Seconds later, she said something demonstrably, embarrassingly false. I had to read the thing about The View cuz I just thought it was funny. Oh, he’s worried that about me. The The The The lady Joy Behar was trying to say that I believe in dragons. Wait, what is this? I just heard about it. >> it. I checked it.
” And then the lady goes, “Did you double-check it?” She goes, “I checked it. He believes in dragons.” He thinks they lived alongside of people. This is the most important part. This is right after she was saying, “We are run by ABC News. You should trust us, not Joe Rogan, who believes in dragons.” >> >> So, she She, by saying we should trust them because they’re double-checked by ABC News, and then making the stupidest statement.
Like, you You didn’t listen to what I said. >> Something that could have been verified or completely debunked in under 5 minutes. The View has spent years constructing its reputation, not on accuracy or genuine journalism, but on misleading narratives, manufactured outrage, and reliably stoking division at every available opportunity.
Joe Rogan, meanwhile, has never once presented himself as a news source. He sits down with experts, scientists, biologists, philosophers, and explores ideas. That is the entirety of what he does. In that specific conversation, Rogan was speaking with a wildlife biologist about something genuinely fascinating.
The documented fact that completely separate civilizations on opposite sides of the world with absolutely zero contact with each other all independently developed nearly identical descriptions of large reptilian creatures. The question being explored was whether those ancient stories could have originated from real encounters with massive prehistoric animals, enormous alligators or similar creatures.
At no point did Joe Rogan declare that dragons exist. At no point did he claim personal belief in mythical creatures. It was a philosophical exploratory conversation, precisely the kind The View would never be capable of producing. Joe Rogan provided the full context himself, something Joy Behar could have looked up in minutes or had ABC fact-check before broadcast.
She did not because the goal was never accuracy. The goal was a label, and conspiracy theorist, misinformation machine, dangerous, and the truth was simply an obstacle to that goal. Watch this. My position is it’s probably crocodiles or some big Komodo dragon or some big lizard that did kill people. >> And so people fought them with swords and and they came back with a story and then the artist drew it.
And these things If you saw one of those at night with and you had a stick, yeah, it’d be like, “I thought it was a pterodactyl.” I thought I pictured Joe Rogan in a unicorn. All throughout these same time periods, there’s been giant lizards. All throughout these same time time periods have been Komodo dragons, have been crocodiles have been here for hundreds of millions of years or whatever they’ve been for, probably been more.
So the idea that that people didn’t encounter giant reptiles is stupid. And then there’s the other thing is like people were really bad at describing things that they’d never seen before. So if you’re a European traveler and you go to the Nile River and you see a crocodile, like, “What is that?” >> a guy.
Yeah, what is that? The entire point of that dragon conversation was never to prove that dragons are real. It was to examine why civilizations across the entire globe, with no knowledge of each other’s existence, all described eerily similar giant flying reptilian creatures in their oldest stories. That is a genuinely interesting intellectual question, but when your ratings are in freefall and cancellation is quietly hovering at the door, apparently the only remaining survival strategy is tearing down your competition using outright fabrications. Absolutely
pathetic. Joe Rogan, to his credit, saw through every bit of it and made certain Joy Behar heard exactly what he thought about it because what is happening here is completely transparent. The View is operating in full panic mode, desperately scrambling to protect careers, paychecks, and a comfortable platform where the hosts can gossip and perform outrage while somehow maintaining the fiction that they represent legitimate news.
Joy Behar shot herself in the foot with that comment. If The View were thriving, one careless, dishonest mistake might be survivable, but when your show is already on life support, one fabricated attack on the most listened to podcast on the planet could very easily be the final self-inflicted wound that finishes everything off.
When you’re worried about losing your job and you’re worried about podcast taking over and who’s the source of news and we said Donald Trump is Hitler, but half the country disagreed with us and he won and this is crap and Joe Rogan believes in dragons. It’s It’s just frantic. I just want to say for the record, I have no hate for Joy Behar.
If I saw her, I’d give her a hug. I don’t care. I’d probably say the same thing about me if I was her. It’s no big deal. I don’t care. But it’s a silly thing to say and it undermines your own personal credibility if you say we’re so good because we’re we’re supported by ABC News and then you say Joe Rogan believes in dragons in the next sentence.
>> And then Joe Rogan comes back and goes, “Oh, guys, I was wrong. They lied and told me the wrong shit.” Speaking of spectacular self-inflicted wounds, let us talk about Kamala Harris. Her campaign was nothing short of a complete and total catastrophe by every measurable standard. After weeks of conspicuous silence following her concession, she resurfaced in a video that left an enormous portion of the country raising eyebrows and asking serious questions.
If you have not seen it, find it. It is equal parts shocking and baffling. And yet, after burning through one and a half billion dollars, finishing the campaign $20 million in debt, and getting decisively swept in the election, the Democratic Party is somehow openly entertaining the idea that she should run again. A Democratic strategist appeared on MSNBC to outline what he believes her political future looks like after that historic defeat.
The reaction from paying attention observers was immediate. If she insists on remaining in politics, the sincere hope of many is that it stays firmly within California’s borders. Let that state manage her particular brand of politics. The rest of the country has already rendered its verdict, and it was delivered clearly, loudly, and without any room for misinterpretation.
What remains truly baffling is the What what else can you report, I should say, about what the Vice President’s planning to do as a second act? Well, you know, first, she has to decide what to do, right? What we know is that over the holidays, both Thanksgiving, when she was in Hawaii, and then, um, wherever she ends up going, spending time with family for Christmas, those are the some of the conversations that they’re going to have, both with family and senior aides and advisers.
Um, the very first step that she has to figure out is, what does it look like to be, um, her while, um, Donald Trump is president again? If we remember, one of the reasons why she became so popular was because of her interactions, um, on committee in committee hearing rooms with, um, Bill Barr or or any other, um, nominee from President Trump.
So, is she going to continue out of office, um, being the tip of the spear of the resistance? Her speech yesterday to supporters, and also her um, her the her concession speech, all kind of had the same theme, which is she’s sticking around, and which that’s exactly what she’s telling friends and allies as she’s calling and thanking them for their support over the last few months. Um, so that’s step one.
