Podcaster Joe Rogan is concerned that President Donald Trump’s use of military-style immigration tactics is a “slippery slope” that could lead to wider oppression, he said on a Wednesday episode featuring Basic Instinct screenwriter Joe Eszterhas.
“It is a very slippery slope when you give people — and they’re trained for seven weeks, they’re not trained very long,” Rogan said. “They’re trained for much less time than police officers, much less time than military. And then you have this militarized police force that has no identification and they’re on the streets. That’s a precedent that you might like it when it’s for a cause that you support, but that could easily be for a cause you do not support.”
