Joe Rogan Recently Declared He Doesn’t Want to Bring Politicians on His Podcast Anymore
As previously reported, Joe Rogan announced he doesn’t want to bring politicians on his podcast anymore. He previously welcomed 11 politicians on the show. The only high-profile politician to be featured, however, is Bernie Sanders.
Speaking about why he decided to not bring politicians on the show, Joe Rogan stated, “I’m very apolitical. When it comes to the future and political candidates, I don’t want to have that kind of influence. I want to be someone who can watch and observe. I don’t wanna be someone who’s actually affecting this.”
Joe Rogan also explained that when it comes to political views, he has decided to remain very apolitical at this time. “What I’m actually interested in is talking to people. I’m not nearly as interested in affecting things. Unfortunately, because there are so many f—ing people paying attention, I’m doing it the same way I’ve always done it. But now there are more people paying attention.”
Joe Rogan goes on to declare, “The idea that one person can have that much influence is disturbing to a lot of folks who would like these giant corporations, which are controlled by the pharmaceutical companies and whoever the f— else is paying their advertising, to decide what can and can’t be talked about and not said or not discussed. And what’s misinformation and what’s real information.”
