Joe Rogan Podcast, check it out!
The Joe Rogan Experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day!
joe rogan
We're up for your first ever podcast channel.
gina carano
Oh my goodness.
What if I don't have anything to say?
joe rogan
You do, I guarantee you do.
How did you avoid doing podcasts for this long?
gina carano
Just saying no.
joe rogan
Really?
gina carano
I just tell people I kind of just don't know what's ever going to come out of my mouth.
So it's going to get...
I have no idea what we're going to talk about today.
joe rogan
Well, that's good.
It's always better that way.
I mean, we can talk about anything.
We can talk about...
Well, there was a moment where you were going to come back.
You're the OG. Oh.
gina carano
Well, I mean...
joe rogan
No, you're the OG. Thank you.
In terms of women's MMA, who the fuck is more OG than you?
You're the original star.
gina carano
Well, not MMA, but like Lucia Ryker.
joe rogan
Yeah, for sure.
And Muay Thai, yeah.
And in boxing, yeah.
And then there's Christy Martin and a lot of other folks.
gina carano
And then there was the Debbie Purcells and Aaron- Anne Wolf.
joe rogan
There's been a lot of women combat sports athletes, but in terms of MMA, you're the OG. Well, I appreciate that coming from you.
gina carano
That means a lot.
unidentified
What was it like back then?
joe rogan
Because you were the OG when it was weird to be fighting, and it was weird to be fighting as a woman.
gina carano
Yeah.
It was just, you would go into the gym, and it was just, well, we started at Master Totties, so there was a couple girls there that really liked to fight, but they liked to more look good and the attention that fighting came from.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
gina carano
Yeah.
It wasn't all about the fight.
joe rogan
There's a lot of that now, right?
gina carano
Now it's like that.
But it was like that then, too.
I don't know, a lot of the...
What's her name?
joe rogan
Aaron...
gina carano
God.
Is Debbie Purcell and Aaron something?
joe rogan
Aaron Tohil.
gina carano
Tohil.
joe rogan
Yes.
gina carano
So they were actually the people, I would say, that started way before...
joe rogan
Yeah, Aaron, she's been around a long time.
gina carano
And Cyborg was doing it as well.
joe rogan
Tyra LaRosa.
gina carano
Tara LaRosa.
joe rogan
Old school.
gina carano
Yeah.
I know.
joe rogan
The early days.
gina carano
We're old.
joe rogan
Yeah, we're old.
But the early days were interesting because there was a lot of people disparaging women fighting.
Yeah.
Including Dana White.
gina carano
Yeah.
Including most of the guys I trained with, which I love them.
But even Mark Beecher, he was like, no, get out of here.
I'm not going to train any women.
Okay, fine.
I'll train you, Gina.
It'll be cool.
And now that's all he does.
You know, even, let's say, the Diaz boys.
Like, I remember fighting on the same card as Nick Diaz.
And he was sitting next to me.
And, of course, I was just nervous because I absolutely adored him.
Still do.
I think he's amazing.
I just haven't seen him in, like, a decade.
But he was like, you know, we're sitting there before our fight having our post, you know, weigh-in dinner.
And he was like, you know, I gotta tell you, I don't really like women fighting.
You can obviously say it like that.
He's like, you know, I don't like what you do.
I don't like women fighting.
And I was like...
I was like, that's okay.
Maybe you're just a little old-fashioned.
And I was like, do you think my dad likes this?
Do you think anybody in my family likes me fighting?
And he was like, no, old-fashioned.
Okay, so I'm just old-fashioned?
And I'm like, yeah, you just might be a little old-fashioned.
And then he was pulling out my chair and opening my door.
joe rogan
He took it to the next level.
gina carano
Yeah, he was so sweet.
I was like, he just needed to be told it's okay.
You don't have to like it.
It's old-fashioned.
joe rogan
Yeah, some people get disturbed watching women get bloodied up.
That's a big one for some folks.
gina carano
Yeah.
Was it a thing for you?
joe rogan
It feels different.
Obviously, I'm a big fan of women fighting.
But when I watch a big cut on a woman, it feels different.
Like if I was like Yuri Prochaska in that fight with Glover Teixeira had this giant cut over his eyebrow.
It was a massive cut.
But it didn't bother me.
But if that was you, if it was a woman, it was Valentina Shevchenko or something like that, I'd be like, Jesus, that's a big cut.
gina carano
And honestly, in my perspective, that's sweet.
That's nice.
joe rogan
That's nice that you don't like to see women get cut out.
gina carano
Yeah, I think that's a really nice...
I don't know why women or anybody is trying to get rid of that.
joe rogan
Well, I get it.
But I mean, look, if you're going to land elbows, it is a part of the sport.
You're going to get cut up.
It's like people are going to get cut.
It's just part of the game.
But, you know, if you want to say, like, here's a good example.
Like the last UFC where it was Zhang Weili versus Ioannion Jacek and then Valentina Shevchenko versus Jesus Christ.
unidentified
Why am I not remembering her name?
gina carano
Is it the Chinese girl?
joe rogan
No, no, no.
Valentina Shevchenko had a really tough fight.
Talia Santos.
Which was an amazing fight.
Split decision.
Which could have gone either way.
And a lot of people were like, oh, this card sucks.
I'm like, because of those two fights?
You think the card sucks because two super ultra-competitive women fights that were insane and one of them was a spinning back fist knockout?
Do you have a problem with that?
gina carano
Yeah, right?
I don't understand where people get off on the internet judging.
When I'm in a building or at a fight when people are booing, it boils my blood.
It's like, you get in there and do that.
Until you've done that, then you can talk about it.
joe rogan
It's just like, do you boo like that at baseball?
Because baseball, at its most exciting, is not as exciting as two people clinching.
gina carano
Yeah, maybe the fight fans just need to get a couple more, I don't know, hot dogs or beers and just sit back and enjoy a little bit.
joe rogan
Well, it's casuals, unfortunately.
It's a lot of people that don't appreciate what's going on or how hard it is.
Look, I can understand some fights where people get bored and they boo, especially in comparison to some other fights.
gina carano
I'm never gonna be the one booing.
joe rogan
No.
I wouldn't boo either, but, you know, there's some times where it's just like, oh, Jesus Christ.
gina carano
And you're at all of them, so...
joe rogan
I'm out of a lot of them.
This past one was the first one I did.
gina carano
What do you think happens there, like, with, like, the, you know, when they're just, you know, nobody's trying to even, like, make, they're just stuttering in front of each other.
joe rogan
Like the Rose Nam Yunus fight?
Like that last fight?
gina carano
Yeah.
Which I love her, by the way.
joe rogan
I do, too.
Yeah, I do too.
I love Carla Esparza too.
I don't get it.
I don't know.
I'm a big fan of Pat Berry.
I love him.
But he was saying something different than the rest of the corner was saying.
gina carano
It's like kind of when you're going to spar and then you just don't really want to be there or something and you're not trying to, I don't know, it just isn't flowing the chemistries off or something.
joe rogan
I think maybe the game plan was make Karla frustrated and take big risks.
Because she has to win, right?
She has to go after Rose to win.
But there was like, by the time we were in like round three, I was having this conversation with Cormier.
I was like, who fucking knows who won?
Who knows who's winning this?
Because this is, nothing's happening.
Like it's, when nothing's happening, this is my number one problem with scoring.
The way we have scoring with MMA. Either one of those rounds could be a 10-9 round or a round where someone beats someone pretty cleanly and lands a lot of shots could also be a 10-9 round.
That doesn't make any sense.
That's a flaw in the scoring system.
gina carano
Time to update the program.
joe rogan
Yeah, we need a better system.
We don't need a boxing system.
We need something that shouldn't have anything to do with 10-9.
There should be a bunch of factors, like volume, the amount of strikes, submissions, takedowns, all the damage, all that shit added up, and it should be a totally different...
I mean, we should have scores like 57, 96 for one round, 120 for another round, that kind of shit.
Because that's more indicative of what's actually happening in a fight than 10-9.
gina carano
Yeah, that's awesome.
joe rogan
That's how it should be.
gina carano
So make it happen.
How do we make that happen?
joe rogan
Jesus Christ, I don't know.
unidentified
I've been preaching this for years and everyone's like, bro, they already have fixed the system.
joe rogan
Bro, you don't understand the system.
Like, I understand the system as it stands.
What I'm saying is the system as it stands fucking sucks.
gina carano
Yeah, we can say that over a multitude of subjects as well.
We need to get better systems.
joe rogan
Yeah, not just for MMA, right?
It's interesting though, for you to watch these women become superstars now, like when you watch Rhonda, because Rhonda was, it was you and then it was Rhonda, and you most certainly paved the way for someone like Rhonda.
What was that like?
gina carano
Um, I don't know.
For me, at the time, it was just, okay, so this, I was going to a college for psychology.
And I'd show up to, you know, the college classes in full-on pajamas.
I didn't care.
I wasn't paying attention.
I didn't want to be there.
I just, I felt like this is the thing you do after high school, right?
You go to college and...
I don't really think that it did me any favors because I'm a type of person that, you know, like idle hands.
If I'm not interested in doing this, then I'll get into trouble.
And so then we started getting into trouble.
And I guess what happened was Kevin Ross, who you had on your show, and I've known him for 21 years now.
We're like that couple that's always on and off and everybody's like, my family just stopped asking.
They're Like, are you together now, this Christmas?
So he decided one night to, he'd always wanted to do mixed martial arts, and he always loved Bruce Lee.
And we were drinking, of course, these 40 ounces of Old English, which, I don't know if you tried one lately.
joe rogan
Old English makes you reckless.
gina carano
And it's just like, this much of it hurts.
unidentified
Yeah.
gina carano
We used to drink full.
I used to get to like a one and a half.
joe rogan
That is strong stuff.
gina carano
Yeah.
I tried it and I was like, I cannot believe I used to drink this poison.
But his dad had asked him, you know, well, I'll sponsor you for your first couple lessons if you promise me to put that down.
And that night, he put it down and he went and started training with a guy called Master Toddy.
He's this Thai man who, of course, came from Thailand, but he went over to the UK, taught over there, and then he came to the States and taught people like Angela Parr and John Wayne Parr, who came before me as well, Kit Cope and all of them.
And Kevin walked into the right gym and learned Muay Thai from the very authentic Thai style.
And then I would go in there.
And Master Chan, who I think is still in Las Vegas, I would walk in and I'm still drinking and partying and everything.
He was like, oh baby, you're fat.
You need to lose weight.
unidentified
And I was like...
gina carano
No, that didn't come from my dad.
That came from this Thai man that has nothing to gain in my life but to be like, hey, you need to work out.
And so I immediately signed up for 20 lessons with him.
joe rogan
So he fat shamed you in your training.
gina carano
Yeah, yeah.
I don't know if you know this.
Thais are really good at that.
unidentified
Are they really?
gina carano
Yeah, I probably need Master Chan back in my life right now.
If I'm being really honest, he's probably like, oh baby, baby, get back into training.
joe rogan
They're so friendly though.
I wouldn't think that Thai people would be that...
gina carano
Have you been to Thailand?
joe rogan
Yes!
I enjoyed it over there.
gina carano
They're always like, the first two weeks of training sucks so bad because they're like, oh, too big, too big.
You need to go down.
And I'm like, I usually lose about like 20 pounds the first two weeks just because I'm like, shit, this fat shaming just sucks.
But I grew up in my family where, like, I walked in and, you know, my grandmother, my grandmama Maxine, she'd be like, honey, no, you can't look like that on TV. You have to, you know, because she comes from classical days.
She's like, no, you need to, you know, get in the gym and make sure that your face is good and da-da-da.
So my family doesn't pull any punches either, and I'm okay with that.
Like, I think it's, you know, people around you telling you the truth.
Trying to make you better in life, which is my entire family, every single one of them.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's a weird time today where you're not supposed to do that anymore.
gina carano
Nobody's stopping on me.
joe rogan
They want you to preserve people's feelings now, but...
There's, like, fat shaming only works if you feel bad.
gina carano
If you feel bad if you do it?
joe rogan
No, if the person feels bad.
Like, you can't fat shame me.
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know, I'd be like, oh, I'm fat?
Okay.
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's not going to work.
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
Like, if you have an issue with your weight and someone tries to fat shame you, then it works.
gina carano
Yeah, well, I mean, obviously, like, it's, like, not a great feeling, but it is a necessary...
You know somebody cares about you when they're like, hey, you know, like, okay, hey, you're doing this in your life, and it's probably not benefiting you.
Like, how can I help you?
You know, and in my family, the Italian part of my family is just, like, it's funny, because you walk into, like, Thanksgiving, and they're like, okay, you're five pounds up.
Way to go.
You're going to stay away from the mushroom raviolis this time?
And I'm like, why do you have four different types of bread on the table?
This is your fault.
joe rogan
Well, people do it because they care about you sometimes, but sometimes they do it just because it's a place to be cruel.
gina carano
Well, I don't care about those people.
joe rogan
Oh, that's good.
That's the internet.
gina carano
That's a lot of the internet.
That's the entire Twitter.
joe rogan
That's a lot of it.
It's super unhealthy for them, too.
They don't even realize it.
They're spitting out all this emotional poison.
They're doing it all day long.
That's not good.
It's not good for you, either.
You can't feel good about yourself just being mean to people all day.
gina carano
Yeah, but that says more about them than it does about you.
joe rogan
Yeah, it does.
And, you know, look, people talk like that all the time.
The difference is it seems different when it's written down.
You know, like if you just had people alone in a barbershop, they would just be talking shit and insulting people.
gina carano
Yes, which is great.
joe rogan
But now it's written down.
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
That's the difference.
Louis C.K. said that to me once.
And when he said it, I was like, oh, now I thought about it differently.
He goes, it's just talk.
People always talk like that.
But now it's written down.
It looks different when you read it.
gina carano
And it's so not how people really are in person.
I just did a Dallas Fan Expo for three days and there was not one person in that whole Expo that said one thing negative, hateful, there was no...
joe rogan
Isn't that weird?
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
Meet people in real life, they're almost always nice.
gina carano
I feel like people are so beaten down right now from the internet, from thinking that this is how people are, that they're just beaten down and then they get out and I'm just hugging as many people as possible.
I'm shaking their hands.
I wish I had more time than that for, you know, those couple, three minutes with them because...
You know, I'm not necessarily an extrovert.
It's not like I want to be out there and talking to a bunch of people, but I feel like that's what people need right now.
And I love doing it.
So I've got like four more fan expos this year that they're tiring and you have to keep your energy up for each different person.
But I just think out of all the years I'm going to do this, it's going to be this year.
So I can look people in the face and let them know that this isn't real life over here on the internet.
This is real life.
joe rogan
Yeah.
For fighters, it's particularly hard, I think, because fighting is such an emotional endeavor.
You expose your soul to people.
They see you quit, or they see you succeed when you could have quit.
They see how hard you train.
They see how well you deal with the pressure of the big moment of a huge fight.
It is so emotional.
So when people attack fighters, and a lot of these people are unaccomplished, uneducated, uncaring.
They don't understand what they're doing with their words when they're using them.
It's just like verbal diarrhea on Twitter, and they're doing it to try to be insulting and mean.
And I watch fighters go back and forth with them, and I always tell them, hey man, don't read that shit.
Don't read that shit, and definitely don't fucking respond.
gina carano
Yeah, I learned that a little bit late.
Don't respond.
joe rogan
Yeah, don't go back and forth with people.
It's bad for you.
gina carano
Although, so you're not on Twitter very much, are you?
joe rogan
I post and ghost.
I post and I get the fuck out of there.
I don't read anything.
I read Twitter, but I read other stuff.
gina carano
But you also have this platform where you can have people be drawn to and to hear your actual voice, which is really nice.
unidentified
That helps a lot.
joe rogan
That helps a lot because that's the real you versus the characterizations, caricatures.
They'll make a version of you that's not real, and then they'll attack that version.
People love to do that.
They love to take things out of context.
They love to pretend you're someone you're not.
gina carano
I have Patricia Arquette.
You know who that is?
joe rogan
Sure.
gina carano
She's coming at me on Twitter right now.
joe rogan
She is?
unidentified
For what?
joe rogan
The actress?
gina carano
Yes, who I absolutely look up to.
She did a recent film, I think it was on Apple, called Severance, which is the microchip in the brain.
Really cool series.
And of course, True Romance was one of my favorite movies to this day.
And she's coming after me, so I had posted an article about if there's any time to stand up, it's right now.
If there's any time to get canceled for something or stand up or have there be some sort of controversy, it's like, right now, standing up for our constitutional rights, I feel like that's a good time to stand.
joe rogan
Yeah.
gina carano
And she got on there and said, she said, they wouldn't know about their constitutional rights or something if it slapped them or smacked them in the face.
And I was like, what?
Like...
And so I responded to it and I said, they, meaning, are you saying they are stupid?
Are you calling half or more than half the country stupid?
They don't know about their constitutional rights because all you read right here is Fox News.
And then she went into this massive spiel about like the January 6th and everything, which had nothing to do with the article.
joe rogan
What was the article about?
gina carano
It was just about me talking about the cancel culture and how the mob came after me.
It had nothing to do about the election or nothing to do about January 6th.
joe rogan
How did constitutional rights get factored into that?
gina carano
Just how I've been kind of very...
I guess anti-lockdown, anti-forcing people to vaccinate, forcing people to mask.
I've been very vocal about that.
I guess vocal by being on Twitter and sharing quotes and things like that.
I feel like we've lost a lot of our rights by this fear-mongering and overreach of government.
So I don't know.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Well, no, I think you're right about that.
And I don't think there's anything wrong with saying that.
I think it's an important thing to say.
gina carano
And I was saying it early.
joe rogan
You were saying it boldly.
unidentified
Early.
joe rogan
You were saying it when people were scared.
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
And that's one of the things that happened is that everybody got separated from everybody.
It was an incredibly anxious time.
So many people are so filled with anxiety already.
And then you take something like a deadly disease where you have to be locked in your house and then they're going to keep you from working.
So a lot of people are in full panic because they're going to lose their business.
How many people are out there check to check?
Most of America.
And then all of a sudden you can't go to work?
Hmm.
And you don't know what to do, and then something comes along, and it's a vaccine, and this vaccine, if you take it, they'll let you go back to work.
And you better fucking take it!
And everybody gets crazy.
Fucking take it!
We need to get back to work!
unidentified
We need to get back to work!
joe rogan
No critical thinking about, hey, Are we sure that this is the only way to do this?
Hey, is this a one-size-fits-all strategy for everybody?
And when have we ever employed one of those?
Like, hey, what's the actual scientific data on this medicine?
Do you have any long-term studies?
No, you don't.
When do you want to release this stuff?
You want to release the studies in 70 years?
unidentified
What the fuck are you talking about?
joe rogan
You want to release all the results after everyone's dead?
That seems a little suspicious.
gina carano
What I think a lot of us feel, I don't know if you feel the same, but for me, I had two grandfathers start a business from scratch and made pretty good names for themselves.
And I've seen big businesses run up close and personal.
I find it really hard to believe that the people that shut us down, some of the most intelligent people, far more intelligent than I could ever imagine, didn't know by taking people's jobs away from them, taking their consistency, taking their livelihoods and saying, okay, we're going to pay you and keep you home.
Wasn't going to affect people's addictions.
Wasn't going to affect people's suicide's purpose.
Because I'm my best self when I'm working.
When I'm working, my diet is under control.
I'm working out.
I have constant interaction with people.
You're not partying all the time.
It's just structured.
Some of us need structure.
Most of us do.
I think it's probably a very small amount of people that Right now, what I'm doing is I have to provide my own work.
But I've also now got 30 years of learning how to do this now.
