''That's our Royals as celebrities and nonsense and whether it's the president who's a celebrity or congress person who's become a celebrity, you know AOC, it's not about her policies, it's about her saying stupid sh*t. It's like, that's all people care about. So a reality show and we're kind of conditioned by reality shows right, we have so many that we watch and so many things that we pay attention to that are nonsense, that distract us, that we like to sort of apply those same viewing habits to the whole world.''

When Joe Rogan opened up about his political allegiance

Despite Joe Rogan's endorsement of Donald Trump prior to the presidential elections last year, Rogan doesn't consider himself a Republican or a Democrat.

Rogan spoke to Warren Smith on his JRE podcast and discussed his political stance, saying:

''It doesn't make sense to be on a team, it doesn't make sense at all. Even for someone like me... I went to the inauguration, it was bizarre. I don't consider myself a Republican. I don't consider Democrat either. I consider myself an American... The idea I have to ignore things that make sense to me because it's coming from the wrong team is just stupid. These are bad faith arguments... That to me is just dumb, it doesn't benefit me at all. It doesn't benefit anybody... It's so limiting."
