The media this week was filled with reports Joe Rogan has departed from Trump over ICE acting as a modern Gestapo.

We looked at Joe’s whole conversation with Rand Paul, and found the media have it all wrong.

Check out the episode on Tuesday, or now for patrons.

This is an important episode, and one that shouldn’t be missed. Talk of Joe criticising ICE and Trump’s immigration enforcement completely miss the point, and the media repetition of that narrative does a disservice to their audience.

Our analysis isn’t now for Patrons, and free from Tuesday.

Condolences to @skeptic.org.uk for people continuing to confuse them with this massive pair of clown shoes.
The publisher of "Skeptic Magazine" thinks if you get murdered by agents of the government in the act of protest, it's your fault for just not staying home.
