Joe Rogan Ridicules Media for 'Hemorrhaging' Audiences, Drops Brutal Dose of Reality: 'You're Delusional'

UFC color commentator, comedian, and just generally interesting dude Joe Rogan has proven that he’s not just a podcaster—although his “Joe Rogan Experience” has proven to be one of the most popular podcasts ever to hit the interwebs—but he’s shown that he actually has significant influence in the political realm.

Both Donald Trump and his vice presidential running mate JD Vance sat for three-hour interviews with the maverick just days before the election, while Democrat appointee nominee Kamala Harris wimped out and instead threw hundreds of thousands of dollars to build a set so she could air her views on some trash named “Call Her Daddy.” 

Many observers thought this was a key mistake by the Queen of Word Salads and a massive win for Team Trump.

On Wednesday, Rogan blasted what remains of the legacy media after they were so thoroughly humiliated on November 5:

"I was just reading something about CNN's ratings and MSNBC's ratings post-election - they've crashed," Rogan said on Wednesday’s episode. "All these left-wing kooks on YouTube are hemorrhaging subscribers. Where people go, ‘You guys are out of touch, you're not accurate, you're delusional.’ And people are speaking with their subscriptions and they're speaking with their purchasing of the Washington Post and their purchasing of the New York Times."

As we reported, the New York Times sullied its reputation even further, if that's possible, by running a ridiculous fact-check on RFK Jr. where they tried to say he was wrong but, in the next sentence, basically proved that he was one hundred percent correct. Rogan wasn’t having it:

He then recalled how the New York Times published a baffling fact-check this week of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s claim that a popular breakfast cereal contains several artificial ingredients in the United States that are not used in other countries.

"The New York Times just debunked - in the most insane way - debunked RFK Jr's assertion that the ingredients in Froot Loops are different in Canada than they are in the United States. They fact-checked it, while saying he was accurate, so their fact-check - it's so dumb when you see the fact - I tweeted it."

He went on to say, "The fact check is so dumb because the fact check says it's not correct, they have the same ingredients… except for these harmful chemicals."

Rogan refused to let up, continuing to call out the absurd parody that has become our once-respected media:

"That made my brain hurt just reading it," one of Rogan’s guests said.

"That’s the New York f---ing Times," Rogan exclaimed in disbelief. "This is what the New York Times is doing, so, of course, you’re gonna hemorrhage subscribers, of course. You're crazy, you're saying something that's nuts and also… What is your motivation?"

"If we're saying that these things have been eliminated in other countries because they've been proven to be dangerous - what is your motivation for saying he was wrong?" he wondered.

Truth be told, I would never have in a million years thought a UFC commentator could become the voice of the top podcast in America—one that regularly receives far more ears and eyeballs than the dullards over at MSNBC—and turn into an influential political voice. But that’s exactly what he has done, mostly by talking truth to his listeners and suffering no fools.

He became a major factor in the 2024 elections because he relentlessly exposed one thing—something we do here at RedState indefatigably—and that is, when it comes to our formerly powerful lamestream media, the emperor wears no clothes.

Nobody likes to be hit up for money. If I get one more email from the schools my kids attended demanding ever more donations, I will scream. (That being said, I actually do give to some of the aforementioned institutions: the ones who didn't go woke when it was fashionable, the ones who didn't support locking our children into their bedrooms during COVID. There weren't that many of them, but for those that stood up, I'm happy to send a check.)

Sometimes, there's a good reason for the requests. At RedState, Big Tech and Big Government have repeatedly tried to censor us—to shut us down—but we refused to be silenced. 

One way we survived those Dark Days and continued to thrive is through our VIP program.

We'll continue to bring you real news and the stories that the mainstream media keeps ignoring or burying. Consider upgrading to a VIP account for the news and coverage you won’t find anywhere else. VIP status will open a plethora of stories and podcasts here at RedState. And in my humble opinion, the best part of all is that you get to be part of our smokin' comments section, where you get to say what you really feel. Trust me, it's lit. 

A Gold-level account gets you access to all of our sister sites in Townhall Media: PJ Media, Twitchy, Hot Air, Bearing Arms, and Townhall.com, while our new Platinum level gets you all that plus access to a catalog of feature-length films and a credit to the new Townhall store.
