Why Schilling posts police-brutality videos (and why it matters for reform)
- JRJoe Rogan
Stitch 'em up. What's up, brother?
- JSJoe Schilling
How you doing, Joe?
- JRJoe Rogan
We're going ... We're, we're, we're rolling.
- JSJoe Schilling
Rolling.
- JRJoe Rogan
So, um, I've been talking about you a lot lately.
- JSJoe Schilling
I appreciate that.
- JRJoe Rogan
First of all, you know I love you.
- JSJoe Schilling
I love you too.
- JRJoe Rogan
But it's also, your Instagram page has become a highlight of police brutality. And, um, I know you take a lot of shit for it, but I think it's very important. And we were just talking about this. I think it's important not just for the people, but I think it's important for the police. I think it's important for police reform. I think they need to see, like, this is, this is what happens when you have shitty people doing this very fucking difficult job, and you got a lot of them.
- JSJoe Schilling
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- JSJoe Schilling
I think, you know, my thing was it just became ... A- everybody just always says, "Well, it's, it's only a few bad apples, a few bad apples, a few bad apples." And I'm like, "Well, I could just show you there's a lot of these bad apples." You know what I mean?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- JSJoe Schilling
And I think that, like you said, it's better for future police. But if they're so scared to do their job, it's because everyone hates them. It's because everybody hates them 'cause they're constantly being dickheads to everybody, that makes it worse for the good cops. You know what I mean?
- 1:06 – 5:02
Training gaps, jail culture, and the prison pipeline
- JRJoe Rogan
I, I do know what you mean. We, we ... I was talking about this the other day with Colion Noir, and we were saying that it's a job that is almost impossible to do for the average person. You need to be, like, a fucking Navy SEAL. You need to be, like, a person who's gone through some rigorous training and a person who really understands how to defuse situations. You need to be a person who knows how to keep your shit together, a person who knows how to respect people. They need a lot more training. Jocko Willink was talking about that.
- JSJoe Schilling
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
He said, "I think they should have 20% training." He goes, "They, they train for, like, you know, a couple of weeks."
- JSJoe Schilling
Like, nine weeks or something.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. "And then it's over. And then they're out there in the field." He goes, "I think-"
- JSJoe Schilling
You know what?
- JRJoe Rogan
"... 20% of their time should be spent training."
- JSJoe Schilling
I don't mean to interrupt you, but you know what's even worse than that, is it's not nine weeks and then they're in the field. In LA County, you wanna be a sheriff, it's nine weeks or however long. And if it's 10 weeks, I'm sorry, or 12 weeks, it's not that many weeks. Right out of the academy, you go straight to two years in the s- in the jail. They're like, oh, all the s- all the human interaction you've had before you went to the academy, now we're gonna surround you by the worst examples of everybody for two years. And then you're gonna go on the streets and try to be normal.
- JRJoe Rogan
You go to jails for two years?
- JSJoe Schilling
Two-year minimum.
- JRJoe Rogan
What?
- JSJoe Schilling
All, all sheriffs have to do-
- JRJoe Rogan
That's probably 'cause they just need people in the jails, right?
- JSJoe Schilling
Well, that goes back to what ... Uh. I mean, I feel like they, uh ... Oh, we got a long way to-
- JRJoe Rogan
There's a lot of shit going on there.
- JSJoe Schilling
We got a long way to go.
- JRJoe Rogan
There's a lot of shit going on there. First of all, there's private prisons, then there's drug laws. That's, that's ... Those are the two big ones. You wanna find out why the fucking prisons are filled up with people, those are two big ones right there. How many people are in jail for shit they should never be in jail for? Decisions that other people make with their own body that doesn't harm anybody other than themselves. You could buy alcohol, but you can't buy coke, you can't buy weed, you can't buy ...
- JSJoe Schilling
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Non-violent drug offenses is a giant percentage of the population.
- JSJoe Schilling
And then you said, like, you, you ... They go to jail for that because they made a mistake. But then they don't just get out of jail and they're free. They put you on probation, and they put these extended five years probation. Anything's a probation violation.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yep.
- JSJoe Schilling
And then they just keep you back into that same system, back into the same system-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yep.
