ANDREW SCHULZ (GUEST): But that's the — that's the political game, man.
JOE ROGAN (HOST): It's a stupid fucking game.
SCHULZ: Bro, it is.
ROGAN: And it's a stupid game to base your entire personality and identity about.
SCHULZ: That is the —
ROGAN: That's the weird part.
SCHULZ: And people do.
ROGAN: Yeah. Oh, it's everything.
SCHULZ: People do.
ROGAN: And they're, they're in a life or death struggle every four years. Like, settle down.
...
Well, the people that have an argument about that are Mexican immigrants. Especially the children of Mexican immigrants who, maybe their family, maybe they're illegal because they were born here, but their parents aren't, and they're realizing their parents might get kicked out. Like, that's scary.
SCHULZ: It's fucked up.
ROGAN: That's scary.
SCHULZ: Yeah, I don't like the ICE stuff at all.
ROGAN: And that is — it's not just bad, it's bad for them, and I don't know how they don't realize that this is the worst look ever.
SCHULZ: It's also a bad look for ICE.
ROGAN: Yeah.
SCHULZ: Like, ICE itself is a very important institution. Like, you want to make sure that you have a government program that can enforce the borders and also, like, remove people that are here illegally, especially people that are doing criminal activity.
Like, this is an institution that we shouldn't malign. This is one that we should be proud of. This is a good thing. But then when every video coming out is, like, seeing these people being, like, torn from their families and all this kind of stuff, it's like, yeah, you're gonna have a lot of animosity towards these groups.
And I know we're having this conversation right now and there's already people getting a video, well, this is what you guys wanted. And this is like —
ROGAN: No.
SCHULZ: One of the things I actually talked to Trump about is, like, how can we not do this? Like, what can we do?
How do we have these people who've been living here for fucking 10 years, and they're paying taxes, like, why don't we give them a pathway to citizenship? And I specifically was like, yo, you own hotels. You've employed these people. You know they're good people.
Like, if you, like, we're entertainers. Like, we work in fucking restaurants. You know what I mean? Like, we know — we work with these people, and you see them grinding. Like, I don't know. Yeah. That's a very frustrating thing.
