Joe Rogan, in a new episode of his Joe Rogan Experience podcast, slammed the Democrats for “organizing gangs” of supporters to attend rallies and protests where they receive instructions for engaging in violence.
The episode with comedian Francis Foster and political commentator Konstantin Kisin aired Saturday on Rogan’s YouTube page.
Rogan’s comments come in response to violent Tesla protests and vandalism across the nation and recent astroturf rallies featuring Bernie Sanders and AOC.
According to data scientist and entrepreneur Tony Seruga, Bernie Sanders and AOC’s claim that 34,000 supporters turned out in Denver, Colorado for their “fighting oligarchy” rally is disproven by cell phone GBP data, which shows only about 20,000 devices in the area. Additionally, “84% of the devices present had attended 9 or more Kamala Harris rallies, antifa/blm, pro-Hamas, pro-Palestinian protests, 31% had attended over 20,” Segura said.
GPS—Here we go again, there were 20,189 devices. Still a large crowd but not even close to the 30,000 quoted in Denver newspapers nor the 34,000 quoted by Bernie Sanders and AOC.

Highlighting these findings, Rogan concluded, “it seems like, at least in some of them, for sure, they were paying people.” He continued, “You’re pretending that these people are all coming out to see you, but they’re coming out to see you because you’re giving them money and free food. And, you know, you handed out water bottles, and everybody gets a sign, and everybody seems like they’re kind of a part of a team.”
“And for a lot of losers, a lot of people that don’t have things going well in their life,” getting paid to go to a protest is a no-brainer, he said. Rogan then noted that the Democrats are radicalizing these people in support of their agenda and giving them instructions on how to participate in violence, comparing it to “organizing gangs.”
“I thought you guys were peacefully protesting. Like, who’s going to get violent?” he said. “How many pro-Tesla f*cking hooligans are out there beating people up for Tesla? Isn’t it f*cking zero?”
WATCH:
Rogan: They claimed there was 30,000 people, but they got all the cell phone data, and they found out there was 24,000 cell phones. So, they fudged a little bit; that sounds normal. But they also said that a huge number of these people had been to 20 plus events and a lot of other different like progressive events, and it seems like, at least in some of them, for sure, they were paying people. So, they’re giving people money to get on a bus, go to this place, here’s your sign, go have fun. And so you’re doing something different, right? You’re pretending that these people are all coming out to see you, but they’re coming out to see you because you’re giving them money and free food. And, you know, you handed out water bottles, and everybody gets a sign, and everybody seems like they’re kind of a part of a team.
And for a lot of losers, a lot of people that don’t have things going well in their life— you know, I was a loser at many points my life. If somebody called me up and said, ‘Hey, man, you want to make 400 bucks and just go to this Kamala Harris rally?’ I’d be like yeah, let’s go. I would 100% go. I would 100% go with no political— and then I’d probably think she’s cool. I’d be like, ‘Yeah, I’m f*cking voting for her, dude. He’s Hitler, that guy. We’ve gotta stop Hitler. And I’d be holding up that stupid sign. If you found me when I was 21, 100% I would have taken that 400 bucks.
They were giving out 1,000 bucks for people to protest, I think it was Tesla. I’m not sure about that, but I think it was Tesla. So, they had, like, the rules of engagement: If someone comes after you, hit them in the body, don’t pick up an object unless they pick up an object first. Like, like, are you organizing gangs? Like, are you are you guys paying money for people and then literally saying to them, here’s what happens if you engage in violence? Like, why is that even on the table? I thought you guys were peacefully protesting. Like, who’s going to get violent? How many pro Tesla f*cking hooligans are out there beating people up for Tesla? Isn’t it f*cking zero? I have not seen a bunch of pro-Tesla gang members out there, so what are you gonna encounter with this anti-Tesla movement? The police? Like, who’s gonna stop you from doing—who’s gonna engage with you? Like, this is you’re kind of talking in a way that at least puts it on the table that violence might take place. And you’re paying people!
Krisin: And because they destroyed language, now it sort of logically makes sense, right? If these people are Nazis, if you actually thought they were Nazis, if you actually thought Nazis had taken over your country, you’d pick up a gun.
Rogan: You shouldn’t need 1,000 bucks and free lunch. The 1,000 bucks and free lunch is crazy
I would have a hard time doing 1,000 bucks one. I’d be like, bro, we’re going to jail. I’d be like I’m not that stupid. I’ll hold the sign. I’ll go to the rally. But if I was 21, they said, ‘look, 1,000 bucks, wanna protest against Tesla?’ I’d be like, hold on, what happens if we get arrested? Like, this guy’s rich. He’s not gonna let you f*cking cars on fire, stupid. He’s the richest man on earth. Like, what are you talking about?
Elon Musk, the victim of this violence by anti-Tesla gangs, commented on the clip, saying on X, “Who is funding and organizing all these paid protests?“
