Joe Rogan Accuses Biden Administration of ‘Gaslighting’ Americans About Recession
Joe Rogan pulled no punches on a recent episode of his eponymous podcast, in which the former UFC commentator railed against the administration for “gaslighting” the American people about the meaning of a recession after two consecutive quarters of economic contraction were reported on July 28.
On Tuesday, Rogan released episode 1,851 of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” an interview spanning over three hours with YouTuber and fellow podcast host Chris Williamson. At one point in the episode, Rogan and Williamson turn to the topic of the recent quarterly gross domestic product (GDP) report and the efforts of President Joe Biden to deflect the recession label. Rogan criticized the administration for tampering with the definition of the word “recession,” and claimed that politicians were “gaslighting” the American public by denying the label.
“People think that [the word ‘recession’] is trivial, ’cause 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 in the government has done a good job of making sure that the economy stays in a good place,” Rogan said. “They definitely haven’t done that, so in order to escape that sort of distinction, they’re literally changing the definition, which is terrible, and it should be pushed back against in a big way. It should be something that people get angry about.”
Williamson appeared to agree with Rogan, arguing that changing the definition of “recession” served only to distract from the hard economic reality and to protect the political interests of the Democratic Party.
“The bizarre thing about the recession situation is the fact that it doesn’t matter what you call it. You can call it … ‘paradise’