- JSJoe Schilling
... back to the same system. You know, Father's Day, I was, uh, I was out back. I did, like, a post around my kids. I'm re- ... You know I'm really proud of my kids. So I did a post on Father's Day, then I was like, "Man, it's Father's Day, I'm gonna chill, I'ma smoke a joint, fucking crack a beer." It's like, 10:00 in the morning, I can do that on Father's Day, you know? And, uh, I'm sitting there and I'm r- I smoke a joint, and I'm like, "Oh, I'm gonna do a post for Ignite." Shout-out to Ignite. And, uh, I'm like ... It hit me, like, it's Father's Day. How many fathers are in prison right now, still, to this day, over something that I can do legally and post on the Instagram now?
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- JSJoe Schilling
It's insane.
- JRJoe Rogan
Not only that-
- JSJoe Schilling
It's insane.
- JRJoe Rogan
... in jail for something that's now an essential. Like, it's a, it-
- JSJoe Schilling
It is essential.
- 5:02 – 6:32
Defunding vs. demilitarizing: what policing should (and shouldn’t) buy
- JRJoe Rogan
And they don't, they don't get trained well enough. And this defunding the police shit is the wrong way to handle it. I know they think it's the right way to handle it. "Yeah, we're just ... These cops are bad, we'll just take away all the money." Oh, my God, you're gonna create fucking chaos.
- JSJoe Schilling
I don't know, I haven't looked into the defunding thing a lot. I've heard it ... heard about it a lot. But when you talk about defunding, let's talk about why do, why do these cops need fucking tanks in downtown? Why do these cops need all these AR-15s and full bullet ... Like, what is all ... What are we training for?
- JRJoe Rogan
We're sh- trying to scare people, and that's, that's all the-
- JSJoe Schilling
Why are we, why are we spending all of these tax dollars to scare people? And then-
- JRJoe Rogan
I'm gonna show you some shit that John Joseph sent me, my buddy John Joseph from The Cro-Mags. He's, um ... This is a show that people who have different points of view can be good friends, 'cause he's a good friend of mine. He wrote a book called Meat is for Pussies.
- JSJoe Schilling
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
So there you go, folks. We can all get along. We really can, you fucking idiots. (laughs)
- JSJoe Schilling
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
But any- but anyway, he, uh, he sent me some shit. His friend is, uh, he's working homicide in Harlem. And 21 people got shot the other day because nobody wants to be a cop there anymore. So it's fucking madness. Like, he said, "It is madness in New York City."... like, literally. Goddamn it, where can't I find it? Like, nobody wants to do the fucking job. He's like, "It's, it's crazy down there."
- JSJoe Schilling
They didn't wanna do the job before, and they don't wanna do the job now that the heat and the spotlight is on them-
- JRJoe Rogan
Both.
- JSJoe Schilling
... and how everybody's r- resigning. "Well, if I can't, if I can't do whatever I want and have absolute immunity, then I don't want the job anymore." He shouldn't have had the fucking job to begin with.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's a good point too.
- JSJoe Schilling
You know what I mean?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- JSJoe Schilling
Like, why did you have the job?
- 6:32 – 9:39
Looting, stand-down orders, and the dilemma of riot response
- JRJoe Rogan
All right, look at this. This is all the fucking people that got shot the other night. That's one day. This is what's ... That's what happens when there's no cops. When there's no cops and no one's policing anything, people just go HAM. I mean, that's what you saw in Santa Monica. Santa Monica is as white as Wonder Bread, right?
- JSJoe Schilling
It's crazy, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
And, and it was crazy during the looting. I mean crazy. The cops were told to stand down. They were told to stand around and watch. So, the whole thing of, you know, "Hey, w- you need the cops. When you call them, you need them. When shit goes crazy, the cops are there for you." Not that time. The sheriff actually told them to not do anything. So people were smashing windows and stealing things, and they're standing around and there's, there's videos of this one guy running around the street pointing guns at people, cars smashing into each other. It's like a movie.
- JSJoe Schilling
What was the point of telling them to stand down?
- JRJoe Rogan
I think they-
- JSJoe Schilling
Where, where did-
- JRJoe Rogan
... thought that people were gonna burn all this anger out, the George Floyd anger, and that somehow or another, like, let them do it and then we'll clean up the mess. It's just incompetent policing. It's incompetent leadership.