But when you take a bus driver, when you take somebody who's been doing a job for 25 years, And you take that away from them, and you put them at home, and now all of a sudden they're faced with their families, and they're faced with themselves, and it's like a responsibility that you just took away their structure.
So I just really find it hard to believe that this wasn't on purpose.
joe rogan
I don't think it was on purpose.
I think you're dealing with Monday morning quarterbacking, and I think people are looking at it and going, how did they not know this, and how did they not know that?
gina carano
What do you mean by Monday morning quarterbacking?
joe rogan
Like pretending you would have done things differently because you would have been smarter on Sunday.
Like you would have seen it coming and you would have done this.
I think you're giving these people way too much credit.
Smart people don't want to be in government.
Smart people want to be CEOs of giant companies that make shitloads of cash.
Corrupt people who use government to funnel money into their own accounts, whether it's through these giant fees they get paid in these speaking engagements, or whether it's through insider trading, because they know about laws and bills that are going to be passed that are going to affect the stock market, and so they get in early.
We know about these people.
gina carano
Like Nancy Pelosi.
unidentified
Exactly.
joe rogan
We talk about her all the time on this podcast.
How crazy that is.
She's the greatest investor of all time.
Do you know that she's better than George Soros and Warren Buffet?
gina carano
And nobody can talk about this?
I mean, how is this not a bigger deal?
joe rogan
It's corruption.
It's sanctified corruption.
Sanctioned corruption.
gina carano
I just really do feel, I feel like this wasn't...
joe rogan
I don't think they knew.
I think they were in a panic, and I think they shut everyone down, and I think they like controlling people and telling people what to do, and they didn't want to give up control.
But I think some states...
We're like, fuck that.
Get back to work.
We need to live.
We need to give people the freedom.
And this is why people celebrated Ron DeSantis in Florida.
This is why people celebrated Greg Abbott in Texas.
That's why I moved here.
I don't want anybody telling me what to do.
This is a pandemic, right?
But it's not a pandemic like fucking smallpox.
This is a different thing.
This is not the Spanish flu that's going to kill 50 fucking million people in this country.
gina carano
I know.
So when I was thinking about pandemic, right, I'd just gotten...
We wrapped on Mandalorian Season 2. We wrapped like four days before they decided to lock everybody down.
And by the way, I was a complete lunatic.
I was like, a pandemic?
I was like, oh my gosh, people are going to get boils on their skin and their arms are going to start falling off.
People were worried.
My idea of what pandemic meant was so much different than what it ended up being.
joe rogan
Because everybody's idea was different.
Look, when people first started, first of all, there was a lot of things that happened early on.
One of the things, they put people on ventilators very early.
Ventilators, 80% of the people that got put on ventilators died.
And my friend who's a doctor said a lot of those people survived.
A lot of them.
gina carano
It became like a death sentence to go into the hospital.
joe rogan
But that's also Monday morning quarterbacking because they thought these people's respiratory systems were going to shut down.
No one knew how bad it was in the early days.
gina carano
It took a long time.
They were silencing people.
joe rogan
I know, they were silencing people because there's so many voices.
gina carano
But they were silencing anybody that was saying, hey, this medication could be better, and they're still silencing people.
That's why it feels so on purpose.
It's like the silencing coupled with the obvious benefits that some of them are succeeding in all of what they're doing.
How many government officials became millionaires here?
Billionaires.
joe rogan
I don't know how many government officials became billionaires, but a lot of humans that were connected to the government and connected to the decisions that were made did become billionaires.
gina carano
Everybody's husbands, that works for them.
joe rogan
Well, it's also just like a lot of people that were working in these pharmaceutical companies that produced these vaccines, they made enormous amounts of profit.
And they were protected.
This is the most important part.
They were protected from liability, which is nuts.
But that's the only way they were willing to do this, the way they did it.
gina carano
I'm glad that I don't agree with you on everything because I do feel like it was so on purpose.
joe rogan
I don't think it's on purpose.
I don't think they would release a virus that kills millions of people on purpose.
I don't think that they would crush the economy on purpose.
I think there was a lot of poor decision making that was done.
First of all, a lot of it was done with the idea that it has to seem like you're doing something because you are in government and you are a person that's in charge.
gina carano
I hope you're right.
joe rogan
I'm pretty sure I'm right about that.
I think there's a lot of people that get all tinfoily hattie on that kind of shit.
gina carano
Well, underneath here.
I just don't see how these intelligent people didn't know that this was going to happen.
I just don't see how they didn't know there was going to be a mental health crisis.
joe rogan
I don't think they're that intelligent.
And I don't think they thought it was going to last this long.
It was two weeks to stop the spread.
gina carano
It does completely change.
joe rogan
Two weeks to flatten the curve.
Remember that?
gina carano
Yeah.
Which was ever going to be just two weeks.
joe rogan
If everybody stayed home and did absolutely nothing for two weeks, it probably could have been.
You know, Lorenzo Fertitta was the first person, or it's Frank.
Frank Fertitta was the first person to suggest that.
You know what he said?
He said, listen, let's shut the fucking country down for one month.
Nobody does anything for one month.
He goes, let's just pull the fucking band-aid off.
And he was right, if everybody really did that.
The problem is nobody does that.
You go over to your friend's house, you start drinking, you're hanging out.
One buddy likes to go to the store, he goes to the store, he talks to the grocer, the grocer's got COVID. You come home, you give it to grandma, grandma dies.
It's like, that's the reality of people.
They go around, they do different things, and that's why people are like, Wear a mask!
unidentified
Stay at home!
joe rogan
They're screaming like you're gonna stop this.
But you gotta look at humans for what they actually are.
We are these animals that like to be around each other.
We're very tribal.
We need each other's company.
And we go fucking crazy when we don't have each other's company.
gina carano
Well, I thought when they had the lockdowns, I thought there was gonna be riots on the street just because of the lockdowns.
I thought there was gonna be people around the street like, no, you can't lock us down.
I thought just because, I guess, you know, Because if the world was like you, you'd be like, fuck this.
joe rogan
I'm going out.
gina carano
Well, no.
I'm actually the most homebody person ever.
I mean, I could stay in my house for three months and not see a soul and be just fine.
joe rogan
Right, but you're not the type of person that wants anybody telling you what to do.
gina carano
I just don't...
I looked at it...
So, let me...
The first two weeks, I was a lunatic.
I was a California COVID Karen to the max.
I was so stressed out.
I was like, Mom!
Because she was in Las Vegas.
I was like, I don't think you're taking this seriously enough.
And she's like, darling, it's going to be okay.
And I'm like...
I packed up all my stuff, because I didn't know if we were going to get stuck in California.
I didn't want to get stuck away from my family, so I packed up all my stuff, I headed to Las Vegas, I stayed with my mom, and every time she came in the door I was like, wipe your shoes!
unidentified
Jesus Christ.
gina carano
I was a lunatic, yeah, because I was scared.
I didn't know what a pandemic was.
And then my stepdad would go out and I'm like, here's your mask, here's your mask.
And I was wiping down all the groceries and then I got so crazy into it that I was like, I got like a toolbox out of the garage and I was like, I just snapped.
unidentified
Did you get COVID ever?
gina carano
I guess so, probably, but I would...
joe rogan
You don't know?
gina carano
Well, I mean, I tested positive on a test.
Does that count?
joe rogan
Yes.
unidentified
Okay.
gina carano
Okay.
joe rogan
I think that means you had COVID. Yeah.
Unless it's a false positive.
gina carano
Yeah, which those exist don't think.
joe rogan
Did you get an antibody test?
gina carano
No.
joe rogan
Damn, we could have given you one.
gina carano
Yeah, but what do you have to do for that?
I don't know.
joe rogan
Easy.
Blood test.
Takes two seconds.
No, no, no.
Pinprick.
Very, very quick.
Jamie's the king.
He's got the best antibodies in the land.
unidentified
Tested a day.
joe rogan
How thick were they?
gina carano
How often do you test?
joe rogan
He does it just to show off.
He's gigantic.
His antibody line is like a fat Sharpie line.
Like legitimately.
gina carano
Yeah, so I think I, you know, well, what happened was I went out in Las Vegas and I got a hangover, right?
Because I'm not old enough to have those yet.
I need to learn my lesson already.
But I went out in Las Vegas, I got a hangover, and then I wasn't feeling good the next day.
So I was like, okay, I'm not feeling good.
It's right before Christmas.
And I was like, my mom's like, are you sure this is a hangover?
And I'm like, yeah, I'm pretty sure.
But if you want to test me, I don't, you know, it's your house.
And she tested me and it was positive.
It was pretty aggressive.
I was really, really sick for about seven days.
My body was aching.
Everything hurt so bad.
joe rogan
So you definitely had COVID. Yeah.
So why are you saying, I guess?
gina carano
I guess I did.
joe rogan
You definitely had it.
You have all the symptoms of COVID and you tested positive.
gina carano
It's fine.
I had COVID. I had COVID. Okay, so COVID's definitely different than the flu then?
joe rogan
It's definitely different than the flu.
This is an engineered virus.
This is a virus that was created in a fucking lab.
I don't think they did it on purpose.
I really don't.
No, I think the Chinese lab in which they did it in Wuhan was so bad, they were cited for safety violations as recently as I think 2018. I think the real question is, why were they doing this kind of research?
And the people that understand the research that they were doing, Like, Barack Obama stopped that stuff from happening in 2014. He put the kibosh on that back then.
When the Trump administration was kind of chaotic, that's when they started it all up again.
And they were lying about funding it.
They were lying about funding it.
They were saying, we don't fund it.
But you do fund EcoHealth Alliance, and EcoHealth Alliance funds the Wuhan lab.
So shut the fuck up.
This is all crazy.
These guys, the emails alone that were transferred back and forth from Peter Daszak and Anthony Fauci and all these people that were involved in the funding of this research, just the way they were framing it and the way they were disparaging legitimate scientists and legitimate doctors that were not lockstep in agreement with them, it's fucking shameful.
It's not scientific.
gina carano
Shameful as in people need to be in prison, maybe?
joe rogan
Fuck yeah.
And not only that, this should be a thing.
Like, Rand Paul's the only one who calls him out on it.
And he does it on a regular basis, and he's 100% correct in the things that he's saying about the funding of this particular type of research.
Because when you see Fauci say that it's not gain-of-function research, but that's not true, because the NIH says it's gain-of-function research.
They all say it now.
unidentified
Because they want to protect their own ass.
gina carano
This is a rumor online, and I'm going to ask you a bunch of...
Okay, so is Dr. Fauci's wife on the NIH, isn't she like one of the heads?
Isn't that some sort of thing?
joe rogan
Let's find out.
She does something.
She has some function.
gina carano
And he used to be the head of the NIH during that whole AIDS thing, which we're not making any comparisons to.
Here it is.
joe rogan
She's the head of the Department of Bioethics.
It's the National Institute of Health Clinical Center.
Yes, there it is.
gina carano
Do you think maybe this is a problem?
joe rogan
Well, it's all crazy.
Because these people, they have massive amounts of power to decide who gets funded, what labs get funded, and no one wants to step out of line.
There's a crazy fucking book that I'm in the middle of that's a very controversial book.
And it was one of those books, I'm like, God, do I want to get into this?
gina carano
Robert Kennedy Jr. Oh, yeah!
joe rogan
Robert Kennedy Jr.'s book, The Real Anthony Fauci.
Holy fucking shit.
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
Like, there's some stuff in that that is 100% verifiable truth.
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
And it's crazy.
gina carano
I know that's the only time I think I've ever...
I got your number from Kevin, and I was like, dude, have you had Robert?
Have you had him?
joe rogan
No, I haven't had him on.
gina carano
And I was like, I don't know if you got that text message, but I'm like, oh, it was one of those idiots that texted him saying you should have the so-and-so on your podcast.
unidentified
Ah, that's fine.
joe rogan
Yes, and that's how I find out about a lot of really interesting people.
gina carano
I had talked to him because he's got the child health defense program that he does, and it's interesting enough, his wife is an actress.
I don't know if it's...
joe rogan
She's the wife on Curb Your Enthusiasm.
unidentified
Yes.
gina carano
So, you know, she was fully vaccinated and has publicly said, you know, like while Robert was getting in trouble, she's like, I do not have the same beliefs as my husband, you know?
And everybody was like, ooh, ouch.
Like, why are you going to do that to your husband?
joe rogan
Do you remember when Kellyanne Conway was the White House press secretary and then her husband hates Trump?
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
So her husband was publicly against Trump.
I like that.
gina carano
I love that.
I love that.
I think we need more of that.
joe rogan
Yes, why not?
People can be married and have completely different views.
gina carano
Yeah, but she totally was like, I'm not with him on this.
And I was like, damn!
I don't know if I'd ever do that.
But Robert, I got on the phone with him and I was like, you know, I'm afraid our union, SAG-Africa union, is going to mandate these vaccines.
Is there any taking them to court?
How do we figure this out?
And he's like, well, and I didn't know this.
He's like, well, my wife is an actress and there's no getting around it right now.
And I was like, damn.
And I even looked up online today.
They still are extending that mandate till mid-July.
With all the information about it being safe and effective and with all of that stuff coming out, How are they still mandating this in anything?
I think that the people that are mandating it need to be made an example out of.
joe rogan
Well, it's very strange.
I think they do it because they think it's the right thing to do.
I don't think they do it...
gina carano
You have such a more positive outlook than I do.
joe rogan
I'm objective.
I try to look at everything objectively.
gina carano
What does that mean, objective?
joe rogan
I don't look at it in terms of the answer that I want to be correct.
I don't look at it like, oh, I'm suspicious because I go, well, what are the actual facts and why would people do this and why would people do that?
When you're the head of a union and you have something like a national public crisis, a national public health crisis, You have to show that you are taking the correct actions.
The general belief of the public is the correct action is to be vaccinated.
If you are gonna step outside of that and say, we're gonna take a rebellious position, and we're not gonna mandate that people be vaccinated, but we are gonna mandate that people have to work.
We're going to put them in these sets and we're going to have them around people, but the general consensus is for most people think that you're supposed to be vaccinated, right?
I would say more than 60% of the population thinks you should be vaccinated.
When these people are on the set with these people that That's not true.
gina carano
Which is why I don't think that 60% of the population still think it needs to be right.
joe rogan
I think most people are not aware of all this.
Most people are not listening to me.
They're not listening to podcasts.
They're not reading the real Anthony Fauci.
Most people are getting their news from CNN or from MSNBC or whatever the fuck they listen to, even Fox News.
gina carano
Do you feel like it's changing a little bit?
joe rogan
I don't know.
It's changing a little in that they're starting to be open about the fact that why are people still sick?
Why are people getting boosted?
Fauci's had two boosters and he's sick with COVID. Maybe it protected him.
Maybe it did.
I'd like to know whether or not he took remdesivir because there's a lot of studies that show that that stuff is toxic to your kidneys.
And this is something that also is in that book, the real Anthony Fauci book.
gina carano
I wish I was a little bit more objective.
I wish I was like that, but my brain kind of works off of maybe more emotional.
Would that make me more...
joe rogan
Mine does too.
I just don't let it.
gina carano
I feel like when I see them still mandating something that all of these documents have come out and said, what is it, 13%, 14% effective, all of these people are still getting COVID-19.
I just feel like to push on and force people to get this vaccine that they don't believe in, Is in my just simple mind, it just seems like an abuse of power to kind of weed out the people that will comply and weed out the people that won't comply.
And so that now, you know, we don't have such like, you know, as big of a problem.
joe rogan
I think there's an element of that, but I think the element of that comes after the decisions were already made.
The decisions were made, in my opinion, originally to try to protect the public health, and then it became a thing where there is a tremendous amount of money that's being funneled into various organizations, into various politicians, into campaign funds, into all these different things, and it's by these enormous pharmaceutical companies.
gina carano
I don't think that it wasn't like when Trump came out and said, you know, we're going to shut the world down for a second.
I don't think that that...
I feel like that was a really hard decision because if he didn't, then they would have ammunition on him for a lifetime and it would have just been like...
I mean, I feel like that was a really hard decision for...
joe rogan
Well, it's a hard decision, period, because you don't know what to do.
gina carano
Yeah, so it's like the two weeks to slow the spread, but now in looking back at the lockdowns, looking back at the masks, looking back at the forced vaccinations, I feel like anybody who's enforcing it moving forward is absolutely criminal.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
But the thing is, in California, they don't think like that.
In California, there are a lot of people that I'm friends with.
This is one of the reasons why I disagree.
There's people that I'm friends with, okay, that aren't even in the fucking movie industry.
They're not even in Hollywood.
And they think everyone should be vaccinated and boosted, and they've even had second boost.
And I know people that have had boosts, and they've had problems because of it.
They've gotten wrecked.
And they're still in support of boosting in this because they think that this is the way to go to protect everybody.
I'm like, protect everybody still?
We're in July of 2022, okay?
Omicron is the latest variant.
I had it for a day.
I didn't even believe I had it.
I came in here.
My nose was sniffling.
I was joking with our nurse.
And I said, maybe this is it.
Maybe I got it.
She was like, you're not going to believe it.
You're positive.
I go, shut the fuck up.
I'm like, this is COVID. Granted, this is after I'd already had Delta.
So I had immunity.
I had some antibodies.
And I basically had sniffles.
The next day I was negative, by the way.
gina carano
And so do you feel like the first time you got it, Delta was it then?
joe rogan
That was real.
The first time I got it was real.
gina carano
And do you feel like the second time you got it, you're...
Yes.
joe rogan
Yeah, my antibodies had kicked in.
gina carano
So it's kind of getting weaker, right?
joe rogan
Bill Gates had said this, which the way he said it, I think he phrased it in a clumsy way, which, by the way, I can relate to because I do that every day.
But he said when he was talking about it that unfortunately...
Omicron works better than the vaccine at protecting people.
And it really does.
So I had Delta, which was the first hardcore one.
gina carano
Because everybody had that over Christmas.
unidentified
Yes.
joe rogan
Omicron is very mild.
So my thing is, if you're not going to force...
gina carano
I must have had something else because it was not mild for me.
unidentified
No, no, no.
joe rogan
I bet you had Delta.
Delta is rough.
Some people get bad from Omicron, but a lot of people...
I have friends that got really sick from Omicron and they're vaccinated.
And they got really sick from it.
And there's some concern that Omicron might be what's called a vaccine escape variant.
What a vaccine escape variant is, is when you have variants that are what they call, excuse me, vaccines that are leaky vaccines.
Vaccines that offer protection, but don't provide you immunity, right?
So it offers you some antibodies, and it protects you from getting really seriously ill, but it doesn't stop you from getting it.
Well then, the virus figures out a way to get around those antibodies.
So what it does is it kind of mutates and favors The vaccine variants which can get through your antibodies.
So, like, say if you're vaccinated for the original strain, right?
The original strain of COVID. Well, that's not around anymore.
gina carano
Right.
joe rogan
So you have B cell and T cell memory that protect you somewhat.
But when your body tries to react and produce antibodies for that original strain, that original strain's not around anymore.
And then this Omicron sneaks in through the door because you were like, where is COVID? We're looking for it out here, and this Omicron COVID just sneaks right in the back door, and people get really sick.
So this is the speculation why some people get really sick that are vaccinated with Omicron, whereas a lot of people that are not vaccinated that get Omicron aren't getting as sick.
But that's also anecdotal.
It could be those people that aren't getting as sick, we're healthier, they take better care of themselves.
There's so many variables.
I just don't like when people tell me there's a one-size-fits-all approach to health.
Because I know there's people that are doing way more for their health.
They're taking vitamins, they're resting and exercising, and there's other people that are drinking and doing heroin.
We can't say that these people both need the same treatment for a fucking disease.
gina carano
Or there's people who are 350 pounds that are like, well, I'm fat, so you have to take this for me, for my health.
unidentified
Exactly.
gina carano
You know, like me and Kevin are good examples.
