Breaking news! Joe Rogan's just been offered $100 million to leave Spotify. I have the offer letter here. Joe, I offer you half a billion to come on the Disruptor Show. So breaking news right now is that Joe Rogan's been offered $100 million to leave Spotify. Um, it's from a YouTube competitor video site you may have heard of. And I'm going to read you the letter. Now, if you've been tuning into my videos and you've been watching anything online, how can you miss the saga with Joe Rogan, Spotify, Neil Young, other artists, mainstream media, and trying to cancel Joe Rogan? It started with a couple of scientists and episodes, uh, which were not mainstream about apparent misinformation of COVID And it's grown into a massive cancel push on Joe Rogan. I've made my feelings very clear. I'll summarize them so that you know in case you haven't watched any of my videos. But the CEO of Rumble— now Rumble is a competitor to YouTube which claims to have no censorship and full freedom of speech. And a lot of people who've been kicked off of YouTube or canceled from other social media channels, they post now, uh, and use Rumble as a replacement to YouTube. Um, now let me just read you some stats here real quick before I read you the letter. So Rumble is a Canadian online video platform headquartered in Toronto. Um, it was founded in 2013 by Chris Pavlovsky, uh, and the monthly user has rapidly grown from July 2020 1.6 million monthly users to 31.9 million users end of 2021. So in 18 months, Rumble has gone from 1.6 million users to 31.9 million users. I'm getting asked to offer the 100 mil. I'm going to read you the letter. Apparently it's a legitimate offer. Um, now I want to talk to you about Rumble though, because a lot of people on my content, when I talk about when I got banned from YouTube and can't say or anything like that. Um, a lot of people say to me that I should go and use Rumble, and Rumble is this— I guess you could call it more underground, but it doesn't want to be underground. It's a— sees itself as a competitor to YouTube. Yes, I have an account on Rumble. I have only just started posting, um, on Rumble because there's obviously some controversial stuff there, and I had to look at did I want to be aligned there. Um, but You know, watch this space for that. But if you're getting canceled for saying the C word, the V word, the L word, or the P word on Facebook— maybe not so much. I find YouTube is certainly more of a cancel push than Facebook, I found. But many people who watch my videos, they're like, whoa, you can't say anything on any of the social channels. You know, I've had definitely rooms and lives shadow banned for putting the P word, the L word, the C word, or the V word in the um, in the title, uh, or I've definitely seen where I've said it. Now I— now it's a cough because I can't even say it. Um, and of course this has all created a great head of steam. So let me read you the letter. Um, and this letter is from the CEO of Rumble, uh, Chris Pavlovski. Joe Rogan, The Joe Rogan Experience. Dear Joe, We stand with you, your guests, and your legion of fans in desire for real conversation. So we'd like to offer you 100 million reasons to make the world a better place. How about you bring all your shows to Rumble, both old and new, with no censorship for 100 million bucks over 4 years? This is our chance to save the world. And yes, this is totally legit. Sincerely, Chris Pavlovsky, CEO Rumble. So what are your thoughts about that? Let me know in the comments. This has just broken in the last hour or so, obviously a bit later if you're watching the recording. So, um, my thoughts. Number one is I don't know if that's a legit offer. Do Rumble have $100 million? Not sure. Is it a way to lure him in and maybe they'll pay him in installments? Um, but you know, maybe Joe has to seriously think now about leaving Spotify. A lot of people were talking about Spotify deleting up to about 100 episodes, and they were judging and calling out that Spotify had taken them down. And I thought, until you know the facts, you should wait. Now, according to Daniel Ek, the CEO of Spotify, he said that Joe Rogan agreed to take down, you know, up to 100 episodes. I haven't actually seen a statement from Joe Rogan or Spotify. Now, I don't normally give us too much interest in these wider issues that maybe wouldn't affect us. But this does affect us. This absolutely affects us. Because if Spotify have pulled the lever on Joe and got Joe to take some episodes down, that's the start of their sponsoring of him, uh, their censoring of him. They've already sponsored him $100 million. Um, and, uh, if, if Spotify are levering Joe to not interview certain guests and get rid of 100 