Podcaster Joe Rogan has warned his millions of viewers and listeners that Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris will destroy Americans’ free speech rights if she’s elected president in November.
During his show “The Joe Rogan Experience,” the host said the First Amendment will be under serious threat because of how extreme Harris and her running mate Tim Walz are.
Rogan issued the warning this week while talking with his guest, former U.S. Navy SEAL Shawn Ryan.
Speaking the political Left’s desire to censor speech, Rogan said:
“I don’t think it turns around if Kamala Harris gets into office, I think they clamp down more.
“I think the same stuff that they were trying to do with Twitter, they’ll try to do with something else and with other things — they’ve already openly discussed it.”
“You know, she’s openly discussed that the same rules have to apply to Facebook, they have to apply to Twitter, and that Elon Musk could lose his privileges,” he continued.
“There are so many wild things that they’re saying.
“Tim Walz said that the First Amendment doesn’t apply to misinformation or hate speech.”
He noted that the First Amendment is about protecting speech, including speech that is factually wrong.
Rogan explained that speech should need to be approved by Democrats and left-wing “fact-checkers” for it to be allowed.
He said that he was alarmed by how government officials used the COVID-19 pandemic to censor people.
Most of that censorship was aimed at people who spoke out against the government’s tyrannical abuse of power.
Rogan noted that much of the so-called “disinformation” that people were censored for was later proven to be true.
“How about masks don’t work?” Rogan said.
“You would get screamed at for saying masks don’t work.
“Well, guess what?” Rogan asked.
“They don’t work. They don’t work.
“Fauci said masks don’t work.
“Remember that interview before the pandemic, before they knew how big it was gonna be?
“He was like, you don’t have to wear a mask.
“Then it was wear two, then it was put two face diapers on.
“It’s bananas how easily people fell in line.
“That scared me the most.”
