A few days ago, Joe Rogan decided to go on a tear about a horrible piece of legislation
coming from Australia that would actually ban people from growing their own food.
Now, how horrible is that?
Right?
Joe Rogan absolutely was tearing into these people for being so oppressive until of course
he realized that the whole thing was absolutely fake.
So before giving too much away, take a look at Joe Rogan and this slow realization
that he was spreading fake news.
Here's the clip.
Ah, it was a part of Australia.
I think it was new south Wales.
Someone was trying to pass a law that won't allow you to grow your own food.
Oh my.
And they were saying, whoa, you could grow your own food.
And what else?
The disease was from your food.
It infects, the population kills us off.
Oh, we pulled can have that.
Oh, they pulled that back.
They got a good grip on people during the pandemic.
They locked everybody down in Australia.
And then, you know what?
We're gonna stop these when raw their own food.
Cuz that's how you smoke out on anti-vaxer.
Yeah.
Make, make you can't even grow, go to the grocery store anymore and you can't grow your
food.
No dependent take that shot
It's close.
New Zealand is like right
Around the corner.
Could have, um, there's
Got, it's gotta be a real thing.
It seems too good to not be
It's it's obviously, um,
Tyson outlaw growing food in Australia and nothing.
Not a single thing comes up.
Hmm.
Hold on.
Except for that, which was a false thing.
Growing your own food.
They want, they want us completely dependent.
Yeah.
I can't find it either.
Better not be fake.
Mm-hmm it might be fake,
But that even if it's fake, right?
Like the fake is usually the warning
Okay.
So he starts off mocking him, right?
Like, Ooh, do do do.
Okay.
Yeah, sure.
If it was real, I could understand that.
But then he goes into the weird, like, this is how you get people to get the shot.
No, you're you're kind of apples and oranges there.
That's that's not a thing.
Not exactly sure why you wanna bring that up.
But of course, you know, you've, you've grown huge.
Uh, you were huge before it, but you've grown even bigger going into the whole anti-vax
crap too there, but then your guest, right, Brian Sharp is like, well, I mean, even if
it's fake, the fake is usually a warning.
No, you're an idiot.
You're an absolute blithering idiot.
And you know, thank God Joe Rogan's producer sitting there like yeah.
Uh, I, I can't, I can't find it anywhere then Rogan's like, all right, let me find, oh man,
I, oh.
It's fake.
Like you were mad that it was fake.
Why were you upset that this thing you didn't like anyway, turned out to not be real.
You should have been relieved, like, oh good, thank goodness.
This isn't actually a thing that's happening.
Instead.
You were mad, but Joe, let me tell you something, cuz I've actually been in this business longer
than you.
I know you're far more successful than I am, but let me give you a little tip here.
Since you seem to have trouble with this, you don't fact check things after you say
them, right?
That that's part of the legwork that goes into producing a show before it goes on the
air.
You don't do it after the fact.
I mean, Hey, at least you admitted that it was fake on the air.
So I guess that's good.
But what happens to the people who had already had to tune out before you got to that part
folks?
That's the thing everybody forgets about.
Sure.
Oh, well he admitted it was fake.
Yeah.
But not everybody made it that far in the show.
Some people had to turn it off.
Right?
They got, they were listening in their car, they got to their destination, they got called
to work something, whatever it was, they may not have made it to the part where they realized
it was fake on the air.
So they go out and then they spread that misinformation.
That's the problem.
You don't fact check after the fact you do it before you go on the air.
And that's the problem.
Joe Rogan has.
I mean, this man is clearly one of the most gullible people in the media like, whoa, well
I heard somewhere, somebody said maybe a thing's happening possibly in Australia.
And so I'm just gonna talk about it as if it's the gospel truth.
That's why this show is so dangerous.
Folks Rogan does in fact have a responsibility to his audience.
He may not want it.
He may try to say like, Hey look, I'm just an idiot comedian.
Sure, fantastic.
But you have a large following and you have a responsibility to these people, whether
you want to have it or not, it exists.
And it's on you.
Of course.
Part of the problem is the fact that the American public has decided to make the guy from fear
factor.
One of the most influential people in this country.
But that's a conversation for another day.
