Joe Rogan likes to consider himself so smart and informed.

He’s like Carson. Genuinely curious, asks good questions and knows how to keep a conversation going. He has never struck me as (and goes out his way to avoid) claiming intelligence.

You sound like a tribalist who’s never listened to anything more than sculpted soundbites.

Joe Rogan likes to consider himself so smart and informed. If that’s the case, why did it take him over 4 years to reach the suspicion we reached within months?

There were a lot of people who didn't want to believe the shadow government elites in this country were as evil as they were. People are coming around... and I am glad Rogan has come around with the platform and audience he has. It only helps us.

Benz was on Shawn Ryan today too.

And on Tucker the day before that.
