Joe Rogan has revealed that two former U.S. presidents pressured Spotify to censor his views on COVID.
In his most recent episode with Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, a Houston-based otolaryngologist who wrote a book about her battle to push back against the mainstream narratives about the pandemic, Rogan detailed how aggressively people in powerful places had come after him.
“Spotify got calls from two former presidents,”
Spotify responded by flagging podcasts discussing COVID-19, however, although Rogan insists the effects were overwhelmingly positive.
“I grew by two million subscribers in a month,” he said.
“People started listening, and they started listening, like, ‘Oh, he’s really reasonable and pretty humble about all this stuff and just asking questions.’”
NEW: Joe Rogan just revealed that Spotify got calls from TWO FORMER PRESIDENTS after his viral ivermectin Instagram post.
Dr. Mary Talley Bowden thought he was joking. “Really?” she asked.
“OH YEAH,” Rogan confirmed.
“OH YEAH.”

Rogan also criticized media outlets that mocked his use of ivermectin to treat COVID-19, accusing them of deliberately misleading the public by calling it a horse dewormer.
“I’m, like, ‘Why aren’t you guys concentrating on the fact that a 55-year-old man is fine three days later during the worst strain?’
“It was during the Delta where everybody’s freaking out. ‘This one’s going to kill us all,’” he continued.
“And I was fine in three days.”
The 57-year-old added that he no longer respects mainstream media after they disgraced themselves countless times.
“It’s so dirty. It’s such a dirty business,” Rogan said.
“God, I used to have massive respect for journalists.”
“If I had never done this podcast, I would be your regular schmo out there with, you know, just spitting out all the company lines and all the blast all over the news.”
“I kind of liked it better when I didn’t think the world is filled with demons, money-hungry demons that are willing to sacrifice human lives in the pursuit of revenue.”
