4 things Elon Musk told Joe Rogan before his 11th-hour Trump endorsement



Joe Rogan, the massively popular podcaster who supported Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in 2020 and signaled he would back Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) were he to go the distance in 2024, long expressed reluctance about having President Donald Trump on his show.

Rogan finally gave in late last month and sat down for three hours with the Republican president for an interview that went viral despite YouTube's apparent censorship efforts. Although the titular host of "The Joe Rogan Experience" appeared receptive to Trump's various policy proposals and his commentary about the issues facing the nation, Rogan refrained from endorsing the president — until Monday night after Elon Musk detailed his own reasons for backing Trump.

Rogan noted after the nearly three-hour interview Monday that Musk, a former Democrat, made "the most compelling case for Trump you'll hear" and agreed with the tech magnate "every step of the way."

While their conversation was replete with indications that might account for why Rogan finally endorsed Kamala Harris' opponent — such as the falsity of both the Democrat-constructed Russian collusion narrative and the party's promise of change; Harris' censorial reflex and dislikable personality; economic woes; Democrats' failure or unwillingness to tackle crime; reckless government spending; the border crisis; the promise of Trump's "Make America Healthy Again" movement; and the slaying of Peanut the squirrel — Musk highlighted four key reasons Trump was the optimal choice.

To save America from a 'one-party state'

Musk, who has reportedly poured hundreds of millions of dollars into efforts to see Trump elected, emphasized that should the Republican candidate lose the election, America will in turn "lose the two-party system."

The tech billionaire reasoned that there are only a handful of swing states where the margin of victory is small, "often 10 or 20,000 votes."

Musk echoed the concern Rogan raised with Sen. John Fetterman on the previous episode, namely that "the Democrat administration has been ... importing vast numbers of illegal aliens into swing states."

"What we're seeing is triple-digit increases in the numbers of illegals in every swing state. Some cases, 700% increases. These are gigantic numbers," said Musk, stressing that these numbers are far in excess of what would be necessary to permanently lock swing states for the Democrats.

'If Trump doesn't win, this is the last election.'

"Once the swing states vote blue, there is no election anymore," continued Musk. "There's only a Democrat primary."

"Which is so crazy," Rogan responded. "And it's so crazy that people are fine with that."

Musk indicated that the ultimate result would be a "one-party state" whose Democratic commissars could continue the project of overwhelming resistive states with illegal aliens until the remaining resistance is electorally neutralized.

While the Tesla CEO intimated that amnesty might play a big role in this scheme, he indicated that illegal aliens will be able to put their thumbs on the scale long before receiving citizenship, referencing successful Democratic efforts to eliminate voter ID laws.

Steven Camarota, the director of research for the Center of Immigration Studies, noted in a recent op-ed that illegal aliens are also counted in the census, meaning blue states will enjoy greater and greater representation in Congress the longer the border crisis goes unchecked.

"If Trump doesn't win, this is the last election," reiterated Musk.

Rogan replied, "I think you're right."

To save the Constitution

Musk noted that there has been a concerted campaign by Democrats to infringe upon Americans' rights and to render the Constitution a dead document.

"There have been all these attacks on the Constitution, especially on the Democrat side. They have been repeatedly saying that the First Amendment is an obstacle," said Musk. "And they're claiming, 'Oh, the First Amendment is enabling disinformation, misinformation.' And I'm like, 'Yo, there's a reason for the First Amendment.'"

Democrats have been explicit about their problems with the First Amendment and the speech rights it guarantees.

Tim Wu, a former special assistant to President Biden for competition and tech policy and author of one of Biden's executive orders, complained in July that the "First Amendment is out of control" and recommended reining it in.

Former Biden-Harris climate czar John Kerry noted during a World Economic Forum panel discussion on trade and so-called sustainability in September that "our First Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to just, you know, hammer ['disinformation'] out of existence."

The Biden-Harris administration has evidenced in practice its hostility toward free speech. For instance, it leaned on social media companies to silence dissenting voices during the pandemic; launched the Department of Homeland Security's short-lived Disinformation Governance Board and tasked an advocate for deplatforming Trump to run the censorship outfit; weaponized the State Department to clamp down on undesirable speech; and worked to control speech on the internet.