episodes. They're doing that because they're being levered by mainstream media or other artists who are threatening to come off. And, you know, Neil Young was the guy that started the avalanche, if you like. And then, of course, in a very timely fashion, all of a sudden there was that mashup N-word that came out of Joe Rogan. Apparently, the sources of the people behind that mashup video have been— have done other mashup shaming videos before. So that was interesting. Apparently some of the language that Joe used, this was from content 5, 10, 12 years ago. Why has it only surfaced right now? And it definitely makes you wonder who's behind the scenes pulling the strings. Now, quite frankly, I don't care who's behind the scenes pulling the strings. Is it mainstream media? I don't know. Is it, um, you know, a few artists, um, songwriters, etc., who are maybe being controlled behind by mainstream media. I don't know. But the point is, if Joe Rogan gets canceled and his shows get deleted, then that is the start of the end of freedom of speech. Now, some people say there is no freedom of speech, and other people say, well, there is still. But, you know, if podcasting is really one of the only media left where you can speak without censorship, Rumble are obviously in the game saying, come to Rumble because you can speak without censorship. And here's what's interesting: in the last 18 months, Rumble have gone from 1.5-odd million to over 31 million in users. Why is that? That is because there's censorship on YouTube, there's censorship on social media platforms. So actually, Rumble have really benefited from this. So I actually think— let's say, do you think it's a legit offer, by the way? I doubt Rumble got $100 million in loose change, liquid pocket money they just want to chuck to Joe Rogan. If it's a publicity stunt, it's a good one, because actually the message behind it I really like. Let's say Chris Pavlovsky, CEO of Rumble, has only got 37 pence or $100 million, um, cents or a fiver. I don't care, because what he's saying is we stand for freedom of speech. And Rumbles, part of what they are is a freedom of speech platform. And I've been banging on about this for the last week. If you've not watched any of my content or shared any of my content, you need to do that now. Because if we don't stand up for Joe Rogan and Spotify, or more Joe Rogan than Spotify, or Joe Rogan against being canceled by Spotify and Spotify against being canceled by mainstream media, If we don't stand up for that, then, um, then we just allow our freedom and our liberty to be taken and controlled by whoever the powers are. Now, um, I, I didn't think that Spotify would, um, let Joe Rogan go. They paid $100 million for him, uh, and I can imagine they paid most of that, if not all of it, upfront, and they bought his entire back catalog. And, you know, they, they need that, those assets, because he has, what, 200 million listeners a month? I've seen more and less quoted. So I did, I thought that they would fight, but, you know, there's some upset within Spotify. And, um, you know, I think probably mainstream media feel like Joe Rogan's got a bit too much freedom, a bit too much voice, bit too much power. They don't really like it. Now, in my previous lives, I said a quote which I really love, which I think really sums this up. And I think you should share it after I say this because, um, this is really relevant, I think, to dying mainstream media. Fear screams loudest when it's dying. Let me say that again: fear screams loudest when it's dying. And mainstream media is dying. I know Simon Cowell, I know the figures. He used to get mainstream media 25 million viewers. Now a Simon Cowell show, you know, a talent show, will get 1.5 million viewers. Breakfast TV in the UK used to get 6 million plus viewers. I'm told by someone who's on it regularly, they're like a few hundred thousand now, maybe half a million. Mainstream media is dying. And a pretty humble, pretty funny guy who loves a bit of martial arts and loves to get stoned and loves to take hallucinogenics and loves to talk about health and fitness has 200 million downloads or whatever a month. Now you should be really excited about that. You should. I believe— this is my opinion, of course, and you can disagree or, or agree. Let me know what you think in the comments. But I believe it's exciting that an individual who's essentially an ordinary person, not a mainstream media corporation, just expressing their own views and creating, you know, pretty useful content and speaking somewhat for the people, I think that we should support that. Uh, so yeah, hit the share button if you think that this is something that we need to stand for. So if Joe Rogan