Like, you know, I love food.
I love drink.
You know, I love to hang out.
He loves to get up and run his six miles.
You know, he loves to...
Well, he doesn't do very good with whiskey, so he's not really allowed for whiskey.
But, you know, he doesn't very rarely pollute his body.
unidentified
Right.
gina carano
And in my head, you know, it's like, I can't, until I'm doing everything I possibly can to take care of myself and be responsible for my health, who am I going to be to be like, hey, you have to take, this is what I would take, I would take these antibiotics, you have to take these antibiotics, you know?
Right.
And, you know, I have a very close friend of mine who is still masking and is still doing all this, and she says, you know, because she's about, you know, 300 pounds, And she's like, well, I'm fat, so I should be able to, I have to protect myself and protect my own.
And I'm like, well, I mean, if you want to feel better, there's other places to do that, you know?
joe rogan
Lose some weight.
unidentified
Maybe not fried chicken.
Yeah.
joe rogan
But, you know, we live in a culture where you're not supposed to say that.
This was a really interesting part of the early part of the pandemic.
unidentified
I hate that.
gina carano
Why can't we?
We're America.
We're United States of America.
joe rogan
Well, we can say it.
You can still say it, but a lot of people are going to freak out.
gina carano
But I can tell people, like, I understand.
I'm not necessarily healthy all the time, you know?
And I know that in looking in the mirror, I have to take responsibility for that.
I have to take my own responsibility and not push that responsibility off on everybody else.
And make some lifestyle changes.
And if I don't, then, you know, I have to deal with those.
joe rogan
But you have a lot of people in this country that are living in denial about health in regards to being obese.
Like, there's a lot of people that think there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.
And that it's healthy.
And that it's a lie.
And that dieting is unhealthy.
Like, there's a lot of crazy talk today.
And if you get in the wrong echo chamber online, you can be a victim of that kind of crazy talk.
Because you start believing it.
gina carano
I feel like what people are, what they're saying is like, see what I'm saying is, you can be beautiful.
I believe beauty comes from...
I feel beauty very much comes from...
joe rogan
Comes from within?
gina carano
Yes, Joe, I feel that.
I feel like...
joe rogan
You should write cards, like Hallmark cards.
gina carano
Maybe I will after I don't have a job the rest of my life.
No, I do.
I feel like a soul shines through and your mind is beautiful and your heart is beautiful.
joe rogan
That's true.
Those are true things.
There's beautiful people that aren't aesthetically pleasing.
gina carano
And so when we get into this conversation of, you know, okay, so you're 300 pounds, it doesn't mean I think you're not beautiful.
It doesn't mean I don't think that you can't be beautiful with weight on you.
I mean, honestly, some guys really prefer it.
I don't, you know, like, Kevin actually, he actually likes a little bit of cushion.
You know, it's really strange.
Like, it's funny.
unidentified
Yeah.
gina carano
I'm like, thank God!
But I don't think he likes too much cushion, so I'm over-cushioning right now.
But I think that's where we kind of go wrong.
I don't think that people aren't beautiful if they have extra weight on themselves.
I think that people have different tastes.
joe rogan
People definitely have different tastes.
But relatively speaking, this is very generally speaking.
People are generally more attracted to people who are physically healthy because sexual attraction is a lot about who can you breed with.
And if you see someone and they're built like a bowling ball and they're just sitting there eating cake all day, generally speaking, that is not a good person to breed with.
This is not a good specimen.
gina carano
Yeah, so like the natural instincts of something.
Well, in a world where we're not really working off of common sense or natural anything, I think that maybe that's getting a little bit skewed, and maybe people are finding themselves attracted to things that they normally wouldn't have been attracted to.
joe rogan
There's a little of that, but it's also social media.
People pretend that they like things because it makes them seem more virtuous.
They pretend that if you aren't attracted to someone who's overweight, then you're ableist or you're sizest.
Although they come up with terms for why they shouldn't go to the gym.
You know there's there's a lot of that going on where there's just people reinforcing other people's really bad ideas and then I mean but and then there's maybe a different take on Just beauty is kind of in the eye of the beholder a little bit more definitely is yeah No, it definitely is like I know a girl and she likes really skinny guys look like they have Like heroin problems.
Yeah, that's like her thing.
Yeah, she's into like she wants to see their ribs.
gina carano
Yeah Whoa.
joe rogan
That's her thing.
But I mean, I don't know why.
gina carano
And I know guys like that.
I see guys that are attracted to women where you have to see the ribs.
And there's like, you know, the guys that I attract are probably more the guys that are like, oh, you could push her up against the wall and she's not going to break.
unidentified
She might break the wall.
gina carano
Yeah.
Break down the wall.
We actually almost brought down the wall on a movie Haywire did me and Michael Fassbender.
Yes, I bring down walls.
unidentified
There you go.
gina carano
I feel like that's what's going on is this battle between...
One side is like, hey, health.
Let's support health.
Let's not make this okay over here.
And this other side is just like...
Let's make a beauty in the eye of the beholder.
And I do think there's a middle ground where most of us live in.
It doesn't have to be just so black and white.
It can be both.
joe rogan
I think you're right.
I also think that the idea of what one person is attracted to, everybody has to agree on, is nuts.
Because first of all, I'm attracted to women.
I can't believe they're attracted to me.
It doesn't make any sense.
If I had to date guys, I'd be disgusted.
If I had to date only people who look like me, I'd be like, Jesus Christ, this sucks.
This is not what I like.
But women like men, and men like women, and some men like men, and some women like women.
You should be able to like whatever the fuck you want, but don't lie about what's healthy.
This is where I'm like, it's not about beauty.
If you want to think you're beautiful because you're anorexic, I mean, I don't know what to tell you.
It's not good for you.
gina carano
Absolutely.
And I think that that is a nice balance.
There's a difference between health and beauty.
Yes.
And the eye of the beholder.
Right.
joe rogan
But just like, we can't lie.
gina carano
I mean, I'm super attracted to...
I'm not attracted to muscles.
I'm attracted to more of like the...
You know, lean Muay Thai.
Long legs, lean Muay Thai body that's, you know, complete opposite my body, you know.
I'm attracted to that.
You know, I don't really like...
joe rogan
Well, like you found Kevin Ross.
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
Perfect.
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
What a weird thing that you would be attracted to a Muay Thai fighter and date a Muay Thai fighter.
gina carano
But where did this start off?
Who did I have in my posters on my wall?
Um...
But more than his body or anything, I like his artistic mind.
I like how he's the quiet guy in the room.
This quiet strength.
joe rogan
Confidence.
gina carano
And he's just got this no bullshit meter.
I love that.
But I love his art.
So the poster that I had when I was 16, it was all Johnny Depp.
All Johnny Depp everything.
And then Angelina Jolie.
So those were like my two poster people.
joe rogan
Well, they're pretty fucking beautiful, both of those two.
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
Pretty tough to beat in terms of like just the aesthetics of their face.
gina carano
But like Johnny Depp screams art to me.
joe rogan
Well, he's an artistic guy.
unidentified
Do you know him at all?
gina carano
No, no.
joe rogan
Very sweet guy.
gina carano
Is he?
joe rogan
Sweet guy.
gina carano
Well, he's got a fan in me.
If he wants to do a cancel movie, I'm down.
joe rogan
I don't think he's canceled anymore.
I think he's back.
gina carano
Yeah, I'm trying to be back, too.
I don't know if it's working.
joe rogan
You can be back.
We defended you, because what you said was not incorrect.
And the only problem was the comparison to the Holocaust.
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
And I get that people have a hard time comparing things to the Holocaust, but...
If you go to Germany in 1930, there's not a chance in hell anybody ever saw that coming.
No one saw what happened and the way Jews were demonized and the evil Nazi empire that took over.
Within 14, 13, 12 years, it was happening.
That's crazy.
And that happens by othering people.
And that's what you were saying.
That is what you were saying.
gina carano
I was saying, because I think I've been a little bit naive in my life.
I would always look at the stories of the Holocaust and I'd always think, oh my gosh, how did that ever happen?
How did that ever happen in people's brains while you're in their neighborhood and they're kicking these people out of their homes?
They're taking you out and you're watching your, you know, neighbors get, you know, arrested.
How did anybody let that happen?
I just didn't understand it.
And I've been a very, you know, I mean, if you look through every single post on my, you know, Twitter account, I mean, I watch movies all the time on the Holocaust and I'm really, you know, my heart, I'm like the one that's bawling at these stories.
joe rogan
Like Chandler's List?
gina carano
Horrific, right?
Have you ever seen Swing Kids?
No.
Oh, you haven't seen Swing Kids?
unidentified
No.
gina carano
So it's directly what I was talking about.
I actually had that in mind when I posted this.
It's a bunch of German boys, and they would do swing as their rebellion, so they'd dance swing.
And there was a group of them.
Well, then the Nazis started to kind of infiltrate them, and two of them signed up for it.
And I don't want to ruin the ending or anything, but...
You saw how the brainwashing started happening with each different person, and it was like, it was really, it's a very, I'd watch it.
That's what I had in my mind, was neighbors turning against neighbors.
unidentified
And we saw that.
gina carano
Yeah, but the whole reason why that happened, and they kind of came after me so hard over that, They were already on you.
They were on me for like...
joe rogan
What were they on you for?
They were looking for a reason to hate you.
gina carano
I think because I just wasn't, I just wasn't towing their line.
I just wasn't, you know, I wasn't putting the black squares up.
I wasn't saying, okay, masks and lockdowns and I wasn't saying vaccinate and I wasn't like doing all the...
joe rogan
Were you saying something against that?
gina carano
I said a lot of stuff.
I said if people are out there on the streets and protesting, I think we can open up our churches and our businesses and continue on.
unidentified
Oh, that's what you said.
joe rogan
Don't you.
Don't you talk logically.
gina carano
And then I beep-bopped a boop.
So me and Kevin are sitting there watching a UFC fight.
And all these people are attacking me online.
And they're like, put trans rights in your bio.
Put trans rights and do this.
And I'm like, why are all these people being so aggressive?
joe rogan
In your bio?
They were asking you to put trans rights in your bio?
gina carano
Yeah, like tweet out trans rights, hashtag trans rights.
And then they were saying, put your pronouns in your bio.
And it was really aggressive.
And me and Kevin are just like cooking chicken wings and like watching the fights.
And I was like...
You know, so I was like, this is aggressive.
And I was like, okay, I'm going to put something in my bio that, like, you know, like, I didn't know why people were putting this in their bio.
I just wasn't with it.
I had no idea Jordan Peterson had ever been canceled, like, you know, years and years before.
So I just wasn't with it with, like, the pronouns.
Mm-hmm.
So I was like, Kevin, what should I put?
He's in the kitchen.
I'm like, what should I put?
He's like, I don't know.
I was like, beep, bop, boop.
And he's like, yeah, just put that.
And so I wasn't trying to make fun of trans people.
My statement was to be like, you can put anything you want in your bio.
You can do whatever you want.
And the publicists were like, well, if you hadn't put slashes in between and if you would have added a word, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
And I was like...
Are you fucking kidding me?
unidentified
Oh my god.
gina carano
So then all the people that were coming after me, I just started booping them because I felt like...
You know those little gift boops?
I just started booping them because I felt like I didn't want to...
I don't like to be mean.
I'm not a mean person.
So I've gotten cancelled over...
I feel like I'm in the detention room and I have no idea why I'm there.
I'm like, for booping people?
For saying you should keep the world open?
For...
You know, medical freedom.
And then for putting up a, yeah, it was, I think the image on the meme was aggressive.
But coming from a passionate place, I think that I just wanted people to have conversations and That's all I was really wanting.
joe rogan
Well, you recognized it was crazy.
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
There's a thing that's going on where when people start telling someone that looks like me to put your pronoun in your Twitter bio, like, hey, no.
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
Get the fuck out of here.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Like, maybe I'm a woman.
Maybe.
Maybe.
But what are the odds?
Most likely.
gina carano
You got some freaky shit in there now.
unidentified
Maybe.
Maybe.
joe rogan
But most likely not.
And if I was, I would fucking tell you.
If I felt like I was a woman, I'd let you know.
And until then, shut the fuck up and just leave me alone.
It's like we're dealing with the smallest percentage of a population.
And then, you know, that gets exaggerated in terms of, like, the response it gets from the general public because it seems to be something that if you're a compassionate, kind, caring person, this is what you support.
I support everybody in every way until you start telling me what to do.
gina carano
Same.
unidentified
Same.
joe rogan
I'm not interested in that.
gina carano
And I don't like the bullying that came along with it, you know?
Yes.
So yeah, I was very vocal about all of it.
And I don't think that I was toying their line.
I also don't think that...
So I never told anybody who I voted for, right?
And to be real, I've never voted in my life, which is not a proud thing.
But in 2020, I've never believed...
Maybe this is growing up in the grunge phase or whatever.
I just never believed in...
I never believed it counted.
But when 2020 came around, I knew that after the devastation of what had happened with COVID and the lockdowns and all of that, I wanted to make sure we had a strong leader that was going to be able to get this economy back.
Because once again, it's like work makes people healthier.
It gives people structure.
It helps us survive and gives us pride.
It gives us pride to work hard in our country.
It gives me pride to work hard.
I love to work.
It's my favorite thing to do.
So I wanted to make sure that I was going to actually vote in 2020. But I never told, I wasn't like, you know, you know all the celebrities that like took off their clothes and did these campaigns and they're like, you know, vote for who we're voting for and they're like doing these naked campaigns and nobody asked for.
And it was like, and they're all letting you know very much so that they're voting Democrat and they're voting for Biden and all this.
And I'm like, all I did, this is the only thing I did, I put a sticker on my hand that says I voted.
And a hate campaign trending again.
And all I did was I didn't even tell people who I voted for.
I just said I finally voted for my first time and I did a little sparkly thing.
joe rogan
And they're mad at you for that.
gina carano
Because they're putting all of their...
I never was the person to run around with a red MAGA hat on or MAGA hat.
joe rogan
Did you vote for Trump?
Is that what you're trying to say?
gina carano
Yes, I did.
But I wasn't that person, though, that was like...
But I didn't like how they were being treated because they were passionate about who they were voting for, just because they were so passionate about that, as well as these people...
Why couldn't we have equal passion?
joe rogan
The problem is the way Trump behaves makes the people who oppose him feel like they're very justified in their anger because he fights people.
If you say something that he opposes, he goes after you.
He gets angry.
He insults people.
He mocks people.
gina carano
I understand both.
joe rogan
He divides people in that way.
gina carano
I understand both of that, right?
Like, I understand very much so, like, people would prefer more professional voice.
But these are the only options we had in 2020. Right.
And that's, you know...
joe rogan
That's pragmatic.
That's a good way to look at it.
gina carano
So I was like, you know, one of my co-stars contacted me and he's like, you know, he's like, you're not voting for Trump, though.
And I was like, well, yeah, I am going to.
And he was like, Gina.
And I'm like...
What has Joe Biden said in his past that Trump hasn't said?
I mean, if you look through all of Joe Biden's history, and I was like, and to be honest, that three years of very positive economy that he was in charge, I would be a bit pissed off if I was him too.
They didn't give him a fair shake in the news to save his life.
I mean, the CNN hoax and the Russian hoax and all of that just on top of him and You know, they're just as guilty as Trump was as dividing the media.
And now they're kind of breaking down and going to people like you and going elsewhere.
And the media is now suffering, which as they should, because they're just as guilty as Trump.
joe rogan
Well, they have a problem and they have an outrage economy.
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
That's a big part of what they sell is trying to get people outraged about something.
So they find things to exaggerate and become outraged at.
gina carano
And we're going to get pretty sick and tired of that, the worst things get.
They're going to have to start reporting on real news.
joe rogan
Well, I think that's what CNN's strategy is now.
CNN was purchased.
gina carano
Oh, they got a different owner now?
joe rogan
Yes.
And one of the big things that this guy's saying is that he wants to bring back the objective news journalism instead of editorializing things.
Instead of commentary, instead of opinion, instead of all this bullshit that you get from these Brian Stelter, Don Lemon type characters.
unidentified
Oh my word.
joe rogan
That's the reason why people don't want to listen to CNN. If CNN just stuck with subjects that are important to the world and to the American people, here's the problem with the shipping crisis.
This is what's going on.
Here's what we know about this attack on this person.
Here's what we know about this oil leak.
That kind of shit is what people go to CNN for.
They don't go to CNN to listen to the opinions of dorks.
And that's what they were trying to sell.
And that's why their credibility kept dropping.
And then when they were attacking other people, it's just, God, it's so transparent what you guys are doing.
You're little fucking watchdogs for the pharmaceutical industry, which is, they're being directed.
If you find out that, one of the things we found out when we were doing this podcast is 75% of all television ads are from pharmaceutical drug companies.
gina carano
Pfizer.
joe rogan
Unbelievable.
But they think with news it's even higher than 75%.
75% for all of television, but with news it's probably even higher than that.
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
And this is the reason why they frame things the way they do.
This is the reason why they cover stories the way they do.
This is the reason why they never talk about adverse events, adverse side effects.
They never talk about the VAERS reports and the under-reporting.
They never talk about any of that shit.
They never talk about when people who are famous people who have a horrible reaction to vaccine, whether they die or have strokes or whatever.
It's just they gloss it over.
unidentified
No need to talk about that.
gina carano
And until they do, I don't think that they're going to get their name back.
You know what I mean?
Until they genuinely...
The government, the medical companies, the media, everybody needs, Disney, everybody needs to kind of break it back down.
They need to realize that our trust in the government is probably at an all-time low.
I mean, our trust in medical information is at an all-time low.
Nobody trusts anything.
I'm like, I don't trust anything.
I was all a big fan of modern medicine, and I still am.
I'm not absolutely ridiculous when it comes to any of it, but I'm trying to figure out, I don't want to take it.
I'm becoming one of those people where I'm like, okay, I don't want to take Tylenol if I don't need Tylenol just because I have a little headache, whereas before I was like, pop a Tylenol in there.
Now I'm kind of thinking, mm.
joe rogan
I read a terrible story about a woman who got COVID and died from Tylenol.
gina carano
Well, geez.
joe rogan
No, really, you can die from Tylenol.
Yeah, so this is what it was.
gina carano
This woman got COVID. We kind of need to break it down, right?
We need to kind of go back to water, healthy eating, kind of break ourselves back down, put away the things that we're using that is hurting us, and try to kind of get our systems clean, and then we can really see what the big problems are, and then we can kind of figure out how to get healthier from there, I think.
joe rogan
Yeah, I should be clear about this.
I'm not saying you shouldn't take Tylenol.
What I'm saying is that there is a dose that's lethal for Tylenol and it's not really that high.
gina carano
Really?
joe rogan
No, it's not.
This woman, she had COVID and she was in, you know, she's in pain.
She had the horrible body aches and she took Tylenol and it wasn't helping.
And so she took more and it wasn't helping and she took more and she wound up in the hospital and she had liver failure.
gina carano
I think that's important to know.
joe rogan
It is important to know.
Because a lot of people don't know that Tylenol will fucking kill you.
What is the lethal dose of Tylenol?
Let's find that out.
gina carano
I was using Tylenol rapid release when I was sick.
joe rogan
Tylenol will fuck you up.
unidentified
It will fuck you up.
joe rogan
I don't take anything.
When I had my knee surgery, I didn't take shit.
gina carano
Really?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
I was like, I'm not taking nothing.
gina carano
I'm always like, can I have six?
joe rogan
When I had my first knee surgery, I can't remember if they gave me Percocets or Vicodins.
I can't remember what it was.
But I do remember I sold it to my friend Jeff.
gina carano
How did you hear that guy?
joe rogan
Who was the local drug dealer at the pool hall.
