When the news first broke about Snowden, i was one of the people who said he was a traitor and that's all there was to it. I parroted the government line like a blind sheep. Then i actually thought it over for myself after learning more about what he did, why he did it, what info he released, etc, and i quickly realized i was wrong. He is absolutely a hero and a patriot in the truest sense. Im grateful for what he did and for opening so many eyes including my own.
Im with you on that I was active duty at the time and thought what a POS, wow was I wrong. What would we not know without him and others. I no longer trust our govt. DC needs an enema
I wish people would have the same "ahaaa" moment you had with Snowden, concerning Donald Trump! I'm not a Biden fan but I know, without a shadow of a doubt that Trump is NOT a good human! Not concerned with our well being as a country. He's only concerned with what more he can get for himself as POTUS. Not to mention that being elected again may keep him out of prison. He's corrupted morally and physically. We will not survive another Trump presidency!
Now you're parroting the Kremlin/Snowden's line also like a sheep good job. Of the 1.5 million documents Snowden sold for a life of fame and adventure, nearly 100% of them were US _foreign intelligence_ ... Almost none of what he revealed was related to the NSA's domestic spying. He threw that breadcrumb in so that he can portray himself as this heroic figure, man of the people type... it's all such BS. He abandoned one country's intelligence apparatus for another's (which also does mass surveillance of its citizens).
Around the time that he came and outed the govn't, I was starting to do my own research about the truth. I immediately viewed Snowden as a hero. Never once did the thought of him being traitor cross my mind. I can see why people *WOULD* think that way, though.

@@alhermid4513 funny bc he exposed that the US was doing the shit that Russia does. Spies on its own citizens. Russia is at least open about it. The US masked it under the guise of spying on 'terrorists'. The shit the US doing was illegal but they tried justifying it bc of the broad sweeping powers of the patriot act. They continually lied about what they were doing and what information was being collected. If it was a regular company he outed he would of been labeled a whistle-blower and congratulated. Bc it was the government he's labeled a traitor. Mind you I'm a supporter of the CIA and kind of just playing devils advocate. I'm of the opinion that governments across the world are always doing shady shit whether it's run by dictator or democracy and you don't get to be the power player that the US is without knowing and doing very shady shit. The vast majority of people don't give two shits if the government collects their emails or listens to their phone calls as long as they can live their lives the way they want to. We can do that bc the government is so powerful. People just don't like hearing how they maintain that power.

Not a hero, he's a traitor, this is called intelligence gathering and if you don't know where the enemy is then you have to search through it all. Decades and hundreds of millions possibly billions of dollars, unraveled by this man. The spying we were doing was one of the most sophisticated in the world and allowed us to spy on China and Russia, now that they know of the ins and outs of our spying capabilities, they use that to their advantage. The Chinese stole nuclear blueprints, millions of dollars of research into fighter jets, and many more military technology that America holds. Self-centered Americans can only think about themselves and their own "privacy" without realizing that if you have privacy then spies from foreign nations will also have privacy on our soil. The advantage we had over other countries is completely wide open now and demolished. And of course the dumb American civilians response with this traitor was "Hell yeah our freedom!" Nice job idiots, your country's line of defense against spies and terrorism was blown wide open, good job.

Love that Joe just lets him keep going. Most hosts would’ve felt the need to cut in with more questions or at least have themselves on screen while he talks
Even if everyone agrees that Snowden acted ethically, the government can't allow any instances of "sharing classified information" to be tolerated otherwise it would be used as a foothold for future leaks. He knew this would be the outcome before he chose to leak the information. It's just the way it is and I doubt this will change within our lifetime.
@@iRoxorzUrSoxorz So I guess the No Fear Act of 2002 and Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989 that are supposed to protect Snowden don't apply? Classified or not as long as you have a reason to believe that your employer violated the law you're immune to the repercussions of said crime. Interesting how these acts don't apply to Snowden but apply to the whistleblower in the Trump & Ukraine phone call scandal which by the way phone calls between heads of state tend to always be classified talks. Really gets the noggin jogging.
I know it gets complicated. Back in the day it was for ( the greater good) ...but it is not the bay of pigs. It's the 21st century and people deserve the truth. Edward Snowden deserves full pardon!
I make jokes about "oh, that's the CIA listening in on us" when there are connection issues, but it's kinda surreal watching Snowden make the joke when you know it's really happening.
Snowden answers almost every question with a back story in which he sets up his point and conclusion. You can’t make a short clip of anything he says lol

