The Left melts down over comedy yet again. How dare Rogan make jokes.
Joe Rogan’s latest Netflix special, “Joe Rogan: Burn the Boats,” has ignited a significant backlash among liberal audiences. During the special, the 56-year-old podcaster addressed several contentious topics, including transgender issues and COVID-19, defending his controversial views expressed on “The Joe Rogan Experience.”

In his live performance, Rogan criticized media outlets for accusing him of spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories. His remarks on transgender people and COVID-19 vaccines drew particularly sharp criticism from many viewers, who found his comments offensive and unfunny. Daily Beast columnist Wajahat Ali remarked on X that Rogan’s main crime was “he wasn’t funny,” and Project Liberal cofounder Joshua Reed Eakle warned against Rogan’s influence, suggesting his content “rots your brain.”
Rogan’s special touched on the debate around biological men identifying as trans women, a topic recently highlighted by Olympic boxer Imane Khelif’s failed gender eligibility test. Rogan expressed his support for adults making choices that make them happy but also shared his skepticism about current societal norms.
Rogan’s commentary on conspiracy theories, particularly related to the COVID-19 pandemic, was another focal point. He joked about losing faith in previously held beliefs and entertained various conspiracy theories, much to the dismay of critics who accused him of promoting misinformation. Such as how Ivermectin cured Covid, but as we know this is true. Yet the Left calls it a conspiracy theory as they are paid by Big Pharma and to make their money, they need to keep forcing you do get the vaccine.

His humor also extended to making jokes about gay men and gender identity, which critics found distasteful and offensive. The New York Times noted that Rogan leaned into stereotypes that have long been a staple in certain comedic circles, while The Wrap accused him of channeling anger and perpetuating culture war battles. The rest of us just enjoyed some humor that the PC crowd, as usual, doesn’t approve, as they have destroyed comedy with their censorship and dictatorial ways.