He was...
This guy, he looked like...
gina carano
We all have that friend.
joe rogan
He looked like he was out of a Beavis and Butthead cartoon.
Okay, adult maximum acetaminophen.
So this is the Tylenol and numerous brands and products, including acetaminophen, now the most common cause of acute liver failure in the United States.
gina carano
Oh my gosh.
joe rogan
So, maximal acetaminophen daily doses.
For adults, it's four grams a day, and for children, it's 75 milligrams per kilogram a day, which is not a lot.
That is not a lot.
gina carano
I'm so glad we're bringing this up.
joe rogan
Toxic dose, 10 grams or 200 milligrams per kilogram as a single ingestion over a 24-hour period or 6 grams or 150 milligrams per kilogram per 24-hour period for two days.
200 milligrams per kilogram in healthy children, one to six years of age.
So, it can fucking kill you, okay?
And again, read that.
The most common cause of acute liver failure in the United States.
gina carano
Would that be overdose?
joe rogan
Overdose, yeah.
Overdose.
gina carano
Well, that is something I think that needed to be said today.
joe rogan
Yeah, people need to know.
It's not good for you.
By the way, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories isn't so fucking terrific for you either.
What is it?
Like ibuprofen and stuff like that.
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
My friend Cam Haynes, who runs...
gina carano
What about like Midol and Pamperin and all of those stuff?
joe rogan
I don't know if those are ibuprofen.
Are those ibuprofen as well?
gina carano
I don't know.
I feel like they're in that family, maybe.
joe rogan
Those are for girls, so...
Meanwhile, I live in a fucking house full of them.
unidentified
I should probably know.
gina carano
You should probably know that.
I should probably know.
No, like I started after, you know, after all of this vaccine and like, you know, all this stuff, I've been like, okay, do I really need that?
Do I really need that Tylenol?
Or is this just kind of something where I could drink a little bit more water and feel better?
Do I really, like, because at the beginning of the whole COVID thing, I would get like a headache and I'd be like, I have it.
It's done.
It's over.
And now it's like, I have a headache, you know, drink more water, or I'm not feeling good, and maybe it's, you know, what did I eat yesterday?
You know, it's come down to that.
I think the older I get, the more I'm like, I can get food hangovers now, you know, like if you put something- Sugar.
Yeah.
joe rogan
I'll get a food hangover with a big piece of cake.
gina carano
Yeah.
You love cake.
unidentified
I love cake.
gina carano
You do?
What kind?
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
Well, my favorite dessert is not really cake.
It's tiramisu, but it's kind of like cake.
Tiramisu is basically cake, right?
unidentified
Let's put it- It's got the little angel cookies.
joe rogan
That's the Italian in me.
I love tiramisu.
unidentified
That's my favorite.
joe rogan
But I like a chocolate cake too.
unidentified
I'll fuck up a chocolate cake.
joe rogan
A good juicy one.
gina carano
I mean, yeah.
joe rogan
Moist chocolate cake?
I'm getting excited.
gina carano
Yeah, I know.
Now you've got me thinking.
joe rogan
A warm chocolate cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Oh, come on.
gina carano
So is it just sugar?
You like your cheat meals like sugar?
joe rogan
Yeah.
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
Pasta is my cheat meal.
gina carano
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
For food, it's pasta for sure.
100%.
gina carano
What about chicken fried steak and eggs?
joe rogan
I'll eat that too.
gina carano
That is one of my favorite.
joe rogan
That's pretty damn good.
gina carano
Yeah, they probably have a good place here in Texas.
joe rogan
Oh, guaranteed.
They have chicken fried lobster out here.
They chicken fry everything up here.
gina carano
Oh, I don't know about that.
joe rogan
It's fucking good.
gina carano
No!
joe rogan
Shout out to Three Forks.
There's a Three Forks Steakhouse that has a chicken fried lobster as an appetizer.
unidentified
It's slamming.
gina carano
I think that takes away from everything.
Okay, I'll trust you.
You should have Dana White do that on his...
joe rogan
Yeah, his Fuck It Fridays.
gina carano
Yeah, his Fuck It Fridays.
I told him, I was like, those are my favorite shows.
joe rogan
Those are great.
gina carano
I don't even look at the fights anymore.
I'm like, what is he having on a Friday?
joe rogan
Have you seen when Dean Thomas does a parody of it?
He puts a fake bald wig on and puts a shirt on that's way too small so you can see his stomach.
Dean's hilarious.
unidentified
No, I haven't seen him.
joe rogan
He's really funny.
That's great.
gina carano
I'm actually mad that Dana White does that because I'm like, damn, that's such a good idea.
I want to do Fuck It Fridays now.
joe rogan
It's a great move.
He's an interesting guy, Dana, because he doesn't have to do anything.
unidentified
Look at Dean.
Oh my god.
That's amazing.
Give me some fun.
I'm rich, motherfucker.
joe rogan
Go from the beginning.
Go from the beginning so we can hear what he says.
unidentified
What's up, everybody?
Dino White here, live at the UFC headquarters.
Today is Suckin' Saturday.
Suckin' Saturday.
joe rogan
He calls himself Dino White.
unidentified
I'm rich, motherfucker.
I can do what the fuck I want.
Today, we're going to be making Rice Krispie Sloppy Joes.
joe rogan
Look how he has his shirt too short.
unidentified
So we call them sloppy hoes.
First, we gotta make the sloppy hoes.
gina carano
Oh no.
unidentified
We gotta mix it in with our sauce.
Oh no.
And mix it up real good.
Now you gotta add the sloppy hoes.
Get out.
joe rogan
What's Rice Krispies and Spam?
Oh my god, that looks disgusting.
gina carano
I gotta follow this guy.
unidentified
Oh my god, he's eating it.
Thumbs up!
joe rogan
That's a great...
unidentified
He really studied dynamite when he did that.
It doesn't suck.
It doesn't suck.
gina carano
Thumbs up.
It doesn't suck.
joe rogan
I just love how he has his shirt that's too short.
His midriff is hanging out and the bald cap.
Suck it Saturday.
unidentified
Oh my gosh.
gina carano
That was too cute.
What is his name?
joe rogan
Dean Thomas.
Dean is a coach at ATT, and he used to fight for the UFC, and he comes in in big fights.
He'll be the guy that we go to occasionally, like about strategy, we'll ask him a question, and he'll say, like, what year he has to do this, and this and that, and what Glover's doing great is this, and when this comes up, the reason why it's getting through is because of that.
unidentified
What is he doing?
joe rogan
Give me some more volume.
Refresh this.
unidentified
Refresh this.
Oh my god.
gina carano
That little shirt.
joe rogan
He's a fun dude.
unidentified
Another edition of Suck It Saturday.
Suck It Saturday.
Live at the UFC headquarters.
Today, we're making a dish from the Great Depression back in 1999 when me, Lorenzo, and Frank bought the UFC. You're welcome, motherf***er.
I got my chef, your fake-ass Gordon Ramsay, to help me out.
First, you start with one pork chop.
Chef.
Now we gotta fry it up.
Now smother it in the tub.
gina carano
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
unidentified
Now it's time to try it.
We call this a nut chop.
gina carano
Oh, he eats it.
Not bad.
unidentified
That's good.
That might be the best thing we've ever done here.
gina carano
Oh my gosh.
joe rogan
That's such a good impression of Dana.
I just love the commitment to the same kind of shirt every day with the midriff showing.
gina carano
I feel like that's not a bad Halloween costume if you're looking for one.
joe rogan
That's a great one.
Be Dean as Dana for Suck It Saturday.
And just have a t-shirt that says Suck It Saturday.
gina carano
That's amazing.
joe rogan
That's a great Halloween costume.
gina carano
You just told everybody you can cut that out.
unidentified
No, no.
joe rogan
Put that out there.
But that would be...
unidentified
I want everybody to wear it.
gina carano
Not those people being you, being him.
joe rogan
But look, he's got another one.
But I just think that if you showed up at a party with a Suck It Saturday shirt on, with a bald cap and a shirt that's too small, only the deep, deep insiders would be like, dude, that's a costume.
gina carano
I'm happy to be a part of that group now because I'm going to follow him on Instagram.
joe rogan
Dean's awesome.
I love that dude.
He's been on here before too.
gina carano
Dana, he was actually one of the people, randomly enough, that reached out to me when I got cancelled and sent me a text message.
He's like, you have to get a hold of Ben Shapiro.
And this is coming from the last time me and Dana spoke.
It was over controversy of me coming back and having a fight.
So, it was a surprise text, and he was like, hey, it was right when I was canceled, and he was like, Gina, you have to get a hold of Ben Shapiro.
He's looking for you.
And Dana was very instrumental, and I was like, wow, this is so...
It's so random, the people that come out of the woodwork, when you're completely tossed to the side, and then you really get to see people for who they are, I think.
And he was very encouraging.
joe rogan
There's a lot of people that cower when the mob comes after someone.
gina carano
They don't want to get involved.
Like the majority.
What the hell?
joe rogan
And they also take the side of the mob, even people that you thought were your friends.
gina carano
Oh, so that happened to you as well?
joe rogan
Not really.
unidentified
Okay, you can't really.
joe rogan
You see what happened to other people.
No, look, my friends are my friends.
I vet my friends.
If you're my friend, that means I really fucking know you.
gina carano
I just don't have that many.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's hard to find that many.
gina carano
I don't really hang out in Hollywood all the time.
I'm not doing the schmoozing.
joe rogan
Well, listen, if I was an actor and if I was in Hollywood, I would have probably zero friends.
I'd have Chris Pratt would be my only friend.
gina carano
Has he been on here?
joe rogan
No, he hasn't.
But he will be, I'm sure.
I love that guy.
I'm friends with him.
I'm friend friends with him.
gina carano
Good.
He seems like a good one.
joe rogan
He's great.
He's my example.
Him and Scott Eastwood.
When people want to talk shit about actors, I'm like, let me tell you something.
Scott Eastwood is the normalist motherfucker.
His dad is one of the greatest movie stars of all time.
He's an iconic figure.
And Scott couldn't be more normal.
He'd be like a cousin.
This is my cousin Scott.
Like, hey, what's up?
You'd never think.
He's here now.
gina carano
Oh, he is?
joe rogan
He lives on here.
He lives in Austin.
unidentified
Oh, okay.
gina carano
Because he was always working out at...
I'm totally name-dropping my friend, Artem at the Boxing Works.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
unidentified
Okay.
San Diego?
gina carano
Yeah.
He'll appreciate that.
This will be all over on Instagram.
But he's this precious Russian guy who's just like...
joe rogan
He's a bad motherfucker.
gina carano
He's amazing.
He was a Muay Thai fighter.
Seeing him fight was so cool.
joe rogan
He was nasty.
I saw him fight live.
gina carano
Oh, you did?
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
gina carano
In LA. He's got that really sick kind of thing in you that...
I had a little bit.
It's just like when you get hit hard, then you just see red.
He had it more probably because he was just mean when he fought.
joe rogan
He was a bad motherfucker.
gina carano
Sean Yarbo was like that.
Sean Yarbo, that's another good friend of mine.
joe rogan
I remember when Artem fought Joe Schilling.
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
The big match in L.A. Yeah, yeah.
gina carano
They're friends now.
joe rogan
Yeah.
gina carano
Joe Schilling's awesome.
joe rogan
He's my fucking friend.
gina carano
I love how much he doesn't care.
joe rogan
He's the man.
He doesn't give a fuck.
gina carano
He doesn't.
joe rogan
He put a video up of him knocking out a guy in a bar.
Guy was an asshole in a bar.
The guy bowed up on him and he flatlined him in like two seconds.
gina carano
See, the problem is if I would have done that, I would have been in prison for five years because I just get in trouble like that.
joe rogan
Yeah, just say that.
But if it was some mouthy bitch, some Karen...
gina carano
I would be in prison.
Look, I am beep-bopping, booping people and losing jobs, okay?
So the second I get real serious about something...
joe rogan
If you were at a bar and there's a video of you trying to walk, excuse me, and you're walking and some bitch gets in your face, Fuck you, you fucking, fucking whore!
And you just crack her with an elbow and flatline her, people would think it was amazing.
gina carano
Yeah, but then I'd be in prison.
joe rogan
But it's a little different when girls beat up girls, right?
gina carano
Yeah, I don't know.
I used to get in fights.
I could never go out in Las Vegas when I was little without getting in a fight every weekend.
unidentified
Really?
joe rogan
When you were little?
gina carano
I think that's why I don't like to hang out very much.
unidentified
How old were you?
joe rogan
Like four, five?
gina carano
Yeah, I was like...
unidentified
I mean, when you say little, I think of little kids.
gina carano
I'm thinking like around 17, 18, 19. I used to get in fights a lot.
joe rogan
Were you training then?
gina carano
No, I wasn't training until I was, you know, I'm sure I did get into a couple of fights after I started training, but they had started to like go away by that time.
joe rogan
So you're getting in like unskillful training fights?
gina carano
No, like before, yeah, before it wasn't with any training.
I would just get like...
joe rogan
Just wild.
gina carano
Yeah, like, for some reason I'd go into a bar when I was like, you know, in Vegas.
Actually, you know, this had to be up until 21. So when did I start training?
I started training when I was 21. I met Kevin when I was 19. That's where I'm going wrong.
Because we got in a bunch of fights when we were younger.
We would get jumped at parties.
Really?
It was all the time in Vegas.
I don't know how anybody's ever escaped getting punched during a fight.
Like, we could not escape it.
joe rogan
Is Vegas just a wild place to grow up?
gina carano
I think it was then, and I think more people train now, so it's a little bit more risky.
Yeah, but when we were growing up, it was like, oh man.
joe rogan
Yeah, you pick a fight with a rando today, good luck.
unidentified
I don't pick a fight.
joe rogan
No, I know you wouldn't, but you can fight.
But I'm saying, if you're a person and you pick a fight with some rando, you might get fucked up.
You might run into the wrong dude.
gina carano
Yeah, everybody trains now.
joe rogan
Get your legs broken.
gina carano
Yeah, but then it wasn't like that, so we would go out and I'd just be sitting there doing nothing and some, it's always like the meanest, baddest bitch in the room would come up and be like, you know, you're looking at my boyfriend and I'd be like, you have a boyfriend?
Like, I don't think so.
I'm like, where is he?
And then, like, next, like, cut to in the parking lot, you know, like, wearing full white one time, I was wearing a white outfit, and I, like, got in this massive fight, and I mounted her and did all of that, and, you know, didn't even know what that was at the time, and then I come back in, my hair is a fro, and I've got, like, all of this asphalt down my, you know, nice white clothes, and I just, I don't know why it would always end up like that, but Me and Kevin jumped at a house party.
joe rogan
So it probably wasn't like a big surprise to some people that you went on to become an MMA fighter.
gina carano
Not my family.
My family just tried to make it not happen.
So my family, they're kind of well-known in Nevada.
When I had my first professional fight in MMA against Leticia Espistova, she didn't have any business being in there, but they didn't know that.
It was the first sanctioned fight in Las Vegas for women.
And I had my Papa Don and my dad, who used to be on the Athletic Commission back then.
joe rogan
Is Papa Don, is that like your grandpa?
gina carano
Yeah, my grandfather, my dad's dad.
And then my dad, who used to be on the athletic commission during when Tyson had his ear bitten off.
joe rogan
He bit off Holyfield's ear.
Yeah.
gina carano
Yeah, sorry, backwards.
So they called the Athletic Commission and they said, don't you dare let, both of them did, don't you dare let her fight.
And so all of the Athletic Commission guys, they're like, well, we can't stop her from doing this, you know, guys.
Like, it's, you know...
And so all of them for the rest of my fight career would come up and be like, hey, remember when we stood up against your family and we told them?
And eventually my dad did come around.
joe rogan
How many fights did you have?
gina carano
I had a total of, I think, 24. 12-1-1.
Do my math for me, 12-1-1 in Muay Thai and 7-1 in MMA. When do you think they accepted it?
joe rogan
Like how many fights did you have to have before they were on board?
gina carano
I think they saw the difference in my life.
You know, I lost 30 pounds immediately.
I wasn't partying.
I was dedicated.
I was traveling.
We went to Thailand a couple times.
I think after they saw the positive impact that it had on my life, then they were like, oh, this is way better than her faking going to college.
And so I think that's when, you know, It's really hard, and I'm sure you know, it's really hard to watch people that you love fight.
I turn into a complete nutcase.
unidentified
It's hard.
gina carano
I'm so glad Kevin doesn't fight anymore.
Cowboy Cerrone was in my movie recently, Terror on the Prairie, and it was going to be hard to watch him fight because you just care so much.
And it's hard to watch people you love fight.
So it was really hard.
My mom...
My mom would like, you know, take a Xanax, you know, and then she gave, one time she gave Kevin like a Xanax and then she gave him another one.
unidentified
So by the end, she's going to kill me for telling you this.
gina carano
By the end, you just see like Kevin was just like, like barely able to hold up his head.
He was like, and I was like, yay, I won.
This is so much fun.
joe rogan
That's hilarious.
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's hard to watch people you care about get hit.
unidentified
It's hot in here, right?
joe rogan
Is it?
gina carano
Aren't you?
unidentified
No.
gina carano
You're not hot?
joe rogan
No, I was in the cold plunge before I got here.
gina carano
Oh, okay.
I need to do that.
joe rogan
I do the cold plunge every day.
We have one here if you want to do it.
gina carano
Yeah?
joe rogan
Yeah.
gina carano
Since I'm going to go from this nice poncho to taking off.
joe rogan
Then you're going to want the poncho back.
gina carano
Can I have it?
I'll have some whiskey if it's okay with you.
joe rogan
Yeah, for sure.
gina carano
I heard that was the kind of thing.
joe rogan
Yeah, we do that.
We have a little booze.
gina carano
Thank you.
What kind is this?
joe rogan
Cheers.
gina carano
Cheers.
Thanks.
Thanks.
joe rogan
This is Buffalo Trace.
Real American whiskey.
gina carano
That's nice.
joe rogan
It's real shit.
From 1776. Or 1773, rather.
gina carano
You just got hardcore about your whiskey just now.
joe rogan
Yeah, they're older than the country.
This country.
This company, Buffalo Trace.
gina carano
Really?
Yeah.
Wow.
joe rogan
Older than the United States.
How about that?
gina carano
That's crazy.
joe rogan
Yeah, they're the longest continually operating distillery in the United States.
gina carano
That's very cool.
joe rogan
Yeah.
gina carano
Very cool.
Thank you very much.
joe rogan
They got a fucking buffalo on the bottle.
How do you not love them?
gina carano
So are you enjoying your move?
joe rogan
I love it here.
gina carano
Really?
Austin?
joe rogan
Yeah.
Yeah, this is where I assume my final form.
gina carano
You're staying here for...
joe rogan
I love it here.
Yeah, I love it here immediately.
Immediately.
I was like, this is better.
The problem with comedy, stand-up comedy being connected to Hollywood, is there's a bunch of problems.
One of the problems is the same thing that you experienced, is that there's a lot of cowards in that business.
unidentified
Damn.
gina carano
That's been heartbreaking to see.
unidentified
Sad.
joe rogan
They have to be cowards to exist in that system.
It's very difficult to stand up for what you actually believe and go against the grain because you won't get work.
gina carano
I was thinking that the Babylon Bee became super popular.
And why?
Why did they?
Because they weren't afraid to make jokes about the stuff that was happening.
And I feel like you would get canceled if you even toyed around with making a joke as a comedian during the last two and a half years.
unidentified
Sort of.
joe rogan
But not when you go to the clubs.
They fucking laugh hard.
People love the fact that comics are still doing real comedy.
But it was harder and harder to do it in LA because there were so many people that were just like mediocre comedians that were attacking good comics for telling daring jokes and pretending that jokes were in fact statements that you would make like on an affidavit or something.
