What happens when America's most famous socialist walks into the lion's den and gets completely eviscerated by a podcaster who just asked one simple question? Bernie Sanders thought he was going on Joe Rogan to promote taxing the rich—instead, he got a masterclass in why giving more money to an incompetent, corrupt government is insanity. What you’re about to see isn’t just an interview gone wrong; this was the moment progressive ideology met reality, and reality won. While Kamala Harris ran scared from Rogan's three-hour format, Bernie took the bait—and instantly regretted it.

Highlights:

• “Sanders is making a boogeyman out of Elon Musk, but not the billionaires that funded and continue to fund his political side.” 
• “I don’t think Rogan meant that, but Sanders’ body language conveyed that he was clearly uncomfortable addressing the issue of Biden’s cognitive decline which he helped cover-up.”
• “Sanders's response revealed everything wrong with progressive intellectual approach: making definitive statements about complex scientific issues without bothering to read the actual research. This isn't evidence-based policymaking—it's ideological performance art.”
• “Three hours of unstructured conversation means politicians can't hide behind scripts. They have to think on their feet, defend their positions, and engage with ideas rather than just slogans.”
