Politics The war on Joe Rogan

Osterholm, a CDC directory or some such, on Rogan. Typical talking points. He says they and the government did a good job of saying how people need to lose weight and work on comorbidities that you can control. Rogan immediately challenged him on that. Do you think the White House actually put an emphasis on physical health? He says, "Well I talked about it many times". Rogan, "Yeah, but the White House, did THEY vocally support it" and then the guy went off topic and casually brought up that the CDC recognized that obesity is a comorbidity.

Way to dodge the fact that No, the government did not at one point in this entire pandemic, acknowledge that being fat makes you the most susceptible.

Also long covid long covid long covid. Omicron is the worst of them all. Passive aggressive fear mongering.

Shit, they closed all the parks by me where people would go running. They took away a venue to exercise and get sunlight. :lol:

Yep. They dumped mulch all over the skate park here to keep kids from going. Local and state parks closed. They literally did the exact opposite of what they should have done, though we had no science at the time.

Ignoring proven factors this far into it is inexcusable.

On the plus side, this guy is saying they're wrong in ignoring natural immunity and it should be counted the same as having the vax.
 
Yeah the cdc hid a bunch of data. They’ve done a horrific job of it and they are the biggest best funded health agency in the world. And we’re using data from tiny countries like Israel and the UK. Big government is so very often shit when it comes to actual results.
 
He actually turned out to be very reasonable at the end. Said mask mandates were stupid. Wearing masks in places like a school are pointless if they take them off in the lunch room and don't have a fancy filtration system and social distancing. Anything short of N95 masks are basically useless.

Basically he's saying what everyone has said nearly 2 years ago
 
The plane mask thing is dumb AF, if they wouldn’t kick my ass off the plane, I’d tell them to eat a bag of buttholes.
 
I don't know who Ben Burgis is, but he's on Rogan touting the benefits of socialism. Rogan gets an immediate hard on for socialism and compares the Fire Department to Free Education.

These comparisons that pro-socialists make is absurd.
 
I don’t understand thinking government control of everything would be great. Gov employees are in no way nicer or fairer than people in the private sector. In our system there are checks and if a company is fucking up there are ways to punish them. If the government fucks up as the only control there is no recourse
 
Rogan had on a journalist who just came back from Ukraine. Some interesting things to say.....but instantly loses credibility with me when he said that the Republicans are now anti-American. Apparently it's anti-American to be anti-woke because Putin is anti-woke, so that means you're pro-Putin.

On the plus, he recognized that most of the people who talks shit about how terrible it is to live in America (woke) are the ones who couldn't live anywhere else in the world without getting stoned or arrested. So how is it not anti-American to say America is evil, sexist, racist, etc?
 
Yeah it’s stupid there are a handful of whacky Rs saying some stupid shit, so is ilhan Omar and other Ds. They are both a small minority, but guess who the media amplify saying dumb stuff?
 
Bill Maher on Rogan. Great episode. Even if I don't agree with Maher, he's calm and rational in his beliefs.

And it's nice to hear a liberal say he wants to smack young kids walking around with masks on and bash virtue signaling.
 
May have spoke too soon. Over an hour in, Maher says that Republicans don't care about democracy. It's the liberals who stand for democracy.

Yeah, that's exactly what we see here. Republicans want Christianity to dictate the Nation, they're not the ones constantly having to defend the Constitution instead of wanting it altered :facepalm:

and Al Gore had the election stolen from him. Yeah, nothing odd about a Democrat County official involved with the vote driving around with a voting machine in his trunk and a bunch of sketchy votes only for Gore. It's amazing that people can still grasp to Gore's loss as legit and how they fought that, then claim no one has ever contested an election until Trump. Even though now we know for a fact that there was collusion on behalf of the media to cover up Hunter's laptop that, according to recent polls, as many as 20% of Biden voters would have seriously questions voting for Biden if the media hadn't covered the story up and called it misinformation. Which is interfering with an election and quite possibly did, in fact, steal the election.
 
I appreciate the fact he at least goes on Rogan and Shaprio, despite the fact he has a bunch of stupid views.

Just because one part doesn't suck, doesn't mean the whole thing doesn't suck overall - Beavis & Butthead.
 
hah.

Yeah, I give him credit for having rational conversations, even if some of his positions defy logic. I can at least respect respect that he does so without resorting to names and outrage.
 
he's also tried to have more than just liberal talking heads on his show, and not necessarily do it just to scream at them. He used to have Ann Coulter on ffs, I recall one of his past shows admonishing the audience to stop booing her.
 
Maher is actually one of the more level-headed Hollywood types out there.

Strangely, he was the victim of a version of "cancel culture" - remember, he got "deplatformed" from network TV for suggesting that the 9/11 terrorists weren't really "cowards." He wasn't really wrong (he was actually agreeing with guest Dinesh D'Souza), but making that point less than a week after 9/11 probably wasn't the smartest move, especially since one of his guests, Barbara Olson, was actually on Flight 77 so she could tape his show.
 
this is what did it for me

Mayer comes across as rational, until the Pubs come up, then he does exactly what he says they do - keys in on a couple data points & expands that to all republicans, kinda like the ginger troll. It’s probably tied to religion, he’s an atheist that assumes he’s smarter than anyone who in not an atheist. He’s pretty much a dick, though the show was entertaining.

Yep. He still has some very judgemental and irrational views. That just shows how insanely off the rails the far left has gone that it makes him appear rational because even he realizes the wokeness is batshit crazy.

As I said, I give him credit for having calm and rational discussion with those he disagrees with (moreso on Shapiro). He's willing to talk to those with opposing views. But he's in no way objective about Republicans, still painting with a very broad brush.
