Podcaster Joe Rogan spoke to actress Cheryl Hines on Tuesday about the risks of going against the grain, citing Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., as a prime example. 'Once you get in, for the most part, you have to adhere to the mindset of all the other people that are in your business.

And if you don't, you get cast — like John Fetterman — like you get cast out. They hate that guy now. They're mad at him because he says, ‘I think you should probably have ID to vote,' Rogan said. Hines, who had spoken earlier about the backlash her husband, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennery Jr., received agreed, 'I know. I like John Fetterman.' 'He's great. He's a sweet guy,' Rogan said. 'He's authentic. Well, that guy genuinely worked in charities for his whole life.' Like, he genuinely worked in doing philanthropy work and like real stuff. Like, he’s not a greedy guy. He walks around in a Carhartt hoodie and shorts.' JEFFRIES ACCUSES REPUBLICANS OF ‘VOTER SUPPRESSION’ OVER BILL REQUIRING VOTER ID, PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP Rogan went on to argue that the Republican Party has the same problem of cracking down on politicians when they break ranks on a key set of issues. 'But the thing is like, you have to adhere, and if you don't, you're not allowed to have a deviating opinion,' Rogan said. 'If you do, you get cast out. You know, like Thomas Massie, you see the same thing in the Republicans. Like anybody that has an opinion that doesn't deviate with the groupthink, you get cast out. They'll call you a traitor. They'll say terrible things about you.' 'There's a lot of theatrics,' Hines agreed. 'There's a lot of that, and I think there's a lot of people that are in that business that start off with really good intentions,' Rogan said. 'And then you see them slowly give in. They slowly succumb to the weight of what that position is.' HAKEEM JEFFRIES PRESSED ON DEMOCRATIC OPPOSITION TO VOTER ID Voter ID is a key issue dividing the two parties as Democrats refuse to support the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility America Act, which would require states to verify voter eligibility using documentary proof of citizenship. Republicans argue the act would strengthen election integrity, while Democrats say it could make voting harder for people without photo ID, going so far as to compare it to 'Jim Crow-era' laws. Fetterman said voter ID is not an 'unreasonable' ask, and pointed to states like Wisconsin that already have similar protections. 'It's not a radical idea for regular Americans to show your ID to vote,' said Fetterman, who also rejected the Jim Crow comparisons.
