joe rogan himself says, the perception that people have of him is simply based on disparaging headlines. meanwhile, we spoke to the daughter of one of rogan's latest guests, the prominent clinical psychologist, jordan peterson. she questions the outrage over the podcast. there are definitely topics and dad basically covered them all in as podcast with rogan, that if you're on one side of them, then you're the bad guy. that mainstream media isn't going to be like, oh, jordan peterson returns to rogan. you know what a fantastic episode they're going to find something he sat in there and then try and discredit him that way. stifling people's freedom of speech is more dangerous than allowing people to speak. and i mean, joe rogan as a comedian. right? so people watching his podcast should be aware that he comes out all these ideas about colvin and climate. whatever that's being discussed, as a curious comedian is not an expert. i think he poses an actual danger to the mainstream narrative. so most of the news stations people see all say the same thing. they all have one way of thinking. and

whether that means they cut ties with joe rogan, that seems the most extreme option. to talk about vaccines anymore on his show. they've got to find some kind of compromise. it seems something has to happen because it's just going to get worse and worse. there's a rock band that posted a sign on their spotify page saying, delete spotify, which is -- i don't really mean to laugh at that, but it's kind of funny because people see it when it says recommended for you and it's a rock band called belly and what they see is delete spotify on spotify. the pressure is mounting clearly from a lot of the musicians. but if spotify has already said in a statement that "the new york times" had that it has a great responsibility, you know, in quote, unquote balancing messages, when that does not sign post that they're going to try and give any artist or anyone who shares this platform any kind of ultimatum. >> 100%. but this is business. and the decision to effectively side with joe rogan over neil young, over joni mitchell was a business decision. and if podcasters are not going to

broadly with the large fan base that joe rogan has what is the joe rogan effect on his listeners?e that joe rogan has, and the effect of misinformation spreading to such a large audience, they have sort of a responsibility to the public during a public health emergency to protect the public from this kind of misinformation and harmful information going to the public. and right now we have 26% of our population that is still unvaccinated, and misinformation like this directly contributes to that. >> is part of what he was making there the case against vaccines, was he was trying to say there is such a risk of myocarditis for a certain age group with the vaccine, in fact, he was fact checked that the risk of myocarditis from actual covid is many times higher. what did you think of his response to that when he then went on to say, well, where are we getting this from? >> it is very concerning because, you know, joe rogan is an entertainer, he is not a public health or medical professional. and listening to, you know, the -- there has been rare cases of myocarditis detected in young m

they are sticking with joe rogan's podcast and removing neil young's music from their streaming platform. last night i told you about young's ultimatum to spotify that it can have his music or rogan on but not both. citing rogan's rampant covid misinformation on his podcast. well, the "wall street journal" is reporting that the rock and roll icon is not backing down after discussions with spotify. so the service is taking down his music. rogan's podcast is the most popular on spotify. he reportedly has a $100 million deal with the platform. the u.s. handing russia a written response over the ukraine crisis. now the ball is in putin's court. a pivoting metal head that defines every edge, and three comb lengths for added versatility. one tool that helps you choose, change, and master your style. king c. gillette ♪"don't ya leave" by squeak e clean♪ [doorbell] ♪ [doorbell] ♪ [doorbell] all the delivery. no delivery fees. dashpass. with directv stream i can get live tv and on demand anywhere. look, serena williams... matrix... serena... matrix... serena... matrix... ♪ ♪ ♪ get your tv togethe

joe rogan experience 11 million spotify listeners per episode.s to spotify, the decisions being made, especially when it's let's keep joe rogan. >> yeah, i think spotify is just thinking about their bottom line. i don't think they're eager to lose either neil young or joni mitchell, but joe rogan is a superstar. they pay him about $100 billion and he has a huge fan base. they're standing by the money and joe rogan and taking a big risk. if a few more artists, if they follow and neil and joni, it's pretty bad for spotify. i want to read some of your response, which you included in your reporting, justifying their decisions. you said this -- rogan has yet to comment on the matter, but spotify did release a statement saying we have detailed and have removed over 20,000 podcast episodes related to covid-19 since the start of this pandemic. he regret neil's decision to remove his music, but hope to welcome him bake soon, not really taking any responsibility or quite frankly addressing what rogan is putting out there directly. what does it say about th

in a statement to cnn about the content of the podcast, spotify, which has exclusive rights to joe rogan's podcast, said we won't be commenting on this. but many on social media sure did. >> oh, my god. i'm not black. >> reporter: delete spotify began trending. some accused rogan of platforming hate. monday musician neil young, fed up with rogan's vaccine misinformation, told spotify to choose between him and rogan. they removed young's music. lies being sold for money, young declared, in a statement. at issue is certainly money. rogan's podcast is one of the most popular in the u.s. and beyond. spotify has at times removed content that is deemed inaccurate or offensive. legal scholars say any move to censor controversial speech is in the hands of private companies. >> those private companies have a lot more flexibility on their own to make decisions, either to regulate speech and try to shrink the space of this kind of discussion or to provide very robust protections for speech that don't provide very many restrictions on what people can actually say on their platforms. >> reporter: you c

