Joe Rogan is showing support for Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s controversial speech to top U.S. military officials about revamping the military and ridding it of “woke” culture and “politically toxic garbage.”
During Tuesday’s episode of his “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast featuring The Red Clay Strays band, Rogan said the government is establishing a “moral and ethical mandate” within the armed forces with “no more identity politics and bullshit,” adding that the Trump administration’s approach “makes sense.”
Rogan argued that the “most important thing” the country’s military leadership can do is “be ready.”
“Be ready, have the best [and] most capable military that’s humanly possible given the resources that we have today. ‘This is what our goal is. This is what our job is,’” Rogan said.
The Red Clay Strays’ bass player, Andrew Bishop, then questioned Rogan on whether the Trump administration “needed to call everybody together” for the highly-criticized multimillion-dollar meeting to accomplish that.