- JSJoe Schilling
So does the person that made that choice, do we vote for him? 'Cause everybody should probably-
- JRJoe Rogan
It's a girl.
- JSJoe Schilling
Oh, that, for her? Like, these are the kind of decisions that need to be made. I mean, you have to ask yourself, why would they ... What was the purpose in telling them that?
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, this is a liberal, uh, progressive perspective. They, this is, uh, something that they've tried in a bunch of different cities. They also ... De Blasio did the same thing in New York City. The cops were literally told to stand down. And they, the cops are standing there, and they're do- they're doing nothing while people are ... This fucking video's ... The videos from New York City are the nuttiest, 'cause people are filming them from their apartments.
- JSJoe Schilling
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
So they're looking down on the street while cars are running people over and people are smashing into windows and running in and stealing stuff. Like, all these kids just wanting free shit. Nothing to do with black lives for the most part.
- JSJoe Schilling
No, nothing.
- JRJoe Rogan
A lot of them were just opportunists looking for stealing, and then also caught up in the chaos of the smashing windows and stealing stuff, and then the cops aren't doing anything and they're young, and they've been out of work for three fucking months. And everybody's-
- JSJoe Schilling
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
... broke. It's just so many factors compounded together, but Giuliani was actually on Fox News talking about there's a, a particular, like, political perspective on how to deal with looting and riots in these particular situations, and the idea is to let it burn out. Let these people burn it out of their system, but that it doesn't work. He's like, "This is an outdated style of, of policing that they, they figured out doesn't work in like the '60s and '70s."
- JSJoe Schilling
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
"But there's a lot of progressive people that are in p- positions of leadership that still think it's a good idea."
- JSJoe Schilling
It seems like a terrible idea, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, nobody knows really what the fuck to do when everything goes haywire. It's like theories. Like, what's the theo- like, what do you do? Well, you better protect lives, but don't worry about property, 'cause everything's gone nuts. And then the other perspective is send in the fucking National Guard, and everybody's like, "Don't do that, that's the military." So, I don't know what the correct perspective is. And thank God I'm not a fucking governor or a mayor. That's when you know things are fucked, if someone like me ever gets to a position like that.
- JSJoe Schilling
Yeah, I don't know, part of me thinks that the National Guard would be service, you know, off-duty servicemen or however that works, that are from this city or from the area, would probably do a lot better job and get more respect than the police that are driving around shooting kids with pepper balls and doing all this crazy shit we're seeing everywhere.
- 9:39 – 14:33
Graphic examples and the ‘code of silence’ problem
- JRJoe Rogan
You would say that, but one of the most egregious videos of police brutality was the National Guard in Minnesota where those girls were on their porch, I don't know if you saw that one.
- JSJoe Schilling
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
And they're, they're wa- these National Guard dickheads are walking down the street like, "Get inside! Get inside!"
- JSJoe Schilling
I did see that one.
- JRJoe Rogan
And they go, "Light them up!" And they're shooting rubber bullets at these fucking girls in their house.
- JSJoe Schilling
It's insane.
- JRJoe Rogan
They're on their porch.
- JSJoe Schilling
It's insane.
- JRJoe Rogan
These girls got hit.
- JSJoe Schilling
It's insane.
- JRJoe Rogan
And she's like, "Ow, fuck!" And she's like inside her house. And then a bunch of people have lost eyes. There's a bunch of people who've lost eyes during this.
- JSJoe Schilling
Oh, yeah. There's so many ... And everyone now, everyone's just tagging me in videos and it, it's like-
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, yeah.
- JSJoe Schilling
... overwhelming. That kid that got shot in the face, other one lost his eye, like-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, mel- multiple-
- JSJoe Schilling
You know?
- JRJoe Rogan
... people have lost their eye.
- JSJoe Schilling
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Journalists have lost their eyes.
- JSJoe Schilling
The video I posted of that guy, they're like all squared up, like at a ... He's like walking to him, talking shit or whatever-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes.
