It’s easy to blame Rogan for understanding the situation far too late, but the important thing is that he’s using his platform-with his millions of listeners-to talk about it now.

ROGAN: “I really thought they were just going to go after the criminals… I really thought there was enough gang members.”

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:
