    I don’t like talking to racists, white nationalists, rapists or their ilk or similarities. Nor do I want to hear them. Joe the Team Trump Treason supporter wants to “hear them out.” Giving them a voice. And you seem okay with that?HughFreakingDillon said:

    To the point, I really like his show. Used to listen more years ago when I was in the car more. Don't have as much time now, so I generally focus on specific guests. My wife likes him, too, so it's a default show we can agree on when we're on a long drive together. 

    And, yeah, NewsRadio is one of the most underrated comedies of all time. Used to watch it over and over in college.

    I'll agree with you on newsradio but that's it. Regarding Biden v Trump, Rogan is acting like an opportunist idiot to play to his audience. And he is lying to please his audience by telling half truths.

    Yes Biden is losing some sharpness but so is trump. But trump can  overcome it with his lying and bullying, an opportunity Biden just doesnt have. Bidens  problem is he continually searches for the truth in his comments which makes his stuttering look worse and then people think omg look how old he is.

    I dont see how Oliver or Stewart lie about their political beliefs or pretend to be independent but then sway to the candidate of  choice simply to please their audiences like Rogan shamelessly does
    You're making it out to be calculated and it's not. He's high and shooting the shit for 3 hours.
    THIS. everyone takes joe seriously, and half the time you shouldn't. the other half, you should just listen to his guest. part of the problem is people who aren't familiar with it don't know the difference. i know when he's just 'shooting the shit with his buddies in his basement" and when he's actually being serious. 

    one of his downfalls is he absolutely doesn't take his influence seriously. he thinks it's laughable that people care what he thinks. he even said so after all that bernie shit blew up. "i'm just an idiot in my basement talking shit" or something to that effect. 

    i hate the fact he has assholes and racists and ted nugents on. but he just likes talking to everyone. anyone who thinks he's a racist/birther/whatever simply isn't paying attention, or looking for something/someone to be outraged about. not everyone deserves all your shitty labels. 

    thinking his audience is just "macho ufc types" shows just how ignorant some people are. yes, i do watch ufc, but i'm about as anti-macho as you get. lots of people just find his guests interesting. like me, they'll tune in when it's elon musk or neil degrasse tyson, but won't when it's ted nugent or just one of his ufc fighter friends. (the latter of which are often just boring snoozefests). 

    try reading. i explicitly stated "i hate that he has" those types of people on. and he's not a trump supporter. he wanted to vote for bernie, and said he would vote for trump over biden. he later clarified that wasn't an endorsement for trump; he said "i'd vote for a monkey over biden" because he, like many, think biden is losing his marbles. jesus this gets old. not everyone who doesn't wish trump in the grave is a fucking trump supporter. once you learn that, you'll be a lot better off. 

    i watch the podcasts with guests i'm interested in, and i don't watch the ones i'm not interested in. it's pretty simple.

    Yea, he should be taken seriously and be elevated because of his guests, who are interesting, by the way! But did you notice the shoulders in the suit jacket??? My god, who’s his tailor????? And who’s his barber?

    Do you listen to Sam Harris at all? I ask this because you mentioned some of the guests you like to listen to on Joe's show and Harris has some of those guests on and more in that vein. He's much more thoughtful and responsible than Joe too. You may enjoy his show if you're not listening already.
    not listening already? no clue what that's supposed to mean. hadn't heard of sam harris until now. 
    Why so defensive? Was just trying to make a friendly suggestion. Sam Harris has been a guest of Joe's a couple of times.
    not sure where you get that i was defensive. i watch maybe 2% of joe's podcasts.

    Hugh take a breath here. Dignin offered a suggestion about Harris. Not knowing if you had/do listen or not to Harris' show.

    This exchange is earnest enough on Dignin's part

    yeah, i know. i understand now why he thought i was defensive. i went back and looked at what he wrote, which, right now, is very clear, but at the time, i read it in a different way, that for whatever reason, wasn't, at the time. 

    i wasn't being defensive, but now realize why he thought i was.

    he has a massive following, so it makes sense. taking away rights from youtube is YUUUUGE. and yes, as mickey said, i believe it will still be available on the free version of spotify, so you'll probably have to endure some ads every 10 minutes or so.

    I’ve heard some not so good things about Spotify, so not sure I’ll follow him there at the end of the year. Meantime, I’m just enjoying it as (almost) always.

    This guy is an idiot.


    “The exiting president literally hires or gets the FBI to investigate Trump,” Rogan said. “Listen to Jimmy Dore’s video on it. Jimmy Dore’s video is excellent. He breaks down exactly what the administration did. And that it’s illegal.

    “You are essentially using the FBI to spy on Trump. And when it turned out that all that Russia stuff that they were claiming was going to happen didn’t take place. And that they knew it wasn’t really happening to begin with.”

    Kind of broad brushing, no?

    Dore is the Alex Jones of the left. Not quite as bad but more conspiracy minded than not.
