Joe Rogan would like to see Michelle Obama run -

'She's great, she's articulate, she's intelligent, she's the wife of the best President that we have had in our lifetime ... she can win,' Joe Rogan on possibility of Michelle Obama running in 2024

People on DU have mistakenly
posted that Joe is right wing but actually he is socially very progressive and was a Bernie supporter.

100. Joe Rogan: I'd Rather Vote For Trump Than Biden
Thu Dec 30, 2021, 09:32 AM
Dec 2021

At least that's what he told the "Democrats are corrupt" wing of the Justice Dem caucus on their nightly "broadcast" brought to you by its "sponsor", a private equity fund led by former Louisiana governor / billionaire Buddy Roemer.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rogan wound up voting third party in the 2020.

During yesterday's End Of The World #2 stream, Joe actually came forward to reveal which candidate received his vote -- and no, it wasn't Kanye West. In a shocking display of Joe loyalty, Rogan reveals that he actually cast his vote for Jo Jorgensen, the Libertarian party's official presidential nominee. "I voted Libertarian," reveals Joe, dropping the bombshell around the three-hour-and-nineteen-minute mark. "I voted Jo Jorgensen. I knew she didn't have a shot. Legalizing drugs. I knew California was going to Biden no matter what and I couldn't. I was looking at the whole thing like 'what is this?' I felt, the whole thing is just--" He shakes his head in disgust, a sentiment no doubt shared by millions of weary Americans.

Rogan continues to express his annoyance with the entire election process, deeming the polls to be answered exclusively by "morons." When Kyle Kulinski suggests that 2018's mid-term outcome may have been a moment of early foreshadowing, Rogan claims that it's a "small fraction" compared to the Presidential election.

"It's a gigantic difference. The ramping up of the Joe Biden shit over the last few months is ridiculous. The media is ignoring all his gaffes, ignoring all the corruption, ignoring all the Hunter Biden emails. Ignoring the shit with Twitter, where Twitter banned the New York Post. That stuff was bad. Nobody thinks that's a good thing."

He spoke about what worked for him when he was sick and the press went crazy over IVM when Rogan said the main thing that helped him was the monoclonal antibodies plus vitamin infusions, antibiotics and steroids prescribed by his doctor. IVM was one of about 10 items he took but it was the only thing the press all talked about. Mainly- he talks about very few doctors recommending early treatment for patients to hopefully keep them out of the hospital.

Why is it supporting Trump? Trump is almost basically claiming he alone is responsible for the vaccines!

9:50 AM · Jan 24, 2020


There’s even footage of Rogan comparing a Black neighborhood to “Planet of the Apes”. When talking about walking into a theater to see the movie, he said, “There was no white people. ‘Planet of the Apes’ didn’t take place in Africa.” Ultimately, Rogan said it was a “positive” experience and then he proceeded to imitate the way Black people were talking to him."

Rogan's an asshole rich white male, with a base of other rich white male assholes that think like he does.
If that's the base progressives are looking for they'll be trading it in for everyone else.

The last thing Rogan is, is a Progressive.

Podcaster Joe Rogan has canceled a Vancouver show that had already sold out after complaining about COVID-19 vaccine requirements in Canada.

Rogan recently said on his popular podcast The Joe Rogan Experience that although he had a sold-out show scheduled for April 20 in Vancouver, "I don't think that's happening" because he has not gotten a COVID-19 vaccine and doesn't plan to. Rogan previously recovered from COVID-19, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says those who have had the coronavirus should still get vaccinated.

"I don't think I can even get into the country," Rogan said. "I'm not vaccinated. I'm not going to get vaccinated. I have antibodies. It doesn't make any sense. I don't think I can go."

He claims anti-vaccine folks do no harm...totally false. They spread it and it mutates because of them...the hospitals are full. Gov. DeWine said well over 90% are not vaccinated. Cleveland Clinic won't take anyone for say a heart attack now only covid. I can't get my echo or any treatment for my heart murmur which came about because of Covid last year.