gets canceled, then when does it stop? If Joe Rogan, the biggest podcaster in the world, can get canceled, then any other podcast can get canceled when they say the C-word, the V-word, the L-word, or the P-word. Don't you dare say— or vaccine on a YouTube video, on a live, or on social media. And what— someone doesn't like us, they go, cancel them, misinformation, disinformation, check the facts, cancel them. Or Spotify, it's me or them. And basically someone with, you know, more of an influence or more money or more power can essentially get anyone canceled if Joe Rogan gets canceled. Now I don't know the discussion between Spotify and Joe Rogan? Did Joe Rogan offer to delete these 100 episodes, or did Spotify basically say, you've got to delete these 100 episodes? Hmm. So David Goggins, he did a very interesting response, and he says, the reason I don't have any sponsors and any partners is because I want to say what the fuck I want. You know what David Goggins is like. Now, to a certain degree, Joe Rogan sold his soul. He sold his soul for $100 million. Now, I bet he didn't think he was at time, and I think he probably thought he still got full creative expression. I don't knock him for that. If someone offered you 100 mil for your podcast, bet you'd take it. I'd freaking take it. Spotify, if you want to buy Disruptors for 100 million, I'm in the game. If you need a new Joe Rogan replacement, come to Daddy. Oh, by the way, Joe, if you're getting offered 100 million by Rumble, I'll offer you 500 billion to come on the Disruptors Show. But let me just, um, in case you're just tuning in, because I can see that more and more people are tuning in, um, the CEO of Rumble, the freedom of speech non-censorship challenger and competitor of YouTube, um, has written to Joe Rogan. And it says, Joe Rogan, The Joe Rogan Experience, dear Joe, we stand with you, your guests, and your legion of fans in in desire for real conversation. So we'd like to offer you 100 million reasons to make the world a better place. How about you bring all your shows to Rumble, both old and new, with no censorship, for $100 million over 4 years? This is our chance to save the world together. And yes, this is totally legit. So he's pretty— said it's totally legit. I guess he probably will want to talk about the payment plan option rather than the all-upfront option, but I really like this. I really like this because I think it's smart marketing. At the very least, it's disruptive. You'd want a platform like a challenger to YouTube, which stands up for free speech, which stands up for the people, which stands against censorship. You'd want them to be a bit creative, a bit disruptive, a bit guerrilla in their marketing campaign. So whether this is legit or not, I love what is behind it. I love the opportunism and the guerrilla disruptive marketing. Do you think it's legit, by the way? I mean, You know, you kind of can't really put an offer on the— well, maybe you can put an offer on the table and it's not legit, but if you say it's totally legit, you've got to make you think it's legit. So, um, let me know what you think in the comments. This is not over. And you know what, I initially commented on day one when this happened, when it was— a lot of people were thinking it was just a bit of a storm in a teacup. Oh, it's only a couple of scientists, it's only a couple of episodes, oh, it'll blow over. Um, Spotify admitted that, you know, maybe they didn't act quick enough on it. But I think they did. I think Spotify now published their policy on content, and they're putting a disclaimer now at the start of content that might have COVID and other information. And I think that's enough. What else do they need to do? You know, put a bloody, like, alarm system every time there's the word? What are they going to do, get people to go and filter through the millions of gigabytes of data and information that they've got? No, they're not. That's ridiculous. Spotify say that they're not a publisher, they're a platform, and I agree, they're a platform for content. The content should be the responsibility of the publisher, not necessarily the platform. Obviously, other than, you know, if it's abuse or hate speech or inciting violence or anything like that, there is of course this line on freedom of speech. Where do you think that line is? Someone said this is all staged. I can't see how this is all staged. I did. I thought that both apologies by Joe were very humble. I think that a lot of people could learn from the humility of Joe Rogan. Certainly the people that are trying to cancel him don't seem to be humble at all. You know, don't throw stones in glass houses comes to mind. All these people, you know, really