    Joe Rogan never holds back.

    The 56-year-old comedian and podcaster’s new Netflix special, “Burn the Boats,” premiered Saturday night and is filled with jokes about the transgender community, the COVID-19 vaccine and more.

    Rogan, who has previously made headlines for some of his controversial views that he’s discussed on his popular podcast, said during the standup show that America has become too accepting of trans people.

    “I just want to be real clear. I believe in trans people,” he said. “Because I think the world is strange and nature is strange, and nature can throw you a curveball and you believe you’re in the wrong body. And I fully support your right as an adult to do whatever you want that makes you happy. I believe in freedom, and I believe in love. But I also believe in crazy people.”

    “I’m open-minded. I just want to know what happened,” he continued. “It’s almost like a pervert wizard waved a magic spell on the whole world. ‘With a wave of this wand, you can walk into the women’s locker room with a hard cock, and anybody who complains is a Nazi. Abracadabra!’ And it just works!’

    Rogan went on: “And everyone just accepts this new reality, and it’s f–king weird. I just think we need standards. You can’t just put lipstick on and now you can sh-t in the women’s room!”

    The former “Fear Factor” host also mocked gay men, saying, “I think about gay men the same way I think about mountain lions: I’m happy they’re real, but I don’t want to be surrounded by them. They’re a bunch of dudes who f-ck dudes. I don’t like my chances, OK? They’re not unicorns — they’re just men who f-ck men.”

    Rogan said that he’s “not even remotely homophobic,” adding, “I’m the opposite. I wish I was gay.”

    Earlier in the special, Rogan talked about his skepticism of the COVID-19 vaccine .

    “Before COVID, I would have told you that vaccines are the most important invention in human history. After COVID, I’m like, ‘I don’t think we went to the moon. I think Michelle Obama’s got a dick. I think Pizzagate is real. I think there’s direct energy weapons in Antarctica,’ ” he said.

    After the audience laughed, Rogan added: “I’m just kidding — I don’t think Michelle Obama’s got a dick, but I believe all of that other sh-t.”

    Rogan confessed that he “might have” played a part in spreading vaccine misinformation, but he doesnt care.

    “Here’s my take on that, sincerely: If you’re getting your vaccine advice from me, is that really my fault?” he said. “That’s not my job, kids. I’m a professional sh-t-talker. Some of the things I say make sense. A lot of them don’t. It’s up to you to figure out what’s what. That’s the fun part.”
