Joe Rogan Can't Make Up His Mind...

Mike Nellis

0:00 Folks, when it comes to Donald Trump,

0:01 Joe Rogan is trying to have his cake and eat it too.

0:04 He criticizes the president on his show

0:06 on things like the Epstein Files cover up,

0:08 the economy, the abuses of power inside this administration,

0:11 but he has no problem yucking it up

0:13 with the guy in the Oval Office at UFC fights,

0:17 acting as a prop on behalf of this administration

0:20 when it is good and convenient for him.

0:22 Let's dive into this week's criticisms from Joe

0:24 Rogan on his show and let's talk about

0:26 why he is a total hypocrite when it comes to the president of the United States.

0:32 Before we get started, make sure you're subscribed to the channel.

0:35 Be sure to engage with this video.

0:37 Every like, share, comment,

0:38 hype makes a huge difference in helping us build this independent

0:41 media company that can expose MAGA hacks like Joe Rogan.

0:45 That whole Epson thing is so crazy that no one's gone to jail for that.

0:48 It's pretty surprising that they're still not releasing it.

0:50 Here's crazy.

0:51 No arrests.

0:52 No, no, no one's like being brought in.

0:55 Meanwhile, Comey is getting arrested for a photo of seashells that say 8647.

1:01 He's getting arrested for that.

1:03 Yeah.

1:03 What's getting charged?

1:04 What's 8647?

1:05 86.

1:05 Get rid of

1:07 President.

1:08 But you could say kill.

1:09 But 86 is if you get fired.

1:11 What happened to Mike?

1:12 He got 86, right?

1:13 It doesn't mean you got killed.

1:15 But this is a crazy thing to arrest someone for.

1:17 Of course, FBI arrested in Virginia, appears briefly in court.

1:22 Well, they already like had it out for him.

1:23 I know they're just looking for any excuse.

1:25 A cra This is the problem with these guys

1:28 is it sets a crazy precedent precedent.

1:33 That's already That's the worst.

1:35 Like, that's crazy.

1:36 It is crazy, guys.

1:37 But can I be the one to tell you that Donald

1:39 Trump was promising to do these things in the 2024 presidential campaign?

1:43 Nothing that Donald Trump has done in the last year should be the least bit

1:47 surprising to anybody who paid attention to what

1:50 the president of the United States said.

1:52 And this is what pisses me off about these guys.

1:54 And like look, I I like Shane Gillis.

1:56 I've been to a Shane Gillis show.

1:57 I don't know who the other guy is.

1:58 And Rogan is fine with me.

2:00 I don't mind him as a podcaster.

2:02 But you guys made this deal with Donald Trump.

2:05 You promoted him on your show.

2:07 You attacked Kla Harris.

2:08 You led a ton of young men in particular like sheep to slaughter

2:12 into this administration without any understanding of what

2:15 the president of the United States was doing.

2:17 I mean, hell, these two guys didn't even really know

2:19 that Comey had been indicted again because they're not tracking the news.

2:23 And you build these platforms and and and look,

2:26 I don't want to be the one to lecture

2:28 comedians and podcasters about being educated on the news,

2:32 but you guys got to use your platforms responsibly.

2:35 You got to inform the American people what the president of the United States,

2:39 what Donald Trump as a candidate was promising to do.

2:41 And you didn't do that.

2:42 You brought him on and had a fun conversation, Joe.

2:45 And by the way, you made it very difficult for Kla Harris to do it.

2:48 And you should have gave her equal time and let your people make a decision.

2:51 And and by the way, the Kla Harris campaign should

2:53 have worked harder to get her on Joe Rogan as well.

2:56 I think neither side really wanted to make that happen,

2:58 which pisses me off because that was a political mistake in my opinion,

3:02 but that's beside the point.

3:04 And here's the other thing.

3:05 All right.

3:05 You're mad about the Epstein files.

3:07 You're mad about the abuses of power and this president

3:09 being a fascist going after his political opponents.

3:12 Rogan has criticized him on ICE.

3:13 He's criticized them on on the economy.

3:16 He's criticized them on a lot of issues.

3:17 But he's yucking it up with the guy at the White House.

3:20 He was used as a prop.

3:22 He was shaking his hand and smiling and laughing with him at a UFC fight.

3:26 You allow yourself to be used when it's good for you.

3:29 So when Rogan's wearing his hat as the announcer of the UFC,

3:32 he's got no problem yucking it up with this guy.

3:35 And it's because it's good for him there.

3:37 It's good for him in that environment because he's got to keep the people

3:39 that run TKO and the UFC happy and they're politically aligned with Trump.

3:44 And that's why they're having this goofy UFC

3:46 fight outside the White House on Donald Trump's birthday,

3:48 which again, everything that happens in Washington is about Trump.

3:51 None of it is about you.

3:53 But Rogan continues to try to have his cake and eat it too.

3:57 He continues to criticize when it's good to his podcast audience and then hope

4:00 that nobody notices when he yucks it up with the guy in the Oval Office.

4:04 And he is a hypocrite.

