Date: May 4th, 2025 10:44 AM Author: turbofag My thing is, I wish we could go back to: If you work forty hours a week, a hundred and sixty hours a month, you can live comfortably. You can pay your rent. I don’t think anybody should be able to argue the fact that if somebody works a hundred and sixty hours a month for you, and they still can’t pay their rent, you’re not paying them enough. And this thing where they then have to go out and get a second job and spend more time away from their children—that’s going to hurt this country. And it’s also an incredibly callous and cold thing to do to somebody, knowing that because you want a bigger pool, they’re going to miss out on the greatest thing ever, which is watching their kid grow up, and you’re stealing those moments away from them. I had a friend of mine, he told me this story. Right out of college, he got a job with this big corporation. He was living in New York. He gets the job. He crushes it. And then they place him in San Francisco. So he got to know somebody in H.R., and they’re having a beer one night. He goes, “You know, I don’t understand. They have offices everywhere. I live in New York. Why did they place me all the way across the country?” The other guy goes, “Ah, they do that on purpose. They want to move you away from all your family and friends so you’re less likely to quit, because you have no options.” And I always just wanted to be in on that meeting, because, you know, they talk around it. Did you ever see—what was that movie that came out a few years ago? “Zone of Interest.” The way that they were talking about putting people in ovens. They were talking about it like it was cargo. And they were dressed nice, and they were clean, and they were having a little coffee, and they were talking about the most evil thing ever. Like, the person who came up with that got rewarded for that. Breaking up families and moving somebody away from—that’s, like, that goes back to slavery. It’s terrible. They’re constantly demonizing the people with no power. Like, the food industry. When they saw heroin addicts, they were jealous of heroin! They go, “I wish people were into our food like that.” So what they call it is, “We want our food to have a certain amount of craveability.” It’s beyond evil, but because it’s legal, and because politicians are so underpaid, and they’re taking the money from that, they don’t do anything.
They’re trying to turn my brain to mush. And I’m helping them every night death-scrolling on Instagram. I need to start reading again.
And then every election, it just comes down to immigration and the other usual five or six talking points. And it’s, like, how did we go through another election and no one was talking about the complete, out-of-control greed? The most amazing thing for me during the pandemic, other than the fact that a virus got politicized, was the fact that if you had a three-hundred-thousand-dollar house, and you were trying to sell it, it was difficult. But if you had a forty-million-dollar house, they couldn’t keep them on the market. I was thinking, Where are they getting this money? |