Sorry replied to the wrong thread. I'm a former intel analyst and Snowden was a help desk employee. He didn't have the same clearance the rest of us did. He literally lied about almost everything he "exposed"
In the mid to late 1970’s I was in the USAF stationed at Hickam AFB which is separated from the Navy Base at Pearl Harbor by a chain link fence. I had a Top Secret clearance and worked at night where my only job was to transmit and receive a fax that verified the codes for the next 24 hours were set and verified by another Top Secret facility somewhere in the world. I typically would send the fax to a facility in Germany 🇩🇪 and that guy would fax back that he received my fax and all was good. I even drew a picture on the fax of a guy surfing which the guy in Germany enjoyed and he always sent back a joke. The scary part was the building I was in was extremely secured and information was everywhere. I also had to open a safe that was very large and I had to walk inside to get this nightly information. In there was an unbelievable amount of information scheduled to be sent to every Top Secret facility the US had. It was a scary place and job. I started to get extremely anxious and afraid. After about 8 months doing this I went to the PACAF HEADQUARTERS and quit! I could no longer take because I started reading the information that was going to be transmitted when the new codes were set. It was truly SCARY. I’M now a 70yo veteran and a retired Corporate Pilot and hearing Snowden talk brought back very bad memories.
Well maybe because its Edward Snowden...the man w the biggest balls on earth. You're a different breed of man when you go up against the richest most powerful nation in the world.

This man LITERALLY sacrificed his whole life to tell us the truth about how bad the spying was, how big of a true patriot/hero is that!?!? This man may have done us one of the greatest services of our era. But were all still addicted to technology.
The spying was necessary, this gave us a huge advantage over other countries and this guy completely destroyed that. Many countries now are skeptical when senidng information over US internet cables in which would have been incredibly advantageous to us. Our foreign adversaries like China now also tread more carefully allowing for more spies to infiltrate America from other countries. Because it showed them how our ins and outs worked, an enormous national security breach from this traitor. He's not a hero, he's a man who's pretending to be a hero, he's nothing more than a traitor that destroyed decades of intelligence gathering on our enemies and destroyed a huge advantage that we had over our foreign adversaries.
It's the comedians job to point out the flaws in things. It's likely the only safe way to broach some su jects. People don't like having their faults , and deffiencies pointed out to them unless they can laugh it off. That is the genius of Dave Chappelle. If you really listen to what he says the topics are anything but funny.
The most important thing is that the whole context matters so much xD Like imagine in a hundred years when his story is told without the context people will be like "Well of course you can't trust the government, what were y'all stupid?" not understanding the times and the patriotic surge and everything that had made the pieces fall into place
"They make the law comply with what the agencies want to do, rather than make the agencies comply with the law." That, to me, is probably one of the scariest things a government can start doing.
Quite common when companies or agencies have been regulated for a number of years. The regulator starts becoming sympathetic to the needs of the agency of company instead of the public. Knows as regulatory capture. Basically what’s happening in the uk now with the water companies which keep disposing sewage in fresh water and things like that m.

