JOE ROGAN (HOST): This was my thing when people weren't upset about ICE people in the street with masks on and no identification. I'm like, this sets a crazy precedent. Yeah, I understand you want the undocumented criminals out of the country. I agree. However —
ARI SHAFFIR (GUEST): Death squads in the street.
ROGAN: You're setting a precedent for militarized people with seven weeks training to be walking around with fucking weapons of war and flak jackets with no ID and masks on. That's all I'm saying. Like, this is a slippery fucking slope you're going down.
MARK NORMAND (GUEST): Yeah. It's no bueno.
ROGAN: But then also, they wouldn't have to be there like that if there wasn't these — there wouldn't be any conflict if it wasn't organized paid for protests. They paid people to protest. They paid people, because they had the fucking, all that fraud in Minnesota.
