Joe Rogan is in big trouble after defaming anti-Semitism on his popular podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience. On a recent show with Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti, the host made a comment about Jews not caring about money and then called it “stupid”. He also made a silly comparison to Italians’ dislike of pizza, calling it “dumb fu * king.”
All of this follows Rogan’s comments to Congressman Ilhan Omar’s 2019 tweet claiming Israel’s supporters in the US are motivated purely for money, in which he stated:
“This is crazy. Do you see him next to Ilhan Omar, who is apologizing for saying it’s all about the Benjamins family? It’s all about money. She is discussing money. It’s not an anti-Semitic comment in my opinion. “Benjamin is the currency.”
Following the announcement, Krystal Ball felt that Omar should apologize for his post, adding:
“But can’t you talk about the power of money in DC? I mean, there’s a very clear reason why there’s been a one-party deal with the Israeli government all my life.”
The statements of the presenter and his guests did not go well with netizens, who have criticized them online:
“This is unforgivable,” said the netizen in response to Joe Rogan’s anti-Semitic remarks.
Recently, when podcast star Joe Rogan made some anti-Semitic statements on his show, he faced a wave of criticism from online users. Many social media users called the event “indefensible” and responded to it on Twitter. Check out some of these tweets:

.@joerogan said that “the idea that Jews are not greedy for money is ridiculous. That’s like saying Italians don’t like pizza” would make sense if Jews invented money and/or Italians were massacred for a conspiracy that they controlled the world through pizza. pic.twitter.com/odzZzFHIYG

For now, neither Rogan nor any of his recent guests have commented or apologized for the remarks made on the broadcast. Furthermore, the 55-year-old previously said a few episodes ago that he gave up on “noticing the comments” for his show a long time ago, adding:
“Listen, I admire you two. I simply cannot read your ***.
While social media was crowded with individuals demanding an apology from Joe Rogan and the guests, it was unclear if the three responded to the outrage.
A quick look at Joe Rogan and his history with scandals.
This isn’t the first time Rogan has gotten in trouble for some of his publicly available views; podcaster has been involved in a number of issues throughout his multi-year career. Last year, in one of his podcast episodes, he repeatedly used the N-word, drawing widespread condemnation from celebrities and social media users. Finally, the 55-year-old podcaster apologized for his comment. However, he argued that the clip was “taken out of context”. He also made headlines a while ago when it was reported that Rogan was spreading misinformation about COVID-19 and vaccines. As a result, musicians like Neil Young removed their songs from Spotify.
