Joe Rogan,
who signed a $100 million deal with
Spotify is concerned about canceled
culture.
Let's watch what he has to say.
>> You can never be woken up.
That's the problem, It keeps going.
Going further and
further and further down the line.
And if you get to the point where
you capitulate where you agree
to all these demands.
It will eventually get to straight
white men are not allowed to talk.
>> >all right >> > because it's
your privilege to express yourself
when other people of color have
been silenced throughout history.
It will be you're not allowed to go
outside because so many people
were imprisoned for so many years.
I mean, I'm not joking.
>> No, no, I know >> it really will
get there.
It's that crazy.
Yeah, we just got to be nice to
each other man.
And there's a lot of people
that are taking advantage of this.
This weirdness in our culture,
and then that becomes their thing.
Their thing is calling people out
for their privilege, calling people
out for their position.
It's crazy times.
>> So I like marijuana.
I love marijuana.
I think it's starting to make them
a little too paranoid.
I'm just keeping it real like he's,
there are components to quote
unquote, canceled culture that.
I do think are toxic and
we've talked about it on this show,
and I'll
explain in more detail right now.
But before I do, let me just note
that there's actual awful canceled
culture.
Taking place by people in positions
of power that never
get any attention.
So I'll give you a few examples
like the state of Florida passing
literal legislation that allows
people to run protesters over.
If the protesters are allegedly
blocking the road, right?
So you don't like the protesters,
you don't like the fact they're on
the road, you can kill them.
That's literal legends.
That's canceling someone's life
because they're inconveniencing you
by doing a protest that you may or
may not disagree with.
But it doesn't matter,
canceling someone's life and
literally codifying
the justification of that.
Through legislation,
okay, never gets talked
about who cares not a big deal.
Tulsi Gabbert,
someone who Joe Rogan loves,
number one woke Bay when it comes
to forever wars, right?.
Except for
the war that's currently happening
with the Israeli government bombing
incessantly bombing Palestinians.
Who are living in an open air
prison in Gaza.
So demonstrators activists in
the United States want to engage in
something known as BDS,
the boycott divestment movement.
The whole point of that is.
Hey why don't we boycott Israeli
made products in an effort to
protest the Israeli government's
actions toward the Palestinians.
And Tulsi Gabbard really led
the charge in calling for
a resolution in Congress to condemn
these activists for doing that.
And there are actually states that
allow for
the punishment of employees who
support that movement.
People have been fired, people have
had their contracts ended.
Right in schools and
things like that in Texas,
that's one example.
As a result of supporting that
movement that's also cancelled
culture doesn't get much attention.
But the only kind of cancelled
culture that seems to get under
the skin of people like Joe Rogan.
And now unfortunately I hate to say
it Glenn Greenwald is the Rhetoric
coming from people who literally
have no power.
Right, powerless
people who are like.
Hey, we're noticing that there's
a double standard when it comes
to speech.
We're noticing that there's
a double standard when it
comes to our lives now.
The people who go after those
individuals who are bringing
awareness to legitimate issues I
think need to lay off the weed.
Stop being paranoid.
And please get Tucker Carlson's
genitalia out of
your mouth just keeping it real.
>> Wow, >> That's what I'm saying.
Okay, now with that said though,
are there toxic components to
canceled culture?
Yes, I see people weaponizing it
for their own personal career goals
and aspirations.
I see people going out of their way
to dig up dirt on individuals from
when they were literally teenagers.
In order to destroy their careers,
that kind of stuff.
Don't agree with.
But what I hate about
this discourse,
regarding canceled culture that
when I can't stand is that everyone
is on an extreme right?
Either you're like all canceled
culture is a problem and
I'm paranoid.
They're going to I mean,
I just signed a $100
million contract with Spotify but
I'm worried about being silenced.
That's one extreme.
And then the other extreme,
the people who don't think that
canceled culture is a problem at
all, when in reality yeah.
Like the editor of Teen Vogue gets
fired because when she was
a teenager.
She tweeted some things that upset
people today I think that's crazy.
>> Yeah. >> So can we just have
a legitimate, nuanced conversation
about it instead of immediately
jumping to two extremes?
That's where I'm coming from.
>> So, look, I don't know about
your thesis on his marijuana habit.
Marijuana doesn't make me paranoid,
it makes me happy.
>> I'm partly kidding about that.
You get what I'm saying?
>> You're canceled.
So, let's just note the biggest
irony first.
He said soon white men might not be
allowed to talk.
He gets paid $100 million to talk
for a living.
He might get paid to talk more than
anyone else in the country.
I'm pretty sure that Joe is
a white man.
Okay, so can you believe we're
going to be censored?
Where's my $100 million to talk?
I mean, you've got to know
the irony of that.
So I agree 100% with Anna in terms
of it's a complicated question
the cancer culture and people have
gone to extremes on both ends.
But, Joan Sake is saying that
my god, we're all going to be
shut down etc.
And being extremist on that,
as he's making bank talking as
a Very powerful voice in the media
as a White man.
It's absurd, it was a whole giant
national conversation about who
he endorsed for
President of the United States.
I'm pretty sure you're
allowed to talk, Joe.
So, let's bring that way down if
you're being honest.
Now, Anna's again,
write about all the examples I add
a couple of examples.
And on the things that Joe Rogan
never talks about and
a lot of the people.
Everybody in the right never talks
about when it comes to cancer
culture, the BDS
movement is a perfect example.
That is their opinion about
the Israeli state and what they're
doing in the occupied territories.
And the right way in this country
says yes, we should punish them for
their opinion.
