Alert – Joe Rogan exposes why he will never move to Australia

US podcaster Joe Rogan has told his massive audience that he would not move to because the country put people in ‘concentration camps’ for ‘a cold’ during the Covid lockdowns.

He also said that kind of repression was only possible because prevented its people having guns.

The remarks came during Rogan’s conversation with retired Mixed Martial Arts fighter Royce Gracie as they discussed a perceived reduction in personal freedom in the US amid rising crime.

‘I keep telling people if America falls I think the whole world will fall, the rest of the world will fall,’ Gracie said.

‘Yeah, maybe that’s the plan,’ responded Rogan, who has over 14.5million followers for his podcasts on Spotify. 

‘There’s no place that has this kind of freedom,’ he added as Royce continued to ask ‘where would you go’?

Eventually Rogan said he once considered was a viable alternative to the US but his mind had since changed.

‘I used to think but then I saw how they handled the pandemic I was like ‘”oh f**, that well that’s what happens when no one has guns”,’ he said.

‘Yep the army just rolls in and tells you what to do and puts you in concentration camps because you have a cold, like it’s crazy.’

During the Covid pandemic quarantined people arriving in the country for weeks before they were able to enter the community.

Most were put in hotels but some were also housed in temporary isolation camps.

Opponents of the quarantine arrangement described the Howard Springs centre as  a ‘concentration camp’.

These quarantined at Howard Springs were charged for the cost of accommodation, food, medical support, policing and security.

Even members of ‘s Olympic team returning from the Tokyo Olympics did 14 day stays at the facility.

Djokovic was forced to leave just days before he was scheduled to walk on court as the defending n Open champion in January 2022 because he entered the country unvaccinated during pandemic border restrictions.

In an interview with US TV network CBS in December Djokovic revealed the experience still scarred him.

‘I was basically declared as a villain of the world,’ he said. 

Djokovic admitted that although he has often not been a crowd favourite, what happened to him in was a different level of antagonism.

‘I had that kind of experience on the tennis court with, with crowds that were not maybe cheering me on, but I never had this particular experience before in my life,’ he said.

Djokovic was asked by interviewer Jon Wertheim if he ‘misread’ the mood of the n public who ‘felt very strongly about vaccination’ and did not like the perceived Serbian star’s ‘exceptionalism’.

‘It was not up to me to read an anybody,’ Djokovic stated.

‘I got the permission to come into the country and, and so of course, it escalated to the highest of the highest levels globally.’

Melbourne, where the n Open is staged, was locked down for a record 262 non-consecutive days during the pandemic. 

The measures at time included a curfew and orders for residents not to breach a 5km radius from their place of residence.

It was the world’s biggest mass shooting at the time and saw legislation enacted to remove semi-automatic weapons and crack down on gun ownership generally. 

Laws have tightened in the years since and in NSW, the most populous n state, those wanting a gun must supply ‘genuine reason for owning a firearm‘.
