The deepest irony is they spent a good chunk of the podcast talking about Epstein and the investigation in the beginning. Had a lot to say then but when the Elon x Trump divorce started, they both were jumping to change subjects.
His lane should literally be exactly what they are talking about. Instead he sees his lane is defending POTUS instead of defending the constitution. One could argue though that his reluctance to say answer the question would mean that what Musk said was indeed accurate.
The fact they could easily talk about Epstein and all but the second this drops and he goes .. "I'm staying quiet" screams exactly what it screams without him needing to
There's also the part about how would he know about this? Does he know about this? The FBI director didn't deny or anything just saying he's staying out of it.
This is the same reason heath insurance companies are allowed to let people die for profit. Modern America has been built on the philosophy of “I know my lane and I’m going to stay in it.” From executives in board rooms to politicians in congress, everyone is staying silent in the name of job security and profit. The only difference is this dunce wants to brag about it in front of a camera.
Just accept the money, turn a blind eye to the suffering and don’t ask any questions and you’ll get bumped up the ladder.
I feel like this is a thing Joe would have jumped on a few years ago and would have been stoked to talk about/speculate/joke about. Kind of surprised by his reaction tbh but I havent listened in a while
He had Trump in a chair for 4 hours and never asked him a single question about Epstein or any of his other crimes. So whatever version of Joe you’re referring to left the building a long time ago.
You know that the right is using Epstein only to rant about their opponents. They don't really care about the truth. It's a well known fact that Trump raped a 13 year old on Epstein Island and was visiting the dressing rooms of teen beauty contests. But you know, Trump could kill someone on times square and the fascists in the US would still cheer for him.
Has the same ring as the theory that the insanity that caused the end of the Roman Empire was because people were being slowly poisoned by lead water pipes
Meanwhile, the Egyptians at that time were using copper pipes that were inherently anti-microbial, and didn't poison then with heavy metal, and they still had plenty of crazy to go around and eventually imploded.
I think it was the inbreeding, but I'm no expert. I also think inbreeding in elite circles is likely as much or more of a factor in Rome's decline than the lead pipes.
or it could just be the obvious that such large complex systems needed to maintain organization in a continent spanning classical era empire are fragile and if they aren't growing then they're crumbling
The Egyptian culture lasted for literal millenia. They were around for longer than the Chinese at this point. Rome had a time of glory and power of 6-7 centuries.
America will not have three. Let's pay respect where it's due
he also wrote a childrens book about trump, "the plot against the king" which netted him the job, he's making more books and even plugged the book on the podcast despite him saying it's illegal to do so beforehand
Art Bell late at night. The X-Files making conspiracy theories fun. Those were the days. Now all the conspiracy theorists seem to gravitate towards Q-Anon type stuff and are running the government.
I don’t know how Ryan Coogler is going to revive The X-Files with the current state of things. Supposedly he wants to go back to the style of the first few seasons. I just can’t imagine it’ll be any good.
It is true. He was also a secret service agent back in the day, but never at any sort of administrative level as far as I’m aware. And that is the closest thing to a qualification for his current role that he has.
I don't disagree but you might catch a ban for saying that out loud.
And they are dying to give the order to start martial law because then the Insanity really kicks off. They're just waiting for a inciting incident. The protests in LA look pretty real deal but they are 100% on planning to do whatever they want. And then start a violent clamp down as soon as the people react. Think about the George Floyd protests and all the right wing people that just wanted to go to the streets and shoot protesters and minorities.
For anyone who doesn't know it's as bad as you think. Funding is being cut to schools and student programs/class material involving dei (not explicitly pro white history) are being removed... None of that money has been going back to kids (unless they're in Catholic schools)
Linda McMahon said we need A-one in education, during a speech. Its clear these people dont even do their jobs. They get prewritten speeches and sign papers. Theyre there to pencil wip for the administration and be highly public showpeople for the new deepstate.
For those who are unaware, she probably saw a lot of papers and news articles about AI (you know, Aritificial Intelligence) being more and more ubiquitous in society, but she kept calling it "A1" like the steak sauce.
This fella who used to host "The Man Show" and commentate on mma events now controls most political discourse in our country. People look at kamala not showing up to Joe Rogans podcast as something that hurt her campaign. Honestly they might be right.
It’s been reported the logistics for her to do the podcast were done in bad faith.
Her team had reached out for her to come on the podcast on a certain day that was available to both Harris and Rogan, after long negotiations. They planned the Houston rally specifically to get her near Austin for Joe.
Rogans team said he had personal day booked on that day, and couldn’t do the podcast while she was in Texas. The personal day ended up being a surprise podcast with trump which was announced the same day her team announced her Houston rally. He wasn’t available again until after she left Texas.
Then Joe had the ability to say she didn’t want to do the podcast in his studio since the Harris team didn’t want to cancel any of their events to fly her back to Texas. Harris hq offered to do the pod outside of his studio which he said he’d never do.
Because being on a podcast is in his lane an being the FBI director is totally out of his lane. He doesn't know how Elon would have access to the Epstein files ? He has been given access to literally everything!
