The famously forthcoming MMA commentator stayed true-to-form and pulled no punches in his answer.<\/p>\n<p>Calling such conversations \u201cincredibly disingenuous,\u201d Rogan, the world\u2019s highest-paid podcaster thanks to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/spotify-strikes-exclusive-podcast-deal-with-joe-rogan-11589913814\">$100 million deal<\/a> with Spotify, described the social discussions going on in Hollywood. \u201cIt all comes down to young, hungry actors saying whatever they believe casting directors are going to want to hear to land the job,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Expanding on that point, Rogan explained that people generally come to Hollywood to pursue an acting dream. Then, when they hear politics being discussed in a left-wing manner, they parrot what casting directors are saying. \u201cYou see people bend to whichever way the wind is blowing. It\u2019s like, \u2018What do I have to say?\u2019 And you see the disingenuousness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While acknowledging that a few celebrities do have deeply held political convictions, Rogan contended that most don\u2019t. \u201cThey don\u2019t have opinions,\u201d he argued. \u201cWhat they have is a conglomeration of opinions that they\u2019ve adopted because they think it will be beneficial for their career.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rogan argued that Los Angeles is so intimately connected with the entertainment business, the city and the industry cannot be ideologically separated. \u201cI would go on these auditions,\u201d the star of the 1990s sitcom \u201cNews Radio,\u201d said, \u201cand I would see these poor f**** that were lost in this world of being chosen for things. And that\u2019s what shapes the entire mindset of that part of the country. The entire mindset of that part of the country is doing things that you think other people will like. They are insecure people that go to a place where they\u2019re going to get rejected a lot. It\u2019s the worst thing ever for their mental health.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rogan then rejected the idea that the \u201chellscape\u201d of a business where everyone is liberal could be organically possible:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"19\">\n<p>How is that possible? How is it possible when the country is basically divided 50-50? So is it that you\u2019re telling me that everyone who is creative [is left-wing]? Is it everyone who is expressive? Is it everyone who is theatrical? Is that possible? It\u2019s not possible. Because it\u2019s not really opinions. They\u2019re willing to not have any opinions on anything else other than feeding narcissism, feeding this career that seems insurmountable and impossible to achieve.<\/p>\n<p>You can feel the angst pulsating off their bodies. And you run into that more often than you don\u2019t. Because most people are bitter, and most people are weirded out, and they adopt these liberal sensibilities and ideologies and they don\u2019t necessarily do it because they thought these things through. I mean occasionally you\u2019ve got your Mark Ruffalo type characters who are really all in, but most of them are not. Most of them are just nonsense people and those nonsense people will just get on stage and they\u2019ll say at the Academy Awards or the Grammys,\u2019This is what we have to do. We have to make sure that we support this, and that.\u2019 It\u2019s f***ing horse s***.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Rogan then mocked the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/watch-hollywood-actors-tell-americans-i-take-responsibility-are-roundly-mocked\">video<\/a> that a host of celebrities made after George Floyd\u2019s death where they said they would no longer stand for racism. He wondered, \u201cHow much racism were you standing for before?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
