That's why people like our show because they know that we are checked by ABC News. But checked by everybody. Yeah.
I mean, if if we're wrong, we have, you know, the legal note here. Um, human legal. But in my we went from Walter Konhite.
Mhm. Basically, to this guy Joe Rogan who believes in dragons. He I checked it.
He believes he believes in dragons. Did you triple that? Yes, I did.
And he also thinks that they dragons like I guess like dinosaury type type of animals roam the earth when people did. You're worried about losing your job and you're worried about podcast taking over and who's the source of news and we said Donald Trump was Hitler but half the country disagreed with us and he won and this is okay and Joe Rogan believes in dragons. Those ladies try to deplatform me all the time.
They should be deplatformed. I think the best way to counter bad opinions is with good. When Joe Rogan finally gets tired of the view, what will happen?
Prepare yourself because he just filed a $150 million slander lawsuit against them. This scenario is even more dramatic than an angry cat-thosted soap opera during the day. It's even worse than Megan McCain's recent exit.
And you won't believe what drove Rogan to file a lawsuit. This legal battle is going to go totally out of control, so pay close attention. I I had to read the thing about the view because I just thought it was funny.
The only reason I read that about me dragon was trying to say that I believe in dragons. Wait, what is this? I just heard I checked it.
I checked it. And then the lady goes, "Did you double check this? " She goes, "I checked it.
He believes in dragons. " They live alongside people. Wait, it was from a wildlife biologist who came on my podcast.
This is the most important part. This was right after she was saying, "We are run by ABC News. you should trust us, not Joe Rogan who believes in dragons.
So she she by saying we should trust them because they're double checked by ABC News and then making the stupidest statement like you're you you didn't listen to what I said, you didn't listen to what the wildlife b and that's only a part the nation's most well-known group of daytime critics. The View has finally had enough of Joe Rogan, the living embodiment of Don't Poke the Bear, and he's retaliating in the most obnoxious and financially destructive way possible. With $150 million defamation lawsuit, Joe, who once patiently debated a neuroscientist about DMT for 3 hours, looks at your program and says, "Yeah, you all are too wild for me.
You know it's serious. " The I think the problem with that show is that show has this very specific ideological bubble in which they operate in, you know, and they always bring on a token conservative woman and they yell over her and silence her and you know they did that with Megan McCain and they did that with the what is that other blonde woman from Survivor? Do you remember her Jamie?
She was always yelling. I mean it's just it's it's a bizarre show. I think the way you said before you started, I think the way you described it is brilliant and the way we should all look at it.
Of course, you're going to see race. The idea of being colorblind is ridiculous. But treat everybody that they're just human beings.
Everybody's just individual. Like most catastrophes, it started on the world famous couch of mayhem. That is the view.
It seems like they decided it was time to add Joe Rogan to their list of people they don't understand but definitely despise just a few minutes into their daily ritual of loudly yelling into the void. It wasn't enough to just dislike him as gravely as a child blaming a dog for a shattered lamp. They felt compelled to declare that Rogan posed a threat to society.
The host's belief that reading a Wikipedia page is equivalent to graduating from law school speaks of volumes about their credibility as analysts. country, we have to stick with it. You can't just pick and choose when you want to use the First Amendment.
I mean, I agree that Joe Rogan is a horror. A horror. I mean, I'm not saying that Joe Rogan should be removed from Spotify.
He's got 11 million listeners. He's got a hundred million, you know, contract as of 2020, but I do think as as the the podcast um platform, you have to have some sort of guidelines. How about a disclaimer on on on his podcast that says, you know, this is misinformation.
To a lot of people, they would remove Fox TV also. You can try to get Fox off your cable vision if you want. Well, there should be disclaimers, you know, or disclaimers, but you can't just cancel the show because we have the first I think people are hungry to have open conversations, disagreements, debates, and they don't want to be told how to feel about it.
They want those people to have their conversation and they want it to be up to them. Just like when they watch TV and media and news, they want to make their own decisions. Well, that's what we do on this show.