- JSJoe Schilling
... and he's like smoking a cigarette. And they mace him in the face and he turns around like a fucking G, like hits the cigarette like what a dick, turns back and they shoot him in the face point blank with like a, I think it's a-
- JRJoe Rogan
Canister.
- JSJoe Schilling
... tear gas canister.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- JSJoe Schilling
To the face.
- JRJoe Rogan
In the face. I saw it. I mean, it ex- explodes in his face. You know, who knows what happened to that guy.
- JSJoe Schilling
You know?
- JRJoe Rogan
But it's ... Yeah, that is not serving or protecting.
- JSJoe Schilling
On any level.
- 14:33 – 16:54
Mental health, accountability, and rethinking who should be a cop
- JRJoe Rogan
You're giving people guns and power that... The, the psychological ramifications of that job must be crazy. If you're day in, day out seeing gunshots and fucking suicides and car accidents and stabbings and rape and all day long you're seeing the worst aspects of humanity, that- your mind gets fucked. I've talked to a lot of cops that are good guys, and they'll tell you, like, "The job is hard, man." Like, there's days where you literally d- you would... You think about taking your own life so you don't have to see anything anymore. They say that.
- JSJoe Schilling
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
I've heard that from cops, and these are not cops that are abusive. They're cops that are just like, "Man, I'm telling you." It's like, you get overwhelmed. Like, you can only walk up on so many suicides, so many shotgun wounds to the face. You can only walk up on so many of those and keep your sanity.
- JSJoe Schilling
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
And, you know, the other thing that Jocko Willink was saying was that it's, it's the same thing in the teams. Like, psychologically some people can handle anything, and some people cannot handle anything. Some people, it's just one or two things and they're off tilt. They just can't.
- JSJoe Schilling
Oh, for sure.
- JRJoe Rogan
And, but some people, they can go back home to their family and be a good dad and be a good husband and be a good neighbor and be a good person and just, you know, just absorb it, and just, uh, you know, go, "Well, you know, it's horrible, but hey, that's life."
- JSJoe Schilling
That's tough. Then that's another area that needs to be reformed is mental health with officers-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- JSJoe Schilling
... or whatever. But we can't just ignore the whole, the whole thing and say, "Well, the- you know, it's t- it's a tough job."
- JRJoe Rogan
No. No, we can't. We-
- JSJoe Schilling
It's like the Chris Rock thing about, like, you can't be a, a sometimes a good pilot-
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- JSJoe Schilling
... and be a pilot. You can't just crash into things. You can't-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- JSJoe Schilling
... go without-
- JRJoe Rogan
Can't be a bad apple.
- JSJoe Schilling
... with- without accountability.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- JSJoe Schilling
You know? Which, uh, off-topic, but like, that's how I feel about judges. Like, how many fights can you screw up-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes.
- JSJoe Schilling
... before there's an accountability there?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes. Yes.
- JSJoe Schilling
You know what I mean?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. No, that's a real good point. Yeah. I mean, it's like basically every job, you know. Um, it's just some jobs have much higher consequences, and cops, uh, it's like the highest. It's one of the highest. Uh, cops, soldiers is a, a few with the, the highest consequences of your mistakes.
- JSJoe Schilling
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
You know? And, uh-
- JSJoe Schilling
And zero accountability.
- JRJoe Rogan
Very little. Very little.
- JSJoe Schilling
They only do... Cops don't get- don't go to regular court. They get, uh, in- internal investigations.
- 16:54 – 31:22
High-profile cases and nonviolent-call alternatives (Breonna Taylor, hotel shooting, Wendy’s)
- JRJoe Rogan
That woman, what is her name? B- Brianna Taylor? Is that her name? The woman who got shot in her home. Um, and then, uh, pshh, they, they... No knock warrant, kicked down the wrong door, um, shot-
- JSJoe Schilling
Shot through the window. She was playing with a v- with her son or her little brother or somebody on the- in the bed with a video game. And then they charged her boyfriend or husband with-
- JRJoe Rogan
Attempted murder.
- JSJoe Schilling
... attempted murder for shooting back at the person who's shooting through the window with- they didn't even tell them they were cops.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right. And he's-
- JSJoe Schilling
Insane.
