On Thursday's episode of his show, Joe Rogan called out the left for what he termed their historic distortion of President-elect Donald Trump and he also dropped some news that is already driving the left crazy.

Rogan detailed how the mainstream media used to love Trump. He played clips of an appearance he did on "The View from 2012 and when he went on Oprah and talked about him running for president. They loved him in both instances. 

So what happened? Rogan said, "What we saw is the greatest media psy-op in history."

Warning for graphic language: 

"What you’re seeing with Trump, regardless of his flaws, is a massive concentrated psy-op," Rogan said. "They’ve distorted who he is to the point where most people think that way. Most people think that way. They’ve had narratives."

Rogan points out (whiile they demonize Trump over deportations and his approach to illegal aliens), Barack Obama had a lot of deportations and Hillary Clinton's language on it sounded MAGA-like in 2008. So it's all about the narrative just to attack Trump. "It's all a f**king illusion!" Rogan concluded. 

But with Trump winning, Rogan thinks that's turned the tide. 

"They had control of the media up until now. This election was the first time they didn’t really have control of the media anymore," Rogan argued.

When asked why this is, the podcaster replied, "Because of us, because of podcasts. Because of social media, because of X."

That's why the mainstream media and the powers that be are so mad at him and at people like Elon Musk -- because they've disrupted that control. They've upended the psy-op which was not just against Trump but against the American people. 

Then he went on to say something that is already setting off people on the left -- mentioning that they were thinking of going to Mar-a-Lago to do a "Protect our Parks" episode. Now the "Protect our Parks" episodes are kind of crazy where he gets together with comedians Ari Shaffer, Shane Gillis, and Mark Normand. 

“Yeah, we have to. We helped Trump get elected,” Rogan blurted out after being asked by comedian Ari Shaffir about heading to Trump’s West Palm Beach, Fla., estate during a 13th sit-down with other fan-favorite guests and fellow comics Mark Normand and Shane Gillis.

Shaffir first floated the idea of recording another session at the president-elect’s resort on Jan. 14 to coincide with the release of his Netflix comedy special “America’s Sweetheart.”

“Can we get together?” Shaffir asked. “Trump’s obviously going to walk on.”

“100%,” Rogan agreed. “He’s gonna walk on if we do Mar-a-Lago.”

So it's not a typical interview thing. They said they were going to try to arrange it through Don Jr. 

Then the podcast account posted this, so it sounds like it may be on. 

That had some people on the left mad.

Imagine that. And it's the Democrats who turned Rogan, a former Bernie supporter into a Trump supporter. 

The Daily Beast saiid he wasn't willing to travel to Kamala Harris. 

But that wasn't the only issue, of course. She wanted restrictions on the interview, like only doing an hour. She wanted to dictate terms. Plus, as I noted, they wouldn't be doing a regular interview-type show there. So they're not being quite accurate about what was said. Her team claimed they just never had the time, although they had been in Texas for the event with Beyonce and did other lesser podcasts/events.
