Joe Rogan Offered $100 million to bring Show to Rumble Video Platform - RAWDOGGTV

Joe Rogan Offered $100 million to bring Show to Rumble Video Platform - RAWDOGGTV: Joe Rogan Offered $100 million to bring Show to Rumble Video Platform, Spotify won't be 'silencing' Joe Rogan amid controversy: CEO'

Rumble offers Joe Rogan $100 million to bring show to video platform

[caption id="attachment_20290" align="alignleft" width="300"]Joe Rogan Offered $100 million to bring Show to Rumble Video Platform Joe Rogan Offered $100 million to bring Show to Rumble Video Platform[/caption] Social media platform Rumble has offered Joe Rogan $100 million to bring his popular podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience” to its video platform amid controversy surrounding his show on Spotify. Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski wrote in an open letter on Monday that he stands with Rogan, who is facing blowback for COVID-19 vaccine misinformation on his show and his past use of racial slurs. “We stand with you, your guests, and your legion of fans in desire for real conversation,” Pavlovski said in his letter. Joe Rogan Offered $100 million to bring Show to Rumble Video Platform (1)“So we’d like to offer you 100 million reasons to make the world a better place. How about you bring all your shows to Rumble, both old and new, with no censorship, for 100 million bucks over four years?” he added. “This is our chance to save the world. And yes, this is totally legit,” Pavlovski said. Joe Rogan Offered $100 million to bring Show to Rumble Video Platform Rogan signed an exclusive deal with Spotify in 2020 that was reportedly worth more than $100 million and included the show’s library dating back 11 years. The former host of the TV reality series “Fear Factor” has been the center of controversy in recent weeks, forcing Spotify to defend the lucrative relationship.

Spotify won't be 'silencing' Joe Rogan amid controversy: CEO 'We don't change our policies based on one creator'

Spotify founder and CEO Daniel Ek addressed the ongoing controversy surrounding his platform's relationship with podcast titan Joe Rogan during the company's earnings call on Wednesday, as investors weigh the listening service's balancing act between allowing freedom of expression from creators and outside pressures to crack down on "misinformation." Dr. Robert Malone is the inventor of the nine original mRNA vaccine patents, which were originally filed in 1989 (including both the idea of mRNA vaccines and the original proof of principle experiments) and RNA transfection. Joe Rogan Vaccines Spotify Musicians Remove Music [caption id="attachment_4337" align="alignleft" width="300"]Joe Rogan Offered $100 million to bring Show to Rumble Video Platform Joe Rogan Offered $100 million to bring Show to Rumble Video Platform[/caption] Dr. Malone, has close to 100 peer-reviewed publications which have been cited over 12,000 times. Since January 2020, Dr. Malone has been leading a large team focused on clinical research design, drug development, computer modeling and mechanisms of action of repurposed drugs for the treatment of COVID-19. Dr. Malone is the Medical Director of The Unity Project, a group of 300 organizations across the US standing against mandated COVID vaccines for children. He is also the President of the Global Covid Summit, an organization of over 16,000 doctors and scientists committed to speaking truth to power about COVID pandemic research and treatment. “Do you really think it’s a coincidence that days after Neil Young’s music was pulled off of Spotify he debuts a 4-month free trial to any person who wants to sign up for Amazon music — who has struggled to gain market share and has long-standing connections with all of the big money people in the game?” Joe Rogan in an Instagram video Monday addressed the growing controversy surrounding his podcast — “The Joe Rogan Experience” — telling fans he’s not interested in talking to people who have only one perspective. He also said he has a problem with the term “misinformation.” Joe Rogan Offered $100 million to bring Show to Rumble Video Platform Rogan’s statement came as the streaming platform Spotify on Sunday announced new rules designed to “combat” the spread of COVID “misinformation” on its platform. The new rules came after a handful of musicians, including Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen’s guitarist Nils Lofgren and Joni Mitchell, pulled their music catalogs from Spotify, in an effort to force Spotify to choose between their music or Rogan’s podcast. Author BrenĂ© Brown also joined the protest, stating she won’t release new episodes of her Spotify-exclusive podcasts “until further notice.” Spotify last week agreed to remove Young’s music. “We have detailed content policies in place and we’ve removed over 20,000 podcast episodes related to covid-19 since the start of the pandemic,” a Spotify spokesperson told The Washington Post in a statement. “We regret Neil’s decision to remove his music from Spotify, but hope to welcome him back soon.” Saagar Enjeti, Washington correspondent at The Hill, said there could be more going on behind the scenes. Investment firms who own the music catalogs — and who also have ties to pharmaceutical companies — may be calling the shots. “The people speaking out may be doing so organically, but it also happens to coincide with the financial or oligarchic interests of some very, very rich people,” Enjeti said in a “Breaking Points” episode that took a “deep dive into the hedge funds behind the campaign by Neil Young and others to cancel Rogan and boost other music services such as Amazon music.” Rogan, Spotify’s star podcaster, signed a $100 million deal in 2020, giving the streaming service exclusive rights to his show. The podcast, available only on Spotify, reached No. 1 globally last year, the company said last month. Joe Rogan Vaccines Spotify Musicians Remove Music

