Joe Rogan, host of &#8220;The Joe Rogan Experience,&#8221; said during a recent show that he believes that the upcoming midterm elections are going to be a bloodbath for Democrats.
Rogan made the remarks while speaking to comedian Bridget Phetasy about the culture of fear that exists in America where people don&#8217;t feel like they can voice their opinions without facing backlash.
Rogan made the remarks after Phetasy said that she believes that a lot of people who buy into the transgender movement do so to &#8220;signal&#8221; that they&#8217;re &#8220;part of the high status in-group.&#8221;
&#8220;Yeah, it&#8217;s real strange,&#8221; Rogan said. &#8220;It&#8217;s real strange to just openly accept all this stuff without any pushback.&#8221;
&#8220;I think there will be pushback, though, again, I think we&#8217;re seeing it in Europe,&#8221; Phetasy said. &#8220;And they were like leaders of this kind of movement. And now it seems like they&#8217;re coming to their senses a little bit and following science. I don&#8217;t necessarily see that, although we might see it in the midterms. You know, like, again, people tend to voice their opinion on these things at the ballot when they don&#8217;t have to voice their opinion.&#8221;
&#8220;And there are a lot of people that are afraid of talking about it,&#8221; Rogan responded. &#8220;But they&#8217;re not afraid of voting about it. Because there&#8217;s a lot of people that are afraid of the reprisal. They&#8217;re afraid of getting attacked, and they&#8217;ll sit silently, when they&#8217;re amongst friends going, &#8216;What the f*** is going on? Like what is going on?&#8217; And those people, that&#8217;s going to be responsible for the red wave. I think the red wave that&#8217;s coming is going to be like the elevator doors opening up in &#8216;The Shining.&#8217; That&#8217;s what I think. I think people are just like, &#8216;What the f*** are you saying?&#8217; They&#8217;re making Republicans.&#8221;

TRANSCRIPT:
<blockquote>BRIDGET PHETASY: You&#8217;ll get attacked, people are afraid to say this around their friend groups. It&#8217;s another way to kind of signal that you&#8217;re part of the high status in-group is to be like, &#8216;boys and girls aren&#8217;t different&#8217;.
JOE ROGAN: Yeah, it&#8217;s real strange. It&#8217;s real strange to just openly accept all this stuff without any pushback.
PHETASY: I think there will be pushback, though, again, I think we&#8217;re seeing it in Europe. And they were like leaders of this kind of movement. And now it seems like they&#8217;re coming to their senses a little bit and following science. I don&#8217;t necessarily see that, although we might see it in the midterms. You know, like, again, people tend to voice their opinion on these things at the ballot when they don&#8217;t have to voice their opinion.
ROGAN: And there are a lot of people that are afraid of talking about it. But they&#8217;re not afraid of voting about it. Because there&#8217;s a lot of people that are afraid of the reprisal. They&#8217;re afraid of getting attacked, and they&#8217;ll sit silently, when they&#8217;re amongst friends going, &#8216;What the f*** is going on? Like what is going on?&#8217; And those people, that&#8217;s going to be responsible for the red wave. I think the red wave that&#8217;s coming is going to be like the elevator doors opening up in &#8216;The Shining&#8217;. That&#8217;s what I think. I think people are just like, &#8216;What the f*** are you saying?&#8217; They&#8217;re making Republicans.
PHETASY: I don&#8217;t know how they&#8217;re doing it. I had a family member &#8230; who is a boomer and a diehard liberal. And they told me when I was home this summer that they would vote for DeSantis. And I&#8217;m like, &#8216;how did you lose this person?&#8217; How did you lose this person? This is a, this is a like, go to the ballot and vote blue no matter what. And you&#8217;ve lost even the boomers.
ROGAN: You&#8217;ve lost a lot of them that aren&#8217;t talking about it. There&#8217;s a lot of them. You know, you&#8217;re seeing in New York City, Hochul, like debating that Republican candidate. That guy gained ground. Like they&#8217;re they&#8217;re worried about New York becoming Republican, which is wild.
PHETASY: I was reading last night an article about in Oregon, there is there&#8217;s an Independent woman running and then a Democrat and Republican and the Republican they think might win. Biden was in Oregon, like stumping for the Democratic candidate, because they&#8217;re so worried Oregon&#8217;s going to have a Republican governor the first time in 40 years.
ROGAN: That&#8217;s wild.
PHETASY: Oregon!
ROGAN: Well it almost happened in &#8230; New Jersey rather. New Jersey got down to the wire and New Jersey is another place that&#8217;s always been Democrat. And again, I really think that with all the polls and all that stuff, that&#8217;s indicative of like, the mindset of a lot of people that are willing to take polls.
PHETASY: Which is not that many people.
ROGAN: Not that many, but there&#8217;s a lot of people silently that are, &#8216;What the f**k is going on?&#8217; And it&#8217;s not just that it&#8217;s crime. Crime is a big one. The way they&#8217;re handling crime, the way the releasing people that are committing violent crimes, and then putting them right back on the street. People are freaking the f*** out. The way that they&#8217;re handling the homeless situation. &#8230; We looked at this video the other day of in Portland, they were showing discarded needles that they&#8217;ve collected from the streets, they had f**king barrels of them, barrels and barrels of these discarded needles. It&#8217;s crazy and it&#8217;s so quick.
PHETASY: And what&#8217;s crazy too is there&#8217;s just this like fundamental disdain for the taxpaying people.</blockquote>