Date: May 4th, 2025 10:53 AM Author: turbofag One thing you often hear in blue states is people saying, “What’s with these red-state people voting against their interests? Don’t they know that the Democrats have better policies for them, that they want to give them universal health care and raise the minimum wage?” And one explanation for that is, “Well, the Democrats don’t sound pissed off the way Dave Moss sounds pissed off.” Like, if you’re a person who’s being fucked over—
Well, how about this? How about Democrats haven’t been able to decide who they wanted for their Democratic nomination for three elections? [Bernie] Sanders won it both times, and they said, “Nah.” So, like, why have the primary? They didn’t want him, because he was gonna go after the stuff that’s paying all the corrupt people. And these are liberals! And then you see all this shit that the right-wing people are doing right now, banning books and stuff like that, and liberals are freaking out about that, and it’s, like, you guys were doing that four or five years ago!
You mean with social media?
No, I mean at colleges. They were way overstepping bounds. It’s, like, “Dude, I’m sending my kid there to get an education, not for him to be brainwashed with your extreme ideology, to the left or to the right.” So if you’re on the left, what you feel right now, watching what they’re doing, is how they felt. Now, I’m not saying which is more valid. That’s not my place to make that decision for you. But I feel like most people are in the middle and have been covering their heads for the past twenty years, being, like, “What the fuck?”
If you look at the news, what do they show? When they show a Trumper, they just show the dumbest person they could find, going, “Donald Trump’s a genius. That’s what the ‘J’ stands for.” Right? And then to show a liberal, they show that woman crying when Trump first got elected. That is not an accurate portrayal of either side. Those are crazy people. And then, meanwhile, Democrats and Republicans all got on the same page and agreed that they can’t be tried for insider trading. So, like, what the fuck are we doing here?
One of the most divisive things in this country has been Hollywood award shows. These fucking idiot actors—the way they talk down to red states that they’ve never been to is the exact same way idiot rednecks talk about California. How are you going to get the other side to hear your opinion when you just insult them and don’t listen to them? That’s like people on the right: “What are you, a libtard?” That is the internet. The internet is you start your point off with “Hey, fuckhead.” Who’s listening after “fuckhead”?
The main tension I want to push on here is that it seems like—you said yourself that you have to remain apolitical, because it’s what you do. You have to be able to have the freedom—
But I’m also apolitical because I look at it for what it is.
Sure.
And these guys are just bullshitting me. They’re all bullshitting me.
Sure. But let’s say that, hypothetically, there was more bullshit coming from one side than the other.
More bullshit that you don’t agree with.
Well, O.K. “Don’t agree” is one thing. But there’s a difference—let’s just stay on the example of education. It’s totally true that a lot of universities skew to the left ideologically. But there’s a difference between that and the government arresting you for your speech, or banning a book. Right?
Yeah, but how do you get there? There’s stepping stones. Why is there Fox News? Because there was CNN. All of this shit—no President has been allowed to be President since the first Bush. Once they went after Bill Clinton for lying about a blow job, everybody else—George W. Bush: he stole the election. Obama: he’s not from here. Trump: everything that he did. Joe Biden: “Let’s get something on him. We can’t get something? Oh, his kid does cocaine.” How does it help us if a certain percentage of the President’s day is dealing with the other side trying to take him out and impeach him, which is never gonna happen?
I hear that. But—
Listen. This is my deal. O.K.? These guys who are in power right now, they’re trying to set my people—which is white people—they’re trying to get us back to the mind-set of, like, pre-civil rights. There was a shame, for a while, to being racist, and now there’s a pride to it. And that’s—racism weakens the country. If you wanted to make it a strong country, you would include everyone. And then to watch them taking away these books that explain what my people did . . . first of all, it’s, like, do you think they’re gonna forget? Haven’t we done enough to Black people? Haven’t we done enough to at least just acknowledge what we did? The fact that you’re gonna take that away is just—it’s evil. It’s evil after evil.
So here’s the thing. As a white person, you can’t just be like, “Oh, my God, those red-tie people.” You need to move. You need to do something.
That whole MeToo movement, it started off with something that everybody agreed with. “Hey, we need to get rid of all of these freaks sexually assaulting women and using their position of power for sexual favors.” Who was against that, other than people who were doing it? And then all of a sudden, within two years of that, it morphs into, “I don’t like what you’re saying in your standup act.”
I am careful to assess each thing—what am I getting behind? So what I am behind right now is trying to bring the boiling water down to a simmer. And I would like the rational people on both sides to be running stuff again.
Are we gonna talk about the play, or am I just gonna come off as this political guy? |

Date: May 4th, 2025 12:13 PM Author: turbofag The interviewer is such a snooty sarcastic libtard who isn't even listening to anything Burr is saying. He just chimes in to insinuate one side (the other side) is worse than the other (his side) even if his side is also bad it pales in comparison to the atrocities of Trump. Wow. What a journalist.
I hate when they make these allusions that the interviewee is just supposed to nod mindlessly in agreement with. My rule is any time a lib journo makes a sarcastic allusion to his personal views he or she ought to by law plunge head first into making the entire case against Trump laid bare full throated every time. Like don't just snipe at him like a little bitch. Be a man, go full chips in the middle. These people are the lowest of the low. |

Date: May 4th, 2025 12:27 PM Author: novus homo (gunneratttt) people got into rogan not because he's some manosphere rightwing guy that he gets portrayed as. he's a liberal and was a bernie supporter. it's because he's the only dude that just asks questions honestly, sits there's quietly, and then posts the entire interview unedited.
i'm not a huge fan of rogan as a comedian or smart interviewer. i'd much rather have a someone like tucker or maddow how actually knows the issues and can ask more insightful questions. but everyone in this sphere is pushing an angle and every interview becomes a debate. and one that the interviewer can edit or simply not air if it goes poorly for them. i love watching talk shows from decades ago because it's calm and fair. even radicals like malcolm x were allowed to just get up there and talking about why they believe what they do without a hostile interview interrupting them to "win." |

Date: May 4th, 2025 12:34 PM Author: turbofag Cr. Dick Cavett was the best. This guy interviewed the most controversial figures of the day and remained chill the entire time. He had Norman Mailer ranting about misogyny. All kinds of kooky shit and never took off his diaper.
Rogan has a unique gift and anyone who denies that is not being honest. I am envious of his abilities I know I don't have. I'm a partisan and I accept this. I don't believe in JFK conspiracies or UFOs. I'm not cut out for podcasting or if I did it would be niche. Rogan should win the Presidential Medal of Freedom for presenting points of view some people don't like. It's a public service. |
