‘Good God’: Joe Rogan Horrified By Guest’s ‘F*cking Tirade’ Over Bill Gates Foundation

Joe Rogan was horrified as he listened to a wildlife biologist guest go on a “f*cking tirade” against billionaire Bill Gates’s charity work, accusing Gates of destroying a freshwater fishery in Africa.

Forrest Galante joined The Joe Rogan Experience this week and warned Rogan he was going to go on a “f*cking tirade” after talk about The Gates Foundation, a charity founded by Bill and Melinda Gates.

Galante accused the Gates Foundation of ruining a freshwater fishery in the Cahora Bassa Delta, all in the name of wiping out malaria.

“Do you know what they did fucking in the Cahora Bassa Delta with their mosquito nets?” Galante asked Rogan.

Rogan told his guest, who has been on the podcast before, that he was unaware, and Galante warned him a tirade was on its way.

“Dude, I’m gonna go on a f*cking tirade here,” Galante said.

“Please do,” Rogan said.

Galante explained that a freshwater fishery was destroyed because people were using mosquito nets to catch fish.

He said:

I totally pirated your thing. I’m sorry, but I’m gonna go on a f*cking rant here. They gave all these people living in the Cahora Bassa Delta, which is the breadbasket of the Zambezi Valley, meaning, like, where more fish are born. It’s a nursery for fish. Right. Not just there, but this is a good micro example. They gave millions of mosquito nets out to all these people to ‘avoid malaria.’ Guess what the people who are starving to death did with their mosquito nets? They fished with them. They fished with them. Mosquito net has a hole that is so small that a mosquito can’t get through. So guess what?

These mosquito nets now indiscriminately catch tiny baby fish in areas like Cahora Bassa, where the fish go to breed and reproduce and populate. So now all of a sudden, you have thousands and thousands of people that have been handed nets that have been living one way for hundreds of thousands of years.

The Gates Foundation has posted positively about their efforts to combat malaria with mosquito nets.

Galante continued his “tirade” as Rogan grew more and more shocked.

They don’t give a sh*t about malaria. They have their own way of dealing with malaria. They sit in smoky huts at night, they sleep with a campfire. Everything else, yes, they still get malaria, some of them, but they deal with it their own way. Bill Melinda Gates Foundation come in, hand out millions of mosquito nets, absolutely collapse the entire population of fish that feed millions of people.

Because these people just take the nets and fish all the baby fish out so that those fish don’t grow up to make substantial protein sources. So now these wonderful ‘philanthropists’ that have given out millions of nets, have destroyed an ecosystem, crashed a fish population and created widespread hunger for people that otherwise had plenty of resources, all because they were trying to ‘help’ with their mosquito nets.

Rogan groaned hearing Galante’s story, letting out an “Oh, God.”

Galante called the situation a “f*cking disaster.”

“It’s just, like, It’s a f*cking disaster, dude. They’ve taken such a rich and important part of Africa, one of the most abundant freshwater fisheries in the world, and destroyed it because they’re ‘helping’ by handing out mosquito nets,” he said.

“Good God,” Rogan responded.

“I know. Sorry,” Galante said. “I told you I’d go on a rant, but it’s like it’s so bad what’s happened over there, and they’re still giving out mosquito nets by the way. And you literally watch these guys line up take a mosquito net and it never goes in their house. It goes straight to catching fish that are this big for them to eat.”
