A post shared on Facebook claims radio show host Howard Stern lost nearly a million subscribers following his interview with 2024 Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris.

Verdict: False

The claim is false and originates from the “America – Love It Or Leave It” Facebook page, which is satirical.

Fact Check:

Harris said she “[believes] Trump has this desire to be a dictator” during her interview with Stern, according to the Daily Beast. Harris also said Trump is “manipulated by flattery” from world leaders such as Russian President Vladimir Putin, the outlet reported.

The Facebook post claims Stern lost nearly a million subscribers following his interview with Harris. “Howard Stern lost nearly a million subscribers within an hour of his ‘big interview’ with Kamala: ‘It was nothing but softballs,’” the post, which does not provide a source to support the claim, reads.

The claim is false and originates from the “America – Love It Or Leave It” Facebook page, which is satirical. According to its bio, the page is “a subsidiary of the America’s Last Line of Defense [ALLOD] network of trollery. Nothing on this page is real.” The page also bears a “Satire/Parody” label.

Likewise, Check Your Fact did not find the claim referenced on Stern’s website or his verified social media accounts. Harris also does not appear to have publicly commented on the claim. (RELATED: Walz Claims Trump Is ‘Asking For A Nationwide Abortion Ban’)

In addition, Check Your Fact found no credible news reports to support the claim. Actually, the opposite is true. On Oct. 11, Snopes debunked the claim, tracing its origin to the same satirical Facebook page.

Although the claim is false, Stern conducted a “live, exclusive interview on SiriusXM” with Harris. The interview drew criticism from 2024 Republican nominee and former President Donald Trump, who called Stern a “beta male” and accused him of asking “softball questions,” according to The Hill.

Check Your Fact has contacted Stern for comment.
