I'm not sure why he can't afford a fact better. It was insane no just not only leave the border open, but give people instructions on how to get in and also transport them to cities and then put them up in hotels. Was it for cheap labor? Was it to turn these people into citizens and have them permanently voting your side because you helped them and let them in? I didn't like the whole COVID vaccine mandatory thing that they worse pushing for those four years. I didn't like the coercion. To me, that's what that group stood for. Joe Rogan has 74,200,000 followers across several platforms, and the Joe Rogan experience was the number one podcast in The United States. He signed a $250,000,000 deal for that podcast. I'm not... Yeah. Yeah. I'm not sure why he can't afford a fact better, but very, very quickly, let me say this. Best me say this. He said in our opening clip, it was insane to just not only leave the border open. That was false. Biden even explicitly told migrants, don't come over. During an ABC News interview with George Stephanopoulos in March 2021, the administration was still turning away most single adults and many families under title 42. Number two, Joe Rogan said, give people instructions on how to get in and also transport them to cities and then put them up in hotels. Who organized and paid for transport, Joe? Republican governors, Texas governor Greg Abbott, and Florida governor Ron DeSantis initiated and funded the high profile state run busing and flight operations. He said, was it to turn these people into citizens and have them permanently voting your side because you help them and let them in? Votes by noncitizens are very rare. How rare, you ask? Between 0.00030.001%. You're welcome, Joe.
