Joe Rogan on the Jemele Hill Controversy

Hello freak bitches. How about Donald Trump going hard at ESPN? Yeah, but he's wrong. He's so wrong. They're leaving. No, their ratings are up. Like that's so crazy. Ratings aren't up. Are they down? Yeah, they're down. Not because of him. People leaving cable and cable cutters. Somebody said that their ratings are up though. They're like recent ratings. Maybe. Maybe with... I just read things and I just go with them. Yeah, NFL's back. I mean, they're just up because the summer's over. But in general they're down. They had all those cuts. They had a bunch of people budget cuts. They cut so much talent. But that... was it... what's her name? Jamel? Jamel Hill came out and was like... Granted she is an employee of ESPN, but on her personal social media on Twitter she was saying he's a racist. She said he's a white supremacist and she said he's the worst president of her lifetime. And a lot of people said that. It's just the fact that she's a public media figure so everybody wanted her fired. And this is like this weird outrage culture we live in. Right? She's entitled to her fucking opinion. Now, the thing is, does ESPN want people on their network being all political and talking about shit like that on their social media? And do they have rules about that? Because some companies do have rules about that. Whether you agree with those rules or not, some companies do have rules on what you can and can't say on social media. But here's the thing that I found fascinating. Donald Trump didn't talk about her. He talked about ESPN. And I thought that was a chick and shit thing to do. Like there was a woman who works for ESPN. African American. Oh yes, that's true. That's what I'm gonna say. There's a woman that works for ESPN. A very specific person. Not ESPN. You know, telling lies, should apologize, or whatever the fuck he wrote. He didn't call her out. He didn't call her out. I think he's, he's like, he's nose. You can't do it. Especially not now. And everybody thinks you're a white supremacist. Can't call. You gonna pick on the black lady? He picked on Rosie O'Donnell all day long, right? He'll go after everybody else, call him a loser. The girl in Miss America in her little speech slammed him too. She would like settle a bunch of shit about him. Did you see this joke? Is that Kirk Cameron? Looks like Kirk Cameron. That's homeboy from Survivor. What? Who is it from Survivor? Oh, no, I'm sorry. Not from Survivor. Some bachelor bachelorette. Yeah, I don't know. You ever seen him get roasted when he's accused of cheating on his girl? Classic. Anyways, yeah, that Miss America throws it down. Yeah, she said a bunch of shit about Trump and no one's going after her necessarily. She's quote unquote gaining millions of fans right now. Right, but what's interesting is I watched someone posted something about Anthony Bourdain. Anthony Bourdain was caught by TMZ at the airport, okay? Very quick, sort of silly interview. They ask him a question. If you had to cook for Kim Jong Un and Donald Trump, what would you serve? And he goes, hemlock. And he walks away. It's a joke. It's a fucking one-liner. He's also funny. He's a funny guy. He says a one-liner and all these people are saying, should he be fired from CNN for saying that he would poison Trump if he had, you know, good luck. The Secret Service is going to contact you. And so I look at his fucking Twitter page, man, and it's crazy. All these fucking psychos are telling the Secret Service they should investigate at CNN. Oh my God. Are you going to fire him like you fired Reza Aslan? What's wrong with people, man? Outrage culture. People are getting excited about things being outrageous. Instead of just going, this weed has got me coughing. Instead of just looking at it and going, well, I don't agree with that. Fuck that guy. Or going, well, that was obviously a joke, which was like the normal person would do. It like affects you like not at all. Do you really think that Anthony Bourdain wants to fucking poison Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un? And they should lose their jobs? Exactly. She's amazing, by the way. She's a beast on his head. Outrage culture. Outrage culture. People just decide they can try to affect something and then things start getting ramped up. When the momentum kicks in, all these other people jump on board and they get excited about being a part of a group that wants to get Anthony Bourdain kicked off the air. Because they want some sort of weird direction. They think they're important enough where they can get these people fired and they think if they get together enough, they're going to have the power to affect that person's life. And they can even believe they're right. Bunch of bitches, right? And I kept saying, you know, threatening the life of POTUS. I kept saying POTUS. Wow, fuck off. You guys are out of your mind. This is a person with a terrible job. Think Game of Thrones? Donald Trump is a person with a job that no one wants. Okay? That's what he is. He doesn't want it. Is he doing a good job at it? No. But is anybody doing a good job at it? No.