I find one thing that is VERY interesting about this interview is how what Mr. Snowden says at certain points relate so strongly to our day to day lives and that is how we so easily, often IGNORE the "errors" and inconsistencies, etc! And the importance of taking the blinders off, observing what one is observing, acknowledging that and taking action (even if it means simply disconnecting from truly toxic people with whom we shouldn't be connected) If there are small things we can handle, that's great, but there comes a time when disconnection is the most logical course of action. That's the analogy I find, anyway. Fascinating.
just finished my DOD clearance security awareness refresher the other week. Every year we are reminded of this patriots efforts! Thank you for whistle blowing
In 1980, I was in the USAF. I had been in 6 years, and had a job I didn't like. I went to school for a better job. Electronic Communications and Cryptographic communications. (AFSC 306x0). I had to get a Top Secret clearance, and assigned to an Engineering and Installation squadron. Being a Stall Sargent, I was sent to the Team Chief academy to be a team leader. After that time, I was sent as a team leader to several classified locations. I was given a SCI/TK, SIOP/ESI access. Trust me, in 1980, the NSA was monitoring your phone calls. All the equipment I worked on, was NSA licensed equipment.
You were so professional Joe!!! You allowed Snowden to tell his story and never interrupted him once. If this was Sean Hannity we would have never even heard a peep from Snow. Love the pod cast.
Snowden is a true patriot and a hero who fight for people that don't deserve it. He risks his life and killed his career for rights of Americans. Not everyone has such bravery.
You just believe anything huh? Guys a fucking idiot leaking thousands of documents that had nothing to do with citizen privacy or how about selling to the chinese
The best part about this video is that there very little interruptions and Snowden just went on smoke and explaining his POV extremely well. Rogan only asked great questions, clarifying questions or just a little reaction like "wow". This is actually pretty great

Rico Had they truly believed that then there would zero use for the protect America act and the very deliberate documents changes after being released to the public. It’s clear the government knew they were committing unethical spying but was tried to play it off. Snowden being a high ranking official and making quite the pay felt obligated to let reporters know what was going on after he submitted the files. Now it was the news sites that actually leaked what we saw and not everything made it to the public eye. You could argue that he should have done it anonymously or in a different way but point is he has a death order on his head to this very day because he wanted to let us know. 4 years later most people are at least semi aware of the fact they are being tracked and apps now have the courtesy of saying as much but that’s in large part due to this massive leak. Had he not done the leak we 100% wouldn’t even be aware and to this day there’s no telling what else is being done behind our backs.
Rico that’s my point considering his position there was no other way of leaking the info without being made a fool and disregarded. He didn’t choose to go to Russia but considering the USA cancelled his passport and he had a kill order pretty much every country in the world would comply and arrest him so he fled to the one place America won’t step foot in. He has vocalized how he doesn’t like how things are in Russia and Putin is not great but again in his circumstances you make do with what you can. Towards the end of the interview he mentions how from time to time classified documents become declassified (he said classified document have redacted sections while declassified ones do not but they are the same) they were different from what he had read in his office. To my knowledge no arrests were made. Knowing all of this you still believe the government was in the right here?
Deep, but true. That's why most conservatives are over 45, unless you got mugged by the government when you were young. It takes time, and it comes in stages.
@@macgyveratlarge2133 was mugged by government when I was young, taken from my mom for BS reasons, dragged into court at 16 again for BS reasons but I saw the system and how they treated people being accused not even convicted.
We can help this man by buying his book. I believe it will give us a better knowledge than the interviews can do. He is incredibly intelligent, but his morals surpass the intelligence. He could have just kept his mouth shut and stayed in his comfortable job. That is what most family men would do.
Any government which seeks to expand its power must and will actively work to undermine the rights and freedoms of those they are supposed to serve, not rule. Under Title 18 of the United States Code, the people responsible for that could and should be indicted for numerous serious crimes.

I wish people would have the same "ahaaa" moment you had with Snowden, concerning Donald Trump! I'm not a Biden fan but I know, without a shadow of a doubt that Trump is NOT a good human! Not concerned with our well being as a country. He's only concerned with what more he can get for himself as POTUS. Not to mention that being elected again may keep him out of prison. He's corrupted morally and physically.
We will not survive another Trump presidency!
Now you're parroting the Kremlin/Snowden's line also like a sheep good job. Of the 1.5 million documents Snowden sold for a life of fame and adventure, nearly 100% of them were US _foreign intelligence_ ... Almost none of what he revealed was related to the NSA's domestic spying. He threw that breadcrumb in so that he can portray himself as this heroic figure, man of the people type... it's all such BS. He abandoned one country's intelligence apparatus for another's (which also does mass surveillance of its citizens).
Yet you failed in his greatest hour of need. A woke sheep is still a sheep.
Around the time that he came and outed the govn't, I was starting to do my own research about the truth. I immediately viewed Snowden as a hero. Never once did the thought of him being traitor cross my mind. I can see why people *WOULD* think that way, though.
This man has done so much for us...common folks. Things he uncovered is priceless. Thank you Mr. Snowden for taking a bullet for the common ppl.

