Rogan also took the mainstream media to task for their apparent failure to cover former Vice President Joe Biden's "cognitive decline." Rogan made his remarks about Biden's gaffes and mental lapses during an interview with evolutionary biologist Bret Weinstein.
"Sometimes people get really tongue-tied, and panic under pressure and words come out all f***ed up," Rogan said. "That is possible. But there's a trend."
"And if you go back to when he was a younger man, that trend didn't exist," Rogan said of the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate. "You're seeing a change. And the idea that as you get older, you become less comfortable with the media, less comfortable with speaking publicly, that doesn't jive with me. That doesn't make any sense."
Weinstein, who is often named as one of the members of the "Intellectual Dark Web," replied, "I agree with you. I see a decline."
"But irrespective of what that is, Joe Biden is an influence peddler," Weinstein continued. "He's not an idea guy, right? He's the same idea as Hillary Clinton in a different morphology."
In April, Rogan compared Biden to a 3-year-old and President Donald Trump to boxing legend Mike Tyson.
"It shows you how crazy the system is that they wanted him," Rogan said on his podcast. "That they wanted Biden to be their guy, that they don't, they can't admit that he's in cognitive decline. I mean, it's very strange."
On Saturday, "Joe Rogan" was a trending topic on Twitter for his face mask comment, remarks about Biden, and because an old video of Rogan was resurfaced. In the video from 2011, fellow comedian Joey Diaz talks about exchanging stand-up stage appearances for sexual favors on Rogan's podcast.
Many users were contacting Spotify to try to have Rogan canceled. In May, Rogan signed a contract with Spotify worth an estimated $100 million.
Many people on Twitter, including Steven Crowder, were doubtful that Rogan would be canceled for the latest "controversy."
