So here's Joe Rogan, Joe claims multiple US presidents directly contacted Spotify in an
effort to get his show taken down.
Here's Joe.
I can't even talk about it, but there was presidents involved and former presidents
involved that were contacting Spotify.
Oh, yeah.
Trying to get me removed for vaccine misinformation.
Yeah, well, it turned out to be right.
All of it.
Not a single ******* apologize.
Interviewing the dude that invented mRNA.
Oh, yeah.
And the most published doctor in his field.
Not a single apologize.
Not a single apology from anybody.
Not a single retraction.
Not a single, you know, mea culpa.
Not a single we were wrong.
And you know, I lost a lot of sponsors.
I lost a lot during those days.
It was interesting.
There was a time where it was working.
Wow.
Yeah.
I didn't know there was that much coordination.
Oh, who do you think?
We know one of the presidents was Biden that we know, and it's not really Biden as Jill,
but it's the administration.
Kamala.
Who else would it be?
Barack Obama.
Okay.
So if you got Obama as the other one that would possibly do a former and he wasn't on
Spotify until September 1st, 2020.
Do you really think GW cares?
No, I don't think he cares or nothing.
No.
Do you think Hillary Clinton cares?
Well, she wasn't a president.
Yeah.
I don't know why.
I think it is tied to her husband, but I don't think Bill cares.
I don't think Bill gives a ----.
I think Bill actually would be a great podcast on Joe.
Bill ever did a Joe Rogan podcast.
It would be a phenomenal.
Yeah.
If they did that podcast.
So what do you, what do you think about this yourself?
You know, you're on the, you're on mainstream, your Fox, you're on that side.
What do you think when you hear a story like this, Brett?
I think it's scary.
And it goes back to our first story about Tulsi Gabbard and that information today.
I mean, by the way, we're, we're investing, you know, uh, some time in special report
to go dig into that some more and where it goes and what we talked about at the beginning
of the show.
But I mean, this is, that's the scary thing is that if you look back again, whatever happened
to, this is, you know, the entire squelching of all of that information in the early days.
And Joe is right.
It got to the point where it was, you know, dangerous, they were going to yank them.
And it was pressure, real pressure.
And yet years later, it turns out all of the things that he was talking about and the interviews
he was doing turn out to be true where we are looking back at the disease, looking back
at COVID.
Um, so I think it's scary.
I think, you know, we talk about freedom in my book, the case for America, freedom of
speech and how important it is freedom, uh, to pick up and go where you want to go.
But when you see this and a government coming down, uh, it has to be a red, red alert, you
know, sirens going up, Tom.
Well, God bless Daniel X and thank God he wasn't in the U S where they could get him
with tax and other tools.
Yeah.
Uh, he was, he was on a hill that they couldn't use any of their weaponized techniques or
the, you know, FCC necessarily to, well, they could use the FCC if it was more difficult.
Spotify's in Sweden, right, Tom?
Yeah.
And by the way, you know, you take FCC rules on it.
I'll show you 30 seconds how to put a VPN on your phone and then go get where you're
not supposed to get.
That's how the Chinese do it right now.
Um, so I think, you know, thank you Daniel for doing this, but the other side of it,
what this shows is that the cancer cancel culture was real and that the, the, what,
what the left was willing to do to protect its turf was not to allow debate, but to
suppress it.
And so the, the side that calls the, that calls us, Oh, you're this totalitarian
regime, yet you're the ones trying to push freedom of speech out the door.
You're the one trying to cancel voices.
You're the one that wants to pull back on a debate.
Really?
Who who's, who's the dictator now?
Who's the king now?
And I, I'm looking, if you've got a report coming on this, Brett, God bless you.
I'm looking forward to seeing where that came from.
I'm looking forward to seeing where the angles, because we've seen things that
would, we know what the Obama administration is capable of, and we know what Hillary
Clinton was capable of because now the Russian stuff is all public and we've seen
the federal memorandum and we've seen defense, the excuse me, a DNI memorandum
on that Pat, right?
So guess what?
This is just chapter two.
But think about this though.
Joe Rogan.
Remember the Ivermectin?
He was sick.
He was taking Ivermectin and CNN changed the colors.
And they said it was a horse medication and how dairy is endangering the
population.
Oh yeah.
The Chris, now it turns out that Ivermectin is that people go, Oh yeah,
that's, that's something you could use.
Oh yeah.
You mean the Chris Cuomo's and everybody's saying that I remember the actual
segment where he's like in a world of terror and everything, you know, what's
big worse is your fellow American.
He literally said the unvaccinated, the people that aren't vaccinated, we're the
terror.
Like that's, that's, that's basically what he was saying, which is absolutely
ridiculous.
And the fact that that we're assuming, which I would put money on it, that the
two presidents were, uh, Biden and Obama, that just shows the power of Obama and
who was really pulling the strings.
Cause he was on a podcast.
Remember when he goes, if there was a way that I could be in a basement with an
earpiece and tell them what to do, I would do it.
And mind you, this is the same Biden administration that send the feds to
Twitter and Facebook to bury stories, bury the Hunter Biden laptop, which had
all the freaking big guy, all the payments and everything and the COVID stuff.
So you mean to tell me you guys were, were, were suppressing stories besides the
Hunter Biden thing, the, the, the effectiveness or, or the, or the problems
with a vaccine that you guys pushed with the deep state guy that was Fauci that
was under by, uh, president Trump.
And that's why Brad drives me crazy when people like, well, the, the, the, the,
what's it called?
Operation warp speed happened under, under Trump.
Yeah.
You mean a president that was getting told from a Fauci who was in for how many
presidents, how many presidents far back?
Maybe four, five presidents that that's the problem.
So the fact that they're pushing it and they knew it wasn't safe is again, going
back to the main story of how unbelievable it is.
And now we're just supposed to move on and go to the next one.
You didn't need to give Chris Cuomo some grace.
He came out and did an about face on ivermectin said he was taking ivermectin
and he went back and said that what the things that Joe Rogan said were correct.
This is like two years ago.
And he was on this podcast and made comments about that.
Now there are other things that Chris has held the line on,
on his previous positions, but on that one point on ivermectin,
you do got to give him grace because he's one of the few people that turned the
other way and said, Hey, yes, yes.
I just think it's, it's overdue for Vinnie and Chris to have a celebrity fight.
And we just, we just do it in the gym here and watch that happen.
So I'll just add one thing.
How many smaller podcasts that we don't know about?
I mean, Joe Rogan's on Spotify.
How many smaller podcasts just got a lot of them?
How many people, you know, it, it, it backfired.
Can we show that picture with Rogan when he literally YouTube strikes?
You're right.
Of course.
All we show that picture.
We saw Rogan at UFC is a stocked, you know, pretty damn guy.
Guy looked like he was the incredible Hulk.
I know he's big.
They made him green.
Yeah, there it is right there.
Disgusting.
I mean, that's what CNN did to Joe Rogan.
Unbelievable.
So no wonder trust is at all time low.
But the last thing if people start taking ivermectin or people actually just start
getting outside and work it out, you know what it messes with the big
pharma money, you see the movie Friday when he goes, Hey, you mess with my
money's like messing with my emotions.
You start messing with Pfizer, Moderna, J and J's money.
You're going to get a call from the president.
Yeah.
