Joe Rogan Instantly Fact-Checked On His Podcast After Claiming Biden Prerecorded State Of The Union

The right-wing podcast host fell victim to a conspiracy theory that Biden's State of the Union speech was prerecorded—and was swiftly called out for the absurdity of what that would mean.

Podcaster Joe Rogan has once again done what he does best—amplified the dumbest conspiratorial right-wing rhetoric possible on his insanely popular podcast.

In a recent episode, Rogan discussed one of the right's latest boneheaded theories—that President Joe Biden prerecorded his State of the Union speech.


Thankfully, the theory is so absurd Rogan ended up essentially fact-checking himself and recanting it in real time. But not before amplifying the ridiculous theory as he spoke with his guest, author Michael Malice—who, to his credit, flatly refused to believe Rogan's claims

Rogan told Malice:

"[President Biden's] State of the Union [address] was not live."

When Malice protested that it was, Rogan continued:

"No. No did you see that they found out it wasn't?"

Who's "they"? Who knows. But the conversation only got sillier from there.

"Someone zoomed in on Biden's watch and it was the wrong time...It could be that he's blind and he can't see what f**king time his watch is."

If that sounds idiotic to you, you're not alone. Malice sounded mystified, and asked one of the obvious questions that follow from this theory: "Were all the networks in on it?"

Rogan was unfazed, remarking:

"I don't know what they knew. How do you know what they know? You just get the feed."

Malice then brought up the next logical question that follows, and one that was on the lips of many other people online: Was every Republican in the room supposedly in on this diabolical scam?

Why on Earth would the Republicans try to help the man they most hate on the face of the Earth carry off his subterfuge? Who knows. As Malice told Rogan:

"I don't think all the Republicans would agree to it. They were all there. You've got Mike Johnson behind [Biden], you've got all the audience crossing their hands where they don't like what he was saying...It's got to be live."

This finally stymied Rogan, and when his producer couldn't find a single thing online to verify the theory, Rogan conceded that it was probably "troll sh*t" and that "they got me."

On social media, people could not believe that the world's most popular podcaster was this gullible and media illiterate.




At this point the safest bet is to assume everything Rogan says is nonsense "they" fed to him, and just keep it pushin'.

RFK Jr. Admits That Banning Fluoridated Water Will Cause 'More Cavities'—But He's OK With That

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was criticized after admitting in a Fox News interview with Harris Faulkner that his proposed fluoridated water ban would likely lead people to have more cavities—but defended the move nonetheless.

While fluoride is not federally mandated in drinking water, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had long recommended its inclusion. Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening enamel, and numerous studies have shown that fluoridated water reduces tooth decay in both children and adults.

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was widely mocked after he tried to give New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a scary nickname in the vein of Conan the Destroyer—only for it to backfire considerably.

Watters is the latest member of the GOP to lash out at Mamdani, a democratic socialist who handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week.

MAGA Rep Slammed After Calling For Mamdani To Be Stripped Of His Citizenship And Deported Over Rap Lyric

Tennessee Republican Andy Ogles was called out after he shared a letter he sent to Attorney General Pam Bondi urging her to denaturalize and deport New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani over a lyric in a rap song Mamdani released in 2017.

Mamdani ran a campaign centered around economic populism, arguing that the city, a global financial center, has grown unaffordable for everyday residents, citing soaring rents and grocery prices, and outlining policies aimed at reducing the cost of living.
