EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, featuring Narrator and Narrator, Joe Rogan Experience #1713 - Mike Baker explores ex-CIA officer dissects COVID, Afghanistan, China, and covert power games Joe Rogan and former CIA officer Mike Baker cover a wide range of geopolitical and domestic issues, including COVID policy, the Afghanistan withdrawal, U.S.–China tech conflict, and information warfare. They argue institutions and media have become deeply partisan, facts are routinely subordinated to narrative, and public trust is collapsing. Baker explains how intelligence services exploit social media to sow division and how U.S. political theater obscures accountability for major failures like Afghanistan. The conversation closes with concerns about AI, hypersonic weapons, UFOs, and whether the U.S. can remain competitive without adopting more authoritarian tactics.
