Most people don&#8217;t want it \u2013 except supporters of Israel. They&#8217;re the only people that seem to be thinking it&#8217;s a good idea in this country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">He added further, &#8220;Most people are horrified by the idea because Trump was elected \u2014 one of the pillars that he stood for \u2013 apparently was that he doesn&#8217;t want any more wars.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\"><strong>SEN RAND PAUL: AMERICA IS AT WAR, BUT AMERICANS DIDN\u2019T VOTE FOR IT<\/strong><\/p>\n<div data-layout-index=\"5\" class=\"image-ct inline\">\n<div class=\"m\"><picture><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/343\/192\/rogan-trump-split.png?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/686\/384\/rogan-trump-split.png?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"192\" width=\"343\"><source media=\"(min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/672\/378\/rogan-trump-split.png?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1344\/756\/rogan-trump-split.png?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"378\" width=\"672\"><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px) and (max-width: 1279px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/931\/523\/rogan-trump-split.png?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1862\/1046\/rogan-trump-split.png?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"523\" width=\"931\"><source media=\"(min-width: 1280px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/720\/405\/rogan-trump-split.png?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1440\/810\/rogan-trump-split.png?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"405\" width=\"720\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1200\/675\/rogan-trump-split.png?ve=1&amp;tl=1\" alt=\"Podcaster Joe Rogan speaking and President Donald Trump in separate images\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n<div class=\"info\">\n<div class=\"caption\">\n<p><span>Joe Rogan described sending President Trump research on ibogaine and receiving an immediate reply pushing for FDA approval, a moment he said quickly set the administration\u2019s policy effort in motion.<\/span> <span>(Chris Unger\/Zuffa LLC; Chris Jakson\/Pool\/AFP)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">While Trump may have promised a &#8220;golden age,&#8221; many of his staunch supporters have since criticized him for breaking his campaign promise on avoiding foreign wars.<\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">Rogan and Lowe spoke about how one thing the Trump administration did manage to accomplish was shutting down USAID, which he and Lowe said was exporting far-left ideology to other countries. Rogan, however, had one key caveat: &#8220;Of course, if there was ever a Democrat that got elected president in 2028, it would probably start that b&#8212;- right back up, open the borders right back up. Business as usual.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">&#8220;It seems like there was a desire to move people into blue states and then eventually get them on social assistance and then get them to become citizens, and then you have guaranteed voters,&#8221;
