EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, featuring Joe Rogan and Dave Smith, Joe Rogan Experience #2299 - Dave Smith explores rogan and Dave Smith Dismantle Empire: War, Propaganda, and Power Joe Rogan and Dave Smith spend several hours dissecting U.S. foreign policy, information control, and the political establishment, arguing that America functions as a corrupt, unsustainable empire. They connect past interventions in places like Ukraine, Yemen, Libya, Iraq, and Afghanistan to current escalations toward Iran and the Gaza conflict, emphasizing blowback and manufactured consent. The pair criticize the corporate media, NGOs, pharma, and intelligence-linked entities for running sophisticated propaganda systems while demonizing dissenters as extremists. They also discuss the cultural and political impact of Trump, the collapse of legacy media narrative control, and how podcasting and independent journalism are reshaping public opinion.
