Joe Rogan had this to say about America’s political landscape

In a recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience (JRE), Rogan engaged in a thought-provoking conversation with journalist Alex Berenson. He is the author behind the ‘Unreported Truth Substack’ and numerous novels and non-fiction books. Berenson gained notoriety when he successfully sued Twitter to have his ban lifted, making him the sole individual to achieve such a reversal. Amid their discussion, they talked about the complex landscape of American politics.

Rogan stated his perspective on the issue, highlighting the polarizing nature of modern American politics. He had a lot to say for two respected individuals, regardless of policy disagreements, who genuinely prioritize the country’s best interests.

He stated, “Instead it’s like hell in a handbasket no matter which way it goes. And my god, what if Biden wins again and beats Trump? And what if people don’t believe it’s real again? And it gets worse than January 6th. What if that happens?

Berenson humorously lightened Rogan’s words to the fear-mongering approach of liberal parents addressing climate change. Rogan, however, elaborated on his concerns, emphasizing the strange position the nation finds itself in, coupled with the complexities of the ongoing proxy war with Russia.  He said, “I’m just looking at this precarious position in which we stand while we are also involved in a proxy war with Russia. It’s bananas. It scares the sh*t outta me.”

When the conversation moved toward who Rogan believes should be the next presidential candidate, he revealed a surprising pick as his first choice.