"If you don't have freedom of speech, you don't have democracy," Musk told Rogan. "If you don't have freedom of speech, people cannot make an informed vote. If they're just being fed propaganda, and there's no freedom of speech, democracy is an illusion."

Musk noted further that the Second Amendment — similarly under assault by Harris and her fellow Democrats — serves to ensure Americans can fight off those tyrannical forces that would dare undermine the First Amendment.

"I've had these debates, especially with people in L.A., because they want to take everyone's guns away, and I'm like, 'Yo, can you guarantee me that the government — that we'll never have a tyrannical government in the United States? Can you make that guarantee?' They're like, 'Well, nobody can make that guarantee.' I'm like, 'Then we need to keep our guns,'" said Musk. "Because that's what's going to stop it."

Harris' campaign website noted that if elected, she would "ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, require universal background checks, and support red flag laws that keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people."

In the past, Harris has threatened to storm the homes of law-abiding Americans for surprise gun inspections and sponsored a handgun ban.

To save America from suffocating regulation

Musk told Rogan that regulation has stymied innovation, such that it apparently takes longer for Space X to gain approval from regulatory agencies for a rocket launch than it takes to build the actual rockets.

When making his case for why a return to Trump's style of relative deregulation is optimal, Musk likened regulators to referees in a game of football.

"You don't want to have no refs. You want to have some number of refs. But you don't want to have way more refs than players," said Musk. "'Well, the running back couldn't complete the pass because there were too many regulators in the way because the football field was full of regulators.' Like, you can't even play the game."

Musk said in September that if Trump wins, "We do have an opportunity to do kind of a once-in-a-lifetime deregulation and reduction in the size of government."

To save America from foreign entanglements

The duo broached the subject of the left's desperate attempts to liken Trump to Adolf Hitler. Musk made a point of noting that Hitler is so despised because he committed genocide and effectively started war with Western civilization.

"Tell me about the wars and genocide that Trump did. Uh, I don't remember that, and he was president for four years," said Musk. "It's insane. It makes no sense."

Rogan noted, "He's campaigning on stopping all the wars. It's like his primary concern."

'Vote like your life depends on it because I think it does.'

"Exactly! The war mongers like Liz Cheney hate him," added Musk. "Because they love war. ... They profit off of war."

Former Jan. 6 committee member Liz Cheney and her father, Dick Cheney — a champion of the invasion of Iraq, which cost thousands of U.S. service lives and trillions of dollars — are among the interventionists who have backed Harris. Harris and Cheney recently denounced Trump's "isolationism," calling his aversion to foreign entanglements "dangerous."

Rogan indicated that he felt a sense of cognitive dissonance when the left celebrated Dick Cheney's Harris endorsement: "It's the craziest turn — the craziest 180 I've ever seen in my life."

"Yeah, can we play all the videos where you said Dick Cheney was the devil?" Musk replied, laughing.

"The war-profiteers hate Trump," said Musk. "Which is f***ed up. ... We should be like, 'Yeah, let's vote for the guy war-profiteers hate. That sounds like a great idea.'"

The tech billionaire noted further that the "Kamala puppet regime" is a guarantee for more war.

Musk concluded the interview by emphasizing the "men need to vote."

"This is a message to the men out there: Vote like your life depends on it because I think it does," said Musk. "Nothing is more important."

Joe Rogan questions Sen. Fetterman about scheme to use illegal aliens to 'rig' swing states for Democrats



Tens of millions of illegal aliens have stolen into the U.S. since January 2021, killing citizens, tracking in lethal drugs and once-controlled diseases, siphoning taxpayer-funded welfare benefits, displacing schoolchildren, and in some cases, threatening the integrity of American elections.

Rather than take ownership for the deadly crisis, border czar Kamala Harris has repeatedly blamed President Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers for the failure of the so-called "bipartisan" border bill, which Democrats have memorialized as a kind of would-be panacea.

Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman (D) did his best to amplify this narrative on the Saturday episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience," but the titular host made clear he wasn't buying what the senator was selling. Rogan suggested that Democrats aren't looking for a solution to the border crisis but are instead using the border crisis to solve their problem of incomplete political control.

'You're rigging the system.'

When discussing the matter of immigration, Fetterman told Rogan, "Democrats are saying, 'Hey though, we need a secure border, we — you know — it's a significant issue.' And if I thought there was any kinds of issues and I've been very vigilant throughout, I've been actively involved in those kinds of things, and I've never witnessed those kinds of a thing."

"What do you mean by 'issues?'" said Rogan. "Like, what kind of issues are you talking about? You're talking about people letting people in, in order to get votes?"

"Well, it's not, there's not that level kinds. I don't think there's that level of kinds of organization," responded the senator.

Rogan balked at the suggestion that the crisis underway is not courtesy of some coordinated efforts, stating:

But there is a [level of] organization that's moving these people to swing states. There is a significant number of these people that are illegal immigrants that have made their way to swing states. And then there's been calls for amnesty. There's been calls for allowing these people to have a pathway to citizenship and allow them to vote. The fear that a lot of people have is that this is a coordinated effort to take these people that you're allowing to come into the country, then you're providing them with all sorts of services like food stamps and housing and setting them up, and then providing a pathway to amnesty. And then you would have voters that would be significantly voting towards the Democrats because they're the people that enabled them to come into the country in the first place, first place and provided them with those services.

"This is a big fear that people have," added Rogan, "that you're rigging the system and that this will turn all these states into essentially locked-blue like California is."

This fear was recently expressed by Elon Musk, who noted on his social media platform, "The Dems have imported massive numbers of illegals to swing states. Triple digit increases over the past 4 years! Their STATED plan is to give them citizenship as soon as possible, turning all swing states Dem. America would then become a one-party, deep blue socialist state."

Musk was referencing data that suggested the Biden-Harris administration was flooding red states with inadmissible migrants under the Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela program.

'The apportionment of House seats and votes in the Electoral College among the states is based on total population — not citizenship or legal status.'

Rogan's suggestion left Fetterman stammering. After re-centering himself with the defeatist suggestion, "Immigration is always going to be a tough issue in our nation," the senator proceeded to recycle Harris' suggestion that the "bipartisan" border bill was a step in the right direction but was ultimately tripped up by Trump.

"They had an opportunity to do a comprehensive border, bipartisan [bill] and that went down because Trump, he declared that, that, that's, that's a bad deal after it was negotiated with the other side," said Fetterman, glossing over Democrats' rejection of the robust Secure the Border Act of 2023 from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) just months earlier.

Having evidently looked into the specifics of the Emergency National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, H. R. 815, Rogan responded, "But didn't that deal also involve amnesty? And didn't that deal also involve a significant number of illegal aliens being allowed into the country every year? I think it was 2 million people."

Blaze News previously reported that the bill included emergency authority provisions that would enable the federal government to shut down the border if the average number of illegal alien encounters reached between 4,000 and 5,000 per day for seven consecutive days. Over 1.4 million illegal aliens could therefore steal into the country without triggering a clamp down.

"So it was still the same sort of situation," continued Rogan. "Their fear is exactly what I talked about: that these people will be moved to swing states and that will be used to essentially rig those states and turn them blue forever."

When Fetterman attempted to dive back into empty rhetoric, Rogan intimated that it only took Republicans tens of thousands of votes across several counties to win certain states in 2016, so tens of millions of illegal aliens, strategically placed then rendered loyal to Democrats with handouts and amnesty, could "rig those states undeniably."

Steven Camarota, the director of research for the Center of Immigration Studies, noted in a recent op-ed that illegal aliens don't necessarily have to vote to impact American elections.

The apportionment of House seats and votes in the Electoral College among the states is based on total population — not citizenship or legal status. The Census Bureau is clear that naturalized citizens, as well as non-citizens such as green card holders, foreign students, guestworkers and illegal immigrants are captured in the census every 10 years.

Accordingly, political operatives playing the long game need only deluge blue states with illegal aliens to increase their representation in Congress and the Electoral College.

