I mean, I know we saw him drooling on himself in the oval office, but, but they told us, they promised us that we didn't actually see and to pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. And these are not the droids you're looking for. So don't blame us. We're the intrepid fourth estate that has to speak truth to power. But, but
We were told by the propagandists of the White House to stop looking, and we did. Don't blame them. Don't blame us. Hey, buddy, I thought your job, the whole reason we have to defend the wonderful, brilliant journalists is you're going to ask the questions. If all you're going to do is take the propaganda line from Democrat White House, hook, line, and sinker, why am I even going to tune into you?
I'll just watch the White House. There's not going to be any difference in messaging.
can you imagine the humiliation that she would feel right now if she actually had an honest bone in her body well fortunately she'll never have to worry about that the the irony of her claim they often use this the highly highly edited selected video yeah they're selected to show joe biden speaking on the rare occasions that you'd actually cover it heavily edited we talk about heavily edited we just play the videos of him the irony is her her claim really applies to
And I'm not even saying it applies to the Democrat committees and the Democrat activists. I'm talking about when Kamala Harris sits down for a 60 Minutes interview and the editors have to go in there and chop it up with extreme precision to make it sound like that woman is not babbling nonsense. And by the way, she is supposedly in her right mind.
She wasn't even suffering from dementia as Joe Biden obviously was. So now you're going to see this quasi mea culpa. It's not even really a mea culpa. It's pointing the culpa at the White House and saying, wow, you know, golly, I guess he really was in decline. It reminds me of John McCain after the 2008 presidential election.
Shortly afterward, when it became clear that Obama was a complete disaster, John McCain was asked a question by a reporter. He said, there is a survey out that shows that if the election were held today, you would have won, that most people wish that you had won. What's your reaction to that, Senator McCain? And his answer was perfect.
He said, I guess my answer is, where were you when I needed you? That's how I feel about the media. Oh, great. You're covering Joe Biden's decline many months now after he's left office, many, many months after the 2024 election. Hey, where were you when I needed you?
It also just can't work because Joe Rogan is a response to them. And Joe is obviously the biggest podcaster in the world, but that's true of all the rest of us too, all the rest of us with pretty sizable platforms. We are a response to them. We exist in this space because they failed. So they say, well, when are the Democrats going to get our Joe Rogan?
you have him he's called nbc news or any of the other news networks or cnn or the new york times or the washington post you you have it you cannot complain if you're a democrat that you have lack of exposure in the media okay we have a handful of people continually suppressed by social media platforms and the reason that we are eating these people's lunch is because they lied so when cnn complains that their ratings are down after the 2024 election
Don't blame me. And don't blame you, Megan. And don't blame Joe Rogan. We're not the people watching CNN. I watch more CNN when I'm on your show because we're reacting to clips of these people saying crazy things than I ever would on my own TV. But we're not the people who tuned out CNN. who tuned out CNN many, many, many years ago.
The people who tuned out CNN and MSNBC and all the rest of these networks after the election were the liberal viewers who felt jilted and lied to because they were lied to, and then they look for alternatives. And now what? You're going to try to be the alternative to the alternative? I don't think it's going to work.
You know, I heard it once described as a distinction between Bill Clinton and Rudy Giuliani, archetypal Democrat, archetypal Republican. You can send Bill Clinton into a room and he would find the one issue that 100 people in the room all agreed on. And you send Rudy Giuliani into a room full of conservatives, they'd find the one issue on which they all disagreed.
there's nothing conservatives love more than disagreeing with each other this is why on the left you have progressives basically only progressives left in the democrat party on on the right you have the paleo cons and the neocons and the libertarians and the traditionalists and the this and the that and the neopaleo and i heard it described that the obscure political monikers are the right-wing version of gender pronouns you know we just
all have to fight on every single issue. Okay, well, that creates some problems in forming political coalitions that work. That's why what Trump was able to do in 2016 and 2024 was so impressive. He brought in all these disparate groups who don't seem to get along, but they all voted and actually did something together.
But the advantage of having all that disagreement on the right is the truth tends to get out a little bit. We're not so in lockstep. We're not so married to a single ideology that you could see a political event occur right before your eyes and deny it and have that denial enforced by all the powerful institutions that the Democrats have taken over.
The universities. Yeah.
Listen, I'm not going to pretend like I've never listened to a Bruce Springsteen song. I was raised in New York. This is a little TMI probably, Megan. I was conceived in New Jersey, okay? So I've listened to plenty. I love Thunder Road. Atlantic City is great, even though the band's version of Atlantic City is better than Bruce Springsteen's version.
The reason that Trump can get away with this right now, taking a big, prominent rock star, even if he's a little past his prime, or taking a big pop star like Taylor Swift, or taking any of these celebrities that Trump takes on, the reason that Trump can get away with this in a way that no other Republican has been able to is that Trump is a bigger pop star than they are.
This is the first time Republicans have ever had this. We came pretty close with Ronald Reagan. He was a Hollywood star. Trump is even bigger. Trump has dominated the popular culture. Network TV was top of the ratings. He's been in tabloids my entire life. Major, not only businessman, but major pop culture figure. And the left is so off-footed by this.
