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.

    I occasionally put on old episodes at work and it’s insane how different he is. Used to have very progressive views while still exercising the ability to think critically on informations and events. Now every episode is flagged for misinformation, and he’s constantly dropping the word “woke” as if to test the waters with each guest, practically leaping out of his jeans to go on another anti-woke tangent. He’s become completely consumed by it. I suppose this is what’s bound to happen when you repeatedly surround yourself with morons like Eddie Bravo and Alex Jones.

      The second he platformed Alex Jones, it should have been the end for Rogan. That should have destroyed any and all goodwill. But not only did it not do that, he’s brought on Jones more than once and his fans love it. Has Rogan even condemned Jones after he lost his case in Texas? I haven’t heard anything about it. I haven’t heard any condemnation before that either. They seem to be close compadres. It’s disgusting.

        They’ve both been co-opted by the ones they sought out to fight in the first place: The super wealthy

        Consumed by greed and success they don’t know how to stop.

        Nope. Alex Jones straight up turned on Rogan, said terrible things about him on Infowars. Not only did Rogan not hear about it, because he doesn’t watch infowars, he went back on his show.

        Then again, Rogan was a guest on Infowars on 9/11, so maybe we shouldn’t be that surprised.
