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 find Rogan interesting. I agree with some of his stuff, but certainly not all of his stuff.
His position on this just seems bizarre.
What an IGNORAMOUS!
Poor Joe strayed a bit. Time to bow down to his masters.
I don’t get the whole “Joe Rogan” thing. The guy just doesn’t seem very intelligent at all.
It is not a theory, it is a fact. They openly boast about it. It also isn't much of a secret network anymore. The Cheney family, just to name one example, have outed themselves.
Rogan confuses the value of institutional knowledge with the self-appointed, assumption of power beyond that of our elected officials.
There’s a difference between an experienced politician like Mitch McConnell or an openly serving FBI official and people like Susan Rice and Valerie Jarrett who are in power and in control without being elected or appointed and without any accountability whatsoever. No, we don’t need the deep state.
And, by the way, we could do without McConnell and that FBI official, too.
As a dog returneth to its vomit....
Also Rogan: "The deep state is totally cool!"
I find him to be foul mouthed. I listen to none of his stuff.
Everyone knows that the smelly people that shop at wal-mart need the intelligentsia to look out for us...
If anyone is “in charge” but not answerable to the people…then there’s a problem.
“”the deep state” - a conspiracy theory peddled by Donald Trump and his followers”
Yeah just like the Hunter Biden laptop “conspiracy theory” just like the Obama spying “conspiracy theory” just like the Joe Biden will raise fuel costs through the roof if elected “conspiracy theory”.
Joe has not taken near enough red pills. He has no idea what the deep state really is. He thinks it’s just the behind-the-scenes, good, hard-working federal and state employees who keep things ticking. Joe is being very green, possible under instruction to do so. I like to think he’s brighter than this, but I could be wrong.
Wow.
Wow.
He cannot see the forest for the trees. He doesn't see that the bloated federal government (career politicians and career intelligence agencies, the same ones deciding what is best for the proles and engaging in abuses of all stripes) corrupted, partisan (if not politically, to their own wallets) and voting itself more money and getting bigger and more invasive each day, answerable to NOBODY is the biggest threat to this Republic.
Just...wow.
I’m 100% unimpressed with Rogan.
I have watched one of his earlier comedy routines which I hated, and watched several of his interviews, in which I liked his style of interviewing.
But...this.
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?
Rogan thinks he can make everybody happy. He’ll lose support on both sides.
