Menos de uma semana depois de entrevistar o astro de reality show e ex-presidente Donald Trump , o podcaster Joe Rogan conduziu outra entrevista de três horas — com o companheiro de chapa de Trump, o senador JD Vance (R-OH).
Como observamos em nossa cobertura recente da entrevista de Trump no programa Joe Rogan Experience , os podcasts rapidamente se tornaram um fator altamente influente nas semanas que antecederam a eleição de 2024.
Antes da entrevista de Rogan com Trump, a candidata democrata e vice-presidente Kamala Harris sentou-se para aparecer no conceituado podcast Call Her Daddy de Alex Cooper .
Alex, que é frequentemente descrita como a segunda podcaster mais influente — atrás apenas de Joe — estendeu um convite a Trump, que se recusou a aparecer em seu programa.
Joe tuitou na terça-feira sobre fazer uma entrevista semelhante com Kamala Harris, acrescentando que queria que o vice-presidente viajasse até ele e se comprometesse a falar por mais de uma hora… um pedido bem grande, considerando que faltava uma semana para a eleição.
No entanto, Vance foi até Austin para assistir aos três debates, e os fãs ficaram surpresos quando Joe o desafiou em uma das questões mais acaloradas e controversas da eleição.

[Aplausos confusos]
A entrevista de Joe com Vance na verdade ultrapassou a marca de três horas, durando mais 17 minutos.
Várias trocas de mensagens se destacaram nas redes sociais, em particular uma em que Vance afirmou que entrou em modo “lutar ou fugir” em um campo de minigolfe após saber que seu futuro companheiro de chapa havia sido alvejado em um comício em Butler, Pensilvânia, em 13 de julho.
Vance ainda não havia sido anunciado como companheiro de chapa de Trump na época do incidente.
Vance expressou suas opiniões sobre uma série de questões, mas em uma conversa notável, Rogan o desafiou amigavelmente sobre o que se tornou um grande ponto de inflexão em 2024: o aborto.
Conforme observado acima, Joe mora em Austin, Texas, e as pessoas em seu estado sofreram significativamente devido às mudanças partidárias nas leis de aborto, tanto antes quanto depois da decisão Dobbs v. Jackson de 2022 da Suprema Corte , que funcionalmente “anulou” Roe v. Wade.
A entrevista de Vance com Rogan ocorreu no contexto de um artigo da ProPublica sobre uma jovem texana, Josseli Barnica, que morreu de sepse durante um aborto espontâneo em 2021 — os médicos se viram legalmente proibidos de salvar sua vida antes mesmo de Dobbs amarrar suas mãos com mais força.
Rogan foi um pouco mais agressivo do que normalmente é quando levantou a questão da medicina reprodutiva para Vance, talvez devido ao fato de que mulheres estão morrendo em seu estado, Texas, agora mesmo:
“Isso — isso é preocupante para mim, que podemos fazer — se houver um lugar no país onde seja legal fazer um procedimento médico, e você vive em um estado onde não é legal que seu estado possa decidir o que você pode ou não fazer com seu corpo, o que é essencialmente baseado em uma ideia religiosa…”
Joe disse posteriormente que não acreditava que o governo deveria monitorar as viagens dos americanos, usando o exemplo de cruzar fronteiras estaduais para ter acesso a cuidados reprodutivos.
Vance evitou a pergunta de Joe, concentrando-se no aspecto de “vigilância de viagens” e respondeu timidamente:
“Não gosto da ideia, para ser claro. Não ouvi falar disso, talvez como uma possibilidade, mas não como algo que realmente exista na lei, mas não ouvi falar de alguém sendo preso, e não gosto da ideia de prender pessoas por se deslocarem pelo país.”

Biografia
Joe Rogan construiu carreiras sucessivas como comediante, ator e comentarista. Nascido em Nova Jersey em 1967, Rogan é atualmente mais conhecido por apresentar o popular podcast ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’, que apresentou uma ampla gama de convidados e tópicos ao longo dos anos.
Rogan começou sua carreira em comédia stand-up na década de 1990 e rapidamente se tornou conhecido por seu humor irreverente e às vezes controverso. Ele conseguiu vários papéis de ator, incluindo uma longa temporada no seriado de sucesso ‘Fear Factor’. Rogan também é um comentarista de longa data do Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).
Throughout his career, Rogan has placed himself at the center of various controversies, particularly over transphobic and sexist comments, and his support for conspiracy theories and alternative medicine. Rogan has defended himself against these accusations, stating that he is simply a critical thinker who is not afraid to ask tough questions. Throughout these controversies, Rogan’s influence in comedy and podcast-hosting has only amplified, and he continues to be a popular and divisive figure in the worlds of entertainment and politics.