Like pretending these people aren't just joking around.
And then it became, you know, this, This weird time where it's like people were digging their heels in the sand and they were dividing themselves from other people and attacking other comics.
gina carano
It's like this weird thing infected every avenue of being able to have freedom of thought, which comics are, I feel like they're the freest thinkers ever, right?
I feel like comedians are that avenue of like, hey, let's break free and think about things differently and joke about it.
And to not see those people stand up and kind of push against the cancel culture and push against the norm was really heartbreaking.
And as well as like rappers, like where was our rappers and where was our artists and our musicians at this time?
I feel like they all went quiet on us.
joe rogan
A lot of people got scared.
They got scared, first of all, because their livelihood was taken away.
They weren't allowed to work anymore, right?
So they got scared about that.
And then they wanted to get it back.
So there seemed to be a clear path to get it back.
Get everyone vaccinated.
We'd go back to work.
So there was like this path that everybody thought they were supposed to be on, you know?
And also it's like, it takes a lot of time to be actually informed.
To really be informed about what's going on.
When I start telling people about the history of the pharmaceutical companies and judgments against them, and when you find out that they knew that certain drugs were going to have adverse reactions but they were going to be very profitable, so they released them anyway and then they were fined billions of dollars and killed thousands and thousands of people directly because of their decisions.
People are like, what?
And then you show them the stories and the articles.
They're like, this is real?
How do I not know about this?
Because you watch fucking CNN and they're not going to tell you.
They're not going to let you know that this is an important part of the history of medical science in this country.
And there's a lot of people...
During that time, that just wanted to go back to work, and they wanted to do the right thing.
They wanted to be shown as being a person who did the right thing.
They wanted to take photos with them with a Band-Aid on their arm.
Look at me.
I have a Band-Aid on my arm.
I'm a good person.
gina carano
I should have just put a Band-Aid over their mouth.
joe rogan
Yeah, right.
They should have.
Well, they did that for a while, too.
Remember No Hate?
unidentified
No.
joe rogan
Remember that?
They asked me to do that.
They wanted me to be a part of their campaign.
I go, hey, I go, I will say no hate with my mouth.
I don't want to cover my mouth with duct tape.
This is not a smart move and write no hate on my face.
The fuck are we doing?
gina carano
Yeah.
And I think it's, well, hopefully the virtue signaling has had its day.
We're all exhausted over it.
joe rogan
It has, but it hasn't.
It's going to come in waves.
It's going to be like everything else.
gina carano
It's going to be like COVID. I'm just going to stock up in as much whiskey as possible and be on a ranch in Montana is what I'm going to do.
Montana's where I want to go.
joe rogan
I love Montana.
gina carano
I love it.
joe rogan
Did you go there to film that movie?
gina carano
So this is what happened.
This is actually crazy.
So I was like, I can't stay in California anymore.
Basically, I think what you did too, you're just like done, right?
With California.
Is that right?
joe rogan
Yeah.
gina carano
Yeah.
So I was just done.
I was like, I can't.
I feel classiphobic there.
So I lived in Hermosa Beach.
It was an amazing place.
But as soon as my cancellation happened, I mean, I had reporters showing up.
I had drones looking into my, you know, my place because it looked out onto the ocean and there was drones popping up.
There was people.
I didn't live in a gated community.
And so there was like people in vans and there was people Following me to places, and I was just very exposed, which was very dangerous of Disney to have made the comment they did.
joe rogan
What did they say?
gina carano
They said, basically, I mean, we could look it up.
We do not support Gina.
We're not going to work with her anymore based off of her information.
Something about cultural and religious differences or something like that.
Basically calling me a racist and that I'm not accepting of other people's, you know, lifestyles.
joe rogan
That doesn't have anything to do with what you said.
That's what's so crazy.
You literally were saying the opposite.
You were trying to unite people.
gina carano
Yes, I was.
I was trying to say, neighbors don't hate neighbors.
It didn't really come off like I thought it was, and I'll be more sensitive to that in the future, of course.
But I thought it was something that everybody could get on board with.
But they had a target on me.
joe rogan
They decided that you were right-wing.
They decided you were a Trump supporter.
gina carano
In reality, reality it's like, I just am like open-minded being new to the political spectrum.
I don't know even how, I don't know how conservative I really am.
You know, I don't know how...
joe rogan
Well, I bet you're pretty socially liberal.
gina carano
Yeah, I don't know how Republican I am.
I don't even know what those really mean and I don't really like labels.
I just know that certain people seem to be making more sense and more common sense and other people just seem to be...
Spewing out a lot of hate.
And for this moment in time, I will definitely be voting a certain way because these people are making sense.
The second those people decide that they want a power trip and not make any sense, I promise you I'll be the first one that says, this doesn't make any sense.
And I feel like that makes me somewhere in the middle.
joe rogan
Yeah, I think that's most people.
gina carano
And so I had all these really scary incidences with stalkers.
And as soon as I got canceled, I lost all my hearing.
My hearing just went away.
What?
Yeah, I don't know.
Just from stress?
Apparently that's not a thing.
joe rogan
It must be a thing.
gina carano
It had to have been because as soon as it happened, I had earmuffs on me.
joe rogan
So it was 90% of your hearing?
gina carano
Yeah, like 95. I couldn't hear anything.
And Kevin would be like...
I had a nervous...
My body reacted, I do feel.
So I had to have Kevin make me an ear doctor.
You know, get me in as soon as possible.
Yeah, and that was in five days.
So I had to stay...
Being canceled.
I couldn't talk to anybody on the phone.
I just barely got Ben Shapiro on the phone that night, but I was still kind of like, what?
Trying to hear everything he says, and everything past that had to be over text message, and I couldn't talk to my family.
And so we got into the ear doctor, and...
It's like a massive waiting room, and I'm like, can't hear myself say my name, you know?
So I'm just like sliding over, and I don't want to say my name because I'm trending on Twitter, and I'm like, just a packed room of people.
joe rogan
I'm trending on Twitter!
I don't want to say my name because I'm trending on Twitter.
gina carano
So I was like, Gina Carano?
I imagine I was like, really, she's like, what?
unidentified
I was like...
gina carano
I was like, the name's on here.
I can't hear myself say my name.
Can you just look at it?
And she's like, oh!
And I could see her say, Gina Carano.
unidentified
And I was like, oh, fuck me.
joe rogan
This is bad.
gina carano
And she's like, we don't have you.
And I'm trying to get on a plane by Friday.
She's like, we don't have you in the system until next month.
And I was like, oh, my God.
I've got paparazzi chairs chasing me around the freaking parking lot waiting for me downstairs.
And so I was crying and I was texting my manager.
I'm like, please just get me into a specialist.
I obviously need to get this interview with Ben Shapiro over.
You can't fly when your ears are like that.
First of all, I about faced the paparazzi in the parking lot.
I was so mad.
I'm lucky I didn't get hurt.
But I got behind them and I was taking pictures of them.
Like a psychopath.
unidentified
And I was like...
Jesus.
gina carano
And then they ran off that way and I lost them because they had to speed off that way.
And so I went to a quick care and I'm sitting there just crying in the parking lot like, this is awful.
What if this is permanent?
By the sixth day of this, you feel like this might be permanent and you're never going to hear again.
joe rogan
Six days of that?
gina carano
Yeah.
unidentified
How long did it ultimately last?
gina carano
I went into the quick care.
So I've got an appointment with the specialist.
I went into the quick care and there was a sweet, sweet little like gay guy who's just like, oh honey, and I could see his, I could, you know, all the, oh honey, it's okay.
That's what he looked like.
And I was like, is this permanent?
You know, and he's like, you just got a little wax in there.
And I'm like, wax?
He's like, yeah, you'll be fine.
That's how like quiet it was to me, you know, and I was like, Gosh, I can be normal today.
And they just went in and flushed it out.
And it was like, hearing never felt so strong in my life.
And it was hurting my ears because everything I could hear.
joe rogan
That was an urgent care?
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
They did that?
They just cleaned your ear?
gina carano
They just take that, like, you know, the teardrop thing.
Yeah, they have to put something in there.
And so I was like, oh my gosh, how ridiculous.
I've been stressed out for six days over wax.
joe rogan
So you just grew extra wax when you got stressed out?
unidentified
I don't know.
gina carano
I had a surgery done when I was really little because I think there's like the tubes in your ears or something like that.
I don't know.
So my ears, it's really funny.
My mouth, my nose, and my ear holes, this is going to sound weird, are really tiny.
And so when I eat sushi, I have to bite it in half.
joe rogan
Because of the wasabi?
gina carano
No, because the freaking massive, they're huge.
joe rogan
Oh, so your mouth hole is too small.
gina carano
Yeah.
When I had mouth guards made for me, they said I'd have to do the child one.
unidentified
Oh, really?
gina carano
Yeah.
And then when I cry, it doesn't come out my nose holes.
This is such a weird...
joe rogan
When you cry?
gina carano
Yeah, when I cry...
joe rogan
Like snot doesn't come out of your nose?
gina carano
Yeah, so it goes back down into my throat.
joe rogan
Oh, so you start like...
gina carano
Yeah, so I choke.
I can't cry too hard or else it'll build up in my throat and I'm choking and spitting out.
joe rogan
That's hilarious.
Did you ever have to get your nose done after fighting so you could breathe again?
unidentified
No.
gina carano
Actually, no.
I got in a fight at a hotel once and I got headbutted right here.
I don't know if you can see.
It's a little intense.
joe rogan
Pre-fight career or post-fight career?
gina carano
That was probably right when I had started training career, when I was 21. You got head-butted?
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's a risky move.
gina carano
Yeah, well, there was just heads flying everywhere, and I was at a hotel.
At the Peppermint Hotel in Reno.
joe rogan
Gina, you lived a wild-ass life.
gina carano
I know.
joe rogan
You seem so calm.
I can't imagine you getting so many street fights.
gina carano
I know.
unidentified
I'm just...
gina carano
I don't know.
I never picked one.
I don't pick fights.
I'm not good at that.
But I'm not afraid to obviously fight, you know?
People don't believe that.
When I tell people in the industry who don't know who I am, they're like, no, you didn't used to do that.
And I'm like, yeah.
joe rogan
Google me, bitch.
gina carano
Google me.
unidentified
Kind of a big deal, Debra.
gina carano
It does feel like a lifetime ago.
I miss it.
joe rogan
When you were thinking about coming back, I remember there was that conversation with you.
There was a potential comeback fight with Rhonda.
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
How serious was that?
gina carano
It was very serious.
joe rogan
What stopped it from happening?
gina carano
So, I'm living in LA. I used to train out of Randy Couture's in Vegas.
And I had my whole group there, right?
I had Scott Berry, Jiu Jitsu.
I don't know where he went.
I think he's like disappeared into the woods or something.
unidentified
Remember?
gina carano
On the mat.
joe rogan
Yeah.
gina carano
Yeah, he used to own that store in Las Vegas.
Yeah.
Him and his brother.
I don't know where he is.
He's like a mountain man now.
Chris Ben, he's a boxing coach.
Used to be an LV boxing coach.
Still, you'll see him.
Yeah, he's pretty great.
So I had my whole team in Vegas.
So when Dana White and Lorenzo, they invited me out, finally like, you know, this had to have been like five years ago.
They said, hey, we'd like to offer you a million dollar fight with Rhonda.
And I was like, damn, what took you guys so long?
What I told Dana and Lorenzo at that time was, you know, I don't have a team.
I don't even have an idea of a team.
I don't have a gym.
I don't think me and Kevin were together at that time.
I didn't have any connection into, you know, where I would do this fight camp.
And I knew, you know, with the weight and everything, it was going to take me a good time.
It would take me three months to get the weight stabilized, and then it would take me four months to actually be in, like, fight camp.
You know what I mean?
Just to get back into it.
I hadn't fought at that time in almost, like, a decade.
So I just asked Dana if he could just please keep it quiet.
You know, just don't bring up my name.
You know, give me the time to—a six-month time, and I—of course— That's reasonable.
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's not even reasonable.
You really need, like, a year, right?
gina carano
Well, yeah, but I was, you know, I felt like I could at that moment.
I felt like six months.
Well, Dana, you know, Dana.
He was like, and I've got Gina Crono, and it's going to be against Ron Rousey, and he started pumping it out on Twitter, and he pumped it out in the interviews, and I was like, whoa, whoa, like, calm down, like...
First of all, I don't even know who I'm going to train with.
So now you've made it harder for me to walk into a gym and just get comfortable with people because now everybody knows I'm looking for a team.
I'm looking for something.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
And it's going to be a very high profile.
gina carano
Yeah.
And so now it made everything so much more difficult.
And, you know, like, that's where we didn't get along for a second.
I was like, dude, like, quiet down.
If you just quiet down, I can find a team and I can get organized.
And then he said something pretty aggressive of our text messages.
I'm sure you know he does that.
And I was just like, okay, I'm not going to do that.
It was very simple for me.
That was going to be something for me.
And I was excited to be back in that world.
And I was excited to do something like that.
I respect Rhonda.
And I thought that was exciting.
But after, you just can't go back in that world and feel instantly disrespected on so many levels.
So I was like...
I'm cool I'm gonna go and then I think another movie came up and I was like sweet I'll just go do this movie then you know like I'm not gonna I don't need to be disrespected you know so that's that's how that story went.
joe rogan
Do you didn't have any inclination to have another fight you just wanted to have the Ronda Rousey fight?
gina carano
I mean, I think when you fight, you are constantly fighting.
I have a bag downstairs in my garage.
I'm on the treadmill and constantly fighting people in my head and having a comeback fight all the time.
joe rogan
How old are you now?
gina carano
I'm 40. Do you think you would still do it?
I mean, I still can't even say that I wouldn't, you know what I mean?
joe rogan
Because you know Rhonda said that you're the one.
gina carano
I know.
And honestly, I feel like she's the one as well if I wanted to, you know?
joe rogan
Let's go, ladies.
Let's fucking go.
If you wanted to do it...
gina carano
Get me a dietician because I have to either do that or chop off my entire leg.
joe rogan
I'm sure there's people...
She said she'd fight you at 205. I know.
gina carano
You know me, or you don't know me, but I would not.
It would be an equal-weighted, you know.
joe rogan
Oh, I'm sure.
I know.
gina carano
It would be professional.
I'm sure.
I have no interest in being, like, a...
joe rogan
If you wanted to do it, though, now is, like, last call.
gina carano
Yeah, and you know what?
When she said that, I'm like, you know, I'm so focused on my dreams in moviemaking, but I also...
I guess you just never lose that want to do it.
And for me, I've been looking for something to train for to get my body back and where I want it to be.
And so there's just been kind of this little thing on my shoulders like, well, you could train and you could get yourself where you want to be and use that as your focus for all that.
joe rogan
Where are you living now?
gina carano
I'm not going to say because of stalkers.
But there's a gym?
No, not where I'm at.
Not right now.
But I'm very mobile right now.
So when I moved out of Hermosa Beach, I'm trying to get away from all the madness, me and Kevin moved into an RV. Oh, really?
Yeah, do you know anything about RVs?
joe rogan
A little bit.
gina carano
So we got a new Mar, used the money from the house that we got, and bought an RV. And then we went across thinking that we were going to go shoot this movie called White Knuckle in Nashville.
Well, once I got to Nashville, they were like, you know, are you willing to play by the SAG rules and all of this?
And they could mandate it.
I was like, what does that mean?
And they said, basically, if SAG mandated the vaccines while we were shooting white knuckle, then anybody who wasn't vaccinated would have to get vaccinated.
And are you comfortable with that?
And I said, no, I'm not comfortable with that.
And that also means that we were probably only going to hire only vaccinated people.
And I thought that was like, wait, I thought I just got out of California.
And so then I was like, well shit, here we go.
I was like, what's the next option?
And is there another option?
I'm living in an RV at the moment.
And they were like, yeah, the next option is we instead go with the serial killer movie.
We'll put that to the side while the world kind of figures itself out.
And we'll go with a non-union Western, which ended up being Terror on the Prairie.
And so...
joe rogan
And this is the Daily Wire movie.
gina carano
Yeah.
So that's what ended me up in an RV. Now I'm kind of going in between places because I fell in love with Montana and I really want to end up there.
joe rogan
Were you there in the winter?
gina carano
Yeah, well, up in, yeah, through November.
joe rogan
Shit gets rugged in the winter.
gina carano
I love it.
joe rogan
It separates.
gina carano
I'm down for that.
The boys from the men, yeah.
joe rogan
Or the girls from the women.
gina carano
Yeah.
Actually, like, the women up there are so freaking, like, okay, I have to say...
joe rogan
They're capable.
gina carano
...in a very attractive way.
Like, these women are still so, like, beautifully, like, fem...
They're everything that I would think a woman should be.
Like, they're feminine.
But they'll get on their horse, they'll go on a camping trip, they'll go hunting, they'll make their own stuff, they barter in between neighbors, and I'm like, I think that's really sexy.
I want to be a Montana woman.
But I also want to direct and I also want to give people like Cowboy Cerrone or like people that I can see have that magical something and I want to continue making art and movies.
joe rogan
So this movie Terror on the Prairie, this Daily Wire movie, has it been released yet?
gina carano
Yes.
joe rogan
It's on the website?
unidentified
Yes.
gina carano
You were kind of a big deal about that.
They're like, we're going to have the movie out once Cowboy fights, which didn't happen.
joe rogan
Which didn't happen.
It'd be crazy.
Two times in a row.
unidentified
I know.
gina carano
Dana White's just like, it's over.
It's done.
We're not going to even try anymore.
joe rogan
I don't know why they don't try one more time.
gina carano
Yeah.
I mean, I don't know.
Cowboy's going to do what he's going to do, but I think he really is interested and in love with movie making right now.
joe rogan
Well, there's something about him.
I mean, I watched some clips.
He's so authentic, right?
And that comes across.
His face is the face of a man who's lived a hardscrabble life.
I mean, he's been fighting for a long fucking time.
You can see it in his nose.
There's like a character in his eyes that I think would translate fantastic.
gina carano
And that's what I saw.
joe rogan
Yeah, look at that.
gina carano
I mean, he's so...
Not a great picture of me, but great of him.
Well, I always get the awful ones.
He is so...
joe rogan
I love that dude.
gina carano
I know.
He is so authentic.
And so they had to, like, you know, because I'm a producer on this movie, they had all of the auditions of all the guys come in, and, you know, we're watching all their tapes, and I feel like Hollywood kind of gets a little too rehearsed, which is uninteresting.
You know, somebody's an actor.
And so I just felt like, well, we're doing this Western.
I've got a guy who I think would pop on film.
And it was a really big...
Like, I had to fight for him to get this role.
And they were like...
They're like, well, we love his look and we love his reach.
But, like, how is he going to be on film?
And I was like, I believe in him.
I believe he's going to kill it.
And sure enough, you know...
He's such a shit, too.
He comes to set and he just gives you the hardest time.
And it's all directed at me, too.
He talks so much shit to me on this.
I mean, the outtakes gotta be so funny.
But he's brilliant.
He's so vulnerable.
joe rogan
Yeah.
gina carano
Just how he fights, you know, like he's a vulnerable person.
You never know how it's going to go sometimes, you know, with Cowboy, what emotion he's going to be in.
With acting, he was just, one time I came to set and he was all like, just like sitting down and like glaring at me.
And I'm like, what the, what, Cowboy?
And he's like, nothing.
And I'm like, oh, you think we're doing this scene where we're actually fighting or in a fight in like a couple's fight?
I was like, that's not the scene.
The scene is me and you actually getting along this time.
And he was like, Oh, we are?
And I'm like, yeah, we get along in this scene.
And all of a sudden, he turns into this loving guy.