@@alhermid4513 funny bc he exposed that the US was doing the shit that Russia does. Spies on its own citizens. Russia is at least open about it. The US masked it under the guise of spying on 'terrorists'. The shit the US doing was illegal but they tried justifying it bc of the broad sweeping powers of the patriot act. They continually lied about what they were doing and what information was being collected. If it was a regular company he outed he would of been labeled a whistle-blower and congratulated. Bc it was the government he's labeled a traitor. Mind you I'm a supporter of the CIA and kind of just playing devils advocate. I'm of the opinion that governments across the world are always doing shady shit whether it's run by dictator or democracy and you don't get to be the power player that the US is without knowing and doing very shady shit. The vast majority of people don't give two shits if the government collects their emails or listens to their phone calls as long as they can live their lives the way they want to. We can do that bc the government is so powerful. People just don't like hearing how they maintain that power.

Mind-blowing brilliant man. He talks casually about extremely complicated systems and explains it in an understandable way. I appreciate it integrity.
I wish this guy’s story had more exposure. Been suggesting it to other people my whole life. True hero.
Not a hero, he's a traitor, this is called intelligence gathering and if you don't know where the enemy is then you have to search through it all. Decades and hundreds of millions possibly billions of dollars, unraveled by this man. The spying we were doing was one of the most sophisticated in the world and allowed us to spy on China and Russia, now that they know of the ins and outs of our spying capabilities, they use that to their advantage.
The Chinese stole nuclear blueprints, millions of dollars of research into fighter jets, and many more military technology that America holds. Self-centered Americans can only think about themselves and their own "privacy" without realizing that if you have privacy then spies from foreign nations will also have privacy on our soil.
The advantage we had over other countries is completely wide open now and demolished. And of course the dumb American civilians response with this traitor was "Hell yeah our freedom!" Nice job idiots, your country's line of defense against spies and terrorism was blown wide open, good job.

Ed Snowden is a hero and not only deserves a pardon, he deserves an apology.
Even if everyone agrees that Snowden acted ethically, the government can't allow any instances of "sharing classified information" to be tolerated otherwise it would be used as a foothold for future leaks. He knew this would be the outcome before he chose to leak the information. It's just the way it is and I doubt this will change within our lifetime.
@@iRoxorzUrSoxorz So I guess the No Fear Act of 2002 and Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989 that are supposed to protect Snowden don't apply? Classified or not as long as you have a reason to believe that your employer violated the law you're immune to the repercussions of said crime. Interesting how these acts don't apply to Snowden but apply to the whistleblower in the Trump & Ukraine phone call scandal which by the way phone calls between heads of state tend to always be classified talks. Really gets the noggin jogging.

In the mid to late 1970’s I was in the USAF stationed at Hickam AFB which is separated from the Navy Base at Pearl Harbor by a chain link fence. I had a Top Secret clearance and worked at night where my only job was to transmit and receive a fax that verified the codes for the next 24 hours were set and verified by another Top Secret facility somewhere in the world. I typically would send the fax to a facility in Germany 🇩🇪 and that guy would fax back that he received my fax and all was good. I even drew a picture on the fax of a guy surfing which the guy in Germany enjoyed and he always sent back a joke. The scary part was the building I was in was extremely secured and information was everywhere. I also had to open a safe that was very large and I had to walk inside to get this nightly information. In there was an unbelievable amount of information scheduled to be sent to every Top Secret facility the US had. It was a scary place and job. I started to get extremely anxious and afraid. After about 8 months doing this I went to the PACAF HEADQUARTERS and quit! I could no longer take because I started reading the information that was going to be transmitted when the new codes were set. It was truly SCARY. I’M now a 70yo veteran and a retired Corporate Pilot and hearing Snowden talk brought back very bad memories.

