Did Chris Cuomo Fake Self-Quarantine for CNN? w/Tim Poole | Joe Rogan

Look at where they were in 2014, look where they are now with faking the Chris Cuomo thing. They've, they've, it's the natural progression. Well, do you think that's his idea, the Chris Cuomo thing is pretty gross? Did you hear what he said on his radio show? Know what he said. He said, I don't find value in what I do. I think it's ridiculous. He said, I don't like what I do for a living. I don't like my occupation. I think, you know, and then he said something to the effect of I'll never beat them in reference to like Hannity and Maddow or something like that. I think, in my personal, in ratings. Yeah, in ratings. He's their biggest show. He is? I'm pretty sure Cuomo is their biggest show. Yeah. He's the only one that seems to be a man. And he doesn't crack a million in the ratings. Really? Yeah. It's like eight. And I think it's like 800 to 900. I think he periodically might, the ratings might be going up. I could be wrong. So check the latest stats. But I here's what I think happened. I think the CEO producers went to him and said, look, man, you got this thing. Like we should, we should, we should run with it. Let's like go to your house. We'll film it. We'll make it this big deal. You think so? I think he had that bad. I think he had mild symptoms. Look, the dude went out. The guy left his home. He was not going to. He was talking about the issues he was having. He was, he seemed normal. Right. Like here's what I would expect from someone who is as sick as he seemed to be. I don't feel that good. But hey, I'm one of the lucky ones. No, he's totally normal. Yeah, that's what I would expect. He's saying he's shivering so hard. He's chipping his teeth. Seems ridiculous. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe when it's nighttime and you're tired. Because one of the things I remember last time I was sick was quite a while ago, at the end of the night, I'd be like really achy because I was tired. And as I was tired, my immune system would be depleted and then I would feel the effects of the cold more. And then you wake up in the morning, you feel a lot better. Maybe he pops some ibuprofen. I know he was taking Tylenol. So. You're not supposed to take ibuprofen for this for some reason. Well, he said, I think he was taking Tylenol. My friend Michael Yeo said that he was told to take ibuprofen and when he did, it made it way worse. Oh wow. Yeah. Well, so here's what can I say. I'm not going to accuse the guy. A lot of people are, he never even got sick. I don't think that's the case. He probably got sick. He tested positive. But I think it seemed fairly mild in comparison to other people. Like Michael Yeo, when I talked to him, well, first of all, when he was doing a video talking about recovering from it, was coughing. Even in the video he was coughing. When he was talking about on Instagram thanking everybody. But he had a bad case of it where he got pneumonia and it was rough. And you know, Michael's a healthy guy. So that was disturbing to me. But the Chris Cuomo version of coronavirus didn't seem that scary. The dude wasn't quarantined. Okay. He went out to some property 30 minutes from his home, presumably with his family. He was witnessed by somebody else. You're not supposed to do that, right? No, you're not. I mean, it's not just that, but on CNN, they said he was locked down. They did this whole reveal where he comes out of the basement and said, I've been waiting for this. He didn't want to do a TikTok dance with his daughter or something? I don't know. I think he did. But I think the reason he went on his show complaining was because he knew it was coming. The producers told him to do this fake thing and he didn't want to do it. He wanted you right. Look, man, I worked when I make sense. He can't call them out because he wants to keep the job. When I worked for, you know, one of these companies, they told me to side with the audience. We talked about it last time I was here. They wanted me to create a narrative that the audience agreed with because we were there to serve them. What was the narrative? Young progressives, whatever they say. So social justice. So whatever young progressives say, you want to side with that? And I told him, I asked, are you saying that if there is a factual news story that would be upsetting to our audience, we won't cover it? He said, I think that's fair. Yeah.