And I'm like, oh, God.
joe rogan
He's method.
gina carano
He's method.
He doesn't know this, but he is a little bit method.
Oh, that's hilarious.
But he's brilliant.
He's really good on film.
And I think that I want to do that more with people.
joe rogan
Is this movie going to be theatrically released?
gina carano
It's on the Daily Wire.
joe rogan
Only on the Daily Wire?
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
What about, like, is it going to be on any of the streaming platforms or anything like that?
gina carano
No, what the Daily Wire is trying to do is they're trying to draw as many eyeballs to their platform.
The more subscriptions they get based off of some of the stuff, the more they'll do it more.
And so this is, you know...
joe rogan
It's very interesting because what they're doing is they're creating a right-wing alternative.
They're doing stand-up comedy, they're doing podcasts, they're doing all these different things.
Ben's a pretty fucking brilliant guy.
gina carano
He's amazing.
joe rogan
It's really interesting.
As a business model, there is a market for that.
People are tired of being spoon-fed one ideology.
gina carano
And the thing is, if you look at our movie, it's not political.
joe rogan
Yeah.
gina carano
It's just...
joe rogan
Just a movie.
gina carano
It tried to be as, you know, just a genuine Western.
It really tries to be just what it is, a Western.
joe rogan
What is it like doing a film where it's going to be released in this, like, one part of the world?
Because it's like...
That movie is not likely going to get seen by people that are on the left.
It's very unusual in that.
Even though it's not a political movie, it's in kind of a political category because it's on the Daily Wire.
gina carano
I think, once again, I think I'm at the beginning of something.
Just with the female fighting, I was at the beginning of something.
And people didn't take it seriously, and then all of a sudden we're creeping up and getting, you know, all of a sudden now look at female fighting, right?
unidentified
Mm-hmm.
gina carano
So that is a similar feeling that I have here.
And, you know, for me, doing art is just, you know, you know, doing movies is just what I want to do.
So it's cool.
It's cool that it's a start of a big movement.
And hopefully that will translate to making more people be able to have jobs, actors.
And it just I don't think a little competition hurts anyone.
joe rogan
No, I mean, look, the movie's good.
I mean, it's not bad for anybody.
gina carano
Oh, did you watch it?
joe rogan
No, I haven't seen it.
That's why I asked you if it was out.
gina carano
Oh, right, right.
Yeah, it's out.
joe rogan
Is it a thing where you feel like...
It's not like it's going to pigeonhole you into only doing movies for, like, right-wing people.
gina carano
No, I don't think so.
I think...
I'm really bad at standing in boxes anyways, obviously.
My thing is art.
I just want to do art.
I want to make movies.
I want to direct produce.
That's my love.
That's my fight right now.
However that comes about, I have gotten a bunch of offers to be in Some films but I just don't have the energy to do things that I'm not passionate about that I don't believe in like the You know, I don't believe in the story I don't believe I it doing independent movies or any movie or any show takes so much work and so much out of you you have to be ready to sit down with that job for you know a year and a half two years and I just can't give myself and exhaust myself
like that unless I'm obsessed with it.
And once I'm obsessed with it, then it'll be amazing.
joe rogan
So has this slowed down the offers that you're getting, the being canceled out of The Mandalorian?
gina carano
Well, as soon as I got canceled, as soon as Disney put out that, I feel like that very awful statement, that's defamation, if anything.
That same day, my UTA, my agency, dropped me.
Yeah, dropped me.
And my 10-year-long lawyers dropped me because now no money is going to be...
Yeah, I got canceled almost.
I think it's one of the worst cancellations in Hollywood history, which is what everybody saw.
joe rogan
I think that is wild that your agency dropped you for that.
Because this is not...
What you said, if you look at what you actually said and you show it, it's not that bad.
gina carano
Well, and also my agents are like, you know, they've got James Franco.
They didn't ever drop.
You know, they've got, you know, these people have got like, they made such an example.
They try to make an example out of me and they just made an example out of themselves.
Like, why did they come down so hard on me?
I've got toys, you know, these little like Mandalorian toys.
They canceled them.
They ripped them off the shelves.
Toy companies.
All for what?
joe rogan
Because you represented Trump.
gina carano
I wasn't even representing Trump.
What I didn't like about that is I'm representing being able to vote and have that be okay.
joe rogan
I know that's what you represent personally, but what you represent to them was Trump.
gina carano
Well, that's their problem.
joe rogan
But it's also they're sending a signal by getting rid of you to everybody else that doesn't support the ideology.
There's a very strong left-wing, progressive ideology that's captured Hollywood.
gina carano
And they just ended up showing their cards.
joe rogan
But do you know of anybody?
I mean, Chris Pratt, but other than him, who's successful that's not on board with all that shit?
gina carano
I mean, a lot of people now come up to me.
There's not actually anybody that didn't see what happened to me and comes up to me in person in this business and out that has been like, yeah, that was cool.
They just say, man, you got railroaded and we're really sorry.
Like, that sucks.
joe rogan
Well, you certainly did get railroaded, but what I'm saying is there's not a lot of political diversity in Hollywood.
gina carano
There is, but they're staying very quiet.
joe rogan
Yeah, but that's not real then.
What they think of as the political ideology that's acceptable in Hollywood is hardcore left.
gina carano
Has it always been like this?
No.
I never knew that it was an okay to...
I thought, once you say that you vote, then you...
I mean, I've been seeing the other...
I've been seeing the left, like, rage against this president, President Trump.
Like, death threats and all this crazy aggressive stuff, you know, and it was completely acceptable.
joe rogan
Yeah.
gina carano
And now it's like, I voted.
unidentified
Yeah.
gina carano
And it's like, get her out of here!
And I'm like...
It's a first-time vote, and I just think that, you know, like, we should all be okay with, you know, when you sign on to be an actress, you don't sign your rights away, and I feel like that's when you feel like your country is going through a really dark phase of cancel culture that's going to lead to a social credit system that's going to lead to, you know, people undeservingly losing their jobs and pressure and real bullying, then I feel like it's okay to say something.
joe rogan
It should be okay to say something.
It used to be okay to be a right-wing person in Hollywood.
I mean, look at Bruce Willis, look at Sylvester Stallone or Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Those guys were all thought of as like right-wing guys.
gina carano
Oh, I didn't know.
joe rogan
Yes.
I mean, Arnold Schwarzenegger was the governor of California as a Republican.
gina carano
Oh, was he?
joe rogan
Yeah, Gray Davis got recalled.
Gray Davis got recalled.
Arnold took over.
And he was a Republican.
gina carano
Oh, I thought he was a Democrat.
Oh, okay.
joe rogan
No, no.
gina carano
He is now, though.
He's a massive...
joe rogan
He's an actor.
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know, that's what he is.
It's like, you know, when he was like, fuck your freedoms.
gina carano
Oh, yeah, that was awful.
joe rogan
Come on, man.
But that's a lot of old people.
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
Old people get goofy.
They get scared.
They got real scared with the vaccines and the masks and all that stuff.
gina carano
And that's okay.
joe rogan
Because it's more of an existential threat to them.
It's a real threat to them.
22-year-old people did not freak out too much about COVID. 22-year-old gym rats were not freaking out about COVID. Those are the least vulnerable.
Who's the most vulnerable?
Older folks.
So a guy like him.
gina carano
And I still don't think, like, you know, Whoopi Goldberg came out and said something super aggressive on The View about the Holocaust and about Jewish people, and it was, like, far more, like, crazy aggressive than anything.
joe rogan
But I don't think it was aggressive.
It was just ignorant.
gina carano
It was just...
unidentified
That was not- Factually incorrect.
gina carano
Right.
You know what she got?
joe rogan
Provably factually.
She got suspended for a couple weeks.
gina carano
She got a slap on the hand.
joe rogan
Yeah.
gina carano
And I'm not trying to call myself Whoopi Goldberg or anything.
I know what you're saying.
The rules are not applying to both sides, basically.
joe rogan
No.
No, they're definitely not.
gina carano
And they're showing us that, and it's pretty aggressive.
I think that there is room for healing.
I'd hope so, or else we're just going to stay in this hateful place.
So I'd hope that people start breaking down what's really going on here and learn to have conversations.
And I do think that by Trump not having the ability to act like presidential hurt in a way that...
We need to see our leaders be able to embrace the conversation, embrace debating, and it's funny as hell.
I think he was hilarious, but when he's sitting there in the debates, he's calling names.
It's not really setting an example of how we can debate, how we all need to be talking together.
So that, I think, was a problem.
But I also think, geez, man, what they were coming after him with, if he didn't say the aggressive stuff that he did, did he even have a chance in hell of surviving that?
I don't know.
joe rogan
When you get to a certain point, I think...
There's a problem in this country when you can't have differing opinions.
We have to be able to debate and have differing opinions.
But someone like Trump is so polarizing that he makes having an opinion that's different If you have an opinion that's different than what the Democrats have or left-wing people have, you're connected to Trump.
That's the problem with Trump.
The problem with Trump is not even necessarily his policy.
The problem is his personality.
You can't have that kind of personality and be a leader.
You can't be a leader that battles people on Twitter and calls your ex-girlfriend horseface.
That is not...
It's funny.
unidentified
Who did he do that to?
joe rogan
One of them ladies that was accusing him of having sex.
gina carano
Well, I look at...
joe rogan
Stormy Daniels.
gina carano
I look at what we're going through now, and I look back at some of his interviews, and I think he was a comedian.
joe rogan
Oh, he's definitely a comedian.
He's got great timing.
gina carano
And I also think that what he did was he broke the back of major news media.
I think that should be one of his proudest points, is that he broke them over his knee.
And he should be very proud of that.
joe rogan
Well, he definitely exposed the holes in the way they do it.
That strategy that they have of just only relying on him as a bad guy and attacking him for ratings.
When you saw when he got out of office and CNN's ratings dropped like 40% instantly, it's like, whoa, MSNBC, same deal.
gina carano
It's going to be like that for a long time.
I just didn't think it was...
Who knows what he was dealing with, right?
joe rogan
Do you get offers now to do mainstream movies again?
Or has it come back around at all?
gina carano
It's not really, because I don't have that agency.
joe rogan
Do you have another agency now?
gina carano
No, I'm kind of just rolling solo for a little bit.
I'm a little bit scarred from the system.
I do think it would be nice to find somebody to kind of field some of these calls, but for right now, I'm really focused on creating and owning content myself.
You know, so things have a way of working themselves out.
I'm not, like...
I'm not too worried about it.
I just know I want to be surrounded with better people in the future, people that aren't just going to jump ship the second.
That made them kind of look bad more than anything.
joe rogan
No, it's terrible.
It's terrible.
There's a fucking real problem when someone can't express an opinion in a clumsy way.
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
Because that's part of being a human being, especially part of being a human being who's not a professional speech maker.
gina carano
Right.
joe rogan
It's not like you wrote all that stuff down and thought about it and vetted it and then posted it on Instagram.
No, it's just like you with your phone.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
Saying, hey, we're kind of fucked right now.
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
This used to be bad.
This is how people used to treat people in Nazi Germany.
gina carano
Yeah.
They're like, kill her!
unidentified
No!
gina carano
What did you get cancelled for?
unidentified
Telling neighbors not to hate each other because of differing opinions.
gina carano
What I also like to do on my social media is I like to put out memes.
I like to put out quotes.
I like to put out things that a lot of the media would put on me what they thought I meant by it.
When in reality, I mean, because they wrote that up as, you know, conservatives are, she's comparing herself to, she's comparing conservatives to the Jewish people in the Holocaust.
That's not how I read that.
And all of them wrote up the, you know, the articles on that that said that's what I was doing.
What I was saying is, let's maybe talk to each other.
unidentified
And so it doesn't get to a place that's, you know, The idea that it can't get to a place like that again is so ignorant.
joe rogan
People are so silly.
This mindset that we're past the Holocaust.
We're not if you're in North Korea.
We're not if you're in China and you're a Uyghur Muslim.
There's parts of the world right now that are under the thumb of a horrendous dictatorship.
gina carano
Well, look at Canada.
unidentified
Yeah, it's wild.
Holy shit.
gina carano
You can't be a trucker in Canada and you can't...
unidentified
Well, you can.
joe rogan
You just have to do everything Trudeau says.
gina carano
Oh, man.
joe rogan
Or you're a misogynist and a racist.
gina carano
Oh, man.
joe rogan
When he said that, a lot of them are racist and misogynist.
Show me some fucking evidence.
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
You're just saying that because they don't want you to be able to enforce medical mandates?
gina carano
Dude, the way that guy talks, okay.
He creeps me out.
I would do a fight in three months with that man.
joe rogan
Have you ever seen the fucking photos of him?
gina carano
Him fighting?
joe rogan
No, comparison to Castro?
gina carano
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
The big rumor is that his mother slept with Castro.
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
And I'm like, get out of here.
And then you see pictures of him next to Castro at various stages of Castro's life and his life, and you're like, holy shit!
If that's not true, what a coincidence!
Have you seen it?
gina carano
We should definitely agree.
joe rogan
Yeah, pull up the photos comparing Justin Trudeau to Castro.
gina carano
I just don't like the way he talks.
The way he talks is like, well, you know, just like, oh my gosh, man.
joe rogan
No, he's a fake smart person.
That's what he is.
He's a fake smart person.
gina carano
I hope it's coming to him, though.
joe rogan
There's a series of images that show him next to Castro.
Yeah, that's a good one.
Like, look at that.
I mean, what the fuck?
How much more evidence do you need?
Make that a little bit bigger.
Listen, if I was a betting man, if I was a betting man, I'm pushing all my fucking chips in on the Castro.
Come on.
I mean, Jesus Christ.
Maybe it's a coincidence.
We investigated those damning rumors about Fidel Castro being Justin Trudeau's real dad.
2018, they did this.
gina carano
Aren't they losing the power of press there as well?
joe rogan
What's that?
unidentified
2016?
joe rogan
Oh.
gina carano
I feel really awful for what Canada is going through.
joe rogan
I have a lot of friends in Canada trying to get out now.
gina carano
I mean, people are escaping, right?
joe rogan
Yeah, they're trying to get out.
Well, they were under medical apartheid.
I mean, that's what it is.
Apartheid is like forced separation.
gina carano
And they did the most—you know, and here's—so the truckers went out, and it was obviously like they had bouncy, jumpy gyms, and they had their children out, and it was obvious that they weren't going to burn down any cities, right?
And I think that that's where I kind of, like, I learned something with the protests that were happening with the BLM riots and everything.
I was like, oh, okay, so this is why they do that.
This is why this happens, is to put the fear of God in the government, right?
Right.
So the Canadian government was not worried about these truckers burning down anything.
joe rogan
No, but he was worried about it looking bad and losing power and then losing elections.
That's what he was worried about.
gina carano
Yeah.
So my point there is I was a little bit unaware of why people would do that and cause such a scene and hurt so much of these cities.
And now I understand why they do it.
Not to say that I would ever encourage that, but I understand why.
Because after just looking at the trucker movement and how disrespected they got, it was like, dude, if they were a bigger threat down there, that wouldn't have been the case.
joe rogan
You know, who knows?
I mean, Canada is very different than the United States because it's much harder to get a firearm, much harder to get a handgun.
gina carano
Even harder now.
joe rogan
Yeah.
gina carano
Which for me is like, God, like I feel safer with my guns, you know?
I don't have the money for all that security that they have.
I have to, you know, feel comfortable and safe.
joe rogan
Well, that's what's crazy.
It's like they have armed guards.
If you really think that no one should have a gun, then maybe your guard shouldn't have guns either.
And by the way, criminals are still going to have the guns, but your guards won't.
Because that's how it goes when you change laws like that.
You would want to stop mass shootings.
Everybody wants to stop mass shootings.
You want to keep guns out of the hands of crazy people.
Everybody wants to keep guns out of the hands of crazy people.
But when you're doing a thing because you think that the ideology that you support wants to do that thing, whether or not it's rational or reasonable, like if you say everyone has to give their guns up, that's it.
But this country's had enough.
Criminals are not going to do that.
And we all know that.
And if you say that, people will get angry at you.
Like, you're a part of the problem.
No, I'm just being honest.
This is just my honest assessment of what I think criminals do.
They generally break laws, and when you have a law that says that you can't have a gun anymore, that's 100% a law they're going to break.
gina carano
Right.
Well, they're going to create a lot more criminals, let's just say, because a lot of people aren't going to give up their crimes.
joe rogan
That too.
You're going to make criminals.
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Look, it's a scary time for this country, but through scary times is how we sort things out and figure out what we should and shouldn't be doing.
gina carano
And so I feel like, what should we do then?
We should have definitely more conversations like this, but what else can we do?
Because I feel like I'm always complaining.
I'm never offering enough...
joe rogan
Time will sort it out.
gina carano
No.
joe rogan
That's going to happen.
Through social media and through what's going on here, but through brave people, you know, through brave people like yourself, people that have to have these conversations, maybe forced into these conversations.
If Elon Musk buys Twitter, that will have a massive impact.
gina carano
Do you think it's happening?
joe rogan
I think it's happening, yeah.
That will have a massive impact because...
gina carano
I feel like me and Elon Musk are in this really fun little, like, meme war that he doesn't know about.
joe rogan
You're in a meme war?
gina carano
No, not war.
He puts out a meme.
Because my name has been associated with his a lot as people who are standing up against this thing.
joe rogan
Are there memes with you guys together?
gina carano
No, no.
Memes like who's got the best meme kind of thing.
I'm sure the rest of Twitter thinks that they're in that kind of competition as well.
But we should tell Elon Musk, I'm in a meme battle with you.
joe rogan
The problem with Twitter is Twitter is they without doubt have shadow banned people.
They without doubt have silenced people.
They without doubt have banned people for having a different ideology than they do.
And they, without doubt, let people say horrendous, awful things to people that are conservative because they think it's okay.
They're not even in the way they decide what is acceptable or unacceptable.
It definitely crosses ideological boundaries.
There's an ideological box that you can operate in where you can say some pretty fucking horrendous shit, but if you say horrendous shit to people that you think are against trans rights, you could say that.
If you say horrendous shit to people that are anti-vaccine, you're allowed to say that.
You're allowed to mock their deaths.
You're allowed to hope they die.
You're allowed to say all kinds of terrible things.
gina carano
You're allowed to let it trend on Twitter and take somebody's job.
I mean, I worked 10 years in fighting and I worked 10 years in acting.
I never have had a handout.
I've never compromised myself.
I've done nothing but like...
Show up to set and absolutely give every part of me to that movie or that show and with my full heart, you know.
Meanwhile, I've got co-stars that aren't even allowed to come to set unless they have two security guards.
I mean, the shit I've seen, like, I'm a good person to work with and because I didn't toe the line in the narrative, I lose everything and I have to start from scratch and Well, you could probably have said that, what you said, at any other time in history, and people would have kind of understood what you were doing.
joe rogan
But post-Trump, the world is...
Like, if you said that in 2014, I think people would have disagreed with you on certain aspects of it.
Maybe people would have complained, but I don't think you would have gotten fired.
I think it's a post-Trump reality.
gina carano
Yeah.
And I think we need to...
Like, when I was voting, I didn't like the word, you know, like, I didn't like the word Trumper.
You know what I mean?
I felt like that was kind of counterproductive to, I'm voting conservative.
And it's nothing against Trump.
It's just, I felt like it was counterproductive to, like, you know, oh, okay, you're Democrat, you're Republican.
Once you start putting these like names on people, it becomes like they become less human and you're able to demonize them more.
And that's something that I feel like I was like, you know, let's not call each other.
You know, I don't think Biden's or I hate they don't have one.
They don't have one for Biden.
joe rogan
Was there an Obama-er?
There was not like Obama people.
gina carano
Well, see, when Obama came into power, I was like, that's cool.
