Joe Rogan Experience #1106 - Colion Noir

1. 0:00 – 15:00

   ... about 1/4 of…

   1. CNColion Noir0:00

      ... about 1/4 of that.

   2. JRJoe Rogan0:04

      How do I pronounce your name?

   3. CNColion Noir0:05

      Kolyon Noir.

   4. JRJoe Rogan0:06

      Kolyon?

   5. CNColion Noir0:07

      Yeah.

   6. JRJoe Rogan0:07

      Okay.

   7. CNColion Noir0:08

      Yeah. Now, there's a conspiracy out there-

   8. JRJoe Rogan0:11

      Oh.

   9. CNColion Noir0:11

      ... that-

   10. JRJoe Rogan0:11

       Okay.

   11. CNColion Noir0:11

       ... um, I made this name up.

   12. JRJoe Rogan0:13

       Yeah. Well, we'll talk about that.

   13. CNColion Noir0:14

       Yeah. (laughs)

   14. JRJoe Rogan0:14

       We'll talk about that. We're, we're live already? Yeah, yeah. How'd you do that so quickly? Yeah, you weren't looking last- Oh, you're a wizard.

   15. CNColion Noir0:19

       (laughs)

   16. JRJoe Rogan0:20

       Uh, what's the conspiracy about your... Your name is Kolyon Noir.

   17. CNColion Noir0:24

       Yeah.

   18. JRJoe Rogan0:24

       What's the conspiracy about your name?

   19. CNColion Noir0:25

       That I made it up to hide who I really was.

   20. JRJoe Rogan0:28

       Oh, some CIA-type shit.

   21. CNColion Noir0:29

       And I'm... Yeah, like-

   22. JRJoe Rogan0:29

       Hmm.

   23. CNColion Noir0:29

       ... like, everybody gets to have, like, pseudonyms except for me. When you're talking about guns, you don't get to have pseudonyms.

   24. JRJoe Rogan0:34

       Did you have a, a different name?

   25. CNColion Noir0:36

       Yeah, my name's Collins.

   26. JRJoe Rogan0:38

       Oh.

   27. CNColion Noir0:39

       Yeah. (laughs)

   28. JRJoe Rogan0:39

       Okay. So, you did change your name?

   29. CNColion Noir0:41

       Yeah, I did.

   30. JRJoe Rogan0:41

       But there's a conspiracy behind you changing your name?
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   Well, you're in a…

   1. CNColion Noir15:00

      that I am now in the space that I'm in.

   2. JRJoe Rogan15:02

      Well, you're in a weird space-

   3. CNColion Noir15:03

      Yeah.

   4. JRJoe Rogan15:03

      ... because you're in the space of defending guns.

   5. CNColion Noir15:06

      Mm-hmm.

   6. JRJoe Rogan15:06

      You know?

   7. CNColion Noir15:06

      And I'm Black.

   8. JRJoe Rogan15:07

      Yeah.

   9. CNColion Noir15:08

      And I'm relatively young.

   10. JRJoe Rogan15:10

       Yeah. There's a lot going on there.

   11. CNColion Noir15:11

       And I wear a hat.

   12. JRJoe Rogan15:12

       And you're a lawyer.

   13. CNColion Noir15:13

       And I we-... Well, they tend to-

   14. JRJoe Rogan15:14

       Yeah.

   15. CNColion Noir15:14

       ... disregard that. (laughs)

   16. JRJoe Rogan15:14

       Well, they should probably pay attention. That's it.

   17. CNColion Noir15:16

       Well, it doesn't matter, because I have, I'm, I'm doing... I'm advocating also with certain three letters behind me-

   18. JRJoe Rogan15:23

       Mm-hmm.

   19. CNColion Noir15:23

       ... that they automatically assume is the devil for-

   20. JRJoe Rogan15:25

       Now, how does the NRA feel about you? Do you know? I mean, do you have conversations with them? Are they saying, "Good job"? Are they, are they pleased? Or...

   21. CNColion Noir15:32

       Oh, I mean, as far as I can tell, they are. I'm s-

   22. JRJoe Rogan15:34

       Yeah.

   23. CNColion Noir15:34

       I mean, um, uh, we still have the relationship we have. It's, it's very much a very symbiotic relationship.

   24. JRJoe Rogan15:38

       But it's a weird one right now-

   25. CNColion Noir15:39

       Uh-huh.

   26. JRJoe Rogan15:39

       ... because it's like, this is what I hear from the NRA.

