Podcaster Joe Rogan floated the possibility of the United States annexing Mexico after taking control of Canada, an idea president-elect Trump has suggested his administration could pursue.
“Do you think that they’ll take Canada in to be the 51st or 52nd state, whichever one it is?” Rogan was asked by Theo Von, another popular podcaster and internet personality.
“Here’s what I think, I think we take Canada and then we go right into Mexico,” Rogan responded.
Von exclaimed in agreement “Let’s f‑‑‑ing go!”
“Everybody keeps sneaking over, how about we just let them stay here,” Rogan continued. “Just like, how about we go into that? How about what I said? How about … instead of trying to, like, let all the bad stuff in, how about we make this like totally lockdown safe and then expand safety? Expand it. But you got to do it without stripping people of their rights.”
Rogan separately published an Instagram post Tuesday displaying a screenshot of a Truth Social message from Trump saying “many people in Canada LOVE being the 51st State.”
“I say we let Mexico in too,” Rogan commented on Trump’s post.
Trump earlier this week irked Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum with comments suggesting the Gulf of Mexico be renamed the Gulf of America and has mused about retaking the Panama Canal.
“I mean obviously Gulf of Mexico, the name is recognized by the United Nations, an organism of the United Nations. But next, why don’t we call it Mexican America? It sounds nice, doesn’t it?” Sheinbaum said during a Wednesday news conference.
Rogan is one of the most followed media personalities in the world and hosted a wide-ranging interview with Trump on his podcast just weeks before Election Day.
He endorsed Trump before the election and has made attacks on Democrats, mainstream media outlets and so-called “elites” a staple of his commentary for years.
