Police Visited a Person Who Criticized AOC on Twitter

Do you know the story about this guy who is a liberal journalist? What did he do? He agreed with someone that said something. He liked something about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. And the police came to his house. Did you hear the story? I did. Pull the story up because it's so crazy. Crazy. That you go, this can't be real. And here we are. Now, I don't think that it's AOC who's doing this. It's probably some fucking nutty AOC reporter. Or supporter rather. Police visit the home of Podcaster after he criticized AOC on Twitter. So pull up the story because this is so crazy. This is like communist China type shit. It's so crazy that I feel like there has to be more to it when I heard about it the other night. No, it's not. Please scroll down so I can read this. Here it goes. No, no, no. So I can read that. Oh, yeah. It's about that interview that she had, which was... See? Yeah. The interview was fucking insane. And so ridiculous. On April 1st, AOC did a livestream with Michael Miller, the head of the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York. She was asked about peace between Israelis and Palestinians. Her response was incredibly underwhelming, to say the very least. Now, if you listen to her response, she's unprepared. She doesn't really have a thing to say about this. So she basically just sort of uses word salad. And it's a nonsense answer. OK, no, but go back down. Go back right there. I'm really shaken up right now. So the guy puts this thing saying it's underwhelming. He puts it up on Twitter. I'm really shaken right now. This is the next tweet. I was just visited by two plainclothes police officers from California Highway Patrol at my home. They said they came here on behalf of the Capitol Police and accused me of threatening AOC on Twitter yesterday. This is provably false. So go back up to what we just saw. So this is all he said. Her response was incredibly underwhelming, to say the very least. So someone decided that what he's now the reason being is, I'm sure this is some sort of a supporter of AOC that contacted the Capitol Hill Police and probably lied. But the fact that they could just come to your fucking house without any proof that you it's not like he's saying this lady deserves to die. She must be stopped. We have to stop. None of that. None of that. None of that. Underwhelming, to say the least, which is a very mild criticism. Especially if you watch that interview. The guy's face is classic, though. The guy interviewing, it's just like, he can't believe what she's saying. It's classic. You watch his facial expressions. It is. But this is what happens. We should play it just so people understand how, because it's really a ridiculous answer. But it's the kind of answer you give when you're in seventh grade and you're doing a, the teacher asked you a question about a book report and you didn't really read the book. Exactly what it was. The book was about Columbus. It was so important that Columbus was here, because without Columbus, there were so many things that would not have happened. What Columbus did was brave and amazing. Yeah, that's exactly what it is. Now you have to be careful. They might be showing up at your house tonight. They might be at the studio when we walk out of here. I don't think AOC does. I really don't. I think it's a crazy person that thinks that this is just my opinion. I think it was most likely a crazy person that is angry at this guy for not towing the liberal line, because he's a liberal journalist or a podcaster. That's the interesting thing, too, when you talk about growing up when we grew up, when you talk about liberalism, it means something different than it does today. There's a difference between a classical liberal and a leftist, and what we're seeing more of in this country is those terms intertwine, and they're very different things. Leftists are what we're seeing more of, which is grabbing this control, restrictions on freedom of speech, restrictions on owning firearms, restrictions on whatever they think might be, quote unquote, dangerous, especially when they throw in dangerous to the children. That's the other key when talking about it. Then they take power, and guess who's buying all the expensive houses and has the power and the control? Oh, those same people that were fighting for the little guy a little while ago and talking about all these restrictions that we needed to place on some of these more natural rights that are inherent at birth, namely, to be able to defend ourselves and our family, defend that gift of life. Yeah, like when a Marxist starts making money and buys million-dollar houses. Did that happen recently? Yeah, it did. Yeah, that's what happens. That's what happens. If you're a Marxist, you're not buying million-dollar houses. You're not on a fucking real estate market. That's not Marxism. That's why I talk to, as often as I possibly can, I talk about the importance of studying our history, putting that requisite time, energy, and effort into studying the past so we can make decisions that, because we have this responsibility to make decisions for future generations. And if we haven't put that time into studying our history, and if what you know about a certain event or a certain issue is based on someone else's tweet that you just retweeted, and all of a sudden, that's your opinion of something that's gonna affect multiple generations down the line, particularly their abilities to defend themselves and their families or to start a business or whatever it might be, well, you owe it to put down the phone to get into these books, realize, hey, why are these amendments in place? Why is this important? And from the inception of this country up until today, people have died to give you the right to be able to make these decisions, to follow your dreams, to have these options and opportunities. Not only that, everything. People have died supporting these things that you support. These things, like when people are really into Marxism, you need to learn what happened when that was the rule of law, because it's a terrible, terrible history. It's horrible, but it seems good, like the idea that everybody should have something. It should be equal for all, and all the workers should be even, and everybody should have equal things. Well, you know what happens then? You don't have the same amount of effort, because there's a reason why some people work harder than others, because they realize you can actually get further ahead. There's a competition, and that competition fuels innovation, it fuels all sorts of things. There's incentives to discipline. You wake up an hour earlier, then the next guy, you do it seven days a week, you got seven hours of work that that guy doesn't have in. Yep, where you wake up seven hours earlier, like Jaco does, and everybody else, something like that. You have that option. I can write books, you can do this. We have these amazing freedoms, and when have you ever read a book, whether fiction or non, or studied history, where the people that put names on lists, the people that restrict rights, the people that confiscate firearms are the good guys, in any of those movies, even if, let's just say fiction. Yeah, exactly. Exactly, so that should be a clue right there. But it seems like when you say it the right way, if you restrict the rights of these people to have guns, then there'll not be any mass shootings, so there'll be no guns. Oh, okay. And someone just retweets that, that becomes their opinion, rather than, hold on, let me look at the, if this was even the issue, let me take a look at the FBI crime statistics, the actual ones, and be like, oh, why are they going after this one thing that causes almost nothing? They should be going after hammers and baseball bats. Or if they really wanted to save lives, you should make sure that every single phone just turned off when you got in your car, and just wasn't allowed to operate. If you really cared about the children, or at least start 18 and under, no texting, this thing turns off when you get in a car. If you were really concerned about saving lives. So it's a disingenuous argument from the beginning, but it sounds so good. Catch new episodes of The Joe Rogan Experience for free, only on Spotify.
