet socialists joined German socialists to start WW2 into Poland & onward. Stop misgendering Hitler.
Best Bob Murphy episode EVER!!! Well done Mr. Murphy, the adjustment of his voice to long suffering in one hour, while he's laughing internally. Oooph. Love that Owen. Become bears is the medium
Bob Your argumentation that you open with is completely wrong as is all your Covid arguments because they're based in little more than your personal, irrational Fear. You can claim all you want to be against government lockdowns and mask mandates but you and your irrational behavior and unreasoned fear are the basis for their existence. so long as you endorse their rational you endorse their existence. But to your poor understanding of the arguments, on the one hand the mask mandates are allegedly rationalized by the false beliefs of asymptomatic super spreaders, the very thing you also irrationally fear, and the idea that everybody or anybody has the virus and is highly contagious. This is why everyone "must wear masks." Neither of these have any basis in reality and in fact are as much proven wrong as is possible. Thus the idea that in a country wear they haven't had a new case in over 3 weeks yet the mask mandate is still in effect with extreme penalties is evidence that the mask
Math IS Something as Oxford Mathematician John Lennox points out. It's socking the willful ignorance and cognitive disconnect shown when naturalists assume only the natural, material world exists and they claim to prove it with the use of immaterial, eternal things that do not exist in the material world like Reason, Ideas, and Logic... and of course "Natural Laws" Like Mathematics To provide a naturalistic reason for Something instead of nothing you have to actually start with nothing, as in nothing at all. That is no reason no logic no math, no natural laws, no intelligence, no such thing as so-called natural selection, no elements no... , nothing exists. Then start from there
I think he actually sugar-coated it a bit but It's nice to see Bob finally awoke to the clear reality of what the SCAMdemic was all about- Ushering in the "Global Reset" and the NWO. The draconian lockdowns and absurd rules make it abundantly clear this was never about a virus. The mindless believers in the media propaganda living in terror were and still are being used
Why are grown men, with all of the real shit going on, worrying about fantasy entertainment for children?
damn straight thank god for Bob!
Just wondering if Bob is going to have this buffoon back on given everything that happened and all the disinformation she gave in the interview. One of the several shootings in CHAZ was by the armed security, which she denied existed, Spraying bullets into a vehicle. she also lied about the gardening and the signs begging for stuff
So what you're saying Murphy is... you're a proponent of the dollar-milkshake theory!
Had to stop at 20
left and right are useless constructs
as long 0l
strongly disagree with this episode, bob
Keep it up, mr. Murphy.
Great interviews and Murphy humor; keep it up!
