The personalities that appear on the show have multitudes of backgrounds, from music to politics and from sports to literature.

Joe Rogan invited the famous movie producer, Mark Boal, to the podcast. As expected, the duo conversed about numerous topics. However, Rogan could not back down from talking about Russia.

Joe Rogan thinks Russians try to undermine people’s faith

In the recent episode of JRE, Mark Boal admitted that the Russian energy sector was good. But when Joe Rogan asked what it could be attributed to, Boal couldn’t think of anything else except security.

He said, “So he puts like a lot of energy into like military, military intelligence, like propaganda, security, f**king with other people’s elections, which they are pretty good at.”

The beloved UFC commentator instantly agreed to Boal’s words.

Rogan said, “They undermine democracy, they get people fighting and they consistently go into all these places where people communicate and debate ideas and they do it with bots. And they, they make some points outrageous because they connect them to preposterous points. They, they do something where they undermine our trust. And that’s the overall long game goal. It’s to undermine democracy.”

Furthermore, he said, “They’re just trying to get people radicalized and trying to get people to be polarized to the opposite side and trying to divide up, divide us as much as possible. And undermine any faith that we might have in the way we have our elections and the way the government is run. It’s like a consistent effort to undermine our faith in the way our democracy works.”

Joe Rogan’s remark in UFC 282

Joe Rogan’s sense of humor is nothing short of a 10 on 10. During the UFC 282 weigh-ins, Rogan’s mic got muted while interviewing Jan Blachowicz. Surprisingly, the commentator’s comedy began splashing as he tried to cover it up.

The 55-year-old commentator said, “The Russians. They’re on us.”

Without a doubt, the comment wasn’t appreciated by Russian enthusiasts. Shortly after Rogan’s words, Magomed Ankalaev was seen walking out after his interview.
