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.

    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.

        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.

          Yep, I’m honestly guilty of it as well, I like some of the guests he has on their for their stories. Usually I just watch the little clips of them at most.

        Moral of the story, don’t do all the drugs kids!

          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 an attention whore. He says whatever gets him the most response but I think he’s sufficiently brain damaged to believe it in the moment, which is why he seems genuine.

      He’s basically the character he played on News Radio, except with an audience and too much money.

      Of course he’s brain damaged, this is the kind of political discourse that comes from a.guy who gets kicked in the head for fun.