Because the legal and illegal immigrant population is so large and unevenly distributed across the country, it causes some states to gain seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and Electoral College at the expense of others.

A Center for Immigration Studies investigation revealed last week that the inclusion of legal and illegal immigrants in the 2020 census shifted 17 House seats.

Fetterman told Rogan, "Immigration is changing our nation," stressing that it is "generally for a good thing."

'They're desperate': Joe Rogan rails against YouTube's apparent censorship of Trump interview



Earlier this week, Americans experienced difficulty tracking down President Donald Trump's three-hour interview with Joe Rogan on YouTube, which presently has over 41.5 million views on the Google-owned platform. The hotly anticipated interview was also glaringly absent from the platform's trending page on Monday.

Rather than connect would-be viewers with the unfiltered interview, YouTube inundated users with results for antagonistic legacy media reports about the interview and unrelated videos — a redirection strategy that Rogan indicated had a dramatic impact on traffic.

Rogan blasted YouTube on the Wednesday episode of his show, telling stand-up comic Francis Foster and political commentator Konstantin Kisin that the apparent censorship effort reeked of desperation.

"There's no way this was a mistake," said Rogan. "That's too convenient."

The titular host of "The Joe Rogan Experience" noted that he initially gave YouTube the benefit of the doubt: "I'm like, 'I'm sure it was a mistake. There's no way that it was on purpose.' And so if you googled 'Rogan Trump,' you could only get clips. You couldn't watch the whole episode. You couldn't find it."

'There is massive far left censorship at Google/YouTube.'

David Heinemeier Hansson, the co-owner of the software company Basecamp, shared footage of his unsuccessful attempt to find the interview on Monday, tweeting, "Tried to find the Rogan/Trump interview on YouTube but no matter what I search, it's not coming up. Would be beyond bonkers if they're actively trying to suppress it. Must be a glitch, right?"

Hansson, whose original concerns were amplified by Rogan, noted further that numerous variations of his search, including "jre trump" and "trump on rogan," similarly failed to produce the desired result.

Rogan told Foster and Kisin that not only could potential voters not find the video, YouTube refused to highlight the Trump interview in its trending section, despite the video far surpassing the competition by leaps and bounds. He indicated that this omission revealed either that the section is meaningless or that something foul was afoot.

According to Rogan, amid YouTube's apparent election-time censorship attempts, Elon Musk — who stressed that "there is massive far left censorship at Google/YouTube" and noted that "Alphabet (Google/YouTube) is the #1 biggest donor to the Democratic Party" — reached out to Spotify CEO Daniel Ek, successfully porting the entire interview to X to ensure its visibility.

"So now it has way more views," said Rogan, referring to the tens of millions of additional views it has since netted on Musk's platform.

'They hate it because ideologically they're opposed to the idea of him being more popular.'

"You can't suppress s***. It doesn't work," said Rogan. "This is the internet. This is 2024. People are going to realize what you're doing. If you try to make it so that something can't come up in a search engine because it's too popular — first of all, if that's not trending, then you tell me what the f*** is."

YouTube said in a statement Monday evening:

Since airing Friday, the interview has generated over 34 million views on YouTube and counting, making it Joe Rogan's most viewed episode of the year. For some searches on Monday the original 3-hour interview didn't appear prominently. Short excerpts uploaded by the Joe Rogan channel appeared, but we know it was frustrating for users looking to find the full video. We've worked to resolve this and viewers will begin seeing the full podcast in more YouTube search results soon.

While Rogan indicated that the censorship was unmistakable, he expressed openness to the possibility that rather than an institutional effort on the part of Google to once again interfere for the ostensible benefit of Democrats, "it could have been like some rogue engineer. There's a lot of people that are working behind the scenes."

According to OpenSecrets, individuals at Google's parent company, Alphabet, have donated over $2.2 million to the Harris campaign this election cycle, as well as $1.6 million to the Harris super PAC Future Forward USA and millions more to congressional and Senate Democrats.

Google has also been accused in recent months of manipulating the autocomplete feature for its search engine to suppress information about Donald Trump. An attorney for Alphabet Inc. admitted to Congress in August that the autocomplete tool for its search function hid results about an ActBlue donor's attempt on Trump's life in Pennsylvania.