4:05 And if he wants to truly be part

4:07 of the solution to end this madness in Washington,

4:09 he needs to disassociate himself from the Trump administration and apologize

4:13 to his listeners who he recommended because

4:15 he endorsed Donald Trump in the election.

4:17 He recommended that they voted for him.

4:19 He needs to take responsibility for that or I'm not

4:21 going to take him seriously when he says things like this.

4:24 It's nuts.

4:25 It's nuts.

4:25 It's like you're going after someone for something that's just silly.

4:28 8647 is get rid of 47, right?

4:32 Speech, but it's just like arresting a guy for that is nuts.

4:36 Come don't play that.

4:38 Yeah.

4:38 I mean, it's one thing like if you have like a photo of him,

4:42 like an AI, you post AI photo of him dead, you know, with bullet holes in him.

4:46 Like, wouldn't that be nice?

4:48 I guess.

4:48 But also, but even that, even it's okay.

4:52 FBI director, not as an FBI director, right?

4:54 But he's a former FBI director, so he's a private citizen at that point.

4:58 He'd already left the office.

5:00 It's crazy.

5:01 Well, yeah.

5:01 Look, there this is this is basic common sense.

5:04 All right.

5:04 You have to be a special kind of stupid

5:07 to think that James Comey on his Instagram page

5:10 posting an image of seashells on a sandy beach

5:13 is a threat to the president of the United States.

5:16 It's unbelievably stupid.

5:19 And there have been so many times that we've caught

5:22 MAGA and Republican politicians and influencers doing the same thing.

5:26 8646 8644 because they don't like Barack Obama or Joe Biden.

5:31 Fine.

5:31 Guess what, guys?

5:32 In the United States, you have the right to post that[ __] All right?

5:36 And nobody nobody really believes that James Comey was threatening

5:40 an assassination attempt of the president of the United States.

5:43 And by the way, this is to all the people

5:45 out there who uh were a week removed from the White

5:47 House correspondents dinner when I'm shooting this video where

5:50 that where the the guy tried to rush the ballroom.

5:52 All right, I know so many of you think that it was staged.

5:54 I understand why you do.

5:55 I don't agree with you,

5:56 but I understand it because they lie about the dumbest[ __]

5:59 And then when incidents like this happen, what do they do?

6:01 They don't use it to have a serious conversation about violence in America

6:05 or dealing with mental health or loneliness and isolation with young men.

6:08 No, no, no, no.

6:09 They got to use it to go after comedians like Jimmy Kimmel,

6:11 which I'm gonna play you a clip of Rogan talking about that in a second.

6:14 Then they use it to go after James Comey

6:16 over a stupid stupid sea shell post on Instagram.

6:20 All right, I just it's unbelievably stupid.

6:22 We're never I'm sorry I just keep using that word,

6:24 but we're not doing anything anything that's about improving your life.

6:28 We're not getting anything meaningful done.

6:30 They used this whole week on what?

6:32 Building the ballroom, trying to get Jimmy Kimmel fired,

6:35 and trying to throw James Comey in prison.

6:36 That's it.

6:37 Oh, and they let Spirit Airlines fall, too.

6:39 All right.

6:40 Meanwhile, gas prices are more expensive.

6:41 Diesel prices are more expensive.

6:43 There are some states where gas jumped a dollar right now.

6:47 A dollar per gallon in a single day.

6:49 I believe it happened in Indiana.

6:50 I saw it, which is right across the border here.

6:52 It's just absolutely crazy.

6:53 So, the American people are getting crushed.

6:55 Donald Trump's increasing his net worth.

6:57 He's going after his political opponents.

6:58 He's trying to build a $400 million ballroom with American taxpayer money

7:03 now after lying and saying it was going to be private donations.

7:06 Where's the outrage for that, Joe Rogan?

7:07 I swear to God.

7:08 Like, where's the outrage for that?

7:10 Because you're going to be the first one to show up

7:11 to the first party at this ballroom if they get it built.

7:14 I guarantee you that.

7:15 Wearing your little tuxedo and showing up to yuck it up with your friends.

7:18 Don't pretend like you're an ally of free speech.

7:20 Don't pretend like you are an ally of the average

7:23 American when you are part of the class

7:25 of people who are benefiting from this moment

7:28 in time from Donald Trump and his corruption.

7:30 And finally, let's take a look at Joe Rogan's response

7:32 to Donald Trump's ridiculous attacks on Jimmy Kimmel this week.

7:36 I don't love the uh the Kimmel[ __] is annoying.

7:38 Like the fighting with Kimmel over the like, come on, man.

7:42 Here's the thing about Adam Crow had a really good point.

7:45 He said that joke.

7:46 He said that joke on a Thursday.

7:48 On Friday, nobody gave a[ __] because the Kimmel, he said a joke about Melania.

7:53 He made his own mock White House press correspondents dinner and he

7:57 said Melania has the the glow of a woman who's recently widowed.

8:02 Okay.

8:02 Just that's it.

8:02 It's an old guy joke like he's going to die.

8:05 Yeah, it could be.

