āWe went šfrom Walter Kronkite, basicalļ·ŗly, to this guy Joe Rogan, who believes in dragons,ā Behar said incredulously.
āI checked it,ā she continues, āand he also believes that dragons, I dunno, like dinosaur-y type of anšimals, roamed the Earth when people did.
āSo this is the type of really, realź¦ly bad infoš¼rmation that is going out there,ā she concluded.
Rogan didnāt take the attempted barb too seriously.

āThink of all these different cultures, ancient, medieval Europe, Cļ·½hina, Japan, all of them had dragons, thereās so many dragons, it might have been a real thing, and I think most of them didnāt have dragons that could spit fire either, I think that was like a Hollywood movie, Godzilla-type deal,ā he added.
