Summary

Former Ukrainian boxing champion Wladimir Klitschko accused podcaster Joe Rogan of “repeating Russian propaganda” after Rogan criticized U.S. military aid to Ukraine and suggested it could escalate into World War III.

Klitschko defended Ukraine’s resistance against Russia, highlighting the country’s fight for freedom and condemning Rogan’s remarks as aiding Putin’s agenda.

He invited Rogan to discuss their differences on the podcast “like free men.”

Rogan, who recently endorsed Donald Trump, called the war a “proxy war” and criticized Biden’s decision to allow Ukraine to strike Russian soil with U.S.-supplied missiles.

Crazy that he once had Bernie Sanders on his show and sat there agreeing with him on so many things. I think he also had Andrew Yang on it and nodded his head most of the way through it. I wonder what it was that made him turn to the dark side. For Musk, it was his child transitioning, but for Rogan? No idea...

It wasn't just Elon's daughter transitioning, Claire dating Chelsea Manning is something else the man child can't handle.

I've never heard his show but isn't a common critique of him is that he almost never pushes back or questions the guest? He wasn't just agreeing with progressives, he was agreeing with everyone and that eventually turned progressives away from him.

He did push back sometimes and he wasn't always agreeing with people. Letting somebody speak isn't the same as agreeing with them, but there are too many people who mistake one for the other.

Joe was one of the few people who would let people actually voice their opinions - good or bad, in their nigh entirety. His show was one of the few where people like Bernie Sanders and Andrew Yang could talk about their ideas in depth, without being constantly interrupted by some biased TV show host to try and get a sound bite or clip for the next headline.

What was missing was Joe's critical thinking. He let them say a lot and did ask questions, but he, in my opinion, lacks the mental acuity to be able to deeply analyse what came out of his guests. It was also a reason why some people went there. They knew Joe was going to ask questions, but he was high quite often and the questions weren't going to be as pointed or sharp as say Sam Harris.

And of course, Joe likes to talk about apes.