- JRJoe Rogan
... I mean, they have this guy cuffed in a fucking jumpsuit going to jail. It's crazy. It's... And the, and the cop who did that only got fired. That's it.
- JSJoe Schilling
There was another one where the guy got did-
- JRJoe Rogan
And just now, just now got fired, by the way. That, that happened quite a while ago.
- JSJoe Schilling
Uh, the, the one I posted of the guy in the hotel where they called the-
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh.
- JSJoe Schilling
... he had a pellet gun because he was, like, a out-of-town exterminator-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- JSJoe Schilling
... and he's with his girlfriend in a hotel room, and they call the cops. The cops come and they're, like, lined up down the hall with an AR15 screaming ridiculous orders.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes. Crawl.
- JSJoe Schilling
Ridiculous orders.
- JRJoe Rogan
Crawl over here.
- JSJoe Schilling
Hands behind your back. Crawl while you have- scratch your head and your temple but don't fucking move or I'll kill you.
- JRJoe Rogan
Don't reach back. They kept- the guy kept losing his pants 'cause he doesn't have a belt on. He's crying. He's like, "Please, please." And they just fucking gun him down while he's bellied down.
- JSJoe Schilling
So they already knew what they wanted to do and they're waiting for him to give the reason.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, exactly.
- JSJoe Schilling
It's not hard to tell that guy is not a threat, just like it's not hard to tell that that woman... Like, the one where the- they throw the woman down and she jumps... The cop, the cop jumps on her back and puts her in a rear naked choke. What do you do when you argue with your wife at home or your sister or your girlfriend? Like, when... At what point does your-... where do you get the right to just jump to that conclusion?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- JSJoe Schilling
Just because you're a cop? That woman's not a threat to you.
- JRJoe Rogan
No, no.
- JSJoe Schilling
That old man that I posted yesterday, they body slammed h- you know, it's just ...
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't know if you saw the one where there was a-
- JSJoe Schilling
So much shit.
- JRJoe Rogan
... a guy who got pulled over going five miles an hour over the speed limit, and the officer's threatening to pepper spray him because he's filming.
- JSJoe Schilling
Oh, yeah.
- 31:22 – 37:53
Corruption, agent provocateurs, and who benefits from chaos
- JRJoe Rogan
Did you ever see the documentary, The Seven Five?
- JSJoe Schilling
I didn't.
- JRJoe Rogan
You should see it. It's fucking crazy.
- JSJoe Schilling
What is it, The Seven Five?
- JRJoe Rogan
The Seven Five. It is all about, uh, this guy. It's this guy, Mike Dowd, who's out now, who, uh, became a corrupt police officer. Just joined the force because he wanted to be a cop. And then right away, was introduced to the fact that this whole fucking thing is bad. It's all corrupt. They're all bad cops. They're all doing fucked up shit. I'm pretty sure they pushed a guy out of a window, like one of the first days that he got there. Someone got killed. And they would just say, "This is how it works." And then cut to many years later, he's robbing drug dealers and selling drugs, and they're organizing hits on people. Like, it's a crazy fucking movie. And it's from his words and his former partner's words, and it just details how everything went completely sideways. And it just shows you, like imagine if you were one of those guys and that's your job. You're a fucking cop, and you're in this precinct with all these other corrupt cops and you're like, "Well, this is what we do. So this is what we do. We're just corrupt."
- JSJoe Schilling
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
Fuck.
- JSJoe Schilling
It's like the mob mentality with the protests, right? You get a good protest or the people protesting a real thing, people that are having a peaceful march doing that stuff, and then you compound... They have been locked in their house for two months. Everybody's broke. They're losing their businesses.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- JSJoe Schilling
Shit's getting fucking weird. They're just going crazy. And, but they're, they're there in the protest. Now you have some asshole come up with a hammer and break a bunch of windows and start creating the drama. It, it causes a mob mentality, right?
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- JSJoe Schilling
It's like people are smart, but mop- mobs are stupid, right?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- JSJoe Schilling
Where a person is smart, people are stupid. That same thing happened to the cops, right? You're on a team. One guy starts doing shit like, "Pff, bro, just shoot him in the face with a beanbag. No one will see it." "Ah, he fucking got one. Hell yeah. Right on. Pass me the gun." Boom. And they're all doing the same shit.
