Podcast host Joe Rogan has sharply criticized Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, branding him dangerous over the governors stance on free speech and his role in the Somali fraud scandal that rocked the state.
According to Gateway Pundit, Rogans remarks came during a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience featuring writer Andrew Doyle, in which the two discussed Walzs performance in his lone 2024 vice-presidential debate against JD Vance. Doyle recalled that Walz openly suggested there is no First Amendment protection for so-called hate speech or misinformation, a position that aligns with the lefts growing hostility toward robust free expression and that stands in stark contrast to traditional American constitutionalism.
Doyle noted that Walz had effectively argued that the First Amendment does not shield speech that elites deem unacceptable, prompting Rogan to respond by calling the Democrat governor dangerous and tying that mindset to Walzs abrupt withdrawal from his 2026 reelection bid amid the widening Somali fraud scandal. Hes a dangerous fuck, that guy, Rogan said, underscoring his concern that politicians like Walz are willing to erode civil liberties while presiding over massive government abuse and mismanagement.
Rogan further pointed to the timing of anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis, which erupted just as explosive reports of large-scale Somali-related fraud in Minnesota were gaining national attention, suggesting that the overlap was more than mere coincidence. He went on to speculate that Walz was likely aware of the fraud long before it became public, echoing suspicions already circulating among watchdogs and conservative commentators.
When Doyle asked why Walz was chosen as the 2024 vice-presidential nominee, Rogan suggested that the governors permissive environment for corruption may have been part of the appeal to Democrat power brokers. It probably had something to do with what he was allowing to happen in Minnesota. They were probably making a ton of money Theres a reason why he had to resign, Rogan said, adding, I mean, Im clearly speculating. I have no idea and Im a moron when it comes to politics. But what I would assume is that the for sure he was informed of this fraud long in advance.
For many conservatives, the 2024 election was pivotal not only because it returned President Donald Trumps America First agenda to Washington, but also because it kept Tim Walz far from the levers of federal power. Had a HarrisWalz ticket prevailed, critics argue that the same political machine willing to blur constitutional limits and tolerate massive fraud might have moved to muzzle platforms like Twitter/X to bury the scandal rather than expose it, leaving taxpayers and the rule of law as the ultimate casualties.
