Joe Rogan Says First Amendment In Danger If Harris-Walz Win: ‘So Many Wild Things They Are Saying’
Joe Rogan argued that free speech would be on much shakier ground if Vice President Kamala Harris should defeat former President Donald Trump in November.
On The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan called out the “wild things” Harris and her running mate Tim Walz have said about free speech.
“I don’t think it turns around if Kamala Harris gets into office. I think they clamp down more,” Rogan said, calling X and Rumble the only social media platforms where people can be free to say what they want.
Rogan pointed to the Covid pandemic and aggressive policing on posts about masks and more that turned out to be true as an example of how clamped down social media could become. He also referenced a past Harris remark in which she discussed Elon Musk losing his “privileges.”
During a 2019 debate, Harris was calling for Trump’s account to be taken down on Twitter. She said social media companies have a “responsibility” to the public and they run with no “oversight or regulation.” She was not, however, calling for Twitter to be taken down, as some accused her of at the time.
“That has to stop,” she said.
“She openly discussed the need for the same rules to apply to Facebook and Twitter and the possibility that Elon Musk could lose his privileges. There are so many wild things that they are saying,” Rogan said.
Musk shared the clip of Rogan, calling him “absolutely right.”
The comedian and podcaster also took aim at Walz recently saying there’s “no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech.”
“Tim Walz said that the First Amendment doesn’t apply to misinformation or hate speech. Okay, well, it certainly does. It does,” Rogan argued. “Sometimes people say things wrong and the goal of the First Amendment is, you say something wrong, and then this guy who is an expert says the right thing, and you correct him.”
