Joe Rogan fears free speech clamp down under a Harris-Walz admin

Joe Rogan shared an ominous prediction about the state of free speech if Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz win the November election, arguing the Democratic ticket poses a grave threat to the First Amendment.Rogan offered his thoughts on the troubling trend of censorship in the US in a conversation with former Navy Seal, ex-CIA contractor and podcaster Shawn Ryan in an episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” released Thursday.“I don’t think it turns around if Kamala Harris gets into office,” Rogan said of the censorship trend, “I think they clamp down more.”“I think the same stuff they were trying to do with Twitter they’ll try to do with other things,” Rogan added, “They’ve already openly discussed it.She’s openly discussed the same rules have to apply to Facebook have to apply to Twitter.

And that Elon Musk could lose his privileges.”Elon Musk echoed Rogan’s sentiment on X.The Tesla CEO reposted a clip of the podcast adding the message, “Joe is absolutely right.”In a 2022 appearance on the podcast, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed to Rogan that the federal government – including members of the FBI – had pressured the social media giant to censor certain content in the lead-up to the 2020 election.

The government influence reached a crescendo following the The Post’s exclusive reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop.The coverage was infamously censored on both Facebook and X, formerly Twitter. In 2023, the Twitter Files revealed the extent to which federal employees were influencing content moderators at the social media site – especially the Hunter Biden laptop story.Rogan, in his Thursday podcast episode, skewered Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Gov.

Tim Walz.“There’s so many wild things that they’re saying.Tim Walz said that the First Amendment doesn’t apply to misinformation or hate speech.

Okay, well it certainly does.It does.

People will say things wrong.The goal of the First Amen...