The spying was necessary, this gave us a huge advantage over other countries and this guy completely destroyed that. Many countries now are skeptical when senidng information over US internet cables in which would have been incredibly advantageous to us. Our foreign adversaries like China now also tread more carefully allowing for more spies to infiltrate America from other countries. Because it showed them how our ins and outs worked, an enormous national security breach from this traitor.

"They make the law comply with what the agencies want to do, rather than make the agencies comply with the law."
That, to me, is probably one of the scariest things a government can start doing.
Quite common when companies or agencies have been regulated for a number of years. The regulator starts becoming sympathetic to the needs of the agency of company instead of the public. Knows as regulatory capture. Basically what’s happening in the uk now with the water companies which keep disposing sewage in fresh water and things like that m.

I find one thing that is VERY interesting about this interview is how what Mr. Snowden says at certain points relate so strongly to our day to day lives and that is how we so easily, often IGNORE the "errors" and inconsistencies, etc! And the importance of taking the blinders off, observing what one is observing, acknowledging that and taking action (even if it means simply disconnecting from truly toxic people with whom we shouldn't be connected) If there are small things we can handle, that's great, but there comes a time when disconnection is the most logical course of action. That's the analogy I find, anyway. Fascinating.

After that time, I was sent as a team leader to several classified locations. I was given a SCI/TK, SIOP/ESI access. Trust me, in 1980, the NSA was monitoring your phone calls. All the equipment I worked on, was NSA licensed equipment.
How ironic. Gets labeled a traitor by actual traitors.
You were so professional Joe!!! You allowed Snowden to tell his story and never interrupted him once. If this was Sean Hannity we would have never even heard a peep from Snow. Love the pod cast.
Den
Snowden is a true patriot and a hero who fight for people that don't deserve it. He risks his life and killed his career for rights of Americans. Not everyone has such bravery.
He's a TRAITOR!!!!!
You just believe anything huh? Guys a fucking idiot leaking thousands of documents that had nothing to do with citizen privacy or how about selling to the chinese
FREE Julian Assange
If you aren’t a propaganda bot, I pity you.
@@1fattyfatman he's more of a patriot than a stupid soldier...
The best part about this video is that there very little interruptions and Snowden just went on smoke and explaining his POV extremely well.
Rogan only asked great questions, clarifying questions or just a little reaction like "wow". This is actually pretty great
Remember when all of this happened and then the entire population just forgot about it.
This is so captivating. When Joe Rogan is silent, you know shit it going down
Hes a very good interviewer. Sometimes less is more
Just skinning up a seriously structurally unstable joint. The quiet is because he is concentrating on the structural integrity after putting 2 Oz in one zoot.
Yeah that's when joe is just as curious as we are. I think it speaks for is skill as an interviewer too
@@philiposborne982 dude that's hilarious. I think it's probably that funny because I just had the same problem
he is thinking about dmt
The pain in his laughs which shows his disappointment in humanity and his own country broke my heart...
You have no idea.
@@jasondantzler2708 No, you have no idea.
@@elso4382 I know a lot. Not everything. Fill me in.
@@elso4382 Actually I do. Because I know the truth. I know what they did to me, my family, and many other people! They will have to tell the truth very soon!
Phenomenally said Sir! Skepticism is something that needs to be practiced. He's indirectly dropping code/hints about what's going on.
“And that’s a problem” understatement of the century
40 mins ,all i got is " I had access "
One of your best interviews ever. Don't care what either side says, this man is a hero and I've defended him as such since he unveiled what he did when he did.
Same. Snowden is a real Patriot.
Legendary interview
Agreed. So how do we fix it when most of the sheep-le are occupied with sports and the Kardashians? We have lost our rights and are now subjects of the US government.
@@richclay7928 Passive resistance
He didn’t do shit he just said it people already knew but couldn’t do anything dumbass this been happening since ww2 with the mafia to know shit like the black market and where money and drugs go bro😂🤦♂️💀🙄.
He’s so eccentric, & he got great energy. You can tell he really is content w/ his decisions, despite their life altering nature. Having your core beliefs restored is a hell of a feeling