Of course, this isn't the views first experience with reckless nonsense. This is the same show where historical accuracy once lost a fight to the energy of a chaotic brunch. Remember when Whoopi Goldberg tried to explain the Holocaust and ended up creating a version so historically inaccurate it probably made middle school textbooks cry?
or when Joy Bahar boldly claimed Mike Pence was mentally ill for praying, then spent the following week acting like it was just a funny mixup. And let's not forget Sunny Holen, who now and then delivers conspiracy theories with the same confidence as someone guessing their own Wi-Fi password. You're worried about losing your job and you're worried about podcast taking over and who's the source of news and we said Donald Trump was Hitler, but half the country disagreed with us and he won and this and Joe Rug believes in dragons.
Do you see what Whoopy Goldberg said? What' you say? Whoopy Goldberg said that Biden could arrest all the Republicans and put them in jail.
You just need to see how unhinged this kind of thinking is. Well, you know what Joe Biden could do? Joe Biden, you have to see it cuz it's it's so crazy.
So, when The View decided to go after Rogan, it wasn't exactly a shock. It's what they do like clockwork. You could practically set your watch to how often they managed to pack maximum outrage and minimal facts into a single segment.
Become something of an art form. Picasso had cubism and the view has loud uninformed shouting. But here's the plot twist no one expected.
Joe Rogan didn't just ignore it. This time he said, "Let's take this to court. " And suddenly the hosts of The View found themselves in a game they were completely unprepared for.
The game of legal consequences. The reason? It turns out that when you broadcast wild, damaging claims to millions of viewers, you might actually have to back them up.
Who knew? Apparently not Whoopi, who probably thought defamation was a new kind of brunch cocktail. So, what exactly the views say that push things into lawsuit territory?
According to Rogan's legal filing, they went far beyond criticism, accusing him of spreading misinformation so dangerous it could physically harm people. Not just, I don't like his jokes, dangerous. Not just I disagree with his podcast guests.
Dangerous. Well, it is the show that people love to hate. Yes, that's true.
They they get so much hate watching and hate hate watching viral clips of them saying ridiculous things. I mean, it is it is a a rabiesinfested hen house and and well, their audience is not really their audience. Their audience is a a group of people they bring in to watch television shows.
Uh-huh. You know, I don't know if you've ever seen uh audiences before for TV shows, but there a lot of them are paid. They're paid to be there.
So, cuz they have to guarantee that there's going to be people there. So, there's services that you hire. And when a show gets really really popular, um you know, like Letterman or something like that, obviously, it has its own fan base.
Those people will try to get tickets before anybody else does. And in that case, they probably don't need to use a service anymore. They just get actual fans.
But arguably like the fans, the real fans of The View that are like, "Oh, these ladies are on point. " Most of those people. No, they went fullblown with it, calling him a walking public health hazard.
Dangerous. The irony, these are the same people who once confidently claimed that CO vaccines could cure COVID with just one shot and a positive attitude. Medical insight coming from the same hosts who needed three commercial breaks just to pronounce the word immunology.
And let's be clear, Joe Rogan is no stranger to controversy. He's hosted doctors, comedians, UFO believers, and probably even a couple of sentient house plants on his show. He enjoys diving into controversial topics and messy conversations.
But even Joe knows there's a huge difference between exploring ideas and being accused of causing mass death through a podcast. That's why the lawsuit happened, the 150 million lawsuit, or as Joy Bahar might call it, slightly less than her yearly hair dye budget. And no, it's not just about the money, though.
Let's be real. 150 million is a pretty sweet bonus. It's about calling out a daytime TV machine that seems to believe yelling the word dangerous louder than anyone else is a replacement for actual facts.
Spoiler alert, it's not. Meanwhile, the panic behind the scenes at the view could probably be seen from space. One minute they were happily clinking mimosas over another takedown, and the next they were frantically searching how to retract statements without looking guilty.
