Authoritarian socialists have very thin skins. Joe Rogan seems to have gotten under the skin of the Biden administration. They, proving they have no conception of constitutional government, want something done about it. Tucker Carlson provides details.

Carlson: Joe Rogan may be the most popular broadcaster in the English-speaking world right now. Every episode of his podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience” reaches about 11 million people, and some of the episodes get an audience many times that. How many people is that? It’s a lot.

For perspective, last night, CNN’s highest-rated show had a little over 700,000 viewers total. So Joe Rogan is big, and unlike CNN, he’s not especially political. His show covers pretty much everything: comedy, science, nutrition, the paranormal, recreational drug use, exercise, mixed martial arts, music, Hollywood and a huge range of other topics, often with guests you’ve never heard of.

Rogan is not a reactionary, unlike most people in the media, he doesn’t think he already knows everything. He’s genuinely curious, and so he lets his guests speak. His longest interview lasted for more than five hours with a standup comedian. When Rogan does talk about politics, it’s pretty clear he’s not an ideologue. He interviews everybody. Liberals and conservatives, as well as a lot of people like Mike Tyson, who could be either one. And he does it most of the time with respect and self-deprecation.

He’s not an expert on politics. He’s not pretending to be one. Rogan just asks questions, and he notes the obvious. It’s this last quality that makes the people in charge hate and fear Joe Rogan. If you’re trying to sell an absurd, obviously untrue idea, it is possible that Joe Rogan is going to call you on it. Not because he’s a partisan, he’s not. But because he just can’t help but notice. That’s his secret. A few months ago, Rogan watched the White House press secretary lie about the FDA’s approval process for Pfizer’s COVID vaccine. So he said something about it. Watch.

ROGAN: Jen Psaki’s talking about misinformation online and combating misinformation. She distributed misinformation, because she said that it’s approved by the FDA and their gold standard.

Yeah. What he said was true. Rogan’s pretty literal, actually. It’s one of the reasons people trust him. And he was right in this case. Jen Psaki was lying to the country, and it wasn’t even an especially clever lie. Anyone with internet access could have verified that what Jen Psaki said was a total crock, from the podium, too. But when Joe Rogan points this out, it really stings. A lot of the people listening to him believe him. And the White House took notice. So what happened next? Well, here’s Jen Psaki from yesterday calling on Joe Rogan’s employer to censor him. Watch.

PSAKI: This disclaimer, it’s a positive step, but we want every platform to continue doing more to call out misinformation and disinformation, while also uplifting accurate information. But ultimately, you know, our view is, it’s a good step, it’s a positive step, but there’s more that can be done.

There’s more that can be done? Hey, you little fascist, that’s a threat. That’s exactly what it is. Politicians and their spokes chicks didn’t use to talk this way. They were not allowed to talk this way because the First Amendment explicitly prohibits it. You’re not allowed to use government power to shut down broadcasters who criticize you. Period. And now that’s exactly what they’re trying to do.
