Joe Rogan urged state Representative James Talarico to consider a presidential run, emphasizing the need for compassionate leadership. Talarico reflected on how politics has evolved into a form of religion, with supporters treating politicians like messianic figures. He noted this phenomenon concerning both Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump, acknowledging their flaws while recognizing Sanders' consistent stance throughout his career. Rogan criticized certain Texas abortion restrictions during their discussion, describing them as very creepy. Talarico concluded that real change would come from engaged listeners rather than solely from political figures.
You need to run for president. We need someone who is actually a good person.
Politics has become a religion. People put all their faith in a politician.
I've seen it with Bernie. I like Bernie a whole lot, but some people treat him as if he's a messianic figure.
The change is going to come from your listeners, not from me. I can be a part of that.
