Actual America's Voice
Former Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon fumed on Wednesday over Joe Rogan’s declaration that Donald Trump just isn't welcome on his standard podcast, sulking that the ex-president doesn’t want Rogan’s “low-information” listeners anyway.
In an interview with fellow podcast host Lex Fridman earlier this week, Rogan revealed that he’d shot down a number of provides for Trump to look on The Joe Rogan Expertise, including that he's personally “not a Trump supporter in any approach, form, or type.” Rogan, who has develop into a cult hero amongst conservatives lately, flatly stated that he’s “not thinking about serving to” Trump politically.
Bannon didn't take too kindly to Rogan’s full rejection of the disgraced twice-impeached former president.
Throughout Wednesday’s broadcast of his Struggle Room: Pandemic program, which airs on little-watched fringe channel Actual America’s Voice, Bannon started grumbling to former Trump marketing campaign adviser Steve Cortes about Rogan’s Trump snub.
“You realize Joe Rogan’s trash-talking Trump—the place’s Joe Rogan taking the hundred million dollars blood cash from Spotify?” Bannon ranted, invoking the UFC commentator’s profitable contract with the streaming large.
“The place is he about Spotify placing this man’s rap movies up and creating wealth off it,” he continued, referencing the Highland Park shooter’s movies that have been posted on the platform. “Why didn’t they notify the police? Why?!”
Bannon, who's at the moment preventing contempt prices for ignoring the Jan. 6 Home committee’s subpoena, then centered his power again on Rogan.
“And you bought Joe Rogan over there, trash-talking Trump. ‘I don’t give Trump any platform.’ No offense. He doesn’t want your platform. He doesn’t want your low-information voters,” he blared concerning the constitution member of the so-called Mental Darkish Net.
“Trump offers with high-information folks. Your viewers couldn’t deal with Struggle Room—couldn’t comply with it. Begin speaking inverted yield curve, your eyes would cross,” Bannon bizarrely concluded. “So, you recognize, don’t trash speak after which take cash from Spotify when Spotify is a part of the issue.”
Bannon’s shot at Rogan, who lately backed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for president, comes amid a rising rift in right-wing media over the upcoming 2024 election. With Trump reportedly on the verge of formally asserting one other bid for the White Home, many conservatives are breaking with the ex-president over the damaging Jan. 6 hearings and getting behind the ultra-conservative DeSantis because the GOP presidential nominee.
