Joe Rogan Experience  

Anyone else say *HOLY SHIT* in their head when they saw who the guest was? 😂

Watching this on my neighbors wifi while wearing a ski mask

This man is an American hero yet so many people have been brainwashed to think of him as the enemy.

I got chills when he said “I was waiting for a hero but there are no hero’s, only heroic decisions” You are a true hero Edward Snowden. The world needs more people like you and Joe Rogan in it. Thank you

Joe: sober for 3 weeks Finds edward snowden

Who goes to jail when you break the law? You do. Who goes to jail when you catch the government breaking the law? Still you.

Love how Joe is quiet for Edward instead of interrupting/talking over with more questions like he usually does. This allows the speaker to keep their train of thought and shows respect.

Man I am not American but you definitely restored my trust in humanity that people like you exist. Hats off

Snowden’s voice is so asmr, never felt more relaxed while learning about the death of my freedom.

I can‘t be the only one who saw this and said out loud: „holy shit! is this for real?!“

Came across this video only now, 3 years later.... what an insightful conversation, listened to the whole thing in 1 go. Years passed but the things he talks about are even more important now than ever....

00:11 📣 Edward Snowden talks about his professional life and public speaking engagements, not having a RU-vid channel. 01:11 📚 Snowden's book "Permanent Record" discusses government and technology changes post-9/11. 06:22 🕵 Snowden reveals his involvement in exposing global mass surveillance in 2013. 14:02 ⚖ Snowden emphasizes the need for checks and balances in government surveillance programs. 22:03 🎓 Snowden's background growing up in a federal family and early education in technology. 22:56 🌍 Edward Snowden discusses how he started working in web design in 1998. 25:37 💼 After 9/11, the NSA and CIA evacuated their campuses due to the lack of information sharing among intelligence agencies. 30:03 🧳 The government's response to 9/11 led to the erosion of traditional constitutional restraints on intelligence agencies. 37:12 🤝 Information sharing could have prevented 9/11, but competition between intelligence agencies hindered cooperation. 44:27 😟 In times of fear, people become vulnerable to leaders promising solutions, even if they may not have the ability to deliver them. 46:35 🎖 Edward Snowden volunteered to join the army but had to leave due to shin splints and bilateral tibial fractures. 50:23 💼 Snowden worked at the University of Maryland with basic security clearance, applied for a security guard position, and saw an opportunity to combine IT skills with a top-secret security clearance. 54:55 💻 He later worked for Dell as a senior technical official for the CIA, pitching a private cloud system to the government. 57:06 🌐 Snowden was trained to become a diplomat working as a tech expert in Geneva, Switzerland, for the CIA. 01:04:16 🤔 Snowden observed ethical concerns in intelligence work, particularly in human intelligence operations, which raised doubts about his work. 01:10:28 🕵‍♂ Edward Snowden reveals his role in conducting "dirty word searches" to uncover classified information. 01:12:16 📜 Stellar Wind, a domestic mass surveillance program, was exposed in 2005 and caused a scandal. 01:13:37 📜 Congress passed the Protect America Act in 2007, retroactively immunizing phone companies involved in warrantless wiretapping. 01:18:07 📜 The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Amendments of 2008 expanded intelligence community powers in response to scandals. 01:22:14 🕵‍♂ Edward Snowden discovered a classified Inspector General's report that revealed senior officials' involvement in undermining American rights. 01:35:37 📱 Technology connecting people is unprecedented and powerful, but it raises concerns about privacy and surveillance. 01:36:33 🕵 Cellphone companies, in collaboration with the government, can gather and store your calls, texts, and emails, potentially using them against you. 01:37:00 📜 The rapid growth of technology and surveillance raises questions about the legality of these actions, which may violate constitutional rights. 01:37:55 🕵 Whistleblowers play a crucial role in revealing government secrets, as legal channels often fail to address privacy and surveillance concerns. 01:53:32 🌐 Collaboration among individuals, journalists, and whistleblowers is essential to establish a body of evidence that can expose government wrongdoing. 01:58:27 🗽 Edward Snowden discusses the importance of surveillance programs in national security. 01:59:39 ⚖ Presidents often delay addressing surveillance program issues, claiming they need more time to fix them. 02:00:32 🦎 The "deep state" is the career government, not a conspiracy, and they give consistent, fear-inducing briefings to presidents. 02:03:14 🇺🇸 The American presidency has too much power and responsibility compared to other advanced democracies. 02:09:24 🌍 Edward Snowden's life in exile in Russia and his views on the Russian government and its treatment of opposition figures. 02:21:59 🌍 The world's future deteriorates with silence on injustices; making a difference requires heroic decisions, not waiting for heroes. 02:25:05 📱 Mobile devices, especially smartphones, pose significant privacy risks due to constant connections, even when seemingly inactive. 02:27:46 🗂 Data collection is pervasive, with companies and governments collecting and storing information, eroding privacy. 02:34:57 🔒 While personal mitigation strategies exist, the complexity of modern technology makes complete privacy difficult to achieve. 02:40:00 💰 Data became valuable before people fully understood its implications, making it challenging to reverse surveillance practices. 02:45:32 ⚖ A legal case from the 1970s set a precedent that personal records held by companies don't require a warrant for government access. 02:46:14 📑 This precedent allowed the government to argue that records held by companies, like phone records, don't have Fourth Amendment protection, granting them easier access. 02:46:28 🌐 This legal interpretation was established before the internet and smartphones, impacting modern society's privacy in unforeseen ways.

