Rogan Details Why He Turned From Democrats to Douglas

Joe Rogan said Democratic immigration policies, the party’s candidate-selection process and its handling of COVID-19 measures contributed to his break with the party, during a podcast conversation with actor Michael Douglas. Rogan also criticized former President Joe Biden’s capacity to serve and said he had become dissatisfied with some of President Donald Trump’s actions. The remarks came during an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience in which Douglas asked Rogan about his past support for both major parties. Rogan said he objected to what he characterized as an open border, alleging that people were given instructions on entering the United States and transported to cities and hotels. He speculated about the motives behind those practices but said he did not know what they were. Rogan also claimed that 10 million people of unknown origin entered the country over four years. That figure was presented as his assertion in the conversation; the materials provided do not independently establish it.
