I don't agree with alot of what he says, but I believe this guy is going to get a following because he has solutions, not sound bites.

but he has no experience working with congress. We see how well that worked with Trump

he's already taking controversial stances


Headline on the Daily Beast.....
'Andrew Yang, Upstart Democratic Presidential Candidate, Comes Out Against Circumcision"

I’m going to sue silverware manufacturers for my weight gain. They were negligent in making it too easy for me to eat second helpings. Big Spoon is a national crisis and their reign of terror must finally be stopped.

Man, that was hilarious..

I've never listened to a Joe Rogan podcast

maybe my sum total of podcast listening it about 10 so that shouldn't be suprising

but I just read most of the slate article about Joe Rogan

and the writers opinions are everything that is wrong about the media today.


Justin Peters works for Slate and if you look at his writing history , from October 25 to November 7, he wrote 13 articles blasting Fox News.

His other hard hitting stories that weren't fox news related are about an Alexa enabled microwave and if a bicycle lock should be a smart lock.

And without looking I'd bet $20 dollars his twitter feed...because of course he has a twitter account...is a dumpster fire of random causes and outrage related to Trump and old white men in general

So his talking about the myopic view of Joe Rogan is more than appropriate. His sense of entitlement to write about what he despises in a way that says you are worthless if you don't think like I do is showing he is the very thing he claims to hate.

And he's not unique. It would seem many, if not most of the media today take this attitude. That's the real divide in this country.

Here is the article if you care to read it

https://slate.com/culture/2019/03/joe-r ... -left.html

Without having read the article, I highly recommend Rogan's podcasts (or youtube videos). He is truly independent, brings on a wide array of guests talking about a wide variety of topics. I don't think he is a fan of Trump, but his podcasts are not Trump bashing parties, even when the topic is of a political nature. Some of his guests are pretty far out (at least to me), talking about aliens and the pyramids and shit like that, I tend to stay away from those, but he has on a lot of people talking about health issues and stuff like that. Most of the conversations he has are very wide ranging, i.e., even if it's supposedly a political guest and they're supposed to be talking about political issues, the conversation will often run off into something totally non-related to politics. He's had plenty of right wing types on there too, like Jordan Peterson, Shapiro, that whole crowd. Very informative and interesting stuff usually, without the screaming and yelling and obvious partisanship. You'd like it...

Just watch his interview with Yang, it's 2 hours long, they talk about all kinds of shit, really gives you time to absorb the issues, whether you agree or disagree, not some 5 minute "interview" where the host is interrupting the guest the whole time. He's done a couple with Jordan Peterson too, you'd like those...

yea I probably would

I suspect there are many podcasts I'd like

I just never seem to prioritize my time to listen to them.

Rogan's the guy who was on News Radio, right?

Not sure, but Logan likes him...

I don't know about News Radio, he is the Fear Factor guy. Does color for UFC fights.

Yeah, he was on News Radio.

He's kind of a bad ass. Black belts in both jiujitsu and TKD. Could probably have fought in UFC.

No shit. Logan. Rogan.

So, he just sort of played himself on News Radio then.

Even Jeffry Toobin concedes...it's over.

Here's to Mueller; you did a heckuva job, Bobby:

Doesn’t matter because Mueller was compromised or incompetent...well, at least now, anyways.

Where are the folks claiming there was no Russian interference?
