JL;DR SUMMARY Joe Rogan's decision to host Ian Carroll, an antisemitic conspiracy theorist, on his podcast has sparked significant backlash, highlighting concerns over the normalization of antisemitism.

"Rogan, whose lucrative podcast has more than 14 million subscribers, faced backlash on Wednesday for hosting a friendly discussion with Ian Carroll, a self-described journalist with a sizable following who has frequently spread antisemitic conspiracy theories claiming that Israel did 9/11 and that the U.S. is controlled by a Zionist mafia, among other baseless assertions."

"Elsewhere in the discussion, Carroll also rehashed the debunked Pizzagate conspiracy theory, which imagined a child sex-ring linked to Democrats run from a pizza parlor in Washington, claiming a cover-up."
Gaza, Palestinian Territories
"Whats interesting is you can talk about this now, post-Oct. 7, post-Gaza, Rogan mused in response to such claims. "

Florida, United States
"Armin Langer, a visiting assistant professor at the University of Floridas Center for European Studies who specializes in contemporary antisemitism, said Rogans choice to host Carroll without challenging his antisemitic conspiracy myths reflects a troubling trend where podcasters amplify hate speech under the guise of free speech."
Washington DC, United States
"What we are seeing now, Jon Lewis, a research fellow at George Washington Universitys Program on Extremism, told JI, is the end result of a yearslong effort to create a permissive environment for antisemitism and racism, driven by brain-rotted, bad-faith actors who now have their hands on the levers of power."