What used to be misinformation, now accepted as fact

According to Rogan’s 10-minute video, his podcast was accused of “spreading dangerous misinformation,” citing specifically his interviews with Dr. Peter McCullough and one with Dr. Robert Malone.” Rogan said: “Dr. Peter McCullough is a cardiologist and he’s the most published physician in his field in history. Dr. Robert Malone owns nine patents on the creation of mRNA vaccine technology and is at least partly responsible for the creation of the technology that led to mRNA vaccines. “Both these people are very highly credentialed, very intelligent, very accomplished people and they have an opinion that’s different than the mainstream narrative. I wanted to hear what their opinion is. “I had them on and because of that those episodes, in particular, those episodes were labeled as being dangerous, they had dangerous misinformation in them.” Rogan said the issue he has with the term “misinformation” is that “many of the things we thought of as misinformation just a short while ago are now accepted as fact.” Rogan explained: “For instance, eight months ago if you said if you get vaccinated you can still catch COVID and you can still spread COVID, you would be removed from social media. They would ban you from certain platforms. Now that’s accepted as fact. “If you said, I don’t think cloth masks work, you would be banned on social media. Now that’s openly, repeatedly stated on CNN. “If you said, I think it’s possible that COVID-19 came from a lab, you would be banned from many social media platforms. Now, that’s on the cover as Newsweek.” Rogan said all of those theories that “at one point in time” were banned, were openly discussed by McCullough and Malone who were accused of spreading dangerous misinformation. Rogan said he wanted to make the video because he feels “people have a distorted perception” of what he does. “I’m not trying to promote misinformation,” Rogan said. “I’m not trying to be controversial. I’ve never tried to do anything with this podcast other than just talk to people and have interesting conversations.” Are Amazon and Hedge Funds trying to cancel Rogan? [video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://organicbodycleanse.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/The-Puppet-Masters-Portfolios.mp4"][/video] In a video posted Jan. 31 on YouTube, Enjeti said there is more than meets the eye when it comes to musicians like Young pulling their catalogs from Spotify. “The original impetus for Neil Young’s demand was a letter he posted on social media saying Spotify could either have Neil Young or Joe Rogan, but that letter was almost immediately deleted after it was posted,” Enjeti said. “Who is demanding this? Enjeti asked. “Is it Neil Young or is it the people who own his music?” Enjeti explained: “You see a recent trend in the music business it that iconic artists such a Neil Young sell their catalogs to big-money groups who then reap the profits in perpetuity. Young actually sold his catalog in Jan. 2021 to a company called Hipgnosis. Now Hipgnosis is a $1 billion company that recently announced an ownership agreement with Blackstone.” Enjeti said Blackstone is focused on taking over single-family housing and turning America into a nation of renters, but it also has interests everywhere. “Blackstone, BlackRock and these big private equity giants are ruthless in their pursuit of profits and they’re savvy political players who know how to play the game,” Enjeti said. “They have all sorts of ties to the pharmaceutical industry, including announcing the former CEO and chairman of Pfizer would be joining Blackstone as a senior advisor.” “Do you really think it’s a coincidence that days after Neil Young’s music was pulled off of Spotify he debuts a 4-month free trial to any person who wants to sign up for Amazon music — who has struggled to gain market share and has long-standing connections with all of the big money people in the game?” Enjeti asked. “Open your eyes to see possibilities you may not have imagined,” Enjeti said. “At first it was simple, just Neil Young taking a stand.” Now a lot of people with big money and a big agenda who would just so happen to profit if Rogan went down are speaking out, Enjeti added. “Joni Mitchell has come out and said she is going to stand in solidarity with Neil Young.” Mitchell on Sept. 13, 2021, struck a publishing deal with Reservoir Media, Inc. (RMI). The top 10 owners of RMI are large private equity and investment firms. Lofgren, who on Jan. 30 announced he was joining fellow musicians Mitchell and Young in their Spotify boycott, also does not own his music catalog. Lofgren’s catalog was purchased on Dec. 16, 2021, by Sony Entertainment. The top 10 owners of Sony Group Corp. are large investment firms. Enjeti said: “You give into the mob, you give them an inch, they will keep coming. Will Spotify really be able to withstand up to the pressure? Who knows? Principles are not going to save you in this instance. Only money will.” Enjeti said people better hold on to their seats and “hope that Joe prevails on this one,” as he is up against more powerful interests than many realize. New Spotify rules don’t define ‘misinformation’ As part of its new rules, Spotify said it would add a content advisory to any podcast episode discussing COVID amid accusations it was allowing misinformation to spread on its platform. The advisory will direct listeners to a “dedicated COVID-19 Hub,” which is described as a “resource that provides easy access to data-driven facts, up-to-date information as shared by scientists, physicians, academics and public health authorities around the world, as well as links to trusted sources.” Spotify said this is the first content advisory of its kind and will roll out in the next few days. The streaming giant also announced it will begin testing ways to highlight its platform rules to raise awareness around “what’s acceptable” and to help creators understand their accountability for the content they post on the platform. The statement did not say who determines what is and is not misinformation and what is considered a “trusted source.” Rogan said he supports Spotify putting a disclaimer on controversial podcasts about COVID and encouraging listeners to speak to their physicians.

