Check out what Joe Rogan and Aaron Rodgers had to say about the media’s blistering attacks



Joe Rogan and Aaron Rodgers are no strangers to controversy. The fact that these two have dared to share thoughts contrary to those promoted by the radical left have resulted in both men being crucified by the liberal-owned media.

But that hasn’t stopped either of them from fighting the woke mind virus. Dave Rubin is encouraged by Rogan and Rodgers’ willingness to share their red-pilling experiences because it’s people like them who are encouraging others to “wake up.”

A couple of days ago, Rodgers, who the media has painted as a “conspiracy theorist” and a “racist,” was invited on “The Joe Rogan Experience” again to discuss Big Pharma’s iron grip on the narrative.

“They are f***ing controlling the message,” Rodgers said, adding that “the alphabet companies,” such as the CDC and the NIH, “have been lying and misleading the public for so long.”

Rodgers explained that the reason people, including himself and Rogan, get “slaughtered by the media” for speaking out or even questioning the narrative is because it’s Big Pharma “who’s paying [the media].”

“It’s corporate controlled,” agreed Rogan, and “it's not beneficial to the greater good of society.”

Dave remembers how, during the height of the pandemic, “they'd be covering COVID on NBC News, CNN, ABC, etc. and then they'd cut to commercial – ‘Brought to you by Pfizer.”

“Oh really? So you're taking money from the very people who you are supposed to be objectively talking about and criticizing where criticism is due?” he scoffs.

CNN specifically went to great lengths to villainize Rogan for his position on COVID. Dave plays an old clip from CNN of Rogan explaining how he used “ivermectin” and other tried-and-true medications to treat COVID next to the original clip Rogan posted himself.

In CNN’s version, Rogan’s face is a sickly shade of greenish-gray, whereas in the original clip, his coloring is completely normal.

“At the exact same time as all of this was unfolding, suddenly for two weeks the entire mainstream media was calling Joe Rogan racist because they unearthed videos of him saying the n-word even though he was not saying it in a racist way; he was saying it to mock the people who actually are racist,” Dave recounts, clearly showing the media’s obvious motivation to de-platform and defame Rogan for being a nonconformist.

On the subject of motivation, Rodgers had something to say about what fuels companies like CNN and people like Jimmy Kimmel, who also blasted Rogan on his show for taking “horse goo” instead of getting vaccinated.

“I lost friends, allies in the media [and] millions of dollars in sponsorship because I talked about what worked for me, my own beliefs, and my own health reasons [behind] why I didn't get vaccinated,” Rodgers explained.

“They vilified all early treatments,” including widely used ivermectin — a Nobel Prize-winning drug — because if they hadn’t, they wouldn’t have gotten “the [user acquisition].”

“The point of all this,” says Dave, “is that when you stand up, there is going to be a cost.”

Luckily, “the truth does work over time.”

Novak Djokovic's response to heckler's nasty attack at Australian Open is PERFECTION



Serbian superstar tennis player Novak Djokovic is no stranger to criticism. During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, he was severely ridiculed and banned from competing in several of the world’s biggest tournaments for refusing to take the vaccine.

Back in 2022, he told a BBC reporter in what’s now a famous interview that being barred from competing was “the price [he was] willing to pay” to maintain autonomy over his body.

“The principles of decision-making on my body are more important than any title,” he said confidently, despite the interviewer’s apparent disapproval.

Today, Djokovic is revered by many as an anti-vax hero.

However, there are some out there who believe in the infallibility of the vaccine and continue to condemn the athlete’s decision. This was evident during a match that took place over the weekend during the Australian Open.

Dave Rubin plays a clip of Djokovic’s response to a heckler in the crowd who brazenly shouted, “Get vaccinated!”

Without reacting, Djokovic scored what is called an ace — a serve that is hit so perfectly the opponent cannot even come close to returning it.

“That's what it's all about — standing up for what you believe and doing what you think is right,” says Dave.

To see Djokovic’s epic shot for yourself, check out the clip below.

The sponsor for THIS Novak Djokovic US Open highlight will first make you SICK and then make you LAUGH



The US Open Tennis Championship finals just happened over the weekend. Serbian superstar Novak Djokovic won the tournament again for a fourth time, making him “the greatest tennis player in the history of the sport” in the eyes of many.

And we’re thrilled for him.

What we’re not thrilled about, however, is who advertised and sponsored the “shot of the day” segment for the tournament.

Can you think of a megacorporation that might sponsor the shot of the day?

If you guessed Moderna, then give yourself a pat on the back.

“Shot of the day — the gall of these people,” says Dave Rubin, who then plays a clip from the tournament.

