Hilarious. But they wouldn\u2019t arrest you if you shot somebody. Maybe you should just go shoot the homeless people,\u201d Rogan replied \u2014 and the clip\u00a0quickly went viral, generating outrage on social media.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Sickening. Joe Rogan, who\u2019s worth millions, pontificates on the plight of homeless people, then decides the best solution may be just to \u201cshoot the homeless people\u201d. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/mgBGmarzgP\">pic.twitter.com\/mgBGmarzgP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Mike Sington (@MikeSington) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MikeSington\/status\/1549423541052788737?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 19, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Rogan responded to his own comment \u2014 and the outrage that followed \u2014 during a recent appearance on Segura\u2019s podcast, \u201c2 Bears, 1 Cave.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His chief complaint with regard to the backlash was that there was an ever-growing list of things that no one was allowed to joke about.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh, my God. The thing that, you know \u2014 you probably lose track of this all the time because it happens to you like every day,\u201d Segura replied. \u201cBut when I did your podcast last and we talked about homeless people \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rogan began to laugh, and Segura continued, \u201cYou go, \u2018I think we should shoot them.\u2019 And I go, \u2018I like your ideas.\u2019 And then news outlets, they took the, it was end quote. It was like, \u2018He says this, Rogan says this. Tom says, I like your idea. These guys are endorsing violence against homeless.\u2019 And then they go, \u2018And then it happened. A homeless person was killed. And this is what these guys are \u2014 this is what these guys are.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rogan responded by reading a headline about his comments: \u201cUnder fire for joke intended as political jab.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was under fire? I wasn\u2019t even aware I was under fire. That\u2019s what\u2019s hilarious. I didn\u2019t even have any idea. I didn\u2019t pay attention and didn\u2019t affect me at all,\u201d Rogan continued, voicing surprise when he learned that Segura had actually gotten a number of messages about the comments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe should just explain what we actually said. What I actually \u2014 what we were actually saying is that if you shot them, no one would care because they don\u2019t do anything about violence,\u201d Rogan continued. \u201cThat\u2019s what we\u2019re saying. We weren\u2019t saying you should shoot the homeless people. We were saying like, you can\u2019t touch their stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Segura kept the segment going, pivoting to another joke that he said would likely get him into just as much trouble. \u201cThere\u2019s a huge spike in actual violent crime. And to be clear, I was part of the group that paid to have the homeless people that were on Cesar Chavez in \u2014 here in Austin drowned in Lake Travis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImagine someone saying that they thought that we were serious,\u201d Rogan laughed. \u201cIt\u2019s out of context. But all they do is get more people to listen. They don\u2019t understand that they work for you. When they do stuff like that, that\u2019s free advertising.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>LISTEN:<\/p>\n<p><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comedian and popular podcast host Joe Rogan mocked the media for taking him seriously when he cracked a joke over the summer suggesting that it would be acceptable in Los Angeles to \u201cshoot the homeless.\u201d Rogan, who made the comment to fellow comedian Tom Segura during a July episode of \u201cThe Joe Rogan Experience,\u201d was &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1660805,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1660803","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1660803","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1660803"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1660803\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1660805"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1660803"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1660803"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1660803"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