This dude spoke for 3 hours straight and didn't take a sip of water

Snowden must be the first person who read the terms and conditions page.

Mr. Edward Snowden is a real hero. He sacrificed his life for everybody. He had nothing to gain and everything to lose. He did right thing, and he was very professional about it. He deserves a full pardon, and an apology. Thank Mr. Snowden for having the courage and intelligence to do the right thing.

Edward Snowden, what a guy. He's been misrepresented as the enemy, when he absolutely isn't. Glad JRE let him on the podcast to speak!

Anyone else just read the title and think “holy shit”

This dude is straight up savage the only account he follows on Twitter is NSA😂😂

When you add this video to a watchlist, you yourself go on one too lol

First Joe Rogan episode that I listen to in my life

Joe Rogan gonna end up interviewing El Chapo with Joey Diaz as a translator.

"When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."

We were no longer partner to government. We were subject to government. What a powerful statement.

True American hero. They save people like Brittany griner who actually commit foreign crimes. But yet this man is shunned and exiled from the country he loves and tried to save.

"The NSA is watching everything you do." *Jamie pull that up*

Me: shuts off phone after watching. Asks phone “are you really off?” Phone: “...yes”

Courageous man. Anybody can go along with injustice and millions do everyday you need people like him in this world who speak up against whats wrong.

Edward Snowden is absolutely an American Hero. A Patriot.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

This is the longest Rogan has ever gone without talking

I really appreciated Joe Rogan's cameo in this podcast

Thank you for the informative video. I always prioritize diversifying my investments and never invest my entire savings in one specific type or area.

2.45 AM in India. Snowden I respect your bravery, your work inspired me to always do the RIGHT thing instead of falling onto the idea of country, state,religion etc. Joe you are a legend to bring a platform to such people. My life has drastically improved after watching JRE, got to know about so many wonderful things. From Navy seals to weird scientist, I learn from everyone and applied a lot in my life. Feeling humble Thankyou Mr. Joe rogan.

I like how Joe just sat back and let us watch the first episode of "Snowed In with Snowden"

I think this interview set a record for the least Joe Rogan has ever talked.

The fact that Joe barely talks is amazing. He actually let's his guest talk about the subject they came on to talk about. Hats off to you Joe. Great Host!!!!

Rogan is great at reading the person and letting them talk, but still getting the information we want to hear. Well done.

Snowden: * stops talking * Me: Looks to see if I accidentally pressed pause.

I've never heard Joe be so quiet.

I cannot agree more with his definition of loyalty.

I cannot believe that Rogan let him talk that long 😂 😂

“The scandal is not that they break the law, its that they don’t have to break the law. “

When Joe Rogan has more connections than the FBI.

We need this guy back now more than ever!!!

This man is a true in the full extent of the word, a true hero. Unfortunately and very sadly I don't think his efforts have stopped it from happening

"If I wanted to be safe, I would have stayed in Hawaii, getting paid a hell of a lot of money to spy on all of you."

This is probably the least Joe has ever talked in an interview.

This is my bench mark now for stuff like this, a few weeks ago I was having a bass lesson in a tiny room at the back of a music school and I randomly mentioned stuff that gets forgotten and my teacher said oh yeah I remember seeing some chocolate bars years ago but I haven seen them for years. The next day my teacher said he saw and advert for them on his phone.