Earlier this year, Google also reportedly killed a pro-Trump ad for a supposed "policy violation."

"I think they're desperate because they had no idea it was going to be that popular," said Rogan. "It's a runaway train, and they hate it because ideologically they're opposed to the idea of him being more popular."

BlazeTV host Steve Deace recently underscored the social and political significance of the interview, writing, "The benefit of this interview for candidate Trump could be equivalent to the largest and most expensive media ad buy in political history — something unattainable given the resources and precise messaging required to pull it off effectively."

Rogan suggested that leftists largely control "these massive media distribution companies like YouTube or Facebook. They're massive companies. They have so much influence on everything. And they didn't like that this one was slipping away."

Google's antipathy for Trump is likely not all ideological. In 2020, Trump signed an executive order with the aim of limiting legal protections for social media companies and signaled a desire to implement new regulations on Big Tech.

"Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube wield immense, if not unprecedented, power to shape the interpretation of public events; to censor, delete, or disappear information; and to control what people see or do not see," wrote Trump. "As President, I have made clear my commitment to free and open debate on the internet."

Trump says Joe Rogan interview will happen: 'I'm doing it'



President Donald Trump suggested on the Monday episode of the "Full Send Podcast" that he would soon appear on "The Joe Rogan Experience" to speak with the titular host.

While the Republican has appeared on a number of popular podcasts in recent weeks, a sit-down with Rogan would undoubtedly help maximize his reach. Rogan's show is in the top three podcasts on Spotify, which is the top U.S. podcast network, and Rogan's show boasts over 17.4 million subscribers on YouTube.

"Full Send Podcast" host Kyle Forgeard said to Trump, "You're doing a lot of podcasts recently. One that I would love to see you on is — I think Joe Rogan has to have you on." Forgeard then asked, "Would you do that?"

"Oh, sure I would," said Trump. "I mean I think I'm doing it, actually."

Forgeard pressed the Republican for clarification, "So you are going to do Joe Rogan?"

"Yeah, I am," said Trump.

After Forgeard suggested that Rogan's massive popularity is the result, in part, of his illumination of corruption during the pandemic, Trump noted that Rogan is a "good guy" with a "good voice."

The Daily Beast indicated that neither the Trump campaign nor a Rogan representative responded immediately to its requests for comment.

While there has not been an official response from Rogan or his team, the Joe Rogan Podcast account posed the question Saturday, "Do you want to see @realDonaldTrump on the podcast?"

At the time of publication, the post had received over 480,000 likes and the comments were overwhelmingly supportive.

Days prior to the poll, Elon Musk said definitively, "It will happen."

The Joe Rogan Podcast X account subsequently shared an article referring to Trump's possible appearance on the show.

Rogan has long downplayed the possibility of having President Donald Trump on his podcast. He told Lex Fridman in July 2022, for instance, "I'm not a Trump supporter in any way, shape, or form. I've had the opportunity to have him on my show more than once; I've said no every time."

'It would be interesting to hear his perspective on a lot of things.'

"I think you'll have him on," responded Fridman, citing Kanye West as an example of a guest Rogan had a good conversation with despite possible earlier skepticism.

Rogan said, "Yeah, but Kanye's an artist. Kanye doing well or not doing well doesn't change the course of our country."

Rogan, who supported Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in 2020 and signaled he would back Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) were he to go the distance in 2024, has sporadically defended Trump in the time since while also softening his position about not doing an interview.

Patrick Bet-David pressed the issue last year, asking if it might happen. Rogan told the entrepreneur, "Maybe. Maybe."

"It would be interesting to hear his perspective on a lot of things," Rogan told Bet-David. "I would like to know: What is it like when you actually get into office? I would like to know things like what is like versus perception. What is it actually like when you get in that building? ... When do you know that people are f***ing with you? When do you know that the intelligence agency's lying to you?"

In a September interview with Fridman, Trump indicated that he was unaware there was "any tension" between Rogan and himself, noting, "I've always liked him, but I don't know him."

