His comments came during an episode of the "Joe Rogan Experience" that was released Saturday and featured a conversation with comedian Bridget Phetasy.
"The red wave that's coming is going to be like the elevator doors in ‘The Shining’," Rogan said, citing the 1980 horror movie based on a Stephen King novel.
"That's what I think. I think people are just like ‘what the f**k are you saying?’" he continued.

"They're making Republicans," he said.
"I don't know how they're doing it," Phetasy responded. "I had a family member who is a boomer and a die hard liberal, and they told me when I was home this summer that they would vote for DeSantis," she continued.
