We’re tracking the conservative culture clash with woke Hollywood hypocrites to keep you up to date on who’s winning and who we hate.
Here’s what happened today:
Campaign Prediction
Controversial podcaster Joe Rogan thinks former President Donald Trump will handily beat the Biden Harris ticket in 2024 if he decides to run for office.
On a recent episode featuring wrongfully convicted murderer Amanda Knox, she asked Rogan if he thought Trump was up for another presidential campaign in 2024.
“Oh yeah, he’s gonna 100% try. He’s probably gonna win,” he replied, before attacking the current president. “How is Joe Biden gonna win? How is it possible he’s gonna beat anybody? After you’ve seen him speak? After you’ve seen the decay and the decline? How is it possible?”
He slammed the Democratic Party for picking Biden as their candidate. “They’ve done a terrible job,” Rogan remarked. “The Democrats f***ed up royally by making that guy the president.”
“It’s crazy. It’s crazy that that’s the choice,” Rogan continued. “Like you have Donald Trump or a man who’s got something seriously wrong, right?”
“He’s a guy who’s had multiple aneurysms, had actual brain surgery and is 78 years old and is experiencing some sort of pretty radical cognitive decline and is in some way controlled by the other people in the party whether it is Nancy Pelosi or whoever else,” he pointed out.
He also noted that Biden consistently remarks that he’s not allowed to answer questions from the press. “He keeps saying things like ‘They tell me not to answer questions’ or ‘They tell me not to’ … hey motherf***er, you’re the president!” Rogan concluded.
F**k Them
Fox News host Tucker Carlson had a savage response for the Anti-Defamation League’s (ADL), who called on the network to can him for referring to the White House’s immigration policies as “the Great Replacement” on his Wednesday show.
Carlson appeared on “The Megyn Kelly Show” on Friday to discuss the segment where he accused the Biden administration of using the migrant crisis to attempt to “change the racial mix of the country.”
“Today there’s more blowback on whether you’ve been pushing for The ‘Great Replacement’ theory. You said that this was gonna happen on your show last night, sure enough, the ADL comes after you,” Kelly said to Carlson.
“F*ck them,” Carlson responded. “I didn’t even know that. What liars. The ‘Great Replacement’ theory is in fact not a theory, it’s something that Democrats brag about constantly, up to and including the president,” he said.
Watch the whole segment:
Just Surviving
“Survivor” host Jeff Probst will no longer use his signature catchphrase “Come on in, guys,” when calling contestants in for a challenge because the word “guys” is not inclusive.
“I need your guidance on something. For 20 years I have used one phrase to call people in for challenges,” Probst said on last week’s season 41 premiere.
Come on in, guys: Love saying it, it’s part of the show, but I, too, want to be of the moment,” he continued. “So my question to you to decide for us: In the context of ‘Survivor,’ is a word like ‘guys’ OK, or is it time to retire that word?”
While a self-identified “queer” female contenstant said she didn’t feel excluded by the phrase, a few days later, contestant Ricard Foyé requested he change the wording.
“I don’t agree that we should use the word “guys.” I fully agree we should change it, whether it just be dropping the “guys,” changing it to something else,” he said. “I just don’t really agree with it.”
Probst praised him for speaking up and admitted he too wanted to change the catchphrase, but critics pointed out that the phrase could have been dropped quietly and was clearly scripted into the show.
“[W]hy did @JeffProbst let ONE MAN decide that “come on in guys” was offensive when EVERY WOMAN ON THE SHOW AGREED THAT IT WAS FINE,” one critic said.
“I mean this is just ridiculous. This is being woke just for the sake of being woke. Absolutely pointless. You’re only losing audience with this move. Nobody is now tuning in because you dropped ‘come on in guys.’ Pathetic @JeffProbst,” another commented.
White Saviors
The force is strong… in toxically masculine white savior Jedis, according to the Scientific American. In a new woke article, the journal alleges that “The Jedi are inappropriate mascots for social justice.”
The piece’s authors want “Star Wars” fans employed in STEM fields to stop displaying the franchise’s memorabilia in common work spaces because the Jedi “are a religious order of intergalactic police-monks, prone to (white) saviorism,” and are “emblems for a host of dangerously reactionary values and assumptions.”
The writers accuse the jedi of using “toxically masculine approaches to conflict resolution (violent duels with phallic lightsabers, gaslighting by means of “Jedi mind tricks,” etc.” and claim the space series conflates “alienness” with “nonwhiteness,” while relying on racist stereotypes when depicting non-human species in the films.
The article encourages readers who are fans of the franchise to question why they prioritize “the cultural dreamscape of the Jedi over the real-world project of social justice,” and to worry less about fighting battles over “Star Wars,” when that time and energy could be better spent fighting for social justice.”
False Positive
“The View” co-hosts Sunny Hostin and Ana Navarro have been cleared to return to set after false positive COVID-19 tests derailed the show’s interview with Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday.
Hostin and Navarro were rushed off of the set while on-air live, leaving Joy Behar to confusedly ask, “There seems to be something happening here that I’m not 100% aware of,” she said. “Can someone please apprise me of the situation?”
Producers eventually revealed that the pair had tested positive for COVID, reportedly without their permission.
“We were very excited to have the vice president come on ‘The View.’ And then all of a sudden it turned into an episode of ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm,'” Navarro told CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Friday. “It was just surreal.”
“We were prepared to ask some tough questions. We were very proud to have the vice president come on ‘The View,’” she claimed, though remaining host Behar and Sara Haines failed to discuss the failed Afghanistan drone strike, the botched submarine deal between the U.S. and France, and vaccine booster shot confusion.
Harris, who was in the building at the time, did an abbreviated interview remotely from a green room. “We were sent backstage. The vice president was in a separate room. We had had no contact with her the entire day,” she continued.
Savaged
Singer Rihanna was accused of cultural appropriation by social media after styling women who were not black in braids during her Savage X Fenty fashion show on Friday. Despite being a brand that caters to bodies of all shapes and sizes, fans were not pleased that non-black models Emily Ratajkowski and Vanessa Hudgens, sported the hairstyle.
“I wish I could write something as funny as Rihanna putting all these white girls in braids for the fenty show,” comedy writer Raina Morris wrote.
Rihanna herself has not commented on the controversy, but she was spotted in New York City rocking a white “Think, While It’s Still Legal” t-shirt.
