Podcaster Joe Rogan took a swipe at Joy Behar after "The View" co-host claimed he believes in dragons. Rogan contends Behar's comments are symbolic of a dying media, flailing wildly at anything and everything in the hopes that they can slow their demise.

The incident in question occurred last week when Behar, having done little research, made a wild claim about his alleged belief in dragons. She did so after insisting "The View" could be taken more seriously based on the backing of ABC, a legitimate source of news in her mind. 

Rogan fired back at that assertion, insisting Behar negated her own claim by then speculating on something she knew very little about. Which is essentially what the entire panel on that show does all day, every day.

“This is the most important part," Rogan told his guests. "This is right after she was saying, ‘We are run by ABC News, you should trust us,’ not Joe Rogan, who believes in dragons.’"

"So by saying we should trust them because they’re double-checked by ABC News and then making the stupidest f**king statement — You didn’t listen to what I said, you didn’t listen to what the wildlife biologist said."

@joerogan hits back at @JoyBehar.

Rogan would go on to point out that there is “no hate for Joy Behar," and he would probably give her a hug if they ever ran into each other in person. 

But he did suggest that Behar's comment is another sign of the media wildly taking shots at people they disagree with politically and hoping it sticks. 

“When you’re worried about losing your job, and you’re worried about podcasts taking over and who is the source of news and, ‘We said Donald Trump is Hitler, but half the country disagreed with us, and this is crazy, and Joe Rogan believes in dragons!’ It’s just frantic,” Rogan surmised.

The new media entity teased Behar earlier this week by changing his X bio to "dragon believer."

For those unsure of how this wild back and forth started, Rogan had a guest on his show named Forrest Galante, a wildlife biologist. And in a conversational style the "Joe Rogan Experience" is known for, the two bantered back and forth about the potential existence of dragons.

Rogan's end of the conversation involved ancient cultures seeing things like Komodo dragons and embellishing their appearance in tales back home.

“My position is it’s probably crocodiles or some big Komodo dragon or some big lizard that did kill people, and so people fought them with swords and s**t, and they came back with a story, and the artist drew it,” he clarified this week.

That stance morphed into Behar telling a gullible audience, "We went from Walter Cronkite, basically, to this guy Joe Rogan who believes in dragons. I checked it.”

Oh, well, if she checked it, then who are any of us to argue?

“It undermines your own personal credibility if you say we’re so good because we’re supported by ABC News and then you (say) Joe Rogan believes in dragons in the next sentence,” the former "Fear Factor" host explained.

Rogan mocked the mainstream media after the presidential election, saying they are hemorrhaging viewers because people are looking at the information they are putting out and concluding, "You guys are out of touch, you're not accurate, you're delusional."

They are, in fact, all three of those things. Even people who believe in dragons can see that.
