JOE ROGAN (HOST): And so what's the response to that? Well, now you have this insane policy where they're going to Home Depot and rounding people up, and it's kinda scary, you know? And people that are Americans citizens —

MIKE VECCHIONE (GUEST): Because people have been here a long time and, you know?

ROGAN: Yeah. Yeah. 

VECCHIONE: And then you're rounding people up. It is. It is scary, but it's like a response to, you know, a massive influx.

ROGAN: Yeah. It's an overcorrection. And it's also like they have a mandate, I think, of like 3,000 people a day they wanna deport. Just, you know, you got a bunch of people that are totally innocent. They're gonna get caught up and they have been. Right. You know? They have been. A lot of people that have green cards. A lot of people that are supposed to be over here. And then they're kicking students out that, like, write articles they don't like. 

VECCHIONE: Yeah, that's nuts. 

ROGAN: Fucking crazy. Fucking — isn't a university supposed to be a place where someone's allowed to express themselves and have opinions? 

VECCHIONE: Nonviolently? 

ROGAN: Yeah. It's a — they're writing something down, and they're not calling for violence either. And they're getting challenged, and that's supposed to be how it happens. You get challenged, smarter people have better arguments, or your argument stands.
