.@RobFinnertyUSA: As many people go crazy over President Trump changing the name of a lake, a reminder about all the things liberals cheerfully re-wrote and re-named for the sake of their own politics.

[Fan Commentary: Joe Rogan Recaps @JoeRoganRecaps]

🚨NEW: Joe Rogan and Chris Williamson torch AOC’s “Woke 1.0” Rebrand:

“If you really believed in Defund the Police EXPLAIN what the hell you thought would happen when the police disappeared.”

“You owe America an explanation for how you ever thought less policing would mean less crime.”

CONTEXT: There’s an important piece of history here that makes Rogan’s question much harder to dismiss.

AOC wasn’t merely associated with the phrase “defund the police.”

In 2020, after New York officials proposed roughly $1 billion in reductions and transfers from the NYPD budget, she responded:

“Defunding police means defunding police.”

She argued the proposal didn’t go nearly far enough.

And when she was asked what a country with defunded police would actually look like, her answer was:

“It looks like a suburb.”

Her theory was that affluent communities stay safer partly because they invest heavily in housing, education, health and young people, reducing the conditions that produce crime before police ever become involved.

Fast-forward to 2026.

AOC was recently asked about progressive candidates walking away from controversial positions from that era and said a local councilman has a saying:

“Woke one was crazy.”

She argued that COVID-era politics opened the “Overton window” dramatically and said politicians should be judged partly on what they believe now.

ROGAN: “What did you think defund the police meant? Everyone's gonna eat mushrooms and we're all going to be flower children?”

WORTH NOTING: Here’s where the argument gets more interesting than the slogan.

There is strong evidence that police manpower actually affects crime.

A major study published in the American Economic Review: Insights estimated that each additional police officer prevented roughly 0.1 homicides, with the homicide-reduction benefit per capita roughly twice as large for Black victims as for white victims.

Another natural-experiment study of federal police-hiring grants found that cities receiving funding increased their police forces by about 3.2% and subsequently experienced about a 3.5% reduction in victimization-weighted crime.

But the first study also found a real cost that helps explain why the 2020 debate existed in the first place:

Larger police forces produced more arrests for low-level “quality-of-life” offenses, with Black Americans disproportionately bearing that burden.

So there were legitimate problems progressives were trying to solve.

And redirecting some responsibilities like mental-health crises, homelessness, addiction, and youth intervention away from armed police is a very different proposition from simply pretending police don't deter crime.

But that actually makes Rogan’s central question more important:

AOC had a specific theory in 2020.

Spend less on policing. Invest more upstream. Build communities where fewer situations require police in the first place.

Six years later, saying “Woke 1 was crazy” leaves an obvious unanswered question:

Which parts were crazy?

Was defunding police itself a mistake?
Was the underlying policy right but the slogan disastrous?

Does she still believe police budgets should be substantially reduced?

Or did the evidence change her mind?
Politicians absolutely should be allowed to change their views.

But Rogan’s argument is that changing your mind and explaining why you changed it are two different things.

MAIN TAKEAWAY: If “Woke 1” really was crazy, the interesting story isn't that politicians moved on. It’s figuring out what they learned from it.

Hunter Biden: “When my dad was president, I didn’t do any business. I sold paintings… I made an average of $225K a year.”

Bill Maher: “But would you have been working for an energy company out of Ukraine? Was that really something you studied in school?... You got that job because you were—just admit it!”

Hunter Biden: “Yeah, 100%… I’m incredibly privileged. Beyond anyone’s wildest imagination.”

Back in 2012, MSNBC attacked an American hockey player for choosing not to visit the White House under Obama, arguing White House visits for champions were standard & not the time to play politics. Now the entire Democrat party argues the exact opposite:

@Tim_Walz @BulwarkOnline You’re the biggest piece of shit on the planet. I can’t wait for you to be done. Minneapolis is not all of MN… wish you would’ve stayed in Nebraska. 🤮 and I voted Obama twice. You have no idea how to lead.

For years, I walked the sidelines when the stakes were the highest, and that job taught me how leadership really works.

I’m running for U.S. Senate to bring that experience to Washington and deliver the real results Minnesota deserves.
