In an episode of his podcast, Rogan said that the politicians in New South Wales, Australia, were going to pass a law that would not allow citizens to grow their own food.

Rogan said, “I want to know what their justification was, but I’m pretty sure it had to do with agricultural contamination. You could justify it if you’re a real piece of sh*t.”

Rogan said that he believed authorities in Australia were ‘f**king creeps.’ Rogan further added, “We gonna stop these motherf***ers from growing their own food, because that’s how you smoke out an anti-vaxxer, because you can’t go to a grocery store anymore, and you can’t grow your own food.”
