Rogan promoted the conspiracy theory that Epps was an “agent provocateur” for the feds, a baseless claim that has led to a defamation suit against Fox News.
Rogan, who signed a $200 million contract with Spotify in 2020, has repeatedly embraced the unsubstantiated claim that federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies used “agent provocateurs” such as Epps to manipulate the crowd to attack the Capitol. In past episodes, Rogan said the intelligence community had a “vested interest in this going sideways,” adding that “if somebody wanted to disparage a political party or to maybe have some sort of a justification for getting some influential person like Donald Trump offline, that would be the way they would do it.”
What a slimeball
It’s just pure gaslighting. “That time you saw Trump tell people to march down to the Capitol after telling them to “fight like hell” was totally unrelated to what happened at the Capitol a short time later.”
It is this. Trump sent his worshipers down to the capital after getting them all riled up on lies he told them. And many of his followers have mental issues and they are uneducated and ill informed. HE didn’t go with them like he said because he knew it would be violent.
I’m not pinning this on mental illness. That is a scapegoat. Plenty of people, including myself, have mental illness and don’t ever resort to any sort of thing even resembling this behavior. These are simply bad, entitled people who were angry that the universe didn’t revolve around them for once.
Were some of the people there mentally ill that day? Statistically, almost inevitably. Most of those people were not even approaching a level of mental illness where they were unaware of the consequences of their actions.
Don’t forget that he knew a substantial amount of them were armed and dangerous. His security detail told him so when he insisted they remove the magnetometers to let the armed crazy people fill in his rally more. The Jan 6 committee showed this during their hearings.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
So, it’s not Antifa but “our good ol boys being tricked by those dastardly Feds”? Why not it was the ayylmaos all along?
Aliens, commonly said that way by Mutahar (SomeOrdinaryGamers) on YouTube.
The ayylmao alien has been around since at least 2012 and definitely was not popularized by that youtube channel.
It’s a fact that Rogan is a brain-damaged conspiracy theorist
Rogan flips like a light switch. One day he’s all about the science and the next he’s got some mouth breather telling him the moon is made out of cheese.
This is fantastic advice.
Try drugs. If it’s something you’re into, you should even try a lot of drugs. But some drugs are better left alone, and by the time you get to where trying those drugs seems appealing, you should probably know which drugs you can’t handle safely. Which drugs those are is different for everybody, but getting to know yourself is at least half the point of trying drugs in the first place, so be safe and don’t get too addicted (and buy a testing kit, especially if you’re buying street drugs)

He’s playing both sides. Like any corporation, the goal is money. He knows there’s money to be had from the right. He might be trying to get that tucker Carlson demo. Bringing in interesting guests like scientist, philosophers, etc. Just keeps the general public from leaving outright.
And his fans will eat this shit up too. Shameful, just shameful.
Some of his fans will try to defend him and say he’s being stupid and you’re not supposed to listen to him, ignoring all the people who will.
I haven’t heard this, but I HAVE heard how he ISN’T stupid.
Because you see, you couldn’t have the #1 podcast in the world if you were stupid.
You couldn’t have the #1 podcast on the world unless it was truthful.
I’ve had more than one person explain this to me to defend their newly acquired anti Vax stances a la Rogan podcast.
