Podcaster Joe Rogan spoke with actress Cheryl Hines on Tuesday about the dangers of going against grains, citing Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., as a good example.
“Once you’re in, especially, you have to stick with the mindset of everybody else in your business. And if you’re not, you’re thrown — like John Fetterman — like you’re fired. They hate that guy now. They’re mad at him because he says, ‘I think maybe you should have a voter ID,'” Rogan said.
Hines, who had previously spoken about the backlash from her husband, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennery Jr., admitted, “I know. I love John Fetterman.”
“He’s great. He’s a great guy,” Rogan said. “He’s the truth. After all, that guy has been working in charities all his life.” Like, he worked really hard doing humanitarian work and he loves real things. Like, he’s not a greedy guy. He walks in a Carhartt hoodie and shorts. “
JEFFRIES ACCUSES REPUBLICANS OF ‘VOTER PRESSURE’ OVER BILL REQUIRING VOTER ID, PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP

Rogan went on to say that the Republican Party has the same problem of criticizing politicians when they disagree on important issues.
“But the thing is, you’ve got to stick it out, and if you don’t, you’re not allowed to have a dissenting opinion,” Rogan said. “If you do that, you get fired. You know, like Thomas Massie, you see the same thing with Republicans. Like anybody who has an opinion that doesn’t stray from the party you think, you get fired. They’re going to call you a traitor. They’re going to say bad things about you.”
“There’s a lot of theatrics,” Hines admitted.
“That’s a lot, and I think a lot of people in that business start out with really good intentions,” Rogan said. “Then you see them admitting little by little. Little by little they fall under the weight of what that position is.”

Voter ID is a key divisive issue as Democrats refuse to support the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act, which would require states to verify voter eligibility using written proof of citizenship.
Republicans say the measure would strengthen election integrity, while Democrats say it would make voting more difficult for people without photo ID, drawing comparisons to “Jim Crow-era” laws.
Fetterman said voter ID is not an “unreasonable” requirement, and pointed to states like Wisconsin that already have similar protections.
“It’s not a strong idea for ordinary Americans to show their ID to vote,” said Fetterman, who also declined to draw comparisons to Jim Crow.
