Joe Rogan has blunt two-word reply to podcast guest backlash
Joe Rogan is well known for having a wide range of guests on his popular podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience. In fact, Rogan famously interviewed Donald Trump in the lead-up to the 2024 election and was in talks with the Kamala Harris team to bring the former VP onto his show as well, although, of course, that never panned out. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Not all of his guests are well-received by the public, though. In fact, Rogan has talked with many controversial figures in the past, and in some cases, this has gotten the podcaster in hot water with groups calling for boycotts and trying to convince Spotify to drop his contract. One of those controversial guests is Abigail Shrier, a Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute, as well as the author of Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing our Daughters, and Bad Therapy: Why the Kids Aren't Growing Up. With book titles like that, it's not hard to see why some would be upset with Rogan for giving Shrier a platform. However, the Podcaster has a blunt two-word reply to those who have tried to get Shrier (and his own show) cancelled for airing viewpoints that go against the mainstream orthodoxy on transgender and parenting issues. Image source: NBCUniversal via Getty Images Shrier appeared in an episode of The Rogan Experience, Episode #2109, and Rogan started off the show by telling the author that it was "Good to see you again." This was a reception Shrier was surprised about, as Shrier said that when she was on the show last, people tried to get the episode kicked off Spotify.

Rogan went on to explain in more detail why he felt that efforts to block Shrier's show from being broadcast were wrong, explaining, "Every time someone wants to stop discussions, they're wrong, they're wrong." While this episode aired months ago, the verified account for Joe Rogan Podcast News reposted the clip on X on July 1, 2025, bringing renewed attention to the issue of whether all guests should be welcome on the Spotify network – even those who question established medical advice on gender affirming care or the positive effects therapy and medication can have on certain children struggling with conditions like anxiety and ADHD. Rogan's defense of his decision to bring Shrier back onto his show in the reposted clip demonstrates that the comedian is simply not going to be silenced when it comes to airing a diversity of viewpoints.

In that episode, Rogan tackled the government censorship of social media networks, warning that if the government gets "a real grip" on social media, it will become impossible to protest or express yourself about things, even when they are true.

Still, as the recent Twitter post showed, Rogan isn't going to let anyone silence him, or those who he chooses to bring on as guests. And, for better or worse, he has the platform to make sure that the voices he wants people to listen to can be heard.

US votes against UN resolution over language on Russia's war
The United States voted against a U.N. General Assembly resolution on cooperation between the U.N. and the Council of Europe because of its language regarding Russia's war, according to a letter from Jonathan Shrier, acting U.S. representative to the U.N. Economic and Social Council, dated April 16. The resolution passed despite U.S. opposition, with nine countries voting against it – the United States, Russia, Belarus, Eritrea, Congo, Mali, Nicaragua, Niger, and Sudan. As U.S. President Donald Trump pushes for a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, Washington is increasingly softening its tone on Russia. Commenting on the April 16 resolution, Shrier said Washington opposed it because of repeated statements about the war in Ukraine that the U.S. considers 'unhelpful in advancing the cause of peace.' 'Maintaining international peace and security, including through the peaceful settlement of disputes, is the primary goal for which the United Nations was created,' Shrier said, adding that the U.S. supports efforts for a durable resolution of the war in Ukraine. The U.S. also criticized the resolution's endorsement of the Global Compacts on Migration and Refugees, arguing they undermine national sovereignty and fail to address the destabilizing effects of mass migration. Washington also objected to references to the 2030 Agenda and the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals, labeling them as soft global governance that could contradict U.S. interests. Earlier on Feb. 24, the U.S. voted against a UN General Assembly resolution that reaffirmed Ukraine's territorial integrity and named Russia an aggressor. Instead, the U.S. backed a separate, less confrontational resolution at the UN Security Council that avoided direct blame and called broadly for an end to the conflict. Days later, the U.S. declined to sign a WTO statement condemning Russian aggression. Ukraine and the U.S. previously agreed to a complete 30-day ceasefire during talks in Jeddah on March 11. Russia rejected the proposal unless it included concessions that would undermine Kyiv's ability to defend itself, including a full halt to foreign military aid. While U.S.-led diplomatic efforts to end the war are ongoing, Ukrainian officials say Russia continues to insist on maximalist demands and has shown little willingness to pursue a comprehensive peace agreement. Kyiv maintains it is ready for a complete ceasefire if Moscow agrees to reciprocate.