- JRJoe Rogan
There's definitely a lot of that.
- JSJoe Schilling
And then they're protecting themselves.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. There's definitely a lot of that. It's, uh, there's also, there was some crazy shit where it was pretty much proven that some cops were the ones who were breaking windows in Minneapolis.
- JSJoe Schilling
Oh yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Did you see that?
- JSJoe Schilling
There was one in New York where they were sawing, uh, sawing the like, the rollup door open on a, uh, a jewelry store.
- JRJoe Rogan
A cop was doing it?
- JSJoe Schilling
Yeah, they had... There's video. I'll find the video for you.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh.
- JSJoe Schilling
There was cops-
- JRJoe Rogan
The police were in that video.
- JSJoe Schilling
... with like, with like a... With like a... fucking, what do they call it? Like a miter saw or whatever, cutting the rollup door on the jewelry shop.
- NANarrator
Uh, I think I saw that one. Uh, it was, if I remember. I might be incorrect. Uh, there was people... They got a call and there was people trapped in there, and they like had to get them out.
- JSJoe Schilling
Huh.
- NANarrator
Somebody had been robbing it or something like that.
- JSJoe Schilling
Right.
- 37:53 – 42:48
COVID, media mistrust, and whether society overreacted
- JRJoe Rogan
Goddamn, man. It's just, this, this whole COVID and then the George Floyd protests and then the riots and the looting and everything like that really highlights how fragile our, our civilization is. Really.
- JSJoe Schilling
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Really shows everybody.
- JSJoe Schilling
Yeah. And how easily we are controlled through the media.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yep.
- JSJoe Schilling
Easily, we're controlled. I, I try not to watch it anymore because, like, it's y- you're just getting brainwashed and once you realize you're just being brainwashed, like they just control how you feel about everything, they control... You hate this guy, change the other channel. Now, fuck, that guy's a good guy. This guy's... Fuck this guy. And it's just-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- JSJoe Schilling
... all misinformation.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yep.
- JSJoe Schilling
The WHO and Fauci one day, the-
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- JSJoe Schilling
... "Don't do masks. You don't need masks." The next day, "Oh, you need masks. Como needs 50,000, uh-"
- JRJoe Rogan
Ventilators?
- JSJoe Schilling
"Respir- Ventera- ventilators and put them all in the nursing homes and all the nurse people die."
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, he-
- JSJoe Schilling
But let's not talk about that.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, that's the Cuomo nursing home thing is a giant scandal, man.
- JSJoe Schilling
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
He let those people go back to the nursing homes and they infected and killed thousands of people because of that and-
- JSJoe Schilling
And so his numbers go straight up, you know? And then, like, why are we incentivizing... If we're even going to the CO- I mean, why are we incentivizing hospitals to say that there were COVID deaths? What is the purpose of that? It makes no sense.
- JRJoe Rogan
I think the idea was because this was a new disease and they required more fu- uh, like, uh, financially it's more difficult to treat those people, that they allocated more money towards people that had COVID.
- JSJoe Schilling
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
But when you do that, you do incentivize people to mark deaths as COVID.
- JSJoe Schilling
Yeah, there's people who get shot and they were like, "Well, he had COVID when he died."
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- JSJoe Schilling
But did, did they test him for COVID? Well, it doesn't matter, I just wrote it on there.
- JRJoe Rogan
But there are also-
- JSJoe Schilling
And then the numbers come out, you know?
- JRJoe Rogan
Apparently, there have also been a bunch of people that died and weren't COVID tested that they do believe died because of complications for COVID too. So the idea is that it could even possibly balance it out. They don't know. But there are a l- a lot of people that have, like... There, here's a deceptive one that I've read. It was really fucked up. They were talking about this kid who was, uh, I think he was 17 who died from COVID, and they said, uh, he, he was, uh, uh, they said he was healthy. No under- no other, uh, health issues, they said. But then when you read the article deeper, it turns out he had diabetes. He had type I diabetes and he was 400 pounds. And it's like, wait a minute. The- that's not no issues. These articles are full of shit and they write those articles just so-
- JSJoe Schilling
Yeah.

