Joe Rogan, host of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” slammed former President Donald Trump again during a recent episode on his podcast, saying that Trump was “a man baby.”
Rogan’s remarks are just the latest example of the famed comedian distancing himself from America’s 45th president after he previously said nice things about the president prior to the 2020 election.
Rogan told a guest on his show that he had heard that Trump’s advisers would put his name in the CIA briefings every morning multiple times as a way of keeping him engaged with the material that he was supposed to be reading.
“[Son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner] came up with a formula to keep him engaged — he obviously was close to him and knew him well and the formula was um, like two good, one bad,” the guest said. “So if they were gonna give him bad news … you start with some good news. So they go, ‘This is going well, everybody’s thrilled with you about this. Here’s a bad thing. Also people love you for this.’”
“Of course!” Rogan responded, “He’s a man baby.”
Rogan’s most recent jabs against Trump come after he threw his weight behind Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis to be the next president of the United States.
Rogan made the remarks as he interviewed actress Gina Carano who starred in The Daily Wire’s newest hit film “Terror on the Prairie.”
“It’s very interesting because what [The Daily Wire is] doing is they’re creating a right-wing alternative to, they’re doing stand up comedy, they’re doing podcasts, they’re doing all these different things and Ben’s a pretty f***ing brilliant guy,” Rogan said. “It’s really interesting like as a business model like there is a market for that. People are tired of being spoon fed one ideology.”
At a different point in the podcast, Rogan was asked by Carano, “Are you throwing out any support towards anyone or are you going to hold off and – didn’t Elon Musk come out recently for DeSantis?”
“Yeah, I think Ron DeSantis would work as a good president. I think, I mean, what he’s done for Florida has been admirable,” Rogan said. “I feel like what he did for Florida, a lot of people gave him a lot of grief, but ultimately, he was correct. He was correct when it comes to like deaths. He was correct when it comes to protecting our vulnerable populations. He was correct in terms of distribution of monoclonal antibodies, and he was furious when the government tried to pull those, they were trying to pull very effective treatments.”
“You know, he is not perfect, he’s a human being,” he continued. “But what he’s done is stand up for freedoms and people think that, there’s some weird gaslighting s*** that went on where people equated freedom and saying the word freedom to like right wing bigotry and hate, it is so strange.”
Rogan took a shot earlier this month against Trump, saying that he refuses to interview the former president because he does not want to help Trump in any way.
“The Trump era is also going to be one of the weirder times. When people look back historically about the division in this country, he’s such a polarizing figure that so many people felt like they could abandon their own ethics and morals and principles just to attack him and anybody who supports him because he is an existential threat to democracy itself,” Rogan said. “By the way, I’m not a Trump supporter in any way, shape or form. I’ve had the opportunity to have him on my show more than once — I’ve said no, every time. I don’t want to help him. I’m not interested in helping him.”