Dude is probably at peace, he brought us closer to exposing the evil machinations of this world. One step closer to Utopia
He is still cia-But doing shill work...
@@gaodacheese4691 There is no Utopia, only the greatness that existed and is possible to reclaim.
what actual activism looks like
"that's just the FBI joining the chat" - scary to think how true that might be 😂
"Hang on, the government feed just went down... okay it's back up now. Continue reading Ed."
“And the question is: If they are truly keeping us safe, why wouldn’t they simply just tell us that?”
Just damn.
@@eric7441 That doesn't actually make sense given we're talking about domestic spying on American citizens.
@@eric7441 there is a law ots there for a reason no one is above the low it says in the preamble of the constitution there for this is unconstitutional
Rico The government completely ignoring people’s rights by secretly wiretapping Americans. They were literally above the law.
Rico Had they truly believed that then there would zero use for the protect America act and the very deliberate documents changes after being released to the public. It’s clear the government knew they were committing unethical spying but was tried to play it off. Snowden being a high ranking official and making quite the pay felt obligated to let reporters know what was going on after he submitted the files. Now it was the news sites that actually leaked what we saw and not everything made it to the public eye. You could argue that he should have done it anonymously or in a different way but point is he has a death order on his head to this very day because he wanted to let us know. 4 years later most people are at least semi aware of the fact they are being tracked and apps now have the courtesy of saying as much but that’s in large part due to this massive leak. Had he not done the leak we 100% wouldn’t even be aware and to this day there’s no telling what else is being done behind our backs.
Rico that’s my point considering his position there was no other way of leaking the info without being made a fool and disregarded. He didn’t choose to go to Russia but considering the USA cancelled his passport and he had a kill order pretty much every country in the world would comply and arrest him so he fled to the one place America won’t step foot in. He has vocalized how he doesn’t like how things are in Russia and Putin is not great but again in his circumstances you make do with what you can. Towards the end of the interview he mentions how from time to time classified documents become declassified (he said classified document have redacted sections while declassified ones do not but they are the same) they were different from what he had read in his office. To my knowledge no arrests were made. Knowing all of this you still believe the government was in the right here?
"skepticism is a skill you develop overtime"
that's deep
Deep, but true.
That's why most conservatives are over 45, unless you got mugged by the government when you were young.
It takes time, and it comes in stages.
I was born a skeptic.
@@godofyouall489 more ppl like u please
@@macgyveratlarge2133 was mugged by government when I was young, taken from my mom for BS reasons, dragged into court at 16 again for BS reasons but I saw the system and how they treated people being accused not even convicted.
really isnt that deep, its pretty much a truism
Seriously tho. Are there really Americans who consider this man a traitor?
We can help this man by buying his book. I believe it will give us a better knowledge than the interviews can do. He is incredibly intelligent, but his morals surpass the intelligence. He could have just kept his mouth shut and stayed in his comfortable job. That is what most family men would do.
A legendary pokemon has appeared
Zapados Articuno and Moltres at the same damn time
It’s a shiny!
😂
A wild Snowden has appeared.
Wild SNOWDEN fled!
I wouldn’t be suprised if joe got Jesus on the show next
😂
LoL or on the next episode of The Joe Rogan Experience Kim Jong-un!
lmaooo for real
Can get Jesus but not Brock lesnar
yeah but he will have Neil Tyson on there as well interrupting Jesus every time he tries to talk
Genuinely fascinating
Any government which seeks to expand its power must and will actively work to undermine the rights and freedoms of those they are supposed to serve, not rule. Under Title 18 of the United States Code, the people responsible for that could and should be indicted for numerous serious crimes.
Is it just me or does Snowden have a very calming voice ? He should do a whistleblower ASMR channel .
I know, so soothing. I had to put headphones in lol
Lolol I fell asleep last night listening to this
@@YaddaYaddaDa HAAHAHAHA SAME