"I only see him when I walk into the arena with Dana [White], and I shake his hand," said Trump. "I see him there, and I think he's good at what he does, but I don't know about doing his podcast. I guess I'd do it, but I haven't been asked, and I'm not asking them. I'm not asking anybody."

Trump characterized Rogan as a "liberal guy, I guess," but alluded to possible common ground.

"He likes [Robert F.] Kennedy," said Trump. "Bobby's going to be great. But I like that he likes Kennedy."

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. endorsed Trump on Aug. 23, indicating that in a second Trump administration, he would have the opportunity to help "Make America Healthy Again."

'Locks up like Windows 95': Joe Rogan lays into Biden, underscoring that he's been a punch line for decades



Various liberal media outfits and Democratic donors have abandoned the pretense that President Joe Biden is mentally equipped to serve another full term. Amidst the growing acknowledgment of Biden's decrepitude, some supporters have leaned on the characterization of the 81-year-old Democrat as a truth-telling candidate of integrity.

Although happy to see the Biden competency narrative crumble, Joe Rogan and leftist YouTube personality Jimmy Dore are just as critical of the new Biden integrity narrative.

In the July 4 episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience," the titular host quipped that during the debate, Biden "locks up like Windows 95, stammers for 15 seconds, and then says, 'We beat Medicare.'"

Rogan's remarks at Biden's expense prompted Dore to attack recent revisionism about the president's character.

"No one's ever f***ing loved Joe Biden. He's always been a joke and a punch line," said Dore. "And this idea that somehow it's Joe Biden's integrity and truth-telling against Donald Trump — 'He lied, lied.' The first time Joe Biden ran for president, he had to drop out because he got exposed for being a pathological liar."

"He said he graduated at the top of his class. He graduated at the bottom," continued Dore. "He said he had three majors. ... He said he was chosen as the most outstanding ... no. It was all lies. And then he got caught plagiarizing — not only just their speeches but like their life story."

Biden launched his 1988 presidential campaign in June 1987. He claimed that he graduated in the top half of his class in law school; that he had attended law school at Syracuse University on a full academic scholarship; that he had been named the outstanding student in the political science department as an undergraduate at the University of Delaware; and that he had graduated from Delaware with three undergraduate degrees.

Biden was later forced to admit that the claims were bogus.

The Washington Post reported at the time that Biden had confirmed in a statement, "As the complete record of my law school career indicates, which I released to the press last week, I did not graduate in the top half of my class at law school and my recollection on this was inaccurate."

Biden had in fact ranked 76th out of a law school class of 85.

At Delaware, he graduated 506th in a class of 688 with a "C" average.

As for this supposed triple degree, he receive a degree with a dual major in history and political science.

In terms of being named an outstanding student, Biden later admitted a professor of the name of David Ingersoll had nominated him — but nothing came of it.

'It was an open mockery that he was a known plagiarist.'

At a press conference in September 1987, Biden also confirmed that he had faced disciplinary action for plagiarism while a freshman in law school. In one instance, he reportedly used five pages from a law review article for a brief he claimed to have written in a legal methods class without crediting the source or using footnotes.

Biden also copped to freely stealing quotes from other politicians, including then-British Labor Party leader Neil Kinnock.

While Biden liberally stole speech elements and quotes from President John F. Kennedy and others, the New York Times noted that "he lifted Mr. Kinnock's closing speech with phrases, gestures and lyrical Welsh syntax intact for his own closing speech at a debate at the Iowa State Fair on Aug. 23 — without crediting Mr. Kinnock."

"Who does that?" asked Dore. "He's been a joke, always was a joke."

"Did I ever tell you about 'Joe Biden night' that we used to have at Stitches?" Rogan later asked his guest. "Stitches Comedy Club in 1988, we had 'Joe Biden night.' ... That would mean I would go on stage and do your act and you would go on stage and do my act."

"Because he was a plagiarist," said Dore.

"Exactly," said Rogan. "So we would call it 'Joe Biden night,' and all the comics would go up and do each other's acts."

"It was an open mockery that he was a known plagiarist," added Rogan. "In '88."

