I'm overall a fan of what Rogan does but I think you picked a poor example for #1. He destroyed Mencia but every time the well-documented joke theft of Amy Schu

  While it's definitely something I wish he was harsher on, I remember him addressing it a few times and raising some good points and contrasts between the two - purely paraphrasing and probably not fully accurate: * Rogan felt that he shouldn't be "the comedy police", and that his level of fame would make calling anyone out much more difficult. I remember him saying that one of the stolen bits was from Dave Chappelle, and that if Dave wasn't going to call her out for it, he doesn't feel he should. * While it's hard to dispute that jokes were stolen, most of what she had stole had been from sketch comedy, which happens fairly frequently. * Additionally, on many of her shows she's had a team of writers, so accusing Schumer of stealing jokes isn't factually accurate when it could've been a writer that stole from CollegeHumor or Dave Chappelle. * In stances where one-liners were lifted, Rogan echoed the points of Marc Maron, who said that one-liners are largely fair-game, because no routine hangs off of a solid one-liner. IMO, there are some weak arguments, and some that I agree with - and that's pretty much everything I like about JRE.