We should make them shut up and
if they won't shut up and
do politically correct speech we
should have them fired.
There's like if you
believe in cancer culture,
there's literally no better example
of cancer culture.
And to be fair,
the Glenn Greenwald, he's on the
right side on that issue, right.
So he's more consistent on at
least on that issue then the others
are so be curious to see what
Joe Rogan thinks about that.
But Mr. Tough guy,
I don't know if it might piss off
some people that are powerful.
And then he might be a little bit
more skittish about that.
Right so I don't know.
We'll see I'm sure he's talking
about a nonstop on his show
I don't know.
>> But that's the thing, right?
I mean, those issues that
are actually substantive that
actually do punish people for
their political views and beliefs.
They don't get as much,
not nearly as much attention.
>> No attention.
>> Not even close.
>> No attention.
>> The bulk of the attention is on
it's the left.
The left is is trying to cancel
everybody the left has no power
guys none.
If you're on the left also and
you're delusional about that please
accept it.
The left has no power.
So like the constant like
browbeating about like, it's the
left the left is such a problem.
The left look at they're
powerless and
they going to cancel nobody because
I can't they literally can't.
>> Well, so but as you pointed out
with Lexi McCammon,
that was the Teen Vogue editor.
Sometimes it does happen, but
is it they talk about it in
a disproportionate way.
1,000,000,000% and
why do they talk about it is so
disproportionately as if it's like
the world's largest issue.
Because it might affect them.
So because Joe Rogan when he
first wanted to Spotify, there was
a little bit of controversy about
something that he said.
And whether you know that's a they
should air that or
not air that and so and so
that affected the multimillionaire
so that got under his skin.
You getting, you know fired for
saying, well, maybe we shouldn't
bluely occupy the Palestinians.
Well, he doesn't care about because
it didn't happen to him.
Classic right wing
mentality, right?
All the right wingers my God,
I want to do these racist bigoted
things.
I hate Muslims and I wanted to
be able to say this my freedom,
freedom, freedom, right?
How about the guy who said I
don't agree with the government of
Israel I'd put them away.
Put them away.
That son of a bitch make sure
you take all of his freedoms away,
protesting an oil pipeline, run him
over with your car canceled.
Okay then the hypocrisy is so
obvious, but I saw
just mentioned last two things.
They just canceled this Cheney
the Republican Party did.
Do I see all the right wingers
crying about that.
No, they're busy licking
Donald Trump's boots and
whatever else they're licking.
Okay, and then they're sitting
there going no, no no way man.
We're super tough guys,
man we want freedom.
Liz Cheney says something we didn't
like cancel her.
That's obvious okay,
that's obvious.
And then lastly, we're going into
the Capitol building on January 6.
They were chanting hang Mike Pence
hanging someone is definitely
canceling now.
Okay, so
now finally another extreme.
It's true, it does happen.
There's no question it
happens, right?
It happened to Alexi McCann.
In some ways it happened to me in
and it's happened in many
other people, right?
You said something 19 years ago and
I'm going to bring it back up.
I'm going to pretend you're
the same person.
I'm going to have no remorse.
No, no redemption, no nothing.
Judgment, judgment, judgment.
And by the way, Jimmy Kimmel did
this there 28 years ago.
And back then everybody was
doing it and
they were wrong to do it back then.
But they all thought it was okay.
And no Jimmy Kimmel's the only
one He's a monster.
We'd Let's get him fired.
That does happen.
It does happen, right?
So now we talked about it in
a measured way and
we were not hypocritical about it
like we do on this show.
And you had enough courage to call
out your own side like we do, and
call out the other side and and do
it in a consistent, principled way.
Then I say, okay, then let's have
a conversation about it, but and
talk about it in
the proper context of it.
38th most important issue in
the country, right?
People's wages,
which you don't care about because
you're a multimillionaire people's
health care you don't care about
because you have.
I'm sure the best health care there
is in the country, right?
You don't care about any
of those things.
It's actually 45,000 people a year
die because they don't have health
insurance.
I'm pretty sure that's a more
important issue that's
a stadium full of people, but
nobody cares about that because it
doesn't affect Joe Rogan.
And so it doesn't affect
Bill Maher, Bill Maher than another
multimillionaire who's like
how's it going to affect me?.
He, right?
So just keep it real Look,
it affected me and
I'm still telling you it's not
the number one issue is that most
of the 38th most important issue.
So but
no one else has it like bothers to
do any of that context.
Or because this in any way shape or
form now but we do want to ask
you guys in a poll because we we
actually I don't know.
I'm curious what you guys think
we've given you many examples of
canceled culture that's real.
And we've shown you the extreme
reaction that the right wing has to
what they call canceled culture.
And now Joe thinks like,
almost all right wingers,
if you criticize me,
you're trying to cancel me.
No, there's a difference, right?
There's a difference between
getting someone to actually fired
and saying,
I don't like what you're saying.
That's called more speech.
So we want to ask you guys in
a poll,
has cancer culture gone too far?
Now you could think that it has
gone too far, still nothing is
the most important issue, right?
And I'm sure that if we asked you
guys as canceled, has concerns
about canceled culture gone too
far, you'd probably answer yes.
But that question I don't know what
you're going to answer.
So I'm curious that's why
we ask it so TYT.com/polls and
we'll have the link down below too.
And I'm and
will report back to you guys.
what you all think about whether
it's gone too far.
But we're not having reasonable
conversations in America.
We're having out of control
maniacal conversations that totally
twist reality into something
it isn't.
