Joe Rogan Defends Kanye’s Banned ‘Heil Hitler’ Song Amid Millions of Views on X

Joe Rogan discussed Kanye West's controversial song "Heil Hitler" on his podcast, describing it as "kinda catchy" while condemning its antisemitic content. Despite being removed from platforms like Spotify and SoundCloud, the song remains widely accessible on Elon Musk's social media site X, where it has garnered millions of views. Rogan and comedian Tom Segura debated the tension between free speech and the harmful impact of the song, recognizing that banning it might ironically increase its influence among less educated audiences. Both acknowledged the song's provocative nature as part of Kanye's trolling strategy, while also emphasizing that they do not endorse antisemitism or racism. Rogan argued there is value in allowing controversial speech to be heard, though he admitted the song's popularity is troubling. The discussion highlighted the broader challenge tech platforms face in balancing content moderation with free expression.
