Hollywood star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson voiced his support for Joe Rogan after the famed podcaster said he will change his coronavirus messaging strategy after Spotify announced its new “content advisory” rule.
In a statement on Sunday, Spotify CEO and co-founder Daniel Ek said the company will do more to “provide balance and access to widely-accepted information” for the coronavirus by adding a content advisory notice to any program that discusses issues with the pandemic.
“These are rules of the road to guide all of our creators — from those we work with exclusively to those whose work is shared across multiple platforms,” Ek said in a statement. “It’s become clear to me that we have an obligation to do more to provide balance and access to widely-accepted information from the medical and scientific communities guiding us through this unprecedented time.”
In response, Rogan said that he supported Spotify’s decision and that he would try to include more establishment voices in contrast to his more controversial guests like Dr. Robert Malone and Alex Berenson.
One of things Spotify wants to do, that I agree with, is that at the beginning of these controversial podcasts—specifically the ones about COVID—is to put a disclaimer and say that you should speak with your physician and that these people and the opinions that they express are contrary to the opinions of the consensus of experts, which I think is very important. Sure. Have that on there. I’m very happy with that.
Commenting on the video, Dwayne Johnson said Rogan’s response was “perfectly articulated” and offered to have a drink soon.
“Great stuff here brother. Perfectly articulated. Look forward to coming on one day and breaking out the tequila with you,” he said.

Shameful.
Rogan is a coward.
That is how deep his understanding of his First Amendment rights are.
Consensus of the experts...
Hey Rogaine, you really think your appeasement will work? you are a fool.
That actually could be a win. I'd like to see Joe Rogan get FauXi on his show. Although FauXi is an expert slimey weasel, I expect that Rogan would nail him on several of his contradictions.
Just like when he had the 'establishment voice' from CNN (Dr. Gupta?) who Rogan exposed as a liar.
You are right. Rogan is spineless. He thinks he is good now but just wait, a scalp is what the left demands and this “disclaimer” won’t be good enough.
The article is a lie. Spotify puts a warning on his show with respect to Covid.
Rogan isn’t changing anything.
Just what we need, more "establishment voices", never mind that the establishment has lied to us and caused the loss of many lives.
Joe Rogan has been cowed into submission.
Moo.
I wonder how good his contract with Spotify is?
America was a great idea, while it lasted.
I’m sorry for Joe Rogan.
et tu Joe??? et tu? just damn...
I miss Trumps testosterone tweets.
I sure Rogan has an open invitation for Fauci, Francis Collins and Ralph Baric to set the record straight on Covid.
If by coward you mean by letting an alternative view by gov official news then. Then, No he is not a coward. He is generally a genius. Can not wait for all the liberals to sign up for his show.
They will bumble talk like biden. It will be so apparent to all. he just needs to let them talk.
He’s a pothead. How many brave potheads have you ever known?
I watched Rogan say it tonight on War Room clip. He most certainly caved.😠
This is what Rush Limbaugh, Ronald Reagan and thinking people have fought against for decades. Equal time? That comes next. If you don’t give equal time and credence to opposing views, you SHALL NOT PASS. The entirety of the MSM is opposed to the views Rogan presented. THAT is how free speech works. Equal access to the public square, doesn’t mean turn over YOUR microphone to them.
He talks about regularly putting a hoodie on and slinking away from his security duty while getting paid.
Hello!
Well I don’t listen to him. He’s totally dependent on profanity. Three hours? No.
