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.
Yes, he fell so far. All the way from game show host.
He went from supporting Bernie Sanders to being a fascist bootlicker of the most anti-worker administration ever.
I wouldn’t do what Rogan has done as a response but I don’t blame people for being disillusioned with the way Bernie was treated either. All the bad stuff people say about Trump is true but he wasn’t the one that did everything in his power to prevent a progressive with grassroots support from getting the nomination to run for president. That was all the DNC. They shouldn’t be surprised to see backlash to that kind of treatment. Obviously it would have been much better for everyone if that backlash had occurred when Republicans were running a relatively sane candidate but here we are.
Yea Rogan and a good amount of Trump-supporters don’t care about his policies, he’s just a vessel for them to wreck the system so it can be built anew, without fptp-voting and with laws applied equally. Many of them expect a civil war because they’re revolutionaries but since that word is associated with the radical left they don’t actually use it, they just prep and vote for whatever nutjobs the current system enables to exist, in their minds bringing them closer to eating the rich and “fixing” the system, king or no king.
I think he’s just a pseudo intellectual contrarian and conspiracy theorist, deep down. He longs to be the one wise person in the room, and with an increasingly large audience, he has to grasp at increasingly bizarre ideas to be different.
He was great on Newsradio.
I’d say that he was fine in News Radio, but that was an incredibly one-note character. Seemed harmless compared to Andy Dick.
My, how the turntables.
I wonder what Russian propaganda or piles of cocaine Dave Foley is up to these days.
Man, has Dave Foley done anything really clearly, publically untoward (aside from the child support stuff, which as described in Wikipedia at least makes some sense. It’s been settled since)?
He is one of my Canadian comedy idols - to the point that if I ever saw him in public, I would actively avoid him to not risk destroying that if he is, in actuality, a piece of shit.
Not that I know of, although he does seem almost aggressively nice? Surely he’s hiding something.
Since you mentioned the possibility - I’ve never had an actual Foley encounter, but one time while at a restaurant in TO in the early 2000s we were pretty sure we spotted Dave Foley in full Kathy costume at the next table. I’m sure it wasn’t him, but sometimes we talk about that time “we saw Dave Foley’s mom” at the restaurant down the street.
I’d be sadder to encounter Kevin on a bad day
Wasn’t that character supposed to be a one off, but they liked how dumb Rogan was so they made him part of the show?
It’s wild that he’s become his character from Newsradio, minus the more fun aspects. Quite literally a shell of his former job.
No one told him he could stop acting after the show ended
He Flanderized himself lol