   27. CNColion Noir15:42

       Mm-hmm.

   28. JRJoe Rogan15:42

       I s- I hear "Colion" and then I hear Ted Nugent. (laughs)

   29. CNColion Noir15:45

       (laughs)

   30. JRJoe Rogan15:48

       Those are, those are the two that I hear.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   I don't mean minority…

   1. CNColion Noir30:00

      an ideal world, if we could minority report it and figure it out, who's-

   2. JRJoe Rogan30:03

      I don't mean minority report, I mean just like check to see if they're on menta- mental health medication.

   3. CNColion Noir30:07

      But I mean, we, we currently ha- well see, here's the thing, there's a slippery slope with that too.

   4. JRJoe Rogan30:11

      Mm-hmm.

   5. CNColion Noir30:11

      So what, what constitutes somebody being on mental health medication that's prohibitive?

   6. JRJoe Rogan30:15

      Right.

   7. CNColion Noir30:15

      What if I, what if I deal with anxiety if I'm on Xans?... prescribed.

   8. JRJoe Rogan30:20

      Mm-hmm.

   9. CNColion Noir30:20

      Does that prevent me from owning a firearm?

   10. JRJoe Rogan30:21

       It's a good question. In California, for the longest time, they were trying to make it if you had a medical marijuana card-

   11. CNColion Noir30:27

       Mm-hmm.

   12. JRJoe Rogan30:27

       ... you couldn't own a firearm. I think they were doing that federally. I think tha- that was a federal thing, that if you had a legal medical marijuana card, that they were trying to prevent people... They were trying to prevent people from... They were trying to-

   13. CNColion Noir30:38

       Yeah.

   14. JRJoe Rogan30:38

       ... they were trying to cripple the medical marijuana-

   15. CNColion Noir30:40

       It's a fact. Got you.

   16. JRJoe Rogan30:40

       ... industry, because they knew that people wanted guns.

   17. CNColion Noir30:42

       'Cause, 'cause to be honest, it's, it's intellectually dishonest. If I can, if I can go to the store with a gun on me and buy alcohol-

   18. JRJoe Rogan30:50

       Right.

   19. CNColion Noir30:51

       ... like, and you know me, I'm not-

   20. JRJoe Rogan30:51

       Right.

   21. CNColion Noir30:51

       ... I don't even smoke.

   22. JRJoe Rogan30:53

       Right.

   23. CNColion Noir30:53

       Right? But l- let's just be honest about it, like, alcohol, weed. I mean, I, I think u- utilizing that as a prohibitive means to own a firearm-

   24. JRJoe Rogan31:02

       Mm-hmm.

   25. CNColion Noir31:02

       ... I think is, I think is-

   26. JRJoe Rogan31:04

       That is true. But if you were under the influence, some of the shit I got in this studio-

   27. CNColion Noir31:09

       Well, no, no, no.

   28. JRJoe Rogan31:10

       ... and then you'd be super paranoid-

   29. CNColion Noir31:11

       Well, here's the thing-

   30. JRJoe Rogan31:12

       ... pulling onto a gun.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   But don't you think…

   1. CNColion Noir45:00

      decisions.

   2. JRJoe Rogan45:00

      But don't you think it's preaching to the choir, that show?

   3. CNColion Noir45:02

      What do you mean, that one?

   4. JRJoe Rogan45:03

      That show, yeah. John Oliver's show, I think. If I had to guess how many people who are watching that show are l- left-wing leaning-

   5. CNColion Noir45:10

      Yeah.

   6. JRJoe Rogan45:10

      ... uh, Democratic-leaning-

   7. CNColion Noir45:12

      Mm-hmm.

   8. JRJoe Rogan45:12

      ... Liberal-leaning, I would say it's a giant percentage.

   9. CNColion Noir45:15

      Here's the problem, though. The number of people who come to me and say, "I don't, I don't deal with the NRA because they're racist, and they're a bunch of white rednecks."

   10. JRJoe Rogan45:25

       Who says that?

   11. CNColion Noir45:26

       Oh, God, I get it all the time.

   12. JRJoe Rogan45:28

       Well, uh-

   13. CNColion Noir45:28

       I get it all the time.

   14. JRJoe Rogan45:28

       What is the evidence that they point to? They just assume-

   15. CNColion Noir45:30

       They point to-

   16. JRJoe Rogan45:31

       ... that they're racist?

   17. CNColion Noir45:31

       They ... Yeah. They ... That's the ... That's just it.

