Rogan said, “It doesn’t make sense. They’re still in jail. Like when we’re talking about Brittney Griner, yes, it’s terrible that they put her in jail for that. But it’s crazy we have thousands of people in American jail for the same f***ing thing, thousands and thousands of them.”

His guest, Dillon, questioned, “You think we’d get her out?”

That’s when the commentator revealed his thoughts about negotiations happening. He said, “I think they’re going to make a negotiation. But politically, it’s the smart thing to do, I think, to leave her in jail is a horrible slight. But it also highlights the many Americans that are in jail…”.

Through the Griner case, Rogan wanted some attention on several other similar cases as well. Instead, he expressed that there are other actions that people should get jailed for.

Tim Dillon agreed with Rogan and wished there was a way to get people out of jail for actions similar to Griner’s.
