Tucker has a message for politicians trying to censor broadcasters

Tucker contrasts Joe Rogan’s podcast with the ‘news’ provided by CNN. How does Joe Rogan have 11 million listeners while CNN is barely hitting only 700,000? Highlights include:

“Joe Rogan may be the most popular broadcaster in the English-speaking world right now. Every episode of his podcast, called The Joe Rogan Experience, reaches about 11 million people and some of the episodes get an audience many times that. For perspective, last night CNN’s highest rated show had a little over 700,000 viewers total.”

“Politicians and their spokeschicks didn’t used to talk this way. They were not allowed to talk this way because the First Amendment specifically 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.”

“People in the media are paid to be curious, to ask questions, to wonder about other people.”

“None of them do, they just want to lecture you. This guy actually is interested. But no one who’s criticizing him seems to know that. It doesn’t seem like they’ve actually listened to his show.”

“Those are facts, and if you think they’re wrong, tell us how they’re wrong.”

“But why shouldn’t people hear that? Why shouldn’t they be allowed to? Well, because Dr. Peter McCullough, who certainly has the credentials to do it, criticized the people in charge. He mocked CNN for ignoring dozens of clinical trials, making fun of a drug that could’ve helped a lot of people, possibly saved lives. What do you think of that? Well, that’s immoral, of course.”

“But notice what Joe Rogan didn’t do in the face of that information. He didn’t call for CNN to be censored because they spread disinformation. Because he’s not for censorship. You know who’s for censorship? Weak people are for censorship.”