"That's why this rehabilitation — it's all because of Trump derangement syndrome," responded Dore. "They have to pretend like Joe Biden's some kind of guy with integrity and dignity instead of, you know, the horrible criminal, anti-worker guy that he's been his whole life."

Joe Rogan Has a Brutal Message for Pro-Palestinian Protesters | Cohost James Lindsay

Joe Rogan Has a Brutal Message for Pro-Palestinian Protesters | Cohost James Lindsay

Biden admin 'abandoned the people of Hawaii' after Maui fires, Joe Rogan shocked



As Ukraine rakes in billions from the American government, Maui fire victims are still displaced.

Lucky for them, last year they received a $700 one-time payment from the government to help them get back on their feet. Joe Rogan equates the $700 one-time payment to 700 cups of Ramen noodles.

“Who said yes to that? Who allowed that?” Rogan asked Tulsi Gabbard, adding, “At the same time releasing this number where they accidentally had sent Ukraine $6 billion.”

“Yeah, they said, ‘Oh well, we lost track of this $6 billion and so now that we’ve found it because of some accounting error now we can go and send it to Ukraine,'” Gabbard says.

“I remember specifically when the fires had just happened. The White House brought in the director of FEMA to talk to the White House Press Corps and someone asked the question, ‘What are you, FEMA, what are you actually doing for the people who’ve been impacted by this tragedy?’”

“The director stood there with a straight face and proudly said, ‘Well, we have provided a one-time payment of $700 to everyone who has been impacted by this fire or displaced by this fire,’ and that was her big announcement,” Gabbard explains.

“So, we have completely abandoned those people in Hawaii,” Dave Rubin comments, disturbed.

WATCH: Joe Rogan gives his two cents on the ‘squatters' rights’ epidemic: 'It’s just law and order'



A few days ago, Joe Rogan had comedian and actor Joey Diaz on “The Joe Rogan Experience” to discuss a range of topics, including the wave of infuriating cases across the country involving “squatters' rights.”

Squatters' rights, formally called adverse possession, is a legal principle in which someone who has no lawful ownership or rentership over a property is permitted to continue living there without the rightful owner’s permission.

It’s easy to see why there are so many squatters' rights cases popping up all over the country — it’s basically grand theft with zero consequences for the squatter and maximum consequences for the rightful property owner.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), however, has taken charge of the issue by signing a law into effect eliminating squatters' rights in the state.

“In Georgia, there's a thousand houses right now that people are squatting in” but “not Florida,” Rogan told Diaz. “In Florida, they’re like, ‘F**k you.”’

“[DeSantis] is like, ‘In Florida, that does not fly. There is no way anyone's going to squat in your house in Florida,’ which is what people want to hear,” he continued, adding that DeSantis’ anti-squatter policy “should be in every state,” because it’s just “logical.”

“It has nothing to do with racism or xenophobia or white privilege or any of these dumb things they try to attach to this. It's just law and order. We have to have a set of laws that we all abide by if we're going to have a peaceful society where you don't create victims and you don't empower criminals, and the fact that that is complicated in 2024 is so strange to me,” Rogan said.

“It ain’t rocket science,” says Dave Rubin, who applauds Rogan’s words.

To see the clip of Rogan ripping into squatters' rights and praising Florida’s new anti-squatter law, watch the clip below.

WATCH: Joe Rogan has HAD IT with racism against whites



The radical left has expanded the definition of racism to include just about anything under the sun, but none of its so-called protections against “hate speech” apply to white people, apparently.

This double standard is not lost on Joe Rogan.

On a recent episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” Rogan told author James Lindsay that “there's plenty of people that have said crazy things about white people lately that you're allowed to say.”

“When you say that a group of people is either bad or that a group of people is responsible for everything ... you allow 'othering,'” he continued, adding that othering “is the number one problem we have tribally [and] culturally.”

Lindsay agreed, explaining that “identity politics” is “contagious” and “only creates more of itself.”

“It only makes people more racist,” said Rogan. “We should just treat everyone as individuals.”

Lindsay agreed, adding that treating people as individuals applies to more than just race.
