Podcast host Joe Rogan dismisses the controversy surrounding Jason Aldean's song "Try That in a Small Town," pointing out that there are numerous rap songs with more explicit lyrics and content. The song's music video, which featured footage of riots and violence in 2020, was accused of promoting racism and was pulled from circulation on CMT. Rogan questions the selective outrage and highlights the racial aspect, noting that the real Antifa problems during the Black Lives Matter movement involved many angry liberal whites.