8:05 Or an assassination joke if you want to take it that way.

8:08 But he is old after the attempt.

8:10 No, before so it's on Thursday and this is Caro's point.

8:14 That's a really good point.

8:14 He said no one gave a[ __] on Friday.

8:16 It came out It came out on Thursday.

8:18 No one cared on Friday.

8:19 No one cared on Saturday until Saturday night when

8:21 the assassination attempt and then all a sudden everyone's blaming.

8:24 We'll stop right there.

8:25 Actually, nobody cared until Monday until Melania Trump put

8:27 out her statement attacking Jimmy Kimmehol and every MAGA influencer

8:31 and TV hack on the Republican party side decided to make

8:34 that their whole personality for the entirety of the week,

8:37 which is super stupid.

8:38 But I guess anything to make sure we're not talking about the Epstein

8:40 files or the economy because they know how deep[ __] they are here.

8:45 I want to Rogan said something in there that that annoyed me again.

8:48 this guy just drives me crazy.

8:50 But he said, "Well, you could take it

8:51 the way as an assassination attempt." Like, no, you can't.

8:53 Like, that joke is about Trump being old.

8:55 That joke could not have been more clear in my opinion.

8:58 And the people who were taking it about a a violent rhetoric

9:01 and and assassination of the president of the United States are ridiculous.

9:04 And again, it's the same group of people who believe that James Comey posting

9:08 a sea shell image on his Instagram was trying to get the president killed,

9:12 which is just people lying to try to make

9:14 a political point and then getting this small

9:16 fraction of people who follow them everywhere to uh

9:19 continue to just believe all their dumb lies.

9:21 Like that's really ultimately what it's about.

9:23 And so what what makes me angry here is that me personally,

9:27 I did think the right and the MAGA movement

9:30 and these comedians had a point in 2023 and 2024

9:33 that far too many people on my side on the Democratic

9:36 party side were not able to take a joke.

9:38 We're not having any fun.

9:39 We're spending way too much time policing comedians

9:42 on the internet and trying to get people canled.

9:44 And look, there are people who say things

9:45 that go too far and need to be held accountable.

9:48 There are certainly people who need to be cancelled because

9:50 they're abusing women and and and girls and boys and men.

9:54 That needs to happen for sure.

9:55 But there was a lot of policing, I think,

9:57 on the fringes of comedy and it was really stupid.

10:00 But Donald Trump never cared about any of that.

10:02 He used you guys.

10:04 He used you guys.

10:05 And all these guys, they shout legalize comedy and I'm a free speech absolutist.

10:10 But then they clam up and refuse to criticize this president

10:13 when he goes after one of the nation's most prominent comedians.

10:16 Whether you like Jimmy Kimmel or not,

10:18 he's probably in the top five comedians out there right

10:20 now with his show and the attention that he gets.

10:23 So that's just an example of again how all

10:25 these guys are hypocrites because I guarantee you if

10:28 you asked any of them if they would change

10:30 their vote in 2024 with everything they know about Trump,

10:33 his attacks on free speech,

10:35 his abuses of power, his corruption, the Epstein files cover up anything,

10:38 they would all vote for him again because that's how much they hated Kla

10:42 Harris and because aligning themselves with him

10:45 in 2024 was really good for their business.

10:48 Rogan's numbers were never higher.

10:50 They never got more attention than when Rogan and Theo

10:53 and the rest of these guys made this dark alliance with Trump.

10:56 They did what was best for business.

10:58 And now the truth is what's best for business is to criticize

11:01 the president because he's negative 30 plus% on basically every issue.

11:06 His approval rating is hovering in the low30s in almost every poll that you see.

11:10 And the disapproval is universal.

11:13 There's nobody undecided about this guy anymore in America.

11:16 So, it's good for business for Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens

11:20 to pretend like they weren't a part of this from the get-go, but they were.

11:24 And until they take responsibility for that, I'm

11:27 not going to take them seriously.

11:28 And I'm going to keep calling them out.

11:30 I'm going to keep calling them out.

11:31 One of the few people who's ever really even taken responsibility

11:33 here has been like Tim Dylan to like actually talk about it.

11:36 And maybe a little bit Tucker Carlson, but I doubt his sincerity.

11:39 But anyway, I'm rambling at this point,

11:40 but let's continue to call these people out.

11:43 Let's continue to treat them with a grain of of of salt,

11:46 if not like a whole bag of salt, because they're,

11:48 you know, I don't think they're sincere here, guys.

11:50 Like, I think that they're just trying

11:52 to juice their numbers and look reasonable when they

11:54 know that a change is coming because Democrats

11:56 are going to win the midterms in November.

11:57 They absolutely are.

11:58 No matter what Republican[ __] and cheating they try to bring up,

12:02 we've got a wave that's coming that's too big for them to rig.

12:04 And if you're with me in this fight, if you want me to keep exposing MAGA,

12:08 make sure you're subscribed to the channel.

12:09 Be sure to engage with this video to help us juice the algorithm and then

12:12 hit the bell icon so you get an update the next time I post a video.

12:15 Thank you.
