Joe Rogan - How to Fix Voter Apathy

How are you sir? I am doing great. Thanks for having me. Before we get started. I like you. Oh, that's good I like you a lot. I'm winning already. I'm just telling you right now up front I've been listening to a lot of interviews watching a lot of your interviews you make sense. Oh, my god It's almost like you know, you can't win. So you're talking so logically It's you might win. Yeah The people who actually have given up who think it's so stupid they don't bother voting, right? So the hope is I say something that makes sense and they go. Oh, maybe I should vote. Oh my god Maybe I should vote if those people vote you win. I win Yeah, there's an untapped resource of unmotivated people who are too far But how do we fix that is it is it a matter of getting people I believe firmly that if we could get people to Register and vote online Especially with their phones it changes the world Yes, I really really really believe that and I think that this is also a concern of the people that are in the Democratic Party And the Republican Party and I don't think they want that 100% like they were a lot They're relying on voter apathy They're also relying on people who are committed to their parties and who are politically active. Yes, which is not the majority of the people It's the establishment, right? I mean look you asked how we fix this Bernie and Trump actually taught us this in 2016 They taught us two things number one if you can get people to an event You can get them to the polling station number one. That's what they did a lot of events. I do over 30 events every month I'm always doing events getting people to show up because if I can get in the show up to my event I can get into a polling booth, right? Cuz to come to hear me speak you have a lot of choices out there You could be on Netflix you hang out with your family and friends. You could be playing a video game You choose to come hear me speak you'll come to the polling station. That's number one But how do I get into care in the first place? It's hope the average person who votes often right if you vote often you usually vote because of fear The two-party system installs fear right? I don't really care about my guy or gal But I'm so afraid of the other guy. I'll go out and support my guy or gal even though even know his name I just know I don't like the red team so I vote blue or not like the blue team So I vote red but to get someone who doesn't vote in New York State's really bad New York State about 70% of New Yorkers Don't vote. It's a huge chunk over 7 million. You're crazy. Yes, 70% yet last like something was 67% So it hovers around 70 to get those people out. You have to give them hope Bernie gave the left hope Trump gave the right hope if the Democratic Party wasn't so broken as a party Bernie would have been their nominee. It would have been hope against hope it was hope against establishment. Hope one. That's how it works I'm hope the other two guys who are running in my in my election. They're totally establishment
