AUSTIN, TEXAS: In a recent podcast episode, Joe Rogan engaged in a conversation with athlete and physician Dr Shawn Baker, addressing the Democratic Party's dependence on President Biden.
Rogan asserted that Democrats lack viable strategies and will heavily lean on "party loyalty" for the 2024 elections.
The discussion extended to California Gov Gavin Newsom, a prominent Democratic figure.
Rogan and Baker, both well-known personalities, have recently garnered attention for their discussions on topics such as food addiction and Baker's explanation of his neck rehabilitation.
What did Joe Rogan say about Democratic Party's strategies?
In a recent Rogan episode, insights were shared on the Democratic Party's strategies which took the internet by storm. Initially, Rogan critiqued California's past initiatives under Newsom's leadership, deeming them ineffective.
He then highlighted a more impactful approach, noting, "The only thing that I saw that was effective at all in stopping the tents in the homeless situation was when [Chinese President] Xi Jinping visited San Francisco."
Rogan went on to suggest that Newsom prioritized the optics of San Francisco during a visit from a "dictator" over the daily quality of life for residents.
Addressing the future, Baker raised questions about Biden's eligibility for the next election, to which Rogan commented, "I think, at this point, they kind of have to run him. Unless he dies."
Rogan pondered the potential scenarios, including Kamala Harris stepping in if Biden were to pass away.
He humorously suggested, "They’re going to put her on the moon? Like, what are they going to do? She’s the vice president."
Baker presented another theoretical situation where Harris takes the presidency briefly before stepping down at the Democratic Party convention, potentially paving the way for Newsom.
Rogan expressed doubts about such a transition, particularly concerning Harris supporters.
He then delved into the Democratic Party's 2024 strategy, suggesting they are counting on Trump's conviction, which he finds dubious.
Rogan added, “I think they have f***ing no cards, and they’re looking at this game. And I don’t know, I think they’re depending upon party loyalty."
Rogan claimed, "And they’re depending upon Trump getting convicted and arrested and imprisoned rather. I don’t know if that’s going to happen. I don’t think it is. It seems like it’s a bunch of trumped up charges, no pun intended," as per Fox news.
Rogan and his guest expressed suspicion about the timing of Trump's prosecution, with Rogan speculating on possible political motivations, likening it to "banana republic tactics" by targeting political opponents opportunistically.
Joe Rogan discusses Middle East war
Joe Rogan recently extended an invitation to political analyst and comedian Dave Smith to join The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE).
In their discussion on the Middle East War, Rogan expressed his frustration with the public's tendency to oversimplify viewpoints on the conflict.
Rogan claimed, "Either Israel is evil or Hamas is totally evil. It can't be there's a lot going on. This binary thinking that everybody has in our culture today, where people, we automatically subscribe to what one side thinks."
He added, "If you're on the right, you automatically subscribe to what the right-wing people think. If you're on the left, you subscribe to the left wing. Which wars are we supporting? There are different sides to supporting wars."
