Joe Rogan has suggested President Donald Trump is using ICE raids and fraud claims in Minnesota to distract people from the stalled release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

    His podcast was already big before it was on Spotify, wasn’t it?

    He rode a tidal wave of corporate sponsorship and political back scratching to land that Spotify deal. Rogan subsists on an enormous reservoir of unearned media coverage. He repays his corporate bosses by floating the turds FOX and Disney won’t touch.

      I just ran a list of all the politial comentary guests to check their standing, and it seems pretty even between right, left and libertarian left, leaning towards libertarian. I haven’t listened to him lately, but I never got the impression that he was much of a right winger from anything he has ever said on there while I was listening. Of course, I’m not interested in political interviews, so I would have avoided shows with purely political interviews… Everything he does seems to lean far left. He is a meathead and easily influenced by fad diets. But he also seems to like everyone and not sort by politics. That’s just the impression I get.

        You can only invite Elon Musk, Dave Smith, and JBP onto your show so many times before you tip your hand.

        Hell, Tulsi Gabbard gets an invite every time she launches a new campaign.
