<p>As the last several months have evidenced, the Left is on mission to silence <a href="https://www.sportskeeda.com/mma/news-ufc-news-joe-rogan-seemingly-millions-listeners-tucker-carlson-fox-news-cnn">highly popular</a> podcast host Joe Rogan.</p>
<p>For the Left, Rogan needs to be silenced, not because he&#8217;s &#8220;offensive,&#8221; or &#8220;dangerous,&#8221; but because he rejects their new, ever-shifting Overton window; instead, Rogan has on guests who are interesting and share ideas outside of the &#8220;mainstream&#8221; — which, by the way, typically align with those of tens of millions of Americans.</p>
<p>And the campaign to delegitimize and shut up Rogan has been relentless, mostly because of his reach, which is an <a href="https://www.sportskeeda.com/mma/news-ufc-news-joe-rogan-seemingly-millions-listeners-tucker-carlson-fox-news-cnn">estimated</a> 11 million listeners per podcast.</p>
<p>Cable news has deceivingly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/don-lemon-doubles-down-on-joe-rogan-horse-dewormer-claim-gets-slammed-lying-encouraged-at-cnn">framed</a> the host as a dumb jock who takes &#8220;horse dewormer,&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/just-in-spotify-to-pull-neil-young-music-after-ultimatum-letter-demanding-rogan-be-removed">out-of-their-prime musicians</a> have pulled their music from Spotify demanding Rogan&#8217;s deplatforming, CNN&#8217;s Brian Stelter has fulfilled his obligatory <a href="https://twitter.com/brianstelter/status/1490042366044119041">smears</a> under the guise of Keeping The Media Accountable, accusations of murder have been flippantly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/sharon-stone-says-joe-rogans-an-ahole-who-personally-caused-losses-of-lives-brags-about-work-with-dr-fauci">hurled</a>, and the White House has all but explicitly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/psaki-urges-spotify-to-take-more-action-against-joe-rogan">called</a> for Rogan to be censored.</p>
<p>But Rogan is bigger than the mob — whether he recognizes it or not.</p>
<p>Not a single one of Rogan&#8217;s listeners will abandon him over the smears. They&#8217;ve spent hours and hours with the host and know he&#8217;s a decent, earnest guy who is genuinely interested in other people&#8217;s experiences and their knowledge. He wants to find truth, he wants to learn, and he wants to have fun. That&#8217;s it.</p>
<p>His massive audience will follow him wherever he goes. It doesn&#8217;t matter if Spotify deplatforms him, which is increasingly looking to be on the horizon.</p>
<p>The host can start his own platform if he wants — or go to a new company that values free speech.</p>
<p>The only thing that is truly a threat to Rogan is if the host gives the Left too much credit. As a liberal guy himself, he doesn&#8217;t have the same understanding conservatives have about the roots of cancel culture. His detractors are not even close to being offended or outraged or scandalized or worried about &#8220;misinformation&#8221; — they simply want him shut up for platforming or espousing views they do not agree with.</p>
<p>So they will stop at nothing to cancel him. <em>Nothing</em>.</p>
<p>Jesse Kelly <a href="https://twitter.com/JesseKellyDC/status/1490024409939255306">highlighted</a> it perfectly: &#8220;Joe Rogan seems like a really decent guy. But we are not in decent times.&#8221;</p>
<p>And the Left are not operating honestly.</p>
<p>Offering apologies and concessions, or changing what makes his show so special — <em>a balance against the mainstream</em> — is all that will separate Rogan from his fans.</p>
<p>So, Joe, you don&#8217;t need to apologize.</p>