He seems like he's a well-spoken dude that's gonna...
Because I didn't know anything about politics, so I didn't know how he was affecting the world.
And so I didn't start paying attention.
I was just happy that...
joe rogan
He was a statesman.
He's a perfect representative of what you want from a president.
gina carano
Yeah, so I didn't even vote in the Hillary Clinton and the Trump, the first one.
I was like, I'm not popping my cherry there.
unidentified
Okay.
gina carano
I'm not popping my cherry on that vote.
I'm just going to stay out of that.
It didn't seem like a good idea.
But when it came to the Biden and Trump, I was like, our country is going to be so hurting after we get done locking it down like we did.
And all of the emotions and all of this.
We need a powerful person to bring us back.
They're trying to push all of this agenda stuff that is really collapsing our economy right now.
The Biden administration is like, he could have really just brought back the country and then done that.
He's hitting us hard two times.
The recovery from COVID-19 and then switching everything over into this green energy agenda, right?
So it's like, we're getting hit twice.
With the gas and everything.
It's like, we're getting hit so hard.
He could have made himself a hero.
Come back, bring the economy back.
joe rogan
I think he has very little to do with what happens day to day.
gina carano
So there's somebody behind it.
joe rogan
There's probably quite a few people.
And it's on purpose.
There's people that are doing it because it's profitable for them.
It's beneficial for them.
And they're realizing now that it's not.
This is one of the reasons why they're trying to move closer to the center.
And because they're realizing that this sort of radical left ideology is pushing more people to the right.
Because it really is.
gina carano
Who are these people, do you think?
joe rogan
What people?
gina carano
The people you're talking about.
joe rogan
The people that are in control of everything, these are what you would call deep state.
These are lifelong politicians that don't get elected.
They're not really politicians.
They're people in government positions.
If you think about anybody in the intelligence agencies, people that are in the Pentagon, these people, they don't get elected.
This is not like people you get to vote for.
You don't get to vote for who decides to take us to...
Well, you kind of do in that it's a president.
The president is the commander-in-chief, but the influencers, the people that step in and try to manipulate things to get us to do one thing or the other thing based on the amount of money that they're getting from these special interest groups.
gina carano
And so these people, are they heads of corporations?
joe rogan
There's a lot of that, too.
There's a lot of the pharmaceutical drug companies, oil companies, energy companies.
What they're trying to do is maximize their profits, right?
That's what all these companies that are...
There's no reason for them to be investing in politicians if it's not profitable.
gina carano
In the world economic form, then?
joe rogan
That's bizarre.
That's the most bizarre one.
The fucking dude who dresses like Darth Vader?
unidentified
Klaus Schwab from the World Economic Forum.
gina carano
He can be in one of my movies.
He can bring his own wardrobe.
joe rogan
That motherfucker is wild.
He's like a bad guy in a movie.
gina carano
Well, and then you can have Justin Trudeau and Gavin Newsom right there with them.
And it's like you got a full on...
unidentified
This is an opportunity for the great reset.
gina carano
Do you believe in the great reset?
joe rogan
I don't know what it means.
He wrote a book on it.
It's a real thing.
It's a real idea.
What does it mean, though?
I'd really have to go deep into the economics of it to understand it.
gina carano
That'll be the next book.
joe rogan
That seems like I'm exhausted already just thinking about doing that.
I think these motherfuckers want to control as much as they can, and I think they would love to have a digital currency that's centralized, a controllable digital currency like they have in China attached to a social credit score.
So if they have a social credit score system, they can decide, hey, Gina, you're stepping out of line.
I don't think you should be able to buy a house.
And they'll deny you a loan.
And that is the kind of shit that is 100% going on right now in China.
gina carano
And so how do we, like, let's offer some options.
How do we shake free of this?
joe rogan
Well, I think that's one of the reasons why they hate things like crypto.
And you and me.
Cryptocurrencies are decentralized, and the government doesn't have control over them.
They can't decide.
If everyone is buying computers and cars and stuff with Bitcoin, the government has no control over that.
They can't control what it costs.
They can't control how you use it, where it's stored.
You're storing it on a phone.
It's out there in the world somewhere.
It's not even a physical thing, like gold coins, like you can keep in Fort Knox.
No, it's not based on anything.
If they could figure out a way to have a centralized digital currency, they could control people much better.
Decentralized things, whether it's decentralized podcasts, decentralized cryptocurrency, that kind of stuff scares the shit out of them, because that's kind of like the internet.
What the internet is, is it changed the battleground because everybody gets to compete.
Now, what you're seeing that's negative about that is like all these people that comment on Twitter and all these mean people that are posting things and all the weird people ganging up on people.
See, that's the negative aspect.
This is where human instincts get involved in this revolutionary groundbreaking technology, which is the ability to communicate for everybody instantaneously all around the world.
So when human beings with our fucking goofy instincts get involved in this, you're going to see chaotic things like that.
You're going to see gangs, people bullying people.
You're going to see pylons.
You're going to see virtue signaling.
You're going to see all the weird shit that you see right now.
gina carano
And I think you're going to see these companies and government.
I think you're going to see them employ some bots, which is why I think what Elon Musk is trying to do and get rid of the bots is...
So important.
joe rogan
It's very important.
gina carano
Because what happens is, and I have a whole email to these publicists, you know, I was like, do you guys see what's happening?
What's happening is I'm getting attacked from bots employed by, who knows, a company, I believe.
And they employ the bots, and then the bots kind of grab a hold of the younger generation.
and they manipulate the younger generation into, you know, the trans rights and all of this, and we're going to fire this and, you know, fire Gina Carano all of a sudden is in a hashtag.
And none of these are like real accounts, but then they start to become real accounts with these younger generation.
Then, you know, of course, Hollywood's always looking at the younger generation.
It's like Hollywood's so afraid to grow old.
It's like they're always constantly like living through the younger generation.
So then that makes it to the Hollywood news, Once it made it to the Hollywood news, now it's going to make it to the major news.
And the publicist would tell me, just something ridiculous, like, well, Gina, this Vanity Fair article isn't a great look.
And then I'd be like, well, let me show you who wrote that.
And I'd go check the girl's Twitter, and I'd be like, this girl tweeted three weeks before this article came out that she was going to, on purpose, she was like, I don't know what I'm going to do, but I'm going to say something.
And she's a writer for, I believe it's Vanity Fair.
I don't know what I'm going to do, but it's going to be great.
Meaning she's going to sabotage me in some way.
And so then, the day my episode came out in Mandalorian Season 1, the day my first episode came out, her article comes out.
And there's this calculated attack coming from Lucasfilm employees, coming from Disney, manipulating children.
joe rogan
Because they connected you with Trump.
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's what it is.
You became the bad person.
You became a representative of the Trump army because you were conservative.
gina carano
So if you're a conservative, you're the bad.
joe rogan
I'm not saying it's logical.
I'm not defending it.
But this is just an aspect of human behavior that gets filtered through this revolutionary, sort of groundbreaking technology.
gina carano
It's heartbreaking.
joe rogan
But also, you get to do this.
This is also a part of the revolutionary groundbreaking technology.
You get to express yourself like this.
No one's telling you what you can and can't say.
You can 100% express yourself.
That is the good side of revolutionary groundbreaking technology.
Is that people like you- Until they censor this whole entire thing.
They're not censoring shit.
Listen, you get through.
Stuff gets through.
Ultimately, all that gets sorted out in the wash.
gina carano
So you feel like it's just time that's going to take everybody to wiggle free a little bit and start fighting back?
joe rogan
There's going to be people that never fight back.
There's going to be people that dig their heels in.
There's going to be people that fucking get Pfizer tattoos.
There's a bunch of pussies out there.
There's a lot of people out there that are cowards.
And the moment things get weird, they fall apart.
gina carano
It was really strange to see some of these rock stars like Howard Stern and some people that fought so hard during their day about freedoms and stuff and freedom of speech and all of this to kind of turn around and be like, let's send them all to the Mississippi River and drown them or whatever he said.
It's like, what?
joe rogan
It's a cautionary tale.
That's what it is.
gina carano
It's a cautionary tale.
You can slap me right in the face if you see me 10 years from now and I'm like...
joe rogan
It's not going to be you, but there's going to be people that, you know, you live long enough, your heroes will become villains.
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
A lot of people just fall apart.
It's character.
Some people have some character.
They got a little character.
And then when things get real, they fall apart.
gina carano
What do you think you're going to be in 10 years?
joe rogan
Hopefully, I'll be right here.
I like the spot.
Hopefully I'll be right here talking shit.
As long as I can keep my health.
As long as I keep working out, keep eating well and taking vitamins and being smart.
I think I'll evolve my thoughts, but my principles in terms of the way I look at things, of being as brutally honest as possible and as nice as I can be.
Those things are very important to me.
The opinions that you have will evolve and change over time because information evolves and changes, you change, your perspective is different, but I'm always going to be honest about my perspective.
I might be wrong about things, but I'll tell you when I'm wrong.
If I'm wrong, I always want to come in and go, hey, I fucked up.
This is wrong and this is why I thought it was that way.
I will never lie.
I will never lie on purpose.
I will never go out of my way to say things that are untrue, to paint a different picture of the world, or a picture of the world that will satisfy some company I'm working with.
I'm not interested in that.
And I don't have to.
So I'm just going to keep doing this.
gina carano
I think that's why people really are drawn to you.
And I don't do this a lot, but this has been really nice.
I have to do a couple more after this, but then I kind of want to...
I think people know where I stand, where I've stood in the last two...
And by the way, I hope I'm wrong.
I was hoping I was wrong about a lot of stuff.
It's not that I sat there on my phone and thought, oh, I can't wait.
I can't wait to people start getting vaccine injured to prove me right.
Like, I really wanted to be wrong about a lot of the stuff that I'm seeing now about the economy.
I wasn't even, like, just hoping that Biden would just destroy it.
Like, okay, awesome.
Like, let's get back on track.
Like, but I just, yeah, I'm proud of myself for the last two and a half years.
I can't wait to move forward and not have to talk about this cancellation stuff.
I can't wait to get back into art and really just sink into all of that and disappear into it.
But for the moment, I think it's been important, and I hope that more and more people understand, even if we have opposing views.
Patricia Arquette, I think you're phenomenal.
It's okay for us to exist.
joe rogan
She thinks you stormed the Capitol!
unidentified
I know!
I know!
gina carano
You know what?
People ask me, and I'm like, what?
Where were you?
joe rogan
There's a thing that happens to older women in Hollywood, and I'm just saying this in general.
I'm not saying this about Patricia Arkep, because there's multiple examples of girls who were really pretty when they were young, and then they get older and they become the most uninformed activists.
The weirdly uninformed.
Like, goofy Twitter activists.
gina carano
I know.
I'm like, where are you finding the time?
joe rogan
Because they don't have a fucking life.
gina carano
I'm like, when you wake up in the morning and I look at my verified ones.
joe rogan
Go look at Alyssa Milano's tweets.
gina carano
Oh, Lord.
joe rogan
It's out of her fucking mind.
But this is what happens to these people.
They need something real.
Some real...
Fight some real cause, some real thing.
And it's probably inside their own head.
The real battle is probably in their own mind.
unidentified
I know.
gina carano
That's what I felt like.
I felt like I entered a conversation.
Something popped up on the news feed and it was in the middle of a conversation she was having with herself.
And my article just popped up.
joe rogan
Meanwhile, if you sat down and talked with her, I bet you'd probably have a reasonable conversation if she's not completely crazy.
gina carano
I bet we'd have a full bottle of wine and we'd sit there and laugh and we'd have some similar stories and we'd have some very different point of views and it would be fun and I think it would be amazing.
joe rogan
And if you couldn't, I bet it would be on her.
gina carano
What do you mean?
joe rogan
If you couldn't have that kind of a peaceful, civil conversation, I bet it would be on her.
I don't think it would be you.
I think you're a nice person.
I think you'd listen to her.
I think you'd talk to her.
gina carano
I'm interested, actually.
Please talk to me about your perspective.
I really want to understand.
joe rogan
That's what we need in this world.
That's what we need in this world.
We need people talking to people, but also talking to people Without an agenda, just be honest.
unidentified
Be open.
joe rogan
We can disagree, but I want to know why you think the way you think.
Don't just demonize people.
There are a bunch of Trumpers, or this or that.
gina carano
Cheers to that.
unidentified
I didn't vote for Trump.
joe rogan
I didn't vote for Trump.
No, I vote for Joe Jorgensen.
People were calling me a Trump supporter because I said I wouldn't vote for Biden.
Because I knew exactly what was going to happen.
unidentified
Exactly what you're seeing.
joe rogan
This is what I called.
And I said, his cabinet's going to be responsible for everything.
He's not going to be able to do anything.
I'm like, he is deteriorating rapidly and the stress of being in office is going to be way worse.
I go, I'd vote for Trump before I'd vote for Biden.
That's what I said.
But I didn't say I was going to vote for Trump because I didn't.
gina carano
And it's not...
Can I have a little more whiskey?
joe rogan
Hell yeah.
gina carano
It's not like I'm sitting there wanting to make fun of an old man.
By the way, I have so much respect for the elderly, you know?
The last thing you want to see is like a freaking old man...
joe rogan
Falling down on his bike?
gina carano
Yes, it was so sad.
I hate that.
Although, I feel like there's...
joe rogan
You know what's sad to me?
Children in third world countries that can't get any food.
gina carano
Oh my gosh, you sound like Kevin.
joe rogan
That's what's sad to me.
Biden falling on his bike is hilarious.
It was fucking funny.
You know why?
Because he didn't even get hurt.
It was funny.
gina carano
It wouldn't be so sad.
I would probably be a lot more sad if I didn't feel like the entire family is just like a crime, like, you know, just completely like sold out America to other countries.
So I would feel more sad.
But it's not like I wanted to see, you know, I didn't want to see this happen to an elderly, you know, person.
And to be honest, in the future, I think, you know, I would really like to see a, you know, a younger president who...
It has the energy and the drive and the passion.
I would really like to see that kind of person that really has the intentions of bringing conversation to the table.
You've interviewed Tulsi a bunch of times.
joe rogan
I love Tulsi.
gina carano
She's incredible.
joe rogan
She'd be an amazing president.
gina carano
Can you imagine if she was our vice president?
We'd be like, oh, we can't wait.
unidentified
Yeah.
He's done.
joe rogan
Push him off a cliff.
unidentified
No.
gina carano
Oh, great.
That's going to be trending.
Joe Rogan, push him off a cliff.
joe rogan
I was saying that in jest, ladies and gentlemen.
Only in jest.
gina carano
Was behind the bicycle incident.
joe rogan
She's unusual in that they keep trying to label her right wing, too.
She was literally a Democratic congresswoman for eight years.
She was a Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii, a woman of color, served and was deployed overseas twice in medical units.
So dealing with people that are blown up, She's a great person.
gina carano
She's amazing.
joe rogan
She's an amazing leader.
gina carano
And Ron DeSantis is so- Yeah.
joe rogan
But the thing is, they're scared of her.
unidentified
Let's get that group together.
joe rogan
They're so scared of her that she has all the qualities they want.
You want a woman president?
There you go.
You want a woman of color?
There you go.
You want a woman who's a veteran?
unidentified
There you go.
There you go.
joe rogan
You want someone who served in government, was a congresswoman?
There you go.
gina carano
Yeah.
I mean, while you've got Kamala looking like she's got some sort of secret gun held to her head to where she can't even...
Her sentences just go round and round.
They're great.
unidentified
It's about the passage of time.
It's about time and passing time.
And that's why we have watches.
We have watches because otherwise how would you know how much time has passed?
Time is a fleeting time type thing that only happens when time passes.
If you just sit there, so let's be good to each other with time.
gina carano
Oh my gosh, that was amazing.
joe rogan
That's better than hers.
That's better than her writing.
gina carano
Yeah, that's way better than hers.
joe rogan
That lady just wings it.
She's just winging it.
gina carano
No, do you think she wings it or do you think that she's...
joe rogan
Deer in the headlights.
gina carano
She looks scared.
joe rogan
She should be scared.
gina carano
She looks absolutely petrified.
joe rogan
She should be scared that they don't dig up her record and find out what she actually has done.
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
To find out what she's done to all those people that she kept in jail longer than they were supposed to be released, to use them as cheap labor for the state to fight wildfires.
unidentified
That was my friend, actually.
Really?
gina carano
Yeah, he was in one of those prisons, I think.
joe rogan
Yeah, look, that lady laughed about whether or not she'd smoke marijuana after she put people in jail for it.
There's some fucking evil shit that's involved in that kind of lack of compassion for human beings that she displayed.
gina carano
And if we had a Tulsi right there, I don't think it would be a question.
I think everybody would be like, great, okay, next.
joe rogan
When Tulsi sank Kamala Harris during the debate, holy shit.
gina carano
Dude, that was sexy.
joe rogan
That was sexy.
They thought that Kamala was going to be the one, and Tulsi was like, hang on a second, because here's what's real.
And when she said that, people were like, what the fuck, is that real?
And then they started Googling it, and that was the end.
That was the end.
She literally fell out of candidacy right then, until...
And then meanwhile, she was like, the stuff that she said about Biden when he was running against her was horrible.
But then she's like, it was a campaign!
Did you see that interview she did with Colbert?
gina carano
No.
joe rogan
She's like, it was a campaign!
gina carano
I don't know.
joe rogan
Oh, you're allowed to say things you don't believe during a campaign?
gina carano
I mean, that's all they ever do, right?
joe rogan
Well, fucking cut me out then.
I'll never do that.
gina carano
They needed somebody that wouldn't overtake Biden, and she's not overtaking him.
I think Biden, with all of what he's been involved in, and his son, and his brother, I think with all of his—there's no way that there shouldn't have been some sort of massive impeachment trial by now.
unidentified
But they're keeping that shit out of the news.
gina carano
Because they don't want Kamala to be next, so I think both the Republicans and Democrats were like, we don't want that next, so we're just going to hang out for a couple years.
joe rogan
He's not going to make it, though.
He's not going to make it.
The way I described him, I go, he's like going for a long walk in the woods with a battery with a week.
I fucked it up.
gina carano
Oh, do it again.
unidentified
Do it again.
gina carano
You can do it again.
joe rogan
The way I said it, it said Biden is like going for a long walk in the woods with a flashlight with a weak battery.
Like you're not going to make it.
gina carano
And he's taking America.
joe rogan
I said it the other way though.
I said it's like going on, having a flashlight with a weak battery and going for a long walk in the woods.
But that's what it's like.
It's like you knew going in that what he is is like this old guy who is Clearly suffering from some signs of deterioration.
gina carano
He's been suffering that for a decade, as he said.
joe rogan
Well, he's had multiple brain surgeries.
He had aneurysms, like serious where they have to take the top of your head out and drain blood and then screw it back in place.
And then he's got a stutter, too, which fucks him up even worse.
So people think he's dumb just because he has this stutter.
unidentified
It's a disaster.
joe rogan
And then we're almost in a nuclear war with Russia.
unidentified
Russia's thriving right now, aren't they?
gina carano
No, they're not thriving.
They're not thriving?
No, no, no.
I thought their economy was good in their...
joe rogan
No, no, no.
Their economy's fucked right now because of the embargoes.
Because of the sanctions.
gina carano
That's some misinformation I've been getting then.
Because I feel like they're looking at Russia and they're like, okay, they're fine.
We're the ones that are suffering, but they're suffering as well.
joe rogan
Well, we are suffering, but they're suffering too.
The sanctions are fucking up the whole world.
It's a scary thing when the whole world is looking at this one superpower that decides to invade another sovereign country, and no one knows what to do.
And everyone's worried that China's going to do it to Taiwan.
Yeah.
