Joe Rogan Turns on Trump, Questions Abrego Garcia's Deportation Without Due Process: 'We Got To Be Careful That We Don't Become Monsters'
Joe Rogan warned against abandoning due process in immigration enforcement on his podcast, criticizing deportations like Kilmar Abrego Garcia's.
Ooooo the mouthpieces see the wall coming
Ah so the orange’s actions finally hit Rogan’s bank account ehh
joe 100% holds some not insignificant amount of blame for all this bs.
he IS a monster, it IS to late for him.
Yea! It could happen any day now! Any…day.. now…
Nah he’s just trying to sound impartial. He was at UFC practically giving Trump a handy.
Keeping a mind so open that the brain just slides right out.
You cannot turn into monsters if you already are ones.
he is just hedging his bets.
Become?
To phrase this carefully: I've been saying that the people behind the scenery, who are actually in charge of this current regime, are going to need a new "face" when the current, orange one dies. Somebody brash, charismatic, well-versed in keeping people entertained, and their attention on himself. Somebody just like, oh, say, Joe Rogan.
I'm not predicting that Rogan will be the next "face" of MAGA, but this move is consistent with what I would expect if he were positioning himself to be it: Hedging his bets, putting a little bit of distance between himself and the administration so as to be outside of the blast radius in case public sentiment turns, but supporting it enough to be a credible successor in case public sentiment holds.

This feels like the speculation I saw about Tucker Carlson or Mark Zuckerburg running for office. I think it misses how much of Rogan's popularity is artificially inflated, how much of his job is merely to market crypto and blue chew, and how much he wouldn't actually want the job of running for office to begin with.
These bloated egos inevitably do put their toes in the water. But trying to separate a few million dipshits from their wallets is a radically different task than trying to win a plurality of the 150M+ voting poll (heavily weighted across states full of people who don't listen to podcasts). You're going to send Joe Rogan to Iowa to eat a stick of fried butter while telling a gaggle of fifty year old hog farmers how much he loves soybeans and he's going to do a worse job of it than Rick Perry.

The sentiment won't turn. It's the same sentiment that's been building since the Bush Administration, and one of the big reasons the GOP fell apart in 2006 and then again in 2012 and 2020. The GOP can't afford to be moderate on immigration, on social politics, or on social welfare programs. Because as soon as you stop delivering the red meat, the knives come out.
Republicans aren't going to run a milquetoast moderate podcaster face for the party like Rogan the next time the top spot opens up. Look at the line up in 2024 against Trump - Nikki Hailey, Ron DeSantis, Asa Hutchenson, and Vivek Ramaswamy are the party's future. These are the people piling into the governorships and congressional seats under Trump and they're going to be the pool that dictates his replacement.
Joe you helped us become this monster you fucking idiot.
He deserves all the flak, but we need to accept and encourage people who are changing their mind or we're all fucked.
He isn't changing his mind. This is part of his strategy and has always been so. This is to please the "but he also invites non-right wing guest" crowd. He is and will remain a right wing influencer who carries a large responsibility for the current situation with his right wing propaganda platform.
"I'm sorry. You all tried to tell me, and I didn't listen. I was wrong"
We can talk about forgiveness and acceptance when he gets to this point.
Why do people listen to this idiot? His stance changes when the wind blows. The "wind" being a threat to his profit.
I mean, I don't think Rogan is "Evil," or even little "e" evil, but for Pete's sake, he's just a meathead dudebro who has let fame and money go to his head. He should go back to just smoking weed and talking about aliens.
He is the embodiment of why they didn’t let just anyone be on TV
The "wind" being a threat to his profit. I mean, I don't think Rogan is "Evil,"
That's textbook Nazis. They were all for it until it wasn't popular and a threat to their profit.
Unprincipled self-serving assholes ARE evil. If you spread dangerous words that end up motivating people into harming others, YOU are at fault.
That is why we shouldn't tolerate hateful talk towards innocent people, even when "he's just joking!", "she doesn't really mean it!". Enough little words together make an avalanche, and his words are not even little.
He's at a minimum little “e” evil. I've seen him go full far-right and MAGA.
Some More News did an excellent segment on Rogan. One of the interesting things they noted is Rogan's tendency to stay in opposition to the running political power. This checks out
Because hos viewers are bigger idiots.
Well, yeah.
Fuck you, Joe. We all told you that he is a monster, and you helped elect him. Don't pretend you have any morals now.
Joe Rogan endorsed these anti American policies November 4th, 2024.

Oh Joe, honey, you've been a monster for YEARS.
Joe's stocks went down, hasn't it?
What a spineless two-faced coward. He constantly attempts to cover up his fascism by saying non-committal stuff like this.
Not like Trump is doing different than he announced he would do. This moron endorsed him ffs.
no taksies backsies, you are responsible for turning many men into trumpers.
Joe Rogan is an idiot.
... become?
You already are
Too late
"Are we the baddies" moment.
No, I don't think he'll ever get that aware. He's just following the trend to stay relevant.
Bit late buddy. 👹
lol maybe stop abusing performance enhancing drugs first so you don’t look like a monster.
Rage Entertainment Podcaster that blows with the political winds like a piece of tissue paper?
Shocking
Too late
Too little too late . You helped put this maniac in the White House.
I didn't watch the podcast, just saw a clip from others reporting on it.
I didn't hear him say anything about trump, at all. He just said a mildly reasonable thing about the deportations without due process.
Is this headline sensationalized or am I wrong? Sounded like the most vanilla sugar coated "turns on trump" he could be. Stark contrast from during the election when he practically had a rock hard energized erection for trump.
Show me when he actually says he was wrong blatantly and says fuck trump on his shitty podcast, I'll eat my shoe.
