What To Know

Speaking from his podcast studio in Austin, Texas, Rogan said: “I think the minimum wage in this country is ridiculous. I mean, $7, what?”

He referenced a TikTok video he had seen regarding a man who paid $25 for a sandwich, which would mean a worker on the minimum wage would need to work “three and a half hours just to pay for a sandwich.”

“Imagine how insane that is,” Rogan said, with Sanders agreeing. “Like how do you eat? How do you eat dinner? How do you eat lunch?”

Sanders replied: “I have talked to people who make 10, 12 bucks an hour trying to raise a kid.”
