Douglas Murray Criticizes Joe Rogan’s Choice of Guests
Douglas Murray is known for his sharp mind and bold opinions. So, it’s no surprise he was invited to appear on The Joe Rogan Experience. In episode #2303, the British author and political commentator joined comedian Dave Smith for a deep conversation.
During the show, Murray didn’t hold back. He openly criticized Joe Rogan for inviting guests who, in his view, are not real experts. He felt that some of these guests promote controversial or even misleading ideas.

Murray pointed out that Rogan’s habit of “just asking questions” could be harmful. He believes this approach sometimes spreads misinformation or strange theories. Murray explained, “If you throw a lot of sh*t out there, there’s some point at which, ‘I’m just asking questions’ is not a valid thing anymore. You’re not asking questions. You’re telling people something.”
Though the 45-year-old didn’t mention names directly, his words pointed to past guests like Darryl Cooper, who made bold claims about historical events. Murray argued that such guests risk misleading listeners by presenting opinions as facts.
