Joe Rogan voiced his support for "the deep state" - a conspiracy theory peddled by Donald Trump and his followers that refers to a secret network of career politicians and federal agents - on a Saturday episode of his podcast, "The Joe Rogan Experience."
In an interview with former CIA officer Mike Baker, Rogan made his case. "One of the things that the tinfoil-hat brigade likes to talk about is the deep state," he said.
"They always like to talk about the deep state. What I was saying is, what if we didn't have a deep state?" he continued. "Do you know how f-ed we would be if we didn't have career politicians and career intelligence agencies? People who are there for a long period of time who do understand it."
Rogan argued that President Joe Biden exemplifies the need for a government staffed by several experienced civil servants.
"Listen, I've disrespected Joe Biden enough, I don't think I should do it anymore," he stated. "I've said enough about him being mentally incompetent. He's just compromised, he's an old guy. We know, everyone knows, the guy is falling apart."
If Biden was the sole person in charge, Rogan said, his administration would become a dictatorship.
"But imagine if he really was the only say in how things run, and how things go? If he really was a dictator," he proposed. "We would be beyond f-ed!"

I would suggest that his 12/31/21 interview with Dr. Robert Malone is must-watch stuff. Malone is one of the guys involved with the patents on mRNA technology and his opinions on the vaxes and the politics are solid.
And I watch very little of Rogan, mostly a curated snippet here and there. I think I’ve watched/listened to one other complete show. Maybe Jordan Peterson?

Jack of all nowledge Master of none is Rogan
He can talk about anything but he’s infected a bit with gene x upbringing in the north
Freepers are so old like me we just don’t understand how insidious the culture has been since the Jetsons
People get incrementally a bit more woke and we boomers were bad enough considering how we grew up as well
Now millenials and Xers are deluged with it
I like his interviews though he lets folks speak
When he goes off the rails I just hit the volume or look for another something to watch
It’s like listening to Shapiro who I like for his staccato tongue but I disagree with half what he says
Levin I’ve just turned off.for years now ...no thank u
Mike Baker is way too slippery ....don’t know why Rogan has him on
Bingo
Rogan is playing with fire. This stinks of appeasement. Let’s see if he continues to have guests talking the truth about the vax.
Almost as bizarre as Coulter’s insane 180 on Trump.
Personally, I am a conspiracy realist.
It appears Joe Rogan doesn’t really understand what the Deep State really is.
To put it candidly, this article shows Joe Rogan to be quite the simple-minded fool.
“Did he not just admit in his own words that the “Deep State” does exist, composed of (in his exact words) “career politicians and career intelligence agencies”, which he thinks is a good thing?”
That’s how I read it.
I’m so happy to have never listened to one syllable Joe Rogan has spoken. However, I am totally committed to Steve Bannon.
Exactly Godebert
What does well is interview. Cause he has plenty time and doesn’t interrupt his guests and he’s likable
But few topics can he go past dilletante
He’s ok though just a libertarian with little culture war appreciation unless it hits him personally like recently
Which he survived ....we can learn from that
Like Kid Rock said on Tucker
Don’t be beholden to woke master in media or corporate and he brace enough to say F off to the knitters
>>We NEED term limits and age limits
More so for the permanent bureaucracy than the elected officials.
Did he talk about tripping on ayahuasca? Like he does ad nauseum? Has good guests on and then talks about getting high.
His show is super boring. Unless you are into drugs like a 20 year old dipshit.
This is the appeal of his show.
He’s kind of a nitwit who asks questions most uninformed people would ask and let’s his guests — on either side — make their case to educate him. It’s the purest form of free speech in a sense…
He just toasted his career.
For those you you who questioned my suspicion of Rogan recently, you have some ‘splainin’ to do.
No, both
I am not a Rogan follower. But it seems to me that he basically did one thing right in pointing out that the emperor was naked. Beyond that, what has he accomplished? He said that we need a “few” DSs who know how things work. There are about 3 Million Fed employees. If only 10% of them have set up a racket to work and control the govt to THEIR wishes, it would explain why nothing ever gets fixed; the Deep State doesn’t WANT it fixed.
Lefty gonna lefty. Gotta love the freepers who have been gushing over this guy. Same as the freepers creaming their jeans over tulsi.
Anyone who has to continually drop four letter words into their conversation is not very bright.
I feel like I am watching the smurfs the way guys like Rogan use the f word. It’s a noun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition, etc. When one word makes up a quarter of your sentence structure it gets hard to tell what you are trying to say. It’s a stupid and self defeating habit for someone whose job is communication. At least “thing” and “stuff” are generally confined to nouns.
He is sprinkling way too much of those crystals on his breakfast cereal.....
I am good with both, but for many, there’s a focus on the electeds to the exclusion of the problem with the permanent bureaucracy.
So in Rogan’s mind the ‘deep state’ is the dictator and the elected are simply the puppets? So sad! The human mind is such a terrible thing to waste!
