Joe Rogan’s explosive revelation that two former U.S. presidents pressured Spotify to censor his COVID-19 views exposes the depths of the liberal establishment’s fear of free speech. In a recent episode with Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, Rogan detailed how the political and media elite conspired to silence dissenting voices during the pandemic. “Spotify got calls from two former presidents,” he revealed, confirming what many conservatives have long suspected: the left will weaponize power to crush opposition.
Despite the censorship attempts, Rogan’s audience grew by two million subscribers in a month, proving that Americans crave truth, not the manufactured narratives of the corporate media. “People started listening, and they started listening, like, ‘Oh, he’s really reasonable and pretty humble about all this stuff and just asking questions,’” Rogan noted. The liberal media’s smear campaign backfired—instead of silencing him, they amplified his message.
Rogan also slammed the media’s dishonest attacks on ivermectin, which they maliciously labeled as “horse dewormer” to discredit its potential benefits. *“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?’”* he asked. “It was during the Delta where everybody’s freaking out. ‘This one’s going to kill us all.’ And I was fine in three days.” The media’s refusal to acknowledge alternative treatments reveals their allegiance to Big Pharma and the political agenda—not public health.
The 57-year-old podcast host didn’t hold back in his criticism of the mainstream press, calling it a “dirty business.” “God, I used to have massive respect for journalists,” Rogan admitted. “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.” His disillusionment mirrors the frustration of millions of Americans who’ve watched the media lie, manipulate, and fearmonger for years.
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.”

This is why President Donald Trump’s battle against fake news resonates so deeply. The liberal media spent years smearing Trump, just as they smeared Rogan, for daring to challenge their narratives. From hydroxychloroquine to lockdown skepticism, Trump was right—and the so-called “experts” were wrong. The same media that mocked Trump now looks foolish as Rogan exposes their corruption.
The left’s censorship machine is crumbling. Americans are waking up, rejecting the propaganda, and demanding truth. As Rogan put it: “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.”
