– I'm not sure what @joerogan thinks about me or about my government, but it doesn't matter. If freedom of speech means anything, it means that people should be free to say what they think, no matter if they agree or disagree with us. Stand your ground! Hugs from Brazil. 👍

The President of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, this week tweeted support for Joe Rogan, who is currently under a total assault from every aspect of the establishment because he is daring to question the official doctrines of the state and state media.
They are really, really trying to shut Joe down.
It’s really wild, because he is the single most popular English-language broadcaster – by like, a lot. Tucker Carlson is number two, and Joe has about five times his viewership/listenership.
It’s almost unbelievable that they would be able to take him off the air, but Jen Psaki just came out and said he needs to be silenced during an official press briefing – so, I mean, that’s pretty hot heat.
I guess “if you take a shot at the king, you’d better not miss” is a relevant idiom here. They are taking a shot at the king of media, officially publicly demanding he be pulled off the air. If he isn’t pulled off the air, I don’t think he’s going to start going softer on them.
And if he is pulled off the air – we don’t know what that means. We don’t know what his Spotify contract says. It’s hard to believe that he would have signed a contract that said that he could be arbitrarily fired, and then be banned from broadcasting somewhere else. But remember – he got $100 million.
Spotify dumping him would probably mean the company would go under, but the contract would still be valid as long as the company existed in some form.
People legit mad this guy has a podcast.
Let him learn.

Let’s be clear. If Putin and the Kremlin had called fir the censorship of any person in media, every journalist would be up in arms about the tyranny of a dictatorship. @JoeBiden and his authoritarian administration MUST NOT get a pass for trying to silence Joe Rogan. pic.twitter.com/0sLEBDhf2y

Who died from listening to Joe Rogan’s show?
I can give you the names of many, many people who died because of the wars his media critics lied the country into.
But who died from listening to Joe Rogan? Anyone?

CNN spent a year giving cover to the many scandals involving the Cuomos while the president of the network was having an affair with his colleague, who happened to be Andrew’s former comms director.
And corporate media wonders why we trust Joe Rogan more than them.

I’d like to go on Joe Rogan’s podcast…

I get the feeling some people are using @joerogan‘s COVID interview as a pretext to silence his voice because he’s not woke. Zealots of wokeism try to censor voices who don’t agree with theirs, because they fear the absurdity and weakness of their positions will be exposed.

Joe Rogan is bigger than Spotify.
