Australian broadcast chair unleashes on Joe Rogan: 'Deeply repulsive'

"I think people like Mr. Rogan prey on people's vulnerabilities," he said. "They prey on fear. They prey on anxiety. They prey on all the elements that contribute to uncertainty in society."

He also suggested that Rogan pushes the idea that entrepreneurial and conspiratorial "fantasy" outcomes are a normal part of the "social narrative."

"I personally find it deeply repulsive and to think that someone has such remarkable power in the United States is something that I look at in disbelief," he said.

Williams said he was shocked that Rogan could be considered a source of entertainment when he and other similar figures are "treating the public as plunder for purposes that are really quite malevolent."

Rogan has espoused liberal views at times and expressed support for Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., in 2020 when he sought the Democratic nomination. However, in 2024, Rogan endorsed Trump shortly before the election.

Rogan referenced complaints on the left that they need their "own Joe Rogan" on Tuesday.
