Joe Rogan Calls Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz “Dangerous” and Criticizes His Stage Behavior as “Fake and Performative”

During a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Andrew Doyle joined Joe Rogan for a  conversation that eventually turned toward American politics. Rogan offered blunt criticism of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, focusing on both his political positions and the way he presents himself publicly.

Rogan’s strongest concern centered on Walz’s comments about constitutional rights, especially freedom of speech. The discussion referenced a moment from the vice presidential debate between JD Vance and Tim Walz, where Walz made a statement that Rogan found deeply troubling.

Doyle recalled the remark, saying: “Tim Walz said that the First Amendment doesn’t cover hate speech. It doesn’t cover misinformation.”

Rogan immediately agreed, describing the position as alarming, particularly coming from someone who could potentially hold national office. He responded harshly, calling Walz “a dangerous f**k,” and suggesting that such an attitude toward speech protections should not be taken lightly.

Beyond policy, Rogan also criticized Walz’s public demeanor and stage presence. He argued that the governor comes across as artificial and overly calculated.

“Just the way he behaves is so odd,” Rogan said. “The way he waves and runs on stage and it’s all just so fake and performative. I don’t know any men like that that aren’t dangerous.”

Doyle then questioned why Walz was chosen for such a prominent role, asking: “Why was he picked?”

Rogan speculated that it may have been connected to events and political dynamics in Minnesota. “Probably because of the Minnesota stuff,” he said, suggesting there could be financial or political motivations behind the decision.

Rogan went further, emphasizing that he was only guessing and admitted he lacked certainty. “Maybe there’s a reason why he had to resign,” Rogan added, before clarifying: “I’m clearly speculating. I have no idea and I’m a m**on when it comes to politics.”

Still, Rogan suggested that if fraud or corruption had been occurring, Walz may have been aware of it earlier than the public. He stated, “What I would assume is that the for sure he was informed of this fraud long in advance.”
