Joe Rogan spent years giving Trump a friendly microphone and helping him reach millions of young men. Now that Trump’s Iran war and immigration crackdown have alienated the “podcast bros,” Rogan suddenly thinks people take podcasters’ opinions too seriously.
Apparently, their influence was democracy in action when it helped Trump—and a “sickness of our society” when people expect them to own the consequences.
Rogan was happy to play kingmaker. He just didn’t expect anyone to hold him responsible for the king he helped crown.

USC has an $11.5M/year coach, a $30M roster and a $200M facility, and UCLA could go from 3-9 to the CFP with a first-year coach before Lincoln Riley gets USC there in five. USC could beat UCLA and STILL watch the Bruins get in.
Elite programs cut the check and fire him.
Fastest growing NFL team in local ratings this year might surprise you.
It’s the RAMS in an absolute runaway. Rams viewership in Los Angeles is up an incredible +86% so far this season. Raiders are a very distant second at +34%.
Let me make this crystal clear. If you can separate Christians from the Ku Klux Klan, then you can separate Muslims from
Al Qaeda.
It's not rocket science.
So let me get this straight. An A.I. startup gave to Sean Duffy’s son in law’s campaign for congress.
Then Sean Duffy and the FAA gave that same company a 12 year, $875M contract for their A.I. air traffic control system.
That same traffic system went live nationwide Nov. 10.
Three days later, the FAA had to ground all flights because the system failed.
Ok. Lock em all up.
Nancie Givens took the bar exam results of 65 Black aspiring attorneys who had passed and lowered their scores so they failed, while raising the scores of white aspiring attorneys who had failed so they passed.
The depth of hatred these individuals hold is unfathomable to me.
Thankfully the Transportation Secretary is a former Real World contestant. Hard to imagine better preparation for dealing with a few curveballs under substantial public scrutiny.
Did Markwayne Mullin just say this was the first national ground stoppage since 9/11? Because no, there was one three years ago and I feel like our Secretary of Homeland Security should know that or at least have been briefed on that before giving a presser
Listen, man. I know I'm only one person, and people are going to feel the way they feel ultimately about Stephen A. Smith doing this interview. He's going to be a rich, powerful, and wealthy man regardless, but I've made HBCU advocacy and being a part of HBCU media my literal job.
Seeing these lies propagated without any pushback is enraging me.
1) He did not provide a record amount of funding for HBCUs. Both Barack Obama and Joe Biden provided more money to HBCUs.
He did not provide a record level of funding for HBCUs (both Obama and Biden allocated more). Trump's claim relies on the FUTURE Act of 2019, but that law just permanently renewed existing funding that had briefly lapsed—it didn't create a new, record-setting pot of money.
2) HBCUs were not failing before Donald Trump got into office and set aside that money. That's flagrantly false and disrespectful to HBCUs. Yes, HBCUs are under-resourced because many have been underfunded by state and local governments for decades, but HBCUs, as institutions across the nation, were not about to go bankrupt.
Especially given the fact that Trump's administration followed the Barack Obama administration, and then this second one followed record investment by the Biden administration
3) In February 2017, Donald Trump signed an executive order to move the White House Initiative of HBCUs from under the Department of Education to directly under the White House. I know this for a fact because months later, I was a White House HBCU All Star in the 2017-2018 school year (now called White House Scholars).
President Biden did move it back under the Department of Education, but it doesn't really matter what it is under if Trump isn't doing anything remotely meaningful with said initiative (outside of using it as his get-out-of-jail-free card when talking about these supposed things he's done for the Black community).
4) President Joe Biden had a board of advisors for HBCUs that featured Delaware State president Dr. Tony Allen as the leader of that board. They convened regularly. President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris also invited HBCU presidents to the White House during this same time.
So saying Democrats didn't do that is patently false, but again, Stephen A. Smith isn't providing pushback.
I know this will be the one tweet that doesn't go viral or get anybody to like or retweet it, and I don't really care because I'm going to say what I have to say.
But I'm going to address this on my show next week. HBCU Pulse Radio. Don't worry about it.
Trump dumping his Nvidia stock a few weeks before this Chinese spy story dropped is the least shocking thing I’ve ever heard in my entire life.
Straight to jail.
PFT has the same basic story as @getnickwright:
"Clay's such a fraud. He literally told me back in like 2015, 'There's no market out there right now for right wing sports, so I'm just going to start becoming a right wing sports [guy]' - he told me what he was going to do."
What White Evangelicals don’t understand about the Black vote. 90% of the Black vote for Democrats, is not comprised exclusively of liberals. Many Black conservatives also vote Democrat, primarily for one reason: RACISM!
White Evangelical voters prioritize abortion as a voting issue. Black Evangelical voters prioritize racism and race related matters as a priority in voting issues.
Voting for the party that best handles race related matters equitably, fairly, inclusively, morally and more effectively…..is a Pro-Life matter too.
Having primarily voted Republican since 1980 up until 2016 having prioritized the abortion issue, I observed the way Republicans handled racial matters very, very poorly, while using the abortion issue as a guise to gain votes from the Christian Community, while not making a sincere effort to enact legislation to ban abortion by offering legislation to make it a constitutional amendment.
When the Republicans offer a POTUS candidate like George W Bush, who was a compassionate conservative, fair on the race question and issues, and was willing to put up a full throttled effort to enact a constitutional amendment against same-sex marriage….that’s when you’ll see more Black Conservatives willing to vote Republican.
