- The Joe Rogan Experience.
- This is coming out next week.
For people listening, today's November 19th.
The Rittenhouse verdict was read today.
And surprisingly, no riots, right?
No riots yet?
- Well, it's early.
A, it's early, and B, it's a bummer.
It's not a good call to make that call,
make that verdict release on Friday afternoon,
'cause now you got a bunch of people
sitting around on the weekend going,
"What are we gonna do?"
- I think, to their credit,
there have been a lot of left-wing people
that have actually read the transcripts
and actually paid attention to the true story
instead of just the media narrative.
And there's a lot of people like Anna Kasparian,
and Glenn Greenwald's been on top of it from the beginning,
but a lot of people have gotten the word out
that the version of the story
that most people are just spouting out,
the headline version without reading
the actual meat of the story itself,
is not accurate at all.
This kid's not a white supremacist
by any stretch of the imagination.
He was kinda playing cop, kinda playing EMT,
and he was going, he was fuckin' 17.
Going there, and he did, apparently, provide aid
and help a bunch of people, and at multiple occasions
was chased and pulled the rifle out,
and when they retreated, he didn't shoot.
It was only when he was attacked,
he was hit with a skateboard, someone pulled a gun on him.
That's when he shot people.
I mean, it was all very reasonable.
Maybe not reasonable that a 17-year-old shows up
with a fuckin' gun to riots, but in his mind,
this is where his family's from,
and apparently he wanted to help.
But their version of it that they were selling
to the media, and the fuckin' president said it,
that he's a white supremacist.
Jen Psaki recently said the president
does not condone vigilantism.
That kid was in no way, shape, or form a vigilante.
He was not a vigilante.
He was armed, but he was protecting himself,
and it turned out that actually he needed it.
They actually chased him down.
Whether they chased him down because he had a gun,
I don't fuckin' know,
but they definitely were fuckin' chasing him.
They definitely hit him with a skateboard.
They definitely knocked him to the ground.
So maybe enough of the actual story got out
where it doesn't seem like a thing to riot for,
because a lot of people also thought he shot black people.
They thought he went down there.
When people found out it was white people,
and then when they found out it was fuckin' pedophiles,
that this guy was a straight up,
one of the guys he shot straight up fuckin' pedophile,
child rapist, just terrible person.
The other guy, rap sheet, big ol' rap sheet.
One guy, a bunch of his fuckin' shit
was exonerated six days before the trial.
Like, what are you doin'?
So maybe all that information got out to the point
where people were like, hey guys,
this is not the hill to die on.
This ain't the one.
- I certainly like your positive attitude about this.
I was actually checking out Twitter
before I rolled in here,
and there are people that are going completely insane right now,
and the narrative that you just put out,
they didn't hear any of it.
They only heard the other narrative,
which is that this guy, you know, there's certain parts of the line here.
This guy had an illegal gun, traveled across state lines,
and shot and murdered two people who were there to protect and support black
lives.
That's what a lot of people are saying right now.
So I would love it if Joe Rogan is right right now,
and that people are going, hey, you know what,
let's get a little bit more nuanced, let's study this.
- Here's the thing, though.
Those people on Twitter, how many of those people are real people?
How many of those fuckin' people aren't trolls?
- Look, a lot of them might be trolls.
- A lot of them are trolls.
- Okay, a lot of them are trolls, but there's also real people in there,
and there's people that get swayed by this stuff,
and when you, you know, look, don't you talk to some people sometimes
that you realize they are watching a different movie than you?
- 100%.
- And it's almost like you're the crazy one.
You're sitting there going, like everything you just rattled off
about Kyle Rittenhouse, there are people that I know,
and probably people that you know too,
that are absolutely think everything you just said
is the most insane, right-wing, alt-right,
freakin' load of white power propaganda
that they've ever heard in their life.
- I have to meet with some tonight.
I think my wife's friends tonight,
when I have to, after I leave here,
I'm gonna have to have drinks with my wife and her friends,
and I have a feeling that I'm gonna have to go,
well, that's not real,
and this is actually, I'm gonna have to show my phone,
a bunch of times, pass it around.
- And they're gonna look at you.
Like, here's what sucks about social media, too,
is the chances of you convincing maybe some
of your wife's friends tonight,
maybe you have an okay chance of maybe a little bit,
depending on how dug in they are,
the chances of someone on social media convincing someone else
that, oh, you know what, I see your point,
thanks for pointing that out to me.
- Almost zero.
- Almost zero.
It's almost zero.
- Has anybody ever fucking said, oh, you're right,
on social media? - No, it never happens.
- Point taken. - Yeah, no one even says that,
no one ever says, you know what, good call.
I actually, I see what you're,
I see where you're coming from.
- Yeah. - No one says that at all.
