Joe Rogan Suggests Jan. 6 Capitol Riot Was a Set-Up to Bring Down Donald Trump
New York Post ^ | July 31, 2023 2:57pm | Shannon Thaler

Joe Rogan suggested that the Jan. 6 Capitol riot was a set-up by the US government’s intelligence agencies to take down former President Donald Trump. “The Jan. 6 thing is bad, but also, the intelligence agencies were involved in provoking people into the Capitol Building. That’s a fact,” the controversial podcaster said during a nearly three-hour episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” on Friday.

Rogan also speculated that a 61-year-old man named Ray Epps — who found himself at the center of conspiracy theories surrounding the attack after videos showed him breaching Capitol grounds — could have been a federal agent.

“I think that every other person who was involved in Jan. 6 — who was involved in coordinating a break-in into the Capitol and then instigating people — they were all arrested. This guy wasn’t,” Rogan said of Epps, who filed a defamation suit against Fox News for a series of on-air claims that he instigated the insurrection.

And Pelosi was the instigator of J6.

Maybe he figured it out a long time ago, but was unwilling to say anything because he thought he would get sued.

Joe Rogan has a the largest audience in all of media. His shows have higher Neilson ratings than almost any other broadcast except Super Bowls. His ratings are higher than Tucker, Hannity and CNN combined.

He has a lot of influence over younger men. Especially males in their 20s-50s. This is why the MSM is concerned about things that he says. He is the biggest influencer that there is today.

yep, like my #20 response, getting the word out there is a good thing....even if the timing might be off. Like you and others said, this is a different audience who value the guy’s opinions, so getting this message to them is Gold.

My observation is that Trump actually gets alot of support from young men, for one thing I think they like the straight talk and are not easily offended, like women.

I’m not impressed with Joe Rogan.

Certainly not for his view in this regard.

The Jan6 riot was not to bring Trump down, he was on his way out.

The Jan6 riot was to interrupt the long scheduled Jan6 Special Session of Congress that could well have brought Biden down.

We can imagine the added security recommended in advance by Trump and rejected by Pelosi might have prevented any such riot.

Bring him down? The election was over. Where were they going to bring him down to?

Last year Trump did a sit down interview at Mara Lago with these four young guys that do a podcast. I had never heard of them before, but my 24 year old son said that they are very popular with young men in their teens and twenties.

I watched it on YouTube the first day it came out. The next day it was pulled from there because it put Trump in too good of light. These young guys loved Trump by the end of the interview because he is a guy's guy. A straight shooter. Not your typical BS politician.

The MSM/cable TV is panicking because they are loosing control of the message. Internet Streaming is the way ALL young people get their news. Cable TV is dead. So is broadcast TV. Just like print newspapers are dead. This is why when Joe Rogan says something it is MORE important than Sean Hannity, anyone on CNN or MSNBC or whoever is on NBC/ABC/CBS.

Gee that Rogan is so smart.
It only takes him years to figure out what we’ve known all along.

Rogan has a large audience. Hopefully his comments will cause large numbers in his audience to begin questioning conventional wisdom and media propaganda. His epiphany is a good thing, particularly coming when the Biden corruption is being revealed daily along with the side effects of the Covid vaccine.

Yes, it's a major change. Podcasts are huge for them. Listen when you want, very convenient when in the car.

It is hard to see how this was not a federally planned propaganda operation:
  1. There was an obvious need for more security that got ignored before Jan 6.
  2. President Trump offered to help secure the Capital building in anticipation of the need for more security, yet got denied
  3. The Federal government was already known to grossly interfere in politics against Trump and in favor of his opponents
  4. Video shows the "rioters" and "insurrectionists" being let inside of the building by Capital police and walking around peacefully inside
  5. The colorfully dressed "Q-Anon Shaman" was jailed up and until the time Tucker Carlson released video of how he was lead around in the building by Capital police who helped him get to the Congressional chamber. It also showed how when he was asked to leave he left without complaint, resitence or incident, being fully compliant. And then suddenly he was let go ONLY after this was shown publicly.
  6. Video that had been shown by the anti-Trump J6 committee was found to have had the sound edited with riot like noises, and the videos jumped around without giving full context--as contrasted by the video not shown which shows long periods of non-riot like wondering around in building with the apparent consent of the Capital police who were often present and sometimes even opening doors.
  7. Initial reports came out that J6 protesters had killed some capital police. These reports turned out to be false, but are still widely believed with the Federal government showing zero concern for correcting this misinformation.
  8. Only protesters were killed including Ashli Babbitt who was senselessly shot in the neck from about 6 feet away on video, which shows her helplessly stuck in a window with no easy way down such that she could very easily have been taken into custody...and the officer who senselessly killed her was cleared of wrong doing.
  9. Of course there is also Ray Epps who was actively encouraging people to invade the capital at a Trump rally the day before causing many around him to chant their suspicions that he was a "fed", who compared to people that merely walked about the Capital after being let in was miraculously not charged despite evidence of him trying to incite riot on video! Note, a couple months ago his attorney claimed he was going to be charged...after many years of him not being charged...but no charges seem to have been filed yet.

Many people knew this BEFORE jan 6. When I saw Trump’s tweet of “come to the Capitol, it’s going to be WILD” I instantly knew what was going to happen. A cluster.
