“It’s Not the Russians” – Joe Rogan Explains How a Handful People Have the Power to ‘Sanction’ Violence

Joe Rogan revolutionized the podcasting space and took the world by storm after starting his podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience.” Rogan has never been the one to shy away from expressing his feelings or standing up for his beliefs. Recently, he took shots at the people in power.

JRE #1839 featured Joe Rogan alongside comedian Duncan Trussell. In one segment, Rogan spoke about the popular Russian pool player, Fedor Gorst. Rogan mentioned how Gorst was “trapped” in the US because he couldn’t get citizenship so that he could play pool. Rogan also mentioned how some people didn’t want a Russian playing in their event.

He added, “My point is, it’s not the Russians, it’s not the people. It’s only the people that are in positions of power. Doesn’t matter what the f*ck they are, from whatever country, fill in the blank. It’s the same thing.”

Rogan continued, “It’s just humans that have control over giant groups of humans and can literally… they can sanction murder. They can say you’re allowed, you’re allowed to launch… I’m ordering you to launch missiles into apartment buildings.”

Joe Rogan Shifts to Spotify

Rogan originally started his podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience” on YouTube but later shifted it to Spotify in 2020.

Rogan made an Instagram post in May 2020, declaring that he would be shifting the podcast to Spotify in an exclusive deal. According to Wall Street Journal, this deal was worth over $100 million. Rogan also stressed the fact that Spotify would have no creative control over the content of the podcast and that this shift to a new platform would not affect the quality of the show in any way.

A shift in the platform combined with the pandemic controversy makes us think that Rogan suffered heavily after this shift. But contrary to popular opinion, the podcast has substantially grown and is the biggest it has ever been.