And those clogging the hospital are the anti-vaxers according to our republican governor. There is no indication that a cold-like virus will ever truly engender natural immunity. The best we can hope for is over time it becomes less lethal. I am at the point where I despise those who won't get vaccinated and have very little sympathy. And I despise Joe Rogan for the racist, anti-vax, bigoted piece of crap he is.

Joe Rogan called gay and transgender people the 'most vicious' upholders of cancel culture in a rant on his podcast.

Rogan, 53, claimed on his July 21 episode of the Joe Rogan Experience that gay and transgender people have 'been bullied' and are now coming after people who are not members of the LGBTQ community, as spotted by Mediaite.

'You know what the thing that's going on with the left - a lot of it is, they're being bullies and a lot of the people that are progressive, that are really like open-minded, unfortunately, there is a lot of people on the left that were bullied by a**holes when they were young,' Rogan said on the July 21 episode of his podcast.

For example:

'But Rogan’s popularity is owed in part for his vocal rejection of “political correctness,” which can take the form of transphobia (he once called trans woman mixed martial artist Fallon Fox “a fucking man”), Islamophobia (hosting guests like the far-right Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes, who used his appearance to argue that Muslims are too inbred for the US to accept as immigrants), and racism (he once compared a black neighborhood to Planet of the Apes).'

And despite the fact that he has given this platform to the likes of Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes, Alex Jones, Milo Yiannopoulos, and other far-right, transphobic, and anti-feminist trolls, Rogan still has the most listened-to podcast in the country. In 2020, he made a $100 million deal with Spotify to be his exclusive streaming platform. And the closest he's gotten to being silenced is when, shortly after that deal, Spotify quietly removed episodes with Jones, Yiannopoulos, and comedian Chris D'Elia, who was accused of sexual misconduct involving teenage girls. Despite all that, Rogan is still free to say whatever the hell he wants to say when he wants to say it.

When people get mad about the dumb shit Rogan says on his podcast, he usually responds with a common refrain. As he said in February of 2019:

“There’s certain people that I’ll have on, whether it’s Alex Jones or anyone that’s controversial, where people who get fucking mad. ‘Why are you giving this person a platform?’ OK. Hmm. I didn’t think about it that way, and I don’t think that’s what I’m doing. I think I’m talking to people, and you can listen.

I suggest you self delete...Rogan is a walking right wing talking point ....

Known Islamaphobe, misogynist, racist, etc. He loves gobbling down dewormer and refusing masks. He moved from NV to TX because he thinks Neveada is too liberal.

And, a huge antivaxxer. Which I am sure is why you like him. Any alerters: the OPer is a known anti-vaxxer who pushes Zinc, dewormer, etc.

35. An analysis of 350 hours of Joe Rogan
Wed Dec 29, 2021, 06:58 PM
Dec 2021
I believe he’s become more emboldened to push baseless conspiracy theories and right-wing lies over the past year. Since I started reporting on Rogan’s podcast, he’s broken into mainstream coverage fairly often: first, with his lie about left-wing people starting wildfires in Oregon, and then again really prominently, [saying] he would encourage healthy, young people not to get vaccinated. And throughout all of that reporting, at least from my view, he hasn’t faced any real punishment from Spotify. And I think that’s emboldened him to continue pushing hate and lies on his podcast. Just from listening to him every day, he’s by no means remitting conspiracy theories and false rhetoric on his show. If anything, he’s leaning into it more. He’s celebrated in conservative spaces for it. He’s a darling of the conservative right in the United States.

I know you and Media Matters more broadly cover the wider world of the right, so places like Fox and OAN. Do you see any parallels between that world and Rogan’s?

Yeah, I completely see it as related. Rogan is someone who celebrates himself as being a so-called independent thinker who has both conservative and progressive values, and I think that perfectly illustrates our general media landscape’s bend towards right-wing views and over accommodating ring-wing views and not challenging right-wing misinformation. So I think he plays a pretty central role in that landscape, and he’s also deeply connected to the network of conservative media. He hosts Ben Shapiro. He hosts Alex Jones. He’s a huge supporter of Tucker Carlson, who we know is Fox News’ hate-mongerer-in-chief. I think he plays a central role in the right-wing misinformation system.
...
Have you seen any specific moments where you think YouTube would have moderated his content, but Spotify doesn’t?