I I mean in in fairness though I mean the view has to be uh you know if you average out the view hosts among the dumbest people on television and so it's like they say the thing that people are thinking but they say it very directly so they expose whatever truth but I don't think some of them are dumb. You don't think so? No.
I don't think Sunny hopes you think it's deliberate. I think she's ideologically driven and they have blinds blinders on for sure. Uh I don't think Sunny's dumb.
Um, but Whoopi is certainly not the brightest person. And what she just said just doesn't make any sense. It's just like so silly to say.
It's It's not a wellthoughtout. It's like if you had an idea for a premise and you like it was totally baked and halfbaked and you went on stage with it. And emergency meetings were called, lawyers were brought in, and a very confused intern was assigned the impossible task of explaining burden of proof to the panel without getting immediately cut off.
Picture the chaos. Whoopi pretending she's above it all. Joy Bahar insisting this is just another attack on free speech.
Sunonny Hoston suggesting they counter sue for emotional distress. And Sarah Haynes quietly googling how to fake her own death to escape the lawsuit. A true masterclass in crisis management.
But here's the reality. This isn't a free speech issue. Joe Rogan isn't suing because they disagreed with him.
He's suing because they made serious defamatory claims and presented them as facts, directly damaging his reputation. There's a big difference between saying I don't like Joe Rogan and saying Joe Rogan is responsible for people dying, especially when you have zero proof. It's the line between having an opinion and making things up on national television.
And the view, bless them, apparently missed that memo, probably because they were too busy arguing over who gets the final word during a segment about toaster ovens. It's a very strange show, but uh it's fun to watch. It's just fun to watch them.
It's good entertainment. Yeah, undoubtedly. Well, they're just, you know, it's interesting because I think Sunny is very intelligent, but she's ideologically captured, right?
You know, that's what But I think the other ones, there's a couple of the other ones I want don't have to name any names are just very dull-minded. But I think Sunny's not one of them. I think she's smart but captured.
Sure. I think I think she came into it with an agenda. And the internet Oh, the internet had an absolute field day.
Within minutes of the news breaking, memes were everywhere across social media. Joe Rogan was photoshopped as a legal terminator while the view hosts were portrayed as terrified cats in a courtroom. One viral post simply read, "Breaking Joy Bahar discovers lawsuits aren't like talk show arguments.
You can't just talk louder and win. Even Rogan's usual critics struggled to defend the view's behavior this time. Still, The View somehow has a few loyal defenders left.
The kind of people who think doing your own research means asking Aunt Karen on Facebook what she feels is true. " Most of their arguments boil down to Joe Rogan is mean and The View is trying their best, which might sound sweet if you ignore the minor issue that trying your best doesn't make defamation okay. And speaking of trying your best, let's talk about The View's legal strategy, if one even exists.
Right now, it mostly seems to involve loudly pretending the whole thing is just a big misunderstanding. You know, the classic playground excuse, "I didn't mean to say he was a murderer. I just said it in front of millions of people and smiled afterward.
" cuz you're taking Joey Joey Behar, whatever her name is, as like a as like a new source. No, no, no, no, no, no. This is the most important part of you.
I don't know. Hey, this is the most important part. This is right after she was saying we are run by ABC News.
You should trust us, not Joe Rogan who believes in dragons. So she she by saying we should trust them because they're double checked by ABC News and then making the stupidest statement like you're you you didn't listen to what I said. You didn't listen to what the wildlife b and that's only a part of what he said.
The other part of what he said was there was something before that where he was explain. Meanwhile, Joe Rogan's legal team is gearing up like seasoned warriors armed with evidence, transcripts, and expert witnesses lined up like a wellorganized army ready for battle. The view, in contrast, is likely still wondering if throwing a tantrum counts as a valid courtroom objection.
But the bigger picture here goes beyond just one lawsuit. This is a line in the sand. It's a clear message that reckless agenda-driven media takedowns may finally come with real consequences.
You can't accuse someone of serious wrongdoing and then hide behind it was just my opinion. Especially when you present that opinion as undisputed fact to millions of viewers. For too long, shows like The View have operated under the illusion that being louder automatically makes you right.