“The shot of the day, brought to you by Moderna,” drones a voice over a clip of Djokovic’s final stroke to win the match.

“They’re still doing it, guys,” says Dave in disgust.

You may be wondering where the funny part comes in.

Well, here it is:

Ironically, Novak Djokovic has long resisted the vaccine, even when it meant lost opportunities and relentless criticism.

Dave plays a clip of an interview Djokovic did with the BBC back in February 2022.

“I understand the consequences of my decision,” Djokovic tells the reporter, referencing his absence from the past two US Opens as well as the Australian Open as a result of being unvaccinated.

“Are you prepared to forgo the chance to be the greatest player that ever picked up a racket statistically because you feel so strongly about this jab?” asks the reporter, who clearly can’t fathom how someone could value bodily autonomy so highly.

“The principles of decision-making on my body are more important than any title or anything else,” replies the superstar with confidence.

“What a beautiful answer,” says Dave.

We couldn’t agree more.

Critically understaffed Canadian hospital network may hire unvaccinated health care workers after thousands were fired during pandemic



Thousands of health care workers were fired in Canada for their refusal to comply with government vaccine mandates. While most provinces have since dropped their vaccine requirements, many hospitals continue to require continued compliance.

One struggling Ontario hospital network is, however, contemplating prioritizing patient care over vaccine requirements in hopes of attracting more talent.

What are the details?

In March, the province of Ontario, home to the city of Toronto and the nation's capital of Ottawa, lifted the requirement for health care settings and hospitals to enforce COVID-19 vaccination policies.

CTV News reported that notwithstanding this change in tack, Ontario hospitals continue to enforce their own mandates, along with hospitals in British Columbia and Nova Scotia. Accordingly, health care workers still need to be vaccinated.

For the South Bruce Grey Health Centre health network, which serves nearly 44,000 people, this may prove untenable.

SBGHC has been struggling with staffing issues for a long time.

In October, the health network announced that one of its rural hospital's emergency rooms would be closing down, adding that health staffing in the province would likely "remain a challenge for the foreseeable future."

At the time, SBGHC stated the "pool of available nurses is very limited."

This staffing problem has only worsened.

The health network's ICUs are flooded with flu cases and vaccinated COVID-19 patients. All four of its rural hospitals have suffered ER closures. COVID-positive health care workers have had to stay on the job.

Ivy Bourgeault, an associate professor at the University of Ottawa, told CTV's "Your Morning Tuesday" that "many people are grasping at straws in order to keep their hospitals open."

Mandy Dobson, interim director of clinical services at SBGHC, indicated in a memo obtained by CTV News that the health network is now reviewing its COVID-19 vaccination policy.

A survey was attached to Dobson's memo asking staff what they thought about the possibility of allowing unvaccinated workers to help restore order and lighten the load.

Anne Laxton, a mother of three and registered nurse with over 12 years' experience, applied to work for SBGHC but was rejected on account of her vaccination status.

At a townhall meeting in October, Laxton noted that owing to a dearth of information about the vaccines at the time of their initial roll-out, she was unable to give informed consent.

Despite having worked through the worst of the pandemic, she was barred from returning to work in January on account of her refusal to comply with the vaccine requirement.

Laxton went instead to work in a nearby pub.

"I know there are some people who are worried about people like me, but I have worked in the pub without a mask. I have served my [former] coworkers in the pub without a mask and they kept sitting there, eating and drinking ... but I cannot go to work with them," said Laxton.

After explaining to a room full of people suffering on account of the health care worker shortage why there was at least one fewer nurse to help them, some began to shout, "Hire her, hire her!"

SBGHC is reportedly the only hospital network in the province considering hiring unvaccinated workers.

Desperate but stubborn

True North indicated that Ontario fired at least 1,665 health care workers. The number of health care professionals sacked nationwide was close to 10,000.

The Ottawa Citizen reported that when the conservative Ontario government considered forcing 140 hospitals and other public sectors to re-hire unvaccinated workers earlier this year, the Ontario Hospital Association told the government not to interfere.

Anthony Dale, head of the OHA, said, "Government interference on hospital decisions regarding health-care worker vaccinations would create significant disruption when hospitals are taking extraordinary measures to respond to the fourth wave."

The vice president of organizational effectiveness at Ottawa's Queensway Carleton Hospital claimed that returning unvaccinated health care workers to the hospital "may increase the risk of transmission to patients and staff, and would amplify our staffing shortages."

Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario CEO Doris Grinspun said, "99 per cent of nurses do not want to work next to a nurse that is not fully vaccinated."

CTV News noted that studies show vaccination does not stop COVID-19 infections or transmissions and that alleged protection in the vaccinated wanes after three months.
