AUSTIN, TEXAS: Joe Rogan recently shared his take on the Bud Light conspiracy once again on his podcast, 'The Joe Rogan Experience.' According to Rogan, "social problems" like the Bud Light backlash are designed to "distract" people from what's actually going on in society.

During a conversation with guest Tom Segura on Tuesday's episode of JRE on July 4, the stand-up comic and podcast host discussed the widely-held belief that such news stories were designed to distract people from real issues. Rogan had once labeled actress, Dylan Mulvaney "mentally ill" and an "attention w***e" for complaining about being left to fend for herself after the Bud Light controversy.

'It's like two hot dogs'

Rogan and his guest Segura talked for nearly three hours. Segura asserted that the Bud Light backlash, triggered by the brand's engagement with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney, and other such boycott movements had caused him "social fatigue."

Rogan said about Bud Light, "So they're making these very subtle commercials. They're like almost nothing goes with wieners like Bud Light, you know and it's like two hot dogs." He added, "If you're a conspiracy theorist, this is the real conspiracy. The conspiracy is, have as many social problems as possible to distract people, to get people to concentrate on."

He continued, "Whether it's a pandemic, whether it's masks, vaccines, Pride, trans movement, drag shows. Sponsor drag shows for kids, if you want people to get mad and want people to get distracted. Get people to think that it's a good idea to do that and watch the outrage."

Rogan went on to mention environmental campaigner Greta Thunberg, to which Segura agreed. "There's so many of these social distractions that are in our face all day long about everything," the host continued, returning to conspiracy theories. "And I feel like sometimes about Supreme Court rulings. 'We're gonna take away Roe v. Wade' and everyone's 'What the f***. What? What?'"

Rogan went on to say, "Then that one becomes a thing that people identify as the most important problem that they have to solve. And while all this is going on, money's getting moved around, decisions are getting made and it's a brilliant cover for wild s**t."

"Yeah," Segura agreed. "Because all you have to do ever really is follow the money on anything. And you see what's actually happening. And everything else is a distraction to that."

Rogan criticizes LGBTQ community

Rogan found it to be "wild" that the LGBTQ community "took over" the use of rainbows and the phrase "pride." The UFC commentator discussed the alleged phenomena with guest Segura. “What’s weird is that when you say pride, people immediately think of gay," Rogan remarked. “How wild is that—that they did that?”

Rogan made a reference to Cain Velasquez, a former UFC heavyweight who has “Brown Pride” tattooed across his chest. “Now people are like, ‘What are you trying to say?’” he went on. “It used to be; you were proud. Now, it’s gay. Wild!” In reference to Pride Month, Rogan said, "you don't even have to say, 'gay pride' anymore. How insidious they snuck it in,” he added. “They slowly took over pride like they took over the rainbow.”