Career
1980s
In 1988, at 21 years old, Rogan performed his first stand-up set, in Boston. He describes his first several years in the entertainment business as a series of financial struggles, in which he worked other jobs to support himself, including teaching martial arts.
1990s
In the 90s, Rogan’s career reached new heights with a successful stint on the NBC comedy series NewsRadio, where he played the character of Joe Garrelli. He also hosted the competition series Fear Factor, where he dared contestants to perform extreme and often nauseating challenges for cash prizes.
During this time period, he continued to tour and do stand-up routines, and in 1997, he took a job as a commentator and interviewer for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), a Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) program that produces events worldwide. He quit after two years, but would return to this job later.
In 1999, he started negotiations to appear in his own sitcom, The Joe Rogan Show, on Fox. He also recorded his first stand-up album, I’m Gonna Be Dead Someday, to be released the following year.
2000s
In 2001, Rogan accepted an offer to host Fear Factor, saying he thought it would provide him with material for his comedy routines. He also briefly hosted The Man Show on Comedy Central before disagreements over content brought that to an end.
During this time, Rogan began negotiations for his own radio show, and began turning his stand-up comedy into a web series called JoeShow.
2007 marked his second stand-up special, Joe Rogan: Live, and his fourth comedy album, Shiny Happy Jihad.
In 2009, he briefly hosted a reality show called Game Show In My Head, and launched his podcast, The Joe Rogan Show.
2010s
.
In 2011, Rogan returned to Fear Factor as host.
By this time, his schedule was packed – he continued to be involved with UFC events, took a role in the movie Zookeeper and one in Here Comes The Boom, continued to do comedy routines, hosted his podcast, and was working on a book based on his blog posts.
In 2012, he released another Comedy special, Live From The Tabernacle, and launched a 6-episode television show called Joe Rogan Questions Everything.
His podcast, now called The Joe Rogan Experience, continued to grow in popularity, hitting a milestone of 16 million downloads per month in 2015.
2020s
In 2020, Rogan announced he’d signed a deal to produce his podcast exclusively for Spotify. His podcast would continue to be a major source of controversy, where Rogan would share political views, social commentary, and conspiracy theories.
Business Ventures
Aside from his podcast and his employment in the entertainment business, Rogan owns a comedy club in Texas called Comedy Mothership.
He is also a co-founder of the supplement and fitness company, Onnit, and uses his podcast to promote its products.
Personal Life
Relationships
Rogan was married in 2009 to Jessica Ditzel, with whom he has a stepdaughter and two daughters.
Religion
Rogan was raised in a Catholic home, and attended Catholic school, but as an adult, says he does not believe in organized religion. Instead he describes himself as an agnostic, with interest in the spiritual, and says that he experimented with a variety of experiences to explore a higher consciousness, including sensory deprivation, isolation tanks, and meditation.
He also promotes substances ranging from cannabis to LSD and DMT as means to explore consciousness, and has been involved with documentaries about these substances.
Health
Rogan is heavily involved with martial arts, starting with taekwondo and karate as a child, then jiu-jitsu as an adult.
He heavily promotes fitness supplements, and has shared about some of his dietary experiments, including a 2020 attempt at a carnivorous diet, supplemented with amino acids and fish oil. He says this helped him lose weight and address some unspecified health struggles, but admits it was hard on his digestive system.
He has anti-vax stances and maintains that young, healthy people should avoid the COVID-19 vaccine, but also says that he doesn’t have the knowledge to back up these views and that he shouldn’t be considered “a respected source of information.”
Net Worth
Rogan’s net worth is reportedly around $120 million.
He continues to run his podcast under an estimated $200 million contract with Spotify.
Activism
Joe Rogan’s activism has been in favor of fitness supplements and the use of illicit substances.
In addition, he’s a pro-hunting activist, and has taken a stance against routine infant circumcision.
A significant portion of his most recent activism has been anti-transgender, spreading conspiracy theories (such as the false claim that litter boxes are being installed in schools for kids who identify as furry) and anti-trans rhetoric on his podcast.
Controversies
Rogan is usually engaged in controversy of one sort or another. His commentary on matters from vaccines – specifically promoting the use of an antiparasitic medication, ivermectin, and various unproven supplements to treat COVID-19, rather than being vaccinated – to politics to LGBTQ rights has earned him the side-eye from much of the public.
Médicos e defensores da saúde pediram ao Spotify para impedir que Rogan e outros divulgassem narrativas falsas sobre saúde em sua plataforma, e ele recebeu uma reação significativa por sua retórica anti-LGBTQ.
