Joe Rogan recently discussed police defunding with Donald Trump on The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE) podcast. The two expressed their concern about decent police officers whose reputations are damaged by those who aren't performing their duties well.
Following a lot of speculation, Trump made an appearance on JRE. Rogan, a well-known critic of the former president, interacted with him about a variety of subjects, such as the latter's defeat in the 2020 election, an attempted assassination, UFC fighters, the possible removal of the income tax, and more.
During his conversation with Trump, Rogan expressed his thoughts on the 'Defund the Police' movement, which began in 2020 following the death of George Floyd by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. Many opposed the funding granted to police departments, requesting that resources be reallocated for greater reasons.
The UFC commentator explained how honest police personnel are suffering as a result of the horrible deeds performed by corrupt authorities in the system.

''Unreported crime is way up because people have lost, look the morale that the police department has in a lot of these cities where they've done this defund the police bullsh*t, it's horrible, it's the dumbest idea of all time but what they've done is they've made these cops feel terrible, like good cops. I think cops are just like everybody else; most of them are great... they did all of these things in this very foolish way and these cops are suffering the consequences of it and so subsequently, what happens is a lot of crime is unreported.''

Joe Rogan talks about Kamala Harris not joining his podcast
There were numerous reports circulating about Vice President Kamala Harris appearing on the JRE podcast. However, this did not happen, and Rogan recently explained the reason behind it.
During his conversation with Francis Foster and Konstantin Kisin in a recent episode of his podcast, Rogan revealed that Harris couldn't make it because of her busy campaign schedule.
''She [Harris] had an opportunity to come here when she was in Texas, and I [extended] an open invitation [to her]...She actually reached out when she found out that he [Trump] was coming on, so their camp reached out to me... But it was very difficult to tie it down, and they wanted to travel."