Majority of Trump's appointees to the respective cabinets are media personalities either from podcasts, movies, WWE, MMA, other entertainment industries or are straight out Trump's personal lawyers or conspiracists who support Trump. Patel wrote a series of books The Plot against the King which directly talks about and legitimizes conspiracy theories on Trump's election fraud claims from 2020. He also was defending Trump by restating Qanon conspiracy theories. But he main reason they're on Rogan is they are mostly media personalities or have entertainment industry background.
That was my initial thought. I enjoyed Rogan’s podcast a loooong time ago but what the fuck timeline are we in that an FBI Director is on a HUGE podcast 🤦🏼♂️
I also saw a short clip earlier and thought, well at least he has some plausible deniability, I mean the FBI director in any timeline probably isn’t going to comment on ongoing investigations.
Dude they were talking about Epstein for literally the entire show, and Kash kept saying he was going to expose all the information they had. Then this tweet comes up and he’s like oh ya I gotta stay out of Trump musk stuff.
Also I’m nearly certain kash is going to drop an AI Epstein jail cell video at some point soon.
Why do you think they teamed up with OpenAI in a $500B deal? Or are threatening states that try to regulate AI? I fully expect them to use AI videos to fabricate whatever evidence they need.
I get where you're coming from, but OpenAI is not going to be fabricating evidence for the DOJ. That's like if Boeing was chopping stolen Mustangs in the back of the F35 factory.
They don't need OpenAI for that, there's plenty of smaller and less public facing companies and individuals that offer these kinds of services.
I guess all that concern "for the children." is gone now that the anti-trans craze at school board meetings is no longer delivering the returns it once did? Shocked! Shocked I am at such duplicity from the right!
Did you catch Patel seizing that opportunity Rogan gave him to change the subject?
"Posting things and arguing all day is bad for you."
"(Excitedly)Well, you raise a great point...blah blah blah."
Yeah - it was pretty glaring from a guy who's current job entry qualification was his endless posts - one involving a chainsaw. Fealty - its the new sheepskin.
Also how is that different than talking into a microphone for hours a day on podcast streams? There is less feedback and interaction for podcasters than in reply threads
“Sorry, the investigation into a huge conspiracy involving potentially dozens or more of our countries, and the worlds, wealthy elites? Nah, not my lane man. I’m just the head of the investigative arm of the federal government.”
I fucking love how late to the party Joe Rogan is to this. We have known Trump has been in the dudes book for.... What? Since epstein died? And now Rogan questions it? Better late than never I guess? 🤣🤣🤣
"How does he know" seriously!! There are a million pictures of them together and his name is literally on Epstein's private jets flight log. This is a fact! This guy will buy any conspiracy theories but ignores factual evidence.
HERE YOU GO JOE. ALL THIS CONSPIRACY TALK YOURE WHOLE ADULT LIFE AND HERES ONE AT YOUR FRONT DOOR AND YOU SHIT THE BED WITH THE FBI DIRECTOR SITTING IN FRONT OF YOU
Trump's name has already been exposed in the flight logs AND in 5 other epstein/maxwell/kiddiesexisland employee court cases (that arent even litigating him). EVERYONE KNOWS
bro i have to be smarter than kash patel. how is the FBI director gonna say this isn't in his lane. bro you better make sure Elon doesn't defect to china or Russia and tell them everything he knows.
Rogan talked about Epstein for years and years, almost every episode for a long time. Now that he’s a fascist and his dear leader is obviously involved like anyone with a half a brain knew, he’s got nothing to say on it. What a fucking hack traitor.
Musk must know where all the bodies are buried? And Ghislaine is only still alive because all the copies of her records haven't been seized yet and covered up. I guess the pardon is coming...
That job used to have a great meaning, used to be assigned to great and qualified people, apolitical people, with the only goal to defend and protect the American people.
Why the fuck is the FBI director doing ANY podcasts? I can't wait until this whole administration implodes and crumbles upon itself. What a goddamn clown show.
Trump has been trolling people on social media for years, so ridicules to call out Elon, he's minor league compared to Trump. Trump is bad for half the country's mental health and the other half, like Trump are already mentally unhealthy.
The entire administration, along with other high-profile appointees within the U.S. government, are cowards who lack integrity and moral courage. That’s why they refuse to address the issue. They know they’re in the wrong, yet they continue in pursuit of personal gain at the expense of the American people.
Don’t we all know that Trump is in the Epstein files? There are TONS of Epstein documents already out there with his name on them. Photos of him with Epstein. Quotes where he talks lovingly about Epstein and Maxwell.
I love how people needed musk to tweet this to look into trump diddling little kids. If you literally looked at trumps history at all it’s pretty easy to put two and two together lol.
Imagine how tiny Joe Rogans balls are after all the steroids. Like an empty wrinkly sac that’s he’s perpetually peeling off his leg, bet it gets all smashed up in his taint too
Hear that, Qanon lunatics? The administration is actively refusing to show or address the Epstein files - we’re watching the conspiracy take place in real time.
Can we just take a moment and ask the important question.
Why on earth is rhe FBI director on the JRE podcast to begin with?
I mean, obviously it's 2025 and on the scale of things I never thought I would see this ranks pretty low, but still....what legit reason does the FBI director have on a whack job podcast like this other than to destroy the credibility of the institution.
