Joe Rogan said hippies, artists, musicians, and comedians reached out to thank him for endorsing President-elect Donald Trump in the 2024 election. During a recent episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience," the prolific podcaster said celebrities thanked him for endorsing him because they could not give public support to Trump over fears of attacks. 'They don’t want to be attacked.'“There’s a lot of people that don’t speak their mind. Do you know how many artists that have reached out to me that are, like, f***ing hippies, man, like artists, like musicians, comedians that thanked me for endorsing Trump because they can’t do it?” Rogan said.“They said they want to, but they don’t wanna be attacked. They can’t say it. They think the country is going in the wrong direction," Rogan said during Wednesday’s episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience.”Rogan did not name the names of the celebrities who secretly supported Trump. "A lot of what people say, they say it because they don’t want people to attack them. They say it because they think that if they say it, it will clear them; they’ll be OK,” Rogan explained.Rogan added, "If you say you support ‘x’ — you might not even support ‘x’ — but if you say you support ‘x,’ you’re not going to get attacked, and the right people will leave you alone or agree with you and appreciate you or praise you."During the podcast, Rogan warned that having an ideological media cover government leaders could be "dangerous," "whether it’s a right-wing government or a left-wing government, and that what you see that’s happening in the U.K. where people are being imprisoned for tweets and Facebook posts. It’s f***ing crazy.""Mind-bending. The whole thing is nuts," Rogan added. "And it’s a dangerous path that we were on. We were on that path. Trump has vowed to have free speech become a very important part of what he’s standing for and that this censoring of information needs to stop and that we need to stop all government influence in what people have to say."Rogan interviewed billionaire Elon Musk right before the election and discussed the significant issues heading into the 2024 election. Musk said Harris would use the levers of government to shut down the X social media platform if elected. Rogan made his endorsement of Trump on the eve of the 2024 election — less than two weeks after interviewing the former president on his massively popular podcast.Rogan's three-hour interview with Trump garnered a whopping 50 million views on just YouTube alone.As Blaze News recently reported, Rogan said Vice President Kamala Harris wouldn't do an interview on "The Joe Rogan Experience" because her campaign set parameters on the duration of the interview and the site of the meeting and wanted to avoid certain topics such as marijuana legalization.During Friday's episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience" with Evan Hafer, former Green Beret with the 19th Special Forces Group and founder of Black Rifle Coffee Company, Rogan somewhat jokingly theorized that President Joe Biden voted for Trump in the 2024 election. "Do you know what one of my f***ing favorite things about this election cycle has been? Yesterday, when Biden and Trump sat down in the White House. Biden voted for Trump, I guarantee it. I f***ing guarantee it. I never saw that dude so happy in his f***ing life," Rogan said."He lost. His party lost. He was happy," Rogan noted."Look at his f****ng smile, dude," Rogan said of a smiling Biden with Trump at the White House. "That's like when your kid gets married.""But look at that smile. That motherf***er has never been happier in his life – in his life," Rogan told Hafer. Rogan noted that some Democrats warned that Trump was Adolf Hitler but was welcomed into the White House by Biden. Like Blaze News?

Nearly a dozen NCAA athletes and one coach are suing the Mountain West Conference over alleged First Amendment violations that stem from a male athlete playing against women.Officials at San Jose State University are also named in the lawsuit that alleges the female athletes were subject to a new "Transgender Participation Policy" that sought to "suppress the free speech rights of women athletes."The lawsuit, backed by the Independent Council on Women's Sports, claims the defendants manipulated conference rules, "diminished sport opportunities for women," and used their position to punish dozens of female college athletes for taking a stand against having to compete against men in their sport.That athlete is SJSU's transgender player, Blaire Fleming. Born Brayden, Fleming is a 6'1'' male whose inclusion on the team has sparked five separate forfeits from opposing teamsAccording to the provided Transgender Participation Policy, the decision whether to allow a "transgender athlete" to participate in intercollegiate athletics is at the discretion of each school, determined by its own "interaction with the individual [and] the application of state law." — (@) Shockingly, the policy states that the NCAA will "not entertain inquiries or challenges regarding the eligibility of transgender student-athletes." Schools are also not required to provide information to their opponents about whether or not there is a transgender athlete on their team."It shall be the discretion of the certifying institution whether or not to provide pertinent information," the policy states.Plaintiffs in the lawsuit include three women from the University of Wyoming, two from Boise State, and two from University of Nevada Reno.Nevada's Sia Liilii previously spoke to Blaze News, simply stating that she and her teammates got together and decided what was happening "isn't right." Brooke Slusser (left) lines up alongside transgender athlete Blaire Fleming (right).Photo by Andrew Wevers/Getty Images'I will do everything to protect this opportunity for other girls and women.'Two of Fleming's own teammates from SJSU have joined the lawsuit, along with the Associate Head Coach of Women’s Volleyball Melissa Batie-Smoose.The coach was recently suspended after speaking out on the issue and even alleged that Fleming had conspired against his own teammate (Brooke Slusser, also named in the lawsuit) with an opponent to try to injure her.Utah State captain Kaylie Ray, another plaintiff, called for more support from the Mountain West Conference and NCAA."We need leaders in the Mountain West and NCAA to step up. Being a woman in sports has shaped my life, and I will do everything to protect this opportunity for other girls and women."San Jose State University and its staff have not returned requests for comments on the situation, nor have they been willing to address any claims made by the student-athletes or coach.Like Blaze News?

Today, November 15, should’ve been the day where we all got to jump into Assassin’s Creed Shadows to explore Feudal Japan as Naoe and Yasuke, but its delay into 2025 put the brakes on that. Instead, we can sit back and watch Ubisoft address a series of leaks that recently emerged about battle passes and cosmetics in Shadows and the upcoming Assassin's Creed Animus Hub, which will be a central space connecting all future AC games. In a short but direct statement posted to Reddit, a community manager has labeled the leaks “inaccurate” and has clarified what the Animus Hub will entail.

Image: ESPN ESPN is testing an AI-generated avatar with the Saturday college football show SEC Nation. Dubbed FACTS, it’s going to be “...promoting education and fun around sports analytics” with information drawn from ESPN Analytics, which includes data like the Football Power Index (FPI), player and team statistics, and game schedules. We haven’t seen the avatar in action, but it sounds like a bot-ified version of stats encyclopedia Howie Schwab, who was ESPN’s first statistician and eventually the star of a mid-2000s game show, Stump the Schwab. ESPN has already brought generative AI to its website with AI-written game recaps. FACTS is still in development, and there’s no word on when it could make its first appearance on the network.
