Joe Rogan shared an ominous prediction about the state of free speech if Vice President Kamala Harris and her operating mate Tim Walz win the November election, arguing the Democratic ticket poses a grave risk to the First Amendment.
Rogan offered his thoughts on the troubling pattern of censorship in the US in a dialog with former Navy Seal, ex-CIA contractor and podcaster Shawn Ryan in an episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” launched Thursday.
“I don’t think it turns around if Kamala Harris gets into office,” Rogan mentioned of the censorship pattern, “I think they clamp down more.”
“I think the same stuff they were trying to do with Twitter they’ll try to do with other things,” Rogan added, “They’ve already openly discussed it. She’s openly discussed the same rules have to apply to Facebook have to apply to Twitter. And that Elon Musk could lose his privileges.”
Elon Musk echoed Rogan’s sentiment on X.
The Tesla CEO reposted a clip of the podcast including the message, “Joe is absolutely right.”
In a 2022 look on the podcast, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed to Rogan that the federal authorities – together with members of the FBI – had pressured the social media large to censor sure content material in the lead-up to the 2020 election.
The authorities affect reached a crescendo following the The Post’s unique reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop computer.
The protection was infamously censored on each Facebook and X, previously Twitter.
In 2023, the Twitter Files revealed the extent to which federal workers have been influencing content material moderators at the social media web site – particularly the Hunter Biden laptop computer story.
Rogan, in his Thursday podcast episode, skewered Harris’ operating mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
“There’s so many wild things that they’re saying. Tim Walz said that the First Amendment doesn’t apply to misinformation or hate speech. Okay, well it certainly does. It does. People will say things wrong. The goal of the First Amendment is ‘you say something wrong and this guy who is the expert says the right thing’ and then you correct them.”
Walz, in a 2022 appearance on MSNBC’s “The Reid Out” mentioned, “I think we need to push back on this. There’s no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech, and especially around our democracy.”
Constitutional students keep that “hate speech” is in actual fact protected by the First Amendment.
Rogan’s criticism of the Harris-Walz ticket comes after the podcaster known as out MSNBC for deceptively enhancing a video to make it seem that he had picked the vp as the inevitable winner of the election.
The left-leaning outlet spliced collectively two separate clips – one by which Rogan mentioned Harris favorably and one other by which the podcaster lauded reward on former congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard.
“I’m not suing MSNBC,” Rogan mentioned at the outset of an August podcast, “But this is what MSNBC: They took a clip of me talking about Tulsi Gabbard and they edited it up and made it look like I was saying great things about Kamala Harris.”
Rogan added of MSNBC, “But they don’t care about the truth. They just want a narrative to get out there amongst enough people because more people are just surface readers.”
Rogan has but to endorse a politician for president in the 2024 election.
