Joe Rogan found himself in the eye of the storm after hosting several deplatformed scientists on his monolith podcast Joe Rogan Experience. In an attempt to have interesting conversations with captivating personalities Rogan allowed for public outrage – outrage he addressed adequately.
But the statement he gave while Spotify was pressured indicated that perhaps both Spotify and Rogan were more vulnerable than they let on. This is why that outrage was quickly followed by a second round of outrage – this time over decade’s old megacompilation featuring Rogan uttering racially charged slurs.
But the real story began in the end of cycle one. Hollywood actor and megastar Dwayne the Rock Johnson accepted Rogan’s apology on Covid 19 coverage – and in it set off the 2nd stream. It all started with this.
What the Rock wanted was a free opportunity to shill his tequila to Rogan’s rumored 11 million viewers per episode. What he got was a lot of twitter mentions from the extreme left. And one mention in particular left Johnson with no choice but to pull his endorsement and keep enjoying his stardom stress free.
The Don Winslow that the 2nd cycle of controversy is a writer with ties to a so called MeidasTouch. MeidasTouch is a democratic superpack that describes itself as:
“Producing the best pro-democracy political videos and content. Meidas Media Network. MeidasTouch PAC. Meidas Merch. Because TRUTH is golden.”
Dave Portnoy of barstool sports actually did the research on this.

The video compilation of Rogan saying the n-word was dropped by @patriottakes 6 days ago. You see the video in the tweet in pic 1, and patriottakes takes credit for “republishing” the information in pic 2.That they take credit is important and you’ll see why shortly… pic.twitter.com/mDbu3EPuZ9

As you can see in their bio, @patriottakes is partnered with @MeidasTouch.And this is where it gets interesting.
Who is Meidastouch?
Well, they are a professional political organization. In fact, they are a Democrat “Super PAC” (more on that in a moment) run by 3 brothers pic.twitter.com/9SvgzB6B6h

Ben, Brett, and Jordan Meisales.All of them have worked in media and have expertise in understanding and manipulating Media.
The most important thing for us is that Brett was a social media manager for Ellen Degeneres, and is an expert editor. Which matter because… pic.twitter.com/eeEtPePmpS

To recap: Meidastouch, a SuperPAC which can collect as much cash as it wants from pretty well anywhere, and is a professional strategy and media firm run by people with deep ties in entertainment, likely had a hand in the n-word video @patriottakes used to attack Joe Rogan…— Wokal Distance (@wokal_distance) February 6, 2022

So the question is….why?Why are they doing this, and what do they have to gain?
I think a clue can be found in the letter @patriottakes wrote about all of this.
Look at that highlighted part. What does that tell you??? What does that look like to you???? pic.twitter.com/iFg6fTufZW

Just in case anyone still thinks the attack on Rogan was organic, we have pre-made scripts out there about cancelling Rogan, and they’re the same word for word. That ain’t organic ??? pic.twitter.com/EqFMioYjmO— Wokal Distance (@wokal_distance) February 6, 2022
For a better explanation of just how this attack was organized take a look at the following video:
