On top of what everyone else said. Most of the world population is center-left on the political spectrum. This is how Joe Rogan's podcast originally started off as, center-left. Having on people like Neil deGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye, Cornel West, Bernie Sanders, etc. etc. are safe choices and perfectly fine. It's when he started inviting on crack pots like Jordan Peterson, who burned his brain on hard drugs, or Ben Shapiro, etc. His credibility got shot. Prior to that he was our generation's Walter Cronkite. And than the whole Trump endorsement. By endorsing a politician, especially someone like Trump, that means you have to accept all the absolutely fucking stupid and batshit insane shit he's gonna do as president. That means his cutting of social safety net, restricting everyone's rights, appointing Federalist Society corrupt judges, bombing Iran, invading Venezuela, genocide in Gaza, etc. the list of Trump's crimes pile up and up every day. When you go so far on the political spectrum, you lose a significant part of the population. That's why he fell off as number one podcast to The MeidasTouch Podcast. Only way he can save his career is do a 180 turn back to where he started.