Aliens, stand-up comedy shutdowns, and Rogan’s COVID-era frustrations
- JRJoe Rogan
What happened to murder hornets? They came and went real quick.
- JSJoe Schilling
S-
- JRJoe Rogan
I was really worried about them.
- JSJoe Schilling
Aliens, bro.
- JRJoe Rogan
They're like, "Fuck."
- JSJoe Schilling
I'll put it out there. Aliens will come.
- JRJoe Rogan
The aliens?
- JSJoe Schilling
Aliens are coming before, before the election.
- JRJoe Rogan
The alien thing is interesting because there's quite a few, like, real, legitimate studies an- including black ops studies that are going on right now on aliens. Particularity after the David Fravor, uh, incident, which was a Air Force incident that was off the coast of, uh, San Diego, that was all documented in terms of the speed of the aircraft, the fact that they were tracking it, the fact that it blocked their, um, their tracking systems so it, it was an active object blocking their tractive, tracking systems. And it also went from something like right above the surface of the water to 60,000 feet in a matter of a second. Like, whatever the fuck that thing is, it violates all laws of propulsion. And all those, uh, Air Force guys were saying, "Yeah, we've been following these things. They've been down here for the last few weeks. Like, every now and then we'll see one and they'll hover above the water and dunk down into the water." They don't know what the fuck they were. And, you know, this David Fravor guy who's like a rock solid, buttoned down military man, he is not a bullshit artist, he's not a guy who needs a lot of attention, he came on the podcast and relayed his experiences with this thing. And there's not just one of 'em and they behave very similarly. They, they've, they had 'em on the East Coast. I'm doing, I'm doing a terrible job of giving all the facts about how they operate and how they, how they move, but they defy all the n- known laws of propulsion. They have no idea what they are, they have no idea where they're coming from, they don't know what they're doing. But these things behave in some really almost supernatural way in terms of, like, what we know about physics.
- JSJoe Schilling
And this is, like, unclassified now or this is recent, like happening-
- JRJoe Rogan
Well the government's come out and said, I mean, they, they've, they've openly said there's a real issue. "Trump says he's heard 'very interesting things about Roswell', site of an alleged UFO event. President was asked by-" Yeah, that was nonsense though. Did you see that interview? First of all, the, the whole interview was weird. Like Donald Trump Jr is interviewing Donald Trump and he's, he's not even doing it like he's his dad, you know? Like if I was sitting there with my dad I'd be like, "All right dude, tell me what's up. What's going on with the aliens, Pops?"
- JSJoe Schilling
Yeah. Seriously, "So what's going on with the aliens?"
- JRJoe Rogan
"What have you got back there, dude?" And also I woulda asked that question four fucking years ago, day one. I'd be like, "Come on, dude."
- JSJoe Schilling
As soon as, as soon as you walked in.
- JRJoe Rogan
"Aliens." Yeah.
- JSJoe Schilling
"Let's talk aliens."
- JRJoe Rogan
I would run for president just to find out. Just to win and fight.
- JSJoe Schilling
I think you should run for president, Joe.
- JRJoe Rogan
Fuck that, dude. Fuck.
- JSJoe Schilling
You should absolutely run for president.
- JRJoe Rogan
Listen, listen, listen. I could cancel for all Joey Diaz conversations. (laughs)
- JSJoe Schilling
You could, you could do, like, the, uh, presidential addresses and just do a stand-up bit the whole time, every time.
- JRJoe Rogan
That would, it would have to be that. It would have to be like some seriousness and some, uh, like, some ... But, you know, life is so preposterous. And it's more preposterous now than it's ever been before.
- JSJoe Schilling
It's nuts.
- JRJoe Rogan
And th- and meanwhile-
- JSJoe Schilling
It's just nuts.
- JRJoe Rogan
... there's no stand-up. The only person doing stand-up right now is Ben ... There's a few guys that just started doing shows. I'm actually in Houston this weekend for the first time in three months. I haven't done any stand-up. Chappelle's doing regular shows in Ohio.
- JSJoe Schilling
Really?
- JRJoe Rogan
He's got a outside wedding, like, uh, pavilion and he's got it set up where everybody's socially distanced. They all wear masks in the crowd, they have Chappelle masks. So they'll have, like, the C on their mask, there in the crowd.
