    I agree, we all (me) could do more.
    I can appreciate what some of his guest contribute from time to time, but to say it's because " he's not perfectly aligned with me" politically is a huge stretch.

    He believes in UBI and I do not.
    He believes in gun control and I do not.
    He believes Barack Obama was the best President in our lifetime and I do not (worst maybe).
    He believes in SOCIALISM and I do not.
    I can go on and on how I (and many other conservatives) don't "align perfectly" with commrad Rogan.
    By your rationale, If a pastor delivered a great service week after week but lived his public life like a drunken sailor on liberty, that killer sermon admonishes all his other bad decisions and the congregation should accept him because of a "slight misalignment" in beliefs.
    If old commie Joe is someone else's cup of tea, so be it................I will respectfully pass on everything he has to say as long as he beats the socialism drum..
    Pretty well stated. I have not meant to promote Rogan like it has come off, it’s just where we could hear these doctors at. Now they are all over, because they were on Rogan, and I hope everyone that can’t stand to listen to Rogan will go listen to them somewhere, like here….

    As has been said, you don't listen to Rogan to hear his opinions, you listen to Rogan to hear what his guest has to say.

    For those that think his ratings must be hurting...
    Say it again for those who may have missed it.

    Rogan knows what sells and it makes him a ****load of money. Try making that kind of money with strictly topics and guests that are of the same mind as he is. Won't even come close. He's a fraud out to make money off the backs of topics and guests that appeal to conservatives.

    Most of his topics and guests appeal to conservatives?
    Most of them are stand up comics. If that’s what appeals to conservatives I don’t fit in anywhere. Which is quite possible.

    My issue has always been...who has 3 hours to passively listen to other people yack?

    I get that this may be a sort of Jordan Peterson "social replacement" for online introverted young people, who don't spend hours "having beers" with their friends like we used to do. But geez...

    To say that obama is the best president we`ve had is to forever cement yourself publicly an an America-hating imbecile.
    Not quite what he said. He said he was the best in terms of articulation and intelligence. While I don't necessarily agree, it is much different than saying he was the best president. I'd say G. Bush was up there with him, Reagan in intelligence but not "articulation" he was a bit more "homespun" IMO.
    Anyone who believe Obama was a great president, and that Michael could be too, needs to put down the pipe now and then
    See above.
    In these days of cell phone totting Karens it is near impossible to set your kids right outside the home and the little shits know it.
    I remember when this all started. Guest speakers at the kids' school would tell the kids what parents were "Allowed" to do and anything outside these limits were to be reported. My kids were quick to let me know about the new rules.
    My response was....."Go ahead and report me"....But when I get bailed out you best be in Montana or farther away that that. Then we started hearing about kids calling LEO on the parents because they were grounded. Telling teachers Mom beat them. Most if not all at my kids' school were false.
    My kids went to a Catholic school. We paid tuition and were boosters for most of the sports etc.
    I trully believe this is when we lost our grip on parenting. Now its X-box/cell phones and Disney plus.
    My sister told her daughter if she ever said something again she was going to smack the words out of her mouth. Or similar. Her daughter said she would call the police for abuse. My sister just looked at her and said if you want to see abuse, I'll show you abuse. IF you can make it to the phone and call you're more than welcome to. That stopped that.

    I suspect there might be more than a few people with strong opinions that have never actually listened to him.

    I don't listen to the episodes with the comics either. I thought Elon Musk and Edward Snowden were two of the most fascinating people I have listened to, but I don't think they would count as conservatives either.

    Oh my. I thought Reagan was not only one of the best President`s of this nations history, but one of the most articulate as well. Just a difference in perception I suppose.

    To the 3 hours question, driving. Taken in bits and pieces most of the time. Also on equipment, listening on my Bluetooth trucker type headset. I won’t even take time to talk on the phone without being able to use my hands, but need the noise cancellation.
    So that’s how it works for me.

    I don’t get all the “love” for everything he says. He’s an unfunny comic, a self-important stoner with serious daddy issues. However he seems to jump into everything with two feet, and he was at the forefront of the modern long form interview podcast, clearly an unfilled need in a public restricted to sound bites. And thus managed to score some interesting guests and *they’re* the ones who are interesting to listen to. i’ve heard some very compelling talk from guests on his show, but, good or bad, those come with the price of listening to whatever comes out of Rogan’s mouth.
    If you watch the video in the "Yeager ALS" thread, there's apparently some "daddy issues" there as well. Which can explain a lot. My informal experience is that a lot of people who live a life relying in many ways on conservative values, but cannot bring themselves to vote Republican, ever, and the closest they can come to abandoning the Dems is beating the Libertarian drum? >> daddy issues. Daddy was a mean abusive person who subscribed to conservative beliefs, and they were scarred for life.

    Some folks think people like Rogan will eventually "get there" on conservatism. In my experience, if daddy issues actually is the explanation (or part of the explanation), don't bet on it.

    Yep, my son tried that with me when he was about twelve (he's 35 now). I forget what he was doing but I informed him if he did it again I would beat his butt. His reply was I'll call the cops if you do. My response was to hand him my flip phone, and told him to go ahead and call but they would never find his body.
    His look was priceless and he still laughs about it today. He's 6'6" and 325lbs and I can still scare the poop out of him when I get angry!

    Reagan was one of the worst. He started the decline in actual conservative values, and promoted the liberalism you see evolving today.

    He started socializing healthcare, which almost no normie conservative understands or realizes because they glue their eyeballs to the TV which just lies endlessly to them.

    He's why a 50 cent piece of metal can't be registered with the ATF, and instead you're forced to spend $20k on that piece of metal.

    He was also involved in trafficking arms to Iran.

    Him and Nixon are also a big part of why China is now taking over the US economy. Granted I doubt Nixon ever imagined things would go this far, Reagan had quite a lot of time to see this coming over the horizon.

    Conservatives need to grow up, in general, and stop behaving like leftists by lionizing these piles of human excrement.

    He also gave the Bushes their entry into national power...

    He might as well be saying that Obama is the best president. Kind of a snobbish swipe when he says, "Obama as president was the best president in our lifetime in terms of like a representative of intelligent, articulate people" Key phrase being "representative of intelligent, articulate people"

    Maybe I'm wrong and maybe he could have stated it better, but that comment suggests to me that all other presidents in our lifetime by virtue of their inarticulate, ignorant mannerisms represented ignorant people who aren't well spoken.

    Getting back to the topic in the OP. Whatever else Rogan does as far as certain guests and topics it's a turnoff to a lot of people who might otherwise tune in periodically when he says what appears to be glowing favorable **** about a Michelle Obama/Kamala Harris ticket. It grates like nails on a chalkboard.
