Fight Companion - December 3, 2016

Joe Rogan (0:00)

And we're live.

Eddie Bravo, Bryan Callen, Brendan Schaub, Eddie Bravo, the man who introduced me to marijuana. For him, I will forever be grateful.

Eddie Bravo (0:12)

For medical reasons.

Joe Rogan (0:13)

Medical reasons.

Brendan Schaub (0:14)

It's totally legal now, we don't even have to...

Eddie Bravo (0:19)

Free the roof.

SPEAKER_4 (0:20)

When is that going to affect?

Joe Rogan (0:21)

It's now, it was midnight that night, it's legal.

Brendan Schaub (0:25)

It changes that fast?

Joe Rogan (0:26)

Yeah, recreationally legal.

Eddie Bravo (0:29)

Wow, you have to be 18 or 21?

Joe Rogan (0:31)

I think you have to be 21

Bryan Callen (0:32)

But now with Attorney General Jeff Sessions, if he gets confirmed, can he override federal power?

Joe Rogan (0:39)

I do not think that he would go against the will of Trump. And I think that Trump, for all of his faults that you might find in him, he's a populist. And I think the best argument is that a guy like him, you can sort of influence him with the opinion of the country. And so it's kind of an interesting thing, because it might be one of the first times ever, like the opinion of the country might significantly influence some guy who's just completely foreign to the idea of politics.

SPEAKER_6 (1:06)

It's kind of a good thing, yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:07)

It's a lot of me.

SPEAKER_4 (1:08)

He says a lot of great shit, man.

Joe Rogan (1:10)

Yeah, like many things in life.

Bryan Callen (1:11)

It's very practical.

Joe Rogan (1:12)

This is not perfect. Nothing's perfect, like many things in life. But it might ultimately be a good thing to completely shake up the system. The thing that troubles people that oppose that idea is all the Wall Street guys he's bringing in, like right away. He's bringing in all these billionaires and Goldman Sachs.

Bryan Callen (1:29)

Well, he's bringing in a lot of business people who are practical as well, who understand the economy.

Joe Rogan (1:35)

We'll see. Listen, it might be good. That might be a good thing. I mean, that might be what they need to honestly figure out the economy. And isn't it... I mean, I'm not saying it's impossible.

I'm not saying it's definite, but isn't it possible that you could be a billionaire and still want to fix the fucked up economy, especially if you have everything you've ever wanted?

I mean, a lot of these guys, they do operate on that infinite growth idea. Like, they constantly want to get bigger yachts, bigger mansions, bigger houses. But it's also possible that a guy could be just an intelligent guy that did really well in business. Like even some of the things Trump said himself. He said, yeah, I took advantage of these loopholes, but let's get rid of them.

Bryan Callen (2:14)

They shouldn't think about what he did for a long time, which was he owned hotels, buildings, and wanted to give you the best experience possible.

A guy like that, he has a massive ego, of course, is going to do, he wants a legacy he can point to. He wants to go down as the greatest president. He wants to fix these problems. I can see that. My worry is that a guy like that is used to getting his way all the time. The nature of the presidency is one in which you don't get your way, where you have to compromise, where a lot of times you get very frustrated with the power you don't have. That's when I want to see how he reacts.

SPEAKER_6 (2:49)

He's failed a lot, though, in business.

He's filed for Chapter 11 multiple times. He's had a lot of failures.

Bryan Callen (2:55)

As all businessmen do.

SPEAKER_6 (2:56)

Most successful people have.

Bryan Callen (2:58)

I'm just saying, I wonder what's going to happen when he can't convince companies to do his bidding, when a lot of his policies maybe don't give his voter base the jobs they wanted because he can't implement the policies he wants. That's when it's going to be interesting.

SPEAKER_6 (3:15)

Do you think we'll see an assassination attempt?

Joe Rogan (3:17)

Jesus Christ, Brendan Schaub.

SPEAKER_6 (3:19)

What man?

Joe Rogan (3:20)

Trying to mix it up.

SPEAKER_6 (3:21)

You don't think it's going to happen?

Joe Rogan (3:23)

I don't think so.

SPEAKER_6 (3:23)

You guys are crazy. How many people are upset?

Joe Rogan (3:26)

It's possible. It's always possible.

Eddie Bravo (3:28)

What kind of people?

Joe Rogan (3:28)

People have tried to kill the president many times.

SPEAKER_6 (3:31)

Most of America because Hillary won the popular vote.
