Podcaster Joe Rogan absolutely destroyed a recent New York Times headline that warned about the dangers of the U.S. Constitution, suggesting that there’s no amount of “gaslighting” the news organization could do to make him see their side.
During “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast, Rogan and his guest evolutionary biologist, podcaster, and author Dr. Bret Weinstein talked about the headline that read, “The Constitution Is Sacred. Is It Also Dangerous?”
“One of the biggest threats to America’s politics might be the country’s founding document,” the subheadline added.
“This isn’t the Babylon Bee,” Rogan told his guest, referencing the satire news source. “This is an actual New York Times article.”
“This is so crazy. It’s really hard to believe that someone would print this and the New York Times would say ‘yeah we like it, put it out there,’” he added, reading the headline and subhead. “What the f*** are you talking about?”
“One of the biggest threats to America’s politics might be one of the greatest documents that any country was ever founded on if not the greatest ever,” Rogan continued. “That could be a threat to America’s politics? What politics are we talking about?”
Rogan asked how the NYT could “possibly gaslight me enough to go along with you on this?”

Weinstein called it “incredible,” noting how on one hand, it was “completely predictable” because “there’s obviously an authoritarian force there that just grinds its teeth at night over the Constitution and the fact that it prevents it from doing things that it just wants to do.”
“So, of course they’re, like, scratching their heads like, ‘can we come up with an argument for why it might be time to get rid of that thing?’ And of course, if you’re a normal thinking person, this is complete insanity,” he added. “But if you’re a New York Times reader, I’m sure that fits with the kind of ethos that’s been cultivated.”
The podcast host then suggested this is why a person like former President Donald Trump is so important to the Left because they can claim his return to the White House is a so-called “imminent threat,” allowing them to justify headlines that claim the Constitution is “dangerous” or that it’s time to get rid of things like the First and Second Amendments.
