Joe Rogan Gained Two Million Subscribers Since CNN and the Left Tried to Cancel Him
Joe Rogan is alive and CNN+ is dead.The podcaster claims the media frenzy over anti-vax conspiracy theorist guests and his past use of the N-word has netted him two million additional subscribers. In Friday's episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, the comic and UFC commentator was asked by his guest, British political commentator Douglas Murray, about the uproar. "You have been put through the wringer since we last met," Murray says. "They did a number on you. Wow."Tater fails again. Tater fails at everything. Tater, you seriously need to find some other line of work. I don't know what that would be. You're literally bad at everything. I would suggest something that does not involve being on camera or Using Words. Probably some line of work involving a bucket. Try googling the Slop Sector of the economy. They also discussed the Potato that led the charge -- well, the slow, labored walk -- to cancel him.
"It's interesting, my subscriptions went up massively -- that's what's crazy," Rogan replies. "During the height of it all, I gained two million subscribers ... Yeah, [the media] went for it. It's also fortunate that the people who went for it were CNN. They're so untrustworthy and people know how biased they are and socially weird their anchors are."
Age 36? Wow, I didn't realize he was so much older than we are. He doesn't understand us or our generation. Maybe that's the problem.
"I have a rule that I try not to be mean about people's apperances," answered Murray, continuing, "but," which caused Rogan to break out into laughter. Murray then mentioned how he would have guessed Stelter was "56 or something," and was told to "look it up" on his phone. Afterwards, he "couldn't stop laughing for the rest of the evening." Stelter, age 36, was born in 1985.

393 Dan Crenshaw is absolutely right.
As long as the jealous, cheap fucks keep thinking they can hire top notch people that have a responsibility to spend TRILLIONS of dollars each year for the price of a mid-level manager, all they'll get are the bored millionaires and broke no-nothings that populate congress now. Reasonably successful small business owners and professionals (the type of people who we need in congress and the senate) make between $300,000 and $800,000 per year. Add in another $200,000 for the additional expense of a second home in D.C. and you come up with a million per year. Pay half as salary and the other half as a bonus for getting all the INDIVIDUAL spending bills done on time and in budget, with no more omnibus-throw-the-kitchen-sink-in-at-the-last-minute spending bills.
You get what you pay for in this life.

No, its called public service for a reason. You if you're not rich you shouldn't run to get rich and they ALL do if they aren't rich when they get there. That's why the salary should stay the same. They still get great benefits (eye care
If they want or think they can get rich or better themselves as Crenshaw whines, go back into public life. Crenshaw's words are the EXACT advertisement for term limits. If he cared so much he'd push that. Instead he's more worried about his graft. And I am sorry, if you can't squeak by on what he's making, tough. I am not going to add fuel to the flame wars from the last but I think Crenshaw is a major disappointment, I had high hopes for him. Now, meh bleep him.Posted by: Minnfidel at April 25, 2022 01:05 PM (GwxCX)

Elon Musk has an offer in at $54.20/share . . . and it's trading this moment at $51.73/share.
Would be cool if Elon pulled his offer at the last second on Wednesday night, before the Board formally accepts, and Twatter stockholders wake up to an opening price of $29.01 or lower.

So I guess when you have a problem, you should keep doing exactly what you did before, but bitch louder. That will make it better.
As far as "public service", go tell your wife that you have to downsize your house, can't send the kids to college and forget about any more vacations because you're going into "public service" as a congressman. Tell her it will be worth it because the press will be looking up her ass with a microscope for any flaws. If she's a patriot, she'll tell you to go for it.
Or she'll tell you to go to hell.

----------------------
Since roughly the 1990's, Congress critters no longer draft legislation--instead it is handled by interest groups, the executive branch, and political donors. All Congress does is sell the pig in the poke and to hide that fact--Congress more or less stuffs the legislation into a must pass omnibus bill. As far as investigations and oversight, Congress has repeatedly flubbed them because the people sitting on those committees by and large do it for position taking and not for truth telling.
Much as the UK Parliament has gradually ceded power to the Cabinet and now to the PM--the US Congress has gradually ceded its power to the leadership in both parties and the executive/bureaucracy/judicial branches. The form is there but the substance is gone.

