Joe Rogan said artists are reaching out and thanking him for his last minute endorsement of President-elect Donald Trump, saying they “can’t do it” out of fear of being “attacked.”

Criminal reform advocate and civil rights lawyer Josh Dubin joined Rogan for Wednesday’s The Joe Rogan Experience podcast and Rogan said he’s seen “a lot of people” are afraid to speak their minds politically following his endorsement of Trump. Rogan endorsed Trump the night before the election following a three hour-plus podcast between the two. Rogan similarly tried to get Vice President Kamala Harris on, but those negotiations did not pan out.

Rogan argued on his podcast that many, especially artists in the entertainment industry, back Harris and other policies to avoid backlash from liberal colleagues.

“There’s a lot of people that don’t speak their mind. Do you know how many artists that have reached out to me that are, like, fucking hippies, man, like artists, like musicians, comedians that thanked me for endorsing Trump because they can’t do it. They said they want to, but they don’t wanna be attacked. They can’t say it. They think the country is going in the wrong direction,” Rogan said.

The podcaster and comedian said one of the biggest worries people have spoken about is the “control of social media” and government influence over information on social media platforms.

“Trump has vowed to have free speech become a very important part of what he’s standing for and that this censoring of information needs to stop and that we need to stop all government influence in what people have to say,” he said.

“That shouldn’t be as revolutionary as it is,” Dubin responded.

“I know, it should be a core tenet — it’s essentially the First Amendment,” Rogan said.
