Joe Rogan Claims Multiple US Presidents Tried to Get His Podcast Taken Off the Air
On the Wednesday, June 17 episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Joe Rogan said multiple former U.S. presidents contacted Spotify seeking his removal during the Covid-19 pandemic. Rogan described a pressure campaign tied to vaccine misinformation accusations, saying PACs and other groups targeted sponsors and Spotify. He said the effort failed, credited Spotify's global footprint, and noted he lost many sponsors. The conversation with author Chase Hughes revisited earlier controversies over Covid information and media coverage. Rogan has not named any presidents; CNN denied a separate manipulation accusation, and an Associated Press analysis reported no evidence of alteration.