Well to expand on what I said above: I joined Twitter with the express purpose of selling books. It was part of a "build a platform" theory many suggested online; you mak friends, create a network, become popular as a person on line, and people buy your books.
As a secondary purpose, I hoped to promote my blog which I was still writing at the time.
It worked for neither. As ACE noted a few weeks ago, Twitter users don't want to go to read blogs, they want to read Twitter because its short and punchy and requires little thought. So even if they go to your blog post, they probably won't read it, and almost certainly will not be back.
As for selling books, again, Twitter readers have the attention span of a cracked-out monkey, and don't want to read books, either. They want to post about reading books, but not actually, you know, read one.
So it was an utter fail to be on Twitter to promote my work. It was the wrong place, and worse, it was a huge time sink I spent too much time on.

The public is not the private sector because one Congress cannot create binding rules for another. The whole one neat trick gimmick does not work if the entire family is at the trough in DC. Congress critters no longer have that many show spouses but instead they are in office themself in the bureaucracy, executive, etc. or in lobbying firms/media/research in the DC blob economy. It is not for nothing that DC dominates the wealthiest counties in the country lists where it used to be a backwater.
The system will crash--it is simply a matter of time and the undermining of the reserve currency status by the FJB junta is likely to speed that up. Might want to bone up on what happened in the UK post WWII as that is coming here.

Theoretically you can then sell that or use it exclusively. Like, if you're Coca Cola and buy the "little girl grinning by burning house" meme picture, you can use it for your ads, but nobody else can.
But I have another, more sinister theory: EU law killed a lot of websites with its copyright and protection laws that did not allow anyone to use anyone's image or work without permission (although news organizations seem to have an exception).
This is locking down meme after meme as they are purchased. You can go to jail in Europe for using a meme that has been NFT'd as I understand it.

One year of Biden and Social Security loses a year. A little math involved, but three more years of him equals what year will it run out of money?
Posted by: More Good News
--------------------
Technically, Social Security does not 'run out' of money but because it is pay as you go, the SS taxes on the current worker force will be unable to pay full benefits for retired--not zero but some percentage lower. But, that is a static analysis that does not consider that effectively Social Security spending is not segregated but comes out of the general fund. Medicare though is in increasingly dire straits so the retired which must take Medicare to get Social Security benefits may not live that long without medical care to get to 2032. I think last time I looked, Medicare taxes should be about double or triple what they are to come close to balancing books or benefits have to be cut severely which affects quality of care obviously.

Hey, here's a thought (just spitballing here)...
When you can see something bad coming, wouldn't the smart thing to do be trying to stop it? When the process that we're using doesn't seem to be working, wouldn't it be prudent to try something else. If the incentives that you use to hire people get you idiots and crooks, couldn't changing the incentives help get you something better?
Or, we could just bitch about the impending doom.

Posted by: blake
-----------------
That was the plan all along--outright repudiation of the debt is a desperation move as it is easier to depreciate it via the hidden tax of inflation. But, that only works if you stop digging your financial deficit deeper and inflating the debt risks severe consequences to those on fixed income or unable to raise their labor compensation.
Like zero interest rates, inflation distorts investment markets also making us poorer in the long run. Argentina is a perfect example of how fiscal misconduct ruined one of the wealthiest countries in the world in 1900.

Looks like Macron won 58% to 41%, so it was a pretty hefty margin. Contra to what Ace wrote in the sidebar, I think that LePen did as well as it is possible for any semi-right leaning candidate to ever do in France. The hard core socialists (in reality communists) who had 21% in the first round combined with Macron's base of Euroweenies and EU supporters to give him that margin. There is no way anyone from the right will ever make a dent in those two groups.

Rogan is successful in part because he is NOT an ideologue and thus can shift his attention or critiques to current situations without that much baggage. That is the benefit of being an interviewer and entertainer. An intellectual or politician would have to admit all sorts of past errors in predictions which destroys their credibility in a flash--most intellectuals opt to double down to ride out the storm and that people will forget later. That is also why Stewart's Apple show is failing as he reveals the ideologue inside and he is locked into his positions as a result. Woke entertainers are a contradiction in terms.

His "sin" was saying the word in that context, instead of saying "n-word".
If you want to argue that he shouldn't have done that, then fine, I'm willing to entertain that. Personally, I would not say the word, ever, in any context, and can understand how ever saying the word in that context could still be "off-limits", but it's hardly a cancel-able offense. Literally the entire conversation should have started and ended with "hey, Joe, maybe just say 'n-word' instead of actually saying the word" and that's it. Full stop.
But not that long ago, saying it in the course of an academic discussion/discourse about the word, itself, wasn't verboten. I recall very clearly in 1996 in history class, we watched the movie "Roots" and during that discussion, in middle school, we all said the word. My teacher even said the word.

