Joe Rogan offered a blunt assessment of MAGA after Republicans’ midterm losses: “They didn’t just lose the podcast bros. They lost most of the country,” said Rogan.
On deporting established community members
“… Not a good thing to snatch people out of their f—ing taco stands that have been in the country for 20 years and are nice, good people that are loved by the community, but they just don’t have the right paperwork,” stated Rogan.
On war and immigration enforcement
“Like, when you get into a war that no one wants to be in, when you got militarized police in the streets wearing masks.”
On the administration’s border policies
“They did some good things. They closed the border, and then crime dropped significantly. Those are good things.”
Well, it’s arguable that the administration’s border policy contributed to the major drop in crime. Empirical research and government data consistently show that undocumented (illegal) immigrants commit crimes and are incarcerated at lower rates than native-born U.S. citizens.
Rogan was a prominent supporter of Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign and was widely viewed as an important figure in the Republican effort to reach young male voters through podcasts and alternative media.
