During a fiery Thursday episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, the podcast giant blasted Democratic New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani over his newly unveiled fiscal year 2027 budget proposal — and the reaction was explosive.
Mamdani’s plan, which clocks in at a staggering $127 billion, includes an additional $1.2 billion earmarked for migrants in New York City. The figure immediately caught Rogan’s attention.
“He’s a fucking psychopath. Like, the amount for migrants is crazy,” Rogan said bluntly. “There should be zero dollars for illegal immigrants.”
The moment quickly escalated as Rogan and guest Michael Malice debated what, if anything, should be done about the ongoing migrant crisis overwhelming major American cities.
Malice argued that feeding migrants is a necessity.
“Human beings need food. What are you going to do?” Malice asked.
Rogan’s response was swift.
“Get them jobs.”
When Malice pressed on how that would work in practice, Rogan fired back with a sharp quip: “Get him a job in Guatemala.”
The exchange underscored a broader frustration shared by many Americans who feel the system has spiraled out of control. Malice noted that migrants cannot simply be “thrown away,” while Rogan countered with the obvious alternative.
“Unless you’re going to remove them from the country,” Rogan said.
“Right,” Malice agreed.
Both men ultimately described the situation as a complete “mess,” reflecting a sentiment that continues to gain traction nationwide as cities grapple with ballooning costs, strained services, and political gridlock.