   18. JRJoe Rogan45:33

       Yeah.

   19. CNColion Noir45:34

       'Cause in their at- ... In their attempts to just make a show, right?

   20. JRJoe Rogan45:37

       Uh-huh.

   21. CNColion Noir45:37

       And I agree with you wholeheartedly. I absolutely agree with you. But we can't undermine how influential that show is at crafting people's thoughts about particular issues-

   22. JRJoe Rogan45:47

       Mm-hmm.

   23. CNColion Noir45:47

       ... and ideologies within this country.

   24. JRJoe Rogan45:48

       Right.

   25. CNColion Noir45:49

       Right? And so, I stand back and I'm like, man, this is dangerous. Because to me, the Second Amendment is incredibly important. Right? I don't ... D- do you know what the funny thing is? I thought the monologue was hilarious. The monologue-

   26. JRJoe Rogan45:59

       He's a funny dude.

   27. CNColion Noir46:00

       The monologue. Eh.

   28. JRJoe Rogan46:01

       (laughs)

   29. CNColion Noir46:01

       The monologue was hilarious. I'll, I'll give ... I'll give him the monologue. The monologue was ... The monologue was funny.

   30. JRJoe Rogan46:06

       Well, then, then isn't he a funny dude-
5. 1:00:00 – 1:03:13

   Well, it's also the…

   1. CNColion Noir1:00:00

      or foreign, they're like, "Oh, you think your little stupid guns are gonna be able to defend against a... against the government?" I'm like, "Well then, why don't you get me the guns that the government has then?" And then they get quiet, because they realize the contradiction in what they're stating.

   2. JRJoe Rogan1:00:13

      Well, it's also the government... when you say the government, like, protect us against the government, we are the government. The, uh, the government's filled with people.

   3. CNColion Noir1:00:20

      Yeah.

   4. JRJoe Rogan1:00:21

      Like, the cops are us. The problem is, is this separation of us. If you gave me a red button and said, "Would I... uh, could I end all senseless violence by hitting that button?" I would say yes.

   5. CNColion Noir1:00:31

      (gun fires) Mm-hmm.

   6. JRJoe Rogan1:00:31

      And then when people say it's a guns problem, I say, "Do you know that London passed New York City for the first time since 1800 in homicides?" And they did it with fucking knives.

   7. CNColion Noir1:00:40

      Knives.

   8. JRJoe Rogan1:00:40

      With knives, to the point where that goofball mayor of London, that dork, on his Twitter page said, "There's no reason to carry a knife. If you get caught carrying a knife, you'll be prosecuted under the fullest extent of the law."

   9. CNColion Noir1:00:55

      But this is the ex-

   10. JRJoe Rogan1:00:56

       A fucking knife.

   11. CNColion Noir1:00:56

       But-

   12. JRJoe Rogan1:00:57

       I've got a knife. Oh, I don't have it on me right now.

   13. CNColion Noir1:00:58

       This is, this-

   14. JRJoe Rogan1:00:59

       But I have a knife on me all the time.

   15. CNColion Noir1:01:00

       This is the same country that they utilize as the shining example of what-

   16. JRJoe Rogan1:01:03

       Yeah.

   17. CNColion Noir1:01:03

       ... we should be doing in America.

   18. JRJoe Rogan1:01:04

       Exactly. And they, they have more murders in London from knives.

   19. CNColion Noir1:01:08

       And, and here's the funny thing about that too, you know. Like, and so they have an uptick in acid attacks.I'm sorry, I think I'd rather be shot.

   20. JRJoe Rogan1:01:15

       Yeah, that acid attack thing is rough.

   21. CNColion Noir1:01:16

       Acid's crucial.

   22. JRJoe Rogan1:01:17

       Well, that's a, that's a thing that people are doing to ex-wives and shit too.

   23. CNColion Noir1:01:21

       Yeah, that's, that's-

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:01:22

       It is... That is dark.

   25. CNColion Noir1:01:24

       (sighs)

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:01:24

       That is some-

   27. CNColion Noir1:01:24

       Yeah.

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:01:24

       ... inhuman shit. But it's also, w- all of this stuff, it comes down to like what makes a fully developed person. Instead of looking at what's available to a fully developed person-

   29. CNColion Noir1:01:35

       Mm-hmm.

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:01:36

       ... and what would allow a fully developed person to commit horrific crimes, what turns a person into that? We should be looking at from the root-
