In this YouTube video, Rob Moore reacts to news that Joe Roganās Spotify contract is reportedly worth $200 million rather than $100 million. Moore frames the deal as a victory for free speech, arguing that Rogan represents the people against a hostile mainstream/legacy media that seeks to censor dissenting voices. He denounces the āGreat Resetā and āNew World Order,ā claims that legacy outlets like the BBC are biased and losing viewership, and warns that attempts to silence Rogan would amount to silencing the public. Moore also references a conversation with Simon Cowell about declining TV audiences, mentions Neil Youngās music being removed and reinstated on Spotify, and uses the moment to promote his own upcoming NFTs, urging viewers to share the video and support uncensored speech. The tone is conversational, polemical, and promotional, with a strong proāRogan, antiācensorship sentiment.

So news has just emerged that the Joe Rogan Spotify deal wasn't $100 million. It was in fact apparently $200 million. This is going to upset a lot of people, and I've got something to say about this. I'm going to keep it short and sweet. So, um, look, a lot of people are going to say $200 million is far too much for any one person, but right now Joe Rogan represents freedom and the people, and the mainstream media, the legacy media, represents the enemy, in my opinion, if you value your freedom. Not just your freedom of speech, but your freedom, because your freedom starts with your freedom to speak. When you don't have your freedom to speak, you don't have your freedom. What is it they're saying? Own nothing and be happy. I stand against that. I do not accept owning nothing and being happy. We have property rights. We have ownership rights and we must fight for them. So quick one, I stand by Joe Rogan and I love the fact, I love the fact that he got $200 million from Spotify. I don't want a penny of it.
I'm not jealous. Okay, I've got the Disruptors Podcast. I've done nearly 1,000 episodes. Spotify didn't pay me $200 million. I'm not, but I'm not jealous. I'm not.
I love it.
I love it.
Why? Because it was impossible for him to get canceled. If he was on Spotify and he got paid $2 by Spotify, I believe Spotify probably would have got rid of him.
But because they paid him now not $100 million but $200 million, they're stuck with him.
Sorry, Neil Young. Oh, did you hear Neil Young's music slipped back onto Spotify. Oh, go and make a big song and dance, it's Joe Rogan or me.
Get rid of Joe Rogan because he's misinformed and he's dangerous. Let's all cancel Joe Rogan.
Oh, wait a minute, I lost 60% of my royalties. Oh, I think I'll be quiet for a few days and then we'll just slip my music back in.
No apology.
I mean, wow. So look, at the moment, mainstream media are trying to take Joe Rogan down. So Joe Rogan represents you if you stand for freedom, freedom of speech, fighting against censorship. Because if they take Joe Rogan down and they censor Joe Rogan, they censor us all. So it's Joe Rogan representing the people against mainstream media. Now, um, a quote that someone said to me very recently, which I love, which is fear screams loudest when it's dying. And mainstream media is dying. Simon Cowell told me, uh, I met him at a charity ball, and you know, he used to have 25 million primetime viewers of his, um, you know, reality, um, talent shows, and it's gone down now to what, 1.5, 1.8 million. Mainstream media can get 500,000 or 600,000 views where it used to get 5 or 10 million views. It's dying. And so the only way that they can gain some kind of control, because they're scared and they're screaming, is to try and silence people like Joe Rogan, try and shame him, accuse him of being a racist, create some mashup which misrepresents him, accuse him of misinformation. And it's just nonsense. It's nonsense. And when I saw not $100 million, the deal with Joe Rogan, but $200 million, I was like, boom, power to Joe Rogan, power to the people, mainstream media. Anyway, I've got to go. I'm launching my NFTs soon. I don't know if you've seen. Look, I've got some of them here. Anyway, I've got to get out of here. Please share this. Let's stand for freedom of speech. Let's stand for no censorship. Let's stand against mainstream media trying to censor and trying to control and trying to fact-check us. If it was balanced, fine, but it's not balanced. BBC used to be the one great British media institution. Of balance and non-bias.
Now it's totally biased.
At the bottom of the BBC website, the BBC fact-checker, i.e., the gods of BBC who decree what's true and not true. Nonsense. So hit the share button. Good on you, Joe. Keep doing what you do. And let's make sure that we don't succumb to the New World Order, we don't succumb to the Great Reset. We stand for freedom of speech. I mean, all the stuff that's going on in Canada, it's outrageous. It's totalitarianism. But that's another video for another day. Hit the share button. I've got to get out of here. Thanks for following my work, and let me know what you think in the comments. 200 mil for a podcast, not bad going, Joe. That's the true free market. That's what being an entrepreneur and a creator is all about. And now we all have a voice. Get yourself a microphone and have a say, and stand up for free speech, and stand up for non-censorship, and fight for the people. Fight for yourself. Hit the share button. Thanks for tuning in.