accusing Joe Rogan of being a racist and, you know, inciting misinformation and maybe even potentially causing death. Well, I bet anyone could create a mashup video on you. So let me know what you think in the comments. Hit the share button. Breaking news: Rumble have just written to Joe Rogan, the Rumbleist, this kind of challenger video channel to YouTube, offering him $100 million to leave Spotify and go over to, um, Rumble over a 4-year period. Maybe that's a payment plan. Um, I have this feeling like Spotify and maybe needing to distance themselves from Joe. I have a feeling like Spotify getting a massive amount of pressure internally and externally. I have a feeling that this could get a lot worse before it gets better. And let me say it one more time: fear screams loudest when it's dying. Mainstream media is dying. Their viewership is down 94, 95%. From 10, 15 years ago. They don't control the narrative anymore like they used to. The people don't trust mainstream media and whoever's pulling the strings. Some people say it's not called mainstream media anymore, but it's called legacy media because it used to be and now it isn't. And I'm a real fan of you having a voice and me having a voice and Joe having a voice and all of us having a microphone and the decentralization of information and the decentralization of which is the opposite of globalization and totalitarianism. And to fight this New World Order, to fight this Great Reset, to getting rid of the middle class and the small business and own nothing and be happy, and, you know, get rid of all of these apparent things that are going on in the world— I can't speak for those, but a lot of people in my comments reckon that this is all going on— the way that you fight for that is for fighting for your freedom of speech. And the way you fight for your freedom of speech is you fight for Joe Rogan's freedom of speech because he is one of the biggest creators in the world with, you know, 200 million users. Let me know what you think in the comments. Hit the share button. Is this letter legit? Um, did he really get a $100 million offer from Chris Pavlovsky, CEO of Rumble? It looks like it, and I'm interested to see how it goes on. And I think you should continue to support the cause. You are not fighting for Joe Rogan's freedom of speech, you are fighting for everybody's freedom of speech. And why do the mainstream media want Joe Rogan? Why do governments want Joe Rogan if he's offering a narrative that they don't like? Now, previously they had so much power they could just threaten someone, or they could just, you know, no one had a voice, so they could just print whatever they wanted and it would— that was— that just went everywhere and no, no one's voice was in the narrative, and now it is. And now little old people like me can get hundreds of thousands of views talking about this. Is this a positive thing, this push for decentralization of information? You know, because we're not really in a democracy, are we? And, you know, we the people put the people in power in power, and we the people have to hold those people accountable. So if we want true decentralization of information and decentralization of control, Step 1 is the First Amendment. It is freedom of speech. Thanks everyone. Hit the share button and let me know what you think in the comments. Let's get this discussion going. Let's get some support out there for Joe Rogan and a bit of Spotify. You know, they've got to run a business. They've got a commercial venture. They've had billions hit on their share price. I have a lot of sympathy. It mustn't be easy for them. You know, they backed the horse and they put a lot of money on this one horse. And now a lot of people are shooting at this horse. Well, do they carry on backing this horse? Um, let me read you the letter one more time. Um, Rumble, uh, the founder— CEO, sorry— of Rumble, Chris Pavlovsky, has written to Joe Rogan. Rumble is a challenger content platform to YouTube which, um, claims it has full freedom of speech and, um, no censorship. Dear Joe, we stand with you, your guests, and your legion of fans in the desire for real conversation, so we'd like to offer you 100 million reasons to make the world a better place. How about you bring all of your shows to Rumble, both old and new, with no censorship for $100 million over 4 years? This is our chance to save the world, and yes, this is totally, totally legit. Sincerely, Chris Pavlovsky, CEO of Rumble. Fear screams loudest when it's dying. Mainstream media is dying. Rumble's grown from 1.6 million to 31.9 million users in 18 months. I bet most of those users are from YouTube. And remember, if you don't risk anything, you risk everything.
