“Rogan’s most prominent upcoming political guest appears to be Glenn Greenwald”

A real peach:

“In a 2010 article for Salon, Greenwald described U.S. Army Private Chelsea Manning as “a whistle-blower acting with the noblest of motives” and “a national hero similar to Daniel Ellsberg”.[34]

Greenwald was described by Rachel Maddow during his period writing for Salon as “the American left’s most fearless political commentator.”[24]

“In July 2012, Greenwald joined the American wing of Britain’s Guardian newspaper to contribute a weekly column and a daily blog.[36][37]”

Way down in the article the author says “rather than have knowledgeable articulate JOURNALISTS” asking OFFICIALS questions” The majority of so called journalists are just out for a “gotcha” moment so that the media can run with a distracting barrage of article’s that entrench things that are superficial and end up being disproven down the line after all the screaming in print and video. The media is just beside itself as they are finally getting undermined (and rightly so) by organic conversations on Joe Rogans podcast. One thing to note is that Rogan can’t be bought , he has F. U. type money now and he seeks out what interests him. Fake news is actually running scared and I love it.

So having opinions is dangerous. Sounds more like Europe to me.

So, he said the government should ban Rogan’s show when people are on his show?

On Rogan, Cooper went on a jag essentially about how he was not given free rein to empathize with Nazis and how antisemites were being unfairly banished from the public square.

“Antisemitism is a weird thing,” he said. “I think a lot of it also has to do with the fact that so many of these questions have really been made you know, it’s not like they’re off limits like they’re illegal and you’re gonna go to jail if you talk about them; I’m still sitting here. I mean, I’m on your podcast and so that’s a big platform to talk about these things. It’s not like that. But the attempt is to make it so that you can’t be in any kind of respectable society. Yeah, the attempt is to make you radioactive.”

Cooper went on to allude to “your paranoid Jewish friends who think that everybody’s antisemitic,” with a bizarre lack of self-awareness at how his own remarks might have just disproved the adjective.

That doesn't follow. Zeitchik tells us Cooper spoke about how little support anti-Semites are getting in the media. Zeitchik says that shows that Jews aren't paranoid to think that everyone is anti-Semitic. Huh?

It’s not the job of the host to “challenge” everything his guest might say. Especially in a long interview format. His giant audience also likes how it is.

It’s nice to see the orthodoxy shaken up. Carroll is very careful not to be anti-semitic. He repeatedly qualifies his statements that nothing he lays out should be taken as representing all Jewish people nor Judaism writ large.

But he lays out a very reasonable case that the Israeli government and our own beloved CIA were very much involved in the Epstein operation.

“What’s a “semetic”?“

A misspelling of the word ‘Semitic”

Darryl Cooper is an idiot, but placing him there with Douglas Murray truly exposed him.

Rogan did a public service.

He said Rogan was culpable for platforming some people. That’s when I turned it off to regulate my blood pressure.

The left is losing its marbles because the few sane people within their clique are figuring out everything they’ve been espousing and told over and over again by Democrats is total garbage, and they want off the train before it flies off the cliff.

He is very much pro-Western Civilization, pro-Israel, anti-woke, and understands just how lethal the influx of a primitive, violent, intolerant, and alien horde, fostered by the suicidal Socialist rulers of Europe, has been. Brilliant and merciless in debates with Leftists.

I don't watch Rogan much but when I have, I didn't catch any hint of antisemitism. Some of his guests do get into UFO (sorry, UAP), Big Foot, Noah's Ark, and other "fringe" areas. So if some of them strayed into the Elders of Zion Zone, Murray wouldn't be shy about calling them out.

Leftists want everyone to ask their permission before speaking.

...and they can’t shut up....

By the author’s reasoning/speculation, Bill Maher might be becoming a conservative after saying positive things about President Trump after his White House visit.
