re: Bernie Sanders is on Joe Rogan Experience today

yet people rarely ask current and past presidents how we are going to pay for tax cuts for Billionaires, or trillions of dollars spent on unnecessary wars, or tax subsidies for companies like Exxon that make billions of dollars in profit every quarter.. i wouldnt have a problem with people asking Bernie about his plans to pay for things if, in the same breath, they expressed concern over how to pay for the other things I mentioned.

You leaving out how we afforded to give $1.4 billion to Iran answers a lot of questions

I like the $400 billion you posted before you edited it.. that would have been newsworthy.

$1.4 billion is literally couch change for the federal govt.. but yes there needs to be accountability from each administration, this isn’t a right/left thing.

The left/right both want big, bloated government that spend out of control at this point. There is just disagreement over what the money is spent on.

Why then, on the rare occasions when he does go hard on a guest it is typically a right leaning guest. Just ask Candace Owens about her treatment by Joe. I listen to a lot of Rogan podcast and I've never heard him go hard on a lefty.

---

I heard the Candace Owens podcast I didn't think he went hard on her. He has disagreements but he wasn't hard on her. He goes off on SJW and all of their stupidty and has had Shapiro, Ngo, and Jordan Petterson on the show and agrees with most of their views.

Rogan admits he is a leftist? Does he? He likes guns and hunting, and he doesn't have much use for SJWs.

Joe has said on his podcast he's liberal on all issues except guns.

He went pretty hard on Adam Connover recently too. Rip him up pretty good for being uninformed and dangerously leftist. I think that when Joe has somebody like Connover or Candace on, he challenges them a little bit more. He probably feels those kinds of guests are more on his level. But he's not going to challenge somebody like Sanders who is more established.

I don’t necessarily think it is about who is established. I think Joe does a great job of letting “experts” have their time to explain and/or discuss their area of expertise. It is why he comes off extremely well read and well rounded. He listens and decimates various topic and points of view.

What he does not do well is tolerate fools or people who have opinions without substance; especially when they have a platform, like Candace Owens. He grilled her because she made a bold statement and couldn’t explain why or how she came to the ideology. Candace made that segment uncomfortable.

So I would imagine he is going to give Sanders a lot of room to open up about his policies and/or ideals. He might ask him some “tougher” questions, but I doubt he outright challenges Bernie of most of his talking points. Joe isn’t as well versed as Bernie on those topics, but he will probably ask questions for clarity.

I would love for him to flat out ask Bernie if he thought the DNC cheated him out of the primaries. He won’t, but I would love to hear Bernie’s response.

I have zero interest in hearing what Bernie Sanders has to say. He has already proven himself to be a loon with zero answers for what plagues our country today.