But this lawsuit could mark the moment that illusion starts to crack. The moment when daytime television is forced to realize that words carry weight and shouting wild claims into a camera might actually come back to haunt you, particularly when the person you're shouting about is built like a tank and has top tier lawyers on speed dial. And of course, all of this could lead to some hilariously bizarre headlines in the near future.
The show that set women back is The View. You want to talk about that show? If the CIA is engineering uh, you know, Antifa and the Capitol Riot, some crazy misogynist engineered The View cuz there's nothing worse than The View in terms of like there are so many brilliant women out there.
None of them are on the View. None of them have gone near the set of The View. I mean, they have brought in the lowest tier uh of of of the what is it?
a Y chromosome. No, DX. They brought in the lowest of the double X's.
And then comes the ultimate cosmic justice. The view being forced to deliver a public onair apology. Watching Whoopi Goldberg grimace her way through a court-ordered statement would be more entertaining than anything the show has produced in the past 10 years.
Seeing Joy Bahar try to say, "I was wrong. " without bursting into a puff of sarcastic smoke would be worth the price of admission all by itself. Joe Rogan's $150 million lawsuit isn't just about the money.
It's a reckoning. It's a clear reminder that if you spend your airtime casually tearing down people's reputations for the sake of ratings, eventually someone's going to challenge you. And when that someone is Joe Rogan, you'll wish you had stuck to arguing about Starbucks cups and celebrity divorces.
Cuz at the end of the day, a talk show can run on hot takes and guesswork only for so long. But in a courtroom, you need facts. You need proof.
And you need to do something the view hosts have never been particularly known for. You need to think before you speak. Judging by the panic currently radiating from ABC headquarters like a full-blown meltdown.
It looks like they're finally learning that lesson the hard way. Is that representative of a big constituency? I think probably yes.
Well, a lot of MSNBC viewers are probably also thinking I don't even think the MSNBC viewers are a little bit more sophisticated than that. This is This is like lowinformation blue no matter who like older housewives who are mad at the world. That's who that's the appeal that Whoopy Goldberg has.
Does Whoopy have children? No idea. It's interesting too like really uh politically motivated older women who don't have children.
Yeah, it's they're they're very And honestly, this might end up being the best thing that's ever happened to daytime TV. Just when you thought the story couldn't get any juicier, here comes the bigger picture. And it's a masterpiece.
Joe Rogan isn't suing because a Botoxed panel of shrieking parrots didn't like him. He's not throwing a fit because his feelings were hurt like a third grader losing at Freeze Tag. No, Rogan is bringing down the legal hammer because The View, self-proclaimed champions of truth and facts, decided to spread lies so obvious they could have been written on glittery construction paper and pinned to a preschool bulletin board isn't about thin-kinned celebrities battling so-called mean TV hosts.
It's about freedom of speech versus outright defamation. It's about whether you can sit on national television, confidently spew madeup nonsense with the energy of a drunk uncle at Thanksgiving, and then carry on like you didn't just light a dumpster fire live on air. Because freedom of speech protects opinions, even the really bad ones.
But it doesn't give you a magical VIP pass to spread lies disguised as facts just because you're sitting behind a polished desk wearing a Power Blazer from 1997. And oh, the irony. The rich, satisfying irony.
The very same people who constantly clutch their pearls and cry misinformation and disinformation like seagulls at a beach barbecue are now being sued for, you guessed it, misinformation. Now, let's talk about what comes next. Because if Joe Rogan wins, and let's be honest, the odds are starting to look like a kindergarten dodgeball game where one kid showed up with a cannon, it could set a powerful precedent.
It would mean you can't just throw lies at someone from a multi-million dollar platform and then hide behind your coffee mug and giggling co-hosts when the lawsuits arrive. It could mark the beginning of a muchneeded shift. An era where loud, catastrophically wrong media personalities are actually held accountable.
Imagine that. Talk show host being required to use a fact checker. And let's be honest, The View fully deserves every bit of the backlash coming its way.
