Podcast host Joe Rogan explained to Oscar-winning actor Michael Douglas why the Democratic Party lost his support, pointing to the Biden administration's immigration policies and what he described as the party's failure to conduct an honest presidential primary.

During the interview on his podcast this week, Rogan criticized the administration's handling of the southern border, arguing that allowing millions of migrants to enter the country and providing them with assistance was unreasonable and raised questions about Democrats' motivations.

“First of all, the open border was INSANE,” Rogan said. “It was insane to just not only leave the border open, but give people instructions on how to get in and also to transport them to cities and put them up in hotels. It was really clear that a game was being played. You can speculate all you want as to what that game was — was it for cheap labor, was it to turn these people into citizens and have them permanently voting your side? I don’t know what it is. But it was something.”

“If you want me to be a Democrat while you’re just letting people fly in, I’m like ‘Hey! Fix that!’ It seems crazy to have 10 million people of unknown origin enter into your country over a period of four years,” he added.

Rogan also took issue with how Democrats handled their presidential nomination process, arguing that party leaders either effectively selected a candidate for voters or pushed President Joe Biden forward despite concerns about his fitness for office.

“If it’s like, ‘We have to win, so we’re just going to push that aside, and here’s your candidate!’ What the f*** are you doing? That’s not how it’s supposed to be done, and if you want me to vote for that — I’m not going to vote for that. That seems crazy. That seems dangerous. You know Biden wasn’t the f***ing president for four years. It’s really clear his mental ability was severely declined,” Rogan said.

Douglas, a lifelong Democrat with moderate political leanings, provided the backdrop for Rogan's explanation of why he became disillusioned with the party. Their conversation touched on two major sources of criticism facing Democratic leadership: immigration enforcement and concerns over whether voters had a genuine say in choosing the party's presidential nominee.