joe rogan is pushing back against the man and you are pushing back against joe rogan. >> it's interestingn the beginning if you get the vaccine you are not going to get covid. then they said we will never have a vaccine mandate, and i we have vaccine mandates. now whether you are vaccinated and have a poster or have natural immunity, you are still getting covid. everybody's -- how come we run out of tests -- how could they be so behind the curve on this? >> think about what all these idiots are saying. they are worried about misinformation. you turn on the view, you turn on cnn, what have you guys been right about. you close the beaches down, you close the school's down cloth masks, the vaccine is going to be effective. a natural immunity wasn't affected. what if you been right about? that is really the question. i put joe rogan's batting average up against cnn's batting average any day of the week. >> sean: by the way, that is a good point in 2015. merck doesn't support us all label use. but one thing that has been working as monoclonal antibodies. i know that they were working wonders o

how significant is joe rogan's podcast source of some of that misinformation?k you so much for having me. the request for debunking misinformation is a common ask throughout the pandemic. there is a ton of disinformation and misinformation surrounding covid-19 as a virus, covid-19 vaccines and the data. i wasn't surprised i was getting a deluge of inquiries about this particular episode which, unfortunately, has gone viral and is filled with pretty regularly debunked misinformation. what was most concerning to me, though, and made me respond was the fact i was noticing a trend from people i found to be quite discerning and able to distinguish what's true and not true following the sharing of that particular episode. >> what i find interesting is you're not asking spotify to take down the episode or to cancel joe rogan, you're asking them to create a policy. so what are you looking for here? >> correct. and i think that has somehow gotten completely misconstrued by a lot of joe rogan fans, by a lot of people who are very sensitive to anything that maybe looks li

does it have the same impact now this stuff is happening on joe rogan's podcast?ve less of an impact now that we're so far into this? i mean, more so than when this was all so new, scary, uncertain? >> so i actually think that the impact of disinformation and misinformation such as is being spread on joe rorogan's podcasts cumulative. every time that another lie or twist of the truth is spread by someone like joe rogan or any social media star or influencer, it has an additive effect. i get emails from people fully on board with the science. people with ph.d.s, teachers, folks who understand how to evaluate evidence who are tremendously pro-vaccine saying to me, have you heard of so and so or so and so, people that have been featured on joe rogan's podcast. it is spreading and the problem is that once it takes hold, it becomes so much more difficult to combat. the impact of this narrative is difficult to overstate and it's going to make it much more difficult to get the remaining americans who have not yet gotten vaccinated to finally show up and get their shots i

artists have been ramping up pressure, accusing the technology giant of giving a large platform to joe rogan who often has guests on his program who question the covid science. >> rogan has gotten in trouble many, many times before and they tend to blow over. >> reporter: music legend neil young protesting the podcast and asking his [ music ] to be pulled from spotify. joni mitchell threatening to do the same prince harry and meghan markle adding to the growing list the couple has an exclusive multi-year podcast deal with the company. pod fog phi say -- spotify says the working on information with an information hub about data-driven fabcts about the guidelines. >> it's going create a platform that is safe for people, but it's not going to punish its biggest star. >> spotify waiting to see if the auc actions taken will be enough. >>> super bowl lvi is set. >> down on 31, got it, touchdown, rams. >> the rams erased a ten-point deficit and took the late lead a last chance for the 49ers, but jimmy gropp lohse pass was picked off the rams win, 20-17. for 13-year veteran quarterback matthew staff

and how big the joe rogan deal was. >> well, podcasting is only about 5% of top line right now probablynever be larger than music, but it's nice in growth engine. but the deal with rogan is for $100 million over three years. and i do think this is an attractive opportunity here. somewhat laughably that this is the ark value name, if you will. trading three times below sales and this year, i think you're going to see a nice expansion of gross margins in the mid-30s by the end of the decade. this is just the engine for the global music industry. i mean, apple music stateside, and i know there's a lot around rogan, but everybody does seem inclined to try to tamp the situation down, judging by rogan's comments yesterday it feels like he's going to play nice despite his mixed martial arts background. >> steve, do you think there could be some similarities here between spotify and netflix in terms of the way it's pulled back and then maybe the way it bounces? i guess it's not as exposed to the selling as some of the tech companies that have pulled back, because as matt just mentioned, it's go

they can have joe rogan or young -- apparently that was an easy choice.y. we go to music lovers for a response. [cheers and applause] he won't be missed. of course come the $100 million dear spotify gave rogan two years ago probably helps with that decision. $100 i will set kat on fire right now. and you don't throw away that much money unless you are leaving afghanistan. young claims his defiant stance will cost them 60% of his streaming income, although at his age, most of neil's streaming comes from flomax. if you know what that is, you are in our age group. meanwhile, biden is surgeon general seem to suggest this week that maybe joe should be censored. >> what do you think the best ways to push back on misinformation about covid that continues to be aggressively pushed, whether it be joe rogan's podcast or all over facebook? >> is not just about -- it's about companies and individuals recognizing that the only way -- we use the power that we have to limit and discredit misinformation. >> greg: that would not be a bad idea if you're into equally limiti
