Joe Rogan has issued a withering response after The View hosts claimed the public can’t trust him like they can trust them.
The ABC News stars lamented on Thursday that social media has opened the way for alternative news sources that are not fact-checked before publication.
‘I think that that’s why people like our show, because they know that we are checked by ABC News,’ Joy Behar said. ‘We went from Walter Cronkite, to this guy, Joe Rogan, who believes in dragons.’
Rogan was quick to respond to Behar, writing on X that he would take on the title of ‘dragon believer.’
‘That’s my new official X description,’ Rogan said. Indeed, the podcaster changed his X description to ‘Dragon Believer.’
Behar was referencing comments by Rogan earlier this month, when he said he believes that dragons roamed the earth.
Rogan said: ‘You know what I’m really fascinated with, is things that existed, like only in myth, but that every culture has — like dragons.’

While he admitted that fire-breathing dragons probably never existed, Rogan added that there probably was a ‘really dangerous reptile that that they called dragons.’
‘The question is whether they actually flew,’ Rogan pondered.
The hosts of The View have been theorizing about why Donald trump won the presidential election in recent weeks.
In the aftermath of the election, Sunny Hostin even deleted her X account in what she describes as a ‘patriotic’ protest against owner Elon Musk.
The talk show host told the Behind The Table podcast that Musk had made the platform worse.
‘Elon Musk took it over and I feel like he ruined it,’ Hostin, 56, explained.
ABC News executives are reportedly actively searching for a conservative, pro-Trump voice to join the panel after its stars all backed Vice President Kamala Harris for president.
The talk show – co-hosted by liberals Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin and Sara Haines as well as Republican Trump critics Ana Navarro and Alyssa Farah Griffin – featured the vice president in an episode just one month ahead of the election.

All six of the panelists endorsed Harris in the presidential election, with some hitting out at the president-elect
Then, just one day after Trump’s victory, the panelists dressed in all black as if they were attending a funeral.
ABC News Group President Debra OConnell and ABC News boss Almin Karamehmedovic are holding sit-down meetings with executive producers and other senior editorial leaders to address its coverage, the New York Post reports.
It is primarily focusing on The View, unidentified sources said.
The source went on to note that all six of the current panelists endorsed Harris in the presidential election.
‘They lost. They are out of touch with America,’ the insider said, noting: ‘For a show about different perspectives, The View doesn’t seem to have any when it comes to Trump’ and ABC News executives ‘don’t want to alienate the pro-Trump demographic’ as they try to maintain the show’s ratings and advertising revenue.
‘At the end of the day, these changes aren’t about politics. They are about economics,’ the source explained. ‘Trump got more than half of the vote.
‘TV networks need to find pro-Trump voices and diversify viewpoints to reflect the various perspectives of Americans.’
