‘They didn’t want me’: Joe Rogan says forces trying to hype up his equivalent on the left

Joe Rogan exposed the “propagandists” on the left who have been working to find an alternative to his wildly popular podcast.

The host of the Joe Rogan Experience spoke with former MTV host Adam Curry about the shift that put him on the opposite side of the political aisle and how the left “didn’t want” him because he wouldn’t lie.

“The media is trying to say ‘We need a Joe Rogan on the left.’ You basically had one but you were so crazy that Joe started to think right,” Curry, himself a podcast pioneer, said during the interview.

“They didn’t want me,” Rogan replied.

“That’s the psyop working against them. In the past, they could take someone like me and demonize them and it would be effective and they could just remove you from the airwaves because you didn’t play by the rules,” the former UFC commentator said.

“Now people say that I’m telling the truth and then they’ll stop listening to CNN and faith in them crashes and faith in mainstream media crashes and faith in podcasts rises,” he noted.

“They’ll probably try to hype someone up to be the Joe Rogan of the left,” Curry suggested.

“They already are,” Rogan insisted.

“Who do you think it is?” Curry asked.

“Who cares? Let them try. It won’t work,” the podcaster remarked.

“They don’t have authenticity. When you listen to someone long enough you see if they’re real,” he noted. “I don’t lie. A lot of these people are propagandists. They try to make arguments without looking at the other side. I always try to look at the other side. It’s an important quality for a person broadcasting to millions of people and also for a human being.”

In another recent podcast episode, Rogan blasted the Democratic Party and mainstream media for being out of touch with Americans, predicting that the party is “going to keep shedding people. They’re not going to correct course.”

“We don’t trust you anymore. We don’t trust The New York Times. We don’t trust The Washington Post. We don’t trust CNN or MSNBC. They’re all full of propaganda,” Rogan said. “That’s why the internet rose. It’s not because there’s some sort of heavily funded right-wing conspiracy. No, you guys suck,” he said. “You’re not real people. Nobody wants to hang out with Brian Stelter.”
