I know it's not on topic, but oh my God. The irony is actually running out of my computer monitor and oozing into my oatmeal.

"Experimental drug"???

I'm sure way too many people can't connect the dots as to why this quote is about the most ironic thing I've read here ever. So let me give a couple of hints... how long has ivermectin been around? And what drug was ACTUALLY an experimental drug that so many people were forced to take against their will?

Nothing like calling white black and black white, eh?

That would be the very antithesis of listening to his show, which is to hear different viewpoints, whether you agree with them, or not, and to learn from them.
It isn’t so much Rogan himself that people go to his podcasts for. It’s the guests that he has on. The dude literally has some of the most interesting people on this planet on his show. And it’s just a very relaxed, two people talking environment. Just like if you went out for a beer which is what they often do. Lol they sit drink and talk. And it just flows and it goes wherever direction it needs to go. That’s why he’s so popular. There is no inside agenda. When he invites a guest on his show, he doesn’t meet With them before and go over what they’re gonna talk about. They just step in there and let it fly.

And that’s how it should be in my opinion. He also often has opposing viewpoints on back to back. Climate change for example. He had a scientist on the believes it’s happening and then he had another scientist on who says we’re way over dramatizing it. And had evidence of that. This is why he’s popular. The people that are trying to shut him up? They just don’t want anyone to be able to say anything anywhere without it being controlled.

Problem is referring to Biden as president.

He may hold that title and it is certainly disputable, but BIDEN is not the guy issuing policy statements!!!

Look at Biden over the decades and see who he is. Biden is not the guy now sitting in the oval office.

Biden is a CONDUIT! a tool, a useful idiot who traded everything in exchange to be made president, a life long dream that always ended in dismal failure.

So don't say Biden is 'dead' without including the puppeteers behind the curtain pulling biden's strings as well as the corrupt DOJ agency leadership slated with swamp dwellers and criminals..

The media allows the Biden admin to exist.

The media could stop the destruction of America now..if it was so motivated.

The media could have prevented Biden's election but chose otherwise and against tradition of a free press.

De Santis would make a fine president in times other than these.

Rogan to me seems like an issues type of guy. He doesn't seem like a dem or a republican. I heard he supported Sanders in the past, l suppose just watching Biden has made him switch it up. Biden gaffs about as much as he doesn't. He looks like a doddering old man that should be allowed to drive, let alone "run" the country, but I suppose he's not really running things.

People on the left are really ramping up the DeSantis hate, you know you are doing something right if the far progressive left doesn't like you. Those people are off their rockers. Most people tend to sit somewhere in the middle, middle left, or middle right.

It's disheartening to see that the fringes get so much airtime in our culture. It's really done on purpose at this point, no denying that certain interests are behind all of this political unrest we're seeing these days.

He recently seemed to endorse DeSantis for president. He was asked who he was supporting in 2024 and responded by saying DeSantis would be a good president and had done well for Florida. He then also said that Biden was essentially a failed president.

I think his audience skews a little more to the left, but they come from across the spectrum, just mostly young.

Interesting to see if some of his audience bails, or if some of his audience look at DeSantis.


Of course, we don't know who is running yet and Rogan might go back and endorse who ever the Democrat candidate is.

You are assuming listen to Rogan for 'advice' -- I don't think so.

He's an entertainer.

You have to know the context of Rogan -- he's a shock jock. He says things and talks about topics purposely to be entertaining.

Nothing wrong with it. Some people like that. Folks love the Maddows, Rogans, Carlsons of the world.

But I'm not sure people go into the voting booth thinking -- Rogan thinks this is a good choice.

And if anybody does -- wise not to say it outloud.

The DNC screwed over Sanders, twice. Hiliary was always their girl, Sanders never had a shot.

Both the Dems and Rep have problems.

I suspect the powers that be in the Dem party very much want to give Biden the boot. However, they can't because Harris has been a disaster thus far. Get rid of Biden and Harris will scream if she isn't given the top spot on the ticket. A bitter Harris could hurt the Dems in 2024.

The Rep? DeSantis might have a better chance of winning the WH but he's got to deal a strong Trump base. Anger Trump and a percentage of his supporters could sit 2024 out.

If CPAC is any indication there's a pretty easy solution to that. 2024 for the Republicans will be a single-issue year based around their fear of transgenders and trying to purge the demonic nature of transgenderism from the country by using the government. As long as you're on board with that, you're on board with Republicans for 2024. That's not going to be good news for someone like Ted Cruz. I might actually vote for that guy as he's more on board with what the last four administrations, two Republicans and two Democrats, have jointly done with the budget. He's not going to go anywhere for 2024 though.

Joe Rogan’s audience is right leaning dudes who say stuff like “he has an open mind and listens to both sides which is why I like him”

but we all know these fans like him because he gives kooks a mic to spit their nonsense.

and Rogan seems to blow with the wind. If someone is hot in the streets, Rogan is a fan.