- JSJoe Schilling
That's cool.
- 52:49 – 58:25
Supplements, recovery hacks, and getting older (CBD, glutathione, NAD, breathing)
- JSJoe Schilling
Budweiser.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, it's Budweiser.
- JSJoe Schilling
It's cold, delicious-
- JRJoe Rogan
Ooh, yes.
- JSJoe Schilling
... but heavy for you, my friend.
- JRJoe Rogan
What a good man. He brings his own beer. You fucking stud.
- JSJoe Schilling
I come with all kinds of gifts.
- JRJoe Rogan
Um-
- JSJoe Schilling
Oh, I brought you some Ignite stuff too.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, nice.
- JSJoe Schilling
Dan Senses-
- JRJoe Rogan
Shout out to Dan Bilzerian.
- JSJoe Schilling
Hey, hey.
- JRJoe Rogan
I'm told he's writing a book.
- JSJoe Schilling
He, he, I think he did write his book.
- JRJoe Rogan
Look at that. There you go.
- JSJoe Schilling
Is that-
- JRJoe Rogan
This is dog stuff, right?
- JSJoe Schilling
Yeah, that one's for, uh, Marshall.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, yay! He'll love it.
- JSJoe Schilling
My dog's been using it too. It's, uh, really good stuff.
- JRJoe Rogan
Okay, cool.
- JSJoe Schilling
You know Dan, everything's the best.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. No, I'm sure. He's, uh, it's funny how he's jumped balls deep into weed and CBD.
- JSJoe Schilling
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, right. Look at that, dog CBD. It even says it on there. I fucked up with CBDMT and I took some of their dog CBD. It was delicious peanut butter flavor.
- JSJoe Schilling
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
I think it's fine though. I feel like-
- JSJoe Schilling
I'm sure. Why not? What's the difference?
- JRJoe Rogan
I mean, it's just CBD.
- 58:25 – 1:16:40
From policing back to fighting: weight cutting, GOAT debates, and iconic fighters
- JRJoe Rogan
Do you take any, uh, electrolytes? Like when you're training?
- JSJoe Schilling
Not really.
- JRJoe Rogan
Dude, I just started over the last year.
- JSJoe Schilling
Take a little water-
- JRJoe Rogan
I started taking one of my sponsors, they sent me this, uh, liquid IV stuff. Electrolytes make a big fucking difference.
- JSJoe Schilling
Oh, really?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, it makes a big difference in how quickly you hydrate, it makes a big difference in stopping cramps. Stops all the cramps.
- JSJoe Schilling
Well, I heard that being dehydrate- any level of dehydration, like, reduces athletic output by, like, 20% or something.
- JRJoe Rogan
Which is one of the things-
- JSJoe Schilling
A lot.
- JRJoe Rogan
... I've been fucking sounding the alarm on forever.
- JSJoe Schilling
Forever.
- JRJoe Rogan
We gotta stop weight cutting.
- JSJoe Schilling
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
Guys.
- JSJoe Schilling
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
I want, I want people to fight healthy and I want them to fight for as long as they can. Look, DC had kidney failure before, and that's why he didn't get into the Olympics at one point.
- JSJoe Schilling
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Kidney failure.
- JSJoe Schilling
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
Daniel Cormier.
- JSJoe Schilling
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
You know, he's had real problems from cutting weight, man. It's fucking terrible for you. That's why he fights so good at heavyweight.
- JSJoe Schilling
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
You know, when he's at heavyweight, he doesn't have to deal with any of that bullshit. He can just eat and train and just recover. When you're dehydrating yourself to that extent, the extent that some guy... Like Paulo Costa-
- JSJoe Schilling
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
... that motherfucker. Chael Sonnen had a video he had on YouTube. I, I urge you to go to Chael Sen- Sonnen's YouTube and listen to him talk about it. He was watching Paulo Costa, he said Paulo Costa is 230 plus pounds. He cuts down to 185 for a fight. That's insane. That's insane.
- JSJoe Schilling
How low does he get before it's just water?
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't know, man. You gotta see the video of him now.
- JSJoe Schilling
He looks-