“All the biggest lies have a bit of truth in them.”

"You haven't read my book? No need! Chapter 1..."

“The more a society drifts from the truth, the more they hate those who speak it” -George Orwell

JR can we get a follow up interview?

Thanks Joe for giving Edward an outlet, he's a good guy put into an insanely unfair situation. A wise ruler or president would commend this man and rectify the situation

"Patriotism is not about a loyalty to to government. Patriotism in fact is not about loyalty to anything. Patriotism is a constant effort to do good for the people of your country"

I've never heard Joe be this quiet. He's like dead silent listening to Ed.

Mr. Snowdens' long game is fantastic, almost every American loves him now and many would fall on their sword for him. He saw it, we're now living it. And if you can't tell, it doesn't matter which politician you love or hate it's all part of the show.

Me: *turns off google home mic switch* hey, google Google: sorry, your mic is off. I cant hear you Me: ....

"There is no such thing as off topic." - Joe This is why this podcast is so great

The quietest Joe Rogan has ever been.

Snowden is an American hero.

Snowden is one honest person. Can’t thank him enough. Imagine how rare he is as an asset to us civilian Americans. Civilians been sleeping way tooooooooooo long. #riseup 💪🏼

This is the quietest joe rogan has ever been in a interview.

4 million views in a day and it’s not trending. Lol k RU-vid.

“it is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” - Upton Sinclair.

The best podcast ever. Just always hits the nail on the head.

The scariest thing he said : “ no warrant is needed to spy on you because it’s not your data, it’s the companies data”

"Don't stay safe, stay free..."

We lost freedom of speech

he is a universal hero

I feel for the guy. He woke up one day and realized what he believed was a lie. He took one for the team.

The best part is how Joe is silent throughout the podcast. He's curious, he knows the guest has limited time and the criticality of the topic, he just let's Edward speak without interruption.

Love how neutral and respectful Joe is to all his guests despite whatever society or media may be saying about said guest, and not only talking about this guest, I have seen him interview a wide range of ppl. He's such a great interviewer. He would have made a great reporter. Very unbiased, and informative. Good convo topics too in all his episodes.

Snowden is a true American Hero.

He needs to be pardoned. He’s a patriot.

"I didn't come forward to be safe. If I wanted to be safe, I'd still be sitting in Hawaii making a hell of a lot of money to spy on all of you."

Very happy that my Government/US History class from High School taught me this. Everyone has to know about this.

I love how Edward was the only person who used a noise gate on his microphone so when he stopped talking it was totally silent.

"When exposing a crime is treated as committing a crime, you are being ruled by criminals" -Edward Snowden

I can't wait for the Hot Ones episode with Snowden.

Really enjoyed that! wow can't believe he held my attention for over 2 hours!!! What a intelligent and brave individual! Thanks Joe R for the great interview, you spokeband guided the interview without unnecessary interruptions and it was still a 'conversation' absolutely the best I've seen in ages!!! 🎉 Thank you

"Truth is treason in the empire of lies." -Orwell

Producer: How many highly important interviews you wanna do in 2019 Joe Rogan: Yes

Joe did an excellent job of just letting him talk and listening. keep it up man!

Hands down the best podcast ive heard in ages! Kudos!

Episode: *hits 1M views Google: *sweating intensifies

Thanks Joe for letting this man talk. I've seen interviews with him and they kept cutting him off and hinting that he's a traitor. This man is a national hero.

2:15:45 Rip

I am Brazilian and I appreciate the legacy of this great man ​

“ The worst thing you’ve ever typed in google is there forever” *everyone has left the chat*

Rogan:"And my next guest is Edward Snowden" RU-vid: "Demonetized"

This guy is a legend

Amazing, one of my favorite interviews.

I’m adding this to “videos that put me on a list”

"Patriotism is not about loyalty to the government, patriotism in fact isn't about being loyal to anything; Patriotism is a constant effort to do good for the people of your country." ~Edward Snowden~

My favorite joe interview.

Fascinating interview. Filled with truth .♥️♥️♥️

"You can’t awaken someone who is pretending to be asleep” Hit me hard!

"Loyalty is only good in the service of something good" FACTS

Having personally researched the topic intensely myself in an ongoing capacity, I am deeply impressed with the quality and accuracy of this report. Well done and thank you.

Ed needs a pod cast for sure 🎉

"If you don't tell your story, other people will tell it for you.."