As far as I'm aware, he never used the word outside of a "discussing the word, itself" context, and in that context, at least within living memory, and certainly for someone as old as Joe, and even during the timeframes that his podcast existed, that was perfectly acceptable.

Free speech is an innate right, and, as such, cannot be taken away. Using that right, however, can be punished.
Disney was punished for exercising their right.
i'd also like KarlynB to also tell us how using the "n" word is protected speech, and, therefore, shouldn't be punished. I'll wait.

The opponents of Macron were split between the far right and the far left, and in this election the far left just proved that they'll ote for Macron before they would even go along with anyone the right supported.
Eric Zemmour was articulate, thoughtful, an accomplished writer and speaker who made the case for French nationalism very well. He got 7% of the vote.

Grooming children is protected speech.

Disney is retaliating for protected speech.
Harmful speech is still protected speech.
Speech that expresses a political view you don’t like is protected speech.

That was one of those "is this legal in the constitution?" things that the founding fathers went "meh, its good for the country" and did anyway.

Disney (not Walt, the Corporation) is suppose to focus on increasing stockholder value, not preaching woke values. While they worked to operate their theme parks and entertainment venues, federal, state and local governments couldn't be more helpful. Once they decided that millions of shareholder dollars should be spent to increase the liberal bonafides of the chairman, the collective rath of politicians, shareholders and the public should rightfully come down on the corporation's head.

They remember LePen's daddy and associate her with that, even if its not valid. I have a buddy who lives in Manchester and hes convinced she's a huge fascist racist monster who hides it well, but was unable to give any examples of how she is.
I dunno, maybe she is, but I'm of the opinion that Macron is worse for the country than even someone like that would be.

Grooming isn't speech. They are actions, some of which are speech, to sexualize a child for sex.
I'd like to ask her how in the hell does grooming a child for sex doesn't violate their NAP. I'll wait for that as well.
She has been in a manic phase for at least 16 hours calling everybody who disagrees with her a statist. So if you are against grooming children for sex and want laws in place and punishments for those doing it, then you are a statist.

Medicare Advantage relies on controlled care networks and did have (not sure about current) greater benefits to individuals including vision/dental/etc in return for restricting providers. At least initially, providers and their network got paid a bit more. Obama whacked that payment somewhat to pay for his Obamacare and Democrats in Congress do not like the program but their constituents do. From what I've gleaned (without serious study of it), Medicare Advantage works well in some states but not so good in others.

Agree, but in this case with government there was no date in perpetuity on the agreement to let Pedo Rat govern itself. So were they punished? In a sense but FL is legally able to end said privilege. I am sure the Pedo's lawyers will fight it and hopefully lose. I expect it to go the SCOTUS.

CRT, most legal commentators are failed lawyers. Look up Eugene Volokh for at least one law professor who doubts that Disney has an actionable case.
I bet that you did not hear any of the commentators talk about the liberty interest analysis which is what applies here. Under the 14th Due process, no one can be subject to loss of liberty (and property/life) without due process of law. So, using a liberty interest, one has to analyze the liberty interest (free speech in this case) and whether the punishment by the state legislature is a stigma (punishment by loss of a benefit that everyone else can obtain). See Constineau v. Wisconsin for an example of how it works. In the case at present, Disney has one year to reapply for a std improvement districts, just not with the special powers that Reedy gave unique to Disney.

The "N word" controversy was of course a complete attempted hit job by pulling some lines from an old podcast.
And the "conspiracy theorist" that got the Davos-Gates-Fauci World Control people in a tizzy was a several hour podcast with that notorious nutjob Robert Malone who was one of the pioneers of mRNA vaccines, and who basically aligns with the Great Barrington Declaration authors led by well-published, full-Professors from Standford and Oxford.
He does get into the psychedelics and is not above putting on wacky guests for entertainment, but on relatively serious topics JR is clearly more information-driven and intellectually curious than pretty much every legacy media broadcast.
And IMO he's a great example to young men that you don't have to be a complete physical pussy to speak intelligently, and not to be ashamed of being a high-achieving dude.
