The world’s most popular podcast host and the voice of a new generation of anti-woke men, UFC commentator Joe Rogan, took time on his program to rip into MSNBC for “deceptively” editing some video footage to make it seem as if he had a bunch of nice things to say about Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee. This, of course, was not true, but when have facts ever been a roadblock for the left’s crazy false narratives?
Rogan, according to Breitbart, said, “They don’t care about the truth,” speaking of the news outlet. “They just want a narrative to get out there amongst enough people, because most people are just surface readers.” It’s unfortunate, but he’s right on the money. Most people really are just surface readers who will believe whatever the mainstream media spoon feeds into their addled brains. Critical thinking is no longer a skill that is taught in public school — leftists run that institution so of course they don’t want kids to think critically, otherwise they’d see the inconsistencies in their ideology — and thus whole generations of voters just swallow the lies hook, line, and sinker.
“This is what MSNBC did, they took a clip of me talking about Tulsi Gabbard, and they edited it up and made it look like I was saying great things about Kamala Harris,” Rogan said during a conversation with neuroscientist Andrew Huberman on Tuesday’s episode of The Joe Rogan Experience.
A seemingly shocked Huberman, who is also a tenured professor at Stanford University’s School of Medicine, reacted, “Wait, what?” “Yeah,” Rogan said. “They didn’t do it like AI, they just deceptively edited the things that I was saying — took it completely out of context.”
“First of all, I was talking about Tulsi Gabbard,” Rogan said of the first clip, adding that the second clip featured him talking about “the media behind Kamala Harris — all this surge and all these people deciding that she’s good, she could win.” “And they put the two of those [clips] together and made it seem like I was praising Kamala Harris and saying a bunch of things that aren’t even true about her,” Rogan said.
The popular podcast host further explained that he “was talking about Tulsi Gabbard being a Congresswoman for eight years, and about how she served overseas — two deployments in medical units, dealing with people who are blown up from the war.”
I mean, it’s clear, then, that he was not at all speaking about Kamala Harris. It’s not like this was just a comment taken a bit out of context. It wasn’t even remotely related to the subject the news network claimed it was.
“That’s not something Kamala Harris did, that’s something Tulsi Gabbard did,” Rogan stated during the episode. “I was just saying things about [Gabbard], and they put it out there as a clip of me praising Kamala Harris.”
He then gave his thoughts on why the network would do something like this, saying, “They don’t care about the truth. They just want of a narrative to get out there amongst enough people, because most people are just surface readers.”
Rogan said most folks will “read a headline” and then say or think, “Oh, I know what that is,” and then shut their laptops, not giving any thought as to whether or not what they read was correct or accurate. Doing research to verify something is far, far too much work for liberals. He then shot down the rumors that surfaced saying he was going to file a lawsuit against MSNBC over the video.
“This has gotten so popular that my f****** stepdad contacted me to tell me he’s happy that I’m suing MSNBC,” he said, adding that he told his stepfather, “I’m not suing MSNBC.” Gabbard, who endorsed former President Donald Trump on Monday, posted the footage to X earlier this month, saying, “MSNBC was exposed today for yet another set of lies.”
“They deceptively edited together this video of different Joe Rogan comments to make it appear that he was singing the praises of Kamala Harris,” Gabbard stated.
MSNBC is again EXPOSED as a propaganda machine for the Democrat Elite, and how they will brazenly try to deceive the American people.
One part of the video @joerogan was talking about Kamala; on another part of the video, he was talking about me. MSNBC combined it together to… pic.twitter.com/E8701iZ8dh