Oh, yeah, absolutely. We do a lot of work at Media Matters around tech accountability and terms of service, and generally, I would say social media companies are failing to regulate right-wing extremism on the internet. And Spotify has some of the least, almost non-existent, terms of service to protect users and the general public from hatred and targeted violence. Joe Rogan has misgendered and denigrated trans youth on his podcast and never faced any consequences. We have seen YouTube take some steps to remove content that’s similar to that, and YouTube has a policy against promoting COVID-19 misinformation. That’s become the central core of Rogan’s podcast, and Spotify, including CEO Daniel Ek, has refused to take any action against Joe Rogan.

The Rogan episodes on Spotify omit his interviews with far-right figures including notorious conspiracy monger Alex Jones of InfoWars (whose podcasts Spotify and other platforms pulled in 2018 for policy violations).

Other “Joe Rogan Experience” episodes not available include those with Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes; ex-Breitbart News editor Milo Yiannopoulos; Charles C. Johnson, who’s been described as a “race-baiting troll”; alt-right political commentator and comedian Owen Benjamin; and anti-feminist personality Carl Benjamin (aka Sargon of Akkad).

of things. One week he'll say something and the next the opposite. Whatever pops into his head during a show.

The idea that he's progressive is based on the dream of class solidarity, alliance of white working class conservatives and progressives (revolution/movement).

Using Michelle Obama to attack Joe Biden by saying that she should run in 2024? No surprise there. Newsflash: lots of rightwing and libertarian dipshits do that sort of stuff to fool people. He'd be the first talking shit about her if she did run and win our nomination.

PS - These are the same dipshits that said Joe Biden should have run instead of Hillary back when Hillary was the nominee; now, they constantly trash Biden at each and every turn. You can probably find an old quote from Joe Rogan doing this sort of shit.

Many people who worked to defeat the Democratic Party were Bernie supporters.

That's a good thing in good people with genuinely good intentions. But given the tragic outcome, shouldn't they have admitted the obvious before it was too late, that his candidacy was being used to elect tRump and Republicans?

The answer's yes. And 2016 is still happening.

Imo, Rogan gives many signs of not being a good person and not having good intentions.

Justice Democrats Super Pac founders and money managers (Saikat Chakrabarti, Zack Exley, Kyle Kulinski, and Cenk Uygur) are targeting Democrat Carolyn Maloney in NY-12.

Based on what JusticeDems have done in the past, they'll probably spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on negative ads trashing her.

Carolyn Maloney was ranked the third most effective Democratic representative in the House by the Center for Effective Lawmaking last year.

run ?

Rogan is probaby trying to appeal to a wider audience and trying to appear less right wing . It's safe for him to name Michelle Obama because there is no way she is going to run for anything and she has made that clear. So he can try to get some points for supporting a liberal black woman without actually having to do so because she will not run .

Meanwhile continue to ignore the black woman who is actually in line for that job and has been actually doing the hard work to help Biden with his Agenda. She has been doing many things that a President would . But those things are boring to the media to report on so they focus on bs Gossip .

I always wonder if Warren was surprised because so many people swore up and down they'd vote for her, then when she ran that support disappeared. Suddenly there were a lot of things wrong with her that weren't problems before.

Rogan's comment reminds me of Michael Moore predicting that the only way a Democrat was going to win in 2020 was a beloved celebrity like Oprah, Michelle Obama, Tom Hanks.

He falls for any "no bullshit" gimmick. I like that he's skeptical of authority, but unfortunately he's also not skeptical of his own skepticism. That is, he'll back anything as long as it's anti-establish.

He liked Bernie Sanders. I applaud that. I don't know if he followed through on it, but at one point he said he was voting for Trump.

He knew that the story was brewing about his frequent past usage of the N-word and he knew it was only a matter of time before that came out. Oh, and let’s not forget when he likened being surrounded by Black people to experiencing a real-life “Planet of the Apes.”

Rogan’s racism runs deep. He’s just smart enough to try to cover his ass, that’s all.
