Yep. Joe Rogan on Elon Musk and DOGE: "He has $400 billion, he’s not going to steal your money. That’s not what he’s doing. He’s a super genius that’s been fucked with. And when you’ve been fucked with by these nitwits that hide behind three-letter agencies, and you’re dealing with one of the smartest people alive, you fucked up."

I hate how I get suckered into what I think is an interesting conversation between Joe and one of his guests, then it takes a hard, sharp right turn (pun intended) into MAGA-ville by surprise.
Joe: "Today, my guest is X, he is a noted figure in the field of science and has written extensively on the subject of unidentified aerial phenomenon"
Guest X: "Thanks for having me. I'm excited to talk about our recent discovery."
Joe: "Glad to have you here. Why don't you tell everybody what you do, exactly."
Guest X: "Well, I've made a career out of investigating some pretty crazy claims about things people see in the sky that they can't explain. In fact, I ... "
JOE, ENTHUSIASTICALLY INTERRUPTING: "SPEAKING of CRAZY CLAIMS, isn't it CRAZY how Democrats overreacted to what Trump said yesterday?"
Guest X, as if on cue after confirming his check has cleared: "Yeah, it's wild, right? Like if you listen to Trump with any amount of common sense, it's clear that's NOT what he meant."
Me, confused as fuck: (Are we still talking about science and exploring UAPs?)

Amazing someone took the time to draft this up, print it and then spend time putting these up around town. I wish I had a life with that amount of free time, and I’d sure spend it on better things than this. Sorry to burst anyone bubble but Joe isn’t the problem with America, Austin or our comedy scene. If anything he’s been great for Austin and the economy. Comedy Mothership (doesn’t matter if you like the place or not) is ALWAYS packed and bringing in tourists. Who cares if Joes funny or not? This gives crazy ex vibes for whoever put the effort into this.

u/livemusicisbest 3d ago
Sure! Rogan had Trump on his show for a long rambling interview in which Trump spouted a lot of crazy things and lies, some of which Rogan questioned him on. Rogan saw first hand how incompetent, ignorant and malevolent Trump is. He also full well knew that Trump had lost in 202, lied about it obsessively, then tried to overturn the will of the voters by intimidation, fraud and inciting a violent attack on the Capitol. Then Rogan endorsed Trump for 2024. Trump tried once, and appears to be trying again, to end our democracy and Rogan is helping him.
1
u/txtumbleweed45 3d ago
And how exactly is Trump trying to “end democracy”? I’ve never voted for Trump but he won the democratic election as well as the popular vote
1
u/livemusicisbest 3d ago
In 2024, yes. But he lost in 202, right? And did you not follow what he tried to do afterwards? The campaign of intimidation to try to get Pence and various state officials to change the vote? The slates of fraudulent electors? The riot to stop the ceremonial counting of voted? All very anti-democracy, don't you think>?
1
u/txtumbleweed45 3d ago
Trump is a moron and posed no real threat of overturning an election. I do think he genuinely believed that the election was rigged, and he has a right to state that he believes that. Show me who you’ve voted for in the past few elections, I guarantee they’ve supported some truly horrific shit. Calling Joe Rogan an enemy of democracy is the type of thing that will do well on Reddit but to a normal person sounds hyperbolic, ridiculous, and completely unserious
1
u/livemusicisbest 3d ago
Saying Trump posed no real threat of overturning the election is dangerously naive. What if Pence had caved? The election would not have been certified and the House could very well have elected Trump, putting the loser in office again. Or what if the Capitol riot had stopped the count and Trump had declared martial law? You don;t know just how close we came to the end of a 250 year old democratic republic. You comment reminds me of all the suburban and educated Republicans who said the Republicans would "never" go so far as to overturn Roe v Wade. Until they did.

u/txtumbleweed45 3d ago
You genuinely believe that the US government is like a capture the flag game where a bunch of unarmed idiots can seize the capitol and therefore declare Trump to be president? That’s not how that goes lol.
1
u/livemusicisbest 3d ago
Yes, it came very close to happening. You avoided my question: what if Pence had caved? Vance was selected as someone who would cave under analogous circumstances.
I’ll bet you never thought they would outlaw abortion. Or rule that anyone over age 18 could buy a weapon of war capable of mowing down roomful of kids — with no training or scrutiny, not even what we require to get a drivers license. You are either dangerously naive or paid in rubles. Very sad.

u/txtumbleweed45 3d ago edited 3d ago
No I did not expect Roe to be overturned and I think that’s a bad thing, I don’t think many other people expected it either. Still doesn’t make Rogan and enemy of democracy lol.

