I\u2019m not saying it\u2019s it\u2019s always going to work out fruitfully, but I am always of the mindset that engagement, and especially with someone like a Joe Rogan who is not, in my mind, an ideologue in any way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stewart went on to argue that the proof that Rogan was not an ideologue was evident in recent episode of \u201cThe Joe Rogan Experience\u201d \u2014 when his guest, Josh Szeps, had challenged something that Rogan said about the potential risk of dangerous side effects in kids who get the COVID-19 vaccine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">If anyone was going to make me look dumb on the podcast I\u2019m glad it\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/joshzepps?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@joshzepps<\/a>, because I love him, and he\u2019s awesome. <br \/>However this is why I was confused: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Yd31Hwbvqb\">https:\/\/t.co\/Yd31Hwbvqb<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/By1TLeUo94\">pic.twitter.com\/By1TLeUo94<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Joe Rogan (@joerogan) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/joerogan\/status\/1481832468651122689?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 14, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThey were talking about \u2014 I think Joe said, \u2018Myocarditis, kids shouldn\u2019t get the vaccine because it causes a higher risk of myocarditis.\u2019 And Josh said, \u2018Well, actually, getting COVID is a higher risk of myocarditis for kids, so they should get vaccinated.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The two went back and forth briefly and then they looked up the information, at which point Rogan conceded that he had <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/what-joe-rogan-got-very-right-in-his-response-to-spotify-drama-and-the-one-thing-he-got-wrong\/\">been wrong<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you are an ideologue, or if you are a dishonest person, that is the moment,\u201d Stewart continued, saying that there was a choice to be made regarding whether to accept the new information or double down. \u201cJoe just went, like, \u2018Ah, I didn\u2019t know, I didn\u2019t get that.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd that, to me, says that\u2019s a person that you can engage with. And so, I think all the overblown rhetoric about him \u2014 and here\u2019s the other thing,\u201d Stewart added. \u201cYou\u2019re a musician, like how much misinformation is spread by \u2014 like, Eric Clapton is on the platforms that you\u2019re on, and he\u2019s a f***ing psycho. Do you remove yourself from every platform?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy the way, do we only do these conversations so that I will get in trouble?\u201d Stewart asked his cohosts, who said they did.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy point is, we all exist in this world and on this planet, and there\u2019s no question that there is egregious misinformation that\u2019s purposeful and hateful and all those other things,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd that being moderated is a credit to the platforms that run them. But this overreaction to Rogan, I think is a mistake. I really do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stewart went on to say that he believed there were some real bad actors \u2014 people who were intentionally spreading misinformation \u2014 and that he was far more interested in working to expose them for what they were than he was in censoring someone like Rogan who was willing to engage with just about anyone.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
