In this episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, featuring Joe Rogan and Mike Baker, Joe Rogan Experience #1226 - Mike Baker explores ex-CIA officer unpacks black budgets, covert wars, and modern geopolitics Joe Rogan and former CIA officer Mike Baker discuss Baker’s upcoming TV series “Black Files,” which explores hidden U.S. defense and intelligence budgets, secret programs, and historical black operations. They move into a wide-ranging conversation on secrecy, leaks, and the culture of special operations, including the ethics of operators writing books and revealing missions. The discussion then shifts to contemporary geopolitics: Syria, ISIS, the Kurds, Russia, China, Huawei, cyber-espionage, and space warfare, as well as Trump’s presidency, media dysfunction, and the government shutdown.