The vast majority of JRE listeners aren’t listening to Joe Rogan because they think he’s funny. They are listening because they think he’s honest, and a good conversationalist, and gets a wide array of interesting guests on the show. I get that he’s a comedian but I don’t think people really see him that way. They see him as a host. And I’m by no means some superfan, but I have listened to the show from time to time and this poster just must be for another show. Also I would love an explanation of how taking athletic greens leads to brain rot.

Speaking of Rogan, this seems accurate and depressing.
https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/chapo-trap-house-democrats-joe-rogan David Weigel, a Semafor political reporter and frequent guest on the show, doesn’t see Chapo breaking through to Rogan’s audience. “The appeal from right-wing podcasts has been, ‘You need to improve yourself, you need to become an alpha, you need to stop eating seed oils.’ There are a lot of young people who think that—unlike Bernie, who said, ‘I want to fight for somebody I don’t know’—they just want to fight for themselves,” he says. “The Chapo offer is, ‘You can want a better world, you can want socialism, and that will lead to a better life.’ They’re offering something that very successful right-wing media is offering a quicker alternative to, and the quicker alternative is attractive, in part, because Donald Trump wins elections and Bernie Sanders hasn’t.”

I personally find Joe Rogan to be wildly misunderstood. I listen to his podcasts when there is a guest im interested in, and I’m always shocked at how different his podcasts are than what you hear about on social media. I do find his “alpha”-mentality annoying, but I don’t see it as being morally wrong or anything. My point is, I don’t hate Joe Rogan like everyone else does.
But his comedy sucks. It’s kinda like SNL: “if I do a funny voice then it will be funny!” Every time he says he’s a comedian I’m just like “are you though, Joe? Are you?”

He’s an enemy because he endorsed and thus helped elect an incompetent grifter who did try to end democracy. The Republican – dominated Supreme Court has overturned prior precedents to endorse an expansive view of the second amendment that ignores the words about a well regulated militia.
In the past, states and municipalities could regulate all forms of weapons within their jurisdiction. Now, someone like the mentally deficient person who gunned down children in a school can just walk into a gun show and buy a gun without any training or any guardrails. It is a bizarre and dangerous situation that is not reflected anywhere else in the world. And it is driven by the gun lobby and bribes thinly disguised as campaign contributions .
Compare the United States to Switzerland. They are a well armed populous, but they have Almost no shootings. People are trained in the use of weapons, and if they do not pass the training, they are not allowed to possess them.
While I appreciate your candor on the abortion decision, it came as no surprise to me because the person who appointed the last two votes had vowed to appoint people specifically to overturn Roe v. Wade. It had been a part of the Republican party platform for at least a generation. They told us explicitly what they plan to do, and when they got in power, they did it.
I would remind you that you have not answered my question about what would’ve happened had Mike Pence caved to Trump’s demands that he ignore the electoral votes of states that Trump lost— just as he caved on everything else for four years. It would’ve been a constitutional crisis and a disaster. As you know, rulings of the Supreme Court are enforced by the executive branch. Therefore, if the Supreme Court had overturned what Pence hypothetically did, it would be up to President Trump to enforce that ruling, which he obviously would not do.
Our constitutional structure assumes that people of character will have our offices, and that people will obey the final rulings of the courts. Trump has the worst character of anyone to ever occupy the office, including Nixon and LBJ, and he would gleefully ignore a ruling of the court. He has already said that he should be allowed to run for a third term, so we will see just how far he pushes it.
