Joe Rogan on Jimmy Kimmel's suspension: “I definitely don't think that the government should be involved, ever, in dictating what a comedian can or cannot say in a monologue. That's fucking crazy.”
Rogan: “The problem is the companies, if they're being pressured by the government, so if that's real, and if people on the right are like, yeah, go get them. Oh my god. You're crazy. You're crazy for supporting this, because this will be used on you.”

JOE ROGAN (HOST): Speaking of adapting, like this, this whole Jimmy Kimmel situation that is happening right now.
...
ROGAN: And so these, what, what you're dealing with even — first of all, I definitely don't think that the government should be involved, ever, in dictating what a comedian can or cannot say in a monologue. That's fucking crazy.
ANDREW SANTINO (GUEST): It's crazy.
ROGAN: Now, if — the problem is the companies, if they're being pressured by the government, so if that's real, and if people on the right are like, yeah, go get them. Oh my god. You're crazy. You're crazy for supporting this, because this will be used on you.
You don't think that the fucking globalist lizard people who run the world are sitting here going, great. What do we got? Three years? We'll wait this out. We'll wait this out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, let them say the government should be involved in, in censoring people's speech. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let 'em support that. Let these fucking dumbasses, because Jimmy Kimmel's a leftist, let these dumbasses think it's a good idea and we should celebrate that.
SANTINO: That's the most toxic shit I keep seeing online, when people are like, yeah, shut them down.