On the social media front, BET AWARDS '10 will focus on digital exclusives and interactivity. There will be a 106 & PARK Pre-Show performance that will live only on digital platforms. Internet users will be able to interact with the show through such features as:

* "Shine a Light / Local Heroes," where the online audience can nominate someone who is making a difference in their community or the lives of others for an opportunity to be recognized in the BET AWARDS.

* "You Talk, We Listen," a daily poll and dialogue about what our viewers would like to see in the 2010 BET AWARDS show.

* "Who Rocked the Mic Award," where our viewers vote on the best performance from the show and the Award is presented in the 106 & PARK Post Show on Monday, June 28th.

* "W3: Who What Wear," in which users check out the 360 degree view "COVERCAM" online to vote on the best dressed celebrity from our red carpet, and an award is presented during the fashion show airing Monday, June 28th.

* "Ultimate Fan," where three contest finalists will travel to New York and appear on 106 & PARK to state their case for why they should be the BET Awards Ultimate Fan. The Ultimate Fan winner will be determined by mobile votes and the grand prize package includes a 4 day/3 night trip for two to Los Angeles where he/she will co-present the Viewer's Choice award.

BET AWARDS '10 will also kick off MUSIC MATTERS, a multi-platform network initiative showcasing groundbreaking music and talent. This campaign will focus primarily on new acts that have the potential to be the next superstar, while also highlighting some established artists.

For nearly a decade the BET AWARDS has reigned as one of the highest rated and most memorable celebrations in entertainment, rivaling all top awards shows. Having escalated each year in industry influence, A-list celebrity nominations, attendance and one-of-a-kind performances, BET AWARDS has undoubtedly established itself as the hottest ticket on television.

For last year's awards show, a record-setting number of fans tuned-in to watch what turned out to be an emotional memorial to The King of Pop, Michael Jackson. In other years, top moments like the surprise tribute performance to Al Green by Maxwell and the reuniting of legendary female R&B groups TLC, En Vogue and SWV kept viewers on the edge of their seats, along with Michael Jackson's surprise appearance during James Brown's tribute; Rick James in his final duet with Teena Marie; Will Smith presenting Muhammad Ali with the first-ever Humanitarian Award; Prince onstage backing Chaka Khan; Stevie Wonder, Yolanda Adams and India.Arie in a powerhouse tribute to Rufus' first lady of funk; Destiny's Child's steamy lap dance; and the unforgettable reunion of one of hip hop's most beloved trios, The Fugees.

BET has once again teamed with Cossette Productions, the famed producers of the GRAMMY® Awards and the nine record-setting BET AWARDS shows, to handle production of the telecast. Stephen Hill, President, Music Programming and Specials, BET Networks, along with Lynne Harris-Taylor, Vice President of Specials, BET Networks, will executive produce the telecast.
