Comedian and talk show host Bill Maher told podcaster Joe Rogan that people are searching for common sense amid a crazy present-day political stage.
Maher joined Rogan on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast Tuesday, saying, “I invited myself on this show,” to which Rogan expressed gratitude for Maher’s request and promised an unscripted conversation.
The two talk show hosts discussed woke culture and how the Left and Democrats have made them look “more conservative.”
“People say to me, ‘Don’t you think you’ve gotten more conservative?’ No, I haven’t,” Maher said. “The Left has gotten goofier. So, I seem more conservative, maybe. But like, it’s not me who changed. I feel I’m the same guy.”
Rogan agreed as the two mentioned that people are desperate for common sense amid debates over topics such as “pregnant men” and “abolishing the police.”

“I mean, looting was still illegal. So, like, have I changed? No, because if someone had said 20 years ago ‘I’m not sure looting is a bad thing,’ I would’ve opposed it then. So, I haven’t changed,” Maher shared. “I think it’s because we are both seen as people who are common-sensical. And that is what there is a hunger for, I think, in America more than anything, is common sense. Away from the extremes.”
Rogan told Maher that he appreciated his ability to be a “normal person who cares about people’s rights and wants a certain amount of freedom,” adding that that is “what it means, to me, to be liberal.”

The two also discussed how corporations, such as Disney, are making headlines. Maher described Disney’s recent battle against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his Parent Rights in Education Act as “leaning into woke hardcore.”