Let's stand by and see what happens.
gina carano
China didn't today or yesterday, they had the largest fleet of planes yet circle around Taiwan or something like that.
joe rogan
Oh, great.
gina carano
I know.
joe rogan
What fun.
gina carano
I know.
joe rogan
Yeah, so all this stuff is happening while we have a dead man as president.
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know, it's just not fun.
gina carano
Are you throwing out any support towards anyone?
Are you going to hold off?
True.
Didn't Elon Musk come out recently for DeSantis?
joe rogan
Yeah.
I think Ron DeSantis would work as a good president.
I mean, what he's done for Florida has been admirable.
gina carano
Look, I feel like I'm doing breaking news right now.
That wasn't even on purpose.
unidentified
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do.
joe rogan
I feel like what he did for Florida, a lot of people gave him a lot of grief, but ultimately he was correct.
He was correct when it comes to deaths.
He was correct when it comes to protecting our vulnerable populations.
He was correct in terms of distribution of monoclonal antibodies, and he was furious when the government tried to pull those.
They were trying to pull very effective treatments.
You know, he is not perfect.
He's a human being.
But what he's done is stand up for freedoms.
And people think that this was some weird gaslighting shit that went on where people equated freedom and saying the word freedom to, like, right-wing bigotry and hate is so strange.
gina carano
Well, it was also American flags.
So it was like if you had an American flag on your truck, you know, living in California, That one we have right there.
Right.
joe rogan
People were saying that I was a right-wing person because I had that one behind.
It's over there now.
You know, we have the sign.
But that was the one that was behind me.
gina carano
Why do you hate America, Joe?
joe rogan
Why do you hate America?
That fucking sign, that flag, I love that flag.
And that used to be the background of the show.
gina carano
It got, like, it's like Trumpers.
unidentified
Demonized.
Yeah.
gina carano
And then all of a sudden those same people are now complaining about January 6th and, you know, it's just really weird.
It's really weird, like, the back and forth that goes on here.
So, like, they're burning flags, a bunch of the, like, hey, they're pro-burning flags, and then now they're pro-flag, but then they still associate it with Trumpers, and it's just like...
joe rogan
Pro flag, if you're like a diversity flag, you have to have a good flag.
You have to have a pride flag, or you have to have a BLM flag, or you have to have a fucking hammer and sickle.
People are out of their minds.
And most people, what happens is they have this narrow band of information.
They attach...
All of their ideas, too.
And then they join a tribe.
And that tribe enforces all of these ideas.
And if you step outside those lines, if you say, you know, I actually think Trump's kind of funny.
Get the fuck out of here.
And they'll push you into the desert.
You'll starve without us.
gina carano
I do think Trump is kind of funny.
I will say it.
unidentified
He's funny.
gina carano
He makes me laugh.
He's hilarious.
joe rogan
When he called Kim Jong Il, little rocket man, I was fucking crying.
I was fucking crying.
The dude's a wild man.
gina carano
Oh my gosh.
And then like, you know, you kind of look back at some of the stuff he's saying, you're just like, I can't.
joe rogan
He's a wild man.
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
He makes me laugh.
gina carano
He makes me laugh too.
joe rogan
Look, I think if he wasn't president, I'd probably love him.
gina carano
Yeah.
I've never met him in person.
joe rogan
He used to be in every rap song.
They used to rap about him all the time.
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
People are always rapping about him.
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
I think come 2024, by the time the election is rolling around, people are going to be so sick of the way everything is going.
He has a very legitimate shot of winning again.
And I think people are going to be so tired of the way this administration's handling things.
They're going to want any kind of change.
And there's also a great compilation video of him calling exactly all the moves that have happened.
Him saying exactly what the ramifications of the Biden administration's policies are going to be for gas prices, what they're going to do.
They're going to come for your guns.
He said exactly the things that are absolutely happening now.
He's talking about gas is going to be $5 a gallon.
And it is.
gina carano
Yes.
unidentified
$7 a gallon.
gina carano
He said $5, $6, $7 a gallon, and here we are.
unidentified
Here we are.
joe rogan
Exactly.
The economy's going to tank.
gina carano
Yeah.
unidentified
Holy shit.
gina carano
He was so right on so many.
joe rogan
He was 100% right.
gina carano
And the Russian hoax and all the stuff that he was saying, that is what I appreciated.
I was like, finally we don't have a politically correct guy in there, and he's actually telling us what's going on.
joe rogan
If COVID didn't happen, the economy would have been booming, and he would have got reelected.
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
That's what I think.
I don't think Biden had a chance.
If we weren't in the middle of a pandemic, that's where the really crazy conspiracy theory people come into play.
Because they think that they released the virus on a person.
I might be.
I think I am.
I'm trying to leave you out of this so you don't get more hate mail.
gina carano
No, I really honestly, I'll say this.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I just, I think what happened, you know, I think the timing of everything was really awkward.
You know, I think that the blinders for me was, I feel like America's heart got broken this last, you know.
So a lot of us that were so oblivious to what was happening, it's like somebody pulled down the blinders and they went up and it was like, oh my gosh, like I'm not, now I don't trust anything.
You know what I mean?
Right.
I might be a little bit extreme when it comes to that because I just started paying attention in 2020. And I hate to see fellow Americans, I hate to see their heart broken the way mine's been broken and understanding that, oh my gosh, so much has been a lie.
And that crushes me.
So I really just have a bit of trust issues when it comes to the timing of things.
I have trust issues when it comes to all of it.
I have to say, my heart is still open.
I'm not, you know, damaged.
I'm not bitter.
I'm just, my heart is open.
I just need to understand and keep having conversations and keep watching how things play out.
joe rogan
We have a real problem.
And one of the real problems is the representatives that we have in this country are disingenuous and really bad at it.
They come across as being these weird, artificial people that talk like this and use hand gestures that everyone else uses because they think it's the way to say it.
Have you seen this new White House press secretary talking about how the economy is in the best shape it's ever been?
And everybody's like, what the fuck?
What are you talking about?
gina carano
This is what I love is when they get the thing out, which they got from that Kaylee chick, right?
And they're just looking through it and knowing damn well.
They're like, shit, where is...
Okay, I'm just going to...
We don't have that answer yet.
And they just keep going through their paper.
joe rogan
Well, Jen Psaki was better at it than this new girl.
This new girl is new and she's got to learn on the job.
gina carano
Jen Psaki was really good at what she did.
I did not like to watch her.
The way she talked down to people, it was so disgusting to me, but she was really good at doing that.
joe rogan
Well, it's a battle, and that's what's unfortunate about it.
It's not a real conversation about facts.
It's a battle to try to win each conversation that you have with these people that are in the audience.
Every question, and this girl, she's not qualified.
gina carano
She's not qualified.
joe rogan
She's not doing good at it.
gina carano
But you can't lie like that.
Maybe in a way it's coming off better for them because she's not so confrontational.
She really looks like a gentle, cute little soul.
joe rogan
Did you see Don Lemon even questioned her?
Is the president going to be able to run?
unidentified
We shouldn't even be having this question, Dawn.
You're asking me this question?
I can't even keep up with him.
I can't keep up with him.
joe rogan
You need to go to a doctor, okay?
Because you're young and healthy.
What the fuck are you talking about you can't keep up with him?
gina carano
I know.
It's just lies.
They're just lying.
unidentified
It's just a lie.
joe rogan
But that's what I'm saying.
gina carano
That Kayleigh McKinney, that's not how you say her name, she was such a stud.
unidentified
She was the best.
joe rogan
She was the best at it.
gina carano
Such a freaking stud.
I miss watching her.
joe rogan
And even the way she was confrontational was pretty pleasant.
gina carano
Yeah, and she threw in a little dig every once in a while.
It was so great.
joe rogan
She was great at it.
gina carano
And why is Peter, what's his name?
joe rogan
Peter Doocy?
gina carano
Yeah, Doocy.
Why is he the only guy that's asking any questions in there?
Or are they starting to?
joe rogan
I don't think they have many representatives of conservative news.
gina carano
I feel like as soon as Jen Psaki got removed, now Peter is like, this is my moment.
joe rogan
He was doing it with her, too.
He caught her on a bunch of stuff.
He caught her on when they were talking about illegal aliens getting into this country.
Are you going to give them money?
The whole thing is...
Trying, I mean, the White House press secretary's relationship with the reporters, the whole thing is just trying to manipulate the view the American public has of each individual problem.
gina carano
Right.
Like they're saying, if this is coming out of my mouth, right?
Like Biden's saying, this is coming out of my mouth, and we all just have to believe it because you're the president.
And he gets all upset and rages on his, you know, he's like, I am sick of these laws!
And you're like, you're the one.
joe rogan
He's out of his mind.
gina carano
Holy word.
joe rogan
He's sad.
You're watching a guy that shouldn't be in that position.
It's not fair to let him be in that spot because he's compromised mentally.
There's something wrong.
gina carano
Well, he's been compromised more than that.
joe rogan
But there's that.
There's that.
But I mean, his mind's not functioning correctly.
gina carano
No.
joe rogan
Clearly.
And so it's sad because it's just like giving everybody an opportunity to dunk on.
And me as a comedian, I kind of feel bad.
I thought you didn't feel bad.
It's like I've been dunking on him.
It's like it's so easy.
It's like punching a blind guy.
gina carano
Well, if that blind guy is selling out your country to other countries, then you better be punching the fuck out of him.
joe rogan
There's a lot of that, too.
But my point is, it's very hard for us to have reasonable...
Intelligent dialogues with each other when our representatives don't seem reasonable or intelligent.
gina carano
Exactly, yeah.
unidentified
It's hard.
gina carano
You know what's going to be really awful and really funny and maybe comedic is you're going to get a bunch of celebrities who are just like, vote Biden!
You know, taking off their clothes, vote Biden!
They're going to eventually in five years, they're going to be the ones, you know, telling stories, Hollywood movies about this time.
I feel like, you know, five years from now, three years from now, hopefully sooner, people are going to tell stories about what really happened during this time.
joe rogan
They're going to try to gaslight us.
Yeah, they're not going to be able to because of the internet, because there's enough independent news sources, you know, whether it's Breaking Points or Kyle Kalinske or Glenn Greenwald or Sam Harris or Brett Weinstein or, you know, this podcast or whoever I get on.
They're not going to be able to gaslight us, but they're going to try to.
gina carano
Look at the Vietnam documentaries on Netflix that come out.
Eventually these stories come out.
joe rogan
She compared COVID to Vietnam!
Cancel her again!
unidentified
Don't you know 60,000 Americans died in Vietnam?
gina carano
You know what?
Keep me cancelled for a good couple years.
It's just, you know, I don't want to be uncancelled at this point.
joe rogan
You might be right, though.
You might be right.
They might come out with a documentary that shows all the fuckery once Fauci's dead.
You know, he's 80. You know, he's probably not going to live that much longer.
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
I mean, maybe they'll go into depth the same way they went into depth with the cigarette companies when they did that film The Insider with Russell Crowe.
gina carano
I have to write that down.
joe rogan
A fucking wild movie where you find out what was really involved in cigarettes.
It's based on a true story.
He's a scientist that worked with the cigarette companies to engineer the chemicals in cigarettes to make them more addictive.
And he lays it out in court exactly how it was done.
Meanwhile, these guys were testifying that cigarettes were neither addictive nor dangerous when they knew they were causing cancer.
Way back in the fucking 50s they knew they were causing cancer.
gina carano
And this is what the problem is.
There's plenty of movies out there.
What are some other movies?
Radium Girls.
Oh, Dallas Buyers Club.
joe rogan
Yes.
gina carano
That Dr. Fauci is directly involved with that story.
joe rogan
Yes.
gina carano
And you've got these people playing these characters involved in these movies and you're like, and you don't see any of the...
joe rogan
They don't want to see it in front of their face.
Because people want to be able to sleep at night, and the way you sleep at night is by putting blinders on and pretending that we're all on the right road.
And when you're involved in a rigid ideology with left-wing progressive Hollywood, most certainly is.
Left-wing progressive Hollywood is a very rigid ideology that's not well-informed oftentimes.
You have a few well-informed ones, but there's a lot of these people that are just going with the fucking flow of the river.
And those people, it takes a long time for them to get weeded out, for them to crash into the rocks, for them to die, for them to move on.
That's what it is.
And then new people come along, and then they can look at the sins of the past, and they go, hey, you know, back in 2020, this is why they were lying about the Pfizer reports.
This is why they were trying to hide the data.
This is why they were...
The VAERS report is ineffective.
This is why they were trying to Influence doctors to not report things.
This is why they were trying to do this.
These are trying to demonize alternative medicines.
This is why they were trying to do that.
It's a profit thing.
gina carano
So accessing information and the amount of people that are going to keep on being frustrated and keep on...
I feel like more and more people will start speaking out and be so, like you said, they're going to be so frustrated by this administration by the time it's done.
This has been a movement.
There's other streaming services, the Daily Wire, but there's more.
The Babylon Bee, five years from now, those are going to be big companies.
joe rogan
The Babylon Bee out Onion the Onion.
gina carano
Amazing.
joe rogan
They're fucking so funny.
They're so consistently funny.
Because the funniest shit right now is woke shit.
And that's the shit that people on the left can't touch.
So as a comic, you're left without ammunition.
All the woke comics are fucking terrible.
gina carano
I know.
joe rogan
They're terrible.
And that's why the funniest parody comedy now is coming out of the Babylon Bee.
Because what they're doing is poking fun at this most obvious, ridiculous shit.
gina carano
The truth is funny.
It's true.
joe rogan
But it's also, it's like, it's the one thing you're not allowed to touch.
So they're running rampant if it wasn't for the Babylon Bee.
So what happens?
The Babylon Bee gets kicked off of Twitter, which is crazy.
gina carano
They're taking a stand too.
They could take down that post and they could be back on.
Oh my God, it's mind blowing.
I do feel like we just got to keep wiggling free.
We just got to keep on making art.
And unfortunately, we're at this time in life as artists, you know, but also fortunately, right?
Because we can be at the start of something.
Really great.
That's going to make, you know, your kids.
I don't have any, but my nieces make it a better...
joe rogan
Are you going to have some?
unidentified
You and Kevin have two kids.
gina carano
No.
joe rogan
No, you don't want any?
gina carano
I'm getting elderly now.
joe rogan
You maybe got a year left.
gina carano
I looked at everybody while they were in, like, quarantine, and I was like, okay, that does not look fun.
Like, I just...
joe rogan
You mean trapped with kids?
unidentified
No, I just, it just doesn't, I don't, I... It's just not for you.
gina carano
I don't know.
joe rogan
It doesn't have to be for you.
I'm not trying to pressure you into having kids.
gina carano
I mean, I feel like there's going to be a lot of kids that need adopting.
joe rogan
That's true, too.
gina carano
And I'm very, like, my heart would be so grateful to do that.
But I do...
joe rogan
That's beautiful.
gina carano
I got a little bit of a young spirit.
I want to travel still.
I haven't reached where I want to be in creating art and doing stuff like that.
And I also think I'd just be a crazy person.
Like, I'd be...
I mean, if the world keeps going in this direction, I'll be in prison if I had kids.
You know what I mean?
I'm just...
My heart would just...
I can't imagine how much your heart breaks thinking about the world that you're not going to be able to control once your kids are older.
joe rogan
But no one ever is able to control the world.
gina carano
I know myself.
joe rogan
This is a thing that you have when people say, oh, I would never want to have kids today.
I'm like, oh yeah, why would you with all the books and medicine and shit?
We're here because people fucked before they had doors.
They made children when we had no rules or laws or languages and that led to us living today.
You're not going to be able to control the world.
gina carano
I'm just knowing myself and how emotional Emotionally sensitive I can be.
I just, I think that it just, it petrifies, because I know what it is, love.
I know what loving your child is, and I think that it's just, for me, that's the scariest thing in the world.
joe rogan
Yeah, but it also makes you more understanding and kind, and it matures you.
gina carano
I'm pretty damn understanding and kind.
I need to have children for that.
joe rogan
But no, it's a different thing.
It changes.
You should not have children if you don't have children.
I'm not saying you should, but it changes people.
And I think for a lot of people, it changes people for the better.
But listen, nothing is guaranteed.
Some people, it changes them for the worse.
Some people get crazy.
Look, there's not, you can't ever know what the fuck is going to happen when you overcome.
gina carano
You can't be afraid of it, but I'm just.
joe rogan
Then don't.
gina carano
Well, and I also, I love, I just want to, I really want to do art and I want to tell stories and I want to keep doing what I'm doing, you know?
So until like, it's like, let's put a baby in there.
Then I'm like, okay, I'm just gonna, or let's, let's get a baby.
Cause there's so many, so many children that.
Yeah.
joe rogan
No, that's, that's beautiful.
gina carano
I definitely will.
I think it's going to be more on adoption is what I'm saying.
unidentified
Good.
joe rogan
Do that?
gina carano
So there won't be any more, there won't be more little troublemakers in life that came out of me.
joe rogan
Well, there still will be troublemakers.
gina carano
You have a couple.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
And I guarantee you...
gina carano
Is the middle child the troublemaker?
Because I'm a middle child and I think...
joe rogan
Yes, my middle child is the wildest one.
gina carano
Here we are.
joe rogan
Yeah.
But it's...
You learn...
I have a friend who's a yoga instructor and he said that he had children literally on purpose to educate himself.
And he said, he's a great dad, don't get me wrong.
But he said, like, I wanted to know, I wanted to educate myself through the development of other human beings.
He goes, I really thought about it that way.
I was like, wow.
And he goes, yeah, I did it like in many ways out of love because we wanted children.
You know, my wife and I talked about this, but also I thought it'd be a great way to learn.
gina carano
No doubt.
No doubt that it's got to be the most powerful thing you could ever do.
joe rogan
It changed me.
It changed everything I think about life.
It changed the way I think about human beings, because I used to think of human beings as being a static thing.
Today was the first day I've met you physically.
And I would think of, if I never knew of you, because I did obviously know of you, I would think of you as you now.
And I don't think of anybody as...
I think of them as babies that grew up.
Because I've been with babies that are now people.
And I've watched life experiences and education and just all these different environments form and shape their view of the world and their personality.
That's what I think of people now.
So when I see people that are fucked up and even mean people and bitchy people, I feel sad because I say, well, that's a broken baby.
That's what that is.
gina carano
I always look at people I don't really like, and I try to imagine them in their kitchen with a dog.
And if I don't feel bad for that dog, then I'm like, okay, they can have a little leniency.
But if I feel bad for that dog, then I'm like, fuck that person.
joe rogan
Well, some people need enemies, right?
And they create enemies that maybe they don't even have to create because of their unreasonable stance on things, the way they talk to them.
gina carano
I really do think.
I'm like, okay, this person got to, you know, maybe she's a producer, and she's been through a really hard history, and I try to look at things reasonably.
I'm not just instantly hating people.
I don't do that.
When I meet people, then that's when I'm like, okay, I understand this person a little bit more.
But I don't go off of hearsay.
I don't go off of anything.
joe rogan
We should all be more like that.
gina carano
Yeah.
joe rogan
Gina Carano, it's been a fucking good time.
gina carano
Oh, thank you.
joe rogan
It's been a good time.
I'm glad I got to meet you.
I've always been a fan of you as a fighter and as a person, and you are exactly how I thought you'd be.
gina carano
Oh, thank you.
joe rogan
You're going to be fine.
It's all going to work out.
gina carano
I believe that, and thank you.
joe rogan
So all you haters, go eat shit.
She's better and stronger because of all this.
gina carano
And thank you.
Thank you for being such a light, such a person that's going to, you know, I think one day they'll be making a movie off of you.
joe rogan
Don't.
They'll fuck it up.
gina carano
Who would play you, though?
Who would play you?
joe rogan
Mario Lopez.
