Podcast host Joe Rogan admits he considered quitting America and moving to Australia [Video]

Popular podcast host Joe Rogan has revealed that he actually considered moving out of the US and relocating to Australia — before coming to the realisation that he would never be able to live in a country that doesn’t afford its citizens the same “freedom” as Americans enjoy.

During a recent interview with retired mixed martial arts fighter Royce Gracie, 57-year-old host — who relocated from California to Texas in 2020 with his whole family — opened up about where he once considered moving to if he didn’t live in the US.

“There’s no place that has this kind of freedom,” he said, before revealing: “I used to think Australia …”

However, he says that he ultimately realised the country wasn’t the place for him when he saw the strict Covid-19 protocols that were enforced during 2020.
