Count Howard Stern and the women of “The View” as libs who are triggered by Joe Rogan, but don’t want him “Canceled.”
Stern made his comments while addressing rocker Neil Young’s shared and now deleted statement requesting that his music be removed from Spotify over Rogan’s COVID-19 vaccine comments.
On his SiriusXM radio show, Stern explained, “I don’t listen to Joe Rogan. I know Joe from 100 years ago. We’re no longer friendly. We were friendly at one point — I just knew him as the funny guy, as a comedian — I knew him before he was on Fear Factor actually. I know that his podcast is very popular, they say.”
“I am for any performer who can get any money and get paid. I’m happy for any young man or woman who can get paid in show business because so many people do not get paid. So those that can, god bless. It ain’t easy. It’s not an easy road. And attracting an audience is not easy,” Stern insisted.
Stern concluded by asserting that he doesn’t “want to see Joe Rogan canceled… Everything in this world comes down to money.”
On ABC’s “The View,” the women discussed Stern’s comments and Joy Behar agreed with him that although Rogan is “a horror” because of his COVID beliefs, she cited the First Amendment and said that doesn’t mean Spotify should dump him.
Behar called on people to boycott Spotify or not tune into Rogan’s show as an act of protest if they don’t agree with Rogan instead.
Although Behar believes Rogan shouldn’t be canceled, she defended Young and claimed, “Maybe other musicians will follow suit, and that would be legitimate. It’s not a cancel culture, it’s a consequence culture. And the way we handle it is we don’t buy Spotify. We ignore Spotify.”
“The View” co-host Sunny Hostin backed Behar and suggested, “How about a disclaimer on his podcast, that says ‘This is misinformation.’ How about removing some of the podcasts that disseminate this misinformation?”
