'Like hot gas in your face': Joe Rogan calls out Gavin Newsom, Seth MacFarlane for 'gaslighting' over Biden's economy



Comedian Joe Rogan called out Governor of California Gavin Newsom, as well as "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane, for provoking the American public by claiming President Biden's old age is actually an advantage.

During an episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience" with TV personality Chris Williamson, Rogan remarked that surrogates and supporters of the Biden administration are "constantly trying to figure out a way to manipulate the reality of the world" to promote their preferred political policy.

"I mean we’ve seen some wild gaslighting the past couple weeks, talking about the economy. There’s so much gaslighting!" Rogan continued. "Gavin Newsom talking about how great Biden was, and the Democrats' record, and [Biden is] one of the greatest presidents, ever, full stop."

"It’s like hot gas in your face. It’s burning your lungs. ... Yeah, his age really is a superpower," Rogan sarcastically added.

Newsom recently told ABC's "This Week" that the economy is "booming," while inflation is "cooling," adding that Biden's economic strategies have been "things Republicans dreamed of but never delivered."

Rogan then mocked MacFarlane for his response to an article titled "Age matters. Which is why Biden's age is his superpower."

"This is something that's been rattling around in my brain for some time," MacFarlane wrote on X. He added that the article articulated his thoughts "better than [he] ever could."

Rogan called MacFarlane's comments "crazy."

"You’re talking about a guy who can’t speak. We all know you’re doing this; you’re gaslighting. And you’re doing it because you think that this is the good side and the bad side’s bad, and you do whatever you can to change the way people view things," he continued.

This is hands down the funniest joke @SethMacFarlane has ever written

MacFarlane had recently appeared on "Real Time with Bill Maher" and insisted that Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans were far worse for the country than ideas like men competing against women in sports.

"That's why people vote for Trump," Maher told MacFarlane. "Because there's stuff like that on the left that people just go 'I know Trump's horrible but separating sports by sex makes perfect sense, and if you think it doesn't, you can't lead the country."

MacFarlane replied that the logic was akin to "cutting off your nose to spite your face."

"I'm just, I'm just giving you the answer to the question you're asking all night long," Maher chimed back. "Why do they vote for Donald Trump? It's not always because they like him. It's because stuff like that is kookier to people."

"It's kookier than trashing the Capitol?! What the f**k?!" a baffled MacFarlane replied.

Entrepreneur Patrick Bet-David had a reaction similar to Rogan's when he questioned Maher about Gavin Newsom's track record.

Maher explained that he enjoyed that Newsom has been a "winner" in his political dealings, but when Bet-David asked him for specific examples, the comedian was unable to express any details on what Newsom had done aside from "Oh, God, I don't know, he made it rain, okay, dude? It wasn't raining; now it's raining, so he's got my vote."

'You’re f***ing with definitions': Joe Rogan RIPS Biden admin for 'gaslighting' about the economy



On “The Joe Rogan Experience,” popular Spotify podcaster Joe Rogan ripped into the Biden administration for refusing to admit that the economy is in a recession.

Rogan's guest and fellow podcaster Chris Williamson brought up how the Biden administration is saying that the economy is not in a recession after two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth, which until "very, very, very recently" was the "accepted definition" of a recession.

\u201c"Hey, you\u2019re f**king with definitions in order to pretend that you\u2019re doing a good job."\n\n@joerogan and @ChrisWillx roast the Biden Admin for trying to change the definition of a recession. \nhttps://t.co/3sRfpI09f1\u201d

“Well, that’s gaslighting,” Rogan responded.

“People would think that it’s trivial because they are talking about this economic downturn, but it’s not trivial because we’ve always used that term ‘recession'. And we’ve always used that term to define whether or not the economic policies that are currently in place, and whether or not the management and the government, has done a good job of making sure that the economy stays in a good place. They definitely haven’t done that. So in order to escape that ... they’re literally changing the definition, which is terrible," he added.

Rogan asserted that the administration's gaslighting “should be pushed back against in a big way. It should be something that people get angry about, like, ‘Hey, you’re f***ing with definitions in order to pretend that you’re doing a good job.''"

Williamson agreed, adding "You don't change reality by changing what those words actually mean. But if you can’t control the economy, you might as well just control the language."

“What a bunch of weasels," Rogan replied.
